Local Engineering Considerations

Floodplain & Drainage: Many Texas communities, including the Hitchcock area, require stormwater detention, drainage design, and floodplain compliance for new development and significant redevelopment. Drainage criteria vary by jurisdiction and may require coordination with the county flood control district.
