Public Notices

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.

There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and wetlands and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains and wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains and wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.

Written comments can be submitted to the GLO at the following address:
Texas General Land Office
Community Development & Revitalization (CDR) Division
PO Box 12873, Austin TX 78711-2873
(512) 475-5051
ATTN: David Camarena, Director of Environmental Oversight

A full description of the project may also be reviewed from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M at the address above and at: (https://www.hcfcd.org/Activity/Projects/Cypress-Creek/TC-Jester-Stormwater-Detention-Basins). Comments may also be submitted via email at env.reviews@recovery.texas.gov.

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Texas General Land Office’s Community Development & Revitalization (CDR) Division. All comments received by February 26, 2026 will be considered by the GLO prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.
