These notices shall satisfy three separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the Texas General Land Office (GLO) on behalf of the Harris County Flood Control District.

This is to give notice that GLO, under 24 CFR Part 58, has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order(s) 11988 and Executive Order 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 in Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Wetlands Protection. The activity is funded under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s Community Development Block Grant-Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) Program, GLO Contract# 24-064-000-E151 and HUD Grant ID B-18-DP-48-0002. The proposed project is located on the north side of Cypress Creek (K100-00-00) and east of Spring Gully (K131-00-00) near TC Jester Boulevard and Cypresswood Drive in northern Harris County, Texas and is within the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS) floodplain and wetlands. The extent of the FFRMS floodplain was determined using the 0.2 Percent-Annual Chance Floodplain Approach.
