Project Description
The state of Texas, through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), is requesting $23,680,000 in Spill Impact Component funding for the Shoreline and Beach Restoration Program (SBRP). The TCEQ proposes to work in collaboration with the Texas Governor's Office and the Governor's Commission to Rebuild Texas (CRT) to assist local Texas coastal communities that were severely impacted by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. The Shoreline and Beach Restoration Program, and the associated projects implemented under this program, contributes to both the ecological and economic recovery of the Gulf Coast. Texas has hundreds of miles of coastline on the Gulf with significant population and industry. Restoration of shorelines and beaches can increase the health of those ecosystems, promote tourism, and provide important barriers to protect established development. Program duration is expected to be four years.
