Questions Raised On River Project
The U S Corps advances a Trinity River impoundment called Wallisville Lake four miles up from the river mouth at Trinity Bay. It would cost about 12 million dollars and create a shallow 19 700 acre surface lake backed by a 39 000 foot dam. The project aims to curb saltwater intrusion for irrigation and add recreation while biologists warn nurseries for marine life would be destroyed. Texas Parks and Wildlife criticizes the Corps environmental statement and says essential questions remain unanswered.
