TITLE 31. NATURAL RESOURCES AND CONSERVATION PART 1. GENERAL LAND OFFICE CHAPTER 15. COASTAL AREA PLANNING SUBCHAPTER A. 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 amendments to 31 TAC §15.33 add a new subsection (f) to certify as consistent with state law the amendments to the Nueces County Plan that were adopted by the Nueces County Commissioners’ Court on December 7, 2005 (2005 Plan Amendments). In addition, a new subsection (g) is added to certify as consistent with state law a variance from the requirements of 31 TAC § 15.6(f)(3) in the County’s Plan that allows a permittee to alter or pave the ground in the area between 350 feet and 200 feet landward of the vegetation line for recreational amenities such as pools separate from habitable structures, so long as residential or commercial structures are located at least 350 feet landward from the line of vegetation and the applicant demonstrates that every attempt has been made to minimize the use of impervious surfaces in the area between 350 feet and 200 feet landward of the vegetation line.

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).

STOP #1: PACKERY CHANNEL – BEACH TO BAY We will start this field guide near the north jetty of Packery Channel and hike across the island to Corpus Christi Bay (fig. 1). The island emerges from the Gulf of Mexico at the beach. Behind the beach are a series of dunes. The dunes, which are mostly stabilized by vegetation, give way to a vegetated flat that extends back toward Corpus Christi Bay. Highway 361, the main road down Mustang Island, generally runs along the vegetated flat just behind the dunes. Away from the dunes, across the vegetated flats, is the bay margin at the edge of Corpus Christi Bay. In the shallow waters of the bay itself are the marine grassflats. The major environments are easy to recognize. Each has its own characteristics, each has its own flora and fauna, and they occur in a predictable sequence because each is linked to the others by interdependent processes. Figure 1. Schematic illustration of the major environments on Mustang Island. PACKERY CHANNEL: Packery Channel, along with Newport Pass, 1852 Pass, and Corpus Christi Pass (Stop #2), form a complex of storm-washover channels along northern Padre Island and southern Mustang Island. A storm- washover channel is like a temporary tidal inlet that occurs where Gulf of Mexico waters driven by storms have washed over the island eroding a channel and depositing sand in the bay. Storm-driven waves from hurricanes have opened Packery Channel in 1933, 1945, 1961, 1964, 1967, and 1970. Each time the natural tidal currents were too weak to keep the channel open, and it was blocked with sand within a few months.

Port Aransas, Texas a Colleague at the Nueces County Historical Commission Recently Directed Me to a Valuable Historical Work
THE OWNERSHIP AND EARLY CULTURAL HISTORIES OF MUSTANG ISLAND John Guthrie Ford, Ph.D. Port Aransas, Texas A colleague at the Nueces County Historical Commission recently directed me to a valuable historical work. It is the 1997 study of Mustang Island State Park conducted by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Although the park, located on south Mustang Island, was the TPW focus, the paper provided information on a broader scale; namely, history of the ownership of all Mustang Island up to circa 1900,1 and archeological findings from south and north areas of the Island. Here is my overview of this study. I. Ownership of Mustang Island Mustang was initially a hunting and gathering place for prehistoric peoples, and possession of the Island was a matter of the territorial imperatives practiced by these people. The Island next became the sovereign domain of national entities, and the first of these was Spain. In deciding when Mustang came into Spain‘s New World hegemony, the Pineda 1519 map mission on the Texas coast seemed reasonable. The Spanish showed scant interest in the Texas coast until the French began sniffing around in the late 1600s. Spain sent military missions to shoo them away, and on one such mission our Island was referred to as Bar of San Miguel–to my knowledge Mustang‘s first name. Mustang Island became Mexican land in 1821 (independence from Spain).2 The Mexicans understood the strategic importance of the coast–a lesson learned from the historical French incursions. Recog- nizing that losing the coast to a foreign power would threaten all of Texas, the Mexican government decreed that the barrier islands, and anywhere within 10 leagues (about 30 miles) of the coast, could not be colonized without special permission.
