The average width of the river is nowhere near 350 wide or 60 feet deep. Lake Ralph Hall will destroy wildlife habitats, flood Native American burial grounds and Caddo National grasslands. Providing critical water for what? Estimates are that nearly 80% of water usage goes to water people’s lawns. What this project fails to see about the fossil beds is that they are flooding the most productive and fossiliferous fossil beds. The red beds of the Ozan Formation in the North Sulphur River will be completely lost. Also, this lake will fall under Army Corp of engineers domain, which prohibits fossil collection of any type. I have watched the fossil hunting rights be removed from every single lake in north Texas. This lake will be no exception a decade or two down the road. This video is propaganda with half truths.
Good. North Texas needs to build more reservoirs in their water conservation district instead of trying to build them in East Texas. Their Marvin Nichols Reservoir on the Sulfur River ain't gonna happen due to skyrocketing costs and the realization that it could take 30 years to fill up.
Interesting... I'm familiar with area having lived in Commerce for four years, a nice area, nicer than Midland, where I have been since....
