• Population: The Texas Water Development Board does not prepare population
projections for specific unincorporated areas of a county. Consequently, we do not
have projections to compare with the population projections presented in the report.
However, the annual percentage increase that was used for projecting the study
area population was obtained from the Houston-Galveston Area Council of
Governments for Fort Bend County and is acceptable for facility planning. The
Board's projected annual growth rate for Fort Bend County is higher that the growth
rate used for projecting the study area population through the year 2020.
• Water Demands: Although the per capita water use estimate that is used to project
municipal water use is slightly higher than the per capita water use identified for
some of the cities near the study area, this per capita water use estimate is
acceptable for facility planning. The projected water and wastewater use for the
study area is acceptable for planning purposes.
• The environmental information and baseline assessment information provided in the
draft engineering report entitled "PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT", includes some basic background environmental and cultural
resource information and indicates those cultural resource management and
environmental issues that will likely come into play if a full environmental
assessment is done on whichever project is ultimately proposed
