In the December 15, 2009 Peregrine Hurricane Ike update, the process for obtaining permits to rebuild the infrastructure for Peregrine Townhomes was discussed. In addition to the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, we now have approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to install the waste water treatment facility.
With these two approvals in hand, we are finalizing the remaining governmental petitions to obtain the required building permits for the construction of the waste water treatment Facility, the public water system well, the repairs to the bulkhead barrier, the rebuild the swimming pool area and replacement of all of the driveways and landscaping.
We have completed the engineering and design of all the above mentioned projects, but our petition must still be reviewed and approved by the County Health Department, the County permitting office, the General Land Office of the State of Texas, and the Brazoria County Commissioners Court. Both the Corps of Engineers and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality had to approve the sewer design first before these other agencies would consider the request.
Once these projects are approved and permitted, the various contractors associated with construction above projects will begin work simultaneously, and we should be in position to give you an estimate of the Peregrine re-opening date.
December 15, 2009
After 9 months of discussion the US. Army, Corps of Engineers, we received on December 10, 2009, their final approval for the new Peregrine sewer location on the property. Once this approval trickles down through the red tape of the State of Texas and Brazoria County officials (sewer design already approved by all), a permit for construction will be issued by the County. Once the permits are issued, construction of the sewer, the water well, the bulkhead surrounding the property, the buildings damaged or destroyed and the pool reconstruction will begin immediately (contracts for each already in place).
