SWG-2013-00020 - Fort Bend County Drainage District - Fort Bend County

Published June 6, 2013
Expiration date: 7/9/2013

Full Public Notice   Project Plans

The applicant proposes to perform drainage improvements to an existing, channelized waterway to transport water away from the new Fort Bend Courthouse Annex Complex.  To do so, approximately 2,800 feet of Rabbs Bayou will be widened and improved for drainage.  The project will involve three phases.  Utilizing earth-moving equipment, the applicant is proposing to re-contour and widen a 500-foot segment south of Hillcrest Drive and an approximate 600-foot segment north of Golfview Drive.  Due to existing site conditions, approximately 1,600 linear feet of the middle portion of the waterway will be re-routed to the east approximately 250 feet to avoid existing infrastructure.  To offset unavoidable impacts, the applicant has designed instream habitat structures to increase its quality and function.  Those features include a cross vane, plunge pool and riffle area.
