FBC LID 7 Projects  Brazos River Erosion  Expanded Pump Station  Expanded Internal Detention  North Levee Enclosure  External Channel Erosion

Brazos River Erosion Est Cost: $60 MM Est Grant: $45 MM* Est LID 7: $15 MM Est Completion: 2021-22 *Approved at TX State level. FEMA approval required.

Expanded Detention & Pumpage Detention Est Cost: $5-10 MM Timing: 2020-22 Pumpage Est Cost: $5-10 MM Timing: 2019-20 Design protection to 71.5 ft *  (Lowest home foundations 73.0) ft) (Peak Harvey 73.3 ft) * True elevation **Diagram from Costello Internal Drainage System Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis

2018 Accomplishments  FEMA Brazos River Funding o Received Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) approval for up to $45 MM Federal Hazard Mitigation Grant funding for Brazos River erosion project. Major milestone, though still requires FEMA technical review and approval.  Internal Drainage System Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis (Costello) o 508 Acre-ft internal existing detention. o Additional 150 acre-ft required to protect for Harvey type event. o Additional 160,000 GPM required to protect for Harvey type event. o Purchased five 10,000 GPM gator pumps for short-term protection.  Interviewing New District Engineering Firms o Interviewing two candidate firms.  Regional Coordination o On-going discussions with FBC on joint flood protection for 90/99 intersection. o On-going discussions with City of Sugar Land on land acquisition required for Brazos River access, pump station expansion and external channel erosion control. o Coordinating with US Army Corp of Engineers on permitting and river boundaries for Brazos River project.

2019 Goals  Select new District Engineer (1 st Qtr 2019)  Hire outside General Manager (1 st Qtr 2019)  Assist with project coordination & contract negotiation o Shift work load from legal team.  Brazos River Erosion o Complete FEMA funding approval process (3 months). o Complete 30% design. o Seek passage of bill in 2019 State legislative session allowing for Design-Build project procurement. o Finalize design and plan for construction (late 2019).  Expanded Pumpage & Detention o Finalize detention approach (3 options under consideration). o Begin detention excavation (late 2019 – early 2020). o Complete 160,000 GPM pump station expansion design. o Begin pump station construction (late 2019 – early 2020).  North Levee o Evaluate options. o Seek outside financial support.

Financials  Developed Cash Flow Proforma o Forecasts required for project funds over 18 month horizon.  Strong Cash Position o $2.5 MM liquid cash balance.  Sold $12.15 MM in bonds o Provides initial funding for Brazos River project. o Provides initial funding for expanded internal detention and pumpage.  Identified low cost bond funding available through Texas Water Development Board
