Public Notice Project Plans

The applicant proposes to discharge fill into the open water of San Antonio Bay to construct 7 acres of marsh and construct 1,100-linear-foot of breakwaters. The project is intended to restore Swan Point by creating and enhancing marsh habitat.

Approximately 27,000 cubic yards (CY) of material will be mechanically dredged from an adjacent 3.6-acre boat ramp channel and discharged in the open water to create 7 acres of marsh site which will be composed of 7 marsh cells with tidal channels between the cells. The boat ramp channel will be dredged to a maximum depth of -6 feet with an initial volume of 12,200 CY to be dredged and the balance of material coming from future maintenance dredging.

Approximately 3,000 CY of stone will be discharged in the open water to construct the 1,100-linear-foot breakwater which will be composed of 9 breakwater segments with 8 artificial reef units placed between the breakwater segments. Each stone breakwater will have a length of 90 feet with a crest elevation of +3-foot NAVD88. Artificial reef units will have a crest elevation of +2-foot NAVD88 and a length of 24 feet.

Temporary access channels, covering up to a total of 19.6 acres, will be mechanically dredged to a maximum depth of -4 feet to allow access from the boat ramp channel and the Federal Navigation Channel to the project site. The dredged material will be temporarily sidecast within the designated open water workspaces. All sidecast material will be backfilled at the completion of construction.
