You get the crane and barges, I'll open up a "value" disposal facility.

Imgaine the price you could get for that stuff after it air's out.

But dredging the vermilion is a must not only for drainage but revitalizing intercoastal city and vermilion parish

Price just went up by 10 million. Probably need some kind of "brother in law permit" from Iberia Parish.

I was listening to a local personality a few days ago and that person said the flow reversal of the Vermillion was a myth. The opinion is that the under current becomes so ferocious below, the top of the water appears to be flowing backward, creating the illusion. I'm assuming that's wrong?

Also, have we considered the disposal cost of the silt and mud, now that the River bottoms are designated "toxic waste"?

As a teenager I farmed corn on the Vermilion River.

I saw debris floating North during a drought.

By citing Iberia Parish, I know that you know what the hell you're talking about. haha. I actually have a guy or three in Iberia Parish that could do it!

Listen, this is my wheel house. I could dispose of that stuff for <10% of what I'd be able to charge. Especially dealing with the dummies in local government. I'd retire of of this project.

Nothing will revitalize Intercoastal City unless the market dictates that exploration on the shelf begins. Which would require, a minimum of $100 bbl oil.

Intracoastal city has been dead for a long time, it was dead with $130 bbl...i don’t think it will ever come back.

I agree with you, even the deep water projects are drying up out of ICY.

Intracoastal City was doomed to failure decades ago when they failed to connect Hwy. 167 to 82 at Perry.

Phi and Broussard brothers are really the only 2 places left with consistent personnel at their facilities. Baker Hughes has a small facility for loading/unloading but that’s about it. The rest are simply waterfront for boats.

My youth just got exposed

Although, my great grandfather was a hog farmer. Then again he must have grown his own corn. ... Busted.
