2/21/26 – A person believed responsible for illegally placing massive amounts of fill in the floodway and floodplain of the San Jacinto West Fork near the intersection of Savelle and Sorters-McClellan Roads has yet to pay fines or remove the fill. He has also failed to appear at multiple hearings on the case, resulting in warrants being issued for his arrest.
New Aerial Photos Show Fill Not Yet Removed
Aerial photos taken on 2/20/26 show the site has not changed since Houston Public Works and the Houston Police raided it in December and caught several large trucks dumping their loads. Heavy equipment has been removed, but the fill has not.
Looking N at most of site. Savelle Rd. on right. Sorters in top right. Public road now gated (red circle).
Yesterday, the gate was locked. High, solid fences blocked views of the property from the roads. And a gate now blocks the entrance to a public street on the south side of the property.
Response from City About Status
District E City Council Member Fred Flickinger’s Chief of Staff Dustin Hodges responded as follows to my inquiry as to the status of enforcement actions against the owners. I have reprinted it verbatim below.
“Here’s the latest I received from Floodplain Management on the Savell Rd property.”
“We have continued to monitor the site on a weekly basis and have issued citations to Mr. Rene Martinez each week. I have not had any further communication with Mr. Martinez since our last meeting on December 19, 2025.
“Mr. Martinez has failed to appear at his scheduled arraignment dates, resulting in two warrants being issued for his arrest and three failures to appear.
“I have sent certified notices to both Mr. Martinez and the property owner of 139 Lakeside Street, whom I believe may also be involved in the illegal fill dirt activity. Additionally, the residents of 139 Lakeside Street have installed a gate across the public roadway, which has blocked our access to the site.
“We will continue our efforts to bring the property into compliance and welcome any assistance from the Houston Police Department or the City of Houston Legal Department that can be provided to help resolve this matter.“
History of Issue
I first posted about this issue in December after a citizen sent me a tip about unusual truck traffic at the site. The very next day, Houston Public Works and the Houston Police Department raided the site. They found multiple violations and caught several trucks dumping their loads.
Harris County Flood Warning System records show that this location had the highest flooding in the county during Hurricane Harvey – a whopping 27 feet above the normal water level.
Filling floodplains and floodways is dangerous because it constricts and displaces floodwaters, flooding properties somewhere else, such as Costco and Main Event on the other side of the river.
What Regulations Say
And that’s why City of Houston regulations prohibit bringing fill dirt into floodways and floodplains. Chapter 19 Div. 2 Sec. 19.34 states:
No fill may be added to a 100-year floodplain.
Any loss of floodplain-storage volume must be mitigated onsite.
Note height of fill. It’s as high as many small trees.Immediately N of filled property. Note how swampy the area is.West Fork at top of frame.Looking S toward US59 bridge over West Fork and its confluence with Spring Creek.Looking NE. Note height of fill which stretches all the way to the West Fork (left).
At this point, we do not yet know where the fill came from or whether the owner(s) have the ability to remove it. More news to follow. Harris County Appraisal District Records show that the area being filled belongs to at least two couples, who have acquired multiple properties within it.

2/20/2026 – The San Jacinto River Authority (SJRA) will hold a public input meeting at the Humble Civic Center on March 5 from 6-8 PM to discuss its Joint Reservoir Operations Study. According to Matt Barrett PE, SJRA’s Water Resources and Flood Management Division Manager, “one of the main objectives of the study is to determine if there are any benefits to pre-releases from Lake Conroe and Lake Houston.”
Timing Affected by Lake Houston Gates Engineering
SJRA first applied for a grant to study synchronizing releases from the two dams back in 2020. However, the project to add crest gates to the Lake Houston Dam hit a setback when the City could not find any contractors willing to bid on the project. The issue had to do with the potential liability associated with working on a 70-year-old concrete structure already badly in need of repair.
Old Lake Houston gates (l) are being replaced by new gates in the earthen eastern portion of the dam (not shown here), so that Lake Houston releases can keep up with what Lake Conroe Gates (r) released during Harvey – 79,000 CFS.
With the crest-gate proposal dead, the City went to Plan B. They are now studying tainter gates for the earthen eastern portion of the dam.
Gates like Conroe’s will now go in the bottom portion of the image above.
The second study recently reached a milestone. Engineering is now 30% complete. That’s widely regarded as the point where a project becomes real enough to make valid estimates about feasibility, costs, timelines and more.
Said Barrett, “We wanted to make sure we understood the future condition at Lake Houston before we pulled the trigger on our analysis.”
Main Objective of Joint Operations Study
Now that engineers have a better idea of what the new gates on Lake Houston’s Dam can do, it’s possible to see whether any benefits accrue from trying to synchronize pre-releases with Lake Conroe. A pre-release from Lake Conroe only makes sense when storms reach there first, i.e., from the north. A pre-release from Conroe when a storm approaches from the south could doubly flood the Lake Houston Area.
The major goal of this study is to determine how effective pre-releases really are. Barrett must also ensure pre-releases don’t negatively impact water supply.
Second Objective: Flow-Forecasting Tool
The study will also develop a flow-forecasting tool for Lake Houston. Barrett says it will help provide more information on anticipated volumes of stormwater coming into Lake Houston during storm events. “We will look at the entire basin,” he said, “to predict flows. So, that could be a very helpful tool.”
Results Will Inform Lake Houston Gate-Operations Policy
Barrett added, “Our intention was originally to develop the gate operations policy for Lake Houston – for the new gates that they’re looking to install. But that’s now being done as part of their gates project. So, in this study, we’re just supporting them with relevant data that comes out of our study. We’ll support development of their gate policy. But it will not be dictated by this project.”
“The study will also consider the travel time of water between Lake Conroe and Lake Houston, a factor that’s crucial in evaluation of pre-releases,” said Barrett. That’s crucial to understand if coordination of pre-releases is necessary.
Benefit Area
The study will potentially benefit the area between Lake Conroe and Lake Houston as well as the people around each lake.
Will pre-releases lower flood risk? “That’s what we want to find out,” said Barrett.
“I hope whatever the results are that they’ll be trusted. And that people will accept what the engineering says, whichever direction it happens to go,” said Barrett.
“Pre-release has had a lot of interest over the years,” said Barrett. “So, I think it’s good for us to answer the question once and for all. Is it effective and is it something that provides benefits?”
There’s a well-established body of work showing that coordinating operations across multiple reservoirs can produce measurable flood-mitigation benefits. However, hydrology, travel times, and downstream constraints must align.
The big win is usually shaving peak flow by avoiding “release stacking” (upstream releases arriving downstream at the same time as local inflows, i.e., from the East Fork or Spring and Cypress Creeks).
Other engineers in other watersheds have seen flood-mitigation benefits when their studies identified operating rules that:
Prevented release “coincidence” – We must avoid upstream releases arriving at the same time as peak local inflows from other uncontrolled tributaries
Used forecasts intelligently – Pre-release only works when forecast confidence and downstream capacity justify it
Make-or-break technical questions for the San Jacinto Watershed will likely include:
Travel time for water between Lake Conroe and Lake Houston and how that changes with different base flows.
Downstream constraints such as local rainfall in the Lake Houston watershed
Forecast confidence and decision triggers – When will forecasts be reliable enough to justify pre-release without wasting water supply or making flooding worse.
What will the study optimize for? Peak flood stage at specific gages? Total damages? Avoiding emergency spillway use? Protecting evacuation routes? Something else?
Bring your questions to the Civic Center. The engineers will have a presentation at 6:30 but be available to talk before and after that.

2/19/26 – Texas 2036 and the American Flood Coalition hosted an informative seminar on 2/17/26. It emphasized lessons learned from other states that help ensure flood resilience. One of the dominant themes of the day was the need for watershed-wide flood solutions. Without watershed-wide solutions, upstream communities can create the conditions of their own future flooding while putting downstream communities on an expensive flood-mitigation treadmill.
About the Sponsors
The mission of Texas 2036 is to enable Texans to make policy decisions through accessible data, long-term planning and statewide engagement. Its goal is to make Texas the best place to live and work. 2036 refers to Texas’ upcoming bicentennial year.
The American Flood Coalition (AFC) is a bipartisan, member-driven coalition working at all levels of government to scale innovative solutions to the country’s toughest flood-adaptation challenges.
A Watershed-Based Approach to Flooding
Dr. Ruth Akintoye kicked off the first presentation with a reminder that the new Texas State Flood Plan is organized along watershed boundaries. And not just sub-watersheds, but entire river basins. That’s because floodwater does not respect jurisdictional boundaries.
On left: map showing the 15 river basins in Texas. On right, diagram of how rain can fall in one part of a watershed and flood other parts where it did not even rain.Watersheds are large areas that drain to single points.
“This requires communities to collaborate regionally and also to coordinate with the state,” said Akintoya.
Akintoya gave a shout-out to more than 50 Texans for their leadership on flooding issues and securing more than $4 billion to fund flood and water projects across the state. She singled out Congressman Dan Crenshaw by name.

As a group, they’re trying to bring a 360-degree view of flooding to everyone in the state. “Texas is already a leader in how states approach flood resilience,” said Akintoya. “Yet we all know that resilience is not static and it never fully gets checked off.”
Benefits of a Watershed-Wide Approach
Throughout the seminar, speakers kept referring to the benefits of a watershed-wide approach to flood resilience. They include:
Comprehensive solutions where the pieces work better together
Saving money through various techniques
Better flood prediction
Increased coordination when pursuing funding from partners at various levels of government.
High-level benefits of a watershed wide flood-mitigation approach
Florida’s Always-Ready Long-Range Plan
Former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, Chris Sprowls, amplified those thoughts. He talked about the passage of Florida’s landmark “Always Ready” legislation. AFC called it “the nation’s most comprehensive state-level flood resilience and adaptation initiative.”
The initiative positioned Florida as a leader in preparing communities for rising flood risks. The Florida Plan looks 30 years into the future. Sprowls talked about similarities between Texas and Florida. Namely, both are hubs for domestic migration.
“People are coming to find a better life for their families and a pathway to prosperity. But the downside of that is that we have to plan further into the future,” said Sprowls.
“In Florida,” said Sprowls, “we think about water from a watershed perspective.” In the past, “we weren’t doing the planning and making the investments really needed to keep our communities safe.”
New Texas Flood Plan Based on River-Basin-Wide Approach
Former executive director of the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), Jeff walker, talked about the river-basin-wide approach in the first Texas State Flood Plan. The total cost of recommendations was $51 billion. “But to give some perspective, the losses associated with Hurricane Harvey were over $125 billion. That’s from one storm,” he said.
One of the first things Texas learned, said Walker, was that “a large, large majority of the flood maps were out of date.”
“The FEMA maps did not give a full picture of the risk or pinpoint mitigation measures,” he added.”Except for the larger metropolitan areas, most cities and counties do not have a good picture of flood risks. As you can imagine, many cities need technical assistance to help them identify such risk.”
Even worse, Walker said, “Many entities cannot access funds because they do not have a good plan for how to use them. And there is not a good mechanism for flood funding at the city level – especially small cities – because they do not have a source of [matching] funds for such projects.”
Walker believes one of the biggest impacts of the State Flood Plan is that state, local, and watershed-level districts are finally engaging with one another about projects. “It’s not happening in little silos anymore,” he said. He believes that “gives one dollar the power of two.”
“There are more than 1,200 flood managers in Texas, and some of them hold 3 or 4 hats.”
Jeff Walker, Former Exec. Dir., TWDB
He referred to mayors and city managers responsible for flood projects “they don’t know how to do.” A river-basin-wide flood-control district would put that expertise at their disposal.
Fast Growth Argues For Wider Outlook
Florida’s Sprowls fielded many of the questions during Q&A. Several questions addressed fast growth. “It’s really important to fold vulnerabilities into future development plans,” he said. “As population grows and economic development booms in new areas, you need to understand how risk scales relevant to that development. And you can make smart choices to mitigate that risk.”
Texas State Rep. Dennis Paul sponsored such a bill in 2025 to expand Harris County Flood Control District’s geographic scope, but it never made it out of the Natural Resources Committee. Rep. Paul reportedly plans to introduce it again in 2027.
As awareness grows about the benefits of flood-control districts that cover entire river basins, he may have better luck next time. It’s important. The state flood plan shows that the San Jacinto Basin (Region 6) has the largest flood-mitigation needs in the state…by a wide margin.
From Jeff Walker’s presentation. San Jacinto needs (Region 6 in center) approach $8 billion.
