Rep.VanDeaver files two bills about Marvin Nichols Reservoir

(AUSTIN) - Rep. Gary VanDeaver (New Boston) wants his constituents in House District 1 to know that he filed two bills on Monday, House Bill 2109 and House Bill 2114, to help block the further development and land grab of the proposed Marvin Nichols Reservoir that has been talked about and included in state water plans since 1968. The proposed reservoir would not only submerge 66,000 acres of prime timber and farmland in Northeast Texas, but it also requires twice as many acres for the reservoir’s required land-use mitigation.
