Environmental statement, Wallisville Lake, Trinity River, Texas

The project provides for salinity control, navigation, water supply, recreation, and fish and wildlife enhancement in Chambers and Liberty Counties, Texas. The project consists of a low dam, a navigation channel and lock, recreational areas, and the various ancillary facilities needed for operation and minor bend easings in the channel. The reduction of salt-water habitat has an adverse effect on the fishery resources in upper Trinity Bay consisting of a loss of 7,200 acres of estuarine nursery area. Construction of the project will destroy some archeological sites and subject others to inundation.
