SUBJECT:SWG-2018-00811 – Dutko Family Partnership, Ltd.; Approved Jurisdictional
Determination (AJD), Approximate 107-Acre Site, Located in La Porte, HarrisCounty,
Texas
Tracy Watson
Phase Engineering, Inc.
5524 Cornish Street
Houston, Texas 77007
Dear Ms. Watson:
This is in response to the November 5, 2018 request foran approved jurisdictional
determination (AJD), on behalf of the Dutko Family Partnership, Ltd., for an approximate
107-acre site located southeast of the McCabe Road and Texas State Highway (SH) 146
intersection in La Porte, Harris County, Texas (map enclosed).
Based on a review of the submitted information, detailed off-site data, the June 28,
2019 site visit, and current federal regulations we determined the approximate 107-acre
site contains wetlands comprising approximately 27.1 acres, four (4) tributaries comprising
approximately 2,038.7 linear feet, two (2) swales comprising approximately 616.7 linear
feet, and one (1) approximate 1,392-foot-long upland man-made drainage ditch. Wetlands
within the review area were identified using the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region
(Version 2.0) to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual which requires
under normal circumstances, a predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, wetland soils, and
sufficient hydrology at/or near the surface for adequate duration and frequency to support
this aquatic ecosystem. The Corps of Engineers regulates the placement of structures
and/or work performed in/or affecting navigable waters of the United States (U.S.) (i.e.
bulkheads, piers, etc.) under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. The Corps
also regulates the discharge of dredged and/or fill material into waters of the U.S.,
including navigable waters, under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The wetlands are
closed depressions that neither abut a paragraph (a)(1 – 3) water, nor are inundated by
flooding from an (a)(1 – 3) water in a typical year, nor are physically separated from an
(a)(1 – 3) water only by a natural berm, bank, dune, or similar natural feature, nor are
physically separated from an (a)(1 – 3) water only by an artificial dike, barrier, or similar
artificial structure. Therefore, the subject site wetlands meet the 33 CFR 328.3(b)(1) non-
adjacent wetland exclusion. The subject site tributaries are currently or were historically
characterized by ephemeral water flow resulting from precipitation, therefore, the
tributaries meet the 33 CFR 328.3(b)(3) ephemeral feature exclusion. The subject site
-2-
ditch is aconstructed, or excavated channelused to convey surface water flow. When
originally constructed, the ditch neither relocated a tributary, nor was constructed in a
tributary, nor was constructed in adjacent wetlands. Therefore, the ditch meets the 33 CFR
328.3(b)(5) ditch exclusion. As such, the discharge of dredged and/or fill material into
and/or any work in or affecting the subject site does not requires a Department of the Army
(DA) permit.
Areas of Federal Interests (federal projects, and/or work areas) may be located within
this proposed project area. Any activities in these federal interest areas would also be
subject to federal regulations under the authority of Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors
Act (aka Section 408). Section 408 makes it unlawful for anyone to alter in any manner, in
whole or in part, any work (ship channel, flood control channels, seawalls, bulkhead, jetty,
piers, etc.) built by the United States unless it is authorized by the Corps of Engineers (i.e.,
Navigation and Operations Division).
The AJD form included herein identifies the aquatic resource boundaries and/or the
jurisdictional status of aquatic resources for purposes of the Clean Water Act for this
request. This jurisdictional determination may not be valid for the Wetland Conservation
Provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. If you or your tenant are USDA
program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should discuss the
applicability of a certified wetland determination with the local USDA service center, prior
to starting work.
This letter constitutes an AJD for this subject site and is valid for 5 years from the date
of this letter unless new information warrants a revision prior to the expiration date. If you
object to this AJD, you may request an administrative appeal under Corps regulations at
33 CFR Part 331. Enclosed you will find a Notification of Appeals Process (NAP) fact
sheet and Request for Appeal (RFA) form. If you request to appeal this determination, you
must submit a completed RFA form to the Southwestern Division Office at the following
address:
Mr. Jamie Hyslop
Administrative Appeals Review Officer (CESWD-PD-O)

1100 Commerce Street, Suite 831
Dallas, Texas 75242-1317
Telephone: 469-487-7061; Fax: 469-487-7199
In order for an RFA to be accepted by the Corps, the Corps must determine that it is
complete; that it meets the criteria for appeal under 33 CFR Part 331.5, and that it has
been received by the Division Office within 60 days of the date of the NAP; noting the
letter date is considered day 1. It is not necessary to submit an RFA form to the Division
office if you do not object to the determination in this letter.

Some excluded waters, such as (b)(2) and (b)(4), may not be specifically identified on the AJD form unless a requestor specifically asks a Corps district
to do so. Corps districts may, in case-by-case instances, choose to identify some or all of these waters within the review area.

Because of the broad nature of the (b)(1) exclusion and in an effort to collect data on specific types of waters that would be covered by the (b)(1)
exclusion, four sub-categoriesof (b)(1) exclusions were administratively created for the purposes of the AJD Form. These four sub-categoriesare not
new exclusions, but are simply administrative distinctions and remain (b)(1) exclusions as defined by the NWPR.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The Brookglen Subdivision is comprised of approximately 464 residential structures.
Dating back to June 1981, during each significant rain event, there have been more
than 100 flood-related FEMA insurance claims within the subdivision. According to the
2009 Citywide Drainage Study, local storm water collection system has a three-year
level of service, which contributes to local flood risks within the project area. The 2009
study also recommended several drainage improvement projects, intended to reduce
flood risks within the Brookglen Subdivision.
The Brookglen Subdivision Drainage Improvements Project is the highest prioritized
drainage project, as ranked by the Drainage Committee at the August 13, 2018
Drainage Committee Meeting. After much coordination between City Staff and Harris
County Staff, a combination of projects have been identified to mitigate flooding within
the subdivision. Utilizing land acquired through flood-related buyouts, Harris County
Flood Control District (HCFCD) intends to construct detention basins within the
subdivision. Taking advantage of the additional storage capacity provided by the
detention ponds, the City of La Porte plans to increase the capacity of the local storm
sewer system, by increasing storm sewer pipe sizes throughout the southern half of the
subdivision. Ancillary infrastructure improvements to be constructed as part of this
project includes: replacing existing asbestos-concrete water lines with new PVC water
line; and the replacement of approximately 46,700 square yards of 6” concrete paving
throughout the project area. As separate projects, two additional detention ponds, south
of Fairmont Parkway, are also planned to be constructed to complement the
aforementioned projects.
The City of La Porte has submitted a Partnership Project Application for the Brookglen
Subdivision Drainage Improvements Project to Harris County for funding consideration.
The estimated total project cost is $11,940,009.88, including engineering, material
testing, and construction. Funding sources for this project include the City of La Porte,
Harris County, and the Texas General Land Office, with each expecting to contribute
$5,041,217.53; $2,900,023.28; $3,998,769.06, respectively (ref. Exhibit B). An inter-
local agreement has been negotiated, with Harris County, for Harris County’s
contribution of $3,998,769.06 for drainage related components associated with the
Brookglen Subdivision Drainage Improvement Project.
Benefits:
Project reduces flood risks within the Brookglen Subdivision.
Makes progress towards the implementation/construction of several projects
identified to reduce flooding within the Brookglen Subdivision.
Project addresses recommended drainage improvement identified in 2008
City-Wide Drainage Report; 2019 HCFCD Investigation of an Alternative to
Reduce Brookglen Area Flooding – Phase 3 Report.
Project identified in Hazard Mitigation Action Plan.
Funding from Harris County allows project to be fully funded sooner.
Liabilities:
City would fully fund this scope of work.
Flood risks are prolonged until project is fully funded.
The Drainage Committee is expected to discuss this item at the January 10, 2022
meeting and provide a recommendation to City Council at the time of the January 10,
2022 City Council meeting. Staff recommends entering into an Interlocal Agreement
with Harris County to receive funds for Brookglen Subdivision Drainage Improvement
Project.
ACTION REQUIRED BY CITY COUNCIL
Authorize the City Manager to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with Harris
County to receive funds for the Brookglen Subdivision Drainage Improvement
Project.
