The Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau) has proposed the Rincon Bayou-Nueces Wetlands Restoration and Enhancement Project to demonstrate the benefits of introducing periodic freshwater inflows into a coastal estuary by means of a wetland marsh system. The targeted areas are very near sea level in elevation and the low-flying flats are intermittently inundated by wind driven tides and storm surges and occasionally inundated by flood flows from the Nueces River when the river bank is overtopped. This flooding results in beneficial flushing and inundation of the wetland areas and serves to transport nutrients from the river delta to the bay system. The Bureau proposes to facilitate a greater frequency of these inundation events by making non- permanent modifications, i.e., notching the river bank; channelization to transport flows into the marsh area and enhance distribution of the flood flows. The applicant has requested a ten year term. Contact: Mike Rogan, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087, (512) 239-4100.
