Water and Wastewater Regional Planning Study
Four Comers Area, Fort Bend County, Texas
Dear Mr. Werner:
On behalf of our client, Fort Bend County, Earth Tech, Inc., formerly Rust Environment &
Infrastructure, is preparing a Water and Wastewater Regional Planning Study for the "Four Comers"
Area located west of the City of Houston. The Planning Area for this project, as illustrated on the
attached map, is bounded on the east by State Highway 6 and on the west by FM 1464. The northern
boundary is the proposed westward extension ofBissonnet Road, approximately 1,000 feet south
ofKeegans Bayou, while the southern boundary of the Planning Area consists of Miller Road, Oleta
Road, and McKaskle Road.
The objectives of this project include the following:
to develop alternatives for meeting water and wastewater facility needs of the Planning Area
communities (including construction of water and/or wastewater treatment plants, purchasing
water and/or wastewater treatment from adjacent municipal utility districts, etc.)
• to determine the costs associated with each alternative; and
• to identify institutional arrangements for providing water and wastewater services to the area.
At this time, Earth Tech would like to request a review of the Planning Area for available
information on sensitive species and/or natural communities which may exist within or near the
Planning Area.
