Full Public Notice     Project Plans

The applicant proposes to construct 3,901 linear feet of porous circular concrete breakwater system to provide shoreline protection and preserve coastal habitat along the western shoreline of Nueces Bay.  The proposed breakwater system would consist of twelve breakwater structures, all of which would be installed on the sandy, non-vegetated bay bottom to avoid impacts to aquatic resources.  Structures would consist of individual circular interlocking units measuring approximately 5 feet in diameter and 2 feet tall.  Units would be partially submerged and alternately stacked to create an interlocking system between the upper and lower units.  Based on engineering design, approximately 0.52 units would be installed per linear foot, resulting in a total project footprint of 0.86 acres and the placement of approximately 1,008 cubic yards of porous circular concrete material within open water.  Construction and installation of the proposed project would be completed via light load barges equipped with cranes.
