Drainage issues and hurricane recovery occupied most of the Cameron Parish Police Jury’s time on Friday, Aug. 6. A conceptual plan for controlling flooding along Marshall Street in Cameron was presented by Leonard Harper, of Lonnie Harper and Associates. Harper identified three outlets to the river: the old ferry landing, Rex Street, and Davis Road. He said tidal fluctuation is not very conducive to outflow, and neither is sediment buildup in drains. Future sea level rise will further complicate the drainage problem.
