Approximately 400 LF of 24" corrugated metal pipe (two parallel 200 LF segments), serving as the ultimate
outfall for half of the Shady Oaks subdivision, was inspected after Hurricane Harvey. Approximately half of the
24" diameter pipe was filled with sedimentation due to severe pipe deterioration along the entire span of the lime
segment(s). Sedimentation was removed to restore full functionally. In-house crews completed the replacement
of the 400 LF of deteriorated pipe in late May.

SUMMARY
Approximately 800 linear feet of RCP pipe, ranging in size from 15" to 24", exists within the Bayside Terrance
Subdivision, which has not been properly maintained due to access issues attributed to limited access to
infrastructure, provided within a five foot utility easement. Portions of Hamilton Street and Fondren Street utilize
this system to convey stormwater to its outfall point of Galveston Bay. The system fails to function properly,
causing flooding within the adjacent portion(s) of the subdivision. A proposed drainage study would discuss
feasibility of rerouting this flows from the 800 feet of RCP, towards Bayside Dr. and utilizing the existing system
within Bayside Dr. to convey the storm water within the existing system.

SUMMARY
CivilTech Engineering prepared a drainage study, in 2006, for the reconstruction of Crestlane Street (also
referred to as Barbours Cut Boulevard) from State Highway 146 to Barbours Cut Terminal, a project length of
approximately 12,700 linear feet or 2.4 miles.
Drainage improvements were evaluated along Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) Unit F210-00-00
(Bob's Gully) to improve outfall drainage from Barbours Cut Blvd. Flooding problems exist(ed) between
Barbours Cut Blvd and West Main Street due to insufficient channel capacity and a flow restriction at the
culvert crossing at East Main Street.
The impact analysis concluded that the additional flow capacity provided through East Main
Street would increase downstream water surface elevations. It is noted in the study that "the increases in the
water surface elevations are maintained within the existing channel banks. Therefore, no adverse impacts would
occur along HCFC Unit F210-00-00 in terms of out of bank flooding."
HCFCD Unit F210-00-00 is under the jurisdiction of the City of Morgan's Point, Texas, and the HCFCD. The
HCFCD has a 60-foot drainage easement along the channel from Bayridge Street to East Main Street. The
City of Morgan's Point has indicated that HCFC Unit F210-00-00 has channel slope failures and erosion
problems which have jeopardized private property and utilities. They have expressed their concerns to the
Harris County Flood Control District and have requested a channel maintenance project to correct the channel
erosion problems.

SUMMARY
The segment of 6th St from W. Madison St to W. Main St is considered part of Old La Porte, which was
generally noted in the City -Wide Drainage Study as not having sufficient storm sewer capacity due to
undersized storm sewer, undersized storm inlets, and/or not enough storm inlets. RPS-Klotz provided an analysis
of the existing storm sewer system to identify problem areas within the project limits and provide
recommendations for improvements on 6th St and surrounding areas.
The results proved that 6th St from W. Madison St to W. Main St has significant ponding in storm events as low
as 5-year event. Recommendations for improvements were provided, however, areas would still experience
ponding depths of approximate 6" to 2'.
Thus, additional efforts are required to understand the root cause of flooding in the area and to recommend
improvements to reduce flood risk within the area. To accomplish this goal requires an understanding of the
limitations and deficiencies of the drainage systems that serve the region, hence the need to proceed with further
evaluation of the most downstream section of the storm sewer system to determine the impact that
improvements may have on the area upstream, which has been analyzed previously, and allow for objective
prioritization of improvement recommendations in the form of Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects that are
both functionally efficient and financially effective.

The City retained Civil Concepts in 2017 to perform a "Topographic Survey" of the project area to include the
topography of the intersections of the described area and the S 8th Street centerline right-of-way including
ditches, drainage structures, and pavement from W Main to W D Street.
Topographic survey determined the drainage flow and capacity of the drainage structures in the study area. Civil
Concepts provided recommendations and plan views for improvements in the study area.
Proposed improvements include enclosing the existing roadside ditches and installing approximately 634 linear
feet of 48-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP); 1,264 linear feet of 42-inch RCP; 484 linear feet 36-inch RCP;
and 144 linear feet of 30" RCP; to provide conveyance capacity for at least a 5-year rain event.

SUMMARY
Littler Cedar Bayou exists as a narrow, winding, earthen channel between SH 146 and West Barbours Cut
Bouldvard. Downstream of SH 146, parts of the channel have been straightened and improved with concrete
slope paving. Upstream of W Barbours Cut Bouldvard, the bayou exists as a relatively straight earthen channel,
resembling an oversized roadside ditch.
Improvements to Little Cedar Bayou, from Hwy 146 to Madison, have either been completed or are currently
awarded for construction. Improvements include, but are not limited to, excavating and disposing off- site soil as
required for the new channel alignment. Clearing and grubbing, demolition of existing structures, erosion control,
and site restoration for approximately 5,533 LF of channel. Approximately 4,680 LF of channel remains
unimproved upstream, with those improvements slated to be included within Phase III. HCFCD has collected
survey data on this most upstream section. in effort to prepared construction drawings to provide direction for
routine maintenance and clearing overgrowth, trees, and obstructions; minor erosion control and slope
stabilization; and desilting. Those maintenance operations are projected to begin late 4th quarter 2018 or early
1st quarter 2019 (calendar year).

This approximate 1,400 LF segment of the Harris County Flood Control's B 106-06-00 Channel serves as
drainage conveyance for a portion of the northwestern portion of Lomax. The existing upstream end of the
channel is open channel for approximately 1,0001mear feet, then converges to a small diameter pipe, causing a
restriction. There are repetitive loss properties adjacent to the restriction. Improvements consist of replacing the
existing undersized pipe with approximately 630 LF of'8x3' and 6'3' box culverts and installation of inlets.
Construction is substantially complete.

SUMMARY
Harris County Flood Control District's (HCFCD) F101-06-00 Channel system conveys storm water runoff from
the Lomax area and ultimately outfalls into Lower San Jacinto Bay. The downstream section of the channel has
been improved to ultimate capacity. An existing pipeline corridor, containing several pipelines located at depths
ranging from approximately 2' to 18', cross the channel, limiting the depth of potential channel improvements.
Moderate/heavy rain events, compounded with backwater conditions from this section of the channel,
contributes to wide -spread flooding within the Lomax Area.
Harris County Flood Control staff has informed Public Works staff that survey data has been collected on this
most upstream section. Construction drawings are being prepared in-house, by HCFCD staff, to provide
direction on clearing overgrowth, trees, and obstructions; minor erosion control and slope stabilization; and
desalting. Construction is projected to begin late 4th quarter 2018 or early 1st quarter 2019 (calendar year).
A high level delineation by KSA found the watershed to be about 310 acres, versus the 583 acres used in the
1987 masterplan. Unit F101-06-00 has a capacity of less than 200 cfs, currently, before it rises out of its banks.
The following options were included within the preliminary draft of the feasibility study prepared by KSA:
1) Full excavation of existing 60-ft ROW to construct a concrete channel that will maximize capacity of current
ROW, providing approximately 700 cfs, without deepening the channel.
2) Construct concrete channel from Valley View to the existing drop structure; widen the channel beyond the
ROW to convey the 100-year event (1,326 cfs) by maintaining existing flow line of the channel.
3) Construct concrete channel from Valley View to the pipeline corridor and deepen the existing grass lined
channel, by one foot, from the pipeline corridor to the existing drop structure.

SUMMARY
Klotz Associates, Inc. provided a report in 2011 analyzing flooding in the Battleground Estates, which indicated
that flows within segments of the 1`101 Channel, north of N `P' Street, rise to a level creating capacity
limitations which produce frequent out of banks occurrences. The unimproved upstream channel flows into two
forty-two inch (42") corrugated metal pipes (CMP), which feed into the improved two 8' x 10' reinforced
concrete boxes downstream. LJA Engineering, Inc. provided Engineering Design Services for the recommended
improvements of removing the two upstream forty-two inch (42") corrugated metal pipes and extending the dual
8' x 10' reinforced concrete boxes across N `P' Street. Construction contract has been awarded and is
expected to begin by the first week of June.

A proposed conditions hydraulic model was developed during the preliminary design for the N P Street Culvert
Improvement Project, which recommended replacing the upstream portion of the existing composite structure at
N P Street, with structures matching the downstream portion of the composite structure. That project allows for
full utilization of the structure's capacity, as well as protect the channel during rainfall events that produce higher
amounts of runoff. Per the recommendations of the Phase 1 report, a more detailed Phase 2 engineering
analysis of segments F101-00-00 and 1`101-08-00, that are upstream of N P Street, as well as an evaluation of
the roadside ditch drainage conduits within Battleground Estates should be performed to identify necessary
improvements to address structural flooding within the area. The more detailed study would evaluate the impacts
of culverts located upstream of N P Street, along F-101-00-00 resulting from the 10-, 50-, and 100-year rain
event. Channel improvements, and increasing culvert sizes to provide sufficient capacity within culverts along
the roadside ditches are the anticipated mitigation efforts.

SUMMARY
NO
The proposed storm sewer improvements include re -sloping Coupland Drive to drain towards inlets located
throughout the subdivision. The inlets will drain into proposed storm sewer ranging in size from 24" to 30" RCP.
This storm sewer will then flow beneath the existing roadside ditch along L Street to a combined outfall with the
existing roadside ditch to Big Island Slough. The proposed storm sewer beneath the existing ditch on L Street
will be 42" RCP and the combined outfall will need to be a 60" RCP. These improvements will result in no net
fill within the Big Island Slough 100-year floodplain. The proposed storm sewer was sized for the 5 year storm
event, per the City of La Porte drainage criteria.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The B112-02-00 channel segment of Willow Springs Bayou is a concrete lined trapezoidal
channel that flows from east to west, where it merges with the B112-00-00 Channel (Willow
Springs Bayou). Flooding in the Brookglen subdivision is due to backwater from B112-00-00
backing up into B112-02-00, per the 2009 Fairmont Park East & Brookglen Drainage Study,
prepared by Klotz Associates. The B112-02-00 has about 200-acres of contributing drainage
area and the channel is approximately 2,500 feet in length between B112-00-00 and Canada
Rd. Willow Springs Bayou is a concrete line trapezoidal channel with a 4' deep low flow section.
Upstream of the confluence, the low flow section is 12' wide with 16' benches and concrete
riprap side slopes from Deer Park, upstream of Spencer Hwy., to the confluence with B112-02-
00, or 1,200-feet upstream. Downstream of the confluence the low flow section expands to 20'
wide with 14' benches and concrete riprap side slopes between B112-02-00 and about 920'
downstream where the channel transitions to an earthen trapezoidal section with a 30' bottom
width and 4H:1 V side slopes. The Willow Springs Bayou continues south of Fairmont Pkwy, into
Pasadena and ultimately converges into Armand Bayou.
The City of La Porte is working closely with the City of Pasadena in the review of the pending
Pasadena Convention Center Drainage & Detention Evaluation. RPS was recently retained by
the City of Pasadena to perform a drainage and detention evaluation study for the ultimate
development of the 198-acre Pasadena Convention Center (PCC site) along B112-00-00
(Willow Springs Bayou) between W. Fairmont Parkway and Red Bluff Road. There are two
underlying objectives of this study: 1) provide recommendations for drainage improvements to
the City of Pasadena in order to mitigate the adverse impact resulting from PCC development
and 2) determine the benefit of adding 100 ac-ft of volume to the basin, 200 ac-ft of total
volume, for the City of La Porte to decrease the risk of flooding along Willow Springs Bayou
between Spencer Hwy and W. Fairmont Parkway.
As indicated in the City of La Porte's 2009 Citywide Drainage Study, mitigation of increased
runoff due to drainage improvements within the City may be required to prevent adverse
impacts upon downstream locations, beyond the City's boundaries. That being said, contingent
upon the potential upstream benefits of the proposed additional 100 ac-ft of volume along
Willow Springs Bayou, recommendations presented within the 2009 Citywide Drainage Study
and the 2009 Fairmont Park East & Brookglen Drainage Study will need to be re-evaluated.
Proposed mitigations actions include:
1) B112-00-00 - Channel Improvements, Mitigation Pond, Diversion Pond.
2) B112-02-00 - Regional Detention Pond.
3) Brookglen subdivision - Sheet flow relief swales.
4) Brookglen subdivision - Replace existing storm sewer system to meet current design
standards (contain the 5-year rain event and convey 100-year event).
5) Brookglen subdivision - Outfall improvements.

SUMMARY
NO
The existing Citywide Drainage Study was undertaken in 2009 to identify, develop, and recommend
improvements to address drainage problems and lessen flooding impacts across the City. However, detailed
storm sewer network analysis was not included in this planning level study. Advancements in technology allow
for: better evaluation of the city-wide drainage system performance through integrated system analysis of
channels, storm sewer network, and overland sheet flow; and prioritization of projected improvements.
