GLO Update 27Nov17

Posted on Nov 27th, 2017

A survey vessel was seen today Mon 27Nov17 traveling up the San Bernard hopefully on an investigative mission checking on current river conditions in regards to the GLO email below.

This email was received today 27Nov17 from Amy Nunez, GLO Director Coastal Field Operations in answer to the FOR San Bernard email sent a week before.

“Good afternoon, thank you for providing this information, we will review. As mentioned earlier, debris located below mean high water within the tidal limits of the San Bernard River will be removed. Removal will start in the lower coast and move northward. We will keep you posted, thanks, Amy”

20Nov17 email sent to Texas General Land Office:

I am webmaster for Friends of the River San Bernard. Below is a link to an article “Reporting River Hazards” that appeared on the FOR website in October.

All that information, including personal emails with exact locations was sent to GLO’s Hurricane Harvey damage website on Monday, October 30. That website asked to provide information of damage from areas affected by Hurricane Harvey. There are not GPS coordinates but you can see that most of the hazards are located between FM 2611 Churchill bridge (Section 3) south to the ICW on the lower San Bernard. GLO’s consideration would be most helpful.
