the actual rocks were zero dollars to tell ya the truth...the rocks came from 14 miles down the MRGO..they dreged and collected a half mile of rocks at the end of the long rocks on th MRGO and thats were the rocks came from...as far as expenses i couldn tell ya i imagine its alot though..i watched it happen day by day..and hated them closing it more and more..it wont help anything when it all boils down to it...

I just can't understand how our government works. I work in the oilfield and if we can erect a whole production facility in inland waters for uner a mil, then the Corps should be able to move some rocks for less than a million!

Exactly. All they did was move rocks. Not haul them in

one guy tried to argue that coastal zone permits are expensive. And I was like Ive done permitting and know what it costs and it's not 1 billion dollars
