MANAGEMENT OF THE BEACH/DUNE SYSTEM 31 TAC §15.33 The General Land Office (GLO) adopts amendments to 31 TAC §15.33 relating to Certification Status of Nueces County Dune Protection and Beach Access Plan (Plan) with changes to the text as proposed in the November 10, 2006, issue of the Texas Register (31 TexReg 9207). The changes to the text as proposed add new subsections (h) through (j) to address clarifications provided by Nueces County to address in part some of the public comments received concerning the Plan amendments. The GLO adopts amendments to 31 TAC §15.33 to the certification status of the Plan, adopted on August 25, 1995, and amended by order of the Commissioners’ Court of Nueces County, Texas (County), on October 23, 1996 (1996 Plan).

The user has requested enhancement of the downloaded file. Chapter 6: The Gulf Coastal Prairies and Marshes The Gulf Coastal Prairies and Marshes include approximately ten million acres of coastal plain, 20 to 80 miles in width, and barrier islands adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico. Soils are primarily clays and clay loams with some acidic sands and sandy loams; wetlands occur frequently in areas of poorly drained clay soils or sand over impermeable subsoils (Carter 1931). Prairie and marsh grasses were the dominant vegetation in most of the region prior to Anglo-European settlement and cultivation. However, as average annual rainfall diminishes to the south (from 40 inches at Victoria to 25 inches at Brownsville), marshes become much less extensive and brush communities become important on upland sites (Tharp 1939). Like other former grassland areas on clay soils in Texas, the Gulf Coastal Prairies are well-suited to agriculture (except for areas of drift sand); farming, cattle ranching, and urban and industrial development have transformed the region. Of the estimated one million acres of coastal marsh existing in 1950, at least 35 percent has been displaced by urban and industrial development (Gould 1975, 64 FWS 1991).

  • Police Chief the City of Corpus Christi, Texas
    POLICE CHIEF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS PUBLIC SECTOR EXECUTIVE RECRUITMENT THE COMMUNITY The City of Corpus Christi is a beautiful costal city in the South Texas region, located 130 miles southeast of San Antonio. Known as the “Sparkling City by the Sea,” Corpus Christi is the Nueces County Seat, and one of the largest seaports in the United States. Spanish explorer Alonzo Alvarez de Pineda discovered the area in 1519 and settlers incorporated the city in 1852. Over the years, Corpus Christi has grown into a regional hub for marketing, processing, packaging, and distribution of agricultural commodities. Additionally, the City’s economy is diverse with a blend of various business and industries, including petrochemical, tourism, health care, retail, education, shipping, agriculture, and the military. Today, the City of Corpus Christi is the eighth largest city in Texas and the 61st largest city in the US, with a population of 327,406 based on the City’s 2020 estimate.
