FOCUS
Port Arthur Project – PAV04 Contract
Coastal Storm Risk Management:
A Regional Approach
Construction of a region-wide risk reduction system, along with ecosystem restoration, will improve our ability to respond to future storms and address long-term impacts of sea level
rise & land subsidence.
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 County) and Orange (Orange
County).
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.
Upper Texas Coast Regional Approach
Project Overview
USACE is partnering with Jefferson County Drainage District # 7 (DD7),
the Non-Federal Sponsor), to design and construct the Port Arthur Project.
The Federal Government is responsible for 65% of the cost and the DD7 (the Non-Federal Sponsor) is responsible for 35% of the cost.
Currently working towards obtaining Federal approval for project cost increases by mid-July 2026.
Cost increases are driven by a variety of factors including: increased scope due to updated storm modeling, labor and construction cost increases, inflation, and revised utility relocation
costs.

Key Project Features
Concrete Floodwalls
Construct 6.2 Miles of New Concrete Floodwall.
Replace existing I-Walls with new T-Walls.
Provide levee erosion protection (Stone Armoring) to shield the system against storm surge conditions.
Earthen Levees
Raise 10 miles of existing earthen levees.
Construct 4.3 miles of new earthen levee.
Provide levee erosion protection (Stone Armoring) to shield the system against storm surge conditions.
I-Wall
T-Wall
Pump Station Concrete Fronting Protection
Construct concrete fronting protection structures at 11 existing pump stations around the Port Arthur CSRM.
These structures will protect the pump stations from storm surges.
Railroad / Roadway Closure Gates
Construct 20 closure structures along roadways and rail lines that intersect the levee system perimeter..
