Anchor Bay Project Description LEAP Engineering undertook site inventory and analysis for Beneficial Use of Dredged Material planning. The BU Plan called for 23,000 cubic yards of west bay bottom sands to be placed in three placement areas as a low breakwater, and for marsh substrate to restore 40 acres of subsiding marsh in thin lifts, and preserve over 350 acres of remaining marsh, sea grass beds, and calm shallow water areas. The BU Plan was support material for USACE permit assistance for a proposed residential boat canal community on Galveston Island, Texas. Permit assistance also included undertaking a hydrodynamic model using RMA2 for circulation and sedimentation analysis. LEAP Engineering also undertook a morphological analysis of both existing marsh conditions and those proposed in the Beneficial Use Plan using the regionally adapted Hydrogeomorphic Approach for Assessing Wetland Functions of Northwest Gulf of Mexico Tidal Fringe Wetlands by USACE, NMFS, USGS, NRCS, OPRD, and TPWD. |
