The Texas Waster Development Board Executive Administrator Kevin Patteson issued a final recommendation for resolving the Marvin Nichols Reservoir conflict. Region C, consisting of the Dallas Metroplex, and Region D have been in a conflict for several years regarding whether or not the reservoir should be built in Region D, giving Region C access to 80 percent of the water for its use. The Marvin Nichols Reservoir would take up 70,000 acres. The additional impact would be the mitigation land which is estimated to be between another 100,000 to 150,000 acres.
