Preliminary Stormwater Management Plan
The La Porte Rail Park project includes a network of proposed stormwater detention ponds that will detain a volume of approximately 230 ac-ft of stormwater, which will then gradually release into Big Island Slough over 48 hours. This is expected to significantly improve regional drainage.
- Engineered storm water solutions
- Regional detention with 230 acre-feet of storage
- Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
- Permanent stormwater quality features

Generation Park Wet-Bottom Detention Pond
If the community desires it, an optional public park with a wet-bottom amenity pond will be developed. This regional pond is not necessary for the viability of the project's drainage system.
