Request Summary (Agenda Caption):

title

Request for approval of an interlocal agreement with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Galveston, granting an easement for the operation and maintenance of a drainage ditch located on Buffalo Bayou and Tributaries Project Barker Dam and Reservoir (Barker Reservoir Watershed, HCFCD Unit T103-00-00, Agreement No. 2026-46, Precinct 4).

Background and Discussion:

The Flood Control District has been granted easements along certain channels within the Addicks Reservoir, Barker Reservoir, and Buffalo Bayou watersheds. This easement renewal with USACE-Galveston will allow the Flood Control District to continue using the right-of-way along a reach of channel referred to by the District as T103-00-00 within the Barker Reservoir watershed for maintenance activities. The Flood Control District requests approval to apply for renewal of the easement agreement between the USACE-Galveston and the Flood Control District for access along this reach of channel.

 

Expected Impact:

This agreement will allow the Flood Control District to renew the easement and continue performing maintenance activities on the T103-00-00 channel.

 

Alternative Options:

The alternative to approving this item would be not to proceed with renewing the easement, which would result in the Flood Control District no longer having property rights to perform maintenance activities along the channel.
