Background and Discussion:
This project will provide flood damage reduction benefits to Keegans Bayou's upper and middle reaches and was the recommended project and outlined in the Keegans Bayou Watershed Planning Study.

These structures benefit due to a reduction in depth and frequency of flooding. The Flood Control District Staff, including staff augmentation will manage an engineering consultant team to execute the preliminary engineering and design stages of this projec...
