Background and Discussion: The project is located in the northeast Harris County in the Cedar Bayou watershed, east of FM 2100 and south of FM 1960. The Forest Manor subdivision consists of roadside ditches and drains into HCFCD channel Q134-00-00. The proposed improvements in the subdivision are to regrade roadside ditches, install storm sewer beneath ditches, construct driveways and driveway culverts.
