We and cur consultant, the U. S. Army Coastal Engineering Research Center, do not agree that the estimated hurricane surge discussed in section 2-4.2.1 is the highest that can be generated at the site.
Furthermore, we believe a large radius, relatively fast moving hurri-cane with probable maninum characteristics could produce a sign *fi-cantly higher surge.
For example, hurricane Camille (1969) indaced a water level elevation of 24. 2 ft. (M3 L) reasured at P ss Ch r w t i an,
'Iississippi, is not in tha clacs of the proba'c'e canimun nurricane
( PMH ), b u t is abcut equivalent to the estinated maximun surge p-sented in par - 2.,. 2.1.
Car cenaulten; has made se - : 2liminar; paramecric cc=putaticas *;hich indicate a surge s tillv?. tar level in excess of +35.4 ft. (MLW) based en PME parameters ar follows:
