Additional project elements, including the P518-14-01 stormwater detention basin, were added in 2017 to an existing project to design the P518-10-00 stormwater detention basin as well as channel conveyance improvements to Tributary P118-14-00.

Project Description

Bond Project C-35 constructed channel conveyance improvements and a pair of stormwater detention basins to reduce the risk of flooding by taking in excess stormwater during heavy rain events and then releasing it slowly back to the channel when the threat of flooding has passed. Construction began in summer 2020. The stormwater detention basins are estimated to hold 200 acre-feet, or approximately 65 million gallons, of stormwater that might otherwise flood homes and businesses. To improve channel conveyance on Tributary P118-14-00, two additional 12’x10’ box culverts will be installed below Little York Road.

When the stormwater detention basins are coupled with the channel conveyance improvements, currently nearing completion, the project is expected to remove the floodplain from approximately 100 structures in a 100-year storm event.

This project is part the Watershed-Wide Project Implementation Program for Halls Bayou.

Location

Both stormwater detention basins are situated along Tributary P118-14-00, located between Highway 59 and Hirsch Road. The Hopper Stormwater Detention Basin is located just north of Hopper Road and the Little York Stormwater Detention Basin is located between Little York Road and Langley Road.

Stage

This project is in the CONSTRUCTION stage. Construction on the stormwater detention basins began in summer 2020 and completed in spring 2021. Channel conveyance improvements are currently in progress and are expected to complete in 2022.
