Public Notice           Project Plans

The applicant proposes to permanently discharge 12,357 cubic yards (CY) of fill into 0.47-acre below the mean high water (MHW) of the Houston Ship Channel and conduct work associated with the construction of a new marine terminal, including the dredging of approximately 350,000 CY of material.  The project components include bank stabilization and facility expansion for land-based operations, vessel loading and unloading dock infrastructure, and vessel berthing area.

The permanent fill consists of the discharge of 2,200 CY of material into 0.11-acre below the MHW of the Houston Ship Channel (Fill Area 1) and 21,660 CY of material into 0.36-acre below the MHW of the Houston Ship Channel (Fill Area 2) for the purpose of expanding the footprint needed for land-based operations.  A 1,030-linear-foot bulkhead will also be installed to stabilize the shoreline.

The dock includes the construction of a 528-foot-long by 84-foot-wide platform located in uplands and within proposed Fill Areas 1 and 2 which will be located landward of the bulkhead and four 84-inch-diameter breasting dolphins.  The dock will have a swinging vessel loading and unloading arm that will be attached to the platform.

The 7.32-acre vessel berthing area will be hydraulically and/or mechanically dredged to a maximum dredge depth of -48.5 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).  In addition to the initial 350,000 CY of new dredge material, the applicant is requesting to perform maintenance dredging activities for a period of 10 years which is anticipated to occur on an annual basis with an estimated volume of 60,000 CY per cycle.  The applicant proposes to dispose of the dredged material into a federally authorized dredge material placement area and/or a privately owned upland confined site as depicted on the project plans.
