Catfish Point Control Structure: Foundation Investigation

Abstract

The proposed Catfish Point control structure is on the Mermentau River at Grand Lake. Geopgraphically, it is about 30 miles southeast of Lake Charles, Louisiana. The structure will provide protection against high tides and salt 1trater intrusion. A new and deeper channel will facilitate the passage of flood flows down the Mermentau River. If navigation traffic is of sufficient volume, one gate may be developed into a lock, to facilitate the movement of navigation during various river tides nnd flood stages.
