Dear Mr. Tunnell.
The V.B. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, is
planning a wildlife restoration project at Lewisville Lake in
Denton County, Texas. The project will include the excavation of
several wetland ponds within the Elm Fork Trinity River
floodpiain areas shown on the enclosed map. The maximum depth of
excavation will be between 24 and 36 inches. Because Holocene
alluvial sites in this setting are so deeply buried, we have
determined that the proposed project will not affect historic
properties. We request your concurrence with this determination.
