ABC News: Engineers Work to Repair Levees by 2006: "NEW ORLEANS Nov 12, 2005 � Engineers may not have time to rebuild all 350 miles of battered levees in the New Orleans area before the next hurricane season, but they plan to shore up the structures enough to withstand another storm.
The Army Corps of Engineers expects to stabilize any weak areas in the levee system before the 2006 hurricane season begins in June.
'Construction might continue past June ... but it will be capable of protecting from a hurricane,' said Walter Baumy, chief engineer for the agency's New Orleans district."
