GALVESTON, Texas — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Galveston District (SWG) will be holding a rescheduled public open house soliciting information for its Addicks and Barker Reservoirs Master Plan (MP) revision on August 19, 2024.
Due to impacts of Hurricane Beryl, the initial public open house for information on the MP was canceled. The rescheduled open house will be held at:
Trini Mendenhall Community Center
1414 Wirt Road
Houston, TX 77055
From 4 to 6 p.m.
SWG personnel will provide attendees with the existing Addicks and Barker MP content, process, and general schedule. They will also be on hand to answer questions from the public regarding the master plan.
Comments sent during the original public comment period will still be accepted. The 30-day public comment period will open again on August 19, 2024, and end on September 18, 2024. Comments can be submitted in writing either at the scheduled open house, or mailed to SWG at:
ATTN: David Mackintosh, Houston Project Office Chief
1011 Highway 6 South, Suite 101
Houston, TX 77077
Comments can also be emailed to: ceswg-addicksandbarkermp@usace.army.mil. The public can also call (281) 752-2600 to ask questions about the master plan revision.
SWG has begun the process to revise the 2009 Addicks and Barker Reservoirs MP, which is the document guiding the management and development of all recreational, natural, and cultural resources throughout the life of the reservoirs. The current MP—last approved in 2009—is being revised to address changes in regional land use, population, outdoor recreation trends, and USACE management policy.
Information provided at the open house can be viewed on the SWG website at: https://www.swg.usace.army.mil/Projects/Addicks-and-Barker-Master-Plan/.
