Federal Agency Activities:

Applicant: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Location: The project area is in upper Galveston Bay, southeast of Atkinson Island, north of the Mid Bay Placement Area, and east of the Houston Ship Channel.

Project Description: The Bay Aquatic Beneficial Use Sites project will consist of two types of beneficial use (BU) placement areas (PA): an excavated BU PA created by excavating the bay bottom and using that material to construct confining dikes, and marsh fill PAs for the beneficial use of material to create intertidal vegetated marsh habitat. The containment dikes around these areas will be constructed of bay bottom material excavated from within the dredged material PA. The crest and outer slopes of these containment dikes are anticipated to provide habitat benefits, such as upland bird nesting habitat, intertidal marsh, and oyster reef.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers draft Environmental Assessment.

CMP Project No: 25-1166-F2

Applicant: Texas Department of Transportation

Location: The project site is located along FM 2004 Highland Bayou in Galveston County, Texas.

Project Description: The proposed project would extend for a total of 0.185 mile along FM 2004 at Highland Bayou and would take place within the existing TxDOT right of way. The proposed facility would reconstruct the bridge and approaches, add a southbound left-turn lane, ten-foot-wide shoulders, and six-foot-wide sidewalks on the bridge.

Type of Application: U.S. Coast Guard bridge permit exemption.

CMP Project No: 25-1196-F2

Federal License and Permit Activities:

Applicant: TNI Investments, LTD

Location: The project site is located in wetlands and open waters adjacent to Gangs Bayou, Sweetwater Lake, and West Bay, at 11314 Homrighaus Road, in Galveston, Galveston County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 29.252473, -94.897818

Project Description: The applicant proposes to permanently discharge fill material into 3.81 acres of emergent and scrub shrub intertidal estuarine wetlands and into 0.16-acre of other surface waters for the purpose of constructing berms and berm pumpouts, to perform elevation improvements, and to install three culvert configurations. The applicant proposes to permanently excavate material from 1.34 acres of emergent and scrub shrub intertidal estuarine wetlands, 34.77 acres of existing ponds, and 0.10-acre of other surface waters for the purpose of constructing swales and deepening four existing ponds. Additionally, the applicant proposes to temporarily impact 18.83 acres of emergent and scrub shrub intertidal estuarine wetlands and 9.94 acres of other surface waters for the above referenced fill and excavation activities in addition to constructing temporary access paths and temporary placement of a pipeline for thin layer placement activities. The purpose of the project is to restore, enhance, create, and protect freshwater and estuarine wetland habitat, open waters, and uplands within a 327-acre property known as the Legacy Wetlands at Sullivan Ranch. The applicant's proposed project consists of multiple components and are detailed below.

Excavation of Ponds and Swales

The applicant proposes to excavate a total of four existing Ponds. Ponds 1 and 2 are proposed to be excavated to a maximum depth of 20 feet, Pond 3 to a maximum depth of 10 feet deep, and Pond 4 to a maximum depth of 5 feet deep. The side slopes for all four ponds have been designed to allow for wetland plantings and Pond 4 will contain gently sloping for vegetative shelves to add habitat to the site and provide substrate for beneficial wetland functions.

The applicant proposes to permanently excavate 1.34 acres of emergent and scrub shrub intertidal estuarine wetlands and 0.10-acre open waters for the purpose of constructing two swales (eastern and western boundary) totaling 4,189 linear feet which are intended to avoid drainage impacts to adjoining properties due to the proposed berms.

Constructing Berms, Berm Pump-out, and Culvert Configurations

The applicant proposes to permanently discharge 13,752 cubic yards (CY) of excavated non-beach quality sand material into 3.8 acres of emergent and scrub shrub intertidal estuarine wetlands and 0.16-acre of open waters to construct 8,004 linear feet of berms and a berm bumpout for the purpose of preventing frequently reoccurring high tide flooding from intrusion to freshwater zones on the property and for retaining freshwater to allow management for both wetlands and wildlife. Additionally, the applicant proposes to temporarily impact 4 acres of wetlands and 0.18-acre of open waters.

The applicant proposes to permanently discharge 444 CY of fill material into 0.01-acre of the proposed new eastern and western boundary swales for the purpose of installing three culvert configurations. Culvert one consists of two 25-foot-long 12-inch-diameter HDPE pipes, Culvert 2 consists of three 22-foot-long 12-inch-diameter HDPE pipes, and Culvert 1 consists of one 30-foot-long 24-inch-diameter HDPE pipe. Additionally, a manual water level control structure is proposed to be installed on the berm outlet culvert and will avoid any impacts to waters of the US.

Temporary Access Paths

The applicant proposes to temporarily discharge fill material into 6.36 acres of emergent and scrub shrub intertidal estuarine wetlands and 0.04-acre of open waters for the purpose of installing temporary access paths for the overall project.

Thin Layer Placement

The applicant proposes to discharge 26,886 CY of non-beach quality sand material into 22 acres of tidal marsh for the purpose of thin layer placement for marsh restoration and resilience.

Wetland and Upland Planting Plans

The applicant proposes to plant a mixture of wetland planting groups totaling 14.74 acres consisting of 1.98 acres of floating and submerged, 4.86 acres of marsh margin, 2.44 acres of shallow emergent marsh, 2.35 acres of tall emergent marsh, 1.26 acres of vegetative edge fringe marsh and 1.85 acres of vegetative swales.

The applicant proposes to conduct upland planting in three zones totalling 22.24 acres consisting of 11.43 acre of coastal prairie, 1.52 acres of neotropical migrant bird habitat, and 9.29 acres of oak mottes.

Upland Enhancement

The applicant proposes to discharge 18,507 CY of non-beach quality sand material into 2.92 acres of upland prairie and 5.55 acres of oak mottes for the purpose of upland enhancement.

The applicant proposes to compensate for the unavoidable impacts of wetland functions and values through like and in-kind permittee responsible mitigation at one onsite location and two offsite locations at a 1:1 ratio, as detailed in the attached Permitte Responsible Mitigation Plan. In summary, the applicant proposes to mitigate for permanent impacts to 38.64 acres of emergent intertidal estuarine wetlands, 1.28 acres of scrub shrub intertidal estuarine wetlands, and 0.26-acre of other surface waters by improving, enhancing, restoring, and protecting estuarine wetlands and by creating 39.23 acres of other surface waters on Galveston Island. Additionally, the applicant proposes habitat improvements over 327 acres, planting herbaceous, native aquatic plant species over 14.74 acres along the ponds and swales and creating 11.43 acres of coastal prairie, 1.52 acres or neotropical migrant bird habitat, and 9.29 acres of oak mottes, as detailed in the attached Habitat Creation Plan.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2023-00293. This application will be reviewed pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.

Notice of Public Hearings and Public Comment Period on the Draft 2026 Regional Allocation Formula Methodology

The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (the Department) will hold a public hearing to accept public comment on the Draft 2026 Regional Allocation Formula (RAF) Methodology.

The public hearing will take place as follows:

Wednesday, June 4, 2025

2:00 p.m. Central Time

Stephen F. Austin Building Room 172

1700 Congress Ave, Austin, Texas 78701

The RAF may be accessed from TDHCA's Public Comment Center at: https://www.tdhca.texas.gov/tdhca-public-comment-center

The RAF utilizes appropriate statistical data to measure the affordable housing need and available resources in the 13 State Service Regions that are used for planning purposes. The RAF also allocates funding to rural and urban subregions within each region. The Department has flexibility in determining variables to be used in the RAF, per §2306.1115(a)(3) of the Tex. Gov't Code, "the department shall develop a formula that…includes other factors determined by the department to be relevant to the equitable distribution of housing funds…" The RAF is revised annually to reflect current data, respond to public comment, and better assess regional housing needs and available resources.

The RAF methodology explains the use of factors, in keeping with the statutory requirements, which include the need for housing assistance, the availability of housing resources, and other factors relevant to the equitable distribution of housing funds in urban and rural areas of the state.

The Single Family HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Multifamily HOME, Housing Tax Credit (HTC), and Texas Housing Trust Fund (HTF) program RAFs each use slightly different formulas because the programs have different eligible activities, households, and geographical service areas. For example, §2306.111(c) of the Tex. Gov't Code requires that 95% of HOME funding be set aside for non-participating jurisdictions (non-PJs). Therefore, the Single Family and Multifamily HOME RAFs only use need and available resource data for non-PJs.

The public comment period for the Draft 2026 RAF methodology will be open from Monday, May 19, 2025, through Tuesday, June 17, 2024, at 5:00 p.m., Austin Local Time. Anyone may submit comments on the Draft 2026 RAF Methodology in written form or oral testimony at the June 4, 2025, public hearing.

Written comments concerning the Draft 2026 RAF Methodology may be submitted by mail to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, Housing Resource Center, P.O. Box 13941, Austin, Texas 78711-3941, by email to info@tdhca.texas.gov. Comments must be received no later than Tuesday, June 17, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Austin Local Time.

Individuals who require auxiliary aids or services for the public hearing on June 4, 2025, should contact Nancy Dennis, at (512) 475-3959 or Relay Texas at 800-735-2989, at least three days before the meeting so that appropriate arrangements can be made.

2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18. If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize under $600 from the "777" Scratch Ticket Game, the Texas Lottery shall deliver to an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian a check or warrant in the amount of the prize payable to the order of the minor.
