The Army Corps of Engineers not characterizing this as a breach, however, since that means a there's a hole in the wall and structural failure.

The water is higher than the top of the breach. "The hole" is everything above the levee.

A breach is when the levee gets shorter. So far, there has been no report of the Industrial Canal levee getting shorter due to Rita. It did get shorter due to Katrina.
