Public Notice          Project Plans

The applicant (TXDOT) proposes to impact approximately  0.85-acres of tidal open water to stabilize an existing roadway, Farm to Market Road 2031, along its interface with a tidally influenced open water. More specifically the project will stabilize approximately 0.68-mile of shoreline along the east side of FM 2031 through the installation of stone riprap at a 4:1 (horizontal: vertical) slope, cement stabilized sand, concrete traffic barriers, and rock gabions for erosion protection. The riprap slope would dissipate tidal and wave energy across a sloped, flexible surface, reducing the potential for scour and long-term erosion while accommodating minor settlement and shoreline movement. Stone riprap, cement stabilized sand, and portable concrete traffic barriers will be installed at a 4:1 (horizontal: vertical) slope to provide erosion protection. This will be constructed along the entire 0.68-mile length of the area of concern, the east bank alongside FM 2031. Approximately 90 feet of rock gabions would be installed on the north end of the project to allow recreational access. Approximately 646.5 cubic yards (CY) of stone riprap and 3.03 CY of fill will be discharged.
