On January 10, 1997, the State of Texas received federal approval of the Coastal Management Program (CMP) (62 Federal Register pp. 1439 - 1440). Under federal law, federal agency activities and actions affecting the Texas coastal zone must be consistent with the CMP goals and policies identified in 31 TAC Chapter 26. Requests for federal consistency review were deemed administratively complete for the following project(s) during the period of April 28, 2025 to May 9, 2025. As required by federal law, the public is given an opportunity to comment on the consistency of proposed activities in the coastal zone undertaken or authorized by federal agencies. Pursuant to 31 TAC §§30.20(f), 30.30(h), and 30.40(e), the public comment period extends 30 days from the date published on the Texas General Land Office web site. The notice was published on the web site on Friday, May 19, 2025. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 18, 2025.
Federal License and Permit Activities
Applicant: Long Mott Energy, LLC
Location: The project site is located adjacent to Dow’s Union Carbide Corporation Seadrift Operations (SDO) approximately 8 miles north-northwest of Seadrift, Texas, approximately 23 miles southeast of Victoria, Texas, and approximately 11 miles west-southwest of Port Lavaca, in Calhoun County, Texas.
Site center point Latitude and Longitude: 28.528333, -96.761944
Project Description: The applicant proposes to construct a nuclear power station to be known as Long Mott Generating Station (LMGS). LMGS will construct four module Xe-100 advanced reactors. Each Xe-100 reactor is a high temperature gas-cooled reactor that produces up to 200 megawatts thermal (MWt) and in an electricity-only generating mode, produces up to 80-megawatts electric (MWe). LMGS will supply steam and electric power to SDO, replacing existing fossil-fuel power generation infrastructure. The total LMGS site footprint is approximately 1,537 acres and the four reactor modules will occupy 34.4 acres. The total land area includes ancillary facilities, such as transmission lines, steam delivery pipelines, site-specific stormwater drainage and management ponds, access roads, and areas used temporarily during construction.
Type of Application: Nuclear Regulatory Commission permit application NRC–2025–0079.
CMP Project No: 25-1176-F1
