Environmental Impact Study of the Elm Fork Region of the Trinity River.
Abstract
A flood-control plan encompassing levee construction and channelization along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River from Lewisville Dam to the confluence with the West Fork would result in the destruction of archeological sites, paleontological sites, deterioration of water quality, and encouragement of increased human activity resulting in overgrazing, etc. The best alternative to the plan would be to place the floodplain area in public trust as part of the environmental corridor system as proposed in the North Central Texas Council of Governments (Regional Open Space Plan, 1972).
