The property is sandwiched between the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Sabine-Neches Ship Channel) and State Highway 82, on Pleasure Island, Port Arthur - Gulf of Mexico, Jefferson County, Texas. The property has 2,600 Feet of Waterfront Frontage (790 meters). On the Gulf of Mexico, Port Arthur, Texas, the property is further located on a deep-water channel only 10 Miles from the sea and along the 12,000-mile Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, on Mile 289 West.
The seller of the property comes with a permit from the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers to sheet pile (put bulkheads) and dredge the water frontage up to a 40-foot depth. The permit allows for the owner of the property to dredge along 2,600 feet of the east bank of the Port Arthur Ship Canal. The purpose of the dredging is to facilitate shoreline access for future marine service operations (barge fleeting) at the subject property. The approved application had proposed to hydraulically dredge an estimated total of 385,185 cubic yards to a depth of 40 feet and extending 100 feet channel-ward in order to match the federally maintained Port Arthur Ship Canal. The proposed total dredging is to be conducted over a 10-year maintenance period and, as such, all dredge materials will be placed in established CE Disposal Area No. 8, located adjacent to the owner’s property on Pleasure Island. Additionally, 2,600 linear feet of commercial (sheet-pile) bulkhead will be installed along the property’s shoreline. The bulkhead I permitted under Nationwide Permit #13.
