https://communityimpact.com/houston/the-woodlands/development/2023/05/02/proposed-spring-creek-dam-costs-reduced-to-179m/ "In the revised calculations, the height of the Birch Creek dam will reduced by 10 feet, the spillway will be reduced by 5 feet, and the inundation area will be reduced by almost 300 acres from original estimates. Walnut Creek's height will be reduced by 12 feet, the spillway by 6 feet, and the inundation area by 500 acres, he said. These changes will raise the BCR for Birch Creek from 0.45 to 2.03 and Walnut Creek from 0.29 to 1.88, according to Barrett. "By reducing the size of the dams, we saved costs there," Barrett said. "We also reduced the land we inundated, which means less land that we need to acquire." Barrett said the more difficult problem to solve will include working with developers currently building on dam sites. A proposed residential development is slated to build on 300 acres within the inundation area on Birch Creek. At Walnut Creek, a solar farm has already begun construction on 100 acres of panels in the inundation area."

On Interstate 10, the area that is now Marq*E Entertainment Center, a Walmart, and some other stuff, there used to be a huge-looking industrial plant of some sort in the late 1970s! It was downsized (partially demolished) in other shots (1989 and 1995) and completely gone by 2002 (with Marq*E to the south, the clearing of the lot and further development happened later). Cooper Cameron relating to the Former Cameron Iron Works Facility located at 1000 Silber Road in Houston, Harris County, Texas. For comparison, this is what it looks like now. Obviously this used to be something huge, but what was it?
