MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN THE OHIO AND MISSOURI RIVERS Location.-The Mississippi River rises above Lake Itasca, Minn., and, from that lake, flows in a southerly direction about 2,440 miles, and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The portion included in this report embraces the 195-mile section known as the middle Mississippi, between the tributary Ohio and Missouri Rivers, about 1,078 to 1,273 miles from the Gulf. 1113 flit3 1114 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Previous projects.-The original project for the improvement of the Mississippi River between the Ohio and Missouri Rivers was recommended by a Board of Engineers in a report, dated April 13, 1872, and concurred in by the Chief of Engineers. For further i etails see page 1879 of the Annual Report for 1915 and page 1014 of -he Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.---This provides for obtaining and maintaining a inimum channel depth of not less than 9 feet, a minimum width of ot less than 300 feet at low water, with additional width in bends rom the mouth of the Ohio River (about 1,078 miles from the Gulf) o the northern boundary of the city of St. Louis, 191 miles; thence 200 feet wide, with additional width in bends to the mouth of the Mis- souri River, 4 miles; all to be obtained by regulating works and dredging: First, by regulating works, for closing sloughs and sec- ondary channels, and narrowing the river; by building new banks where the natural width is excessive and protecting new and old banks from erosion where necessary to secure permanency. Second, by dredging or other temporary expedients to maintain channels of project dimensions. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1934, is $43,000,000, with $1,300,000 for annual maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents -------- 3, 1896 Project for regulating works adopted in 1881 Annual Report, 1881, p. 1536.

Recommended mnodifications of project.--Under date of March 15, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modifications of the exist- ing project to approve a comprehensive plan for development of the Mississippi River at Chain of Rocks so as to provide for construction of a lateral canal at an estimated first cost to the United States of RIVERS AND HARBORS--ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1115 approximately $10,290,000, with annual maintenance and operation; costs of $70,000, subject to such modification as the Chief of Engi- neers may find necessary when the project is undertaken; and to au- thorize the relocation of the river channel and reclamation of the area in Sawyer Bend for airport; park, recreational, and similar pur- poses at a cost to local interests of approximately $17,555,000; pro- vided that any modification of the present river channel required by the civic development be deferred until completion of the lateral canal in the interest of navigation and that the river diversion work con- nected with such civic development be under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers in order to insure that the interests of interstate and foreign commerce be properly protected; and further provided that local interests hold and save the United States free from any clains for damages that might be incurred due to the construction, maintenance, or operation of such civic development or any part thereof (H. Doc. No. 231, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.--The water terminal and transfer facilities of the district are fully described as of December 31, 1918, in House Document No. 652, Sixty-sixth Congress, second session, pages 1211- 1239. Additional data for terminal facilities are also contained in Transportation Series No. 2, 1929, Transportation in the Mississippi and-Ohio Valleys. Operations and results during fiscal year.-River stages were favor- able to construction work, which was carried on extensively by con- tract and by hired labor with Government plant during the fall of 1938; river conditions were generally unfavorable during the spring of 1939 and work was carried on only intermittently. Regulating works were maintained and project dimensions of channel were se- cured by dredging. The district's standard specifications for con- struction work were used.

Regular funds-New work.--Sixteen dikes, totaling 5,220 feet in length, were built by hired labor with Government plant, at a cost of $194,159.31. Two revetments, totaling 1,410 feet in length, con- sisting of 328 squares of mattress and 781 squares of paving, were built by hired labor with Government plant at a cost of $27,211.84. A total of 49,732 cubic yards of rock was removed by United States dip- per dredge at a cost of $63,557.07. Forty-eight dikes, totaling 31,850 feet in length, were built under contract at a cost of $718,323.88. Three revetments, totaling x,145 feet in length, consisting of 3,585 squares of mattress and 2,168 squares of paving, were built under con- tract at a cost of $92,201.57. In addition to completed work there was under construction, by contract, one revetment, to total about 2,855 linear feet. The total cost of new work with regular funds was $1,095,453.67. Maintenance.-Dikes and revetments were repaired at a cost of $286,456.99. The required 9-foot channel was maintained, except for the short periods needed to move a dredge to the shoal, by five United States hydraulic dredges. During the year 53 shoals developed, of which 49 were dredged once, 2 were dredged twice, 1 was dredged 3 times, and 1 was dredged 4 times. There were 7,971,257 cubic yards of sand and gravel removed by these dredges from channels through 53 bars; 556,673 cubic yards of material was removed in outside-the- channel dredging, and 128,630 cubic yards of material was removed in miscellaneous snagging operations by dipper and hydraulic dredges. The channels dredged had a combined length of 25.7 miles, an average width of 330 feet, and an average gain in depth of 6 feet. The total cost of dredging was $570,386.02, all charged to maintenance. Hydrographic surveys were made covering 270 miles of river, cost- ing $96,882.32. .Model studies were made .ataterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Miss., of the following river reaches: Boston Bar, Dogtooth Bend, Swiftsure, and Chain of Rocks, at a total cost of $24,218.60. Other miscellaneous costs were: Snagging, $51,119.31; aids to navigation, $456.82; and gages, $8,479.03, all charged to main- tenance. The total cost of all maintenance was $1,037,999.09. Emergency Relief funds--New work.-One revetment, totaling 1,995 linear feet, consisting of 1,955 squares of mattress and 90 RIVERS AND HARBORS--ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1117 squares: of paving, was completed under contract at a cost of $48,- 115.57, completing all work under Emergency Relief funds.

The quantities required to complete the project are estimated as 100 dikes, 74,000 linear feet, and 44 revet- ments, 210,000 linear feet. Dikes and revetments are now in very good repair and the channel has been greatly improved by the work that has been done. Dredging is required at low stages to remove temporary shoals and maintain the required channel depths. In recent years, notwithstanding the unusual low water that has prevailed, the project dimensions of channels have generally been maintained throughout the navigation season. The navigation sea- son formerly extended from the middle of February to the middle of December,, the river being generally closed by ice the remainder of the year. However, in recent years navigation has continued throughout the winter, except when the river is actually blocked by heavy running ice or gorges. The river is generally above the 10- foot stage, St. Louis gage, for 51/2 months of the year, latter part of February to middle of August, during which time project channel depths generally prevail without dredging.

See report, "Mississippi River between the Missouri River and Minneapolis, Minn.," page 1146. 3. REMOVING SNAGS AND WRECKS FROM THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BELOW THE MOUTH OF MISSOURI RIVER AND FROM OLD AND ATCIHAFALAYA RIVERS The section of the Mississippi River covered in this report was formerly in charge of the St. Louis engineer district, but for the purpose of administration on July 1, 1930, it was divided into three reaches, which are under the supervision and direction of the district engineers at St. Louis, Mo., Memphis, Tenn., and Vicksburg, Miss. The St. Louis district extends from the mouth of the Missouri River to the mputh of the Ohio River, a distance of 195 miles. The Memphis distrfct extends from the mouth of the Ohio River to the mouth of the Arkansas River, a distance of 399 miles. The Vicks- burg district extends from the mouth of the Arkansas River to the Head of Passes, 671 miles, and includes 8 miles of Old River and 30 miles of the Atchafalaya River. District engineers: St. Louis, Mo., Lt. Col. P. S. Reinecke, Corps of Engineers; Memphis, Tenn., Maj. Daniel Noce, Corps of Engineers; Vicksburg, Miss., Lt. Col. Raymond G. Moses, Corps of Engineers. Division engineers: For the river below the mouth of the Ohio, Brig. Gen. H. B. Ferguson, Corps of Engineers; for the river above the mouth of the Ohio, Lt. Col. Malcolm Elliott, Corps of Engineers; Lt. Col. Philip B. Fleming, Corps of Engineers, acting May 1 to June 8, 1939. Location.-The snagging district embraces that portion of the river between Head of Passes and the mouth of Missouri River, 1,265 miles, 8 mhiles of Old River (present mouth of Red River), and 30 miles of Atchafalaya River from Red River to Melville, La.; total, 1,303 miles. Previous projects.-For the removal of these obstructions general appropriations were made at irregular intervals as early as 1824. For further details, see page 1880, Annual Report for 1915. Existing project.-This is a continuation of the plan adopted in 1879, and provides for the removal and destruction of snags, wrecks, drift heaps, and other obstructions to navigation in the Mississippi River between Head of Passes (13 miles from mouth of South Pass) and mouth of Missouri River, and in Old and Atchafalaya Rivers 1122 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, 'U.

Terminal facilities.-For information under this heading reference should be made to the report on improving the Mississippi River between Ohioband Missouri Rivers and to reports of the Mississippi River Commission and district engineers, thereunder. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The entire section of the river included in the project was; patrolled and cleared of obstruc- tions except that from Warrenton, Miss., to Head of Passes, 454 miles, where work was not required and Missouri River to Ohio River, 195 miles (no snags boat, available), was not patrolled... The total cost of work under the project for the year was $54,- 016.69 for maintenance, and the total expenditure was $47,102.63. Mouth of Missouri River to mouth of Ohio River (St. Louis dis- trict.-No work was done during the year. Mouth of Ohio River to mouth of White River (Memphis dis- trict).-Duringthe year the snag boat C. B. Reese ran 894 miles and destroyed 791 snags and removed 1 drift at a cost of $29,016.69 and expenditure of $22,102.63. Mouth of White River to Head of Passes and Old and Atchafalaya Rivers (Vicksburg district).-Duringthe year the snag boat C. H. West made 9 complete trips between the mouth of White River and Warrenton, Miss. No snagging was necessary below that point. Duriing these rips . 1,306 miles were run andi 171 sna ~ were de- stroyed, at a cost of $25,000 and expenditure of $25,000. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project being one of contin- uous maintenance of channel, no estimate of completion and total cost can be made. Each freshet brings down new obstructions and changes in locat ion of channel, which are constantly going on, un- RIVERS AND HARBORS--ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1123 cover old obstructions. The number of obstructions destroyed an- nually varies from several hundred to several thousand. (Annual Report, 1920, p. 2503.) This work is of great benefit to commerce and navigation of the river, and disasters caused by vessels striking channel obstructions seldom occur. Operations in the various districts provided a channel reasonably free fromsnags at the end of the fiscal year, and there is sufficient plantv ilable todtake care of- fittre work. Thea total cost of the existing project at the end of the fiscal year was $5,18,399.98 for mantenance. The total expenditures under the existing project were $5,179,485.92, of which $4,146,102.75 was from appropriation provided under section 7 of the act of August 11, 1888. Proposed operations.-This work is continuous since new obstruc- tions are brought down by each freshet though not in such quantity as formerly. An allotment of $50,000 from regular maintenance and improvement funds will be applied to removing obstructions to navi- gation in the following districts: Memphis-- ------ ------------------------------------- $25, 000 . -Vicksburg ------------------ -----------.. 25,000 Total------- ------------------------------------ 50, 000 The work will be done by hired labor with Government plant.

Location.-This canal connects the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, proceeding from a point on the Illinois River about 12 miles from 1174 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 La Salle, across the State of Illinois to the Mississippi River at the mouth of Rock River. Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a canal from the Illinois River, near Bureau Junction, running westerly via the Bureau Creek Valley to Rock River, near Colona, thence in the bed of Rock River to the rapids near Milan, Ill., and thence to the Mississippi River at the mouth of Rock River, at Rock Island, the length of the main line being 75 miles. The feeder, 29.3 miles in length, extends from Rock Falls on Rock River to the summit level of the canal, about 28 miles from the Illinois River. There are 32 locks in the main canal, described in the following tabulation. There is also a lock and controlling works at the head of the feeder at Rock Falls, and a lock in Rock River at Rock Falls connecting the pool of the Government dam with the power com- pany's dam below. This lock has dimensions similar to those in the main canal and cost $75,000. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1902, was $8,911,- 551.12. The estimated cost of operation and maintenance, made in 1936, is $176,000 annually.

For further details see page 1888 of the Annual Report for 1915, and page 1098 of the Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the reconstruction of the five original reservoir dams, viz, Winnibigoshish, Leech Lake, Pokegama, Sandy Lake, and Pine River, and the construction of Gull Lake Reservoir. The estimated cost revised in 1928, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects, was $895,000. The estimated cost of operation and maintenance of the reservoirs, made in 1936, is $25,000 annually. The above dams are of solid concrete construction, Pokegama being built on bedrock and the others on pile foundations. The Sandy Lake Dam includes a lock 160 feet long, 30 feet wide, with a maxi- mum lift of 9.5 feet and a depth of 2.5 feet on the lower sill at low water. The construction of an equalizing canal between Winni- bigoshish and Leech Lake Reservoirs, at an estimated cost of $61,200 (later increased to $71,200), was subsequently added to the project, but no work was done, and this part of the project was abandoned in the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1915.

BLACK RIVER, WIS. Location.--The source of the river is in west-central Wisconsin. The river drains an area of 2,270 square miles lying wholly in Wis- consin, and flows in a general southwesterly direction a total distance of about 160 miles to its confluence with the Mississippi River at La Crosse, Wis., 698.2 miles above Cairo, Ill., and 154.8 miles below the lower Northern Pacific Railway bridge at Minneapolis. The portion of the stream included in this improvement extends from the mouth to a point 1.4 miles upstream. (See U. S. Geological Survey map of Wisconsin, scale 1: 500,000 for general location.) Existing project.--This provides for a channel depth of 9 feet be- low the normal elevation of pool No. 8, substantially from bank to bank and extending from the mouth to a point 1.4 miles upstream. The estimated cost of new work made in 1937 is $85,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $2,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 23, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published maps. 1200 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Local cooperation.--The existing project stipulates that local inter- ests furnish, free of cost to the United States, necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance as required, and furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will construct adequate terminal facilities open to the public on equal terms. While these requirements have not been formally met, it is expected that local interests will make the necessary commitments required. Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work not begun. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended will be applied to new work dredging during the period April to June, 1940, de- pendent upon conditions of cooperation by the city of La Crosse, Wis., being complied with. The additional sum of $2,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941 in maintenance dredging.

ST. CROIX RIVER, WIS. AND MINN. Location.-The source of the river is in northwestern Wisconsin. It isabout 160 miles long and for its greater part forms the boundary between Wisconsin and Minnesota. It flows southwesterly and then southerly into the Mississippi River at Prescott, Wis., 41.5 miles be- low the Northern Pacific Railroad bridge, Minneapolis, Minn. The portion included in this improvement extends from the mouth to Taylors Falls, a distance of 52.3. miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota, scale 1: 500,000, for general location.) Existing project.--This provides for the maintenance of a channel 9 feet in depth and of suitable width from the mouth to Stillwater (24 miles) in connection with the improvement of the upper Missis- sippi River to afford a depth of 9 feet, and a channel 3 feet deep at RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1201 mean low water, between Stillwater and Taylors Falls (28 miles); also the improvement of the harbor and water front at Stillwater. The ordinary fluctuations between mean low and mean high water are about 7.5 feet at Osceola and about 17.8 feet at Stillwater. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1927, was $150,400. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance for that portion of the project between the mouth and Still- water is $5,000. The latest authorization (1939) for maintenance work on the stretch between Stillwater and Taylors Falls is limited to an expenditure of not to exceed $5,000 per year. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 18, 1878 Dredging, etc., for a 3-foot channel between the H. Ex. Doe.

Terminal facilities.--At Stillwater there is a concrete-paved levee, 550 feet long and 40 feet wide, sloping from the top of the river bank to the water. There is also a piling and timber trestle wharf on the right bank, of which 276 feet is dock and 96 feet approach. At other points along the river landings are made on the banks. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A total of 378 snags was removed from the river between Stillwater and Taylors Falls by hired labor and Government plant. The costs and expenditures for the year were $911.61. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All new work was completed in 1930. The extension to provide a 9-foot channel from the mouth to Stillwater was completed on August 12, 1938, when full pool at dam No. 3 of the Mississippi River project was acquired. The maximum draft that could be carried June 30, 1939, was 4.5 feet; below Still- water, 9 feet. The total costs to June 30, 1939, were $233,742.16, being $150,409.50 for new work and $83,332.66 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $233,742.16.

MINNESOTA RIVER, MINN. Location.-This river has its source in South Dakota, about 35 miles from Browns Valley, Minn. It is about 400 miles in length, its general direction of flow being easterly, and it empties into the Mississippi River at St. Paul, Minn. For general location, see United States Geological Survey map of Minnesota. Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of August 11, 1888, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1890 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1105 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for open-channel improvement from the Mississippi River to Shakopee (25.6 miles). The object to be accomplished by this improvement is to obtain a channel with 4 RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1203 feet of water from the Mississippi River to Shakopee, which will accommodate vessels of 3-foot draft. The fluctuation in level from mean low to mean high water is 8.6 feet, and from extreme low to extreme high water 19.7 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1892, was $10,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892 (p. 2209 of the Annual Report for 1891). The latest pub- lished map will be found on page 1574 of the Annual Report for 1888. Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1931. Navigation by small recreational craft is practicable for drafts not in excess of 2.5 feet.

Location.-The Illinois River (entirely within the State of Illi- nois), formed by the confluence of the Kankakee and the Des Plaines Rivers, flows in a southwesterly direction and enters the Mississippi at Grafton, Ill., about 38 miles above St. Louis. The Illinois waterway comprises the Illinois River from its mouth to the confluence of the Kankakee and Des Plaines Rivers, a distance of 273 miles; the Des Plaines River to Lockport, a distance of 18.1 miles, and the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the south branch of the Chicago River to Lake Street, Chicago, a distance of 34.5 miles. Also from a point 12.4 miles above Lockport, Ill., the waterway comprises the Calumet-Sag Channel and the Little Calumet and Calumet Rivers, to turning basin No. 5, near the entrance to Lake Calumet, a distance of 23.8 miles, Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852, April 10, 1869, July 11, 1870, June 14, 1880, and March 2, 1907. For further details see page 1945 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1172 of Annual Report for 1932. Existing project.-This project prov'des for a channel with least dimensions of 9 feet in depth and 300 feet in width from the mouth of the waterway to Lockport, Ill., to be secured by dredging, the construction of locks and dams at Peoria, La Grange, Starved Rock, Dresden Island, and Brandon Road, the cons truction of locks at the lower end of the Marseilles Canal and Lockport, and the construction of a dam at Marseilles; a navigable channel depth of not less than 9 feet of the present width as follows: Lockport, Ill., to Lake Street, Chicago, via the main sanitary canal and the South Branch of the Chicago River, a distance of 34.5 miles; rag Junction, 12.4 miles above Lockport, to Blue Island, Ill., via the Calumet-Sag Channel, a distance of 16.2 miles, with three passing places 9 feet deep and 150 feet wide. The project also provides for a channel 9 feet deep and 300 feet wide in Calumet and Little Caluret Rivers, from turn- ing basin No. 5 to the eastern end of the Sag Channel, a distance of 7.6 miles, with the realinement of the navigation channel from One Hundred and Thirtieth Street on the Calumet River in Chicago, Ill., to One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Street on the Little Calu- met River in Burnham, Ill., and the abandonment and discon- tinuance of that portion of the natural Calumet River bypassed by the realined channel, and for dredging at the entrance and to the south end of Lake Calumet to a depth of 21 feet. The dredging in Lake Calumet is included in the report for Chicago district, Great Lakes division. The total length of the project from the mouth to Lake Street, Chicago, is 325.6 miles and from the mouth to turning basin No. 5, 327.3 miles. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1935, is $30,189.500. The estimate is exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for the operation and care of locks and dams is $350,000 annually, and for channel main- tenance $448,000 annually. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1215 Acts Work authorized Documents Jan. 21, 1927 Channel 9 feet deep and 200 feet wide from mouth of Illinois River Rivers and Harbors to Utica, 231 miles; modification of the 2 United States locks and Committee Doc.

S. ARMY, 1939 Recommended modifications of project.--Under date of January rat 182 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the texisting project, as indicated below, an estimated first cost of $25,900,000, with annual maintenance of $179,000 in addition to that now required: (a) Enlarge the Calumet-Sag Channel to a width of 160 feet and with a usable depth of 9 feet. (b) Dredge a barge channel 160 feet in width with a usable depth of 9 feet in the Grand Calumet River from the existing channel in the Little Calumet River to its junction with the Indiana Harbor Canal and thence northward through Oie Hundred and Forty-first Street, East Chicago, Ind., to deep (lake) draft navigation in Indiana Harbor. (c) Construct in the Little Calumet River a lock of suitable dimen- sions for barge navigation to prevent iaversals of flow and to regu- late water levels and water diversion. (d) Rebuild or otherwise alter at Federal expense all obstructive railroad bridges across the Calumet-Sag Channel and the proposed Illinois Waterway portions of the Little Calumet River, Calumet River, Grand Calumet River, and Indiana Harbor Canal, so as to provide suitable clearances, except that no Federal funds shall be expended for the removal or alteration of the trestle bridge of the Illinois Central Railroad at mile 11.23 of the Little Calumet River, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 145, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, modified the existing project subject to the condition that the State of Illinois transfer to the United States without cost all rights and titles in the two State-owned dams on the Illinois River, and that local interests furnish the United States without cost all neces- sary areas for the disposal of materials dredged in creating and maintaining the channel authorized (S. Doc. No. 130, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). By deed dated March 28, 1928, the State of Illinois trans- ferred these locks and dams to the United States. Permission has been granted by many riparian landowners for use of their lands for the disposal of dredged materials. The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, modified the existing project subject to the following provisions: That the project thus adopted shall be in all its parts a navigable waterway of the United States, forever free to the public use of all, unencumbered by any tolls or restrictions of any kind whatsoever except such as may be imposed by Congress. That the State of Illinois shall proceed, sub- ject to the supervision and approval of all expenditures and obliga- tions by the Secretary of War, to construct the highway bridges at Brandon Road and Marseilles Canal, to make the necessary altera- tions in other highway bridges across the Illinois Waterway, to make the necessary arrangements, and agreements for the alterations of the railroad bridges across said waterway, and to do such other work on said waterway as the Secretary of War shall direct and the avail- able funds of the State make possible; the bridges mentioned not to become the property of the United States, and no obligations to be incurred by the United States to maintain, operate, or replace them. That no claim shall lie against the United States because of RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1219 any contractual obligations which have been or may be entered into by the State of Illinois as regards the construction of a waterway between Utica and Lake Michigan (S. Doc. No. 126, 71st Cong., 2d sess.). The State of Illinois appropriated $20,000,000 for the construction of a waterway providing minimum 8-foot depths in channels not less than 150 feet wide, from the upper end of the Federal project on the Illinois River to Lockport. The lock and dam at Starved Rock was about 95 percent complete, the Marseilles Lock was about 95 percent, the Marseilles Canel 98 percent, Dresden Island Lock and Dam about 20 percent, Brandon Road Lock and Dam about 70 percent, and the Lockport Lock about 95 percent complete before the passage of the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930. The River and Harbcr Act of August 30, 1935, as modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938, provides that local interests furnish to the United States, free of cost, all necessary land to effect the impro vements recommended in House Document No. 180, Seventy- third Congress, second session, and install operating machinery and pla e in operating condition the three drawbridges across the Chicago SrnitIr y and Ship Canal between its junction with the Calumet-Sag Channel and Lockport when directed by the Secretary of War. These requirements have been met and were accepted by the Chief of Engineers on January 30, 1935. Termilnal facilities.-Of the 13 principal cities and towns along the Illinois River, about 5 own dock frontage, more or less improved for boat landings; 4 own dock frontage with no improvements; and 4 own ro frontage except at street ends. At Peoria, the largest city cn the river, there is a $400,000 modern river-rail municipal public terminal, having an available frontage of 1,100 feet; 205 feet is occupied by a dock house and 190 feet by an open dock. The dock house is served by a wharf boat 45 feet by 230 feet and an escalator capable of handling 1,000 tons a day. This terminal is served by the equivalent of a belt-line railroad. Grain elevators are available at 23 points between Grafton and Morris, where grain can be loaded directly into barges. Private coal-loadng terminals are located at Havana, Liverpool, and Cop- peras Creek. A coal-unloading terminal is located at the mouth of the Vermilion River near La Salle and a cement-loading plant is lo- cated at Peru. Sand and gravel plants are located at Kingston Lake and Laccn. A sand and gravel plant is located a short distance from Joliet on the Des Plaines River. From the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, sand, gravel, oil, and gasoline are shipped from Lockport and stone from Lemont. A pri- vate ccal-unloading terminal is located at Crawford Avenue, Chicago. At Western Avenue, Chicago, bulk and package freight is handled through the North Pier River barge terminal. The newly completed State 'of Illinois barge terminal, including a 1,500,000-bushel grain elevator, is located at Damen Avenue, Chicago, on the South Branch of the Chicago River. Two eand- and gravel-distribution yards are located on the Calumet-Sag Channel. A crude-cil-unloading termi- nal is located or the Little Calumet River at Riverdale, just upstream from the junction with the Sag Channel. 1220 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

MISSOURI RIVER, KANSAS CITY TO THE MOUTH Location.-The Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri River, which flows south- easterly 2,473 miles across or along seven States to the Mississippi River, 17 miles above St. Louis. For description, see page 1149, An- nual Report for 1932. Practically the entire length of the section from Kansas City to the mouth is contained within the State of Missouri. Previous projects.-The first appropriation for improvement by regulation was made in the River and Harbor Act of June 18, 1878. The original plan for comprehensive improvement was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882, modified by River and Harbor Acts of July 5, 1884, September 19, 1890, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1891 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1153 of Annual Report for 1938. Emisting project.-This provides for securing a permanent naviga- i!ii! l iiiiiiii ble channel with a minimum low-water depth of 6 feet and a minimum z width of 200 feet, with a reasonable additional width around the U): bends, by means of bank revetment, permeable dikes to contract and stabilize the waterway, removal of snags, and occasional dredging. . -1: i (3.. Length of section under improvement (mouth to upper end of Quindaro Bend) is 386.21 miles. Ordinary and extreme fluctuations of stage are 16 and 38 feet, respectively. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938, is $80,000,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The estimated cost for annual maintenance is $2,000,000. 1932 mileage. 1274 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Recommended modifications of project.-Underdate of February 24, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended adoption of a project for Missouri River between Sioux City and the mouth to provide for a channel of 9-foot depth and width not less than 300 feet, to be obtained by revetment of banks, construction of permeable dikes to contract and stabilize the waterway, cut-offs to eliminate long bends, closing of nminor channels, removal of snags, and dredging as required, at an estimated construction cost of $6,000,000, in addition to the amounts previously authorized, and with no increase in the annual maintenance of $4,500,000 (H. Doc. No. 214, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-The project provides that cooperation from benefited localities may be required, in case a comprehensive plan isadopted by Congress for an apportionment of expense, where any imnprovement confers special benefit; and receipt of contributions from private parties, to be expended with Government funds upon Nuthorized works where such would be in the interest of navigation, is authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1915. The Secretary of War has approved the general principle of cooperative construction on the Missouri River below Kansas City on the basis that 25 percent of the cost of any special installation shall be paid by the United State. and 75 percent by the local interests. The total amount contributed by local interests in cooperation with the United States from 1918 to June 30, 1939, was $665,662.80, of which $8,647.11 was returned to contributors. Work done by private interests for the benefit of the public during the fiscal year 1939 was as follows: Randolph Bend.-The Wabash Railway Co. placed 423 cubic yards of stone on existing riprap paving on the left bank near Randolph, Mo., at a cost of $657.10. Missouri City Bend.-The Wabash Railway Co. placed 321 cubic yards of stone on existing mattress and repaired 1,250 square yards of existing mattress on the left bank near Missouri City, Mo., at a total cost of $2,122.76. RIVERS AND HARBORS--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1275 DeWitt Bend.-The Wabash Railway Co. placed 550 cubic yards of stone on existing mattress and repaired 1,440 square yards of existing mattress on the left bank approximately 2 miles downstream from DeWitt, Mo., at a total cost of $3,619.03. Terminal facilities.-Facilities for transferring grain, petroleum products, and other commodities are maintained at various locations on this section of the river. These facilities are listed in the following table: Location 2 Description of facility 1 Miles above mouth Nearest town (1932 mileage) Oil-loading facilities..____...--------------------------------------------_. 384.6 K ansas City, Kans.

The above-listed facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Additional terminals, however, are contemplated for construction at other points as soon as conditions warrant. Operations and result during fiscal year-New work.-This work consisted of the construction by contract of 51 dikes and 61 dike extensions totaling 37,955 linear feet, and 4 pieces of revetment total- ing 7,035 linear feet, at a total cost of $1,068,964.78; construction by hired labor of 4 dikes totaling 1,073 linear feet, 5 pieces of revetment totaling 3,396 linear feet, and dredge fills at 3 localities totaling 1,453,332 cubic yards, at a total cost of $120,259.10; and prosecution of unallocated surveys by hired labor for engineering and channel- rectification studies at a cost of $64,829.34. In addition to completed works, there are in the process of con- struction by contract 15 dikes to total about 8,596 linear feet, 13 dike extensions to total about 3,986 linear feet, and 2 pieces of revetment to total about 4,100 linear feet; and by hired labor 1 dike to total about 215 linear feet and 1 piece of revetment to total about 1,495 linear feet. Maintenance.-This work consisted of the repair by contract of 74 linear feet of dike and 570 linear feet of revetment at a total cost of $16 081.53, and the accomplishment by hired labor of the following: Raising of 5,971 linear feet of dikes, removal of 5,169 linear feet of dikes, removal of 1,075 linear feet of mattress, removal of 33,734 1276 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 cubic yards of rock from 2 localities by the U. S. dipper dredge Keokuk, the repair of 19,948 linear feet of dikes and 55,317 linear feet of revetment, and the construction of 2,359 linear feet of revet- ment, 1,794 linear feet of abatis, and 1,013 linear feet of chute- closure dams, at a total cost of $444,407.58; removal of 12,030,219 cubic yards of material from 104 localities by the U. S. dredges Black, -Clark,Lewis, McGregor, and Mitchell, a Government draghne and towboats, at a total cost of $301,032.89; removal of 342 snags, 3 piles, and 1 wrack heap at a cost of $9,386.88; channel surveys to determine channel conditions at a cost of $71,760.90; marking channel for navigation at a cost of $157,428.75; and stream gaging for special studies and working data at a cost of $3,624.40. The total cost of all work prosecuted with regular funds was $2.257,776.15, of which $1,254,053.22 was for new work and $1,003,- 722 93 was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,276,- 273.72, all regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 89 percent completed at the end of the fiscal year, based on the 1938 estimated cost of new work. The physical extent of work accom- plished is 1,624,425 linear feet of pile dikes, 906,897 linear feet of revetment, 29,499 linear feet of abatis, 35,842 linear feet of retards, 16,561 linear feet of levees, 5 revetment spillways, 115 linear feet of dike screening, removal of 2,964 linear feet of dikes, dredge fills totaling 1,453,332 cubic yards, and the removal of 80,903,486 cubic yards of material by dredging. In general, the majority of the structures that have not accomplished the purpose intended are in only fair condition. Although additional dikes and revetment are required for permanent establishment of the project dimensions, a channel with a minimum depth of 6 feet and a minimum width of 200 feet is in general available throughout the navigation season, which approximately covers the period from March 1 to November 30. Due to a period of high water, the controlling depth at the end of the fiscal year was approximately 9 feet. The practicable draft at ordinary stages of the river is 51/2 feet. This section of the river has been used for commercial navigation since June 1935. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1939, was as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular funds.... --------------------------------- $63, 038, 799. 73 $15, 747, 698. 85 $78,786,498.58 Emergency Relief funds ...------------------------------- 1, 375, 243.49 133, 756. 51 1,509,000. 00 Public Works funds - ------------------------------- 6, 431,829.67 --------------- 6,431.829.67 Total ..-------......-------- -------------------- 70, 845, 872.89 15, 881, 455.36 86, 727, 328.25 The total expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1939, were $86,614,252.74 ($78,673,423.07 regular funds, $6,431,829.67 Pub- lic Works funds, and $1,509,000 Emergency Relief funds).

MISSOURI RIVER, KANSAS CITY, MO., TO RULO, NEBR. See report on Missouri River, Kansas City, Mo., to Sioux City, Iowa, page 1297. 3. OSAGE RIVER, MO. Location.--This.river, rising in eastern Kansas, flows easterly 516 miles in sinuous bends to the Missouri River, 129 miles above its mouth and 14 miles below Jefferson City. Existing project.--This provides for a lock and dam and for open- channel work consisting of wing dams and training walls, removal of obstructions, and dredging between the mouth and Warsaw to obtain a uniform depth of 3 feet. The length of section included in the project is 164.7 miles 1 and consists of two parts, mouth to Bag- nell Dam (Federal Power Commission project No. 459 at mile 75.4 above the mouth) and Bagnell Dam to legal head of navigation (im- mediately below Warsaw). Ordinary and extreme fluctuations of stage on the Osage River below Bagnell Dam are 15 and 41 feet and on the Lake of the Ozarks, formed by Bagnell Dam, are 10 and 30 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1928, is $250,000, ex- clusive of the lock and dam, for open-channel work as far as the mouth of the Niangua River (107 miles above the mouth of the Osage River). The latest (1936) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $18,500, including $6,000 for operating and care of lock and dam. The following table shows the principal features of the lock and dam included in the project: Lock and dam No. 1, Osage River Nearest railroad station------------------------ Osage City, Mo., 6 miles.

For latest published maps see H. Doc. No. 91, 73d Cong., 1st sess. Terminal facilities.-On the Lake of the Ozarks, formed by Bag- nell Dam, there are several marine ways and drydocks operated by private interests which are capable of handling any boats now operat- ing or likely to be operated on the lake. There also exist a few docks which are open to the public and numerous private docks and storage facilities. These facilities adequately fulfill existing needs. On the Osage River below Bagnell Dam there are several small boat docks maintained by private interests which adequately fulfill existing needs. Operations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-Work consisted of the operation and care of the lock and dam. There were 66 lockages required for 70 small craft which passed through the lock. The total cost was $5,134.08, and the expenditures were $5,283.23. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Except for the construction of two wing dams, one in 1925 and one in 1926, the open-channel work was completed sufficiently in 1919 to provide reasonable accommoda- tions for the commerce actually using the channel. Upon the com- pletion of Bagnell Dam in 1931, navigable depths in excess of the project depth were made available at all times on the portion of the project upstream from mile 75.4. Navigation activities on the latter section have increased considerably with the development of the Lake of the Ozarks as a recreational area, and local interests and navigators have indicated a desire that the Department undertake to remove the accumulations of drift, which, at stages near full reservoir level, become so heavy on the main stem of the Lake of the Ozarks (the old channel of the Osage River) as to present an obstruction to navigation. The facilities at the lock and dam are deteriorating, and improve- ment and reconstruction are necessary. (See table under paragraph "Existing project" for dates of completion of lock and dam.) RIVERS AND HARBORS--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1283 The controlling depth from the mouth of the river to mile 21, or about 14 miles above the lock and dam, is 3 feet, and drafts of 2 feet over this section are practicable. The controlling depth from mile 21 to Bagnell Dam is 2 feet, and drafts in excess of 18 inches are not practicable. On the Lake of the Ozarks, depths of 10 feet or more are available at any ordinary stage of the lake from Bagnell Dam to Warsaw. Many of the various arms of the lake also have dependable channels for navigation for considerable distances above their con- fluences with the main stem of the lake. The total cost of; the existing project to June 30, 1939, was $1,221,- 856.55 from regular funds, of which $658,075.71 was for new work, $543,847.22 was for maintenance, and $19,933.62 was for operation and care of the lock and dam. The total expenditures were $1,221,788.93 from regular funds. In addition, the sum of $190,561.10 was ex- pended between July 1, 1912, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement, under the provision of the perma- nent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance ($5,134) of regular funds will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940, as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1939________________________ __ $67. 62 Maintenance (July 1, 1939, to June 30, 1940) (operation and care): Operation of lock and dam_______________________________ 4, 899. 23 Ordinary maintenance and repairs (less rental) ------------------ 117. 15 Improvement and reconstruction_ Emergencies ----------------------------------------------- 50. 00 Total maintenance_-------------- - 5, 066. 38 Total for all work_________---------__ 5, 134. 00 The additional sum of $18,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1941, as follows: Maintenance (July 1, 1940, to June 30, 1941) (operation and care): -- -- _ Operation of lock and dam_____________________-- - ___-- $4, 850 Ordinary maintenance and repairs (less rental)--- ------- Improvement and reconstruction: _----_ _ 50 Reconstruction of bridge over Shipley Creek___________--- - ___ 2, 000 Repair to lock gates and machinery_________ ______________11, 000 Emergencies ------------------------------------------------------ 100 Total ---------------------------------------------------- 18, 000 The above-listed items of improvement and reconstruction are con- sidered essential to the continued safe operation of the lock and dam.

MISSOURI RIVER, KANSAS CITY, MO., TO SIOUX CITY, IOWA Location.-The Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri River, which flows southeasterly 2,473 miles across or along seven States to the Missis-' sippi River, 17 miles above St. Louis. The river is the boundary between the States of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. For description, see page 1149, Annual Report for 1932. ' All mileage is 1932 channel mileage above the mouth unless otherwise designated. $ 1890 channel mileage. 1298 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Previous projects.-Under the River and Harbor Act of August 14, 1876, the first regulation works were constructed at St. Joseph and Nebraska City, but a project for systematic river improvement was not adopted until August 2, 1882, modified by the River and Harbor Acts of July 5, 1884, September 19, 1890, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1893, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1175, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for securing a permanent navi- gable channel 6 feet in depth and to conform to the character and methods of improvement of the section of river between the upper end of Quindaro Bend and the mouth, namely, by means of bank revetment, permeable dikes to contract and stabilize the waterway. removal of siags, and occasional dredging. Length of section under improvement (upper end of Quindaro Bend to Sioux City) is 409 miles (1890 mileage). The ordinary fluctuation is about 14 feet and the extreme fluctuation about 38 feet. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1935, is $92,000,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The estimated cost of annual maintenance is $2,500,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents I Jan. 21,1927 Appropriation of $12,000,000 authorized for the H. Doe.

Recommended modifications of project.-Underdate of February 24, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended adoption of a project for Missouri River between Sioux City and the mouth so as to provide for a channel of 9-foot depth and width not less than 300 feet, to be obtained by revetment of banks, construction of permeable dikes to contract and stabilize the waterway, cut-offs to eliminate long bends, closing of minor channels, removal of snags, and dredging as required, at an estimated construction cost of $6,000,000, in addition to the amounts previously authorized, and with no increase in the annual maintenance of $4,500,000 (H. Doc. No. 214, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-At Leavenworth, Kans., approximately 3,000 feet above the railroad bridge, there is a grain elevator owned by S-private interests with facilities for loading grain onto barges. The facilities are considered adequate for existing needs. RIVERS AND HARBORS-OMAHA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1299 At Plattsmouth, Nebr., approximately 1 mile above the railroad bridge, Cass County has completed construction of a concrete-floored dock (56 by 250 feet) and a warehouse of wood and corrugated-metal construction. Highway connections have been provided and railway connections and additional handling and storage facilities are to be provided. At Omaha, Nebr., plans have been made for an all-purpose municipal terminal costing $1,893,261 to be constructed on city-owned river front- age at approximate mile 660 (1890 mileage). The plans include a steel bulkhead 900 feet long, dockhouse, freight house, cantilever crane, 3,000,000-bushel grain elevator, and facilities for handling coal, lum- ber, petroleum products, and miscellaneous cargo. An application has been made to the Public Works Administration for the necessary funds. A privately owned terminal with facilities "for handling petro- leum products is under construction at approximate mile 669 (1890 mileage) by a major oil company. At Sioux City, Iowa, the river frontage between the combination bridge and the mouth of the Floyd River, owned by the city, is being improved with the intention to use for terminal purposes. The Termi- nal Grain Corporation proposes to construct a terminal at another site. A lumber company and two major oil companies have indicated plans to provide private terminal facilities. Committees or dock boards have been appointed to promote terminal facilities at the following towns: Nebraska City, Blair, Tekamah, and Decatur, Nebr., and Onawa, Iowa. Privately owned terminals are being promoted by the Farmers Cooperative Elevator Co. at Whiting, Iowa, and by the Blencoe Farmers Elevator Co. at Blencoe, Iowa.

Maintenance consisted of repair and replacement of 10,208 linear feet of dikes; 62,086 linear feet of revetment; placement of 2,559 linear feet of bank-protection mattress; construction of 3,088 linear feet of accretion paving; construction of 2,094 linear feet of revet- ment; repair of dikes by dredging 374,111 cubic yards of fill; repair.- ing special chute-closing structures and minor and incidental main- tenance as required. Snagging and clearing operations resulted in removing 1,212 snags, clearing 337 acres, removing 45,008 cubic yards of protruding banks, and buoying 1 retard. Dredging (regular funds), during the year by the U. S. dredges General Chittenden, Robert McGregor, Meriwoether Lewis, 6 leased dredges, Government draglines and by contract, resulted in removal of 17,297,218 cubic yards of material from 54 localities at a cost of $1,076,545.34 charged to new work; 476,744 cubic yards of material from 4 localities by U. S. dredges Robert McGregor and Meri- wether Lewis and 1 leased dredge at a cost of $30,346.70 charged to maintenance. Unallocated surveys for engineering and channel rec- tification studies amounted to $74,433.47 charged to new work, regu- lar funds. The cost of channel surveys made during the year to determine results accomplished by the various works was $29,074.44; marking channel for navigation at a cost of $10,128.11; and stream gaging for special studies and working data at a cost of $447.21, all charged to maintenance. The total costs for the fiscal year were as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular funds --------------------------------- $6, 321, 454.50 $677,721. 51 $6, 999, 176. 01 Public Works funds--________ __ _____ _- - - -_ 719, 679.96 - --- --- 719, 679.96 Emergency Relief funds ..------ --- _---...-. 1, 215, 611.51- - - 1,215, 611.51 All funds .. .....................------------------------------- __ __ ____ 8, 256, 745. 97 677, 721. 51 8, 934, 467. 48 The total expenditures for the fiscal year amounted to $9,016,- 695.40; including $6,537,219.03 regular funds, $1,014,723.52 Public Works funds, and $1,464,752.85 Emergency Relief funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The work between Kansas City, Mo., and Rulo, Nebr., is approximately 89 percent complete; be- tween Rulo, and Omaha, Nebr., it is approximately 82 percent com- plete; and between Omaha, Nebr., and Sioux City, Iowa, it is ap- proximately 54 percent complete. The entire project is approxi- mately 75 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. Kansas City, Mo., to Rublo, Nebr.-The majority of the structures in this section that have not yet accomplished the purpose intended are in fairly good condition. Construction of new work is still in progress; however, at reasonably high stages of the river a channel with a minimum depth of 6 feet and minimum width of 200 feet is available throughout this section. Due to a period of high water, the controlling depth at the end of the fiscal year was approximately RIVERS, AND HARBORS-OMAHA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1301 8 feet. The practical draft at ordinary stages of the river is 4 to 41/2 feet. Commercial navigation over this section was inaugurated by a large oil company during May 1939; the first tow, consisting of a towboat and 2 barges, loaded with gasoline, with a draft of ap- proximately 41/ feet, left Kansas City May 29, 1939, and arrived in Omaha, June 3, 1939. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project for this section consists of the construction of additional dikes and revetment. Rulo, Nebr., to Omaha, Nebr.-Concerted effort in completing the dike and revetment work together with an extensive dredging pro- gram developed this section to insure reliable navigation for the first commercial tows in May 1939. On July 15, 1939, five success- ful trips, four with four-barge tows of approximately 800,000 gal- lons of gasoline each, had been completed to Omaha. Channel con- ditions were never a cause for delay and auxiliary dredging to facili- tate passage of tows was not required, although the normal high water was not received this year. With operation of the Fort Peck Dam next year and completion of the dredging and construction program now in progress, reliable depths for commercial naviga- tion should be assured by June 30, 1940. Omaha, Nebr., to Sioux City, Iowa.-Continued improvement is noted in this section. Completion of two cut-offs, at California Bend and at Peterson Bend, during the fiscal year just ended will have marked effect in expediting completion and in reducing the ulti- mate cost thereof. Work in this section is being given second priority in order to assure navigation to Omaha by June 30, 1940; however, the excellent progress to date can be continued and navigation to Sioux City can be certified by June 30, 1941, if sufficient funds become available. Under the existing project, beginning with the allotment from War Department Appropriation Act of March 23, 1928, for sys- tematic work on the 6-foot channel the work accomplished includes 578,265 linear feet of revetment for permanently fixing the banks, 1,792,017 linear feet of pile dikes, 143,884 linear feet of abatis, 2,287 linear feet of jetties, recrowning 700 linear feet of an existing levee, 19,218 linear feet of retards for stabilization of channel widths, con- struction of three impermeable structures to close off auxiliary chan- nels, construction of 11,467 linear feet of semiexperimental asphalt revetment, effecting three channel cut-offs, and removal of 37,588 337 cubic yards of material dredged from the channel to obtain project depth and width.

MISSOURI RIVER, SIOUX CITY, IOWA, TO FORT BENTON, MONT. Locatibn.-See page 1297. Through this section the river flows across the .States of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, forming the northeastern boundary of Nebraska. Previous projects.-Projects were adopted and modified by river and harbor acts as follows: August 14, 1876, above the mouth of the Yellowstone; June 18, 1878, Sioux City; March 3, 1879, Vermilion; and August 2, 1882, Sioux City to Fort Benton. Modifications of September 19, 1890, and August 18, 1894, extended the improvement to Great Falls, then to Stubbs Ferry, Mont. (For further details see p. 1108 of Annual Report for 1927, p. 1894 of Annual Report for 1915, and p. 1184 of Annual Report for 1938.) Emisting project.-This provides for the expenditure of from $75,000 to $150,000 yearly for 5 -years -from--date of the project in the removal of snags and rocks, from the channel and in bank pro- tection Within easy boat reach of landings, towns, and railroad crossings between Sioux City, 764 miles above the mouth, and Fort Benton. =Since the expiration of the 5-year limit, funds have been expended in the maintenance of existing landings. At Sioux City the ordinary fluctuation is about 10.4 feet, and the extreme fluctua- tion (freshet of 1892 from Floyd River) is about 25 feet. At Fort Benton the- ordinary fluctuation is about 7.3 feet, and the extreme fluctuation: about 19 feet. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 25, 1912 (H. Doc. No. 91, 62d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-Works for the benefit of the public constructed by private interests at their own expense were: RIVERS AND HARBORS--OMAHA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1309 Pierre, S. Dak.: The city continued construction of six dump dikes in the Missouri River along the left bank at Pierre, S. Dak., from mile 1172.1 to mile 1173.2 (1890 mileage). Work is approximately 90 percent complete. Cost data is not available. Chamberlain, S. Dak.: The Department of the Interior is construct- ing revetment on the right bank of the Missouri River opposite Cham- berlain, S. Dak., and has closed off a minor channel with rock dams. The revetment work is now 68 percent complete. Cost data is not available. Terminal facilities.-The facilities are considered adequate for exist- ing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-As cutting of the banks is less marked above Sioux City and is of little moment above the mouth of the Yellowstone River, demand for bank protection work is not so urgeht as on the lower Missouri River. In 1878 rock dams and dikes were built between Fort Benton and Carroll, Mont., to concentrate the meager low-water flow, and the rapids were cleared of rocks and boulders; but, lacking maintenance, the river has reverted for the most part to the previous state. Limited appropriations hold Gov- ernment expenditures to meritorious cooperative projects, and a small amount of repair to existing works. F veimApril to October, inclusive, drafts of 30 inches are practicable to Pierre, 26 inches to the Montana State line, and 22 inches to Fort Benton. The cost of new work under the existing project to June 30, 1939, was $516,484.77, and the cost of maintenance was $410,456.81, a total of $926,941.58. The expenditures were $926,941.58. Proposedoperations.-No funds are available. The additionaisum of $10,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1941, for maintenance and snagging operations.

Location.-This river is formed by the junction of Poor and Clover Forks in Harlan County, Ky., about 687 miles above its mouth, and flows west to Burnside, Ky., from whence it makes a loop into Ten- nessee, passes Nashville, and returns to Kentucky, emptying into the Ohio near Smithland, Ky. (See United States post-route maps of Kentucky and Tennessee.) Previous projects-Below Nashville.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1832, made the first appropriation for this section of the river, but the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, was the first to define a project for its improvement. The River and Harbor Act of September 19, 1890, adopted a special project for the improvement of the mouth of the river. For further details see page 1901 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1208 of Annual Report for 1938. Above Nashville.--Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of August 14, 1876, March 3, 1881, and July 5, 1884. For further details see page 1898 of Annual Report of 1915, and page 1208 of Annual Re- port for 1938. Existing project--Below Nashville.-This provides for the con- struction of six locks and dams (locks A to F), beginning with lock A, 40.4 miles below Nashville, and ending with lock F, 147.4 miles below Nashville, to secure 6-foot navigation at low water between lock F and lock No. 1, the first lock constructed under the project for the section of the river above Nashville. The project also provides for. surmounting dams A to F with movable crests. The construction of lock and dam No. 52, Ohio River, has created a pool of more than 6-foot depth in the Cumberland River as far as lock and dam F. 1332 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The extreme fluctuation in the stage of the river varies from about 43 to 64 feet at different localities. Fluctuations below extreme high water are so variable that it is impracticable to fix the stage com- monly referred to on other streams as ordinary high water. The estimate of cost for new work for the section below Nashville, revised in 1935, was $4,832,448, excluding amounts expended on pre- vious projects, and $632,000, chargeable to maintenance work. The estimate of annual cost of operation and maintenance, made in 1909, is $40,000.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1333 Above Nashville.-This provides for the construction of locks and dams Nos. 1 to 17 and No. 21 to secure 6-foot navigation at low water from Nashville (191, miles above the mouth) to Waitsboro Shoals (822 miles) and 4-foot navigation from Waitsboro Shoals to Burn- side (3 miles). The project also provides for the periodic removal of snags and similar obstructions from Nashville to Burnside (325 miles). The project as modified by River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, further provided for raising dam No. 1 by 3 feet (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doec. No. 26, 70th Cong., 2d sess.).

The extreme fluctuation in the stage of the river varies from about 47 to about 71 feet at different localities. Fluctuations below extreme high water are so variable that it is impracticable to fix the stage commonly referred to on other streams as ordinary high water. The estimated cost for new work for the section above Nashville, revised in 1930, is $10,575,183.24. This includes the estimate for locks and dams Nos. 1 to 7 and 21, $2,861,683.24 (already completed), and $7,688,500 for locks and dams Nos. 8 to 17, and $25,000 for raising dam No. 1, in accordance with River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930. RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1335 The estimated cost each of locks and dams Nos. 9 to 17 is given in the table above. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care of locks and dams included in both sections, made in 1936, is $205,000. The estimated cost of snagging operations is $5,000 per annum.

Local cooperation.-Below Nashville: None. Above Nashville: Fully complied with. erm inal facilities.-At Nashville, Tenn., there is a five-story ter- minal building 300 feet long and 140 feet wide, built of reinforced concrete, having large and convenient loading platforms, electric elevator and crane, with railroad connections. At Dover, Tenn., there is a privately owned warehouse with inclined tramway. At Clarksville, Tenn., there is a privately owned warehouse with in- clined tramway. At Fox Bluff, Tenn., there is a terminal which be- longs to the United States, with railroad connections, used for the transfer of Government supplies. Privately owned terminals for the transfer of petroleum products have been constructed at Dover, Clarksville, Ashland City, Nashville, and Carthage, Tenn. There are also privately owned terminals located at Barrett rock quarries, Kentucky, used for the transfer of riprap rock; near Vicksburg, Ky., for the transfer of fluorspar; at Clarksville, Tenn., for the transfer of sand and gravel; and at Nashville, Tenn., for the transfer of sand and gravel and forest products. In addition to the foregoing, there are many unimproved private landings along the river. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fscal year-(a) Cumberland River below Na.s'hville, Tenn-New work.-The work of quarrying and excavating stone to be used as reinforcement below dam E, which was commenced durinlg last fiscal year, was brought to completion. A total of 900 cubic yards of rock was quarried, and 1,846 cubic yards 184626-39--pt. 1, vol. 2- 15 1336 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 was excavated and placed below the dam. Government plant and hired labor were used on this work. The total costs during the year were $20,838.95, and the expenditures were $20,838.95. (b) Cumberland River above Nashville, Tenn.-None. (c) Cumberland River-Maintenance (operating and care).-The 15 locks were operated, and locks, lock structures, and appurtenances were maintained. The pool of dam No. 21 was snagged, and dredg- ing operations in various pools were carried on with Government plant and hired labor. A total of 16,328 cubic yards of sand and gravel was dredged. Shoals surveys were made where required, and navigation aids were maintained in the section below Nashville, Tenn., in cooperation with the United States Lighthouse Service. Locks C and No. 6 were unwatered and repairs were made to lock gates, miter sills, miter and quoin posts, and valves. At lock A concrete steps were built at lower end of lock; at locks B and C in- stallation of floodlights and barge-haulage equipment was com- menced; at lock D concrete steps leading from office quarters down bank to haulage engine were built; at lock E paving behind lock wall and improvements to roads and bridges were made, using Works Progress Administration labor; at lock No. 2 repairs were made to guard wall; and lock No. 4 paving behind lock walls was repaired. The total cost of operating and care during the fiscal year was $278,882.57. The expenditures were $260,156.53. Condition at end of fiscal year--(a) Cumberland River below Nash- Ville, Tenn.-All locks and dams under the existing project have been completed, affording full project depth between the mouth; and Nashville. The total costs and expenditures for this section were $5,094,870.94, including $685,000 from Public Works funds. Of this amount $5,035,801.52 was for new work and $59,069.42 for maintenance. (b) Cumberland River above Nash ville, Tenn.--Under the existing project, locks and dams Nos. 1 to 8, inclusive, and No. 21 have. been completed. The project as a whole is about 40 percent completed. For details of these locks and dams see tables under paragraph "Existing project." The locks and dams provide, at extreme low water, a navigable channel 6 feet deep from lock No. 1 (2.6 miles below Nashville) to Niagara Shoals (140.6 miles above Nashville) ; 6 feet deep from lock No. 21 to Waitsboro Shoals (25 miles) ; and 4 feet deep from Waits- boro Shoals to Burnside, Ky. (4 miles). The expenditures for main- tenance have kept the channel above Nashville fairly free from snags and surface obstructions. The depth at extreme low water over the shoalest part of the reach between the head of pool, lock and dam No. 8, and lock No. 21 (55 miles in Tennessee and 101.9 miles in Kentucky) is about 0.5 foot. In this section 3-foot navigation is practically certain from February 1 to May 1, and usually possible from January 1 to June 1. Four-foot navigation is usually possible from February 1 to May 1, but no period can be fixed during which it is reasonably certain. Navigation for vessels drawing over 4 feet is uncertain at all times. When the Celina gage reads 1 foot, 16-inch navigation is practicable, and for each additional foot of readinig on this gage the navigable depth is increased 0.8 foot. There remains to complete the project the construction of locks and dams 9 to 17 inclusive. RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1337 The total costs and expenditures for this section were $3,831,861, of which $3,725,791.43 was for new work, and $106,069.57 for mainte- nance. (c) Operating and care of locks and dams.-Locks A and No. 1 were operated under the permanent indefinite appropriation from July 1, 1905. Locks B to E and Nos. 2 to 7, inclusive, have been so operated since the dates of their respective completion (see tables under paragraph "Existing project") ; lock F has been so operated since January 1, 1925; lock No. 8, since July 1, 1925; and lock No. 21, since October 20, 1911. Operations were conducted under this appropriation to the end of the fiscal year 1935. The total cost to June 30, 1939, for operating and care from main- tenance and improvement funds was $1,067,193.94. The total expendi- tures were $1,050,625.73. The total cost under the existing project for the entire stream was $9,993,925.88, of which $8,761,592.95 was for new work, including $685,000 Public Works funds, and $1,232,332.93 for maintenance, including $1,067,193.94 for operating and care. The total expenditure was $9,977,357.67, of which $9,292,357.67 was from regular funds and $685,000 from Public Works funds. In addition, the sum of $3,266,705.82 was expended between July 1, 1905, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite: appropriation for such purposes.

TENNESSEE RIVER, TENN., ALA., AND KY. Location.-The Tennessee River is formed by the junction of the French Broad and the Holston Rivers in eastern Tennessee, 4.4 miles above the Gay Street Bridge at Knoxville, flows southwest into north- ern Alabama, thence in a generally westerly course across north Alabama, and from the northeast boundary of Mississippi nearly due north across Tennessee and Kentucky, entering the Ohio River at Paducah, 652.1 miles from the junction of the French Broad and Holston Rivers. See United States post-route maps of Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1 339 (C) Below Riverton: Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of July 25, 1868, September 19, 1890, August 18, 1894, March 3, 1899, and July 25, 1912. For further details see pages 1902 to 1906, Annual Report for 1915, pages 1190-1194, 1196-1216, and 1220-1222, Annual Report for 1929, and page 1216, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.--The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. No. 328, 71st Cong., 2d sess.), authorized the permanent improvement of the river for a navigable depth of 9 feet at low water from the mouth to Knoxville, Tenn., to be obtained by the construc- tion of low dams; provided, that under the provisions of the Federal Water Power Act a high dam with locks may be substituted for any two or more of the low dams and built by private interests, States, or municipalities; and provided further, that in case high dams are built before the United States shall have built the projected locks and low dams which are to be replaced, the United States shall con- tribute to the cost of the substituted structures an amount equal to the estimated cost of the works of navigation for which substitution is made. The estimated cost, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $74,709,000 for new work and $40,000 annually for the maintenance and operation of each lock and dam. The latest pub- lished maps are in the project document. The above-mentioned act also authorized the appropriation of $5,000,000 for the prosecution of work on this project. The only construction performed by the Engineer Department thereunder was the construction of the lock at General Joe Wheeler Dam. No low dams were constructed under this authorization. Under the provisions of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933, approved May 18, 1933 (Public, No. 17, 73d Cong.), as amended by an act approved August 31, 1935, the Tennessee Valley Authority is given power to construct such dams in the Tennessee River as will provide a 9-foot channel and maintain a water supply for same from Knoxville to its mouth. The Tennessee Valley Authority program provides for obtaining the authorized 9-foot project by the construction of high dams and locks and utilization of certain locks and dams previously constructed under the jurisdiction of the Engineer Department.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1341 The functions of the Engineer Department since adoption of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act in 1933 have been those of coopera- tion with the Authority through preparing (with Engineer Depart- ment forces and funds) the designs of locks at Pickwick, Guntersville, and Chickamauga Dams; and, in accordance with the general navi- gation laws placing control and supervision over navigable waters in the:: Secretary of War, the Engineer Department: Operates and maintains all locks, lifts, or other facilities in aid of navigation; maintains navigation channels by performing all necessary dredging and snagging operations; examines and passes upon plans for all bridges, wharves, or other structures in navigable waters prior to construction, including construction plans involving the alteration or modification of existing channels; establishes harbor lines where essential to the preservation and protection of harbors; provides for removal of unlawful structures, including wrecks; cooperates and re- views plans of individuals, corporations, municipal or private, in the improvement of navigable waters at their own expense and risk; issues rules and regulations governing the opening and operation of drawbridges, the transportation and dumping of dredgings or other material into navigable waters; promulgates rules and regulations governing the use, administration, and navigation of navigable waters, including harbors thereof; compiles statistics of water-borne commerce. Local cooperation.--An act of Congress of April 26, 1904 (as amended by an act dated January 7, 1905), authorized the construc- tion by private interests of the Hales Bar Lock and Dam, the power company doing the work being granted the use of the water power produced by the dam for a period of 99 years. The terms of the act require that this company purchase and deed to the United States, free of cost and within 12 months after its passage, all lands necessary to the successful construction and operation of the lock and dam, including flowage rights and rights-of-way to and from public high- ways; that the lock and dam be constructed and given to the United States complete and free of cost, except that the United States shall prepare: the plans, supervise the construction, and provide the lock gates and ironwork and machinery necessary to operate the lock when completed, at its own expense, and that the plans for the work be applroved by the, Secretary of War. The act further requires that the contracting company shall furnish the necessary electric current while its power plant is in operation to move the gates and operate the lock and to light the United States buildings and grounds free of cost to the United States, and that nothing shall be done in the use of the water from the dam or otherwise that shall interfere in any way with navigation. All the conditions imposed by the act have been complied with by the power company except the transfer of flowage rights incident to the construction of the dam. The Department has held that such rights of flowage may be acquired and conveyed in the form of an easement or servitude on the land affected by the work, and it is understood that suits are pending between the power company and landowners covering flowage rights. The construction work of the power company has been completed and the lock put in operation, but several leaks under the dam.have 1342 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 developed, and final acceptance of the lock and dam by the United States is being delayed until the result of the company's efforts to stop them has been determined. The cost to the power company was approximately $6,686,700, not including the powerhouse superstruc- ture, the hydraulic installation, the electric installation, or the trans- mission lines. The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, requires no local cooper- ation in the construction of the alternate system of low dams. It does, however, provide that in case high dams are built before the United States shall have built the projected locks and low dams which are to be replaced, the United States shall contribute to the cost of the substituted structures an amount equal to the estimated cost of the works of navigation for which substitution is made. Terminal facilities.-River terminals with railroad connections, municipally owned, have been constructed at Sheffield, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn., but the other public terminals are mostly unim- proved landings. At Danville, Tenn., there is a privately owned concrete warehouse and gasoline elevator with railroad incline and siding. At Johnsonville, Tenn., there is a privately owned frame warehouse and steam elevator with railroad siding. Railroad in- clines and sidings are available at Sheffield, Decatur, Hobbs Island, Guntersville, and Bridgeport, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn. Pri- vately owned terminals for the transfer of petroleum products have been constructed at Perryville, Tenn., and Sheffield, Decatur, and Guntersville, Ala. In addition to the foregoing there are many un- improved private landings along the river. The facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work (contract).- A contract was entered into with the Dravo Corporation of Pitts- burgh, Pa., for excavating approximately 31,000 cubic yards of rock in the canal section between lock and dam No. 1 and lock No. 2 (Wilson Dam). A total of 8,365 cubic yards was removed, bringing the work to 27 percent of completion at the end of the year. New work (hired labor).-Dredgingoperations were carried on in the canal section between lock and dam No. 1 and lock No. 2 (Wilson Dam) with Government plant and hired labor. A total of 65,523 cubic yards of rock, silt, sand, and gravel was removed. Inspection was made of dredging operations carried on by the Tennessee Valley Authority at Robinson Bar located immediately below Pickwick Landing lock. Maintenance (hired labor) .- Snagging operations in Widows Bar Pool, which were started during the last fiscal year, were completed. A' total of 9,475 snags and other obstructions were removed during the year. The following obstructions in the Guntersville and Gen- eral Joe Wheeler Pools were removed: Bridgeport Island, 12,650 cubic yards of gravel dike; Burns Island, 17,534 cubic yards of gravel dike, clay, and boulders; Burdine Bar, 2,775 cubic yards of rock dike; and Coles Bend Bar, 1,320 cubic yards of rock dike. In addi- tion, miscellaneous surface obstructions were removed in the Gunters- ville pool. Snagging operations were commenced in the section be- tween the site of the proposed Watts Bar Dam and Chattanooga. Shoals surveys were made where required, and navigation aids were installed and maintained in cooperation with the United States Lighthouse Service. RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1343 Maintenance (operating and care).-All locks were operated throughout the year with the exception of Widows Bar lock, which was operated to May 3, 1939, when the use of the lock was no longer necessary because of the pool created by Guntersville Dam. Locks, lock structures, and appurtenances were maintained. At Hales Bar lock the work of installing guard cribs and mooring posts was com- menced; haulage winch and new electric feeder cable were installed. At Guntersville lock new seals were installed in four segmental valves. At lock No. 3, 84 poles in Government telephone line were moved to permit widening of road, haulage winch was installed, and needle dam was fabricated and painted. At Pickwick lock in- stallation of miter guards on upper and lower lock gates was com- menced. During the year Government plant and hired labor were employed in the partial removal of Widows Bar Dam. Work was suspended because of high-water conditions. The total costs during the year were $456,654.98, of which $84,- 760.73 was for new work, $178,566.67 for maintenance, and $193,- 327.58 for operating and care. The expenditures were $453,091. Condition at end of fiscal year.-There were six locks and dams completed, three under construction, leaving one additional to be constructed in order to provide the project depth of 9 feet from the mouth to Knoxville, Tenn. The table under paragraph "Existing project" shows the year of completion of locks and dams now in operation together with pertinent data concerning those under con- struction and those contemplated. Detailed information as. to available depths throughout various reaches of the river follows. Below Pickwick Landing Dam (mile 0 to mile 206.7).-The mini- mum available depth in this 206.7-mile section is 6.8 feet, based on a regulated minimum flow of 15,000 cubic feet per second at the dam. Pickwick Landing Dam to lock and dam No. 1 (mile 206.7 to mile 256.8).-The project depth of 9 feet is available in this section. Lock and dam No. 1 to Wilson Dam (mile 256.8 to mile 259.4).- The minimum available depth in this 2.6-mile section is 6 feet, which occurs at the upper end of the canal. Upon completion of present contract dredging operations scheduled for September 1, 1939, the project depth of 9 feet will be available in this section. Wilson Dam to Hales Bar Lock and Dam (mile 259.4 to mile 431.2).-The minimum available depth in this 171.8-mile section is 7.3 feet. Dredging operations by the Tennessee Valley Authority scheduled for the fiscal year 1940 will provide the project depth of 9 feet in this section. Hales Bar Lock and Dam to Chattanooga (mile 431.2 to mile 464.1).-The minimum available depth in this 32.9-mile section is 8 feet, based on a minimum flat pool corresponding in elevation to the fixed crest of the dam. Above Chattanooga (mile 464.1 to mile 652.1).-The minimum available depth in the 6.9-mile section between Chattanooga and Chickamauga Dam is 2 feet. The minimum available depth over the lower and the temporary upper miter sills at Chickamauga lock is 9.8 and 6 feet, respectively. The minimum available depth in the 58.9- mile section between Chickamauga Dam and the site of the proposed 1344 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Watts Bar Dam is 3 feet. The minimum available depth above the site of the proposed Watts Bar Dam is 0.7 foot at extreme low water. The river is usually navigable for 2-foot draft from De- cember 15 to August 1, and for 3-foot draft from January 1 to June 1. Draft of 4 feet and over is occasionally practicable for short, disconnected periods, during high-water months, from Jan- uary to April, inclusive. When the United States Geological Survey gage at Loudon reads 3.4 feet, 2-foot navigation is practicable, and for each additional foot of reading on this gage 1 additional foot of navigable water depth is available. The completed locks and dams have been operated and maintained under the permanent indefinite appropriation to the end of the fiscal year 1935, as follows: Hales Bar Lock and Dam, since November 1, 1913; Widows Bar Lock and Dam, since October 1, 1925; lock No. 3 (General Joe Wheeler Dam), since November 27, 1934; lock No. 2 (Wilson Dam), since June 1927; and lock and dam No. 1 since March 1, 1926. Subsequent to June 30, 1935, operation and maintenance have been carried on with funds appropriated for the preservation and main- tenance of rivers and harbors, as follows: Chickamauga lock, since October 15, 1937; Guntersville lock, since September 1, 1937; and Pickwick Landing lock, since September 1, 1937. The total cost of the work since the project was modified in 1930 has been $4,743,232.50, of which $2,129,142.85 was for new work, $2,046,221.56, for maintenance, and $567,868.09 for operation and care. The total expenditures were $4,148,287.53. In addition, the sum of $2,889,148.75 was expended between 1890 and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of im- provement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appro- priation for such purposes.

Open-channel work, Ohio River_ - 1363 _-- NOTE.-Flood-control projects in the Ohio River Basin are contained in the reports of the districts included in the Ohio River division. 1. CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS ON THE OHIO RIVER Location.-The Ohio River is formed by the junction of the Alle- gheny and Monongahela Rivers and empties into the Mississippi River at Cairo, Ill. The total length of the river is 981 miles. For description of the river see page 1227, Annual Report for 1932. Pre;vious projects.-The first lock and dam on the Ohio River was provided for by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1879. The con- struction of dams was provided for by river and harbor acts, as follows: Dam No. 6, September 19, 1890; dams Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 5, June 3, 1896; Nos. 13 and 18, March 3, 1899; Nos. 8, 11, 19, and 37, June 13, 1902; No. 26, March 2, 1907. For further details see page 1907 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1233 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing projet.-This provides for the improvement of the entire river by the construction of locks and dams to provide a channel depth of 9 feet and for the widening of the Louisville and Portland Canal at Louisville, Ky. The project provides for one lock with usable dimensions of 110 by 600 feet at each dam, and in addition thereto second locks at the Emsworth, Dashields, Montgomery Island Dams, and dam No. 41, with usable dimensions of 56 by 360 feet, and a second lock at Gallipolis with usable dimensions of 110 by 360 feet. All dams except Emsworth, Dashields, Montgomery Island, and Gallipolis are of the movable type, with navigable passes vary- ing in width from 600 to 1,248 feet. In addition to the navigable pass, each dam, except the fixed dams, is provided with one or more regulating weirs. At dam No. 41 a canal (Louisville and Portland) extends along the left bank 2 miles long, with locks at the lower end. Operation and care of the locks and dams were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appro- priations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. The estimate of cost of new work revised in 1939, including ex- penditures on previous projects prior to adoption of the 9-foot proj- RIVERS AND HARBORS-OHIO RIVER LOCKS AND DAMS 1357 ect in 1910, but exclusive of the Gallipolis locks and dam reported under the Kanawha River project, is $130,700,000, including cost of old structures which have been replaced. The estimate, of annual cost of operation and care of locks and dams, made in 1939, is $3,500,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 Construction of 54 locks with movable dams, widening of IH. Doc. No. 492, 60th Cong., the Louisville and Portland Canal to 170 feet, and a new 1st sess. lock at the lower end. The act also granted discretionary authority to the Secretary of War to make such modifica- tions in the project as appeared advisable. July 18,1918 Elimination of locks and dams in the lower river where the H. Doc. No. 1695, 64th Cong.,. project depth of 9 feet could be satisfactorily maintained 2d sess. by open channel work. Secretary of War authorized to substitute fixed dams for movable dams wherever, in his opinion, they may be desirable. Under the authority granted in the River and Harbor Act of 1910 the Louisville and Portland Canal has been widened to 200 feet; dams Nos. 40 and 42 have been eliminated; locks and dams Nos. 1 and 2 replaced by the Emsworth lock and dam; lock and dam No. 3 replaced by the Dashields locks and dam; and the Montgomery locks and dam replaced locks and dams Nos. 4, 5, and 6.

OPEN-CHANNEL WORK, OHIO RIVER Open-channel work on the Ohio River is in charge of the district engineer in whose district the work is located. For information as to the limits of the four districts on the Ohio River, as well as the district engineers in charge thereof, see pages 1.355 and 1356. The limits shown for construction of locks and dams apply, except that the improvement of the channel of the Ohio River from its mouth to the mouth of the Cache River (Mound City, Ill.), other than by construction of locks and dams, is under the jurisdiction of the Mississippi River Commission. Existing project.-With the completion of the canalization project, the work under the project for open-channel work consists mainly of removing obstructive bars and widening and deepening the channel at the upper ends of pools where necessary in order that the full project depth of 9 feet contemplated by the canalization project may be obtained. After this depth has been obtained it is anticipated that periodic dredging will be required at some localities in order to main- 1364 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 tain such depth. In addition, the depth is being maintained on that section of the river below lock and dam No. 53 by open-channel work. Under the project for open-channel work no project depth had been fixed by Congress, but it was found necessary to properly aid packet and barge navigation, prior to completion of the canalization project, to secure a low-water channel having a minimum depth of from 4 to 6 feet and a width, according to the difficulty of running the channel, of from 400 to 600 feet; and to permit the movement of large coal tows, which movement occurs at stages of water exceeding 10 feet, it has been found necessary to remove the points of projecting bars which form at various points along the river but mainly at the mouths of creeks and other tributaries. The accomplishment of this twofold purpose involves the concentration of current by closing- back channels at islands with low dams, the contraction and straight- ening of wide, open channels by low dikes, the dredging of bars and shoals, and the removal of snags and wrecks. Incidental to the direct improvement of the Ohio is the mainte- nance of existing works, including dikes, dams, and ice piers; also harbor lines below mouth of Big Sandy River. The extreme range of river stages varies from 46.0 feet at Pitts- burgh, Pa., to 80.0 feet at Cincinnati, Ohio, with 57.2 feet at Louis- ville, Ky. (head of the falls), 53.8 feet at Evansville, Ind., and 59.5 feet at Cairo, Ill. (mouth of the river). The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1933, is $17,050,000, which includes $200,000 for bank-protection work near Evansville, Ind., authorized in the 1930 River and Harbor Act. The estimate of annual cost of operating snag boats below the Pennsylvania State line, made in 1936, is $50,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1827 The project adopted by this act originally covered the entire length of the Ohio River from its mouth near Cairo to Pittsburgh, a distance of 981. miles. It provided for the removal of all obstructions which tend to endanger steam- boat navigation. Jan. 21.1927 Construction of ice piers, as a part of the project, with funds i. Doc.

Operation of snag boats on the Ohio River below the Pennsylvania State line was included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provi- sions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927, authorizing the construction of ice piers for general open- channel work, imposes the condition that before work is begun on RIVERS AND HARBORS--OHIO RIVER LOCKS AND DAMS 1365 any ice pier, local interests convey to the United States free of cost such riparian rights as may be deemed necessary in connection with the improvement at the locality. The River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930, authorizing the reforestation of the sloughs on Kentucky Peninsula near Evansville, Ind., and a 200-foot strip along the upstream bank and for bank protection, provides that no expense shall be incurred by the United States for the acquiring of any lands required for the purpose of this improvement. Terminal facilities.-See page 1360. Operations and results during fiscal year.-)redging where re- quired to provide an adequate and dependable channel of project depth at minimum pool conditions was executed. The dikes and bank revetments were maintained and the routine work of maintain- ing navigation aids, making channel studies, and hydrographic sur- veys was performed as required. The specific work accomplished during the year was as follows: Pittsburgh district.-Dredging of 101,415 cubic yards of material from. the channel was accomplished by the U. S. dipper dredge Beaver. In addition, 68,273 cubic yards of material was dredged from the chan'nel by contract. The total cost was $78,352.11, for maintenance. The total expenditures were $87,651.24. Huntington district.-Dredgingof 495,952 cubic yards of material from the channel was accomplished by the U. S. pipe-line dredge Harrisand derrick boats Nos. 43 and 4.9. In addition, 181,390 cubic yards of material was dredged from the channel by contract. The snagging plant of the district removed and disposed of 3,006 snags during the year. The cost was $261,799.45, for maintenance. The total expenditures were $243,675.10. Cin~innati district.-Dredging of 1,731,513 cubic yards of mate- rial from the channel was accomplished by the U. S. pipe-line dredge C. B. Harris and the U. S. dipper dredge Cincinnati. The snagging plant of the district removed and disposed of 1,260 snags, 431 cords of drift, 34 tons of stone, 463 tons of silt, and the wreckages of 12 vessels. The total cost was $435,880.47, for maintenance. The total expenditures were $443,520.86. Louisville district.-Dredging was carried on by hired labor to maintain the project depth at bars where fill occurs after each ex- tended rise in the river, and to improve the channel where necessary to facilitate navigation. The quantity of material excavated was 7,740,490 cubic yards. The snagging plant of the district removed 1,333 snags from the river during the year. The cost was $1,019,- 999.12, for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,008,111.43. The total cost during the fiscal year on the entire river was $1,796,- 031.15, all of which was for maintenance work performed with regu- lar funds. The total expenditures, all from regular funds, were $1.782.958.63. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Dredges and snagging plant were operated throughout the year with a view to providing an adequate and dependable channel 9 feet deep at minimum pool conditions. In general, this channel was maintained. Local stabilization of chan- nel has been effected at various points by construction of dikes and bank revetment. 1366 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 The total cost of existing project to the end of the fiscal year for new work was $12,256,748.86, of which $11,216,512.87 was from regu- lar funds and $1,040,235.99 from Public Works funds. In addition, the cost of maintenance from regular funds was $16,500,607.34, mak- ing a total cost of $28,757,356.20. The total expenditures under the existing project were $28,737,174.83 of which $27,696,938.84 was from regular funds and $1,040,235.99 from Public Works funds. In addition the sum of $1,621,349.38 was expended between Sep- tember 19, 1890, and June 30, 1936, in the operation of snag boats under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

Location.-This river is formed by the junction of the Tygart and West Fork Rivers about 1 mile south of Fairmont, W. Va., and flows. in a northerly direction 128 miles to its junction with the Allegheny River, forming the Ohio River at Pittsburgh, Pa. (See U. S. Geo- logical Survey charts for Pennsylvania and West Virginia.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, June 3, 1896, and June 4, 1897. For further details see page 1910 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1248, Annual Report for 1938. Exmisting project.-This provides for the improvement of the river by 13 locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation for its entire length from Pittsburgh, Pa., to above Fairmont, W. Va. Original locks Nos. 1 to 7, inclusive, were built by the Monongahela Naviga- tion Co. and acquired by the United States in 1897, and original locks 8 to 15, inclusive, were built by the United States prior to 1904; under previous projects, locks 7, 8, and 9 were replaced by RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1369 new locks 7 and 8 in 1925. Increased traffic necessitated an enlarge- ment and improvement of locks and dams Nos. 1 to 6 between Pitts- burgh and Rices Landing, Pa., by the building of two parallel chambers and fixed concrete dams. Original locks and dams 10 to 15, inclusive, are still adequate for the present traffic. Locks and dam No. 1 were eliminated in 1938 by the raising of the Emsworth Dam, Ohio River. The channel width varies from 125 feet in pool No. 15 to full width of river at the mouth. The controlling depth from Pittsburgh, Pa., to lock No. 8 is 9 feet at normal pool level and above lock No. 8 is 7 feet. The total estimated cost of new work, revised in 1935, is $11,500,- 000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The esti- mate of annual cost of operation and care of locks and dams, made in 1936, is $667,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1899 Enlargement and improvement of lock and dam No. 6; Annual Report, 1897, p. 2423. additional works at lock No. 3; new repair steamer and new dredge boat with equipment; all at an estimated cost of $185,556.

Terminal facilities.--Boat landings are maintained by municipali- ties along the river. A large number of tipples at mines and hoists of various types at manufacturing plants are maintained for private use in loading and unloading coal, coke, billets, steel, sand, gravel, oil, acid, etc., but these are not available for the purpose of general commerce. Existing private terminals are adequate for shipments and receipt in the Pitts- burgh district of the type of commerce now in existence. The Glass- port terminal of the American Barge Line Co. affords facilities for limited commerce beyond the capacity of the packet boats not handled through private terminals. The provision of river-to-rail and rail-to- river transfer terminals on an extensive scale is not important, since RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1371 98 percent of traffic using the river passes through private terminals, which are more than adequate for the prospective commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year-New work: None. Operation and care.--All structures were operated and maintained in a serviceable condition throughout the year. In addition to ordi- nary repairs and painting of structures, plant, etc., both lock cham- bers were unwatered at lock No. 2 and repairs made to the miter sills, valves, valve screens, and lock walls. The accumulated silt was removed from the landward lock chamber and repairs were made to the upper lock gates in the riverward lock chamber. At lock No. 3 in the landward lock chamber stems were renewed on eight emptying valves and the lower lock gates replaced. The lower lock gates in the riverward lock chamber were removed and replaced with a set of repaired gates. At lock No. 4, the landward lock valve chambers were unwatered and repairs were made to one 10- by 12-foot filling valve and one 10- by 12-foot emptying valve; the placing of stone protection outside the river wall below the dam and the placing of necessary fill under the apron of the dam was completed with the placement of 2,400 cubic yards of river fill, 545 cubic yards of coarse gravel, 3,419 tons of broken concrete and 315 cubic yards of pea gravel. Approximately 11,000 cubic yards of fill, 2,500 tons of coarse gravel, and 6,000 tons of slag were placed for bank revetment below the abutment of the dam to date. At lock No. 6, both lock chambers were unwatered and repairs made to the miter sills, quoin timbers, and filling and emptying valves. At lock No. 7, the riverward empty- ing valve blade and valve frame were replaced.

ALLEGHENY RIVER, PA.-CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS Location.-This river rises in northern Pennsylvania, flows north- westward into New York, thence generally southwestward to Pitts- burgh, Pa., where it joins with the Monongahela River to form the Ohio. Its length is 325 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts of Pennsylvania and New York unnumbered.) Existing project.-This provides for eight locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation from Pittsburgh, Pa., to above East Brady, Pa., a distance of 72 miles. Lock and dam No. 1 was eliminated in 1938 by the raising of the Emsworth Dam, Ohio River, The con- trolling depth throughout the canalized portion is 9 feet at normal pool level, and the channel width varies from a minimum of 200 feet to full width of river at the mouth. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1939, is $18,750,000. No estimate for maintenance was made. The estimate of annual cost for operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 1936, is $209,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 5,1886 For lock and dam No. 1 (fixed dam contemplated.

OHIO RIVER ABOVE MILE 109, BETWEEN CAPTINA ISLAND AND POWHATAN POINT--CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS For report on this improvement, see page 1356. 4. OHIO RIVER, OPEN-CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement, see page 1363. 5. YOUGHIOGHENY RIVER, PA. Location.-This river, the principal tributary of the Monongahela,, rises in Preston County, W. Va., near the western boundary of Mary- land and flows northwestward 123 miles to McKeesport, Pa., where it empties into the Monongahela River 15.5 miles above its mouth at Pittsburgh, Pa. (See United States Geological Survey charts for Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts approved June 25, 1910, and January 21, 1927. For further details see page 1274, Annual Report for 1929, and page 1261, Annual Report for 1938. 1380 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Existing project.-This provides for the canalization of the river from the mouth to West Newton, Pa., 18 miles, so as to provide a navigable depth of 9 feet by the construction of two locks and dams. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1935, is $4,197,000. There is no approved estimate for annual maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 9, 61st Cong., 2d sess.). The project was modified by the Chief of Engineers September 7, 1934, to provide for two locks and dams in lieu of three locks and dams previously authorized (no printed report). A map of the river is printed in House Document No. 82, Fifty-sixth Congress, first session. The Chief of Engineers is authorized to revise the plans and estimates to meet any changes in conditions. Terminal facilities.-Privately maintained terminals for unloading coal, sand, gravel, manufactured products, etc., ample for present requirements, exist at McKeesport, Pa. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Dredging of 44,963 cubic yards of material from the channel from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa., a distance of approximately 1.3 miles, was accomplished by the U. S. derrickboat Monallo. The total costs dur- ing the fiscal year were $20,520.78, all for maintenance. The total expenditures were $20,543.88. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The effect of pool No. 2, Monon- gahela River, on the dredged channel at the lower portion of the Youghiogheny River, permits of occasional movements at low-water stage from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa., by ves- sels of approximately 9 feet draft. No construction work has been done on the canalization project adopted by the 1930 River and Har- bor Act. The total cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year is $46,503.40, all for maintenance. The total expenditures under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $46,499.64. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance, amounting to $11,- 739.61, will be applied to hired-labor dredging of a 9-foot channel between the mouth and Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa., during June 1940. An additional sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941, to be applied to maintenance dredging of the 9-foot channel, mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa. The relative desirability of the improvement in the interests of commerce and navigation entails the postponement of new work on the canalization project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930.

TYGART RIVER DAM, W. VA. Location.-The Tygart River has its source in Pocahontas County, W. Va., and flows northerly for a distance of about 131 miles to its junction with the West Fork at Fairmont, W. Va., where it forms the head of the Monongahela River. The dam site of the Tygart River Reservoir is located on the Tygart River in Taylor County, 2.25 miles above Grafton, W. Va. Existing project.-The construction of a concrete gravity-type dam was authorized by the Public Works Administration January 11, 1934, and adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935. This dam, 1,880 feet in length at the top and rising 209 feet above the river bed at the spillway section, which is flanked by bulkhead sections 23 feet higher, provides for the storage of 100,000 acre-feet to make up the deficiency of water in the Monongahela River during low rainfall periods and for the additional controlled storage of over 178,000 acre-feet for flood prevention in the Monon- gahela and Ohio Valleys. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1937, is $18,300,000, with $45,000 for annual maintenance and operation. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-The con- struction of the two dam tenders' dwellings and the drilling of 95 test holes into the rock foundation of the dam for seepage studies were completed by contract. The erection of the training-wall fence, core-boring operations, evacuation of two cemeteries, erection of a public sanitary and con.- cession building, erection of a storage building on the right abut.- 1382 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 ment,, building of access roads to the dam and dwellings, construction of nominal facilities for public safety, including walks, paths, road- ways, guard rails and concrete steps, and bank protection work extending for a distance of 150 linear feet from the original riprap limit on both banks below the dam, were completed by hired labor. The structure was operated and maintained in a serviceable condi- tion throughout the year. The total costs were $217,158.71, of which $192,231.92 was for new work and $24,926.79 was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $241,449.22, of which $218,201.84 was for new work and $23.- 247.38 was for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is 99.5 percent com- pleted. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the partial purchase of land and flowage easements, highway dam- ages and relocation, place stone protection along both banks below dam, purchase and install stand-by power plant, construct service road to dam tenders' dwellings, complete construction of sanitary and storage buildings, and complete appurtenances to dam by hired labor. The dam is now in operation as a unit of the reservoir system inh-the Allegheny and Monongahela River Basin for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally.

CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS, OHI00 RIVER For report on this improvement see p. 1356. 2. OHIO RIVER, OPEN CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement see p. 1363. 3. MUSKINGUM RIVER, OHIO Location.-The Muskingum River, 111.75 miles in length, and lying entirely in the State of Ohio, is formed by the junction of the Wal- honding and Tuscarawas Rivers at Coshocton, Ohio, flows in a south- erly direction and empties into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project.-This authorized the taking over, restoration, maintenance, and operation of the State works and plant to provide slack-water navigation between lock No. 1, at Marietta, Ohio, and Dresden, Ohio, a distance of 93 miles. Navigation is afforded by 11 locks and dams and 4 short lateral canals. The maximum depth which it is now possible to maintain without extensive improvement is 4.5 feet, although in certain portions 5.5 feet is available. Above the site of the old lock No. 11 the minimum depth actually main- tained is 2 feet. The navigable depth between lock No. 1 and the mouth, a distance of 0.25 mile, is provided by dam No. 18, Ohio River, and by dredging. RIVERS AND HARBORS-HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1413 The original estimate of cost of restoring the dams taken over from the State of Ohio was $200,000. To this was added later the construction of a new lock and dam No. 11, at a cost of about $143,000, the repair and extension of a levee at dam No. 10, and some minor work, the net total expended from specific appropria-. tions:having been $301,722.53. The estimate of annual cost of op- eration and care of the locks and dams, made in 1937, is $99,500. The construction of a lew lock No. 1 was done in connection with the construction of an ice harbor as part of the Ohio River improve- ment and was not a part of this project. Operating and care of the locks and dams were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act ap- proved June 26, 1934. No map of the river has been published.

Terminal facilitie .- There are numerous public and private land- ings, generally unimproved, at points accessible to the public high- ways, and in a few instances having railroad connections. A dock for loading coal from motortrucks to barges is located at mile 72. Coal shipped from this dock is unloaded at a slip situated at mile 68. Three yards, principally equipped for unloading sand and gravel, are situated at miles 0.1, 0.9, and 76, respectively. Numerous land- ings, not equipped, are used to stock pile sand and gravel for State and county roads. Nine private terminals for handling petroleum products exist on the river. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The locks and dams were operated as required, and the necessary repairs to maintain in serviceable condition were made thereto and to the appurtenant struc- tures. Sufficient dredging was done through bars in the channel and deposit removed from canals, lock chambers, entrances, and ap- proaches to permit the passage of commercial tows. Navigation was suspended at lock 1 on account of extreme high water for 14 days; at lock 4 on account of major repairs, 22 days; and at lock 6 on ac- count of failure of upper guide wall, 38 days. The cost of mainte- nance during the fiscal year was $114,204.46. The expenditures were $117,634.83. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The locks and dams as a whole are in a fair condition considering their age-nearly 100 years. The available depth for navigation is 4.5 feet. The total cost under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $679,987.04, of which $301,722.53 was for new work and $378,264.51 for maintenance. The expenditures were $676,939.81, of which $301,722.53 was for new work and $375,217.28 for maintenance. In addition, the sum of $3,995,- 355.89 was expended between April 7, 1887, and June 30, 1936, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

AND KY., INCLUDING LEVISA AND TUG FORKS Location.-Big Sandy River, 27 miles in length, is formed by the junction of the Levisa and Tug Forks at Louisa, Ky., flows an a northerly direction, and empties into the Ohio River at Catlettsburg, Ky. Levisa Fork, 160 miles in length, rises in southwestern Vir- ginia= and flows in a general northerly direction; and Tug Fork, 154 miles in length, rises in southwestern West Virginia and flows in a general northwesterly direction. Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of July 18, 1878, June 14, 1880, and July 13, 1892. For further details see Annual Report for 1915, page 1929, and Annual Report for 1938, page 1318. Existing project.-This provides for three locks and dams on the main river, two locks and dams each on Levisa Fork and Tug Fork, and regulating works below lock No. 1, reaching to the Ohio River. Only the three locks and dams on the main river and the lower lock and dam on each fork have been constructed. The existing improve- ment gives a connection with pool formed by dam No. 29, Ohio River, a slack-water depth of 6 feet from the Ohio River to Louisa, Ky., 27 miles, and thence to Cox Branch on Levisa Fork and to Bear Branch on Tug Fork, 17.5 and 12.5 miles, respectively, above Louisa. The clearing of the forks above slack-water limits to Pikeville on Levisa Fork and to Pond Creek on Tug Fork is also included in the project. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1928, is $2,256,800. The estimated cost of operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 1936, is $33,000 annually. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 14,1880 Lock and fixed dam near Louisa, Ky___ July 13,1892 Substitution of a movable dam at lock near Louisa, Ky_ .__ H.

Recommended modifications of project.-Recommendation was made September 8, 1914, that the slack-water improvement of the Tug and Levisa Forks be discontinued (H. Doc. No. 1159, 63d Cong., 2d sess.). Terminal facilities.-Terminal facilities consist of two privately owned terminals, one at Kenova, WV. Va., and one at Leach, Ky. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The locks and dams were operated as required and necessary repairs made thereto and to the appurtenant structures. The cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $20,605.39. The expenditures were $22,180.90. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The locks and dams are in fair condition. The 6-foot slack-water depth is available for about 7 miles above the mouth. Above this point the slack-water depth is reduced to 4 feet. For details of locks and dams see table under paragraph "Existing project." The total cost under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $1,396,783.56, of which $1,205,- 804.92 was for new work and $190,978.64 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,395,557.14. In addition, the sum of $1,002,273.16 was expended between January 1897 and June 30, 1938, on the opera- tibn and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

MUSKINGUM RIVER VALLEY RESERVOIRS, OHIO Location.-The Muskingum River Valley lies in southeastern Ohio, and the river, with its tributaries, drains approximately 8,000 square miles. Its headwaters rise about 25 -miles south of Lake Erie and it flows into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project.-Under the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act the Public Works Administration made an allotment of $22,090,000 to aid in financing the construction of 14 reservoirs and for stream-channel improvement, by straightening, widening, and deepening the stream and construction of walls and levees, and other works incident thereto, in the Muskingum Valley of eastern Ohio. The construction of 15 reservoirs was originally authorized by the Public Works Administration February 20, 1934, and one reservoir (Freeport) was eliminated and the stream-channel im- provement of the Tuscarawas River at Massillon, Ohio, authorized RIVERS AND HARBORS-HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1429 February 8, 1935 (amended official plan approved by the Chief of Engineers May 16, 1935). An additional amendment of the official plan, providing for a change in the right-of-way of the relocated Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in the Bolivar Reservoir, was approved by the Chief of Engineers August 19, 1936, and on May 13, 1937, the conservancy court further approved the elimination of stream- channel improvement of the Tuscarawas River at Massillon, Ohio, from the official plan (approved by the Chief of Engineers, July 9, 1937). A further amendment of the official plan to provide for the elimination of the Sandyville levee was approved by the Chief of Engineers, February 2, 1938. Additional allotments of $3,500,000 and $1,600,000 were made on February 13, 1936, and July 23, 1937, respectively, by the Public Works Administration, to cover the in- creased costs of the reservoirs and local protective works and to cover the acquisition of land or flood easements from the Muskingum water- shed conservancy district of Ohio. The allotments were made on the application of the Muskingum watershed conservancy district, which has agreed to furnish rights-of-way, flowage rights, and other expenses not directly involved in the actual construction of the reser- voirs and local protective works. The Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, authorized and directed the Secretary of War to reimburse the Muskingum conserv- ancy district in Ohio, a sum not to exceed th actual expenditures made by it in acquiring lands, easements, and ights-of-way for reservoirs in the Muskingum River Valley, but such reimbursements shall not exceed $4,500,000, nor include any expenditures for lands, easements, and rights-of-way heretofore or hereafter purchased from said district by the United States. Under this authorization $1,500,000 was allotted June 29, 1939, from the War Department Appropriation Act of June 28, 1939. The Flood Control Act approved August 11, 1939, contained the provision that the Muskingum River Valley dams and reservoirs as set forth in the official plan of the Muskingum watershed con- servancy district shall be included in the flood-control plan for the Ohio River Basin authorized in section 4 of the Flood Control Act approved4-une 28, 1938, and that the provisions of section 2 of the latter act shall apply to those dams and reservoirs. The total estimated cost of the project to the Government, exclud- ing the cost to the Muskingum watershed conservancy district, and exclusive of reimbursements to the Muskingum conservancy district is $27,190,000. The project includes the construction of 14 reservoirs and stream- channel improvement, the principal features of which are as follows: Reservoir Elevations M. S. L.

S. ARMY, 1939 Local cooperation.-Underan agreement entered into on March 29, 1934, as amended February 8, 1935, between the Public Works Ad- ministration and the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District the district agreed to contribute to the cost of the project by making available and expending the sum of $12,000,000. This contribution was to include title in the district to all necessary lands and easements, the cost 'of appraisals and other administrative and legal expenses, and the expense (including construction costs) of all necessary relo- cations and vacations of public highways. The conservancy district further agreed to maintain, operate, and protect the completed proj- ect, and that operation should be in such manner as in the judgment of the Chief of Engineers will best serve the interests of navigation and flood control on the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers. It also agreed to save the United States harmless from all claims for damages aris- ing from the construction, maintenance, and operation of the project. Since the total of the conservancy district's expenditures and commit- ments as of January 1, 1936, were less than $12,000,000, the amount stipulated in the agreement, the conservancy district has agreed to make available and expend or cause to be expended in the suc- ceeding 2 years an amount not less than the difference between said total and said sum of $12,000,000, if and to the extent that the Chief of the Corps of Engineers shall deem such expenditures necessary for the accomplishment of the project and official plan and property to be contributed by the conservancy district. Under the modification contained in the Flood Control Act ap- proved August 11, 1939. section 2 of the Flood Control Act appfioved June 28, 1939, now applies to this project.

OHIO RIVER, OPEN CHANNEL WORK (For report on this improvement see p. 1363.) 3. KENTUCKY RIVER, KY. Location.-The Kentucky River is formed by the confluence of its north and middle forks about 4 miles east of the town of Beattyville in east central Kentucky, the south fork joining the main stream at that, place. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for State of Ken- tucky; scale, 1: 500,000.) Existing project.-The project provides for 14 locks and fixed dams to give, in connection with the improvement of the Ohio River, slack- water navigation of 6 feet minimum depth from the Ohio River to points on the three forks a short distance above Beattyville, Ky. The total length of pool water of 6-foot project depth is about 263 miles. Thl river frequently rises to a height of 50 feet in the lower part and 30' feet in the upper part. The extreme height due to floods from Ohio River backwater is 75 feet at Lock No. 1, and occasional floods exceed 40 feet in the upper pools. The original estimate of cost, which contemplated the rehabilitation of the five State locks and dams and the extension of slack water to the three forks at Beattyville, was $1,074,402, revised later to $4,865,- 550 for its completion. The estimated cost of operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 1936, is $172,500 annually. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1879, in accordance with the report published in House 1456 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Executive Document No. 47, Forty-fifth Congress, third session (An- nual Report 1879, p. 1398). Operation and care of the locks and dams were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act, approved June 26, 1934. No map of the river has been published. The following statement shows the characteristics of the several locks and dams in this project: Lock Location Dimensions Great- Depth When No. com- Cost aest avail- Lift of on lower Founda- pleted Miles Clear able mitertion Nearest town from width length sill mouth (full width of lock) Feet Feet Feet Feet 11 Carrollton, Ky.... 4. 0 38 145 8. 2 14. 8 Rock and clay. 12 Lockport, Ky--.... 31. 0 38 145 13. 9 6. 1 Rock __--_ 1882 $1,350,384.86 13 Gest, Ky ----------- 42.0 38 145 13. 2 -- 6.5 _do---. 14 Frankfort, Ky ... .. 65. 0 g8 145 13. 2 7.4 do - ---- 15 Tyrone, Ky .... ... 82. 2 38 145 15. 0 6.4 do --- 2 1886 16 Versailles, Ky-- .... 96. 2 52 147 14. 0 6.4 Rock and 1894 314, 846.70 piles.

Cost is given for repairs by United States only. 4 Fixed dam, concrete construction. 5 Fixed dam, concrete construction, movable crest. Terminal facilities.-Practicallyno terminal facilities exist for gen- 1ial merchandise and miscellaneous freight. At and near Beattyville and Ravenna large tanks are located for the storage of oil which was formerly shipped in barges by the river. Tanks for receiving gasline are located at Carrollton, Frankfort, and Camp Nelson, Ky. Six in- clines for receiving coal, two chutes for delivering coal, two inclines for receiving logs, one derrick and incline for receiving sand and gravel, one conveyor for shipping and one crane for receiving sand; gravel, etc., all small in character and mostly used intermittently only, are located at various points on the river. Operations and results during fiscal year-Operation and care.-- The locks and necessary plant were maintained in satisfactory condi- tion. Traffic was suspended temporarily at lock No. 3 while repairs were in progress. There were also temporary interruptions to traffic caused by high water. The full project depth of 6 feet was not main- tained during extreme low-water periods in the upper ends of the pools of dams Nos. 12 and 13. These dams formerly had movable A-frame crests which increased the pool heights 2 feet. The A-frame crests and RIVERS AND HARBORS-CINCINNATI, OHIO, DISTRICT 1457 :anchorages were removed as there was no navigation in the pools requiring the full project depth of the channel. Sufficient dredging was done through bars in the channel, and de- posit removed from lock chambers, entrance and approaches, to permit the passage of commercial tows. The major items of maintenance of lock structures were repairs to the valves in the upper and lower gates aiid' installation of upper cofferdam sill at lock No. 3. The cost of maintenance work was $177,462.57. The total expendi- tures for the year were $186,068.35. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1917 at a saving of $689,910 under the estimated cost. The work :accomplished under the project has been the rehabilitation of the five old State locks and dams and the construction of new locks and dams Nos. 6 to 14. The year of completion of the various locks and dams is given in the table in the paragraph "Existing project." The condition of the works varies for the individual structures. The limestone lock walls at locks Nos. 1 to 8, inclusive, are in fair condition. Many of the face stones in the walls have spalled con- siderably, and the mortar between the stones is out in many places. The conditions of the concrete-capped, stone-filled timber-crib dams at locks Nos. 1 to 8 vary from fair to poor. The dams are settling in pla.s:and some of the concrete caps are cracked and considerably eroded. 'The remaining locks and dams, Nos. 9 to 14, inclusive, are of concrete construction and the masonry is generally in good condition. Locks Nos. 8 and 9 are difficult to operate on account of large leakages through crevices and seams in the limestone foundations of the lock walls. The condition of the lock gates, valves, and other appurtenances is fair. The concrete guide and guard walls and piers at the locks are mostly founded on stone-filled timber cribs and are generally in poor condition. Due to deterioration of the supporting cribs, most 'of these walls and piers are settling and leaning and some actual fail- ures have occurred. The channel and the locks and dams are in fair condition. The total cost on this project to the end of the fiscal year was $4,722,788.65, of which $4,176,749.05 was for new work and $546,039.60 for maintenance (operation and care). The expenditures were $4,713,78210. In addition the sum of $6,405,371.78 was expended be- tween July 5, 1884, and June 30, 1937, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent in- definite appropriation for such purposes.

IRONTON, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location.--On the right bank of the Ohio River at Ironton, Ohio. The upstream end of the project is about 324.5 miles below Pitts- burgh, Pa. Existing project.-The existing project provides for the construc- tion of earth levees and concrete flood walls to protect Ironton against Ohio River floods to a stage equivalent to that of the 1937 flood (the maximum of record)... with a 3-foot freeboard. The length of the project is approximately 7.4 miles, extending along the Ohio River front for the entire length between the Ironton corporate limits. RIVERS AND HARBORS--CINCINNATI, OHIO, DISTRICT 1461 The sestimated cost of the project for new work, revised in 1939, is $3,360,500 for construction and $669,000 for rights-of-way and damages. The project has been selected for construction under the general basin authorization contained in the Flood Control Act approved August 28, 1937. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. The require- ments are being fulfilled. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Field surveys and foun- dation investigations pertinent to construction and inspection were in progress. Construction was continued during the fiscal year. Ap- proximately 12,503 lineal feet of earth-fill levee and 2,684 lineal feet of-concrete wall were completed. Two closure gates, located within the protection reach, were completed and a third was nearing comple- tion. Supply contracts were let, as was a contract for reinforcing the Pine Street sewer, transforming it to a pressure conduit. The cost of new work during the year was $656,657.71, of which $638,216.88 was from regular funds and $18,440 83 was from emergency relief funds. The expenditures were $725,037.34 of which $701,626.42 was from regular funds and $23,410 92 was from Emergency Relief funds. All of the work performed through June 30, 1939, with the exception of the reinforcing of the Pine Street sewer, was accomplished with hired labor. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-At the end of the fiscal year the project was about 38 percent complete. Approximately 12,800 lineal feetiof~iearth-fill levee, 2,684 lineal feet of concrete wall, and two closure gates had been completed. Partial reinforcing of the Pine Street sewer had also been completed. The work which remained to be completed consisted of the construction of about 18,000 lineal feet of earth-fill levee, about 3,150 lineal feet of concrete wall, and appurtenant works. The total cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year, all new work, was $766,735.98 of which $694,583.12 was from the regular funds and $72,152 86 was from Emergency Relief funds. The total expenditures were $884,842.1.7 of which $812,689.31 was from regular funds and $72,152.86 was from Emergency Relief funds.

GREEN, BARREN, AND NOLIN RIVERS AND BEAR CREEK, KY. Location.-Green River rises in Casey County, Ky., flows in a northwesterly direction 370 miles, and empties into the Ohio River :about 8 miles above Evansville, Ind. Barren River rises in Monroe County, Ky., flows in a northwesterly direction 130 miles, and empties into Green River one-half mile :above lock No. 4 and 149.5 miles above the mouth of Green River. Bear Creek rises in Grayson County, Ky., flows in a southerly direction 40 miles, and empties into Green River 0.3 mile above new lock No. 5 and 168.4 miles above the mouth of Green River. Nolin River rises in Larue County, Ky., flows in a southwesterly direction about 105 miles, and empties into the Green River 1.8 miles above lock No. 6 and 183.5 miles above the mouth of Green River. Existing project.-This provides for the purchase of improve- ments made prior to 1884 by the State of Kentucky, consisting of locks and dams Nos. 1 to 4, Green River, and No. 1, Barren River, which gave a continuous 4-foot depth for navigation from Bowling Green, on the Barren River, to the mouth of Green River; the recon- struction of lock No. 2, Green River; the upstream extension of slack- water navigation on Green River to Mammoth Cave, Ky., by the construction of locks and dams Nos. 5 and 6 and by the removal of snags and slides; the construction of new locks at dam No. 1, Barren River, and at dam No. 5, Green River; the raising of the crest of 1484 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 dam No. 5, Green River, 2 feet, by means of a movable A-frame top;- the improvement of Nolin River by the removal of obstructive bars,. boulders, overhanging rocks, and snags; and the improvement of Bear Creek by removing snags and widening the bends. The project for Green River extends from the mouth to Mammoth Cave, Ky., a distance of 197.8 miles; for Barren River from the mouth to Bowling Green, Ky., a distance of 30.1 miles; for Nolin River from the mouth to Meredith Ferry, a distance of 73/4 miles; and for Bear Creek, Ky., for a distance of 8 miles above its mouth. The navigable depth in the improved portions is limited to 5 feet by the elevations of the existing lock miter sills. Fluctuations in stage vary considerably at the different locks. At lock No. 3, Green River, ordinary fluctuations due to high stages are from 12 to 15 feet above the pool level, and at lock No. 1, Barren River, from 7 to 10 feet above pool. The maximum stages of record are 34 feet above normal pool stage at lock No. 3, Green River, and 29 feet at lock No. 1, Barren River. These stages were obtained during the floods of 1937 and 1913, respectively. The principal data concerning the locks and dams are shown in the following table: Location Greatest length Depth Depth Lock and Width of lock Lift at on lower on upper Distance of lock normal miter sill miter sill dam from available Nearest town mouth of chamber for full pool at normal at normal width pool level pool level river GREEN RIVER Miles Feet Feet Feet Feet Feet N o. 1 ----- At Spottsville, Ky ........... 9. 1 35. 5 139.0 111. 1 9. 7 6. 7 No. 2 ----- At Rumsey, Ky 63.1 36. 0 141.0 14. 3 5.5 7.8 No. 3 --- At Rochester.

For map of the Green, Barren, and Rough Rivers, see H. Doc. No. 81, 73d Cong., 1st sess. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides that in connection with the improvement of Bear Creek, Ky., local interests are to contribute $10,000 to the first cost of the dredging, provide necessary rights-of-way at the bends, furnish with- out cost to the United States satisfactory areas for the disposal of excavated material, and assume all flowage damages along Bear Creek. These conditions have not been met. The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, provides that local interests provide any land or easements required for the purpose of the improvement of Nolin River. Local interests have been unable to obtain easements required for the removal of overhanging rock ledges at Whistle Mountain. Terminal facilities.-There are nine terminals on Green River, three of which are for petroleum products, three for handling coal, two for receipt of logs, and one for repair of boats and barges. On the Barren River there are three terminals, all of which are located 1486 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 at Bowling Green, Ky. They consist of one for the transfer of asphalt from barge to railroad, one for petroleum products, and one for coal. There is also one privately owned paved wharf at Bowling Green. Terminals on Nolin River consist of one conveyor for load- ing asphalt and one land derrick for unloading coal. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work during the fiscal year consisted of the operation and care of the seven locks and dams in the Green and Barren Rivers at a cost of $57,623.16, and the main- tenance of the channel in the pools of the dams at a cost of $28,033.62, a total of $85,656.78. The expenditures were $87,622.29. All work was done with regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The canalization system on Green and Barren Rivers is in only fair condition except lock No. 1, Barren River, and lock and dam No. 5, Green River, which are new. The controlling navigable depth in the sections covered by the exist- ing project was 5.5 feet at the end of the fiscal year. New work on the Green and Barren Rivers was completed in 1934. The new work remaining to be done consists of removing overhanging rock ledges at Whistle Mountain on Nolin River provided for by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, and the improvement of Bear Creek provided for by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930.

Location.-This stream is one of the principal tributaries of Green River and lies wholly within the State of Kentucky. It rises in Hardin County, flows westerly 136 miles, and empties into Green River at Livermore, 71 miles from the mouth of that river. (See U. S. Geological Survey Charts, Kentucky Quadrangles: Central City, Hartford, Whitesville.) Existing project.-This provides for clearing the river of obstruc- tions and for the construction of a lock and dam to carry slack water to Hartford, Ky. The new work provided for having been com- pleted, the project now contemplates the maintenance of the lock and dam and keeping the river channel free from snags and other obstructions to navigation. At the lock the ordinary fluctuations due to floods vary from 6 to 10 feet above pool level. During the flood of 1937 a stage of about 26 feet above pool stage was reached. The location and principal dimensions, etc., of the lock are as follows : Name: Lock No. 1, Rough River.

TRADEWATER RIVER, KY. Location.-Thisriver is a tributary of the Ohio River lying wholly within the State of Kentucky. It rises in Christian County, flows in a northwesterly direction, and empties into the Ohio River near Caseyville, Ky., at a point 104 miles from the mouth and 77 miles below Evansville, Ind. (See U. S. Geological Survey, Kentucky quadrangles: Shawneetown, Morganfield, Providence, Dawson Springs, Princeton, and Cave in Rock.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. For further details see Annual Report for 1899, page 445 and Annual Report for 1938, page 1365. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 9 feet deep at pool stage from the mouth of the Tradewater River to the tipple of the Bell Coal & Navigation Co., a distance of 3 miles, at an estimated cost of $2,500, with $500 annually for maintenance. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 5, 70th Cong., 1st sess.). An index map of the river is published in House Docu- ment No. 39, Sixty-third Congress, first session, and the latest pub- lished map is in House Document No. 479, Seventy-first Congress, second session. Terminal facilities.-There is a coal tipple at a point 3 miles above the mouth. This is adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work during the fiscal year consisted of making a hydrographic survey of the shoal areas in the improved portion of the river. The total cost and expenditures during the fiscal year were $1,070.77 from regular funds for main- tenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1931. At the end of the fiscal year a slack-water channel with a 50-foot width was available in the improved portion of the river for barges with a 7-foot draft. The river is approximately 100 feet in width. The costs to the end of the fiscal year were $2,500 for new work and $6,070.77 for maintenance, a total of $8,570.77. The total expenditures were $8,570.77. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, including accounts receivable on June 30, 1939, will be applied to clearing the channel by hired labor when needed. The additional sum of $500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941 to be applied to channel clearing.

The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water level are from 3 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 6 feet above to 2.5 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $2,690,000 (including $275,000 contributed by local interests), exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $28,000.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of May 25, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide for the maintenance by the United States RIVERS AND HARBORS --BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1721 of the bay channel to a depth of 22 feet from the turning basin northward about 3,540 feet, that portion opposite the dock to a width of 350 feet and north thereof to a. width of 400 feet; thence 300 feet wide and 22 feet deep northeastward about 7,700 feet, parallel to and about 2,800 feet north of the dock channel to junction with the straight channel; for the elimination from the existing project on the northwest portion of the turning basin occupied by the Penn- sylvania Railroal Co.'s new dock, including a 50-foot strip easterly therefrom, and the westerly end of the rock dike removed by the railroad company, at an estimated annual cost of $12,000 in addition to that now required; subject to certain conditions of local coopera- tion (H. Doc. No. 328, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is an extensive coal terminal adjacent to the turning basin at the westerly end of the dock channel open to shippers of coal. Local interests have dredged a channel from the turning basin northward about 3,500 feet thence eastward paral- lel to and about 2,800 feet from the dock channel to a junction with the straight channel through Sandusky Bay. Located on the dock channel are 12 private terminals for the handling of stone, sand and gravel, fish, miscellaneous freight, and passengers. The city of San- dusky owns a pier and 2 small boat basins. The facilities are con- sidered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 8, 1932, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and' results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 68,729 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the channels and basin at a cost of $20,729.61 and repaired 50 linear feet of the east jetty at a cost of $249.93. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $20,979.54 and the total expenditure was $20,461.39. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935. The protecting works are generally in good condi- tion. The jetty requires repairs where settlement has taken place. The controlling depth in the channels and basin is 21 feet at low- water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $3,218,821.29 of which $2,597,258.21, including $599,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $621,563.08 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,218,159.24 including $599,500 Public Works funds. In addition, $325,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work.

Existing project.-This provides for a pier 3,170 feet long on the west side of the entrance channel, the shoreward 1,970 feet consisting of timber cribs with concrete superstructure and the remaining 1,200 feet of a rubble-mound construction, with a timber-crib concrete superstructure pierhead at its outer end; for a rubble-mound east breakwater 1,450 feet long, with a concrete light foundation at its outer end, founded on the rubber-mound; for a steel-sheet pile shore protection extending 200 feet westerly from near the shoreward end of the west pier; for a channel with a depth of 26 feet in hard mate- rial and 25 feet in soft material extending from deep water in the lake to the south side of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway Co.'s slip No. 1, at the entrance of the river, the channel to be 400 feet wide in the lake and 300 feet wide inward of the outer pierhead, narrowing to 250 feet at the head of the channel; and for the enlarge- ment but not maintenance of the turning basin, 19 feet deep, opposite the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway Co.'s ore dock. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water level are from 3 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 5.5 feet above to 2.5 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1935, is $1,152,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $12,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and har- bor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1905 Extension of west pier; construction of east breakwater; H. Doc.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Termvinal faciities.-The Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway Co. has deepened and maintained the channel above the limits of the Federal 1724 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 improvement. This company has a dock with a frontage of over 1 mile, which affords facilities for handling iron ore, coal, sand, and limestone, together with dock space for lumber, etc. Two fish docks are private. The town of Huron owns a dock at the foot of South Street which is open to the public. The facilities are regarded as adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 8, 1932, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 104,775 cubic yards of material from the en- trance channel at a cost of $18,790.03 for maintenance. The expendi- ture was $18,573.35. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 85 percent completed. Deepening the channel to 25 feet in soft mate- rial was completed in 1937. Deepening the channel to 26 feet in hard material remains to be done to complete the project. The east rubble-mound breakwater and 1,970 feet of the west pier were com- pleted in 1908, except the extension to shore to close the breach, which was completed in 1914. The extension of the west pier 1,200 feet, removing the outer end of the east breakwater, widening the river, and enlarging the turning basin were completed in 1935. The old east pier was removed in 1919. The superstructure on 1,190 feet of the west pier was renewed with concrete in 1925. Settlement of the outer concrete section of the west pier and the old west pierhead was checked by repairs made in 1922. The riprap protection at the inner end of the west pier was repaired and extended in 1929, and 200 feet of steel sheet pile shore protection, extending westerly from the rip- rap, was completed in 1934. The harbor works are in good condition. The controlling depth in the channel is 24 feet, low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $1,335,546, of which $976,326.55, including $561,251.52 Public Works funds was for new work and $359,219.45 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $1,335,329.32, including $561,251.52 Public Works funds.

VERMILION HARBOR, OHIO Location.-This harbor is located at the mouth of Vermilion River, which empties into Lake Erie at a point 37 miles by water westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 35.) Existing project.-This provides for two parallel piers, 125 feet apart, with an aggregate length of 2,200 feet, extending from the shore at the mouth of the river to a natural depth of 10 feet in the lake, and dredging a channel 100 feet wide and 12 feet deep below low-water datum between the piers and beyond them to deep water in the lake. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water level are from 3 feet above to zero low-water datum, 1726 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 and extreme fluctuations produced by wind or other causes are from 5 feet above to 2 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1903, was $127,692. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000.

ROCKY RIVER HARBOR, OHIO Location.-This harbor is located at the mouth of Rocky River, which empties into Lake Erie at a point 7 miles westerly from Cleve- land, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 35.) Existing project.-This provides for an east entrance pier 900 feet in length, and an entrance channel 100 feet wide and 10 feet deep extending from that depth in the lake to a point 600 feet inside the inner end of the pier. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, =which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinarily fluc- tuations of water level are from 3 feet above to zero, low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations produced by wind and other causes are from 4.5 feet above to 1 foot below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $81,600. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 10, 1872 East pier and dredging of channel_ __ Annual Report, 1871, p. 211. Aug. 26,1937 Extension of east pier and deepening of channel to H. Doc. No. 70, 75th Cong., 1st sess. present project dimensions. (contains latest published map). Local cooperation.-TheRiver and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, provides that the extension of the pier shall not be undertaken until local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide a suitable landing with adequate service facili- ties and highway connection, open to the users of the waterway on equal terms to all. This condition has not been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is no commercial navigation at Rocky River. The terminal facilities consist of private docks for pleasure boats. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor deepened the entrance channel to project depth at a cost of $3,597.08. Government plant and hired labor did preliminary work in connection with the proposed extension of the east river pier at a cost of $1,702.51. The total cost of new work for the year was $5,299.59 and the total expenditure was $5,279.71. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 48 percent completed. The existing portion of the east pier was com- pleted in 1875. The channel was deepened to 10 feet at low-water datum in 1939. The extension of the pier to a total length of 900 feet as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, remains to be done to complete the project. The existing portion of the pier is in need of minor repairs. The controlling depth in the channel is 10 feet at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $57,326.02, of which $38,909.59 was for new work and $18,416.43 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $57,306.14. 1732 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the year, $6)74.30, with the exception of $19.88 for payment of outstand- ing liabilities, is available for revocation. It is considered desirable to extend the east pier to complete the project. Dredging the channel is required periodically.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1733 6. CLEVELAND HARBOR, OHIO Location. On the south shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River, 176 miles westerly from Buffalo, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 354.) Previous projects.-Adopted by acts of March 3, 1825, June 23, 1866, March 3, 1875, August 5, 1886, and August 11, 1888. For fur- ther details see page 1962 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1585 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) Outer harbor 5 miles long and 1,600 to 2,400 feet wide, enclosed by a breakwater system, comprising an east breakwater 21,270 feet long, with a pierhead at its easterly end, of which 3,300 feet is of timber-crib substructure with stone superstructure and 17,970 feet of rubble-mound construction, and a west breakwater connected with the shore, 6,048 feet long, of timber cribs with concrete superstructure with a gap of 201 feet about 662 feet from the shore end. (b) A rubble-mound spur breakwater 400 feet long to protect the gap in the west breakwater shore arm. (c) A main entrance 700 feet wide between arrowhead rubble- mound breakwaters extending 1,250 feet lakeward from the 850-foot opening between the main breakwaters, with timber-concrete pier- heads at their lakeward ends. (d) Two parallel stone-filled timber-crib piers with concrete super- structure, 325 feet apart, at the mouth of Cuyahoga River; the east pier 1,602 feet long and the west pier 1,440 feet long. (e) A stone-filled wooden-pile wharf with concrete superstructure, and a reinforced-concrete storehouse at the foot of East Ninth Street in the outer harbor. (f) A depth of 19 feet, with provisional dredging to 23 feet, east- erly from a line drawn perpendicular to the east main breakwater, beginning 800 feet easterly from the westerly end thereof, and a depth of 25 feet westerly from that line. (g) An entrance channel, 25 feet deep, through the outer harbor and between the piers up to the New York Central swing bridge. (h) Maintaining the channels in Cuyahoga and Old Rivers to depth of 21 feet and of such width as is practicable without dredging closer than 40 feet to existing bulkheads except where necessary at bends, extending in Cuyahoga River from below the New York Cen- tral bridge, the upstream limit of the 25-foot project, southward to a point about 2,000 feet upstream from the Clark Avenue Viaduct, a distance of about 51/4 miles, with a turning basin 18 feet deep about three-fourths of a mile below the project limit, and in Old River from its junction with the Cuyahoga River westward a distance of about 1 mile, and for the improvement to a depth of 21 feet of the channels described above by easing the bends and widening the chan- nels, by dredging only, in specified areas. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is taken at 570.5 feet above mean tide level at New York. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 3 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations produced by wind and other causes are from 4.5 feet above to 1 foot below that plane. 1734 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1939, is $6,507,500. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $175,000.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of March 15, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide for a turning basin 21 feet deep, with a maximum width of about 700 feet, and extending about 780 feet up- stream from the existing project limit in Cuyahoga River, no dredg- ing to be done within 40 feet of existing bulkheads, at an estimated first cost of $191,000 with $3,000 annually for maintenance in addi- tion to that now required, subject to certain conditions of local coop- eration. (H. Doc. No. 232, 76th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation.-Widening of the channels in the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers is subject to the conditions that local interests defray RIVERS AND HARBORS -BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1735 all cost of the modification or rebuilding of bridges, bulkheads, other structures and submarine crossings, grant easements free of cost to the United States for all lands required, and relieve the United. States from all damages; provided further that when the above conditions are complied with in any of the prescribed cuts of the channels to be widened, the United States will undertake the dredg- ing thereof. These conditions have been complied with and approved June 2, 1939, for dredging the partial cut 3A just downstream from the lower Baltimore & Ohio Railroad bridge. Conditions for dredging of all other cuts have not been complied with. All other conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are approximately 40 terminals for the handling of various types of cargoes the most important of which are iron ore, steel products, coal, scrap, cement, sand and gravel, grain, petroleum products, and sulphur. In general, the terminals op- crated by the railroads, which include 2 of the iron ore and 2 of the coal terminals, are open to shippers of the commodities handled. The city of Cleveland owns 2 terminals which are leased to vessel lines for miscellaneous freight and passenger ter- minals. The United States Engineer Department owns a wharf at the foot of East Ninth Street which is private. The facilities are con- sidered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 5, 1931, Corps of Engineers.) Operationsand results during fiscal year-New work.-Government plant and hired labor did preliminary work in connection with con- tract for widening Cuyahoga River just downstream from the lower Baltimore & Ohio Railroad bridge at a cost of $1,395.10. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 299,726 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the outer harbor and entrance channel at a cost of $53,394.44 and repaired 110 linear feet of breakwater at a cost of $2,816.65. Maintenance of Cuyahoga and Old Rivers by contract was continued and 243,315 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost for the year of $97,145.90. The total cost for the year was $154,752.09, of which $1,395.10 was for new work and $153,356.99 for maintenance. The total expendi- ture was $166,200.89. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 89 percent completed. The river entrance channel has been improved by the construction of parallel piers 325 feet apart and dredging to a depth of 25 feet at low-water datum up to the New York Central Railroad bridge. The piers were completed in 1900 and the dredging in 1935. An outer harbor, about 1,300 acres in extent, has been formed by the construction of an aggregate length of about 30,700 feet of breakwater, including converging arms, completed in 1915. The main entrance has been widened to 700 feet and protected by converging arms extending lakeward from the east and west break- waters, completed in 1908. The outer harbor was deepened, 1933 to 1935, to 25 feet at low-water datum, throughout the west basin, in the entrance channel, and over a portion of the east basin adjacent to the entrance channel; over the remaining portion of the east basin a 184626-39-pt. 1, vol. 2--40 1736 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 depth of 23 feet at low-water datum has generally been secured. Re- moval of 150 feet of easterly end of west breakwater and construction .of 400 feet of spur breakwater to protect the gap in the west break- water shore arm were completed in 1935. A wharf was built at the foot of East Ninth Street in 1910 and a storehouse in 1915. A con- crete base for a light tower was constructed at east end of east break- water in 1917 in lieu of the east-end pierhead. The harbor structures :are generally in good condition. The breakwater requires some minor repairs. The superstructure of the East Ninth Street wharf has been re- placed with concrete. The widening of the channels in the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers and the enlargement of the turning basin located three-fourths of a mile Sdownstream from the project limit remain to be done to complete the project. At the end of the fiscal year the controlling depth in the main entrance channel, through the west basin, and between the piers was 25 feet and in the channel through the east basin 23 feet. Depths elsewhere in the east basin within the project area range from 10 to :30 feet. The controlling depth in the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers was °21 feet and in the turning basin 18 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $8,707,394.10, of which $5,778,230.94, including $616,767.03 Public Works funds, was for new work and $2,929,163.16, including $125,000 Public Works funds, for maintenance. The total expenditure was $8,667,345.33, including $741,767.03, Public Works funds. In addition, $50,000 was expended from contributed funds for maintenance.

FAIRPORT HARBOR, OHIO Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Grand River, 33 miles easterly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 346.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1825, and May 20, 1826. For further details see page 1963 of An- nual Report for 1915, and page 1590 of Annual Report for 1938. Eisting project.--This provides for the following: (a) An outer harbor about 360 acres in area formed by a system of breakwaters comprising a west breakwater, 3,878 feet long, con- nected with the shore; consisting of 825 feet of timber-crib substruc- ture with stone superstructure and sea slope, 2,553 feet of rubble- mound construction, and 500 feet of cellular steel-sheet piling with concrete caps, and an east breakwater 6,750 feet long, of rubble-mound construction. (b) A west breakwater pierhead of steel-sheet piling with concrete cap and an east breakwater pierhead of timber-crib substructure with concrete superstructure. (c) An east river pier 1,252 feet long, 578 feet of timber-crib substructure with concrete superstructure, the inner 674 feet not maintained. (d) Removal of the old west pier and construction of a cellular steel-sheet pile bulkhead 500 feet long and 300 feet west of the westerly face of the east pier. (e) A depth of 25 feet in soft material and 26 feet in hard material in the outer harbor. (f) A channel in Grand River 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide ex- tending from the outer harbor a distance of 2,000 feet upstream from the outer end of the east river pier; thence of the same depth with a width of 150 feet to the angle in the ore terminal, a farther distance of 1,700 feet; and thence with a depth of 21 feet, and with widths varying from 200 to 100 feet for a distance of 4,000 feet to the end of the stone receiving terminal of the Diamond Alkali Co., with a turn- ing basin 18 feet deep, 760 feet long, and 400 feet wide about midway in this section. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluc- tuations of water level are between 3 feet above and 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 4 feet above to 1 foot below that plane. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1937, is $2,623,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $27,000.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, requires local interests to contribute $304,000 toward the cost of extending the breakwater 4,000 feet and dredge the channel of approach to their terminal at their own expense. The River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930, waived the condition requiring local interests to contribute to the cost of the breakwater extension. The condition requiring dredging has not been complied with. All other conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-One large ore terminal, one coal dock, and one dock equipped with a warehouse for miscellaneous freight and elevator for handling grain do a general public business. One lime- stone dock, four fish docks, and one dock equipped with a derrick for handling small pleasure craft are privately owned. There are no publicly owned terminals. The facilities are regarded as adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Contract operations for deepening the outer harbor, removing the old west pier and widening the river channel at its mouth were in progress and 11 percent completed at the end of the year and the cost for the year was $60,133.04. Contract operations for deepening the river channel and excavating a turning basin were in progress and 99 percent com- pleted at the end of the year and the cost for the year was $184,720.38. Contract for construction of a bulkhead on the west side of the river was completed at a cost for the year of $71,378.93. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 11,347 cubic yards of material from the channels at a cost of $7,204.27. The total cost for the year was $323,436.62, of which $316,232.35 was for new work and $7,204.27 for maintenance. The total expendi- ture was $277,369.96. 1740 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Condition,at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 79 percent completed. The harbor has been improved by the construc- tion of parallel piers 190 feet apart at the mouth of the Grand River. The west pier is 788.2 feet long and the east pier 1,252 feet long. The inner 674 feet of the east pier has not been maintained and has fallen into decay. The piers were completed in 1904. Two outer break- waters have been constructed with a total length 6f 10,628 feet, shel- tering an area of about 360 acres. An area of about 62 acres was dredged to a depth of 19 feet in the east and west basin of the outer harbor and an entrance channel, 19 feet deep, was dredged outside the breakwater and between the piers. The dredging to the 19-foot depth was completed in 1934. The construction of the 500-foot bulk- head on the west side of the river was completed in 1939. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the completion of the existing contracts for the widening of the river channel, enlarging the turning basin and deepening the outer harbor and river channel. The controlling depth in the channels is 19 feet and 18 feet in the turning basin, at low-water datum. The harbor works are in good condition except for some minor repairs to breakwaters. The total cost of the existing project was $2,603,535.17, of which $2,081,359.67, including $187,772.04 Public Works funds, was for new work and $522,175.50 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $2,557,307.96, including $187,772.04 Public Works funds.

ASHTABULA HARBOR, OHIO Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Ashtabula River, 59 miles easterly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 342.) Previous projects.---Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of May 20,, 1826; March 3, 1829; July 3, 1832; March 2, 1867; June 10, 1872; and March 3, 1881; and modified by the Secretary of War July 8, 1890. For further details see page 1963 of Annual Report for 1915,. and page 1593 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) An outer harbor about 185 acres in area protected by break- waters, the west breakwater 7,780 feet long, and the east breakwater 4,400 feet long, all of rubble-mound construction, except 430 feet of the west breakwater, which consists of timber-crib substructure, stone superstructure. (b) A west pierhead of timber-crib substructure and concrete superstructure. 1742 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 (c) An east light foundation located 600 feet easterly from the west pierhead, consisting of a concrete superstructure founded on the outer end of the rubble-mound east breakwater. (d) The removal of 250 feet of the old inner east breakwater and of such additional length as may be necessary. (e) An entrance 28 feet deep between existing breakwaters 600 feet apart; thence a channel of 25-foot depth and 1,100-foot maximum bottom width through the outer harbor to the old inner east break- water; thence 24 feet deep to the mouth of Ashtabula River; thence a channel 24 feet deep with a bottom width of 160 feet to a point 2,000 feet upstream; thence a channel 18 feet deep (except where ledge rock may be encountered) with a bottom width of 160 feet, decreasing to 100 feet and suitably widened at the southerly end, to the upper car-ferry slip; thence a channel 16 feet deep (except where ledge rock may be encountered) with a bottom width of 100 feet suitably widened at bends and in the turning basin, to the south- erly end of the turning basin; also an approach channel 24 feet deep, with a minimum width of 250 feet from the 24-foot depth section of the outer harbor eastward to the New York Central Railroad Co.'s :slip. (f) Maintenance to 21 feet depth of that, portion of the outer harbor between the deepened channel and a meridian line through the westerly angle of the east breakwater. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water level are between 3 feet above and 0.5 foot below low- water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by winds or other causes, are from 4 feet above to 1 foot below low-water datum. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1937, is $3,181,000, ex- 'clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $18,000.

I Authorized by Public Works Administration Sept. 6, 1933. RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1743 Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are three iron ore and two coal termi- nals with an aggregate developed dock frontage of 18,500 feet, all open to the public. There is also a car ferry terminal, three pri- vately owned fish docks, one privately owned sand and gravel dock, and a large shipyard and drydock. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Contract operations for deepening the outer harbor, the approach to the New York Central Railroad Co.'s slip and the river channel from its mouth to a point 2,000 feet upstream were in progress and 12 percent completed at the end of the year and the cost for the year was $64,432.86. The river channel was deepened from a point 2,000 feet upstream from its mouth to the southerly end of the turning basin by contract at a cost of $28,122.28. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 43,409' cubic yards of material at a cost of $7,658 and repaired 835 linear feet of breakwater at a cost of $15,036.50. The total cost for the year was $115,249.64, of which $92,555.14 was for new work and $22,694.50 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $59,909.76. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 76, percent completed. Under the existing project as first adopted a west breakwater 3,380 feet long and an east breakwater 1,200 feet long were built, affording an outer harbor of limited area. Under the provisions of the River and Harbor Acts of June 25, 1910, and March 2, 1919, the west breakwater was extended shoreward and_ lakeward to an aggregate length of 7,180 feet; a new outer east breakwater 4,500 feet long was built; the east and west breakwaters were terminated with pierheads at their outer ends; and the outer 600 feet of the old east breakwater was removed. The breakwater and pierheads were completed in 1915 and the extension of the west breakwater to shore, provided by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919, in 1923. Deepening the westerly 800 feet of the east basin was completed in 1933. Extending the east and west breakwaters lake- ward and removing the westerly end of the east breakwater and the westerly end of the east inner breakwater was completed in 1935. The river channel upstream from a point 2,000 feet from its mouth and the turning basin was deepened to project depths in 1939. The, harbor works are generally in good condition. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the con- ditional removal of the east inner breakwater and the completion of the existing contract for deepening the channel through the outer harbor, the approach channel to the New York Central Railroad Co.'s slip, and deepening the channel in Ashtabula River to a point 2,000 feet upstream from its mouth. The portion of the outer harbor to be maintained to 21 feet depth has not been deepened to that depth,, shale rock being above project depth over a portion of the area. The controlling depth is 20 feet in the channel through the outer harbor, east basin and in the approach channel to the New York: Central Railroad Co.'s slip, 19 feet in the Ashtabula River channel to a point 2,000 feet upstream from its mouth, 18 feet to the upper car ferry slip, and 16 feet up to and including the turning basin. 1744 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

ERIE HARBOR, PA. Location.-On the southerly side of the bay formed by Presque Isle Peninsula, on the south shore of Lake Erie, 78 miles westerly from Buffalo, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 332.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of May 26, 1824, and modifications were subsequently made by approval of the report of a board of engineers in 1855 and in 1865; by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867; by approval of the report of a board of engineers in 1870; and by River and Harbor Acts of August 5, 1886, and September 19, 1890. For further details see page 1965 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1600 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) An entrance channel 25 feet deep in soft material and 26 feet deep in hard material, 500 feet wide lakeward of the entrance piers, and 300 feet wide between the piers and into the harbor. (b) A channel of the same depths and 600 feet wide from the en- trance channel to a line 50 feet outside of the pierhead line at the ore terminal, suitably widened at the junction with the entrance channel. (c) A harbor area 21 feet deep, of approximately 117 acres, extend- ing westerly from the 600-foot channel for a distance of about 2,100 feet to a line perpendicular to the harbor line 200 feet west of the city dock, with its southerly side 50 feet from the harbor line. (d) A channel of the same depth and 300 feet wide connecting the northern end of this harbor area with natural deep water in the bay. (e) An additional harbor area 18 feet deep, of about 35 acres, extending westerly from the 21-foot area and northerly from the harbor line off the public dock to natural deep water in the bay. (f) A channel of approach to the former westerly coal dock 21 feet deep and 200 feet wide, extending from deep water in the bay to a line 50 feet outside the harbor line. (g) An area 20 feet deep, of about 51/2 acres, extending from deep water in the bay to the harbor line leading to the westerly sand dock. (h) For harbor entrance piers 360 to 450 feet apart, of the timber crib type, with concrete superstructure extending to the 14-foot con- RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1749 tour in the lake, the north pier to have a length of about 3,248 feet and the south pier to have a length of about 2,215 feet, further exten- sions lakeward to be made when required to meet advance of said contour. (i) A timber crib breakwater 1,200 feet long (original length 2,530 feet) with stone superstructure, extending from the inner end of the south pier toward the mainland to maintain a closure at the eastern end of the harbor and for plant growth and emergency protection work on the peninsula. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctu- ations of water level are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low- water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 5.9 feet above to 2.7 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1936 is $908,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935)' approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000.

Recom/mended modifications of project.-Under date of December 282 1938, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to provide for the protection of beach No. 2 by construction of shore protection works at an estimated first cost of $66,000 with $2,500 annually for maintenance in addition to that now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 116, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Deepeningthe entrance chainel and the chan- nel to the ore docks to more than 21 feet is subject to the condition- that assurances be received that local interests will do the work neces- sary to provide for the full utilization at the ore dock of the increased depth. These conditions have been complied with and approved December 29, 1938. 1750 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Providing a channel to the westerly docks is subject to the condi- tion that assurances be received that local interests will do the work necessary to provide for the full utilization at these docks to the depth afforded. These conditions have not been complied with. Terminal facilities.-The developed water front has a length of :about 2 miles. Two groups of terminals have been established along this harbor frontage. The westerly group consists of three piers, one of which is used as a sand terminal and the other two have not been used for several years. The easterly group consists of one terminal for iron ore, one for coal, one for pulpwood, one for package freight, two for sand, one grain elevator, and one municipal pier at which miscellaneous freight is handled. There are two small boat basins in which there are docks for fish, marine repair work, and small pleasure craft. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year--new work.-Contract operations for deepening the entrance channel and the channel of approach to the ore docks were in progress and 31 percent completed at the end of the year and the cost for the year was $81,229.14. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 86,867 =cubic yards of material from the entrance channel and basin at a ,cost of $21,290.28. The total cost for the year was $102,519.42, of which $81,229.14 was for new work and $21,290.28 for maintenance. The total expendi- ture was $59,911.94. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 47 percent completed. The Presque Isle Peninsula has been reconveyed to the State of Pennsylvania for park purposes. The dredging was completed in 1911 and the breakwaters and piers in 1915. There is now a harbor basin with a depth of 18 to '20 feet, with an entrance channel at its easterly end 300 feet wide and 20 feet deep at low-water datum, protected by the two piers and the south breakwater. The widening and straightening of the en- trance channel was completed in 1936. Rubble-mound shore protec- tion works about 3,000 feet long and a steel-pile bulkhead faced with stone have been constructed along a part of the neck of Presque Isle Peninsula for the protection of the harbor. The bulkhead is 5,662 feet long, including shore returns, with 5,052 feet stone-faced. The harbor structures are generally in good condition. A section of the north pier shows considerable settlement. The south breakwater is 2,530 feet long. The north breakwater and the southerly 1,330 feet of the south breakwater have been eliminated from the project. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the deepening of the harbor basin, the dredging of a channel from the harbor basin to natural deep water in the bay, the dredging of an approach channel to the westerly docks, and the completion of the deepening of the entrance channel and the channel of approach to the ore docks. There is a controlling depth of 21 feet at low-water datum in the outer and inner channels and in the harbor basin leading to the docks at the easterly end, 15 feet to docks at the westerly end, and 20 feet to the public docks, foot of State Street. RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1751 The total cost of the existing project was $1,701,919.47, of which $427,087.91 was for new work and $1,274,831.56 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $1,659,192.22.

DUNKIRK HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie, 37 miles southwesterly from Buffalo, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 32.) Previous projects.--The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1827, and was modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, by approval November 30, 1870, of the report of a board of engineers and by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896. For further details of previous projects see page 1966 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1604 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an. entrance channel 350 feet wide at its lakeward end, narrowing to 200 feet at the entrance be- tween the west pier and the breakwater, 270 feet apart, and widening to 400 feet at the basin; for a harbor basin 2,420 feet long and 1,000 feet wide, both channel and basin to be 16 feet deep; for a pier 1,410 feet in length on the west side of the entrance channel extending to shore, 1,037 feet of timber cribs with concrete superstructure, 151/ feet with stone superstructure, and 3571/2 feet of the shore end not maintained; and for a detached breakwater extending eastward from the entrance channel 2,814 feet in length, 987 feet of timber cribs with concrete superstructure, and 1,827 feet with stone super- structure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctu- ations of water level are from 4 feet above to low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations produced by wind and other causes are from 6 feet above to 3 feet below that plane. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1910, was $99,275,. exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000.

Y., DISTRICT 1753 Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are three wharves in this harbor. Two are too dilapidated for commercial purposes. The third, owned by the city of Dunkirk, is designed for commercial use by large lake vessels. The terminal has been leased to private parties but is open to all on equal terms under the terms of the lease. The facilities are considered adequate for the small existing com- merce or any probable increase. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor sounded and swept the channels at a cost of $375.92 for maintenance. The expenditure was $729.41. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1918 at a saving of $43,101 under the estimated cost. About 800 feet of the lake side of the west pier has been reinforced with stone riprap. The harbor structures are in good condition. A depth of 16 feet below low-water datum is available in the entrance channel through the basin to the Central Avenue wharf., Depths in the remainder of the basin vary from 4 to 12 feet. The total cost and expenditure of the existing project was $465,244.80, of which $56,174.10 was for new work and $409,070.70 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the; year, $770.59, will be applied to sweeping the channel by government plant during August 1939. Dredging the channel is required periodically. The additional sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended for this maintenance work by government plant during the fiscal year 1941.

Local cooperation.-Deepeningthe south portion of the harbor and the south entrance channel to 25 feet, and removal of shoals in lake approach to depth of 27 feet are subject to the condition that local interests afford satisfactory assurances that the improvement of the ore and limestone terminals at the southern end of the outer harbor and the inner channels leading thereto, to fully utilize the increased depth afforded, will be undertaken to an extent sufficient to justify the cost of the improvement by the Federal Government. These con- ditions have not been complied with. All prior conditions have been complied with. 1756 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Terminal facilities.-There are approximately 60 terminals for the handling of all types of cargoes. The most important cargoes handled are iron ore, coal, grain, limestone, sand and gravel, steel products, scrap, flour, petroleum products and sulphur. In general, the terminals operated by the railroads and lake transportation com- panies and most of the grain elevators are open to the public. The city of Buffalo owns two terminals and the State of New York owns two barge canal terminals. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 1, 1981, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Contract operations for deepening the northerly portion of the outer harbor were in progress and 24 percent completed at the end of the year and the cost was $146,911.75. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 63,700 cubic yards of material from the outer harbor and Buffalo River entrance channel at a cost of $18,689.42. Maintenance of Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal by contract was continued and 84,007 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost for the year of $35,- 190.60. Government plant and hired labor probed to rock in the north entrance channel at a cost of $9,167.16. The total cost for the year was $209,958.93, of which $146,911.75 was for new work and $63,047.18 for maintenance. The total ex- penditure was $185,803.82 including $17,844 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 53 percent completed. The work done under the project is the con- struction of the south pier; protecting the entrance to the inner har- bor in Buffalo River; dredging and rock excavation to secure a channel 21 feet deep in Buffalo River, and the formation of an outer harbor 13 to 25 feet deep at low-water datum. The Stony Point breakwater was completed in 1899, a 1,000-foot extension was completed in 1914; 1,200 feet of the shore end was sold to the Lackawanna Steel Co. in 1918 and another 1,000-foot extension was completed in 1935. The south breakwater was com- pleted in 1903, and a 300-foot extension was completed in 1935. The north breakwater was completed in 1901, the old breakwater in 1893, and the south pier in 1869. The project area in the outer harbor has been deepened to 21 feet except for two strips 300 and 700 feet wide between the Canadian Pool Terminal elevator and the Terminals and Transportation Cor- poration's pier. The north-end entrance channel has been deepened to 23 feet in the lake and 21 feet in the outer harbor and Buffalo River. The harbor structures are in good condition except the concrete banquette on a part of the south pier which requires repairs. The controlling depth in the north and south entrance channels is 21 feet, Buffalo River Channel is 20 feet, and the outer harbor exclusive of the north and south entrance is 19 feet, at low-water datum. Deepening the outer harbor and removal of three small shoals located on the direct route of approach to the south entrance remain to be done to complete the project. The total cost of the existing project, all UnitedStates funds, was $3,798,390.46, of which $1,797,236.63, including $655,500 Public Works RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1757 funds, was for new work and $2,001,153.83 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,720,144.11, including $655,500 Public Works funds. In addition, there was a cost and expenditure of $130,000 from contributed funds for maintenance.

BLACK ROCK CHANNEL AND TONAWANDA HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-This improvement is essentially that of the upper 131/ miles of the Niagara River from its head at Lake Erie, Buffalo, N. Y., to and including Tonawanda Harbor, N. Y. It comprises the im- provements formerly designated by three titles, viz, Lake Erie en- trance to Black Rock Harbor and Erie Basin, N. Y., Black Rock Harbor and Channel, N. Y., and Tonawanda Harbor and Niagara River, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 312.) 1760 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Previous projects.-Lake Erie section, none. The original project for Black Rock Harbor and Channel was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1829.. ,The original project for Tonawanda Harbor and Niagara River was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. For further details see items 5 and 7, page 1970, of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1612 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep from Buffalo Harbor, north entrance channel, to opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, total length 131/2 miles, as follows: 400 feet wide to Erie Basin, Buffalo, a distance of 2,300 feet, suitably widened at the bend; thence 500 feet wide to the foot of Maryland Street, Buffalo, a distance of 2,190 feet; thence 350 feet wide, narrowing to 200 feet wide, 500 feet northwest; thence generally 200 feet wide through Black Rock Channel to the ship lock at the foot of Bridge Street, a distance of 3.3 miles, widened at the curve opposite the foot of Porter Avenue and at the angle immediately south of the Inter- national Bridge. From the lock the channel is 400 feet wide in the Niagara River to the natural deep-water pool at the upstream end of Rattlesnake Island, a distance of 3.4 miles; thence through natural deep water to the downstream end of the deep-water pool at the Tonawanda waterworks intake crib, a distance of about 4.7 miles, widened to 500 feet opposite the Wickwire Spencer Steel Co.'s plant by the removal of 200 feet of the westerly end of Rattlesnake Island Shoal; thence 400 feet wide to the foot of Tonawanda Island opposite Second Avenue, North Tonawanda, a distance of 5,000 feet, ending in a turning basin about 1,230 feet long and 1,250 feet wide extending to a point opposite Sixth Avenue. The project also provides for the removal of rock shoals from the Lake Erie entrance to the canal and in the canal south of Ferry Street Bridge, to a depth of 22 feet; for a channel 16 feet deep, 6,800 feet long, and generally 400 feet wide in Tonawanda Inner Harbor; for a channel 16 feet deep, 1,400 feet long, and generally 180 feet wide in Tonawanda Creek; for a ship lock at Bridge Street, Buffalo; for a bridge over the canal at Ferry Street, Buffalo; for the repair and 800-foot extension of Bird Island pier; for the improve- ment and extension of the guide pier; and for the repair of the towpath wall. The project depth in the canal is referred to low-water datum in Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The project depth in the river is referred to the river surface when Lake Erie is at low-water datum. Ordinary fluctuations of water level above the lock are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations produced by winds and other causes are about 9 feet above to 31/2 feet below that plane. River fluctuations gradually decrease to about 70 percent of fluctuations above the lock when they reach North Tonawanda. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $8,141,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $83,000, including $58,000 for operating and care. RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N.

S. ARMY, 1939 Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are no freight terminals along the chan- nel above the Black Rock lock. Transfer of freight takes place over the towpath to commercial plants on the east side. Along the upstream end of the channel there are two small boat harbors, one unused seaplane terminal and one Naval Militia dock. Below the Black Rock lock and at Tonawanda Harbor there are six terminals for petroleum products, two for iron ore and coal, two for coal, five for sand and gravel, one for lumber and one for pulp- wood, all of which are private. There are also two State-owned barge canal terminals. The facilities are considered adequate for the ex- isting commerce. (See Lake Series No. 1, 1931, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-Govern- ment plant and hired labor removed 93,943 cubic yards of material from the Black Rock Channel and Tonawanda Harbor for restora- tion of project depths at a cost of $48,640.52 and repaired the tow- path and 792 linear feet of bulkhead at a cost of $39,267.29. Operating and care.-The lock was in continuous operation 245 days and in operation during the day only for 107 days. The lock was closed March 19 to April 1, 1939, for underwater cleaning and repairs. The Ferry Street Bridge was in continuous operation 245 days and in operation during the day only 120 days. The signal station at the foot of Genesee Street, Buffalo, N. Y., was maintained except from December 3, 1938, to April 30, 1939. The total cost for the fiscal year was $69,633.49. The total cost for the year was $157,541.30, of which $87,907.81 was for maintenance and $69,633.49 for operating and care. The total expenditure was $180,973.45. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 97 percent completed. The channel from Buffalo Harbor north entrance to opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, is completed. The different sections of this channel were completed to project depth as follows: Lake Erie section in 1909; Black Rock Canal section in 1915; Niagara River section from lock to deep-water pool above Tonawanda in 1913; and Tonawanda section including turning basin in 1921. The channel was widened as follows: Lake Erie section was widened at the bend opposite foot of Georgia Street, Buffalo, in 1924; Black Rock Canal section, just south of the International Bridge at Buffalo, in 1928 and opposite the foot of Maryland Street, Buffalo, in 1930; and Niagara River section in the vicinity of the westerly end of the Rat- tlesnake Island Shoal in 1928. Rock shoals were removed from the Lake Erie entrance to the canal and in the canal south of Ferry Street Bridge to a depth of 22 feet in 1937. The Tonawanda Creek Channel was completed in 1902. Tona- wanda Inner Harbor Channel was completed in 1904. The enlarge- ment of the Tonawanda turning basin and the extension of Bird Island pier were completed in 1936. The lock, including wing walls and retaining walls above the lock, was completed in 1914, and the 100-foot east-wing wall extension in 1927. The guide pier connecting with the west-lower-wing wall was completed in 1916, except 200-foot northerly extension and construction of concrete platform in the angle. The bridge at Ferry Street was completed in 1914, the Ferry Street storehouse in 1923, the lock-operating houses and office store- RIVERS AND HARBORS -BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1763 house in 1924, the storage warehouse in 1930, and the oil storehouse in 1931. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of the improvement of the guide pier, as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935. Structures are all in good condition except the towpath wall and low part of Bird Island pier which require repairs. The controlling depths at low-water datum are Black Rock Chan- nel, 20 feet; Tonawanda Inner Harbor, 15 feet; and Tonawanda Creek Channel, 12 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $8,912,385.38, of which $7,936,342.60, including $1,760,000 Emergency Relief funds, was for new work, $719,991.76 for maintenance, and $256,051.02 for operating and care. The total expenditure was $8,888,644.69, including $1,760,000 Emergency Relief funds. In addition, the sum of $1,356,006.68 was expended between July 9, 1914, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appro- priation for such purposes.

NIAGARA RIVER, N. Y. Location.-This improvement covers that portion of the Niagara River from Tonawanda Harbor, N. Y., to Niagara Falls, N. Y., a distance of 71/2 miles, and compensating works near the head of the river. The downstream limit of the improvement is about 16 miles from the mouth of the river at Lake Ontario. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 312.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of July 13, 1892, August 18, 1894, and June 25, 1910. For further details RIVERS AND HARBORS---BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1765 see page 1970 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1619 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 12 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the east channel from the downstream end of the existing 21-foot channel opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, to the upstream end of the 12.7-foot channel near the Niagara Falls waterworks intake crib; and for a channel 12.7 feet deep and from 300 to 400 feet wide from the Navy Island Channel (natural) to the foot of Hyde Park Boulevard (formerly called Sugar Street), Niagara Falls, N. Y. The project also provides for the construction of compensating works just above the contracted section of the river at Fort Erie, this work forming a part of the project for deeper channels in the connect- ing waters of the Great Lakes. The project depths are referred to the river surface when Lake Erie is at low-water datum, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctuations of water fevel are from 2 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 51/2 feet above to 11/2 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1930, is $1,616,600, including $27,562.50 contributed by local interests and $700,000 for compensating works, but exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1930) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $9,000, of which $5,000 is for maintenance of the compensating works.

Terminal facilities.-There are two terminals, one of which is occupied by a builders supply company whose facilities are open to shippers of commodities for which the facilities are suited. The other terminal isopen to the public and has rail connections but no handling facilities. These facilities are considered adequate for the small amount of existing commerce. Additional terminal facilities have been assured as required under modification of project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor swept the channel and removed obstructions at a cost of $1,209.28 for maintenance. The expenditure was $1,077.13. 1766 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project is about 30C percent completed. The east channel from North Tonawanda to the Niagara Falls waterworks intake and Schlossers Channel from Niagara Falls waterworks intake to the foot of Hyde Park Boule- vard were completed in 1934. The work remaining to be done is the construction of the compensating works just above the contracted section of the river at Fort Erie. The controlling depth in the channels is 11.5 feet at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $499,828.22, of which $463,386.62, including $94,512.24 Public Works funds, was for new work and $36,441.60 for maintenance. The total expenditutae was $499,696.07, including $94,512.24 Public Works funds. In addition, $27,562.50 was expended from contributed funds for new work.

OLCOTT HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-This harbor consists of a pier-protected channelway, 1.,500 feet long and 98 to 180 feet wide, in the mouth of Eighteen Mile Creek, on Lake Ontario, 18 miles east of the mouth of Niagara River and 63 miles by water west of Rochester (Charlotte) Harbor, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 25.) Previous project.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and was modified by approval of the Chief of Engineers June 18, 1891. For further details see page 1971 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1621 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 12 feet deep and 140 feet wide from the lake to the inner ends of parallel timber crib piers about 200 feet apart, the west pier to be 873 feet long and the east pier 850 feet long. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Ontario, elevation 244.0 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluc- tuations of water surface are from 4 feet above to low-water datum,, and fluctuations, due to wind, are small. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1912, was $3,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects, only one-half of which is to be borne by the United States. The latest (1928) ap- proved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 2, 1867 Dredging channel 11 feet deep between paral- Annual Report, 1866, pt.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Local interests have, expended about $10,000 since August 1925 replacing old timber superstructure on east pier with concrete and dredging in the channel. The sum of $5,000 was contributed in 1928 by local interests toward the cost of replacing old timber superstruc- ture on west pier with concrete. Terminal facilities.-There is no commercial navigation. The facilities consist of private docks for pleasure boats. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 18,050 cubic yards of material from the channel for restoration of project depth at a cost of $7,195.48 and repaired 139 linear feet of the west pier at a cost of $3,183.54. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $10,379.02. The total expenditure was $10,533.08. 184626-39-pt. 1, vol. 2- 42 1768 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1918 at a saving of $1,500 under the estimated cost. The project channel was completed in 1913; the piers were completed in 1873. The wooden superstructure has been replaced with concrete on 614.6 feet of the west pier and 705 feet of the east pier completed in 1930. The west pier is generally in good condition and the east pier requires extensive repairs. The controlling depth in the channel is 11 feet at low-water datum. The total cost and expenditure of the existing project was $75,- 789.03, all for maintenance. In addition, $6,500 was expended from contributed funds, $1,500 for new work and $5,000 for repair of the west pier. Proposed operations.-Allotment of $3,000 made in July 1939 will be applied to the repair of the east pier by Government plant during September 1939. No work is proposed during the fiscal year 1941.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of January 11, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to provide for maintenance by the United States of the existing channel to a depth of 20 feet and width of approximately 150 feet, without dredging closer than 50 feet to exist- ing bulkheads, from the upper limit of the present authorized project to a point 200 feet upstream from the Genesee docks, at an estimated cost of $10,000 the first year and $5,000 annually thereafter, in addition to the amounts now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 139, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-There is one coal terminal, one car-ferry terminal and one municipal passenger and miscellaneous freight ter- minal, all open to the public. These facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 104,752 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the entrance channel and turning basin at a cost of $13,956.36 and repaired 90 linear feet of the west pier at a cost of $10,092.93. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $24,049.29. The total expenditure was $25,027.80. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935 at a saving of $10,386 under the estimated cost. A length of 345 linear feet of the west pier has been reinforced and repaired with steel sheet piling and concrete. A portion of the re- 1770 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 mainder of the west pier needs reinforcement and repairs. The, present channel was completed in 1935. The channel is unstable and requires annual dredging to maintain project depth. The controlling depth in the channel is 20 feet to and including the turning basin. The total cost of the existing project was $514,308.51, of which $78,614.10 including $56,806 Emergency Relief funds, was for new work and $435,694.41 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $514,011.03, including $56,806 Emergency Relief funds.

Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel parallel to the entrance piers extending from deep water in the lake to deep water in the bay, 22 feet deep and 300 feet wide to just lakeward of the pierheads, thence narrowing to 200-foot width with 20-foot depth between the piers, widening to 300--foot width with 20-foot depth to deep water in Great Sodus Bay; for parallel piers 450 feet apart, of timber cribs with concrete superstructure, the west pier 1,580 feet long and the east pier 1,294 feet long; for an east breakwater 1,653 feet long, of timber cribs with concrete superstructure, extending from the inner end of the east pier to Charles Point; and for a west breakwater 2,200 feet long, of stone-filled timber cribs, extending from the inner end of the west pier to Sodus Point, not maintained. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Ontario, -elevation 244.0 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctu- ations of water surface are from 4 feet above to 0.5 foot below low- water datum, and fluctuations due to wind are small. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $244,000, exclu- sive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) .approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $14,500.

S. ARMY, 1939 Local cooperation.-Deepeningand widening the channel as pro- vided by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, is subject to the condition that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that a channel will be provided and maintained to the coal-loading terminal in the bay, of width, depth, and with maneuvering facilities sufficient for full utilization of the Federal improvement. These conditions have been complied with and ap- proved by the Secretary of War, May 17, 1939. All prior conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal at the harbor is a coal terminal which is open to shippers of coal. This terminal is con- sidered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 17,041 cubic yards of material from the entrance channel at a cost of $8,719.47 for maintenance. The expenditure was $8,428.35. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 39 percent completed. The east breakwater, 1,653 feet, and the west breakwater, 2,200 feet long, were completed about 1834; the west pier in 1884; the east pier in 1886; and dredging the channel on the old location to 18 feet in 1931. The piers are in good condition. The west breakwater is not maintained. The controlling depth in the entrance channel at the close of the fiscal year was 18 feet at low-water datum. The channel is unstable and requires annual redredging to maintain the project depth. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is deepening the entrance channel located parallel to the entrance piers. The total cost of the existing project was $594,492.13, of which $96,253.66 was for new work and $498,238.47 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $593,713.90.

LITTLE SODUS BAY HARBOR, N. Y. Loccation.-On Little Sodus Bay, which is an indentation of the south shore of Lake Ontario, 15 miles westerly from Oswego, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 227.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852, June 23, 1866, and March 3, 1871. For further details see page 1973 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1628 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 151/2 feet deep and 150 feet wide from the lake to the bay between parallel piers of the timber-crib type with concrete superstructure, about 250 feet apart, the west pier to be 1,747 feet long and the east pier 1,810 feet long, connected at its inner end with a timber-crib concrete breakwater 1,680 feet long. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Ontario, elevation 244.0 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water surface are from 4 feet above to 0.5 foot below low- water datum, and fluctuations due to wind are small. 1774 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1882, was $80,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance was $8,000.

Terminal facilities.-There is no commercial navigation. The facilities consist of private docks for recreational craft. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 13,561 cubic yards of material from the entrance channel for restoration of project depth at a cost of $4,034.92 for maintenance. The expenditure was $6,283.23. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1906 at a saving of $10,934 under the estimated cost. The structures are all of the timber-crib type, the piers and 1,600 feet of the east breakwater having concrete superstructure. The west and east piers were completed in 1886 and 1906, respectively, and the dredging in 1896. The piers and the part of the east breakwater having concrete superstructure are in good condition. The lake face of one crib and both lake and channel faces in a second crib in west pier, each 30 feet long, have been breached and repaired with stone and concrete-block riprap. The lakeward 500 linear feet of the west pier was riprapped in 1930 to reinforce the pier and prevent further breaching. The timber superstructure of the remaining 80 linear feet at the east end of the east breakwater isdecayed, but rebuilding is not considered necessary. The west breakwater is buried in sand and not maintained. The controlling depth is 15.5 feet at low-water datum. The chan- nel is unstable and requires redredging annually. The total cost of the existing project was $528,220.49, of which $69,066.20 was for new work and $459,154.29 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $527,472.23.

OSWEGO HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-On the south shore of Lake Ontario, at the mouth of the Oswego River, 59 miles easterly from Rochester, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 225.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1827, March 2, 1831, June 23, 1866, July 25, 1868, July 11, 1870, March 3, 1881, September 19, 1890, the Sundry Civil Act of March 3, 1893, and River and Harbor Acts of August 18, 1894, June 3, 1896, March 2, 1907, and March 2, 1919. For further details, see page 1973 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1630 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the maintenance of 145 feet of the west inner breakwater, for an outer west breakwater 4,359 1776 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 feet in length, of stone-filled timber crib substructure and concrete superstructure; and for an arrowhead rubble-mound breakwater sys- tem, west arrowhead breakwater, 2,700 feet long, east arrowhead breakwater about 2,200 feet long; for dredging to a depth of 21 feet at low-water datum in the outer harbor east of the Lakawanna coal dock and between the harbor lines in the Oswego River north of the north line of Seneca Street; for dredging the outer harbor west of the east side of the Lackawanna coal dock (area B) to a depth of 16 feet; no dredging to be done within 50 feet of established harbor lines except in the river; for removal of a part of the west outer breakwater, the lighthouse pier, and a part of the west inner breakwater; for the abandonment of the east inner breakwater; for the elimination from the existing project of the east outer break- water never constructed; and for the removal of the upper and lower islands in the Oswego River. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake On- tario, elevation 244 feet above mean tide at New, York. Ordi- nary fluctuations of water surface are from 4 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and fluctuations due to wind are small. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1936, is $4,157,000, which includes $1,188,000, the cost of that part of outer west break- water included in the existing project.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of August 16, 1938, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide for closing the gap in the west break- water and for depths in the outer harbor, west of the east line of the Lackawanna coal dock, of 21 feet in soft material and 22 feet in hard material at low-water datum, at an estimated first cost of $1,000,000 RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1777 with $500 annually for maintenance in addition to that now required, no dredging to be done within 100 feet of the breakwater nor within 50 feet of the established harbor line, the work to be done progres- :sively when and as, in the opinion of the Secretary of War, the requirements of traffic justify the improvement; subject to certain sconditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 96, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-One coal terminal and two publicly-owned terminals for grain and barge canal traffic are open to the public. Another terminal for coal, one for petroleum products, one for cement, one for pulpwood and one for fish are private. One dock owned by the State naval militia and one by the city of Oswego are used by recreational craft. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 43,644 cubic yards of material from the channels at a cost of $15,347.56 for maintenance. The expenditure was $16,135.61. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 81 percent completed. Under the existing project there have been constructed a west inner breakwater; a west outer breakwater, com- pleted in 1882; a west arrowhead breakwater 2,700 feet long, com- pleted in 1931; and an east arrowhead breakwater 2,200 feet long, completed in 1932. The west outer breakwater was originally 6,032 feet long, but was reduced to 4,359 feet in 1931 by the removal of 1,673 feet. The old lighthouse pier and a part of the west inner break- water, together with the upper and lower islands in the Oswego River, were removed in 1931. The Oswego River, to the north line of Seneca Street, and the outer harbor east of the Lackawanna coal dock have been deepened to the project depth of 21 feet, except a strip about 200 feet wide along the harbor line east of the mouth of the Oswego River. The west outer breakwater consists of a stone-filled timber-crib substructure with a concrete superstructure. A stone sea slope was constructed along its lake face to reinforce the stone riprap previ- ously placed. The concrete superstructure has settled in places and will require repairs. The arrowhead breakwaters are rubble-mound structures and are generally in good condition. The east inner break- water has been abandoned and all but 145 feet of the west inner breakwater has been removed. The portion remaining is maintained for a wharf for Government plant. A depth of 21 feet at low-water datum is available in the Oswego River to the north line of Seneca Street and in the outer harbor east of the Lackawanna coal dock except in a 200-foot-wide strip along the harbor line east of the mouth of the Oswego River. The 100-foot channel in the outer harbor west of the Lackawanna coal dock has a controlling depth of 15 feet at low-water datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the deep- ening of the 200-foot strip along the harbor line east of the Oswego River, and the deepening of the outer harbor west of the Lackawanna coal dock. 1778 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 The total cost of the existing project was $3,750,731.15, of which $3,349,266.55 was for new work and $401,464.60 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,750,526.72.

There is a car-ferry terminal, a grain elevator, a shipyard, a terminal for a passenger and automobile ferry, and a publicly owned terminal. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. 1780 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 111,844 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the channels, at a cost of $23,913.59 for mainte- nance. The expenditure was $28,079.96 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 97 percent completed. Removal of the elevator wharf and deepening of the lower basin was completed in 1935, except for removal of hard- material shoals which remains to be done to complete the project. There is a controlling depth of 17 feet in the channels, and a depth of 20 feet in the lower basin, at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $656,165.34, of which $375,085.40, including $174,548.79 Public Works funds, was for new work and $281,079.94 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $654,412.25, including $174,548.79 Public Works funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the year will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1939 ------------------------------ $1, 753. 09 Maintenance: Sweeping channels and removing obstructions by Gov- ernment plant, July and August 1939------------- $16, 899. 60 Dredging channels by United States hopper dredge, May and June 1940-------------------------- 14, 000. 00 30, 899. 60 Total -------------------------------------------- 32, 652. 69 Redredging and sweeping are required annually.

SAN DIEGO HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-On the Pacific coast just north of the United States- Mexico boundary line, about 96 and 506 miles southeast of Los Angeles Harbor and San Francisco Bay, respectively. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5107.) Previous project.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852, March 3, 1875, September 19, 1890, and June 25, 1910. For further details see page 1976 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1642 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-Provides for a rubble-mound jetty 7,500 feet long on Zuninga Shoal; for an entrance channel 40 feet deep, 800 :feet wide; for removal of Middle Ground shoal and widening the ,entrance channel to the eastward in that vicinity to a depth of 36 feet; for a bay channel 35 feet deep and 2,200 feet wide from the vicinity of Whalers Bight to the naval air station; for an anchorage area :northward of the bay channel 1,200 feet wide, 12,000 feet long, and 35 and 26 feet deep in the easterly and westerly halves, respectively; for a seaplane basin 1,500 feet wide, 12,000 feet long, and 8 feet deep, landward of the anchorage area; for a turning basin 35 feet i deep opposite the municipal piers; for a channel approximately 20,000 feet long, 1,500 to 2,500 feet wide, and 30 feet deep in the southerly part of the bay; for a channel to National City and Chula Vista 20 feet deep and 200 feet wide; and for an earthen dike 7,735 feet long to divert the San Diego River from San Diego Bay to False Bay. ' The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.6 feet. The extreme range is about 9 feet. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $7,624.000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects, and $10,000 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1.937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is '$40,000, of which $20,000 is for entrance-channel dredging and $20,000 for bay dredging. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1875 Diversion dike - Annual Report 1873, p. 1142.

(Contains latest pub- lished map.) 1 Included in the Emergency Relief program M-y 28, 1935. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides that before any work is undertaken on the turning basin local interests shall furnish necessary disposal areas and give assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of War and the Chief of Engi- neers that they will deepen areas adjacent to the municipal piers to depth of 35 feet, and that before any work is undertaken on the channel to Chula Vista local interests shall contribute $10,000 in cash. These conditions have been complied with, except in the case of the channel to Chula Vista. The modification of the project authorized in the act of August 26, 1937, provides that the Chief of Engineers may, at his discretion, direct the disposal of dredged materials on lands not under Govern- ment ownership, provided local interests reimburse the United States for the excess costs involved. Terminal facilities.-In San Diego Harbor there are 21,730 linear feet of wharves, exclusive of Government-owned wharves, of which 101965 feet are municipally owned. In addition, there are two wharves at Coronado and one Government-owned wharf at North Island. (See Port Series No. 13, pt. 2, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Operations with regular funds consisted of a hydrographic survey and wash and auger borings, by hired labor, July 26, 1938, to August 23, 1938, preliminary to dredging; and dredging in a portion of the easterly anchorage area, area M, by contract, from January 21, 1939, to the end of the fiscal year. Two million and eighty-one thousand cubic yards of material were dredged from an irregular area near the center of the 35-foot anchorage and deposited to reclaim Government and city-owned tidelands in the vicinity of the Marine Corps Base, San Diego, Calif. Maintenance.-There were no maintenance operations. Adjust- ments of plant-rental charges in connection with dredging in the entrance channel by U. S. hopper dredge Mackenzie during fiscal year 1938 added $1,325.67 to the cost of that work. Costs were $214,989.26 for new work and $1,325.67 for maintenance, a total of $216,314.93, all from regular funds. Expenditures were $167,375.58 from regular funds. 1788 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 49.6 percent completed. San Diego River dike was completed in 1876, Zuninga Shoal Jetty in 1904, the entrance channel to a width of 800 feet and depth of 40 feet in 1934, and the bay channel to a width of 2,200 feet and depth of 35 feet in 1936. Dredging in area M was about 8.9 percent completed. The jetty has deteriorated to the extent of about 75,000 tons of stone displaced. Controlling depths were: 40 feet for width of 800 feet in the entrance channel, 35 feet in the bay channel and turning basin, 1 foot in the anchorage area, zero in the seaplane basin, and 16 feet in the south bay and Chula Vista channels. Work remaining to complete the existing project includes com- pletion of dredging in area M, dredging in areas N, O, Q, and Q-1, and the Chula Vista Channel.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1791 Local cooperatiotn.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-In Los Angeles Harbor, there are 67,481 linear feet of wharves, of which 45,703 linear feet were constructed by the city and 21,778 linear feet by private interests. In Long Beach Har- bor there are 12,285 linear feet of wharves. The existing terminal facilities are considered adequate. (See Port Series No. 13, Corps of Engineers, pt. 1.) Operations and resultsi during fiscal year-New work.-Operations with regular funds consisted of dredging by contract from July 20, 1938, to May 24, 1939, to complete the outer harbor turning basin to project depth of 40 feet; 627,694 cubic yards of material were dredged and deposited to reclaim about 26 acres of Government- owned lands within the Fort MacArthur Military Reservation, and 6,851.4 cubic yards of ledge rock and concreted material were re- moved and deposited at sea. Mainteanee.-A hydrographic survey of Long Beach Entrance Channel was made during June 1939. Adjustments of plant rental charges in connection with dredging in Long Beach Entrance Chan- nel by U. S. hopper dredge Mackensie during fiscal year 1938 added $2,573.37 to the cost of that work. Costs were $290,933.93 for new work and $3,044.18 for maintenance, a total of $293,978.11, all from regular funds. Expenditures were $240,743.02 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. The San Pedro breakwater was completed in 1912; the silt diversion works in 1923; Los Angeles Inner Harbor channels and turning basin in 1931; Long Beach Entrance Channel in 1932; the detached breakwater and Los Angeles Harbor Entrance Channel in 1937; and the outer harbor turning basin in 1939. San Pedro breakwater and the detached breakwater were in ex- cellent condition, and Long Beach breakwater was in satisfactory condition. Full project dimensions obtained in all channels and turn- ing basins. Controlling depths were 40 feet in the entrance channel and outer harbor turning basin; 35 feet in the main channel, inner harbor turn- ing basin; east basin channel, Cerritos Channel; Long Beach Inner Harbor turning basin, and the entrance channel to Long Beach Inner Harbor.

SANTA BARBARA HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-On the Pacific coast, 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles Harbor and 320 miles southeast of San Francisco Harbor. (See United States Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5261.) Existing project.-Provides for maintenance by dredging of the present depths into the harbor formed by the breakwater constructed by local interests. All depths refer to m'ean lower low water. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.4 feet. The extreme range is about 10.5 feet. The latest RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1793 (1934) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Senate committee print, 73d Cong., 2d sess.). Prior to adoption by Congress, the work was authorized by the Public Works Administration. Local cooperation.-No specific local cooperation is required. Local interests contributed $51,200 during the fiscal year 1938 to cover the excess cost of depositing dredged material on the beach, over the estimated cost of similar dredging with disposal at sea. Terminal facilities.-Thereis one wharf 2,200 feet long, with ware- house used for general cargo and by fishing boats; also a landing float and mooring facilities for small craft. Operations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-Opera- tions consisted of surveys in connection with the dredging completed in 1938, $57,730.21 was expended from regular funds to settle obligations outstanding at the beginning of the fiscal year. Costs were $750.65 from regular funds and $1,200 from contributed funds, a total of $1,950.65. Expenditures were $58,480.86 from regular funds and $1,200 from contributed funds, a total of $59,680.86. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Original depths were restored at the harbor entrance in 1938, but this area is subject to continuous and rapid shoaling. The controlling depth in the entrance was 20 feet for a width of 475 feet in April 1939, the date of the latest survey. About 5,000 linear feet of beach easterly of the harbor were restored in 1938 by the deposit of dredged material. A portion of the deposited material has been moved down coast by wave action, partially restor- ing approximately 3 miles of denuded beach. The costs and expenditures for maintenance and beach restoration to date were $29,198.39 from Public Works funds, $77,004 from regular funds, and $51,200 from contributed funds; a total of $157,402.39. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on July 1, 1939, amounting to $75,000, will be applied to maintenance dredging by con- tract, April to June 1940.

"RI.VERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1817 Local cooperation.-The act of August 26, 1937, requires that local interests contribute one-half the initial cost of the channel to San Francisco Airport, construct suitable works for the protection of the harbor at that point, furnish free of cost to the United States neces- sary rights-of-way and suitable bulkheaded spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance as required, and an area 400 to 660 feet in width and up to 1,250 feet in length, with a front- age on the proposed seaplane harbor of not less than 860 feet, and having satisfactory access by land to the public highway system and to the runways of the airport landing field. The requirements have: not as yet been fulfilled. Terminal facilities.-The State has 42 piers, 14 passenger- and automobile-ferry slips, 6 car-ferry slips, a large union passenger depot, some 2.2 miles of bulkhead wharves parallel to the sea wall, providing an aggregate of 11.9 miles of berthing space. The exist- ing facilities are considered adequate. (See Port Series No. 12, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results. dlu)ring fiscal year.-None. There were no costs and no expenditures. Condition at end .of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 82 percent completed. The dredging of Islais Creek Shoal was com- pleted in 1930, the deepening of Presidio Shoal in 1931, the removal of various rocks in 1932, the deepening of Point Knox Shoal in 1934, the deepening of Alcatraz Shoal in 1936, and the deepening of Black Point Shoal in 1937. The controlling depths over various items of the project and the dates on which these depths were determined are as follows: Bar channel, 47 feet, April 27,, 1939; Presidio Shobal, 45 feet, Alcatraz Shoal, 51 feet, April 26, 1939; Black Point Shoal, 38 feet, close to the pierhead line, May 3, 1938; Point Knox Shoal, 36 feet, April 22,, 1938; Islais Creek Shoal, 30 feet, August 2, 1938; Rincon Reef Rock (inner), 41 feet, August 27, 1932; Rincon Reef (outer), 41 feet, Aug- ust 20, 1932; Blossom Rock, 42 feet, May 10, 1932; Arch Rock, 35 feet, August 19, 1932; Shag Rocks, Nos. 1 and 2, both 37 feet, August 25, 1932. Harding Rock, 35 feet, August 3, 1932. The work remain- ing to be done is the completion of the bar channel, the removal of Raccoon Shoal, and also the dredging of the channel:and.basin at the San Francisco Airport authorized in 1937. The cost of new work to the end of the fiscal year was $193,000 from Public Works funds and $850,801.03 from regular funds, a total of $1,043,801.03; the cost of maintenance was $159,786.89. The expenditures to the end of the fiscal year were $193,000 from Public Works funds and minus $114,- 278.67 from regular funds, a total of $78,721.33. Proposed operations.-There are no funds available and no work: is contemplated for the fiscal year 1940. The sum of $287,000, together with $137,000 of contributed funds, can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941 for new work, as follows: Dredging the channel and basin at San Francisco Airport, by contract, July to December 1940 ----------------------- $274, 000' Dredging the bar channel and Raccoon Shoal, by Government hopper dredge, February to June 1941--____-___----- --- _- -_150 , 000 Total_____----- 424, 000 The above work will complete the project. 1818 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

REDWOOD. CREEK, CALIF. Location.-Redwood Creek is a tributary of San Francisco Bay, about 20 miles south of the city of San Francisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5531.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1979 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1672 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 27 feet deep and 200 feet :wide fromwdeep water in San: Francisco Bay to the junction of Redwood Creek and West Point Slough, with an enlargement at a bend, about 1,100 feet long and 250 feet wide; for a turning basin about 1,800 feet long, 700 feet wide, and 27 feet deep at the inner end of the channel; thence a channel 5 feet deep and 150 feet wide to the old municipal wharf on the right bank at the mouth of Stein- berger Slough, about three-fourths of a mile below Redwood City. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth of the creek is 7.9 feet, with an extreme range of about 13.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $250,300, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects, but inclusive of $120,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1935) ap- prdved estimtet for annual cost of maintenance is $16,500.

(Con- feet wide. tains latest published map.) Local cooperation.--All requirements have been satisfactorily met. Teriminal facilities.-There are seven open-pile wharves of ordi- nary pile construction and one bulkhead landing on Redwood Creek and one wharf on West Point Slough. One wharf is a modern, pub- licly owned, deep-water, general-cargo wharf operated as a public facility; five are for the exclusive use of the owners; one wharf and the bulkhead landing are open to all shallow-draft craft. Three wharves and the bulkhead landing have highway connections; there are no direct railroad connections. Operations and results during fiscal year.-As maintenance, 10,034 cubic-yards of material were removed, under contract, from the chan- nel between the upstream end of the deep-water turning basin and the branch channel maintained by local interests, to the municipal yacht harbor. The costs were $2,500. The expenditures were $2,321.51. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937 at a saving of $855 under the estimated cost. On May 26, 1939, the controlling depth was 27 feet from San Francisco Bay to Corkscrew Slough, thence 21 feet to the upper end of the turning basin, thence the channel upstream; was 9 feet deep to the branch channel to the municipal yacht harbor at Boundary Slough, thence 3 feet to Smith Creek, thence it shoaled to mean lower low water at the head of navigation at the Bayshore Highway bridge. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $24~465 26 for new work ($129,893.03 from United States funds and $119,572.23 from contributed funds), and $9,523.41 for maintenance, a total of $258,988.67. The expenditures were $258,810.18 ($139,237.95 from United States funds and $119,572.23 from contributed funds). Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1939, amounting to $30,178.49, will be applied to maintenance, redredging the upstream portion of the 27-foot channel and the turning basin, by Government hopper dredge, October and November 1939. The work will restore project depths in the deep-water portion of the project. No work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1941. 1820 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

OAKLAND HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-Located on the eastern side of San Francisco Bay, oppo- site the city of San Francisco. The inner harbor is situated between the cities of Oakland and Alameda. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5535.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1874, June 13, 1902, March 2, 1907, and June 25, 1910. For further details see page 1979 of Annual Report for 1915, page 1755 of Annual Report for 1921, and page 1674 of Annual Report for 1938. E'isting project.-This provides for an entrance channel about 11/ miles long, 30 feet deep, and 800 feet wide, through the shoal southeast of Yerba Buena Island, narrowing to 600 feet at the ends of Oakland Jetties; a channel from the ends of the jetties to the tidal canal, 30 feet deep, 600 feet wide, to the west end of Government Island, thence 500 feet wide through Brooklyn Basin; for dredging to a depth of 30 feet a triangular area about 2,700 feet long and of a maximum width of 300 feet at the western end of Brooklyn Basin; a turning basin at the east end of Brooklyn Basin 30 feet deep, 500 feet wide, and 1,200 feet long; a channel 1.9 miles long in the tidal canal, 30 feet deep and 275 feet wide from Brooklyn Basin to Park Street, and 25 feet deep above the Park Street Bridge, to San Leandro Bay; RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1821 a total channel length of 81/2 miles. The project provides also for an entrance channel to the outer harbor, 30 feet deep and 800 feet wide at the bay end, narrowing to 600 feet at the pier-head line. The proj- ect also includes parallel rubble-mound jetties at the entrance, a north jetty 9,500 feet long, and a south jetty 12,000 feet long; the mainte- nance of the north channel of Brooklyn Basin, 25 feet deep and 300 feet:wide, the maintenance to 30-foot depth and to within 75 feet of the pier-head line of the area along the south side of the channel from Harrison Street eastward to harbor-line point No. 58 in Brooklyn Basin; and three highway bridges across the tidal canal constructed by the United States and operated by local authorities, one of which (at Park Street) has been replaced, and another (at High Street) is now being replaced by local interests. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.1 feet, and the extreme range is 11 feet. The estimated cost of new work, authorized by the acts of Septem- ber 22, 1922, January 21, 1927, and July 3, 1930, is $1,492,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, but including $150,000 to be contributed by local interests. Overdepth dredging in the main channel, in the nature of deferred maintenance, involved an estimated expenditure of $1,035,000. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost, of maintenance is $110,000.

No. 28, 70th Cong, 1822 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Local cooperation.-All requirements of local cooperation have been satisfactorily met except those pertaining to the maintenance of the north channel in Brooklyn Basin and the deepening of the tidal canal. Terminal facilities.-There are 82 wharves and 13 ferry slips in the harbor. These facilities are considered adequate. (See Port Series No. 12, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Mackenzie removed 166,250 cubic yards of material from the inner harbor channel between Chestnut: Street - and the eastern side of Alaska Basin, as maintenance. The cost was $17,373.73, including $24.72 incurred in connection with maintenance work during the pre- vious fiscal year. The expenditures were $19,384.67. Condition at end of fiscal yea.-The existing project is about 82 percent completed. At the end of the year the controlling depth in the channels across the shoal southeast of Yerba Buena Island and to the inner and outer harbors was 30 feet for practically the full projet width. In the inner harbor the middle portion of the channel was '31 feet deep to the western end of Brooklyn Basin, thence 28 feet deep to the eastern end of Brooklyn Basin. The edges of the channel, for varying widths, were shallower than the above de ths. The turnihg basin at the eastern end of Brooklyn Basin was 30 feet deep for practically its full dimensions. The controlling depth in the tidal canal was 17 feet, with less depth near the channel edges. The north channel in Brooklyn Basin was 18 feet deep for a width of 200 feet. The work remaining to be done is the deepening of the tidal canal. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $1,218,009.23 for new work, of which $1,134,462.21 was from United States funds and $83,547.02 from contributed funds, and $1,485,227.26 for maintenance, a total of $2,703,236.49. The expenditures were $2,703,077.41, of which $2,619,530.39 was from United States funds and $83,547.02 from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1939, amounting to $45,099.04, will be applied to maintenance as follows: Removing shoal areas in the tidal canal at the site of the former High Street Bridge, by contract, October, 1939-_---_-- __-----------$1 200. 00 Removing various shoal areas in the entrance channels to the inner and outer harbors and in the inner harbor, by Government hopper dredge, January and February 1940 ------------------------- 43, 899. 04 Total--------------------- ---------------- 45,099. 04 The additional sum of $30,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941 for maintenance, removing shoal areas in the inner harbor and in the entrance channels to the inner and outer harbor, by Government hopper dredge, September 1940.

Local cooperation.-The act of August 30, 1935, requires local interests to furnish spoil-disposal areas free of cost to the United States. The act of June 20, 1938, requires that local interests furnish necessary rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for initial work and subsequent maintenance and that no portion of the channel widen- ing north of Point Potrero authorized by that act be undertaken until assurances are received that industries will avail themselves of the improved navigation facilities. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-In the inner harbor there are two modern deep-water terminals, one oil wharf, one lumber wharf, one private general-cargo wharf, seven wharves for intraport commerce, and one ferry terminal. In the outer harbor there are one deep-water gen- eral-cargo terminal, two oil wharves, one small barge wharf, one wharf (at present idle), and one ferry terminal. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Mackenzie removed 377,469 cubic yards of material from the inner harbor channel as maintenance. Surveys and probings were made in preparation for new-work operations for the fiscal year 1940. The costs were $1,235.63 for new work and $27,059.45 for mainte- nance, a total of $28,295.08. The expenditures were $28,932.72. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 85 percent completed. On April 4, 1939, the inner harbor channel was 400 feet wide and 30 feet deep to the basin at terminal No. 1; thence 500 feet wide and 29 feet deep to the turn at Point Potrero; thence 1,000 feet wide and from 26 to 29 feet deep around that turn; thence 475 feet wide and 28 feet deep to the lower end of the turning basin opposite terminal No. 3; thence the turning basin was 1,000 feet wide and 28 feet deep. In the basin at terminal No. 1 the controlling depth was 29 feet. On April 18, 1939, the controlling depth in the Santa Fe Channimel was 30 feet, and in the approach area in the outer harbor to Long wharf it was 32 feet. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the widen- ing and flaring of the basin at terminal No. 1, the widening of the RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1825 channel at the turn at Point Potrero from 1,000 to 1,150 feet, and the widening of the channel north of that point, as authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved June 20, 1938, and the dredging of the approach areas to the wharves at Point San Pablo and Point Orient. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $1,196,435.19 for new work ($566,657.53 from regular funds, $524,- 777.66 from. contributed funds, and $105,000 from Public Works funds) and $342,978.75 for' maintenance ($308,178.55 from regular funds and $34,800.20 from contributed funds), a total of $1,539,413.94. The total expenditures were $1,537,758.94, of which $873,181.08 was from regular funds, $105,000 from Public Works funds, and $559,- 577.86 from contributed funds.

S. hopper dredge Machkenzie removed 733,271 cubic yards of mate- rial from the channel across Pinole Shoal and 1,899,204- cubic yards from the Mare Island Strait Channel and turning basin. The cost was $84,515.97, which includes $1,522.55 of fiscal year 1938 costs due to a retroactive increase in the rental rate of the dredge. The ex- penditures were $87,744. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is about 45 percent completed. The work remaining to be done is the widening of the Mare Island Strait Channel to 700 feet and the extension of the turn- ing basin northerly to a line 75 feet from the causeway between Vallejo and Mare Island and southerly to existing dike 6. At the end of;the year the controlling depth in Pinole Shoal Channel was 35, feet. In Mare Island Strait the channel was 600 feet wide to the existing turning nbasin, with controlling depths of 29 feet between the entrance to the strait and the amnmunition wharf on Mare Island, and 27 feet upstream from that wharf. In the turning basin the controlling depth was 27 feet, except at the northeast corner, where it was about 17 feet. Lesser depths than the controlling depths existed at various points along the edges of the channel and turning basin. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $132,923.90 for new wobrk and $880,186.02 for maintenance, a total of $1,013,109.92. The expenditures were $819,124.01. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1939, amounting to $202,720.15, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1939_______---------- $337. 94 New work: Widening the channel in Mare Island Strait to 700 feet and extending the turning basin northerly to the head of the project and southerly to the end of the existing quay wall, by Government hopper dredge, in conjunction with maintenance dredging, described below, October to December and February to May 1940- ---------- _ - 74, 000. 00, Maintenance: Redredging the channel across Pinole Shoal and the channel and turning basin in Mare Island Strait, by Government hopper dredge in conjunction with the new work described above and during the same periods 128.382. 21 Total -------------------------------------------------- 202, 720. 15 The above new work will complete the project except for the exten- sion of the turning basin between dike 6 and the end of the existing quay wall, which work is not necessary at present.

Fully complied with and approved by the Chief of Engineers July 28, 1938. All prior requirements fully complied with. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1835 Terminal facilities.-There are 37 wharves and 7 small-boat land- ings. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Under a contract, not completed at the end of the fiscal year, 1,645,800 cubic yards of mate- rial were removed from the Fields Landing Channel and turning basin, the Samoa Channel, and a portion of the channel in front of Eureka. The U. S. hopper dredge Pacific removed 146,859 cubic yards of material from the northern part of the Fields Landing Channel. All the above was new work. As maintenance 12,448 cubic yards of concrete were placed on repairs of the south jetty. The costs were $221,790.45 for new work and $151,025.13 for maintenance, a total of $372,815.58. The expend- itures were $261,235.25. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 98 percent completed. The north jetty was completed in 1925, the south jetty in 1927, the Arcata Channel in 1931, and the Fields Landing Channel and turning basin and Samoa Channel in 1939. The controlling depths in the various channels at the end of the year were as follows: Channel across the bar, 22 feet, but a least depth of 30 feet was available in the southwesterly entrance channel; entrance channel between the jetties, 31 feet for a width of 500 feet adjacent to the south jetty; channel in front of Eureka, 26 feet to I Street, thence about 15 feet to the head of the project; Samoa Chan- nel, 27 feet; Fields Landing Channel, 26 feet. In May 1937 the Arcata Channel was 18 feet deep to the seaward end of the Arcata wharf; thence it shoaled to about 13 feet at the head of the project. The work remaining to be done is the completion of the channel in front of Eureka. The total cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $6,321,254.82, of which $2,776,647.34 was for new work and $3,544,607.48 for maintenance.

CRESCENT CITY HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-Located 17 miles south of the Oregon State line and midway between San Francisco Bay and the mouth of the Columbia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5895.) Existing project.-This provides for a rubble-mound breakwater 3,000 feet in length, bearing approximately S. 270 E. from Battery Point, a rubble-mound sand barrier from Whaler Island to the easterly shore, for maintaining, by dredging, a basin 1,800 feet long and 1,400 feet wide to a depth of 20 feet at mean lower low water. except in rock, and for maintenance dredging in the vicinity of the seaward end of the sand barrier. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.8 feet; the extreme range of tide is 12 feet. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1837 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, was $1,043,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, including $5,000 for dredging outside the harbor basin, is $62,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents ' July 18,-1918 Breakwater __ _____________________ H. Doec. No. 434, 64th Cong., 1st sess.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. ..Teminal facilities.-There are two wharves in this harbor, which are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-As new work, by con- tract, 67,458 tons of stone were placed in the sand barrier, complet- ing that structure and the project. For maintenance, 2,448 tons of stone were placed in a breach in the breakwater, by contract, 58,396 cubic yards of material were dredged from the project harbor basin, by the Government hopper dredge Pacific, and rented clamshell equipment was operated for 170 hours, dredging adjacent to the Hobbs-Wall wharf. The costs were $106,516.75 for new work and $25,712.03 for maintenance, a total of $132,228.78. The expendi- tures were $104,088.01. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted during the fiscal year 1939. The breakwater was completed in 1930. At the end of the year the controlling depth in the project harbor area was 17 feet at mean lower low water at the tanker moorings and 12 feet to within about 50 feet of the Hobbs-Wall wharf. The total cost of the existing project was $1,014,243.63 for new work ($797,128.09 from United States funds and $217,115.54 from contributed funds) and $290,005.73 for maintenance ($262,121.27 from United States funds and $27,884.46 from contributed funds) a total of $1,304,249.36 ($1,059,249.36 from United States funds and $245,000 from contributed funds).

SAN JOAQUIN RIVER, CALIF. Locatio.-San Joaquin River rises in the Sierra Nevada and flows 317 miles westerly and northerly to Suisun Bay. Eisting project.-This provides for a channel 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and for channel-bottom widths of 400 feet below Criminal Point and 225 feet above that point, from the mouth of New York Slough to Mormon Channel at Stockton, a distance of 41 miles (suitably widened at bends and at the entrances to New York Slough and to channels through shoals, with levees set back 230 feet from the center of the channel); for a channel 26 feet deep and 100 feet wide thence to Edison Street, three-fourths mile; for a 9-foot depth thence to the head of navigation at El Dorado Street.. one-half mile; for a 9-foot depth in Fremont Channel and McLeod Lake, arms of Stockton Channel; and for a channel 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide in Mormon Channel from its mouth to Center Street, liead of navigation. 17 miles. It also provides for suitable passing basins and a turning basin at Stockton; for a triangular-shaped set- fling basin 30 feet deep and average side length of about 1,000 feet in the San Joaquin River just above its junction with the Stockton deep-water channel and a second settling basin 30 feet deep, 1,200 feet long, and 100 feet wide, adjoining the deep-water channel at the mouth of Calaveras River; for the reconstruction to grade and section of approximately 4,000 feet of levee along the north side of Venice Island Cut. and the setting back of levees where required for the channel improvements; for cutting off sharp bends and making cut-offs in the river; for partial closing of side channels at Lairds Slough and Paradise Cut by weirs to confine the low-water flow to one main channel; and for snagging, removing overhanging trees, and constructing brush-wing dams from the mouth of Stockton Chan- nel to Hills Ferry, 86 miles, to facilitate light-draft navigation on this part of the river during higher stages of water.

Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material during initial construction and future maintenance, and necessary rights-of-way, and shall assume the maintenance of levees. All requirements for work done to date have been fulfilled. Terminal facilities.-There are a number of privately owned river freight warehouses along the river and in the delta region. Freight is handled on the bank, except at and below Antioch, where extensive wharves and warehouses exist. The city of Stockton port terminal has 3,400 linear feet of public wharves served by a public belt rail- road. All except a 30-foot oil terminal l)ier and a 508-foot wharf, have transit sheds. In addition to privately operated grain and lum- ber :terminals, a cotton ,compress and warehouse, a bean-cleaning plant, oil refinery, and bank of silos for cement storage, there are numerous publicly and privately owned shallow-draft wharves at Stockton. In New York slough there are 13 wharves, including 1 for deep-sea vessels. One wharf has a spur track and 2 have oil pipe lines. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-New wvork.-The 30- foot channel to Stockton was widened by the excavation of 357,120 cubic yards in places between points 4 and 1412 miles below Stock- tone: bythe Government pipe-line dredges Saramnento and San Joa- quin, 'at a cost of $57,319.34. Sirhilarly, the Government hopper dredge Pacific excavated 84.520 cubic yards at flares in the channel 1846 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 at Mandeville and Venice Islands, from 14 to 151/9 miles below Stock- ton, at a cost of $6,502.40. Under contract, a pipe-line dredge exca- vated 511,779 cubic yards in making the upper settling basin near Stockton, 666,712 cubic yards in widening the 30-foot channel at West Island near Antioch (5 miles above the mouth), and 429,303 cubic yards in widening the channel at Chemical Point, near Pitts- burg and the mouth of the river, at a total cost of $120,076.53. Gov- ernment and hired excavating plant excavated 72,017 cubic yards from a core trench for a sand levee to be built at Chemical Point, near Pittsburg, completing the trench, and the Government pipe- line dredge Sacrame'nto excavated 72,055 cubic yards to build this levee, the entire work costing $17,770.43. Government and hired excavating plant placed 35,320 cubic yards in bringing levees to grade and cross-section at Mandeville Island, and near Stockton, at a cost of $9,579.94, and similarly 63,619 cubic yards were excavated in digging a core trench and building a levee at West Island, near Antioch, at a cost of $8,094.43. Surveys and borings in connection with channel widening, and surveys preliminary and subsequent to levee work, with related preparation of plans, were carried on during the fiscal year at a cost of $13,635.62. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 189 snags and other obstructions from the channel and banks of the main river to a point about 20 miles above the mouth of Stockton Channel, at a: cost of $2,118.42. Clamshell dredging plant under contract for its hire and operation removed 5,055 cubic yards:from shoals in the main river near the mouth of Stockton Channel, at a cost of $1,811.08. Maintenance of tide gages, miscellaneous surveys, and inspections and other maintenance work were done by hired labor at a cost of $3,382.81. Total costs for the year were $240,291, of which $232,978.69 was for new work and $7,312.31 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $259,202.39, including $4,554.34 repaid to the city of Stockton out of the $8,000 of funds advanced for Venice Island levee work in the fiscal year 1938. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 86 percent complete, the work remaining to be done being. the dredging of a 9-foot channel in Mormon Channel to Center Street, Stockton; com- pletion of the widening of the 30-foot channel to Stockton; construc- tion of a settling basin; completion of restoration of levee on north side of Venice Island cut; and setting back of levees, and bringing levees to grade and section, where needed. The controlling depth from Suisun Bay to Mormon Channel, 41 miles, is 30 feet; thence to Edison Street, three-quarters of a mile, 25 feet; and thence to head at El Dorado Street, one-half mile, 9 feet. A 3.5-foot depth is avail- able in Mormon Channel and 8 feet in Fremont Channel and McLeod Lake. The river, from its junction with Stockton Channel to Hills Ferry, usually has a controlling depth of 41/2 feet from April to June, in- clusive. Navigation in this section,, above the San. Joaquin bridg (Southern Pacific R. R. crossing) is impracticable in the low stages after June. All depths are referred to mean lower low water.

STOCKTON AND MORMON CHANNELS (DIVERTING CANAL), CALIF. Location.-This is an artificial cut located about 2 miles northeast of Stockton. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheet, Stockton quad- rangle.) Existing project.-This provides for diverting the waters of Mor- mon slough before reaching Mormon and Stockton Channels by means of a dam in the slough 3 miles east of Stockton, and a canal 150 feet wide, with average cut of 7.9 feet, thence to the north branch of the Calaveras River, 4.63 miles; by the enlargement of the cross section of this branch to 1,550 square feet, thence to its mouth at the San Joaquin River, 5 miles; and by the construction of a levee along the west side of the canal and the south side of the north branch of the Calaveras River from the material excavated. The height of the levee is limited by necessary railway and highway crossings to about 3 feet above the contemplated flood surface. The canal is empty during the greater part of the year, but at times of extreme flood 1850 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 there is a depth of about 12 feet, and at ordinary flood a depth of about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1906, was $280,395. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902 (H. Doc. No. 152, 55th Cong., 3d sess., and Annual Report for 1899, p. 3188). The latest published map is in House Document No. 25'6, Sixty-third Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-See report on San Joaquin River, Calif. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hired labor was used to clear the channel of brush, snags, and other obstructions at a cost of $2,179.26. Surveys and inspections cost $249.14. Total costs were $2,428.40 for maintenance; total expenditures, $2,446.87. Condition at end of fiscal -year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1910 at a saving of $27,244 under the estimated cost. Most of the silt formerly deposited in Stockton and Mormon Channels is diverted therefrom by this canal, thereby obviating serious incon- veniences to navigation and the expensive annual dredging. The total cost was $350,190.88, of which $253,151.03 was for new work and $97,039.85 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $350,190.88. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1939, amounting to $5,000 will be applied to maintenance work of removal of brush, overhanging trees, and other obstructions from the channel and banks of both sections of the diverting canal, by hired labor and Government plant, September to December 1939. The additional sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941 for maintenance in removal of brush, overhanging trees, and other obstructions from the channel and banks of both sections of the diverting canal, by hired labor and Government plant, in September to October 1940.

MOKELUMNE RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This river rises near the crest of the Sierra Nevada and empties into the San Joaquin River 20 miles above the mouth of the latter. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Sacra- mento Valley, Calif.) Existing project.-This provides for the removal of snags and obstructions and occasional dredging of shoals from the mouth of the river to Galt-New Hope Bridge, a distance of 35 miles, including both forks. The mean lower low-water depths considered sufficient for needs of navigation are as follows: Mokelumne River Location of section going up-stream Depth Length Feet Miles Mouth of river to lower junction North and South Forks ....-------------- _ _ ----- 9 4 Lower junction North and South Forks to Snodgrass Slough via North Fork_ 9 8 Snodgrass Slough to upper junction North and South Forks via North Fork .. _--. 6 1 Lower junction North and South Forks to upper junction of same at New Hope Land- ing via South Fork - - 9 14 New Hope Landing to Galt-New Hope Bridge 3 8 At low-river stages the range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth is 4 feet, with extreme tidal range of 5 feet; there is no tide at the upper end, just above Galt- New Hope Bridge. Ordinarily flood fluctuation is 5.5 feet at the mouth and 12 feet at the upper end. Extreme flood fluctuation is 8 feet at the mouth and 17 feet at the upper end. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1881, was $8,250. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884 (Annual Report for 1882, p. 2637). For latest published map see House Document No. 1160, Sixty-third Congress, second ses- sion. Terminal facilities.-The Western Pacific Railroad has warehouses at terminus, on Potato Slough; otherwise commodities are handled on small wharves or landings or on the banks at various points. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hired labor was used to clear the channel of brush, snags, and other obstructions, at a cost of $819:12. Surveys and inspections cost $418.49. Total costs and ex- penditures were $1,237.61, for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1885. Controlling depths are as shown in the table under "Exist- ing project," except in the first section, where 11 feet is the control- ling depth; in the third section, where 1.5 feet is the controlling depth, 1852 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 and in the fourth section, where 8 feet is the controlling depth. The channel is reasonably free of obstructions to the head of navigation, except for a few that usually develop at low-water stages in the fall. Total costs and expenditures were $73,817.25, of which $8,500 was for new work and $65,317.25 for maintenance. Proposed opertions.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1939, amounting to $2,820.07, will be applied to maintenance as follows: Dredging sand bars and shoals from mouth to New Hope Landing, by Government or hired plant and hired labor, August or September 1939 -------------------------------------- ---- $1, 600. 00 Removing snags, overhanging trees, and other obstructions, by hired labor and Government plant, September 1939------------------1, 220. 07 Total for maintenance -------------------------------- 2, 820. 07 The additional sum of $1,000 can be profitably expended for main- tenance during the fiscal year 1941, for removing snags, overhanging trees, and other obstructions, by hired labor and Government plant.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This river is formed by numerous streams draining the Trinity and Warner Mountains in northern California and empties into Suisun Bay at Collinsville. (See U. S. Geological Survey topo- graphic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Previous projects.--Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1875, August 2, 1882, December 21, 1889, July 13, 1892, and August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1985, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1708, Annual Report for 1938. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1853 Existing project.-This provides for a channel 10 feet deep at mean lower low water and 150 to 200 feet wide from the mouth of the river to Sacramento, 59 miles; thence 6 feet deep at low water to Colusa, 85 miles; thence 5 feet deep at low water to Chico Landing, 49 miles; and .such depths as practicable thence to Red Bluff, 53 miles. Below Sacramento the results are to be obtained by means of wing dams, supplemented by dredging. Above Sacramento the results are to be obtained by removal of snags and concentration of the channel by temporary works, and stream-flow regulation by the Shasta Reservoir upon its completion.

ARMY. 1939 Recommended modifications of project.-In House Document No. 1893, Sixty-fourth Congress, second session, it was recommended that Chico Landing, 52.4 miles downstream from Red Bluff, be made the head of the improvement. Terminal facilities.-At Sacramento there are 4,810 linear feet of wharves, of which 1,850 linear feet are owned by the city and 420 linear feet are open to general public use. There are 245,700 square feet of warehouse space, of which 103,700 square feet are owned by the city and 21,000 square feet are open to general public use. On the west bank, opposite Sacramento, are 4 wharves of a total length of 350 feet, with 108,560 square feet of warehouse space, all privately owned and used. Between Sacramento and Chico Land- ing there are 47 warehouses and numerous small landings. Freight is also handled on the bank. Between Sacramento and the mouth of the river there are, in addition to 1,440 linear feet of wharf with warehouse facilities at Rio Vista, 19 large wharves, about 38 large warehouses, and many small warehouses and landings, all owned and operated by private interests. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.- Above Sacramento, Government plant and hired labor removed 6,081 snags and other obstructions from the river channel and banks at a cost of $97,451.48, and made general and miscellaneous surveys at a cost of $2,403.23. At and below Sacramento the Government pipe-line dredge Sacra- mento and hired labor removed 680,863 cubic yards from the river at Sacramento, at a cost of $83,232.29, including spoil area and pipe- line work. Hired labor and Government plant repaired and par- tially reconstructed wing dams at various locations, at a cost of $14,466.15, and removed 255 snags and other obstructions from the channel and banks at a cost of $1,581.32. Clamshell dredging plant, under an hourly basis contract for its hire and operation, removed 144,770 cubic yards from the channel at and to a point 7 miles below Sacramento, at a cost of $24,201.37; and also removed 10,484 cubic yards, at a cost of $1,000, from Collinsville cut, a nonproject tribu- tary. General and miscellaneous surveys of the river and miscel- laneous expenses cost $4,648.91. Total cost was $158,984.75, for maintenance; total expenditures were $137,321.67. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The 10-foot channel below Sacra- mento was completed in 1931; the entire project is 33 percent com- pleted. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the provision of a 6-foot depth between Sacramento and Colusa and 5-foot depth thence to Chico Landing, providing a continuous river flow of 5,000 second-feet is made available upon completion of the Shasta Reservoir. The controlling low-water depths in September 1938 were as follows: From the mouth of the river to the mouth of Cache Slough, 20 feet; thence to Sacramento, 10 feet; thence to Colusa, 3 feet; and thence to Sidds Landing, 21/2 feet. There is no regular navigation above Sidds Landing, 178 miles above the mouth. No maintenance work has been done above this point since 1921. The total cost was $3,453,046.40, of which $196,616.74 was for new work and $3,256,429.66 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $3,446,157.49.

FEATHER RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This river rises in the. Sierra Nevada, and empties into the Sacramento River about 21 miles above the city of Sacramento. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheet "Topographic Map of the Sacra- mento Valley, Calif.") Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916, without previously published report. For further details see page 1985, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1711, Annual Report for 1938. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1857 Existing project.-This provides for improvement of the river from its mouth to Marysville by providing for a channel of such depths as may be practicable at an average annual cost not in excess of $10,000, and that no local cooperation be required in addition to the contribution already made by local interests in accordance with the requirement of River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916. The latest (1931) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $1,500. Ordinary flood fluctuation is 20 feet and extreme flood fluctuation is about 25 feet. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No 1, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are several small landings, all pri- vately owned. All other traffic is handled on the bank. These facil- ities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-This project is one of mainte- nance. The controlling depth from the mouth at Vernon up to Marysville is usually 3 feet from about February 15 to June 15. The channel and banks have been cleared of the worst obstructions and any possible navigation thereby facilitated. The work remaining to be done is the removal of obstructions and construction of wing dams as needed. The cost and expenditures for all work under this project were $7,819.05 for maintenance, of which $3,978.95 were United States funds and $3,840.10 contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1939, amounting to $1,500, will be applied during the fiscal year 1940 to maintenance, in removing obstructions from the channel and banks by snagging, wing-dam work and dredging, by hired labor and Gov- ernment plant. The additional sum of $1,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1940 for maintenance, in removing obstructions from the channel and banks by snagging, wing-dam work, and dredging, by hired ilabor and Government plant.

MIDDLE RIVER AND CONNECTING CHANNELS, CALIF. Location.--These waterways are part of a complicated network of tidal channels, some natural and some artificial, in the delta of the San Joaquin River. Middle River, one of the principal channels, is a bychannel of the San Joaquin, leaving Old River, another by- channel above the city of Stockton and rejoining the main river about 15 miles below Stockton. Whiskey Slough enters the San Joaquin 6 miles upstream from Middle River and is connected by Empire Cut, an artificial waterway, with Latham Slough and Middle River. Turner Cut is an artificial cut-off at the mouth of Whiskey Slough. (See U. S. Geological Survey, California quadrangles Bouldin, Wood- ward Island, Holt, Union Island, Stockton, and Lathrop.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 For further details see page 1290 of Annual Report for 1934. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide in Middle River below Borden Highway Bridge; in Latham Slough between Middle River and Empire Cut; and in Empire Cut, Whiskey Slough, and Turner Cut between Middle River and San Joaquin River. The mean range of tide is about 3 feet during stages of extreme low water. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1935, was $6,500, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was adopted by.the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 48, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project docu- ment. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are no extensive terminal facilities on these waterways, other than bank landings along the channels, which are considered adequate. There is one large wharf with warehouse at Middle River Station, with rail connection. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1937. The controlling depth is the project depth of 9 feet at mean lower low water in all of the channels. The total costs and ex- penditures were $7,645.52, of which $6,754.22 was for new work and $891.30 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1939, amounting to $1,500, will be applied to maintenance in redredging channels 9 feet deep by 100 feet wide in Middle River at various shoals below Borden Highway Bridge, in Empire Cut, Latham slough, Whiskey slough, and Turner cut, by clamshell dredges under contract for their hire and operation, in August or September 1939. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1859 The additional sum of $1,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941 for maintenance, in redredging channels 9 feet deep by 100 feet wide in Middle River below Borden Highway Bridge, in Empire cut, Latham slough, Whiskey slough, and Turner cut, by clamshell dredges under contract for their hire and operation, in August or September 1940.

SUISUN BAY CHANNEL, CALIF. Location.-Suisun Bay is about 30 miles northeast of San Fran- cisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5534.) Previous projects.--Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919. For further details, see page 1562 of Annual Report for 1926, and page 1714 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 300 feet wide and 30 feet deep through Bulls Head Point, Point Edith, and Middle Ground Shoals to the mouth of New York Slough, and for a channel 20 feet deep and 250 feet wide south of Seal Islands from the main channel at Point Edith to the main channel again at Bay Point. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.3 feet. The extreme range is 9.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $142,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $25,500. 1860 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Jan. 21, 1927 For a 26-foot channel through the bay------------ I-H. Doc.

The latest published map is in Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 4, 70th Cong., 1st sess. Terminal facilities.-Along the channel, between the western end of the bay and mouth of New York Slough, there are three wharves and two car-ferry slips. The facilities are considered adequate. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The Government pipe- line dredge Sacramento excavated 183,305 cubic yards at a cost of $15,201.36 from shoals in restoring the 30-foot' channel through Roe Island Shoal and Point Edith Channel. The Government hopper dredge Pacific excavated 282,390 cubic yards from the Bulls Head, Middle Ground, and Point Edith Channels, at a cost of $25,574.18. Total cost was $40,775.54 for maintenance, and total expenditures were $39,510.52. Condition at end of fiscal year,--The existing project was com- pleted in 1934. The controlling depth in the main channel is 30 feet, and in the channel south of Seal Islands is 181/2 feet. Total cost of the existing project, except work done under the Public Works program as part of the San Joaquin River 30-foot project, was $309,125.74, of which $142,026.28 was for new work and $167,099.46 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $309,124.40. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended July 1, 1939, amounting to $28,427.56, will be applied during the fiscal year 1940 to maintenance, for dredging in the 30-foot channel project near Bulls Head Point, Point Edith, Port Chicago, and through Middle Ground and Roe Island shoals, by Government hopper or pipe-line dredge, in November and December 1939. The additional sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941, for dredging in the 30-foot channel near Bulls Head Point, Point Edith, and through Roe Island and Middle Ground shoals, by Government hopper or pipe-line dredge, in November and December 1940.

SUISUN CHANNEL, CALIF. Location.-Suisun Channel is the project channel in Suisun Slough, a tidal inlet with its mouth on the northwest side of Suisun Bay, about 7 miles northeast of Benicia and 36 miles northeast of San Francisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5534.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water from Suisun Bay to and in the basin at the town of Suisun, straightened by four cut-offs in the upper por- tion; channel widths to be 200 feet in the bar channel, 100 feet in the cut-offs, and a minimum of 125 feet in the remaining parts of the ;project channel; widening four bends located 5, 51/2, 7/2, and 121/2 1862 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 miles below Suisun; the removal of ledge rock from the channel at a location about 2 miles below Suisun; and a 1,400- by 150-foot basin at Suisun, with an extension 275 feet wide and 600 feet long. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.4 feet, with an extreme range of 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $164,500. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $4,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 To secure a channel up to Suisun, 6 feet deep at low water, H. Doec. No. 1110, 60th Cong., by dredging and making a cut-off just below the town. 2d sess. Mar. 4, 1913 Pursuant to this act the project was modified by the Assist- ant Secretary of War to provide for dredging a channel 125 feet wide on the bottom and 6 feet deep, mean lower low water, up to and including a basin 6 feet deep, 150 feet wide and 1,417 feet long in front of the town of Suisun, and 1 the removal of a rock about 3 miles below the head of navigation.

Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish free of cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance, undertake any necessary reconstruction of the power-line crossing over the proposed cut-off near Suisun, and provide at Suisun adequate public terminal facilities subject to the approval of the Chief of Engineers. These requirements have not been fulfilled. ,It 'is an- ticipated that the required local cooperation will be met at the time funds become available to prosecute the work. Terminal facilities.-There are three wharves in the city of Suisun, with a total of 600 feet of berthing space. There is also warehouse space of 33,500 square feet, and an oil-storage terminal. These facil- ities are about to be increased in compliance with the provisions of local cooperation as land has been purchased and plans have been prepared for construction, and financing arranged. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Surveys with sound- ings and for rights-of-way, and preparation of plans for future dredging and descriptions for rights-of-way, were carried on' during the 'fiscal year, at a cost of $3,949.73. Total expenditures were .$3,921.25. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 16 percent completed. The work remaining to be done is to provide a channel with depth of 8 feet at mean lower low water, with the authorized RIVERS AND HARBORS--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1863 project widths from Suisun Bay to and in the basin at the city of Suisun, including straightening by four cut-offs and widening at four bends; the removal of ledge rock in the channel, 2 miles below Suisun; and the extension of the existing harbor basin at Suisun with a width of 275 feet and length of 600 feet, all in accordance with the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937.

OLD RIVER, CALIF. Location.-Old River is the most westerly branch of the intercon- necting tidal channels into which the San Joaquin River divides in crossing its delta. It leaves the main river 2/ miles downstream from the Mossdale State Highway Bridge, or 131/2 miles above the mouth of Stockton Channel, and flows westerly and northerly 32 miles to its lower confluence with the main river, 23 miles above its mouth in Suisun Bay. Existing project.-This provides for the easing of three sharp bends in Old River between its mouth and Orwood (Santa Fe) Bridge; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Santa Fe wharves and Phillips cannery at Orwood station; entrances 8 feet ,deep and 80 feet wide to the Fabian-Bell Canal at its westerly end and just west of the Grant Line Highway Bridge; enlargement of Grant Line Canal west of Doughty Cut to a depth of 10 feet and width of 100 feet; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide with suit- able alinement from the westerly end of Doughty Cut to the Holly sugar factory; a channel 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide from the southerly end of Doughty Cut to the head of Old River; and a channel '6 feet deep and 80 feet wide in the original channel of Old River from the westerly end of Grant Line Canal to the Lammers Ferry Road. All depths are referred to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the head of Old River is about 2 feet; and at its mouth about 4 feet; ordinary flood fluctuations are, respectively, 15 feet and 5 feet; extreme flood fluctuations are, respectively, 19 feet and 8 feet. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1937 is $72,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $15,000. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1865 The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 151, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This docu- ment contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish without cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance as necessary, and to agree to provide public landings satisfactory to the Chief of Engineers on each side of the proposed channel in Old River near Lammers Ferry Road and on the Fabian-Bell Canal west of Grant Line Bridge. These requirements have not been fulfilled. It is anticipated that the required local cooperation will be met at the time funds become available to prosecute the work. Terminal facilities.-The Santa Fe Railroad has a warehouse and wharf at Orwood for transfer of farm produce from boat to rail. The Phillips' 'cannery at Orwood has similar facilities. The Holly Sugar Co. refinery and terminal near Tracy has a large wharf and an unloading basin with three mechanical unloading and conveying units connecting with a warehouse; there is also a passing basin one-half mile downstream. There are about 90 private bank landings along the project channels, some have sheds for storage. Public land- ings should be provided as set forth above under "Local cooperation." Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Govern- ment plant and hired labor removed 173 snags and other obstructions in Old River channel from its head in San Joaquin River to Grant Line Canal, at a cost of $1,800.25. Preliminary surveys and prepara- tion of plans, and miscellaneous work on spoil areas cost $4,386.54. Clamshell dredging plant under contract for its hire and operation removed 151,530 cubic yards from the channel in Grant Line Canal, Crocker Cut and Doughty Cut, about 5 miles north of Tracy, at a cost of $16,998.07. Malintenance.-Clamshell dredging plant, operating under contract as above, removed 9,896 cubic yards as non-project work from the easterly end of Grant Line Canal, at a cost of $1,000. Total costs for the year were $24,184.86, of which $23,184.86 was for new work and $1,000 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $23,681.12. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 32 percent complete, the work remaining to be done being completion of the project channels up to and at Orwood; in Fabian-Bell Canal, in Grant Line Canal, from Grant Line Canal to the head of Old River in San Joaquin River, and in the original channel of Old River from Grant Line Canal up to the Lammers Ferry Road, when the remain- ing requirements for local cooperation, including rights-of-way, spoil areas, and public landings, have been fulfilled. The controlling depths at the end of the fiscal year were as follows: From the mouth of the river to Orwood, 11 miles, 10 feet; thence to the lower end of Grant Line Canal, 10 miles, 8 feet; thence (a) to Holly Sugar Factory near Tracy, 7 feet, and (b) to head of Old River in San Joaquin River, 6 feet. The total cost was $24,184.86, of which $23,184.86 was for new work, and $1,000 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $23,681.12. 1866 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range, flows in a general westerly direction for about 100 miles, and empties into the Pacific Ocean at Bandon, Oreg., 225 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River and 420 miles north of San Francisco Bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 5971.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 14, 1880, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1986 of the Annual Report for 1915 and page 1727 of the Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for two rubble-mound high-tide jetties at the river mouth, the south jetty 2,700 feet long and the north 3,450 feet; and for a channel, 13 feet deep at mean lower low water, between the sea and the eastern end of the north jetty. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the river mouth is 6.8 feet and the extreme range about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1930, was $275,600, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000 for dredging. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of jetties.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, requires that local interests assume the entire expense of providing and maintaining an adequate channel in the river above the eastern end of the north jetty. Requirements are being complied with to the 'Terminal extent of removing snags. No channel dredging has been necessary. facilities.-At Bandon there are two privately owned wharves suitable for handling coastwise vessels. The existing termi- nals are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging of the bar by U. S. dredge Pacific was done during July and August 1938, a total of 71,243 cubic yards being removed. Costs for the fiscal year were $16,889.39. Expenditures were $16,842.70. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is completed. The jetties were completed in 1908, and the entrance channel was dredged to 12 and 13 feet in November 1925. The outer 300 feet 1876 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 of the north jetty and the outer 200 feet of the south jetty enrock- ments have subsided below the ordinary low-water level. The crest of the remaining portions of the enrockments is above low water. A survey of the entrance in May 1939 shows a controlling depth of 12 feet across the ocean bar and 10 feet between the bar and Bandon, in a channel about 200 feet wide. The total cost of the work under the existing project was $453,- 900.48, of which $316,640.21 was for new work and $137,260.27 for maintenance. The total expenditures have been $453,853.79. In addition, $72,891.20 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.--The funds unexpended June 30, 1939, amounting to $19,157.30, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable ----------------------------------------- $46. 69 Maintenance: Operation of 1 seagoing hopper dredge at mouth of the river during July 1939----_-----------------_--------------19, 110. 61 Total --------------------------------------------- 9, 157. 30 The sum of $370,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941 as follows: Maintenance: Operation of 1 seagoing hopper dredge at mouth of the river dur- ing July 1940----- ---------------------------- ----- $20, 000 Repairs to north jetty, by contract, fiscal year 1941 ______-__ 350, 000 Total----------------------------------------------- 370, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1939------------------------------$657,365. 79 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1939----------------___ _____ 178, 727. 44 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1939-----------836, 093.23 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1939--------------------------- 46. 69 Net total expenditures ------------------------------ 836, 046.54 Unexpended balance June 30, 1939---------------------------19, 157. 30 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1939-------------- 855, 203. 84 Fiscal year ending June 30 1935 1936 1937 1938 1939 Cost of new work Cost of maintenance_____________ $424. 04 $385. 68 $16,889. 39 Total expended -824. 55 521 77 16, 842. 70 Allotted -1, 431. 40 - -$20. 000.00 16. 000. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1938_ ------------- $20, 000. 00 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act approved June 28, 1939-------- --- ----------------------- 18, 000. 00 Amount to be accounted for--------------------------- 38, 000. 00 Deductions on account of revocation of allotment 2, 000. 00 Net amount to be accounted for- 36, 000. 00 Gross amount expended 6, 842. 70 1------------------------------- Balance unexpended June 30, 1939----------------------- 19, 157. 30 Outstanding liabilities June 30, 1939-- 220. 58 Balance available June 30, 1939__ 18, 936. 72 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1941, for maintenance 2 -- - -- 370, 000. 00 1In addition $72,891.20 expended from contributed funds for new work. 2 Exclusive of available funds. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1877 2. COOS BAY, OREG. Location.-This bay is located on the Oregon coast 200 miles south of the mouth of Columbia River and 445 miles north of San Francisco Bay. It is about 13 miles long and 1 mile wide, with an area at high tide of about 15 square miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 5984.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1879, September 19, 1890: and August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1987 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1728 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for two rubble-mound high-tide jetties at the entrance; for dredging on the bar; for a channel 24 feet deep and 300 feet wide through Pigeon Point Reef; for an inner harbor channel from Pigeon Point Reef to Smith's mill 24 feet deep and generally 250 feet wide, increased to 450 feet at the railroad bridge and 300 feet in front of North Bend and Marshfield, and for a turning basin 1,000 feet long and 600 feet wide opposite Coal Bank Slough just above Marshfield; for a channel 22 feet deep and 150 feet wide above Smith's mill to Millington. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges at the entrance are 7 and about 11 feet, respectively, and at Marshfield 7.3 and 11 feet, respectively. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $4,165,600, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $165,000, not including repairs to the jetties.

ARMY, 1939 Local cooperation.-Under the provisions of the River and Har- bor Act of August 30, 1935, local interests are required to furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material during initial construction, and future maintenance as and when needed, and save the United States free of any claims for damages on account of dredging operations. These conditions are being complied with. Terminal facilities.-At North Bend there is a municipal wharf 384 feet long fronting on the channel and about 1,400 feet of pri- vately owned mill wharves. At Marshfield there is a broken line of privately owned wharves about 4,500 feet in length, and one public wharf with a frontage of about 1,006 feet. About 1 mile above Marshfield there is a sawmill wharf about 1,000 feet in length. The existing terminals are considered adequate for the needs of the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging of the bar and bay channel by U. S. dredges Col. P. S. Michie, Pacific, and A. Mackenzie was done during July and August 1938 and J anu- ary to May 1939. The dredges removed 1,128,266 cubic yards from the bar and 470,789 cubic yards from the bay channel at a total cost of $112,500.15. Restoration of the north jetty under continuing contract is in prog- ress and a total of 94,021.39 tons of stone was placed in the structure at a cost of $299,745. The cost of maintenance work during the fiscal year was $415,258.28. Expenditures were $332,331.69. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. The south jetty was completed in 1928, its length being 4,576 feet, and the north jetty in 1929, its length being 7,616 feet. The other features of the existing project prior to the work authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, were completed in 1932. At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depth in an entrance bar channel 300 feet wide was 30 feet, and 20 feet between the jetties to Guano Rock. The controlling depth be- tween the entrance and the head of the bay at Marshfield was 22 feet in a channel 250 feet wide. The total cost of the work under the existing project was $7,480,- 271.53, of which $4,120,763.51 was for new work and $3,359,508.02 for maintenance, not including $2,713.14 for new work and $8,386.86 for maintenance from contributed funds. The total expenditures have been $7,396,342.79, of which $7,385,242.79 were United States funds and $11,100 contributed funds.

(See U. S. Geological Survey, Coos Bay quadrangle.) Existing project.-This provides for snagging and boulder removal in a channel width of 50 feet from the mouth of the river to the head of navigation in both forks, to provide a depth of 3 feet generally and 1 foot near the heads of navigation. The section under improve- ment includes the mouth and 51/ miles of the main river and about 81/2 miles of each fork. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges under ordinary conditions at the mouth of the river are 7.3 and 11 feet, respectively, and there is a tidal range of about 1 foot at the head of navigation in the forks. Freshet stages. usually reach a height of from 10 to 15 feet at Allegany, head of navigation on the North Fork. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1898, was $8,000. The latest (1923) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896 (H. Doc. No. 237, 53d Cong., 3d sess.). The latest pub- lished map is in this document. Terminal facilities.-There are several small privately owned wharves and landing places on the river that are used by small launches. There are no publicly owned wharves. The existing ter- minal facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1899. The controlling depth is about 4 feet, with a zero gage reading, in a channel about 50 feet wide from the mouth to the head of navigation on both forks, a distance of about 23 miles. The costs have been $66,921.17, of which $8,000 was for new work and $58,921.17 for maintenance. The expenditures were $66,921.17. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1939, amounting to $3,000, will be applied to maintenance dredging and snagging, by hired plant, May and June 1940. The sum of $3,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941 for maintenance dredging and snagging, by hired plant.

ARMY, 1939 Recommended modifications of poject.-Under date of June 14, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to provide for a channel 200 feet wide and 22 feet deep from the main river channel near mile 8 to and including a turning basin of same depth 500 feet wide and 800 feet long opposite the mill dock at Gardiner, at an estimated first cost of $55,000, with annual maintenance of $10,000 in addition to the amount now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (S. Doc. No. 86, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Underthe provisions of the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938, local interests are required to furnish free of cost to the United States necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil- disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance. Prior requirements fully complied with. ferminal facilities.-At Gardiner there is approximately 650 feet of wharf frontage, of which 60 feet is publicly owned. At Reedsport there is about 750 feet of usable wharf frontage, all privately owned. "The port of Umpqua owns one wharf with 456 feet of water front- :age and another with about 75 feet of water frontage which has not been used generally for commercial shipping. The existing terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work under continuing contract for repair and extension of the south jetty was completed. A total of 85,370.81 tons of stone was delivered and placed, at a cost of $184,804, of which 59,766.81 tons, costing $138,251.95, were for new work and 25,604 tons, costing $46,552.05, were for maintenance. New work dredging was done at Cannery Island shoal and Leeds Island shoal, a total of 82,244 cubic yards being removed by U. S. dredge Pacific during May and June 1939, at a cost of $3,449.87. Maintenance dredging of the bar was done by U. S. dredge Pacific during July 1938, April and May 1939. A total of 241,582 cubic yards was removed, at a cost of $26,182.38. Total costs for the fiscal year were $218,492.22, of which $141,701.82 was for new work and $76,790.40 for maintenance. Expenditures were $309,650.49. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 86 percent complete. The north jetty was completed in 1930. The ex- tension to the south jetty was completed in October 1938. There remains to complete the project the dredging of a 22-foot channel from the mouth of the river to Reedsport, together with a turning basin at Reedsport, authorized by the 1938 River and Harbor Act. The north jetty has been beaten down by the seas to such an extent that, for most of its length, it is submerged at high tide. Soundings taken on the bar in June 1939 show a controlling depth of 19 feet over a width of about 300 feet, following the channel range. The channel from the entrance to Reedsport was dredged to a depth of 16 feet in 1924 by the port of Umpqua, but has shoaled to about 11 feet. No maintenance work has been done in the river channel. The total cost of work under the existing project was $2,604,599.39, of which $2,129,504.11 was for new work and $475,095.28 for mainte- nance, not including $276,500 for new work from contributed funds. The expenditures have been $2,879,099.69, of which $2,602,599.69 were United States funds and $276,500 contributed funds.

Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6058 and 5802.) Existing project.-This provides for two controlling half-tide dikes of piling, brush, and stone, each about 1,100 feet long (con- structed by local interests) and for a channel 10 feet deep and gen- erally 150 feet wide in Yaquina River and 200 feet wide in Depot Slough, extending from the town of Yaquina to Toledo, about 9 miles. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges under ordinary conditions at the mouth of the river are 8.1 feet and about 12 feet, and the same at Toledo. Freshet heights are about 12 feet at the mouth of Depot Slough. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1911, was $72,000, including $43,200 contributed by local interests. The latest (1911) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Doc. No. 519, 62d Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in that document. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-At Yaquina, at the mouth of the river, which is also the head of the bay, there is a small wharf of about 50 feet frontage owned by the Southern Pacific Co. The port of Toledo has a public wharf in Depot Slough, at Toledo, with frontage of about 600 feet. The city of Toledo also has a public wharf of about 50 feet frontage on Depot Slough built to accommodate small motorboats. There are also at Toledo two privately owned slips having special facilities for transferring lumber to lighters. The existing terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1914. The controlling depth between the mouth of the river and Toledo is about 81/2 feet at mean lower low water in a channel 100 feet wide. In Depot Slough the depth is about 9 feet, except for a short dis- tance at extreme upper end of the project channel, where the depth is about 7 feet. Above Toledo to the head of navigation the con- trolling depth is about 2 feet in a channel 100 feet wide at mean lower low water.

Existing project.-This provides for two high-tide, rubble-mound jetties at the entrance, 1,000 feet apart at their outer ends; the north jetty to be 4,700 feet in length and the south jetty to be 5,800 feet in length; for a spur jetty on the channel side of the south jetty 4,700 feet from its sea end, 800 feet in length, to deepen the channel across the inner bar between the jetties; for five groins channelward from the south jetty; for the removal of subaqueous rock from the reef between the jetties, to secure a depth of 20 feet at mean lower low water in the entrance; and for a channel 200 feet wide and 18 feet deep from the entrance to the abandoned railroad terminus at Yaquina, a distance of about 41/2 miles. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extrame tidal ranges at the entrance and at the head of the bay are 8.1 feet and 12 feet, respectively. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $2,048,400 exclusive of the amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1919) approved estimate for cost of maintenance is $5,000 every 2 years to maintain 18 feet in the bay channel. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000 for 1886 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 dredging in the entrance. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for maintenance of the north jetty is $12,000 annually to be applied at intervals of several years. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of the south jetty. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 14,1880 For improvement of the entrance __---------------- Annual Report, 1881, p. 2589.

Terminal facilities.-Newport has about 750 feet of wharf frontage, of which about 450 feet is publicly owned. At Yaquina the South- ern Pacific Co. owns a wharf with a frontage of about 50 feet. There are no publicly owned terminals at Yaquina. The existing terminals are adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Extension of the north jetty, under continuing contract, was in progress. The contractor delivered and placed a total of 62,678.89 tons of stone at a cost of $234,803.61, of which 59,303.27 tons, costing $226,371.83, was new work, and 3,375.62 tons, costing $8,431.75, was maintenance. Mainte- nance dredging of the bar and turning basin was done by the U. S. dredge Pacific during September 1938 and June 1939. A total of 87,031 cubic yards was removed at a cost of $19,421.81. Total costs for the fiscal year were $255,357.35, of which $226,571.83 was for new work and $28,785.52 for maintenance. Expenditures were $135,422.99. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 70 percent completed. Restoration of the present jetties was completed in 1934, and since restoration the enrockment of both jetties has remained in good condition. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the extension of the north jetty authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937. A survey of the entrance in May 1939 shows an entrance bar depth of 11 feet on channel range, with greater depths to the south. Be- tween the jetties, but south of the range, the channel depth is 20 feet. In the channel to Yaquina the controlling depth is 17 feet. The total cost of the work under the existing project was $1,745,- 273, of which $1,050,564.66 was for new work and $694,708.34 for maintenance, not including $729,168.48 for new work from contrib- uted funds. The total expenditures have been $2,354,557.12, of which $1,625,388.64 were United States funds and $729,168.48 con- tributed funds.

Emxisting project.--This provides for a basin 375 feet long, 125 feet wide, and 5 feet deep within the bay, with entrance channel of the same depth and 30 feet in width. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high water and the extreme rise at the entrance above the plane of reference are about 7.8 feet and 11.5 feet, respectively. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1937 is $31,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 202, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation.-Conditionsof local cooperation, requiring local interests to provide rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance, and to construct a public terminal, are being complied with. Terminal facilities.-Terminal facilities consist of two small land- ings just inside the entrance, privately owned and used by the oper- ators of excursion and fishing boats. On completion of the project it is expected that additional facilities will be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Excavation of the chan- nel and inner basin, by contract, was started in January 1939. Oper- ations consisted of drilling, blasting, and removal of loose material to spoil-disposal areas by drag line. A total of 10,122.89 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost of $26,837.16, all for new work. Expenditures were $18,114.68. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 89 percent completed. Excavation of the entrance channel is completed and work on the inner basin is in progress. At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depth was 5 feet in the entrance and about one-half of the inner basin. Costs of the existing project to June 30, 1939, were $26,837.16, all for new work. Expenditures were $18,114.68. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1939, amounting to $12,885.32, will be applied to new work on completion of excavation now in progress by contract. The sum of $1,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941 for maintenance dredging, by contract, April 1941.

TILLAMOOK BAY AND BAR, OREG. Location.-This bay is located on the Oregon coast about 50 miles south of the mouth of Columbia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5902 and 6112.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of August 11, 1888, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1989 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1474 of Annual Report for 1936. Existing project.-This provides for a jetty about 5,700 feet long on the north side of the entrance; for a channel through the bar 18 feet deep and of such width as can be practically and economically obtained; for a channel 200 feet wide and 18 feet deep from deep water in the bay to Miami Cove, including a turning basin 500 feet wide in Miami Cove; for a channel to Hobsonville, 200 feet wide and 16 feet deep, with turning basin 500 feet wide at Hobsonville, and regulating works as needed. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal range at the entrance are 7.4 feet and about 13 feet, respectively. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1925, is $1,026,400, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1925) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $25,000 for entrance and bay channels. No provision was made for main- taining the jetty.

ARMY, 1939 Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Tillamook has about 1,000 feet of wharves fronting on Hoquarton Slough, all privately owned. At Garibaldi there is a privately owned wharf and a publicly owned float landing suitable for small boats. The existing facilities are considered ade- quate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 98 percent completed. The jetty was completed to a length of 5,400 feet in Octo- ber 1917 and restored and extended to full project length of 4,700 feet in February 1933. The jetty remains at project height except for about 400 feet at the outer end, where it has been beaten down by the sea. The 18-foot channel from the entrance to Miami Cove was com- pleted to project depth in 1927, but no work will be done on the 16-foot Hobsonville Channel until navigation requires deeper water. Soundings taken on the entrance bar in July 1938 showed a con- trolling depth of 141/2 feet on the channel range and 20 feet 200 feet south of the range line. The cost of the work under the existing project was $1,322,714.26, of which $574,446.78 was for new work and $748,267.48 for mainte- nance, not including $398,832.70 for new work and $6,450 for main- tenance from contributed funds. The total expenditures have been $1,727,996.96, of which $1,322,714.26 were United States funds and $405,282.70 contributed funds. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1940. The sum of $100,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941, as follows: Maintenance : Operation of 1 seagoing hopper dredge in entrance channel, a total of about 1 month, July and August 1940--------------------$20, 000 Dredging bay channel to Miami Cove, including turning basin, by contract, July to September 1940----------------------- 80, 000 Total-------- ------------------------------------------- 00, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1939------------------------------ $651, 655. 70 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1939------------------- 819, 765. 95 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1939---------- 1, 471, 421. 65 Net total expenditures 1------------------------------------- 1,471, 421.65 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1939 1--1------------------ , 471, 421.65 Fiscal year ending June 30 1935 1936 1937 1938 1939 Cost of new work - ------------ ------------- ----- ------- --- -------- Cost of maintenance $18, 896. 35 $110. 27 -- - -- T otal expen ded - - - - 17, 637. 81 453. 60 Allotted -2, 700. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1941, fp maintenance 2,------_--_, _ _ $100, 000..00 1 In addition $405,282.70 was expended from contributed funds, of which $398,832.70 was2 for new work and $6,450 was for maintenance.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT THE MOUTH, OREGON AND WASHINGTON Location.-This river rises in British Columbia, through which it flows for 425 miles. It enters the United States in northeastern Washington, flows southerly to the mouth of Snake River, thence westerly between Oregon and Washington, and empties into the Pacific Ocean 645 miles north of San Francisco Bay and 160 miles south of the Straits of Juan de Fuca. The total length of the river is 1,210 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5902, 6151, 6152, 6153, 6154, 6155, and 6156; also Geological Survey map of Washington.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884. For further details see page 1999 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1740 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel across the bar 40 feet deep at mean lower low water and of suitable width (not less than one-half mile), to be secured by dredging and by converging rubble-mound jetties, the south jetty being about 7 miles and the north jetty about 21/2 miles long, terminating 2 miles north of the end of the south jetty. Mean lower low water is the plane of refer- ence. The tidal range on the bar between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme tidal range is about 13 feet. The estimate of cost for new work was as follows: For the south jetty extension revised in 1909, $8,014,164; for the north jetty, revised in 1913, $5,966,573; and for remodeling and operating the dredge, made in 1905, $250,000; a total of $14,230,737, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1928) approved esti- mate for annual cost of maintenance is $6,500, to cover the cost of hydrographic surveys only. Jetty maintenance is done only at inter- vals of several years and is covered by special allotments. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905, making final provision for the south jetty, the construction of the north jetty, and dredging (H. Doc. No. 94, 56th Cong., 1st sess., and Annual Report for 1903, p. 2275). The con- struction of the north jetty was approved July 29, 1910, and a modi- fication of its alinement December 27, 1913. The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1921 opposite page 1868. Terminal facilities.-Forterminal and transfer facilities see report on Columbia and lower Willamette Rivers. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Work under continuing contract for restoration of north jetty and construction of spur jetty A was continued throughout the fiscal year. A total of 131,815.94 tons of stone was delivered and placed in the north jetty, and 233,707.87 tons in spur jetty A and a concrete terminal was con- structed on the north jetty at a cost of $811,698.62. Dredging at Clatsop Spit in the vicinity of buoy No. 10 was done during June 1939 by U. S. dredge A. Mackenzie. The dredge removed 501,289 cubic yards at a cost of $29,697.11. Other work consisted of erection and maintenance of sand fences, and repairs to dikes and shore protection at Sand Island. The cost of maintenance work during the year was $875,848.60. The total expenditures were $878,976.36. 1892 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1918 at a saving of $2,873,231 under the estimated cost. The inshore end of the north jetty is in good condition. The outer end of the north jetty is being restored for a distance of 4,200 feet; a concrete terminal has been constructed and spur jetty A com- pleted. Except for some repairs to be made during the fiscal year 1940, the south jetty is in good condition for a distance of 8,200 feet west of the "knuckle." Survey of July 1938 shows the channel westward of the ends of the jetties to have not less than the project depth of 40 feet at mean lower low water for a width of 7,000 feet. On the outer bar a central chan- nel depth of 46 feet is available. Between the ends of the jetties the central channel depth is 46 feet. Just inside the entrance, in the vincinity of buoy No. 10, some shoal- ing has taken place as the result of changes occuring in the configura- tion of Clatsop Spit. In the throat, about 21/2 miles inside the ends of the jetties, the position of the channel has remained practically fixed. Dikes constructed along the south side of Sand Island appear to have been effective in checking erosion along the south side of the island, and the movement of the main channel to the north. A draft of 35 feet is practicable at mean lower low water under ordinary conditions. The cost of the existing project totaled $19,- 985,520.10, of which $11,357,506.35 was for new work and $8,628,- 013.75 for maintenance. The expenditures totaled $19,841,065.99. In addition $475,000 and $25,000 were contributed by the ports of Port- land and Astoria, respectively, and expended for new work.

SKIPANON CHANNEL, OREG. Location.-This channel is a tidal waterway extending south 2.7 miles from deep water in Columbia River. The channel enters the Columbia about 10 miles above its mouth and 4 miles below Astoria, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing roject.-This provides for a channel 30 feet deep and generally 200 feet wide extending from deep water in Columbia River to the railroad bridge at Warrenton, Oreg., a distance of 1.8 miles, and for a turning basin at Warrenton; and for a channel 6 feet deep and generally 40 feet wide, with increased widths at log dumps and terminals, for a distance of 4,500 feet, via Cut-off Channel, above the railroad bridge. The channels are to be obtained and maintained by 1894 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 dredging and, below the railroad bridge, by the maintenance of the existing bulkheads by local interests. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet; the extreme tidal range is about 13 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1937, was $145,800. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $16,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 July 3, 1930 Channel from deep water in the Columbia River to H. Doe.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with insofar as the channel between the Columbia River and the railroad bridge is concerned.. For the channel above the railroad bridge the conditions of local cooperation, providing necessary rights-of-way, suitable spoil-dis- posal areas for new work, and for subsequent maintenance and ade- quate log-dumping facilities open to all on equal terms, are being complied with. Terminal facilities.-The city of Warrenton owns a wharf with 300-foot frontage open to the public. Two privately owned lumber- mill wharves with total frontage of 800 feet are used for lumber shipments. In the channel above the railroad bridge the only facili- ties are the log dumps used by the log trucks. These facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging of the channel between the Columbia River and Warrenton, by con- tract, was done during March and April 1939, 336,007 cubic yards being removed at a cost of $25,492.46. Dredging of the project chan- nel above the railroad bridge at Warrenton by contract was done during April and May 1939, and 24,179 cubic yards removed at a cost of $8,693.75 for new work. Total costs for the fiscal year were, $34,186.21, of which $8,693.75 \vas for new work and $25,492.46 for maintenance. Expenditures were $34,150.13. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939 at a saving of $15,681 under the estimated cost. Below the, railroad bridge a survey of April 1939 showed a minimum depth of 311/2 feet over a bottom width of about 200 feet. Above the railroad bridge a survey of May 1939 showed that project dimensions prevail. The costs of the existing project were $130,119.35 for new work and $81,596.66 for maintenance, a total of $211,716.01. Expenditures were $211,679.93. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1939,. amounting to $22,649.87, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable------ _$36. 08 Maintenance dredging, by contract, April to June 1940_ __ 22, 613. 79 Total------------------ - - 22, 649. 87 RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1895 The sum of $27,000 can be profitably expended .during the fiscal year 1941, for maintenance dredging, by contract, and surveys, April to June 1941.

YOUNGS BAY AND YOUNGS RIVER, OREG. Location.-Youngs River is a tributary of the lower Columbia River. It empties into Youngs Bay south and west of Astoria, Oreg., about 10 miles above the mouth of the Columbia. The total length of the river is about 20 miles, of which the lower 8 miles are tidal. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 10 feet deep and 150 feet wide, from the Columbia River to the foot of Haven Island, a distance of about 21/2 miles across Youngs Bay and 4 miles in Youngs River. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and extreme tidal range about 13 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1932, is $5,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,800. 184626-39-pt. 1, vol. 2--50 1896 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 209, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Terminal facilities.-There are no public terminals or wharves. The Pacific Power & Light Co. owns a wharf, about 300 feet long, which it operates in connection with its power plant, located about one-half mile below the highway bridge across the upper end of Youngs Bay. Above this highway bridge there is a small privately owned wharf, used in connection with the handling of quarry stone by barges. There is also a fish-receiving wharf and warehouse on the Astoria side of Youngs Bay, located just above the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad bridge, and a log dump on the south side of Youngs Bay, just above the highway bridge. The existing terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work dredging of channel was completed in October 1938, a total of 68,549 cubic yards being removed, by contract, at a cost of $9,347.51. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $9,347.51, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1938. Survey of October 1938 showed a controlling depth of 101 feet in a channel 150 feet wide below the highway bridge with project dimensions to Haven Island. The head of navigation is 1 miles above Haven Island, and the controlling depth in the latter section is about 4 feet at mean lower low water. The cost and ex- penditures of the existing project were $9,347.51, all for new work. Proposed operations.--The funds unexpended June 30, 1939, amounting to $2,652.49, will be applied to maintenance dredging, by contract, fiscal year 1940. The sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941 for maintenance dredging by contract.

COLUMBIA AND LOWER WILLAMETTE RIVERS BELOW VANCOUVER, WASH., AND PORTLAND, OREG. Location.-This project embraces 1031/2 miles of Columbia River below Vancouver, Wash., and 14 miles of Willamette River below Portland, Oreg. For description of Columbia River see page 1891, and of Willamette River, page 1906. Previous projects.-Some relief dredging was done between 1866 and 1876. Projects were adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 18, 1878; July 13, 1892; June 13, 1902; and March 3, 1905. For further details see pages 1995 and 1998 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1746 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 35 feet deep and 500 feet wide in the Columbia River from its mouth to the mouth of the Willamette, 99 miles, and thence up the Willamette to Port- land, about 14 miles; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the Columbia River from the mouth of the Willamette River to the interstate high- way bridge at Vancouver, Wash., about 5 miles, with two turning basins of same depth at Vancouver, 800 feet wide and approximately 2,000 and 3,000 feet long for the upper and lower basins, respec- tively, and auxiliary channels 10 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the vicinity of Cathlamet, Wash.; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in St. Helens (Oreg.) Channel, and 30 feet deep and 500 feet wide connect- ing the upper end of the St. Helens Channel with the main ship channel of the Columbia; 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide along the frontage of the town of Rainier, Oreg., extended at its upper and lower ends to deep water in the Columbia River, and for the construc- tion of stone and pile dikes and revetments. The existing project also provides for maintenance to not to exceed 35 feet depth at low water, over such areas in the project channel of the Willamette River between its mouth and the Broadway Bridge, Portland, as have been dredged under the existing project by the port of Portland, no dredg- ing to be done within 50 feet of the pierhead lines. The plane of reference in the estuary, from the mouth to Harrington Point, is mean lower low water; thence, to Portland and Vancouver, low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth of the Columbia is about 8 feet, and at Portland and Vancouver about 21/2 feet at low stages of the rivers. Extreme tidal ranges are about 13 and 3 feet, respectively. Annual freshets have but little effect on depths at the mouth of the Columbia; at Portland and Vancouver they average about 20 feet, while the highest known reached a stage of 33 feet above low water. The estimate of cost for new work, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, revised in 1937, is $3,929,000, including the dike construction authorized in 1912 and 1922, and for a channel 35 feet deep by 500 feet wide, but not including $2,500 to be contributed to- ward the auxiliary channel at Rainier, the work contributed by the 1898 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Port of Portland, nor the estimate of $750,000 for a new dredge au- thorized by Congress in 1922 for better maintenance, nor enlargement of the channel from the mouth of the Willamette to Vancouver, au- thorized by the act of March 3, 1925, estimated to cost $123,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $817,100.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1899 Local cooperation.-The 35-foot channel maintenance in Willamette River, authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, is subject to the requirement that local interests shall furnish free of cost to the United States the necessary areas for disposal of dredged material from the Willamette River and that the port of Portland shall assist in the work of maintaining the project channels in the Willamette River, and in the Columbia River below, by loaning to the United States, when required, a suitable pipe-line dredge in good operating condition, with full crew and equipment, without charge, -other than reimbursement to the port of Portland for the operating costs of such dredge on a. basis approved by the Chief of Engineers. (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 6, 73d Cong., 1st sess.) Under provisions of the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, the .auxiliary channel along the Rainier (Oreg.) water front is subject to the requirements that local interests contribute $2,500 toward the cost of the improvement and furnish suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance (H. Doc. No. 203, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), and extension of the lower turning basin at Van- couver, Wash., downstream for a distance of 1,000 feet is subject to the condition that local interests furnish suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance and that the work shall not be undertaken until the Chief of Engineers is assured that local interests are ready to proceed with the construction of a new terminal on the extension to the basin (Rivers and Harbors Com- mittee Doc. No. 81, 74th Cong., 2d sess.). All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-At Portland, Oreg., there are under public ;ownership three terminals for general cargo. There is one drydock of 10,000 tons and another of 15,000 tons capacity, both under public ownership and operation. Under private ownership, but open to the public on equal terms, are 11 general cargo, 5 grain and flour, 6 lumber, 1 cement, and 9 crude-oil and gasoline terminals, besides out- fitting and storage wharves. At Astoria, Oreg., there is a large municipal terminal with grain elevator and flour mill. There are also private wharves used for ship- ment of canned salmon, lumber, and flour, and for the receiving of coal, oil, and general merchandise. At Vancouver, Wash., there are two municipal terminal wharves. There are also privately owned wharves for shipment of lumber and other commodities, and a privately owned grain elevator and wharf. At Kalama, Wash., there is a municipal wharf for shipment of lumber. The Port of Longview has a public terminal on the Columbia River at Longview, Wash., and the Long-Bell Lumber Co. and Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. have wharves in the same vicinity for the shipment of lumber. At other small towns on the Columbia River between Portland and Astoria there are sufficient private facilities to accommodate the river steamers, and at seven points there are large sawmill docks used entirely for the shipment of lumber in ocean-going carriers. These facilities, with the planned extensions, are considered ade- quate for the present needs of commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 11, Corps of Engineers.) 1900 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Operations and results during fiscal year.-With regular funds, maintenance dredging was done by U. S. dredges Wahkiakum, Mult- nomah, A. Mackenzie, Col. P. S. Michie, Col. Dan C. Kingman, and Pacific, in all bars or channels where surveys indicated considerable shoaling. A total of 7,966,326 cubic yards was removed at locations below Vancouver, Wash. The port of Portland dredge Clackamas, operating under lease agreement, removed 1,497,005' cubic yards from Willamette River below Broadway bridge at Portland. In addition the U. S. dredge Wahkiakum removed 162,800 cubic yards on new work dredging at Rainier channel, at a cost of $9,988.48, $2,500 of which was contributed funds. Total costs for new work were $9,988.48 of which $7,488.48 was from regular funds and $2,500 from contributed funds. The costs for maintenance were $702,912.82, all regular funds. Total costs for the fiscal year were $712,901.30. Expenditures were $716,131.24 from regular funds and $2,500 from contributed funds, a total of $718,631.24. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 99 percent completed. The 35- by 500-foot channel project was completed in 1933, except that a channel revision at Harrington Point was made in 1935 with Public Works funds. A total of 136 dikes have been constructed, including 9 built by the Port of Portland and 10 by the Port of Vancouver. The channel is in good condition. A draft of 30 feet is practicable at low tide throughout the year and at high tide a draft of 32 feet is practicable. In the Columbia below the mouth of Willamette River the least depth referred to low-water datum at end of June 1939 was 33 feet. Above the mouth of the Willamette River the Vancouver Channel has a controlling depth of 30 feet. In the Willamette River a depth of 34 feet at low water is available. There remains to complete the existing project the dredging of the extension of the lower turning basin at Vancouver.

WESTPORT SLOUGH, OREG. Location.-Westport Slough is a side channel of the Columbia River located about 70 miles below Portland, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6152.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 28 feet deep and generally 200 feet wide, from deep water in the Columbia River to the ferry dolphin immediately downstream from the Westport Lum- ber Co. wharf, a distance of about 3,500 feet. Low water is the plane of reference. The average tidal range during low-water conditions in the Colum- bia River is about 5 feet. The estimated cost for new work made in 1937 was $16,300. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 79, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation.-Conditionsof local cooperation, requiring local interests to provide suitable spoil-disposal areas and to dredge and maintain a channel 28 feet deep and 150 feet wide from the ferry dolphin to the upper end of the Westport Lumber Co. wharf, are being complied with. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal is the privately owned wharf of the Westport Lumber Co. There is no need at present for additional terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work dredging of the project channel was completed in January 1939. A total of 189,938 cubic yards was removed at a cost of $16,276.19. Expenditures were $16,276.19. Condition at the end of fscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. A survey made during March 1939 showed a con- trolling depth of 281/2 feet in a channel 200 feet wide. The costs and expenditures to June 30, 1939, were $16,276.19, all for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1939, amounting to $5,023.81, will be applied to maintenance dredging, with Government plant and hired labor, March 1940. No work is contemplated and no funds will be required for the fiscal year 1941.

CLATSKANIE RIVER, OREG. Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range in Oregon, flows northwesterly about 28 miles, and empties through Beaver and Wal- lace Sloughs into the Columbia River about 50 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6152.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1899. For further details see page 2000 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1752 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for dredging and maintaining a through channel 6 feet deep and 40 feet wide from the town of Clats- kanie to Columbia River, a distance of about 4 miles. Low water is the plane of reference. The maximum variation of water levels due to tides is about 5 feet, and to freshets in the Columbia River about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1915, was $4,620. The latest (1924) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $7,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1899 For improvement below Clatskanie--------- H. Doe. No. 218, 55th Cong., 2d sess.

MULTNOMAH CHANNEL, OREG. Location.-Multnomah Channel, formerly known as Willamette Slough, is a back channel 22 miles long connecting the Columbia River near the town of St. Helens, Oreg., with the Willamette River at the north boundary of the city of Portland, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6154.) Existing project.-This provides for the removal of sunken logs throughout the waterway; for a channel at the Columbia end 300 feet wide and 25 feet deep, extending for a distance of about 5,000 feet; and, for a channel at the Willamette end 250 feet wide and 25 feet deep, extending for a distance of about 9,500 feet. Low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at St. Helens is about 3 feet at low stages of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, and the extreme range about 31/2 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1932, was $20,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,300. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1905 The existing project was authorized by the Public Works Admin- istration February 15, 1935, and by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 47, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Terminal facilities.-Near the north end of the channel, 4,000 feet above the mouth and near St. Helens, Oreg., the St. Helens Pulp & Paper Co. has a wharf with 500 feet frontage. The St. Helens creosoting plant at the mouth of Scappoose Bay on Multnomah Channel has a mooring place for tankers of moderate draft. Near the south end of the channel the quay wharf of the B. F. Johnson Lumber Co., 300 feet in length, is the only terminal used for making ocean shipments. Other facilities on the channel consist of exten- sive log booms parallel with the banks in several places, and used for the rafting and temporary storage of logs. All the existing facilities are privately owned and are sufficient for the present traffic. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted during the fiscal year 1935 at a saving of $1,887 under the estimated cost. The project depth of 25 feet and channel widths of 250 feet at the south end and 300 feet at the north end are avail- able. Depths in the remainder of this channel vary from 8 to 50 feet. A draft of 23 feet is practicable at low water at each end of the channel, and in the balance of the channel depths are sufficient to accommodate river steamers. The total cost and expenditures for the existing project were $18,112.28, all for new work, from Public Works funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1939, amounting to $10,000, will be applied to maintenance dredging and snag removal, with Government plant and hired labor, October and November 1939. No work is contemplated and no funds will be required for the fiscal year 1941.

Location.-The Willamette River rises in the Cascade Range in southwestern Oregon, flows northerly, and empties into the Columbia River about 100 miles from the sea. Its length from the source of the middle fork is about 294 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6155 and the U. S. Geological Survey Map, State of Oregon.) The Yamhill River rises in the Coast Range, flows easterly, and empties into the Willamette River about 42 miles above Portland. Its length from the source of the south fork is about 52 miles. Previous projects.--Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1871, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1997 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1754 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for improvement of Willamette River between Portland (14 miles above the mouth) and Oregon City (26 miles above the mouth) by a channel 8 feet deep at low water, 200 feet wide below Cedar Island, and 150 feet wide thence to Ore- gon City; and for a channel 21/ to 31 feet deep at low water and of no prescribed width from Oregon City to Corvallis (132 miles above the mouth); by snagging between Corvallis and Harrisburg (163 miles above the mouth); by the removal of Copeleys Rock, 9 miles above Portland, and by necessary dredging, snagging, dike, and revetment work between Portland and Corvallis. The project also provides for a channel in Yamhill River 4 feet deep at low water and 60 feet wide from its mouth to McMinnville (18 miles) to be secured by means of a lock and dam near Lafayette and the removal of ob- structions. The section of Willamette River in the vicinity of Wil- lamette Falls at Oregon City is covered by a project described on page 1910 of this report. The following table shows the principal features of the lock and dam in Yamhill River: Location: 11/2 miles below Lafayette, Oreg., 8 miles above the mouth. Usable lock dimensions: One lock 175 by 38 feet. Lift of lock: 16 feet. Depth on sills at low water: 4 feet on upper sill; 2 feet on lower sill. Character of foundation: Timber piling in clay. Kind of dam: Fixed. Type of construction: Timber crib. Date of completion: September 21, 1900. Cost: $72,164.83. For the Willamette River below the falls at Oregon City ordinary fluctuation of stage of water is 15 feet and the extreme fluctuation due to flood conditions 35 to 50 feet. Above Oregon City the ordi- nary fluctuation is 12 to 20 feet and the extreme is 20 to 27 feet. For the Yamhill River the ordinary fluctuation is 35 feet and the extreme 48 feet. Tidal changes vary from about 21/ feet at the mouth of the Willamette to zero 26 miles above the mouth. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1930, is $459,300,. exclusive of the amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1932) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $84,000,. including $4,000 for operation and care of the lock and dam in Yam- hill River. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1907 The Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, in addition to providing for certain flood-control works, included therein a provision for such channel improvement and contraction works as may be necessary to secure, with the stream-flow regulations, controlling depths of 6 feet to the mouth of the Santiam River (109 miles above the mouth) and 5 feet to Albany (120 miles above the mouth); and for the reconstruction and enlargement of the locks at Oregon City (Willamette River at Willamette Falls), (authorization was limited to initiation and partial accomplishment of the combined project out- lined in House Doc. No. 544, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). (For "Willamette River Basin" flood control project, see p. 1988.) The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 3, 1896 Improvement of Willamette River above Oregon City_. H. Doc.

Terminal facilities.-Between Portland and Willamette Falls the terminals are privately owned mill wharves and oil-receiving stations. Above the falls there are small wharves privately owned or natural landings. These facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Contract for removal of Copeleys Rock, new work, was awarded but operations were suspended during high water. Maintenance dredging, snag removal, repairs to existing dikes and revetments and other maintenance operations re- sulted in maintaining the project depths of 8 feet at low water to Oregon City and 31/2 feet at low water between Oregon City and Inde- pendence. Due to the controlling depth of 2 feet at low water on the lower miter sill at the Yamhill lock, only 2-foot depth was maintained in the Yamhill River between the locks and the mouth. This depth is considered ample for the existing log traffic. In cooperation with the Works Progress Administration 6,540 cubic yards of riprap was used in repair of revetment at Independence on which the cost to the 1 United States was $13,716.86. 1908 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Expenditures were $103,589.74. Condition at end of fscal year.-The existing project is about 95 percent completed. The new work on the 8-foot channel, Portland to Oregon City, is about 95 percent completed. Removal of Copeleys Rock, which is now under contract, will complete the existing project. The controlling depths at low water on upper Willamette River at the end of the year were 8 feet between Portland and Oregon City (12 miles); 3 feet from Oregon City to Independence (72 miles); and on Yamhill River 2 feet from its mouth to McMinnville (18 miles). Traffic above Salem is confined to log rafts and occasional launches. The river is open between Salem and Corvallis (47 miles), but the steeper slope of the river above Corvallis discourage traffic. The con- trolling depth between Salem and Corvallis is about 1 foot at low water. The bank revetments at Independence and Wheatland are in fair condition. The dam at Wheatland is in fair condition. The lock and dam in Yamhill River were completed in 1900. The depth over the the upper miter sill at low water is 4 feet and 2 feet over the lower miter sill. The lock, dam, and grounds are in fair condition. The lock was in service during the entire year except for short periods during high water. It is used principally for the passage of log rafts. The total costs of the existing project to June 30, 1939, were $437,- 664.10 for new work and $1,796,345 for maintenance, including $14,245.74 for operation and care, a total cost of $2,234,009.10, all regu- lar funds. The total expenditures were $2,211,740.29, all regular funds. In addition the sum of $106,433.23 was expended between September 24, 1900, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appro- priation for such purposes.

WILLAMETTE RIVER AT WILLAMETTE FALLS, OREG. Location.-The locks and dam covered by this project are located at Willamette Falls, a rocky reef in the Willamette River at Oregon City, Oreg., about 26 miles above the mouth of the river. Existing project.-This provides for the purchase, rehabilitation, and deepening to 6 feet at low water of the existing canal and locks and the separation of the canal from the water-power intake by the construction of a concrete division wall. The total length of the canal and locks is about 3,500 feet. The following table shows the principal features of the canal and locks at Willamette Falls: Usable lock dimensions: Series of four locks, each 175 by 37 feet.1 Lift of each lock: Lock No. 1 (lower), 22.5 feet; 2 lock No. 2, 8.7 feet; lock No. 3, 10.9 feet; lock No. 4 (upper), 8.1 feet. Depth on miter sills at low water: Lower lock, 8.4 feet; upper lock, 6 feet. Character of foundation: Rock. Kind of dam: Fixed.3 Type of construction: Concrete. Year of completion: 1873. Purchased by United States April 26, 1915. Cost: Unknown. Purchase price, $375,000. The ordinary fluctuation of the stage of water above the locks is 12 feet, and the extreme, due to flood conditions, 20 feet. Below the locks the ordinary fluctuation is 15 feet and the extreme 50 feet. IA guard lock 210 by 40 feet, which is used only at higher stages of water, is located at the upper end of the canal basin. 2A concrete division wall, 1,227 feet long extending from lock No. 4 to the guard lock, separates the upper basin of the canal from the head race, which formerly led directly from the basin and supplied water for the power plants operated by the Crown Willamette Paper Co. and the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. 3 The dam is owned by private parties. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1911 The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1912, was $680,000. This includes the price paid for the canal and locks. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care, made in 1937, is $36,000. The Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, authorized the initiation and partial accomplishment of a combined project for flood control and navigation of the Willamette River and tributaries, including the reconstruction and enlargement of the locks at Oregon City (House Doc. No. 544, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). (For "Willamette River Basin" flood-control project, see p. 1988.)

Localcooperation.-Fullycomplied with.. Terminal facilities.-The Crown Willamette Paper Co. has con- structed-a timber wharf about 850 feet in length, extending to and supported by the concrete division wall built in the lock canal by the United States. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairs to and general policing and care of the property resulted in continuous service during the year. - The costs for the year were $35,629.88 for operating and care. Expenditures for the year were $34,504.40. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The final report on the project for purchase and rehabilitation of the canal and locks was given in the Auiial Report for 1923, when the project was reported 98 percent complete. 'No further work is considered necessary. The depth over the miter sills is 6 feet at low water. The locks and grounds are in fair condition and are continuously serviceable, except when high water or necessary repairs prevent. Expenditures for purchase and rehabilitation of the locks and canal were $677,122.20, of which $300,000 was from contributed funds. Costs for operating and care with regular funds were $145,371.97. Expendi- tures were $142,541.91. In addition the sum of $452,109.76 was expended between April 26, 1915, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appro- priation for such purposes. 184626-39--pt. 1, vol. 2- 51 1912 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

LAKE RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river, located in Clark County, Wash., is the out- let of Vancouver Lake, located about 2 miles northwest of Van- couver, Wash. The stream flows in a northerly direction for about 11 miles and empties into the Columbia River about 88 miles above the mouth. (See map of Columbia National Forest, U. S. Forest Service, 1935, and U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6154.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 6 feet deep at low water and 100 feet wide from the mouth of the river to Ridgefield (3 miles). The mean tidal range between mean lower low and mean higher high waters at the mouth of the river is 3 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1930, was $3,000. The latest (1932) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, in accordance with House Committee Document No. 2, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session, as modified by the report of the War Department dated May 10, 1930, pursuant to the Commerce Committee resolution of February 22, 1930. Terminal facilities.-There are four timber wharves on Lake River. These are at Ridgefield, 21/ miles above the mouth of the river. TWo of these wharves are open to the public and two are privately owned. The principal traffic is floated logs, which are placed in the river from a log dump connected with the railway at Felida. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1931. The controlling depth from the mouth of the river to Ridge- field is 6.5 feet at low water. The project width of 100 feet from the mouth to Ridgefield now obtains. The total cost and expenditures were $6,700, of which $2,700 was for new work and $4,000 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1939, amounting to $2,000, will be applied to maintenance dredging between Ridgefield and the mouth of the river, by contract, August and Sep- tember 1939. No work is contemplated and no funds will be required for the fiscal year 1941.

LEWIS RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range in Washington, flows westerly and southwesterly 110 miles, and empties into the Columbia River about 88 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6153 and 6154.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1899, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 2001, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1762, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a low-water channel 6 feet deep and 50 feet wide to the mouth of the East Fork (33/4 miles); 4 feet deep and 50 feet wide on the East Fork from its mouth to La Center (3 miles) ; 4 feet deep and 50 feet wide on Lewis River (North Fork) from the East Fork to Woodland (32 miles), to be secured by dredging and by the construction of regulating works and for clearing the channel to Ariel (16 miles above Woodland). The maximum variation of water level due to tides ranges from about 3 feet at the mouth to 1 /2 feet at La Center and zero at Woodland. During ordinary freshets a stage of 14 feet and, at extreme floods, a stai of about 24 feet is reached in the main river at Woodland; Wash. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1913 was $61,500, ex- clusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Doc. No. 28, 62d Cong., 1st sess.). For latest published map see page 3557 of Annual Report for 1904. Recommended modiafications of project. The Chief of Engineers has recommended that the project be modified by eliminating all work on the East Fork and on the North Fork above Woodland (H. Doe. No. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-At La Center, on the East Fork, and at Wood- land, on the North Fork, respectively, the terminals, pile and timber structures, are publicly owned and are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was corn- pleted in 1927. The work done has extended low-water navigation to Woodland and La Center, to which points the controlling depths are about 2 feet and 1 foot, respectively. The channel has deterio- rated badly, due to the fact that no maintenance work has been done RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1915 since 1922. Traffic is light and consists of rafted logs and piling and occasional pleasure launches. The total cost and expenditures were $103,215.76, of which $35,880.44 was for new work and $67,335.32 for maintenance. Proposed operations.--The funds unexpended June 30, 1939, amounting to $2,000, will be applied to maintenance for snag re- moval and survey between Woodland and the mouth of the river, and between La Center and the mouth of the East Fork, by Government plant and hired labor, fiscal year 1940. The sum of $6,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941, for maintenance, snag removal, and surveys between Woodland and the mouth of the river, and between La Center and the mouth of the East Fork, by Government plant and hired labor, fiscal year 19411.

COWLITZ RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range in Washington, flows westerly and southerly about 120 miles, and empties into the Columbia River about 69 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6153.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details see page 2000 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1763 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 4 feet deep at low water and 50 feet wide from the mouth to Ostrander (9 miles), thence 21/ feet deep and 50 feet wide to Castle Rock (10 miles), and thence 21/2 feet deep at low water and not less than 40 feet wide to Toledo (18 miles), to be secured by snagging, dredging, and regu- lating works. 'The water level, due to tides, varies from 4 feet at the mouth to zero at Ostrander. During ordinary freshets a stage of 1916 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 20 feet, and at extreme floods a stage of 25 feet, is reached in the river at Kelso, Wash. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1912, was $39,100, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910 (H. Doc. No. 1167, 60th Cong., 2d sess., from the mouth to Castle Rock, and H. Doc. No. 404, 61st Cong., 2d sess., from Castle Rock to Toledo). For the latest published map see House Document No. 1167, Sixtieth Congress, second session. Recommended modifications of project.-The Chief of Engineers has recommended that the project be modified by the elimination of all work above Castle Rock (H. Doc. No. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-Above Kelso the terminal facilities are lim- ited to two log dumps. At Kelso there are a number of small private wharves and one public landing. Between Kelso and the mouth there are two private commercial wharves. These facilities are con- sidered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging was done between the mouth of the Cowlitz River and mouth of Toutle River, by contract and by hired bucket dredge. A total of 72,173 cubic yards was removed at a cost of $23,365.46. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $1,068.85. Total costs for the year were $24,434.31, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $25,139.53. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1913 at a saving of $6,192 under the estimated cost. The project depth and width between the mouth and the mouth of Toutle River are available.

WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, PORTLAND DISTRICT Location.--The Willamette River is formed by the Coast and Mid- dle Forks which join a few miles above Eugene, Oreg., flows north 189 miles and enters the Columbia River 99 miles above its mouth. The basin has an area of 11,200 square miles, and lies between the Cascade Range on the east and the Coast Range on the west. The major tributaries of the Willamette River rise in the Cascade Moun- tains and consist of the Coast and Middle Forks, and the McKenzie, Calapooya, Santiam, Molalla, and Clackamas Rivers. The important tributaries that head in the Coast Range are the Luckiamute, Yam- hill, and Tualatin Rivers. Minor tributaries, all of which enter the main stream from the west, are Marys River, Rickreall Creek, and Long Tom River. Existing project.-The Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, ap- proved the general comprehensive plan for flood control, navigation, and other purposes in the Willamette River Basin as set forth in House Document No. 544, Seventy-fifth Congress, third session, and authorized $11,300,000 for the initiation and partial accomplishment of the plan recommended for initial development; the reservoirs and related works to be selected and approved by the Chief of Engineers. The comprehensive plan includes the construction of a system of reservoirs for flood control and other purposes, channel improvement, and contraction works necessary to secure, with stream-flow regula- tion, controlling depths of 6 feet to the mouth of the Santiam River (109 miles above the mouth) and 5 feet to Albany (120 miles above the mouth) ; and for the reconstruction and enlargement of the locks at Oregon City (Willamette River at Willamette Falls).

Under the final or coordi- nated plan, the Lookout Point, Quartz Creek and Detroit Dams RIVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1989 would be raised to give a total aggregate usable capacity of 1,820,000 acre-feet. The estimated cost of supplementary channel work to provide authorized controlling depths is $1,100,000. The estimated cost for construction of fish hatcheries and other facilities for protection of fishing interests is $1,000,000. Reconstruction and enlargement of the locks at Oregon City (Willamette River at Willamette Falls) provides for a single lift lock and guard lock with clear dimensions of 400 feet by 56 feet in plan and a minimum depth over the sills of 8 feet. The estimated cost for reconstruction of the lock is $2,500,000. The total estimate of cost, for new work, revised in 1939, is $63,- 510,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of field surveys, foundation investigations, and preliminary design of projects selected for costruction. Details of the operations and the costs and expenditures are shown on the individual reports. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Field surveys, foundation investi- gations, and preliminary design of projects selected for construction were well advanced at the end of the year. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $100,000 made in June, 1939, will be expended for surveys and the preparation of plans for other projects considered in the general comprehensive plan. The additional sum of $1,000,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1941 for the continuation of detailed plans for the development of the general comprehensive plan and for the initia- tion of construction of project units to be selected by the Chief of Engineers.

Existing project.-This provides for a channel 27 feet deep at low water and 300 feet wide between Vancouver, Wash., and Bonneville, Oreg., 38.8 miles. The lower end of the project is about 105 miles above the mouth of the river. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at Vancouver is about 21/2 feet and at Bonneville about 0.2 foot at low stages of the river. Extreme tidal ranges are about 3 feet and 0.4 foot, respectively. Annual freshets average about 21 feet at Vancouver, while the highest known stage reached 33 feet above low water. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, is $2,649,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is '200,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved August 26, 1937 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 94, 74th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of March 4, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to provide a suitable turning basin adjacent to the site RIVERS AND HARBORS-BONNEVILLE, OREG., DISTRICT 2001 of port development in the vicinity of Camas and Washougal, Wash., i at an estimated first cost of $45,000 with annual maintenance of $1,000 in addition to the amounts now required; subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 218, 76th Cong., 1st sess. ). T'erminal facilities.-The only terminal facilities at present avail- able or suitable for ocean vessels on the stretch of the river under the project are at Vancouver, Wash., where there is a municipal wharf. There are also privately owned wharves for shipment of lumber and other commodities and a privately owned grain elevator and wharf at Vancouver, Wash. Above Bonneville, the Port of The Dalles (mile 82.9 above Van- couver) has constructed a wharf 125 by 1,100 feet for use of both ocean vessels and river boats. There are two one-story timber and corrugated iron warehouses, each 94 by 461 feet, on this wharf. The port has also constructed a concrete and timber oil wharf 27 by 193 feet, about a mile below the main wharf. There are also privately owned facilities for handling petroleum products from river boats. The existing facilities are considered sufficient for the needs of the present commerce. Opecrations and results during fiscal year.-Dredging operations consisted of excavating under contract, a channel 300 feet wide and 15 feet deep at adopted low water, between mile 1.6 and mile 12.1 above the Interstate Bridge at Vancouver, Wash. A total of 1,754,- 753 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost of $186,788.70. Construction was started in January 1939 under contract for 32 pile dikes totaling 26,580 linear feet and, at the end of the fiscal year, 1.2,650 linear feet were partially completed at a cost of $182,301.04. The total cost of work done during the year amounted to $398,- 484.52 all for new work; total expenditures were $370,904.88. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 14 percent completed. Dredging to provide project dimensions is 11 percent completed. Construction of the pile dikes is 40 percent com- pleted. Controlling depth at low water between Vancouver and Bon- neville is about 15 feet, except at the lower end of the approach canal at Bonneville where the controlling depth is approximately 8 feet. During the average summer freshet the controlling depth is increased to a range of from 33 to 38 feet. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of completing the construc- tion of the pile dikes now under way and the dredging of the channel to project dimensions. The total costs of the work done to the end of the fiscal year amounted to $398,484.52, all for new work; total expenditures were $370,904.88.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT BONNEVILLE, OREG. Location.-On the Columbia River, 42 miles east of Portland, Oreg., about 144 miles above the mouth of the river. For description of the Columbia River see page 1891. Existings project.-This project provides for a dam, power plant, and lock, for power and navigation. The spillway dam is of concrete gravity type, having an over-all length of 1,230 feet and extending across the main river channel from the Washington shore to Brad- ford Island, which divides the river at this point. The overflow crest at 24 feet above mean sea level is surmounted by 18 vertical-lift steel gates, creating a normal pool level at 72 feet above mean sea level. RIVERS AND HARBORS-BONNEVILLE, OREG., DISTRICT 2003 The gates are placed between piers which extend to elevation 99 feet where a service roadway permits the operation of two 350-ton gantry cranes for regulating the gates. The powerhouse extending across Bradford Slough to the Oregon shore has an initial installation of 2 units of 43,200 kilowatts each and skeleton structure for 4 more (ultimate installation, 10 units). The ship lock has a single lift, with clear dimensions of 76 feet in width, 500 feet in length, and a depth of 24.2 feet over the sills at adopted low water. The lift at extreme low water and normal pool level is 66 feet. The project includes fish ladders and locks to serve both the main channel and the Bradford Slough channel. The lock and power- house are founded on andesite rock, and the main dam rests upon solidified sedimentary rock of volcanic origin. The ordinary and extreme fluctuations of the river at the lower lock gate are about 21 and 47 feet, respectively. The estimated cost of the dam, lock, 10 power units, and fishways, revised in 1938, is $75,000,000. The estimate of cost for annual oper- ation and maintenance, made in 1937, is $312,000 of which $170,770 is for power and $141,230 for navigation.

THE CASCADES CANAL, COLUMBIA RIVER, OREG. Location.-This improvement includes about 41/2 miles of the river where it passes through the Cascade Range. There is a fall, at low water, of 24 feet in the upper one-half mile, and a total fall of about 37 feet to the foot of the lower rapid. For general description of Columbia River, see page 1891. (See U. S. Geological Survey, Mount Hood quadrangle.) Existing project.-This provides for a canal with one lock around the upper Cascades Rapids and open-river improvement below the canal. The section of river under improvement is about 41/ miles in length, and its lower end is about 141 miles from the mouth of the river. The canal has a length of 3,000 feet and a clear width of 90 feet between side walls. The lock is located at the lower end of the canal and has two chambers in flight, with detailed information as follows : Dimensions of lock Dimensions Lift ---..---- -- - Control- Greatest ling Lock Foundation available depth, length Clear At low At high at low for full width water water water width Feet Feet Feet Feet Feet Lower chamber ____...------ -..Rock______________ 469 90 24 0 8 Upper chamber .. _ ...do ....._ _ _..... 462 90 0 18 5 There are no dams on the canal. The lower chamber only is used up to a 13-foot stage (upper pool), after which the upper chamber alone is used up to a 42-foot stage, lower gage, when the canal is "drowned out." 2012 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939, The ordinary summer freshets reach a stage of 42 feet at the foot of the canal and 30 feet at the upper entrance. The highest freshet of record (1894) reached a height of 60 feet at the lower entrance and 50 feet at the upper entrance. Freshets occur during the winter months, due to rains, and reach a stage of 15 feet at the lower gage, but do not interfere with the navigation of the canal. Ice condi- tions, which often close the river to navigation, occur usually in January or February. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1894, including $413,360 for the second lock chamber and protective works, was $3,856,763. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 14, 1876 Construction of a canal around the Cascades ___- _ July 13, 1892 Completion of the canal around the Cascades . ..-----------------S.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-The canal was out of operation during the entire fiscal year because of submergence of locks by the raising of the Bonneville pool. A watchman was main- tained at the project throughout the greater part of the year. Costs during the fiscal year from regular appropriations for operating and care amounted to $844.35, expenditures $900.35. Condition at the end of fiscal year.-The canal was taken out of operation on February 9, 1938, when it was submerged by the back- water from the Bonneville Dam. The total cost and expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1939, were $3,937,273.09, of which $3,903,780.30 was for construction of canal and locks, and $33,492.79 for operating and care. In addition, the sum of $526,- 364.99 was expended between May 5, 1915, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The canal was abandoned as a river and harbor project June 30, 1939.

BRIDGES ACROSS THE COLUMBIA RIVER AT CASCADE LOCKS AND HOOD RIVER, OREG. Location.-Across the Columbia River at Cascade Locks and Hood River, Oreg., 42 miles and 63'miles above (east) of Vancouver, Wash., respectively. Existing project.-The existing project provides for reimbursing the respective bridge owners for the actual cost of such alterations to the structures as will render navigation for oceangoing vessels in the pool formed by the Bonneville Dam reasonably free, easy, and unob- structed. The estimated cost for new work made in 1938 is $1,100,000. The existing project was authorized by the act of Congress ap- proved August 16; 1937 (Public, No. 293, 75th Cong.). Terminal facilities.-None. Operationsand results during fiscal year-CascadeLocks Bridge.- N-one. Hood River Bridge.-Mobilization of equipment and preliminary work were completed on the contract, let by the bridge owner on May 16, 1939, for installation of a.lift span between piers 8 and 9. The total costs and expenditures for both bridges during the year amounted to $27,187.56, which were for reimbursing the bridge owners for certain engineering costs. Condition at the end of fiscal year.-All work below the elevation of the Bonneville pool (step one) is completed for both bridges. The work on the bridge at Cascade Locks is 35 percent completed; at Hood River, 40 percent completed with work just started on installa- tion of the lift span. The total costs and expenditures to date amounted to $383,984.49, all for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1939, amounting to $689,015.51, will be applied as follows: Reimbursement of the respective bridge owners for completing alteration to the bridges: (a) Bridge at Cascade Locks, Oreg., Wauna Toll Bridge Co., owner, July 1939 to June 1940----------------------$493, 000. 00 (b) Bridge at Hood River, Oreg., Oregon-Washington Bridge Co., owner, June 1939 to June 1940 96, 015. 51 1----------------- Total for all work- ------------- ---- - 689, 015. 51 2014 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ElNGINEERS, U.

THE DALLES-CELILO CANAL, OREG. AND WASH. Location.-This improvement embraces about 12 miles of the Columbia River between The Dalles and Celilo, Oreg. (See U. S. Geological Survey map of Oregon.) Previous projects.--Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894. For further details, see page 1993 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1842 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for open-river improvement from the foot of Threemile Rapids to the foot of The Dalles (Fivemile) Rapids, and a continuous canal on the Oregon shore from the foot of The Dalles (Fivemile) Rapids to the head of Celilo Falls, the canal to have a depth of 8 feet, width of 65 feet at the bottom, and length of 81/2 miles, with five locks, as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-BONNEVILLE, OREG., DISTRICT 2015 Detailed information of locks Dimensions Lift Miles Avail- froml lower Lock Foundation Great= est able depth When com- Cost en- length Clear Low High on pleted trance able fwidth ale for water water sill sill full width 0 1. 6 Tandem locks -......

The lower end of the canal is about 4 miles and the lower end of the Threemile Rapids about 11/2 miles above The Dalles, Oreg. The normal river freshets at the lower end of the canal reach a stage of 45 feet and the highest flood 70 feet above low water. At the upper end of the canal the normal freshets are about 18 feet and the maximum rise 33 feet. The canal was designed to operate to a stage of 18 feet at the upper pool and is then "drowned out" until the river recedes to a stage of 18 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1908, was $4,845,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care, made in 1936, is $49,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905 (Annual Report, 1904, p. 3475). Operation and care of the canal were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. For latest published map see Annual Report for 1915, page 3380. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are two warehouses fronting on the Dalles-Celilo Canal, near the lower end, owned by private interests, with a combined capacity of 15,000 tons of wheat. At The Dalles, Oreg., a boat terminal has been built by the city, consisting of a pile and timber wharf, 125 by 1,100 feet, with two one-story timber and corrugated iron warehouses, each 94 by 161 feet. Warehouses are equipped with marine elevators. An oil terminal at The Dalles has been constructed by the city, consisting of a timber wharf, 27 by 193 feet, on crib and' reinforced concrete foundations. Storage tanks have been constructed near this terminal by private interests, with a total capacity of 1,334,000 gallons. The existing facilities are con- sidered sufficient for the needs of the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The canal was in service throughout the fiscal year. In addition to ordinary operation and care of the locks and grounds, 7,562 cubic yards of sand and silt, at a cost of $2,861.99, were removed in routine seasonal dredging. Costs during the year from regular appropriations for operating and care amounted to $28,932.94; expenditures, $29,745.65. 2016 REPORT- OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The canal, completed in 1919, is in poor condition. The total cost under the existing project to June 30, 1939, was $4,808,930.22, of which $4,669,092.33 was for construction of the canal and locks, $5,445.17 for maintenance, and $134,392.72 for operating and care; total expenditures, $4,812,076.89. In addition, the sum of $525,267.16 was expended between May 5, 1915, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

COLUMBIA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES ABOVE CELILO FALLS TO THE MOUTH OF SNAKE RIVER, OREG., AND WASH. Location.-This improvement includes the several rapids in the 123 miles between the head of Celilo Falls and the mouth of Snake River. For general description of Columbia River see page 1891. (See U. S. Geological Survey Map of Washington.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 10, 1872, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907. For further details, see page 1992 of Annual Report for 1915, page 1889, Annual Report for 1931, and page 1845, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 7 feet deep and 150 feet wide at low water from Celilo Falls to Wallula, with no specified width or depth between Wallula and the mouth of the Snake. The section included in the project is 123 miles long. The lower end of the project is about 200 miles from the mouth of the river. The sum- mer freshets occur from May to August and the ordinary freshets reach a stage of 21 feet at Umatilla gage. The highest flood (1894) reached a stage of 341/ feet at Umatilla. Freshets due to rains usually occur in the early winter, but rarely exceed a 9-foot stage. Ice conditions usually occur in January or February and often suspend navigation for several weeks. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $1,475,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $50,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Document s Rivers and Harbors Apr. 8, 1935 Emergency Relief Appropriation Act; authorized the existing Committee Doc. No. project as an emergency relief project. 16, 73d Cong., 2d Aug. 30, 1935 -_ Adopted existing project as a river and harbor project_ ....-- . sess. (Contains lat- est published map.) 2018 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Recommended modifications of project.--Under date of January 4, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide an approach channel 6 feet deep at low water from the navigation channel in the Columbia River to the site of port development at Arlington, Oreg., at an estimated first cost of $39,000, with annual maintenance of $250 in addition to the amounts now required; subject to certain conditions of local coopera- tion (S. Doc. No. 28, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-There are no wharves on this stretch of river. There is a private warehouse on the river bank at Port Kelly (mile 110.6 above Celilo), for handling bulk grain from trucks to river craft. It has a capacity of about 10,000 bushels. At Umatilla Land- ing there is a small portable warehouse. There is a railroad on each bank of the river but there is no physical connection between the railroads and the river. The existing facilities are considered sufficient for the needs of the present commerce. Operation and results during fiscal year-Regular funds-New work.-To provide increased depths and widths in the authorized channel, rock reefs and pinnacles were removed from Umatilla Rapids, by hired labor and Government plant, during the period December 1938 to June 1939. The channel had not been previously improved in this stretch of the Columbia River under the existing project. During the 7-month period 3,253 cubic yards of rock were removed at a cost of $44,364.93. Maintenance.-Work consisted of survey of shoals, establishment of gages and bench marks, securing of profiles of the river at various stages, and the removal of boulders and gravel from the authorized channel at scattered points between Celilo and Umatilla Rapids, by hired labor and Government plant. During the 7-month period, December 1938 to June 1939, approximately 275 cubic yards of rock and 8,050 cubic yards of sand and gravel were removed at a cost of $9,248.54. The total cost of work done during the year amounted to $147,364.69, of which $100,863.93 was for new work, and $46,500.76 was for maintenance; total expenditures were $156,146.68. Emergency funds-New work.-Expenditures during the year amounted to $19,999.99. The total costs for the year, all funds, were $147,364.69, of which $100,863.93 was for new work and $46,500.76 was for maintenance; total expenditures were $176,146.67. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 61 percent completed. The 7-foot channel, 150 feet wide, has been com- pleted to the foot of Umatilla Rapids except for two shoals, one centered at mile 64.5 and one at mile 87.5, above Celilo, where the controlling depth in the 150-foot channel is about 5 feet. The con- trolling depth over the shoals between the foot of Umatilla Rapids and the mouth of Snake River is about 4 feet, through Homly Rapids (mile 117), where the width is only 70 feet. Channels in the pools between rapids are from 400 to 1,500 feet wide. Navigation on this stretch of the Columbia River during the fiscal year consisted of survey boats and Government plant, and towboats and barges carrying petroleum products up-stream as far as Attalia, Wash., and grain down-stream. RIVERS AND HARBORS--BONNEVILLE, OREG., DISTRICT 2019 The total costs under the existing project from regular funds to the end of the fiscal year were $549,526.05, of which $487,716.33 was for new work, and $61,809.72 was for maintenance; total expenditures were $529,790.77. The total costs and expenditures from emergency funds to the end of the fiscal year were $400,000. The total costs, all funds, to the end of the fiscal year amounted to $949,526.05, of which $887,716.33 was for new work and $61,809.72 for maintenance; total expenditures were $929,790.77.

SNAKE RIVER, OREG., WASH., AND IDAHO Location.-The Snake River is the largest tributary of Columbia 1iver, and rises in Yellowstone National Park, in the western part of Wyoming, flows in a general westerly direction for about 1,000 miles and empties into Columbia River near Pasco, Wash., 324 miles from the Pacific Ocean. (See U. S. Geological Survey Maps of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.) Previous projects.-No formal project for the improvement of ,Snake River was adopted by Congress prior to the act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1991 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1849 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for general open-river improve- ment by blasting rock reefs, dredging and raking gravel bars, and by construction of contraction works between the mouth and Johnsons Bar, a distance of 232 miles, with a view to securing a depth of 5 feet :at low, water in the existing channels from the mouth to Riparia; thence a channel of the same depth and generally 60 feet wide to Lewiston, Idaho; and for removing boulders and rock points and 2022 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 constructing contraction works between Lewiston and Johnsons Bar. No channel dimensions are specified above Lewiston. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $327,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,500. The existing project was adopted by the, following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 13, 1902 Improvement of the sections from Riparia to H. Doc. 127, 56th Cong., 2d sess. (An- Lewiston to Pittsburg Landing. nual Report, 1903, p. 2246, and An- nual Report, 1906, p. 1986.) June 25,1910 Section from the mouth to Riparia--------------- H. Doc. No. 411, 55th Cong., 2d sess. Aug. 30,1935 Section from Pittsburg Landing to Johnsons Bar _ Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 25, 72d Cong., 1st sess. (Con- tains latest published map.) Local cooperation.-No conditions were imposed by law. The Washington State Legislature in 1907 provided $85,000, which was expended by the Federal Government between Riparia, Wash., and the mouth, for general open-river work in accordance with the: adopted project. Terminal facilities.-From the mouth to Riparia, 67 miles, there are no wharves or warehouses on the river banks. From Riparia to Lewiston, 72 miles, there are no wharves, but on the left bank there are several wheat warehouses for storage of wheat to be transferred to the railroad on the right bank. There is no railroad on the left bank above Riparia, so that the wheat has to be transferred by river steamers to the railroad on the right bank. Lewiston, a city with population of 9,403, 139 miles above the mouth, owns 4,000 feet of water frontage on the Snake River and has leased 250 feet to a ware- house company which operates a warehouse located on the bank of the river, but no part of the structure extends to the low-water line and the boats land on the beach. Asotin, a town with population of 697,, 6 miles above Lewiston, has three warehouses on the river bank, but no wharves. Above Asotin there are two wheat warehouses, the' farthest 11 miles above. The existing facilities are considered sufficient for the needs of the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. The costs for' the fiscal year amounted to $70.18; expenditures $75.78. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 86 percent completed. A survey was made in 1934-35. The controlling depth,, at mean low water, on the shoals between the mouth of the river and Riparia (67 miles) is 0.4 foot at one point (Haunted House Rapids, 42 miles above the mouth); between Riparia and Lewiston (72 miles), 0.9 foot at one point (Log Cabin Rapids, 107 miles above the mouth); between Lewiston and Pittsburg Landing (76 miles), about 2.7 feet; from Pittsburg Landing to Johnsons Bar (14 miles), about 2.8 feet. The adopted low-water plane is the average of the lowest RIVERS AND HARBORS--BONNEVILLE, OREG., DISTRICT 2023 15-day period of record (-0.3 on Lewiston gage). The channels below Lewiston are from 150 to 700 feet wide in the pools and from 30 to 150 feet wide through the rapids. Above Lewiston the chan- nels are,. at mean low water, from 30 to 100 feet wide. From the mouth to Riparia, on account of the crooked and shoal channels through the rapids, commercial navigation has been limited to stages above 3 feet on the Lewiston gage, which permits a. 4-foot draft to Lewiston. The river is above the 3-foot stage about 54 percent of the time. Between Riparia and a point about 12 miles above Lew- iston navigation is usually continuous, except during extreme low water, which, however, does not occur every year. Above the Grand Ronde River (30 miles above Lewiston) navigation has not been possible at low stages. As a result of the channel work performed during the fiscal year, navigation by the high-powered launches which operate above Lewiston as far as Johnsons Bar has been pos- sible at about a 1-foot stage on the gage at Lewiston. Navigation durinig the past 10 years has been limited to the operation of one steamboat, used for transferring wheat (now abandoned), and the operation of one or two gasoline boats during favorable stages of the river from Lewiston to Johnsons Bar, a distance of about 90 miles. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the removal of dangerous rocks above Lewiston and the widening and :deepening of the existing channels to project dimensions, which contemplate a depth of 5 feet from the mouth to Lewiston, and removal of obstructions between Pittsburg Landing and Johnsons Bar. The total cost of the existing project amounted to $338,722.98, of which $166,873.19 was for new work and $171,849.79 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $338,722.98. In addition $85,000 was ex- pended on new work from contributed funds.

Location.-Willapa Harbor consists of the lower reaches of Wil- lapa River and Willapa Bay, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean located about 30 miles north of the mouth of Columbia River. Willapa River rises in the State of Washington, about 30 miles east of the harbor, flows in a general westerly direction, and empties into the bay.' (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6185.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of August 18, 1894, March 3, 1899, June 13, 1902, March 2, 1907, and June 25, 1910. For further details see page 2001 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1861 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel over the bar at the mouth of Willapa Bay, 26 feet deep at mean lower low water, with a RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2033 minimum width of 500 feet; for straightening the river channel at the Narrows about a mile downstream from Raymond by a cut-off channel 200 feet wide, 24 feet deep, and about 3,100 feet long; and for a channel 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide from deep water in Willapa Bay to the forks of the river at Raymond, 24 feet deep and 150 feet wide up the South Fork as far as the deep basin above the Cram lumber mill, and up the North Fork to a point opposite Twelfth Street, with a turning basin 250 feet wide, 350 feet long, and 24 feet deep at the latter point and a closing dike at Mailboat Slough. The length of the section included in the project is 26 miles. The extreme tidal range at Willapa Bay entrance is 13.6 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.1 feet at the entrance and 9.8 feet at South Bend. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $800,732, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects but including $71,775 contributed by local interests. The latest (1934) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $135,000, including $5,000 annually for the first 4 years of the cut-off channel at the Narrows. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 July 27. 1916 Present project dimensions of the river channels__ H. Doc.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of August 1, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide a channel from deep water in Palix River to Bay Center dock, with a depth of 10 feet at mean lower low water over a bottom width of 40 feet, widened at the shoreward end to provide a small mooring basin, all at an estimated first cost of $30,000 with annual maintenance of $1,000, in addition to that now required; subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 481, 76th Cong., 2d sess.). Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 6 sawmill wharves, 2 city wharves, 1 port wharf, 1 railway wharf, and 2 oil wharves on Willapa River. The city, port, and railway wharves are open to general public use. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Maintenance dredging was continued intermittently by the U. S. dredges Michie and Pacific, a total of 4.6 dredge-months, removing 489,029 cubic yards from the bar channel, 8,025 cubic yards from Willapa Harbor channel at Toke Point, and 446,208 cubic yards from the river channel. The total 2034 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 costs were $105,028.59, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $119,900.21, Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1936 at a saving of $14,686 under the estimated cost. The dikes constructed under previous projects are in good condition. A survey completed June 2, 1939, showed a controlling depth of 24 feet over width of 900 feet across the bar. The controlling depths in the river channels when last ascertained were as follows: Below forks at Raymond, 24 feet over width of 80 feet or 23 feet over project width of 200 feet in March 1939; lower 2,800 feet of North Fork, 24 feet over width of 100 feet in March 1.939; lower 1,200 feet of South Fork, 24 feet over width of 80 feet in March 1939. In the upper portions of the forks no soundings have been taken in recent years, as there has been no navigation there. The total costs on the existing project to June 30, 1938, have been as follows: United States funds New work Maintenance Total Regular -. ---------------------------------------- ... ._ $521, 957.42 $1,028, 582. 98 $1, 550, 540. 40 Public Works--- ... ....-----------------.... _ _ __ _________ . 78, 533.00 78, 533.00 ....

GRAYS HARBOR AND CHEHALIS RIVER, WASH. Location.-Grays Harbor lies at the mouth of Chehalis River, in the southwestern part of the State of Washington, 45 miles north of the entrance to Columbia River. The inner portion comprises two main channels, the south and the north, connecting the harbor proper with the Chehalis River at Aberdeen. Chehalis River rises in the southwestern part of the State of Washington, about 40 miles east of the Pacific Ocean, flows in a general northwesterly direction, and empties into the eastern part of Grays Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6195.) Previous projects.-The original project for the Chehalis River was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882. The original project for the inner harbor was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892. For further details see pages 2002-2003 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1863 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel across the bar 600 feet wide and 30 feet deep, to be secured by a south jetty 13,734 feet long and a north jetty 16,000 feet long, both at an eleva- tion of 16 feet above mean lower low water and by dredging; for a channel 26 feet deep at mean lower low water from deep water in Grays Harbor to the Union Pacific Railroad bridge across Chehalis River at Aberdeen, a distance of 151/2 miles, 350 feet wide to Grays Harbor City, thence 200 to 350 feet wide to the bridge; thence 18 feet deep and 200 feet wide to Cosmopolis, a distance of 3 miles, and for a channel 16 feet deep at mean lower low water and 150 feet wide from 2036 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Cosmopolis to Montesano, a distance of 103/4 miles. The extreme tidal ranges are 14.4 feet on the bar and 18 feet in the harbor. The ranges between mean lower low water and mean higher high water are 9.1 feet on the bar and 9.9 feet in the harbor. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $3,229,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, but inclusive of $211,500 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1935) ap- proved estimate for annual cost of maintenance dredging in the section below Aberdeen is $270,000. Local interests are to maintain the work above Aberdeen.

No. 2, 74th Cong., for Grays Harbor and Bar Entrance, and Grays 1st sess. Harbor, inner portion, and Chehalis River, under a modified project for Grays Harbor and Chehalis River. 1Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930,. adopting the 16-foot channel, provides that local interests contribute one-half the first cost, estimated at $211,500, and give assurances sat- isfactory to the Secretary of War and Chief of Engineers that they will assume the entire cost of maintenance of same, and provide a suit- able public terminal at Montesano. These assurances have been given and $35,834.27 contributed, which was expended in 1931 with an equal amount of Government funds in securing a 12-foot channel to Monte- sano, the remaining contribution necessary to complete the project being deferred until a later date, as approved by the Secretary of War, March 18, 1931. The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, provides that the Grays Harbor Port Commission shall continue to remove all snags and deadheads from the channels, shall furnish free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2037 as and when needed, and shall assist in the work of maintenance by loaning to the United States, when not required on the work of the commission, its pipe-line dredge without charge other than reim- bursement to the Port of Grays Harbor Commission for the operat- ing costs of the dredge on a basis approved by the Chief of En- gineers; pay one-half the first cost of enlarging the channel above Cosmopolis, and maintain the channel above the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge at Aberdeen. Terminal facilities.-There are 29 wharves and piers on Grays Harbor and adjacent inland waters, of which 3 are general cargo terminals, 13 are sawmill wharves, 1 pulp and paper-mill wharf, 2 fish wharves, and 10 miscellaneous industrial wharves. One gen- eral cargo wharf and 1 fish wharf are publicly owned and open to public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 7, pt. 3, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging was continued with U. S. dredge Kingman, a total of 8 months, 1,921,488 cubic yards being removed from the bar channel and 737,845 cubic yards from the inner channel, at a cost of $213,062.69. Maintenance dredging was done in the 26-foot channel below Aber- deen with leased plant, 114,296 cubic yards being removed at a cost of $11,801.24. Under continuing contract, the reconstruction of the south jetty was continued, 658,253.07 tons of rock being placed at a cost of $1,459,889.22. The total costs were $1,684,753.15, all for main- tenance, and the total expenditures were $1,359,059.93. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 88 percent completed. The south jetty was completed in 1902 with a groin at station 1050. The inner 11,000 feet is at elevation plus 20. The next 1,500 feet is in various stages of reconstruction. Beyond this the old enrockment is very irregular, varying from 1 to 10 feet below datum, with an average elevation of about 7 feet below datum. The north jetty was completed to midtide elevation in December 1913. It was later restored and raised to or above ordinary high water, this work being completed in January 1916. The present enrock- ment slopes from about 12 feet above datum at the high-water shore line to elevation zero in about 900 feet. From this point it falls in an irregular manner to 3 feet below datum in the next 2,600 feet and remains at about this elevation of -3 for about 3,300 feet. The last 400 feet of jetty enrockment are at about 1 foot below datum. The 26-foot channel previously dredged by the Port of Grays Harbor below Aberdeen was redredged in 1934, 1936, and 1937, the 18-foot channel below Cosmopolis and 6-foot channel between Cos- mbpolis and Montesano were completed in 1910, and the latter was deepened to 12 feet in 1931. The controlling depths when last ascertained were as follows: Bar channel. 30 feet over a width of 400 feet on the bar range, 28 feet by 400 feet on the entrance range (July 1, 1939); inner harbor and river channel below Aberdeen, 20 feet (May 1939); Aberdeen to Cosmopolis, 21 feet (October 1929); Cosmopolis to Montesano, 10 feet (1934). The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is increasing the channel depth between Cosmopolis and Montesano to 16 feet. 2038 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 The costs of the existing project under regular appropriations have been $2,842,015.86 for new work and $7,569,547.56 for main- tenance, a total of $10,411,563.42, and the total expenditures have been $9,952,293.89.

This river is formed by the junction of the Soleduck and Bogachiel Rivers, and flows westerly 5 miles to the Pacific Ocean at La Push, Wash., about 30 miles south of Cape Flattery. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6102.) Existing project.-This provides for a jetty on the easterly side of the mouth, and a dike, with groins, on the westerly side, with a view to stabilizing the entrance channel. The length of the section included in the project is 1,500 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.8 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1931, is $84,000 and $4,000 annually for maintenance during the first 2 years and $1,000 annually thereafter. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (H: Doc. No. 125, 71st Cong., 1st sess.). This docu- ment contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. .Terminal facilities.-There are no dockage facilities other than landing places for small boats. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairs were made to the jetty and dike by placing 4,901 tons of rock, July to September 1938, by hired labor. The costs were $19,098.20, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $19,826.31. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 80 percent completed. The construction of the jetty and dike was commenced April 1931 and completed in October 1931. The groins were omitted. Ahn examination in January 1939 showed the controlling depth of the entrance channel to be 41/2 feet. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is construc- tion of the groins based on the dike and James Island. The costs and expenditures have been $68,000 for new work and $52,607.55 for maintenance, a total of $120,607.55. 184626-39-pt. 1, vol. 2--59 2040 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1939 Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal years 1940 and 1941, as the proposed groins are not needed at present, and no maintenance of the com- pleted structures should be necessary during that time.

NEAH BAY, WASH. Location.-Neah Bay is on the south side of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, 5 miles east of Cape Flattery, at the entrance to the strait from the Pacific Ocean. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6102 and 6265.) Existing project.-This provides for a rubblestone breakwater ap- proximately 8,000 feet long between Waadah Island and the westerly shore of the bay. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.1 feet. The extreme range is about 14.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, is $1,500,000, with maintenance estimated at $10,000 annually. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 51, 75th Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish all necessary rights-of-way, free of cost to the United States. No steps have been taken to obtain rights-of-way but they can be secured within 2 months' time. Terminal facilities.-There are four wharves in Neah Bay, includ- ing the launchway of the United States Coast Guard, which is also used as a wharf, and three privately owned wharves, one of which is open to general public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2041 Operations and results during fiscal year.-None.
