Greens Bayou Erosion Repair Project Complete
April 6, 2007
The Harris County Flood Control District has completed repairs to a stretch of Greens Bayou adjacent to Wussow Park, just south of Greenspoint Mall. The maintenance project, which repaired the bayou's eroded side slopes from Greens Road to 1,000 feet downstream, has restored the earthen channel to its original condition.
The $376,000 job corrected several rotational failures that occurred as a result of poor soil quality and heavy rains. 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 is one of many performed by the District in an effort to maintain more than 2,500 miles of drainage infrastructure in Harris County.
