About this file
This document is a Galveston District FY27 Project Descriptions summary detailing maintenance dredging requirements across multiple federal navigation channels and waterways in Texas.
The document describes dredging work requirements for 13 distinct projects under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers authority. Each project specifies required dredge types (hopper, pipeline, or mechanical dredges), dredging depths ranging from -16 feet to -60 feet MLLW, and sediment transport distances varying from local placement to 38 miles. Projects include: Sabine-Neches Waterway (hopper/pipeline dredge, -42 ft depth, up to 35 miles transport); Galveston Harbor & Channel (hopper dredge, -48 to -51 ft depth, up to 24 miles transport); Houston Ship Channel (hopper/pipeline dredge, -54.5 ft depth, up to 38 miles transport); Texas City Ship Channel (pipeline/hopper dredge, -48 to -51 ft depth, up to 21 miles transport); Freeport Harbor Channel (hopper/pipeline dredge, -60 ft depth, up to 6 miles transport); Matagorda Ship Channel (hopper/pipeline dredge, -40 ft depth, local to 2 miles transport); Channel to Victoria (pipeline dredge, -16 ft depth, local placement); Corpus Christi Ship Channel (hopper dredge, -56 ft depth); Brazos Island Harbor Channel (hopper/pipeline dredge, -58 ft depth, up to 7 miles transport); Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (pipeline dredge, -17 ft depth, up to 10 miles transport); and Channel to Harlingen (pipeline dredge, -17 ft depth, up to 5 miles transport). Dredged material placement locations include upland confined areas, ocean disposal sites (ODMDS), beneficial use sites, and specialized placement areas such as beaches, bird islands, and marsh restoration areas.

Galveston District FY27 Project Descriptions - SDtB
Work for the Sabine-Neches Waterway (SNWW) for maintenance dredging will require a hopper and pipeline/mechanical dredge(s). The dredge(s) must have the capability to dredge maintenance material up to a depth of -42 ft MLLW and to transport the dredged sediment to a designated Dredged Material Placement Area (DMPA).
Dredged material shall be placed in multiple DMPAs depending on the reach to be dredged and DMPA availability. Potential DMPAs include multiple upland placement areas along the SNWW channel, the Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Sites (ODMDS), and beneficial use site locations.
The transport distance to the designated placement areas varies significantly, ranging from direct, local placement to a few miles for the upland placement areas and beneficial use sites, and up to 35 miles for ocean disposal.
Work for the Galveston Harbor & Channel will require a hopper dredge(s) to perform maintenance dredging up to a depth of -48 ft MLLW, with an additional requirement for increased advanced maintenance (new work) dredging to a depth of -51 ft MLLW within a limited portion of the project footprint. The dredge(s) must have the capability to perform this work and transport the dredged sediment up to 24 miles to the designated placement area. Dredged material shall be placed in the Galveston Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS), with potential Beneficial Use placement on Galveston Island.
Work for the Houston Ship Channel for maintenance dredging will require a hopper and pipeline/mechanical dredge(s). The dredge(s) must have the capability to dredge maintenance material up to a depth of -54.5 ft MLLW and to transport the dredged sediment to a designated Dredged Material Placement Area (DMPA).
Dredged material shall be placed in multiple DMPAs depending on the reach to be dredged and DMPA availability. Potential DMPAs include multiple upland placement areas along the Houston Ship Channel and the Galveston Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS). The transport distance to the designated placement areas varies significantly, ranging from direct, local placement to a few miles for the upland placement areas, and up to 38 miles for ocean disposal.
Work for the Texas City Ship Channel for maintenance dredging will require a pipeline or hopper dredge(s). The dredge(s) must have the capability to dredge maintenance material up to a depth of - 48 ft MLLW, with an additional requirement for increased advanced maintenance (new work) dredging to a depth of -51 ft MLLW within a limited portion of the project footprint. The dredge(s) must have the capability to perform this work and transport the dredged sediment to a designated Dredged Material Placement Area (DMPA).
Dredged material can be placed in multiple DMPAs depending on the reach to be dredged and DMPA availability. Potential DMPAs include upland confined placement areas, semiconfined beneficial use sites, and the Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Sites (ODMDS). The transport distance to the designated placement areas varies significantly, ranging from direct, local placement to a few miles for the beneficial use sites, and up to 21 miles for ocean disposal.
Work for the Freeport Harbor Channel for maintenance dredging will require a hopper and pipeline/mechanical dredge(s). The dredge(s) must have the capability to dredge maintenance material up to a depth of -60 ft MLLW and to transport the dredged sediment to a designated Dredged Material Placement Area (DMPA).
Dredged material shall be placed primarily in the Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS) and the upper reach of the channel shall be placed into an upland confined DMPA. The transport distance to the designated placement areas varies, ranging from direct, local placement and up to 6 miles for ocean disposal.
Work for the Matagorda Ship Channel (MSC) for maintenance dredging will require a hopper and pipeline dredge(s). The dredge(s) must have the capability to dredge maintenance material up to a depth of -40 ft MLLW and to transport the dredged sediment to a designated Dredged Material Placement Area (DMPA).
Dredged material shall be placed in multiple DMPAs depending on the reach to be dredged and DMPA availability. Potential DMPAs include multiple open water placement areas along the MSC channel, a semi-confined placement area, the Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Sites (ODMDS), and beneficial use site locations. The transport distance to the designated placement areas varies significantly, ranging from direct, local placement to a few miles for the semi-confined placement area and beneficial use sites.
