Greens Bayou Tributary Repairs Nearing Completion
April 4, 2007
The Harris County Flood Control District is completing a large rehabilitation project on a main drainage channel of the Cloverleaf Subdivision in east Harris County. Over the years, the tributary that empties into Greens Bayou just south of Interstate 10 and Market Street has experienced severe erosion at its downstream end. A $250,000 maintenance project has repaired the eroded side slopes and restored them to their original condition.
Erosion is caused by a combination of poor soil quality and the conveyance of stormwater. In Harris County, soils are often sandy and sugary in texture and can easily slough off, especially from the rapid conveyance of stormwater. Repairing eroded side slopes reduces the amount of sediment that falls into a channel and helps prevent a channel's capacity from becoming limited.
This project spanned from Greens Bayou to 100 feet upstream to Haden Road. It is one of many projects performed by the District in an effort to maintain more than 2,500 miles of drainage infrastructure in Harris County.
