The tracts are spread over a 2.83 km (1.76 mile) length portion of the roadway, from just north of Green Shadows Drive to north of Pine Street, in Pasadena, Texas. The tracts will be developed into detention basins, with an expected depth of impact of eight feet.

The objectives of the investigation were to locate and identify cultural materials, sites, or historic properties within the proposed impact area, and to prepare management recommendations regarding any identified resources. An intensive pedestrian field survey of the project area was conducted of the seven permit areas, and included both surface and subsurface (shovel test) examination.
