Information on Buffalo Bayou Community Plan
Stakeholder Buffalo Bayou Community Plan Survey
The Buffalo Bayou Community Plan (BBCP) is a direct response to the recently published Buffalo Bayou & Tributaries Resiliency Study Interim Report (Interim Report) by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The Interim Report highlighted a Cypress Creek Reservoir (Alternative 2) and the deepening and widening of Buffalo Bayou (Alternative 6) as two components recommended for further study, eventually leading to a Tentatively Selected Plan (TSP). A broad cross-section of interests in the community -- civic, business, and environmental -- did not embrace the Interim Report’s conclusions. The BBCP is an attempt to develop a strategy that has broad appeal and durable community support from diverse stakeholders that can assist USACE as it revises the Interim Study into a TSP, which is set for completion in Spring 2021.
The BBCP was created by Houston Stronger, a coalition of associations, non-profits, and their members concerned with Greater Houston’s flood resiliency. The BBCP relies on engineering work by BGE and includes portions from The Prairie Solution to Reducing Flooding study undertaken by the Katy Prairie Conservancy, an accredited nonprofit land trust, and Rice University’s SSPEED Center. The BBCP also relies on Harris County’s Phase I Flood Tunnel Study.
