The Corps had been warning N.O. for YEARS that the the levees were not sustainable in a category 5 storm. The warnings were ignored and when money was allocated it was re-routed to other 'more pressing' issues, like welfare, and food stamps.
The legislature has NOTHING to do with the water levels (thank God for small favors). It is controlled by the FERC. Lake Martin was built as an impoundment lake and ALWAYS WILL BE. There are two run of the river dams just below Martin, go have a look at them and see if you can tell the difference.
As for ADEM standards, they are the same on Martin as on all other lakes. The biggest difference is that Martin is so high above what all the others are due to no industry upstream. So why would ADEM raise standards that are already being exceeded?
