PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  The applicant proposes to mechanically/hydraulically dredge 14.3 acres, install a 615.5-linear-foot bulkhead, and discharge fill material into 0.34 acres of Buffalo Bayou, associated with the construction of a dock, mooring, and breasting structures along the Houston Ship Channel.  Specifically, of the 14.3 acres, approximately 1.2 acres (approximately 1,936 cubic yards) are uplands that will be excavated to create open water.  The newly created 1.2 acres of open water and 13.1 acres of existing open water will be hydraulically dredged below the Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) line to the elevations shown on the attached exhibits.  Approximately 508,470 cubic yards will be hydraulically dredged to a depth of -45.5 feet (-41.5 feet plus 2 feet of advance dredge and 2 feet of over dredge).  Total excavation/dredge is approximately 510,406 cubic yards.  Approximately 0.23 acres of rubble, rock bottom, palustrine wetlands (PRB2) and 0.11 acres of existing open water will be filled with compacted soil backfill behind the proposed steel sheetpile bulkhead.  Approximately 1.2 acres of open water will be created by excavating uplands in front of the proposed bulkhead.  Therefore, the proposed project’s net impact to waters of the United States will be the creation of approximately 1.09 acres of open water.  Total dock length is approximately 615 linear feet.  Of the 615 linear feet, approximately 215 linear feet of dock and associated pipe piles will be in an area that is currently open water.  The remaining 400 linear feet of dock and associated pipe piles will be in new open water to be created by excavating uplands in front of the proposed steel sheetpile bulkhead.  The applicant’s plans are enclosed in 15 sheets.
