which will focus on developing an array

of structural (channel modification,

bypass channel, bridge alteration, levee,

detention basin, etc). components from

which detailed alternative plans can be

developed. Nonstructural alternatives

will be developed where possible.

The local sponsors for the project are

Galveston County, Harris County Flood

Control District, and Brazoria County

Drainage District No. 4.
