Bayou Teche - Floodgate Transit Advisory --- Reported: 2026-08-21 --- Mariners are urged to exercise caution when transiting the East and West Calumet Floodgates due to heavy siltation on the approaches to the floodgates on the Wax Lake Outlet side, which may create unsafe navigation conditions during periods of lower water levels. The East and West Calumet Floodgates are located on Bayou Teche at approximately Mile 5.0, just east of Wax Lake Outlet. Floodgate closures may become necessary due to water levels and conditions. For up-to-date information regarding the floodgate waterway conditions, vessels can contact the Lockmaster at (985) 384-6334. POC: USACE (504) 862-2153
