title
Request for approval of a crossing and encroachment consent agreement with Texas Eastern Transmission, LP in support of Phase 1 of the Brookglen Stormwater Detention Basin project on HCFCD Unit B512-02-00 (Armand Bayou Watershed, Bond ID C-06, Project ID B512-02-00-E001, Agreement No. 2024-37, Precinct 2).

Background and Discussion:
The goal of the Brookglen Stormwater Detention Basin is to maximize the storage capacity created by the detention basin to reduce flood damages in and around the Brookglen Subdivision in the vicinity of Willow Springs Creek (Unit B112-00-00) and B112-02-00 confluence. The project consists of constructing two detention basins (North Detention Basin and South Detention Basin) in the Brookglen Subdivision. Construction of the Brookglen Stormwater Detention Basin will be funded by a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant, awarded through the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) and its Emergency Watershed Protection Pilot Program.
Expected Impact:
Upon execution of the utility agreement, the existing facilities currently in conflict will be relocated, allowing for the safe construction of the project.
Alternative Options:
The alternative would be to not take any action, where the project will not move forward, and flood risks in this area will remain the same.
