This drainage 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.
This is a joint partnership project with the City of Pearland that will replace a full 120′ run and a partial run of RCP that has separated. Both runs will be straighten out the 30″ RCP. The District will also realign the open ditch to the south which flows into Old Mary’s Creek.
This purpose of this project is to clean out silt and repair the slopes as needed on Hickory Slough from Max Rd. to Silverlake Pkwy. The portion from Max Rd. to Cullen Blvd. will focus on the removal of silt islands and build up. Further west, from Cullen Blvd. to Silverlake Pkwy. the focus will be on slope repairs on the south side of Hickory Slough.
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.
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.
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.
