Full Public Notice        Project Plans

The applicant proposes to expand an existing shipyard to include a barge launch rail system and construct bank stabilization.  The barge launch is required to float newly constructed barges into the ship channel.  The bulkhead will stabilize the shoreline and the dredged area will provide adequate depths for the safe launch of the newly constructed barges.  The launch will be constructed utilizing 24-inch by 100-foot pre-stressed concrete pile and corrosion inhibiting, coated 24-inch by 68-inch steel launch rails.  The applicant proposes to install approximately 476 linear feet of steel bulkhead above the high tide line.  The applicant also proposes to hydraulically dredge approximately 0.827-acre of non-vegetated bottom, approximately 10,000 cubic yards, to provide adequate depth immediately adjacent to the proposed launch rail system.  The applicant will coordinate the proposed dredge activities to coincide with Port of Galveston Maintenance dredging activities and will place dredge material in authorized Port of Galveston Placement Areas in conjunction with the coordination of dredge projects.  Materials and equipment will be transported to the site via truck and trailer as well as by barge.  Access to the site will be accomplished both by roadway and the Galveston Ship Channel.  The proposed site is outside of the limits of the Galveston Ship Channel and will not adversely affect navigation during construction.
