River Mouth Update

The Corps of Engineers Environmental Section is compiling an Environmental Assessment to document impacts that could occur as a result of the project.  As part of the Environmental Assessment, a marine archeological investigation of the project area was required.  The investigation revealed several anomalies located within the project area with signatures consistent with boat signatures.  These anomalies may or may not be eligible for registry with the Texas Historical Commission and could require further investigation to positively identify them.

The current plan is to avoid the anomalies by adjusting the channel alignment.  Corps of Engineers  Environmental Section is working closely with the Texas Historical Commission to determine if avoiding the anomalies is a feasible alternative.  This situation should be resolved in a few weeks.  The Corps of Engineers hopes to be able to avoid these anomalies,  thus preventing a negative impact on the project schedule.
