Clear Creek Public Scoping Meeting
Three public scoping meetings were held for Clear Creek during the Spring of 2001.
The dates and locations were:
March 15, 2001 – Friendswood High School,

May 9, 2001 – Pearland Nelson Auditorium, 2337 North Galveston Road, Pearland, Texas
The Galveston District of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers held these public scoping meetings in order to accept oral and written comments from citizens regarding flood damage reduction solutions and environmental issues pertaining to Clear Creek.
Many citizens gave oral comments at the meetings, and postage-paid comment cards were handed out so that citizens could provide written comments by mail.
