Complying with
the Coastal Zone Management Act and Texas Coastal Management

Work in coastal counties including Orange, Jefferson, Chambers, Harris, Galveston, Brazoria, Matagorda, Jackson, Calhoun, Victoria, Refugio, Aransas, San Patricio, Nueces, Kleberg, Kenedy, Willacy, and Cameron counties, may trigger Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) compliance requirements under the Texas Coastal Management Program (TCMP).
In order to comply with CZMA and the TCMP, TxDOT must:
  • Ensure that the appropriate consistency determination and associated documentation, if applicable, is recorded in the project file or record.
  • Ensure
    any
    change orders are reviewed by environmental staff for consistency with CZMA and TCMP requirements.
