Eco-Friendly Flood Damage Reduction

Study Team

The Clear Creek Study Team is made up of representatives of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District (USACE) and the three local sponsors:  Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD), Galveston County, and Brazoria Drainage District No. 4 (BDD#4).

The Study Team meets at least monthly at the USACE offices in Galveston.  The group discusses the progress of the study, project alternatives, and the results of on-going data collection.  Federal law prohibits opening Study Team meetings to the public, but Harris County Flood Control District coordinates regular meetings of a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC).  The Clear Creek CAC is made up of local citizens, environmental leaders, and public officials.
