Water Resources
Improvements to the levee system
would increase flood containment
capacity to control the design flood
event with a negligible increase in water
surface elevation. Levee footprint
expansion would not affect water
bodies.
Land Use
The expansion would take place
almost completely within the ROW and
would not affect urban or agricultural
lands. A minimum removal of
woodland from natural resources
management areas, less than 1 acre,
would be required.
Community Resources
In terms of socioeconomic resources,
the influx of federal funds into Hidalgo
and Cameron Counties from the levee
improvement project would have a
positive local economic impact limited
to the construction period; the impact
would represent less than 1 percent of
the annual county employment, income
and sales values. No adverse impacts to
disproportionately high minority and
low-income populations were identified
for construction activities. Moderate
utilization of public roads is required
during construction; a temporary
increase in access road use would be
required for equipment mobilization to
staging areas.
Environmental Health Issues
Estimated air emissions of five criteria
pollutants during construction represent
from 0.06 percent to 1.64 percent of the
Hidalgo and Cameron Counties annual
emissions inventory. There would be a
moderate increase in ambient noise
levels due to excavation and fill
activities. No long-term and regular
exposure is expected above noise
threshold values. A database search
identified a number of waste storage or
disposal sites in the levee system
vicinity, all located within the City of
Brownville. None of those sites would
affect, or be affected, by the levee
improvement project.

Best Management Practices and
Mitigation
Engineering design measures will be
used, including optimization of the
levee expansion alignment to avoid
impacts on wooded vegetation,
wetlands, and other natural resources.
Best management practices during
construction will include development
of a storm water pollution prevention
plan to avoid impacts to receiving
waters, and use of sediment barriers and
soil wetting to minimize erosion.

To protect vegetation, the
construction corridor may be revegetated with herbaceous or woody
vegetation, as agreed with the natural
resources management organization
where the levee expansion corridor is
located. To protect wildlife,
construction activities will be scheduled
to occur, to the extent possible, outside
the March to August bird migratory
season.
To avoid significant impacts on
cultural resources, an additional survey
of archaeological and historical
resources will be conducted following
completion of the engineering design
phase, and mitigation actions will be
adopted as recommended by the Texas
Historical Commission (THC). Measures
to avoid or minimize potential impacts
to historical or archaeological resources
will be specified in a Memorandum of
Agreement between THC and the
USIBWC.
