Public Meeting, August 16, 2012
The Harris County Flood Control District is beginning a study to develop a consensus plan to manage flood risks in the area that experiences overflows from the Cypress Creek watershed. The objective of the study is to establish a set of policies, technical criteria and guidelines that will allow the Flood Control District to plan for and implement programs that reduce flood risks that reflect the unique hydrologic conditions in upper Cypress Creek (upstream of US 290) and the drainage areas upstream of Addicks and Barker reservoirs, including Langham Creek, Bear Creek and South Mayde Creek. Approximately 60 square miles of the upper Cypress Creek watershed originate in Waller County and drain into Harris County. The Flood Control District and Harris County have received a flood protection planning grant from the Texas Water Development Board to partially support this effort.
A Public Meeting was held on August 16, 2012 from 3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m., at the Harris County Precinct 3 Bear Creek Community Center, 3055 Bear Creek Drive, Houston, Texas 77084. A brief presentation was made by the study manager, followed by receipt of comments from the public. Written comments may also be made online, or mailed to the District at: 9900 Northwest Freeway, Houston, Texas 77092. Written comments should be received by September 30, 2012.
