Background and Discussion:
This project is located at Huffmeister Road and Fallbrook Drive, Houston, TX 77065. The project drains into HCFCD Unit No. E133-00-00. The scope and proposed improvements include providing stormwater detention storage to reduce flooding for subdivisions which drain into E133-00-00 and E133-01-00.
