Request by the Flood Control District for approval to accept from the Federal Emergency Management Agency grant funds in the amount of $9,950,000, with a required cash match of $3,318,287, for the TC Jester Stormwater Detention Basin Program (K500-23-00-E002).

Background and Discussion:
It is recommended that the HCFCD be authorized to accept the grant award funds from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Fiscal Year 2022 Pre-Disaster Mitigation (Congressionally Directed) Grant Program to fund the design engineering and construction of a stormwater detention basin (K500-23-00-E002) along the north bank of Cypress Creek (K100-00-00) southeast of the intersection of TC Jester Boulevard and Cypresswood Drive. The funding is available specifically for this project in the FY22 Federal Budget and was submitted by US Congressman Dan Crenshaw, representing the 2nd District of Texas.
The proposed K500-23-00-E002 TC Jester Stormwater Detention Basin Project will further improve riverine flood risk along Cypress Creek. The stormwater detention basin project will store up to 812 acre-feet during severe rainfall events.
Expected Impact:
Regarding community impacts, this grant will fund the TC Jester Stormwater Detention Basin Project through construction. The goal of this project is to construct stormwater detention on the main stem of Cypress Creek, which will work to reduce flooding risks and damages during heavy rain events by safely storing excess stormwater and slowly releasing it back to the creek when the threat of flooding has passed. The project works in conjunction with several channel improvements and stormwater detention projects to provide flood risk benefits to residents in the Cypress Creek Watershed.
Alternative Options:
This award is meant to fund the design engineering and construction of a stormwater detention basin (K500-23-00-E002) along the north bank of Cypress Creek (K100-00-00).
