Background and Discussion:

The system is to be activated if the forecast is for 6" in 6 hour storm or 9" in 9 hour storm which will draw down the pond level elevation 3-ft in 48 hours resulting in 247 acre-feet additional pond capacity.
Expected Impact:
This agreement will allow the firm to conduct field and laboratory testing on soil, concrete, asphalt and various other construction materials to ensure the material's compliance with Harris County Engineering Department's adopted standards and specifications as required by state law.
