HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT TO BEGIN NEXT PHASE OF SURVEYING EFFORT
Apr 4th, 2014
Next week, the Harris County Flood Control District, through its consultant, Brooks & Sparks, Inc., and their surveyors West Belt Surveying, Inc., will start the next phase of its surveying effort within Flood Control District right-of-way along the stretch of Buffalo Bayou between Dairy Ashford Road and N. Kirkwood Road. Surveying crews will be on Flood Control District Flood Control District right-of-way during this effort.
This is a continuation of surveying that started in December 2013, but was temporarily suspended in January 2014 due to the lack of identifying leaves on the trees during the winter. The work effort remains the same:
• Cataloging individual trees (height, crown diameter and condition)
• Cataloging notable understory, grasses and flowering plants
• Locating and identifying trails (paved and unpaved) and fences
The survey effort is being led by a surveyor with academic and professional experience in forestry and will be coordinated with the Flood Control District’s urban foresters. Timing of the survey may be influenced by weather.
Update on Initial Surveying Work:
In the initial phase of the surveying effort (Dec. 8, 2013 through Jan. 24, 2014), approximately 8 acres of topography and vegetation were surveyed in Flood Control District right-of-way on Buffalo Bayou between N. Eldridge Parkway and Dairy Ashford Road. The Flood Control District's urban forestry staff reviewed data collected to ensure fulfillment of the scope of work and worked with the consultant to provide guidance and suggestions for the continuation of the survey effort.
Goal of Surveying Effort:
By understanding the survey data collected, the Flood Control District will be able to better define how to manage multipurpose usage of its land resources, including forest preservation and enhancement, public recreation uses, and flood risk reduction strategies.
If specific flood damage reduction projects are identified in the future, the Flood Control District will conduct additional environmental investigations and public outreach before proceeding. This surveying effort is limited to data gathering and is not associated with any imminent construction.
