Public Notice          Project Plans

The applicant proposes to modify DA Permit SWG-2012-00602 to mechanically and/or hydraulically dredge an 18-acre siltation basin to a maximum depth of -60 mean lower low water (MLLW) within the 33-acre TXIT berth. Approximately 289,000 cubic yards (CY) of new cut material would be removed and placed in any of the following previously approved sites:  Pierce Marsh beneficial use (BU) site (SWG-2015-00313), Snake Island, SPPA, Federal dredge material placement areas (DMPAs) including San Jacinto and Pelican Island; five Port of Galveston (POG) former ship slips (# 12, # 14, #37, #39, and #41), Port of Galveston placement area (PA), Pelican Island BU Site; and TXIT BU DMPA (SWG-2025-00116). This request also includes an additional 5 years of maintenance dredging of approximately 300,000 CY of material annually, including the maintenance material from the proposed siltation basin within the berth, and disposal of maintenance material all placement areas stated above, as well as federal open water placement areas 50 and 51. The purpose of the project is to allow for safe navigation to the TXIT berth by expanding and deepening the previously authorized siltation basin in order to capture sediment that leads to the excessive accumulation of silt in the berth.
