Project Description

Construction on the dry-bottom stormwater detention basin began in May 2022 and was completed in December 2022. The basin was designed to provide 20.6 acre-feet of regional stormwater storage during heavy rainfall events. Occupying approximately eight acres of land, the basin is located adjacent to the southbound feeder of I-45 (North Freeway) and Little White Oak Bayou between Riggs Road and Stokes Street.

Project Lifecycle

Every flood damage reduction project is unique. Yet each project begins and ends, with common and predictable milestones along the way. Whether a project moves forward – and how quickly – depends on many factors, including the availability of funding at each milestone, shifting community priorities for flood damage reduction, and other changing circumstances (such as the price of trees or concrete) from year to year.

Community engagement

Community engagement is an important part of the 2018 HCFCD Bond Program, and more information will be shared with the public as the project develops. To ask a question or comment on project activities, please click the button below or call 346-286-4000.
