POD argues that diverting runoff from the new 98 project away from Old Pass Lagoon will reduce harbor pollution. DOT district engineer Allen Potter notes plans already route water into the harbor and bid requests for a four mile highway segment are out. POD president Rudy Sutton urges immediate study and drainage changes to protect the harbor despite DOT’s stance.
