Regarding the approximately 25 miles of levee wall system in Hidalgo County, the proposed alignment would be situated
on the south face of the northern U.S. International Boundary Water Commission (IBWC) levee. The proposed design
includes a reinforced concrete levee wall system to the approximate height of the existing levee with 18-foot tall steel
bollards installed on the top of the levee wall system. The project would also include a 150-foot enforcement zone on the
south/river side of the levee wall system, detection and surveillance technology that would be incorporated into the levee
wall system, automated vehicle gates, pedestrian gates, an all-weather patrol road that would run parallel to the levee
wall system, and enforcement zone lighting.
