Background and Discussion:
The Ralston Acres Subdivision Drainage Improvements Project is in east Houston in Harris County Precinct 1. The purpose of the project is to upgrade the existing system to handle the 1% annual exceedance probability (AEP) event with reduced structural flooding. The project includes roadway improvement, ditch regrading, culvert and driveway replacement, outfalls, and cross culverts. Additionally, the project will design two wet bottom detention basins to mitigate increased flows resulting from the improved subdivision drainage.
Expected Impact:
This project seeks to reduce flood risks and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by alleviating property and
structural damages to the adjacent community with improved drainage which will benefits 427 persons of which, 70.02% are LMI. This will reduce the financial, physical, and emotional burden flood damages place on homeowners. It will also reduce the financial impact of recovery costs to Harris County and federal flood insurance program.
