0 • <br />CITY OF LA PORTE, TX <br />CRS ACTIVITY 510 <br />FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT PLAN <br />The Big Island Slough from the City of La Porte, moves water into the <br />Armand Bayou Nature Center. This 2,500-acre reserve offers a glimpse of three <br />unique ecosystems. An estuarine bayou, all -grass coastal prairie and woodlands <br />are preserved and nurtured here. This environmentally significant area has been <br />designated as one of only four Texas State Coastal Preserves, and is one of the <br />last bayous in the Houston area that is not channelized. <br />The Armand Bayou Nature Center and other natural areas help reduce <br />our flood damage by allowing floodwater to spread over a large area. This <br />reduces flood velocities and provides flood storage to reduce peak flows <br />downstream. Natural floodplains reduce wind and wave impacts, and their <br />vegetation stabilizes soils during flooding. <br />City of La Porte Page 9 of 26 <br />Planning Department, rmh June 10,1999 <br />
