Public Notice Project Plans

The applicant proposes to permanently discharge a total of 18,085 cubic yards (CY) of fill material within 1.02 acres of the Houston Ship Channel to provide continued serviceability to the existing, previously authorized protective cellular structures associated with an existing transmission tower, to replace two failed protective cellular structures (Cell 2 and Cell 3), and to provide continued protection to the existing transmission tower from future vessel collisions.

Phase 1 of the project was conducted September 2023. The applicant requests to retain the discharge of 1,790 CY of granular fill material, installation of 13,100-square-foot geotextile filter fabric cover, and discharge of 2,600 CY of graded rip rap scour protection within 0.34-acre of the Houston Ship Channel surrounding cellular structures 4, 5, and 6. The scour protection terminates at the same elevation as the original mudline at the point when the structures were permitted in 2014.

Phase 2 includes the construction of the protective island replacing Cells 2 and 3 (failed cells) and placement of fill material surrounding the remaining Cell 1. This phase consists of the discharge of 6,625 CY of higher quality granular fill bedding stone and a cap of 7,070 CY of riprap armor stone within 0.68-acre of the Houston Ship Channel. Access to the project site will be from the Houston Ship Channel with working vessels coming in from the east and/or west. There will be no land-based workspaces.
