ASCE President urged to conduct swift internal probe

Today Levees.Org dispatched a letter to the President of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) urging the organization to do a speedy and thorough ethics investigation into allegations of wrongdoing charged by Dr. Ray Seed, a civil engineer and ASCE member at the University of California Berkeley.

Dr. Seed turned in a letter on October 30, 2007 to ASCE detailing an intentional plan by the US Army Corps of Engineers to hide their mistakes immediately after the New Orleans flooding, and to intimidate anyone who tried to intervene. This was done, according to Dr. Seed, with the complicity of the ASCE.

The March 5 letter was signed by Levees.Org’s board as well as 3,760 citizens all across America. The sign-on letter is part of Levees.Org’s goal to expose collusion between the two giant civil engineering groups.
