Q136-00-00 has a long history of flooding and has been included in previous Cedar Bayou Flood Risk Reduction Study. The preliminary engineering report (PER) is needed to determine the best use of flood mitigation along this channel, to identify the require ROW and support other large-scale flood reduction efforts in the Cedar Bayou Watershed. The preliminary engineering effort is complex and requires review of other past and ongoing efforts along Q136-00-00 and the surround area, detailed H&H modeling, right-of-way (ROW) identification and conceptual design. This court action is to allow the District to proceed with the preliminary engineering report (PER) stage for the project Q136-00-00.

This project scores in the 3rd quartile under the 2022 Prioritization Framework approved by Commissioners Court.
