Public Notice          Project Plans

The applicant requests authorization to create, restore, and enhance wetlands within the Roberts Mueller Unit (RMU) of the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge (JNNWR) through Beneficial Use of Dredge Material (BUDM). Dredged material will be obtained from USACE maintenance dredging of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) and placed in two separate cells (Cell A and Cell B), restoring and/or enhancing a total of 540.11 acres of deteriorated marsh habitat. Specifically, Cell A is 296.60 acres with 163 acres enhanced and 129 acres restored by BUDM. Cell B is a total of 248.99 acres with 37 acres enhanced and 211.11 acres restored with BUDM.

The work associated with the restoration activity will consist of two main actions. The first action will be to create perimeter berms to a top elevation of 2.5’ above grade around each of the proposed cells for containment of BUDM. The second will be placing hydraulically dredged material for beneficial use purposes to restore soil elevations within the cells to a level that will support emergent wetland plants to a target elevation of 1.4’ above grade. Each placement cell will have at least one cross levee, dividing it into smaller sections for purposes of containment. Dredged material would provide fill for the two placement cells and the containment levees would be built from material collected from borrows within the interior of the cells, to be filled in with placed dredged material.
