Public Notice          Project Plans

The applicant proposes modifications to the previously authorized Permit SWG-1991-01836 to enhance navigational access and maintenance dredging operations.  The existing dredge template consists of two areas totaling 11.92 acres.  The proposed modifications include expanding the existing dredge template to the toe of the Houston Ship Channel and extending it an additional 50 feet into Sims Bayou, covering an additional area of 11.6 acres.  Dredging activities will involve the removal of a total of 367,250 cubic yards of material (241,250 cubic yards within the previously authorized template and 126,000 cubic yards within the proposed template) using mechanical or hydraulic-cutter suction dredge methods.  The dredging aims to achieve a depth of -41 feet below mean lower low water, with a one-foot allowable over-dredge within the expanded dredge pad area.  Additionally, the applicant seeks a ten-year extension for maintenance dredging operations over a combined total of 23.52 acres (11.92 acres existing and 11.6 acres proposed) and requests the addition of Texas Deepwater and Adloy to the authorized dredge material placement areas (DMPAs) for the placement of dredged material.
