The proposed project will expand the average daily treatment capacity of the JHEC WRF from the current capacity of 4 million gallons per day (MGD) to 6 MGD within the existing site limits. The JHEC WRF is located at 5900 Magnolia Parkway, Pearland, TX 77584.
In observance of COVID-19 social distancing measures, this meeting will be held in a virtual format. To watch the meeting click here – https://youtu.be/EIIr6daZPyQ.

An application for financial assistance for the project has been filed with the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). The total estimated project cost is $75,000,000 which will be financed through increased user rates.
The EID was drafted to meet the requirements of Title 31 of the Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 375 (31 TAC §375), Subchapter E (Environmental Reviews and Determinations for TWDB CWSRF) and to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The EID was drafted in conjunction with the City and the TWDB application for funding assistance and outlines potential environmental impacts from the proposed project.
One of the purposes of this meeting is to discuss the potential environmental impacts of the project and alternatives to it. The northwest corner of the site is within the 100-year floodplain, but no construction will occur in that area of the site. The Draft EID for the project will be available for public review online at https://www.pearlandtx.gov/jhecwrf-eid for 30 days following the date of this notice. Written comments may be addressed to Cara Davis, Senior Project Manager, Engineering & Capital Projects, City of Pearland, 3519 Liberty Drive, Pearland, TX 77581 or to the TWDB at Texas Water Development Board, P.O.
