FEDERAL BRIEFING Spring 2018 Washington, D.C. Background • The Harris County Flood Control District (District) is a special purpose district created by the Texas Legislature in 1937 in response to devastating floods that struck the region in 1929 and 1935. Harris County Commissioners Court is the governing body of the District. The District’s boundaries are coincident with Harris County, a community of more than 4.5 million that includes the City of Houston. The District’s mission, in simple terms, is to: (1) Devise flood damage reduction plans; (2) Implement the plans; and (3) Maintain the infrastructure. • Nature gave us 22 primary watersheds within the county’s 1,756 square miles, each with its own independent flooding problems. The District’s drainage and flood control infrastructure is extensive, including more than 1,500 channels totaling about 2,500 miles in length (about the distance from Los Angeles to New York); and more than 200 stormwater detention basins (9,189 acres) ranging in size (from 1 to 1,400+ acres). Nature also challenges us with flat terrain, clay soils that do not absorb water well, and an average annual rainfall of 48 inches. The flooding problems in the community are severe with over a hundred thousand homes and businesses in the identified 1% FEMA flood plain (not all flooding areas are mapped), and projects to reduce the risk are estimated to cost several billion dollars. • The District’s income is derived primarily from a dedicated ad valorem property tax. The rate is currently set at 2.831 cents per $100 valuation (the statutory limit for the District’s tax rate is 30 cents). Capital projects are funded with pay-as-you-go cash in hand, long term bonds, impact fees, as well as funds received from federal partnerships. By using these combined resources, we are able to leverage our local resources to implement more projects across Harris County. The District’s Capital Improvement Program proposed for FY2018-19 is locally funded to $60 million based upon our tax rate. • The District has just over 300 full time staff. The District obtains virtually all engineering design work for capital projects and maintenance repairs through consulting contracts, and obtains all construction work through competitive bidding. All of the District’s routine maintenance (primarily mowing) is performed through contracts with private companies. • The District’s Mission Statement is: “Provide flood damage reduction projects that work, with appropriate regard for community and natural values.” This balancing act is a continual challenge in the third most populous county in the United States, and achieving needed flood risk reduction within financial limitations is the major component of the District’s commitment to make every taxpayer dollar count.

Hurricane Harvey FEDERAL BRIEFING Spring 2018 Washington, D.C. Hurricane Harvey When Tropical Storm Allison drowned most of Harris County in 2001, it was an extraordinarily devastating flood. We knew it was not the last. Tropical rain and flooding will always be the primary natural threats to Harris County and the Gulf Coast. In late August 2017, 16 years after Allison, Hurricane Harvey set almost unimaginable new precedents of flooding and destruction in Harris County, southeast Texas, and along the Texas coast. Now, in the wake of unprecedented disaster, there is also opportunity – to apply lessons learned; to expedite the completion of active projects; to better understand and reduce flood risks through new studies and projects; to harness improvements in technology and data; to build new partnerships and strengthen old ones. Hurricane Harvey was a dramatic continuation of one of the most active periods of rainfall and flooding in recent history across Harris County. Since 2015, following a multiyear drought, Harris County residents experienced six major floods (including one just weeks before Harvey) and several minor floods or significant rainfall events. However, unlike any event that came before it, Harvey’s impacts were disastrous across nearly all of Harris County’s 22 watersheds. This pattern in recent years has understandably heightened public awareness and expectations of the work that HCFCD carries out with its Federal partners. No project will completely protect against an event like Harvey, but we are committed to further reducing the risk through the opportunities that are before us. Overview • Landfall 10:00 p.m., Friday, August 25, 2017 near Rockport, Texas as a Cat 4 hurricane (130 mph). Tracked northwest, stalled southwest of Harris County and then slowly meandered south and east of Harris County for 4 days. Ended up making 3 landfalls while meandering. • Almost the entire time, heavy rainfall occurred somewhere in Harris County. • High winds and wind-related damages did not occur in Harris County. • Storm surge was not a factor in Harris County. Rainfall • Rainfall occurred over 7 days, but flooding was a result of an extraordinarily high 4-day rainfall event of 28-44” widespread with an isolated 47.4” peak at I-45 and Clear Creek southeast Harris County (95% of the probable maximum precipitation). The peak 1-hour amount was 6.8”. • Harvey set county record rainfall amounts for all durations except for 6, 12, and 24-hour durations. Tropical Storm Allison in June 2001 still holds those records. • Harvey shattered U.S. record for 5-day rainfall average over a 2,000 square mile area (about the size of Harris County) - 43.7” (previous record 29.8” in 1940 in Louisiana). • Four-day rainfall average over the entire county was 33.7” (69% of the probable maximum precipitation) and the volume was about one trillion gallons which would fill the Astrodome 3,200 times. Impacts - Harris County • 4.7 million people impacted – Everyone! • 60,000+ persons rescued • 32,000 sheltered • 36 fatalities (5 in home or at work) • Estimated 140,000-160,000 homes/businesses flooded (TS Allison 73,000) • 300,000 vehicles flooded • 47,000+ flood insurance claims ($2.9B so far) • 15,800 Small Business Loans ($1.2B so far) • 177,600 Individual Assistance approvals ($4.8B) • Est. damage to HCFCD infrastructure $80 M • Est. total regional damage $125B (Katrina $160B, Sandy $70B) – among the costliest in U.S. history FEDERAL BRIEFING Spring 2018 Washington, D.C. Avoided Damages Where event-specific benefits have been modeled, HCFCD estimates that its Federal partnership projects prevented flooding of more than 20,000 homes during Hurricane Harvey: • • • • Brays Bayou Section 211(f) Project: 10,000 homes Sims Bayou Federal Project: 6,500 homes White Oak Bayou Section 211(f) Project: 5,500 homes Home Buyout (including FEMA-partnered): 2,300 homes HCFCD also estimates that the above projects and home buyouts have cumulatively avoided flooding of more than 35,000 homes across six major floods since 2015. Although difficult to accurately quantify, total avoided damages across Harris County during Hurricane Harvey and other recent floods certainly exceed the above totals. Federal projects in the Greens Bayou, Hunting Bayou, and Clear Creek watersheds continue to reduce flood risks as they are built. Across Harris County, local and regional HCFCD flood damage reduction projects have reduced flood risks for tens of thousands of homes over the decades. And since the 1980s, improved development and drainage regulations have reduced flood risks in new development while not increasing risks downstream. As a result, a substantial number of the hundreds of thousands of homes built in Harris County since the 1980s have been spared from flooding in recent decades. The population of Harris County has steadily risen by nearly two million people during this time.

Authorizations - WRDA The Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) supports the timely consideration and enactment of a Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) in 2018 to recognize the vital importance of water resources infrastructure to our nation’s well-being and quality of life while ensuring public safety and balancing economic and human needs with environmental and ecological considerations. The biennial passage of WRDA helps the Corps of Engineers move studies and projects forward more efficiently; as well as operate, maintain, and repair existing projects more effectively. With passage of the next WRDA, we urge Congress to ensure an open and transparent process for the development of implementation guidance by requiring consultation with non-Federal sponsors prior to public comment on any provision impacting their responsibilities and cost share. NonFederal sponsors are equal partners with the Corps of Engineers and are assuming more responsibility for the study and construction of Federal Projects. Recommended language patterned after WRRDA 2014, Section 1018 is: (3) NON-FEDERAL SPONSOR, STAKEHOLDER, AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.—Before issuing any new or revised guidance, regulations, or guidelines or any subsequent updates to those documents, the Secretary shall— (A) consult with affected non-Federal Sponsors; and then (B) publish the proposed guidelines developed in the Federal Register; and (C) provide stakeholders and the public with an opportunity to comment on the proposed guidance, regulations, or guidelines. The HCFCD also offers three specific recommendations for the next WRDA: First, clarify the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 Public Law No. 115-123 to include eligible outstanding reimbursements of the Federal cost share to the non-Federal sponsor for completion of ongoing construction projects. The HCFCD is the non-Federal sponsor and is in the lead on three Corps of Engineers’ ongoing construction projects in Harris County, Texas — Brays Bayou, Hunting Bayou, and White Oak Bayou. As specified in the project partnership agreements for each of the projects, the HCFCD must satisfactorily complete design and construction of a discrete segment at HCFCD expense before seeking reimbursement of the Federal cost share. Currently, the HCFCD has outstanding reimbursements of the Federal cost share for completed discrete segments of about $80 million, and will have an additional $35 million for ongoing construction. If the next WRDA can amend Public Law No. 115-123, the HCFCD requests modifying the following provision under Title IV, Corps of Engineers, Construction, as shown below: Provided further, that the completion of ongoing construction projects receiving funds provided under this heading shall be at full Federal expense with respect to such funds, including eligible reimbursements to the non-Federal sponsor for construction completed or ongoing as of the date of passage of the Act: If the next WRDA cannot amend Public Law No. 115-123, the HCFCD recommends that the underlined language instead be used to clarify the provision in the next appropriations act. Second, repeal Section 575 of WRDA 1996, as amended by WRDA 1999 and WRDA 2007. This provision was intended to prevent structural and nonstructural actions by non-Federal interests in watersheds of specific authorized Federal projects from adversely affecting the benefit-cost performance of the Federal projects. In practice, following the Corps’ 1997 Implementation Guidance, the benefit of Section 575 has not been significant enough to modify any of the three Recommended Plans in Harris County for which it has been analyzed. The HCFCD requests repeal of the provision to streamline the economic analysis of future projects. FEDERAL BRIEFING Spring 2018 Washington, D.C. Third, in order to improve the opportunity for a non-Federal sponsor to take the lead on the design and construction of such projects in collaboration with the Corps of Engineers, the HCFCD recommends amending Section 1014 of WRRDA 2014 entitled “Study and Construction of Water Resources Development Projects by Non-Federal Interests” to allow a non-Federal sponsor to become eligible for reimbursement for the Federal share of work if such work is later recommended by the Chief of Engineers and approved by the ASA (CW). This would allow a non-Federal sponsor to begin implementing work on the project, at their risk, prior to the study being approved, Federal appropriations, and a final agreement reached. This is particularly important in urban areas where implementation opportunities can disappear quickly and the need to be ready for the next flood event is imperative. Wording from Section 211 (e)(2)(A) of WRDA 1996 is recommended (2) SPECIAL RULES.— (A) REIMBURSEMENT OR CREDIT.—For work (including work associated with studies, planning, design, and construction) carried out by a non-Federal interest with respect to a project described in subsection (f), the Secretary shall, subject to the availability of appropriations, reimburse, without interest, the nonFederal interest an amount equal to the estimated Federal share of the cost of such work, or provide credit (depending on the request of the non-Federal interest) for the non-Federal share of such work, if such work is later recommended by the Chief of Engineers and approved by the Secretary. Appropriations FEDERAL BRIEFING Spring 2018 Washington, D.C. Emergency Appropriations Since Hurricane Harvey With 17 named storms, six major hurricanes, and two major hurricanes hitting the continental U.S. for the first time since 2005, the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season was among the most active on record. 2017 also surpassed 2005 as the costliest season on record; consecutive blows from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria took a widespread toll in August and September 2017 across the United States and the Caribbean. HCFCD thanks Congress and the Texas delegation for their efforts toward passing three supplemental appropriations measures in response to the devastating natural disasters of 2017: PL 115-56 (September 8, 2017), PL 115-72 (October 26, 2017), and PL 115-123 (February 9, 2018). These acts have paved the way for recovery and mitigation in Harris County and other areas affected by the 2017 storms and other natural disasters. The third supplemental was the most substantial to date, providing a total of $89.3 B in disaster aid as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (BBA). Several highlights from the package could assist HCFCD programs, projects, and studies: • $17.4 B to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) • $23.5 B to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Disaster Relief Fund • $28 B to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Fund • $541 M to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Program • $600 M to the Department of Commerce for Economic Development Administration grants HCFCD is particularly appreciative of the funding provided for Corps Construction ($15.055 B) and Investigations ($135 M), and the provisions associated with those funds. The following map highlights four active construction projects and one new study that HCFCD recommends as priorities for selection as the Corps’ supplemental funding is allocated. HCFCD has project and study recommendations beyond the top priorities, as well. Under Corps Construction, HCFCD recommends that the remaining work (including outstanding reimbursements) on four active construction projects in Harris County be selected for funding at full Federal expense. HCFCD estimates that it could complete its Section 211(f) local-lead projects (Brays Bayou, White Oak Bayou, and Hunting Bayou) within five years if remaining work is fully funded. The Corps would lead construction on Clear Creek, which could be completed within five to ten years if constructed at the same pace as envisioned for the HCFCD-lead projects. Continuing and completing these projects will provide immediate and substantial flood damage reduction benefits to the people of Harris County. Under Corps Investigations, HCFCD urges funding and initiating a study of the Addicks and Barker reservoirs, including watersheds upstream and downstream, under the Corps’ Section 216 authority. As Hurricane Harvey made clear, the physical, economic and environmental conditions within and around the reservoirs have drastically changed since they were built in the 1940s. A thorough study of the reservoir system, accounting for conditions today and into the future, is warranted to develop physical and operational recommendations that will improve the effectiveness of the reservoirs in reducing flood risks upstream and downstream. HCFCD has submitted Letters of Intent for this study, and is committed to providing the resources necessary to complete it in three years or fewer. While Corps Implementation Guidance and selection is underway, HCFCD is actively pursuing other funding made available through BBA. HCFCD is in the process of submitting Notices of Intent for structural and nonstructural projects that are eligible under FEMA’s grant programs, and a collective $80 M of infrastructure damages have already been submitted to NRCS and FEMA for maintenance repair assistance. HCFCD is also exploring funding opportunities through HUD and the Economic Development Administration.

Harris County Flood Control District Lead Projects Sections 203 and 204 - Water Resources Development Act of 1986, as Amended Section 1014 of the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014, entitled “Study and Construction of Water Resources Development Projects by Non-Federal Interests,” amended Sections 203 and 204 of WRDA 1986 by consolidating several non-Federal interest lead authorities in different business lines. However, Section 1014 did not affect projects with agreements in place between the Corps of Engineers and nonFederal interest on or before December 31, 2014. Project partnership agreements for Brays Bayou, White Oak Bayou, and Hunting Bayou were in place by the deadline, therefore, they will continue to be implemented under Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1996, Section 211. Section 211 - Water Resources Development Act of 1996 Section 211 allowed local sponsors to take the lead role in the planning, design, and construction of flood damage reduction projects rather than the Corps taking the lead role. The Corps provides oversight and verifies the work is done in accordance with established regulations, guidance, and requirements for Federal participation. The Federal/local sponsor cost sharing is the same as Corps lead projects. The local sponsor pays all costs in advance of Federal appropriations and is reimbursed for the Federal share provided certain conditions are satisfied. Section 211 has changed our relationship with the Corps. By taking the lead in moving the projects forward, the HCFCD and the Corps assumed new roles. Eventually, we learned to appreciate our new respective roles and perspectives. Our communications and coordination on all projects are significantly more productive. Due to our stronger partnership, we work on more projects more efficiently by sharing the workload. Subsection (f) of Section 211 designated three HCFCD projects in WRDA 1996 and an additional two were added in WRDA 2007 to demonstrate the advantages and effectiveness of non-Federal implementation. At our own financial risk, the HCFCD had the option to design and build the project in advance of plan approval by the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works and before agreements were in place. For Brays Bayou, White Oak Bayou, and Hunting Bayou, the HCFCD did begin building the projects prior to approval of the plans and execution of the project partnership agreements. Being able to begin implementation as soon as possible was critical in rapidly developing urban areas like Harris County, Texas so benefits could be realized much sooner and costs lower. In establishing the policy guidance for Section 211(f), the Corps recognized the need for periodic reimbursement as opposed to reimbursement once the entire project is complete. Under Policy Guidance Letter No. 53, the HCFCD qualified for reimbursement of the Federal share for complete and functional “discrete segments.” However, the federal funds paid to the HCFCD must be returned if the entire project is not completed. Section 1014, WRRDA 2014 did not include language that allows for periodic discrete segment reimbursement, only the complete project or separable element of the project, which is prohibitively expensive for local sponsors to build in advance of reimbursement. This was corrected by WRDA 2016 (Title I of the WIIN Act-Pub. Law 114322), Section 1127 entitled “Non-Federal Construction of Authorized Flood Damage Reduction Projects” by amending Section 204 to include the option of periodic reimbursement for discrete segments with conditions. In summary, this section says that the Corps of Engineers may authorize credits or reimbursements for discrete segments of a flood reduction project under WRDA 1986 before final completion of the project if the non-Federal interest can independently operate and maintain the segment without creating a hazard in advance of project completion. The HCFCD began general reevaluation studies for the two Section 211(f) projects added in WRDA 2007, Buffalo Bayou and Halls Bayou. After completing the “without project conditions” analysis and identifying initial components in 2011, the HCFCD chose to focus on developing comprehensive plans for each watershed. Since no agreements were executed before the Section 1014, WRRDA 2014 deadline, they are no longer Section 211 projects.

Brays Bayou Life and Health Safety Infrastructure (Compiled in 2011) 4.1 million people live and work in Harris County, Texas, and a large majority are affected directly or indirectly by the Life and Health Safety Infrastructure along Brays Bayou. A 0.2% (500-year) flood along Brays Bayou would impact: • 5 Facilities on the Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CI/KR) Support Annex of the National Response Framework (NRF) • 12 Police & Fire Stations • 25 Government Facilities • 24 Hospitals • 138 Health Clinics • 88 Pharmacies • 6 Universities • 51 Public Schools • 302 Day Care and After School Facilities • Interstate 45, a hurricane evacuation route through Houston and Harris County • State Highway 288, a major commuter route and depressed highway below ground level for much of its length crossing the Brays Bayou watershed. It has filled 3 times with stormwater since it was built. • 21 miles Major Thoroughfares • 12 miles Railroads • 3 miles Local Rail Service • 8 Electrical Substations • 60 miles Electrical Transmission Lines • 36 miles Pipelines • 18,000 Businesses • 252,131 Residents (2010 Census) • 40,000 Homes • 2,500 Commercial and Industrial Facilities The Texas Medical Center (TMC), which was unreachable by roads as a result of the rainfall in Tropical Storm Allison in 2001, is the largest patient care, teaching, and research medical center in the world. It covers more than 1,000 acres. It has 6,800 patient beds and 93,500 employees including 20,000 physicians, scientists and researchers. It hosts 160,000 daily visitors and 6 million annual patient visits with 18,000 being international patient visits. There are 40 buildings at the TMC located in a 100-year floodplain and daily economic loss during a flood is more than $30 million. Major Life safety concerns related to TMC during major flood events are: • Inability to transport patients for critical life saving care to trauma centers due to high water - Staff and physicians not being able to reach the 14 hospitals and trauma centers to provide care because of impassible streets. Many live in nearby cities and subdivisions in the Brays Bayou watershed which, too, are at risk of flooding. Loop 610, US 59 and SH 288 surround the TMC and all are subject to flooding. 3 EFLODD Ecomnm Brays Bayou Project Locations CEREGOR 3 I a l' - 2012HOLWBE . 9.5??2010 .. 1-H. - 4 mama cop I I Eyauf" #009 . 13* 2:anl .

Hunting Bayou Project Federal Funding Request Request • The HCFCD and citizens of Hunting Bayou request the Administration resume construction funding for the Hunting Bayou Flood Damage Reduction Project at $15 million per year in order to complete the project at the earliest possible date. • Since Federal reimbursements will be used to design and build future construction segments, the pace of construction will depend on the pace of Federal reimbursement. Social Justice Factors • Residents in the Hunting Bayou watershed deserve the same level of potential flood risk reduction as those who live in other parts of Harris County. • The economically disadvantaged Hunting Bayou residents struggle severely to recover from house and business flooding. • The Corps economic analysis is an important factor in prioritizing competing projects for annual Federal funding, but it is biased against economically disadvantaged communities like in Hunting Bayou. Public Safety Factor • With the Hunting Bayou project in place, flood levels would be reduced along two major regional hurricane evacuation routes through Houston that traverse Hunting Bayou, US 59 and Interstate Highway 610; and improve accessibility to the state’s busiest Level III trauma center, the LBJ County Hospital.

Addicks and Barker Reservoirs FEDERAL BRIEFING Spring 2018 Washington, D.C. Addicks and Barker Reservoirs Built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during World War II, the Addicks and Barker stormwater detention reservoirs in western Harris County have reduced flood levels downstream along Buffalo Bayou and through downtown Houston for over 70 years. Unanticipated but much appreciated benefits are the large areas of environmental preservation and the many and varied outdoor activity opportunities within the normally dry reservoirs. Hurricane Harvey was an unprecedented event for Addicks and Barker reservoirs, as it was for all of Harris County. HCFCD supports the Corps’ ongoing efforts, as well as future studies and projects, to reduce flood risks upstream and downstream of the reservoirs. New Outlet Structures for Addicks and Barker • Replace 70 year old multiple box culvert outlets due to development of voids and seepage • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers design and construction project • New gated outlet structures adjacent to existing ones (400 feet apart) • Current construction contract $73.8M; Authorized total project cost: $129.9M • Physical construction started November 2015 • Completion estimate April 2020 Operation Review of Addicks and Barker Reservoirs, Section 216 Study • Purpose is to review the operations of completed Corps projects due to changed physical, economic, or environmental conditions and propose physical or operational changes to the project, if necessary. • Follow same guidance and requirements as Corps feasibility studies • SMART Planning Principles and Procedures apply as well as no more than 3 years and 3 million dollars, and Corps District, Division, and Headquarters active on study team. • HCFCD is non-Federal Sponsor – 50% cost share (or full Federal expense under BBA provisions, if selected) • Estimated start 2018 - contingent on Federal appropriations • Potential study topics: - Determine flow path around the ends of the dams and over the emergency/auxiliary spillways - Assess the impacts of a range of controlled releases - Assess the risks of flooding in areas adjacent to the reservoirs - Reevaluate and possibly refine the reservoir operation plan - Structural measures, potentially including new Federal facilities upstream of existing reservoirs Addicks-Barker Multi-Agency Emergency Coordination Team • Organized in 2007 after Hurricane Katrina • Primary Team Members – US Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District; National Weather Service; US Geological Survey; Harris County Flood Control District; Harris County Office of Emergency Management; Fort Bend County Office of Emergency Management; City of Houston Office of Emergency Management; Texas Department of Public Safety • Developed Emergency Action Response Chart for each reservoir based on water level elevations – defines roles and responsibility of each agency • Conducts periodic table top and functional exercises for various scenarios • Working relationships developed during planning and training beneficial during actual rainfall and flood events Addicks and Barker Reservoirs US Army Corps I L, - of Engineers Addicks Barker Galveston District in: ?ls . -.

FEMA Projects FEMA Model Map Management FEDERAL BRIEFING Spring 2018 Washington, D.C. FEMA Flood Insurance Study and Maps New FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) Flood Insurance Rate Maps for Harris County, Texas and associated useful models and technical products were produced through a partnership between the Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) and FEMA with federal funding made available after Tropical Storm Allison in 2001. 144 new Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) became effective on June 18th, 2007 for the 35 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) communities in Harris County. Total project cost - $32 million; approximately an even split between FEMA and HCFCD. Go to www.hcfcd.org/FEMT or www.fema.gov for floodplain information. Since May 2015, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Hydrometeorological Design Studies Center (HDSC) has been updating precipitation frequency estimates for the state of Texas jointly funded by local, regional, state and federal agencies (HCFCD contributed $200,000). In late 2017/ early 2018, HCFCD participated in the peer review of the initial preliminary study results using about 2,000 gages across Texas for rainfall events from the early 1900s through Hurricane Harvey, including the 1994 floods and Tropical Storm Allison in June 2001. Preliminary results show the estimated 1% probability, 24hour rainfall depth increasing 3-5 inches across Harris County (currently 12-14 inches). NOAA anticipates a final release of its updated estimates in NOAA Atlas 14, Volume 11, in late 2018. HCFCD is coordinating with FEMA as this information is developed, and is poised to respond to the implications that this final information may have for the current effective FEMA FIRMs and model and map management program. Model and Map Management Description • Model and map management is a program to keep the FIRM models as accurate as possible as watershed and channel conditions change in the highly urbanized and developing Harris County. • Two ongoing tasks performed by HCFCD are: - Continuous Updates – Update the maps and models to reflect the latest Letters of Map Revision (LOMR) by working closely with FEMA during the LOMR process. - Watershed Model Updates – Regular updates on a watershed wide basis to reflect non-LOMR related changes in the watershed, new model versions, and other issues. • Benefit - Local officials and engineers will have access to the up-to-date data and models to plan future flood damage reduction projects and land developments; and prepare and submit LOMR. Progress • The HCFCD is the custodian and distributor of the hydrology and hydraulic computer models per the continuous agreement with FEMA. • Last year, all LOMRs approved by FEMA were incorporated as part of continuous updates. LOMR Delegation Delegation is a major milestone for floodplain management in rapidly developing Harris County. Since September 1, 2010 when the agreement with FEMA was executed, the HCFCD has received 157 submittals and completed 148. Go to http://www.hcfcd.org/lomrdelegation/ for the status of each project submittal. Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk Map) Program HCFCD currently has five watershed model and map update studies underway that will produce Risk MAP products. In watersheds with active Corps of Engineers partnered projects, the updates will show benefits of work completed on those projects and HCFCD regional projects by certain points in time. A sixth study, in Discovery, encompasses three relatively rural watersheds in eastern Harris County with greater development potential. At this time, HCFCD is keeping all Risk MAP studies active in close coordination with FEMA as countywide remapping efforts come into focus. FEDERAL BRIEFING Spring 2018 Washington, D.C. Addicks Watershed Study Description • Addicks Reservoir Watershed Model and Map Update study is part of the watershed model update program described above and FEMA’s new Risk MAP program. • Conventional Product – New FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps for Addicks Watershed within Harris County, Texas and associated useful models and technical products. • Risk MAP Products – Maps showing changes from effective maps, multi-frequency flood depth maps, and other products useful to local officials and the public in understanding and assessing present and future flood risks. • Total estimated project cost - $1.14 million; approximately 66% FEMA and 34% HCFCD. Progress • Cooperative Technical Partnership Agreement between HCFCD and FEMA executed in 2010. • HCFCD submitted the final models and floodplain maps to FEMA for review on July 2013. • Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps were issued July 2015. • Consultation Coordination Officer meeting with floodplain administrators held September 2015. • A public open house to present results and discuss next steps was held February 2016. • Appeal and comment period ended June 21, 2016 • Appeal resolution letters were dated February 1, 2017. • Appeals have all been resolved. The issuance of the Revised Preliminary Maps is currently on hold. Sims Bayou Watershed Study Description • Sims Watershed Model and Map Update study is part of the watershed model update program and will include the Corps of Engineers/HCFCD Sims Bayou project and local regional detention basins. • The study is divided into two phases. - Phase one is Discovery. • This Discovery Report shows flood risk areas and produced a flood risk database of the watershed.

USGS FEDERAL BRIEFING Spring 2018 Washington, D.C. USGS Funding for Streamgages USGS Groundwater and Streamflow Information Program • USGS (United States Geological Survey) operates 600 streamgages at which full or partial record discharge is collected in Texas. USGS does not have sufficient funds to continue to operate that entire network and to partner with Harris County to provide the enhancements needed to protect the lives and property of Harris County citizens and businesses. • Federal Priority Streamgages (FPS) - previously referred to as the National Streamflow Information Program - The core streamgage network required to provide a base level of national streamflow information at 100% USGS funding. If fully funded, it would cover the cost of 430 streamgages in Texas. Currently, only 156 streamgages are supported statewide. • Cooperative Matching Funds (CMF) - previously referred to as the Cooperative Water Program - Supports streamgages not fully funded by USGS or by other Federal agencies - Cost shared with 100 state and local agencies in Texas (1,450 agencies nationwide) - Legislation established a 50/50 cost share program, now it is about 74% local funding partners and 26% USGS in Texas because of insufficient Federal Appropriations to the USGS Value of USGS Streamgages • Quality and consistency in collecting, recording, analyzing, and delivering data • Free and source is neutral and credible; USGS is non-regulatory and not a resource manager • Imperative to making water supply and flood control operational decisions on our nation’s waterways and to delineate flood plains for FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps • Needed to plan and design reservoirs, detention basins, flood control channels, navigation channels, highways, aquatic habitats, etc. • Required by the National Weather Service to issue flood warnings to protect life and property Users of USGS Streamflow Data • Water supply managers, reservoir operators, flood control and emergency managers, and recreation users • Civil and environmental engineers designing water, wastewater, and transportation infrastructure Issues • Current funding to support the FPS is less than 28% of funding needed for full national implementation • Even though USGS funds to support gage operation and maintenance have increased about 15% from FY07 to FY17, local agency contributions increased about the same amount • Due to funding constraints, many local agencies cannot afford increases, therefore, the number of streamgages nationwide is decreasing • More streamgages and data are needed to make better water management and design decisions Federal Funding - Nationwide (millions) FY13 FY14 FY15 Federal Priority Streamgages $19.03 $23.32 $24.12 Cooperative Matching Funds (Total) $59.48 $59.48 $57.71 TOTAL $79.51 $82.80 $81.83 FY16 $24.69 $56.71 $81.40 Requested FY17 FY18 Need $24.69 ? $350 $59.89 ? $55 $84.58 ? $405 Congressional support needed • Increase funding to the USGS Groundwater and Streamflow Information Program at a level of $405M to restore 50/50 cost share for the jointly funded activities with localities and States (CMF) and fully fund the high priority core streamgages (FPS) nationwide.
