SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority: This Federal Action is in 

consideration of a Department of the 

Army Permit application for work under 

Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act 

of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403), Section 404 of 

the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344) 

and Section 103 of the Marine 

Protection and Sanctuaries Act 

(MPRSA) (33 U.S.C. 1413). 

Background: In April 2005, Port 

Freeport submitted a Department of 

Army Permit Application to widen 

portions of the Freeport Harbor Jetty 

Channel and all of the Freeport Harbor 

Entrance Channel from 400 feet (ft) to 

600 ft. It was determined that an 

Environmental Impact Statement would 

be required for the proposed project. 

Since the November 29, 2005 Scoping 

Meeting, the consulting firm of PBS&J, 

under the direction of the Galveston 

District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(USACE), prepared a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

proposed project. The DEIS is now 

available for public review and 

comment. 

Project Description: Port Freeport 

proposes to widen portions of the 

Freeport Ship Channel. The project 

includes widening the Freeport Harbor 

Jetty Channel beginning at Channel 

Station 63+35 with a gradual widening, 

at the authorized depth, up to an 

additional 150 feet (ft) for about 1,835 

ft to Channel Station 45+00. From that 

point to Channel Station 40+00 the 

widening would be less gradual from 

the additional 150 ft to an additional 

200 ft. Through the rest of the Jetty 

Channel and to the end of the Freeport 

Harbor Entrance Channel (Channel 

Station ¥260+00), the channel would 

be widened an additional 200 ft. The 

length of channel proposed for 

widening is about 6.1 miles, of which 

5.7 miles would be widened by 200 ft. 

The project depth will remain the same 

at 45 ft in the Jetty Channel and 47 ft 

in the Entrance Channel. The widening 

would generate approximately 3.2 

million cubic yards (mcy) of new 

dredged material. Approximately 2.9 

mcy of the new work material would 

consist of clay material and about 

300,000 cubic yards (cy) would consist 

of silty/sand material. If approved by 

EPA and by USACE under Section 102 

and 103 of MPRSA, an ODMDS 

previously designated as a one-time use 

site would be redesignated for 

placement of the 2.9 mcy of clay/silt 

material. The 300,000 cy of silty/sand 

material would be used beneficially and 

placed on Quintana Beach in front of
