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 10, 2025 to November 14, 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 21, 2025. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 21, 2025.
Federal License and Permit Activities:
Applicant: Lisa Halili - Razz Halili Trust
Location: The project would affect waters of the United States and navigable waters of the United States associated with Dickinson Bayou and is located approximately 0.30-mile southeast of the intersection of North State Highway 146 and Avenue T in San Leon; in San Leon, Galveston County, Texas.
Latitude and Longitude: 29.464254, -94.971305
Project Description: To construct a commercial docking facility to provide an area for shallow draft vessels in the Dickinson Bayou area to safely dock for storage and repairs. The applicant requests authorization for the following activities: To install 4,300 linear feet of vinyl sheet bulkhead into 0.05-acre of four estuarine emergent (EEM) wetlands (Wet 3, 6, 7, and 9), of which, 1,400 linear feet will be below the mean high water of Dickinson Bayou. The vinyl sheet pile bulkhead will measure approximately 5 feet in height above mean high water and will be installed using a vibratory hammer.
To discharge 300 cubic yards (CY) of stone material into 0.25-acre of 5 Palustrine Emergent Wetland (PEM) wetlands (Wet-3, Wet-4, Wet-6, Wet-7, and Wet-8) and into 0.35-acre of Dickinson Bayou to install 1,300 linear feet of riprap bank stabilization intermittently along the face of the bulkhead in areas where extra shoreline protection is needed. Riprap will be delivered to the site via a heavy-haul truck and installed from the land using an excavator or long reach excavator.
To discharge approximately 22 CY of concrete material into 0.2-acre of one PEM (Wet-3) to install a 1,700-foot-long by 25-foot-wide concrete boardwalk surrounding the perimeter of the new access channel and north along the property boundary shoreline to a termination point with the adjacent property. The concrete boardwalk will have anchor points installed to tie-off and moor vessels within the access channel. In order to construct the boardwalk, a concrete truck will access the construction site and pour concrete within the designated boardwalk locations.
To hydraulically and/or mechanically dredge a total of approximately 54,700 CY (3.44 acres) of material, of which 27,300 CY will be from a 1.02-acre area of Dickinson Bayou and 0.39-acre area of Wet-3 to create a new 1,000-foot-long by 150-foot-wide entrance channel to -11 feet mean low lower water (MLLW). All dredge material will be placed within three onsite upland placement areas (Disposal Area 1, Disposal Area 2, and Disposal Area 3). The height of the containment berm for each disposal area will range between 6-10 feet, depending upon amount of material placed within each disposal area and settlement of that material. Containment berms will have crests measuring approximately 5-foot in width and bottom widths measuring approximately 45-65 feet in width with 3:1 side slopes.
Additionally, the applicant proposes to construct a new permanent 500-foot-long by 20-foot-wide access road constructed wholly within uplands and to stage construction equipment in a temporary one-acre construction staging area located on-site wholly within uplands.
Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application #SWG-2024-00099. 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: 25-1034-F1
