Background and Discussion:

The purpose of the Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) was to provide reduced risk for structural flooding within the Goose Creek Watershed, specifically along O119-00-00 and O200-00-00. The aim of this project is to evaluate the drainage conditions and ensure that there is no adverse impact for the ultimate drainage condition, after both the Flood Control District and Harris County Engineering Department projects have been completed compared with existing conditions. The purpose of this transmittal is to receive approval of the preliminary engineering report.

 

Expected Impact:

The acceptance of this PER will allow the Flood Control District to move into the engineering stage of this project.

 

Alternative Options:

The alternative should this PER not be approved is that the Flood Control District will not be able to proceed to the design phase of our project lifecycle.
