PROPERTY. (a) Before the commission approves or implements a plan
or project to acquire property or an interest in property under
Section 51.005 for a dredge material disposal site or for an
alteration of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway that requires the
acquisition of additional property or an interest in property to
meet its responsibilities under this chapter, the commission shall
hold a public hearing to receive evidence and testimony concerning
the desirability of the proposed dredge material disposal site or
channel alteration.

and the date, time, and place of a hearing at least once a week for

circulation that is published in the county seat of each county in
which any part of a proposed dredge material disposal site or
channel alteration is located.
(c) The commission may approve the plan or project and
implement it and acquire additional property if the commission
determines, after the public hearing, that the proposed plan or
project can be accomplished without an unjustifiable waste of
publicly or privately owned natural resources or a permanent and
substantial adverse impact on the environment, wildlife, or
fisheries.
