Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, Flood Control: Reconnaissance Report -~ IF.ml. ~ US Army Corps of Engineers New Orleans District --· ------------------------------------~---Lafayette Parish, Louisiana Flood Control Reconnaissance Report June 1995 SYLLABUS This report presents the findings· of a reconnaissance-level investigation of rainfall flooding associated with storm water runoff and high river stages along the Vermilion River in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana. The study was conducted as an interim study under the Mermentau, Vermilion, and Calcasieu Rivers and Bayou Teche, Louisiana study authority. The parent study was authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1944; the River and Harbor Act of 1945; and four separate resolutions of the Committee on Public Works of the United States House of Representatives adopted in 1964, 1966, 1968, and 1970. The study area is located in southern Louisiana and encompasses all of \ '., >, . LcLiayette Parish. The urban flood control study efforts concentrated on problem areas identified by the study team using input from Parish officials, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) repetitive damage data, and historical flooding information. The reconnaissance study investigated potential solutions to prevent flooding in Lafayette Parish caused by heavy rainfall and high stages on the Vermilion River. Impacts on adjacent parishes, as a result of proposed solutions, were considered. Alternative measures that were evaluated during this study include: diversion of flood waters; retention/ detention basins; channel modifications; removal of channel obstructions; levees and pump stations; flood control structures; and other non-structural alternatives. Existing computer models developed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), previous hydraulic computer output, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood insurance studies and prior flood studies of the study area, and historical flood records were utilized to establish existing conditions. Two structural alternatives and non-structural measures (floodproffing) were determ~·,1ed economically and environmentally feasible to reduce the magnitude of flood damages in Lafayette Parish. The identification of feasible plans warrant proceeding to the feasibility phase of the study.

The Charenton Bridge (Bridge Recall No. 008970) is located at latitude 29.825298 north, longitude - 91.537959 west.1 The coordinate represents the center of the bridge. It was obtained in 2016 by plotting its location in Google Earth. The location has no restriction on its release to the public. Present Owner: State of Louisiana. Present Use: Vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Significance: The Charenton Bridge is significant as an important example of a distinctive truss type. The bridge’s significant design feature is its K-truss configuration, characterized by the arrangement of vertical and diagonal members to form a “K” in each truss panel. The K-truss is a rare variation both nationally and in Louisiana, where there are only three extant examples of the bridge type.2 The Charenton Bridge retains good integrity and clearly conveys the significant design features of the through K-truss. It was determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) in 2013 under Criterion C: Engineering at the state level of significance.3 Historian(s): Angela Hronek, Cultural Resource Specialist, and Robert M.
