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.
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.
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.

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.

The District has adopted a new Sand Pit Policy for all sand pit’s within our jurisdiction effective December 1, 2021. Each sand pit is required to renew their discharge permit through the District on an annual basis. See the attached document below.
An Acknowledgement Form will need to be filled out and signed for all new and re-development.
A Maintenance Declaration will be required for all new and re-development. The Maintenance Declaration must be signed and notarized by the owner of the property and the original delivered to the District offices.
With the Declaration a developer will need to provide a Maintenance Plan (example below) and exhibit (survey) for the property. All three documents will be filed in the Real Property Records with Brazoria County.
