Summary
BOB Hydrographics, LLC (BOB) conducted a marine archaeological assessment for portions of the Bluewater SPM Project (the Project) proposed in Nueces and Aransas counties and adjoining federal waters (Figure 1). This study supports a separate permit application to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for authorization under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. The Project would allow loading of Very Large Crude Carriers at a DWP, to be located approximately 17.3 miles offshore of San Jose Island. (Lloyd) contracted Naismith Marine Services (Naismith) to organize and conduct a geophysical survey for offshore project components associated with the Bluewater SPM Project located in the Gulf of Mexico, adjacent to Aransas County, Texas. The information and results of surveys conducted for project components located west of San Jose Island are provided under a separate cover. The archaeological resource evaluation was performed by Robert Gearhart, and will be provided under a separate cover as well
