REQUEST FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

OCTOBER 31, 2017
GREG ABBOTT, GOVERNOR OF TEXAS
JOHN SHARP, COMMISSIONER
GOVERNOR’S COMMISSION TO REBUILD TEXAS

 October 31, 2017
Dear Gov. Abbott:
As you requested, the Governor’s Commission to Rebuild Texas has compiled and
refined data on the need for federal assistance to repair and rebuild public infrastructure in the
wake of Hurricane Harvey.
The total amount of this request is $61 billion, which is based on projects identified at
local and state levels and reviewed by experts in coastal flooding and disaster mitigation. These
projects are designed not only to restore damage caused by Hurricane Harvey, but also to do so
in a way that makes the Gulf Coast more resilient and better able to withstand the effects of
future natural disasters.
The $61 billion is based on the best information available in September and October and
is likely to increase as the Commission continues to work with mayors and county judges to
identify and prioritize the needs of their communities.
Our report focuses on public infrastructure such as roads, bridges, schools, government
buildings and other public facilities, as well as projects that could mitigate the impacts of future
storms by protecting coastal infrastructure, homes, businesses, critical facilities and national
assets such as the petrochemical complex.
While this report does not represent a complete or exhaustive list of all the needs in the
affected communities, it does represent a broad range of the types of improvements necessary to
take a major step forward in restoring the Texas Gulf Coast.
Future-proofing the state’s coastal areas requires a long-term commitment and investment
to improve the resiliency of our communities and institutions. To succeed, the task needs both
the continued partnership and financial support of the federal government.
This funding request is a critical step in the effort to restore the Gulf Coast as a vibrant
and economically important hub for our state and the nation.
Sincerely,

John Sharp

 Rebuilding the Texas Gulf Coast
After Hurricane Harvey
Request for Federal Assistance
October 2017
The State of Texas is seeking additional federal assistance in rebuilding the public
infrastructure of the Texas Gulf Coast damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Harvey earlier this year.
This funding request is based on projects identified at the local and state levels and reviewed by
state experts using a consistent evaluation framework. These projects are designed not only to
restore damage caused by Hurricane Harvey, but also to do so in a way that makes the Gulf Coast
more resilient and better able to withstand the effects of future natural disasters.
Governor Greg Abbott directed the Governor’s Commission to Rebuild Texas to assemble
this package based on the best available information during September and October following the
hurricane. The Governor created the Commission by gubernatorial proclamation on September 7
to “to marshal state agency resources in order to coordinate the statewide effort to rebuild public
infrastructure damaged by Hurricane Harvey.”
The total amount of this request is $61 billion in federal appropriations above the current
expenditures by the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and anticipated
allocations for Community Development Block Grant funding for individual housing assistance
by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This level of additional federal
assistance is vital to restoring the economy of the Texas Gulf Coast and is consistent with federal
aid in past disasters such as Hurricane Katrina. The distribution of needs that forms the basis of
this request is summarized in the accompanying Figure 1 on the following page.
This level of federal assistance is vital to restoring the economy of the Texas Gulf Coast,
and allowing it to be the critical driver for the U.S. economy. Harvey was an extremely destructive
Atlantic hurricane. The storm made landfall near Rockport, Texas, on August 26, and in the
following days inundated a large swatch of the Texas coast from the Coastal Bend in the south to
the Texas/Louisiana border with torrential rain accompanied by high winds of extraordinary force
and intensity. In all, the storm directly affected more than 60 counties and left a path of damage
and destruction along 300 miles of coastline and extended 100 miles inland. Estimates place the
total damage to the state as high as $180 billion with tens of thousands of homes, businesses and
other property lost and extensive portions of the Gulf Coast economy disrupted for months.

 This package of representative projects reflects the scope and extent of Harvey’s
devastation in the state. Its focus is on delivering priority projects important in rebuilding the
public infrastructure, including roads, bridges, schools, government buildings, and other public
facilities, as well as projects designed to mitigate the impacts of future storms by dealing directly
with protecting coastal infrastructure, homes, businesses, critical facilities and national critical
assets – like the petrochemical complex – from future hurricanes and coastal flooding. Although
the identified improvements to the public infrastructure will benefit both the public and private
sectors, including individual Texans, this request does not deal directly with housing needs that
will be addressed through the Community Development Block Grant program.
Figure 1: Breakdown of Request for Assistance by Category

Defining the Needed Assistance
The projects selected to formulate this package were based on an extensive survey of
locally identified needs conducted in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in September
2017 by the Commission to Rebuild Texas. As such, they may not represent a complete or
exhaustive list of all the needs in the affected counties. Assessment of the damage and future needs
will require an ongoing effort over the next several months as data on the extent of the damage to
the public infrastructure becomes clearer. However, these projects represent a broad range of
identified needs in all of the cities and counties most directly affected by the storm, and funding
for programs to deliver these types of improvements would represent a major step forward in
restoring the Texas Gulf Coast.
The projects were identified through a multi-step process. First, city, county and school
district officials were contacted and asked through a survey instrument to identify high priority
projects. Fortunately, many cities and counties had the assistance of experts in the field of disaster
recovery and mitigation or had worked in the past on disaster mitigation plans. Information was
also gathered on U.S. Army Corps of Engineer projects in the affected areas that could play a
strategic role in mitigating the potential for future storm damage. These projects fell within one of
the four key strategies based on the framework shown in Figure 2 that values both projects that
restore the infrastructure to the condition it existed prior to Hurricane Harvey and that also work
to mitigate the risk posed by future natural disasters, a concept called “future-proofing,” which is
described in more detail below.

 The local data was compiled and refined by the Commission’s staff with the assistance of
a panel of experts selected from the state’s university systems for their expertise in the areas of
coastal flooding and disaster mitigation.

A committee of technical experts was convened to provide guidance to the Commission’s
staff on selecting specific local project proposals falling under the Rebuild Texas Framework. A
framework for selecting projects was developed to prioritize projects that maximize recovery and
reduction of future flood losses. These criteria were organized along four guiding dimensions
within which every proposal was considered:
•
•
•
•
•

Degree of Flood Impacts Avoided;
Economically Justifiable;
Technically Feasible;
Equity and Fairness; and
Environmentally Sound.

As Figure 3 shows, each dimension contains specific criteria that support the “futureproofing” goal set forth by Governor Abbott to increasing the resiliency of Texas local
communities over the long term.

 Each locally-proposed project was scored by a panel of experts using the selection criteria
in a checklist approach. Projects were checked for fulfilling each criterion. Those receiving the
most checks were considered higher priority to receive funding. Project scores were ranked on an
ordinal scale from low to high.

Figure 3: Project Selection Criteria
1) Degree of Flood Impacts Avoided
•

        The project completely

or substantially solves the problem.

•         The project provides a permanent or long‐term solution.
•         Measures that, if not taken, will have a detrimental impact on the applicant, such as potential loss of
life, loss of essential services, damage to critical facilities, or economic hardship on the community.
•         Measures that have the greatest potential impact on reducing future disaster losses relative to a
community’s population.
•         High level of urgency, where action needs to be taken quickly in order to prevent a risk from growing
worse.
2) Economically Justifiable
•

        The project is

likely to be cost effective based on physical damages prevented.

•         Long-term economic benefits of losses avoided exceed up-front costs.
•         The project shall not cost more than the anticipated value of the reduction in both direct damages and
subsequent negative impacts to the area if future floods were to occur.
3) Technically Feasible
•

        The project is

consistent with other plans, projects, initiatives, and state agency priorities.

•         Project problem/issue is clearly defined and understood.
•         The project is “shovel ready” in that it has been thoroughly evaluated, adheres to existing regulatory
standards, and has demonstrated local support.
•         The applicant community is a member, in good standing, of the NFIP.
•         The project uses design and construction methods and materials that are approved, codified,
recognized, fall under standard or accepted level of practice, or otherwise are determined to be generally
acceptable by the design and construction industry.
4) Equitable & Fair
•

        The project is

•

        A range of

Non-discriminatory in its implementation.

income levels and population sizes are protected.

•         The project provides equitable distribution of benefits geographically across impacted areas.
•         The project is critically needed or otherwise significantly maximizes public benefits, enhances public
safety, and reduces state liability.
•         The project adheres to community development housing goals
5) Environmentally Sound
•         The project will not create significant adverse environmental impacts.
•         The project, when implemented, does not increase storm-water runoff or peak flows in surrounding
areas.
•         The project includes the protection or restoration of natural resources that provide critical ecosystem
services (e.g. wetlands, riparian areas, dune systems, etc.).
•         The project considers cumulative impacts at a watershed level and does not adversely impact “downstream” communities.

 Future-Proofing the Texas Gulf Coast
Governor Abbott challenged the Commission to Rebuild Texas to not only guide the
rebuilding of the infrastructure that failed under the force of Hurricane Harvey, but to ensure
resiliency to protect taxpayers from paying again for future damage. He asked the Commission to
identify the strategies, policies, practices and types of projects that would help “future-proof” the
entire Gulf Coast, protecting our cities, our rural areas, our industrial assets, and the homes of our
fellow Texans.
In this context, “future-proofing” involves decision-makers developing capacities to learn
from disasters to become better able to anticipate and prepare for future challenges. To undertake
such future-proofing means taking long-term problems seriously, managing risks appropriately,
investing in preparedness, prevention and mitigation, reducing future vulnerability, building
resiliency into communities and institutions, and building local and state capacity to respond to
and recover from future disasters more effectively.
Meeting these requirements is not a simple or inexpensive process. It will require the work
of years, not weeks or months. It is, however, a process that, if completed successfully, will save
the nation, the state, and individual Texans billions of dollars in losses and damages from future
natural disasters, and save lives in the process.
The State of Texas, along with its local and federal partners, has done—and is doing—all
that it can to respond to the unprecedented damage caused by Hurricane Harvey and to begin the
recovery process along the Gulf Coast. For this effort to succeed, the task ahead needs both the
continued partnership and financial support of the federal government. The Governor’s
Commission to Rebuild Texas believes this funding request is a critical step in the effort to bring
the Gulf Coast back to its rightful place as a vital and economically important hub of our state and
of the nation.

Return on
Investment

The Cedar Bayou watershed has a known history of flooding, with several
noteworthy rainfall events resulting in more than $13M in damages since the
late 1970’s. The watershed has experienced several significant flooding events,
including storms in June 1979, June 1981, August 1983 (Hurricane Alicia), May 1989,
October 1994 (worst on record), June 2001 (Tropical Storm Allison), September 2008
(Hurricane Ike), April 2009, and October 2015. This dredging project will increase the
water movement capability of Cedar Bayou and decrease the areas affected when
water flow exceeds capacity.
Recent rainfall events have resulted in additional damages, with rainfall totals and
stream elevations reaching 100-year levels in parts of the watershed. Increasing
the water movement capacity of Cedar Bayou would reduce flooding in the
watershed area resulting in less damage to roadways, allow for better traffic flow for
evacuations and first responders, and fewer residences and businesses flooded.

Once completed, water will be pumped into Allen’s Creek Reservoir from the Brazos
River during periods of high streamflow. The water supply may then be available for
release back into the Brazos River to meet downstream needs during periods of low
flow. The reservoir’s primary benefit to the citizens of Texas is to provide water for
municipalities, industry, agricultural producers, and electric energy generators.

The reservoir will provide 95,000 - 100,000 acre-feet of water per year of firm water
supply -- the annual water use of over 150,000 families. The reservoir will also help
satisfy regulatory requirements to reduce groundwater pumping, which contributes
to subsidence in the Houston area. Water stored in Allen’s Creek Reservoir will be
used to meet the anticipated growth in demand for surface water in the Lower
Brazos basin due to projected population increases.

transportation for a wide range of goods and raw material. The proposed 41foot channel serves piers which have historically handled general cargo. While
container vessels have not been light-loaded, deep-draft vessels carrying bulk dry
commodities that are transiting the 41-foot portion of the GHC must arrive and
depart light-loaded. This $14,000,000 study will increase the capacity of the GHC to

Return on
Investment

Much of Texas’ coastal plains and estuaries provide prime farm and ranch land.
This funding assistance would provide financial support to allow these regionally
significant agricultural activities, which typically operate on very small margins, to
recover from the impacts of this storm.

This $200 million funding assistance package would enable these important
livestock and crop operations to return to production immediately, providing much
needed jobs and economic value to the Gulf Coast communities. This will also allow
production of important foodstock and crops and mitigate the impacts to the state’s
food supply.
