The Clean Coast Texas Collaborative Years 3 and 4

Project Description

CCTC's dynamic team of experienced engineers, scientists, planners, and educators will provide capacity and incentives to coastal communities that lack the expertise and/or resources to successfully implement Coastal NPS priority projects. CCTC will continue to help communities through the advancement of environmental outreach and education, comprehensive planning, local/regional policy development, green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) projects, floodplain management, on-site sewage facility maintenance, and funding strategies to support the adoption of Texas Coastal NPS Program priorities. Specifically, in Year 3 and Year 4 of this project, Texas State University (TSU), will use CMP GOMESA funding to partner with four additional communities, facilitate adoption of the Sustainable Stormwater Manual by these four communities, establish two to four new local ordinance adoptions and two to four new comprehensive plans, develop design plans to construct four new GSI retrofits in Rockport Memorial Park with educational components, develop 100% engineering plans for Tule Creek/Little Bay stormwater retrofit, develop a Coastwide GSI Virtual Tour, facilitate of 14 Lunch and Learn workshops, and host a total of 18 community workshops or partner events.
