BobRehak: Any reports on where all that fill came from? Beside violations, fines to the owners, what recourse is available just in case the site's abandoned? In other words, is the cost to return the site to its original condition more than the value of the property?
 
bigcity : 100% Where did the dirt come from. It has to be close. I don't think it's cost effective to haul dirt from somewhere far away. What about that area now and how the flood plain has changed.

So thankful they were caught. Many of us remember the horrors of Hurricane Harvey.

Sounds like someone in the city of Houston didn't get their "protection fee" check in time.

For weeks, I saw many 18 wheelers coming up the small road on west side of 59 right next to San jac River by the underpass. I go home that way any time I'm out. I was so curious about them and wondered where they were going. I know there's a gravel/sand/dirt pit somewhere along sorters McClellan on way to back pew. I guess this answers it. Never occurred to me something was happening that will make flooding worse there. Always think whatever is happening is legal. Thank goodness Bob is knowledgeable about what to question.

Here's the most obvious question. Where is the owner of this land going to dispose all this dirt?
I have an idea. They could contact NRG and find out when the next Monster Jam is coming to town.

Thank you for taking the lead in bringing issues such as this to the attention of the relevant bureaucrats. I hope the developer is required to do more than pay a fine.

Bless you for keeping us up to date, this has been very alarming for me.
Thank goodness this idiot has been stopped, who gave him permits to build. There could be another idiot waiting to try his luck next.❤️

This morning, the City of Houston raided a developer bringing fill dirt into the floodway and floodplain of the San Jacinto. See the bust caught on camera and what comes next.

Great for bird dogging this situation and keeping us advised. Was the LIDAR origin contained in your drone or satellite? Just curious..
