Public Notice          Project Plans

The applicant proposes to discharge approximately 44,100 cubic yards (CY) of fill material along 10.12 acres of Matagorda Bay Shoreline for the purposes of shoreline stabilization and beach nourishment.  Specifically, the applicant will fill approximately 0.92 acres (5,600 CY) of shoreline with riprap and corestone to construct three rock groins, 7.6 acres (33,600 CY) of shoreline with native sediment/sand material imported from commercial sources, and 1.6 acres (4,900 CY) of shoreline with additional riprap/corestone.  The project is intended to restore the existing coastline to pre-erosional conditions and stabilize the area in both normal and extreme hydraulic events adding protection against potential future erosive forces that are threatening impacts to Ocean Drive.  The project also has the potential to increase the amount of sea turtle nesting habitat through the addition of beach fill to rebuild the shoreline.  The placement of groins will be conducive to providing recreational opportunities, generating oyster habitat, and other wildlife species are likely to benefit from the protection and restoration of the beach.
