Background and Discussion:
The project is located in the northeast Harris County to the east of FM 2100 and south of FM 1960. It is located in the Cedar Bayou watershed. The Forest Manor subdivision consists of roadside ditches and drains to HCFCD channel Q134-00-00. The proposed improvements are to regrade roadside ditches, install storm sewer beneath ditches and construct a detention pond near the outfall at Q134-00-00 that will be part of the HCFCD regional detention in the area. This amendment is required for design changes to the underground storm system and cross culverts.
Expected Impact:
This project seeks to reduce flood risk and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in the community. This amendment is a step in the process to reduce the financial, physical, and emotional burden flood damage places on homeowners and will reduce the financial impact of recovery costs to the Forest Manor subdivision homeowners, Harris County, and FEMA. 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 to project schedule or staffing anticipated.
Alternative Options:
The County could elect to fund the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the project area will continue to experience flood risk.
