Open-channel work, Ohio River___________________________________ 1135 NoTE.-Flood-control projects in the Ohio River Basin are contained in the reports of the districts included in the Ohio River Division. 1. CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS ON THE OHIO RIVER Location.-The Ohio River is formed by the junction of the Alle- gheny and Monongahela Rivers at Pittsburgh, Pa., and flows in a general southwesterly direction for a distance of 981 miles to join the Mississippi River near Cairo, Ill. For 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 1128 REPORT OF CHIEF OF E.NGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1942: ;anal at Louisville, Ky. The project provides for a lock with usable I dimensions of 110li y 600 feet at each dam and in addition an auxiliary .ck 56 by 360 feet at Emsworth, Dashields, Montgomery, and dam ., and 110 by 360 feet at Gallipolis. Dashields is a fixed dam while isworth, Montgomery Island, and Gallipolis are fixed dams with :ovable crests. The remainder of the 46 dams are of the movable Spe, with navigable pass varying in width from 600 to 1,248 feet. addition to the navigable pass, the movable type dams are also pro- ided 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 modifications in the project as appeared advisable. July 18,1918 Eliminatio: of locks and dams jxg the lower river H. Doc. No.,1695, 64th Cong., 2d sess. where the poject depth. of:9 feet could be satis- factorily maintained by open channel work. Secreatry of War authorized to substitute fixed dams for movable dams wherever, in his opinion, they may be desirable. Under the authority granted in the River and Harbor Act of 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.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--OHIO RIVER LOCKS AND DAMS 1135 2. 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 1127. 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 (Mound City, Ill.), a distance of 974.7 miles. Open-channel improve- ment from the mouth of the Cache River to the mouth of the Ohio River is under the jurisdiction of the Mississippi River Commission. Existing project.-Priorto the completion of the canalization proj- ect, 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 having 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 involved the concen- tration of current by closing back channels at islands 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. 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 he 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, Il. (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 ap- proved estimate of cost for annual maintenance of the project. The estimate of annual cost of operating snag boats below the Pennsyl- vania State line, made in 1936, is $50,000. 1136 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1942 The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1827 The project adopted by this act originally covered the entire length of the Ohio River from its mouth near Cairo to Pittsburgh, a distance of 981 miles. It provided for the removal of all obstructions which tend to endanger steam- boat navigation. Jan. 21, 1927 Construction of ice piers, as a part of the project, H. Doc.

Operation of snag boats on the Ohio River below the Pennsylvania State line was included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions 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 con- sideration. 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. Terminal facilities.-See page 1132. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Dredgingwhere required to provide an adequate and dependable channel of project depth at minimum pool conditions was executed. The dikes and revetments were maintained and the routine work of maintaining navigation aids, making channel studies, and hydrographic surveys was performed as required.

The channel dredging at Firebrick Bar provided an improved lower approach to the locks at dam No. 31 and consisted of removing shoal material within the channel limits. This work provided a channel approximately 4,500 feet long and 600 feet wide. The channel dredging at Ranty Bar widened the navigation chan- nel and improved channel conditions. It provided a channel approxi- mately 3,500 feet long and 500 feet wide. The channel dredging at the upper approach to dam No. 53 pro- vided a channel 3.8 miles long and 750 feet in width along the Illinois shore upstream from lock No. 53. This channel is now in use and 1138 REPORT OF CHIEF OF E.GINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1942 replaces old channel in unsatisfactory location in the center of the river.

The total expenditures, all from regular funds, were $1,467,434.39. 1140 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1942 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 revetment. The total cost of existing project to the end of the fiscal year for new work was $13,728.223.84, of which $12,687,987.85 was from regular funds and $1,040,235.99 from Public Works funds. In addition, the cost of maintenance from regular funds was $20,084,129.58 (including $1,000 for removal of obstructions in Licking River under authority of section 3 of the River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930), making a total of $33,812,353.42. The total expenditures under the existing project were $33,785,265.19, of which $32,745,029.20 was from regular funds and $1,040,235.99 from Public Works funds. In addition, the sum of $1,621,349.38 was expended between Septem- ber 19, 1890, and June 30, 1936, in the operation of snag boats under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

CUMBERLAND RIVER, TENN. AND KY. Location.-Thisriver 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 Sep- tember 19, 1890, adopted a special project for the improvement of the mouth of the river. For further details see page 1901 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1208 of Annual Report for 1938. Above Nashville.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of August 14, 1876, March 3, 1881, and July 5, 1884. For further details see page 1898 of Annual Report of 1915, and page 1208 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project--Below Nashville.-This provides for the con- struction 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 extreme fluctuation in the stage of the river varies from about 32 to 64 feet at different localities. Fluctuations below extreme high water are so variable that it is impracticable to fix the stage com- monly referred to on other streams as ordinary high water. The estimate of cost for new work for the section below Nashville, revised in 1935, was $4,832,448, excluding amounts expended on pre- vious projects and $632,000, chargeable to maintenance work. The estimate of annual cost of operation and maintenance, made in 1909, is $40,000.

Total cost for this section was $5,138,458.10, including $685,000 from public works funds. Of this amount, $5,035,801.52 was for new work and $102,656.58 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 Nos. 9 to 17, in- clusive. For details of these locks and dams see tables under para- graph "Existing project." Projected locks and dams Nos. 16 and 17 will be eliminated and lock and dam No. 21 will be inundated upon completion of Wolf Creek Reservoir now under construction. 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 shallowest part of the reach between the head of pool, lock and dam No. 8, and lock No. 21 (50.8 miles in Ten- nessee and 101.8 miles in Kentucky) is about 0.5 foot. In this sec- tion 3-foot navigation is practically certain from February 1 to May 1, 1148 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1942 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. The total cost for this section was $3,962,756.87, of which $3,760,- 599.12 was for new work and $202,157.75 for maintenance. (c) Operating 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 $1,865,087.43. The total cost under the existing project for the entire stream was $10,966,302.40, of which $8,796,400.64 was for new work, including $685,000 public works funds, $304,814.33 for maintenance, and $1,865,- 087.43 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $10,956,- 415.21. In addition the sum of $3,266,705.82 was expended between July 1, 1905, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation. -Proposedoperations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1942, in- cluding accounts receivable at the end of the year, amounting to $543,217.35, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1942_ _---------------------------------$14, 853. 99 Maintenance (July 1, 1942, to June 30, 1943) : Dredging and snagging where required to maintain navigable channels; operation of derrick boat Tishomingo and attendant plant, approximately 31/2 months, at $20,000 per month____ _ 70, 000.00 Shoals surveys----------------------------___ 4, 000. 00 Channel marking and painting warning stripes and clearance gages ------------------ 2, 500. 00 Total_ ___ 76, 500. 00 Operating and care (July 1, 1942, to June 30, 1943) : Operation of locks___________________________________ -269, 063. 36 Ordinary repairs___________________________ 26, 450. 00 Improvements and reconstruction________ __ _____ 156, 350. 00 Total ___ ---------------- 451, 863.36 Grand total_---------------------------------------- -- 543, 217. 35 The additional sum of $512,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1944 as follows: Maintenance : Dredging and snagging where required to maintain navigable chan- nels; operation of derrick boat Tishomingo and attendant plant, approximately 5 months, at $20,000 per month----------------$100, 000 Shoals surveys------------------------------------- ------- 9, 000 Total 000 1--------------------------- Operating and care: Operation of locks-------------------------------------------269, 000 Ordinary repairs.-------------- 32, 000 Improvements and reconstruction_______----- ___---------- 102, 000 Total-_-- --- -- ____,- -- -- -- 403, 000 Grand total_ _------------ _ -- 512. 000 RIVERS AND HARBORS---NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1149 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1942___ __________________ __ -- $9, 622, 653. 58 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1942__________________________ 5,436, 607. 58 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1942___ _______ 15, 059, 261. 16 Undistributed costs June 30, 1942_______________________________ 4, 796. 79 Net total cost to June 30, 1942____________________------5, 064, 057. 95 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1942__________________.._____ 170. 01 Gross total costs to June 30, 1942_______________________ 15, 064, 227. 96 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1942_______________---_--- 14, 853. 99 Net total expenditures___________________________- 15, 049, 373. 97 Unexpended balance June 30, 1942------------------------------ 543, 047. 34 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1942-------------- 15, 592, 421. 31 Fiscal year ending June 30 1938 1939 1949 1941 1942 Cost of new work -------------- $76,264. 16 $20,838.95 $34, 807.69 - - - --- Cost of maintenance .............345, 382.31 278, 882.; 57 311, 121. 42 $319, 262.08 $307, 185. 33 Total cost- 421, 646. 47 299, 721. 52 345, 929. 11 319, 262.08 307, 185. 33 Total expended _ . 439,780.06 ,28, 995, 48 369, 616. 68 321,906. 32 297, 534.54 Allotted____ ____ ............ . . 618, 080.00 443, 000.00 325, 000.00 332, 000. 0 00 462,750.

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 1150 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1942 - above the Gay Street Bridge at Knoxville, flows southwest into north- ern Alabama, thence in a generally westerly course across north Ala- 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 Chattanoogal.-Adoptedby 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, 1904, and January 7, 1905; and River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1907, June 25, 1910, July 25, 1912, July 27, 1916, and March 3, 1925. (c) Belowo 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 im- provement of the river for a navigable depth of 9 feet at low water from the mouth to Knoxville, Tenn., a distance of about 647.7 miles, to be obtained by the construction 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 moie 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 contribute to the cost of the substituted structures an amount equal to the estimated cost of the works of navigation for which subsitution is made. The estimated cost, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $74,709,000 for new work and $40,000 annual 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1151 locks and utilization of certain locks and dams previously constructed under the jurisdiction of the Engineer Department.

ARMY, 1942 The functions of the Engineer Department since adoption of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act in 1933 have been those of coopera- tion with the Authority through preparing (with Engineer Depart- ment forces and funds) the designs of locks at Pickwick, Guntersville, Chickamauga, Watts Bar, and Fort Loudoun Dams; and, in accord- ance with the general navigation laws placing control and supervision over navigable waters in the Secretary of War, the Engineer Depart- ment: Operates and maintains all locks, lifts, or other facilities in aid of navigation; maintains navigation channels by performing all nec- essary 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 alter- ation or modification of existing channels; establishes harbor lines where essential to the preservation and protection of harbors; pro- vides 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 dumping of dredgings or other material into navigable waters; promulgates rules and regulations governing the use, administration, and navigation of navigable waters, including harbors thereof; compiles statistics of water-borne com- merce. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, re- quires no local cooperation in the construction of the alternate system of low dams. It does, however, provide that in case high dams are built before the United States shall have built the projected locks and low dams which are to be replaced, the United States shall contribute to the cost of the substituted structures an amount equal to the esti- mated 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 sidings are available at Sheffield, Decatur, Hobbs Island, Guntersville, and Bridgeport, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn. Privately owned terminals have been constructed for the transfer of certain commodities as fol- lows: Automobiles and miscellaneous merchandise at Guntersville, Ala.; coal at South Pittsburg, Tenn.; grain at Decatur and Gunters- ville, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn.; petroleum products at Sheffield, Decatur, and Guntersville, Ala., and Perryville and Chattanooga, Tenn. In addition to the foregoing there are many unimproved pri- vate landings along the river. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year-New work (contract).- The contract entered into during last fiscal year for the fabrication and erection of a 25,000-gallon pure-water storage tank at General Joe Wheeler lock, was completed. The contract also entered into during last fiscal year for the construction of two lock tenders' dwell- ings, a double garage, and sewer, water, and underground electric systems at General Joe Wheeler lock, was completed. The work of RIVERS AND HARBORS---NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1155 installing water line in the inspection tunnel, and installing electric conduits from lock tunnel to reservation, and landscaping at this location was performed by hired labor. The cost of new work was $29,991.36. Maintenance (hired labor).-Dredging and broadening channel, Southern Railway bridge (mile 256.5) to lock No. 1 (mile 256.8), by removal of 4,060 cubic yards of boulders, loose rock, gravel, and mud, and removal of strikes, Burdine Bar (mile 331.9) to Whitesburg Bar (mile 334.8) by dredging of 7,575 cubic yards of rock, gravel, boulders, and snags, were completed. Miscellaneous obstructions were removed from the channel in Pickwick Landing, Wilson, General Joe Wheeler, Guntersville, Chickamauga, Watts Bar, and Fort Loudoun pools and in the section below Pickwick Landing Dam. Shoals surveys were made where required; warning stripes and clearance gages were painted. The cost of maintenance during the year was $91,754.01. Operating and care.-All locks were operated and lock structures and appurtenances were maintained. At Pickwick Landing lock, alterations were made to valve bulkheads, valves were cleaned and painted, seals were tightened and adjusted, and floodlights to illumi- nate the lock pits were installed; installation of towing equipment was commenced at Wilson lock and minor repairs were made to lower valves, and concrete under upper and middle valve seats was replaced; gate anchors were reinforced and emergency repairs were made to upper lock gate at General Joe Wheeler lock; alterations to valve bulkheads at Guntersville lock were completed; at Hales Bar lock broken pinions, gudgeon pins, and bushings in the lock gates were replaced; alterations to valve bulkheads at Chickamauga lock were completed. Guard fences were erected at Pickwick Landing, lock No. 1, Wilson, General Joe Wheeler, Guntersville, and Hales Bar locks. The cost of operating and care was $245,777.94. The total costs during the year were $367,523.31, of which $29,991.36 was for new work, $91,754.01 for maintenance, and $245,777.94 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $352,420.67. Condition at end of fiscal year. "There were eight locks and dams completed and two under construction, the accomplishment of which will complete the project from the mouth to Knoxville, Tenn. The table under the paragraph "Existing project" shows the year of com- pletion of locks now in operation, together with pertinent data con- cerning those under construction. The locks and dams completed provide a navigable depth of 6 feet between the mouth and Loudon, Tenn. (591.5 miles). The minimum available depth above London, Tenn., 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 Loundon 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: Lock and dam No. 1, since March 1, 1926; Wilson, since June 1927; General Joe Wheeler, since November 27, 1934; Hales Bar, since November 1, 1913. Subsequent to June 30, ]935, operation and maintenance have byen carried on with funds appropriated for the preservation and main'e- nance of rivers and harbors, as follows: Pickwick Landing lock. since 1156 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1942 September 1, 1937; Guntersville lock, since September 1, 1937; Chicka- mauga lock, since October 15, 1937; Watts Bar lock since March 3, 1941; and Kentucky lock, since February 10, 1942. The total cost of the work since the project was modified in 1930 has been $5,949,230.92, of which $2,244,235.57 was for new work, $2,- 444,792.57 for maintenance, and $1,260,202.78 for operating and care.

Location.-This project is located at Middlesboro, Ky., on Yellow Creek, a tributary entering the Cumberland River about 660 miles above its mouth. 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 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 1160 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1942 material, of which about 410,000 cubic yards were utilized in the levee system. Besides construction of the diversion channel, there was other incidental work, which included the installation of culverts and the relocation and rebuilding of roadways and bridges. The construction of this project will divert from the business district and from a large part of the residential section the flood waters which originate in that part of the basin lying north and west of the city, thus affording pro- tection, 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-New ork (hired la- bor).-Flowage easements affecting 21 parcels were acquired by the city of Middlesboro and transferred to the United States. Fee simple titles were obtained in trade for three additional tracts. The cost was $11,569.36. Maintenance (hired labor).-Levees, canals, and appurtenances were maintained. The cost of maintenance was $435.54. The total expenditures were $12,108.37, all from regular funds. Condition at the end of the fiscal year.-All construction work has been completed and all rights-of-way and easements have been ac- quired with the exception of 11 parcels which have been acquired by the city of Middlesboro and are in process of being transferred to the United States, and 4 parcels for which condemnation proceedings have been instituted in the Federal court. The total costs to June 30, 1942, were $802,784.05, of which $802,226.61, including $38,876.31 emergency relief funds, were for new work, and $557.44 for main- tenance. The total expenditures were $802,678.65, of which $802,282.08, including $38,876.31 from emergency relief funds, were for new work, and $396.57 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1942, amounting to $17,737.66, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 19421_ $105. 40 New work: Acquisition of rights-of-way and flowage easements__ ___ 9, 028. 83 Maintenance: Maintenance of levees, canal, and appurtenant works__ 8, 603. 43 Total -------------------------------------------------- 17, 737. 66 The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1944 for maintenance.

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 the development of power. It will have a maximum height of 240 feet and an approximate length of 5,736 feet, of which 1,796 feet is concrete section and 3,940 feet is earth embankment. From the left abutment, a short concrete non- overflow section will extend to a concrete gravity spillway section located in the present stream channel. The spillway will be pro- vided with 6 sluices for the control of floods and will be surmounted with 10 tainter crest gates. Adjoining the spillway, there will be a concrete powerhouse intake structure through which 6 penstocks will be constructed. A nonoverflow concrete gravity retaining sec- tion will provide a transition between that section and the earth em- bankment which extends across the valley to the right abutment. At the top of the gates, the pool will have an area of 56,830 acres with a total storage 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 at all times. The drainage area controlled will be 5,810 square miles or approximately one-third of the Cumberland River Basin. The initial power installation will be about 135,000 1162 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1942 kilowatts, and the ultimate installation will be 270,000 kilowatts. The project was selected for construction under the general authoriza- tion for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of the project, including the initial 3-unit power installation, revised in 1942, is $52,000,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work (contract).- Contracts were entered into for construction of dam and appurtenant works, for construction of right and left bank access roads, and for furnishing cement, aerial mapping of reservoir, portion of cemetery relocation, power plant design, design and furnishing slide gates, design and furnishing gate and hoisting equipment, and design and furnishing turbines and governors. Work on aerial mapping of reservoir and that portion of cemetery relocation under contract was completed. Major items of work accomplished were: (a) On dam and appurtenant works, excavation 769,000 cubic yards, and fill 484,- 300 cubic yards; (b) on left bank access road, clearing and grubbing 50 acres, excavation 500,000 cubic yards, water-bound macadam base 112,000 square yards, and bituminous mat surface 43,400 square yards; and (c) on right bank access road, clearing and grubbing 45 acres, excavation 85,000 cubic yards, and 2,005 linear feet of reinforced con- crete pipe drains. Work covered by the other contractswas com- menced. New woork (hired labor).-Survey of reservoir by hired labor was brought to approximately 5 percent completion, 3,023 acres having been surveyed. About 70 acres of land were acquired. Total costs, all for new work, were $1,299,059.20, including $188,- 466.12 for hired labor. The total expenditures were $1,211,947.06. Condition at end of fscal year.--'The contract covering the con- struction of the dam and appurtenant works was approximately 3 percent complete; construction of left bank access road was prac- tically completed; and construction of right bank access road was 27 percent complete. Aerial mapping of reservoir was completed and approximately 10 percent of necessary cemetery relocation was com- pleted. The status of work under other contracts was as follows: Furnishing cement, none; power plant design, 60 percent complete; design and furnishing slide gates, 23 percent complete; gate and hoist- ing equipment, design and preliminary work commenced; and tur- bines and governors, design and preliminary work commenced.

Emisting 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: ( ) 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, extending downstream to the Market Street Bridge, and thence running south- westerly to high ground at Stringers Ridge; (2) Citico Creek sec- tion, a levee 17,300 feet in length beginning 3,000 feet northeast of Boyce Station, extending northwest by short sections of levee between 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 flood wall 2,400 feet in length beginning at the rock bluff just upstream from RIVERS AND IHARBORS--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1171 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 flood wall, the levee beginning at Cameron Hill and extending westerly to the top of the river bank where it turns and runs downstream to the head of Ross Towhead, at which point the works change to a concrete flood wall, continuing southerly along the river bank to the mouth of the Chatta- nooga 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 structures, 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 (HI. Doc. 479, 76th Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost of new work, made in 1939, is $13,500,000 for con- struction and $3,263,000 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. Local interests have given informal assurances that the requirements of local coopera- tion will be complied with. Operations,and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Preliminaryinvestigations were completed. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $130,000, made during Au- gust 1942, will be applied toward the preparation of detailed plans and specifications. The additional sum of $200,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1944 for the preparation of detailed plans and speci- fications.

GREEN, BARREN, AND NOLIN RIVERS, AND BEAR CREEK, KY. Location.-GreenRiver rises in Casey County, Ky., flows in a north- westerly 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1175 Bear Creek rises in Grayson County, Ky., flows in a southerly direc- tion 40 miles, and empties into Green River 0.3 mile above new lock No. 5 and 168.4 miles above the mouth of Green River. Nolin River rises in Larue County, Ky., flows in a southwesterly direction about 105 miles, and empties into the Green River 1.8 miles above lock No. 6 and 183.5 miles above the mouth of Green River. Existing project.-This provides for the purchase of improvement4 made prior to 1884 by the State of Kentucky, consisting of locks an& 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 t' ii !!i!i L ,i:: i: aj! :i ::: 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 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.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1177 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 eight terminals on Green River, five of which are for petroleum products, two for handling coal, and one for rock asphalt. On the Barren River there are two terminals, both of which are located at Bowling Green, Ky. They consist of one for the transfer of asphalt from barge to railroad and one for petroleum products. There is also one privately owned paved wharf at Bowling Green. Terminals on Nolin River consist of one conveyor for loading asphalt and one land derrick for unloading coal. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work during the fiscal year consisted of the operation and care of the seven locks and dams on the Green and Barren Rivers at a cost of $71,804.07, and the main- tenance of the channels in the pools of the dams at a cost of $29,230.06, a total of $101,034.13. The expenditures were $93,101.87. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The canalization system on Green and Barren Rivers is in only fair condition, except lock No. 1, Barren River, and lock and dam No. 5, Green River, which are in excellent condition. The controlling navigable depth in the sections covered by the existing project was 5.5 feet at the end of the fiscal year. New work remaining to be done consists of removing overhanging rock ledges at Whistle Mountain on Nolin River, provided for by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, and the improvement of Bear Creek, provided for by the River and Harbor Act. of July 3, 1930.

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

The original estimate for building the proposed lock and dam and removing obstructions from the river amounted to $56,729.80 (Annual Report for 1885, p. 1901). The project and estimate were subse- quently modified (Annual Reports for 1891, p. 2447, and 1896, p. 2280), changing the dimensions of the structures and substituting a concrete lock and abutment for the masonry lock and timber abutment origi- nally proposed.

ARMY, 1942 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 operation and maintenance of the lock and dam. The total cost during the fiscal year was $1,995.16 for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,981.35. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1899. At the end of the year the lock and dam were in fair con- dition 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 $19,416.11 for operating and care, a total of $124,916.11. The expenditures were $124,854.80. In addition, the sum of $55,298.39 was expended between 1898 and June 30, 1936, on the operating and care of the works of improve- ment, under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

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. RIVERS AND HARB:O'RS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1183 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 C. & E. I. R. R. bridge to Clinton, Ind. The project will provide protection for approximately 3,500 acres of agricultural land against cropping season floods. Floods of sufficient 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 1942, is $204,400 for con- struction and $19,500 for lands and damages. The latest published 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 procuring and testing samples of material in completed levee, and observation of shrinkage conditions and cracks in the levee. The costs during the fiscal year were $1,284.21 from regular funds for new work. The expenditures were $1,283.37. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was substantially com- plete at the end of the fiscal year 1941, and remained essentially unchanged at the end of fiscal year 1942. The levee is still under ob- servation to determine whether or not additional repairs to cracks may be required. The work remaining to be done consists of the completion of repairs to the levee and clean-up operations, if such are found necessary; the performance of additional after-completion studies in connection therewith; and the preparation of regulations governing the main- tenance and operation of the completed project by local interests. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $201,718.01 from regular funds for new work. The expenditures were $201,717.17. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1942, amounting to $2,674.26, will be applied to new work, clean-up opera- tions and after-completion studies, hired labor July 1, 1942 to June 30, 1943. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1944, as the project will be completed with available funds.

Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for raising and enlarging the existing earth levee extending from high ground on the right bank of Busseron Creek, 2.2 miles east of the Wabash River, thence along that bank to the confluence of Busseron Creek and the Wabash River, thence upstream along the left bank of the Wabash River to the Illinois Central Railroad bridge at Riverton, a distance of 50,126 feet; and a riverside enlargement along the up- stream side of the Illinois Central Railroad embankment from the bridge at Riverton to high ground at Merom station, a distance of 9,790 feet. Two pumping plants for the disposal of interior drainage, and appurtenant drainage structures are included in the plan of improvement. The project will provide protection for approximately 12,000 acres of overflow land, the village of Riverton, and the waterworks for the town of Sullivan, Ind. One foot freeboard above a flood equal to the maximum flood of record, which occurred in 1913, will be provided. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1942, is $411,200.25 for construction and $18,000 for lands and damages.

LAKE RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river, located in Clark County, Wash., is the out- let of Vancouver Lake, located about 2 miles northwest of Vancouver, Wash. The stream flows in a northerly direction for about 11 miles and empties into the Columbia River about 88 miles above the mouth. (See map of Columbia National Forest, U. S. Forest Service, 1935,, and U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6154.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 6 feet deep at low water and 100 feet wide from the mouth of the river to Ridgefield (3 miles). The mean tidal range between mean lower low and mean higher high waters at the mouth of the river is 3 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1930, was $3,000. The latest (1932) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is- $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, in accordance with House Committee Document No. 2, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session, as modified by the report of the War Department dated May 10, 1930, pursuant to the Commerce Committee resolution of February 22, 1930. Terminal facilities.-There are four timber wharves on Lake River. These are at Ridgfield, 21/2 miles above the mouth of the river. Two of these wharves are.open to the public and two are privately owned. The principal traffic is floated logs, which are placed in the river from a log dump connected with the railway at Felida. The facili- ties are 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 1931. The controlling depth from the mouth of the river to Ridgefield is 6 feet at low water in a channel 100 feet wide. The RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1743 total costs and expenditures have been $6,700, of which $2,700 was for new work and $4,000 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1943. The sum of $4,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1944 for maintenance dredging between Ridgefield and the mouth of the river, by contract, August and September 1943.

Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1899, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 2001, An- nual Report for 1915, and page 1762, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a low-water channel 6 feet deep and 50 feet wide to the mouth of the East Fork (33/4 miles); 4 feet deep and 50 feet wide on the East Fork from its mouth to La Center (3 miles) ; 4 feet deep and 50 feet wide on Lewis River (North Fork) from the East Fork to Woodland (31/2 miles), to be secured by dredging and' by the construction of regulating works and for clearing the channel to Ariel (16 miles above Woodland). The maxi- mum variation of water level due to tides ranges from about 3 feet at the mouth to 1 /2 feet at La Center and 0.0 at Woodland. During ordinary freshets a stage of 14 feet and, at extreme floods, a stage of about 24 feet is reached in the main river at Woodland, Wash. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1913 was $61,500, ex- clusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Dec. No. 28, 62d Cong., 1st sess.). For latest published map see page 3557 of Annual Report for 1904. 1744 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1942 Recommended modifications of project.-The Chief of Engineers has recommended that the project be modified by eliminating all work on the East Fork and on the North Fork above Woodland (H. Doc. No. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-At La Center, on the East Fork and at Wood- land, on the North Fork, respectively, the terminals, pile, and timber structures, are publicly owned and are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was com- pleted in 1927. The channel is in poor condition. The controlling depth is 2 feet to Woodland and 1 foot to La Center. The total cost and expenditures were $103,215.76, of which $35,880.44 was for new work and $67,335.32 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1943. The additional sum of $6,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1944 for maintenance, dredging, and snagging, by Govern- ment plant and hired labor, September 1943.

COWLITZ RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range in Washington, flows westerly and southerly about 120 miles, and empties into the Columbia River about 69 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6153.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details see page 2000 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1763 of Annual Report fpr 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 4 feet deep at low water and 50 feet wide from the mouth to Ostrander (9 miles), thence 21/2 feet deep and 50 feet wide to Castle Rock (10 miles), and thence 21/2 feet deep at low water and not less than 40 feet wide to Toledo (18 miles), to be secured by snagging, dredging, and regu- lating works. The water level, due to tides, varies from 4 feet at the mouth to zero at Ostrander. During ordinary freshets a stage of RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1745 20 feet, and at extreme floods a stage of 25 feet, is reached in the river at Kelso, Wash. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1912, was $39,100, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910 (H. Doc. No. 1167, 60th Cong., 2d sess., from the mouth to Castle Rock, and H. Doc. No. 404, '61st Cong., 2d sess., from Castle Rock to Toledo). For the latest published map see House Document No. 1167, Sixtieth Congress, second session. Recommended modifications of project.--The Chief of Engineers has recommended that the project be modified by the elimination of all work above Castle Rock (H. Doc. No. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-Above Kelso the terminal facilities are lim- ited to two log dumps. At Kelso there are a number of small private wharves and one public landing. Between Kelso and the mouth there are two private commercial wharves. These facilities are con- sidered adequate for present commerce. . Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Costs were $52.34 and expenditures were $60.54 for maintenance surveys. Coanditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1913. Project dimensions prevail except for a controlling depth of 1 foot in the reach from Castle Rock to Toledo. Total costs for the existing project have been $235,372.76, of which $32,907.62 was for new work and $202,465.14 for maintenance. Ex- penditures have been $235,372.76.

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 and the extreme tidal range about 13 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1938, was $25,000. The latest (1938) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 50, 75th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in this document. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal is the wharf of the Chinook Packing Co., a portion of which is used as a public landing. There is no present need for additional terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year. None. Expenditures were $7,989.92 for outstanding liabilities at the close of the preceding fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was com- pleted in 1940. Repairs to the breakwater were completed in 1939,, and channel dredging in 1940. At the end of the fiscal year the break- water is in good condition and controlling depth of 61/2 feet prevails in project channel width of 150 feet. Total costs and expenditures of the existing project have been $50,500, of which $40,000 was for new work, and $10,500 for main- tenance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1942,. amounting to $7,000, will be applied to maintenance dredging by Gov- ernment plant, August 1942. The additional sum of $8,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1944 for maintenance dredging by Government plant and hired labor, June 1944.

Location.-Near Walla Walla, Wash., on Mill Creek, a tributary of the Walla Walla River. Existingrproject.--The plan of improvement provides for construc- tion of flood-control works consisting of a storage dam, outlet works, diversion works, division structures, and improvement of a stretch of Mill Creek Channel, including the reconstruction of the Otis and Mer- riam Street Bridges across Mill Creek in the city of Walla Walla, Wash. The storage dam, which will form a reservoir of 6,000 acre-feet capac- ity, is a rolled earth fill structure 145 feet high, 3,200 feet long at the crest, and 800 feet wide at the base. Flood water is diverted for storage by means of diversion works on Mill Creek consisting of a rolled earth fill dam 1,700 feet long and 20 feet high, with a concrete spillway section and headworks at the left abutment, and a concrete- lined canal leading from the headworks to the storage reservoir. Stored water is subsequently released through outlet works consisting of a steel-lined concrete conduit through the base of the storage dam and a canal 5,900 feet in length from the dam to Mill Creek. The normal flow of water past the diversion works is apportioned, by means of two concrete division structures, to the three delta streams, Yellow- hawk, Garrison, and Mill Creeks. The project will control the entire Mill Creek drainage area of 85 square miles and care for a flood of 11,400 second-feet. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The Flood Control Act ap- proved August 18, 1941, modified the project in accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers in House Document No. 719, Seventy-sixth Congress, third session. The estimated cost, revised in 1941, is $1,528,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938; applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Construction of the dam and appurtenant work began in June 1940 and was continued and completed on January 6, 1942. Operations after January 6 consisted of normal maintenance and operation of the project. Total costs for the fiscal year were $474,308.02. Expenditures were $517,161.07. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionof the dam and ap- purtenances war ' 100 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1757 The costs for new work have been $1,340,758.97 and maintenance $5,871.69, all regular funds. Expenditures have been $1,344,445.04.
