    The Lower Chain of Wetlands, looking northwest toward downtown Dallas, during construction in 2008. The wetlands were then at flood stage; the adjacent Trinity River is at the lower right. The new Corps of Engineers contract awarded Aug. 19 will ring the former golf course parking lot, shown at lower left, with a fence and gates. It will help keep out unauthorized vehicles, which damage the wetland/grassland habitat, and will hinder illegal dumping. The photo demonstrates the wetlands’ primary role: To provide an alternate pathway to convey floodwaters through the Great Trinity Forest. When complete, the Upper and Lower Chain of Wetlands will lower flood elevations by 4 feet in the Dallas Floodway System. (Photo credit: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers)
