Levees.org asks a question. The USACE chooses to non-respond.

In April 2025,  Levees.org discovered in a FOIA request that the Army Corps of Engineers has not graded the New Orleans levee system for 5 years––something done routinely since 1959.

We gave this surprise information to Alex Lubben with The Advocate who questioned the Army Corps about it. We were not satisfied with the Army Corps’ explanation in Mr. Lubben’s story. So on August 21, 2025, we held a press conference.

We asked the Army Corps “does the system meet the requirements for 100-year protection that Congress tasked you to design and build?” The corps has not responded to our question.
