Just the city limits, not including Hahnville or Edgard, is a rectangle 33 miles by 13.
Area equals one point three billion square yards.
Depth...at least twelve feet, four yards, so somewhere on the order of five point three billion cubic yards.
Call it 253 million tri-axle dump trucks full.
Milllions of C.Y.!
