Group engages federal 'mitigation' mandate

Most of the Marvin Nichols Reservoir would be in Red River County.
Northeast Texas Water Coalition

The Northeast Texas Water Coalition, based in Mount Pleasant, is a group that includes supporters of the proposed Marvin Nichols Reservoir. The organization's president, Ty Abston, discusses how he wants to make sure that if the project goes through, that whichever areas use the water are also those areas that have to give up land to the federal "mitigation" requirement.
