Chocolate Bayou Salt Water Barrier Report

A recent Gulf Coast Water Authority document outlines plans to raise the Chocolate Bayou Salt Water Barrier by 2.5 feet. In the opinion of our HOA this will flood a portion of our bayou frontage community property. Bayou Timbers residents also raise a concern for stagnant water, mosquito breeding grounds, and potential odor, as well as impact on the aquatic life of flounder and “protected” alligator gar.

They are building a dam which is 2.5 ft. higher and will trap approximately 93 acres of water which will most likely effect our community not to mention endangered alligator gar and the baby flounder that winter in our bayou. There is a meeting planned soon where we can ask our concerns.

For your further information, we have posted a link here to access the letter.
