Abstract

The passage of the National Environmental Policy Act (Public Law 91- 190) represented a major reorientation in the methods of planning and the kinds of variables which must be included and properly assessed on governmental projects which alter the face of the landscape. This environmental impact report endeavored to solve questions about the Trinity Basin with each contributor collecting specimens in order to provide an inventory of botanic or zoological species. Additionally, paleontological-archaeological sites on the Trinity River were catalogued for future investigative studies.
