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.

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 the Forest Manor community. No impact on project schedule or cost anticipated.

Alternative Options: The County could elect to fund the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the project may not be constructed. As a result, the community may continue to experience flood risk.
