Notice and Opportunity to Comment on Requests for Consistency Agreement/Concurrence Under the Texas Coastal Management Program

On January 10, 1997, the State of Texas received federal approval of the Coastal Management Program (CMP) (62 Federal Register pp. 1439 - 1440). Under federal law, federal agency activities and actions affecting the Texas coastal zone must be consistent with the CMP goals and policies identified in 31 TAC Chapter 26. Requests for federal consistency review were deemed administratively complete for the following project(s) during the period of November 3, 2025 to November 7, 2025. As required by federal law, the public is given an opportunity to comment on the consistency of proposed activities in the coastal zone undertaken or authorized by federal agencies. Pursuant to 31 TAC §§30.20(f), 30.30(h), and 30.40(e), the public comment period extends 30 days from the date published on the Texas General Land Office web site. The notice was published on the web site on Friday, November 14, 2025. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 14, 2025.

Federal License and Permit Activities:

Applicant: EPIC Crude Terminal Company

Location: The project site is located in the Tule Lake Channel approximately 0.83 miles WNW of the former Tule Lift Bridge site, in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 27.815750, -97.466917

Project Description: The applicant is requesting a modification to deepen and extend dredging thresholds to accommodate a more fully laden Suezmax and Aframax Class Vessel. The proposed dredge footprint would be 11.6 acres to a new maximum depth of -58 feet mean lower low water (MLLW). The newly proposed dredging footprint of 11.6 acres was modified to include all side and end slopes that would be dredged at a 2.5 horizontal to 1.0 vertical grade. The proposed side and end slopes were proposed to achieve a stable slip footprint to reduce erosion and draft development within the slip in an effort to reduce the recurrence of maintenance dredging activities. An estimated volume of 107,852 cubic yards of material would be dredged beyond the previously permitted depth of -51 feet MLLW to achieve mudline elevations down to the required depth of -57 feet MLLW within the slip. An additional estimated 17,975 cubic yards would be dredged below the required depth of the slip and slopes from within a 1' allowable over depth area to a maximum depth of -58 feet MLLW, for a total of an estimated 125,827 cubic yards of dredged material. Dredged material would be placed in one or more of the following DMPAs: Suntide DMPA, Tule Lake DMPA No. 6, South Shore DMPA - Cells A & B, DMPA No. 1, Herbie A. Maurer DMPA, Rincon B West, DMPA 14, DMPA 13, and/or Good Hope DMPA Cell J and I. Maintenance dredging activities would either be performed by mechanical or hydraulic dredge methods with material deposited into one of more of the aforementioned DMPAs. The proposed dredging activity would occur over a period of approximately 3-5 weeks. Following completion of the proposed project, it is estimated that maintenance dredging would occur at a frequency of every 3-5 years over a period of 10 years. It's estimated that maintenance dredging events would result in the dredging of approximately 10,000-15,000 cubic yards of material per maintenance event.

This portion of the Tule Lake Channel is surrounded by multiple similar commercial facilities and is adjacent to the Corpus Christi Ship Channel Improvement Project that is ongoing. The proposed project is an amendment to permit SWG-2024-00559, which authorized a dredging footprint of 6.75 acres to the previously authorized depth of -47 MLLW with two feet of over dredge and two feet of advanced maintenance for a total dredging depth of -51 MLLW. The project also included a 120-foot-long by 16-foot-wide ramp/walkway connecting the dock to the shoreline with a 90-degree bend along the shoreline to avoid the existing railroad tracks and provide an 85-foot-long by 16-foot-wide approach to accommodate loading access to the dock. The 70-foot by 50-foot dock platform was to accommodate three loading arms, deck crane, ship gangway, and a dock house. Also authorized was the installation of a 602-foot-long sheet pile bulkhead to be placed an average of 90-feet waterward from the shoreline (approximately 1.24-acre area) with approximately 16,000 cubic yards (CY) of fill placed below the ordinary high-water mark (OHWM). Also authorized was the enclosure of a 0.001-acre fringe wetland with the placement of fill material within the enclosed bulkheaded area. This authorization is still active with an expiration date of December 31, 2025. The applicant has not proposed to mitigate for the proposed impacts.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application #SWG-2014-00559. This application was previously posted as review pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act with the consistency review for this project may be conducted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act. This application is now being reviewed pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899.

CMP Project No: 25-1117-F1

Applicant: Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program

Location: The project would affect waters of the United States and navigable waters of the United States associated with Copano Bay and is located at 0.33 miles east of the intersection of Rancho Grande and 1st Street, in Bayside, Refugio County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 28.120973, -97.172764

Project Description: To install breakwaters to reduce shoreline erosion and to create a living shoreline behind the breakwaters and proprietary habitat structures. The applicant requests authorization to construct a breakwater structure 1.7 miles long by 50 feet wide, 400 feet from the shore. The breakwater crest elevation is designed to be 4 feet above NAVD88 with a 4 horizontal to 1 vertical grade on the seaward side and a 2 horizontal to 1 vertical grade on the landward side. The crest width is designed to be 4 ft wide. The discharge of fill involves 76,000 cubic yards of riprap and 9,700 cubic yards of proprietary habitat structures into 11.5 acres of open water bottom. The proprietary habitat structures will be designed with stone, concrete, sediment and plants.

The applicant has provided the following explanation why compensatory mitigation should not be required: The applicant is not proposing to mitigate for the proposed impacts stating that the project will reduce or prevent future erosion of the vegetated habitat and the area between the breakwater and the shoreline will be the future site of placement of riprap material, that will be allowed to restore to a more naturalized and native state. Additionally, the installation of a hard substrate will allow for the natural colonization and recruitment of oyster reefs.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2025-00276. 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. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.

CMP Project No: 26-1029-F1

Applicant: Calhoun County

Location: The project would affect waters of the United States and navigable waters of the United States associated with Lavaca Bay and is located along the Magnolia Beach shoreline at Matagorda Inlet; in Calhoun County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 28.5603446, -96.5379816

Project Description: To achieve shoreline stabilization of Magnolia Beach through the construction of a jetty system intended to prevent sedimentation within Magnolia Inlet and enhance water circulation between Lavaca Bay and Old Town Lake. The applicant requests authorization to discharge 5,000 cubic yards (CY) of fill material below the high tide line (HTL) of a 0.4-acre area of Lavaca Bay to construct a 790-linear-foot jetty system in two segments. The northern jetty (398 linear feet) and southern jetty (392 linear feet) will border Magnolia Inlet and maintain a crest elevation of +5 feet NAVD88. The stone jetties will be constructed using land-based construction methods and be placed in areas devoid of any special aquatic sites. The project includes mechanical dredging of 2,000 CY of material from 1.1-acre area of Magnolia Inlet to achieve a depth of -3 feet NAVD88. All dredged material will be hauled by truck and placed within the limits of an adjacent beach nourishment project authorized by Permit SWG-2022-00561. The applicant offered the following compensatory mitigation plan to offset unavoidable functional loss to the aquatic environment: No compensatory mitigation is proposed.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2025-00508. 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. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.
