The Lafourche Basin Levee District in Vacherie, LA

Greenup Industries is delighted to have the North Lafourche Levee District in Vacherie, Louisiana, as a client.

Did you know? The North Lafourche Levee District was formed by an Act of the Louisiana Legislature in 1992. This state board has been responsible for improving flood protection on the west side of Bayou Lafourche from the Intracoastal Waterway in Larose to the northern edge of the Parish.

In 2006, through a statewide re-organization of levee boards, the North Lafourche Levee District was given additional jurisdiction over the east side of Bayou Lafourche, again from the Intracoastal Waterway in Larose to the northern end of Lafourche Parish. This area of the Parish was previously under the jurisdiction of the Lafourche Basin Levee District. The North Lafourche Levee District is now all of Lafourche Parish north of the Intracoastal Canal.

The North Lafourche Levee District works to improve drainage and enhance flood protection for 65,000 residents north of the Intracoastal Waterway in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. The District includes over 250 miles of levees and drainage canals and over 40 pump stations.

The map above is divided into the Levee District's eight defined Project Areas.
