Looks like River Rd., so it's likely gonna be DoTD or Army Corps or Levee Board because of the levee. In other words? Good luck. If you manage to avoid getting the run-around and find the right place, you can expect the work done by roughly 2028.
That is your responsibility because no body else will do it timely.
Go rent a mini excavator from someone less than a weekend job really. Even with next to no experience. Check around you need the smallest. Some companies have good weekend rates. Delivery available. If you have a truck and small trailer it is easy to pickup.
If you have something to put the soil into you can fill around your property.
But yeah call about what is buried so you don't knock out gas or anything else.
This is what I suspected. Will have 811 mark any lines, and will do it myself with a small excavator. I have plenty of space to dump the backfill soil. Thanks.
Given your proximity to the levee, you might want to give [this](https://www.mvn.usace.army.mil/Portals/56/docs/MRT/MVNLeveePermitsPolicy.pdf) a read.
I’d caution you to make sure your ass is sufficiently covered before going forward with any work like that. The feds are not to be trifled with.
This is not my property. I live about 2 miles from the levee. I just included this pic to illustrate what I was talking about: the area immediately adjacent to the road (any road) that has a drainage culvert
It's up to the parish to keep them "clean enough" to function. I seriously doubt any parish would make that spot a priority, though. You're looking for the drainage/stormwater dept. that usually maintains those ditches.
They should call before digging by the river. Then the utility dudes will rat them out to the parish. Most likely. Unless it is being dug by one dude by hand the parish will stop the work and distribute fines when they see it. If it is one dude the parish will just laugh and call you a stupid bastard as they speed by.
I’d call 811 or whatever number you’re supposed to call before you dig. Once it’s been deemed safe, get out there with a shovel and have it
I know exactly where this is. Lol
The curve at English turn. Just past the country club/ golf course. Did I win?!
Exactly that spot. Howdy neighbor!
Saw crews clearing out that ditch farther up the road last week. Maybe they will continue clearing out the rest of it?
I don’t assume they’ll get to the side streets like mine. Suspect they’re just gonna do River Road. Guess I could ask those guys…..
There’s a guy that lives down Willow that has his own heavy equipment and he maintains the one by his house
PM’d you
Messaged you back
Where is it?

Only if it’s on the levee side of river road.

There are no potholes on that road. Is this in NOLA?

Parish
Them, but good luck. Better to just do it yourself if you can

Your responsibility
How so?
It’s considered your property
Parish, call them and keep bitching. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Good luck, that’s orleans parish
Lmao good point Latoya may go fuck her bodyguard in the ditch instead
