However, at a significant cost, several provisions <br /> of the last proposal remained in the master plan including the relocated truck <br /> entrance and athree-mile long, 130-foot wide, 20-foot tall sight and sound <br /> berm. The berm will be planted with native trees and shrubs to provide <br /> additional sepazation between the facility and the community. <br />1999 From the beginning, the Port of Houston Authority negotiated in good faith <br /> on an agreement with the City of Seabrook and offered several concessions. <br /> Under the last proposed agreement, the Port would provide some capital <br /> improvements for Seabrook neaz the Bayport Facility, including a fire <br /> station and a water treatment plant and the Seabrook City Council would <br /> agree to support the Bayport Project. <br />September 1999 The Corps held its scoping meeting for the EIS on the Bayport Project at the <br /> Pasadena Convention Center.
