Background and Discussion:

The Flood Control District and County have previously participated in partnerships for area-wide drainage and flood control projects in the Greens Bayou watershed that are related to the project. The County has quantified the amount of detention necessary to mitigate for the impact of the Development to be 7.4 acre-feet. The Flood Control District and County previously reached an informal agreement for 4 acre-feet of mitigation for the Development to be included in the Project. Since then, they have determined a need for an additional 3.4 acre-feet of mitigation bringing the total necessary mitigation to 7.4 acre-feet.

 

The value of the storage volume within Unit P500-06-00 basin is $28,948.86 per acre foot.  Therefore, the total cost for the detention volume needed as mitigation for the Development is $214,221.55.

 

Expected Impact:

This will provide the necessary mitigation required for the newly developed Castlewood and Highland Subdivision.

 

Alternative Options:

The existing storm sewer system going into Greens Bayou is currently at its limit until the Flood Control District provides the 7.4 acre-feet determined necessary to mitigate this impact. If the ILA is not approved, the Connorvale Development will have downstream adverse impacts.
