The area addressed by the application is located at 622 Hwy 35 in Gregory, San Patricio County, Texas 78359-0162. This application was received by the TCEQ on November 20, 2023.
The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, will codify the conditions under which the site must operate. The TCEQ Executive Director recommends issuance of the draft permit. The purpose of a federal operating permit is to improve overall compliance with the rules governing air pollution control by clearly listing all applicable requirements, as defined in Title 30 Texas Administrative Code (30 TAC) §122.10. The permit will not authorize new construction or new emissions.
Notice and Comment Hearing. The hearing will be structured for the receipt of oral or written comments by interested persons.

During the informal discussion period, the public is encouraged to ask questions and engage in open discussion with the applicant and the TCEQ staff concerning this application and draft permit. Issues raised during this discussion period will only be addressed in the formal response to comments if the issue is also presented during the hearing. After the conclusion of the informal discussion period, the TCEQ will conduct a notice and comment hearing regarding the application and draft permit. Individuals may present oral statements when called upon in order of registration. A reasonable time limit may be established at the hearing to assure that enough time is allowed for every interested person to speak. There will be no open discussion during the hearing. The purpose of this hearing will be to receive formal public comment which the TCEQ will consider in determining whether to revise and/or issue the permit and in determining the accuracy and completeness of the permit. Any person may attend this meeting and submit written or oral comments. The hearing will be conducted in accordance with the Texas Clean Air Act §382.0561, as codified in the Texas Health and Safety Code, and 30 TAC §122.340.

Federal License and Permit Activities:
Applicant: Kansas City Southern Railroad
Location: The project site is located in the Sabine-Neches Waterway, along D D 7 Levee Road, in Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas.
Latitude and Longitude: 29.930707, -93.875504
Project Description: The applicant proposes to expand the dredging footprint and depth associated with a previously authorized project to better accommodate incoming ships and match new Federal channel lines. The area to be mechanically and/or hydraulically dredged will be expanded from 5.86 acres to 7.46 acres and increased in depth from -46 feet to a maximum depth of -52 feet MLLW (-54 feet MHW). Approximately 101,267 cubic yards of material will be dredged. The dredged material will be placed into federal dredged material placement areas (DPMAs) 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26. Additionally, the applicant requests maintenance dredging for a period of ten years. Compensatory mitigation is not proposed.
Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application #SWG-1996-02886. 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 the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.
CMP Project No: 25-1115-F1
Applicant: City of Corpus Christi
Location: The project site is located in Oso Bay, at South Bay Park, in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas.
Latitude and Longitude: 27.691613, -97.317788
Project Description: The City of Corpus Christi proposes to replace the failing retaining wall and shoreline protection at South Bay Park with a sand beach, a vegetated articulating block mat (ABM) revetment, and a rock groin system. The proposed system will closely mimic the historical shoreline, add resilience with the installation of rock groins, provide an ecological uplift from existing site conditions, and create the only official public recreational access point for Oso Bay.
Approximately 1,980 cubic yards (CY) of sand and 371 CY of rock will be placed into Oso Bay for the proposed beach and rock groin shoreline stabilization concept. The shoreline will also include approximately 127 CY of vegetated concrete articulating block mattress (ABM) revetment, which will be placed on top of geotextile fabric to reduce settlement. The ABM revetment will be approximately 6-inches thick and occupy approximately 0.022 acres below the high tide line (HTL). Sand fill will total approximately 0.527 acres, and rock fill for the rock groin will total approximately 0.100 acres in Oso Bay. All fill material in Oso Bay will total approximately 0.65 acres.
The Project will also remove an existing storm drain and install a new drainage outfall east of the rock groin. Moreover, additional repairs will be implemented, such as park upland sidewalks, and one walkway ramp, to allow the community safe access to the proposed sand beach.
The rock groins will be constructed west and east of the sand beach. The western rock groin will be approximately 74 linear feet (LF), and the eastern rock groin will be approximately 99 LF in length. The two rock groins will have a crest elevation of +3.5 feet (ft) North American Vertical Datum (NAVD), approximately 2.5 horizontal (minimum) to 1 vertical side slope. The groins will be approximately 8 feet wide at the top of the crest and have an average base width of 25 feet, as illustrated in Attachment A. The rock will be placed on geotextile fabric on the bay bottom to help reduce settlement.
Sand fill is proposed to be placed between the rock groins at a maximum elevation of +2.75 ft NAVD for shoreline stabilization and beach sand creation. Fill material will be provided by a contractor and will be tested for total organic carbon, total petroleum hydrocarbons, ammonia, grain size distribution, and percent solids. Construction machinery such as tracked excavators, front-end loaders, dump trucks, or dozers will access the Project Area from existing roads adjacent to South Bay Park and the landside. No vessels, other aquatic construction machinery, or dredging are proposed to minimize aquatic disturbances.
The proposed Project aims to restore the historical shoreline of South Bay Park by creating a stabilized shoreline with a sand beach, vegetated ABM revetment, and a rock groin system. The Project will not impact any special aquatic resources such as seagrass, oyster reefs, or wetlands. The Project will provide an ecological uplift by placing a rock groin that provides increased availability of hard substrate as a habitat for other estuarine and marine organisms and provide a sand beach for public access to Oso Bay and foraging grounds for shorebirds. Since the Project's main goal is to restore the existing shoreline, and it does not result in the loss of special aquatic sites, compensatory mitigation is not proposed.
Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application #SWG-2024-00550. 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 the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.
CMP Project No: 25-1126-F1
Applicant: Pelican Asphalt/Lone Star Paving
Location: The project site is located in the Old River (San Jacinto), approximately 17 miles east of Houston, within Harris County, Texas.
Latitude and Longitude: 29.789025, -95.086581
Project Description: The applicant requests a modification as an extension of time (EOT) to previously authorized Permit SWG-1996-02924 (formerly 15555) for a period of 10 years for maintenance dredging activities of the entire 1.98-acre boat slip to the previously authorized total dredge depth of -13.73 feet Mean High Water (MHW) -11.5 feet Mean Lower Low water (MLLW) + 1-foot over dredge. The applicant proposes to dredge up to 10,000 cubic yards of accumulated silt and mud during each maintenance dredging cycle using mechanical (clamshell) and/or hydraulic cutterhead suction methods. Dredged material will be hydraulically pumped via pipeline or transported by barge to previously authorized placement areas, including Peggy Lake, Alexander Island, Lost Lake, Spillman Island, East and West Clinton, Texas Deepwater, East and West Jones, Adloy, and Avera. The purpose of the project is to maintain navigational capacity and operational safety in the applicant's barge fleeting and loading area. The applicant has not proposed mitigation.
Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application #SWG-1996-02924. 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.
