Gulf Intracoastal Waterway maintenance urged by district engineer
Colonel Don S. McCoy, District Engineer, describes a two volume environmental statement for maintenance dredging of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and eleven tributary channels from Sabine Neches Waterway near the Louisiana border to Port Isabel near the Mexican border. Dredging by hydraulic pipeline keeps 460 miles of channels open for commercial and recreational navigation. Some bottom life and vegetation will be disturbed but continued maintenance preserves water circulation and access to back bays. Environmental review will involve Federal and state agencies and citizens under the National Environmental Policy Act. Copies available from the Environmental Resources Branch, U S Army Engineer District, Galveston.
