Dear Business Owner:

The Galveston District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is currently conducting a Coastal Texas Ecosystem Protection and Restoration Evaluation. Part of this study requires the examination of damage to commercial and industrial enterprises in the project area. One of the criteria for USACE to participate in the construction of a project is to determine if the benefits derived from the project will outweigh the cost of the project. For this study, one area of focus will be the flood damages avoided as a result of the potential flood risk management measures proposed for the Coastal Texas area. Since each business functions differently, we would like to more specifically consider the flood impacts to your equipment, inventory and operations. Responses will be used to evaluate flood impacts, and responses will not be filed or published individually.

Your participation in this survey is voluntary.

We welcome written submittals of completed surveys, or in-person completion with our staff by appointment or phone. Should you have any questions about this survey and its processing, please contact the project manager, Ms. Sharon Tirpak, P.E., at (409) 766-3136 or by e-mail at Sharon.Tirpak@USACE.ARMY.MIL.
