Because the incident is so recent, the scope of the analysis was somewhat constrained due to data availability. This task report discusses the following topics: The events of March 22, 2014, and the following days. The effect of the incident on barge traffic flows. Transit delays for shipments already on the water and the cost of those delays. Shipments that were postponed because of the channel closure. Decontamination requirements. Background—The Incident At 12:35 p.m. on March 22, 2014, a collision occurred in the Houston Ship Channel just inside the junction known as the Texas City “Y.” This is an extremely busy intersection of various shipping lanes, both deep sea and shallow draft. Figure 1 shows the location of the accident, as well as the routing for the various ship channels and the GIWW in that area. 2 Figure 1. Map of Ship Channels in Vicinity of Oil Spill.

  • Foresight Built the Rosenberg Library's Archives
    64 The Houston Review 65 and where with the focus upon Magruder's battle. As such, it is an ex- cellent, readable, well-researched presentation- David G. McComb, Professor of History Colorado State UniversitY Foresight Built the Rosenberg Library's Archives Casey Greene The Rosenberg Lib rary in Galveston has long been recogn rzed, for its significant historical collection$. In 1923, the Southwestern His- torical Quarterly called them "a veritable treasure, undoubtedly the most important in the State except those at Austin."r Today, they constitute the core of the Galveston and Texas History Center, one of the Library's most prestigious departments. The genesis of this collection predates the opening of the Rosenberg Library's building to the public in 1904. On August 3, lB7 l, some twelve men founded the Galveston Historical Society, adopting the constitution and by-laws of the New York Historical Society. They sought to acquire and preserve papers, maps, and artifacts "that may serve to illustrate the general history of Texas, and of localities and events therein."2 The founders had the foresight to reco gnize the value of documentary materials that would likely have been lost or destroyed in later years. By 1875, they had collected a variety of papers, including those of Lorenzo de Zavala, the first vice president of the Republic of Texas; those of merchant and land agent James Morgan, as well as a narrative of the Mier Expedition by Joseph D. McCutchan.3 The Galveston His- torical Society engaged in periods of activity followed by inactivity. In 1895, it reorganized as the Texas Historical Society, which aimed to acquire and preserve archival materials and artifacts relating to Texas history.

Dredge Sub Committee Meeting 10:30 to 11:30 am 1. Introduction to dredge subcommittee members and sign in sheet 2. Questions & Answers a. Port of Houston channel projects The PHA dredging of the Barbours’ Cut channel began July 25th. This is the project to widen the berths to 225’ and shift the 300’ channel 75’ north. The channel and berths will be deepened to 45’. We expect this dredging to be done by the end of the year. PHA’s approval to dredge the Bayport Channel was received from the Corps on 9/22/14. The preliminary landside work at PA 15 has been completed. Now that the preparation of the levee is complete, dredging of the Bayport Channel can begin as soon as a dredge is available. This project will be widening the channel by 100’ in the bay reach and 50’ in the land cut. Additionally, the channel and PHA berths will be deepened to 45’. We expect that dredging will begin sometime in late October. Under the current schedule, all of the new work dredging at Bayport should be complete by next May and all maintenance dredging and levee work should be done in the fall of 2015. The contractor has not submitted any information on their work plan for the Bayport dredging yet other than the proposed pipeline route. When information is available, the PHA community relations staff will work with the local communities and organizations to make them aware of the plans.
