“The levee failures we saw were in areas of the projects that were at their full project design. So that part of the project was in place and had this project been fully complete ... it's my opinion, based on the intensity of this storm, that the flooding of the Central Business District and the French Quarter would still have occurred.”
Carl Strock
“These (projects) were not funded at the full ability of the Corps of Engineers to execute the project. But the important question is, 'Would that have made a difference?' And my assessment is, no, it would not.”
“A project is complete when it starts working for you, rather than you working for it.”
Scott Allen
“It is a fact that you project what you are.”

Chuck Bennett
“The projection made for this was for 46,000 daily vehicles by the year 2000, and the latest VDOT projections for 2030 are close to three to four times that number. The lack of sufficient noise mitigation was a factor of those low projections in 1982. The FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] did erect a short wooden fence, but VDOT labeled this a privacy screen, not a noise barrier.”
