Petronilla Wetlands

Project Description

The Grantee will use Coastal Management Program (CMP) Cycle 29 Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act (GOMESA) funds to 1) acquire multiple tracts (collectively referred to as “Properties”) to include ~50 acres from the City of Robstown (Robstown, TX) and ~250 acres from a private landowner (Driscoll, TX); 2) procure an engineer to complete a feasibility study, alternatives analysis, and engineering designs for both Properties ; and 3) obtain required federal, state, and local permitting, consultations, and environmental clearances on both Properties for future construction and discharge activities. This project leverages existing regional partnerships through multi-faceted efforts to improve water quality conditions in Baffin and Oso Bay and the feeding streams of Petronila Creek, San Fernando Creek, and Oso Creek.
