The Hurricane Beryl Debris Removal project is scheduled to begin on Monday, June 23. In May, LID 15 awarded the debris removal contract to Looks Great Services of MS. Their contract time is limited to 60 days, so all Hurricane Beryl debris removal will be complete in August. Debris removal will start at the northern, upstream end of Alcorn Bayou and the contractor will work downstream towards the LID 15 pump station and the Brazos River. After Alcorn Bayou, the contractor will move to Steep Bank Creek, Snake Slough, and the Avalon at Hagerson Road. Storm debris may be temporarily stockpiled near public roads during the recovery project, and residents should remain aware of construction traffic when work crews are present.
Earlier this year, LID 15 was awarded an Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). NRCS recently approved additional grant funding for LID 15, so the District will receive more than $200,000 in reimbursements that will fund 75% of the total project cost. LID 15 thanks the residents of Riverstone for their patience and support during this final phase of Hurricane Beryl recovery.
