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 2,450 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 1,081 to 1,276 miles from the Gulf. Previou projects.-The original project for the improvement of the Mississippi River between the Ohio and Missouri Rivers was recom- mended by a board of engineers. in a report, dated April 13, 1872, and concurred in by the Chief of Engineers. For further details see page 1879 of the Annual Report for 1915 and page 1014 of the Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for obtaining and maintaining a minimum channel depth of not less than 9 feet, a minimum width of not less than 300 feet at low water, with additional width in bends from the mouth of'the Ohio River (about 1,081 miles from the Gulf) to 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 Missouri River, 4 miles; all to be obtained by regulating works and dredging: First, by regulating works, for closing sloughs and secondary 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 au- thorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents i i--- Project for regulating works adopted in 1881. Annual Report, 1881, p. 1536.

I Also joint resolution, June 29, 1906. RIVERS AND HARBORS--ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1099 See House Document No. 669 (76th Cong., 3d sess.) for report of Chief of Engineers dated February 27, 1940, containing a general plan for improvement of the Mississippi River between Coon Rapids Dam and the mouth of the Ohio River for purposes of navigation, power development, the control of floods, and the needs of irrigation. Recommended modifications 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 construc- tion of a lateral canal at an estimated first cost to the United States of approximately $10,290,000, with annual maintenance and operation costs of $70,000, subject to such modification as the Chief of Engineers may find necessary when the project is undertaken; and to authorize the relocation of the river channel and reclamation of the area in Sawyer Bend for airport, park, recreational, and similar purposes at a cost to local interests of approximately $17,555,000; provided 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 connected 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 claims for damages that might be incurred due to the construction, mainte- nance, 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-River stages were favor- able to construction work, which was carried on extensively by con- tract and hired labor with Government plant during the fall of 1940; river conditions were generally unfavorable during the spring of 1941 and work was carried on only intermittently. Regulating works were maintained and project dimensions of channels were secured by dredg- ing. The district's standard specifications for construction work were used.

New work.-Twenty-seven dikes, totaling 10,750 feet in length, were built by hired labor with Government plant, at a cost of $250,- 842.37. Two revetments, totaling 1,305 feet in length, consisting of 1,065 squares of mattress and 760 squares of paving, were built by hired labor with Government plant, at a cost of $24,781.43. A total of 1,374,890 cubic yards of material was handled by United States dredges in preparing 5 localities for new regulating works, at a cost of $105,652.40; 24 dikes, totaling 13,580 feet ift length, were built RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1101 under contract, at a cost of $376,336.14. Five revetments, totaling 8,125 feet in length, consisting of 9,050 squares of mattress and 4,781 squares of paving, were built under contract at a cost of $233,- 110.20. In addition to completed work there was under construc- tion by contract 7 dikes to total about 2,220 linear feet, and by hired labor, 2 dikes to total about 1,310 linear feet. The total cost of new work was $990,722.54 from regular funds. Maintenance.-Dikes and revetments were repaired at a cost of $162,372.21. The required 9-foot channel was maintained, except for the short periods needed to move a dredge to the shoal, by four United States hydraulic dredges. During the year 61 shoals de- veloped, of which 62 were dredged once and 2 were dredged twice. There were 8,217,354 cubic yards of sand and gravel removed by these dredges from the channels through 64 bars; 124,663 cubic yards of material was removed in outside-the-channel dredging, and 58,036 cubic yards of material was removed in miscellaneous snagging opera- tions by dipper and hydraulic dredges. The channels dredged had a combined length of 21 miles, an average width of 360 feet, and an average gain in depth of 6.2 feet. The total cost of maintenance dredging was $439,165.65. Hydrographic surveys were made covering 96 miles of river, costing $32,856.69. Other miscellaneous costs were: Mooring piles, $641.40; snagging, $50,010.35; aids to navigation, $12,267.32; studies at Chain of Rocks, $3,608.18; cooperative stream gaging, $1,420.66; and gages, $9,487.03; a stream gaging car track, suspended from Thebes Bridge (mile 43.7) was completed by contract at a cost of $13,221.46; all charged to maintenance. The total cost of all maintenance was $725,050.95. The costs during the year were $990,722.54 from regular funds for new work and $725,050.95 for maintenance, a total of $1,715,773.49. The expenditures were $1,568,351.79 from regular funds. Condition at end of fscal year.-Open river regulating works are about 80 percent completed. The quantities required to complete the project are estimated at 100 dikes, 50,000 linear feet, and 40 revetments, 190,625 linear feet. Dikes and revetments are now in 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 main- tained throughout the navigation season. The navigation season for- merly extended from the middle of February to the middle of Decem- ber, 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 (period of record, 80 years) 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. However, the 10 years ending June 30, 1940, have been years of unusual low water, the mean stage of river for the fiscal year 1940 being 1.97 feet, St. Louis gage. The mean stage of river for the fiscal year 1941 was 4.84 feet. The following table gives condition of the channel during the fiscal year 1941: 1102 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1123 Creek diversion channel to Alton, Ill. The small industrial cities of Hartford, Roxanna, and Wood River also lie within the district. Existing project.-This provides for raising and enlarging the existing levee system by the reconstruction of about 12 miles of flank levees and the construction of about 7.5 miles of new river front and 2.5 miles of new flank levees, and involves the placing of about 2,840,000 cubic yards of earthwork, the construction of 30 drainage structures, one spillway dam in Wood River, and 600 linear feet of concrete flood wall. The project when completed will afford protection to this dis- trict against the maximum flood of record (1844) confined. The con- struction cost, estimated in 1937, is $750,000, and the estimated cost of lands and damages is $80,000. The project was selected and approved by the Chief of Engineers for construction under the general author- ization for the upper Mississippi River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. Local cooperation.-See page 7. Assurance of local cooperation, has not yet been furnished, but the local district has expressed a desire to cooperate. Operations ad results during fiscal year.-The work done consisted of surveys and preparation of detailed plans by hired labor at a cost of $12,651.46 Condition at end of fiscal year.--No construction work has been started. The estimated work required for the construction of the project is the placing of about 2,840,000 cubic yards of earthwork and the construction of 30 gravity drainage structures, 1 spillway dam, and 600 linear feet of concrete flood wall. The costs to June 30, 1941, were $12,651.46 from regular funds for new work. The expenditures were $12,376.81. Proposed operations.-Of the balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, $362,623.19, the amount of $274.65 will be applied to ac- counts payable, June 30, 1941, and the amount of $12,348.54 will be applied to the preparation of detailed plans by hired labor. The amount of $350,000 allotted from appropriations for the fiscal year 1942 has been placed in budgetary reserve in accordance with the sug- gestion of the Bureau of the Budget under date of July 29, 1941. The additional sum of $375,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 on raising and enlarging lower flank levees and river-front levees by contract.

Location.--"The Mississippi River rises in the northern part of Minnesota, flows about 2,450 miles in a southerly direction, and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The portion included in this report extends from the mouth of the Missouri River to the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railway bridge, Minneapolis, a distance of about 663 miles. Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, June 18, 1878, August 18, 1894, February 9, 1905, March 3, 1905, March 2, 1907, June 25, 1910, September 22, 1922, March 3, 1925, January 21, 1927, and July 3, 1930. For further details see pages 1879, 1880, and 1887 of the Annual Report for 1915, pages 1106, 1107, and 1108 of the Annual Report for 1932, and page 1047 of the Annual Report for 1938. Existing proyect.-This project provides for a channel of 9-foot depth and of adequate width between the mouth of the Missouri River (1,276 miles from the Gulf) and the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Railway bridge at Minneapolis, by the construction of a system of locks and dams, supplemented by dredging. The project also provides for a further improvement at St. Paul to pro- vide a basin 9 feet deep, varying in width from 400 to 1,100 feet and extending downstream from the Robert Street Bridge for a distance of 2.7 miles, and at Minneapolis to provide adequate ter- minal facilities. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1939, is $170,000,000, which includes $8,259,000 for work upstream from the lower North- ern Pacific Railway bridge at Minneapolis, but is exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest approved estimate for maintenance and operating cost is $1,805,000, annually, including $795,000 for operating and care of locks and dams.

ILLINOIS AND MISSISSIPPI CANAL, ILL. Location.-This canal connects the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, proceeding from a point on the Illinois River about 12 miles from 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 canal, 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 canal 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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1150 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 fouidations. The Sandy Lake Dam includes a lock 160 feet long, 30 feet wide, with a maximum lift of. 9.5 feet and a depth of 2.5 feet on the lower sill at low water. The abandonment of the ditches to connect Long Lake to Round Lake and Round Lake to Gull Lake was recommended in House Document No. 413, Sixty-fourth Congress, first session, and was ordered by Congress in the River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 For reconstruction of 4 of the 5 original dams, and surveys to determine the extent of lands over- flowed by the reservoirs.

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 Wisconsin, 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 1172 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 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 Wis- consin, 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. 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. These conditions were complied with by resolutions and agreements adopted by the city council of the city of La Crosse and approved by the Secretary of War on Sep- tember 5, 1940. Terrrinal facilities.-Wadhams division of the Socony Vacuum Oil Co., owns and operates an oil terminal on the left bank 0.4 mile above the mouth. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A contract for dredging the channel was completed on June 19, 1941. Costs for the year were $63,356.12 for new work. The expenditures were $48,876.67. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 87 percent complete. Channel dredging completed provides 9-foot depth for width of about 300 feet throughout the full length of the project except for contraction to 100 feet at the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad bridge, mile 1.0. Work remaining to complete the project consists of removal of obstructions at various points out- side the dredged area to clear the channel to full project width. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1941, were $67,453.29 for new work. The expenditures were $52,916.26. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1941 ___________------------ $14, 537. 03 New work: Dredging channel (removal of obstruction) with Gov- ernment plant and hired labor (September and October, 1941)- .. 10, 000. 00 Total new work------------------------------------------ 24, 537. 03 Maintenance: Dredging channel with Government plant and hired labor (May and June 1942) -------------------------------------------- 2, 500. 00 Unallocated balance------------------------------------------7, 546. 71 Total all work -------------------------------------------- 34, 583. 74 The additional sum of $2,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year, 1943, to be applied to maintenance dredging during May and June 1942.

ST. CROIX RIVER, WIS. AND MINN. Location.-The source of the river is in northwestern Wisconsin. It is about 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 below the Northern Pacific Railroad bridge, Minneapolis, Minn. The por- tion 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.) Eaisting 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 Mississippi River to afford a depth of 9 feet, and a channel 3 feet deep at mean low water, between Stillwater and Taylors Falls (28 miles); also the improvement of the harbor and water front at Stillwater. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1927, was $150,400. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance for that portion of the project between the mouth and Stillwater is 1174 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 $10,000. The latest authorization (1939) for maintenance work on the stretch between Stillwater and Taylors Falls is limited to an expendi- ture 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.

No. 184, 72d Cong., 1st sess. The latest published map is in House Document No. 1008, Sixty- fourth Congress, first session. 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.-Maintenance channel dredging, involving removal of a total of 103,886 cubic yards of mate- rial, was carried out by Government plant and hired labor in the section of the river below Stillwater. Costs for the year were $9,935.76 for maintenance. The expenditures were $9,989.41. 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 canalization project was acquired. The maximum draft that could be carried June 30, 1941, between Still- water and Taylors Falls was about 2.5 feet; below Stillwater, 9 feet. The total costs and expenditures to June 30, 1941, were $244,798.39, being $150,409.50 for new work and $94,388.89 for maintenance.

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 feet of water from the Mississippi River to Shakopee, which will ac- commodate vessels of 3-foot draft. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1892, was $10,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 42 5144-41--pt. 1, vol. 2-- 6 1176 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 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 fiseal year.-A few snags were re- moved and navigation aids placed and serviced as required between the mouth and Shakopee. Costs and expenditures for the year were $128.02 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1931. Navigation by small craft to Shakopee was practicable for drafts not in excess of 3 feet. The total costs and expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1941, were $46,309.19, being $12,730.69 for new work and $33,578.50 for maintenance.

DRY RUN, IOWA Location.-In northeastern Iowa, on Dry Run, a tributary of the upper Iowa River at Decorah, Iowa. Existing project.-The Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, authorized a flood-retention reservoir and channel enlargement down- stream for the protection of the city of Decorah. The Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941, Public, No. 228, Seventy-seventh Con- gress, first session, modified the project to provide for diversion of Dry Run into the upper Iowa River, a levee system along the upper Iowa River in Decorah for protection of adjacent property against aug- mented high-water flow, raising a section of railroad tracks and State Highway No. 9, and necessary alterations to bridges and protection to existing structures in the vicinity. The diversion is to be accomplished by a dam across Dry Run at a point about 1 mile southwest of Decorah and a diversion channel 3,200 feet in length from that point through high ground to the upper Iowa River on the north. The project will provide complete protection to residential, industrial, and commercial areas totaling about 260 acres within the city limits of Decorah against the maximum probable flood on Dry Run and the upper Iowa River. Floods creating serious damages have occurred about once every 11 years. The estimated Federal cost is $460,000, and the cost to local interests for lands and damages is $22,000. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Studies involving a pro- posed levee system along the upper Iowa River in connection with the diversion of Dry Run were completed. Costs for the year were $2,244.64 for new work. The expenditures were $2,265.50. RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST.

S. ARMY, 1941 10. LAKE TRAVERSE AND BOIS DE SIOUX RIVER, S. DAK. Location.-The works covered by this project lie along Lake Traverse and Bois de Sioux River between the upper end of Lake Traverse at Browns Valley, Minn., and the mouth of Bois de Sioux River at Breckenridge, Minn. The lake drains through the river to the Red River of the North, and the two waters form a portion of the boundary between the State of Minnesota and the States of North and South Dakota. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for use of Lake Traverse as a flood control and water conservation reservoir and for channel improvement in the river below the lake. It includes con- struction of a dam near White Rock, S. Dak., at the north end of Lake Traverse, a structure at the Reservation Highway crossing for control of the upper section of the reservoir, levees, and embankments necessary near Browns Valley, Minn., and channel improvement of approximately 24 miles of the Bois de Sioux River from the outlet of Lake Traverse northward toward Breckenridge, Minn. The dam near White Rock, S. Dak., consists of two sections of rolled fill embankment and a movable-gate control section between with a total length of ap- proximately 14,400 feet from high ground on the Minnesota side to high ground on the South Dakota side, and, supplemented by channel improvement of the Bois de Sioux River downstream and an embank- ment approximately 5,000 feet long at the south end of Lake Traverse for the protection of Browns Valley, Minn., constitutes the flood-control feature of the project. The structure at Reservation Highway cross- ing consists of a stone-paved dike spillway with superimposed stop log spans with total length of approximately 113 feet between steel sheet pile abutment walls behind which compacted fill connects with the existing highway, and will be operated to restore and maintain the water level in the upper section of the lake. The project, with reservoir capacity for flood control of 126,000 acre-feet, will afford protection to about 42,000 acres of agricultural land from floods up to those which may be expected to occur once in 30 years and should re- store Lake Traverse to its former natural condition as a habitat for an abundance of wildlife and fish. The latest approved estimate of cost (1937) is $1,474,000, of which $1,115,200 is for construction and $358,800 for land and damages. The latest (1941) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $5,500. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 22, 1936. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fscal year.-Contracts for construc- tion of the reservation control structure and the White Rock Dam, and for two highway bridges and two railway bridges over the Bois de Sioux River, were completed. A contract for reconstruction of Res- ervation Highway was completed except for soil-cement road surfacing and seeding embankment slopes. Under contract for channel improve- ment of the Bois de Sioux River, a total of 2,750,000 cubic yards of material was excavated, completing approximately 21.6 miles of the section under improvement. Work under contract on the Browns Valley dike was about 26 percent complete. Acquisition of lands RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1183 during the year involved purchase of 850 acres. Costs for the year for dam construction and appurtenant works were $189,803.01; for channel excavation, $187,576.94; for dike construction, $9,863.22; for acquisi- tion of land and flowage rights, $70,426.44; $101,618.57 for reconstruc- tion of highways and bridges, and $9,482.18 for surveys and designs. Cost of work by contract was $488,238.09; by hired labor, $80,532.27. Total costs for the year were $568,770.36 for new work. The expendi- tures were $577,805.44. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project as a whole was 62 percent complete. Contracts have been completed as follows: Framing and exterior of dam tender's dwelling, May 10, 1940; Great Northern Railway bridge, July 22, 1940; reservation control structure, September 4, 1940; Blackmer and White Rock Highway bridges, October 3, 1940; White Rock Dam, May 24, 1941, and the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, & Pacific Railroad bridge at White Rock June 13, 1941. Utilities and foundation for dam tender's dwelling have been completed by hired labor. Work in progress consisted of channel improvement of the Bois de Sioux River, 91 percent complete; reconstruction of Reservation Highway, 76 percent complete; Browns Valley dike, 26 percent complete; and field and office work in connec- tion with acquisition of lands and flowage rights. Work remaining to be initiated to complete the project included alteration of bridges and raising sections of highways along the South Dakota side of Lake Traverse, construction of an esplanade and completion of dam tender's dwelling at the White Rock Dam, and surfacing certain sections of Minnesota highways included in the project boundaries. Approximately 6,200 acres of land for which fee title is to be acquired and about 8,800 acres upon which flowage easements are to be obtained are involved in the land .and flowage acquisition neces- sary. Of these totals, fee title to 850 acres has been acquired. The total costs under the existing project to June 30,1941, were $904,766.62 for new work. The expenditures were $858,746.16.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1185 11. LAC QUI PARLE RESERVOIR, MINNESOTA RIVER, MINN. Location.-The works covered by this project lie along Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes and the Minnesota River between the head of Marsh Lake and Granite Falls, Minn. Existing project.-Constructionof the Lac qui Parle Reservoir was initiated as a Works Progress Administration project sponsored by the State of Minnesota, prior to its authorization as a Federal project by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The present plan of improvement provides for completion and maintenance by the War Department of the structures on Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes and the Chippewa River diversion works, substantially completed by the Work Projects Administration for use of Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes as flood control and water conservation reservoirs, and for channel improvement of the Minnesota River below the lakes. The project includes a main dam at the outlet of Lac qui Parle Lake, a structure between Marsh Lake and Lake Lac qui Parle, for control of the Marsh Lake Reservoir, a dam and diversion channel near Watson, Minn., for diverting floodwaters of the Chippewa River into the Lac qui Parle Reservoir, necessary alterations to highways, rail- roads, and bridges in the vicinity, and improvement of the channel of the Minnesota River at various locations between Lake Lac qui Parle and Granite Fafls. The Lac qui Parle Dam, which carries a high- way across the Minnesota River, consists of a control structure of 12 bridge spans incorporating sluice gates and a fixed spillway weir, a 2,500-foot emergency spillway, and sections of highway embankment connecting with high ground on either side of the valley. The Marsh Lake Dam consists of a 110-foot concrete spillway and two sections of dredged earth fill totaling approximately 8,500 feet in length. The Chippewa River Flood Diversion Dam consists of a concrete fixed crest structure supporting a highway bridge, and a section of earth fill through which is provided a conduit for discharge of low water flow. The diversion channel for passing floodwaters of the Chippewa River into the Lac qui Parle Reservoir is 3,500 feet in length cut through a natural ridge separating the river and an arm of the lake. A rolled earth fill dike extending along the lower south side of the channel is an extension of the diversion dam and serves also to protect the adjacent railroad tracks from being flooded. Improve- ment of the Minnesota River between Lake Lac qui Parle and Granite Falls consists of rock removal and cut-offs at various locations to provide for increasing the bank-full capacity of the channel to about 4,000 second-feet. The project, with reservoir capacity of about 94,500 acre-feet above normal elevations of the two conservation pools, will provide protection for agricultural lands against summer floods esti- mated to have a frequency of about once in 25 years and protection against spring floods having a frequency of about once in 12 years. Storage of 58,500 acre-feet for conservation purposes provided below normal elevations of conservation pools will result in improved lake levels for recreation and game conservation in addition to providing for increased low water flow downstream for agricultural interests and for sewage disposal at Granite Falls. The estimated cost to the United States for completion of the project is $281,350 for construction and $410,000 for lands and damages. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $9,000. 1186 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Detailed plans were com- pleted. Plans and specifications for channel improvement of the Min- nesota River were practically completed. Costs for the year were $6,322.71 for new work. The expenditures were $5,652.70. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction has been carried out by the War Department. Work remaining to complete the project includes channel improvement of the Minnesota River, raising the Great Northern Railway crossing near Appleton, raising or relocating the Louisburg-Correll Highway, minor alterations to the Lac qui Parle and Marsh Lake Dams, clearing portions of reservoir areas, and acquisi- tion of land and flowage rights. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1941, were $29,327.03 for new work. The expendi- tures were $28,774.50.

Location.-The Illinois River (entirely within the State of Illinois), formed by the confluence of the Kankakee and the Des Plaines Rivers, flows in a southwesterly direction and enters the Mississippi at Graf- ton, 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 com- prises 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 provides 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 construction 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; Sag 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. fThe project also provides for a channel 9 feet deep and 300 feet wide in Calumet and Little Calumet Rivers, from turning 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 Thir- tieth Street on the Calumet River in Chicago, Ill., to One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Street on the Little Calumet River in Burnham, Ill., and the abandonment and discontinuance 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 Chi- cago 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 1941, is $28,029,500, ex- clusive 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 mainienance $448,000 annually. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 425144-41-pt. 1, vol. 2-- 7 1192 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1195 Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of January 18, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project, as indicated below, at 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 One 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 reversals of flow and to regulate 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 11.20 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 inter- ests furnish the United States without cost all necessary 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 transferred 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, subject to the supervision and approval of all expenditures and obligations by the Secretary of War, to construct the highway bridges at Brandon Road and Marseilles Canal, to make the necessary alterations in other high- way bridges across the Illinois waterway, to make the necessary ar- rangements 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 available 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 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.). 1196 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 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 Canal 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 Harbor 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 improvements recommended in House Document No. 180, Seventy- third Congress, second session, and install operating machinery and place in operating condition the three drawbridges across the Chicago Sanitary 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 Engi- neers on January 30, 1935. Terminal facilities.--Of the 13 principal cities and towns along the Illinois River, about 5 own dock frontage, more or legs improved for boat landings; 4 own dock frontage with no improvements; and 4 own no frontage except at street ends. At Peoria, the largest city on 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 19 points between Grafton and Morris, and two grain con- veyors at Peru where grain can be loaded directly into barges. Pri- vate coal-loading terminals are located at Havana, Liverpool, and Cop- peras Creek. Coal-unloading terminals are located at the mouth of the Vermilion River, near La Salle, and at Ottawa; and a cement-loading plant is located at Peru. Bulk-petroleum terminals are located at Kingston Mines and at Peoria, and molasses is unloaded from barges at a terminal at Peoria. Sand and gravel plants are located at King- ston Lake, Chillicothe, and at Ottawa. A barge-construction yard and launching ways are located at Seneca. 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 petroleum products and stone from Lemont. Bulk-petroleum terminals are located at Forest View, Ill., and at California Avenue, Chicago; and a liquid industrial-chem- icals terminal is located at Laramie Avenue in Stickney, Ill. A private coal-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 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 sand- and gravel-distribution yards are located on the Calumet- Sag Channel. A crude-oil-unloading terminal is located on the Little Calumet River at Riverdale, just upstream from the junction with the RIVERS AND HARBORS---CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1197 Sag Channel. Plans for further terminals and docks between Grafton and Chicago are under way.

Location.-The mouth of the Sangamon River is 98.0 miles above the mouth and on the east bank of the Illinois River, 9.4 miles above the Beardstown highway bridge. This project extends for several miles upstream from the mouth of the river. This portion of the Sangamon River forms the boundary line between Mason County on the northwest and Cass County on the southwest. Existing project.-This project provides for straightening and en- larging the Sangamon River from its mouth to a point about 5.0 miles above the mouth measured along the straightened channel, by excavating a new channel with a bottom width of 80 feet and a depth of 5 to 19 feet. This lower portion of the river is now almost obliterated by snags and debris so that at high stages the river dis- charges into the Illinois River over a wide front through many dif- ferent channels. The increase in flood discharge capacity to be obtained by improving the present channel will provide additional flood protection for about 60 miles of Sangamon River bottom lands and about 30 miles of Salt Creek bottom lands embracing approxi- nrately 100,000 acres. The estimated cost, in 1936, is $136,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, and is described in House Document No. 186, Seventy- second Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preliminary surveys, explorations, designs, plans, and tests were carried on, by hired labor, at a cost of $2,514.39, all new work. The expenditures were $2,956.27. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionhas not been started. The total costs and expenditures to June 30, 1941, were $17,840.11, all new work.

NEAR SPRINGFIELD ON SANGAMON RIVER, ILL. Location.-Northwest of Springfield on the Sangamon River, 24.2 miles above the mouth. Existing project.-This project provides for improving the flood channel of the Sangamon River by replacing 425 feet of existing pile trestle with one 125-foot truss span on concrete piers and four 75-foot through-girder spans on creosoted pile bent foundation at an estimated cost, revised in 1939, of $110,000. The existing pile trestle soon fills with drift and debris when floods occur in the Sangamon River, caus- ing a serious reduction of floodway. Replacement of the trestle will allow the floodway to remain open at all times, and it is expected that flood stages above the bridge will be reduced 1 to 2 feet. The existing project was authorized by the Food Control Act approved June 22, 1936, and is described in House Document No. 186, Seventy- second Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. The expenditures were $75.86. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1940.

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 southeasterly 2,464.41 miles across or along seven States to the Missis- sippi River, 17 miles above St. Louis. For description, see page 1149, Annual 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. Existing project.-This provides for securing a permanent naviga- ble channel with a minimum low-water depth of 6 feet and a mini- mum width of 200 feet, with a reasonable additional width around the bends, by means of bank revetment, permeable dikes to contract and stabilize the waterway, removal of snags, and occasional dredg- ing. Length of section under improvement (mouth to upper-end of Quindaro Bend) is 386.2 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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July 25,1912 Project adopted for securing a permanent navi- H. Doc.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date 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, 1'The mileage for the Missouri River between the mouth and Three Forks, Mont., is measured along the 1932 channel line from the mouth to Rulo, Nebr.; along the 1939 proposed improved channel line from Rulo to Sioux City, Iowa; along the 1930 channel line from Sioux City to Fort Benton, Mont.; and along the 1890 channel line from Fort Benton to Three Forks. RIVERS AND HARBORS---KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1231 closing of minor channels, removal of snags, and dredging as re- quired, 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 is adopted by Congress, for an apportionment of expense where any improvement confers special benefit; and receipt of contributions from private parties, to be expended with Government funds upon authorized 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 States 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, 1941, was $665,662.80, of which $8,647.11 was returned to contributors. Terminal facilities.-Facilitiesfor transferring grain, petroleum products, and other commodities are maintained at various locations on this section of the river. These facilities are listed in the follow- ing table: Location 2 Description of facility Milabove mouth Nearest town (1932 mileage) Oil-loading facilities ------------------------------------------------- 384. 6 K a nsas City, Kans.

The total cost of maintenance was $1,506.241.04. The total cost for the fiscal year was $3,510,341.79, of which $2,004,- 100.75 was for new work and $1,506,241.04 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $3,905,927.38, all from regular funds. Condition at end of iscal year.-The existing project was about 95 percent completed at the end of the fiscal year. The physical extent of work accomplished was 1.728,054 linear feet of dikes, 967,648 linear feet of revetment, 29,499 linear feet of abatis, 3,509 linear feet of bank protection, 35,842 linear feet of retards, 16,561 linear feet of levees, 5 revetment spillways, excavation of 4,092,054 cubic yards of material in the construction of pilot canals, removal of 54,176 linear feet of existing structures, dredge fills totaling 1,453,332 cubic yards, removal of 432,664 cubic yards of rock, removal of $81,081,860 cubic yards of material by dredging, and removal of 1,900,933 cubic yards of ma- terial in the improvement of bank alinement. 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1233 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 ordi- nary stages of the river is 51/2 feet. This section of the river has been used for commercial navigation since June 1935. The total costs of the existing project to June 30, 1941, were as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular funds -- $68, 030, 580.82 $18, 515, 633. 84 $86, 546, 214. 66 Emergency Relief funds_ ------------- -------------- 1, 375, 243.49 133, 756. 51 1, 509, 000.00 Public W orks funds .-. ..................- . 6, 468, 490. 38 -_-_ _ _ 6, 468, 490. 38 Total_ ------------------------------------ 75, 874, 69 314. 649,390. 18, 35 523, 94, 705.04 The total expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1941, were $94,412,384.54 ($86,434,894.16 regular funds, $6,468,490.38 Public Works funds, and $1,509,000 Emergency Relief funds).

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. Eisting 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 1236 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 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.

Terminal facilities.--On the Lake of the Ozarks, formed by Bag- nell Dam, there are several marine ways and drydocks operated by 1 Osage River and Lake of the Ozarks mileage. RIVERS AND HARBORS--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1237 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 as required for passage of small craft; and ordinary maintenance and repair of dwellings, miscellaneous buildings, roads, and fences on the reserva- tion at a total cost of $3,755.30; and repair of lock gates, machinery, and bridge over Shipley Creek at a total cost of $12,226.04. There were 42 lockages required for 42 small craft, 3 towboats, and 3 barges which passed through the lock. The total cost was $15,981.34, and the expenditures were $15,853.51. 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 accommodations for the commerce actually using the channel. Upon the completion 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. 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 confluence with the main stem of the lake. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1941, was $1,242,- 904.27 from regular funds, of which $658,075.71 was for new work, $543,847.22 was for maintenance, and $40,981.34 was for operation and care of the lock and dam. The total expenditures were $1,242,794.51 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 per- manent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

KANSAS CITYS ON MISSOURI AND KANSAS RIVERS, MO. AND KANS. Location.--Kansas Citys on Missouri and Kansas Rivers in Mis- souri and Kansas. The municipal and industrial areas which require flood protection extend from the mouth of the Kansas River about 61/2 miles up and 91/2 miles down the Missouri River and 91/2 miles up the Kansas River. Existing project.-The general plan of improvement contemplates protection works, consisting principally of levees and flood walls, for 10 separate project units which are designated as follows: Argentine; Armourdale; Central Industrial; Fairfax-Jersey Creek; North Kan- sas City; East Bottoms; channel improvement, Kansas River; bridge and approach alterations, Kansas River; channel improvement, Mis- souri River; floodway improvement, Missouri River. Project plans have been completed for the Fairfax-Jersey Creek and channel improvement, Kansas River, units. These consist of the following features: Fairfax-Jersey, reek nit.-About 32,500 feet of earth levee, 2,000 feet of concrete flood walls. and 33,100 feet of bank-protection works, extending along the right bank of the Missouri River from a point immediately above the Kansas City, Kans., water and light plant (mile 385.31) downstream to the mouth of the Kansas River, thence along the left bank of the Kansas River to the vicinity of the Inter- city viaduct (mile 0.3 2) ; pumping plants; and appurtenant works. 1 Above mouth of Missouri River. SAbove mouth of Kansas River. RIVERS AND HARBORS-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1241 Channel improvement, Kansas River, unit.-Bank-stabilization works along the right bank of the Kansas River from the Seventh Street Bridge to the Kansas City Terminal railroad bridge (mile 3.50 to mile 2.49 2); excavation of a foreshore bar along the right bank of the Kansas River, extending from the Kansas City Southern railroad bridge (mile 0.84 2) to the mouth; and removal of major obstructions from the bed of the main channel of the Kansas River between the Argentine Bridge (mile 5.13 2) and the mouth. Detailed plans for the other project units have not been com- pleted. The general plan, however, contemplates substantially com- plete flood protection for the Kansas Citys with reservoir control of the Kansas River. The Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, authorized the existing project at an estimated construction cost not to exceed $10,000,000; estimated cost of lands and damages, $8,000,000. Recommended modification of project.-Under date of April 24, 1940, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the existing project be modified to authorize the construction of cut-offs at and in the vicinity of Liberty Bend, Missouri River, without increase in the authorized cost of the project (H. Doc. No. 722, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. The necessary assurances of local cooperation with respect to all units of the project in Kansas were approved by the Secretary of War on July 6, 1938, and the rights-of-way for the Fairfax-Jersey Creek and channel improvement, Kansas River, units have been furnished. Local in- terests at Kansas City, Kans., have contributed to the United States $48,500 to defray the extra costs of various features of construction in connection with the Fairfax-Jersey Creek unit, desired by local in- terests but not required for adequate flood protection. The assurances of cooperation by the city of Kansas City, Mo., in connection with con- struction of the Central Industrial and East Bottoms units within the State of Missouri were approved by the Secretary of War on March 22, 1941, and the assurances of local cooperation in connection with the construction of the North Kansas City unit were approved by the Secretary of War on June 17 and 20, 1941. Preliminary negotiations for the acquisition of rights-of-way to be furnished the United States in connection with the construction of the Central Industrial unit of the project are in progress by local interests. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The work under the project consisted of the following: Fairfax-JerseyCreek unit.-Engineering, design, and surveys were prosecuted by hired labor at a cost of $17,374.12. The levees, flood walls, flood sills, and incidental construction work under this unit were completed by contract in June 1941, at a cost of $1,910,878.34, and the levees were seeded by hired labor at a cost of $1,561.78. The construc- tion during the fiscal year included 32,514 linear feet of earth levees, 30,881.62 squares of revetment paving, a levee-drainage system, foun- dation and toe-protection mattress, 11 sewer outlets, 1,918 linear feet of flood walls, and 5 flood sills. The total cost during the fiscal year was $1,929,814.24. Channel improvement, Kamsas River, unit.-Projectplans, engineer- ing, design, and surveys were prosecuted by hired labor at a cost of $2,972.61. The work accomplished during the year on this unit con- sisted of stabilizing the right bank of the Kansas River, between mile "2Above mouth of Kansas River. 1242 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 3.50 and mile 2.49, above the mouth, and excavation of a foreshore bar near the mouth of the Kansas River, adjacent to the right bank, at a cost of $326,142.44. The work, which was completed by contract in May 1941, involved the excavation and disposition of 361,013 cubic yards of material for the removal of the foreshore bar; the removal of 14,255 cubic yards of objectionable material, and the placement of 34,047 cubic yards of earth fill, 25,426.16 tons of stone, and 4,149.05 squares of bank paving in the bank-stabilization work. The cost dur- ing the fiscal year was $329,115.05. Work in connection with the preparation of project plans for the Central Industrial and Armourdale units, and for the raising of the James Street bridge, which constitutes a part of the unit for the altera- tion of bridges and approaches on the Kansas River, was prosecuted by hired labor during the fiscal year at a cost of $11,562.95. The total cost during the fiscal year, all for new work, was $2,226,- 095.98 (exclusive of $44,396.26 contributed funds). The total expendi- tures were $2,268,933.95 (exclusive of $23,282.07 of contributed funds). Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 25 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. Except for the pump- ing plants in the Fairfax-Jersey Creek unit and removal of obstruc- tions in the channel improvement, Kansas River, unit, these units were practically complete at the end of the fiscal year. Completed work included the construction of 32,514 linear feet of earth levees, a levee- drainage system, approximately 13,974 squares of foundation and toe- protection mattress, 30,881 squares of revetment paving, 965 linear feet of steel sheet-pile wall, 11 sewer outlets, 1,918 linear feet of flood walls, and 5 flood sills in connection with the Fairfax-Jersey Creek unit; the excavation and disposition of 361,013 cubic yards of material in con- nection with the removal of the foreshore bar, removal of 14,255 cubic yards of objectionable material, and placement of 34,047 cubic yards of earth fill and 4,149 squares of bank paving in connection with bank stabilization under the channel improvement, Kansas River, unit. The total cost (exclusive of $48,500 contributed funds) of the exist- ing project (all new work) at the end of the fiscal year was $2,529,- 497.06 and the total expenditures were $2,440,226.30 (exclusive of $23,282.07 contributed funds). Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $1,346,873.70 of regular funds and $25,217.93 of contributed funds, together with ac- counts receivable ($146.33) at the end of fiscal year, will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1942, as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1941---------------------------------$114, 059. 36 New work (July 1, 1941, to June 30, 1942) : Fairfax-Jersey Creek unit: Proposed contract: Pumping plants --- ------- 235, 000. 00 By hired labor: Engineering and design_---------- 11, 397. 19 Channel improvement, Kansas River unit: By hired labor: Engineering and design----------------- 3, 323. 71 Armourdale unit: By hired labor: Project plan___--------------------------- 45, 549. 33 Central Industrial unit: Proposed contract: Raising existing levees and construct- ing new levees and flood walls------------------ ------ 873, 920. 65 By hired labor: Project plan 13, 428. 55 __---------------------------------__ Engineering and design_ __--_-------------------- 45, 000. 00 RIVERS AND HARBORS-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1243 New work-Continued.

TOPEKA, KANSAS RIVER, KANS. Location.-This project is located on the right and left banks of the Kansas River at Topeka, Kans. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the rais- ing and extending of existing levees and the construction of new levees and flood walls, consisting of the following features: 7,200 feet of earth levee, 2,016 feet of concrete flood wall, and 6,350 feet of bank-protection works, along the right bank of the Kansas River, extending from the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad bridge over Ward Creek to high ground upstream from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad bridge; 1,662 feet of flood wall and 943 feet of levee around the municipal waterworks; about 5,120 feet of bank- protection works along the left bank of the Kansas River; 23,175 1246 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 feet of levee and 700 feet of flood walls around North Topeka; and numerous appurtenant features. The project when completed will provide protection to North Topeka, South Topeka (between Ward Creek and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad shops), and the municipal waterworks, against a flood equivalent to that of 1903. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 22, 1936 (H. Doc. No. 195, 73d Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost of construction, revised in 1940, is $1,056,000, and the estimated cost of lands and damages, $93,600. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. The conditions of local cooperation have been fully complied with except for the North Topeka unit. The city of Topeka has contributed to the United States a net sum of $7,659.31 to defray the cost of incidental features of construction at the city waterworks, desired by the city but not required for adequate flood protection. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationswere limited to work in connection with the preparation of detailed plans and speci- fications for the North Topeka unit of the project. No construction was performed. The cost during the fiscal year, all for new work, with regular funds, was $1,343.42. The expenditures during the fiscal year were $1,505.42 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was approxi- mately 69 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The work accomplished consists of the removal of objectionable material and placing of 174,569 cubic yards of earth fill in an earth levee; construc- tion of 2,016 linear feet of concrete flood wall, 6,421.4 linear feet of bank paving, 2,600 linear feet of waterworks protection, three protec- tion enclosures at the waterworks, one floodgate, nine sewer-outlet ex- tensions, and appurtenant features; and seeding of levees. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of the construction of the North Topeka unit. Commence- ment of this work was postponed indefinitely in February 1940 after a suit was brought against the city of Topeka and others to enjoin construction of the North Topeka flood-protection works. The total cost (exclusive of $7,659.31 of contributed funds) of the existing project (all new work) at the end of the fiscal year was $729,961.20 ($463,961.20 from regular funds and $2686,000 from Emer- gency Relief funds). The total expenditures (exclusive of $7,659.31 of contributed funds) under the existing project at the end of the fiscal year were $738,090.43, of which $472,090.43 was from regular funds and $266,000 from Emer- gency Relief funds. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance ($1,909.57) of regu- lar funds at the end of the fiscal year will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1942, to the liquidation of accounts payable ($43.17) and such costs as may be necessary in connection with the completion of detailed plans for the North Topeka unit prior to re- sumption of actual construction operations. After the pending litigation (see paragraph "Condition at end of fiscal year") has been settled, the additional sum of $316,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 in the completion of the project, as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORSr--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1247 New work: North Topeka flood protection: By contract: Flood walls ------------------------------------ $61, 100. 00 Levees ---------------------------------------- 95, 179.05 Bank protection -------------------------------- 80,257.80 Floodgates ------------------------------------ 47,500.00 Drainage structures----------------------------28, 600.00 By hired labor: Seeding of levees-------------------------------- 1, 500. 00 Engineering and design__ - ------------- 1, 863. 15 Total for all work ---------------------------- 316,000. 00 Cost and financial summary REGULAR FUNDS Cost of new work to June 30, 1941 ----------------------- $737, 620. 51 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1941-------- - - Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1941------------- 729, 961. 20 Undistributed costs June 30, 1941------------------------------ 8,172.40 Net total cost to June 30, 1941--------------------------738, 133. 60 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1941-------------- -------------- 43.17 Net total expenditures ------------------------------ 738, 090. 43 Unexpended balance June 30, 1941 --------------- 1, 909. 57 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1941-------------- 740, 000. 00 Fiscal year ending June 30 1937 1938 1939 1940 1941 Cost of new work ...------------- --- .- -..--- $150, 972. 72 $568,264.46 $9, 380. 60 $1,343.42 Cost of maintenance . ------------- - ---------------- ------------ ------ -------- --- Total expended.---------- -------------- 117, 086. 00 694, 037. 65 25. 461.36 1, 505.42 Allotted .---............---------------......------------ 1,006,000.00 --- -100,000.00 -166,000.00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1940---------------------------- $169,414.99 Deductions on account of revocation of allotment---------------- 166,000. 00 Net amount to be accounted for------------------------- 3,414. 99 Gross amount expended--------------------------- $1, 505. 73 Less reimbursements collected------------------------- .31 1, 505.42 Balance unexpended June 30, 1941- -,-------------- 1 909. 57 Outstanding liabilities June 30, 1941---------------- 43. 17 Balance available June 30, 1941- --------------- 1,866.40 Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for completion of existing project 2------------------------------------- 316, 000. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1943, for new work - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 316, 000. 00 1 Includes $266,000 emergency relief funds. 2 Exclusive of available funds. 1248 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1249 9. KANOPOLIS RESERVOIR, MISSOURI RIVER BASIN, KANS. Location.-The Kanopolis dam site is located on the Smoky Hill River about 19 miles west and 16 miles south of Salina, Kans., and is approximately 205 river miles above the mouth of the stream. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of an earth fill dam, with a height of about 125 feet above the stream bed and a total length of 15,400 feet, including 4,300 feet of dike section on the left abutment and 2,600 feet of dike section on the right abutment; with a reservoir providing for storage capacity of 450,000 acre-feet, of which 400,000 acre-feet of capacity is for flood control and 50,000 acre-feet for recreation and stream-flow regulation. The outlet works and spillway are to be located in the right abutment. The reservoir will control approximately 95 percent of the drainage area of the Smoky Hill River above Salina, Kans. It is contemplated that the Kanopolis Reservoir will be operated in combination with proposed reservoirs to be located on other major tributaries of the Kansas River. The primary purpose of the project is flood control for municipal and agricultural areas along the Smoky Hill and Kansas Rivers, with incidental benefits in reducing Missouri and Mississippi River flood stages. The existing project was selected for construction as a unit in the general comprehensive plan for flood control and other purposes in the Missouri River Basin authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 28, 1938 (Public, No. 761, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). The estimate of cost, revised in 1940, is $8,977,000, of which $7,654,300 is for construction and $1,322,700 for lands and damages. Local cooperation..-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Surveys, explorations, and studies in connection with the preparation of construction plans and specifications were prosecuted at a total cost of $42,134.80. Sur- veys, appraisals, negotiations, and preparation of maps and plats were continued in connection with the acquisition of lands required for the project, and 4,872.29 acres of land were acquired at a cost of $328,877.30. Operations also included construction by hired labor of temporary movable buildings and an addition to the temporary Gov- ernment field office at a cost of $1,367.40; completion of the construc- tion by contract of the field office, garage, oil-storage building, access road and tunnel (2,400 linear feet) and partial completion of the service bridge and outlet and inlet structures at a cost during the fiscal year of $726,842.85; partial construction of embankment and excavation of spillway by continuing contract at a cost of $971,283.83. The work performed by contract involved the excavation of 4,200 cubic yards of material for construction of the access road and 195,- 800 cubic yards of material for construction of the diversion works; placement of 12,898 cubic yards of backfill and embankment, 1,660,448 pounds of reinforcement steel, 1,239,693 pounds of steel bracing, and 16,754 cubic yards of concrete, for the construction of the tunnel; clearing and stripping for the base of the dam; excavation of 3,322,- 200 cubic yards of material in connection with the excavation of the spillway and the construction of the embankment, and the placement of 631,700 cubic yards of pervious fill, 272,300 cubic yards of random fill, 593,300 cubic yards of impervious fill, 602,100 cubic yards of 1250 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

MISSOURI RIVER, KANSAS CITY TO SIOUX CITY Location.-The Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri River, which flows south- easterly 2,464.4 miles across or along seven States to the Mississippi 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. 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 (mini- mum low-water depth of 6 feet and minimum width of 200 feet, with a reasonable additional width around the bends) and methods of im- provement 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 snags, and occasional dredging. Length of section under improvement (upper end of Quindaro Bend to Sioux City) is 375.3 miles. 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: 425144-41-pt. i, vol. 2- 11 1256 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Acts Work authorized Documents ' Jan. 21,1927 Appropriation of $12,000,000 authorized for the H. Doc. No. 1120, 60th Cong., 2d sess. existing project. July 3,1930 Appropriation of $15,000,000 additional authorized; additional allotments totaling $29,153,108 were made by the Public Works Administration under the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act of June 16, 1933, and $9,669,791.92 allotted under the provisions of the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of Apr. 8, 1935. Aug. 30, 1935 For completion of the project from the mouth to H. Doc. No. 238, 73d Cong., 2d sess. Sioux City, Iowa. 1Contain latest published maps of'Missouri River. Recomomended modifications of project.-Under date 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 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 mainte- nance of $4,500,000 (H. Doe. 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 private interests. The facilities for loading grain onto barges are not connected with the elevator but can be readily connected and put into operation when required. At Brownville, Nebr., plans are under preparation and site pur- chased by Hart-Bartlett-Sturtevant Grain Co., Kansas City, Mo., for a grain elevator. The terminal will have highway and railway connections. At Nebraska City, Nebr., at approximate mile 579.6, the Nebraska City Dock Board has completed a 50,000-cubic-yard-fill for river- front improvement protected by stone riprap. Plans call for con- struction of a concrete-floored dock (200 by 60 feet) and corrugated- iron warehouse. The Western Elevator Co. of Kansas City, Mo., has under construction a million-bushel grain elevator. The terminal facilities will be served by two railroads and paved highways and will be open for general public use. 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 facilites are to be provided. At Omaha, Nebr., definite plans have been made for an all-purpose terminal at an estimated cost of $1,000,000 at approximate mile 632.3. Terminal facilities will include a steel-piling sea wall, dock house, crane house, platforms and a 300,000-bushel grain elevator and head house. The facilities will be served by 14 railroads and paved high- ways and will be open for general public use. RIVERS AND HARBORS---OMAHA, NEBR., DISfTRICT 1257 The Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. has completed a temporary terminal, at approximate mile 640.6 with facilities for handling and storing petroleum products. At Blencoe, Iowa, a privately owned dock is being promoted by the Blencoe Farmers Elevator Co. It is planned to handle, chiefly, grain, lumber, and oil, and will be for use by cooperatives of western Iowa. At Sioux City, Iowa, tentative plans have been made to establish a dock area by means of a sheet-steel piling sea wall and a dredged fill at approximate mile 759.0. It is planned to construct a sheet-steel warehouse and appropriate platforms. The facilities will be served by both railway and highway. The Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. has constructed temporary unloading facilities for handling and storing petroleum products at approximate mile 755.9. Promotion of terminals has been indicated at the following towns: Blair, Tekamah, and Decatur, Nebr.; Onawa, Whiting, and Cali- fornia Junction, Iowa. The facilities are considered adequate for existing needs.

Dredging (regular funds) during the year by the U. S. dredges General Chittenden, Robert McGregor, and 1 leased dredge resulted in the removal of 9,724,541 cubic yards of material from 45 localities 1258 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 at a cost of $476,857.66 charged to new work; 474,124 cubic yards of material from 3 localities by the U. S. dredge Robert McGreqor at a cost of $10,051.53 charged to maintenance; removal of 509,671 cubic yards of material from 3 localities and the placement of 142,000 cubic yards of dredged fill for accretions by U. S. dredge Black at a cost of $64,405.93 charged to maintenance. Surveys, appraisals, acquisi- tion proceedings, and related work in connection with the acquisition of right-of-way for channel changes and prosecution of unallocated surveys for engineering and channel-rectification studies amounted to $101,614.22; stream gaging amounted to $2,798.54; and bank clear- ing amounted to $22,079.10, all charged to new work. The cost of surveys in connection with maintenance work was $29,637.19, stream gaging for special studies and working data at a cost of $1,335.85, snagging at a cost of $21,442.17, marking channel for navigation at a cost of $2,014.38, and navigation aids at a cost of $6,007.71, all charged to maintenance.

(upper end of Quindaro Bend) and Rulo, Nebr., is approximately 93 percent completed; between Rulo and Omaha, Nebr., it is approximately 95 percent completed; and between Omaha, Nebr., and Sioux City, Iowa, it is approxi- mately 69 percent completed. The entire project was approximately 85 percent completed at the end of the fiscal year. Kansas City, Mo., to Rulo, Nebr.-The majority of 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 during the navigation season, a channel with a minimum depth of 6 feet and a 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 9 feet. The practical draft at ordinary stages of the river is 51/2 feet. This section of the river has been used for commercial navigation since May 1939. The work remain- ing to be done to complete this section of the river under the existing project consists chiefly of the construction of additional dikes and revetment. Rulo to Omaha, Nebr.-Continued improvement is noted in this section, which has been used for commercial navigation since May 1939. It is practically completed except for construction of several isolated dikes and revetment and the completion of the Civil Bend Pilot Canal now under construction. With continued releases from RIVERS AND HARBORS-OMAHA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1259 the Fort Peck Dam and completion of construction work now under way, it is expected that reliable conditions for continuous commercial navigation should be assured by June 30, 1942. Omaha, Nebr., to Sioux City, Iowa.-A marked improvement of the channel has resulted from construction operations during the past fiscal year. Channel conditions within this section should be further advanced by control of five or six troublesome bends where major corrective action is now in progress. Commercial navigation over this section was inaugurated by a large oil company during June 1940. The first upriver trip of a commercial barge line was com- pleted on May 29, 1941, when a tow consisting of one barge, loaded with approximately nine carloads of general merchandise, unloaded at Sioux City, and took aboard a cargo of grain for southern ter- minals. It is expected reliable conditions for continuous commercial navigation should be assured by June 1943, provided sufficient addi- tional funds are made available for orderly prosecution of the remaining work. 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 772,469 linear feet of revetment for permanently fixing the banks, 1,896,043 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 four impermeable structures to close off auxiliary chan- nels, construction of 40, 346 linear feet of asphalt revetment, effecting three channel cut-offs, and removal of 59,990.268 cubic yards of ma- terial dredged from the channel to obtain project depth and width.

Through this section the river flows across the States of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, form- ing 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.) RIVERS AND HARBORS-OMAHA, NEBR., DISITRICT 1267 Existing project.-This provides for the expenditure of from $75,000 to $150,000 yearly during the first 5 years of the project in the removal of snags and rocks from the channel and in bank protec- tion at various locations between Sioux City, Iowa, and Fort Benton, Mont. Since the expiration of the 5-year limit, funds have been expended for snagging and maintenance of structures. The length of section included in the project is 1,441.4 miles and consists of two parts: Sioux City, Iowa, to Fork Peck Dam, Mont. (mile 1868.7), and Fort Peck Dam to Fort Benton, Mont. At Sioux City the ordinary fluctuation is about 10.4 feet, and the extreme fluctuation (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 pub- lished map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-Works for the benefit of the public constructed by private interests were: Bismarck, N. Dak: The Northern Pacific Railway Co., in coopera- tion with Morton County, N. Dak., completed 2,000 linear feet of revetment along the right bank, 6 miles downstream from Bismarck. The work was financed by W. P. A. funds at a cost of $31,000. Mobridge, S. Dak.: The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad Co. completed 31 units of Kellner jetty retards along the right bank, from mile 1,316.46 to mile 1,316.63 (1890 mileage). The cost of the work was $7,425. Pierre, S. Dak.: The city is constructing a bulkhead and fill along the left bank, at mile 1,174.0 (1890 mileage). The work is 60 percent completed. A series of clump dikes are under construction along the left bank, from mile 1,171.5 to mile 1,174.1 (1890 mileage) and are 60 percent colmpleted. Cost data is not available. Chamberlain, S. Dak.: The Department of the Interior is construct- ing revetment on the right bank, near Chamberlain. Eleven thousand and eighty-five feet of revetment have been completed, and 950 linear feet is yet to be completed. Cost data is not available, inasmuch as C. C. C. labor was utilized. Terminal facilities.-The facilities are considered adequate for exist- ing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Work accomplished dur- ing the year amounted to $5,834.60, charged to maintenance. Ex- penditures during the fiscal year were $6,155.35. Condition at end of fiscal year.-As cutting of the bank 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 urgent 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 Government expenditures to meritorious cooperative projects and a small amount of repair to existing works. From April to October, inclusive, drafts of 30 inches are practicable to Pierre, 26 inches to the Montana State line, and 22 inches to the Fort Peck Dam. Depths which will accommodate large boats are 1268 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 available on the Fort Peck Reservoir and drafts of 22 inches are prac- ticable from the reservoir to Fort Benton. The cost of new work under the existing project to June 30, 1941, was $516,484.77 and the cost of maintenance was $416,291.41, a total ,of $932,776.18. The expenditures were $933,096.93. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance, $8,844.65, at the end of the fiscal year will be applied to snagging and maintenance operations where required. The additional sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943, for maintenance and snagging operations.

Existing project.-The Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941, approved the comprehensive plan for flood protection in the vicinity of Sioux City, Iowa, and along both banks of the Missouri River between Sioux City and Kansas City for flood control, in ac- cordance with the recommendation of the Chief of Engineers in House Document No. 821, Seventy-sixth Congress, third session, and author- ized $1,000,000 for the initiation and partial accomplishment of the project. The plan of improvement provides for the construction of dikes, re- vetments, and channel improvement along the Missouri River between Kenslers Bend, Nebr., and the Combination Bridge at Sioux City, Iowa, at an estimated cost of construction of $875,000, with annual maintenance of $30,000; and for the construction of levees and ap- purtenant flood-control works for the protection of agricultural lands and small communities on both banks of the Missouri River between Sioux City, Iowa, and Kansas City, Mo., against floods of the approxi- mate magnitude of the flood of July 1938, at an estimated cost of $5,050,000 for construction and of $160,000 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work has not been started. Proposed operations.-No funds have been allotted to date and no work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1942.

SNAGGING AND CLEARING UNDER AUTHORITY OF SECTION 2 OF THE FLOOD CONTROL ACT APPROVED AUGUST 28, 1937 The Flood Control Act approved August 28, 1937, as amended by the Flood Control Acts approved August 11, 1939, and August 18, 1941, authorized the allotment of not to exceed $500,000 from the flood-control appropriations for any one fiscal year for the removal of accumulated snags and other debris from, and the clearing and straightening of channels in navigable streams and tributaries thereof when such work is advisable in the interest of flood control; provided that not more than $25,000 shall be allotted for this purpose for any single tributary from the appropriations for any one fiscal year. The sum of $1,000 was allotted on June 25, 1940, for the removal of snags and other debris from the channels of Camp Creek, a tribu- tary of the Missouri River, having its confluence with the Missouri River at approximately 6 miles above the village of Peru, in Nemaha County, Nebr. The work consisted of the removal of a series of rack heaps, logs, brush, and accumulated obstruction to flow in the channels of Camp Creek, over a distance of approximately one-half mile beginning at a point 11/2 miles above the confluence of Camp Creek with the Missouri River. The removal of the debris, which was from 3 to 5 feet in depth over the section involved, was accomplished by means of burning the debris where effective and removing the remainder by tractor. The work, performed between September 23 and October 9, 1940, by Government plant and hired labor, has been completed. Costs and expenditures during the year were $1,000 charged to new work.

Open-channel work, Ohio River-------------------------------- 1301 NOTE.rFlood-control projects in the Ohio River Basin are contained in the re- ports of the districts included in the Ohio River Division. 1294 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 1. CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS ON THE OHIO RIVER Location.-The Ohio River is formed by the junction of the Alleg- heny and Monongahela Rivers at Pittsburgh, Pa., and flows in a gen- eral southwesterly direction for a distance of 981 miles to join the Mississippi River near Cairo, Ill. For a description of the river see page 1227, Annual Report for 1932. Previous 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 project.-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 a lock with usable dimensions of 110 by 600 feet at each dam and in addition an auxiliary lock 56 by 360 feet at Emsworth, Dashields, Montgomery Island, and dam 41, and 110 by 360 feet at Gallipolis. Dashields is a fixed dam while Emsworth, Monitgomery Island, and Gallipolis are fixed dams with movable crests. The remainder of the 46 dams are of the mov- able type, with navigable pass varying in width from 600 to 1,248 feet. In addition to the navigable pass, the movable type dams are also provided with one or more regulating weirs. At dam No. 41 a canal (Louisville and Portland) extends along the left bank for a distance of 2 miles, with the 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- 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, H. Doc. No. 492, 60th Cong., 1st sess. widening of the Louisville and Portland Canal to 170 feet, and a new 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 H. Doc. No. 1695, 64th Cong., 2d sess. where the project depth of 9 feet could be satis- factorily maintained by open channel work. Secretary of War authorized to substitute fixed dams for movable dams wherever, in his opinion, they may be desirable. RIVERS AND HAiRBORSS-0HIO0 RIVER LOCKS AND DAM 1295 Under the authority granted in the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910, the Louisville and Portland Canal has been widened to 200 feet; locks and dams Nos. 40 and 42 have been eliminated; locks and dams Nos. 1 and 2 replaced by the Emsworth locks and dam; lock and dam No. 3 replaced by the Dashields locks and dam; and locks and dams Nos. 4, 5, and 6 replaced by the Montgomery Island locks and dam. Locks and dams Nos. 24, 25, and 26 were replaced by Gallipolis locks and dam which was authorized by the act of August 30, 1935, and constructed under the project for improving lower Kanawha River.

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 page 1293. The portion of the river included in the project extends from the head of the river at Pittsburgh, Pa., to the mouth of the Cache River (Mount City, Ill.), a distance of 974.7 miles. Open channel improvement from the mouth of the Cache River to the mouth of the Ohio River is under the jurisdiction of the Mississippi River Com- mission. Existing project.-Prior to the completion of the canalization project, no project depth had been fixed by Congress under the project for open-channel work, but in order to properly aid packet and barge navigation it was found necessary to secure a low-water channel hav- ing a minimum depth of from 4 to 6 feet, and a width, depending upon the difficulty of running the channel, of from 400 to 600 feet; also, to permit the movement of large coal tows, which movement occurred at stages of water exceeding 10 feet, it was found necessary to remove the points of projecting bars which formed at various locations along the river. The accomplishment of this purpose in- volved the concentration of current by closing back channels at is- lands with low dams, the contraction and straightening of wide, open channels by low dikes, the dredging of bars and shoals, and the removal of snags and wrecks. Since the completion of the canalization project, the work under the project for open-channel work provides mainly for widening, deepening, and maintenance of the channel in the pools of the dams, and in the open river section of the river below lock and dam No. 53 so as to provide and maintain the full project depth of 9 feet con- templated by the canalization project. In order to properly facili- tate the movement of the present-day barge tows, it has been found necessary to provide channel widths, varying according to the diffi- culty of running the channel, of from 500 to 750 feet. The accom- plishment of this work not only involves dredging of bars and shoals, but the construction and maintenance of revetments for stabilizing the channel, and the removal of snags and wrecks. 1302 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Incidental to the direct improvement of the Ohio River is the con- struction and maintenance of ice piers and back channel dams, and of dikes in the open river section below lock and dam No. 53. The stage of extreme high water on the Ohio River varies from 46.0 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., to 80.0 feet at Cincinnati, Ohio, with 57.2 feet at Louisville, Ky. (head of falls), 53.8 feet at Evansville, Ind., and 59.5 feet at Cairo, Ill. (mouth of 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. There is no approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance of the project. The estimate of annual cost of operating snag boats below the Penn- sylvania 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 steamboat navigation. Jan. 21, 1927 Construction of ice piers, as a part of the project, H. Doe.

Operation of snag boats on the Ohio River below the Pennsylvania State line was included in the project July 1, 1935, under the pro- visions 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 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. (H. Doc. No. 187, 67th Cong., 2d sess.) Existing ice piers are adequate for present purposes and local cooper- ation is not needed since no additional construction is under consid- eration. 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 pro- tection, provides that no expense shall be incurred by the United States for acquiring of any lands required for the purpose of this improvement. (H. Doc. No. 409, 69th Cong., 1st sess.) However, since no serious overbank erosion has occurred since the bank revet- ment in 1933-34, reforestation is not considered justifiable and no local cooperation is required.

The total expenditures, all from regular funds, were $1,655,933.22. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The work under this project is nearing completion. Such work as remains to be done consists of dredging to widen the channel at various points to the project depth and for placing of revetment at various points to stabilize the channel and protect the banks against erosion. 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 con- ditions. In general, this channel was maintained. Local stabiliza- tion of channel has been effected at various points by construction of dikes and bank revetment. The total cost of existing project to the end of the fiscal year for new work was $13,175,217.17, of which $12,134,981.18 was from regu- lar funds and $1,040,235.99 from Public Works funds. In addition the cost of maintenance from regular funds was $19,173,604.62 (in- cluding $1,000 for removal of obstructions in Licking RiVer under authority of section 3 of the River and Harbor Act approved July RIVERS AND HARBORS-OHIO RIVER LOCKS AND DAMS 1307 3, 1930), making a total cost of $32,348,821.79. The total expendi- tures under the existing project were $32,317,830.80, of which $31,- 277,594.81 was from regular funds and $1,040,235.99 from Publio 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 Poor and Clover Forks in Harlan County, Ky., about 692.8 miles above its mouth, and flows west to Burnside, Ky., from whence it makes a loop southwest- ward into Tennessee, passes Nashville, and returns northwestward to Kentucky, emptying into the Ohio near Smithland, Ky. See United States Geological Survey base maps of Tennessee and Kentucky. Previousprojects-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, 1881. For further details see page 1898 of Annual Report of 1915, and page 1208 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project--Below Nashlille.--This provides for the construc- tion of locks and dams A, B, C, D, E, and F and dredging in the 43.6 miles from lock F to the mouth to secure 6-foot navigation at extreme low water from the mouth to lock and dam No. 1, Nashville, Tenn. (188.4 miles above the mouth), 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. The following table shows the principal features of the locks and dams included in the project: 1310 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The extreme fluctuation in the stage of the river varies from about 31 to 56 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.

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. 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. The existing project for the section above Nashville was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1313 Acts Work authorized Documents and reports Aug. 5,1886 Provision made for locks and dams; the Secretary of War to Annual report 1884, p. 1663. determine the final plan of improvement.

Local cooperation.-Below Nashville: None. Above Nashville: Fully complied with. Terminal 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 Clarks- ville, Tenn., there is a privately owned warehouse with inclined tram- way. At Fox Bluff, Tenn., there is a terminal which belongs 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, Ash- land 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, Pinckneyville, and Dycus- burg, 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 fiscal year-(a) Below Nashville.- Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of dredging 4,044 cubic yards of sand and gravel, removing 899 snags and 2,959 cubic yards of mud from sliding banks, making shoal surveys where.required, and maintaining navigation aids in coopera- tion -with the United States Coast Guard. The cost of maintenance was $26,932.57. (b) Above Nashville.-Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of dredging 27.232 cubic yards of sand and gravel, removing 120 snags and 963 cubic yards of mud from sliding banks, making shoal surveys where required, and maintaining navi- gation aids in cooperation with the United States Coast Guard. The cost of maintenance was $26,342.28. 1314 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 (c) Operating and care of locks and dams.-The 15 locks were operated and the lock structures and appurtenances were cared for. Lock A was unwatered and major repairs were made to lock gates, miter sills, and miter, and quoin posts. The upstream end of lock No. 1 was unwatered and repairs were made to upper gates, valves, and sills. At lock D, 2,300 cubic yards of stone were quarried and placed as reinforcement along abutment. Two garages were built at lock D, one of which was a combination storehouse and garage. Topographic surveys were made of the Government reservations at locks A, B, C, D, E, F, and No. 1. Flagpoles were constructed at locks A, B, C, and Nos. 1 to 8, inclusive. Installation of safety skiff and steps, begun last fiscal year, was completed at locks A and F. Floodlights were installed at locks Nos. 5, 6, and 7. Concrete blocks were cast for use in raising crest of dam No. 6. The following work also was done by contract: Wiring dwellings at locks B and C and Nos. 3 to 8, inclusive; reroofing dwellings at locks C and D. Minor improvements were made at various locks. The cost of operating and care was $265,987.23. The total costs during the year were $319,262.08, of which $53,274.85 was for maintenance and $265,987.23 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $321,906.32. Condition at end of fiscal year-(a) Below Nashville.-All locks and dams under the existing project have been completed, affording full project depth between the mouth and Nashville throughout the entire year. Total cost of this section was $5,134,394.95, including $685,000 from Public Works funds. Of this amount $5,035,801.52 was for new work and $98,593.43 for maintenance. (b) Above Nashville.-Under the existing project, locks and dams Nos. 1 to 8, inclusive, and No. 21 have been completed. The project as a whole was about 40 percent completed. There remains to com- plete the project the construction of locks and dams 9 to 17, inclusive. 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 Nashville (lock and dam No. 1, 188.4 miles above the mouth) to Niagara Shoals (a distance of 143 miles); 6 feet deep from lock No. 21 to Waitsboro Shoals (25.7 miles) ; and 4 feet deep from Waitsboro Shoals to Burnside, Ky. (3 miles). The ex- penditures for maintenance have kept the channel above Nashville fairly free from snags and surface obstructions. The depth at ex- treme low water over the shoalest part of the reach between the head of pool, lock and dam No. 8, and lock No. 21 (50.8 miles in Tennessee and 101.8 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 addi- tional foot of reading on this gage the navigable depth is increased 0.8 foot. Total cost of this section was $3,945,110.96, of which $3,760,599.12 w:as for new work and $184,511.84 for maintenance. RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHIVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1315 (c) Operation and care of locks and dams.-All locks and dams were operated as required. The cost of operating and care since June 30, 1935, with funds from the appropriation "Maintenance and improvements of existing river and harbor works," was $1,579,611.16. The total cost under the existing project for the entire stream was $10,659,117.07 of which $8,796,400.64 was for new work, includ- ing $685,000 Public Works funds, and $1,862,716.43 for maintenance. including $1,579,611.16 for operating and care. The total expendi- tures were $10,658,880.67. 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 improve- ment under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation.

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 Ala- RIVEIRS AND HARBORS--RASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1317 bama, 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 Geological Survey base map of the Tennessee River Basin.) Previous projects- (a) Above Chattanooga.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852, June 10, 1872, August 18, 1894, and July 25, 1912. (b) Chattanooga to Riverton.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852, July 25, 1868, March 3, 1871, September 19, 1890; acts of April 26, 1901, and January 7, 1905; and River and Har- bor Acts of March 2, 1907, June 25, 1910, July 25, 1912, July 27, 1916, and March 3, 1925. (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 con- struction 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 1319 The functions of the Engineer Department since adoption of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 have been those of coopera- tion with the Authority through preparing (with the Engineer De- partment forces and funds) the designs of locks at Pickwick, Gunters- ville, Chickamauga, Watts Bar, and Fort Loudoun Dams; and, in accordance with the general navigation laws placing control and supervision over navigable waters in the Secretary of War, the Engi- neer Department: Operates and maintains all locks, lifts, or other facilities in aid of navigation; maintains navigation channels by per- forming 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; estab- lishes harbor lines where essential to the preservation and protection of harbors; provides for removal of unlawful structures, including wrecks; cooperates and reviews 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 dump- ing of dredgings or other material into navigable waters; promulgates rules and regulations governing the use, administration, and naviga- tion of navigable waters, including harbors thereof; compiles statis- tics of water-borne commerce. Local cooperatio.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, requires no local cooperation in the construction of the alternate sys- tem 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 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. Terminal facilities.-River terminals with railroad connections, municipally owned, have been constructed at Sheffield, Ala., and Chat- tanooga, Tenn., but the other public terminals are mostly unimproved 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 inclines and sid- ings are available at Sheffield, Decatur, Hobbs Island, Guntersville, and Bridgeport, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn. Privately owned ter- minals for the transfer of petroleum products have been constructed at Perryville and Chattanooga, Tenn., and Sheffield, Decatur, and Guntersville, Ala. Privately owned terminals for the transfer of grain have been constructed at Decatur and Guntersville, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn. In addition to the foregoing these, are many unimproved private landings along the river. The facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-A contract was entered into for the fabrication and erection of a 25,000-gallon pure water storage tank at General Joe Wheeler lock (lock No. 3). This contract was 98 percent completed at the end of the year. A contract was also entered into for the construction of two lock- tenders' dwellings, a double garage and sewer, water, and under- ground electric systems at lock No. 3. This contract was approxi- 425144-41--pt. 1,vol. 2-15 1320 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 mately 50 percent completed at the end of the year. The work of installing water line in the inspection tunnel and installing electric conduits from the lock tunnel to reservation at this location is being performed by hired labor. The entire work of constructing dwellings and appurtenances and installing utilities at this lock was approxi- mately 51 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The cost of new work was $33,481. Maintenance.-Dredgingof boulders, rock, sand, and gravel at Col- well Bar (mile 468) which was commenced during the previous fiscal year, was completed. A total of 22,695 cubic yards of material was dredged at this location, 15,500 cubic yards of which was dredged during this year. At Chattanooga, Tenn., 712 cubic yards of silt were dredged along the water front. Miscellaneous obstructions were removed from channel in the Wheeler pool and in the section below Pickwick Dam. Shoals surveys were made where required, and navi- gation aids were maintained in cooperation with the United States Coast Guard. The total cost of maintenance during the year was $118,843.31. Operating and care.-All locks were operated and lock structures and appurtenances were maintained. Valves were repaired and seals realined at Chickamauga and Guntersville locks. A boat-launching device was installed at Chickamauga lock. Floodlights were in- stalled at Hales Bar Lock. Valves and valve bulkheads were sand blasted and painted at lock No. 3. At lock No. 2 service and guard gates were sand blasted and painted, 9,215 cubic yards of deposit were removed from upper approach and 190 cubic yards from lock chambers, mooring hooks were installed on north lock wall. At lock No. 1 steel barge No. 10.5 was converted for use as a ferry barge to replace old wooden barge and the lock was rewired. Minor improve- ments were made at various locks. The total cost of operating and care during the year was $222,175.09. The total costs during the year was $374,499.40, of which $33,481 was for new work, $118,843.31 for maintenance, and $222,175.09 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $407,060.68. Condition at end of fiscal year.-There were seven locks and dams completed and three under construction, which will complete the project from the mouth to Knoxville, Tenn. The table under para- graph "Existing project" shows the year of completion of locks and dams now in operation together with pertinent data concerning those under construction. The locks and dams completed provide a navi- gable depth of 6 feet between the mouth and Watts Bar Dam (530 miles). The minimum available depth above Watts Bar Dam is 1.2 feet at extreme low water. The river in this section is usually navigable for 2- to 6-foot draft from December 1 to July 31. 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 depth is available. The completed locks and dams were operated and maintained under the permanent indefinite appropriation to the end of the fiscal year 1935 as follows: Hales Bar, since November 1, 1913; Gen- eral Joe Wheeler, since November 27, 1934; Wilson, since June 1, 1927; and lock and dam No. 1 since March 1, 1926. Subsequent to June 30, 1935, operation and maintenance have been RIVE;RS AND HARBORS--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1321 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 $5,581,707.61, of which $2,214,244.21 was for new work, $2,353,038.56 for maintenance, and $1,014,424.84 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $5,001,481.21. 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.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN., AND ROSSVILLE, GA. Location.-This project is located at Chattanooga, Tenn., and the adjoining suburb of Rossville, Ga., on both banks of the Tennessee River, about 464 miles above the mouth and 188 miles below the source of the river. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a series of earth levees and concrete flood walls consisting, by sections, of the following features: (1) Tennessee River, right bank section, a levee 9,000 feet in length beginning about 200 feet upstream from the north approach of the Walnut Street Bridge, ex- tending downstream to the Market Street Bridge, and thence running southwesterly to high ground at Stringers Ridge; (2) Citico Creek section, a levee 17,300 feet in length beginning 3,000 feet northeast of Boyce Station, extending northwest by short sections of levee be- tween high points, deflecting and running in a general southerly direction to high ground north of the Citico yards of the Southern Railway, and relocation of part of Citico Creek by a new channel 2,500 feet in length; (3) Tennessee River, left bank, central section, a floodwall 2,400 feet in length beginning at the rock bluff just up- stream from the Market Street Bridge and extending downstream to high ground at Second and Pine Streets; (4) Tennessee River, left bank, south section, about 9,600 feet of levee and 4,900 feet of floodwall, the levee beginning at Cameron Hill and extending west- erly to the top of the river bank where it turns and runs down- stream to the head of Ross Towhead, at which point the works change to a concrete floodwall, continuing southerly along the river bank 1326 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 to the mouth of Chattanooga Creek; (5) Chattanooga Creek section, about 30,000 feet of levees and a new channel for Chattanooga Creek with a length of about 16,000 feet, the new channel following a line extending from near the mouth of the creek to Royal Avenue at the Tennessee-Georgia State line, the channel generally being paralleled on both sides by levees, the left levee tying into high ground near the upper and lower ends of the channel and the levee along the right bank tying into the Rossville levee at the Tennessee-Georgia State line and into the railway yards near the mouth of the creek; (6) Rossville section, actually a continuation of the Chattanooga Creek section, consisting of a levee about 7,000 feet long, extending from high ground south of Rossville to the right bank levee of the Chattanooga Creek section at the Tennessee-Georgia State line. The proposed works will afford protection with a 5-foot freeboard to the cities of Chattanooga and Rossville from floods equivalent to the maximum flood of record, which reached a gage height of 57.9 feet. Necessary sewer and drainage structure, pumping plants, floodgates, ramps, and railroad and street modifications are also included in the project. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941 (H.Doc. 479, 76th Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost of new work, made in 1939, is $13,500,000 for construction and $3,263,000 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. Local interests have given informal assurances that the requirements of local coopera- tion will be complied with. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Preliminary investigations have been completed, but no construction work has been done. Proposed operations.-No operations are proposed in the fiscal year 1942. The sum of $200,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 on preparation of detailed plans and specifications.

MIDDLESBORO, CUMBERLAND RIVER BASIN, KY. Location.-This project is located at Middlesboro, Ky., on Yellow Creek, a tributary entering the Cumberland River about 660 miles above its mfouth. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a system of canals and levees around one side of the town, arranged so as to divert most of the headwaters of Yellow Creek away RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1327 from the present channel through the heart of the city. The series of canals and levees are about 4 miles in length, beginning on Bennetts Fork at the western edge of the town and ending at Yellow Creek near the United States Leather Co. tannery at the northern edge of the town. The cuts involved excavation of approximately 695,000 cubic yards of material, of which about 410,000 cubic yards were utilized in the levee system. Besides construction of the diversion channel, there is other incidental work, including the installation of culverts and the relocation and rebuilding of roadways and bridges. The construction of this project diverts from the business district and from a large part of the residential section the floodwaters which originate in that part of the basin lying north and west of the city, thus affording protection, in a large measure, to life and property from these headwater floods which cause the greatest damage. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1940, is $811,500. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Relocation of the rail- road bridge, which was commenced during the previous fiscal year, was completed. Acquisition of rights-of-way and flowage easements was approximately 95 percent completed. The total costs during the year were $48,563.62, of which $48,441.72 was for new work and $121.90 for maintenance. The total expenditures for the year were $52,786.55, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fscal year.-All construction work has been completed and all rights-of-way and easemefits have been acquired with the exception of 32 parcels which have been acquired by the city of Middleboro and are in process of being transferred to the United States, and 9 parcels for which condemnation proceedings have been instituted in the Federal court. The total costs to June 30, 1941, were $790,779.15, of which $790,657.25, including $38,876.31 Emer- gency Relief funds, were for new work, and $121.90 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $790,570.28, including $38,876.31 from Emergency Relief funds.

WOLF CREEK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, KY. Location.-The site of the Wolf Creek Dam is on the Cumberland River, 460.9 miles above its mouth. It is in Russell County, Ky., and is about 10 miles southwest of Jamestown, Ky., and 12 miles north of Albany, Ky. The Wolf Creek Reservoir will extend 101 miles up the main stream, 48 miles up the South Fork of Cumberland River, and will lie within Russell, Clinton, Wayne, Pulaski, McCreary, Laurel, and Whitley Counties, Ky. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a dam for flood control and future development of hydro- electric power. It will have a maximum height of 242 feet and a length of 5,730 feet, of which 3,900 feet are rolled earth embankment and 1,836 feet are concrete. From the left abutment, a short concrete nonoverflow section will extent to a concrete gravity spillway section located in the present stream channel which will be provided with 12 sluices for the control of floods under the initial development and 10 tainter crest gates under the final development which will permit the generation of hydroelectric power. Adjoining the spillway, there will be a concrete powerhouse intake structure through which 6 penstocks will be constructed. A nonoverflow concrete gravity retaining section will provide a transition between that section and the earth embank- ment which extends across the valley to the right abutment. In the initial development the reservoir will have a storage capacity of 3,887,000 acre-feet of which 3,783,000 acre-feet will be allocated for RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1329 flood-control storage and 104,000 acre-feet for a permanent conserva- tion pool. In the ultimate development the maximum pool will cover an area of 56,830 acres with a total storage capacity of 5,782,000 acre- feet,. of which 1,895,000 will be allocated to flood control and 3,887,000 to power. A minimum pool of 1,870,000 acre-feet will be available for recreational purposes and as a wildlife refuge. The drainage area con- trolled will be 5,810 square miles or approximately one-third of the Cumberland River Basin. The proposed power installation in the ultimate development will be 250,000 kilowatts. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved .June 28, 1938 (Public, No. 761, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). The estimated cost of the project for the initial development, revised in 1941, is $35,000,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preparationof the plans and specifications for the dam and access road has been completed. Contract for the access road has been let. Bids have been asked for the construction of the dam, with construction to be started at the begin- ning of fiscal year 1942. Land and rights-of-way for the dam and access road have been acquired.

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 piroject.-This provides for the purchase of improvements 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 reconstruction of lock No. 2, Green River; the upstream extension of slack-water navi- gation 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 dam No. 5. Green River, 2 feet, by means of a movable A-frame top; the improve- ment 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 423144--41-pt. 1, vol. 2--16 1336 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 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.

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 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 convevor for load- ing asphalt and one land derrick for unloading coal. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. 1338 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS:, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Operations and results d ring fiscal year.-Work during the fiscal year consisted of the operation and care of the seven locks and dams on the Green and Barren Rivers at a cost of $82,619.84, and the main- tenance of the channels in the pools of the dams at a cost of $24,- 626.45, a total of $107,246.29. The expenditures were $105,170.73. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The canalization system on Green and Barren Rivers is in only fair condition, except lock No. 1, Bar- ren River, and lock and dam No. 5, Green River, which are in excel- lent condition. The controlling navigable depth in the sections cov- ered by the existing project was 5.5 feet at the end of the fiscal year. New work remaining to be done consists of removing over- hanging rock ledges at Whistle Mountain on Nolin River, provided for by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, and the im- provement of Bear Creek, provided for by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930.

ROUGH RIVER, KY. 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, Hart- ford, 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 completed, 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 23 feet above pool stage was reached. 1340 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Terminal facilities.-There are a few unimproved private landings which are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work during the fiscal year consisted of the maintenance and operation of the lock and dam. The total cost and expenditures during the fiscal year were $1,381.04 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1899. At the end of the year the lock and dam were in fair condition and a slack-water channel was available from the mouth to Hartford, Ky., for boats not exceeding a 4-foot draft. The costs to the end of the fiscal year were $105,500 for new work and $17,420.95 for operating and care, a total of $122,920.95. The expenditures were $122,873.45.

TRADEWATER RIVER, KY. Location.-This river is a tributary of the Ohio River lying wholly within the State of Kentucky. It rises in Christian County, flows 1342 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 in a northwesterly direction, and empties into the Ohio River near Caseyville, Ky., at a point 108 miles from the mouth and 81 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. Operationsand results during the fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed 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. This width was ample for existing traffic except at the sharp bends in the river where channel widening is needed to facilitate the movement of barges. The costs and expendi- tures 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. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1941, in the amount of $1,429.23, will be applied to widening the channel in. the bends. The additional sum of $500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 to be applied to channel clearing.

Location.-The Lyford levee unit is located in Parke County, Ind., on the left bank of the Wabash River, 227.5 to 234.7 miles above the mouth. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for raising and enlarging approximately 5.2 miles of existing earth levee and con- structing 2.6 miles of new earth levee along the left bank of the Wabash River from mile 234.7 to mile 227.5 above the mouth, 4.4 and 2.8 miles, respectively, upstream and downstream from the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad bridge to Clinton, Ind. The project will provide protection for approximately 3,500 acres of agricultural land against cropping season floods. Floods of suffi- cient magnitude to overtop the levee are expected to occur on an average of once in 13 years. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1941, is $204,300 for construction and $19,500 for lands and damages. The latest pub- lished map is contained in House Document No. 100, Seventy-third Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations during the fiscal year consisted of the completion of construction by contract of the levee, and the initiation of hired labor repairs to cracks in the completed levee. The costs during the fiscal year were $23,203.46 from regular funds for new work. The expenditures were $48,367.66. Condition at end of fiscal year.-At the end of the fiscal year the construction of the project was substantially complete, and clean-up operations and repairs to levees were 50 percent complete. The work remaining to be done consists of the completion of clean-up operations and repairs to levees; the performance of after- completion studies and the preparation of regulations governing the maintenance and operation of the completed project by local interests. The total costs and expenditures to the end of the fiscal year were $200,433.80 from regular funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1941, amounting to $3,957.63, will be applied to new work, to clean-up operations and repairs to levees by hired labor, July 1 to December 30, 1941, $2,457.63, and to after-completion studies by hired labor, July 1, 1941, to June 30, 1942, $1,500. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943, as the project will be completed with the available funds.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations during the fiscal year consisted of the making of surveys and project plans for the development of the general comprehensive plan for flood control in the Ohio River Basin. The costs during the fiscal year were $101,257.94 from regular funds for new work. The expenditures were $98,410.91. Condition at end of fiscal year.-At the end of the fiscal year sur- veys and project plans for the development of the general compre- hensive plan for flood control in the Ohio River Basin were well advanced. The construction progress of projects selected for construction under this authorization is given in idividual reports. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $338,145.11 from regular funds and $421.71 from Emergency Relief funds, a total of $338,566.82, all for new work. The expenditures were $334,691.29 from regular funds and $421.71 from Emergency Relief funds, a total of $335,113. 1380 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1941, amounting to $134,967.28 will be applied to continuing surveys and the preparation of project plans for the development of the general comprehensive plan. The additional sum of $1,674,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 for surveys and the preparation of project plans and for the initiation of construction of additional projects included in the general comprehensive plan.

LOCKS AND DAMS NOS. 29-39, OHIO RIVER For report on this improvement see page 1294. 2. OHIO RIVER, OPEN CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement see page 1301. 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, and flows in a general northwesterly direction 258.6 miles, and empties into the Ohio River at Carrollton, Ky., mile 545.8 below Pitts- burgh, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for State of Kentucky; 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 length of the 6-foot depth project on the main stem of the Kentucky River is 258.6 miles to the confluence of the middle and north forks. The river frequently rises to a height of 35 feet or more. Extreme flood height at lock No. 1 due to backwater from Ohio River when in flood is 60.3 feet, while extreme floods reach a height of 47.6 feet at lock No. 4, and 35.5 feet at lock No. 14. At some intermediate locks the extreme heights of floods exceed 40 feet. All flood heights are referred to upper-pool gages. 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 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.

Terminal facilities.-Practically no terminal facilities exist for general merchandise and miscellaneous freight. At and near Beatty- ville and Ravenna large tanks are located for the storage of oil which was formerly shipped in barges by the river. Tanks for receiving gasoline are located at or near Carrollton, Frankfort, and Camp Nel- son, Ky. Six inclines for receiving coal, two chutes for delivering coal, two inclines for receiving logs, one derrick for receiving sand and gravel, one conveyor for shipping, and one crane for receiving sand, gravel, etc., all small in character aid mostly used intermittently, only, are located at various points on the river. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The locks, dams, and necessary plant were maintained in operating condition. There were temporary interruptions to traffic caused by high water at some of the locks. There were no interruptions to traffic due to ice conditions, although the river was frozen over in some of the pools. Sufficient dredging was done through bars in the channel and de- posit removed from lock chambers, entrances, and approaches to permit the passage of commercial tows. The full project depth of 6 feet was not available during extreme low-water periods in the upper end of the pools of locks Nos. 12 and 13 as the movable A-frame crests which increased the pool heights 2 feet were removed in 1935. The major items of maintenance of 16ck and dam structures were as follows: Lock No. 1, repair of filling valves in upper gate, repair of eroded area in downstream slope of dam and protection of river face of foundation of downstream training wall of abutment; Lock No. 5, repair of eroded areas of downstream slope of dam and leak through dam; lock No. 9, repair of filling valves in lock walls. 1386 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 The cost of maintenance work was $153,546.61, of which $45,609.72 was for channel maintenance and $107,936.89 was for operation and care. The total expenditures for the year were $152,841.08. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1917. The work accomplished under the project has been the re- habilitation 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 limestone walls at locks Nos. 1 to 8, inclusive, are wearing away by erosion. Spalling of the walls at locks Nos. 5, 7, and 8 is occurring to an extensive degree and to a lesser degree at the other locks. The condition of the concrete-capped, stone-filled timber-crib dams at locks Nos. 1 to 8, inclusive, vary from fair to poor. The dams are settling in places 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 on which the walls are founded. The condition of the lock gates, valves, and other appurtenances is fair, except at locks Nos. 10 and 11 where the concrete quoins, gate valves, seal timbers, and miter timbers are in poor condition. The concrete guide and guard walls and piers at the locks are mostly founded on stone-filled timber cribs and are generally in poor condi- tion. Due to deterioration of the supporting cribs, most of these walls and piers are settling and leaning and some actual failures have oc- curred. The channel is in fair condition. However, the full project. depth of 6 feet is not available during extreme low-water periods in the upper ends of the pools of locks Nos. 12 and 13. The dams at these locks formerly had movable A-frame crests, which increased the pool heights 2 feet. The A-frame crests and anchorages were removed and stored, as there was no navigation in the pools requiring the full project depth of the channel. The total cost on this project to the end of the fiscal year was $5,029,043.77, of which $4,176,749.05 was for new work and $852,294.72 for maintenance (operating and care).

SALYERSVILLE, LICKING RIVER, KY. Location.-The project is located on the right bank of the Licking River, 275 miles above its confluence with the Ohio River, opposite Cincinnati, Ohio, in Magoffin County, Ky. Existing project.-The project provides for the construction of a levee along the right bank of State Road Fork (a tributary of the Licking River) and the Licking River, together with a pumping plant to dispose of internal drainage. The project will protect the main portion of the town against floods equal in magnitude to that of the February 1939 flood (maximum of record) with a 3-foot freeboard. The works begin at high ground near the.upstream end of town and extend to the right bank of State Road Fork, curve downstream par- allel to the bank of that stream to the right bank of the Licking River, and thence along the latter to high ground near the downstream end of Salyersville. The total project involves the construction of about 4,700 lineal feet of earth levee and appurtenant works, together with pumping facilities to dispose of internal drainage. Ramps will be provided to carry existing highways over the protective works. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941. (See H. Doc. No. 261, 77th Cong., 1st sess., which contains the latest published map.) The estimated cost is $174,000 for construction and $12,000 for rights-of-way and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. Assurances have not as yet been received. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work relative to the construc- tion of the project has been initiated. Proposed operations.-No work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1942.

IRONTON, OHIO RIVER BASIN; OHIO Location.-On the right bank of the Ohio River at Ironton, Law- rence County, Ohio. The upstream end of the project is about 324.5 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project.--The project provides for the construction of systems of levees and flood walls including appurtenant works to protect the entire area of the city of Ironton inundated by the 1937 Rood. The works begin at high ground near the upstream corpora- RIVERS AND HARBORS-CINCINNATI, OHIO, DISTRICT 1391 tion line, continue to the Ohio River along that line, and along the Ohio River to Storms Creek, tying into high ground by return works along Storms Creek. Additional works begin at high ground on the right bank of Storms Creek, continue along the creek to the Ohio River and extend along the river and the downstream corporation line to high ground. Storms Creek divides the project essentially into 2 separate units which have been designated the north and south units. The total project, including both units, involves the construction of about 30,800 lineal feet of earth levee; 5,500 lineal feet of reinforced concrete wall; relocation of a portion of Storms Creek involving excavation of 145,000 cubic yards of earth; the pro- vision of 16 openings in the protective works to permit free passage of traffic during normal periods; the construction of appropriate gates to close the aforementioned openings during flood periods; and the construction of drainage disposal facilities including pump- ing stations, pondage drains, and the conversion of an existing sewer to a pressure conduit. The project provides for the protection of the entire city of Ironton against floods equivalent to that of 1937 (maxi- mum of record) with a 3-foot freeboard. The existing project was authorized for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved August 28, 1937. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1941, is $2,520,000 for construction and $699,000 for rights-of-way and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. The requirements are being fulfilled. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Office and field studies, the design of the project, preparation of construction drawings and specifications were completed in the fiscal year, and actual con- struction was continued throughout the year. Construction opera- tions during the entire year, which resulted in the virtual completion of the south unit of the project, comprised the completion of about 5,400 lineal feet of earth levee, about 2,800 lineal feet of concrete wall, 4 closure gates and 6 pump houses complete with equipment. In addition, invitations for bids were issued for the construction of the entire north unit including embankment, gates, sewage pumps, and appurtenant works. The cost of new work during the year was $771,145.33 from regular funds. Expenditures amounted to $729,- 525.60 from regular funds. The work performed was accomplished by hired labor and by contract. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionof the project was in progress. At the end of the fiscal year the entire project was ap- proximately 80 percent complete. Approximately 21,400 lineal feet of earth levee, 5,500 lineal feet of concrete wall, 12 gate closures and 6 pump stations with equipment have been completed. Rein- forcing of the Pine Street sewer to convert it to a pressure conduit and the diversion of Storms Creek has also been completed. The above construction has virtually completed the south unit. Invita- tions for bids have been issued for construction of the entire north unit including embankment, gates, sewage pumps, and appurtenances. The total cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year, all new work, was $2,114,103.37 of which $2,041,993.75 was from regu- 1392 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

PORTSMOUTH-NEW BOSTON, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location.-The project is located at the cities of Portsmouth and New Boston, Ohio, on the right bank of the Ohio River above the mouth of the Scioto River in Scioto County, Ohio. The project, as tentatively proposed, will extend from mile 350.2 to mile 356.5 below Pittsburgh. Existing project.-At present the city of Portsmouth is protected with a levee and flood-wall system against a stage of 62 feet on the Portsmouth gage. The proposed project provides a levee and flood- wall system to supplement the present system and extend it to include the city of New Boston and a portion of Portsmouth beyond the up- stream New Boston corporation line. The project will provide pro- tection to the entire city of Portsmouth with the exception of Sciotoville, a small suburb located in the eastern end thereof, and the protection to the entire city of New Boston against floods equal in magnitude to that of 1937 (maximum of record) with a '3-foot free- board. The proposed project will extend from the northern corpora- tion line at the Scioto River downstream along the Scioto River and upstream along the Ohio River through Portsmouth and New Boiton to a point about 1,000 feet above the upstream New Boston corpora- tion line. The project comprises the construction of about 24,700 linear feet of levee involving about 1,460,000 cubic. yards of rolled fill embankment and 1,210,000 cubic yards of hydraulic fill embank- ment; about 16,600 linear feet of reinforced concrete wall; the pro- 1396 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 vision of 13 traffic openings to permit the free passage of traffic during normal periods; the construction of appropriate gates to close the aforementioned openings during flood periods; the remodeling and reconstruction of certain of the existing flood pumping stations and the construction of additional pumping stations to dispose of internal drainage; and the construction of other appurtenant works. The project has been selected for construction under the general authori- zation for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of the project is $5,713,- 000, of which $5,238,000 is for construction and $475,000 is for rights- of-way and damages. Local cooperation.--See page 7 for requirements. The requirements are being fulfilled by both cities. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Office and field studies, the design of the project, preparation of construction drawings and specifications, and actual construction were in progress throughout the fiscal year. Construction operations during the entire year com- prised the virtual completion of the hydraulic fill section of the levee along the Scioto River and the initiation of construction of about 4,000 linear feet of concrete flood wall. Invitations for bids were issued for the construction of approximately 19,500 linear feet of earth levee and appurtenant works. The cost of new work during the year was $406,- 628.42 from regular funds. The expenditures were $383,976.55 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The design of the project and the preparation of construction plans and specifications were about 60 percent complete. Construction was in progress and comprised the completion of the hydraulic fill section of the levee, about 7,000 linear feet, along the Scioto River and the initiation of construction of ap- proximately 4,000 linear feet of concrete flood wall. Construction work completed represents about 15 percent of the entire project. In addition invitations have been issued for bids for construction of about 19,500 linear feet of earth levee and appurtenant works. The cost of the existing project at the end of the fiscal year was $541,560.99, of which $531,471.69 was from regular funds and $10,089.30 was from Emergency Relief funds.

S. ARMY, 1941 14. FALMOUTH RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, KY. Location.-The project is located on the Licking River, a Kentucky tributary of the Ohio River. The dam site is located about 7 miles above Falmouth, Ky., in Pendleton County, and the reservoir area lies in Pendleton, Bracken, Harrison, Robertson, Nicholas, Fleming, Bath, and Rowan Counties. Existing project.-The tentative plan of improvement provides for the construction of an earth dam about 1,600 feet in length at the crest and rising 120 feet above the stream bed. The plan provides for the construction of a saddle spillway in the right abutment, together with gate-control outlets near the left abutment, appro- priate intake structures, and a stilling basin below the conduits to dissipate the energy of the discharge therefrom. The reservoir has a gross capacity of 320,000 acre-feet to spillway crest and will con- trol 2,257 square miles of Licking River watershed out of a total area of 3,672 square miles. The project will be used for the control of floods in the Licking River Valley and will be operated as a unit in a coordinated reservoir system for the reduction of floods on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The existing project has been selected for construction under the provisions of the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 22, 1936. The total estimated cost of the project is $5,994,000 for new work. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Basic plans were sub- stantially completed and office studies and field surveys were con- tinued. The cost of new work during the year was $16,973.97 from regular funds. Expenditures amounted to $15,267.45 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Basic plans have been substantially completed and field surveys were in progress to acquire data to deter- mine the advisability of modifying the basic plans to include provi- sions for a multiple-purpose project. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $48,973.97 from regular funds. Ex- penditures were $47,267.45 from regular fund.- Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1941, $45,732.55, will be applied to accounts payable, $1,309.25, and to new work, by hired labor, fiscal year 1942, engineering design and initia- tion of preparation of contract plans and specifications, $44,423.30.

CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS, OHIO RIVER For report on this improvement see page 1294. 2. OHIO RIVER, OPEN CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement see page 1301. 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 92.85 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. 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 1412 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY1 1941 some minor work, the net total expended from specific appropria- tions having been $301,911.53. 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 new 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 facilities.-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 72.1. Coal shipped from this dock is unloaded at a slip situated at mile 67.7. Three yards, principally equipped for unloading sand and gravel, are situated at miles 0.1, 0.9, and 76.4, respectively. Numerous land- ings, not equipped, are used to 'stock pile sand and gravel for State and county roads. Two private terminals for handling petroleum products exist on the river. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-A-New work.-Purchased timber and water rights on a tract of land at lock No. 11. The cost during the fiscal year was $189. Main tenance.-The locks and dams were operated as required and the necessary repairs to maintain in serviceable condition were made thereto and to the appurtenant structures. Sufficient dredging was done through bars in the channel to permit the passage of commercial tows. Navigation was suspended 3 days on account of ice conditions and 19 days at lock No. 10 on account of repair work consisting of the renewal of middle lock gate and miter sill. The cost during the fiscal year was $74,245.35. The total cost for the fiscal year was $74,434.35, of which $189 was for new work, $1,079.76 was for channel maintenance, and $70,165.59 for peration and care of locks and dams. ....The expenditures were $75,846.16.. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The locks and dams are in fair condition. The available depth for navigation is 4.5 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 1414 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 was $832,187.39, of which $301,911.53 was for new work, and $530,- 275.86 for maintenance, including $506,605.72 for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $831,016.91. 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 improve- ment under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

Va., for unloading acid, but not available for public use. Numerous coal tipples, owned by private interests, exist, available for use only to the owners for loading into barges the coal mined by them. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-New workc.-Work in connection with the acquisition of flowage easement occasioned by the increased pool heights was continued. The cost during the fiscal year was $115,521.27. * Maintenance.-The locks and dams were operated as required and necessary repairs made thereto and to the appurtenant structures. The channels in the pools of the dams were maintained to permit the passage of commercial tows. The cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $192,278.21, of which $53,847.78 was for channel main- tenance and $138,430.43 for operating and care of locks and dams. The total expenditures were $307,751.50. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 96 per- cent completed. The work remaining to be done consists of complet- ing the procurement of flowage easements and the surfacing of the roadway at the Gallipolis locks. The available depth for navigation is 9 feet from the mouth to the head of the improvement, a distance of 90.57 miles. Above the improved portion of the river, the minimum depth in the open channel is less than 1 foot. For details of locks and dams see table under paragraph "Existing project." The total cost, all funds, under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $23,705,731.05, of which $9,079,132.16 regular funds, $9,004,800.23 public works funds, and $4,498,688.03 emergency relief funds, a total of $22,582,620.42, was for new work and $1,123,110.63 regular funds for maintenance, including $985,592.38 for operating and care of locks and dams. The total expenditures were $23 694,- 070.11, including $9,004,800.23 !Public Works funds and $4,498,688.03 Emergency Relief funds. In addition the sum of $5,159,879.10 was expended between July 1884 and June 30, 1936, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appro- priations for such purposes.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1421 6. BIG SANDY RIVER, W. VA. AND KY., INCLUDING LEVISA AND TUG FORKS Location.-Big Sandy River, 27.2 miles in length, is formed by the junction of the Levisa and Tug Forks at Louisa, Ky., flows in a northerly direction, and empties into the Ohio River at Catlettsburg, Ky. Levisa Fork, 160 miles in length, rises in southwestern Virginia 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 An- nual 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., 27.2 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 an d fixed dam near L ouisa, K y ............

Recommended modification 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 one privately owned terminal 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 $24,351.31 for operation and care. The expenditures were $29,581.04. 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 $1,447,552.51, of which $1,205,- 804.92 was for new work and $241,747.59 for maintenance, including $176,889.93 for operating and care of locks and dams. The total ex- penditures were $1,447,319.59. In addition, the sum of $1,002,273.16 was expended between January 1897 and June 30, 1938, on the opera- tion and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

MUSKINGUM RIVER 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 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS--HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1427 application of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, which agreed to furnish rights-of-way, flowage rights, and other expenses not directly involved in the actual construction of the reservoirs 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 the actual expenditures made by it in acquiring lands, easements, and rights-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 Appropri- ation 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 approved June 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, is $36,090,000, of which $16,296,000 is for construction and $19,794,000 for lands and damages.

S. ARMY, 1941 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 ease- ments, the cost of appraisals and other administrative and legal ex- penses, and the expense (including construction costs) of all necessary relocations and vacations of public highways. The conservancy dis- trict further agreed to maintain, operate, and protect the completed project, and that operation should be in such manner as in the judg- ment of the Chief of Engineers will best serve the interests of naviga- tion and flood control on the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers. It also agreed to save the United States harmless from all claims for damages arising from the construction, maintenance, and operation of the project. Since the total of the conservancy district's expenditures and commitments as of January 1, 1936, were less than $12,000,000, the amount stipulated in the agreement, the conservancy district agreed to make available and expend or cause to be expended in the succeeding 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 accom- plishment of the project and official plan and property to be con- tributed 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 approved June 28, 1938, now applies to this project, subject to certain pro- visions contained in the Flood Control Act approved August 11, 1939. Operations and results during fiscal year-Regular flood-control funds-New work.-Under provisions of the Flood Control Act ap- proved August 11, 1939, the Muskingum Conservancy District was reimbursed in the amount of $100,000. Payment in the amount of $702,000 was made to the State of Ohio for the relocation of 8.17 miles of State highway in the areas of the Bolivar, Dover, and Seneca- ville Reservoirs. The cost during the fiscal year was $965,732.78. Maintenance (operating and care).-The 14 flood-control reservoir dams were operated and necessary repairs made thereto and to the appurtenant structures. Engineering studies, including formulation of program for reservoir operation, were continued. The cost during the fiscal year was $61,403 65. The total expenditures from regular funds were $1,067,747.35. National Industrial Recovery funds-New work.-The relocation of county roads was continued. The installation of two-way radio communication system and the erection of flagpoles and identification monuments at the 14 flood-control reservoir dams were completed. The cost during the fiscal year was $126,228.95. The expenditures were $236,955.72. The total cost, all funds, was $1,156,365.38, of which $1,091.961.73 was for new work and $64,403.65 for operating and care. The ex- penditures were $1,304.703.07.

BLUESTONE RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, W. VA. Location.--On New River, W. Va., and Va., about 2.5 miles above Hinton, W. Va., and 1 mile above the confluence of the New and Green- brier Rivers. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a concrete gravity dam having a maximum height of 165 feet and an over-all length of 2,061.5 feet, consisting of 790 feet of spillway section, 312.5 feet of powerhouse intake structure and 959 feet of nonoverflow sections and abutments, and the construction of a powerhouse providing for the initial installation of two 30,000-kilo- watt units and the ultimate installation of six 30,000-kilowatt units. The reservoir created, extending approximately 36 miles upstream from the dam and providing for the gross storage of 609,400 acre- feet, will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system for the protection of the New, Kanawha, and Ohio Valleys generally and for the development of power. The estimated cost of new work in- cluding the initial power installation of two units is $21,814,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Acts ap- proved June 22, 1936, and June 28, 1938. Prior to the foregoing authorizations, under provisions of Executive Order No. 7183A, dated September 12, 1935, which authorized the construction of a reservoir dam on New River for the reduction of flood heights in the Kanawha and Ohio Valleys, and for the development of power, surveys, founda- tion explorations, clearing of reservoir area, design of dam, and the acquisition of land were undertaken. The sum of $543,960.27 from emergency relief funds was allotted for initiating this work. For further details, see page 1453 of the Annual Report for 1939. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. RIVERS AND HARBORS-HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1435 Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations during the fiscal year consisted of continuing revision of the drawings and speci- fications. The cost of new work during the fiscal year was $18,512.24. The expenditures were $17,430.72. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The plans and specifications for construction of the dam were practically complete. Of the estimated 7,850 acres of land required for the project, 152.3 acres have been acquired. The total cost of new work from regular funds to the end of the fiscal year was $82,927.01.

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 southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.) Previous projects.-These provided for the acquisition by the United States in 1897 of original locks Nos. 1 to 7, inclusive, which were built by the Monongahela Navigation Co., and the extension of slack-water navigation to the head of the river by the construction of original locks Nos. 8 to 15, inclusive, prior to 1904. The projects were 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. Existing 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 and dams Nos. 7, 8, and 9 were replaced by new locks and dams Nos. 7 and 8 in 1925. Increased traffic necessitated an enlargement and improvement of locks and dams Nos. 1 to 6 between Pittsburgh and Rices Landing, Pa., by the building of 2 parallel chambers and fixed concrete dams. Original locks and dams Nos. 10 to 15, inclusive, are still adequate for the present traffic and are maintained under the existing project. 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 mile 100.3 in the upper reach of pool No. 8 is 9 feet at normal pool level, then to mile 100.9 is 8 feet, and from this point to the head of the river 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: 1460 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Acts Work authorized Documents -i------------ Mar. 3, 1899 Enlargement and improvement of lock and dam Annual Report, 1897, p. 2423.

All depths as shown are on guard sills and are controlling depths. Terminal facilities.-The city of Pittsburgh has constructed a mod- ern wharf and transfer facilities for river freight. Boat landings are maintained by some municipalities along the river. A large number of tipples at mines and various types of hoists at manufacturing plants and sand and gravel supply companies are maintained for private -use in loading and unloading coal, coke, billets, steel products, sand, gravel, and other commodities. These terminals and docks are not available for the purpose of general commerce. A number of docks and pipe lines are also privately maintained for petroleum and acid products. Marine ways are maintained by some of the larger industries. There are also several terminals for rail-to- river and river-to-rail transfer. 1462 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Existing private terminals are adequate for shipments and receipt in the Pittsburgh district of the type of commerce now in existence. The provision of river-to-rail and rail-to-river transfer terminals on an extensive scale is not important, since 98 percent of traffic using the river passes through the private terminals, which are more than adequate for the prospective commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Investiga- tions were conducted and the purchase of land completed at lock No. 8. Maintenance.-Soundings were taken at various locations from the mouth of the river to pool No. 8 and plans prepared for possible future dredging work. Channel markings were maintained during the fiscal year. All structures were operated and maintained in a serviceable condition throughout the year. In addition to ordinary repairs and painting of structures and plant, the dam was repaired at lock No. 2. Repairs were made to the lock valves and miter sills, and both upper and lower lock gates in the landward chamber were replaced with re- paired gates. At lock No. 3 approximately 30 cubic yards of concrete was replaced and 1,040 square feet of wall surface gunited to complete repairs to the river face of the river wall at the powerhouse. The turbine was repaired. At lock No. 4 repairs were made to two filling and two emptying valves in the landward lock chamber. At lock No. 5 repairs were made to the valves, quoin seals were replaced, and the lock chamber cleared of muck and debris. The upstream nose of the middle wall was repaired, as were the valves, miter sills, tunnel cross- ing, and quoin seals on the upper gate in the landward lock chamber. At lock No. 6 approximately 159 cubic yards of concrete was removed and replaced in refacing and armoring a portion of the upper guard wall. At lock No. 7 approximately 420 cubic yards of old concrete was removed and replaced to complete resurfacing of lock walls. Re- pairs were started on the river wall emptying valves. At lock No. 8 the upper miter sill and one filling valve were repaired. At lock No. 10 the United States derrick boat Monallo removed the lower lock gates, new pintles were installed, and the gates were reset. The costs during the fiscal year were $456,137.78, of which $2,884.76 was for new work, $6,692.87 was for channel maintenance, and $446,- 560.15 for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures during the fiscal year were $468,609.24. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1941. The 13 locks and dams are in serviceable condition. The head of navigation is at a point 4 miles above Fairmont, W. Va. For controlling depths at locks and dams and other details, see tables under paragraph "Existing project." The total costs of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $12,513,466.81, of which $10,415,031.11 was for new work and $2,098,435.70 was for maintenance, including $2,091,742.83 for operation and care of locks and dams. The total expenditures were $12,503,348.86. In addition, the sum of $20,446,587.32 was expended between July 7, 1897, and June 30, 1937, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

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 for western Pennsylvania and southwestern New York.) 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. Original locks and dams Nos. 2 and 3 were replaced by new locks and dams Nos. 2 and 3 in 1934. Lock and dam No. 1 was eliminated in 1938 by the raising of the Emsworth Dam, Ohio River. The controlling 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 of new work, revised in 1941, is $18,400,000. 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.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The city of Pittsburgh is constructing a modern wharf and transfer facilities for river freight. There are numerous privately maintained terminals and docks consisting of tipples, vari- ous types of hoists, chutes, and pipe lines for use in loading and un- loading coal, coke, sand, gravel, limestone, cement, petroleum prod- ucts, steel products, and other commodities. The transshipment of freight between river and railroads is handled at privately owned river-to-rail terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year-Regular funds--New w'ork.--At lock No. 2, the U. S. dredge Beaver dredged an area of 554,025 square feet below the dam, removing approximately 82,290 cubic yards of material; the U. S. dredge Beaver also dredged an area of 704,150 square feet at the lower lock approach removing approximately 125,564 cubic yards of material. At lock No. 3, nego- tiations were completed in connection with the purchase of land and flowage easements. The placing of the pile cut-off wall and concrete paving at the abutment side of lock No. 3 was completed by hired labor. In pool No. 3, dredging the channel between Natrona and Creighton, Pa., was completed under contract, approximately 44,837 cubic yards 1466 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMIY, 1941 of material being removed from an area of about 310,046 square feet. At lock No. 5 the construction of an upper guide-wall extension, ap- proximately 200 linear feet in length, was completed under contract. At lock No. 9, the dredging of a navigation and hydraulic channel below the lock and dam was completed under contract with the removal of approximately 450,353 cubic yards of material from an area of 2,644,890 square feet. The placing of sand and gravel fill and riprap stone for bank revetment below the abutment was completed by hired labor. The construction of two locktenders' dwellings was started under contract. Negotiations were continued in connection with the purchase of land and flowage easements. Maintenance.-Surveys were made for possible future dredging work. Channel markings were maintained during the fiscal year. The operation and maintenance in serviceable condition of locks Nos. 2 to 9, inclusive, constituted the principal activities. At lock No. 8 repairs were completed to the valves. The total costs during the fiscal year were $404,425.12, of which $256,120.03 was for new work, $1,678.44 was for channel maintenance, and $146,626.65 for operation and care of locks and dams. The ex- penditures duriig the fiscal year were $432,172.68. Public works funds.-The balance of funds allotted by the Public Works Administration was applied to the acquisition of land in pool No. 3. The total cost and expenditure for the fiscal year, all for new work, was $37,709.56. The total cost, all funds, was $442,134.68, of which $293,829.59 was for new work, $1,678.44 was for channel maintenance, and $146,626.65 for operation and care of locks and dams. The total expenditures were $469,882.24. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was about 99.8 percent completed. Locks and dams Nos. 2 to 9, inclusive are in operation, giving slack-water navigation from the mouth to East Brady, Pa., 72 miles above the mouth. For details concerning locks and dams, see tables under paragraph "Existing project." The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the construction of lockmasters' dwellings at lock No. 9, and purchase of land in pool No. 8 and at lock No. 9.

OHIO RIVER, OPEN-CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement, see page 1301. 1470 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 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, flows northward through Maryland into Pennsylvania, thence northwestward to empty into the Monongahela River at McKeesport, Pa. Its length is 123 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for southwestern Pennsylvania, western Maryland, and northern 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. Existing project.-This provides for the canalization of the river from the mouth to West Newton, Pa., 19.3 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.-Privatelymaintained terminals for unloading coal, sand, gravel, manufactured products, etc., ample for present re- quirements, exist at McKeesport, Pa. Operations and results during fscal year.-Dredging of approxi- mately 7,177 cubic yards of material from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa., a distance of approximately 1.3 miles, was accomplished by the U. S. derrick boat Monallo. The total costs during the fiscal year were $4,519.02, all for maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $2,668.46. Condition at end of fscal year.-The effect of pool No. 2, Mononga- hela River, on the dredged channel at the lower portion of the Youghio- gheny River, permits of occasional movement at low-water stage from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa., by vessels of approxi- mately 9 feet draft. No work has been done on the canalization proj- ect adopted by the 1930 River and Harbor Act. The total cost since the adoption of the existing project was $56,857.83, all for maintenance. The total expenditures under the existing project were $55,007.27. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance, amounting to $15,- 731.98, will be applied to hired-labor dredging of a 9-foot channel between the mouth and Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa. An additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943, to be applied to maintenance dredging of the 9-foot channel, mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa.

TYGART RIVER DAM, W. VA. Location.-The dam site is located on the Tygart River in Taylor County, W. Va., about 22.7 miles above the mouth of the river at Fairmont, W. Va. It is 2.25 miles upstream from Grafton, W. Va., and about 78 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located in Taylor and Barbour Counties, W. Va. (See U. S. Geological Sur- vey charts for Fairmont, Thornton and Belington, W. Va.) Existing project.-The construction of a concrete gravity 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 is 1,880 feet in length at the top and rises 207 feet above the river bed at the uncontrolled center spillway section, which is flanked by abutment sections 23 feet higher. The structure provides for the gross controlled storage of 290,000 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 1,183 square miles. Approximately 279,000 acre-feet of this controlled storage are ayailable for flood prevention in the Monongahela and Ohio Valleys, while the remaining 11,000 acre-feet are conservation storage. Low water control is also pro- 1472 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 vided by storing 100,000 acre-feet during the spring months for release during low rainfall periods to make up the deficiency of water in the Monongahela River. Two penstocks are contained in the dam for possible future generation of hydroelectric power. The estimated cost of new work, revised in -1940, is $18,500,000, with $45,000 for annual maintenance and operation. Operations and results during fiscal yea--New workl.-Approxi- mately 699 square yards of service road was surfaced, 5,256 square yards of existing parking area and existing service road were resur- faced, and 68 linear feet of guard rail was erected under contract. Maintenance (operating and care).-The structure was maintained and operated in a serviceable condition throughout the year. The total costs were $27,504.36, of which $8,937.80 was for new work and $18,566.56 was for maintenance (operating and care). The total expenditures were $27,298.51. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was 99.6 percent com- pleted. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to settle additional claims which may arise from time to time in con- nection with the purchase of land. The dam is now in operation as a unit of the reservoir system in the Allegheny and Monongahela River Basin for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally.

Location.-The dam site is located on Tionesta Creek, 1.2 miles above the junction of the creek with the Allegheny River at Tionesta, Pa., and about 77 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located entirely in Forest County, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Tionesta, Tidioute, and Sheffield, Pa.) 1476 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a flood-con- trol reservoir dam of the earth-fill type with separate uncontrolled saddle spillway and tunnel outlet works. The dam is 1,050 feet long at the top, rises 154 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross controlled storage of 133,600 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 483 square miles. Of this storage 125,600 acre-feet are allocated for flood prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The remaining 8,000 acre-feet are allocated for permanent storage. The reservoir will be operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1940, is $5,400,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Regular funds: Opera- tions on the dam were completed by contract with the removal of 701,543 cubic yards of common and rock excavation from the borrow areas. The embankment was completed with the placing of 564,943 cubic yards of rolled fill. Approximately 10,650 cubic yards of con- crete were placed in the various structures at the dam and 42,503 cubic yards of top soil were placed in the borrow areas. Approximately 1,680 acres of land were cleared by hired labor and the construction of a trash boom about 1,160 feet in length was completed by hired labor. The downstream face of the dam was planted with approximately 38,000 Japanese Honeysuckle plants under contract. The construction of two dam tenders' dwellings was commenced under contract. Detailed inventory appraisals and investigations necessary to con- summate purchase of land were materially advanced and are approxi- mately 58 percent completed. Maintenance (operating and care).-The completed dam was main- tained and operated in a serviceable condition. The total costs were $1,382,311.70, of which $1,376,952.26 was for new work and $5,359.44 was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,486,776.55. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is 83 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the completion of negotiations for the purchase of land, the clearing of the reservoir area, the construc- tion of two dam tenders' dwellings, and a public sanitary building.

JOHNSTOWN, PA., CHANNEL Location.-The city of Johnstown is located in southwestern Cam- bria County, Pa., approximately 58 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pa. It is situated in a deep and comparatively narrow valley at the junction of Stony Creeek and Little Conemaugh River, which unite to form the Conemaugh River. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for Johns- town, Pa.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for increas- ing the channel capacity by enlarging and realining the existing chan- nels and protecting the banks with concrete pavement. Miscellaneous features of work include relocation of railroad track, highway and RIVERS AND HARBORS--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1481 utilities, and alterations to sewers, drains, bridge piers and other structures. The improvement involves about 46,100 feet of channel as follows: The Conemaugh River for a distance of 19,200 feet extend- ing from the "Point" downstream to about 2,650 feet below the Penn- sylvania Railroad bridge at Dornick Point; the Little Conemaugh River for a distance of 7,500 feet from the "Point" upstream to about 150 feet below the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge in the vicinity of Fifth Street; and Stony Creek for a distance of 19,400, feet from the "Point" upstream to about 800 feet below the Ferndale Bridge in the vicinity of the Borough of Ferndale. The project is designed to reduce a flood similar to that in March 1936 by approximately 13.5 feet at the "Point" and will contain the flood within the improved channels with a negligible amount of overflow. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Acts approved June 22, 1936, and August 28, 1937. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1941, is $8,670,000, of which $7,493,000 is for construction and $1,177,000 for rights-of-way and damages. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Regular funds: Sur- veys, subsurface investigation, studies, and design were continued. Units Nos. 2 and 3 located in the Conemaugh River section, unit No. 4 located in the Little Conemaugh section, and unit No. 5 lo- cated in the Stony Creek section of the channel improvement were under construction. Work accomplished on the various units is as follows: Unit No. 1: The installation of approximately 2,381 linear feet of pipe handrailing on the left bank was completed under contract. Unit No. 2: Operations were completed by contract in November 1940 on this unit, which involves 7,000 feet of channel improvement immediately upstream from unit No. 1. Common and rock material, amounting to 193,794 cubic yards, was excavated from the channel. Approximately 10,325 cubic yards of special excavation were re- moved and 48,817 cubic yards of fill, 8,844 cubic yards of gravel backing, 19,961 cubic yards of concrete paving and 1,318,958 pounds of reinforcement steel were placed in connection with the bank pro- tection work. Unit No. 3: Operations were continued by contract on this unit, which involves 8,600 feet of channel improvement from the upper end 'of unit No. 2 to the "Point." Common and rock material, amounting to 481,238 cubic yards, was excavated from the chan- nel. In connection with the bank protection, the contractor removed 25,802 cubic yards of special excavation and placed 20,037 cubic yards of fill, 11,928 cubic yards of gravel backing, 26,483 cubic yards of concrete paving, 1,610,708 pounds of reinforcement steel and 758 linear feet of pipe railing. Unit No. 4: Operations were commenced by contract during July 1940 on this unit, which involves 7,300 feet of channel improvement on the Little Conemaugh River in the city of Johnstown, Pa.

MAHONING CREEK RESERVOIR, PA. Location.-The dam site is located on Mahoning Creek in Armstrong County, Pa., 21.6 miles above the junction of the creek with the Alle- gheny River. It is about 61/2 miles southeast of New Bethlehem, Pa., and about 50 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located in Armstrong, Indiana, and Jefferson Counties, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Rural Valley and Smicksburg, Pa.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a flood- control reservoir dam of the concrete gravity type with a gate con- trolled center spillway flanked by abutment sections joining the valley sides. The dam is 993 feet long at the top, rises 160 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross controlled storage of 74,000 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 341 square miles. Of this storage 69,500 acre-feet are allocated for flood prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The remaining 4,500 acre-feet are allocated for permanent storage. Two penstocks are contained in the structure for possible future generation of hydro- electric power. The reservoir will be operated as a unit of a coordi- nated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1938, is $6,500,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during flscal year.-Regular funds:- Opera- tions on the construction of the dam were completed by contract with the removal of approximately 24,600 cubic yards of common and 20,408 cubic yards of rock from the coffer areas and the abutments. Rein- forcement steel totaling 475,780 pounds and 150,474 cubic yards of concrete were placed in the structure during the year. A trash boom approximately 960 feet long was completed by hired labor. Grouting operations, being prosecuted by hired labor, are about completed. Clearing operations in the reservoir area were materially advanced, 1,421 acres being cleared by hired labor. Negotiations for the purchase of land were carried on by hired labor and are now approximately 78 percent completed. Maintenance (operating and care).-The completed dam was main- tained and operated in a serviceable condition. The total costs were $2,526,688.85, of which $2,526,510.27 was for new work and $178.58 was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,832,022.21. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was 83 percent com- plete.

At each end the wall will extend back to the Pennsyl- vania Railroad and sandbag closures will be provided to high ground landward of the tracks. Other features of work include approxi- mately 8,700 lineal feet of river-bank protection for the wall, six pump- ing stations for the disposal of interior drainage during flood periods, six temporary closure structures for the wall at street and railroad crossings, and appurtenant drainage structures. The project will pro- vide protection with a minimum freeboard of 3 feet for the city of Martins Ferry against a flood stage equivalent to that of March 1936, the maximum of record. The project has been selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved'June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work is $3,459,100 for construction, and $335,200 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. Local interests have stated their willingness to provide the required cooperation. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preliminary studies, surveys, plans, and investigations were completed during the year. The cost, all for new work, was $4,959.99. The expenditures were $5,117.38. RIVERS AND HARBORS--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1499 Condition at end of fiscal year.-Preliminary studies were com- pleted in April.

KITTANNING, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. Location.-The borough of Kittanning is located in Armstrong County, Pa., on the left bank of the Allegheny River, 45.5 miles above the mouth of the river at Pittsburgh, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for Kittanning, Pa.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of approximately 4,220 feet of concrete flood wall extending along the bank of the river from the abutment of dam No. 7 upstream to Ewing Street; bank protection consisting of rock revetment for a distance of 500 feet upstream from the abutment, then 1,829 feet of gravel revetment to tie in with existing loose gravel embankment; and miscellaneous sewer and street alterations. The project provides pro- tection for the borough of Kittanning at and above the abutment of dam No. 7, Allegheny River, against overflow and the scouring velocity effect of water flowing over the bank above the dam and returning to the channel below, from the maximum flood of reasonable expectancy as modified by the effect above Kittanning, Pa., of the authorized reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally. The flood zone behind the wall remains subject to 1500 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 inundation by backwater from below the dam. The project has been selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1939, is $164,000 for con- struction and $2,000 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The contractor coin- pleted operations on the construction of the flood wall and bank re- vetment with the excavation of 12,102 cubic yards of material and the placing of 3,552 cubic yards of concrete in the flood wall. Ap- proximately 190,500 pounds of reinforcing steel were used in connec- tion with the concreting operations. The cost, all for new work, was $85,689.09. The expenditures were $88,714.80. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The contract for the construction of the flood wall and bank revefment was completed in November. The project was completed and turned over to local interests for maintenance on November 5, 1940. The total cost and expenditures, all for new. work, were $100,045.76. Proposed operations.-None, since the project has been completed. The balance unexpended on June 30, 1941, $8,954.24, is available for revocation.

GRAND MARAIS HARBOR, MINN. Location.-The harbor is situated on the north shore of Lake Su- perior, 106 miles northeast from Duluth, Minn. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 9.) Existing project.-This provides for rock-filled timber crib break- water piers 350 feet in length from the east and west points of the bay to narrow the entrance; for constructing concrete sea walls across the ledge at the southeast corner of the harbor; and for dredging an anchorage area of 36.5 acres to a depth of 16 feet with depths near the entrance of 18 and 20 feet. All depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary variation of water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $209,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $6,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS--DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1507 Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1879 Breakwaters and dredging of anchorage area of 26 HI Ex.

(contains deepening of entrance. latest published map). Local cooperation.--Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are two general merchandise wharves, one oil wharf, and several fish wharves, all privately owned. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results d ring fiscal year.-No work was done or funds expended. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. Project depth of 16 feet is available in the anchorage basin dredged by the United States and by private parties under permit. Under permits to private parties, 420,795 cubic yards have been dredged since 1922 without cost to the United States. No private dredging was done during the fiscal year. Project depths of 18 and 20 feet are available in the entrance channel. The concrete sea walls are in excellent condition. The break- waters are in good condition. The gravel spit along the eastern side of the harbor is too low to prevent waves from rolling into the harbor during severe storm periods. The total costs of the existing project at the end of the fiscal year were $209,819.91 for new work and $123,861.60 for maintenance, a total of $333,681.51. The total -expenditures were $333,681.51. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, $5,000, will be applied to maintenance repairs to the breakwaters by hired labor during July and August 1941. No additional work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1943; therefore no funds can be profitably expended.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of June 2, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide for widening the authorized 400-foot channel, along the water front in the westerly part of the harbor, so as to afford a channel 400 feet wide at its easterly end gradually flared to a width of 750 feet at its westerly end, all to a depth of 21 feet, at an estimated first cost of $24,000, with no increase in the previously estimated cost of maintenance; subject to certain condi- tions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 337, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-The city of Ashland owns 4,150 feet of water front, exclusive of street ends, for future public needs. The wharves for handling coal, ore, and pulpwood are served by railroads. The facilities are considered adequate for existing com- merce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging was done in the west channel during July and August 1940 by Gov- ernment plant and hired labor, and a total of 33,585 cubic yards of material was removed. The total costs and expenditures were $15,000, all for maintenance dredging. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935. The breakwater is in good condition, except for some settlement,I causing low places which should be brought up to the prescribed elevations. Project depths are available in the west chan- nel and east basin, as shown by surveys completed in January 1941. The total cost was $1,200,120.09, of which $732,375.49 was for new work and $467,744.60 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $1,201,806.17. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, $11,000, will be applied to maintenance repairs to the breakwater by hired labor during the fall of 1941.

ONTONAGON HARBOR, MICH. Location.-The harbor is situated on the south shore of Lake Supe- rior. It consists of the improvement of the mouth of Ontonagon River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 95.) Previous project.--Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867. For further details see page 1931 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1406 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a flared lake approach channel 17 feet deep with widths narrowing from 400 feet at the outer end to 150 feet opposite the outer end of the west pier; a channel between the piers 150 feet wide, 17 feet deep in the outer 250 feet, and 15 feet deep in the inner 2,200 feet; an inner basin 15 feet deep and 900 feet long, extending between lines 50 feet from the existing wharves on each side of the river, the maximum width being 285 feet; and for main- tenance of this channel, basin, and the 4,990 feet of entrance piers. 1514 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is taken at 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary variation of water level extends from 0 to + 1 foot above low-water datum. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, was $19,500, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $13,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 Channel 17 feet deep and 150 feet wide through H. Doc.

KEWEENAW WATERWAY, MICH. Location.-This waterway is a navigable channel, minimum width 120 feet, 25 miles long, partly natural and partly artificial, across Keweenaw Point, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 944.) Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) A waterway across Keweenaw Peninsula via Portage Lake, 25 feet deep and 300 feet wide, increased to 400 feet through Portage Lake below the shoal at its head and with a straight cut-off channel from Princess Point to Messners Point. (b) Flaring eastern entrance from Keweenaw Bay, 28 feet deep in the outer portion, diminishing to 25 feet in the inner portion, protected by a breakwater 5,714 feet long. (c) A mooring basin inside the east entrance, one-half mile long, 800 feet wide, and 25 feet deep, with mooring piers protected by fender piling. 1516 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 (d) Converging breakwaters at the western entrance, with westerly breakwater 2,645 feet long and easterly breakwater 2,485 feet, having an entrance 500 feet wide between the breakwaters. (e) A western entrance channel 32 feet deep lakeward of the en- trance between the breakwaters, diminishing to 25 feet in quiet water and enlarged inside of the breakwaters into a maneuvering basin 1,000 feet in maximum width and 3,000 feet long. (f) A mooring basin inside the west entrance 3,600 feet long and 800 feet wide and 25 feet deep, with mooring piers protected by fender piling. (g) Revetting the banks as necessary. (h) Pierheads 400 feet long at the west entrance to the canal. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1940, is $6,690,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $60,000. On account of its length, the waterway is affected in a very slight degree by lake fluctuations of short duration. The annual fluctuation is about 1 foot. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Sept. 19, 1890 Acquisition of the waterway; for a 16-foot channel H. Ex. Doc.

Term'inal facilities.-The six coal docks, three general merchandise wharves and several minor wharves, all privately owned, are served by improvements made along Keweenaw Waterway. The city of Hancock has two publicly owned wharves. The village of Houghton has wharf improvements at the ends of three streets. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-Under regular funds with United States plant and hired labor, the following work was performed: 102,197 cubic yards of material dredged in the RIVERS AND HARBOR&---DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1517 upper canal, upper entry stilling basin, Lily Pond, and Portage Lake; 4,422 tons of stone placed on the east and west breakwaters at the upper entrance; stabilization repairs to 1,053 linear feet of mooring pier at the Lily Pond was completed. New work.-Under regular funds- 873,910 cubic yards of material was dredged by contract in deepening, widening, and straightening the channel in Portage River, Portage River Harbor of Refuge, and the entrance from Keweenaw Bay. A total of 5,357.5 linear feet of steel-sheet pile revetment was constructed by contract along the chan- nel in the upper entrance stilling basin and upper canal. The costs of the various items of new work done during the year were as follows: $140,855.32 for dredging, $257,474.39 for revetment construction; and $4,726.96 for preliminary examinations and surveys; a total of $403,056.67, all for new work. The costs of the various items of maintenance work done during the year were as follows: $33,015.55 for dredging by Government plant and hired labor; $34,428.12 for breakwater repairs; $143,580.09 for stabilization repairs to the Lily Pond mooring pier; and $9,823.53 for inspections, preliminary examinations, surveys, and waterway patrol, a total of $220,847.29, all for maintenance. The total costs were $623,903.96, and the total expenditures were $517,996.61. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was 77 percent completed. The breakwaters are in good condition except for a weak- ness occurring in about 300 feet of the substructure of the breakwater at the lower entrance, and the stone-covered portions of the breakwaters at the upper entrance are in need of minor repairs. The remaining timber revetments along the waterway are in poor condition. The mooring pier at the Lily Pond requires repairs to halt movement, and that at the Portage River harbor of refuge is in good condition. Annual redredging of channels will be required indefinitely. The con- trolling depth on June 30, 1941, was 25 feet. To complete the project there remains the extension of the lower entrance breakwater, and the necessary alteration or replacement of structures due to deepening of channels. For work performed with regular funds, the costs of the existing project were $4,982,826.14 for new work and $2,257,000.14 for mainte- nance, a total of $7,239,826.28. The total expenditures were $7,246,434.01. For work performed with Emergency Relief funds the total costs and expenditures were $182,825.77, all for new work. The total cost, all funds, was $7,422,652.05, of which $5,165,651.91 was for new work and $2,257,000.14 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $7,429,259.78. In addition, the sum of $402,241.74 was expended between 1893 and 1917 on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, $1,494,287.94, including accounts receivable at end of fiscal year, will be applied as follows: 1518 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Terminal facilities.-These consist of one ore dock, one coal dock, and three old wharves seldom used. There are also several small fish wharves without railroad connec- tions. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairs were made to the rubble-mound breakwater consisting of placing 682 tons of stone by Government plant and hired labor. The costs were $4,698.78, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $3,896.54. 1522 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935. The concrete-covered breakwater was completed in the fiscal year 1905, the rubble-mound portion of the breakwater in 1922, and the dredging in 1935. The rubble-mound portion of the breakwater is in good condition, but patching and resurfacing are necessary on a portion of the concrete-capped breakwater. The con- trolling depth in the harbor is 25 feet. The costs were $1,117,311.56 for new work and $325,141.56 for mainte- nance, a total of $1,442,453.12, including $72,188.05 Public Works funds for new work. The expenditures were $1,442,453.12.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1523 8. GRAND MARAIS, HARBOR OF REFUGE, MICH. Location.-The harbor is situated on the south shore of Lake Su- perior, 314 miles east of Duluth, Minn., and 93 miles west of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 9.) Existing project.-This provides for parallel timber-crib piers 500 feet apart-aggregate length 3,450 feet--extending out to a depth in the lake of 22 feet at ordinary low water; for closing the natural en- trance by a pile dike 5,770 feet long; and for dredging a channel 300 feet wide and 18 feet deep between the piers, and 500 feet wide and 20 feet deep at the lake approach. The project depth is referred to low- water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary variation of water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1894, is $484,000. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual maintenance is $15,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 14,1880 Existing project, except for pile dike--- Specifi Report, 1881, p.) 2050. Annual ...- ----- For pile dike-- --------------------------- Annual Report, 1895, p. 351. For latest published map, see H. Doc. No. 1286, 64th Cong., 1st sess. Terminal facilities.-There is no rail connection with the harbor. There are one general merchandise wharf and several small fish wharves. The facilities are considered adequate for present needs. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No work was done or funds expended. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 85 percent completed. Parallel piers were built 500 feet apart, 1,912 and 1,545 feet long, respectively, and a pile revetment 100 feet long at the inner end of each pier; a channel 250 feet wide and 18 feet deep was dredged between the piers from the lake to the bay; and a pile dike was built in 1895-97 to close the natural entrance 5,770 feet in width. The piers are in fair condition, except for need of scattered repairs. The timber portion of the pile dike is in poor condition and the stone protection has settled. The controlling depth in the channel is 13.5 feet, as shown by a survey of May 1941. To complete the project there remains to construct 193 linear feet of crib piers and dredging to widen the inner portion of the channel, now 250 feet wide, to the project width of 300 feet. This work is not considered necessary to meet present require- ments of navigation. The costs were $355,885.29 for new work and $416,451.76 for main- tenance, a total of $772,337.05. The total expenditures were $772,- 337.05. Proposedoperations.-Thebalance unexpended June 30,1941, $9,000, will be applied to maintenance repairs to the piers by hired labor dur- ing August and September 1941. No work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1943; therefore no funds can be profitably expended. 1524 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

WARROAD HARBOR AND RIVER, MINN. Location.-Warroad Harbor and River are at the southwestern extremity of Lake of the Woods, 36 miles west of the mouth of Rainy River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 84, Lake of the Woods.) Existing project.--This provides for dredging and maintaining a channel 8 feet deep from the landing at Warroad to deep water in the lake, the channel being 9,200 feet long, 200 feet wide within the har- bor, and 300 feet wide out in the lake; for a turning basin 500 by 900 feet to a depth of 8 feet; and for a pile-brush-stone jetty on the north side of the channel extending from the shore 700 feet into the lake. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake of the Woods, which is 1,056 feet above mean tide at New York. This depth corresponds to a depth of 10 feet on Lake Survey Chart No. 842 of this locality. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1928, is $118,000. The latest (1928) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 Dredging bar at mouth of Warroad River..----- Specified in act.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1525 The latest published map is opposite page 1984 in the Annual Report for 1911. Recommended modifications, of project.-Under date of June 24, 1926, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the project be cur- tailed by reducing the channel width to 100 feet and the turning basin to 250 feet (H. Doc. No. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Ierminal facilities.-A pile-and-plank wharf 80 feet in length has been provided by the village of Warroad for free use by the public. Two commercial companies' fish wharves 60 feet in length are not open to the public, one of which is served by a spur track. There are also a number of minor wharves. These facilities are ample for the needs of existing commerce. Operations and results dbring fiscal year.-Preliminary work in connection with maintenance dredging was done at a cost of $1,752.81. The total expenditures during the year were $2,015.27. Condition at end of scal year.-The project as a whole is 76 per- cent completed. The protective jetty was completed in 1910 and reconstructed as a rubble mound in 1929. It is in good condition. The turning basin at the Warroad wharves was completed in 1911, and a chanenl 200 feet wide and 8 feet deep was completed in 1915. The controlling depth in the channel in May 1941 was 6 feet below low-water datum which is 1,056 feet above mean tide level at New York, for a least width of 100 feet. Annual maintenance is neces- sary. The shore revetment is in need of minor repairs. The work to be done to complete that part of the existing project outside of the present used dredging lines consists of widening the lake channel from 200 to 300 feet for a distance of 7,460 feet. This has not been done, as the additional width is not necessary to meet present requirements. The total costs of the existing project at the end of the fiscal year were $83,805.36 for new work and $253,640.09 for maintenance, a total of $337,445.45. The total expenditures were $386,265.66. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, $18,835.45, will be applied to maintenance dredging with U. S. pipe- line dredge Traverse during May and June 1942. The additional sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 for maintenance dredging with U. S. pipe line dredge Traverse during May and June 1943.

Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details see page 1933 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1422 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for two breakwaters extending from the shore on either side of the mouth of the Manistique River, 1,744 and 1,480 feet in length for the east and west breakwaters, respec- tively, and for a channel 18 feet deep except where rock is encountered at less depth. This channel extends from that depth in the lake up the river a distance of 1,650 feet from its mouth, having a total length of 3,200 feet from the outer end in the lake and varies in width from 180 to 475 feet, the west side at the river mouth being protected by a pier 375 feet long. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled piling and timber cribs, capped with concrete superstructure; the west pier is formed of stone-filled plank cribs. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1531 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1908, was $338,462, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1917) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1905 Breakwaters and outer harbor -_____ -- I Doc. No. 429, 58th Cong., 2d sess. H.

The latest published map is in Annual Report, 1908, p. 1942. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip there are two coal and building material wharves, two fishing wharves, and numerous lum- beryard slips. While these facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, it is believed that a wharf, with rail connection and under public control, should be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 5,788 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $5,304.13. Placing 1,967 tons of stone as riprap along the west breakwater cost $4,038.04. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $9,342.17 for mainte- nance. The total net expenditures were $9,340.66. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1917. The breakwaters enclosing the basin and the dredging of the channel to 18 feet over practically all the area below the car-ferry slip were completed in 1915. The channel above the slip was dredged to ledge rock in 1917, thereby completing the project. The plank crib pier was completed in 1909. The breakwaters are in generally good condition. The superstructure of the plank crib pier is in a very dilapidated condition, but immediate repairs thereto are not con- sidered necessary, as it is not essential to the preservation of the harbor. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 17.2 feet in the channel through the outer basin to the river mouth, thence 17.5 feet in river to about 350 feet above the car-ferry slip, decreasing to about 15.6 feet over a width of about 50 feet along the west revetment to the coal wharf. The costs under the existing project were $307,252.18 for new work and $117,714.71 for maintenance, a total of $424,966.89. The total expenditures were $425,182.69.

MENOMINEE HARBOR AND RIVER, MICH. AND WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Green Bay, distant about 49 miles northeasterly from Green Bay Harbor, and about 155 miles from Milwaukee via Sturgeon Bay Canal. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 723.) Previous projects.-Priorto 1902 the harbor and river constituted two works. Harbor: River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1871, September 19, 1890, and March 3, 1899. RIVERS AND HARBORS---MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1533 River: River and Harbor Acts of September 19, 1890, July 13, 1892, and June 3, 1896. For further details see page 1933 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1424 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the river by parallel piers 400 feet apart and about 1,870, and 2,681 feet in length for the north and south piers, respectively, and for a channel 21 feet deep from that depth in the bay to the upper end of the Marinette municipal wharf, about 4,700 feet above the Ogden Street Bridge, and 10,700 feet from the outer end in the bay where the width is 600 feet, reducing to 300 feet between the piers and up to Ogden Street Bridge, thence 200 feet in the river to the upper end of the channel, with an enlarged turning basin 21 feet deep on south side of the channel just below the municipal wharf. Except for 168 feet of concrete caissons at outer end of south pier, the piers are formed of stone-filled piling and timber cribs, the entire north pier and 1,276 feet of the south pier having been repaired with concrete superstruc- ture and 801 feet of the south pier repaired with rubble superstructure. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressures, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $163,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of February 24, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to provide for extension of the channel at a depth of 12 feet and width generally 90 feet for a distance of 2,500 feet to the vicinity of the Marinette Yacht Club, at no increase in the cost of the project (H. Doc. No. 228, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip, there are numerous wharves for handling coal, building materials, and miscellaneous 1534 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 commodities. The city of Marinette has provided a public wharf. The facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, except that there is need for a public wharf owned by the city of Menominee with warehouse and railway connection. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 28,500 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $5,746.01. Placing 1,946 tons of stone as riprap and filling of piers cost $9,850.21. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $15,596.22 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $15,885.45. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1938. The entrance piers were completed in 1884 and are in good condition. The dredging of the channel below the Marinette municipal wharf and enlarging the turning basin was completed in 1938. The inner 654 feet of the north pier and 604 feet of the south pier are no longer essential for the preservation of the channel, and these piers are therefore maintained only for lengths of about 1,216 and 2,077 feet, respectively. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 21 feet in the channel to the Marinette municipal wharf and in the turning basin, except in the southerly 75 feet of the basin, where it shoals to about 13 feet. The channel above the municipal wharf has depths of 12 feet or more for a distance of 2,500 feet to the vicinity of the Marinette Yacht Club. The river is available for rafting and logging for about 102 miles above its mouth. The costs under the existing project were $149,504.49 for new work and $329,- 148.18 for maintenance, a total of $478,652.67. The total expenditures were $479,270.55. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U.

BIG SUAMICO RIVER, WIS. Location.-This is a small stream which flows in an easterly direc- tion into Green Bay, an arm of Lake Michigan. The mouth of the river is about 8 miles north of Green Bay Harbor, and about 44 miles southwesterly from Menominee Harbor, 'Mich. and Wis. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 725.) Existing project.-Thisprovides for an entrance channel 8 feet deep at low-water datum from that depth in Green Bay to a point 1,800 feet above the river mouth, with widths of 100 feet in the bay and 60 feet in the river, the total length of channel being about 3,700 feet. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Mich- igan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 3 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, was $20,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (FI. Doc. No. 498, 74th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Terminal facilites.-These consist of small private wharves, located along the lower 11/2 miles of the river, used by the local fishing interests. Ample space is available for additional fishing wharves whenever they are required. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce.

GREEN BAY HARBOR, WIS. Location.-Located at the mouth of the Fox River, at the head of Green Bay, distant about 180 miles from Milwaukee, Wis., via Stur- geon Bay Canal, and about 49 miles southwesterly from Menominee Harbor, Mich. and Wis. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 725.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 23, 1866. This project was modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1874; July 13, 1892; and June 3, 1896. For further details see page 1934 of Annual Report of 1915 and page 1431, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an outer channel in Green Bay about 10 miles long and 22 feet deep, from that depth in the bay to the mouth of Fox River, varying in width from 500 feet at the outer end to 300 feet at the river mouth, including widening of the bend out- side of Tail Point Light; for protecting the portion through, Grassy 1540 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Island, about 700 feet long, on the east side by a timber revetment capped with concrete superstructure; for straightening the channel from the inner end of Grassy Island to the river mouth; for widening the channel in Fox River through the city of Green Bay by the re- moval of shoals at the mouth of East River and between the two upper railroad bridges to a depth of 22 feet; for a turning basin 20 feet deep above the Chicago & North Western Railway bridge near the southern limits of the city of Green Bay; for an inner channel in the river 150 feet wide and 18 feet deep extending upstream about 31/2 miles from the turning basin to De Pere, terminating in another turning basin 18 feet deep and with sufficient area to accommodate 500-foot vessels. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Mich- igan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctu- ations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 21/2 feet above or below the mean level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work for the entire project, revised in 1937, was $1,684,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects but including $70,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance for the entire project is $28,500.

Recommended modiflcations of project.-Under date of July' 8, 1938, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide a turning basin 22 feet deep at the mouth of East River, at an estimated cost of $86,000 for initial dredging with maintenance estimated at $1,500 annually in addition to the amounts now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooper- ation and that local interests contribute $30,000 toward the cost of the improvement (H. Doc. No. 95, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.--Fully complied with. RIVERS AND HARBORS -MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1541 Terminal facilities.-There are numerous wharves for the handling of coal, petroleum products, grain, pulpwood, wood pulp, sulfur, cement, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities located on this waterway. Green Bay has provided a municipal wharf open to the public. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 152,000 cubic yards of material for restoration of ,proj- ect depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $29,566.95 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $26,896. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1938. Deepening and widening the outer channel was com- pleted in 1936. The channel in Fox River through the city of Green Bay was completed in 1935. The turning basin above the Chicago & North Western Railway bridge was completed in 1938. The inner channel and turning basin was completed in 1926. The east revet- ment at Grassy Island, built in 1869, is in good condition. The west revetment was removed in 1935. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 22 feet in the outer channel and in the channel through city of Green Bay, 20 feet in turning basin above railway bridge, and 18 feet in the inner channel, includ- ing the turning basin at De Pere. The head of deep-water naviga- tion is at De Pere.

O An 1546 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Recommended modifications of project.-Legislation authorizing the abandonment of that part of the improvement of Wolf River above Fremont and the upper Fox River from the mouth of the Wolf to the Wisconsin River has been recommended in House Document No. 146, Sixty-seventh Congress, second session. Terminal facilities.-The wharf and landing facilities are in gen- eral adequate for the accommodation of existing commerce. Operatio~s and results during fiscal year--Maintenance.-Opera- tions consisted of dredging 15,015 cubic yards of ledge rock, loose stone, and other materials for restoration of project depth at the following localities: Below Kaukauna fifth lock, between Kaukauna third and fourth locks, between Kaukauna second and third locks, below Little Chute combined locks, below Cedars lock, and between Appleton second and third locks, at a cost of $10,968.13, which in- cludes the cost of constructing 445 linear feet of stone masonry wall along left canal bank between Kaukauna third and fourth locks. Stone paving and other miscellaneous repairs to canal banks at the following localities: Left bank below De Pere Dam, right bank below Kaukauna fifth lock, both banks above Kaukauna fifth lock, left bank between Kaukauna third and fourth locks, right bank below Little Chute second lock, both banks above Cedars lock, left bank above Appleton fourth lock, both banks below Appleton third lock,. right bank below Appleton second lock, above left end of Appleton first lock, levee above Montello lock, and upper right bank above Portage lock, cost $7,144.33. The removal of old stone masonry and concrete dam and construction of a new concrete dam at Appleton (upper), by contract, which was in progress at the close of the previ- ous fiscal year, was completed at a cost of $107,771. All work, ex- cept the construction of Appleton upper dam, was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost of maintenance was $155,883.46. Operating and care.-Operationsconsisted of making necessary re- pairs to locks, dams, canal banks, and lock houses, including building new upper and lower lock gates with new steel valves and frames at Cedars lock; building new middle lock gates at Little Chute combined locks; installing two taintor gates in two sluiceways at Menasha Dam; and building new upper and lower lock gates at Governor Bend lock, at a cost of $50,372.61. The locks and dams were operated in accord- ance with the existing project, and gages were read at a cost of $77,795.03. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost of operating and care was $128,167.64. The total cost of all work was $284,051.10. The total net expenditures were $302,185.88. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 44 percent completed (upper river, 25 percent; lower, 83 percent). Twenty-two original locks and nine original dams have been rebuilt; five additional locks and dams have been built by the United States. (See existing project for year of completion of each.) The structures and the dredging in pools have increased the original depths generally about 2 feet. The controlling depths at mean low water at the close of the fiscal year were as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORSr-MILWAUJKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1547 Fox River: Feet De Pere to 2 miles above mouth of Wolf River------- -------------. 0 2 miles above mouth of Wolf River to Eureka lock----------------- 4. 5 _ Eureka lock to Montello lock__--------------- ------------------- 3.

The head of navigation for boat traffic is New London on the Wolf River and Portage on the upper Fox, except that during high water on the Wisconsin River boats can proceed from Portage to the Mississippi River. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is dredging in the upper Fox River and the upper portion of the Wolf River; also rock removal and deepening Neenah Channel on lower Fox River. Deepening Neenah Channel is no longer desired by navigation interests. The remaining rock removal is not needed unless there is a material increase in commerce. Additional dredging on the upper river is no longer considered necessary and is not justifiable from an economic standpoint. The costs under the existing project were $871,- 724.01 for new work and $3,082,063.82 for maintenance including $674,571.91 for operating and care, a total of $3,953,787.83. The total expenditures were $3,952,593.92. In addition, the sum of $3,795,495.53 (including $89,309.40 under previous projects) was expended between July 5, 1884, and June 30, 1935, on the operating and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

RIVERS AND HIARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1549 8. HARBORS AT WASHINGTON ISLAND, WIS. Location.- In the entrance to Green Bay, a westerly arm of Lake Michigan, distant about 4 miles northeasterly from the north end of the peninsula which separates Green Bay from Lake Michigan and about 30 miles southeasterly from Escanaba, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 702.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel at Detroit Harbor, located on the south side of Washington Island, 150 feet wide and 14 feet deep at low-water datum from that depth in Green Bay to a turning basin of the same depth, 400 feet long and 150 to 300 feet wide, near the inner end of Detroit Island, a distance of about 3,700 feet; and for an entrance channel at Jackson Harbor, located on the north side of Washington Island, 150 feet wide and 12 feet deep at low-water datum through the entrance bar, a distance of about 500 feet. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Mich- igan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluc- tuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, is $67,500 ($60,000 for Detroit Harbor and $7,500 for Jackson Harbor). The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,300 ($1,500 for Detroit Harbor and $800 for Jackson Harbor). The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 90, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Terminal facilities.-At Detroit Harbor there is a ferry dock, sev- eral fishing wharves, and a marine railway. At Jackson Harbor there are several fishing wharves and a landing for small craft. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of taking soundings at Detroit and Jackson Harbors, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $333.87 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $3,180.24. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 92 percent completed. The work remaining to be done is the removal of rock from Jackson Harbor to provide project depth of 12 feet, which work is not considered necessary under present conditions. The con- trolling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 14 feet in the entrance channel and turning basin at Detroit Harbor and 8 feet over a width of 90 feet on the westerly side of entrance channel at Jackson Harbor, thence decreasing to a depth of 3.5 feet along the easterly edge. The costs under the existing project were $62 838.06 for new work and $333.87 for maintenance, a total of $63,- 171.93. The total expenditures were $63,137.28. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $5,362.72, will be applied to maintenance operations during the fiscal year, and to pay- ment of $34.65 accounts payable on June 30, 1941.

STURGEON BAY AND LAKE MICHIGAN SHIP CANAL, WIS. Location.-This improvement is on the west shore of Lake Michi- gan, distant about 52 miles northeasterly from Green Bay and about 128 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 728.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873, and June 14, 1880. The United States assumed possession of the canal April 25, 1893, as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892. The original project for the canal was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894, modified by River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896. For further details see page 1935 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1441 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an outer harbor or stilling bas'n protected by two converging breakwaters, each 1,344 feet in length, extending from the shore on either side of the easterly or Lake Michigan end of the canal; for a revetted canal 7,200 feet in length, varying in width from 160 to 250 feet; for a channel 23 feet deep in rock cut, extending from that depth in Lake Michigan to about 800 feet west of the east entrance of the revetted canal, a length of about 0.6 mile; thence a channel 22 feet deep through an additional 6,400 feet of revetted canal and through Sturgeon Bay to the v:cinity of Sherwood Point, a length of about 8 miles, the total length of channel being about 8.6 miles; the width of channel being 600 feet in Lake Michigan, reducing to 200 feet through the harbor and 130 to 220 feet through the revetted canal, thence 250 feet through Sturgeon Bay to a point 5,400 feet northwest of the railroad bridge in the city of RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1551 Sturgeon Bay and thence 500 feet to the vic'nity of Sherwood Point, and that the turning basin immediately west of the revetted canal be eliminated from the project. The breakwaters are formed of stone- filled piling and timber cribs and have been provided with concrete superstructures; the revetments are formed of piling and timber, 914 feet having been repaired with concrete superstructure. The proJect depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctu- ations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level preva'ling at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1940, is $935,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1939) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $45,000.

Terminal facilities.-As the canal and connecting channel is a through waterway, the only terminal facilities are in the city of Stur- geon Bay, 4 miles from the west end of the revetted portion of the canal. These facilities consist of four coal wharves, three shipbuild- ing yards, and one package-freight wharf. The city of Sturgeon Bay has provided a public wharf. There is also a large stone wharf lo- cated about 5 miles northwesterly from the city of Sturgeon Bay. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Operations consisted of completing, by contract, the dredging to provide project depth of 23 feet in rock cut at the easterly entrance to the revetted canal which was in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year. A total of 16,435 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $3,866.83. Dredging, to provide project depth of 22 feet in the west- erly section of the channel through Sturgeon Bay, which was in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, was completed by contract. A total of 545,312 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $164,313.46. Maintenanci.-Dredging110,390 cubic. yards of material from the channel through the revetted canal cost $38,609.54. Repairs to north revetment, including reinforcing and rebuilding of substructure where necessary, and backfilling, cost $43,858.94. All maintenance work was 1552 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $250,648.77, of which $168,180.29 was for new work and $82,468.48 was for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $356,847.46. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 63 percent completed. The harbor entrance piers were completed in 1880, and the canal revetments in 1903. Dredging and rock removal at the easterly entrance to the canal and dredging the channel in the westerly section of the channel through Sturgeon Bay was completed in 1940. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is deepening and widening the easterly section of the channel through Sturgeon Bay. Pile revetments require repairs and back-filling. The superstruc- ture on about 260 feet of south plank crib revetment is in poor condi- tion. The entrance piers are in good condition. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 19 feet. The costs under the existing project were $587,140.22 for new work and $853,615.49 for maintenance, a total of $1,440,755.71. The total expenditures were $1,442,789.42. In addition, the sum of $425,259.17 (including $189,319.35 under previous projects) was ex- pended between April 25, 1893, and June 30, 1917, on the operating and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

ALGOMA HARBOR, WIS. Location.--Algoma Harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 68 miles from Green Bay via Sturgeon Bay Canal and about 115 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 703.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873; March 3, 1875; July 5, 1884; and March 3, 1899. For further details see page 1935 of Annual Report of 1915 and page 1445, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an outer harbor 14 feet deep enclosed by a north pier, 1,102 feet long, extending approximately normal to the shore, and a south breakwater, 1,530 feet long, extend- ing from the shore at a point about 1,000 feet south of the remaining 481 feet of the pier on the south side of the channel at the mouth of Ahnapee River, and for a channel of same depth as outer harbor, except where rock is encountered at less depth, extending from that 1554 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 depth in the lake up the river a distance of 1,000 feet from its mouth, a total length of about 2,100 feet; this channel varies in width from 175 to 80 feet at Second Street Bridge. The piers are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling and the breakwater of stone- filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling. The north pier and south breakwater have been provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1907, was $140,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previousprojects. The latest (1917) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,500.

The facilities are considered adequate for existing com- merce. Operations and results during fiseal year.--Operations consisted of dredging 13,620 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $3,841.15 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $3,742.01. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed ,in 1909. The north pier was completed in 1890, the south pier and breakwater and dredging in 1909. The north pier and south break- water are in good condition. The superstructure of the south stub pier at the river mouth is in a dilapidated condition, but immediate repairs thereto are not considered necessary. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 16.7 feet in the entrance channel to the outer end of south stub pier, decreasing to 12 feet to the coal wharf at the inner end of the north pier, thence 9 feet in a narrow channel to Second Street Bridge. The Ahnapee River is navigable for a distance of about 2 miles from its mouth for vessels drawing not more than 4 feet. The costs under the existing project were $99,236.15 for new work and $237,838.21 for maintenance, a total of $337,074.36. The total expenditures were $337,154.64. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $7,511.11, will be applied to maintenance operation of U. S. dipper dredge Kewaunee, about June 1942.

KEWAUNEE HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 105 miles northerly from Milwaukee and about 78 miles from Green Bay, via Sturgeon Bay Canal. The harbor is at the mouth of the Kewaunee River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 73.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. For further details, see page 1936 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1447 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a converging north break- water and shore connection about 3,130 feet long, removal of about 1,400 feet of the total length of about 1,850 feet of the north pier, a south pier about 1,850 feet long, an entrance channel of a general width of 525 feet, about 2,800 feet long and 20 feet deep, leading to an interior turning basin of the same depth; also for removal of 1556 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 the outer south shoal to a depth of 22 feet. The parallel piers are formed of stone-filled piling and are capped with concrete super- structure. The north breakwater is formed of concrete caissons and the north-shore connection is a rubble mound. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $690 000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1881_. Entrance piers I __________________------------ Annual Report, 1881, p. 2082.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides two car-ferry slips, there is a coal wharf, a grain wharf, and several fishing wharves. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 62,200 cubic yards of material for' restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $9,795.88 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $9,311.75. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 71 percent completed. The piers were completed in 1897 and are in gen- erally good condition. The north breakwater and shore connection, except for a gap of 150 feet about 830 feet from the shoreward end, and the removal of the outer 706.5 linear feet of the north pier were com- pleted in 1937. Dredging the entrance channel and interior basin was completed in 1938. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of removal of the outer shoal and an addi- tional 700 linear feet of the north pier, and closing the gap in the north-shore connection which is not considered necessary under pres- ent conditions. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 20 feet in the entrance channel between the piers and over an area 600 by 500 feet in the inner basin. The Kewaunee River is navigable for a distance of about 61/2 miles above the mouth for craft drawing not more than 4 feet.

TWO RIVERS HARBOR, WIS. Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 82 miles northerly from Milwaukee and about 101 miles from Green Bay via Sturgeon Bay Canal. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 73.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871. For further details see page 1936 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1450 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for two entrance piers at the mouth of Twin Rivers, 245 feet apart at the outer ends and 750 feet apart at the shore line, having lengths of about 1,642 feet and 1,720 feet for the north and south piers, respectively; for a channel 2,600 feet long and 18 feet deep extending from that depth in the lake to an inner basin of the same depth at the confluence of the East and West Twin Rivers, the channel varying in width from 500 feet at the outer end to 200 feet between the piers; for a revetment about 450 feet long on the north side at the inner end of the channel and for a small stilling basin beyond the shore line on the north side of the channel. The piers are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling; 1,241 feet of the north pier and 894 feet of the south pier has been provided with concrete superstructure; about 274 feet of the south pier has been provided with rubble superstructure; 904 feet of the crib piers has been paved with concrete; the revetment on north side of channel is provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1 / feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $85,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $7,000.

I Completed under previous projects. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.,-These consist of a coal wharf and several fish- ing wharves. The city has provided a wharf for public use. These, facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 45,000 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $8,751.72. Repairing substructure and rebuilding super- structure, in concrete, on 906 linear feet of the north and south crib piers, in progress at the close of the fiscal year, cost $22,156.63. Repair- ing substructure and rebuilding superstructure, in concrete, on 272 linear feet of the south pile pier, in progress at the close of the fiscal year, was $14,003.10. All work was done by hired labor and use of Gov- ernment plant. The total cost was $44,911.45 for maintenance. The total net e penditures were $51,409.80. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 88 percent completed. The south pier was completed in 1883, and the north pier in 1908. Portions of each pier are being repaired and provided with concrete superstructure. The dredging was substantially completed in 1937. The work re- maining to be done to complete the existing project is dredging a 10- foot width along each side of the lakeward portion of the entrance channel between the piers. This dredging was necessarily omitted to avoid removal of riprap along the entrance piers and thereby endanger- ing them. The present width of channel is considered adequate for present and reasonably prospective commerce. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 18.5 feet on the entrance bar and 18 feet in the channel between the piers and in the inner basin. East and West Twin Rivers are navigable for about 3 and 7 miles, respectively, from the harbor piers for craft drawing not more than 4 feet. The costs under the existing project were $74,721.66 for new work and $418,629.44 for maintenance, a total of $493,351.10. The total expenditures were $500,140.17.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1561 13. MANITOWOC HARBOR, WIS. Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, dis- tant about 79 miles northerly from Milwaukee and about 106 miles from Green Bay via Sturgeon Bay Canal. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 735.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted in 1854, the first appropriation for the improvement having been made by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852. The project was modified by subsequent River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1881, September 19, 1890, June 3, 1896, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1937 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1453 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an outer harbor or stilling basin formed by two breakwaters extending from the shore on either side of the mouth of the Manitowoc River 425 feet apart at their outer ends and diverging to a distance of about 2,325 feet apart at their inner ends, having lengths of 2,540 feet and 2,290 feet for the north and south breakwaters, respectively; for a channel 21 feet deep, extending from that depth in the lake through the outer harbor to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 2,500 feet, with a width of about 650 feet; for a channel 21 feet deep in Manitowoc River from the river mouth to,the second railway bridge, a distance of approxi- mately 1.7 miles, with widths of 180 feet at the mouth, reducing to 150 feet at the upper end, with intermediate reductions and enlargements; for removal of old north stub pier at the river entrance; and for dredging in the outer harbor an approach channel 21 feet deep to a proposed city terminal on the lake front south of the shore end of the south breakwater. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling, all of which are capped with con- crete superstructures. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $501,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $19,500.

S. ARMY, 1941 Local cooperation.-The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the work of dredging an approach channel to the proposed city terminal in the-outer harbor "shall not be undertaken until local interests shall have submitted assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that such terminal will be constructed." The plan for the municipal terminal has been abandoned. All other requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides three car-ferry slips there are two grain elevators and several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, cement, and miscellaneous commodities. While these facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, it is believed the city should provide a suitable wharf with warehouse and railway connection, which should be open to the general public. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 47,894 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $9,002.32. Placing 638 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater cost $2,136.36. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $11,138.68 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $11,945.15. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 86 percent completed. The breakwaters completed in 1910 are in good condition. Dredging of the channel through the outer basin and removal of the old north stub pier at the river entrance was com- pleted in 1937. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of dredging the approach channel in the outer harbor, which is not now desired by local interests, and dredg- ing a short section of river channel to full width between Eighth and Tenth Street Bridges which was necessarily omitted until such time as the public utilities lower their submarine crossings at the locality. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 21 feet in the channel through the outer basin and in the river to the second railway bridge. The costs under the existing project were $434,700.83 for new work and $473,384.18 for maintenance, a total of $908,085.01. The total expenditures were $908,672.69. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended will be applied as follows: New work: Operation of U.

SHEBOYGAN HARBOR, WIS. Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, dis- tant about 26 miles south from Manitowoc and about 55 miles north of Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 735.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 23, 1866, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873, March 3, 1881, August 18, 1894, March 3, 1564 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1937 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1456 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an outer harbor or stilling basin formed by a breakwater extending from the shore about 2,100 feet north of the remaining 456 feet of the pier and revetment on the north side of the channel at the mouth of the Sheboygan River for a total length of 3,829 feet, and a south pier 2,750 feet long ex- tending into the lake about normal to the shore on the south side of the mouth of the river, and for a turning basin 900 feet wide and 20 feet deep in the outer harbor with an entrance channel about 3,500 feet long through the south side, of the basin, the depth being 25 feet from the lakeward end to a point 500 feet shoreward of the end of the north breakwater, decreasing to 21 feet in the next 300 feet and continuing at the latter depth to the inner end of the improved chan- nel, the widths to be 400 feet at- the lakeward end and 500 feet through the turning basin, decreasing to 200 feet at the river mouth. The north breakwater is formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete cais- sons, and piling, all of which is capped with concrete superstructure. The south pier and north stub pier and revetment are formed of timber cribs and piling, all of which have also been provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. IThe estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1935, was $470,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $15,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 2,1907 North breakwater---------------------------- H. Doc.

Terminal facilities.-These consist of several wharves used for han- dling coal, building material, fish, and miscellaneous commodities. The city has provided a public wharf with warehouse. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Operationsconsisted of dredging 21,964 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $5,764.71. Placing 2,544 tons of stone as riprap along the north breakwater; cost $7,305.66. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $13,- 070.37 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $12,866.86. RIVERS AND HARBORS---MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1565 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1938. The north breakwater was completed in 1915, the south pier in 1904, and the dredging in 1938. The piers and breakwater are in good condition. The inner 260 feet of the south pier has been entirely removed and replaced with a revetment by private interests under per- mit granted July 16, 1931, by the Secretary of War. The pier is there- fore maintained only for a length of about 2,490 feet. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 25 feet at the entrance for 500 feet, thence 21 feet in channel and turning basin. Sheboygan River is navigable for a distance of about 2.4 miles above its mouth for craft drawing not more than 2 feet. The costs under the existing project were $446,771.38 for new work and $527,- 959.93 for maintenance, a total of $974,731.31. The total expenditures were $974,527.80.

PORT WASHINGTON HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 53 miles south from Manitowoc and about 29 miles north from Mil- waukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 74.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 11, 1870, and was modified by the River and Harbor Act of August 14, 1876. For further details, see page 1938 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1459 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a north breakwater and shore connection approximately 2,537 feet long, extending from the shore about 1,350 feet north of the remaining 125 feet of the old north pier; removal of 650 feet of the north pier; for extending a privately owned south breakwater about 456 feet into the lake to form an en- trance about 350 feet in width, and for an outer turning basin 750 feet wide and 21 feet deep with an entrance channel about 2,400 feet long and 21 feet deep through the south side of the basin, the width being 110 feet at the inner end of the north pier and about 275 feet at the harbor entrance, leading to two interior basins 18 feet deep, the west basin being 140 feet wide and 490 feet long and the north basin 190 feet wide and 750 feet long. The north breakwater is formed of concrete caissons and the shore connection of interlocking steel-sheet piling of the cellular and single-wall types. The south breakwater is formed of concrete caissons and rubble mound. The north stub pier is formed of stone-filled steel-sheet piling. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluc- tuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $875,000, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000.

Terminal facilities.-There are two coal and building material wharves and several fishing wharves. The city has provided a wharf with warehouses which is open to public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Operations consisted of completing repairs to 125 linear feet of the north stub pier by con- structing about 78 linear feet of anchored single wall and about 47 linear feet of double wall steel-sheet piling at a cost of $16,374.52. Placing 1,985 tons of stone as riprap along the north breakwater cost $6,632.65. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $23,007.17 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $17,732.57. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1936. The north breakwater, north pier removal, and dredging was completed in 1934, and the south breakwater in 1936. The breakwaters and the north stub pier are in good condition. The original south pier, completed in 1893, vas entirely removed in 1932 by private inter- ests under permit granted October 25, 1930, by the Secretary of War and replaced with a coal wharf. A south rubble mound breakwater about 500 feet long was constructed in 1934 by private interests as an extension of their coal wharf in accord ance with local cooperation requirements of House Document No. 168, Seventy-second Congress, first session. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 21 feet in the Government entrance channel and turning basin. The interior basins had a controlling depth of 18.7 feet. The area between the south line of the Government entrance channel and the harbor face of the private coal wharf, which is main- tained by private interests, had a controlling depth of 21.5 feet.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1569 16. MILWAUKEE HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 85 miles northerly from Chicago and about 83 miles west of Grand Haven, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 743.) Previous projects.-The original project for improvement of Mil- waukee Harbor was adopted by act of March 3, 1843, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852; April 10, 1869; and March 3, 1899. The original project for the harbor of refuge was adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. The project of June 13, 1902, consolidating the harbor and harbor of refuge was modified by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905. For further details see page 1938 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1462 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a north breakwater 9,954 feet long and a south breakwater 9,671 feet, more or less, in length, extend- ing to the shore, thereby forming a protected basin in which is being developed a commercial harbor by the city of Milwaukee, the width of entrance between the two breakwaters being about 500 feet. It further provides for the protection of the river mouth by two piers, 358 feet apart at the outer ends and 552 feet apart at the shore line, 1,656 and 1,608 feet in length for the north and south piers, respec- tively; for a channel 21 feet deep, extending from that depth in the lake to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 2,850 feet, the width of channel outside the piers to be 600 feet; dredging to 21 feet, a portion of the outer harbor between East Wisconsin Avenue ex- tended and East Bay Street extended, and easterly of a line 50 feet lakeward of the pierhead line; and the abandonment of so much of the previous project as related to dredging inside the shore line for the formation of turning basins and widening channels. The break- waters are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and concrete caissons, all of which are capped with concrete superstructure. The inner en- trance piers are formed of concrete caissons, stone-filled timber cribs, and piling, and are also provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $4,663,000 exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $63,000. 1570 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

No. 289, 72d Cong., 1st sess. depth. (Contains latest published map.) 1 Completed under previous projects. Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of December 28, 1938, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to provide for dredging channels in the Mil- waukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic Rivers from the present project limit at the inner ends of the entrance piers to the North Humboldt Avenue Bridge on the Milwaukee River, to a point 100 feet west of the west line of North Twenty-fifth Street extended on the Menom- onee River, and to the South Kinnickinnic Avenue Bridge on the Kinnickinnic River, the depths to be 21 feet, at an estimated first cost of $110,000, with annual maintenance of $50,000, in addition to that now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (S. Doc. No. 29, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-The dredging in the outer basin is subject to the condition that the original dredging be done by the city of Mil- waukee, and the city of Milwaukee be reimbursed at not to exceed 10 cents per cubic yard place measurement for original dredging done subsequent to the authorization of the work by Congress. Agreement covering the dredging was executed by the Secretary of War February 23, 1931, after this work was originally authorized as part of the Public Works program. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides four car-ferry slips, there are numer- ous wharves, private and municipal, used for the handling of coal,. grain, building materials, cement, and miscellaneous commodities. As these facilities are considered inadequate for existing commerce, the Milwaukee Harbor Commission is engaged in building an outer harbor. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of placing 1,309 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater at a cost of $5,732.38. Repairs to the concrete superstructure on the north breakwater and inner entrance piers cost $16,005.12. Soundings were taken in the entrance channel at a cost of $216.22. Dredging done dur- ing the previous fiscal year involved a cost of $134.20. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $22,087.92 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $21.355.50. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of August 30, 1935, was completed in 1934. The north RIVERS AND HARBORSr--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1571 breakwater was completed for a length of 8,210 feet in 1909 and the extension of 1,744 feet in 1925, making the total length 9,954 feet. The north pier was completed in 1905 and the south pier in 1910. The south breakwater was completed in 1929 except for placing addi- tional riprap and repairing about 756 feet damaged by a storm of October 22-23, 1929. Rebuilding the damaged section of the break- water and the placing of additional riprap was completed in 1932. The south shore connection was completed in 1928. Dredging opera- tions for deepening and widening entrance channel were completed in 1930. Placing additional small stone around the caisson breakwaters to chink the voids in the large riprap was completed in 1934. No work has been done on deepening the outer harbor frontage to 21 feet north of the inner-entrarice piers. Prior to the modification of August 30, 1935, the city of Milwaukee dredged the area in the outer harbor south of the inner-entrance piers and lakeward of the pierhead line to more than 21 feet below datum without cost to the United States. The concrete superstructures on the timber crib section of the north breakwater and on the harbor piers are showing some disintegration, but not to such extent as to endanger the structures. The south break- water and shore connection are in good condition. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 21 feet and more in the entrance channel through the outer basin and between the inner piers. The costs under the existing project were $4,537.812.20 for new work, $771,281.77 for maintenance, a total of $5,309,093.97. The total expenditures were $5 310,156.19.

RACINE HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 26 miles southerly from Milwaukee and about 64 miles northerly from Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 745.) Previous projects.--The original project was adopted by the citi- zens of Racine about 1842 or 1843. The citizens' project was modified RIVERS AND IIARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1573 by acts of June 23, 1866, March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further details, see page 1939 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1465 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a north breakwater 2,640 feet long extending from shore at a point about 1,350 feet north of the remaining 180 feet of pier on the north side of the channel at the mouth of Root River, and for a south breakwater 2,652 feet long extending from the city rubble mound about 1,650 feet south of the remaining 22.5 feet of pier on the south side of the channel at the mouth of the river; for a channel 19 feet deep, with suitably increased depth at the entrance, extending from that depth in the lake through the outer harbor to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 1,900 feet, with a width of about 825 feet; for a channel 19 feet deep in Root River from the river mouth to below the Fourth Street Bridge, a distance of about 3,600 feet, with widths of 190 feet at the mouth, reducing to 95 feet at the upper end, with intermediate reductions and enlargements; and removal of shoals, about one-half mile lake- ward of the harbor entrance, to a minimum depth of 25 feet. The breakwaters and south stub pier are formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling, all being capped with concrete super- structure. The north stub pier is formed of stone-filled steel-sheet piling. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $726,000, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects and exclu- sive of inner 300 linear feet of pile pier and 450 linear feet of rubble mound, originally part of south breakwater but no longer considered necessary. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $14,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 2,1907 'Breakwaters .... H. Doe.

Local cooperation.--The act of August 26, 1937, provided that the dredging in Root River shall not be undertaken until local interests have released the United States from all claims for damages to land and structures attributable to the work of improvement, and have given assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will d.redge vessel berths to a depth sufficient for full utilization of the proposed Federal improvement and that they will provide and main- 1574 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1i941 tain suitable public wharf and terminal facilities on the river, open to the public on equal terms. Negotiations for compliance are in progress. Terminal facilities.-These consist of several coal wharves, a cement wharf, and two fishing wharves. These facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of completing repairs to 180 linear feet of the north stub pier, which was in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, by constructing about 105 linear feet of anchored single wall and about 75 linear feet of double wall steel sheet piling at a cost of $8,477.72. Soundings taken in the entrance channel and river cost $1,847.01. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $10,324.73 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $6,408 67. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The entire existing project was about 90 percent completed. The project in effect prior to the modi- fication of August 26. 1937, was substantially completed in 1924. The north breakwater and shore connection and north pier removal were completed in 1915. The south breakwater and shore connection, south pier removal, and dredging the entrance channel through outer basin under the old project were completed in 1924. No work has been done on the last modification of the project providing for removal of shoals, widening channel through outer basin, and dredging the river chan- nel. The concrete superstructure on north breakwater and shore connection is disintegrating and requires repairs. The south break- water and shore connection and the stub piers are in good condition. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 20 feet over the existing width of 650 feet through the outer basin, thence 16 feet in river to State Street, reducing to about 6 feet at Fourth Street. The costs under the existing project were $653 020.04 for new work and $313,975.64 for maintenance, a total of $966,995.68. The total expenditures were $980,173.11. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U.

Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852, and modified by River and Har- bor Acts of June 23, 1866, September 19, 1890, March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1939 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1468 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a detached breakwater 796 feet long, for two parallel piers about 250 feet apart, 1,077 and 1.872 feet in length for the north and south piers, respectively, and for a channel 200 feet wide and 21 feet deep, from that depth in the lake a distance of 2,750 feet to an interior basin 21 feet deep. The break- water is formed of stone-filled cribs; the piers are formed of stone- filled cribs and piling. The entire north pier, 1,175 feet of the south pier, and the entire breakwater are capped with concrete- superstruc- ture. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctu- ations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $71,550, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $9,000.

ST. JOSEPH HARBOR, MICH. Location.--Located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 60 miles easterly from Chicago and about 24 miles southerly from South Haven. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 758.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 4, 1838, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866; March 3, 1875; June 14, 1880; and July 13, 1892. For further details, see page 1945 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1470 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the St. Joseph River by two piers, 250 to 325 feet apart at their inner and outer ends, respectively, having lengths of 2,854 feet on the north side and 2,603 feet on the south side, for a channel 21 feet deep from Lake Michigan to the mouth of the Benton Harbor Canal, a length of about 6,900 feet, and a turning basin of the same depth at the mouth of the canal, having a width of 190 feet and a length of 325 feet; for 18 feet depth in the Benton Harbor Canal up to the west line of Ninth Street, a length of about 3,600 feet, the width of channel being about 265 feet at the outer end of the piers, 190 feet at the inner end of the piers and revetments, increasing to 250 feet below the turning basin; thence decreasing from 110 to 80 feet in the canal. The piers and revetments are formed of timber cribs and piling, the entire south pier and the entire north pier and revetment having been repaired with concrete superstructure, and 500 feet of the south revet- ment having been repaired with rubble superstructure. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctua- RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE:, WIS., DISTRICT 1579 tions of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $380,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $17,000.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of January 11, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide that the existing turning basin near the mouth of Paw Paw River be no longer maintained, and that a turn- ing basin 18 feet deep be dredged on the north side of St. Joseph River Just above the mouth of Morrison Channel, at an estimated first cost of $74,000, with annual maintenance of $1,000, in addition to that now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 129, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, petroleum products, and miscellaneous com- modities. A package-freight terminal is also available for use. While these facilities are generally adequate for existing traffic conditions, a public wharf open for all on equal terms should be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 58,147 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $13,746.55. Placing 568 tons of stone as riprap around the outer ends of the piers cost $1,930.63. Repairing substruc- ture and rebuilding superstructure, in concrete, on 500 linear feet of the south revetment, in progress at the close of the fiscal year, cost $21,986.18. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $37,663.36 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $44,184.86. Condition, at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1938. Pier construction was completed in 1904 and dredg- Ing of the channel in 1938. The piers and revetments are in generally 1580 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 good condition. The inner portion of the south revetment is being repaired. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 21 feet in the channel to Benton Harbor Canal and 17.5 feet in Benton Harbor Canal to Ninth Street. The costs under the existing project were $366,683.16 for new work and $703,756.18 for maintenance, a total of $1,070,439.34. The total expenditures were $1,076,945.63.

SOUTH HAVEN HARBOR, MICH. Location.-Located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 77 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 24 miles north- erly from St. Joseph. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 76.) 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 June 14, 1880, August 2, 1882, and August 11, 1888. (For further details see page 1947 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1473 of Annual Report for 1938.) Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of Black River by two piers and revetments, 190 to 166 feet apart, with lengths of 2,143 feet and 2,182 feet for the north and south sides, respectively; for an entrance channel 21 feet deep and 130 feet wide to the shore line; thence a channel 19 feet deep and 130 feet wide, extending up the river to a turning basin 375 feet wide and 19 feet deep, located immediately below the Dyckman Avenue Bridge: The length of en- trance channel to the inner end of the piers is about 2,700 feet and in the river to the bridge 2,400 feet. The piers and revetments are formed of timber cribs and piling and are capped with concrete except for 744 feet at inner end of the south revetment. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578 5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one- half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctua- tions of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1939, is $236,000, exclu- sive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $17,000.

ARMY, 194!1 Local cooperation.-The act of August 30, 1935, provided "that no expense shall be incurred by the United States for the acquiring of any lands required for the purpose of this improvement." Accord- ing to latest information, no land will be required as enlargement of the basin is not desired by local interests. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-These consist of several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, wood pulp, fish, and! miscellaneous commodities. The city has constructed a municipal wharf and ware- house. The municipal wharf is leased to a private corporation which operates it in the interest of general commerce on like terms for like service. The facilities are considered adequate for existing com- merce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 42,018 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $11,653.73. Repairing substructure and rebuilding superstructure, in concrete, on the outer 400 linear feet of both piers, in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, was completed at a cost of $39,565.50. Repairing substructure and rebuilding super- structure, in concrete, on the inner 418 linear feet of the north revet- ment, in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, was com- pleted at a cost of $10,636.44. Stone placed as riprap during the previous fiscal year involved a cost of $36.73. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $61,892.40 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $51,- 131.43. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 87 percent completed. The piers were completed in 1913 and dredging of the channel and existing turning basin in 1938. The work re- maining to be done to complete the existing project consists of en- largement of the turning basin, which is not now desired by local interests. The piers and revetments are in good condition. The con- trolling depths at lowwater datum at the close of the fiscal year were 21 feet in the channel between the piers and 19 feet in the river and existing turning basin. The costs under the existing proj- ect were $204,047.38 for new work and $536,038.28 for maintenance, a total of $740,085.66. The total expenditures were $739,978.21.

The city of Holland has provided a public wharf for small craft. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 35,196 cubic yards of material for restoration of project RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1587 depth at a cost of $5,662.15. Placing 966 tons of stone to raise and re- pair rubble mound connections between the outer and inner piers cost, $1,983.15. Dredging done during the previous fiscal year in- volved a cost of $0.29. Preliminary work preparatory to repairing 433 linear feet of north revetment cost $358.92. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government'plant. The total cost was $11,- 004.51 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $11,204. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1938. The pier construction was completed in 1910, and the dredg- ing in 1938. The piers and revetments are in generally good condi- tion, except that a portion of the north revetment requires repairs. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 23 feet in the basin between the converging piers, 21 feet in the channel between the inner piers to Lake Macatawa, 21 feet in the inner channel in Lake Macatawa to the wharves at Holland and 18 feet in the turning basin. The costs under the existing project were $452,- 402.15 for new work and $647,040.09 for maintenance, a total of $1,099,442.24. The total expenditures were $1,099,685.69.

GRAND HAVEN HARBOR AND GRAND RIVER, MICH. Location.-The harbor is located on the east shore of Lake Michi- gan, distant about 108 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 23 miles northerly from Holland. The river rises in Jackson County, Mich., and flows in a general westerly direction into Lake Michigan, with a total length of about 260 miles. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 765, and U. S. Geological Survey Grand Rapids quadrangle.) Previos projects.-The original project for the river was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. A new project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, and was modi- fied by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1949 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1481 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the river by piers and revetments, 415 feet apart at the entrance, diminish- ing to 390 feet inside, about 3,569 and 5,549 feet in length for the north and south sides, respectively, and for a channel 23 feet deep RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1589 and generally 300 feet wide and 1,500 feet long from that depth in the lake to a point about 1,000 feet inside the pier ends; thence 21 feet deep and 300 feet wide and 11 miles long to the car-ferry slip, with an enlargement at the upper end; thence 21 feet deep and 200 feet wide and 11/ miles long from the car-ferry slip to the Grand Trunk.Railway bridge at Ferrysburg; thence a channel 18 feet deep and generally 100 feet wide to deep water in Spring Lake, a distance of about 1,350 feet in the river and about 1,750 feet up the outlet from Spring Lake; and for a channel in Grand River 8 feet deep at low-water datum, 100 feet wide and 141 miles long to Bass River, the total length of river channel being about 171/2 miles. The piers and revetments are built of timber cribs and piling, all of which are capped with concrete superstructure. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1937, is $760,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $35,000. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level in the harbor are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pres- sure, of about 112 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time.

Recommetnded modifications of project.-Under date of February 27, 1940, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the ex- isting p'roject so as to provide for a channel 300 feet wide and 21 feet deep from the enlargement in the existing channel at the Grand Trunk Western car-ferry slip to and including a turning basin 18 feet deep at the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge, at an esti- mated first cost of $150,000 with annual maintenance of $7,500, in addition to that now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. 661, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). Termiinal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip, there are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, fish, and miscel- laneous commodities. The car-ferry slip is not in use at present. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce, except 1590 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 that there should be a public wharf in Grand Haven for transfer be- tween rail and water. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 92,754 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, below the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, at a cost of $17,148.39. Dredging 59,727 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the river above the Grand Trunk Railway bridge cost $7,939.58. Dredging done during the previous fiscal year, below the Grand Trunk Railway bridge involved a cost of $70.27. Placing 3,866 tons of stone as riprap and, filling for the piers and revetments cost $12,046.55. Repairs to substructure and building concrete super- structure on 652 linear feet of the north revetment was com- pleted by placing sand as filling at a cost of $1,800.56. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $39,005.35 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $36,975.45. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 98 percent completed. The work remaining to be done is a small amount of dredging on the northerly side of the inner channel at the point of land 1,350 feet upstream from the inner end of the north revetment. This dredging cannot be done without revetting the bank or endangering private cottages. The present channel past this site, having a least width of 240 feet, is considered adequate for present and reasonably prospective commerce. The piers and revetments were completed in 1893 and are in generally good condition. Dredg- ing of that portion of the channel between the car-ferry slip and the Grand Trunk Railway bridge was completed in 1930 with ad- vanced funds. Dredging of the river above the railway bridge to Bass River was completed in 1931. Dredging the channel into Spring Lake was completed in 1938.. The controlling depths at low- water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 23 feet between the piers, thence 21 feet in the river to the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, and thence 8 feet to Bass River and 18 feet in the outlet from Spring Lake. The costs under the existing project were $747,724.47 for new work and $1,667,935.64 for maintenance, a total of $2,415,660.11. The total expenditures were $2,414,582.06.

(See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 767.) Previous p.rojeets.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, June 23, 1874, August 2, 1882, September 19, 1890, August 18, 1894, March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further details, see page 1950 of Annual Report for 1915; page 1399, Annual Report for 1924; and page 1484, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an exterior basin in Lake Michigan, formed by two arrowhead breakwaters, the south 1,514 feet and the north 1,404 feet long, 500 feet apart at the outer ends. diverging at an angle of about 900, the inner ends connected with the shore by suitable structures 1,660 feet and 1,561 feet long on the north and south sides, respectively; for the removal of 1,003 feet of the existing north pier and 1,106 feet of the existing south pier; for repairing and maintaining the revetment around the old car-ferry slip on the south side of the entrance channel; for dredging a chan- nel 380 feet wide at the entrance, thence increasing to 650 feet wide at a point about 300 feet inside the entrance, thence decreasing toward the new pierheads to 500 feet wide and 240 feet wide between the piers, with depths varying from 24 feet at the harbor entrance to 21 feet at the shore line and in the inner channel to Muskegon Lake, about 6,050 feet from the harbor entrance. The south break- water and shore connection are built of concrete caissons and piling capped with concrete; the north breakwater is a rubble mound; the inner piers and revetments are built of timber cribs and piling, all having been capped with concrete. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide in New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $1,885,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $26,000.

There is also a sand wharf at the west end of Muskegon Lake south of the inner end of the improved channel. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 48,933 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $8,498.28. Placing 2,946 tons of stone as riprap along the north pier and revetment cost $6,749.46. -Repairs to outer end of north breakwater cost $20.79. Repairing substructure and rebuilding superstructure, in concrete, on 264 linear feet of the south revetment cost $20,775.56. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $36,044.09 for main- tenance. The total net expenditures were $34,335.66. Condition at end of flscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1938. The south breakwater and south-shore connection was com- pleted in 1930. The north breakwater and shore connection and removal of old piers was completed in 1931. Deepening and widening entrance channel was completed in 1932. Repairing the south revet- ment around the old car-ferry slip was completed in 1938. The outer 54 feet of the south breakwater were removed in 1939, thereby in- creasing the width between the outer ends of the breakwaters to 555 feet. The south breakwater is therefore maintained for only a length of about 1,460 feet. The breakwaters and shore connections are in good condition. The inner piers and revetments are in fair condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 22.5 feet in the channel through the outer harbor and 21 feet between the inner piers to Muskegon Lake. The costs under the existing project were $1,900,922.07 for new work and $470,530.84 for maintenance, a total of $2,371,452.91. The total expenditures were $2370,909.88.

WHITE LAKE HARBOR, MICH. Location.-On the east shore of Lake Michigan, about 120 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 45 miles southerly from Lud- ington. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 768.) Existing project.-This provides for the abandonment of the old outlet and the creation of a new channel 16 feet deep, 200 feet wide, RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUIKEEi WIS., DISTRICT 1595 and about 1,950 feet long from Lake Michigan to White Lake between parallel piers and revetments having lengths of 1,717 feet and 1,953 feet on north and south sides, respectively. The piers and revetments are built of timber cribs and piling, all of which are capped with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluc- tuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1 /2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1907, was $353,550. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance.is $5,500.

PENTWATER HARBOR, MICH. Location.-On the east shore of Lake Michigan, about 146 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 14 miles southerly from Lud- ington. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 77.) Existing project.-This provides for widening the old entrance channel to 150 feet between parallel piers and revetments, the channel to extend from Lake Michigan to Pentwater Lake, with a depth of 16 feet. The piers and revetments are built of timber cribs and piling, all of which have been provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1597 due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1939, is $230,000. The latest (1939) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $11,000.

Recommended modifications of project.-The project was recom- mended for abandonment in House Documents Nos. 429, Sixty-fourth Congress, first session; and 467, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session. T'er1iAal facilities.-A number of small, privately owned wharves are grouped at the west end of Pentwater Lake. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dlredging 29,103 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost- of $10,189.26 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $9,951.18. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 78 percent completed. The north pier and revetment was completed in 1885 for a length of 2,226 feet and the south pier in 1889 for a length of 1,847 feet. The dredging was completed in 1907. The piers and revetments are in good condition. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is a 200-foot extension to the south pier which is not considered necessary under present conditions. The net length of the north pier and revetment is now 2,022 feet, 204 feet hav- ing been removed in 1931. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 11.5 feet in the entrance channel be- tween the piers to Pentwater Lake. The costs under the existing project were $179,899.10 for new work and $428,222.24 for mainte- nance, a total of $608,121.34. The total expenditures were $607,946.72.

LUDINGTON HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located on the east shore of Lake Michi- gan, distant about 156 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 67 miles northerly from Grand Haven. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 774.) 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 5, 1886, August 11, 1888, and March 3, 1899. For further details see page 1951 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1491 of Annual Report of 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an exterior basin in Lake Michigan, formed by two breakwaters, each with main arm 1,800 feet long, 400 feet apart at the outer ends, diverging at an angle of 900, and with shore connections, 1,103 feet and 2,004 feet in length for RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1599 north and south breakwaters, respectively; for the removal of the outer end of the inner piers; for dredging the exterior basin to a depth of 18 feet; and for an inner channel about 2,000 feet long con- necting Pere Marquette Lake with Lake Michigan, the minimum navigable width being 150 feet and depth of 18 feet. The break- waters and inner piers and revetments are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, all of which are capped with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuation of a tenm- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/ feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1916, was $1,090,587, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000.

The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1914, p. 2974. Terminal facilities.-Besides the main terminal of the Pere Mar- quette Railway Co., consisting of three car-ferry slips and a wharf with warehouses, there are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 35,120 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $9,317.08. Placing 1,772 tons of stone as riprap along the revetments cost $5,500.74. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $14,817.82 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $14,052.09. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1918. The breakwaters were completed in 1911, the shore connections in 1914, the dredging in 1917, and the placing of additional stone as riprap in 1918. The breakwaters and shore connections are in good condition. The inner piers, and revetments are in good to poor condition. The outer 100 feet of the south breakwater were removed by private interests in 1939 by authority of the Chief of Engineers dated June 2, 1939, thereby increasing the width between the outer ends of the breakwaters to 475 feet. The south breakwater is therefore maintained for only a length of about 1,700 feet. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 27 feet 1600 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 at harbor entrance, thence decreasing through the outer basin to 20 feet at lakeward end of the inner piers and thence 19.4 feet in the channel between the inner piers and revetments to Pere Marquette Lake. The costs under the existing project were $1,036,085.93 for new work, and $803,160.81 for maintenance, a total of $1,839,246.74. The total ex- penditures were $1,839,459.65.

For further details see page 1952 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1493 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 23 feet deep, 570 feet wide, 1,600 feet to the outer end of the south pier; thence 21 feet deep between the piers and in the river, 120 to 220 feet wide, 2,000 feet; and thence with a minimum width of 100 feet from the inner end of the north revetment to Manistee Lake, about 6,400 feet. The project also provides for a south breakwater having a main arm 1,300 feet long and a shore connection 1,185 feet long, north pier and revetment 2,797 feet long, and south pier and revetment 597 feet long. The breakwater, shore connection, and piers are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling and are capped with concrete superstructure. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The stimate of cost for new work, revised in 1934, is $500,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000.

ARMY, 1941 Recommended modifications of project.--Under date of June 19, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the ex- isting project so as to provide for removal of the south revetment; for the construction of about 900 feet of new pier and revetment 300 feet south of and parallel to the existing north pier and revet- ment, and for widening the river entrance channel to 250 feet with a depth of 21 feet, extending about 1,000 feet upstream from the outer harbor basin, at an estimated first cost of $147,000 with $2,000 annually for maintenance, in addition to that now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 380, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-The act of July 3, 1930, provided "that no work shall be undertaken on the section of the river through and above the bridges until they have been modified in a manner satisfactory to the Secretary of War." The Smith Street Bridge and the railroad bridge have been rebuilt, but the Maple Street Highway Bridge has not been rebuilt. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is a Government wharf and a private sand wharf on the north side of the river and a package-freight wharf with warehouse and a coal wharf on the south side. Indus- tries on Manistee Lake have wharves used for handling coal, salt, building materials, and pulpwood. The city has provided a wharf on the south side of the river for general public use. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 27,160 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $6,322.36. Placing 6,931 tons of stone as rip- rap along the north pier and revetment cost $13,480.83. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $19,803.19 for maintenance. The total net' expenditures were $20,288.04. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 96 percent completed. The north pier and revetment, completed in 1893, and the south breakwater and shore connection in 1920, are in good condition. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of dredging the river to project dimensions from about 800 feet below Maple Street highway bridge to Manistee Lake. This can- not be done until Maple Street Bridge has been rebuilt and until a large part of the river banks are revetted by private interests. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 23 feet in the outer basin, thence 22 feet in the channel between the piers, and 21 feet in the river to Manistee Lake. The costs under the existing project were $483,982.86 for new work and $575,814.94 for maintenance, a total of $1,059,797.80. The total expenditures were $1,059,940.57.

Location.-On the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 186 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 37 miles northerly from Ludington. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 777.) Existing project.-This provides for a harbor of refuge, with an entrance channel from Lake Michigan to Portage Lake, 300 feet wide and 18 feet deep, protected by timber crib and pile piers and revetments. The piers and revetments have been provided with con- crete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pres- sure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1902, was $344,300. The latest (1939) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $12',000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor' Act of March 3, 1879 (Annual Report for 1879, p. 1634).

LELAND HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is on the east shore of Lake Michigan at the mouth of Carp (Leelanau) River, Mich., distant about 240 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 40 miles northerly from Frank- fort. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 78.) Existing project.-This provides for the removal of the wrecked outer portions of the old privately owned piers; for the construction of new piers converging from shore to an entrance 60 feet wide, the lengths to be 370 and 440 feet for the north and south piers, respec- tively; and for an entrance channel 6 feet deep and 40 feet wide, the inner end of channel being about 300 feet inside of the harbor entrance. The new piers are built of piling filled with stone. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctu- ations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1935, was $60,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 23, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Terminal facilities.-There are privately owned wharves on each side of the inner harbor extending from the dam located about 400 feet above the mouth of the river, for a distance of about 200 feet downstream, used principally by the local fishing interests, and to some extent by Government mail, Coast Guard, and lighthouse boats. All available dockage space is utilized. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of taking soundings and other preliminary work preparatory to entering into a contract for construction of a stone-mound shore connection and dredging entrance channel, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $437.96 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $428.36. RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1609 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. The converging piers, removal of outer portions of the old privately owned piers, and dredging was completed in 1937. The remaining portions of the private piers are in poor condition. Prior to the work done by the Government the harbor had been built and maintained entirely by local interests. Carp River, about 4,000 feet long, connects Leelanau Lake with Lake Michigan. There is a concrete dam with a 9-foot head about 400 feet above the river mouth. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 9 feet at entrance, reducing thence to 3.8 feet at the inner end of the channel through outer harbor, and 3.6 feet in river to the dam.

Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, dis- tant about 51 miles south of Milwaukee and about 38 miles north from Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 74.) Previous projects.-An appropriation was made by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852, for a breakwater. This work was abandoned. The original project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880, and modified by River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882. For further details see page 1940 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1508 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for- (a) A detached timber-crib breakwater 600 feet long and the con- struction of a northerly and westerly extension to shore about 1,300 feet long. (b) Two parallel piers of timber cribs and piling, about 240 feet apart, 1,613 and 3,212 feet long for the north and south pier, respec- tively, the inshore end of south pier being on a line diverging from the general line of the pier (Annual Report for 1906, p. 1760). (c) A channel 200 feet wide, 18 feet deep, extending from Lake Michigan to an inner basin of the same depth, protected on the east side by a pile revetment 882 feet long; including a bulkhead estimated RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1617 to cost $30,000, in front of the city park, with additional dredging near the lake end of the north pier, and enlarging the inner basin. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1930, is $614,300, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, but including $30,000 (cost of bulkhead) to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $7,000, on the completion of the project. IThe existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 14, 1880 Parallel piers and basin -------------------- Annual Report, 1880, p. 1942.

(contains the inner basin. latest published map). 1 Completed under previous projects. Recommended modifcations of project.-On November 18, 1940, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the project for Waukegan Har- bor be modified to provide for a depth of 22 feet from that depth in Lake Michigan to the outer end of the north pier; for the abandon- ment of the present provision for dredging to 18-foot depth in the triangular area in the southwest corner of the inner basin; and for the improvement of an anchorage area 8 feet deep in the southwest corner of the inner basin at an estimated first cost of $34,000, with annual maintenance of $1,000 in addition to that now required subject to cer- tain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 116, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Local coop'eration.-The River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930, provided that no work shall be done on enlarging the inner basin until local interests have given assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War and the Chief of Engineers that they will assume the cost of a bulkhead in front of the city park at an estimated cost of $30,000. These assurances have not been given. Terminal facilities.-These consist of a wharf 1,000 feet long, owned by the North Shore Coke & Chemical Co., equipped with a coal-han- dling tower, and two coal wharves and one fishing wharf owned by the city of Waukegan. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during iscal year.--Government costs in the amount of $62.47 were incurred in connection with placing riprap 1618 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 along the south pier. Miscellaneous surveys were carried on at a cost of $1,543.19. The total cost was $1,605.66, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,949.49. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 92 percent completed. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is dredging to enlarge the inner basin. The north pier and east revetment were completed in 1904 and the south pier in 1909. The outer 600 feet of breakwater was completed in 1904 and its shore-arm extension in 1931. All structures are generally in good condition. The controlling depths are 21 feet in the entrance channel to the outer end of the south pier and about 19 feet in the remaining portion of the entrance channel and basin. Depths are based on soundings taken in April 1941, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean-water level in June 1941 was 0.58 foot above datum. The total cost was $1,364,437.98, of which $536,757.92 was for new work and $827,680.06 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $1,364,429.68.

CHICAGO HARBOR, ILL. Location.- Northeastern Illinois, near the southern end of Lake Michigan; 85 miles in a southerly direction from Milwaukee, Wis. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 752.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1833, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866, March 2, 1867, July 1, 1868, and April 10, 1869. Work was continued under these projects until 1870. (For further details see p. 1941 of Annual Report for 1915 and p. 1510 of Annual Report for 1938.) Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) An inner breakwater, all of timber cribs, enclosing an inner basin of about 224 acres in extent, the breakwater being in two sec- tions, as follows: The main inner breakwater, 4,036 feet long with 300 feet of shore return on north end; a southerly extension 2,550 feet long. (b) An exterior breakwater enclosing an outer basin of about 970 acres in extent, the breakwater being in two sections, as follows: The main exterior breakwater built of timber cribs and 5,413 feet long, and the southerly extension built of rubble mound and concrete caissons and 5,000 feet long, exclusive of the harbor entrance gap of 500 feet. (c) Maintenance dredging to a depth of 21 feet of that part of the inner basin lying north of a line drawn eastwardly perpendicular to the eastern boundary of Grant Park, from the northern end of said boundary, and also of the entrance to Chicago River from the lake to Rush Street over a width varying from 470 to 190 feet. (d) Maintenance of that section of the North Pier, 900 feet long, located east of the entrance to Ogden Slip. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot due to wind and difference in barometric pressures occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1914, was $3,686,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $50,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1620 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The latest published map of this harbor is in the Annual Report for 1914, opposite page 2924. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The outer harbor terminals consist of two slips, one opening off from the main river, and one opening off from the inner basin; wharves, fronting on the river itself, and a municipal pier extending into the outer basin from the lake front at the outer end of Grand Avenue. The outer harbor facilities are not entirely adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Breliminary work in connection with riprapping exterior breakwater was carried on at a cost of $57.58. A total of 2,254 tons of riprap stone was furnished and placed in connection with the repair of exterior breakwater, by contract, at a cost of $8,202.62. Miscellaneous surveys, etc., were car- ried on at a cost of $7,952.36. Government costs in the amount of $116.88 were incurred in connection with the repair of the rubble- mound breakwater. The total cost was $16,329.44, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $31,833.85. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1923. The entrance to Chicago River has been improved by the construction of parallel entrance piers and dredging a chan- nel 190 to 470 feet in width to a depth of 21 feet below datum. The northerly arm of the inner breakwater (timber, 4,036 feet, with 300- foot shore return on north end, completed in 1874; concrete super- structure completed in 1934) is in good condition. The southerly arm (timber, 2,550 feet, completed in 1880; concrete superstructure completed in 1930) is in good condition. The exterior breakwater (timber 5,413 feet, completed in 1889, concrete superstructure com- pleted in 1930) is in good condition. The southerly extension (rub- ble mound, 2,227 feet, completed in 1917) and the south arm (rubble mound, 1,532 feet, completed in 1920; and concrete caisson, 1,185 feet, completed in 1923) are in good condition.

For description see page 1467 of Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, modified by acts of March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1942 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1513 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for maintenance dredging to 21 feet below the hydraulic grade line, corresponding to low-water datum in Lake Michigan, of the main river from Rush Street to the junction of the North and South Branches (0.7 mile), the North Branch from the junction to North Avenue (2.22 miles), the North Branch Canal (1.04 miles), and the North Branch Turning Basin, the channels and turning basin to be maintained to project depth to within 20 feet of existing docks. The width of channel in main river varies from 200 to 300 feet, in North Branch from 50 to 150 feet, and in the North Branch Canal from 70 to 110 feet. All depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York, with due allowance for hydraulic grade resulting from the drainage canal. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1899, was $810,600, ex- clusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1928) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $20,000.

Terminal facilities.-In the Chicago River and its branches there is a total wharfage, including numerous slips, of about 150,000 feet, about 15,000 feet of which is used by private interests for shipping purposes. These terminals are owned and operated by steamboat lines, grain, coal, and lumber companies, and various other industries. They are more than adequate in extent for existing commerce. Except for the State of Illinois barge terminal and elevator at Damen Avenue on the RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL.1 DISITRICT 1623 South Branch (mentioned in terminal facilities on the Illinois River), and the frontage along Wacker Drive, owned by the city, there are no publicly 'owned docks, wharves, or other terminal facilities on the main river or its branches. Operations and results during fiscal year-Miscellaneous surveys, etc., were made at a total cost of $1,700.37, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,795.37. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was completed in 1914. The controlling depths are as follows: In the main river, 21 feet; in the North Branch of the river up to the North Branch turning basin, 19 feet; in the North Branch Canal, 18 feet. Depths in the turning basin are 17 feet or more, to within 50 feet of the docks, de- creasing to about 7 to 14 feet at the docks. Depths are based upon soundings taken in March 1941, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1941 was 0.58 foot above datum. The heads of navigation for commercial vessels are Belmont Avenue on the North Branch and Ashland Avenue on the South Branch, 5.97 and 6.5 miles, respectively, from the Michigan Avenue Bridge. The total cost was $1,401,007.13, of which $544,678.70 was for new work and $856,328.43 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $1,400,980.05.

CALUMET HARBOR AND RIVER, ILL. AND IND. Location.-NortheasternIllinois (Cook County), near the southern end of Lake Michigan, 121/2 miles south of Chicago Harbor, and 'known on the Great Lakes as South Chicago Harbor, it being in the southirly part of and within the corporate limits of the city of Chi- cago, except for a part of the breakwaters and of the anchorage be- hind same, which are in Indiana. The Calumet River is within the Chicago city limits. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 755.) For description, see page 1471 of Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects.-The original project for Calumet Harbor was adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 11, 18.70, and modified Au- gust 11, 1888. Work was continued under these projects until 1896. The original project for Calumet River was adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884, and modified August 5, 1886. For fur- ther details, see page 1943 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1515 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) An outer harbor protected by two breakwaters, one (timber cribs) extending from the shore due east 4,400 feet, thence south- easterly 2.500 feet; and the other a detached breakwater extending about 5,000 feet southeasterly, with an entrance 600 feet wide between the breakwaters. (b) Dredging the outer harbor area to a depth of 26 feet, with a minimum width of 3,000 feet. (c) An entrance channel to the river 26 feet deep between existing bulkheads to the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway Co. bridge near the original shore line. (d) A channel in Calumet River, thence to The Forks, with a minimum width of 200 feet and with a depth of 25 feet to the Semet Solvay wharf, near One Hundred and Eleventh Street; a depth of 23 feet through the rock section in the vicinity of One Hundred and Eleventh and One Hundred and Fourteenth Streets, thence a depth of 21 feet to One Hundred and Twenty-second Street, and thence a depth of 21.5 feet to the head of the improvement. (e) Widening and straightening the river channel, except through the rock cut, to lines 20 feet from the bulkhead lines now or hereafter established. (f) Five turning basins at intervals along the channel, of suitable size for turning the largest lake cargo carriers, and each of the same depth as the adjacent channel. RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1625 The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Fluctuations in stage of the river are practically those resulting from changes of water level in Lake Michigan. On Lake Michigan seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluc- tuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in barometric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $8,503,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $125,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Annual Report, 1896, pp. 2584 et seq., protected by breakwater ------- and H. Doc.

Recommended modifications of project.--Under date of March 15, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the project for Calu- met Harbor and River be modified so as to provide for an approach channel to the harbor, 3,200 feet wide and 28 feet deep through the shoals outside the breakwater, and for closing the existing 600-foot entrance gap between the breakwaters at an estimated first cost of $910,000, with $15,000 annually for maintenance in addition to that now required (H. Doc. No. 233, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-The act of March 3, 1905, required as a condi- tion precedent to Federal expenditures upon any one of the five turn- ing basins the donation to the United States of the land necessary for that turning basin and have either provided any necessary bulk- heads or have released the United States from all damage to adjacent lands by reason of the excavation. As a result the land needed for turning basins Nos. 1, 3, and 5 has been conveyed to the United States. The total area thus conveyed is 17.85 acres, and the value of the land at the time of its conveyance was approximately $35,700. The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the widening of the chan- nel at any locality or the future excavation of a turning basin shall 1626 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 not be commenced until local interests have furnished, free of cost to the United States, the lands or easements necessary for such widening or excavation and have either provided any necessary bulkheads, or have released the United States from all damages to adjacent lands by reason of the excavation. Terminal facilities.-All terminal facilities on the lake front and in the entrance channel up to the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway bridge are owned and operated by two steel companies, except a 450 linear- foot reservation owned by the Engineer Department. These facilities consist in part of two slips which are 2,900 and 1,300 feet long, respectively, and also of about 2,961 feet of wharfage facing on the entrance channel. These terminals are fully equipped and are considered adequate for existing commerce. Additional dockage exists on the lake front and along the entrance channel, but for various reasons it is not now suitable for terminal uses. Between the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway bridge and The Forks there are about 45,800 feet of wharfage, including 14 slips and dry- docks, of which about 31,300 feet are in use. These wharves are owned and operated by various private and industrial concerns han- dling ore, coal, grain, lumber, etc. About 3,600 feet are in use for shipbuilding purposes. The ore, grain, and coal wharves are fully equipped and are considered adequate for existing commerce. There are no public wharves on the Calumet River. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preliminary work in connection with dredging entrance channel and river was carried on at a cost of $3,025.76. A total of 123,191 cubic yards of material, scow measurement, was removed, by contract, at a cost of $72,603.70. Mis- cellaneous surveys were carried on at a cost of $10,789.22. The total cost was $86,418.68, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $85,119.98. Condition at end of fiscal yearr.-The existing project was 65.5 per- cent completed. The work remaining to be done to complete the proj- ect is the construction of turning basins Nos. 2 and 4, dredging por- tions of the outer harbor, and deepening, widening, and straightening the Calumet River. The timber breakwater (6,712 feet, completed in 1904; concrete superstructure completed in 1924) is in good condition. The cellular type steel-sheet pile breakwater (5,007 feet, completed in 1935) is in good condition except for one cell which was damaged by the impact of a vessel. Under permit from the Secretary of War, the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. and its predecessors have removed all the south pier (completed in 1897) and rebuilt the frontage with a concrete dock wall 2,961 feet in length. Depths in the entrance chan- nel vary from 29 to 24 feet. The controlling depth in the river is 19 feet up to and including turning basin No. 5, at the head of the proj- ect. Depths are based on soundings taken in March 1941, and are re- ferred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1941 was 0.58 foot above datum. The head of navigation for deep-draft vessels in the river is at turning basin No. 5 at the entrance to Lake Calumel. Dredging in the outer harbor has produced the project depth of 26 feet over an area of about 700 acres. This work is about 80 percent completed. Depths in the portions to be dredged vary from 2 to 25 feet. RIVERS AND HARBORSr---CHICAG0, ILL., DISTRICT 1627 The total cost, all funds, was $7,882,497.56, of which $2,535,018.07 regular funds and $3,036,603.05 Public Works funds, a total of $5,571,- 621.12 was for new work and $2,310,876.44 for maintenance.

INDIANA HARBOR, IND. Location.-Northwestern Indiana (Lake County), on southwest shore of Lake Michigan, 18 miles southeast of Chicago Harbor. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 755.) Previous project.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910. For further details see page 1943 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1520 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for- (a) A'northerly rubble-mound breakwater, 2,520 feet long, an east- erly reinforced concrete-caisson breakwater 1,507 feet long, an exten- sion of this latter breakwater about 2,300 feet to the north, and the construction and placing of a lighthouse crib. (b) An entrance channel generally 800 feet wide, with a depth of 28 feet at the outer end and 26 feet at the inner end. (c) Dredging the anchorage and maneuver basin in the outer harbor to a depth of 26 feet, and the channel between the bulkheaded fills in the outer harbor to a depth of 25 feet. (d) Widening the main stem of the Indiana Harbor Canal to a bottom width of 260 feet with a depth of 22 feet from the outer harbor to the forks, and dredging the Calumet River Branch from the forks to One Hundred and Forty-first Street to the same width and depth. (e) A channel 22 feet deep and 160 feet wide in the Lake George Branch from the forks to White Oak Avenue. (f) The maintenance of a channel 20 feet deep and 80 feet wide in the remainder of the Calumet River Branch south of the north line of One Hundred and Forty-first Street, except the removal of sewage deposits and other city refuse, after completion and acceptance from private parties. (g) The construction of a turning basin at the forks 22 feet deep. That part of the Calumet River Branch Channel from the north line of One Hundred and Forty-first Street to the Grand Calumet River has not as yet been completed by local interests or accepted for main- tenance by the United States. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in barometric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals.

Local cooperation.-The act of August 26, 1937, provides that the enlargement of the Indiana Harbor Canal shall not be undertaken until local interests have furnished a right-of-way 300 feet wide and have constructed substa~ntial bulkheads along the channel on the established lines shown on the map accompanying Rivers and Harbors Committee Document No. 13, Seventy-fifth Congress, first session, pro- vided that the improvement on one side may proceed in any section on fulfillment of the conditions for that side of the section, and provided further, that south of the turning basin at the forks (beginning 450 feet south of the intersection of the present Calumet Branch and main stem bulkhead lines) widening and deepening by the United States shall be done only as the rights-of-way and bulkheads on at least one side of the channel are continuously provided southward from the above limit of the turning basin at the forks. To provide for the 300-foot channel, a parcel of land (of about 4.6 acres), generally 100 feet wide, lying on the east side of the Calumet River branch, commencing at the north side 1630 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 of One Hundred and Forty-first Street and extending northward toward the Forks for a distance of about 2,147 feet, has been conveyed to and accepted by the United States. Local interests have also con- structed about 1,350 feet of bulkhead along the east side of the Calu- met River branch, and state that they will build a bulkhead along the west side from the Forks to One Hundred and Forty-first Street in the near future. Prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is now in existence about 19,000 feet of wharfage along the main channel and the extension toward Lake George; Of this amount, about 11,000 feet along the outer harbor and the inner harbor channel is being used by steel, oil. manufacturing, and terminal companies. About 1,400 feet of wharfage located on the east side of the Calumet River Branch is used as an oil terminal. The wharves now in use are fully equipped and are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-After- dredging soundings in connection with the contract for dredging the Calumet River Branch of the canal showed that there was 333 cubic yards of nonpay overdepth dredging, with a corresponding reduction of $132.53 in contract payments. Government costs in the amount of $436.41 were incurred in connection with this contract. Maintenance.-Miscellaneous surveys cost $6,598.09. After-dredging soundings in connection with the contract for dredging the Calumet River Branch of the canal showed that there were 14,994 cubic yards of nonpay overdepth dredging, with a corresponding reduction of $5,967.61 in contract payments. Government costs in this connection were $173.35. Preliminary work in connection with riprapping caisson breakwater cost $56.09. A total of 1,344.8 tons of riprap stone was furnished and placed, by contract, at a cost of $4,873.58. The total cost was $6,037.38, of which $303.88 was for new work and $5.733.50 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $47,561.28. ondition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 83 per- cent completed. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is widening the main stem of the Indiana Harbor Canal to a bottom width of 260 feet, with a depth of 22 feet from the outer harbor to the forks, and dredging a portion of the Calumet River Branch from the forks to One Hundred and Forty-first Street to the same width and depth, and complete deepening and widening to full project dimensions the upper 3,400 feet of the Lake George Branch. The north breakwater (rubble-mound, 2,520 feet, completed in 1922) is in good condition. The east breakwater (concrete caisson, 1,507 feet, completed in 1926) and northerly extension (rubble-mound, 2,324 feet, completed in 1935) are in good condition. The controlling depths are as follows: 30 to 26 feet in the entrance channel parallel to the rubble-mound breakwater and 25 feet in the outer harbor; from the bulkheads of the steel companies to the five bridges, 23 feet; from the five bridges to the turning basin at the forks, 21 feet; and 23 feet in the turning basin; from the turning basin to a point about 700 feet south in the Calumet River Branch the depth is 17 feet; and from that point to the One Hundred and Forty-first Street Bridge the depth varies from 17 to 2 feet. From the turning basin to 1,000 feet above the Indianapolis Boulevard Bridge the controlling depth RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1631 in the Lake George Branch is 20 feet. Depths in the entrance chan- nel and harbor are based upon soundings taken in 1936 and 1940, respectively. Depths in the channel between the steel companies and the remainder of the canal are based upon soundings taken in April 1941. Depths are referred to low-water datum. The mean level in June 1941 was 0.58 foot above datum. The head of navigation for commercial vessels is at the Baltimore & Ohio Chicago terminal rail- road bridge on the Lake George Branch, about 3 miles from the outer harbor, and at a point about 1,000 feet from the forks on the Calumet River Branch, about 2.4 miles from the outer harbor. The total cost, all funds, was $4,337,551.51, of which $1,954,177.30 regular funds and $1,618,044.49 Public Works funds, a total of $3,572,221.79 was for new work and $765,329.72 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $4,337,469.22, including $1,618,044.4,9 Public Works funds.

MICHIGAN CITY HARBOR, IND. Location.-Northwestern Indiana (in La Porte County), on the southeasterly shore of Lake Michigan, 38 miles in a southeasterly direction from Chicago Harbor. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 75.) For description see page 1482 of Annual Report for 1932. Previous proiects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 4, 1836, and work was continued under this project until 1870. For further details see page 1944 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1524 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for: (a) A detached breakwater, east and west entrance piers, and a dredged channel, 120 to 150 feet wide and 18 feet deep, from Lake Michigan to the upper of two turning basins, which are also to have a depth of 18 feet. (b) The repair and restoration of the westerly 1,000 feet of the old east breakwater. (c) Dredging an anchorage shoreward of the restored section to a depth of 12 feet in the northerly portion and 8 feet in the southerly portion. (d) Enlarging the entrance to this basin through the east pier to a width of 66 feet. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary RIVERS. AND HARBORS--CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1633 fluctuations of 0.1 and 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in baro- metric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infre- quent. intervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $1,220,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $12,000. The existing project is based on the following reports and river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents ..-..-------- East breakwater and old east pier enclosing the Recommendation of a Board of En- outer basin. gineers; Annual Report, 1870, p. 123. ....--- . ....

Terminal facilities.-The terminal facilities at this harbor consist of about 16,000 feet of wharfage, about 1,220 feet of which is owned by the city. About 1,000 feet is in use. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys cost $1,841.75. Repair of the detached and east breakwaters was com- pleted, by contract, at a cost of $14,639.47. Placing ice guard plate on west end of the east breakwater cost $207.56. The total cost was $16,688.78, all maintenance. The expenditures were $60,859.66. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1936. Concrete superstructure was completed on the de- tached breakwater in 1925, 1,304 feet, and on the entrance piers in 1931. All structures are in good condition. Under permit from the Secretary of War, the Northern Indiana Public Service Co. has re- moved 615 feet of the inner end of the west pier and about 719 feet of the bulkhead south of the pier and has replaced them with a steel sheet pile bulkhead, located landward of the former dock line. The area channelward of the new bulkhead was dredged by the permittee to 18 feet. Depths in the entrance channel up to the Franklin Street Bridge vary from 22 to 15 feet. Between the Franklin Street Bridge 1634 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 and the turning basin at the head of the project, the depths vary from 17 to 10 feet, in a channel about 40 feet wide for small boats, except in the draws of the Michigan Central Railroad Co.'s bridge, where the depths are about 8 to 10 feet. The depths in the easterly half of the turning basin at the head of the project vary from 6 to 8 feet. The depths in the remaining portion of the basin are too shallow for small craft. The controlling depths in the outer basin are 12 feet in the northerly portion and 9 feet in the southerly portion. Depths in the entrance channel and to the turning basin at the head of the project are based upon soundings taken during April 1941; depths in the outer basin are based upon soundings taken during May 1941, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1941 was 0.58 foot above datum. The head of navigation for commercial vessels is the turning basin at the head of the project, 1.04 miles above the outer end of the west pier. Above this point depths are sufficient for small launches only. The total cost was $2,345,829.99, of which $1,212,385.20 was for new work and $1,133,444.79 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $2345,781.42.

NOTE.-The limiting draft to the locks is determined by the depth over the breast walls. The Weitzel lock was operated and maintained under the permanent indefinite appropriation from September 1, 1881; the Poe lock from August 3, 1896; the Davis lock from October 21, 1914; and the Fourth lock from September 18, 1919, to the end of the fiscal year 1935. The original State locks were operated and maintained under the same appropriation from June 9, 1881, to November 2, 1886, after which they were destroyed by excavation for the present Poe lock.

The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lakes Superior and Huiron, which are 601.6 and 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. .Each year the St. Marys River rises and falls about 1 foot as meas- ured by the monthly mean levels. Since 1860 the difference between, the highest and lowest monthly mean levels above the locks has been about 3% feet, and below the locks about 7 feet. From day to day the level fluctuates somewhat, due to wind and barometric pressure, such changes frequently amounting to several inches and sometimes to a foot or more. In addition to these changes in level, occasionally a considerable oscillation takes place within 2 or 3 hours, which is somewhat in the nature of a seiche; such changes amounting to over 5 feet have been known to occur within 3 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $32,040,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1910) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, including $374,000 for operation and care of the locks, is $450,000. Tailrace deepening: The River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1915, provided for the deepening and enlargement of the tailrace of the United States power plant between the powerhouse and deep water at the foot of the rapids, a distance of about 2,250 feet, estimated 425144-41--pt. 1, vol. 2- 35 1640 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U: S.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of March 17, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide for a new lock 800 feet long, 80 feet wide, and 30 feet deep, at St. Marys Falls, Mich.; for deepening of the upper and lower approach channels to 27 feet; and for alteration of the piers and approach walls; with such modifications as may be found desirable by the Chief of Engineers; at an estimated cost of $8,000,000 for new work, and $100,000 annually for maintenance and operation in addition to that now required (H. Doec. No. 218, 77th Cong. 1st sess.). Under date of May 17, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended a step-by-step reconstruction of the power facilities at St. Marys Falls. The first step should provide for the installation of approxi- mately 14,000 kilowatts in a new plant located north of the locks of RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISrRICT 1641 St. Mary's Falls, and for appurtenant facilities for the development, transmission, and sale of power. The estimated cost of this step is $3,500,000. The second step should provide for the enlargement of this new plant or for the acquisition and reconstruction of the present power plant of the Michigan Northern Power Co. to provide for an ultimate total installation of approximately 45,000 kilowatts; at an estimated total cost of $10,000,000 for new work and $100,000 annually for maintenance and operation (H. Doc. No. 339, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Termdinal facilitiqs.-This improvement serves the through com- merce between Lake Superior and. the lower lakes, and it has not materially influenced the terminal facilities at the towns along its route, which consist mainly of small docks for the accommodation of local traffic. Several coaling docks for through-traffic accommoda- tion have been established at Sault Ste. Marie, Lime Island, and Detour. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Preliminary sounding and probing surveys, 4- and 30-inch core borings and studies for new locks at St. Marys Falls Canal were made. Maintenance.-Duringthe fiscal year the U. S. derrickboat Mer- ganser removed a total of 7,189 cubic yards, scow measure, of mate- rial from the east and west approaches to the Davis and Fourth locks, course 6 and angle courses 7 and 8, Middle Neebish Channel, and course 6, West Neebish Channel. The U. S. derrickboat No. 3 re- moved a total of 1,325 cubic yards, scow measure, of material from the east and west approaches to the Davis and Fourth locks and from course 1, Bayfield Channel. Examination of existing channels and disposal areas by sounding and sweeping was continued. Auto- matic water level gages were maintained and lake level records were compiled. Operating and care-St. Marys Falls Canal.-The canal was opened to navigation 259 days, from July 1 to December 15, 1940, and from April 1 to June 30, 1941. During that time a total of 19,847 vessels, aggregating 78,439,407 registered tons, and carrying 98,298,099 short tons of freight and 26,606 passengers, passed through the Poe, Davis, and Fourth locks in 13,702 lockages. The canal and locks were operated as required, and necessary repairs and improvements made thereto and to the appurtenant structures and equipment. A total area of 3,475 square feet of concrete surface on miter walls, gate pedestals, and valve-pit floor at west end of Davis lock chipped and renewed, approximately 125 cubic yards of concrete being placed. Construction of barrier gates for protection of the east and west ends of Davis and Fourth locks, and installation of overhead electric wires from administration building to Portage Avenue for con- nection to Michigan Northern Power Co. feeders, for use in emergency, in progress. Equipment provided for military protection of locks and canal operated and maintained.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1645 The project also provides for compensating works, consisting of a number (estimated at 31) of submerged rock sills, with crests 31 feet below datum. The project depths are referred to local low-water datums which correspond to low-water datums for Lakes Huron and St. Clair, which are 578.5 and 573.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The water level of this river fluctuates with the levels of the lakes above and below it, which during the course of each year are subject to a con- sistent seasonal rise and fall, the lowest stages prevailing during the winter months and the highest during the summer months. At the head of St. Clair River, as measured by monthly mean levels, the water may rise and fall each year during the navigation season as much as 1.3 feet. During the past 30 navigation seasons the differ- ence between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels has been about 4.9 feet. Occasional fluctuations due to winds of high velocity may be as much as 3.5 feet in 6 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $6,050,000, including $2,900 000 for construction of submerged sills. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance of dredged channels is $33,500. No expense of maintenance will prob- ably be required for submerged sills.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of May 31, 1935, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide for the construction of a separate down- bound channel across Harsens Island at the Southeast Bend in St. Clair River to a depth of 25 feet below low-water datum and a bot- tom width of 300 feet, at an estimated cost of $1,650,000, with in- crease of $1,000 for annual maintenance of St. Clair River, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (Rivers and Harbors Com- mittee Doc. No. 53, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). Under date of April 29, 1941, the Ch ef of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to provide for a cut-off channel about 31/2 miles long, in the vicinity of Southeast Bend, St. Clair River, Mich., with a depth of 25 feet at low-water datum and bottom width of 300 feet, at an estimated first cost of $2,500,000 with $10,000 annually for maintenance in addition to the amount now required (H. Doc. No. 309, 77th Cong., 1st sess.) Terminal facilities.-This improvement serves the through com- merce between the upper and lower lakes, and it has not materially influenced the terminal facilities at the towns along its route, which consist only of small docks for the accommodation of local traffic, 1646 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 with the exception of several privately owned coal terminals and one public terminal for general cargo, open to all vessels, at Port Huron, Mich. Operations and results during fiscal year--Maintenance.-The U. S. hopper dredges Burton and Taylor removed material in amount of 156,813 cubic yards, bin measure, from shoals in the lower St. Clair River. The U. S. hopper dredge Meade removed material in amount of 10,790 cubic yards, bin measure, from shoals in the upper St. Clair River at the mouth of the Black River. The costs during the fiscal year were $43,520.63, all for maintenance. Total expenditures were $44,317.38.

Previous projects.-Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852, March 2, 1867, and March 3, 1873. For further details see page 2882, Annual Report for 1896, and pages 1957-1958, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1539, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 700 feet wide and 25 feet deep from the mouth of the south channel of the St. Clair River to the open channel in Lake St. Clair, thence increasing to 800 feet width for the same depth in a length of about 2 miles, and maintaining such channel dimensions across Lake St. Clair to head of Detroit River; and for the construction of a stone-riprapped earth dike, 7,221 feet long, on the east side of the mouth of the south channel of St. Clair River. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake St. Clair, which is 573.5 feet above mean tide at New York. As measured by monthly mean levels, the water may rise and fall during the navi- gation season each year as much as 1.4 feet. During the past 30 navigation seasons the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean level has been about 4.1 feet. Occasionally fluctuations due to winds of high velocity may be as much as 1 foot in 6 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $4,902,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000.

The project depths are referred to local low-water datum planes which correspond to low-water data for Lakes St. Clair and Erie, and are taken at 573.5 and 570.5 feet, respectively, above mean tide level at New York. Each year during the navigation season the river rises and falls about 2 feet as measured by the monthly mean levels. In the past 79 years the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels during the navigation season has been about 5 feet. Occa- sional fluctuations in depths of several feet, produced by high easterly or westerly winds, respectively, raise or lower the water level at the west end of Lake Erie, and similarly affect the level of the lower Detroit River; such changes have been as much as 6 feet within 8 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $22,128,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $43,400.

Terminal facilities.--Within tne limits of the port of Detroit are more than 8.4 linear miles of docks fronting on the river, and the 1652 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 appliances for handling freight are adequate, except for the channel west of Grosse Isle. A number of docks are owned by railroads and large manufacturing corporations over which no freight is received except for their own use. Other docks are owned by steamship lines, where preference is given to their own vessels. There are, however, still other docks that are open to the use of all vessels upon equal terms, including two with terminal warehouses. Operations and results during fiscal year-Regular funds-New work.-Contract operations under continuing contract authorization for dredging Trenton Channel were completed July 20, 1940. The total quantity of material removed during the fiscal year amounted to 18,301 cubic yards, pay place measure. The total quantity removed under contract was 600,301 cubic yards, including 1,430 cubic yards of large boulders. Maintenance.-The U. S. derrick boat Erie continued the work, in progress on July 1, 1940, of dredging rock areas to project grade in Amherstburg Channel, and completed operations November 4, 1940. IMaterial in amount of 910 cubic yards, scow measure, was removed ,and 354,064 square yards of channel cleared to a depth of 21 feet -during the fiscal year. The lower Detroit River rock channels were swept during April, May, and June 1941, and obstructions were removed by the U. S. 4errick boat Erie during this period. The U. S. hopper dredge Taylor worked over the lower section of the Livingstone Channel, removing 25,651 cubic yards, bin measure, during the period July 23 to August 1, 1940. The costs during the fiscal year were, new work $35,605.42, and maintenance, $81,643.77, a total of $117,249.19. The total expenditures were $211,967.14. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 99 percent completed. The work remaining to be done is the completion of the Trenton Channel, authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937. The work done has consisted of dredging, rock excavation, and the construction of dikes and compensating works. The dikes and compensating works are in good condition.

CHEBOYGAN HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located on the lower reach of the Che- boygan River and is about 100 miles distant from Alpena, Mich., in a northwesterly direction. The river, which is 51/2 miles long, has its source in Mullet Lake, from which it flows in a northerly direction, emptying into the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Huron. The improved portion is about 11/2 miles in length. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Previous projects.-The original project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details of previous proj- ects, see page 1956 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1546 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 181/ feet deep and 200 feet wide from the Straits of Mackinac to the outer end of the west pier, and between lines parallel to and 25 feet from the docks from that point to the State Road Bridge, and thence 81/2 feet deep and 60 feet wide from this bridge to thle lock in the Cheboygan River, and for a turning basin 15 feet deep, 400 feet wide, and 420 to 670 feet long on the east side of the existing project channel just below First Street. The length of the section included in the project is 11,720 feet, of which 6,000 feet are in the straits. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the level of the river rises and falls about 3 feet. From day to day the level changes somewhat, due to wind and barometric pressure, such changes sometimes amounting to a foot or more. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, was $122,800, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $6,000.

Terminal facilities.-The harbor has one dock of about 1,000 feet length, which is privately owned but open to all vessels upon equal terms. There are also several other docks of less than 100 feet length which are privately owned and used. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-Regular funds-Main- tenance.-Contractdredging over the 18.5-foot project was completed September 20, 1940, and material in amount of 97,139 cubic yards, pay place measure, was removed. A total of 130,139 cubic yards, pay place measure, was removed under the contract. The costs during the fiscal year were $36,826.90. The total expendi- tures were $48,143.79. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939. The outer end of the old slab pier on the western side of the entrance was riprapped in 1921. After-dredging sweeping surveys of September 1940 indicate project depth of 18.5 feet is available over the full channel width from the State Street Bridge to the Straits of Mackinac. Above the State Street Bridge a controlling depth of 5.5 feet, as indicated by an examination made in 1936, is available to the upper limit of the im- provement, about 8,500 feet above the mouth of the river. Light-draft boats navigate a farther distance of 30 miles in a waterway improved by local industries under a State law. The costs for the existing project have amounted to $112,681.82 for new work and $88,412.02 for maintenance, a total of $201,093.84. The total expenditures were $200,593.84. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($2,641.51) will be applied to payment of accounts payable and the balance held in reserve pending settlement of claim.

ALPENA HARBOR, MICH. Location.--Located on the northwest shore of Thunder Bay, Lake Huron. The river has its source in Montmorency and Alpena Coun- ties, Mich., and empties into Thunder Bay. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Previous projects.-Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of Au- gust 14, 1876, and August 2, 1882. For further details see page 1957 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1548 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep, from that depth in Thunder Bay to a point 2,500 feet lakeward of the lighthouse; thence 181/2 feet deep to the upper end of the Fletcher Paper Co. dock in Thunder Bay River; for channel width of 200 feet from the 21-foot contour in Thunder Bay to the outer end of the breakwater, thence tapering to 100 feet in a distance of about 500 feet, thence 100 feet to Second Avenue Bridge and thence 75 feet for 1,600 feet, to upper limit of the improvement; and dredging a turning basin opposite the Fletcher Paper Co. dock, 15 feet deep and about 160,000 square feet in area; for the protection of the channel on the south side by the construction of a rubble mound over a length of about 600 linear feet landward from the end of the old docks and by the con- struction of a rubble breakwater from the same point lakeward for a distance of about 370 feet. The total length of the river included in the project is 4,620 feet, and the improved channel extends 7,500 feet :farther into the bay beyond the lighthouse. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the level of Thunder Bay River rises and falls about 31/ feet. From day to day the level changes somewhat due to wind and barometric pres- sure, such changes frequently amounting to more than a foot. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $340 000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $7,500.

SAGINAW RIVER, MICH. Location.-This river is formed by the union of the Tittabawassee and Shiawassee Rivers, is about 22 miles long, and flows in a northerly direction and into the south end of Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Previowus projects.--Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866, June 23, 1874, June 18, 18 8, March 3, 1879, August 2, 1882, and August 5, 18S6. For further details see page 1957 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1550 of A nnual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deen and 200 feet wide from deep water in Saginaw Bay to the Detroit & Mackinac Railway bridge in Bay City, thence 20 feet deep to the Sixth Street Bridge in Saginaw, Mich., thence 161/2 feet deep to the junction with the Tittabawassee River, a distance of about 291/ miles; and for a turn- ing basin 15 feet deep by 360 feet wide, varying from 690 feet to 420 feet in length, adjacent to the east side of the existing channel between Court and Bristol Street Bridges. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is taken at 578.5 feet above mean tide level at New York. Due to storms the level of the river at its mouth rises and falls about 3 feet. Spring freshets and excessive rains have caused an abnormal rise of as much as 14 feet at Saginaw. Occasionally a considerable change takes place within a few hours, resulting from the raising or lowering of Saginaw Bay by violent winds. 'The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938, is $2,657,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. T1he latest (19,7) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $81,000.

These requirements have been fulfilled for the section lakeward from the Detroit & Mackinac Railway bridge and approved by the Chief of Engineers February 21, 1940. Compliance with the requirements from the Detroit & Mackinac Railway bridge in Bay City to the Sixth Street Bridge in Saginaw is anticipated in the near future. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-General utility docks, and seven docks han- dling petroleum products, all privately owned, are located at Essex- ville and Bay City. The aggregate length of these docks is about 3,000 feet. Similar docks with a total length of about 1,500 feet are located in the upper river at Saginaw. In addition, the Chevrolet Motor Co. operates an industrial dock about 600 feet long and the Saginaw Dock & Terminal Co. operates a private dock about 900 feet long at Saginaw, and the Consumers Power Co. owns and operates a dock about 1,100 feet long at Milwaukee. Turning basins have been constructed by the owners opposite the latter two docks. These termi- nal facilities are adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-Regular funds--New 'work.-Contractdredging of the 21-foot project was completed August 24, 1940. Material in amount of 451,762 cubic yards, pay place meas- ure, was removed during the fiscal year. The total quantity removed under contract was 761,762 cubic yards, pay place measure. Surveys, including soundings, borings, and rights-of-way, over the 20-foot proj- ect were made during the period July to October 1940. Maintenance.-Sounding and sweeping surveys were made over the dipper dredge dump grounds in Saginaw Bay during August and September 1940. The costs during the fiscal year were: New work, $135,516 06; maintenance, $6,747.47; a total of $142,263.53. The total expenditures were $194,112.88. Condition at the end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 76 percent completed. The work remaining to be done is the deepening of the channel between the Sixth Street Bridge in Saginaw and the Detroit & Mackinac Railway bridge in Bay City, authorized in 1938. The controlling depths are as follows: 21 feet for 200-foot width from Saginaw Bay to the Detroit & Mackinac Railway bridge in Bay City; thence 18.5 feet to Sixth Street in Saginaw; thence 16.5 feet for a 1'0- foot width to Court Street; thence 8 feet to the upper limit of the project. The costs have been $1.834,127.78 for new work and $749,177.30 for maintenance, a total of $2,583,305.08. The total expenditures were $2,583,289.08. 1660 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1661 8. HARBOR OF REFUGE AT HARBOR BEACH, LAKE HURON, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located on the west shore of Lake Huron. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Existing project.-This provides for the formation of a harbor of refuge protected by stone-filled timber-crib breakwaters-the main breakwater being 4,716 feet long, the north one 1,204 feet long, the original north entrance, 304 feet wide, being reopened to a depth of .10 feet, and the south breakwater 1,956 feet long; for dredging the main entrance, 600 feet wide, to a depth of 23 feet; and for dredging an anchorage area approximately 3,000 feet long by 1,200 feet wide to a depth of 21 feet. The project depths are referred to a stage 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The normal elevation of the water surface in Lake Huron varies from year to year. During each year the level is subject to a seasonal rise and fall, the lowest stages prevailing during winter and the highest during summer months. Such yearly changes, measured by monthly mean levels, may be as much as 1.8 feet. Dur- ing the past 30 navigation seasons the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels during the navigation season has been about 4.9 feet. Occasional fluctuations, due to winds of high velocity, may be as much as 2 feet in 8 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1917 was $1,658,550. The latest (1917) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1871 Adopted the site and made provision for the har- Annual Report 1873, p. 292. bor.

Jan. 21, 1927 Removal of portion of breakwater in the interest of sanitation. Terminal facilities.-There is but one dock about 500 feet long. This dock, privately owned, is open to all vessels upon equal terms and is considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1928. The work consisted in the construction of three breakwaters, the dredging of an entrance channel, and the dredging of an anchorage area about 72 acres in extent under the protection of the breakwaters. The breakwaters were originally built in 1885, and since that time it has been necessary to top them with concrete and to protect about 6,170 feet of the outer face with heavy riprap. The north entrance was closed by rubble mound in 1920 and reopened to about 10 feet depth in 1928. Dredging was completed in 1922. The harbor has controlling depths of 20.5 feet at its entrance and about 18 feet within the anchorage area, as shown by survey of 1662 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 1939. The breakwaters are in fair condition, except that riprap along lake face of main breakwater needs repair and some fenders on harbor face of main breakwater need replacing. The costs and expenditures have been $1,200,598.17 for new work and $1,469,741.74 for maintenance, a total of $2,670,339.91. Proposed operations.-There are no funds available for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1942. Maintenance of project dimensions require periodical dredging. The sum of $20,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943, for this work.

CO 9. BLACK RIVER, MICH. Location.-This river has its source in the northern part of Sanilac County, Mich., is about 60 miles long, and flows in a southeasterly direction into the St. Clair River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 43.) Previous projects.-Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872. and August 11, 1888. For further details see page 1441 of Annual Report for 1916, and 1554 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 20 feet deep from deep water in St. Clair River to the Grand Trunk Western Rail- road bridge, 160 feet wide at the mouth, decreasing to 100 feet about 800 feet from the mouth, thence 100 feet wide for 2,600 feet, decreas- ing to 75 feet for a distance of 4,800 feet at upper end; widening to 100 feet two bends, one at the foot of Twelfth Street, and the other below the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge; and for a settling basin 75 feet wide and 20 feet deep, beginning at the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge in Port Huron and extending up- stream a distance of about 2,300 feet. RIVERS AND HARBORS---DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1663 The length of the section included in the project is 10,500 feet. The project depth is referred to local low-water datum in the St. Clair River at the mouth of the Black River, which is 577.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the level of the river rises and falls from 4 to 6 feet, due to the fact that spring freshets raise the level considerably above the normal. The level also changes from day to day, due to winds, such changes amounting to several inches. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, but including $43,000 to be contributed by local interests is $166 500. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $9,000.

Contribute one-half of the initial cost of the improvement. 2. Provide all lands or easements necessary and requisite to the execution of the project. 3. Remove the existing Tenth Street Bridge, or replace it with a satisfactory structure. 4. Furnish satisfactory assurances that the United States will be protected from all claims for damages incident to the improvements. None of the above requirements has been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are docks on both sides of Black River, near its mouth, and between these docks and the upper limit of im- provement there are five other docks varying in length from 100 to 500 feet. All docks aie privately owned and are restricted to the use of the owners. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Overations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-Contract dredging for the removal of shoaled material lying above the 19-foot grade in a portion of the settling basin was completed August 19, 1940. Material in amount of 18,938 cubic yards, pay place measure, was removed during the fiscal year. A total of 26,738 cubic yards, pay place measure, was removed under the contract. The costs were $24 356.99 for maintenance and the total expenditures were $26,649.08. Condition at the end of the fscal year.-All work except that au- thorized by the act of August 30, 1935, has been completed. The con- trolling depths are as follows: 17 feet over a central width of 60 1664 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 feet from the mouth to the Grand Trunk Western Railway bridge; thence 16 feet over a width of 60 feet to a point 1,900 feet upstream; thence 9 feet to the upper limit of the project. The costs and expenditures have been $54,474.29 for new work and $212,403.26 for maintenance, a total of $266,877.55. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($9,296.26) will be applied to maintenance dredging by United States hopper dredge, 0.4 month, during June 1942. Maintenance of project dimensions requires annual maintenance dredging. The sum of $9,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943, for this work. No new work is proposed since it is not expected that conditions of local cooperation will be fulfilled in time to permit the work to be undertaken during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943.

ROUGE RIVER, MICH. Location.-The river rises in Oakland and Washtenaw Counties, Mich., is about 30 miles long, and flows in an easterly direction into the Detroit River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 415.) RIVERS AND HARBORS -- DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1665 Previous projects.-Authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 11, 1888 (Annual Report for 1887, pp. 2275-2278); joint reso- lution of April 11, 1898 (H. Doc. No. 138, 55th Cong., 2d sess., and Annual Report for 1898, p. 2605), and the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907 (H. Doc. No. 289, 59th Cong., 1st sess.). For further details see page 1530 of Annual Report for 1932 and page 1558 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) A channel 21 feet deep from that depth in Detroit River through the Short Cut Canal, 400 feet wide at the entrance, tapering to 200 feet in a distance of 2,000 feet, thence 200 feet wide to Maples Road. including a turning basin, 21 feet deep, near the upper end of the project. (b) A channel 25 feet deep from that depth in Detroit River through the mouth of the old channel upstream for a distance of 1,300 feet, with a width of 240 feet at the mouth, tapering to 100 feet at a distance of 800 feet from the mouth, thence 18 feet deep and 100 feet wide for a distance of 1,425 feet, thence 17 feet deep and 100 feet wide to the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad bridge, a dis- tance of about 1,550 feet, thence 21 feet deep and 100 feet wide, flar- ing to 130 feet at the north end of the Peerless Portland Cement Co. wharf, thence 21 feet deep, with width flaring from 130 feet to 150 feet at the junction of the old channel with the Short Cut Canal, suitably widened at the bend opposite the Detroit Sulphite Pulp & Paper Co. plant. The distance from Detroit River to the head of the project at Maples Road is about 31/2 miles via the Short Cut Canal, and about 41/2 miles via the old channel. The project depths are referred to local low-water datum in the Detroit River at the mouth of the Rouge River, which is 572.2 feet above mean tide at New York. The level of this river, except during floods, changes with the level of the Detroit River, which fluctuates to an average extent of about 1.5 feet during the navigation season. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $820,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $26,000.

No. 19, 72d Cong., 1st sess. 3 Including Emergency Relief Administration work authorized May 28, 1935. 1666 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Local cooperation.-The act approved August 30, 1935, provided that no Federal expenditures should be made on the improvements in the old channel until local interests had provided, without cost to the United States, all necessary rights-of-way and had furnished guaranties, satisfactory to the Secretary of War, protecting the United States against all damages to adjacent lands and property which may result from dredging operations. Except for the guaranties pro- tecting the United States against damages to adjacent lands and property along the 25-foot channel, this requirement has not been complied with. All prior requirements fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is an iron-ore dock near the river's mouth equipped with unloading machinery. The Ford Motor Co. has an ore and coal dock near the head of the river improvement, with improved type of unloaders. Six docks fully equipped, for han- dling oil and oil products, also one dock equipped for handling gypsum rock, have been constructed along the river bank. These docks have good railroad connections. In addition there are six docks owned by sand and gravel companies which have unloading machinery, one pulpwood dock, and two lumber docks. There are also a number of smaller docks for launches. All docks along the river are privately owned and understood to be restricted to use of the owners. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-The U. S. hopper dredge Meade, operating over the entire project during the period July 3 to August 24, 1940, removed material in amount of 175,243 cubic yards, bin measure. The costs were $34,975.72, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $36,282.97. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The 21-foot project via Short Cut Canal to upper limit of improvement was completed in 1923. The work consisted in dredging and in construction of five dolphins at the mouth of the Short Cut Canal. Contract work on the 25-foot project, at the mouth of the river in the old channel, was completed with funds allotted from the Emergency Relief Administration. Due to the lack of funds, contract operations were restricted to a distance of 1,150 feet upstream from the mouth of the old channel. All other work provided for in the act of August 30, 1935, relative to the old channel is held in abeyance until local interests have complied with the requirements as to local cooperation. The controlling depth in the 21-foot project is 20 feet for a mini- mum width of about 100 feet from Dix Avenue Bridge to Detroit River via Short Cut Canal. The controlling depth in the 25-foot project is 21 feet, for a distance of 1 300 feet from the mouth of the old channel; from this point to the junction with the Short Cut Canal the controlling depth is 17 feet over a minimum width of 60 feet. The last survey, made in August 1940, shows depths in the turning basin of 21 feet except near shore. All bridaes have been altered in accordance with the requirements of law. The turning basin at the head of the improvement has been completed. The head of navigation is cetermined by a fixed bridge about 2,600 feet above the upper end of the improvements.

MONROE HARBOR, MICH. Location.-The harbor is located on the lower reach of the Raisin River, which empties into Lake Erie at Monroe, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 3.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep and 300 feet wide in Lake Erie, a distance of about 15,800 feet; thence 21 feet deep and 200 feet wide, with necessary additional width at bends, in Raisin River, for a d'stance of about 8,200 feet; thence 9 feet deep, and 100 feet wide to the lower wharves at Monroe, a dis- tance of about 3,800 feet. The project also provides for riprapped protecting dikes on each side of the channel extending lakeward for a distance of about 1,200 feet; for a turning basin with an area of about 22 acres and depth of 18 feet. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The level of the river varies with that of Lake Erie, which fluctuates irregularly from year to year, the greatest annual fluctuation being about 21/4 feet and the least about three-fourths of a foot as measured by monthly mean levels. The estimate of cost for new work, rev'sed in 1935, is $1,200,000, including $300,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance 's $35,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and har- bor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Feb. 24, 18351 9-foot channel, protected by revetments and piers_ Annual Report, 1872, p. 237.

Terminal facilities.-At the city of Monroe are some small privately owned docks. These docks are open to all vessels upon equal terms. The Newton Steel Co. has constructed a private dock. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. RIVERS AND HARBORS---DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1669 Operations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-TheU. S. hopper dredge Burton, during the period August 1 to October 1, 1940, removed material in amount of 185,348 cubic yards, bin measure. The costs were $40,353.71 for maintenance. The expenditures were $40,353.88. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed except for the riprapping of the protecting dikes on each side of the channel, which is not considered necessary in the interests of naviga- tion. A survey made in May 1941 shows controlling depths as fol- lows: 20 feet from Lake Erie to the Newton Steel Co. dock, thence 18.5 feet to the lower end of the turning basin, thence 14 feet to the upper end of the 21-foot project, and 16 feet in the turning basin, ex- cept near shore. The costs have amounted to $687,339.64 United States funds and $300,000 contributed by the Port Commission of Monroe, a total of $987,339.64 for new work. The costs for maintenance have amounted to $274,032.30 United States funds, $20,000 contributed by the Con- solidated Paper Co., and $10,000 by the River Raisin Paper Co., mak- ing a total of $304,032.30 for maintenance, a total cost of $1,291,371.94. The expenditures were $961,311.94 United States funds and $330,000 contributed funds, a total of $1,291,311.94. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($26,594.55) will be applied to accounts payable ($60) and to maintenance dredging with U. S. hopper dredge Burton, 1.4 months, August 1941 and June 1942. The channel in the Raisin River and its entrance channel in Lake Erie are subject to continual shoaling. Deep-draft vessels plying these channels require that full project dimensions be maintained. Funds in the amount of $35,000 can be profitably expended for main- tenance dredging by United States hopper dredge during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943.

TOLEDO HARBOR, OHIO Location.-This harbor comprises the lower 7 miles of Maumee River and the channel about 9 miles long through Maumee Bay to Lake Erie. The Maumee River has its source in northern Indiana and empties into Lake Erie. The harbor is located at the westerly end of Lake Erie, 99 miles westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 3.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866, June 14, 1880, July 5, 1884, August 5, 1886, July 13, 1892, and August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1959 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1565 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 25 feet deep and 500 feet wide from deep water in Lake Erie to the mouth of the Maumee River, with a width of 300 feet on each side of center dike in the bay channel; for a channel 25 feet deep in Maumee River to the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad dock, 400 feet wide from the mouth of the river to the Fassett Street Bridge, and 200 feet wide above that point; for a turning basin at the upper end, 18 feet deep and 8.25 acres in area; and for a stone-revetted earth dike, 1,000 feet long, to form a founda- tion for range lights in Maumee Bay. The project depths are 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 4 feet above to 2 feet below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 9 feet above to 7.6 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1936, was $5,110,400, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $125,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and har- bor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS---DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1671 Act Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 Auxiliary channel above Fassett St. Bridge, and H.

(Con- project the auxiliary channel above Fassett St. tains latest published map.) Bridge. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The city of Toledo has provided a lagoon near the mouth of the river suitable for the winter mooring of vessels. Three large railroad terminals for the handling of ore and 4 for coal are open to shippers of these commodities; 1 fuel dock and 3 docks with elevator facilities for handling grain. Three pipe-line docks for shipment of oil, 1 pipe-line dock for receipt of gasoline, and 3 fish docks are private. Two package-freight terminals are open to all vessels on equal terms. Considerable wharf frontage is owned by railroads, which is available for the transshipment of miscellanel- ous cargoes, such as lumber, etc., to and from cars. Of 10 sand and gravel docks, 2 are for public use. Four docks at street ends are owned by the city of Toledo, at which freight may be loaded or un- loaded free of charge, no storage being allowed. Terminal facilities are regarded as adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fscal year-Maimtenance.-United States hopper dredges operating over the project during the periods July 1 to October 31, 1940, and June 27 to 30, 1941, removed material in amount of 493,231 cubic yards, bin measure. A field office was maintaineed for supervision of the harbor and miscellaneous surveys and inspections. The costs were $113,421.50 for maintenance. The expenditures were $123,524.14. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1936. Shoaling has resulted in a controlling depth of 23 feet in the 25-foot project. Depths of about 16 feet are available in the turning basin. The costs have been as follows: Regular funds: New work and maintenance prior to 1903 (not separable)__ $1,410, 262. 25 Maintenance since 1903 ----------- 2, 316, 561. 82 Total __ _-- --- --- 3, 726, 824. 07 Public Works funds: New work ------- 3, 690, 000, 00 Total, all funds---------------- 7, 416, 824. 07 The expenditures were $3,723,545.66 regular funds and $3,690,000 Public Works funds, a total of $7,413,545.66. Proposed operatios.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($146,593.93) will be applied to accounts payable ($3,278.41) and to maintenance dredging with U. S. hopper dredges Savannah and Taylor, 7 dredge months, July to November 1941. 425144--41-pt. 1, vol. 2-- 37 1672 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 The Maumee River and Bay Channels are subject to continued shoal- ing; to provide for safe navigation of deep-draft vessels carrying a large volume of commerce into and out of this port, project dimen- sions should be maintained. Funds in the amount of $125,000 can be profitably expended for maintenance during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943, to be applied to maintenance dredging over a period of about 6 months.

PORT CLINTON HARBOR, OHIO Location.-Port Clinton Harbor comprises the lower half mile of the Portage River, which empties into Lake Erie at a point 72 miles westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. It is from 200 to 300 feet wide. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 3.) RIVERS AND HARBORS--DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1673 Existing project.-This provides for parallel stone and pile jetties at the mouth of the river, the east jetty 2,200 feet long and the west jetty 1,980 feet long, extending to the 10-foot contour in the lake, and for dredging a channel to a depth of 10 feet and 100 feet wide, widening at the bridge to 200 feet for a length of 800 feet, the length of the channel to be 5,000 feet, extending from 2,100 feet outside the jetties up to the highway bridge. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctu- ations of water level are from 3 feet above to 2 feet below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations produced by wind and other causes are from 6.5 feet above to 3 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1883, was $90,000. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 10, 1872 (Annual Report for 1875, p. 295). For latest published map see House Document No. 815, Sixty-first Congress, second session. Terminal facilities.-There are five private docks and one public fish dock, one private sand dock, and one public fueling dock which is also used as a private lumber and cargo coal terminal. One dock, at the- foot of Madison Avenue, is owned by the village of Port Clinton and is open to the public. One shipyard does some business in the building of small boats and launches. Terminal facilities are regarded as adequate for the needs of existing commerce. Operation and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-A sound- ing and boring survey was made over the project in May 1941. The costs and expenditures during the fiscal year were $1,156.82. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1893. The work done consisted in the construction of two jetties, completed in 1883, and in dredging a channel from the lake to the highway bridge, completed in 1893. The jetties are in poor condition and are in need of extensive repairs. The controlling depth of the channel in the lake is 8.0 feet, as shown by survey of May 1941. The head of navigation for light-draft boats is about 12 miles above the mouth of the river. The costs and expenditures have amounted to $71,949.86 for new work and maintenance prior to 1894 and $36,710.42 for maintenance since 1894, a total of $108,660.28. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($35,843.18) will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Completion of contract dredging, to be advertised in July 1941; estimated completion date, October 1941-------------------- $22, 000.00 Repairs to jetties by United States derrick boat during August and September 1941--------------------------------------- 13, 843. 18 Total------------------------------- ----------------- 35, 843. 18 No work is proposed for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943. 1674 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Location.-Sebewaing River drains an area of about 105 square miles in Huron and Tuscola Counties on the westerly side of the Thumb area of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, and discharges into Saginaw Bay, an arm of Lake Huron, about 20 miles northeast of the mouth of Saginaw River. Existing project.-This provides for the enlarging of the present channel of the Sebewaing River through the village of Sebewaing, Mich., to a capacity of 7,500 cubic feet per second from the junction of the Columbia and State drains to a point 4,500 feet lakeward of the railroad bridge near the mouth, for altering the railroad bridge and three highway bridges to permit free passage of ice, and for removal of the present dike on the south side of the channel lakeward of the railroad bridge. The plan of improvement proposed will provide protection for the village of Sebewaing from floods with a frequency of occurrence of once in 15 years and with a magnitude greater than the maximum flood of record. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved August 18, 1941. (See H. Doc. No. 286, 76th Cong., 1st sess., which contains the latest published maps.) The estimated cost of construction is $250,000. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. Local interests have signified their willingness to cooperate in the plan of improve- ment.

SANDUSKY HARBOR, OHIO Location.-This harbor is located in the southeasterly portion of Sandusky Bay, 55 miles westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 365.) 1680 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Previous projects.--Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 11, 1844; June 23, 1866; March 3, 1873; July 5, 1884; August 11, 1888; and August 18, 1894. (For further details, see p. 1960 of Annual Report for 1915, and p. 1574 of Annual Report for 1938.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 400 feet wide and 21 feet deep from deep water in Lake Erie through Sandusky Bay, a distance of about 31/2 miles, to the city water-front docks, thence along the water front, a channel about 7,800 feet in length, 300 feet wide, 22 feet deep, ending in a turning basin generally 800 feet wide, 22 feet deep; for a dike constructed with the excavated rock on the north side of the channel and basin; for protection works consisting of a stone jetty on the easterly side of the channel extending north- easterly from Cedar Point, a distance of 6,000 feet, with suitable pier- head; a short stone spur at Cedar Point; and for the revetment of the slope adjacent to the channel in the vicinity of the front range light with a brush-and-stone mattress. 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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 Construction of channel protection works_ __-___ tH. Doec.

Recommended modiflcations 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 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 RIVERS AND HARBORSr--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1681 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 Railroad 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 cooperation (H. Doc. No. 328, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.---Fullycomplied 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 parallel to and about 2,800 feet from the dock channel to a junction with the straight channel through Sandusky Bay. Located on the dock chan- nel are 12 private terminals for the handling of stone, sand and gravel, fish, miscellaneous freight, and passengers. The city of Sandusky owns a pier and 2 small boat basins. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 8, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.--Government plant and hired labor removed 138,750 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the channels and basin at a cost of $46,857.11 for maintenance. The expenditure was $46,895.26. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935. The protecting works are generally in good condition. 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 $3,277,924.32 of which $2,597,258.21, including $599,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $680,666.11 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,277,984.63, including $599,500 Public Works funds. In addition, $325,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the accounts receivable at the end of the year will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Dredging the straight and outer bar channels by United States hopper dredge, July 1941 _____----------------------------- $10,866.01 Sweeping and removing obstructions from the channels and turning basin by Government plant, April and May 1942- 5, 940. 00 Total----------- ------------------------------- 16, 806. 01 Redredging and sweeping are required annually and repairs to the jetty are necessary.

Recommended m.odifcations of project.-Underdate of January 22, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide for a turning basin 20 feet deep in the bend of the Black River immediately upstream from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co.'s dock, at an estimated first cost of $30,000, with $1,500 annually for maintenance in addition to the amount now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 161, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-One iron ore and one coal terminal, together with dock space for storage of sand, transshipment of lumber, etc., to or from cars, are open to the public. Extensive docks of the Na- tional Tube Co. handle iron ore, limestone, and sand, and are not open to the public. Two sand and two fish docks are privately owned. The American Shipbuilding Co. has drydocks and facilities for building 425144-41-pt. 1, vol. 2--38 1688 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 and repairing the largest lake vessels. The city of Lorain owns a public dock without rail connections which is open to the public. The facilities are regarded as adequate for existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 8, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Contract operations for widening the Black River in the vicinity of the Erie Avenue Bridge were 28 percent completed at the end of the year, 5,100 cubic yards of material were removed, and the cost for the year was $9,968.20. 1laintenance.-Governmentplant and hired labor removed 128,371 cubic yards of material from the Black River channel and turning basin and the outer harbor at a cost of $38,670.32. The total cost for the year was $48,638.52, of which $9,968.20 was for new work and $38,670.32 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $40,709.06. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 95 percent completed. An outer harbor has been provided by construct- ing breakwaters and pierheads completed in 1915, except the extension of the west breakwater to shore, which was completed in 1921. A channel through the outer harbor to the entrance to Black River was deepened to 25 feet in 1937, also a channel 16 feet deep to the munic- ipal pier was provided in 1936. The entrance to the river has been improved by the construction of parallel piers completed in 1909. The river channel and turning basin was deepened to project depths in 1937 and 1938. Rectification of two bends and enlarging the turning basin was completed in 1934. The work to be done to complete the project is the deepening of a portion of the outer harbor and the com- pletion of the existing contract for widening the Black River Channel in the vicinity of the Erie Avenue Bridge. At the end of the fiscal year the harbor works were generally in good condition. The controlling depth was 24 feet in the channel through the outer harbor and in the river channel to the upper end of National Tube Co.'s dock, 14 feet in the outer harbor channel to the municipal pier, and 17 feet in the turning basin opposite the National Tube Co.'s dock, all at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $2,939,715.68, of which $2,411,290.55, including $165,000 Public Works funds, was for new work and $528,425.13, including $76,300 Public Works funds, for maintenance. The total expenditure was $2,933,778.26, including $241,300 Public Works funds. In addition, $3,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work.

Recomnmended 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 co- operation. (H. Doc. No. 232, 76th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation.-Wideningof the channels in the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers is subject to the conditions that local interests defray 1694 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. St. ARMY, 1941 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 dredging thereof. Cuts or partial cuts may be made before the related railroad bridges are modified or rebuilt when in the opinion of the Chief of Engineers such procedure will be advantageous to navigation. Conditions for some of the channel cuts have been complied with and approved August 14, 1940, August 23, 1940, December 3, 1940, and March 27, 1941. Condi- tions for dredging 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 sulfur. In general, the terminals operated 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 terminals. The United States Engineer Department owns a wharf at the foot of East Ninth Street, which is private. The facilities are considered adequate for the exist- ing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 5, revised 1939, Corps of Engi- neers.) Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Widening of Cuyahoga River was continued by contract, 538,003 cubic yards of materials being removed, at a cost of $231,410.06. Government plant and hired labor did preliminary work in connection with other con- tracts for widening the Cuyahoga River at a cost of $3,735.18. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 395,539 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the outer harbor and entrance channel at a cost of $'61,606.90 and repaired the west river pier at a cost of $1,89'6.64. Maintenance of C'uyahoga and Old Rivers was continued and 382,296 cubic yards of material were removed by contract at a cost of $166,481. The total cost for the year was $465,129.78, of which $235,145.24 was for new work and $229,984.54 for maintenance. The total ex- penditure was $388,198.40. Condition, at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 93 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 RIVERS AND HARBORSr--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1695 the entrance channel; over the remaining portion of the east basin a depth of 23 feet at low-water datum has generally been secured. A portion of the channel in Cuyahoga River was widened in 1939 and 1940. Removal of 150 feet of easterly end of west breakwater and construction of 400 feet of spur breakwater to protect the gap in the west breakwater shorearm was completed in 1935. A concrete base for a light tower was constructed at east end of east breakwater in 1917 in lieu of the east-end pierhead. The harbor structures are generally in good condition. The breakwater requires some minor repairs. Widening of the remaining portions of the channels in the Cuya- hoga and Old Rivers and the enlargement of the turning basin located three-fourths of a mile downstream 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 en- trance channel, through the west basin, and between the piers was 25 feet and in the channel through the east basin 23 feet. Depths else- where 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 $9,399,770.51, of which $6,033,408.34, including $616,767.03 Public Works funds, was for new work and $3,366,362.17, including $125,000 Public Works funds, for maintenance. The total expenditure was $9,290,332.81, 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 Annual Report for 1915, and page 1590 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing 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- RIVERS AND HARBORSr--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1697 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 sub- structure with concrete superstructure, the inner 674 feet not main- tained. (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 extending 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 fluctua- tions 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, exclu- sive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $27,000.

ARMY, 1941 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. (See Lake Series No. 9, 1939, Corps of Engineers.) 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 completed and the cost for the year was $41,175.87. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 144,290 cubic yards of material from the channel for restoration of project depths at a cost of $28,645.37. The total cost for the year was $69,821.24, of which $41,175.87 was: for new work and $28,645.37 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $138,965.39. Condition at end of ffsal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1940. The controlling depth is 25 feet in the outer harbor, 24 feet in the river channel for 2,000 feet upstream from the outer end of the east pier, thence 21 feet in the river channel upstream to the project limit, and 18 feet in the turning basin. All depths are referred to low-water datum. The harbor works are generally in good condition. The total cost of the existing project was $3,061,386.46, of which $2,496,653.97, including $187,772.04 Public Works funds, was for new work and $564,732,49 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,061,858.12, including $187,772.04 Public Works funds.

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 and stone superstructure. (b) A west pierhead of timber-crib substructure and concrete superstructure. (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 breakpter. (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 breakwa feet apart; thence a channel of 25-foot depth and 1,100-fot' bottom width through the outer harbor to the old inner 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 t-he New York Central Railroad Co.'s slip. (f) Maintenance to 21-foot depth of that portion of the outer har- bor between the deepened channel and a merdian 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 fluctu- ations 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.

Recom~nnded nmodifications of project.-Under date of April 30, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide a channel 16 feet deep with a bottom width of 100 feet to a point 1,550 feet upstream from the southerly boundary of the turning basin, at an estimated first cost of $38,000, with $2,000 annually for maintenance, in addition to the amount now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 321, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). 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 privately 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. (See Lake Series No. 9, 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results diring fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 70,914 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depths in the outer harbor and river channel at a cost of $37,858.46 for maintenance. The expenditure was $94,581.02. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 90 percent completed. The west breakwater was completed in 1915 except 580 feet of the inner end which was completed in 1923, and 600 feet of the outer end, which was completed in 1935. The east break- water was completed in 1915; 800 feet of the westerly end was re- moved, and a lakeward extension of 700 feet was completed in 1935. The old inner east breakwater 1,200 feet long was completed in 1909, and the westerly 600 feet was removed in 1913 and 350 feet in 1935. 1702 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 The 18- and 16-foot sections of the river channel and the turning basin were deepened to project depths in 1939. The channel through the outer harbor, the approach channel to the New York Central Railroad Co.'s slip and the channel in Ashtabula River to a pint 2,000 feet upstream from its mouth was deepened to project depths in 1940. The harbor works are generally in good condition except that the breakwaters require minor repairs. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is the conditional removal of the east inner breakwater. The portion of the outer harbor to be maintained to 21 feet has not been deepened to that depth, shale rock being above project depth over a portion of the area. The controlling depth is 24 feet in the channel through the outer harbor, 20 feet in the east basin, 24 feet in the approach channel to the New York Central Railroad Co.'s slip, and 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. The total cost of the existing project was $3,364,511.30, of which $2,854,004.24, including $536,648.38 Public Works funds, was for new work and $510,507.06 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,364,341.86, including $536,648.38 Public Works funds.

CONNEAUT HARBOR, OHIO Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Conneaut River, 73 miles easterly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart, No. 33.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1829, July 13, 1892, February 24, 1893, and June 3, 1896. For fur- ther details, see page 1964 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1597 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-Thisprovides for the following: (a) An outer harbor, the deepened portion of which is about 142 acres in area formed by a system of breakwaters comprising a west breakwater 5,965 feet long, 'connected with the shore, with a 100-foot gap, 1,670 feet from shore, all of rubble-mound construction, and an east breakwater 3,675 feet long, 2.625 feet of which is rubble-mound construction and 1,050 feet of timber cribs with concrete super- structure. (b) A west breakwater pierhead of timber-crib substructure with concrete superstructure. (c) An east breakwater light foundation of concrete superstructure founded on the outer end of the rubble mound. (d) An entrance 600 feet wide between the west breakwater pier- head and the east breakwater light foundation. (e) An east pier 1,008 feet long of timber-crib substructure and concrete superstructure. 425144-41-pt. 1, vol. 2---39 1704 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 (f) A depth of 25 feet in soft material and 26 feet in hard material in the eastern portion of the outer harbor and for a depth of 20 feet in the remainder of the outer harbor, consisting of a triangular area with its apex about 900 feet southerly from the west breakwater pier- head, its southeasterly angle 800 feet westerly from the west pier, its southwesterly angle 100 feet from the west 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 wind and other causes, are from 4 feet above to 1 foot below low-water datum. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $3,818,300, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $11,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25,1910 Extension of east breakwater; construction of H. Doc.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Local interests maintain the river channel to provide access to terminals in the river, comprising one coal terminal which is open to shippers of coal, one iron-ore and one steel-products terminal which are private. The city of Conneiaut owns a terminal on the outer harbor which is open to the public. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 9, 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor repaired the east and west piers at a cost of $6,151.93, and removed 62,689 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the outer harbor at a cost of $14,738.71. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $20,890.64. The total expenditure was $20,715.95. RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1705 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 86 percent completed. Under existing project, a length of 4,445 feet of the new west breakwater was completed in 1916; the old east break- water, 1,050 feet long, has been extended shoreward 800 feet (com- pleted 1911) and lakeward 900 feet (completed 1923). The west breakwater was extended shoreward 1,670 feet (completed 1934). Extension of the west breakwater 830 feet lakeward, the east break- water 925 feet lakeward, and removal of the lake arm of the west breakwater were completed in 1935; 642 feet of the old west break- water was removed in 1916 and the remaining 600 feet in 1925. Two piers have been constructed at the mouth of the Conneaut River. Removal of west pier and 459 feet of east pier was completed in 1934. The east pier is now 1,008 feet long. The entrance channel through the outer harbor and between the piers was dredged to 20 feet in 1919 and deepended to 25 and 26 feet in 1938 except for a 320-foot wide strip on its westerly side. The inner end of the west breakwater requires extensive repairs. The controlling depth in the channel through the outer harbor is 25 feet below low-water datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to deepen a 320-foot-wide strip on the westerly side of the deepened channel through the outer harbor to 25 feet in soft material and 26 feet in hard material, and to deepen the remainder of the outer harbor to 20 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $3,522,774.66, of which $3,267,838.96, including $1,010,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $254,935.70 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,523,599.97, including $1,010,500 Public Works funds.

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.) RIVERS AND HARBORSt--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1707 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- 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 1941, is $846,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1708 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Recommended modiflcations of project.--Under date of December 28, 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.-Providinga channel to the westerly docks was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, subject to the condition 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. All prior conditions have 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 harbor basin were completed and the cost for the year was $127,659.55. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 64,735 cubic yards of material from the channels and basin at a cost of $20,515.55. RIVERS AND HARBORS---BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1709 The total cost for the year was $148,175.10, of which $127,659.55 was for new work and $20,515.55 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $149,045.13. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 91 per- cent completed. The breakwater and piers were completed in 1915, about 3,050 feet of rubble mound protection work on the peninsula was completed in 1921 and about 5,281 feet of steel-sheet piling pro- tection work with stone facing was completed in 1930. The 18-foot harbor basin was deepened in 1900. Widening and straightening of the entrance channel was completed in 1936. The deepening of the entrance channel and the approach channel to the easterly docks was completed in 1939. The 21-foot harbor basin was deepened in 1940. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the dredging of a channel from the 21-foot harbor basin to natural deep water in the bay; the dredging of an approach channel to the westerly docks; deepening the remaining portion of the approach channel to the easterly docks, and the conditional extension of the piers. There is a controlling depth of 25 feet at low-water datum in the entrance channel and in the approach channel to the docks at the easterly end of the harbor, 15 feet to docks at the westerly end, and 21 feet to the public docks, foot of State Street. The total cost of the existing project was $2,076,635.71, of which $767,275.02 was for new work and $1,309,360.69 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $2,077,880.63.

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, 151/2 feet with stone shperstructure, 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 superstruc- ture. RIVERS AND HARBORSr---BUFFAL0, N. Y., DISTRICT 1711 The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water level are from 4 feet above to ldw-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.

Modified 1828 and 1852. 2 Completed under previous projects. 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 removed 17,930 cubic yards of material from the channel and turning basin for restoration of project depth at a cost for main- tenance of $9,760.45. The expenditure was $10,252.60. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1918. 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 15 feet below low-water datum is available in the en- trance 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 of the existing project was $475,775.84, of which $56,174.10 was for new work and $419,601.74 was for maintenance. The total expenditure was $176,267.99. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the accounts receivable at the end of the year, $20,239.55, will be applied to main- tenance dredging, sweeping and removing obstructions from the channel and turning basin by Government plant during August and September 1941. 1712 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Dredging the channel is required annually. For this item of main- tenance the sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended by Government plant during the fiscal year 1943.

BUFFALO HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-At the eastern end of Lake Erie, at the head of Niagara River, 176 miles easterly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Charts Nos. 3 and 314.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of May 20, 1826, with modifications by River and Harbor Acts of July 7, 1838, June 23, 1866, June 23, 1874, June 3, 1896, March 2, 1907, and June 25, 1910. For further details see page 1967 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1606 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) An outer harbor about 41/2 miles long and 1,600 feet wide, formed by a breakwater system approximately parallel to the lake shore extending from Stony Point to the head of Niagara River and having a total length of 23,704 feet, with entrances near the north SRIVERS AND HARBORS---BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1713 and south ends, and consisting of the Stony Point breakwater (in- cluding the south entrance arm) 3,603 feet long; the south break- water 10,289 feet long; the old breakwater 7,608.5 feet long; the north breakwater 2,203.5 feet long; a south entrance 550 feet wide; a cen- trally located circulation gap about 150 feet wide and natural depth of 20 feet; and a north entrance 1,300 feet wide. The types of con- struction are as follows: 9,550 linear feet of rubble mound; 14,154 linear feet of timber-crib substructure surmounted with 9,113 linear feet of concrete, 370.5 linear feet of stone, and 4,670.5 linear feet of stone-concrete superstructure. (b) A south pier at the entrance to the inner harbor (Buffalo River), 1,760 feet long, of timber cribs and piles with concrete and stone superstructure; removal to a depth of 27 feet three small shoals located on the direct route of approach to the south entrance; and a depth of 25 feet in the south entrance and that portion of the outer harbor south of a line perpendicular to and 2,000 feet north of the southerly end of the south breakwater. (c) A depth of 23 feet in the outer harbor north of the above- defined line, including the triangular area just inside the north entrance. (d) A depth of 23 feet and a width of 800 feet in the north en- trance from deep water in the lake to the triangular area described above; a depth of 21 feet in the triangular area at the juncture with the Black Rock entrance channel; and a depth of 21 feet in the Buf- falo River channel from the outer harbor to the foot of Commercial Street, 180 to 250 feet wide, enlarged at the inner end by the removal of the Watson elevator site. (e) Maintaining existing channels in Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal, generally 200 feet wide, to a depth of 21 feet, except where ledge rock is encountered, from Commercial Street to Seneca Street on Buffalo River and up to the junction with the Lehigh Val- ley Railroad Canal on the Buffalo Ship Canal. The projects depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctuations of water surface are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations due to wind and other causes about 9 feet above and 31/2 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1941, is $3,499,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $140,- 000, of which the citjr of Buffalo is to contribute one-half of the annual cost of maintaining the channels in Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal. The estimated annual cost of maintaining the channels in the Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal is $80,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1714 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-Deepening the 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. 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 sulfur. In general, the terminals operated by the railroads and lake transportation com- panies and most of the grain elevators are open to the pubic. The city of Buffalo owns two terminals and the State of New York owns RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1715 two barge canal terminals. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 1, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Contract operations for deepening the northerly portion of the outer harbor were completed and the cost for the year was $144,492.06. Contract operations for removing a rock shoal area in the outer harbor were 26 percent completed at the end of the year and the cost for the year was $42.800.82. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 61,650 cubic yards of material from the outer harbor and Buffalo River en- trance at a cost of $25,158.10; removed 175 cubic yards of ledge rock from the Buffalo River entrance chanliel at a cost of $6,700.19; and probed the north entrance approach channel at a cost of $7,301.73. Maintenance of Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal by contract was: continued at a cost for the year of $12,097.60. The total cost for the year was $238,550.50, of which $187,292.88 was for new work and $51,257.62, including $40,000 from contributed funds, was for maintenance. The total expenditure was $288,016.52, includ- ing $40,000 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 67" percent completed. The work done under the project is the construc- tion of the south pier; protecting the entrance to the inner harbor 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 completed in 1903, and a 300-foot extension was completed in 1935. The north break- water 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 23 feet except for two strips 300 and 700 feet wide between the Canadian Pool Terminal elevator and the Terminal's and Transportation Cor-: poration's pier. The north-end entrance channel has been deepened to 23 feet. Buffalo River entrance channel has been deepened to 21 feet. 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 southerly portion of the outer harbor is 21 feet, at low-water datum. Completion of 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, United States funds, was $4,471,230.41, of which $2,351,502.04 including $655,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $2,119,728.37 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $1,447,844.89, including $655,500 Public Works 1716 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 funds. In addition, there was a cost and expenditure of $210,000 from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the accounts receivable at the end of the year and $40,000 contributed July 1941 by the city of Buffalo will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1941 ---- --------- $26, 715.87 New work: Completion of removing rock shoal area in the northerly portion of the outer harbor, under existing contract, July to August 1941------- $118, 901. 73 Deepening a part of the 23-foot project area in the outer harbor, by contract, September 1941 to July 1942-------------------------------200, 000.00 Removal of rock shoal outside of the outer harbor by Government plant and hired labor, July 1941 2, 000. 00 320,901.73 Maintenance: Dredging Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal, by contract, July to September 1941- 75, 000. 00 Dredging, sweeping, and removing obstructions from Buffalo River entrance and dredging outer harbor by Government plant July 1941 and June 1942----- ----------------------- 44, 067. 16 Repairing banquette on old breakwater by Govern- ment plant and hired labor, November 1941.... 7, 500. 00 Removing rock shoals from Buffalo River entrance by Government plant, March to May 1942 ...... 14, 000.00 Dredging Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal, by contract, April to June 1942-------- 35, 000. 00 175, 567. 16 Total, new work and maintenance---------------------523,184. 76 The removal to a depth of 24 feet of the three shoals in Lake Erie on the approach to the south entrance channel should be done..

BLACK ROCK CHANNEL AND TONAWANDA HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-This improvement is essentially that of the upper 131/2 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.) Previous projects.-Lake Erie section, none. The original proj2ct 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 S reet, 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 International 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 down- stream end of the deep-water pool at the Tonawanda waterworks in- take 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 Tona- wanda, 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 Ferrv 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 425144- 41-pt. 1, vol. 2--40 1720 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 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 improvement and exten- sion 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 1941, is $9,144,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $130,000, includ- ing $80,000 for operating and care. Description of Black Rock lock Location: Foot of Bridge Street, Buffalo, N.

Authorized May 28, 1935, by Emergency Relief Administration Act of 1935. Local cooperation.-Fully complied 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 existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 1, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.---Govern- ment plant and hired labor removed 21,557 cubic yards of material from the Black Rock channel and Tonawanda Harbor at a cost of $22,298.96 and repaired the towpath wall along Black Rock Channel at a cost of $3,210.61. Operating and care.-The lock was in continuous operation 265 days and in operation during the day only for 86 days. The lock was closed March 17 to 30, 1941, inclusive, for underwater cleaning and repairs. The Ferry Street Bridge was in continuous operation 265 days and in operation during the day only for 100 days. The signal station at the foot of Genesee Street, Buffalo, N. Y., was main- tained except from December 16, 1940, to April 14, 1941. The total cost for the fiscal year was $82,021.13. The total cost for year was $107,530.70, of which $25,509.57 was for maintenance and $82,021.13 for operating and care. The total expenditure was $108,616.43. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 87 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 1722 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 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 Rattlesnake 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 19C2. 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 and the lock-operating houses in 1924. The work remaining to be done to complete the projct consists of the improvement of the guide pier, as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 and the completion of deepening Black Rock Channel from Lake Erie to Ferry Street. 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 $9,151.994.36 of whicli $7,936,342.60, including $1,760,000 Emergency Relief funds, was for new work, $799,133.98 for maintenance, and $416,517.78 for operating and care. The total expenditure was $9,154,684.69, 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 Sur- vey 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 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), Ni- agara 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 con- necting 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 level 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 1941, is $1,163,000, including $700,000 for compensating works, but is exclusive of $27,562.50 contributed by local interests, and 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. RIVERS AND HARBORSr-BUFFALO, N.

The other terminal is open 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 3,008 cubic yards of material at a cost of $7,035.91 for maintenance. The expenditure was $5,693.38. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 39 percent completed. The east channel from North Tonawanda to the Niagara Falls waterworks intake and Schlossers Channel from Ni- agara Falls waterworks intake to the foot of Hyde Park Boulevard were completed in 1934. The work remaining to be done is the con- struction 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 $507,974.50, of which $463,386.62, including $94,512.24 Public Works funds, was for new work and $44,587.88 for maintenance.

OLCOTT HARBOR, N. Y. Loc~ikm-T'his harbor consists of a pier-protected channelway 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 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1727 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, one-half of which was contributed by local interests. The latest (1928) approved esti- mate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,500.

(Contains latest published map.) 1Completed under previous project. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Local interests have expended about $10,000 since August 1925 re- placing old timber superstructure on east pier with concrete and dredg- ing in the channel. The sum of $5,000 was contributed in 1928 by local interests toward the cost of replacing old timber superstructure on west pier with concrete. Terminal facilities.-There is no commercial navigation. The facil- ities consist of private docks for pleasure boats. Operations and results during fiscal year.--None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1918. 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 9 feet at low-water datum. The total cost and expenditure to the United States of the existing project was $83,589.03, 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.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed during the fiscal year 1942. The sum of $70,000 can be profitably expended for maintenance during the fiscal year 1943 for the repair of the piers by contract.

Y., DISTRICT 1729 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 approxi- mately 150 feet, without dredging closer than 50 feet to existing bulk- heads, 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 coop- eration (H. Doc. No. 139, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-There is one coal terminal, one car-ferry ter- minal 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 180,627 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the entrance channel and turning basin at a cost of $15,417.26, for maintenance. The expenditure was $15,399.84. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. A length of 345 linear feet of the west pier has been re- inforced and repaired with steel sheet piling and concrete. A portion of the remainder 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 con- trolling depth in the channel is 20 feet to and including the turning basin. The total cost of the existing project was $547,375.21, of which $78,614.10 including $56,806 Emergency Relief funds, was for new work and $468,761.11 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $548,365.76, including $56,806 Emergency Relief funds.

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 4,478 feet in length, consisting of 4,359 feet of stone-filled timber cribs with con- crete superstructure, and 119 feet of rubble-mound construction; and for an arrowhead rubble-mound breakwater system, west arrowhead breakwater, 2,700 feet long, east arrowhead breakwater abotlt 2,200 feet long; for dredging to a depth of 21 feet at low-water datum in the outer harbor east of the Lackawanna 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 to a depth of 21 feet in soft material and 22 feet in hard material at low-water datum; no dredging to be done within 100 feet of the breakwaters nor within 50 feet of the estab- lished harbor lines except in the river; for the 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. Ordinary 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 1941, is $4,444,000, which includes $1,188,000, the cost of that part of outer west break- water included in the existing project. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $34,500. 425144---41-pt. 1, vol. 2- 41 1736 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-The act of October 17, 1940, authorized deep- ening in the west outer harbor to 21 feet in soft material and 22 feet in hard material, and closing the gap in the west breakwater, subject to the condition that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will construct and operate a steam generating electric power plant, together with suitable docks and appurtenances, at the westerly end of the outer harbor; that they will provide suitable facilities to prevent stagnation in the west basin after closure of the gap in the breakwater; and that they will hold and save the United States free from all damages to lands and struc- tures as a result of the improvements. A steam generating electric power plant has been constructed and is in operation and facilities have been provided for preventing stagnation in the west basin. Other conditions have not been complied with. Requirements under prior acts have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-One coal terminal and two publicly owned terminals for grain and barge canal traffic are open to the public. Two terminals 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--New worlk.-Govern- ment plant and hired labor removed 27,385 cubic yards of material from the west outer harbor channel at a cost of $13,654.73. Maintenance.-The west outer harbor was probed and core borings taken by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $1,439.36. Government plant and hired labor removed 136,145 cubic yards of materials from the channels at a cost of $28,733.86. RIVERS AND HARBORSt-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1737 The total cost for the year was $43,827.95, of which $13,654.73 was for new work and $30,173.22 for maintenance. The total expendi- ture was $42,903.53. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was about 76 percent completed. The west outer breakwater was completed in 1882 and was originally 6,032 feet long but was reduced to 4,359 feet in 1931. The west arrowhead breakwater was completed in 1931 and the east arrowhead breakwater in 1932. The old lighthouse pier, a a part of the west inner breakwater and:the upper and lower islands in Oswego River were removed in 1931. A depth of 21 feet was obtained in Oswego River to within 50 feet of the harbor lines and in the outer harbor east of the Lackawanna coal dock except a'strip about 200 feet wide along the harbor line east of the mouth of the river in 1932. A channel 100 feet wide with a turning basin at its westerly end was dredged in 1932 in the outer harbor west of the Lackawanna coal dock. The channel in Oswego River was widened to the harbor lines in 1937. The breakwaters are generally in good condition. 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 16 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, deepening of the outer harbor west of the Lackawanna coal dock and closing the existing gap in the west outer breakwater. The total cost of the existing project was $3,849,732.97, of which $3,362,921.28 was for new work and $486,811.69 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,851,800.67.

ARMY, 1941 24. LANCASTER, CAYUGA CREEK, N. Y. Location.-Cayuga Creek passes through the village of Lancaster and joins Buffalo Creek about 8 miles downstream from the village. Buffalo Creek empties into Lake Erie at Buffalo, N. Y., about 9 miles downstream from its juncture with Cayuga Creek. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the clear- ing of Cayuga Creek Channel from Park Boulevard in the village of Lancaster downstream to Penora Street in the village of Depew, a distance of about 1 miles, and the construction of about 8,000 feet of earth dikes, 2,200 feet of steel sheet pile flood walls, and 300 feet of concrete flood walls along both sides of the channel to protect the village of Lancaster against flood flows of 18,000 cubic feet per sec- ond, the maximum of record. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. No. 326, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). The estimated Federal cost is $575,000 for construction, and the estimated local cost is $195,000 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. In addition to the usual requirements for local cooperation as provided by law, local interests are required to bear the expense of all necessary highway and bridge alterations and establish and enforce flood-channel limits and regulations satisfactory to the Secretary of War. Assurances have not as yet been received. Operations and residlts during the fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal yeavr.-No work has been started and no expenditures have been incurred. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed for the fiscal years 1942 and 1943. 25 CANANDAIGUA LAKE, OSWEGO RIVER BASIN, N. Y. Location.-CanandaiguaLake is the most westerly of the Finger Lakes in the Oswego River watershed. The lake outlet flows north- eastward and joins the Clyde River at Lyons, N. Y. The city of Canandaigua is located at the north end of the lake near the outlet. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic maps of New York State.) Existing project.-The flow from Canandaigua Lake is carried by two channels at its northerly end, the outlet and a feeder canal which join about 2 miles below the lake. The plan of improvement provides for the improvement of the outlet channel from the outlet sill to a point about 4 miles downstream, so as to secure a minimum bottom width of 20 feet with side slopes of 1 on 21/ feet, the improvement of the feeder canal for its total length of about 11/2 miles from the lake to its confluence with the outlet channel, so as to secure a bottom width of 20 feet with side slope of 1 on 2 feet, and the lowering of the outlet sill 11/4 feet. The project will afford a substantial reduction in flood stages on Canandaigua Lake. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. No. 846, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). The estimated Federal cost is $29,000 for construction, and the estimated local cost is $1,000 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. In addition to the usual requirements for local cooperation as provided by law, local RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO,' N. Y., DISTRICT 1745 interests are required to take such measures as may be necessary to prevent any encroachment upon the flood-channel capacities to be provided by the proposed improvements, and secure the necessary agreements to permit regulation of lake levels. Assurances have not as yet been received. Operations and results during the fscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been started and no expenditures have been incurred under the project. Proposed operations.--No funds are available and no work is pro- posed during the fiscal years 1942 and 1943. 26. KEUKA LAKE, OSWEGO RIVER BASIN, N. Y. Location.-KeukaLake, N. Y., is located in the southwestern portion of the Oswego River watershed and is in the form of a Y. The outlet is at the northern end of the eastern branch of the lake. The village of Penn Yan is situated at the northern end of the lake along the outlet. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic maps of New York State.) Existing project.-There is a dam across the outlet channel about 1 mile downstream from the lake, with raceways at both ends. Two streams enter the outlet channel between the lake and the dam. The plan of improvement provides for the removing of shoals in the chan- nel just upstream from the dam and at the mouths of the two streams entering the outlet channel, and the replacing of the present small gate in the raceway at the southern end of the dam by a single modern structure and appurtenances, and lowering the sill 2 feet. The project will afford a substantial reduction in flood stages on Keuka Lake. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. No. 846, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). The estimated Federal cost is $18,200 for construction, and the esti- mated local cost is $1,800 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.----See page 7 for requirements. In addition to the usual requirements for local cooperation as provided by law, local interests are required to take such measures as may be necessary to prevent any encroachments upon the flood-channel capacities to be provided by the proposed improvements, and secure the necessary agreements to permit regulation of lake levels. Assurances have not as yet been received. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been started and no expenditures have been incurred under the project. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed during the fiscal years 1942 and 1943. 27. OWASCO LAKE, OSWEGO RIVER BASIN, N. Y. Location.-Owasco Lake, N. Y., is located in the central portion of the Oswego River watershed. The city of Auburn, N. Y., is situ- ated at the outlet at the northern end of the lake. The outlet flows northerly for 17 miles and empties into the Seneca River. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic maps of New York State.) Existing project.-There is an old masonry dam, known as the State dam, in the city of Auburn across the outlet channel about 9,600 feet downstream from the lake. The plan of improvement 1746 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 provides for the replacing of the old dam with a new dam about 9,400 feet downstream from the lake, consisting of a rolled earth section and a concrete spillway section, sluice gates, head gates, a concrete wall between the power inlet and sluiceway, and the im- proving and deepening of the channel through a length of about 9,600 feet. The improved channel will be 15 feet wide at the bottom, with side slopes of 1 on 2 in earth and 4 on 1 in rock. The project will afford a substantial reduction of flood heights at Auburn and on Owasco Lake in general. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941 (H. Doec. No. 846, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). The estimated cost is $113,000 for construction, including $7,000 to be contributed by local interests. The estimated local cost for lands and damages is $1,000.

HAMMONDSPORT, OSWEGO RIVER BASIN, N. Y. Location.--The village of Hammondsport, N. Y., is located in Steu- ben County and is situated at the southern end of Keuka Lake. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic maps of New York State.) RIVER S AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1747 Existing project.-The lower portion of Glen Brook from its mouth at Keuka Lake to a point about 2,450 feet upstream is carried by an existing concrete flume, the safe carrying capacity of which is limited by a 900 bend at its upper end to 1,800 cubic feet per second. The plan of improvement provides for increasing the channel capacity to 5,000 cubic feet per second by widening, deepening, and straightening the upper 700 feet of the present flume, constructing reinforced-concrete cascades at the bend, clearing the channel above the flume, and con-: structing four timber check dams in the channel above the flume to reduce debris deposited in the flume. This will provide a safe chan- nel capacity of 5,000 cubic feet per second for Glen Brook, or approxi- mately 40 percent greater than the discharge of the largest flood of record. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. No. 846, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). The estimated cost is $163,000 for construction, and the estimated local cost is $2,000 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. In addition to the usual requirements for local cooperation as provided by law, local interests are required to take such measures as may be necessary to prevent any encroachments upon the flood channel capacities to be provided by the proposed improvements. Assurances have not as yet been received. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been started and no expenditures have been incurred. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed for the fiscal years 1942 and 1943. 29. WATKINS GLEN, OSWEGO RIVER BASIN, N. Y. Location.-Watkins Glen, N. Y., is located in Schuyler County and is situated at the southern end of Seneca Lake. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographical maps of New York State.) Existing proyect.-The plan of improvement provides for the im- provement of the Glen Creek channel through the village of Watkins Glen from the mouth of the gorge to below the village by increasing the capacity of the channel to 10,000 cubic feet per second by widening and deepening the channel and constructing 150 feet of concrete wall on the right bank above Franklin Street, 50 feet of concrete wall on each bank below the railroad, a levee on the left bank upstream from the railroad, and a levee on the right bank downstream from Decatur Street. It also provides for protecting the channel banks between Franklin and Decatur Streets with concrete cribs and stone riprap and for replacing one highway bridge and adding spans to one high- way and one railroad bridge. This will provide a safe channel capac- ity for flood discharges of Glen Creek equal to that of the largest flood of record. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. No. 846, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). The estimated Federal cost is $104,000, of which $72,000 is for con- struction and $32,000 is for reimbursement to local interests for one- half the cost of bridge alterations, lands, easements, and rights-of- way in excess of the cost of channel improvements, and the estimated local cost is $104,000 for lands and damages. 1748 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. In addition to the usual requirements for local cooperation as provided by law, local interests are required to take such measures as may be neces- sary to prevent any encroachments upon the flood channel capacities to be provided by the proposed improvements; and to replace one highway bridge and add spans to one highway and one railway bridge, with the division of cost for that work between local inter- ests and the United States as stated in the previous paragraph. Assurances have not as yet been received. Operations and results during the fiscal year.--None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been started and no expenditures have been incurred. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed for the fiscal years 1942 and 1943. 30. MONTOUR FALLS, OSWEGO RIVER BASIN, N. Y. Location.-The village of Montour Falls, N. Y., is located in Schuyler County and is situated 2.5 miles from the southern end of Seneca Lake. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic maps of New York State.) Existing project.-Catherine Creek flows northerly through the center of the village of Montour Falls and discharges into Seneca Lake. Havana Glen Creek joins Catherine Creek just south of the village, Catlin Mill Creek flows through a diversion channel to the east of the village and joins Catherine Creek north of the village, and Shequaga Creek flows through a diversion channel along the northwest edge of the village and joins Catherine Creek north of the village. The plan of improvement for Catherine and Havana Glen Creeks provides for the diversion of Catherine Creek to the east of the village to join the present diversion channel of Catlin Mill Creek, involving the excavation of a channel about 5,000 feet long and the construction of a levee along the left bank of the channel so as to secure a channel with a capacity of 35,000. cubic feet per second; the diversion of the lower part of Havana Glen Creek to enter the Catherine Creek diversion channel; the construc- tion of timber check dams on Havana Glen Creek and on Catlin Mill Creek; bank protection where scour is likely to occur; construction of a small gate in the levee where it crosses the present Catherine Creek channel to provide water for sewage disposal; and construction of two new highway bridges across the Catherine Creek diversion chan- nel, one at Owego Street and one at Broadway Street. The plan of improvement for Shequaga Creek provides for increas- ing the channel capacity through the village to 11,000 cubic feet per second to be secured by widening and deepening the channel and con- struction of a wall and levee along the right bank. The plan also includes construction of a stilling basin at the base of the falls and replacing one highway bridge at Steuben Street with a more adequate structure. The project will provide substantial flood protection for the village of Montour Falls. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. No. 846, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N.

ITHACA, OSWEGO RIVER BASIN, N. Y. Location.-The city of Ithaca, N. Y., is located in Tompkins County and is situated at the southern end of Cayuga Lake. (See U. S. Geo- logical Survey topographical maps of New York State.) Existing project.-Fall Creek flows along the northern edge of the city and discharges into Cayuga Lake, and Cascadilla Creek flows through the center of the city and empties into Cayuga Inlet about one-half mile above its mouth. The plan of improvement provides for improving Fall Creek Channel from the foot of the falls at Lake Street to a point 2,900 feet downstream so as to protect the left bank from flows of 20,000 cubic feet per second and the right bank from flows of 14,000 cubic feet per second by widening the channel and con- structing levees on both banks of the channel, the levee on the left bank to be 5 feet higher than the levee on the right bank; protecting the Fall Creek Channel slopes upstream from the railroad bridge with a concrete crib wall and protecting bridge piers and abutments with riprap; increasing the capacity of Cascadilla Creek Channel from 1,200 to 1,800 cubic feet per second by clearing the channel from the 1750 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 mouth of the gorge to Lincoln Street, a distance of about 4,200 feet; and paving the bottom of Cascadilla Creek Channel at the bend near Cayuga Street Bridge, and constructing a timber check dam at the mouth of the gorge to reduce debris deposits in the channel. The plan of improveiment for Fall Creek will protect the area along the left bank from floods about 30 percent greater than the largest flood of record and along the right bank from floods approximately equal to the largest flood of record. The plan for Cascadilla Creek will provide protection against floods about 30 percent greater than the largest flood of record. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved August 18, 1941 (H. Doc.No. 846, 76th Cong., 3d sess.).

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. Ewisting project.-Provides for a rubble-mound jetty 7,500 feet long on Zuniga 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 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; for the dredging of a seaplane basin in the southerly part of the bay, 5,000 to 8,500 feet wide, 21,000 feet long, and 10 feet deep, and for filling of an area of approximately 110 acres adjacent to the southerly end of the basin; 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 10.5 feet. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1941, is $10,797,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects and $10,000 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1937) 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.

Recommended modif cations of project.-Under date of August 26, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project to include dredging requested by the United States Navy Department, of triangular approaches to the 26-foot and 35-foot anchorage areas, area M, at an estimated cost of $165,000 for new work with no increase in the present estimated cost of maintenance (H. Doc. No. 390, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, pro- vides that before any work is undertaken on the turning basin local interests shall furnish necessary disposal areas and give assurances sat- isfactory to the Secretary of War and the Chief of Engineers 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 act of October 17, 1940, is subject to the provision that the Chief of Engineers may direct the disposal of dredged materials on lands not under Federal owner- ship, provided that local interests reimburse the United States for the cost involved in excess of the cost of disposal by the most economical method and hold and save the United States free from claims for dam- ages resulting from such disposal. This requirement was accepted by resolution of the city of Coronado, and approved by the Chief of Engi- neers. Terminal fiacilities.-In San Diego Harbor there are 21,730 linear feet of wharves, exclusive of Government-owned wharves, of which 10,965 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 consisted of relocating storm drain, dismantling wharf and raising engineer buildings by hired labor in connection with dredging areas Q and Q-1 from start of fiscal year to September 1940; dredging by contract in area M, 2,610,000 cubic yards of material in the 8-foot seaplane basin from January to the end of the fiscal year, 2,688,000 cubic yards of material in the 26-foot anchorage area and 3,827,000 1756 -REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

NEWPORT BAY HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-On the Pacific coast, 24 miles southeast of Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors, and 72 miles northwest of San Diego Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5108.) Existing project.-Provides for random rock entrance jetties, 900 feet apart, 1,620 and 2,860 feet in length on the east and west sides of the channel, respectively; an entrance channel 20 feet deep and 500 feet wide; a main channel 20 feet deep and generally 200 feet wide from the entrance to the westerly end of the bay; a yacht anchorage 15 feet deep, 1,200 feet wide, and 1,700 feet long on the south side of the main channel midway of the bay; for a turning basin 20 feet deep, approximately 2,000 feet long and up to 1,000 feet wide at the westerly end of the bay; and for a depth of 10 feet in the remainder of the main bay area, at a total estimated cost of $1,835,400 for new work, of which amount local interests contributed one-half. The project was recommended by the Chief of Engineers to the Secretary of War under date of September 25, 1933, and was author- ized by the Public Works Administration June 15, 1934. Maintenance of all improvements described above was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, at an estimated annual cost of $15,000. (Senate Commerce Committee Print, 75th Cong.) The latest published map is in the project document., The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range be- tween mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.1 feet. The extreme range is about 9 feet. Local cooperation.-The maintenance project, adopted by the act of August 26, 1937, requires local interests to furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable spoil-disposal areas as required. All prior requirements fully complied with. In addition to the Federal project requirements, the city of New- port Beach and Orange County have expended for dredging and jetty work the sum of $2,524,435 since 1916. Private interests have spent $655,000 for dredging, etc., making the total expenditure for harbor improvements by local interests, $3,179,435. Terminal facilities.-There are numerous small wharves and land- ings, practically all for yachts. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was com- pleted in 1936. The jetties are in good condition, and full dimen- sions obtain in the project channels except in the turning basin; 20 RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1759 feet in the entrance and main bay channels, 15 feet in the yacht anchorage basin, and 10 feet in the side channels.

Original project for the inner harbor was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of March 1760 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 3, 1881, August 2, 1882, June 3, 1896, June 13, 1902, June 25, 1910, and July 18, 1918. Long Beach Harbor.-There was no previous project. For further details see page 1977 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1646 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-Provides for a breakwater 11,152 feet long extending easterly from Point Fermin and a detached breakwater 12,500 feet long in prolongation easterly thereof; for an entrance channel 1,000 feet wide and 40 feet deep to outer Los Angeles Harbor, with a turning basin 3,500 feet long and 1,500 feet wide of the same depth opposite the end of pier 1 and the enlargement of the entrance to the inner harbor by dredging to a depth of 35 feet, a triangular area at its junction with this turning basin; for an inner harbor channel 35 feet deep and 1,000 feet wide, with a turning basin at Los Angeles Harbor 35 feet deep; for a channel 35 feet deep and 650 feet wide in the east basin from the turning basin to United States station 406; for dredging to a depth of 35 feet and 400 feet wide in Cerritos Channel from United States station 406 to the Long Beach turning basin; for a turning basin 35 feet deep at Long Beach; for an entrance channel to Long Beach Harbor 35 feet deep and 300 to 500 feet wide; for maintenance of the Long Beach breakwater south of the outer end of pier A; for dredging to a depth of 40 feet, an irregular area, averaging about 5,000 feet long and 1,900 feet wide, located adjacent to and southwest and south, respectively, of the 40- foot deep entrance channel and turning basin and shoreward of the San Pedro breakwater; for dredging to a depth of 40 feet, an area adjacent to the northeasterly side of the entrance channel to Los Angeles Harbor, tapering from a width of about 2,100 feet at that location to zero in a length of about 10,000 feet, and northerly side of the area being generally parallel and 3,750 feet from the axis of the detached breakwater; for the construction and maintenance of a rubble-mound breakwater of the composite type about 21,000 feet long in an easterly direction from the northeast end of the existing detached breakwater; for dredging about 4,000,000 cubic yards ini- tially for a settling basin at the mouth of the Los Angeles Diver- sion Channel, and depositing the material on the beaches eastward therefrom to Belmont pier; for maintenance dredging of areas A and B, and at the mouth of the Los Angeles River Diversion Chan- nel; and for the construction of silt diversion works for the protec- tion of Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.5 feet. The extreme range is about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1941 is $31,343,225 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1941) approved estimates for annual cost of maintenance are $125,- 000 for dredging and $125,000 for repairs to the breakwater.

Local cooperation.-The modification of the project, authorized in act of October 17, 1940, does not require any specific local co- operation. All prior items of local cooperation have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-In Los Angeles Harbor, there are 66,25 linear feet of wharves, of which 47,740 linear feet are owned by 1762 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1 94'1 the city and 18,512 linear feet by private interests. In Long Beach Harbor there are 15,300 linear feet of wharves. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations Withl reg- ular funds consisted of the preparation of detailed plans aid speci- fications for constructing 13,350 feet of detached breakwater. and repairing and strengthening the 12,500-foot detached breakwater and for dredging in the harbor areas at the mouth of the Lo 'Angeles River and depositing the material along the Long Beach ocean front. Operations with funds to be provided by the United States Navy Department consisted of dredging and depositing 1,051,191 cubic yards of said, hopper measure, for the sand core of a 6,000-foot easterly extension of the 12,500-foot detached breakwater from No- vember 1, 1940, to March 29, 1941, with the U. S. hopper dredge Dan C. Kingman under a contract agreement with the Navy Department. Funds allotted to other agencies and revoked from the amount allotted to this Department will complete 6,000 feet of breakwater. Costs were $8,124.78 for new work and $1,155.86 for-maintenance, a total of $9,280.64 from regular funds. Expenditures were $7,050.44 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 52 percent completed. 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. The sand core of the 6,000-foot section of detached breakwater was com- pleted on March 29, 1941. The storm of September 24 and 25, 1939, displaced cap rock in varying amounts along the entire length of the; detached breakwater and a small number of the coursed stones from the San Pedro breakwater. Controlling depths were 40 feet in the entrance channel and outer harbor turning basin; 35 feet in the main chainel, inner harbor turning basin, east basin channel, Cerritos Channel, Long Beach inner harbor turning basin, and the entrance channel to Long Beach inner harbor. Work remaining to complete the existing project includes com- pletion of the 6,000-foot section of detached breakwater under con- struction by the Navy Department; dredging in areas shoreward of the San Pedro breakwater and the detached breakwater adja- cent to the Los Angeles Harbor entrance channel for breakwater substructure material and construction of the 13,350-foot section of detached breakwater; completion of dredging to 40-foot depth areas shoreward of the San Pedro breakwater and the detached breakwater adjacent to the Los Angeles Harbor entrance channel; and dredging in a harbor area at the mouth of the Los Angeles River and de- positing the material along the Long Beach ocean front.

Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5261.) Eisting 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 mean 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 feet.- The. latest (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. Recommended modiflcations of project.-Under date of June 9, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to permit maintenance of the harbor by means of a fixed sand-intercepting plant to be provided and operated by and at the expense of local interests; the United States to make available for the operation of the plant an amount not exceeding $30,000 annually, the present approved estimated annual cost of maintenance, whenever funds have been allotted for such purpose; provided that there shall be deducted from such funds the actual cost of harbor maintenance found necessary, if and when the intercepting plant has been installed (H. Doc. No. 348, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-No specific local cooperation is required. Local interests have contributed $101,200 to date 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.-There is 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 fsal yea r-Mantenaeee.---Opera- tions with regular and contributed funds consisted of dredging by RIVERS AND HARBORS---LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1765 contract 67,067 cubic yards of material from the harbor entrance and depositing on the beach, from the start of the fiscal year to July 3, 1940, to complete dredging to 20-foot depth. Costs were $82,419.61 from regular funds and $40,531.98 from contributed funds, a total of $122,951.59. Expenditures were $82,668.75 from regular funds and $40,531.98 from contributed funds, a total of $123,200.73. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Original depths were restored at the harbor entrance in July 1940, but this area is subject to continu- ous and rapid shoaling. About 5,000 linear feet of beach easterly of the harbor was restored by the deposit of dredged material. A portion of the deposited material has been moved down coast by wave action, restoring denuded beach. The costs and expenditures of maintenance and beach restoration to date are $29,198.39 from Public Works funds, $161,004 from regu- lar funds, and $91,731.98 contributed funds, a total of $281,934.37. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 130, 1941, amounting to $59,000, will be applied to maintenance dredging by contract, during May and June 1942. A contribution of $50,000 by local interests will be required, provided the dredged material is placed along the beach. No work is proposed during fiscal year 1943.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION, CALIFORNIA Location.-The work is in Los Angeles metropolitan area on Los Angeles River and tributaries, and on tributaries of the San Gabriel River and Rio Hondo, on Kenter Canyon and Ballona Creeks, and includes a drainage system near Long Beach. The works extend from the San Gabriel and the Santa Monica Mountains through the coastal plain to the Pacific Ocean. Existing project.--Under provisions of the Emergency Relief Ap- propriation Act of 1935, the President approved on July 10, 1935, an allotment for unemployment relief amounting to $13,869,000 for con- struction of 14 flood-control units. Under the provisions of subsequent revocations and allotments, the project was modified to include 11 units, for which the sum of $16,- 914,000 (including all allotments and revocations), was made avail- able from the Emergency Relief Appropriation Acts of 1935 and 1936. Items of the project upon which work remained to be done on June 30, 1937, were transferred to the project "Los Angeles County drainage area, California--Flood control," for completion. Long Beach northeast drainage system.-This unit consists of a 161-acre-foot-capacity sump, pump station, and 42-inch outlet into the Los Angeles River Channel, draining 31/2 square miles of low-lying area near the southern base of Signal Hill in the city of Long Beach. Rubio Wash.-This unit consists of 3.33 miles of rectangular, rein- forced concrete channel, following the natural wash through San Ga- briel and Rosemead to the Rio Hondo, and the construction of four street and highway bridges and two railway bridges. Eaton Wash Dam.-This unit consists of a rolled-fill earth dam, 2,100 feet long, maximum height 60 feet, with a 1,050-acre-feet-capacity flood-control basin; an uncontrolled spillway, with a crest 270 feet long at the right abutment; and outlet works through the dam. Oper- ations of the basin will regulate the run-off from a tributary area of RIVERS AND HARBORS---LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1769 11.53 square miles, will provide debris storage. and will permit the gradual release of water so as to increase percolation into underground reservoirs. Kenter Canyon storm drain.-This unit consists of 3.0 miles of storm drain with reinforced brick arch and reinforced concrete invert, hav- ing its ocean outlet at the end of Pico Boulevard. It extends north- east through the city of Santa Monica and adjacent foothills and drains 7.8 square miles of the city and adjacent foothills. Arroyo de Los Jardines.-This unit, in southwestern Los Angeles, consists of 0.56 mile of covered, rectangular, reinforced concrete storm drain, which carries the flow of an unimproved and crooked channel tributary to Ballona Creek. La Crescenta and La Canada.-These units are debris basins and channels at the base of the mountains above Los Angeles: Dunsmuir, Shields, and Eagle-Goss debris basins and storm drains finally flow into Verdugo Wash. The Snover debris basin and channel and the Weber channel together, flow through a 300-foot tunnel into Hall Beckley Canyon above the Los Angeles County flood-control debris basin. Hay Canyon debris basin and the combined Hay Canyon and Winery Canyon storm drains finally drain into the Arroyo Seco. These debris basins are artificial basins on the natural slope and are located where the steep canyons debouch onto the debris cones. Rec- tangular concrete channels extend from the overflow ogee spillways to the drainage channels below.

The individual units that have been selected for construction are described in the following paragraphs. Hanzen Dam.-This unit is located on Tujunga Wash approxi- mately 9.4 miles above its'-junction with the Los Angeles River. It includes a rolled-fill earth dam 9,050 feet long, maximum height 97 feet above stream bed, with a flood-control basin of 33,120 acre-feet capacity at spillway crest; an uncontrolled spillway 284 feet in length, 1774 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 located near the center of the dam where bedrock is available; and outlet works through the dam near the center of the structure. The operation of the basin will regulate the run-off from a tributary area of 147.4 square miles, reducing the flow of a design flood from 64,800 to 12,000 cubic feet per second. Sepulbeda Dam.-This unit is located on the upper Los Angeles River, approximately 43.1 miles above the mouth. It includes a rolled-fill earth dam 15,300 feet long, maximum height 57 feet above stream bed, with a flood-control basin of 16,700 acre-feet capacity at top of spillway crest gates; spillway 399 feet in length, located near the center of the dam; and outlet works through the dam near the center of the structure. The operation of the basin will regulate the run-off from a tributary area of 155.3 square miles, reducing the flow of a design flood from 69,000 to 7,100 cubic feet per second. Los Anqeles River Channel.-Stewart and Gray Road to Niagara Street.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of channel improvements along the Los Angeles River Channel, consist- ing of the following features: A rectangular concrete channel from Niagara Street to the Burbank Western Wash (a distance of 1.7 miles) ; a trapezoidal channel with concrete slab or grouted rock pro- tection from the Burbank Western Wash to 1,400 feet above Dayton Avenue (a distance of 7.5 miles) ; a channel with concrete invert and either sloping concrete side walls or vertical sheet steel-pile or con- crete retaining walls, depending on rights-of-way available and the proximity of.main-line railroads on each bank, from 1,400 feet above Dayton Avenue to Soto Street (a distance of 5.4 miles) ; a trapezoidal channel with concrete slab or grouted rock bank protection from Soto Street to Stewart and Gray Road (a. distance of 6.2 miles) ; and four highway bridges, four railroad bridges, and one footbridge. The unit will provide protection for the city of Los Angeles. The channel is designed for the probable maximum flood. Long Beach Bouleard.-This improvement provided channel rec. tification of the Los Angeles River at Long Beach Boulevard for a distance of about 0.397 mile, by the removal of about 154,000 cubic yards of material. The unit removed a constriction in the river channel above the city of Long Beach. Haines Canyon.-This unit consists of extension of the existing rectangular reinforced concrete channel of Haines Canyon from Plainview Avenue to mouth of Haines Canyon (a distance of 1.8 miles) thus completing a channel 3.6 miles long from Tujunga Wash to existing debris basin.

Location.-The works included under this project are in San Fran- cisco Bay, in the vicinity of San Francisco, and in the approach channels to the Golden Gate, the bay entrance. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5532.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of July 25, 1868, June 10, 1872, June 23, 1874, March 3, 1899, June 13, 1902, June 25, 1910, and September 22, 1922. For further details see page 1978 of Annual Report for 1915, page 1749 of Annual Report for 1921, page 1633 of Annual Report for 1929, and page 1669 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for dredging a channel through the San Francisco Bar on the line of the main ship channel, 50 feet deep and 2,000 feet wide; the removal of Presidio Shoal, Black Point Shoal, Rincon Reef Rock (inner), Rincon Reef Rock (outer), Blos- som Rock, and Alcatraz Shoal, westward of a north-and-south line 2,500 feet west of Alcatraz Light, to a depth of 40 feet; the removal. of Arch Rock, Shag Rocks Nos. 1 and 2, Harding Rock, Raccoon Shoal, and Point Knox Shoal, westward of a north-and-south line through Point Stuart Light, and a portion of the shoal channelward of the pierhead line near the mouth of Islais Creek to a depth of 35 feet, and for dredging a channel 750 feet wide and 10 feet deep from that depth in the bay to San Francisco Airport ending in a basin 10 feet deep and approximately 2,000 feet in width. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range be- tween mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.7 feet, with an extreme range of 10.6 feet. The estimate of cost for new work revised in 1940 is $1,330,800, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and exclusive of $137,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $237,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1802 ' REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

' Included in part in the Public Works Administration program Sept. 6, 1933. 2 Contain latest published maps. Local cooperation.-The act of August 26, 1937, requires that local interests contribute one-half the initial cost of the channel to San Fran- cisco Airport, construct suitable works for the protection of the harbor at that point, furnish free of cost to the United States necessary 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 frontage 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 been fulfilled. Fulfillment was approved May 31, 1940. Terminal facilities.-The State has 42 piers, 14 passenger- and auto- mobile-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 existing facilities are considered adequate. (See Port Series No. 12, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fivcal year.-The channel and basin at the San Francisco Airport were dredged by contract. This was new work. The quantity removed was 2 847,378 cubic yards. As main- tenance, the U. S. hopper dredge Mackenzie removed 55,006 cubic yards from the bar channel. The costs were $269,182.03 for new work ($134,591.01 from United States funds and $134,591.02 from con- tributed funds) and $4,966.67 for maintenance, a total of $274,148.70. The expenditures were $274,148.70, of which $139,557.68 was from United States funds and $134,591.02 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 89 percent completed. The work remaining to be done was the comple- tion of the bar channel and the removal of Raccoon Shoal. The dredg- ing of Islais Creek was completed 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, the deepening of Point Knox Shoal in 1937, and the dredging of the chan- nel and basin at the San Francisco Airport on May 29, 1941. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1803 The controlling depths over various items of the project at the times shown were as follows: Bar channel 45 feet, channel and basin at San Francisco Airport 11 feet, April 1941; Presidio Shoal 45 feet, Alcatraz Shoal 45 feet, Black Point Shoal 37 feet, Point Knox Shoal 36 feet, March 1941; Islais Creek Shoal 27 feet, June 1941; Rincon Reef (inner) 41 feet, Rincon Reef (outer) 41 feet, Blossom Rock 42 feet, Arch Rock 35 feet, Shag Rocks Nos. 1 and 2 37 feet, Harding Rock 35 feet. all between May and August 1932. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $1,312,983.06 for new work ($193,000 from Public Works funds, $985,392.04 from regular funds, and $134,591.02 from contributed funds) and $164,753.56 for maintenance, a total of $1,477,736.62. The expenditures were $352,870.03 ($218,279.01 from United States funds and $134,591.02 from contributed funds). Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $152,408.99 will be applied to new work, dredging the bar channel and removing Raccoon Shoal, by Government hopper dredge, 5 months intermittently throughout the year. The above work will complete the project. The additional sum of $120,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 for maintenance, dredging in the bar channel, by Government hopper dredge, 4 months intermittently throughout the year.

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 from deep 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 Steinberger 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 13.0 feet. The length of the section under improvement is 41/3 miles. The head of the improvement is two-thirds of a mile below the head of navigation. 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) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $16,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25,1910 For a 5-foot channel--.......------------------- --- H. Doec.

(Con- feet wide. tains latest published map.) 1806 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are seven open-pile wharves of ordinary pile construction and one bulkhead landing on Redwood Creek and one wharf on West Point Slough. One wharf is a modern, publicly owned, deep-water, general-cargo wharf operated as a public facility; five are for the exclusive use of the owners; one wharf and the bulk- head 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, the U. S. hopper dredge Mackenzie removed 67,724 cubic yards from the turning basin and the channel immediately downstream thereof. The total costs and expenditures were $7,311.01. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1937. At the end of the fiscal year, the controlling depth in the deep-water channel and in the middle portion of the turning basin was 24 feet. The depths near the sides of the turning basin averaged about 20 feet. Upstream from the turning basin there was a con- trolling depth of 6 feet to the nonproject channel to the Municipal Yacht Harbor on Boundary Slough; thence it gradually lessened to zero at the head of the project. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $249,465.26 for new work ($129,893.03 from United States funds and $119,572.23 from contributed funds) and $53,834.42 for maintenance, a total of $303,299.68. The expenditures were $303,299.68 ($183,- 727.45 from United States funds and $119,572.23 from contributed funds). Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $20,000 will be applied to maintenance, redredging the project 27-foot channel and turning basin, by Government hopper dredge, November and December 1941. No work is contemplated for the fiscal year 1943.

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. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel about 1' 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, 630 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; a total channel length of 81/2 miles. The project provides also for an entrance chan- nel to the outer harbor, 30 feet deep and 800 feet wide at the bay end, narrowing to 600 feet at the pierhead line. The project 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 maintenance 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 pierhead 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, two of which (at Park Street and High Street) have been 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 2 feet, and the extreme range is about 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 1808 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.' ARMY, 1941 expenditure of $1,035,000. The latest (1940) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $75,000.

I Contain latest published maps. 2 Public Res. No. 28, 70th Cong. Local cooperation.-The act of January 21, 1927, provided, among other requirements, that local interests shall contribute 10 cents per cubic yard for material dredged in the tidal canal (approximately $50,000), with the privilege of using such material for land reclama- tion; and that the. future maintenance by the United States of the north channel in Brooklyn Basin be contingent upon the removal by local interests of all sewers emptying therein, or in lieu of such re- moval, upon the contribution of one-half of the cost of maintenance (H. Doc. No. 407, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). These requirements have not been fulfilled.- All other requirements have been fulfilled. 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.) Operationsand results during fiscal year.-As maintenance, by sep- arate contracts, 5,486 cubic yards of sand and gravel were removed from a shoal in the tidal canal, and 415 tons of stone were placed on the north jetty. The total costs and expenditures were $3,736.22. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 82- percent completed. The work remaining to be done was the deepenming to 25 feet of the tidal canal above the Park Street Bridge. In April 1941, the controlling depths were 28 feet across the shoal southeast RIVERS AND HARBORS--SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1809 of Yerba Buena Island and in the entrance channel to the inner harbor; 27 feet in the entrance channel to the outer harbor; 30 feet in the inner harbor channel between the entrance and Brooklyn Basin; 26 feet in the main channel in Brooklyn Basin and in the turning basin at the eastern end thereof; and 19 feet for a width of 200 feet in the north channel in Brooklyn Basin. At the end of the fiscal year, the controlling depth was 28 feet in the tidal canal to a point 200 feet westerly from Park Street; thence it was 18 feet to San Leandro Bay. Somewhat less depths than those above applied at and adjacent to the channel edges. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $1,218,009.23 for new work ($1,134,462.21 from United States funds, and $83,547.02 from contributed funds) and $1,526,767.81 for mainte- nance, a total of $2,744,777.04. The expenditures were $2,744,777.04 ($2,661.230.02 from United States funds and $83,547.02 from con- tributed funds). Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $20,000, will be applied to maintenance, removing various shoal areas throughout the project channels, by Government hopper dredge, December 1941 and January 1942. The additional sum of $30,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 for maintenance, removing various shoal areas in the inner harbor and in the entrance channels to the inner and outer harbors, by Government hopper dredge, December 1942 and January 1943.

Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5532.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 30 feet deep from San Francisco Bay to the Santa Fe Channel (Ellis Slough), 400 feet wide between the bay and the basin at terminal No. 1; thence 500 feet wide to Point Potrero, with an increased width 1,150 feet at the turn off that lpoint; thence widening from 700 feet just east of Point Potrero to 850 feet at a point 575 feet northerly therefrom; thence 850 feet wide to the Santa Fe Channel; for widening and flaring the basin at terminal No. 1 and the subsequent maintenance, to a depth of 30 feet, of the basin as thus enlarged to within 75 feet of the pierhead line; for the maintenance to a depth of 30 feet in the Santa Fe Channel to within 50 feet of the established harbor lines; for approach areas 32 feet deep to within 75 feet of the pierhead line in the outer harbor at Point San Pablo, Point Orient, and Richmond Long wharf; and for a training wall 10,000 feet long extending in a general westerly direction from Brooks Island. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.8 feet, with an extreme range of about 11 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1938, is $1,411,000. The latest (1938) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $45,500.

Recommended modification of project.-Under date of April 23, 1940, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project for improvement of Richmond Harbor, to provide a chan- nel 150 feet wide and 20 feet deep at mean lower low water, from deep RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1811 water in San Pablo Bay, easterly along the north side of Point San Pablo, at an estimated first cost of $25,000, subject to certain condi- tions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 715, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). 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 widening north of Point Potrero authorized by that act be undertaken until assurances are received that industries will avail themselves of the improved navigation facilities. These requirements have not been complied with. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Te~ninal facilities.-In the inner harbor there are two modern deep-water terminals, one oil wharf, one lumber wharf, one private general-cargo wharf, six 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.-As new work, by con- tract, 23,107 cubic yards of material other than rock and 5,569 cubic yards of rock were removed from the widening of the turn in the inner harbor channel at Point Potrero. The cost was $34,194.59., The expenditures were $59,082.62. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 93 per- cent completed. The work remaining to be done was the widening of the channel north of Point Potrero as authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved June 20, 1938. In May 1941, the following controlling depths existed in the areas described: Inner harbor chan- nel from San Francisco Bay to the Junction with the Santa Fe Channel, 25 feet, except that lesser depths existed along the edges of the channel and in some other areas on the sides of the channel not used by deep-water navigation; turning basin at terminal No. 1, 27 feet; Santa Fe channel, 29 feet; approach areas to wharves in the outer harbor at Point San Pablo, Point Orient, and Long Wharf, 31 feet. The cost of the existing project to the end of the, fiscal year was $1,313,010.90 for new work ($683.233.24 from regular funds, $105,000 from Public Works funds and $524,777.66 from contributed funds), and $361,179.58 for maintenance ($326,379.38 from United States funds and $34,800.20 from contributed funds), a total of $1,674,190.48 ($1,114,612.62 from United States funds and $559,577.86 from con- tributed funds). The total expenditures were $1,674,190.48, of which $1,009,612.62 was from regular funds, $105,000 from Public Works funds and $559,577.86 from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $30,000 will be applied to maintenance, redredging the inner harbor channel and turning basin and the approach areas in the outer harbor, by Government hopper dredge, February and March 1942.

Location.-The channel extends from a point in the lower end of San Pablo Bay west of Pinole Point in a general northeasterly direc- tion across Pinole Shoal in San Pablo Bay to the junction of Carquinez Strait and Mare Island Strait, thence northwesterly in Mare Island Strait along the frontage of the Mare Island Navy Yard. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5533.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 13, 1902, February 27, 1911, and August 8, 1917. For further details see page 1680, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for dredging a channel across Pinole Shoal in San Pablo Bay 600 feet wide and 35 feet deep; thence through Mare Island Strait a channel 700 feet wide and 30 feet deep flaring to a turning basin generally 1,000 feet wide from existing dike 6, Mare Island, to a line 75 feet southerly from the causeway between Vallejo and Mare Island, 30 feet deep, except at the northerly end where the project depth is 26 feet. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean RIVERS AND HARBORS-S!AN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1813 higher high water is 5.9 feet at the lower end of San Pablo Bay, and 6.0 feet opposite the Mare Island Navy Yard, with an extreme range of about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938, is $295,000 exclu- sive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1938) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $195,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Feb. 27, 1011 A depth of 30 feet through Pinole Shoal---------........ H. Doc.

The latest published map is in House Document No. 217, Seventy seventh Congress, third session. Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of November 7, 1940, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the existing project be modified so as to provide two approach areas 20 feet deep, to within 50 feet of the pierhead line adjacent to the improved waterfront at Vallejo and South Vallejo, at an estimated first cost of $7,600, with $2,500 annually for maintenance, in addition to the amount now required; and for maintenance of the two approach areas to the navy- yard piers at the southern end of Mare Island, without further increase in costs (H. Doc. No. 217, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-There are 3 wharves along the southern shore of San Pablo Bay, 11 wharves along the southern shore of Carquinez Strait, and 5 on the northern shore of this strait; in Mare Island Strait there are 6 commercial wharves and 2 ferry slips, in addition to the navy-yard facilities. The facilities are adequate. (See Port Series No. 12, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-As new work, 38,680 cubic yards were removed by contract from Commission Rock in the Mare Island Strait Channel. As maintenance, the U. S. hopper dredges Mackenzie, Michie, and Pacific removed 2,714,199 cubic yards from the Mare Island Strait Channel and turning basin and the Mackenzie removed 1,024,848 cubic yards from the channel across Pinole Shoal. The costs were $14,885.22 for new work and $153,430.29 for maintenance, a total of $168,315.51. The expenditures were $170,978.16. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was 70 percent com- pleted. The work remaining to be done is the extension of the turn- ing basin southerly to dike 6. At the end of the year, the controlling depth in the Pinole Shoal Channel was 31 feet. In Mare Island Strait, the channel was 700 feet wide from the entrance to Fifteenth Street, Mare Island, extended; thence it widened to the turning basin, gen- erally 1,000 feet wide. The controlling depths were 28 feet to the 1814 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 new piers and berthing facilities being constructed by the Navy De- partment; thence 25 feet to near the head of the project. Dredging, to improve these depths, was done in July 1941 and was scheduled for performance intermittently during the fiscal year 1942. The costs of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $205.303.85 for new work and $1,109,182.51 for maintenance, a total of $1,314,486 36. The expenditures were $1,123,954.72. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $94,889.44, together with $3,116.33 accounts receivable and $100,000 allotted in July 1941, a total of $198,005.77, will be ap- plied as follows: New work: Completion of the project turning basin, Mare Island Strait, by contract, September to December 1941 --------------- _ $1C00, 000. 00 Maintenance: Redredging the channel across the Pinole Shoal and the existing channel and turning basin in Mare Island Strait, by Government hopper dredge, about 31/3 months intermittently during the year-----------------------------------------98, 005.77 Total-------------- ----------- ------------- 198, 005. 77 The additional sum of $150,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 for maintenance, dredging in the channel across Pinole Shoal and in the channel and turning basin in Mare Island Strait, by Government hopper dredge, 5 months intermittently throughout the year.

The tidal range between mean lower. low water and mean higher high water is 5.6 feet, and the extreme tidal range is about 11 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1938, is $565,000. The latest (1938) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $15,000. 1820 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938 (H. Doec. No. 619, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). The latest published map is in that document. Local cooperation.-The act of June 20, 1938, requires that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, the right to obtain the required stone from a quarry approved by the Chief of En- gineers, and suitable spoil-disposal areas, together with necessary impounding works, for initial work and for subsequent maintenance as may be required; undertake to plant and maintain suitable grasses or shrubbery to control the sands on the dunes west of the bay; and agree to construct a suitable fish-receiving and shipping plant adjacent to the shore channel. The required grasses have been planted and are being maintained. The other requirements are in process of fulfillment. Terminal facilities.-There are 12 small fishing and pleasure wharves and landings, all privately owned. These are adequate for existing needs, but will not be adequate for the commerce that will result from the construction of the project facilities. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Surveys were made for the preparation of plans and specifications for constructing the proj- ect. The costs were charged to examinations, surveys, and contin- gencies (general). Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the project; the conditions are generally as described in the project document. There have been no costs nor expenditures. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $540,000 will be applied to new work, constructing all the project works (except the reconstruction of the jetties with con- crete, which it is expected will be necessary after 2 years), August 1941 to May 1942. No work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1943.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1821 10. NOYO RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This stream rises in the Coast Range Mountains and flows westerly, emptying into the Pacific Ocean through Noyo Cove, about 135 miles northwest of San Francisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5703.) Previous projects.--Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of September 22, 1922. For further details see page 1680, Annual Re- port for 1929, and page 1772, Annual Report for 1930. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 10 feet deep and 100 feet wide and a channel in the river 10 feet deep and 150 feet wide extending to the highway bridge at Noyo, to be obtained by dredging and jetty construction. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.8 feet. The extreme range is about 11.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1930, was $180,000. The latest approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (S. Doc. No. 156, 71st Cong., 2d sess). The latest pub- lished map is contained in this document. Recommended modifications of project.--Under date of March 19, 1940, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the project of Noyo River be designated as Noyo River and Harbor and be modified to provide for the construction of a rubble-mound breakwater extend- ing northwesterly about 1,100 feet from the south headland of Noyo Harbor, at an estimated cost of $600,000 for new work and $17,500 annually for maintenance in addition to that now required; subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 682, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are four wharves for unloading fish, three oil terminals for fueling fishing boats, and one boat-repair plant equipped with marine railway. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Under a contract for redredging the entire project channel, a dredge was moved by rail to Noyo River, but dredging had not begun at the end of the fiscal year. The work was maintenance. The costs were $610.40. The expenditures were $182.89. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1931. At the end of the fiscal year, the controlling depth was 4 feet, but dredging was about to begin to restore project depth. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $183,684.66 for new work and $38,230.70 for maintenance, a total of $221,915.36. The expenditures were $221,903.99. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $45,310.84, together with $23.88 accounts receivable, a total of $45,334.72, will be applied to maintenance, redredging the entire project channel by contract in force at the beginning of the fiscal year. No work is contemplated in the fiscal year 1943. 1822 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

HUMBOLDT HARBOR AND BAY, CALIF. Location.-Humboldt Bay is a small landlocked harbor on the coast of California, 225 miles north of San Francisco Bay and 70 miles south of Crescent City Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5832.) Previous prosects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1881, Sentember 19, 1890, July 3, 1892, March 3, 1899, and March 2, 1907. For further details see pages 1982-84 of Annual Report for 1915, page 1673 of Annual Report for 1929, and page 1689 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for two rubble-mound jetties at the entrance-the north jetty about 4,500 feet in length and the south jetty 5,100 feet lone, not including shore revetments; for an entrance channel with suitable alinement 30 feet deep and 500 feet wide; for a channel 26 feet deep and 400 feet wide from deep water in Humboldt Bay to the foot of N Street, Eureka; a channel 26 feet RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1823 deep and 300 feet wide across Indian Island Shoal to Samoa; a channel 18 feet deep and 150 feet wide to Arcata wharf; and a channel 26 feet deep and 300 feet wide to Fields Landing, with a turning basin 600 feet wide and 800 feet long off the Fields Landing wharf. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.4 feet at the south jetty and 6.7 feet at Eureka. The extreme range is 12.5 feet at the south jetty and 12 feet at Eureka. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $2,793,000, of which $95,000 was contributed by local interests. This estimate is exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance dredging is $58,000. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of the jetties.

(Con- Landing wharf. tains latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 36 wharves and 7 small-boat land- ings. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredges Michie and Pacific removed 81,997 cubic yards of material from the northerly portion of the Fields Landing Channel. Re- pairs were made to the north jetty with Government plant and hired labor; 15,158 cubic yards of concrete and 1,705 tons of salvaged stone were placed therein. This work was under way at the end of the fiscal year. All of the work was maintenance. The costs were $6,336.90 for dredging and $144,183.37 for jetty repairs, including patrolling of the jetties during the winter, a total of $150,520.27. The expenditures were $148,030.58. Condition a~ end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. The nrth jetty was completed in 1925, the south jetty in 1927, the Arcata Channel in 1931, the Fields Landing Channel and turning basin, and the Samoa and Eureka Channels in 1939. At the end of the fiscal year the controlling depth in the various channels was as follows: Samoa Channel 28 feet, Eureka Channel 28 feet to B Street extended, thence 22 feet to the head of the project, Fields Landing Channel 19 feet over a bar near the northerly end, thence 24 feet to Fields Landing. On July 1, 1940, a depth of 30 feet was available in the southwesterly entrance chan- nel to the bay and in the channel between the jetties. Sea conditions 1824 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 prevented surveys of these channels since the above date. In May 1937 the Arcata Channel was 18 feet deep. The total cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $6,880,863.87, of which $2,873,887.78 ($2,778,887.78 from United States funds and $95,000 from contributed funds) was for new work and $4,006,976.09 was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $6,871,142.35 ($6,776,142.35 from United States funds and $95,000 from contributed funds). Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $165,122.85, together with $2,668.20 accounts receivable, a total of $167,791.05, will be applied to maintenance as follows: Completion of repairs to the north jetty and the making of tempo- rary repairs to the south jetty by Government plant and hired labor, July to November 1941 ---------------------------- $152,791.05 Redredging the various project channels in the bay by Government hopper dredge, March 1942------------------------------- 15, 000. 00 Total--------- ----------------------------------- 167, 791. 05 The additional sum of $130,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 for maintenance, as follows: Repairs to the south jetty at the entrance to the bay, by Government plant and hired labor, July to November 1942------------------ $100, 000 Redredge the various project channels in the bay, by Government hopper dredge, October and November 1942--------------------- 30, 000 Total --------------------------------------------- 130, 000 Cost and financia summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1941-------------------------- $5, 040, 258. 71 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1941----------------------- 4, 105, 181. 84 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1941--------- 9, 145, 440. 55 Undistributed costs June 30, 1941 ---------------------------- , 873.11 Net total cost to June 30, 1941----------------------- 9, 152, 313.66 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1941 ---------------------- 2, 668. 20 Gross total costs to June 30, 1941---------------- ---- 9,154, 981. 86 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1941------------------1------ 9, 262. 83 Net total expenditures----------------------------- 9, 135. 719. 03 Unexpended balance June 30, 1941--- ----------------- --- 165, 122. 85 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1941------------- 9, 300, 841. 88 Fiscal year ending June 30 1937 1938 1939 1940 1941 Cost of new work ....... $221, 790. 45 $97, 240. 44 ............

Location.-San Joaquin River rises in the Sierra Nevada and flows 317 miles westerly and northerly to Suisun Bay. Existing 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 Stock- ton Channel; and for a channel 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide in Mor- mon Channel from its mouth to Center Street, head of navigation, 1.7 miles. It also provides for suitable passing basins and a turning basin' at Stockton; for a triangular-shaped settling 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, 1,2.00 feet long, and 100 feet wide, adjoining the deep-water channel at the mouth of Calaveras River; for the re- construction 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 Laird 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 Channel to Hills Ferry, 86 miles, to facilitate light-draft navigation on this part of the river during higher stages of water.

The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $5,455,000. This amount includes $1,307,500 contributed by local interests toward the cost of dredging. The latest (1937) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $181,000 during the first year and $111,000 annually thereafter. 425144-41-pt. 1, vol. 2- 47 1832 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents These acts provided for cutting off sharp bends Aug. 14,1876 and making cut-offs in San Joaquin River below Mar. 3,1881 the mouth 'of Stockton Channel; dredging Mor- July 5,1884 mon Channel; snagging, removing obstructions, Aug. 11,1888 and constructing wing dams in San Joaquin July 13,1892 River from Stockton Channel to Hills Ferry, Aug. 18,1894 and the partial closing of side channels at Laird June 3,1896 Slough and Paradise Cut, without adopting any specific dimensions.

No. 15, 75th Cong., 1st sess.' 1Contains latest published maps. 2 Included in the Public Works Administration program Sept. 6, 1933. 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 nec- essary 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 32 miles of public belt railroad. All except two oil terminal piers 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 storage tanks, a large storage tank for crude mo- lasses, and bank of silos for cement storage, there are numerous pub- licly 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 woork.-The 30-foot channel to Stockton was widened by the excavation of 1,053,437 cubic yards from the mouth of Stockton Channel to a point 41/2 miles down- stream, by a dredge under contract, at a cost of $114,082.20. Miscel- laneous spoil-area work, including clearinfg brush and grading, cost $1,298.55. Preliminary surveys, by hired labor, cost $1,249.11. Maintenance.-Preparationfor future dredging work, of a spoil area at Louis Park, near Stockton, by hired labor, cost $7,034.31. Miscellaneous surveys and inspections cost $3,476.62. Total cost for the fiscal year was $127,140.79, of which $116,629.86 was for new work, and $10,510.93 for maintenance; total expenditures RIVERS AND I ARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1833 were $207,891.84, which, with a reimbursement of $257,457.60 from another allotment, made a net minus expenditure of $49,565.76. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 95 per- cent completed, the work remaining to be done being the dredging of a 9-foot channel in Mormon Channel to Center Street, Stockton; 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 mouth of the river in Suisun Bay to Mormon Channel, 41 miles, is 22 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 bridge (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 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 Docu- ment No. 256, Sixty-third Congress, first session. 1836 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS,, U. S. ARMY, 1941 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 $1,487. Surveys and inspections cost $1,090.53. Total cost was $2,577.53 for maintenance; total expenditures, $2,436.40. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1910. Most of the silt formerly deposited in Stockton and Mormon Channels is diverted therefrom by this canal, thereby ob- viating serious inconveniences to navigation and the expensive annual dredging. The total cost was $357,258.47, of which $253,151.03 was for new work and $104,107.44 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $357,190.88. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $2,000, will be applied to payment of accounts payable, $67.59, and maintenance, including miscellaneous inspections, and removal of brush, overhanging trees, and other obstructions from the channels and banks of both sections of the diverting canal, by hired labor and Government plant, in September to November 1941. The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 for maintenance, as follows: 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, July to September 1942-------------- $2, 000 Dredging deposits of silt from the Calaveras section of the diverting canal, by contract, December 1942----------------------------2, 500 Miscellaneous inspections, during entire fiscal year------------------- -- 500 Total for maintenance------------------------------------5, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1941 ------------------------- $253, 151.03 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1941 107. 44 1-------------------------04, Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1941-------------357, 258. 47 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1941 7. 59 6----------------------- Net total expenditures-- 357, 190. 88 _------------------- Unexpended balance June 30, 1941---------------------------- 2, 000. 00 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1941------------- 359,190.88 Fiscal year ending June 30 1937 1938 1939 1940 1941 Cost of new work------------ Cost of maintenance..------------- $2, 863.99 $1, 925. 21 $2, 428. 40 $4, 490. 06 $2, 577. 53 Total expended ----------------- 2, 912. 15 1, 968. 54 2, 446. 87 60 4, 5663. 2, 436. 40 Allotted---------------------..................... -2, 000. 00 3, 000. 00 5, 000. 00 2, 000. 00 2, 000. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1940 ------------------------------ $2, 436. 40 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act ap- proved May 23, 1941-- ------------------------------------- 2, 000. 00 Amount to be accounted for___---------- - 4, 436. 40 Gross amount expended- - . $2, 524. 92 RIVERS AND HARBORSr---SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1837 Less reimbursements collected------------------------ $88. 52 $2, 436. 40 Balance unexpended June 30, 1941------------------------ 2, 000. 00 Outstanding liabilities June 30, 1941------------------------------ 67. 59 Balance available June 30, 1941 ----- 932. 41 1,------------------- Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1943, for maintenance --------------------------------- 5, 000.00 1 Exclusive of available funds. 3. 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 ob- structions 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 upstream 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. Ordinary 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 session. 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. A minus expendi- ture of $47 resulted from collection of reimbursements. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1885. Controlling depths are as shown in the table under Existing Project, except in the first section, where 12 feet is the controlling depth; in the third section, where 2 feet is the controlling depth; and 1838 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 in the fourth section, where 8 feet is the controlling depth. The chan- nel 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 cost and expenditures were $74,037.01, of which $8,500 was for new work and $65,537.01 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $4,600.31, will be applied to maintenance during the fiscal year 1942, for removing snags, overhanging trees and other ob- structions, by hired labor and Government plant, and possibly dredg- ing shoals, by contract. The additional sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 for maintenance, as follows: Dredging sand bars and shoals by contract, from mouth to New Hope Landing, July or August 1942--------------------------------- $1, 200 Removing snags, overhanging trees, and other obstructions, by hired labor and Government plant, September 1942------------------------------- 800 Total for maintenance--- --------------------------------- 2, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1941---------------------------- $8, 500. 00 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1941---- -------------- -------- 5, 537. 01 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1941 7--------------4, 037. 01 ,74, Net total expenditures --------------------- 037.01 Uihexpended' balance June 30, 1941-- -------------------------- 4, 600. 31 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1941 ---------------- 78, 637. 32 Fiscal year ending June 30 1937 1938 1939 1940 1941 Cost of new work ..................................... . .. - - - Cost of maintenance .- - $5, 062. 74 ............ $1, 237 61 $219.76 Total expended -..... .-..-----4, 870.85 $191.89 1, 237. 61 266. 76 -$17.00 Allotted----------------------- 3, 300. 00 1,800. 00 2, 000. 00 1, 000.00 1, 000.00 Balance unexpended Julv 1, 1940 ---------------------------- $3, 553. 31 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act ap- proved May 23, 1941 -------------------------------------- 1,000. 00 Amount to be accounted for------------- --------------- 4, 553. 31 Gross amount expended ------------------------------- $3. 00 Less reimbursements collected---------------------------50. 00 -- 47. 00 Balance unexpended June 30, 1941--------- ------------- 4,600. 31 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, - - -- - -- - -- - - -- - -- - -- - - -- - -- - - -- - -- - - 1943, for maintenance 2, 000. 00 1 Exclusive of available funds. 4. 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.) RIVERS AND HARBOSr----SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1839 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. 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.

For map of the section below Sacramento, see H. Doc. No. 1123, 60th Cong., 2d sess. 1840 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Recommended modifeiations 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 Landing 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 ware- house facilities at Rio Vista, 19 large wharves, about 38 large ware- houses, 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 cleared 21/2 acres of brush from the channel, near Butte City (mile 169), at a cost of $235.14; repaired or partially reconstructed wing dams at a cost of $2,084.53; and made general and miscellaneous surveys at a cost of $194.19. At and below Sacramento: The Government pipe-line dredge San Joaquin and hired labor removed 412,617 cubic yards from the river between M and Y Streets, Sacramento, at a cost of $46,791.74, including routine spoil-area and pipe-line work; similarly, 191,271 cubic yards were removed from the river between I Street and the mouth of American River, at a cost of $23,255.39. Special- work on spoil areas, including installation of concrete drain pipe, rebuilding roads covered by dredge spoil, and grading, cost $14,233.72. Cost of easements for spoil areas, including some areas used for previous dredging, was $27,693.12. Hired labor and Government plant re- paired or partially reconstructed wing dams at various locations, at a cost of $2,505.19, and removed 482 snags and other obstructions from the channel and banks at a cost of $1,692.98. Clamshell dredg- ing plant, under an hourly basis contract for its hire and operation, removed 66,948 cubic yards from the main channel, and from Steam- boat Slough, from 4 to 42 miles below Sacramento, at a cost of $11,893.04. General and miscellaneous surveys of the river and mis- cellaneous expenses cost $2,314.40. Total cost was $132,893.44 for maintenance; total expenditures were $123,960.64. 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 1940 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; thence to Butte City, 23/4 feet; and thence to Sidds RIVERS AND HARBORS---SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1841 Landing, 21/2 feet. There is no regular navigation above Sidds Land- ing, 178 miles above the mouth, and no maintenance work has been done above this point since 1921. The total cost was $3,734,316.52, of which $196,616.74 was for new work and $3,537,699.78 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $3,730,502.31. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $195,017.71, will be expended as follows: Accounts payable----------------------------------------- $3, 814.21 Maintenance: Dredging at Sacramento by contract, July to September 1941, including spoil-area work and acquisition of lands and rights- of-way---- ------------------------------------- 114,000. 00 Dredging below Sacramento by contract, August 1941--------- 12, 000.00 Snagging below Sacramento by hired labor and Government plant, December 1941-------------------------------7, 000. 00 Maintenance of wing-dam system at and below Sacramento by hired labor and Government plant, July to November 1941 22, 000. 00 Dredging above Sacramento by contract, September 1941------- 5, 000. 00 Snagging above Sacramento by hired labor and Government plant, July to November 1941-------- ------- ----------- 20, 000. 00 Maintenance of wing-dam system above Sacramento by hired labor and Government plant, July to November 1941---------6, 000. 00 Miscellaneous surveys, above and below Sacramento, during fiscal year ----------------------------------------------- 5,203. 50 Total for maintenance---------------------------- 191,203.50 Grand total------------------- ------------------- 195, 017. 71 The additional sum of $605,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943, as follows: New work (to provide the 6-foot channel from Sacramento to Colusa, and 5-foot channel thence to Chico Landing, upon completion of Shasta Dam and Reservoir) : Construction of contraction works (between Butte City and Chico Landing), July to December 1942----------------------- $360,000 Dredging various shoals, between Colusa and Chico Landing, by clamshell dredging plant under contract for its hire and opera- tion, August to October 1942 ---------------------------- 30, 000 Total, for new work--------------------------------- 390, 000 Maintenance: Dredging at Sacramento by contract, July to October 1942 and June 1943-------- ---------------------------------- 120,000 Dredging below Sacramento by contract, August 1942------------- 14, 000 Snagging below Sacramento by hired labor and Government plant, December 1942------------------------------------------7,500 Maintenance of wingdam system at and below Sacramento, by hired labor and Government plant, July to November 1942------ 25, 000 Dredging above Sacramento by contract, August 1942------------- 4, 000 Snagging above Sacramento, by hired labor and Government plant, July to October 1942_ ----------------------------------- 23, 500 Maintenance of wingdam system above Sacramento, by hired labor and Government plant, July to November 1942--------------- 12, 000 General survey of river during fiscal year--------------------- 9, 000 Total for maintenance ------------------------------ 215, 000 Grand total ----------------- 605, 000 1842 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 19.38. 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 contribu- tion already made by local interests in accordance with the require- ment of River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916. RIVERS AND HARBORSr-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1843 The latest (1931) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance 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.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are several small landings, all privately owned. All other traffic is handled on the bank. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hired labor with Gov- ernment plant was used to remove snags and brush from the channel in the vicinity of Nicolaus, 91/2 miles above the mouth, at a cost of $388.11, for maintenance. Total expenditures were $390.46. Condition at end of fiscal year.-This project is one of maintenance and requires the removal of obstructions and construction of wing dams as needed. 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 total cost and expenditure under the existing project was $4,742.91 for maintenance. In addition, $3,840.10 was expended from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $736.04, will be applied during the fiscal year 1942 to maintenance, in removing obstructions from the channel and banks by snagging, wing dams, and dredging work, by hired labor and Gov- ernment plant. The additional sum of $1,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 for maintenance, in removing obstructions from the channel and banks by snagging, wing dam work, and dredging, by hired labor 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 motith 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 proiect 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 man is in the project document. 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 /ear.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted 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 expenditures were $7,645.52, of which $6,754.22 was for new work and $891.30 for maintenance.

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 portion; 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, 71/2, and 121/2 miles below Suisun; the removal of ledge rock from the channel at a loca- tion 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 H. Doc.

ARMY, 1941 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 been fulfilled except for the public terminals, which will be completed after the harbor dredging is done. It is anticipated 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 will be increased in compliance with the provisions of local coop- eration as land has been purchased, financing arranged, and plans have been prepared for construction when dredging plant can be obtained economically. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Surveys with soundings, 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 $650.62, for new work. Total expenditures were $540.99. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was 18 per- cent completed. The work remaining to be done is to provide a channel with depth of 8 feet at mean lower low water, with the au- thorized project widths from Suisun Bay to and in the basin at the town of Suisun, including straightening by four cut-offs and widening at four bends; the removal of ledge rock from 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 accord- ance with the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937. The con- trolling depth is 8 feet in the channel and harbor basin. The costs under the existing project were $29 220.63 for new work and $31,922.64 for maintenance; total, $61,143.27. Total expenditures were $61,083.64. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $6 323.77, will be applied to payment of accounts pay- able, $59.63, and to maintenance dredging of channels in Suisun Channel, from its mouth in Suisun Bay to and in the harbor basin at Suisun, by contract, April or May 1942. The sum of $135,500, to be allotted will be applied to completion of the project 8-foot channel from the mouth of Suisun Channel to and in the harbor basin at the town of Suisun, including channel cut-offs and widening. The additional sum of $4,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943, for maintenance dredging of channels in Suisun Channel and in harbor basin at Suisun, by contract, May or June 1943.

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 21/2 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 and 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 51/- 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. 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.-Localinterests are required to furnish without cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suitable 1850 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.- ARMY, 1941 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. Spoil-disposal areas have been provided for those channels so far completed. Completion of the project is being held in abeyance pending fulfillment of all requirements for local cooperation. 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 land- ings along the project channels, some have sheds for storage. Public landings should be provided as set forth above under "Local cooperation." Operations and results during fiscal year.-Clamshell dredging plant, operating under contract for its hire and operation, removed 105,946 cubic yards from the channel in places, from Grant Line Canal to the Holly sugar factory near Tracy, at a cost of $12,064.91, including cost of surveys and removal of obstructions. Grading of spoil deposits' by hired labor cost $2,313.95. Total costs for the year were $14,378.86 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $16,761.73. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 32 percent completed, 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 remaining re- quirements 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, 9 feet; thence (a) to Holly sugar factory near Tracy, 41/2 feet, and (b) to head of Old River in San Joaquin River, 51/2 feet. The total cost was $56,510.50, of which $23,184.86 was for new work and $33,325.64 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $56,510.50. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $28,489.50, will be applied as follows: New work: Dredging portions of channels at locations and to dimen- sions specified under the existing project, in Old River, Fabian-Bell Canal, Grant Line Canal, and various cuts or channels in or connect- ing with Old River, by clamshell dredging plant, under contract for its hire and operation, August to October 1941 (including removal of obstructions) ---------------------------------------- $13, 000. 00 Maintenance: Dredging channels of the Old River system, including cuts, canals, and sloughs, to restore project dimensions, by clam- shell dredging plant under contract for its hire and operation, October to December 1941---------------------------------15, 489.,50 Grand total ------------------------------------- 28,489.50 'RIVERS AND HARBOR&S-ACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1851 The additional sum of $40,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943, the sum of $25,000 being for new work dredging in the above channels; and the sum of $15,000 being for maintenance dredg- ing in channels of the Old River system, including cuts, canals, and sloughs, to restore project dimensions; all work to be done by clamshell dredging plant under contract for its hire and operation, September to December 1942.

BIG DRY CREEK RESERVOIR AND DIVERSION, CALIFORNIA Location.-The streams comprising the Fresno County group are Big Dry Creek, Dog Creek, Redbank Creek and Fancher Creek. All of them rise in the Sierra Nevada, near the foothills, from 17 to 31 miles northeasterly from Fresno, Calif., and follow nearly parallel courses in a southwesterly direction toward Clovis and Fresno. Por- tions of the channels of these creeks, after entering the valley floor, serve as part of'large and complicated systems of irrigation canals. The creeks eventually empty directly into the San Joaquin River, or indirectly through Murphy Slough, at various points northwesterly and southwesterly of Fresno, Calif. (See U. S. Geological Survey quadrangles of the area.) Ewisting project.-This provides for construction of a detention reservoir, with a storage capacity of 20,200 acre-feet, on Big Dry Creek about 10 miles northeast of Fresno; for diverting the flood waters of Dog Creek to a point on Big Dry Creek above the reservoir; and for constructing a diversion canal from the reservoir northwest- erly to Little Dry Creek, a tributary of the San Joaquin River. The improvements will control floods on Big Dry and Dog Creeks consid- erably greater than any of recent occurrence and will provide complete protection to the cities of Fresno and Clovis and their suburban areas. The estimated Federal cost is $510,000 for construction, and the esti- mated local cost is $107,000 for land and damages. The existing proj- ect was adopted by the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941. (See 1854 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERSI, U. S. ARMY, 1941 H. Doc. No. 845, 76th Cong., 3d sess., which contains the latest pub- lished map.) Local cooperation.--Local interests are required to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way neces- sary for the construction of the project, hold and save the United States free from claims for damages due to construction and mainte- nance of the project, bear the expense of bridge construction, and maintain and operate all the works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. Responsible local interests have indicated that they will meet these requirements. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work on this project has not been started. Proposed operations.-No operations are proposed for the fiscal year 1942. The amount of $510,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943, as follows: New work: Construction of detention reservoir, with two outlets, spillway, . and stilling basin, on Big Dry Creek, by contract, August 1942 to May 1943-----------------------------------------$435, 000 Construction of diversion structure and canal, for diverting flood waters of Dog Creek to a point on B'g Dry Creek above the reser- voir, by contract, April to June 1943____________------------------------ 31, 500 Construction of diversion canal, from the reservoir northwest to Little Dry Creek, by contract, July to December 1942-----------43, 500 Total for new work ------------------------------------ 510, 000 Cost and ftnancial summary Cost of new work to June 30. 1941_.................................

SNAGGING AND CLEARING UNDER AUTHORITY OF SECTION 2 OF THE FLOOD CONTROL ACT APPROVED AUGUST 28, 1937 The Flood Control Act approved August 28, 1937, as amended by the Flood Control Acts approved August 11, 1939, and August 18, 1941, authorized the allotment of not to exceed $500,000 from the flood- control appropriations for any one fiscal year for the removal of ac- cumulated snags and other debris from, and the clearing and straight- ening of channels in navigable streams and tributaries thereof, when such work is advisable in the interest of flood control; provided that not more than $25,000 shall be allotted for this purpose for any single tributary from the appropriations for any one fiscal year. The following work was done during the fiscal year by hired labor, with rented plant: RIVERS AND HARBORSr---SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1855 (a)'Sacramento River and tributaries.-Butte,Glenn, and Tehama Counties: On Sacramento River, between Red Bluff and Chico Land- ing, 107 acres along the river banks were cleared of brush and 1,114 trees, logs, and stumps were removed from 51 miles of channel, at a cost of $16,654.86. Tehama County: On Antelope Creek, 18 acres along the creek banks were cleared of brush, and 673 trees and stumps and 2,600 cubic yards of sand and gravel were removed from 121/2 miles of channel, at a cost of $4,000. On Deer Creek, 23.8 acres along the banks were cleared of brush, 1,650 snags, logs, and trees were removed, and also 2.650 cubic yards of sand and gravel, from 13 miles of channel, at a cost of $6,290.16.

Solano County: On Putah Creek, 9,461 snags, logs, and trees were removed or destroyed, 2 acres along the creek banks were cleared of brush, and 9,305 cubic yards of sand and gravel were removed from 111/2 miles of channel, at a cost of $3,000. (b) San Joaquin River and tributaries.-Stanislaus County: On San Joaquin River, between the mouth of Stanislaus River and Crows Landing Bridge, 127 acres along the river banks were cleared of brush for a distance of 203/4 miles along the channel, at a cost of $8,337.41. Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties: On Stanislaus River, from its mouth in San Joaquin River upstream 6 miles, 43 acres along the banks were cleared of brush, at a cost of $2,104.53. The total cost during the fiscal year was $47,051.91, for new work, and total expenditures were $46,217.96. The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, amounting to $1,747.46, will be applied during the fiscal year 1942 to the payment of expenses incurred under this heading.

Locatian.-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 Colum- bia 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1861 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 dredg- ing. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of jetties. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 14,1880 Jetties _------- S. Ex. Doc.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of February 27, 1940, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the existing proj- ect be modified to provide for improvement of Coquille River, Oreg., by the United States, to the extent of providing a channel 13 feet deep at mean lower low water and of suitable width from the sea to a point 1 mile above the Coquille River lighthouse, and for snagging to the State highway bridge at Coquille City, at an estimated cost of $2,000 annually for maintenance in addition to that now required (H. Doc. 672, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). 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 extent of removing snags. No channel dredging has been necessary. Terminal 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.-With regular funds maintenance dredging of the bar was done by Government plant, a total of 64,114 cubic yards being removed at a cost of $11,760.08. Reconstruction of the north jetty, by contract, has been started. At the end of the fiscal year 34,271.46 tons of stone had been placed at a cost of $144,366.75. Total costs for the fiscal year were $159,562.93, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $31,358.42. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1933. The jetties were completed in 1908, and the entrance channel in 1933. The north jetty is being reconstructed by contract. The outer 200 feet of the south jetty enrockment has subsided below the ordinary low-water level. The crest of the remaining portion of the enrockment is above low water. A survey of the entrance in June 1941 shows a controlling depth of 12 feet across the ocean bar and 1862 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 10 feet between the bar and Bandon, in a channel about 200 feet wide. The total costs under the existing project have been $638,361.15, of which $316,640.21 was for new work and $321,720.94 for maintenance. The total expenditures have been $510,065.35. In addition, $72,891.20 was expended from contributed funds for new work.

COOS RIVER, OREG. Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range in southern Oregon, flows about 60 miles in a westerly direction, and empties into Coos Bay near Marshfield, Oreg. (See U. S. Geological Survey, Coos Bay quadrangle.) Existing project.-This provides for snagging and boulder re- moval 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 improvement includes the mouth and 51/2 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. 1866 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 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. These terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging and snagging was done by hired plant. A total of 13,607 cubic yards of material was dredged and 523 snags removed. Costs for the fiscal year were $2,785.33. Expenditures were $2,663.33. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1899. The controlling depth is about 5 feet in the, main river from the mouth to the forks (51/2 miles) and about 3 feet in the North and South Forks for distances of 81/2 and 9 miles, respectively. The costs have been $69,706.50, of which $8,000 was for new work and $61,706.50 for maintenance. The expenditures have been $69,- 584.50.

Local cooperation.-Under the 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; complied with and approved by the Chief of Engineers March 7, 1940. Prior requirements fully complied with. Terminal 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 frontage and another with about 75 feet of water frontage which has not been used generally for commercial shipping. These terminals are con- sidered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results duing fiscal year.--New work dredging of the channel to Reedsport was completed by contract. A total of 1,562,426 cubic yards was removed at a cost of $189,787.33. Restora- tion of the north jetty was started under continuing contract.

Maintenance dredging of the bar was done by Government plant, a total of 823,049 cubic yards being removed at a cost of $48,- 698.80. Total costs for the fiscal year were $572,641.49, of which $189,787.33 was for new work and $382,854.16 for maintenance; all regular funds. Expenditures were $442,292.46. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1941. The north jetty was completed in 1930. The extension to the south jetty was completed in 1938, and the dredging of a 22-foot channel from the mouth of the river to Reedsport, together with a turning basin at Reedsport was completed in 1941. The south jetty is in fair condition, except that about 1,000 feet of its outer end has been beaten down to low-water level. In June 1941 the controlling depth along the entrance range was 17 feet. In the channel from the entrance to Reedsport and turning basin at Reedsport the controlling depth was 20 feet. The total cost of work under the existing project has been $3,303,- 389,87, of which $2,388,706.06 was for new work and $914,683.81 for maintenance, not including $276,500 for new work from contributed funds.

YAQUINA RIVER, OREG. Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range, flows about 50 miles in a westerly direction, and empties into Yaquina Bay, on the Oregon coast. (See U. S. 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 (constructed by local interests) and for a channel 10 feet deep and generally 150 feet wide in Yaquina River and 200 feet wide in Depot Slough, extending 1870 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 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, includ- ing $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.-Fully complied with, except for the provision that the floating plant belonging to the port of Toledo will remain available for use by the United States on work of maintenance without cost to the United States other than for upkeep while in use. Use of the floating plant has not been required for several years and the port has disposed of it. 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 front- age 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. These terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operationsand results dw-ing 8scal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1914. The controlling depth between the mouth of the river and Toledo is about 8 feet at mean lower low water in a channel 100 feet wide. In Depot Slough the controlling depth is 6 feet. Above Toledo to the head of navigation the controlling depth is about 2 feet in a chann.el 100 feet wide at mean lower low water. The total costs under the existing project have been $70,699.75, of which $28,800 was for new work and $41,899.75 for maintenance, not including $43,200 for new work and $3,000 for maintenance from con- tributed funds. The total expenditures have been $116,899.75, of which $70,699.75 were United States funds and $46,200 contributed funds. Proposed operatiors.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1941, amdunting to $25,999.66, will be applied to maintenance dredging, by contract, December 1941. No work is contemplated and no funds will be required for the fiscal year 1943.

YAQUINA BAY AND HARBOR, OREG. Location.-This bay is located on the Oregon coast, 115 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 6058.) Preious projects.-The River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880, provided for the improvement of the entrance. Subsequent projects were adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 3, 1896, June 6, 1900, and March 3, 1905. For further details see the Annual Report for 1893, part 4, page 3314, House Document No. 68, Fifty-fourth Con- gress, first session, and the Annual Report for 1938, page 1736. 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 iin 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 Ya- quina, a distance of about 41/ 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 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, was $2,048,400, exclusive of the amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1919) approved estimate for cost of maintenance in the bay chan- nel is $5,000 every 2 years to maintain 18 feet. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance dredging in the entrance is $30,000. 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. 1872 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

At Garibaldi 1876 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERSI, U. S. ARMY, 1941 there is a privately owned wharf and a publicly owned float landing suitable for sm'all boats. These facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fscal year.-Maintenance dredging was done with Government plant in the entrance and channel to Miami Cove. A total of 124,164 cubic yards was removed at a cost of $21,817.34. Costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $24,292.40 for maintenance. Condition at end of fscal year.-The existing project was 98 per- cent completed. The jetty was completed in 1933. The jetty is in poor condition with about 800 feet at the outer end below low water level. The 18-foot channel from the entrance to Miami Cove was completed in 1927. No work will be done on the 16-foot Hobsonville Channel until navigation requires deeper water. Survey of July 1940 shows an entrance controlling depth of 20 feet, 13 feet in bay channel to Miami Cove and 11 feet in channel to Hobsonville. The costs under the existing project have been $1,347,006.66, of which $574,446.78 was for new work and $772,559.88 for maintenance, not including $398,832.70 for new work and $6,450 for maintenance from contributed funds. The total expenditures have been $1,752,- 289.36, of which $1,347,006.66 were United States funds and $405,- 282.70 contributed funds. Proposed operations.--The funds unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $78,707.60, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of a seagoing hopper dredge in entrance channel to Miami Cove, a total of about 1 month, September and October 1941------------------------------------- $16, 707. 60 Dredging in bay channel to Miami Cove, by contract, August and September 1941--------- -------------------------- 62, 000. 00 Total ------------------------------------------- 78, 707. 60 The additional sum of $30,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 for maintenance operation of a seagoing hopper dredge in entrance and bay channel to Miami Cove, a total of about 1 months, July and August 1942.

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 Wash'ngton, 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 intervals 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. 1878 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Terminal facilities.-Forterminal and transfer facilities see report on Columbia and lower Willamette Rivers. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance operations were as follows: Work of constructing a concrete terminal at the outer end of the south jetty was started under continuing contract, a total of 37,863.5 tons of stone have been placed at a cost of $210,- 158.48; repairs to yard track, by hired labor, at a cost of $13,493.08; repairs to Sand Island revetments, by hired labor, placing 9,943.6 cubic yards of stone at a cost of $42,380.68. Spur dike 113-3 on east side of jetty A was constructed, by contract, at a cost of $2,389.70. Other maintenance work consisted of topographic and hydro- graphic surveys and repairs to receiving wharf by hired labor. Total costs of maintenance work for the fiscal year were $280,158.48. Expenditures were $144,012.13. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1918. The north jetty is in good condition. On comple- tion of the terminal, now under construction, the south jetty will be in good condition for a distance of 8,000 feet west of the "knuckle." Survey of June 1941 shows the channel eastward 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 6,000 feet. On the outer bar a channel depth of 45 feet is available. Between the ends of the jet- ties the central channel depth is 50 feet. Just inside the entrance, in the vicinity of buoy No. 10, some shoaling has taken place as a result of changes occurring in the configuration 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. Total costs under the existing project have been $20,545,067.69, of which $11,357,506.35 was for new work and $9,187,561.34 for mainteance. The expenditures have been $20,404,- 406.82. In addition, $475,000 and $25,000 were contributed by the ports of Portland and Astoria, respectively, and expended for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1941, includ- ing accounts receivable, amounting to $601,934.98, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable __- ____- ______________ $140, 680. 87 Maintenance : Completion of south jetty restoration, by continuing contract, July to November 1941 -- _----------_____ 402, 000. 00 Hydrographic surveys, operation of U.

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.) 425144-41-pt. 1. vol. 2--50 1880 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1941 Existing project.-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 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 Documents1 July 3, 1930 Channel from deep water in the Columbia River H. Doc. No. 278, 70th Cong., 1st sess. to the railroad bridge. Aug. 26, 1937 For the channel extending upstream from the rail- H. Doc. No. 201, 75th Cong., 1st sess. road bridge a distance of 4,500 feet. 1Contain latest published maps. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied 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 ship- ments. In the channel above the railroad bridge the only facilities are the log dumps used by the log trucks. These facilities are consid- ered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging of the channel between the Columbia River and Warrenton was done by Government plant, a total of 249,000 cubic yards being removed at a total cost of $18,983.94 for the fiscal year. Expenditures were $36,165.47. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939. At the end of the fiscal year the controlling depth was 30 feet in channel to, and turning basin opposite, Youngs Bay Lumber Co. mill; thence 15 feet to railroad bridge at Warrenton. Above the rail- road bridge project depth of 6 feet prevails. The costs of the existing project have been $130,119.35 for new work and $118,335.83 for main- tenance, a total of $248,455.18. Expenditures have been $248,455.18. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1941, amounting to $31,874.62, will be applied to maintenance dredging, by contract, April and May 1942. The additional sum of $30,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1943 for maintenance dredging, by contract, April and May 1943. !RIVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1881 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1941----------------------------- $130, 119. 35 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1941---------------------------- 118, 335. 83 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1941---------------248, 455. 18 Net total expenditures_------------------------------ --- -------- 248, 455. 18 Unexpended balance June 30, 1941 ------------------------------- 31, 874. 62 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1941----------------- 280, 329. 80 Fiscal year ending June 30 1937 1938 1939 1940 1941 Cost of new work_ .. __..------- - - - -__ $8, 693. 75 -------------- Cost of maintennce ...-----------... $20, 000 $15, 000 25, 492.46 $17, 755. 23 $18, 983. 94 Total cost----------------... ........ . 20, 000 15, 000 34, 186. 21 17, 755. 23 18, 983. 94 Total expended__----------- ------- 20, 000 15, 000 34, 150. 13 609. 78 36, 165.47 Allotted....---------------------- 5, 000 35, 000 36, 800. 00 22, 000. 00 24, 000. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1940---------------------------------$44, 040. 09 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act ap- proved May 23, 1941_-------------------------------------__ 24, 000. 00 Amount to be accounted for--------------------------------68, 040. 09 Gross amount expended ----------------------------------------- 36, 165. 47 Balance unexpended June 30, 1941-------------------------- 31, 874. 62 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1943, for maintenance ---------------------------------- __ 30, 000.00 1 Exclusive of available funds. 11. 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, was $5,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,800. 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.-Thereare 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 1882 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERSI U. S. ARMY, 1941 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 Rail- road bridge, and a log d
