Eastern Drainage Channel Erosion Control Work

Fulshear MUD 1 has worked with our neighboring district, Fulshear
MUD 2, on design of an erosion rehabilitation project for the drainage
channel that runs along the eastern boundary of the district and
immediately adjacent to the cul-de-sac on Trickle Creek Court. We
also have worked to secure federal funding for this project pursuant
to a grant from the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

The contractor for this project mobilized on September 8th and began
the work which, weather permitting, is estimated to take approximately
6 months to complete. The main construction access will be from the
northeast through Fulshear MUD 2 (Fulshear Run) via the Longhorn Trail
cul de sac. As a part of this project, the channel bottom will be
raised and the banks will be restored by placement of rock rip rap,
select fill, and 60-inch reinforced concrete pipes. The contractor
will also install certain features to slow the flow of water before
the channel outfalls into Fulshear Creek to help minimize erosion
along Fulshear Creek.
Please note that during the final stages of construction, the contractor
will need to perform some minor work on the bank of Fulshear MUD 1’s
side of the channel. Access for that portion of the work will be through
Trickle Creek Court. We have asked the contractor to notify nearby
residents before that portion of the work begins. We also have reminded
the contractor of their obligation to follow City of Fulshear’s
construction ordinance under which no work is allowed on Sundays, unless
needed and approved by the City.
In order to ensure the contractor’s and residents’ safety, it is
imperative to stay clear of the area until the erosion control work is
completed, and all barriers are removed.
If you have any questions about the erosion control project, please contact
