Three Years after Sandy: Recovery by the numbers

Texas Receives Federal Funding for Repairs & Debris Removal Following the 2013 Floods

DENTON, Texas – More than $465,000 was recently awarded to the state of Texas from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for repairs to two lift stations; multiple sewer manhole covers; a city of Austin water supply pipe; and the removal of more than 40,000 cubic yards of debris in the aftermath of the 2013 Halloween flooding.

The damage from the flooding includes:

Multiple components inside the lift stations including motors, pumps, starter and control panels, a wet well and an electric generator;
60 feet of a city of Austin water supply pipe, which was washed away; and
Six sewer manholes, as well as the structure surrounding the manholes.

The Public Assistance funding totaling $326,028 pays for the repair and replacement of the components inside the lift stations and the elevation of electrical panels. It also pays for the replacement of the washed away section of the water supply pipe; repairs to the manhole covers; and mitigation measures to protect the structures against future damage. The funding awarded represents a 75 percent federal cost share.

he Public Assistance funding for debris removal totaling $139,776 represents an 80 percent federal cost share. It was made possible by FEMA’s Debris Removal Pilot Program, which offers incentives on a sliding scale for the speedy removal of disaster-related debris. To date, FEMA has obligated more than $1 million for Austin’s debris removal after the 2013 floods.

To learn more about FEMA’s Debris Removal Pilot Program visit https://www.fema.gov/alternative-procedures. FEMA awards funding for projects directly to the state of Texas; the state then forwards the grant to the eligible applicant.
