The Jenkins Detention Pond project involves channel improvements and mitigation to widen Hickory Slough along the District acquired 7-acre Jenkins tract between Roy Rd. & Garden Rd.
This project consists of the design and construction new drainage ditches through the Pearland Regional Airport to provide drainage relief for CR 127 and regrading the roadside ditches along CR 130 to redirect flows towards Cowart Creek more efficiently. The project includes construction of a detention pond adjacent to Cowarts Creek to mitigate the increased flows. An MOU between the District, Brazoria County, and Pearland Regional Airport has established drainage easements necessary for the ditches and detention required.
The improvements along Joe Martin Ditch will be broken down into segments. This project includes regrading, installation of storm sewer pipe, and slope paving within the Joe Martin Ditch right-of-way from Mary’s Creek to Sleepy Hollow Dr. Substantial erosion and siltation of the existing ditch is preventing the adjacent Woodcreek Subdivision storm sewer system from properly draining causing the system to retain excessive stormwater.
The District purchased approximately 27-acres at the end of Garden Rd. adjacent to Clear Creek for this regional flood mitigation basin in Brookside Village. The first phase will consist of constructing a dry basin that will provide immediate benefit to the watershed. Future phase(s) propose to expand the facility utilizing a pump system to maximize volume capacities.
