Projects

Fleetwood Detention

Excavate a 4-acre basin south of Washington and east of IH-10 adjacent to Ditch 100 to provide additional detention and flood relief for the Blossom Subdivision and surrounding area.

Green Pond Detention Enhancements

Raise and rock the eastern 24,000-ft detention levee.  Construct a hardened emergency spillway between the existing spillway at Green Pond Gully and the pipeline corridor (approximately 3,300 L.F.) to protect the east end of the levee from failure, while providing all-weather access and a controlled overflow without failure.

Wellington Detention Basin

Excavate 4-acre basin adjacent to Ditch 100/121 confluence on property donated to DD6 in the past for drainage improvements which will provide additional detention and flood relief.

White’s Ranch Outfalls

Construct four saltwater barrier outfall structures at White’s Ranch (near the GIWW and downstream from the existing structures), and demolish the existing, non-functioning structures.  Rock existing mud roads for access to the structures.  This will provide critical all-weather access to the structures, better drainage, and reduce maintenance dredging of the outfalls, as well as protect freshwater marshes from saltwater intrusion.
