In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey hit Galveston, Harris and Brazoria counties, and Clear Creek and Dickinson Bayou flooded severely. The purpose of the study is to develop a comprehensive flood-mitigation plan, identify vulnerabilities and reduce flood risks for both watersheds, the release reads.
Representatives will accept public comments at the meetings and throughout the duration of the study. Residents who want to comment on Phase 1 of the study should do so by March 20 to be considered in Phase 2. Comments can be emailed to [email protected] or mailed to the Lower Clear Creek and Dickinson Bayou Watershed Study Community Engagement Team at 2500 Summer St., Ste. 1130, Houston, Texas 77007, per the notice.
