Port of Houston Seeks Permit for 52 mile Channel Dredging Program

The application covers maintenance dredging along the full 52‑mile Houston Ship Channel, from the Upper Turning Basin through Galveston Bay to the entrance channel, with material placed in the offshore Galveston Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site approximately 3.7 nautical miles from shore. A range of equipment — hopper, pipeline, cutterhead, mechanical dredges and bed‑levelling machinery — is proposed, and the programme is separate from the recently completed Project 11 expansion, intended only to preserve the authorised channel dimensions. The US Army Corps of Engineers has opened a public consultation on the permit until August 27.
