Project Description
DU will use Cycle 28 Coastal Management Program Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act (GOMESA) funds awarded as this Project of Special Merit to directly build upon the Phase I effort and advance two priority sites—Causeway Bird Island (rookery island construction) and PA9-S (marsh creation)—from 60% to 90% project designs. DU will oversee a subgrantee as they complete geotechnical analysis, magnetometer surveys (if necessary), revisions to engineering and permit packages, and permit application submittal for both sites. DU will submit permit applications to USACE with the intent to complete the USACE regulatory process for full permit approval, contingent upon regulatory feedback and approval from USACE during the grant period. DU will also oversee completion of coastal boundary survey(s) and GLO submerged lands lease(s) as necessary for both sites. DU will engage with appropriate stakeholders (PCCA, GLO, Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program etc.) to provide input and review of the 90% project designs.
