Will Lake Fastrill flood historic sites?
JACK LAWRENCE Alto

Are there unique historical sites that would be flooded out if Fastrill Reservoir is built?

I know La Salle's grave is around Alto somewhere, but since he followed Indian trails in much of his exploration, would there be an Indian village site or Indian graveyards along U.S. Highway 21 near the Neches?

Could Fastrill Lake be built north of El Camino Real and the Highway 21 bridge and train trestle?

I've heard there was an alternate site just like that under consideration at one time.

I've always believed environmental impact statements should address issues like this. Incidentally, Westwood Shores in Trinity has not been too successful in terms of real estate development.
