Resumen

The Corpus Christi Ship Channel in Texas connects the Port of Corpus Christi to the Gulf of Mexico. The Port is seeking to deepen the Corpus Christi Ship Channel to 22.9m (75ft) nominal depth in order to allow fully loaded very large crude carriers (VLCC’s) to access proposed terminals within the port complex. As a part of the environmental coordination requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) the Port Authority prepared a number of studies to assess the potential environmental impacts of the proposed channel deepening. These included assessing changes in hydrodynamics, salinity, storm surge, and sedimentation patterns including sediment movement generated by vessel generated currents. The channel design was also verified through vessel maneuvering studies which were conducted using modeled currents, dynamic underkeel clearance assessment, and propeller scour potential determination. The fate of proposed beneficial use of dredged materials to construct a submerged beach berm and perform beach nourishment was also assessed.
