The Tarrant County College District (TCCD) may request approval and/or a
Section 404/408 permit(s) from the United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) to modify the Trinity River levee near downtown Fort Worth, Texas,
in order to construct foundations for a new downtown Campus. The USACE is
currently conducting an Environmental Assessment for the project. The Campus
is situated on both sides of the Trinity River near downtown Fort Worth,
Texas. The Campus spans the river and is partially located in the
floodplain. The issuance of an approval or permit constitutes an undertaking
that has the potential to affect historic properties and will invoke Section
106 compliance of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.
