DRIFT/LEVEE REPAIR/FLOOD FIGHTING/STATION MARKERS
After
a high water event, the Mississippi Levee Board removes the
drift that has floated against and onto the levee structure.
The debris is piled and burned. Miscellaneous erosion repairs
are constantly being repaired by the Levee Board through out
the year including man made damages. Station Markers are constantly
being repaired, straightened, painted and numbered to ensure
ability to properly locate problem areas in a flood fight/inspection
situation. In the event that a flood from the Mississippi
River occurs, Levee Board personnel are on a constant state
of alert and inspection of the levee system. Routinely, sand
boils are sand bagged by Levee Board personnel.
