re-Hurricane Ike: 5 Years Later Conference
Hurricane Ike: 5 Years Later Conference Save the Date: September 24-25,
2013 Registration opens June 1!
The SSPEED Center has identified areas below 5 feet elevation as high risk
and those below 25 foot as moderate risk to storm surge inundation. Most of the
communities in West Bayshore lie below 25 feet msl. Given the size of the
affected population in this area, the SSPEED Center is proposing that it be
protected by a structural levee system. The Center has examined a series of
possible levee alignments, including pocket levees built by large land-owners, a
bay front levee, a levee along SH-146 and various hybrids of these alternatives.
Preliminary research results indicate that the most feasible structure will
be a levee along SH-146 accompanied by pocket levees, built by private
landowners. The levee would connect natural 25 foot elevations near the Houston
Ship Channel and the Texas City Dike effectively protecting the properties and
critical facilities and infrastructure west of SH-146. However, moveable
barriers would need to be placed at Clear Lake and highway underpasses.
Furthermore, this proposal leaves waterfront properties and communities east of
SH- 146 vulnerable; however, it maintains the possibility of waterfront
recreation and other environmental and natural coastal features.

rice dike proposes to take some of the highest

DIKE WOULD BE BUILT, where it will make our homes and land east of SH
146 riprap, for the high dollar homes west of SH

Riprap—also
known as rip rap, rubble, shot rock, rock armour or Rip-rap—is rock or other
material used to armor shorelines, streambeds, bridge abutments, ...
see page 11 of 16, where the rice dike simply draws our bayside communities
of San Leon, Bacliff, and Bayview, out of the picture for good, to save the high
dollar homes west of SH 146, and then develops our homes and property into a
water fun, recreational, water front, for the rich and famous. ...

RICE DIKE PROPOSAL, the demise of San Leon, Bacliff,
and Bayview
Hurricane Ike: 5 Years Later Conference Save the Date: September 24-25,
2013 Registration opens June 1!
Howdy Friends and Neighbors of
Bayside Communities of San Leon, Bacliff, and Bayview.
I wish to inform you all, that the
Rice Dike is still on the table.
THIS is nothing more than a tool
to flush out the poor and middle class in the unincorporated areas east of hwy
146. the developers have wanted to get this done for some time, to build more
million dollar water front homes and incorporate those million dollar people
into our homes and neighborhoods where we have lived all of our life. Kind of
like Kemah after Hurricane Ike, condemn them as uninhabitable, then resell them
to the highest bidder for redevelopment $$$
Just say not to the rice dike.
The Rice Dike is not about saving
our communities from another Hurricane Ike, the Rice Dike is a LAND
GRAB.
Call your local and
state government officials and representatives and tell them NO TO THE RICE
DIKE.
Take no prisoners on this one,
it’s about our homesteads friends.
PLEASE HELP STOP THE RICE DIKE,
AND VOTE FOR THE TEXAS A.M. IKE DIKE, if you vote for anything at
all !
SAVE OUR HOMES AND SHORES, AND
VOTE NO ON THE RICE DIKE !
I kindly wish to tell the rest of the story of the proposed RICE DIKE, and
what it will do...
RICE DIKE PROPOSAL WOULD DESTROY GALVESTON BAY BAYSHORE COMMUNITIES
TO FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS IN THE BAYSHORE COMMUNITIES
THIS proposed RICE dike proposal, if approved in it’s entirety, would kill
our Bay shore communities as we know it. Your property values would tank to
zero, and you would eventually be forced out of your home. what the port of
Houston and industries there from plan to do with this Rice dike, is to make the
entire surrounding properties around the Galveston Bay complex a larger petro
chemical complex, and cargo port, thus dredging more toxins for more GLIT
islands to be built lining the ship channel filled with dredge toxins, for the
next hurricane to bury our Bay shore communities, because the RICE DIKE, in it’s
entirety, would literally wall us out of any Hurricane protective zone. What the
Rice Dike does, it hangs me and my neighbors out to drown in 25 feet of water
and toxic GLIT island Mud, and what is left will be used for “waterfront
recreation and other environmental and natural coastal features”. This Rice dike
proposal would take some of the highest elevated land around Galveston Bay and
Real Estate there from, and turn it all into a marshland after the next big one.
PLEASE SAY KNOW TO THE RICE DIKE, AND SAY YES TO THE IKE DIKE BY TEXAS A.M.

is this what you want for our bayside communities of San Leon, Bacliff, and
Bayview ???
and then after the storm, the looters always come, in all sizes, shapes,
and forms $$$
Preparing for the Next Big One, and I am not talking Hurricane.
some folks are always preparing for the next big one, and it’s not about
preparing to _protect_ you from the storm, but they are preparing on how to take
your land after the storm. just my opinion from the writings on the walls.

13 Undercover
Controversial real estate deals in Kemah
Wednesday, February 09, 2011
KEMAH, TX (KTRK) -- 13 Undercover is asking the tough questions as the FBI
gets a growing number of complaints about what's going on in the town of Kemah.
13 Undercover is back on the hurricane trail.
We've been exposing possible public corruption, waste and fraud. This time,
it's real estate deals in Kemah.
From Galveston Bay, SkyEye 13 heads toward Kemah.
This is Houston's playground, and we're here to show you some of the
millions of dollars in property the mayor of Kemah already personally owns.
