PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  The applicant proposes to permanently impact, through the discharge of 1,728 cubic yards of fill material, approximately 0.325 acre of estuarine emergent wetlands, 0.607 acre of palustrine emergent wetlands, 0.793 acre of palustrine forested wetlands, and 0.088 acre of other waters of the U.S. during roadway construction activities associated with the 1.7-mile extension of Landing Boulevard.  The proposed roadway will extend Landing Boulevard from just north of FM 518 (West Main Street), in League City, Galveston County, to a proposed roundabout with the proposed NASA Road 1 Bypass extension, which will connect to the existing NASA Road 1 Bypass at Interstate Highway 45, in Webster, Harris County, Texas.  The proposed roadway extension includes a bridge over Clear Creek with a length of 2,772 feet from approach-to-approach.  The bridge structure requires authorization by the US Coast Guard; the Corps will evaluate the discharges of fill material associated with the construction of the bridge approaches.  The proposed roadway and bridge will consist of two, 12-foot lanes in each direction; one, 10-foot shared use path to the west; and one, 5-foot sidewalk to the east.  Approximately 1.812 acres of wetlands and waters will be temporarily impacted during construction activities associated with the proposed roadway expansion.
