Roy Rd. Detention Pond

The Roy Rd. Detention Pond project is located at the dead end of Roy Rd. adjacent to the south side of Clear Creek in Brookside Village.  It will encompass the District acquired 14.335 acre Taha tract (purchased in FY 2020) and the previously acquired 4.13 acre Loonam tract allowing for a potential total of 18.465 surface acres of detention area and will provide additional flood mitigation for that area in Brookside Village.

Mary’s Creek Channel Lining @ Pearland Pkwy.

This project has been completed

The District removed the failing rip-rap on the banks of Mary’s Creek at the bridge at Pearland Pkwy. and replaced it with concrete lining.  The concrete will last a considerably longer length of time and allow for more efficient routine maintenance at that location.

Mary’s Creek Benching

This project has been completed

The District will excavate benching areas along Mary’s Creek between FM 1128 & Magnolia Pkwy.  These areas will expand the total capacity of the creek without causing a negative downstream or upstream impact.

This project is a precursor to the West Lea Ditch Improvements job.

Orange St. Detention Pond

This project has been completed

The Orange St. Detention Pond was constructed as mitigation for the Mykawa Drainage Improvement project which included installation of a double row of 4′ x 10′ RCBs.  Completion of the Mykawa project enclosed the ditch on the west side of Mykawa from Cherry St. to Orange St.

This project is part of the Texas Water Development Board grant program 75/25 local match agreement. The District was awarded the grant to enclose the ditch with reinforced concrete boxes and to construct mitigation ponds associated with the project. The goal of these improvements is to provide flood relief to the surrounding area and localized flooding which includes the neighborhoods of Willowcrest and Willowick.

Rogers Middle School Ditch

This project has been completed

Rogers Middle School Ditch was regraded and reseeded to improve flow and functionality.

Country Place Detention Basin

This detention pond will be located on a 20.031-acre tract near Country Place ditch and Clear Creek.  This project is located in the Country Place development adjacent to both Country Place Ditch and Clear Creek.  The total area of the tract will be fully utilized for flood mitigation and will provide additional detention storage in the area.

McHard Rd. Detention Pond

This project is part of a collaborative effort with the City of Pearland

This detention facility is designed as a regional mitigation basin strictly for the benefit of the watershed with no availability to be sold or allocated for public of private projects as part of a joint project with the City of Pearland.  This area was identified in the Master Drainage Plan and the specific property was found to be available during the design process of the McHard Rd. Extension project.  It is approximately 35 acres and the volume will be maximized to provide ultimate benefits to the surrounding community.

Harrison Rogers Detention Facility

The recently dedicated Harrison Rogers Detention Facility will deepen the currently constructed detention pond on the eastern portion of the property and connect it to the proposed detention pond on the western portion.  The ponds will utilize a pumped system to fully maximize the capacity and will provide additional flood mitigation for the surrounding neighborhoods of Mimosa Acres and Willowcrest.

The ponds are located at the BDD4 offices property on either sides of the back parking lot and shop.

Cowart/Bailey Pond Weir Improvement Project

This project has been completed

The District has identified the need for improvements to the weir structures at the Bailey Detention Pond (south of Bailey; west of Wells Dr.) and the Cowart Diversion Detention Pond (between Veterans Dr. and Wells Dr.).
A drainage study of the Hood Ditch area was completed in August 2017 which identified several projects that would reduce flooding along Hood Ditch. The improvements at the Diversion Pond were included in this study and was used as a guide to scope this project.
The proposed optimization of the existing weir to Bailey Pond has also been identified by observations during rain events and the LOMR for Coward Creek Diversion improvements. These improvements will provide efficient use of the available volume in both ponds and will reduce the flooding risk to residents along the north/south streets between Bailey and CR 100.
