Analysis
Identifying and addressing drainage issues have been high priorities for the City. In order to do so and to have a consistent approach, the City Council awarded a consultant contract to Halff Associates to develop the "City-Wide Drainage Master Plan Road Map" that was completed and adopted by the City Council in August 2010. The City’s primary goal and objective of the City-Wide Drainage Master Plan Road Map was to cost-effectively manage flood or storm waters within budget constraints so that conditions do not worsen as new and infill areas are developed.
The City-Wide Drainage Master Plan for Dalworth Creek provides comprehensive, updated technical data for the management of this watershed. The information presented in the report provides planning alternatives and design concepts, and will supply the City of Grand Prairie with the necessary updated drainage information to coordinate future development and help minimize existing and potential erosion damages within the Dalworth Creek watershed. The study is in compliance with the requirements set forth in the “City-Wide Drainage Master Plan Roadmap.”
On January 25, 2013, the City Council awarded a consultant contract for the development of the FEMA CTP DFIRM MAS#3 Mapping and Drainage Master Plan Road Map for Bear, Dalworth, and Gopher/Turner Creeks (Y#0948) in the amount of $448,100 to Halff Associates, Inc. The intent of these studies was to evaluate the creeks and to obtain a better understanding of our overall drainage, flooding and erosion situations in these watersheds. This plan will be used as a tool to prioritize and give a technical basis of how best to spend resources on solving flooding, erosion and other drainage issues.
