The level of detail used in the project descriptions is appropriate to the planning level focus of this study. More detailed analysis will be required for the design of particular drainage remedies prior to actual construction. Some features of the proposed remedies may change as more information is developed as part of detailed design. In addition, changes in development patterns, land use, effects on drainage from out-of-city sources, or other similar factors affecting drainage behavior may also occur. Because of such possible changes, priorities for order of construction project may well change over time. Consequently, drainage conditions in the City should be periodically reviewed to assess whether conditions have changed sufficiently to significantly affect the character or priority of construction of recommended drainage improvements as given in this CWDS. 5.2.2 Pre-Construction Requirements Prior to development of a final design and construction of a particular project, various specialized studies in addition to detailed hydraulic study will be required, including detailed survey, geotechnical investigation, right-of-way investigation and delineation. 5-6 Klotz Associates Project No. 0 I 27.008.000 January 2009 La Porte Citywide Drainage Study City of La Porte
