The Port Arthur Project is a component of the Sabine Pass to Galveston Bay Program (S2G) which includes project areas in the cities of Port Arthur (Jefferson), Freeport (Brazoria), and Orange (Orange). The objectives of the overall S2G Program include: Reducing risks to human life from storm surge; Reducing economic damages to residents, businesses, and infrastructure; Enhancing energy security by reducing storm surge risk to petrochemical facilities; and Reducing adverse physical impacts to waterways used for commercial and recreational activities. Texas Coast Regional Approach Port Arthur Project Executive Overview The Port Arthur Project, one of three S2G projects, is located in Southeast Texas, approximately 12 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, on the west side of Sabine Lake. The Project will make improvements to an existing Hurricane Flood Protection Project (HFPP) system based on the 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) Storm Event combined with 2070 Relative Seal Level Rise conditions. The improved Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) system will increase the level of performance and resiliency of the HFPP.
