Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-West
Our mission is to protect the residences and businesses of the West Bank by ensuring that our flood protection system functions as designed.
Latest News
All year, our crews are working to make sure we consistently provide the best flood protection in the West Bank's history. Recently, we performed annual maintenance on the floodgates at Host terminals in Avondale.
During these annual checks, we complete a comprehensive inspection and testing of all components, including seals, hinges and anchors.
If you're driving through Waggaman, you may notice some new ramps and a bridge structure over River Road. This is work being performed by UBE as they work to construct their process facility within Cornerstone Chemical. The ramp and bridge were permitted through our office and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and we are diligently monitoring the activity.
The crossing portion of the project should be wrapping up in the next few months.

We recently hosted Colonel Autin, Commander and District Engineer for the New Orleans District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and his team at our SLFPA-W office to discuss our ongoing shared commitment to maintaining our flood protection system and protecting the people of the West Bank.
This partnership ensures our levees, floodgates and sector gates operate at the highest standard. We are thankful for their partnership and look forward to working with them to help ensure the West Bank's flood protection functions as designed when needed.
