Snookie Faucheux...A Visionary
Sponsored legislation that lead to the intergovernmental agreement between St Charles Parish and The Pontchartrain Levee District which opened the door to the first Eastbank hurricane protection levee pump. This legislation was the common dominator for the Corps of Engineers, Pontchartrain Levee District, Motiva/Shell, and St Charles Parish to focus resources toward one goal, the justification for this pump project. The data complied through this agreement, facilitated the St Charles Parish agreement with Motiva/Shell and their commitment to one half of the cost of the Bayou Trepagnier Pump, an approx. $4.3 million donation.
This was the first of its kind between government and private industry in St Charles Parish. This data reduced the time requirement of the Corps of Engineers Reconnaissance and moved St Charles Parish into the Feasibility Phase of this study to justify the remainder of the pumps in this levee system creating an $8.6 million credit toward future Corps work. This data was also used for the FEMA decision for the reduction in flood elevation and flood insurance premiums.
 
 
 
Successfully lobbied for and received the first line item appropriation funded in the federal budget for St. Charles Parish. It has been funded for four years for a total of approx. $1.9 million. This appropriation facilitated a $1.1 million grant issued for further wastewater infrastructure improvements.
