Special Public Notice    Draft Policy Memorandum

Email us for copies of the Google Earth Setback Files in KMZ format

The Galveston District is seeking public input on proposed changes to its permit setback policy along the Gulf Coast Intracoastal Waterway to specifically addresses the oversight of construction of structures and /or fill permits along the GIWW to increase safety and preserve the ability to maintain the waterway.  

A setback is the distance that a structure must be “set back” from the edge of the channel to ensure there are no encroachments in the navigable channel to support safe transportation and maintain sufficient clearance for dredging the channel.  Setbacks are represented visually on Google Earth and may be downloaded.

The District established an interagency-team comprised of state and federal agency partners as well as commercial users of the GIWW to develop the proposed setback policy.  Members of the team included the; Corps’ Area Offices and Regulatory Branch, U.S. Coast Guard, Texas Department of Transportation, Texas General Land Office, Gulf Intracoastal Canal Association, and numerous towing vessel operators.
