Background and Discussion:

To mitigate flooding issues within the Sierra Ranch and Stonefield Terrace Sec 3 subdivision, it is proposed to increase the capacity of the existing storm sewer system within the subdivision up to the outfall channel, upgrading existing inlets, providing additional inlets to take in the overland flow through the streets as well as providing additional surface detention to provide relief to the overloaded trunk sewer. The proposed improvements will minimize the risk of structural flooding in the subdivision and reduce ponding within the roadways during a NOAA Atlas 14, 10 and 100-year storm event.

 

Expected Impact:

This project seeks to reduce flooding and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in Sierra Ranch and Stonefield Terrace Sec 3 subdivision. The fiscal impact for this project will come from the 1080 Funding for the Recovery and Resiliency Division subdivision projects with the long-term goal of reducing drainage costs in the future. No impact on project schedule or cost anticipated.

 

Alternative Options:

If no action is taken, the contractor will not be accessible for support through the construction of the project.
