Background and Discussion:

The project is located within the South Mayde Creek Watershed in western Harris County. The Roland Road subdivision consists of mainly roadside ditches and has been subjected to several flooding events. The scope and proposed improvements include surface collection, ditch grading and storm sewer conveyance of the drainage along Roland Road. The existing HCFCD U201-09-00 channel will be extended from Porter Road to Katy Hockley Cutoff Road to provide reduction in inundation of the subdivision.

 

Expected Impact:

This project seeks to reduce flood risk and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in the community. This amendment is a step in the process to reduce the financial, physical, and emotional burden flood damage places on homeowners and will reduce the financial impact of recovery costs to the Roland Road and Related Infrastructure project area and surrounding homeowners, Harris County, and FEMA. The fiscal impact for this project will come from the 1080 Funding for the Recovery and Resiliency Division subdivision projects with the long-term goal of reducing drainage costs in the future. No impact on project schedule or staffing anticipated.

 

 

Alternative Options:

The County could elect to approve the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the project may not be constructed as scoped.
