title

Request for approval to execute a Multi-Purpose Application for DACW64-9-25-0042 from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District, allowing temporary access along HCFCD Unit U101-18-00 within the Addicks Reservoir Watershed (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. The Flood Control District requests approval to execute a Right-of-Entry Agreement between the USACE-Galveston and the HCFCD allowing for temporary access along a reach of channel referred to by the Flood Control District as U101-18-00 within the Addicks Reservoir.

 

Expected Impact:

The Flood Control District will receive temporary permission to conduct a survey and environmental studies which will determine if the proposed new access is sufficient for allowing maintenance of the U101-18-00 channel.

 

Alternative Options:

The alternative would be not to proceed with conducting a survey and environmental studies. The Flood Control District would not have property rights to perform maintenance activities along the channel without first obtaining access through a citizen’s driveway and backyard.
