EPA Region 6 awarded the City of Sugar Land a $1.25 million cooperative agreement on November 1, 2026, under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) to implement stormwater infrastructure improvements along Plantation Bend Drive in Sugar Land, Texas.

The work consists of upsizing existing storm sewer and inlets, removing and replacing pavement and storm sewer appurtenances, and installing 48-inch, 36-inch, and 24-inch reinforced concrete stormwater pipe across 820 linear feet. The project also includes adjustment or replacement of sanitary sewer service lines, waterline mains, and water service lines, and abandonment or removal of existing reinforced concrete pipes. The deliverables encompass three storm sewer inlets, associated manholes, and approximately 2,000 square yards of pavement work. Expected outcomes include providing flooding relief to approximately 40 homes through a modeled 6-foot reduction in ponding depths, increased storm sewer capacity to reduce ponding duration, and improved emergency response times for police, fire, and medical services. The award contains no sub-awards. Performance runs through November 30, 2028, with all work taking place in Sugar Land, Texas.

This agreement provides funding to the city of sugar land to implement its stormwater infrastructure projects as directed in the 2024 consolidated appropriations act or as identified in an approved technical correction if one has been approved for this project.activities:the activities to be performed include the execution and implementation of a stormwater infrastructure project. Workplan activities consist of construction for upsizing storm sewer and inlets, replace pavement and storm sewer appurtenances. Subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:the anticipated deliverables include upsizing of existing storm sewer and inlets, removal and replacement of pavement and storm sewer with appurtenances, and installing 48-inch, 36-inch and 24-inch reinforced concrete stormwater pipe along plantation bend DR. The total project includes 820 linear feet of storm sewer removal and replacement, 3 storm sewer inlets, associated manholes and approximately 2,000 square yards of pavement. Additionally, there will be adjustment or replacement of sanitary sewer service lines, waterline mains, and water service lines, and abandonment or removal of some of the existing reinforced concrete pipes. The expected outcomes include providing approximately 40 homes with flooding relief, which was modeled to show a 6' reduction in ponding depths around homes in this area. The increased storm sewer capacity also reduces the length of time that the area is ponded, which improves response times by police, fire and emergency medical services to the residents in the neighborhood. This will increase the general health of the community, decreasing the likelihood of water pollution related to flood impacts to existing structures and vehicles. The intended beneficiaries include the city of sugar land, plantation bend subdivision, texas.
