Open-channel work, Ohio River -------------------------------- 1057 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. 1050 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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, and dam 41, and 110 by 360 feet at Gallipolis. Dashields is a fixed dam while Emsworth, Montgomery Island, and Gallipolis are fixed dams with movable crests. The remainder of the 46 dams are of the movable 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 modifications 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. 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 Galliopolis locks and dam which was authorized by the act of August 30, 1935, and constructed under the project for improving lower Kanawha River. Table A contains data relative to the various features of the locks and dams included in the existing project.

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 1049. 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 im- provement from the mouth of the Cache River tq the mouth of the Ohio River is under the jurisdiction of the Mississippi River Commission. 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 having a minimum depth of from 4 to 6 feet, and a width, depend- ing upon the difficulty of running the channel, of from 400 to 600 feet; also, to permit the movement of large coal tows, which move- ment 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 pur- pose involved the concentration 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 contemplated by the canalization project. In order to properly facilitate the movement of the present day barge tows, it has been found necessary to provide channel widths, varying according to the difficulty of running the channel, of from 500 to 750 feet. The ac- complishment 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 the open river section below look and dam No. 53. 1058 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 19331 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 of annual maintenance of the project. 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. No. 187, 67th Cong., 2d sess. with funds allotted from the appropriations for general open-channel work. July 3,1930 Reforestation of the sloughs on Kentucky Penin- H. Doc. No. 409, 69th Cong., 1st sess. sula near Evansville, Ind., and a 200-foot strip along the upstream bank and for bank protec- tion at an estimated cost of $200,000. 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 cooperation is not needed since no additional construction is under consideration. The River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930, authorizing the reforestation of the sloughs on Kentucky Peninsula near Evansville, Ind., and a 200-foot strip along the upstream bank and for bank protection, provides that no expense shall be incurred by the United States for 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 1054. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Dredging where re- quired 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS----OHIO RIVER LOCKS AND DAMS 1059 navigation aids, making channel studies, and hydrographic surveys was performed as required.

The total expendi- tures, all from regular funds, were $1,042,112.84. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The work under this project is about 87 percent completed. Such work as remains to be done con- sists 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 conditions. In general, this channel was maintained. Local stabili- zation 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 $13,771,271.72 of which $12,731,035.73 was from regular funds and $1,040,235.99 from Public Works funds. The cost of maintenance from regular funds was $21,108,141.41 (including $1,000 for removal of obstructions in Licking River under authority of sec. 3 of the River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930), making a total of $34,879,413.13. The total expenditures under the existing project were $34,827,378.03, of which $33,787,142.04 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.

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 south- westward into Tennessee, passes Nashville, and returns northwest- ward to Kentucky, emptying into the Ohio near Smithland, Ky. See United States Geological Survey base maps of Tennessee and Kentucky. Previous projects-Belowo 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 im- provement 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 for 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 con- structed under the project for the section of the river above Nash- ville. 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 42 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, including $25,000 for raising dam No. 1 in accordance with the River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930. The actual cost of locks and dams Nos. 1 to 8 and 21 (already completed), and the estimated cost each of locks and dams Nos. 9 to 17 are 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.

I Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act. Local cooperation.-BelowNashville: None required. Above Nash- ville: 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 ele- vator 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, Ashland City, Nashville, and Carthage, Tenn. There are also pri- vately owned terminals located at Barrett rock quarries, Kentucky, used for the transfer of riprap rock; near Vicksburg, Pinckneyville, and Dycusburg, 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- new work and maintenance.-No new work was accomplished in this section of the river. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of removing 4,251 snags from the channel; dredging 11,855 cubic yards of sand, gravel, and rock at Kuttawa Bar (mile 40.75) ; removing from the pools 6,687 cubic yards of mud and gravel, 3,859 tons of miscellaneous obstructions, and 7 cubic yards of rock; painting lock entrance warning stripes and bridge clearance gages; and maintaining navigation aids in cooperation with the United States Coast Guard. The cost of maintenance was $25,522.31. 1068 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 (b) Above Nashville---new work and maintenance.-No new work was accomplished in this section of the river. Maintenance by Gov- ernment plant and hired labor consisted of removing 455 snags from the channel, and 4,113 cubic yards of mud and gravel from the pools; and maintaining navigation aids in cooperation with the United States Coast Guard. The cost of maintenance was $7,874.70. (c) Operating and care of locks and dams.-The 15 locks were operated and the lock structures and appurtenances were cared for. Haulage units, operated by compressed air, were installed at locks A and E; automatic gate holding devices were installed at lock E; the lock chamber at lock F was unwatered and major repairs which con- sisted of installing new miter sills, repairing valves, miter posts, quoin posts, and gates, stopping leaks in the bottom of the lock chamber, and painting the entire gates were made; the interior of lockmasters' dwellings at locks Nos. 3, 4, and 8 were painted; the interior of assistant lockmaster's dwellings at locks Nos. 3 and 4 were painted; and a 5,000-gallon elevated steel water storage tank was erected at lock No. 5 to provide water for sanitation and fire-protection purposes. A total of 170,037 cubic yards of material was dredged from lock chambers and approaches at locks B, D, and Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8. The cost of operating and care was $331,759.31. The total costs during the fiscal year were $365,156.32, of which $33,397.01 was for maintenance and $331,759.31 for operating and care. The expenditures were $358,399.23. 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. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1943, were $5,163,980.41, including $685,000 from Public Works funds. Of this amount, $5,035,- 801.52 was for new work and $128,178.89 for maintenance. (b) Above Nashlille.-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, inclusive. 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 the Wolf Creek dam and reservoir project, construction of which is now suspended due to the existing war emergency. 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 uncanalized 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1069 for vessels drawing over 4 feet is uncertain at all times. When the Celina gage reads 1 foot, 16-inch navigation is practicable, and for each additional foot of reading on this gage the navigable depth is increased 0.8 foot. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1943, were $3,970,631.57, of which $3,760,599.12 was for new work and $210,032.45 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 $2,196,846.74. . The total costs under the existing project for the entire stream were $11,331,458.72, of which $8,796,400.64 was for new work, including $685,000 Public Works funds, $338,211.34 for maintenance, and $2,196,846.74 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $11,314,814.44. 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.

No. 328, 71st Cong., 2d sess.), authorized the permanent improve- ment 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 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 contribute to the cost of the substituted structures an amount equal to the estimated cost of the works of navigation for which substitution is made. The estimated cost, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $74,709,000 for new work and $40,000 annually for the main- tenance and operation of each lock and dam. The latest published 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 1073 The functions of the Engineer Department since adoption of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act in 1933 have been those of co- operation with the Authority through preparing (with Engineer Department forces and funds) the designs of locks at Pickwick, Guntersville, 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 Engineer Department: Operates and maintains all locks, lifts, or other facilities in aid of navigation; maintains navigation channels by performing all necessary dredging and snagging operations; examines and passes upon plans for all bridges, wharves, or other structures in navigable waters prior to construction, including con- struction plans involving the alteration or modification of existing channels; establishes harbor lines where essential to the preservation and protection of harbors; provides for removal of unlawful struc- tures, including wrecks; cooperates and reviews plans of individuals, corporations-municipal or private-in the improvement of navi- gable waters at their own expense and risk; issues rules and regula- tions 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-borhe commerce. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, requires 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 estimated cost of the works of navigation for which substitution is made. Terminal facilities.-River terminals with railroad connections, municipally owned, have been constructed at Sheffield, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn., but the other public terminals are mostly unim- proved landings. At Danville, Tenn., there is a privately owned concrete warehouse and gasoline elevator with railroad incline and siding. AtJohnsonville, Tenn., there is a privately owned frame ware- house and steam elevator with railroad siding. Railroad inclines and sidings are available at Sheffield, Decatur, Hobbs Island, Gun- tersville, and Bridgeport, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn. Privately owned terminals have been constructed for the transfer of certain commodities as follows: Automobiles and miscellaneous merchandise at Guntersville, Ala.; coal at South Pittsburg, Tenn.; grain at Decatur and Guntersville, 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 private landings along the river. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year--new work and mainte- nance.-No new work was accomplished. Maintenance by Govern- ment plant and hired labor consisted of removing miscellaneous obstructions from the navigable channel in Fort Loudoun, Watts Bar, 1074 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 General Joe Wheeler, and Kentucky pools; painting lock warning stripes and bridge clearance markers; and making shoal surveys where required. The cost of maintenance was $26,861.40. Operating and care of locks and dams.-All locks were operated and lock appurtenances and stand-by plant were maintained; lock gate anchors were reinforced at General Joe Wheeler, Guntersville, and Chickamauga locks; installation of guard fences and gates was completed at Pickwick Landing, No. 1, Wilson, and Hales Bar locks; at Hales Bar lock, spars and racks for the lower gates and gudgeon pins and bushings for the upper and lower gates were re- newed, and repair of operating machinery for both upper and lower gates was commenced; one side seal for the upper river wall valve was replaced at Guntersville lock; the top seal of the upper river wall lock valve was replaced at General Joe Wheeler lock; at Wilson lock the lower lock chamber was unwatered and investigations and studies were made for reinforcing the lower river gate abutment; and the floors, framing and siding of the lock houses were repaired at lock No. 1. The cost of operating and care was $345,173.34. The costs during the year were $372,034.74, of which $26,861.40 was for maintenance and $345,173.34 for operating and care. The expenditures were $358,577.63. 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 moiith 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 Loudoun, Tenn. (591.5 miles). The minimum available depth above Loudoun, 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 Loudoun reads 3.4 feet, 2-foot navigation is practicable, and for each additional foot of reading on this gage, one 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, 1935, operation and maintenance of lock and dam No. 1, Wilson, General Joe Wheeler, and Hales Bar locks have been carried on with funds appropriated for the preservation and maintenance of rivers and harbors, in addition to the following: Pickwick Landing lock, since September 1, 1937; Guntersville lock, since September 1, 1937; Chickamauga lock, since October 15, 1937; Watts Bar lock since March 3, 1941; and Kentucky lock, since February 10, 1942. The total costs of the work since the project was modified in 1930 were $6,321,265.66, of which $2,244,235.57 was for new work, $2,- 471,653.97 for maintenance, and $1,605,376.12 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $5,712,479.51. RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1075 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 improve- ment under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation.

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 ap- proximately 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 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 resi- dential section the flood waters 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.

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- RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1081 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 kilowatts, and the ultimate installation will be 270,000 kilowatts. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act ap- proved 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 fscal year-New work (contract).- Owing to the need for labor and materials in the war effort, and in accordance with existing Federal policies on wartime construction, a stop order was issued to the contractor on December 28, 1942, con- fining work to the completion of the cut-off trench under the earth embankment. This work consisted of excavation of the trench, drill- ing and grouting, placing approximately 288,000 cubic yards of im- pervious back-fill, and placing the embankment to suitable grade to provide adequate protective drainage for the impervious fill during the shut-down period. The percentage of completion of the major items of work were: left bank access road, 100 percent; right bank access road, 82 percent; preliminary work on dam, 77 percent; excava- tion, 36 percent; and embankment, 18 percent. All other items of construction and supplying of materials and equipment were sus- pended in accordance with existing Federal policies on wartime construction. New work (hired labor).-Survey of reservoir by hired labor was completed, 731 square miles having been mapped. Approximately 1,500 acres of land were acquired. The costs were $2,510,222.29, including $366,494.91 for hired labor. The expenditures were $2,404,915.95. Condition at end of fscal year.-The contract for construction of the dam and appurtenant works was 7.6 percent complete.

It is in De Kalb County, Tenn., and is about 55 miles east of Nashville, Tenn., 30 miles north of McMinn- ville, Tenn., 20 miles west of Cookeville, Tenn., and 14 miles southeast of Carthage, Tenn. The Center Hill Reservoir will extend about 64 miles up the main stream and about 10 miles up Falling Water River, and will lie within De Kalb, Putnam, White, and Warren Counties, Tenn. Existing prroject.-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 246 feet and a length of 2,172 feet, of which 1,382 feet are concrete gravity, and 790 feet are rolled earth embankment. The earth embankment will extend from the left abut- ment to a 400-foot concrete nonoverflow section. Adjoining the non- overflow section there will be a 267-foot concrete powerhouse intake structure through which three penstocks will be constructed. A con- crete gravity spillway section, located partly in the present stream channel, will extend 470 feet from the powerhouse intake. The spill- way section will be provided with six sluices for the control of floods and will be surmounted with eight tainter crest gates. A 245-foot nonoverflow concrete gravity retaining section will provide a transi- tion between the spillway section and the right abutment. In addi- tion to the main dam a rolled earth dam 800 feet in length will close a saddle on the right bank near the main structure. At the top of the gates, the pool will have an area of 23,590 acres with a total storage of 2,148,000 acre-feet of which 770,000 will be allocated to flood con- trol and 492,000 to power. A minimum pool of 886,000 acre-feet will be available at all times for recreational purposes and as a wildlife refuge. The drainage area controlled will be 2,195 square miles.

CHIATTANOOGA, 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. 1090 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- structio 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, 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 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 drain- age 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 (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 6 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.-Location surveys, geo- logic investigations, hydrologic studies, and design work were com- menced in connection with the preparation of detailed plans. The costs, all for new work, were $20,339.32. The expenditures were $16,255.15. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Location surveys, geologic investi- gations, hydrologic studies, and design work were under way. RIVERS AND HARBORS NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1091 Total costs to June 30, 1943, all for new work, were $20,339.32. The total expenditures were $16,255.15.

GREEN, BARREN, AND NOLIN RIVERS, AND BEAR CREEK, KY. Location.-Green River rises in Casey County, Ky., flows in a northwesterly direction 370 miles, and empties into the Ohio River about 8 miles above Evansville, Ind. RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1095 Barren River rises in Monroe County, Ky., flows in a northwest- erly direction 130 miles, and empties into Green River one-half mile above lock No. 4 and 149.5 miles above the mouth of Green River. Bear Creek rises in Grayson County, Ky., flows in a southerly direction 40 miles, and empties into Green River 0.3 mile above new lock No. 5 and 168.4 miles above the mouth of Green River. Nolin River rises in Larue County, Ky., flows in a southwesterly direction about 105 miles, and empties into the Green River 1.8 miles above lock No. 6 and 183.5 miles above the mouth of Green River. Existing project.-This provides for the purchase of improve- ments made prior to 1884 by the State of Kentucky, consisting of locks and dams Nos. 1 to 4, Green River, and No. 1, Barren River, which gave a continuous 4-foot depth for navigation from Bowling Green, on the Barren River, to the mouth of Green River; the re- construction of lock No. 2, Green River; the upstream extension of slack-water navigation on Green River to Mammoth Cave, Ky., by the construction of locks and dams Nos. 5 and 6 and by the removal of snags and slides; the construction of new locks at dam No. 1, Barren River, and at dam No. 5, Green River; the raising of the crest of dam No. 5, Green River, 2 feet, by means of a movable A-frame top; the improvement of Nolin River by the removal of obstructive bars, boulders, overhanging rocks, and snags; and the improvement of Bear Creek by removing snags and widening the bends. The project for Green River extends from the mouth to Mammoth Cave, Ky., a distance of 197.8 miles; for Barren River from the mouth to Bowling Green, Ky., a distance of 30.1 miles; for Nolin River from the mouth to Meredith Ferry, a distance of 73/4 miles; and for Bear Creek, Ky., for a distance of 8 miles above its mouth. The navigable depth in the improved portions is limited to 5 feet by the elevations of the existing lock miter sills. Fluctuations in stage vary considerably at the differerit 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 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 $96,529.65, and the main- tenance of the channels in the pools of the dams at a cost of $25,757.77, a total of $122,287.42. The expenditures were $128,996.86. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The canalization system on Green and Barren Rivers is in only fair condition, except lock No. 1, Barren 1098 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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.

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, Hartford, Whitesville.) Existing project.-This provides for clearing the river of obstruc- tions and for the construction of a lock and dam to carry slack water to Hartford, Ky. The new work provided for having been com- pleted, the project now contemplates the maintenance of the lock and dam and keeping the river channel free from snags and other obstructions to navigation. At the lock the ordinary fluctuations due to floods vary from 6 to 10 feet above pool level. During the flood of 1937 a stage of about 26 feet above pool stage was reached. 1100 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 The location and principal dimensions, etc., of the lock are as follows: Name: Lock No. 1, Rough River.

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 $1,518.38 for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,514.69. 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 condi- tion and a slack-water channel was available from the mouth to Hart- ford, Ky.,4 for boats not exceeding a 4-foot draft. RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1101 The costs to the end of the fiscal year were $105,500 for new work and $20,934.49 for operating and care, a total of $126,434.49. The expenditures were $126,369.49. 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 improvement, under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

LYFORD LEVEE UNIT, WABASH RIVER, IND. 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. 1104 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for raising afid enlarging approximately 5.2 miles of existing earth levee and constructing 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 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 approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1943, is $273,400 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.-Fullycomplied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations during the fiscal year consisted of periodic inspections of the work in place, and the initiation of surveys, plans and specifications for the repair of damage to the levee caused by the May 1943 flood. The costs during the fiscal year were $29.82 from regular funds for new work. The expenditures were $29.89. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was substantially complete and has been under observation to determine if additional repairs to cracks would be necessary. The levee was breached and severely damaged by the Wabash River flood of May 1943 and had not been repaired to provide essential protection at the end of fiscal year 1943. The work remaining to be done consists of the completion of re- pairs to the levee, the performance of clean-up operations, after completion studies, and additional preparation of regulations govern- ing the maintenance and operation of the completed project by local interests, and the formal assignment of the project to local interests for maintenance.

Sec- tion 2 of the Cache River diversion also includes the construction of 2,450 feet of new earth levee extending downstream along the Ohio River from the lower end of the Ohio River section, across the old bed of the Cache River to the northeast corner of the Cairo drainage dis- trict levee. Two pumping plants for the disposal of interior drainage and other appurtenant structures are included in the project. The project will provide protection for Mounds and Mound City, Ill., and about 8,600 acres of agricultural land and will afford a free- board of 3 feet above a flood equal to the maximum flood of record, which occurred in 1937. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1941, is $1,861,000 for construction and $332,300 for lands and damages, of which $323,000 will be borne by the United States. Local cooperation.-Provisions of section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, apply to the diversion of the Cache River; whereas the provisions of section 3 of the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, apply to levees and flood walls. Rights-of- way for the levee and flood wall were approved July 25, 1940. Operations and results during fisacal year.-Operations during the fiscal year consisted of the continuation of construction of unit I of the Cache River diversion by contract and the conduct of negotiations and condemnations for rights-of-way necessary for the Cache River diversion. The costs during the fiscal year were $200,465.36 from regular funds for new work. The expenditures were $148,136.48. Condition at end of fiscal year.-At the end of the fiscal year the construction of the Ohio River section was complete, construction of unit I of the Cache River diversion (less drainage structure) was 46 percent complete, rights-of-way for the Cache River diversion were in possession of the United States, and contracts were in effect for the construction of bridges and relocations in connection with the Cache River diversion. All contracts requiring the use of critical material in construction have been deferred for the duration of the present national emergency. The work remaining to be done consists of the completion of con- struction of unit I of the Cache River diversion, the construction of bridges and relocations for the Cache River diversion, the preparation of plans and specifications for unit II of the Cache River diversion and the pumping plants, and the construction of these features. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $664,985.42 from regular funds for new work. The expenditures were $596,395.50. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1943, amounting to $887,604.50, will be applied as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1131 Accounts payable June 30, 1943------------- ---------------- $68, 589. 92 New work: Stream gaging fiscal year 1944 (hired labor July 1, 1943, to June 30, 1944) ---------------------- $2,- 150. 00 Preparing construction plans and specifications (hired labor July 1, 1943, to June 30, 1944 ------------- 37, 583. 65 Federal rights-of-way and damage costs: Land and acquisition (hired labor) --------------------- 15, 856. 29 Construction of Cache River diversion (unit I-hired labor operations in connection with termination of contracts, July 1 to Sept. 30, 1943) -------------- 1, 040. 77 Contingencies and clean-up operations on partially completed work (hired labor July 1, 1943, to June 30, 1944)----------------- ------------- 18, 844. 64 75, 475. 35 Balance available for revocation because of work de- ferred on account of war ----------------------------- 743, 539. 23 Total --------------- ----------------------------- 887, 604. 50 No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 in view of existing war time restrictions on new construction.

EMERGENCY FLOOD-CONTROL WORK The Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941, authorized the allotment from flood-control appropriations of not to exceed $1,000,000 for any one fiscal year to be expended in rescue work or in the repair or maintenance of any flood-control work threatened or destroyed by flood. The sum of $350,000 was allotted during the fiscal year for emer- gency repairs and rescue work in the Louisville district. The unexpended balance on June 30, 1943, in the amount of $350,000, less the sum of $142,100 revoked in July and August 1943, a total of $207,900, will be applied during the fiscal year 1944 to the repair and maintenance of levees damaged by floods. 1136 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Because of the heavy demands for emergency repair work on flood- control structures damaged or destroyed by the disastrous floods which occurred in the spring of 1943, Congress in the act approved July 12, 1943, Public No. 138, Seventy-eighth Congress, authorized the amount of $10,000,000 to be appropriated as an emergency fund to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of War and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers for the repair, restoration, and strengthening of levees and other flood-control works which had been threatened or destroyed by the recent floods. The Second Deficiency Appropriation Act approved July 12, 1943, Public No. 140, Seventy- eighth Congress, appropriated the amount of $10,000,000 for the pur- pose of carrying out the emergency flood-control work authorized in Public No. 138. The provisions of this act are additional and sup- plemental to, and not in lieu of, existing general legislation author- izing allocation of flood-control funds for restoration of flood-control works threatened or destroyed by flood. The sum of $2,080,000, allotted to the Louisville district in July 1943, will be applied during the fiscal year 1944 to the repair. restora- tion, and strengthening of levees damaged by recent floods in the Wabash River Basin.

OHIO RIVER, OPEN CHANNEL WORK (For report on this improvement see page 1057.) 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 Pittsburgh, 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 Ken- tucky River is 258.6 miles to the confluence of the middle and north forks. The river frequently fises 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 rehabilita- tion 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 Recort 1879, p. 1398). Operation and care of the locks and dams 1140 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act, approved June 26, 1934. No project map of the river has been published.

Terminal facilities.-Practicallyno terminal facilities exist for gen- eral merchandise and miscellaneous freight. At and near Beattyville and Ravenna large tanks are located for the storage of oil which was formerly shipped in barges by the river. Tanks for receiving gasoline are located at or near Carrollton, Frankfort, and Camp Nelson, Ky. Six inclines and one unloading tipple 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 and 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 only temporary interruptions to traffic at some of the locks due to high water. Sufficient dredging was done through bars in the channel and de- posits removed from lock chambers and approaches to permit the passage of commercial tows. The full project depth of 6 feet was available throughout the period. This condition was made possible by the installation of temporary splash boards 12 inches high on the concrete crest of dams Nos. 12 and 13. These splash boards replaced RIVERS AND HARBORS-CINCINNATI, OHIO, DISTRICT 1141 the worn out and unserviceable A-frame crests which were removed in 1935. The major items of maintenance of lock and dam structures were as follows: Lock No. 1, stabilize slipping hillside in rear of lock dwellings; lock No. 2, repairs to upper guard wall; lock No. 3, repairs to upper guide wall; repairs to top course of stone on lock walls; repairs to lower guard wall; lock No. 4, repairs to lower lock gates; repairs to top course of stone on lock walls; lock No. 8, repairs to stone quoins at upper gates; lock No. 10, renew operating machinery on lower gate valves; lock No. 11, renew operating machinery on lower gate valves. The cost of maintenance work was $225,309.07 of which $71,177.37 was for channel maintenance and $154,131.70 was for operation and care. The total expenditures for the year were $218,545.15. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1917. The work accomplished under the project has been the rehabilitation of the five old State locks and dams and the con- struction 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 6, inclusive, and lock No. 8, are wearing away by erosion. Spalling of the walls at locks Nos. 5 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, varies 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 leakage 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. 11 and 12 where the concrete quoins, gate valves, timbers and miter timbers are in poor condition. The con- crete guide and guard walls, and piers at the locks are mostly founded on stone-filled timber cribs and are generally in poor condition. Due to deterioration of the supporting cribs, most of these walls and piers are settling and leaning and some actual failures have occurred. The channel is in fair condition. The total cost on this project to the end of the fiscal year was $5,448,694.97 of which $4,176,749.05 was for new work and $348,836.45 for maintenance and $923,109.47 for operation and care. The ex- penditures were $5,421,184.25. In addition, the sum of $6,405,371.78 was expended between July 5, 1884, 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. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1943, less the amount of $155,400 revoked July 1, 1943, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1943-------------------------------- $26, 699.72 Maintenance: Channel dredging ------------------------------------------ 30,000.00 1142 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

IRONTON, OHIO RVER 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 flood. The works begin at high ground near the upstream corpora- 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 pumping 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 $669,000 for rights-of-way and damages. Local cooperqtion.-See page 6 for requirements. The requirements are being fulfilled. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Construction of north unit, comprising about 9,500 lineal feet of levee, four closure gates, and three sewage pumps was completed. All incidental work such as grading and seeding was completed. The cost of new work during the year was $36,925.66 from regular funds, and the expenditures were minus $56,057.50 from regular funds. The work performed was ac- complished by hired labor and by contract. 1146 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project has been completed except for minor repairs and adjustments, which will be taken care of during the fiscal year 1944. The project was turned over to the city of Ironton for maintenance and operation on June 17, 1943. The cost of the existing project at the end of the fiscal year was $2,529,568.53, of which $2,457,458.91 was from regular funds and $72,109.62 from Emergency Relief funds. The total expenditures were $2,420,089.76, of which $2,347,980.14 was from regular funds and $72,109.62 was from Emergency Relief funds.

LAWRENCEBURG, OHIO RIVER BASIN, IND. Location.-The project is located at the city of Lawrenceburg, on the right bank of the Ohio River, 492.9 miles below Pittsburgh and 22 miles below Cincinnati, in the southeastern corner of Dearborn County, Ind. Existing project.-The existing project provides for reinforcing, supplementing, and extending the present protective works at the city of Lawrenceburg. Beginning at high ground on the eastern side of Greendale, a levee extends across the low ground in northern Law- renceburg to the present levee system and follows the present system to and along the Ohio River and along Tanners Creek to tie into high ground with a concrete wall on the western side of Greendale in the vicinity of Seagram's warehouses. The entire project comprises the construction of about 18,000 lineal feet of levee; 320 lineal feet of rein- forced concrete wall; the relocation of a part of Tanners Creek involv- ing the excavation of about 130,000 cubic yards of earth; the provision of 8 traffic openings to permit free passage of traffic during normal periods; the construction of appropriate gates to close the aforemen- tioned openings during flood periods; and the provision of appropriate internal drainage facilities and other appurtenant works. The project will protect practically the entire city of Lawrenceburg and the entire suburb of Greendale against floods equivalent to that of 1937 (maxi- mum of record) with a 3-foot freeboard. 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 the project, revised in 1943, is $2,460,000, of which $2,340,000 is for construction and $120,000 is for rights-of-way and damages. 1148 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 free- board. The works begin at high ground near the upstream end of town and extend to the right bank of State Road Fork, curve down- stream parallel 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 con- struction of about 4,700 linear feet of earth levee and appurtenant works, together with pumping facilities to dispose of internal drain- age. 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 IH. Doc.

OHIO RIVER OPEN CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement see p. 1057. 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 maintained is 2 feet. The navigable depth between lock No. 1 and the mouth, a dis- tance 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 construc- tion of a new lock and dam No. 11, at a cost of about $143,000, the repair and extension of a levee at dam No. 10, and some minor work, the net total expended from specific appropriations having been $301,- 911.53. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 19371 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 improvement and was not a part of this project. Operating and care of the locks and dams were included in 1164 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Ap- propriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. No project 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 mine conveyor to barges is located at mile 71.1. A new dock, located at mile 74.7, for loading coal from motor trucks to barges was placed in operation, replacing a similar dock located at mile 72.1 which was abandoned. Coal shipped from these docks is unloaded at a slip situated at mile 67.7. Two yards, principally equipped for unloading sand and gravel, are situated at miles 0.2 and 76.4, respectively. Numerous landings, not equipped, are used to stock pile sand and gravel for State and county roads. Two private terminals for handling petroleum prod- ucts exist on the river. The terminal facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The locks and dams were operated as required and the necessary repairs were made thereto and to appurtenant structures to maintain in a serviceable condition. Sufficient dredging was done in canals, lock chambers and approaches and at other critical locations to permit the passage of commercial tows. Navigation was suspended 3 days due to extreme high water and during the entire year at lock No. 11 because of unserviceable condition of lock gates. The cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $93,371.89 of which $15,707.51 was for channel maintenance and $77,664.38 for operation and care of locks and dams. The expen- ditures were $91,520.30. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The locks and dams are in fair condition. The available depth for navigation is 4.5. 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 $1,004,931.08 of which $301,911.53 was for new work and $703,019.55 for maintenance, including $660,087.09 for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $999,437.88. In addition, the sum of $3,995,355.89 was expended between April 7, 1887, and June 30, 1936, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and accounts re- ceivable on June 30, 1943, together with an allotment of $21,000 made in July 1943 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1943 493. 20 $,------------------------------ Maintenance: Channel work__ - ------------- 16, 000. 00 Maintenance (operating and care) (hired labor and Government plant) : Operation - --------------- 68, 080.17 Ordinary repairs ---- --------------------------------- 2,500. 00 Improvement and reconstruction -- - 25, 100. 00 Total-------------------- ----------------------- 117, 173. 37 The additional sum of $152,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1945, to be applied as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-HUNTINGTON, W.

ARMY, 1943 Local cooperation.-Under license No. 1175, issued by the Federal Power Commission, the Kanawha Valley Power Co., has constructed hydroelectric plants at London and Marmet locks and dams, a license fee of $32,000 per annum having been fixed for each site. The Ka- nawha Valley Power Co. has also constructed a hydroelectric plant at Winfield locks and dam, under license No. 1290, a license fee of $40,000 per annum having been fixed. Terminal facilities.-The public terminal facilities consist of a paved landing at Charleston, W. Va. There are eight gasoline and oil unloading stations at Charleston and vicinity, Cabin Creek, Boomer, and South Charleston, a dock at Nitro, W. Va., for unloading acid, two coal unloading terminals each at Belle and Cabin Creek, W. Va.; and a terminal at Alloy, W. Va., generally used for unloading coke. 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 work.-Work in connection with the acquisition of flowage easements occasioned by the increased pool heights was continued. The actual cost during the fiscal year was $35,273.15, all from regular funds. 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 and dredging in lower approach to Winfield Locks was done to permit the passage of commercial tows. Navigation was suspended 3 days at Winfield Locks due to extreme high water. The cost of maintenance during the fiscal year, all from regular funds, was $190,415.17, of which $6,686.26 was for channel maintenance and $183,728.91 for operating and care of locks and dams. The total cost for the fiscal year was $225,688.32 of which $35,273.15 was for new work and $190,415.17 for maintenance. The total ex- penditures were $228,081.57. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 98 per- cent completed. The work remaining to be done consists of complet- ing the procurement of flowage easements. The available depth for navigation is 9 feet from the mouth of the river to the head of the improvement, a distance of 90.57 miles. Above the improved portion of the river the minimum depth in the channel is less than 1 foot. For details of locks and dams see table under paragraph "Existing projects." The total cost, all funds, under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $24,178,495.05, of which $9,191,304.41 regular funds. $9,004,800.23 Public Work funds, and $4,498,636.03 Emergency Relief funds, a total of $22,694,740.67, was for new work and $1,483,754.38 regular funds for maintenance, including $1,317,876.98 for operation and care of locks and dams. The total expenditures were $24,172,- 433.60, including $9,004,800.23 Public Works funds and $4,498,636.03 Emergency Relief funds.

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 Catletts- burg, 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 Annual Report for 1915, page 1929, and Annual Report for 1938, page 1318. Existing project.-This provides for three locks and dams on the main river, two locks and dams each on Levisa Fork and Tug Fork, and regulating works below lock No. 1, reaching to the Ohio River. Only the three locks and dams on the main river and the lower lock and dam on each fork have been constructed. The existing im- provement 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.

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., for handling petroleum products, and one privately owned coal tipple located on the left bank at Louisa, Ky. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. 558155---44-pt. 1, vol. 2- 9 1176 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The locks and dams were operated as required and necessary repairs made thereto and to the appurtenant structures. The c6st of operating and care during the fiscal year was $22,649.43. The expenditures were $21,433.65. 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 projects." The total cost under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $1,494,358.38, of which $1,205,804.92 was for new work and $288,553.46 for maintenance, including $223,695.80 for operation and care of locks and dams. The total expenditures were $1,492,592.97. In addition, the sum of $1,002,273.16 was expended between January 1897 and June 30, 1938, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefienite appropriation for such purposes.

MUSKINGUM RIVER RESERVOIR, OHIO Location.-The Muskingum River lies in southeastern Ohio, and with its tributaries, drains approximately 8,000 square miles. Its headwaters rise abbut 25 miles south of Lake Erie and it flows into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project.-Underthe 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 improvement 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 Rail- road 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. Addi- tional allotments of $3,500,000 and $1,600,000 were made on February 13, 1936, and July 23, 1937, respectively, by the Public Works Admin- istration, to cover the increased costs of the reservoirs and local pro- tective works and to cover the acquisition of land or flood easements from the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District of Ohio. The allotments were made on the 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 con- struction 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- 1180 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 ancy District in Ohio, a sum not to exceed the actual expenditures made by it in acquiring lands, easements, and rights-of-way for reser- voirs in the Muskingum River Valley, but such reimbursements shall not exceed $4,500,000, nor include any expenditures for lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way heretofore or hereafter purchased from said district by the United States. 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 Conservancy 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.

MASSILLON, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location.-Massillon, Ohio, is located in Stark County, on the Tuscarawas River, 200 miles above the mouth of the Muskingum River. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides generally for improvement of the channel of the Tuscarawas River, constructing complementary levees, pumping stations and appurtenances, and remedial work. The project has been subdivided into five construction units, namely, (1) constructing two pressure conduits, (2) section 1, widening and deepening the present channel for a distance of 6,400 feet, constructing 4,000 feet of new channel, and 3,900 feet of levees, relocating 3.68 miles of railroad lines with facilities, including con- structing four railroad bridges, the substructure of an additional rail- road bridge, and replacing one highway bridge, (3) constructing the superstructure of the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge across the Tus- carawas River, (4) section 2, widening and deepening the present channel for a distance of 3.600 feet, constructing 2,500 feet of new channel and 13,600 feet of levees, relocating 2.15 miles of railroad lines with facilities, replacing two highway bridges with viaducts and reconstruction of affected water service and public utility lines, and (5) constructing four pumping stations. In addition, the United States has entered into agreements with affected property owners for the performance of certain remedial work connected with the project. The project will provide protection (with 3-foot freeboard) against a flood with peak discharge 20 percent greater than maximum of record. The existing project was 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 1942, is $4,650,000. In addition to the amount to be expended by the United States, the Massillon Conservancy District has contributed $485,600 for ad- RIVERS AND HARBORS-HUNTINGTON, W.

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 Company, and the ex- tension of slack-water navigation to the head of the river by the con- struction 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1207 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 two 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 con- trolling 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, was $11,- 500,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care of locks and dams, made in 1936, is $667,500. 558155-44-pt. 1, vol. 2- 11 1208 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Hj I. 1210 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY,' 1943 Terminal facilities.-The city of Pittsburgh has constructed a mod- ern wharf for river freight. Boat landings are mlaintained 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. Existing private terminals are adequate for shipments and re- ceipt 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-Maintenance.-A gen- eral survey consisting of field work and the preparation of drawings was in progress. The drawings include soundings, contours to high water, and such other identifying bank topography as can be secured from aerial photographs. Soundings were taken at various locations from the mouth of the river to pool No. 8 and plans prepared for fu- ture dredging. A total of 65,497 cubic yards of material was dredged from the channel at a number of bars in the lower reach of the river. Maintenance (operating and care).-All structures were operated and maintained in a serviceable condition throughout the year. In addition to ordinary repairs to structures and plant, the following ma- jor work was performed: The preparation of plans and specifications was commenced for the reconstruction of lock No. 2; at lock No. 3, the upper lock gates in the river chamber and the lower lock gates in the land chamber were replaced and repairs made to the emptying valves in the land chamber; at lock No. 4, the lower lock gates in the land chamber were replaced; at lock No. 5, the lower lock gates in the land chamber were repaired; at lock No. 6, the upper lock gates in the land chamber were replaced; at lock No. 8, the lower emptying valve in the river wall was replaced and the resurfacing of the lock walls com- pleted; at lock No. 10, the upper lock gates were repaired; at lock No. 11, the upper lock gates were replaced and the upper mitre sill re- paired; at lock No. 12, the lower lock gates were replaced; and at lock No. 15, the upper lock gates were repaired. Locks Nos. 10 to 15, inclusive, were converted from hand to mechanical operation. At locks Nos. 10 to 15, inclusive, the U. S. dredge Beaver removed 23,086 cubic yards of accumulated muck and silt from the lock chambers and approaches. The total costs were $732,954.72, of which $53,864.37 was for channel maintenance and $679,090.35 for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $732,216.04. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1941. The 13 locks and dams are in operation, providing slack-water navigation throughout the entire length of the river. The navigation channel has been maintained to project depth affording adequate depth for the passage of commercial tows. RIVERS AND HIARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1211 The total costs of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $14,134,573.74, of which $10,415,031.11 was for new work, and $3,719,542.63 for maintenance, including $3,598,885.82 for operation and care of locks and dams. The total expenditures were $14,105,- 270.44. 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 ap- propriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1943, together with an allotment of $110,000 received in July 1943, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable ---------------- $29, 303. 30 Maintenance: Complete general survey (mouth to lock No. 15) by hired labor (July 1, 1943, to June 30, 1944) .-- $11, 575. 00 Dredging (mouth to lock No. 15) by hired labor, as needed-- ------------------------------- 26, 450. 00 Snagging (mouth to lock No. 15) by hired labor, as needed ,000. 00 1------------------------------------ Surveys for dredging (mouth to lock no. 15) by hired labor-------------------------------- 2, 000. 00 TDotal for maintenance 41, 025. 00 Maintenance (operating and care) : Operation of locks and dams------------------- $514, 500. 00 Ordinary maintenance and repairs-__ 17, 905. 00 Improvement and reconstruction---------------- 176, 331. 11 Total for maintenance (operating and care)_ 708, 736.11 Total for all work ---------------------------------- 779, 064. 41 The additional sum of $808,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 as follows: Maintenance: Dredging (mouth to lock No. 15) by hired labor, as needed ------------------------------------ $45, 000 Snagging (mouth to lock No. 15) by hired labor, as needed-------------------------------------7, 500 Surveys for dredging (mouth to lock No. 15) by hired labor -------------------------------- 7, 500 Total for maintenance-------------- $60,000 Maintenance (operating and care) : Operation of locks and dams_ ---------------------- $515, 500 Ordinary maintenance and repairs----------- 26, 000 Improvement and reconstruction------------------ 207, 000 Total for maintenance (operating and care) -----------------_ 748, 500 Total for all work------- ----------------------------- 808, 500 Cost and financial summary _.__________---.._ Cost of new work to June 30, 1943: $15, 835, 571. 63 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1943_ ---------------------- 24, 166, 871. 61 Total eost of permanent work to June 30, 1943----------- 40, 002, 443. 24 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1943__ ___-____ 29, 303. 30 Net total expenditures_ _______________---_ 39, 973, 139.94 Unexpended balance June 30, 1943 ___--_----------- --- _669, 064. 41 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1943__-------- 40, 642, 204. 35 1212 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1215 Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-The city of Pittsburgh is constructing a mod- ern wharf for river freight. There are numerous privately main- tained terminals and docks consisting of tipples, various types of hoists, chutes, and pipe lines for use in loading and unloading coal, coke, sand, gravel, limestone, cement, petroleum products, steel prod- ucts, and other commodities. The transshipment of freight between river and railroads is handled at privately owned river-to-rail ter- minals. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-The U. S. dredge Beaver removed 31,188 cubic yards of material in widening the lower approach to lock No. 3. Negotiations and purchase of land and flowage easements in pools Nos. 8 and 9 were continued. Maintenance (operating and care).-All structures were operated and maintained in a serviceable condition throughout the year. In addition to ordinary repairs to structures and plant, the following major work was performed: At lock No. 4, resurfacing the lock walls was completed and repairs were partially made to the esplanade, fence, etc., which were damaged by high water; at lock No. 7, the lock walls were resurfaced; and at lock No. 8, repairs were made to the abutment dike, which was damaged by high water. The costs were $250,092.25 of which $5,976.35 was for new work, $1,058.19 was for channel maintenance, and $243,057.71 for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $256,073.79. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 99.9 percent completed. The eight locks and dams are in operation, providing slack-water navigation for a distance of 72 miles above the mouth of the river. The navigation channel has been widened at certain points and the channel maintained in general to project depth affording adequate depth for the passage of commercial tows. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the completion of the purchase of land and flowage easements in pools Nos. 8 and 9. The total costs of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were as follows: Regular funds: New work-------------------------------------------- $14, 429, 770. 43 Maintenanc --------------------------------------------- 258, 792. 55 Maintenance (operating and care) ------------------------ 2, 080, 406. 24 Total----------------------------------------------- 16, 768, 960. 22 Public Works funds: New work 19,250, 049. 38 Emergency Relief funds: New work 2, 453, 736. 83 Total cost, all funds----------------------------------20, 472, 755. 43 The total expenditures were $20,454,286.48 of which $16,750,500.27 was from regular funds, $1,250,049.38 from Public Works funds, and $2,453,736.83 from Emergency Relief funds. In addition, the sum of $3,528,158.88 was expended between January 1, 1903, and June 30, 1935, in the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

OHIO RIVER, OPEN-CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement, see page 1057. 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 inrto Pennsylvania, thence northwestward to empty into the Monongahela River at McKees- port, Pa. Its length is 123 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for southwestern Pennsylvania, western Maryland, and north- ern 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 re- port). A map of the river is printed in House Document No. 82, Fifty-sixth Congress, first session. The Chief of Engineers is au- thorized to revise the plans and estimates to meet any changes in conditions. 1218 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Terminal facilities.-Privately maintained terminals for unload- ing coal, sand, gravel, manufactured products, etc., ample for pres- ent requirements, exist at McKeesport, Pa. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Dredgingof 25,050 cubic yards of material from the channel from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa., a distance of approximately 1.3 miles, was accom- plished by U. S. derrickboats Nos. 3 and 5. The total costs were $10,659.33, all for maintenance. The total expenditures were $10,652.76. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No canalization work has been done on the existing project, The effect of pool No. 2, Monongahela River, on the dredged channel at the lower portion of the Youghiogheny 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. The total cost since the adoption of the existing project was $74,635.54, all for maintenance. The total expenditures under the existing project were $74,635.54. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1943, amounting to $4,103.71, will be applied to hired labor maintenance dredging of a 9-foot channel between the mouth and Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa. An additional sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 to be applied to maintenance dredging of the 9-foot channel from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1219 6. 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 Survey 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 1,896 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. Ap- proximately 279,000 acre-feet of this controlled storage are avail- able for flood prevention in the Monongahela and Ohio Valleys, while the remaining 11,000 acre-feet are conservation storage. Low water control is also provided 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 pen- stocks 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 year-New Work.-All work in connection with land acquisition was completed. State Senate Bill No. 59, introduced January 27, 1943, for enactment by the Legis- lature of West Virginia, was signed by the Governor on March 9, 1943. This bill provides for the conveyance by the Federal Govern- ment to the State Conservation Commission of approximately 3,300 acres of land, adjacent to the Tygart River Reservoir, to release all claims of the State of West Virginia for damages to roads and highways caused by construction of the Tygart River Reservoir and permits sale of adjacent land by a State agency. Negotiations are being carried out to effect an agreement between the State Act 'and Public Law No. 158, Seventy-seventh Congress, first session, author- izing the transfer of certain lands to the State of West Virginia. Maintenance (operating and care).-The structure was maintained and operated in a serviceable condition throughout the year. In addi- tion to ordinary repairs to structures and plant, reconstruction of the trash boom was completed and an inspection was made of the emergency slide gates by means of bulkheading and unwatering each of eight slide gate outlets. The total costs were $39,880.64, of which $683.03 was for new work, and $39,197.61 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $41,531.31. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is fully com- pleted except for conclusion of negotiations to effect an agreement between the State Act and Public Law No. 158, Seventy-seventh Con- gress, first session, authorizing the transfer of certain lands to the State of West Virginia. The dam is in operation for low-water con- 1220 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Location.-The dam site is located on Tionesta Creek, 1.2 miles above the junction of the creek with the Allegheny River at Tio- nesta, Pa., and about 78 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located entirely in Forest County, Pa. (See U. S. Geo- logical Survey charts for Tionesta, Tidioute, and Sheffield, Pa.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a flood control reservoir dam of the earth-fill type with separate uncon- trolled saddle spillway and tunnel outlet works. The dam is 1,050 feet long at the top, rises 154 feet above the stream bed, and pro- vides for the gross controlled storage of 133,400 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 483 square miles. Of this storage 125,600 acre-feet are available for flood prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The remaining 7,800 acre- feet are in permanent storage. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and 558155-44-pt. 1, vol, 2--12 1224 REPORT OF CHIEF OF EN GINEERS, U. S.

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 Creek 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1229 channels and protecting the banks with concrete pavement. Miscel- laneous features of work include relocation of railroad track, high- way and utilities, and alterations to sewers, drains, bridge piers, and other structures. The improvement involves about 47,300 feet of channel as follows: The Conemaugh River for a distance of 19,100 feet extending from the "Point" downstream to about 2,650 feet below the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge at Dornick Point: the Little Cone- maugh River for a distance of 7,500 feet from the "Point" upstream to about 150 feet below the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge in the vi- cinity of Fifth Street; and Stony Creek for a distance of 20,700 feet from the "Point" upstream to about 500 feet above the Ferndale Bridge in the vicinity of the borough of Ferndale. The project is designed to accommodate discharges equivalent to those of the March 1936 flood, the maximum natural flow of record, with a minimum of overbank flow and to practically eliminate damages therefrom. 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 1942, is$8,670,000 of which $7,793,000 is for construction and $877,000 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-lNew work.-Prelimi- nary work performed consisted of surveys, studies, design, and final revision of plans. Surveys, investigations and settlements relative to the purchase of land were continued. Flowage easements were ac- quired over 10.47 acres of land during the year. Construction work accomplished on the two remaining units is as follows: Unit No. 5.-The contractor completed operations in November on this unit, which involved 8,600 feet of channel improvement on Stony Creek beginning at a point 400 feet above the mouth of the stream. Approximately 199,288 cubic yards of unclassified material and 1,937 cubic yards of special rock excavation were removed from the banks and channel. In completing bank protection work, 1,076 cubic yards of special excavation were removed, and 5,800 cubic yards of earth and rock fill, .6,900 cubic yards of gravel backing, 78,411 pounds of reinforcing steel and 15,453 cubic yards of concrete were placed. Mis- cellaneous work such as removal or alteration of existing structures, relocation of sewer siphon, bridge pier protection, and alterations to culverts, drains and water lines was fully completed. Hand and guard railing was erected at various 'locations on the right and left banks of the channel by hired labor forces. Unit No. 6.-The contractor continued operations on this unit, which involves 11,700 feet of channel improvement on Stony Creek commencing at the end of unit No. 5 and extending upstream to the vicinity of the Borough of Ferndale. The contractor removed 217,725 cubic yards of unclassified material and 2,414 cubic yards of special rock excavation from the banks and channel. In connection with bank protection work, 680 cubic yards of special excavation were removed and 80,521 cubic yards of earth and rock fill, 3,843 cubic yards of gravel backing, 32,693 pounds of reinforcing steel and 12,003 cubic yards of concrete were placed. Alterations to the sewer siphon and construction of new bridge piers for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad 1230 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 bridge were completed. Miscellaneous work such as alterations to culverts, drains, and water lines, and treatment of existing structures was well under way. The total costs were $1,434,476.81, of which $1,434,473.03 was for new work and $3.78 was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,390,958.51. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project as a whole, including land acquisition, is approximately 86.5 percent physically com- pleted. Construction of units Nos. 1, 2, 3, and supplementary unit No. 2A, all in the Conemaugh River section of the channel improve- ment, is fully completed. Unit No. 4 comprising all of the Little Conemaugh River section is fully completed. Unit No. 5 on Stony Creek is completed, and construction of unit No. 6 also on Stony Creek is approximately 50 percent physically complete.

Location.-The dam site is located on Mahoning Creek in Arm- strong County, Pa., 21.6 miles above the junction of the creek with the Allegheny River. It is about 61/~ miles southeast of New Beth- lehem, Pa., and about 51 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The 1232 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 val- ley sides. The dam is 926 feet long at the top, rises 160 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross controlled storage of 74,200 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 341 square miles. Of this storage 69,700 acre-feet are available for flood pre- vention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The remaining 4,500 acre-feet are in permanent storage. Two penstocks are contained in the structure for possible future generation of hy- droelectric power. The reservoir is 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 fiscal year-New work.-A small amount of preliminary work was performed consisting of "as built" revision of plans for the dam, operation plan and manual, and miscel- laneous design and drafting. Seeding and planting of the relocated cemeteries at Smicksburg, Pa., was accomplished, thus completing all work under the contract. Some highway and utility relocation work was done under contract by the owning agencies under agree- ment with the United States. Certain areas in the reservoir were cleared of floatable materials. The fee title to 254.95 acres and a flowage and clearing easement over 2.47 acres of land in the reser- voir area were acquired during the year. Maintenance.-The structure was maintained and operated in a serviceable condition throughout the fiscal year. The total costs were $177,645.16, of which $152,195.60 was for new work and $25,449.56 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $180,928.55. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project as a whole is practi- cally completed physically. The work remaining to be done, ex- clusive of that deferred until after the war, consists of preliminary work; clearing a few scattered parcels in the reservoir area for which right-of-entry has not yet been obtained; making settlements on re- maining utility relocations; completing work on relocation of a State highway at Milton, Pa.; and concluding all work necessary to the acquisition of land in the reservoir area. Work deferred for the duration of the war involves construction of public sanitary build- ing, relocation of a number of highways, landscaping and parking area; access road; and certain miscellaneous appurtenances ultimately required at the dam.

YOUGHIOGHENY RIVER RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. Location.-The dam site is located on the Youghiogheny River about 74.2 miles above its junction with the Monongahela River at McKeesport, Pa. It is 1.2 miles upstream from Confluence, Pa., and about 57 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located in Fayette and Somerset Counties, Pa., and Garrett County, Md. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Confluence, Pa., and Accident, Md., W. Va., and Pa.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a reservoir dam of the rolled-fill type with separate uncontrolled side channel spillway and tunnel outlet works. The dam will be 1,595 feet long at the top, rise 184 feet above the stream bed, and will provide for the gross controlled storage of 254,000 acre-feet of water from a tribu- tary drainage area of 435 square miles. Of this storage 5,000 acre- feet will be in permanent storage and the remaining 249,000 acre-feet will be available for flood control, navigation aid, and pollution- abatement purposes. The reservoir will be operated for flood-pre- vention purposes as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The project was selected for construction under the general authoriza- tion for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1943, is $9,600,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. 1238 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.--Preliminary work performed consisted of surveys, foundation investigations, re- ports, and design and drafting. Construction of the embankment and .spillway was continued under contract with the embankment being substantially completed on June 17, 1943. Approximately 312,164 cubic yards of selected impervious fill, 1,415,607 cubic yards of ran- dom fill, 18,733 cubic yards of filter fill, and 581,611 cubic yards of rock fill were placed in the embankment section. At the spillway area, 171,043 cubic yards of common excavation and 1,520,383 cubic yards of rock were removed, a portion being used in the embankment and the remainder wasted. From the borrow area 787,193 cubic yards of material were also moved for use in the embankment, park- ing area on the left abutment, and the access road. Work on the hori- zontal drain holes in the spillway was nearly completed and concrete work was commenced, a total of 3,657 cubic yards being placed in the spillway wall, weir, and floor slabs. Grading work at the park- ing area and on access roads was practically completed and landscap- ing and planting at these areas was well under way. Clearing of the reservoir area was continued by hired labor, 2,433 acres being cleared during the year. Final settlement was made rela- tive to the purchase and abandonment of the Confluence and Oakland Branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Work on negotiations and agreements relative to highway and utility alterations and relo- cations was continued and some settlements made with the owning agencies. In connection with the acquisition of land in the reservoir area, the fee title to 1,962.15 acres was acquired during the year. The cost, all for new work, was $3,577,317.49. The expenditures were $3,533,563.42. Condition at end of fscal year.-The project as a whole is approxi- mately 72.5 percent physically complete. Construction of the outlet works is fully completed. Construction of the embankment and the portion of the spillway being constructed during the emergency is approximately 86 percent complete. About 90 percent of clearing work in the reservoir area has been accomplished. In connection with land acquisition work, negotiations are 100 percent complete, rights of entry have been acquired on practically all of the land in the reservoir area, and all work necessary to the acquisition of land is 95 percent complete. The work remaining to be done, exclusive of that deferred until after the war, consists of preliminary work;. completion of mis- cellaneous work at the embankment, a portion of the spillway, and related work under contract; completion of clearing in the reservoir area by hired labor; making settlements relative to highways affected by the reservoir; concluding the purchase of land; and certain mis- cellaneous appurtenances to the dam. Work deferred for the duration of the war involves construction of the remaining portion of the spill- way lining, completion of certain public utility relocations, dam- tenders' dwellings, public sanitary building, landscaping, surfacing of access road and parking area, and certain miscellaneous appurtenances ultimately required at the dam. The total cost to the end of the fiscal year, all for new work, was $6,746,504.64. The total expenditures were $6,411576.08.

BERLIN RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location.-The dam site is located on the Mahoning River about 73 miles above its confluence with the Shenango River. It is about 10 miles above the existing Milton Reservoir Dam and 35 miles upstream from Warren, Ohio. The reservoir is located in Portage, Mahoning, and Stark Counties, Ohio. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Warren, Ravenna, and Alliance, Ohio.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a reservoir dam with a partially controlled, concrete, gravity, center spillway flanked by rolled-fill abutment sections joining the valley sides. Thet dam is 5,750 feet long at the top, rises 95 feet above the stream bed,. and provides for the gross controlled storage of 71,000 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 250 square miles. Of this storage, 1,000 acre-feet are in permanent storage and the remaining 70,000 acre-feet are available for flood control and water supply purposes in the industrialized Mahoning Valley below. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Acts approved June 28, 1938 and August 18, 1941. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1943, is $7,250,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1241 Operations and results duringfiscal year--New work.-Preliminary work performed consisted of surveys, reports, studies, operation plan, and design and drafting. All work under the general contract for the construction of the dam was completed. The contractor excavated approximately 209,100 cubic yards of common material and 18,185 cubic yards of rock from the river bed and banks and borrow area; placed 101,572 cubic yards of random fill, 48,346 cubic yards of selected previous fill, and 17,841 cubic yards of dumped rock in the embankment sections of the dam; placed 233,603 pounds of reinforcing steel and 49,513 cubic yards of concrete in the spillway section of the dam, service bridge and related structures; and installed miscellaneous ma- chinery and equipment. An access road to the dam was also con- structed. The four crest gates and the traveling hoist were installed under contract. The relocation of the Lake Erie, Alliance & Wheeling Railroad under contract was started July 2, 1942, and was practically completed at the end of the year. The contractor for this work excavated 414,114 cubic yards of unclassified material in grading operations and placed 84,338 tons of slag riprap along the new right-of-way. Approxi- mately 3,445 cubic yards of unclassified material were excavated, and 436,100 pounds of reinforcing steel and 3,358 cubic yards of concrete were placed for the new bridge. Approximately 8,497 linear feet of track were laid. Normal traffic was routed over the new line on June 24, 1943. Hired labor forces completed drilling drainage holes and deep curtain grouting in the foundation of the dam, completed about 70 percent of the concrete apron sill, and commenced erection of a guard fence along the access road to the dam. Clearing the reservoir area was continued by hired labor, approximately 75 percent of this work being completed when operations had to be suspended due to reservoir storage. Placing dumped rock on the upstream slopes of the dam as additional protection was completed and alteration work to a township road under contract was well under way. A settlement in the form of a flowage easement over State high- ways affected by the reservoir was made and negotiations were under way relative to acquiring flowage easements over affected county roads. Work on negotiations and agreements relative to utility al- terations and relocations was continued and some utilities settlements were made. In connection with the acquisition o'f land in the reservoir area, the fee title to 13,479.39 acres and a flowage and clearing ease- ment over 456.79 acres were acquired. Rights of entry have been acquired on about 95 percent of the land within the reservoir area and all work necessary to the acquisition of land is about 87 percent complete. The cost, all for new work, was $4,451,667.46. The expenditures were $4,451,989.60. Condition at end of fisleal year.--The project as a whole is 75 per- cent physically complete. The dam is now in operation for flood control and low flow augmentation purposes in the industrialized Mahoning Valley below. The work remaining to be done, exclusive of that deferred until after the war, consists of preliminary work; completion of concrete apron sill, highway guard fence and alterations to township road; completion of clearing in the reservoir area by 1242 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 hired labor when storage conditions permit; purchase and installa- tion of certain machinery and equipment which at the present time is indefinite due to the use of critical materials; miscellaneous work under the contract for relocation of the Lake Erie, Alliance & Wheel- ing Railroad; making settlements relative to railroad, highways, and utilities affected by the reservoir; concluding the purchase of land; and certain miscellaneous appurtenances to the dam. Work deferred for the duration of the war involves construction of a con- crete stilling weir below the dam, damtenders' dwellings, public sani- tary building, paving of access road, landscaping and parking area, and certain miscellaneous appurtenances ultimately required. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all for new work, were $5,205,325.63. The expenditures were $5,082,903.48.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1251 Recommended modification of project.-Under date of November 26, 1942, the Chief of Engineers recommended construction of the Rowlesburg project on the Cheat River for control of floods, the de- velopment, transmission, and sale of hydroelectric power and for other beneficial uses, in accordance with the plan to operate the reservoir storage in the interest of flood control, with power instal- lation to be added when warranted, at an estimated first cost for the project of $29,230,000. The reservoir would be operated as a unit of the coordinated system in the upper Ohio River Basin for the protection of Pittsburgh, the lower Monongahela, lower Allegheny, and upper Ohio River Valleys. Under date of March 29, 1943, the Chief of Engineers recommended a preliminary plan for power development in the Youghiogheny River, including a proposed storage reservoir of 95,000 acre-feet on the upper Youghiogheny to provide flow regulation for downstream developments; three developments each consisting of a dam, tunnel, and hydroelectric plant; a power plant at the Youghiogheny Reservoir now under construction; a reregulating reservoir downstream from the lowermost power development; and necessary power distribution facilities. The estimated first cost of the proposed work is $37,970,000. Local cooperation.-See page 6 for requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations during the year consisted of making surveys, investigations, studies, and designs necessary for the preparation of detailed plans. The preparation of contract plans and specifications was in progress. The cost during the year was $43,235. The expenditures were $43,886.23. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The preparation of detailed plans and specifications was in progress. The construction progress of projects selected for construction under this authorization is given in individual reports. The total cost to the end of the fiscal year was $766,977.50, of which $744,900.11 was from regular funds and $22,077.39 was from Emer- gency Relief funds. The total expenditures were $767,262.92, of which $745,185.53 was from regular funds and $22,077.39 was from Emergency Relief funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1943, amounting to $486,712.96, and accounts receivable $527.98, less a rev- ocation of $337.72 made during July 1943, will be applied to the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications for the development of the general comprehensive plan. The additional sum of $110,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications for additional flood protection works included in the general comprehensive plan.

Location.-This harbor is at the extreme western end of Lake Su- perior. The cities of Duluth, Minn., and Superior, Wis., are situated on the north and south sides, respectively. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart- No. 966.) Previous projects.-Superior and Duluth were separate improve- ments until consolidated by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896. The original project for the harbor at Superior City was adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867; for Duluth Harbor by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871. These projects were modified by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873; March 3, 1881; July 5, 1884; August 5, 1886; August 11, 1888; and July 13, 1892. For further de- tails, see page 1929 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1400 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) Rebuilding the canal piers at Duluth entry with stone-filled timber-crib substructure and concrete superstructure 1,734 feet long and 300 feet apart for 1,250 feet, then flaring to 540 feet apart at the harbor end. (b) Replacing the north and south piers at Superior entry with concrete piers, 2,096 and 1,584 feet long, respectively, 500 feet apart for 808 feet then flaring at the harbor end.

(d) A flared lake approach to Duluth entry 32 feet deep, and a chan- nel between the piers 32 feet deep at the pierheads, gradually decreas- ing to 26 feet at the harbor basin. (e) A depth of 26 feet in the northern part of the harbor basin inside Duluth entry consisting of 201 acres; a depth of 25 feet in the southern portion of the harbor basin and part of the East Gate Basin; and a depth of 22 feet in the remainder of East Gate Basin, and in Superior Front Channel, through Superior Bay, 600 feet in width, ex- tending to Superior Harbor Basin, a distance of 13,200 feet. (f) A flared lake approach to Superior entry 32 feet deep; a chan- nel between the breakwater entrance and the pierheads, with a width varying from a minimum of 600 feet to a maximum of 1,100 feet, 32 feet deep at the breakwater entrance, gradually decreasing to 28 feet at the pierheads; a stilling basin of 20 acres, 24 feet deep, inside the breakwater; and a channel between the piers, 28 feet deep at the pier- heads, gradually decreasing to 25 feet at the harbor basin. (g) A harbor basin of 290 acres, 25 feet deep, inside Superior entry; a channel in Allouez Bay 2,100 feet long, 400 feet wide, and 22 feet deep; a depth of 25 feet in the south channel of St. Louis Bay from the entrance (East Gate Basin) to the cross channel, inclusive, with widths varying from 500 to 900 feet. (h) A depth of 25 feet in a cross channel, with minimum width of 1,150 feet, and a depth of 25 feet in the north channel of St. Louis Bay opposite the cross channel; elsewhere in the north channel and the south channel and the St. Louis River to a point 9,600 feet above the Grassy Point Bridge, a depth of 21 feet, and, except at Arrowhead Bridge, a minimum width of 400 feet; and a channel thence up St. Louis River 20 feet deep and 200 feet wide to Spirit Lake (southerly end of Big Island) a distance of about 14,200 feet. (i) A channel in Howards Bay 6,000 feet long, narrowing in width from 300 to 125 feet, and 21 feet deep; and a channel 3,300 feet long, 100 feet wide, and 20 feet deep at Twenty-first Avenue West in Duluth. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Su- perior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. Highest single gage reading, November 28, 1905, was 3.7 feet above low-water datum; lowest single gage reading, January 23, 1926, was 1.95 feet below low-water datum; the annual fluctuation is about 1 foot. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1932, was $7,100,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1932) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $100,000.

Terminal facilities.-Except that the facilities for handling pack- age freight, lumber, and general merchandise are susceptible of im- provement, the terminal facilities, consisting of wharves, ore docks, and grain elevators, are believed to be adequate for existing commerce, and are being increased as necessity demands. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairs were made to the Superior Entry rubble mound breakwater consisting of placing 730 tons of stone by Government plant and hired labor. The costs of the various items of work done during the year were as follows: $11,033.62 for breakwater repairs; $21,014.41 for pro- tective measures from sabotage of navigation structures; $4,138.98 for maintenance of parks and grounds, and $5,485.75 for inspections, surveys and harbor patrol. The total costs were $41,672.76 all for maintenance. The total expenditures were $41,524.85. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935. The following work has been accomplished: Dredg- ing of channels and basins under the existing project was completed in 1935; new piers, aggregating 3,468 feet in length, of concrete on stone-filled cribs founded on piles, completed in 1901 at Duluth Canal; new piers aggregating 3,680 feet in length, of concrete on piles, completed in 1909 at Superior entry; converging breakwaters comprising 4,205 linear feet of rubble mound, 900 linear feet of stone-filled cribs and concrete superstructure pierheads founded on piles, and 896 linear feet of concrete shore revetments on pile founda- tions, completed in 1912. All piers and revetments are riprapped. Project depths are available in the harbor as shown by surveys completed inMarch 1943, except in an area along the east project line of Superior Harbor Basin where the controlling depth is 21 feet and scattered shoals through the East Gate Basin, Superior Front Chan- nel, and Howards Bay. The entrance piers and breakwaters are all in fair condition. The total cost was $9,015,411.51, of which $6,857,290.52 was for new 1258 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 work and $2,158,120.99 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $9,014,087.64. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1943, $117,831.64, including accounts receivable at the end of the fiscal year, will be applied to maintenance as follows: Accounts payable--- ----------------------------------- $1,390. 87 Dredging with U.

PORT WING HARBOR, WIS. Location.-The harbor is situated on the south shore of Lake Su- perior, 34 miles east of Duluth. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 96, Lake Superior.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of two paral- lel piers at the entrance 200 feet apart and 800 and 825 feet long, re- spectively, the piers to consist of two rows of piling filled in with slabs and topped with large rock; for the construction of a return pile revetment at the inner end of the east pier to preserve the sand spit from erosion; a pile revetment along the east bank; and for dredg- ing a channel 150 feet wide with 15-foot depth between the piers and 500 feet along the pile revetment parallel to the spit. The ordinary variation of water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. 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 estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1908, is $56,539. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the river and harbor act of June 13, 1902. (H. Doc. No. 114, 56th Cong., 1st sess.) For latest published maps see Annual Report for 1903, page 1810. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is one public wharf and one private wharf,*both in poor condition. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce, consisting of a few small fish boats. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Minor repairs were made to the outer portion of the east pier by Government plant and hired labor. The costs and expenditures were $10,000, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project which is 90 per cent completed consists of two entrance piers,' 800 and 825 feet long, completed in 1917; a pile revetment 45 feet long at the inner end of the east pier and perpendicular to it, completed in 1903; an entrance channel 15,0 feet wide in the lake approach and 100 feet wide in the harbor, extending from deep water in the lake to a dis- tance of 200 feet inside of the inner end of the east pier, and a portion of the turning slip 150 feet wide and extending 200 feet east of the face of the east pier, dredged to a depth of 15 feet-below low-water datum in 1911. The piers and revetment are in very poor condition due to decay, wear of ice, and settlement of the stone and slab filling. At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depth was 9 feet in the channel, 150 feet wide in the lake approach, and 100 feet wide between the piers. To complete the project it would be necessary to widen 1260 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 the channel 50 feet between the piers and to extend the turning slip 300 feet and the revetment about 450 feet. The total cost and ex- enditures were $120,792, of which $48,355.23 was for new work and $72,436.77 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal years 1944 and 1945.

Recommended modifications of project.-Underdate of June 2, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing proj- ect 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 conditions 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.--No work was done or funds expended. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. The breakwater is in good condition, except for some settle- ment, which should be brought up to the prescribed elevations. At the end of the fiscal year project depths were available in the west channel and east basin. 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 expenditures were $1,201,806.17. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended June 30, 1943, $11,000 will be revoked. No work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1944. 1262 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

KEWEENAW WATERWAY, MICH. Location.-This waterway is a navigable channel, minimum width 300 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, pro- tected 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. (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. RIVERS, AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1265 (g) Reveting 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 Su- perior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1942, is $6,615,500. 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.

Terminal 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 repairs consisting of placing 3,062 tons of stone were made to the west break- water at the upper entrance. The costs of the various items of maintenance work during the year were as follows: $55,640.93 for breakwater repairs; $9,012.45 for inspections, surveys, and waterway patrol, a total of $64,653.38, all for maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $63,601.70. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 77 per- cent completed. The breakwaters are in good condition except for a weakness occurring in about 300 feet of the substructure of the break- water 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 condi- 1266 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 tion. The mooring pier at the Lily Pond requires repairs to halt movement, and permit dredging to project depth adjacent thereto, 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, 1943, was 25 feet. To. complete the proj- ect there remains the extension of the lower entrance breakwater, and the necessary alteration or replacement of structures due to deepen- ing of channels. For work performed with regular funds, the costs of the existing project were $4,984,616.12 for new work and $2,432,340.16 for mainte- nance, a total of $7,416,956.28. The total expenditures were $7,426,- 505.22. 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 $7,599,782.05 of which $5,167,441.89 was for new work and $2,432,340.16 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $7,609,330.99. 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.

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. Some portions of the dike have been entirely destroyed by storm action. The controlling depth in the channel is 12 feet, as shown by a survey completed in June 1943. The costs were $355,885.29 for new work and $447,677.09 for main- tenance, a total of $803,562.38. The total expenditures were $803,- 188.28.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1273 9. 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 harbor 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 corre- sponds 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.

July 25,1912 Deepening to 8 feet- ............ 1 Appropriation. 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.). Terminal 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 during fiscal year.-Preliminary work in connection with maintenance dredging was done at a cost of $4,570.70. The total expenditures during the year were $3,107.83. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project as a whole was 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 channel 200 feet wide and 8 feet deep was completed in 1915. The controlling depth in the channel in June 1943 was 6 feet below 1274 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 $260,905.06 for maintenance, a total of $344,710.42. The total expenditures were $393,405.24. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1943, $11,814.88, including accounts receivable at the end of the fiscal year, will be applied to maintenance as follows: Accounts payable------ $91. 02 Maintenance of buildings and U.

MANISTIQUE HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is on the north shore of Lake Michigan, about 135 miles northeasterly from Green Bay Harbor and 220 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 701.) 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 pilihng 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 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. 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: 1280 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1905 Breakwaters and outer harbor......---------------- H. Doc. No. 429, 58th Cong., 2d sess.

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 13,077 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $7,024.80. Placing 983 tons of stone as riprap along the east breakwater cost $2,799.80. Minor repairs to the east breakwater cost $1,849.48. All work was done by hired labor and use of Govern- ment plant. The total cost was $11,674.08 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $11,642.80. 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 17.3 feet in the channel through the outer basin to the river mouth, thence 17.2 feet in river to about 350 feet above the car-ferry slip, decreasing to about 15 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 $139,278.95 for maintenance, a total of $446,531.13. The total expenditures were $446,869.74.

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. 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. 1282 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Ewisting 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 sguth pier repaired with rubble super- structure. 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 commodities. The city of Marinette has provided a public wharf. The facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, RIVERS AND -IARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1283 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.-Operations consisted of dredging 115,099 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $26,224.55 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $26,755.91. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1938. The entrance piers were completed in 1884 and are in generally good condition. The inner end of the south pier requires repairs. 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 21.5 feet in the channel to the Marinette municipal wharf. and 21 feet in the turning basin, except in the southerly 100 feet of the basin, where it shoals to about 13 feet along the extreme southerly limit. 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 $365,262.10 for maintenance, a total of $514,766.59. The total expenditures were $516,242.19. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended ($9,134.59), plus an allotment of $70,000 made during July 1943, a total of $79,134.59, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U.

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 proj- ects but including $70,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance for the en- tire project is $28,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 23, 1866 Outer channel and revetment at Grassy Island '_. Annual Report, 1867, p. 70.

Recomnmnded modifications 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:.-Fullycomplied with. 1290 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 222,000 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by.hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $36,864.43 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $38,172.92. 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 17 feet in the inner channel, includ- ing the turning basin at De Pere. The head of deep-water naviga- tion is at De Pere.

In addition $70,000 contributed funds were expended on new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended will be applied to maintenance dredging with the U. S. dipper dredge Kewaunee, July to September 1943. Dredging is required annually for maintenance of project dimen- sions of channel. The additional sum of $30,000 can be profitably ex- pended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1945, for maintenance operation of U. S. dipper dredge Kewaunee during the summer and fall of 1944.

FOX RIVER, WIS. Location.-This river rises in Columbia County, Wis., and flows in a northerly direction into Green Bay. Its length is about 176 miles. The Wolf River, physically the main river but by designation a tribu- tary of the Fox, rises in the central part of Forest County, Wis., and flows in a southerly direction about 220 miles into the Fox River 10 miles above Oshkosh. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 726 for Lake Winnebago and lower Fox River.) 1292 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Previous projects.-As provided by special act of July 7, 1870, and River and Harbor Act of June 10, 1872, the original project was modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1873./ The improvement of the Wisconsin River was abandoned in 1887 (Annual Report for 1887, p. 2096). For further details see page 1940 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1434 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for deepening and widening the channel of Fox River from De Pere, 7 miles above the mouth, to Portage, Wis., a total length of 156 miles, the depth between De Pere and Montello, 125 miles, to be 6 feet, with 9.6 feet in rock cut below De Pere lock and 7 feet in other rock cuts on the lower river below Menasha lock; and from Montello to Portage, 31 miles, the depth to be 4 feet; the width of channel from Lake Winnebago to Montello to be 100 feet, with necessary widening at bends; for the construction and reconstruction of 27 locks and 16 dams; for a concrete retaining wall at Kaukauna; for construction and maintenance of harbors having depths of 6 feet on Lake Winnebago; for widening Neenah Channel to 100 feet, with a 6-foot depth for a length of about 1 mile; and for dredging, snagging, and otherwise improving Wolf River from its mouth to New London, a distance of 47 miles, the depth to be 4 feet. All depths are referred to standard low water. Ordinary and extreme fluctuations of water level above and below mean stages on various parts of the improvement, due to floods and other causes, are about as follows: Ordinary fluctua- Extreme fluctua- tions tions Place Above Below Above Below mean mean mean mean stage stage stage stage Feet Feet Feet Feet Lower Fox River at De Pere Dam ---------- -- 1.0 1.4 2.5 4.0 Lake Winnebago- .1. _ - _ 2 1.3 2. 2 3.7 Upper Fox River at Berlin Dam_- 2. 7 1.4 5. 7 2. 0 Wolf River at New London__ 5.0 2. 6 8. 8 3. 0 The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1928, is $1,398,000 for the upper river and $635,000 for the lower river; total $2,033,000, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000 for the upper river if project dimensions are once fully obtained and $110,000 for the lower river; total, $130,000.

S. ARMY, 1943 Recommended modifications of project.-Legislation authorizing the abandonment of that pait 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. Operations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-Opera- tions consisted of taking soundings and making miscellaneous surveys at a cost of $281.21. Stone paving and other miscellaneous repairs and improvements to canal banks at the following localities: Left bank above De Pere lock; tail race below Kaukauna fourth lock; left bank below Kaukauna third lock; left bank at Cedars lock; right bank below Appleton second lock; left bank below Appleton first lock, cost $14,399.28. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost of maintenance was $14,680.49. Operating and care.-Operationsconsisted of making necessary repairs to locks, dams, canal banks, and lock houses, including repairs to upper portion of both lock walls, all hollow quoins and upper valve platform at Kaukauna fifth lock; rebuilding upper lock gates at Little Chute second lock, at a cost of $20,003.83. The locks and dams were operated and guarded in accordance with the existing project, and gages were read at a cost of $123,435.06. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost of operating and care was $143,438.89. The total cost of all work was $158,119.38. The total net expenditures were $157,101.17. 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: Fox River: Feet De Pere to 2 miles above mouth of Wolf River------------------- 6. 0 2 miles above mouth of Wolf River to Eureka lock ------------------ 4. 5 Eureka lock to Montello lock --------------------------------- 3. 0 Montello lock to Governor Bend lock---------------------------2. 5 Governor Bend lock to Portage lock---------------------------2. 0 Wolf River: Mouth to 1 mile below Partridge Crop Lake_ 4. 0 1 mile below Partridge Crop Lake to New London------------------ 2. 5 Harbors on Lake Winnebago ------------------------------------ 5. 5 The practicable drafts of vessels is about one-half foot less than the controlling depths and prevail throughout the year except when the rivers are frozen, usually from December 1 to April 1. 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1297 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 $3,451,690.69 for maintenance including $1,004,298.45 for operating and care, a total of $4,323,414.70. The total expenditures were $4,323,162.19. In addition, the sum of $3,- 795,495.53 (including $89,309.40 under previous projects) was ex- pended between July 5, 1884, and June 30, 1935, on the operating and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the perma- nent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the close of the fiscal year ($72,721.26) plus an allotment of $65,500 made during July 1943, a total of $138,221.26, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1943------------ ----------------- $1, 932. 10 Maintenance: Operation of U.

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 Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluc- tuations of water level are seasonal chanres of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, ana extreme fluctuations of a RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1299 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.-There were no opera- tions, costs, or expenditures at these harbors during the fiscal year. 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 and expenditures under the exist- ing project were $62,838.06 for new work and $333.87 for maintenance, a total of $63,171.93. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the close of the fiscal year, $828.07, will be transferred. No operations are contemplated during the fiscal year 1945.

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 basin 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 vicinity 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 Sturgeon Bay and thence 500 feet to the vicinity 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, 886 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 prevailing 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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1301 Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1873 Breakwaters 1 ------------------------------- _ H.

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, four 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 dutring fiscal year-New work.-Operations consisted of completing, by contract, the dredging to provide proj- ect depth of 22 feet in the final, middle section of the canal. A total of 247,869 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $59,269.27. Maintenance.-Repairsto the north and the south revetments, in- cluding reinforcing and rebuilding of the substructure where neces- sary, and backfilling, cost $63,558.96. Rebuilding 120 linear feet of the north revetment and providing concrete superstructure cost $14,- 936.14. Dredging 26,500 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth cost $8,085.63. All maintenance work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $145,850 of which $59,269.27 was for new work and $86,580.73 was for main- tenance. The total net expenditures were $188,444.64. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1942. 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 sec- tion of the canal was completed in 1940. Deepening and widening the middle section of the canal was completed in 1942. Pile revetments require repairs and backfilling. The entrance piers are in good condition. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 22 feet. The costs under the existing project were $725,303 for new work and $995,712.93 for maintenance, a total of $1,721,015.93. The total expenditures were $1,727,075.84. 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 per- manent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended including accounts receivable ($18,307.59), plus an allotment of $44,500 made during July 1943, a total of $62,807.59, will be applied as follows: 1302 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 completed 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 practically the entire area of the turning basin. The Ke- waunee 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 1308 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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, and have been provided with concrete superstructure; the pile revet- ment on north side of channel is also provided with concrete super- structure. 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 1935, is $85,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $7,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1871 Annual Report, 1871, p. 123 (as modi- South pier, 750 feet of north pier, and about 44 feet of north revetment.1 fled by the Chief of Engineers Feb. 27, 1897).

I Completed under previous projects Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied 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 47,000 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $9,302.51. Placing 991 tons of stone as riprap along the entrance piers cost $2,335.67. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $11,638.18 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $11,519.08. 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. 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 alequate for present and reasonably prospective commerce. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 19 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1309 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 $473,309.49 for maintenance, a total of $548,031.15. The total expenditures were $547,912.05.

S. ARMY, 1943 13. MANITOWOO 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 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 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 1942 is $507,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $19,500.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1311 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. TerminalZ acilities.-Besides three car-ferry slips there are two grain elevators, two shipbuilding yards, and several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, cement, and miscellaneous com- modities. 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-New work.-Operations consisted of completing the dredging to provide full project depth and width in the short section of the river channel between Eighth and Tenth Street bridges. A total of 3,500 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $985.86. Maintenance.-Dredging6,000 cubic yards of material for restora- tion of project depth in the entrance channel and river channel cost $1,842.38. Placing 1,986 tons of stone as riprap along the breakwaters cost $5,259.36. All work was done by hired labor and use of Govern- ment plant. The total cost was $8,087.60, of which $985.86 was for new work and $7,101.74 was for maintenance. The total net expendi- tures were $8,834.09. Condition at end of fiscal year.---The existing project was about 87 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. Dredging of the river channel was completed in 1942. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project con- sists of dredging the approach channel in the outer harbor, which id not now desired by local interests. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 22 feet in the channel through the outer basin and 21 feet in the river to the second railway bridge. The costs under the existing project were $436,752.02 for new work and $506,211.82 for maintenance, a total of $942,963.84. The total expenditures were $943,501.97.

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, 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1313 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 1 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The 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.

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 53,000 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $9,162.16. Placing 983 tons of stone as riprap along the north breakwater and south pier, cost $2,440.55. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $11,602.71 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $11,561.88. 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 1314 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 $549,312.13 for maintenance, a total of $995,873.45. The total expendi- tures were $996,083.51.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1315 15. PORT WASHINGTON HARBOR, VqIS. 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.) Previows 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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July 11, 1870 North pier and south basin 1 ... . ..__I _. -_- __ H. Ex. Doe.

ARMY, 194a with warehouse which is open to public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 4,500 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $1,486.68. Placing 983 tons of stone as riprap along the north breakwater cost $2,798.31. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $4,284.99 for mainte- nance. The total net expenditures were $4,234.35. 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, was 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 accordance 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 18.5 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.

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 1318 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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.

No. 289, 72d Cong., 1st sess. depth. (Contains latest published map.) 1Completed under previous projects. Recommended mbdifleations 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 proj- ect limit at the inner ends of the entrance piers to the North Hum- boldt 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 RIVERS AND IARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1319 covering the dredgidfg was executed by the Secretary of War February 23, 1934, 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, petroleum products, and miscellane- ous commodities. There is also a shipbuilding yard. As these facili- ties in the inner harbor are considered inadequate for existing com- merce, the Milwaukee Harbor Commission is engaged in building an outer harbor. Operations and results during fscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 20,500 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $4,769.39. Placing 2,966 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater cost $7,924.83. Repairs to concrete super- structure on the north breakwater and inner entrance piers cost $7,878.93. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $20,573.15 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $19,768.30. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of August 30, 1935, was completed in 1934. No work has been done on deepening the outer harbor frontage to 21 feet north of the inner-entrance piers. The north 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 additional riprap and repairing about 756 feet damaged by a storm of October 22-23, 1929. Rebuilding the dam- aged section of the breakwater and the placing of additional riprap was completed in 1932. The south shore connection was completed in 1928. Dredging operations 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. 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, and require repairs. The south breakwater 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, $819,813.21 for maintenance, a total of $5,357,625.41. The total expenditures were $5.358,429.48.

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.) Previousprojects.-The original project was adopted by the citizens of Racine about 1842 or 1843. The citizens' project was modified 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-filed 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 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 $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. 1322 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

(Con- outer basin and channel in river., tains latest published map.) Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of May 19, 1942, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide that the channel dredging in Root River shall terminate at a point about 195 feet below the north line of Bridge Street extended, thus reducing the estimated cost for new work by $2,100, all other provisions of the existing project to remain as at present (H. Doc. No. 816, 77th Cong., 2d sess.). Under date of April 14, 1943, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to provide for deepening the outer basin from about 400 feet west of the entrance to about 750 feet west of the outer end of the north stub pier, and for dredging along the south side of the basin in the outer harbor to increase its width from 825 to 1,000 feet, the depths to be 21 feet, at an estimated initial cost of $47,000 with annual maintenance ofil,000 in addition to that now required (H. Doc. No. 255, 78th Cong., 1st sess.). 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 dredge vessel berths to a depth sufficient for full utilization of the proposed Federal improvement and that they will provide and main- 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 wharves used for handling coal and fish. While these facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, a suitable public wharf open to all on equal terms should be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 53,500 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the entrance channel at a cost of $10,300.65. Dredging done during the previous fiscal year involved a cost of $26.25. Placing 983 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater, in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, was completed and an additional 1,003 tons were placed at a cost of $3,245.08. Repairs to concrete superstructure on the north breakwater were made at a cost of $20,- 171.91. All work was done by hired labor'and use of Government plant. The total cost was $33,743.89 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $34,444.71. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The entire existing project was about 90 percent completed. No work has been done on the last modi- RIVERS AND IHARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1323 fication of the project providing for removal of shoals, widening channel through outer basin, and dredging the river channel. The project in effect prior to the modification 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. The concrete superstructure on north breakwater and shore connection is disintegrating and requires re- pairs. The south breakwater 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 15.5 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 $370,422.74 for maintenance, a total of $1,023,442.78. The total expenditures were $1,036,850.39.

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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1325 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 timber cribs; the piers are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling. The entire north pier, 1,175 feet of the south pier, and the entire breakwater are capped with concrete superstructure. The inner 697 feet of the south pier has been provided with a steel sheet pile face. 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 1/2 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 anrifual cost of maintenance is $9,000.

Terminal facilities.-There are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities, and also sev- eral fishing waters. While these facilities are considered generally adequate for existing commerce, more efficient use of existing termi- nals and utilization of available frontage for development of addi- tional terminals should be made. Operations and results during flscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 27,687 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $10,574.86. Dredging done during the previous fiscal year involved a cost of $153.13. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $10,727.99 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $10,566.11. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1936. The north pier was completed in 1895, the south pier in 1900, the breakwater in 1909, and the dredging in 1936. The piers and breakwater are in good condition.

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 4,1836, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866; March 3, 1875; June 14, 1880; and July 13, RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1327 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 stone-filled timber cribs and piling, capped with concrete 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- 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. Doe. No. 129, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). 1328 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.---There are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, petroleum products, and miscellaneous com- modities and three shipbuilding yards. A package-freight terminal is also available for use. While these facilities are generally ade- quate 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 65,859 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $14,683.32. The total net expenditures were $14,697.73. 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 good condition. 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 16.9 feet in Benton Harbor Canal to Ninth Street. The costs under the existing project were $366,683.16 for new work and $756,329.67 for maintenance, a total of $1,123,012.83. The total ex- penditures were $1,122,879.26. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended ($1,565.09), plus an allotment of $13,500 made during July 1943, a total of $15,065.09, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1943-__ $133. 57 Maintenance: Operation of U.

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 stone filled 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 11/2 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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1330 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 51,632 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth at a cost of $11,022.54. Preliminary work preparatory to rebuilding substructure and placing new concrete superstructure on 156 linear.feet of the south revetment cost $239.60. Placing 991 tons of stone as riprap along the piers cost $2,510.29. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $13,772.43 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $13,731.62. 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 generally good condition. The south revetment requires repairs. The controlling depths at low- water 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 project were $204,047.38 for new work and $562,506.31 for maintenance, a total of $766,553.69. The total expenditures were $766,404.48. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended ($17,556.24), plus an allotment of $11,000 made during July 1943, a total of $28,556.24, will be applied as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1331 Accounts payable June 30, 1943 _ _-------------------------------- $149. 21 Maintenance: Operation of U.

Location.-Located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 90 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 22 miles north- erly from South Haven. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 76.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 25, 1868, and modified by the River and Har- bor Act of July 11, 1870. For further details see page 1947 of An- nual Report for 1915, and page 1475 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel between parallel piers, 200 feet apart, having lengths of 2,778 and 2,514 feet for the north and south piers, respectively, and for a channel 16 feet deep and 100 feet wide, extending from that depth in Lake Michigan to the mouth of the river, thence 14 feet deep, 90 feet wide, in the Kalamazoo River up to Saugatuck, a distance of 9,000 feet. The piers are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling and are capped with concrete except for the inner 276 feet of the north revetment. 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 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 estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1910, was $286,000, exclusive of the amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $9,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 3,1896 Entrance channel, piers, and revetments .------- H. Doe.

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). Previous 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 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 1/4 miles long to the car-ferry slip, with an enlargement at the upper end; thence 21 feet deep and 200 feet wide and 14 miles long from the car-ferry slip to the Grand RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1337 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 141/2 miles long to Bass River, the total length of river channel being about 171/ miles. The piers and revetments are built of stone-filled 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 wijd and barometric pres- sure, of about 1/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time.

Recommended nodifications of project.--Under date of February 27, 1940, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the ex- isting project 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.). Terminal failities.-Besides a car-ferry slip, there are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, petroleum pro- ducts, fish, and miscellaneous commodities. The car-ferry slip is not in use at present. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce, except that there should be a public wharf in Grand Haven for transfer between rail and water. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 89,087 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, below the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, at a cost of $25,135.50. Dredging 116,148 cubic yards of material for restoration of project 1338 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 depth in the river above the Grand Trunk Railway bridge cost $12,769.58. Dredging done during the previous fiscal year, below the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, involved a cost of $58.42. Placing 1,934 tons of stone as riprap and fill along the north and south piers cost $6,131.70. All work was done by hired labor and use of Govern- ment plant. The total cost was $44,095.20 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $47,989.13. 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 except that the south revetment and the north pier require repairs. 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 $1,744,923.51 for maintenance, a total of $2,492,647.98, The total expenditures were $2,495,574.04. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, including accounts receivable, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U.

MUSKEGON HARBOR, MICH. Location.--This harbor is on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 114 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 80 miles easterly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 767.) Previous projects.-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 1340 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 breakwater and shore connection are built of concrete caissons and piling capped with con- crete; the north breakwater is a rubble mound; the inner piers and revetments are built of stone-filled 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 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 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.

Termninal facilities.-The main terminals are at the city of Mus- kegon, at the inner end of Muskegon Lake, and include a car-ferry slip, a large privately owned wharf equipped with warehouse, transit shed, and cold-storage plant, and several wharves used for handling coal, petroleum products, building materials, and miscellaneous com- modities. 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 35,137 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $6,028.51. Placing 991 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater cost $2,661. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $8,689.51 for main- tenance. The total net expenditures were $9,016.75. Condition at end of fiscal 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 re- moval 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1341 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 23 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 $490,941.09 for maintenance, a total of $2,391,863.16. The total expenditures were $2,392,347.23. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended ($9,239.26), plus an allotment of $11,000 made during July 1943, a total of $20,239.26, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1943--------------------------------- $1. 00 Maintenance: Operation of U.

(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 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 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. 1346 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 35,857 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $7,987.60. Placing 982 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater cost $2,038.31. Preliminary work preparatory to placing additional stone for riprap cost $590.50. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. ,The total cost was $10,616.41 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $9,835.85. 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 26 feet at harbor entrance, thence decreasing through the outer basin to 21 feet ut lakeward end of the inner piers and thence 20.4 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 $835,848.89 for maintenance, a total of $1,871,934.82. The total ex- penditures were $1,871,419.37.

Lake Survey Chart No. 776.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1867; June 10, 1872; March 3, 1873; March 3, 1875; August 14, 1876; September 19, 1890; July 13, 1892; March 2, 1907; and June 25, 1910. 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 barometri'c 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 1934, is $500.000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of June 19, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing 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 revetment, and for widen- ing 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.). RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1349 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.-Operations consisted of dredging 30,460 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $12,827.53. Placing 1,017 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater and north pier cost $3,706.60. Removing 350 linear feet of old timber crib north revetment and replacing with wood round and sheet pile revetment with concrete superstructure, in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, was completed at a cost of $43,306.12. All work was done bjr hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $59,840.25 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $54,790.91. 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 $667,039.69 for maintenance, a total of $1,151,022.55. The total expenditures were $1,151,428.57. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended including accounts receivable ($677.58), plus an allotment of $14,000, made during July 1943, a total of $14,677.58, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U.

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. 705.) 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 constructing, by contract, about 365 linear feet of stone mound in RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1355 extension of the south shore connection at a total cost of $10,921.27 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $10,927.23. 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 10.2 feet at entrance, reducing thence to 3.7 feet at the inner end of the channel through outer harbor, and 2.3 feet in river to the dam. The costs under the existing project are $64,181.34 for new work and $16,894.60 for maintenance, a total of $81,075.94. The total expen- ditures were $81,074.41. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended $2,425.59 will be applied to payment of $1.53 accounts payable, $600 will be transferred and the remainder will be applied to maintenance operations during the fiscal year. No additional operations are contemplated during the fiscal year 1945.

CHARLEVOIX HARBOR, MICH. Location.-On the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 276 miles northeasterly ffom Chicago and about 75 miles northerly from Frankfort. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 789.) Ewisting project.-This provides for a channel 18 feet deep from 1356 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 that depth in Lake Michigan to that depth in Lake Charlevoix pro- tected where needed by piers and revetments. The piers at the en- trance are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and rubblestone, being 781 feet and 452 feet in length on north and south sides, respectively. The entire south pier and the outer 303 feet of the north pier have been provided with concrete superstructure. The revetments are built of piling and are capped with concrete. 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 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 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938 was $95,500. The latest (1938) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $8,500.

Terminal facilities.-These consist of several small landing places in Round Lake at Charlevoix used for handling fish and miscellane- ous commodities. The city of Charlevoix has provided a public wharf south of the inner end of the lower south revetment. A wharf for receipt of petroleum products is located on the west end of Lake Charlevoix. There is also a coal wharf at Boyne City at the inner end of Lake Charlevoix. The city of Boyne City has provided a public wharf for small craft. These facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 16,512 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $3,456.54. Repairing substructure and rebuilding super- structure, in concrete, on 452 linear feet of the south pier and 303 linear feet of the north pier, which was in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, was completed at a cost of $26,542.94. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $29,999.48 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $23,484.04. SCondition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. .The north pier and revetment of the lower channel was completed in 1880, and the south pier and revetment in 1889. The revetments of the upper channel were completed in 1885, and the RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1357 dredging of both channels in 1939. The piers and revetments of the lower channel are in generally good condition. The south revetment of the upper channel is in good condition. The north revetment of the upper channel has been removed, a portion being removed in 1928 and the remainder in 1930. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 18.6 feet in the lower channel to Round Lake and 18 feet in the upper channel to Lake Charle- voix. The costs and expenditures under the existing project were $82,223.04 for new work and $380,261.13 for maintenance, a total of $462,484.17. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1943 ----------------------------------- $160. 14 Maintenance: Operation of U.

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.) Previos 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 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 1942, is $546,750, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, and excluding $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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1363 Acts Work authorized Documents June 14,1880 Parallel piers and basin 1 -_____ _____ Annual Report, 1880, p. 1942.

(contains the inner basin. latest published map). 1 Completed under previous projects. Recommended modifications 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 cooperation.-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 Secre- tary 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 fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys, etc., were made at a total cost of $1,330.35, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,340.84. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was 98 per- cent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the pro- ject 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 18 feet in the entrance channel to the outer end of the south pier and 18 feet in the remaining portion of the en- trance channel and basin. Depths are based on soundings taken in May 1943, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean-water level in June 1943 was 2.50 feet above datum. The total cost was $1,367,054.90, of which $536,757.92 was for new work and $830,296.98 for maintenance. Total expenditures werg $1,367,054.76. 1364 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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: RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1365 (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: Acts Work authorized Documents July 11, 1870 Inner breakwaters and inner basin .......------------- H. Ex. Doc.

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 municipal pier is available to commercial navigation to a limited extent. 1366 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 The outer harbor facilities are not entirely adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys, etc., were made at a cost of $11,351.88. Preliminary costs for dredging the entrance channel from Michigan Avenue Bridge lakeward were $316.97. The total cost was $11,668.85, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $10,565.67. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1923. The entrance to Chicago River has been improved by the construction of parallel entrance piers and dredging a channel 190 to 470 feet in width to a depth of 21 feet below datum. The northerly arm of the inner breakwater (timber, 4,034 feet, with 304-foot shore return on north end, completed in 1874; concrete superstructure com- pleted in 1934) is in good condition. The southerly arm (timber, 2,544 feet, completed in 1880; concrete superstructure completed in 1930) is in good condition. The exterior breakwater (timber 5,418 feet, com- pleted in 1889, concrete superstructure completed in 1930) is in good condition. The southerly extension (rubble mound, 2,227 feet, com- pleted 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. The north pier (concrete superstructure 975 feet, com- pleted in 1908) is in good condition. The controlling depth from the westward end of the lock near the mouth of the Chicago River to the Michigan Avenue Bridge is 21 feet. Depths are based on soundings taken in March 1943, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean- water level in June 1943 was 2.50 feet above datum. The total cost was $5,278,207.14, of which $3,409,844.22 was for new work and $1,868,362.92 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $5,277,093.43.

CHICAGO RIVER, ILL. Location.-Cook and Lake Counties, Ill., the navigable portions being wholly in Cook County and the city of Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 752.) For description see page 1467 of An- nual 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 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 carried on at a cost of $7,307.18. The costs in connection with preliminary work for dredging the main river, North Branch, North Branch Canal, and North Branch Turning Basin were reduced $1,030.76. The total cost was $6,276.42, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $6,769.46. Condition a 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, 17 feet. Depths in the turning basin vary from 22 to 16 feet, to within 80 feet of the docks, decreasing to about 10 feet at the docks. Depths are based upon sound- ings taken in March 1943, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean-water level in June 1943 was 2.50 feet above datum. The heads of navigation for deep-draft vessels are Belmont Avenue on the North Branch and Leavitt Street on the West Fork of the South Branch, 5.97 and 5.52 miles, respectively, from the Michigan Avenue Bridge. The total cost was $1,411,911.97, of which $544,678.70 was for new work and $867,233.27 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $1,411,737.42.

CALUMET HARIBOR AND RIVER, ILL. AND IND. Location.-Northeastern Illinois (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 southerly 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- 1370 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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, 1870, 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. Existig 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 Onie 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. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, 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 1942, is $8,200,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $125,000.

I Included in Public Works Administration program Sept. 6, 1933, and Dec. 16, 1933. 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 breakwvater, 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 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. The Republic Steel Corporation has dredged a new turning basin on the east side of the Calumet River just north of One Hundred Twenty-Second Street, to replace the original turning basin No. 3, and has constructed a bulkhead along the channel side of the original basin No. 3i and reclaimed the area to provide land for plant expan- sion. Local interests have not yet conveyed to the United States the land required for maintenance dredging in the new basin. The cor- poration has also built a bulkhead along two portions of the east side of the river between a point opposite the Semet Solvay slip and the new turning basin No. 3, and has widened and deepened the east side of the Rock Section between the United States east channel line 1372 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, _U. S. ARMYY, 1943 and its bulkhead. Negotiations are in progress with local interests to grant an easement to the United States for the necessary land for widening and deepening two portions of the east side of the river between the south end of the rock section and turning basin No. 3, mile 4.7. 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 50,500 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 duwing fiscal year--New work.-Prelimi- nary work in connection with dredging between the south end of the rock section and turning basin No. 3 cost $2,795.94. A total of 12,568 cubic yards of material was removed, by contract, at a cost of $7,617.21, which includes $1,415.26 for the removal of solid rock. Maintenance.-Miscellaneous surveys, etc., were carried on at a cost of $7,203.85. Preliminary work in connection with dredging en- trance channel and portion of the Calumet River was completed at a cost of $2.72. A total of 118,915 cubic yards of material was re- moved, by contract, at a cost of $62,664.98. The total cost was $80,284.70, of which $10,413.15 was for new work and $69,871.55 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $638,277.24. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 68 per- cent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the construction of turning basins Nos. 2 and 4, dredging portions of the outer harbor, and deepening, widening, and straighten- ing the Calumet River. The timber breakwater (6,712 feet, com- pleted 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. Under permit from the Secretary of War, the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. and its pred- ecessors have removed all the south pier (completed in 1897) and replaced it with a concrete dock wall 2,961 feet in length and 50 feet southerly of the pier's original location. Under permits from the Department, the Defense Plant Corporation has built two sections of bulkhead on the east side of the river between a point opposite the Semet Solvay slip and the new turning basin No. 3 at mile 4.7, and has requested the United States tor widen and deepen the channel adjoining the new bulkhead. Depths in the entrance channel vary RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1373 from 28 to 22 feet. The controlling depth in the river is 19 feet up to and including turning basin No. 5, at the head of the project. Depths are basqd on soundings completed in February 1943, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean-water level in June 1943 was 2.50 feet above datum. The head of navigation for deep-draft vessels in the river is at turning basin No. 5 at the entrance to Lake Calumet. Dredging in the outer harbor has produced the project depth of 26 feet over an area of 700 acres. This work is about 80 percent complete. Depths in the portions to be dredged vary from 2 to 25 feet. The total cost, all funds, was $7,969,760.99, of which $2,545,431.22 regular funds and $3,036,603.05 Public Works funds, a total of $5,582,034.27 was for new work and $2,387,726.72 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $7,951,765.94, including $3,036,603.05 Public Works funds.

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) Dredgirig 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1375 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. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1942 is $4,204,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $53,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 Outer harbor and maintenance of inner harbor H. Doc.

Recomlm ended modifications of project.-See modification recom- mended for the project "Illinois waterway," page 1381. Local cooperation.-The act of August 26, 1937, provides that the enlargement of the Indiana Harbor Canal shall not be undertakeD 1376 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 until local interests have furnished a right-of-way 300 feet wide and have constructed substantial 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 tlhe north side 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 constructed about 1,350 feet of bulkhead along the east side of the Calumet River branch, and have reconstructed the bulkhead on the west side from the Forks to One Hundred and Forty-first Street. The Defense Plant Corporation has built a bulkhead along the east side of the canal between the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.'s bridge and Dickey Place bridge, and has conveyed the necessary land to the United States for widening and deepening the east side of this portion of the canal. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.- -There is now in existence about 22,500 feet of wharfage along the main canal and its branches. Of this amount, about 18,500 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 the above wharfage on the east side of the Calumet River Branch, and about 2,100 feet on the west side of the channel are used as oil terminals. The wharves now in use are fully equipped and are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year--New wvork.-Preliminary work in connection with dredging main canal between Pennsylvania Railroad bridge and Dickey Bridge was carried on at a cost of $33.27. A total of 57,730 cubic yards of material was removed, by contract, at a cost of $34,088.83. Maintenance.-Miscellaneous surveys cost $1,865.89. A total of 400,203 cubic yards, scow measurement, was removed, by contract, at a cost of $233,635.26. The total cost was $269,623.25, of which $34,122.10 was for new work and $235,501.15 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $208,362.62. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 86 percent complete. 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 a point 1,200 feet south of 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, RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1377 completed in 1922) is in good condition. The east breakwater (con- crete caisson, 1,507 feet, comipleted in 1926) and northerly extension (rubble mound, 2,324 feet, completed in 1935) are in good condition. Under a permit from the Department, the Defense Plant Corporation has constructed a bulkhead on the east side of the canal between the Pennsylvania Railroad 0 "dge and Dickey Place Bridge and .has re- quested the United States to widen and deepen the channel adjoining the bulkhead. 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; between the bulkheads of the steel com- panies to the five bridges, 24 feet with 23 feet at the five bridges; from the five bridges to the turning basin at the Forks, 20.5 feet; 20 feet in the turning basin; from the turning basin to a point about 1,300 feet south in the Calumet River Branch, 19 feet; from that point to the One Hundred and Forty-first Street Bridge, from 18 to 2 feet, re- spectively; and from the turning basin to 1,000 feet above the Indian- apolis Boulevard Bridge, on the Lake George Branch, 20 feet. Depths in the outer entrance channel 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 completed in February, 1943. Depths are referred to low- water datum. The mean level in June 1943 was 2.50 feet above datum. The head of navigation for commercial vessels is at the Baltimore & Ohio Chicago terminal railroad bridge on the Lake George Branch, about 3 miles from the outer harbor, and at a point about 1,900 feet from the Forks on the Calumet River Branch, about 2.5 miles from the outer harbor. The total cost, all funds, was $4,649,522, of which $2,007,471.26 regular funds and $1,618,044.49 Public Works funds, a total of $3,625,- 515.75 was for new work and $1,024,006.25 for maintenance.

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 projects.-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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1379 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 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 -in- frequent 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.

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, etc., were made at a total cost of $75.10, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $271.25.. 1380 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in December 1936. Concrete superstructure, 1,304 feet, on the de- tached breakwater was completed in 1925, 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 p)ermittee to 18 feet. Depths in the entrance channel up to the Franklin Street Bridge vary from 22 to 18 feet. Between the Franklin Street Bridge and the turning basin at the head of the project, the depths vary from 17 to 8.6 feet, in a channel about 40 feet wide, except in the draws of the Michigan Central Railroad Co.'s bridge, where the depths are about 8 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 re- maining portion of the basin are too shallow for small craft. Avail- able anchorage depths in the outer basin exceed 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 1942; depths in the outer basin are based upon soundings taken during May 1942 and are referred to low-water datum. The mean-water level in June 1943 was 2.50 feet 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 $2,348,083.21, of which $1,212,385.20 was for new work and $1,135,698.01 for maintenance.

ILLINOIS WATERWAY, ILL. 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 Grafton, Ill., about 38 miles above St. Louis. The Illinois waterway comprises the Illinois River from its mouth to the confluence of the Kankakee and Des Plaines Rivers, a distance of 273 miles; the Des Plaines River to Lockport, a distance of 18.1 miles, and the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the south branch of the Chicago River to Lake Street, Chicago, a distance of 34.5 miles. Also from 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. 3, 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 construc- tion 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 Chan- neJ, a distance of 16.2 miles, with three passing places 9 feet deep and 150 feet wide. The project also provides for a channel 9 feet deep and 300 feet wide in Calumet and Little Calumet Rivers, from turning basin No. 5 to the eastern end of the Sag Channel, a dis- tance of 7.6 miles, with the realinement of the navigation channel from One Hundred and Thirtieth Street on the Calumet River in Chicago, Ill., to One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Street on the Little Calumet River in Burnham, Ill., and the abandonment and discontinuance of that portion of the natural Calumet River bypassed by the realined 1382 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 channel, and for dredging at the entrance and to the south end of Lake Calumet to a depth of 21 feet. 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. The estimate is exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for the operation and care of lock and dams is $350,000 annually, and for channel maintenance $448,000 annually. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Jan. 21, 1927 Channel 9 feet deep and 200 feet wide from mouth Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. of Illinois River to Utica, 231 miles; modifica- No. 4, 69th Cong., 1st sess., and S. tion of the 2 United States locks and dams, re- Doc.

S, ARMY, 1943 Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of January 18, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommeided modification of the exist- ing 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.). Under date of September 30, 1941, the Chief of Engineers submitted estimates representing the damages to levees and drainage districts by seepage, backwater, and other factors caused by prosecution of existing projects on the Illinois River (1H. Doc. No. 711, 77th Cong., 2d sess.). Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, modified the existing project subject to the condition that the State of Illinois transfer to the United States without cost all rights and titles in the two State-owned dams on the Illinois River, and that local interests furnish the United States without cost all 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 drqdged 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 toad and Marseilles Canal, to make the necessary talterations 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 RIVERS AND IHARBORS---CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1387 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. Doe. No. 126, 71st Cong., 2d sess.). The State of Illinois appropriated $20,000,000 for the construction of a waterway providing minimum 8-foot depths in channels not less than 150 feet wide, from the upper end of the Federal project on the Illinois River to Lockport. The lock and dam at Starved Rock was about 95 percent complete, the Marseilles Lock was about 95 percent, the Marseilles 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 less 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 where grain can be loaded directly into barges. Private coal-loading terminals are lo- cated at Havana, Liverpool, and Copperas 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 Kingston Lake, Chillicothe, Ottawa, and Joliet. A barge-construction yard and launching ways are located at Seneca. 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., Kedzie Avenue, and at California Avenue, Chicago; and a liquid industrial-chemicals 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 1388 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS~ ,U. ARMY, 19 43 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 Sag Channel. Plans for further terminals and docks between Grafton and Chicago are under way.

Existing project.-This project involves the construction of ap- proximately 3.3 miles of set-back levee along the river'front and the degrading of about 6,500 feet of existing levee to reduce flood heights at and above Beardstown, Ill., by widening and improving the flood- way of the Illinois River. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, being one of the projects included in authorization of levee set-backs and improvements to floodway between Beardstown, Ill., and mouth of the Illinois River, and is described in House Document No. 182, Seventy-second Congress, first session. This project joins the upper end of the South Beardstown and Valley Levee and Drainage District selected by the Chief of Engi- neers in accordance with the general authorization for the Upper Mississippi River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. When completed the two projects will form a continu- ous line of levee, affording protection to approximately 10,296 acres of highly productive farm land and improvements against recurrence of the maximum flood of record. The estimated cost, revised in 1940. is $208,500 for construction and $40,000 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. The expendi- tures were $44.34. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1941. The total cost and expenditures to June 30, 1943, were $171,838.88, all new work.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1417 The: project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lakes Superior and Huron, 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 33/4 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 1943, is $47,000,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1942) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, including $474,000 for operation and care of the locks, is $550,000. 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 cost $150,000, and authorized the diversion for this purpose of so much as might be necessary of the unexpended balance of appropriations for the Davis lock. 1418 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Dimensions of lock authorized were specified in the act as "about 800 feet long, 80 feet wide, and 30 feet deep." Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of May 17, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended a step-by-step recon- struction of the power facilities at St. Marys Falls. The first step should provide for the installation of approximately 14,OCO kilowatts in a new plant located north of the locks of St. Marys Falls, and for appurtenant facilities for the development, transmission, and sale of power. The estimated cost of this step is $3,500,0:0. 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 aproximately 45,000 kilowatts; at an estimated total cost of $10,000,000 for new work and $100,000 annually for mainte- nance and operation (H. Doc. No.:339, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1419 Terminal facilities.-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.

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 Lake 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 consistent 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS---DEROIT, MICH., 'DISTRICT 1425 season as much as 1.3 feet. During the past 32 navigation seasons the difference 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 mainte- nance of dredged channels is $33,500. No expense of maintenance will probably be required for submerged sills.

Recommended modifications of project.--Under date of April 29, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing 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. Doec. 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, 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 Burton removed material in the amount of 52,648 cubic yards, bin measure, from the Russell Island Shoal in the lower St. Clair River. Contract dredging on the Canadian side of the Southeast Bend was commenced August 24, 1942, and completed November 11, 1942. Material in the amount of 214,138 cubic yards, pay place meas- ure, was removed. Maintenance sweeping surveys of the Roberts Landing Shoal Channel at the foot of Lake Huron and the Marine City Shoal were completed during the period July to September 1942. Costs during the fiscal year were $147,400.57, all for maintenance. Total expenditures were $182,806.25. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project, exclusive of compensating works, was completed in 1937.

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. 1428 R~PORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS) U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 32 navigation seasons the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean level has been about 4.1 feet. Occasionally fluctua- tions 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.

Each year during the navigation season the river rises and falls about 2 feet as measured by the monthly mean levels. In the past 81 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1431 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.

Recommended modifieations of project.-Modification of the exist- ing project was recommended by the Chief of Engineers in a report requested by Rivers and Harbors Committee resolution adopted May 20, 1941, and transmitted to Congress by the Secretary of War August 4, 1943. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Within the limits of the port of Detroit are more than 8.4 linear miles of docks fronting on the river, and the 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-Mainte- nance.-The U. S. derrick boat Erie dredged rock areas to project grade in the Amherstburg Channel removing material in the amount of 845 cubic yards, scow measure, and cleared 19,555 square yards of channel to a depth of 21 feet during the period July 1942 to June 1943. The U. S. derrick boat Erie dred'ged shoals from the channel at the head of the river removing material in the amount of 669 cubic yards, scow measure, providing project depth of 25 feet during the period October 1942 to May 1943. The lower Detroit River rock channels were swept during July, August, and September 1942 and May and June 1943, and obstructions were removed by the U. S. derrick boat Erie during that period. The channel at the head of the river was 558155-44-pt. 1, vol. 2-- 25 1432 REPORT OF CHIIEF -OF E1GINEERS, U. S. ARIVIY, 1943 swept during October and November 1942, and completed in May 1943, and obstructions were removed by the U. S. derrick boat Erie during that period. The U. S. hopper dredge Burton worked the lower section of the Livingstone Channel removing 38,588 cubic yards, bin measure, during the period August 7 to 21, 1942. The costs during the fiscal year were $70,452.13, all for maintenance. The total expenditures were $70,258.31. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1941. The work done consists of dredging, rock excavation, and the construction of dikes for compensating works. The dikes, and com- pensating works are in good condition.

S. ARMY, 1943 5. 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 north- erly direction and into the south end of Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. .(See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Previous projects.-Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866, June 23, 1874, June 18, 1878, March 3, 1879, August 2, 1882, and August 5, 1886. For further details see page 1957 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1550 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep 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 turning 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 chan- nel between Court and Bristol Streets 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, was $2,657,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $81,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25,1910 Channel 200 feet wide, with depths of 18}4 feet in H. Doc.

Local cooperation.-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 Zilwaukee. Turning basins have been RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1435 constructed by the owners opposite the latter two docks. These ter- minal facilities are adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year--Maintenance.-Sound- ing surveys were made over the turning basin and the channel between Court Street and Bristol Street Bridges and in the channel at the mouth of the River during June 1943. The costs during the fiscal year were $4,756.78, all for maintenance. Total expenditures were $38,268.93. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in April 1942. Shoaling has resulted in a controlling depth of 13 feet in the turning basin. Shoaling has reduced the width of the 21-foot channel in the bay section to about 100 feet. The costs have been as follows: Regular funds: New work---------------------------------------------$2, 081, 579. 59 Maintenanqe - - 7--54---------507----------- 7540 507, 77 Total_------- 2, 836, 087.36 Total expenditures were -- ----------------------------- 2, 831, 549. 87 Proposed operations.-None.

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 di- rection 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 Railroad 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, decreasing to 75 feet for a distance of 4,800 feet at upper end; widening two bends to 100 feet, 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 upstream a distance of about 2,300 feet. 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) ap- proved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $9,000.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1437 Local coopleration.-The improvement authorized by the act of August 30, 1935, is subject to the requirement that local interests- 1. 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. ('Rem'ove 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 are privately owned and are restricted to the use of the owners. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Sounding surveys were made over the entire project during April and May 1943. The costs were $147.19 for maintenance, and total expenditures were $7,844.37. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All work except that authorized by the act of August 30, 1935, has been completed. Controlling depths over the project are as follows: 19 feet from the mouth of the Black River to Tenth Street over full width of channel; thence, 17 feet to the Grand Trunk Railroad bridge over full width of channel; thence, 13.5 feet to Port Huron Sulphite and Paper dock over full width of channel; thence, 5 feet to upper limit of project.

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.) 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. Eisting 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, flaring 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 412 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1439 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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 11, 1888 17-foot channel I -. --. _-- A.

No. 19, 72d Cong., 1st sess. 3 Including Emergency Relief Administration work authorized May 28, 1935. 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 guaran- ties protecting 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. Eight 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 4 docks owned by sand and gravel companies which have unloading machinery, one pulp- wood 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. Operations and results during fscal year-Maintenance.-United States hopper dredges operated over the entire project during the period July 2, 1942, to October 17, 1942, removing material in the amount of 297,230 cubic yards, bin measure. The costs were $69,- 109.41, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $69,550.58. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The 21-foot project via Short Cut Canal to upper limit of improvement was completed in 1923. The 1440 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 work consisted in dredging and in the 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 ihterests have complied with the requirements of local cooperation. The controlling depth in the 21-foot project is 21 feet for a minimum width over the center 125 feet of the Short Cut Canal and river to the turning basin with depths of 21 feet generally in the turning basin. The controlling depth in the old channel from its junction with the Short Cut Canal to the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad bridge is 17 feet, with project depths of 25 feet along the Hanna Furnace Co. dock. All bridges 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 determined by a fixed bridge about 2,600 feet above the upper end of the improvement. The costs have been as follows: Regular funds: New work ------------------------------------------ $561, 645. 86 Maintenance ----------------------------------------- 578, 786. 02 Total-------------------------------------------------1, 140, 431, 88 Emergency relief funds, new work----------------------------- 29, 515. 50 Total, all funds-------------------------------------- 1, 169, 947. 38 The expenditures have been as follows: Regular funds-------- ------------------------------- $1, 140, 235. 24 Emergency relief funds-- ----------------------------- 29, 515. 50 Total, all funds--------------------------------------1, 169, 750. 74 Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($72,696.60) will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1943------------------------------- $196. 64 Maintenance: Dredging by United States hopper dredge over entire project, 3 months, July to October 1943 ----------------------- 69, 499. 96 Sounding survey over the entire project ----------------- 3, 000. 00 Total--------------------------------------------- 72, 696. 60 Rouge River is used by deep-draft ore, stone, and oil carriers.

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 distance 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 irregu- larly 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, revised in 1935, is $1,200,000, including $300,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $35,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: 1442 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Terminal facilities.-At the city of Monroe are some small pri- vately owned docks and a municipally owned terminal. 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A sounding survey over the entire project was made in June 1943. The costs were $683.78 for maintenance. The expenditures were $508.05. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1936 except for the riprapping of the protecting dikes on each side of the channel, which is not considered necessary in the interests of navigation. The survey completed in June 1943 shows controlling depths as follows: 19 feet from Lake Erie to the Newton Steel Co. dock, thence 16.5 feet to the lower end of the turning basin, then 14 feet to the upper end of the 21-foot project, and 14 feet in the turning basin.

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 1444 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 Baltimore & 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 turn- ing 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 foundation 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. Ordinarily 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 harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1899 Auxiliary channel above Fassett St. Bridge, and HI. Doc.

(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 ship- ment 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 miscellaneous 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 unloaded free of charge, no storage being allowed. Terminal facilities are regarded as ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--United States hopper dredges operating over the project during the period July 6, 1942, to October 18, 1942, removed material in the amount of 597,766 cubic yards, bin measure. A field office was maintained for supervision of the harbor and miscellaneous services and inspections. The costs were $120,969.41 for maintenance and the expenditures were $120,184.55. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1936. Maintenance dredging has restored project depths generally over the entire project except that depths of about 16 feel; are available in the turning basin. Heavy shoaling usually results in a controlling RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1445 depth of about 23 feet over the 25-foot project by the close of the season.

It is from 200 to 300 feet wide. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 3.) Existing projeet.-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 inthe 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 chann6l to be 5,000 feet, extending from 2,100 feet outside the jetties up to tohe 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 Clin- ton and is open to the public. One shipyard does some buAiness in the building of small boats and launches. Terminal facilities are regarded as adequate for the needs of existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. There were no costs during the year. The expenditures were $214 for accounts payable. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1893. The work done consisted in the construction of two jetties, RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1447 completed in 1883, and in dredging a channel from the lake to the highway bridge, completed in 1893. The jetties have been repaired and are now in good condition. Project dimensions are available over the entire channel. The head of navigation for light-draft boats is about 12 miles above the mouth of the river. The costs have been as follows: Regular funds: New work and maintenance prior to 1894 (not separable) -- $71, 949. 86 Maintenance since 1894 ...--- 59, 633. 36 Total ---------------- 131, 583. 22 The expenditures have been as follows: Prior to 1894-------------- $71,949. 86 Since 1894---------------------------------------------------59, 630. 64 Total-- ------------------------------------ 131, 580. 50 Proposed operations.-Nowork is proposed for the fiscal years 1944 and 1945.

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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1451 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 6 for requirements. Local interests have signified their willingness to cooperate in the plan of improve- ment. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Preliminarystudies were in progress during the fiscal year. The costs and expenditures were $800 for new work. Condition at end of fscal year.-No construction work has been done. The costs and expenditures have been $800 for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1943, amounting to $5,800, will be applied to new work for the preparation of detailed plans and specifications. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945, in view of the existing Federal policies on wartime con- struction.

Lake Survey Chart No. 365.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 11, 1844; June 23, 1866; March 3, 1873; July 5, 1884; August 11, 1888; 1454 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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. Ordinarily 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 .

Recommended m odifications 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 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- RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1455 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- ,el are 12 private terminals for the handling of coal, stone, sand and gravel, fish, miscellaneous freight, and passengers. The city of San- dusky owns a pier and 2 small boat basins. The facilities are con- sidered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 8, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 56,881 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the channels and basin at a cost of $22,129.88 for maintenance. The expenditure was $22,974.18. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. The protecting works are generally in good condition. The jetty requires repairs where settlement has taken place. The control- ling depth in the channels and basin is 21 feet at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $3,324,057.06 of which $2,597,258.21, including $599,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $726,798.85 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,324,909.17 including $599,500 Public Works funds. In addition, $325,000 was expended from contributed' funds for new work.

Recommended modification of project.-Under date 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 re- quired; 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 and repairing the largest lake vessels. The city of Lorain owns a public dock without rafl connections which is open to the public. The facilities are regarded as adequate for existing com- merce. (See Lake Series No. 8, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 186,613 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the Black River channel and turning basin and the outer harbor at a cost of $61,377.71 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $61,444.55. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 95 percent completed. An outer harbor has been provided by con- 1462 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 structing breakwaters and pierheads completed in 1915, except the extension of the west breakwater to shore, which was completed in 1921. A channel through the buter harbor to the entrance to Black River was deepened to 25 feet in 1937, also a channel 16 feet deep to the municipal pier was provided in 1936. The entrance to the river has been improved by the construction of parallel piers completed in 1909. Rectification of two bends in the river channel and enlarge- ment of the turning basin was completed in 1934. The river channel and turning basin were deepened to project depths in 1937 and 1938. The work to be done to complete the project is the deepening of the remaining portion of the outer harbor. The harbor works are gen- erally in good condition except that the breakwaters require minor repairs. The controlling depths were 25 feet in the channel through the outer harbor and in the river channel to a point 2,200 feet from the outer ends of the pier, 24 feet 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 $3,076,179.75 of which $2,433,284.82 including $165,000 Public Works funds, was for new work and $642,894.93 including $76,300 Public Works funds, for maintenance.

ROCKY RIVER HARBOR, OHIO Location.-This harbor is located at the mouth of Rocky River, which empties into Lake Erie at a point 7 miles westerly from Cleve- land, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 35.) Existing project.-This provides for an east entrance pier 900 feet in length and an entrance channel 100 feet wide and 10 feet deep extending from that depth in the lake to a point 600 feet inside the inner end of the pier. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water level are from 3 feet above to zero, low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations produced by wind and other causes are from 4.5 feet above to 1 foot below that plane. - The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $81,600. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 558155-44-pt. 1, vol. 2---27 1464 REPORT OF CHIEFF OF EINGiINEERIS, U. S.

Y., DISTRICT 1465 Existing project.--This provides for the following:- (a) Outer harbor 5 miles long and 1,600 to 2,400 feet wide, enclosed by a breakwater system, comprising an east breakwater 21,270 feet long, with a pierhead at its easterly end. of which 3,300 feet is of timber-crib substructure with stone superstructure and 17,970 feet of rubble-mound construction, and a west breakwater connected with the shore, 6,048 feet long, of timber cribs with concrete superstructure with a gap of 201 feet about 662 feet from the shore end. (b) A rubble-mound spur breakwater 400 feet long to protect the gap in the west breakwater shore arm. (c) A main entrance 700 feet wide between arrowhead rubble- mound breakwaters extending 1,250 feet lakeward from the 850-foot opening between the main breakwaters, with timber-concrete pier- heads at their lakeward ends. (d) Two parallel stone-filled timber-crib piers with concrete super- structure, 325 feet apart, at the mouth of Cuyahoga River; the east pier 1,602 feet long and the west pier 1,440 feet long. (e)A depth of 19 feet, with provisional dredging to 23 feet, east- erly from a line drawn perpendicular to the east main breakwater, beginning 800 feet easterly from the westerly end thereof, and a depth of 25 feet westerly from that line. (f) An entrance channel, 25 feet deep, through the outer harbor and between the piers up to the New York Central swing bridge. (g) Maintaining the channels in Cuyahoga and Old Rivers to a depth of 21 feet and of such width as is practicable without d-edging closer than 40 feet to existing bulkheads except where necessary at bends, extending in Cuyahoga River from below the New. York Cen- tral bridge, the upstream limit of the 25-foot project, southward to a point about 2,000 feet upstream from the Clark Avenue viaduct, a distance of about 51/4 miles with a turning basin 18 feet deep about three-fourths of a mile below the project limit, and in Old River from its junction with the Cuyahoga River westward a distance of about 1 mile, and for the improvement to a depth of 21 feet of the channels described above by easing the bends and widening the channels, by dredging only, in specified areas. 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 3 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations produced by wind and other causes are from 4.5 feet above to 1 foot below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1942, is $6,497,500. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $175,000.

Recommended modifcations 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.) Further modification of the existing project was recommended by the Chief of Engineers in a report requested by Rivers and Harbors Committee resolution adopted June 17, 1941, and transmitted to Con- gress by the Secretary of War May 2, 1942. Local cooperation.-Wideningof the channels in the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers is subject to the conditions that local interests defray RIVERS AND HARBORS-BFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1467 all costs 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 parts of 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. Local cooperation for dredging all the cuts and the turning basin has been complied with and approved except for the remaining parts of cuts 1, 3, 4, and 5. All other conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are approximately 40 terminals for the handling of various types of cargoes, the most important of which are iron ore, steel products, coal, scrap, cement, sand and gravel, grain, petroleum products, and sulphur. In general, the terminals 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 Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Contract operations for widening the Cuyahoga River and enlarging the turn- ing basin were completed in 1942, 30,225 cubic yards of material and an old masonry canal lock were removed, and the cost for the year was $35,973.99. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 326.473 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the outer harbor and entrance channel at a cost of $86,346.42 and made minor repairs to the east breakwater at a cost of $3,668.90. Maintenance of Cuyahoga and Old Rivers was continued and 228,536 cubic yards of material were removed by contract at a cost of $116,409. The Cleve- land storehouse and reservation were policed at a cost of $13,378.14. The total cost for the year was $255,776.45, of which $35,973.99 was for new work and $219,802.46 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $291,406.23. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 97 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 30,000 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 breakwaters, com- pleted in 1908. The outer harbor was deepened, 1933 to 1935, to 25 feet at low-water datum throughout the west basin, in the entrance channel, and over a portion of the east basin adjacent to the entrance channel; over the remaining portion of the east basin a depth of 1468 REPORT OF CHIEF OF E ~"GI[NEERS, U. S. A;RMY, 1943 23 feet at low-water datum has generally been secured. Portions of the channel in Cuyahoga River were widened each year from 1939 to 1942. 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 shore arm were 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 breakwaters require some minor repairs. Widening of the remaining portions of the channel in the Cuyahoga River remains to be done to complete the project. The controlling depth in the main entrance channel, through the west basin, and between the piers was 25 feet and in the channel through the east basin, 23 feet. Depths elsewhere in the east basin within the project area range from 10 to 30 feet. The controlling depth in the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers was 21 feet, and in the turning basin, 18 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $10,148,536.06, of which $6,322,603.64, including $616,767.03 Public Works funds, was for new work and $3,825,932.42, including $125,000 Public Works funds, for maintenance. The total expenditure was $10,124,636.32, 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.) Preeious 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. Emistingq 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, connected with the shore; consisting of 825 feet of timber-crib substructure with stone superstructure and sea slope, 2,553 feet of rubble-mound construction, and 500 feet of cellular steel-sheet piling with con- crete caps, and an east breakwater 6,750 feet long, of rubble-mound construction. 1470 REPORT OF CHIEF OF EN'GIN'EERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 (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 ex- tending from the outer harbor a distance of 2,000 feet upstream from the outer end of the east river pier; thence of the same depth with a width of 150 feet to the angle in the ore terminal, a farther distance of 1,700 feet; and thence with a depth of 21 feet, and with widths varying from 200 to 100 feet for a distance of 4,000 feet to the end of the stone receiving terminal of the Diamond Alkali Co., with a turn- ing basin 18 feet deep, 760 feet long, and 400 feet wide about midway in this section. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary 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, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $27,000.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, requires local interests to contribute $304,000 toward the cost RIVERS ANI HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT' 1471 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, one sand and gravel 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.-Government plant and hired labor removed 339,472 cubic yards of material from the outer harbor and river channel for restoration of project depth at a cost of $81,670.96 for maintenance. The expenditure was $83,340.46. Condition at end of fscal 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 iipstream 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 except that the breakwaters require minor repairs. The total cost of the existing project was $3,167,853.81 of which $2,496,653.97 including $187,772.04 Public Works funds, was for new work and $671,199.84 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,170,448.88, including $187,772.04 Public Works funds.

ASHTABULA HARBOR, OHIO Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Ashtabula River, 59 miles easterly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 342.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of May 20, 1826; March 3, 1829; July 3, 1832; March 2, 1867; June 10, 1872; and March 3, 1881; and modified by the Secretary of War July 8, 1890. For further details see page 1963 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1593 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) An outer harbor about 185 acres in area protected by break- waters, the west breakwater 7,780 feet long, and the east breakwater 4,400 feet long, all of rubble-mound construction, except 430 feet of the west breakwater, which consists of timber-crib substructure and stone superstructure. (b) A west pierhead of timber-crib substructure and concrete superstructure. RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1473 (c) An east light foundation located 600 feet easterly from the west pierhead, consisting of a concrete superstructure founded on the outer end of the rubble-mound east breakwater. (d) The removal of 250 feet of the old inner east breakwater and of such additional length as may be necessary. (e) An entrance 28 feet deep between existing breakwaters 600 feet apart; thence a channel of 25-foot depth and 1,100-foot maximum bot- tom width through the outer harbor to the old inner east break- water; thence 24 feet deep to the mouth of Ashtabula River; thence a channel 24 feet deep with a bottom width of 160 feet to a point 2,000 feet upstream; thence a channel 18-feet deep (except where ledge rock may be encountered) with a bottom width of 160 feet, de- creasing 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 suit- ably widened at bends and in the turning basin, to the southerly end of the turning basin; also an approach channel 24 feet deep, with a minimum width of 250 feet from the 24-foot depth section of the outer harbor eastward to the New York Central Railroad Co.'s slip. (f) Maintenance to 21-foot depth of that portion of the outer har- bor between the deepened channel and a meridian line through the westerly angle of the east breakwater. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinarily 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 amnounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $18,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Act / Work authorized Documents June 3, 1896 Construction of breakwater - -. . Annual Report, 1895, p. 3122.

S. ARMY, 1943 Recommended modifications 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 during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 199,733 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depths in the outer harbor and river channel at a cost of $53,771.20 and made minor repairs to the west breakwater at a cost of $6,525.14. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $60,- 296.34. The expenditure was $54,335.89. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 90 percent completed. The west breakwater was completed in 1915 ex- cept 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. 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 point 2,000 feet upstream from its mouth were 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 $3,450,742.36, of which $2,854,004.24, including $536,648.38 Public Works funds, was for new work and $596,738.12 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,446,676.77 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.-This provides 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 superstruc- ture 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. (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 pierhead, 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 1942, is $3,805,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved, estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $11,500.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied 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 Conneaut owns a terminal on the outer harbor which is open to the public. The facilities are con- sidered 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 continued repairs to the west breakwater at a cost of $49,203.91 for the year, and removed 89,579 yards of material for res- toration of project depth in the outer harbor at a cost of $23,223.47. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $72,427.38. The total expenditure was $68,992.30. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 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, was extended shoreward 800 feet (completed 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 breakwater 925 feet lakeward, and removal of the lake arm of the west breakwater were completed in 1935; 642 feet of the old west breakwater 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 channel through the outer harbor was dredged to 20 feet in 1919 and deepened to 25 and 26 feet in 1938. Extensive repairs on the inner end of the west breakwater were in progress at the end of the year. The controlling depth in the channel through the outer harbor is 25 feet below low-water datum. 1478 REPORT OF CHIE' OF E .G[N'GNEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 $3,643,347.52, of which $3,267,838.96, including $1,010,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $375,508.56 for maintenance.

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. 558155-44-pt. 1, vol. 2--28 1480 REPORT OF CHIEF' OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 (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, ex- tending 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, exclusive 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: *Acts Work authorized Documents May 26, 1824 Breakwater and piers; dredging entrance channel; Annual Report, 1915, p. 1965. and brushwood protection of beach of Presque Isle Peninsula.'

RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1481 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 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 (HI. Doc. No. 116, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Further modification of the existing project was recommended by the Chief of Engineers in a report requested by Rivers and Harbors Committee resolution adopted October 13, 1941, and transmitted to Congress by the Secretary of War June 17, 1943. 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 handle petroleum products. The easterly group consists of one terminal for iron ore, one for petroleum, 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.-Contract operations for construction and repair of shore protection works on Presque Isle Peninsula were started in June 1943, and the cost for the year was $30,265.29. Government plant and hired labor removed 189,663 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the channels and basin at a cost of $52,284.58. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $82,549.87. The total expenditure was $54,686.86. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 91 percent completed. The breakwater and piers were completed in 1915, about 3,050' feet of rubble mound protection work on the peninsula was com- pleted in 1921, and about 5,281 feet of steel-sheet piling protection work with stone facing was completed in 1930. The 18-foot harbor basin was deepened in 1900. Widening and straightening of the en- trance 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. Construc- tion of 2,750 feet of rubble mound protection work, repair of steel- sheet piling protection work and the construction of two groins were in progress at the end of the year. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the dredg- ing 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 east- erly docks, and the conditional extension of the piers. 1482 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 as $2,165,202.61, of which $767,275.02 was for new work and $1,397,927.59 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $2,138,235.29. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the accounts receivable at the end of the year, $240,000 allotted in July 1943 and $148,500 contributed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1943------------------------------ $30, 265. 29 Maintenance: Construction of rubble mount protection work northeasterly of Kelso Groin, construction of 2 rubble mound groins and construction of stone facing and repair of the steel-sheet pile protection at beach No. 2, all on Presque Isle Peninsula, under existing contract, July to November 1943---------------------------- $707, 189. 71 Repair of steel-sheet pile protection just north of beach No. 2 on Presque Isle Peninsula, by con- tract, July to November 1943 ....----------------240, 000. 00 Survey lakeward of Presque Isle Peiinsula by Government plant, July and August 1943 and April and May 1944--------------------------12, 500. 00 Dredging channels and basin by United States hopper dredge, July 1943 and June 1944------- 29, 000. 00 Sweeping channels and basin and removing obstructions by Government plant, September 1943 and June 1944 ------------------------ 4,622. 24 993, 311.95 Total__ --------- 1, 023,1 577. 24 Total------------------- ------------------------ 1,2,57.4 Redredging and sweeping are required annually and a survey lake- ward of the peninsula should be made.

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.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed 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 and expenditure of the existing project was $496,- 015.39, of which $56,174.10 was for new work and $439,841.29 was for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed during fiscal year 1944. Dredging isrequired periodically. For this item of maintenance the sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended by Government plant during the fiscal year 1945.

RI.ERS ,AND IORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1487 Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of November 5, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide that- (a) The north entrance be deepened to 25 feet in earth and 26 feet in rock. (b) The Buffalo River Entrance Channel be deepened to 22 feet in earth and 23 feet in rock, the southern project limit to be 5 feet from the south pier with dredging limits 25 feet therefrom until such time as the south pier is rebuilt, and the northern project limit to be shifted from its present location to 40 feet from and parallel to the dock of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. (c) The Buffalo River and the Buffalo Ship canal be deepened and maintained to 22 feet in earth and 23 feet in rock to the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad bridge located just upstream of the Standard Oil Co. terminal and to the Lehigh Valley Railroad Canal respectively, with widths generally of 150 feet and 125 feet, respectively; dredging to be not closer than 25 feet from dock lines except at bends, and the rock ledge just above the Ohio Street Bridge be cut back approximately 13 feet. (d) The westerly project limit in the outer harbor be 150 feet from and parallel to the axes of the breakwaters. (e) The shallow undredged strip along the breakwater and the triangular area in the northwestern and northeastern portions, respectively, of the southern outer harbor area be dredged and maintained to a depth of 23 feet until such time as local interests meet prescribed local cooperation permitting dredging to the project depth of 25 feet; all at an estimated first cost for construction of $3,171,000 in addition to the amount required to complete the existing project, with $32,000 annually for maintenance thereafter, in addition to the amount now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 352, 78th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation.-Deepeningthe south portion of the harbor and the south entrance channel to 25 feet, and removal of the shoals in lake approach to a 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 conditions 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 public. The city of Buffalo owns two terminals and the State of New York owns two barge canal terminals. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 1, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) 1488 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Contract operations for removing two strips in the 23-foot project area of the outer harbor were completed in 1942; 442,345 cubic yards of material were removed during the fiscal year at a cost of $141,186.21. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 76,198 cubic yards of material from the outer harbor and Buffalo River en- trance channel at a cost of $35,719.44 and repaired the South and Stony Point breakwaters at a cost of $9,235.61. Maintenance of Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal by contract was continued and 236,542 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost for the year of $129,846.27. The total cost for the year was $315,987.53 of which $141,186.21 was for new work and $174,801.32 including $40,000 from contributed funds was maintenance. The total expenditure was $308,487.51, in- cluding $40,000 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 76 percent completed. 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 breakwater was completed in 1901, the old break- water in 1893, and the south pier in 1869. The 23-foot project area in the outer harbor and the north-end en- trance channel has been deepened to project depth except for strips 50 feet wide along the breakwater and the harbor line and 180 feet wide between the Saskatchewan Pool Terminal's and the Terminal's and Transportation Corporation's piers. Buffalo River entrance channel has been deepened to 21 feet. The harbor structures are generally in good condition except the concrete banquette on a part of the south pier. The controlling depth in the northerly part of the outer harbor is 23 feet and in the north and south entrance channels is 21 feet. Controlling depth in the Buf- falo River channel is 20 feet, and in the southerly portion of the outer harbor it is 21 feet, at low-water datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of the deepening of the 25-foot project area in the outer harbor and the remainder of the 23-foot project area and removing three small shoals on the direct approach to the south entrance. The total cost of the existing project, United States funds, was $5,043,231.09 of which $2,652,568.33 including $655,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $2,390,662..76 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $4,973,224.33 including $655,500 Public Works funds. In addition, there was a cost and expenditure of $290,000 from contributed funds for maintenance.

BLACK ROCK CHANNEL AND TONAWANDA HARBOR, N. Y. Locatio.-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 improve- ments formerly designated by three titles, viz, Lake Erie entrance to 1492 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGNEERS, U., S. ARMY, 1943 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 project for Black Rock Harbor and Channel was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1829. The original project for Tonawanda Harbor and Niagara River was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. For further details see items 5 and 7, page 1970, of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1612 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep from Buffalo Harbor, north entrance channel, to opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, total length 131/2 niiles, as follows: 400 feet wide to Erie Basin, Buffalo, a distance of 2,300 feet, suitably widened at the bend; thence 500 feet wide to the foot of Maryland Street, Buffalo, a distance of 2,190 feet; thence 350 feet wide, narrowing to 200 feet wide, 500 feet northwest; thence generally 200 feet wide through Black Rock Channel to the ship lock at the foot of Bridge Street, a distance of 3.3 miles, widened at the curve opposite the foot of Porter Avenue and at the angle immediately south of the 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 downstream end of the deep-water pool at the Tonawaiida waterworks intake crib, a distance of about 4.7 miles, widened to 500 feet opposite the Wickwire Spencer Steel Co.'s plant by the removal of 200 feet of the westerly end of Rattlesnake Island Shoal; thence 400 feet wide to the foot of Tona- wanda Island opposite Second Avenue, North Tonawanda, a distance of 5,000 feet, ending in a turning basin about 1,230 feet long and 1,250 feet wide extending to a point opposite Sixth Avenue. The project also provides for the removal of rock shoals from the Lake Erie entrance to the canal and in the canal south of Ferry Street Bridge, to a depth of 22 feet; for a channel 16 feet deep, 6,800 feet long, and generally 400 feet wide in Tonawanda Inner Harbor; for a chan- nel 16 feet deep, 1,400 feet long, and generally 180 feet wide in Tona- wanda 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 extension of the guide pier; and for the repair of the towpath wall. The project depth in the canal is referred to low-water datum in Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The project depth in the river is referred to the river surface when Lake Erie is at low-water datum. Ordinary fluctuations of water level above the lock are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations produced by winds and other causes are about 9 feet above to 31/2 feet below that plane. River fluctuations gradually decrease to about 70 percent of fluctuations above the rock when they reach North Tonawanda. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1941, is $9,144,000, exclusive of amounts; expended on previous projects. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $130,000, including $80,000 for operating and care. RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N.

Recommended modifications of project.-Modification of the ex- isting project for Black Rock Channel and Tonawanda Harbor, was 1494 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINIEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 recommended by the Chief of Engineers in a report requested by Rivers and Harbors Committee resolution adopted February 11, 1941, and transmitted to Congress by the Secretary of War June 15, 1942. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are no freight terminals along the channel 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 five terminals for petroleum products, two for iron ore and coal, three for coal, five for sand and gravel, one for lumber, one for wood pulp and paper and one for pulpwood, 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 removal 15,870 cubic yards of mate- rial from Black Rock Channel and Tonawanda turning basin at a cost of $21,052.82; removed 855 cubic yards of material from Tona- wanda Harbor at a cost of $1,652.56; and repaired the towpath wall and Squaw Island dike at a cost of $3,407.23. Contract operations for construction of a protective lighting system on Squaw Island dike were in progress and 83 percent completed at the end of the year at a cost of $8,015.50, and Squaw Island dike was policed at a cost of $20,269.28. Operating and care.-The lock was in continuous operation 276 days and in operation during the day only for 73 days. The lock was closed March 15 to 30, 1943,' inclusive, for underwater cleaning and repairs and the installation of intake valves in the upper guard gates. The Ferry Street Bridge was in continuous operation 275 days and in operation during the day only 90 days. The signal station at the foot of Genesee Street, Buffalo, N. Y., was maintained except from December 21, 1941, to March 31, 1942. The cost for the fiscal year was $208,787 including $19,208.70 for improvement and reconstruction and $92,930.83 for policing the lock, bridge, and Government reservation. The total cost for year was $263,184.39, of which $54,397.39 was for maintenance, and $208,787 for operating and care. The total expend- iture was $264,613.90. 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 except for removing rock shoals from Lake Erie to Ferry Street. The different sections of this channel were completed to project depth as follows: Lake Erie section in 1909; Black Rock Canal section in 1915; Niagara River section from lock to deep-water pool above T onawanda 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 RIVERS AND. THARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1495 Rattlesnake Island Shoal in 1928. Rock shoals extending above a depth of 21.4 feet were removed from the Lake Erie entrance to the canal and in the canal south of Ferry Street Bridge in 1937. The Tonawanida Creek Channel was completed in 1902. Tona- wanda Inner Harbor Channel was completed in 1904. The enlarge- ment of the Tonawanda turning basin and the extension of Bird Island pier were completed in 1936. The lock, including wing walls and retaining walls above the lock, was completed in 1914, and the 100-foot east-wing wall extension in 1927. The guide pier connecting with the west-lower-wing wall was completed in 1916, except 200-foot northerly extension and construction of concrete platform in the angle. The bridge at Ferry Street was completed in 1914 and the lock- operating houses in 1924. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of the improvement and extension of the guide pier, as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, and the completion of removing rock shoals from Black Rock Channel from Lake Erie to Ferry Street. Structures are all in good conditions 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 $9,587,223,36, of which $7,936,342.60, including $1,760,000 Emergency Relief funds was for new work, $903,815.86 for maintenance, and $747,064.90 for operating and care. The total expenditure was $9,586,373.59, 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.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1497 14. 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), Niagara Falls, N. Y. The project also provides for the construction of compensating works just above the contracted section of the river at Fort Erie, this work forming a part of the project for deeper channels in the 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 main- tenance is $9,000, of which $5,000 is for maintenance of the compen- sating works.

A;RMIY, 1943 Terminal facilities.--There are two terminals, one of which is oc- cupied by a builders supply company whose facilities, are open to shippers of commodities for which the facilities are suited. 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 obstructions at a cost of $2,155.28 for maintenance. The expenditure was minus $375.54. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 41 percent completed. The east channel from North Tonawanda to the Niagara Falls waterworks intake and Schlossers Channel from Niagara Falls waterworks intake to the foot of Hyde Park Boulevard were completed in 1934. The work remaining to be done is the construction of the compensating works just above the contracted section of the river at Fort Erie. The controlling depth in the channels is 11.8 feet at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $510,306.49, of which $463,- 386.62, including $94,512.24 Public Works funds, was for new work and $46,919.87 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $510,274.09 including $94,512.24 Public Works funds. In addition, $27,562.50 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the year, $3,517.21, will be applied to the accounts payable June 30, 1943, and sweeping the channel and removing obstructions by Government plant during July 1943 and June 1944. Sweeping and removing obstructions from the channel are required annually. The additional sum of $3,500 can be profitably expended for this maintenance work by Government plant during the fiscal year 1945.

OLCOTT HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-This 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. 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.) 1 Completed 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 dredging in the channel. The sum of $5,000 was contributed in 1928 by local interests toward the cost of replacing old timber superstruc- ture on west pier with concrete. Terminal facilities.-Thereis no commercial navigation. The facil- ities consist of private docks for pleasure boats. 1500 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, TJ. SS. ARMY, 1943 Operationsand results during fisval year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1918. 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 1944. The sum of $70,000 can be profitably expended for maintenance dur- ing the fiscal year 1945 for the repair of the pier by contract.

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 1508 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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. The conditions for construct- ing and operating a steam generating electric power plant and pro- viding facilities for preventing stagnation in the west basin have been complied with. Other conditions have not been complied with. Re- quirements 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, one for package freight, 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 the fiscal year--New work.-Closure of the gap in the west outer breakwater by Government plant and hired labor was completed in 1942 at a total cost of $81,264.72. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 49,086 cubic yards of material from the outer harbor and channels at a cost of $10,730.05. The total cost for the year was $91,994.77 of which $81.264.72 was for new work and $10,730.05 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $92,612.47. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 78 percent completed. The west outer breakwater was completed in 1882 and was originally 6,032 feet long with a 119-foot gap near the west- erly end but was reduced to 4,359 feet in 1931 and the gap was closed in 1942. The west arrowhead breakwater was completed in 1931 and the east arrowhead breakwater in 1932. The old lighthouse pier, a part of the west inner breakwater and the upper and lbwer 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. The channel in Oswego River was widened to the harbor lines in 1937. A channel 16 feet deep and 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 breakwaters are generally in good condition except that the west outer breakwater requires minor repairs. 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 and deepening the outer harbor west of the Lackawanna coal dock.

Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the clearing of Cayuga Creek channel from Park Boulevard in the vil- lage of Lancaster downstream to Penora Street in the village of 1516 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Depew, a distance of about 11/2 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 second, 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 6 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 results during fiscal year.--New work.-The prep- aration of detailed plans for the project was in progress at the end of the year. The cost for the year was $6,740.99. The expenditure was $4,213.90. Condition at end of fscal year.-Preliminary studies for construc- tion under the project were in progress at the end of the year. No construction work has been started. The total cost of the existing project was $6,740.99 for new work. The total expenditure was $4,213.90. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the year, $10,786.10, will be applied during the fiscal year 1944 to accounts payable June 30, 1943,,and to the preparation of detailed plans and specifications. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 in view of the existing Federal policies on wartime construction.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of August 26, 1941, the Chief of Engineers submitted report for 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 1524 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 satisfactory 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 ownership, 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 damages resulting from such disposal. This requirement was accepted by resolution of the city of Coronado, and approved by the Chief of Engineers. Terminal facilities.-In San Diego Harbor there are 20,955 linear feet of wharves, exclusive of Government-owned wharves, of which 11,785 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 flscal year-Neo work.-In area S, 2,700,439 cubic yards were dredged by continuing contract from July 1, 1942, to March 31, 1943, and deposited in the bay and beach dis- posal areas. Dredging in area S was halted temporarily at the re- quest of the Navy Department to permit use of dredges on more urgent work. The costs were $368,329.29 for new work. The expenditures were $522,769:72. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 76 percent completed. The San Diego River dike was completed in 1876, the Zuniga Shoal jetty in 1904, the entrance channel to a width of 800 feet and a depth of 40 feet in 1934, and the bay channel to a width of 2,200 feet and a depth of 35 feet in 1936. In area M, the westerly anchorage area and the seaplane basin were dredged to depths of 26 and 8 feet, respectively, and areas N and O were dredged to a depth of 30 feet during the fiscal year. The Zuniga Shoal sand barrier was completed in October 1941, dredging for the Navy at mooring No. 49 in December 1941, and repair work on San Diego River dike in January 1942. The major portion of division 3 and all of division 4 iri area S were turned over to the Navy in August 1942. Dredging in area S was 53 percent completed. Controlling depths were 40 feet for a minimum width of 450 feet in the entrance channel; 35 feet in the bay channel, turning basin, and easterly anchorage area in area M; 26 feet in the westerly anchorage area in area M; 8 feet in the seaplane basin in area M; 30 feet in the south bay channel; 16 feet in the Chula Vista Channel; and 10 feet in the southerly half of the seaplane basin in the south bay, area S.

A total of 4,750 linear feet of full section of breakwater was completed by placing 386,036 solid cubic yards of class B stone from July 1, 1942, to December 24, 1942, and 430,144 tons of class A stone from July 1, 1942, to March 11, 1943. Repairs to the 12,500-foot detached breakwater required 17,220 solid cubic yards of class B stone and 12,873 tons of class A stone which were placed by contract from July 1, 1942, to August 28, 1942. A contract entered into July 8, 1941, for dredging 4,480,000 cubic yards of material from the mouth of the Los Angeles River diversion channel and depositing the dredged ma- terial on the beach eastward to Belmont pier remained on stop order throughout the fiscal year. Costs were $5,515,146.81 for new work and $120,081.19 for mainte- nance, a total of $5,635,228 from regular funds. Expenditures were $7,267,821.18 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 85 percent completed. The San Pedro breakwater was completed in 1912, the silt-diversion works in 1923, the Los Angeles inner harbor channels and turning basin in 1931, the 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 6,000-foot section of the detached breakwater was completed under Navy contract in July 1942. Controlling depths were 40 feet in the entrance channel and outer harbor turning basin and 35 feet in the main channel, inner harbor turning basin, east basin channel, Cerritos Channel, Long Beach inner harbor turning basin, and the entrance to Long Beach inner harbor. Work remaining to complete the existing project consists of com- pletion of the 13,350-foot section of detached breakwater; dredging 4,480,000 cubic yards for a settling basin at the mouth of the Los Angeles River diversion channel, and depositing the material on the beaches easteiy to Belmont pier; completion of dredging to project depth of 40 feet in anchorage area A east of the entrance channel to Los Angeles Harbor and in anchorage area B west of the entrance channel; and completion of repairs to the 12,500-foot detached break- water.

SANTA BARBARA HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-On the Pacific coast, 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles Harbor and 320 miles southeast of San Francisco Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5261.) Existing project.-Provides for maintenance by dredging of the present depths into the harbor formed by the breakwater constructed by local interests. All depths refer to 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. Recom/mended modificttions of project.-Under date of June 9, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing proj- ect 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 $151,200 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. 1532 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Terminal facilities.-Consistsof one wharf 2,200 feet long and also a landing float and mooring facilities for small craft. The wharf, which is equipped with warehouse, is used by general cargo and fishing boats. Operations and results during fiscal yecr-Maintenance.-From July 13, to August 14, 1942, 558,610 cubic yards of material were dredged from the harbor and deposited on the beaches to the east of the harbor, including 110,092 cubic yards dredged for the Navy. Costs and expenditures for maintenance were $58,949.75, from regular funds and $50,000 from contributed funds, a total of $108,949.75. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Controlling depths subsequent to maintenance dredging were 24 feet in an area 1,000 feet long by 300 feet to 400 feet wide adjacent to the breakwater, 18 feet in an area 600 feet by 900 feet immediately north of the preceding area, and 15 feet in the remainder of the harbor. The costs and expenditures for maintenance and beach restoration to June 30, 1943, were $29,198. 39 from Public Works funds, $220,004 from regular funds, and $141,731.98 from contributed funds, a total of $390,934.37. Proposedoperations.-No funds are available and no operations are proposed during the fiscal years 1944 and 1945.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY DRAINAGE AREA, CALIFORNIA Location.-The work is located along the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers and Ballona Creek and tributaries thereof in Los Angeles County. Existing project.-The Flood Control Acts of June 22, 1936, and May 15, 1937, authorized the construction of reservoirs and channel improvements in Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers and Ballona Creek and tributaries thereof for protection of Los Angeles County, in accordance with plans approved by the Chief of Engineers on recommendation of the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, at an estimated construction cost not to exceed $70,000,000. The Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941, approved the general comprehensive plan for flood control and other purposes in the basins of the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers and Ballona Creek, as set forth in House Document No. 838, Seventy-sixth Con- gress, third session, and in addition to previous authorizations, the act authorized $25,000,000 for the further accomplishment of that plan. For the Los Angeles Basin the plan provides for the Sepulveda, Hansen, and Lopez flood-control basins, debris basins at the mouths of 17 tributary canyons, improvement of 49.07 miles of main channel and 53.42 miles of tributary channels, and reconstruction of 109 bridges. For the San Gabriel Basin the plan provides for the Santa Fe and Whittier Narrows flood-control basins, debris basins at the mouths of 7 tributary canyons, improvement of 35.6 miles of main channel and 69.16 miles of tributary channels, and reconstruction of 142 bridges. For the Rio Hondo Basin the plan provides for debris basins at the mouths of 7 tributary canyons, improvement of 9.76 miles of main channel and 35.23 miles of tributary channels, and recon- struction of 65 bridges. For Ballona Creek Basin the plan provides for debris basins at the mouths of 2 canyons, improvement of 2.39 miles of main channel and 23.67 miles of tributary channels, and reconstruction of 12 bridges.

Location.-The works included under this project are in San Fran- cisco Bay, in the vicinity of San Francisco, and in the approach chan- nels 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. Further 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 ..5 feet, and for dredging a channel 750 feet wide and 10 feet deep RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1561 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 between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.7 feet at Fort Point and 7.2 feet at the San Francisco Airport. The extreme ranges at the foregoing localities are 10.6 and 12 feet respectively. The estimate of cost for new work revised in 1940 is $1,330,800, ex- clusive 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.

Terminal facilities.-The State has 42 piers, 14 passenger 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 fiscal year.-As new work the U. S. hopper dredge Mackenzie removed 1,100,076 cubic yards from the bar channel. As maintenance the harbor was kept cleared of floating debris in the interest of safety of seaplane and small craft opera- tions. The costs were $106,087.41 for new work and $8,879.95 for maintenance, a total of $114,967.36. The expenditures were $115,116.96. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 90 percent physically completed. The work remaining, to be done was the completion of the bar channel and the removal 'of Raccoon Shoal. The dredging of Islais Creek was completed in 1930, the deepening of Presidio Shoal in 1931, the removal of the various rocks in 1932, the deepening of Point Knox Shoal in 1934, the deepening 1562 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARtMY, 1943 of Alcatraz Shoal in 1936, the deepening of Black Point Shoal in 1937, and the dredging of the channel and basin at the San Francisco Airport in 1941. The controlling depths over various items of the project at the times shown were as follows: Bar Channel, 47 feet, February 11, 1943; channel and basin at San Francisco Airport 8.5 feet, J'ne 1943; Presidio Shoal 45 feet; Black Point Shoal 37 feet, March 1941; Alca- traz Shoal 50 feet, March 1943; Point Knox Shoal 36 feet, April 1943; Islais Creek Shoal 27 feet, June 1943; Rincon Reefs (inner and 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 $1,359,782.95 for new work ($193,000 from Public Works funds and $1,166,782.95 from regular funds) and $173,633.51 for maintenance, a total of $1,533,416.46. The expenditures were $407,992.79. In addi- tion, $134,591.02 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended plus accounts re- ceivable June 30, 1943, less a revocation made in July 1943, a net amount of $26,149.41 will be applied to maintenance as follows: Redredging the channel to the San Francisco Airport by Government hopper dredge, May 1944_ ----- $18, 949. 41 Removal of floating debris from the harbor with hired labor and leased plant throughout the fiscal year--------------------------- 7, 200. 00 Total_-------------------------------------------------- 26, 149. 41 The additional sum of $7,200 can be profitably expended for main- tenance during the fiscal year 1945 keeping the harbor clear of float- ing debris with leased plant and hired labor.

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 11/2 miles long, 30 feet deep, and 800 feet wide, through the shoal south- east of Yerba Buena Island, narrowing to 600 feet at the ends of Oakland Jetties; a channel from the ends of the jetties to the tidal canal, 30 feet deep, 600 feet wide, to the west end of Government Island, thence 500 feet wide through Brooklyn Basin; for dredging to a depth of 30 feet a triangular area about 2,700 feet long and of a maximum width of 300 feet at the western end of Brooklyn Basin; a turning basin at the east end of Brooklyn Basin, 30 feet deep, 500 feet wide, and 1,200 feet long; a channel 1.9 miles long in the tidal canal, 30 feet deep and 275 feet wide from Brooklyn Basin to Park Street, and 25 feet deep above the Park Street Bridge, to San Leandro Bay; a total channel length of 81/2 miles. The project provides also for an entrance channel to the outer harbor, 30 feet deep and 800 feet wide at the bay end, narrowing to 600 feet at the former pierhead line (western extremity of Oakland Mole). 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 main- tenance 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, 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 feet in the outer harbor and 6.3 feet in the inner harbor at the Park Street Bridge. The extreme range is about 11 feet. 1564 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 The estimated cost of new work, authorized by the acts of Sep- tember 22, 1922, January 21, 1927, and July 3, 1930, is $1,492,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, but including $150,000 to be contributed by local interests. Overdepth dredging in the main channel, in the nature of deferred maintenance, involved an estimated expenditure of $1,035,000. The latest (1940) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $75,000.

Doc. 466, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-The act of January 21, 1927, requires local interests contribute one-half the cost of the entrance channel (400 feet wide) to the outer harbor; shall contribute 10 cents per cubic yard of material dredged in the tidal canal (approximately $50,000), with the privilege of using such material for land reclamation; 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 removal, upon the contribu- tion of one-half the cost of maintenance (H. Doc. No. 407, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). The first of the above requirements has been fulfilled. The others have not been fulfilled. In compliance with the Act of April RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1565 28, 1928 (Public Res. No. 28, 70th Cong.), local interests have replaced the bridges at Park Street and High Street and are operating and maintaining them. Terminal facilities.-There are 88 wharves, exclusive of those owned by the United States, and 12 ferry slips in the harbor. These facili- ties are considered adequate. (See Port Series No. 12, Corps of Engineers.) perations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredges Mackenzie and Kingman worked in the entrance channels to the harbor and in the inner harbor intermittently during the year, removing 1,120,191 cubic yards. The harbor was kept clear of floating debris. The Fruitvale Avenue Bridge was repaired and operated throughout the year. The cost was $135,547.60 for maintenance. The expendi- tures were $138,182.87. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 82 percent completed. The work remaining to be done was the deepen- ing, to 25 feet, of the tidal canal above the Park Street Bridge. In February 1943, the controlling depth in the channel across the shoal southeast 6f Yerba Buena Island and in the channels to the inner and outer harbors was 31 feet. At the end of the fiscal year the follow- ing controlling depths applied to the remaining portions of the project: Inner harbor 25 feet (at two small shoals) to Webster Street, thence 29 feet to Brooklyn Basin, thence 25 feet through Brooklyn Basin and in the tidal canal to a point 300 feet west of Park Street; thence 17 feet in the tidal canal to San Leandro Bay; North channel in Brooklyn Basin, 18 feet. 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 $1,722,226.18 for mainte- nance, a total of $2,940,235.41. The expenditures were $2,941,620.59 ($2,858,073.57 from United States funds and $83,547.02 from con- tributed funds). Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended together with ac- counts receivable June 30, 1943, amounting in all to $61,566.31, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1943 $_-----------_----------_ $24.68 Maintenance: Redredging the main channel in the inner harbor and any shoal areas that may develop in the entrance channels, with Govern- ment hopper dredge intermittently with dredging in other proj- ects during the fiscal year-------------------------------- 36,341.63 Removal of floating debris with leased plant and hired labor throughout the fiscal year_----------------------------------- , 200.00 Operation and care of the Fruitvale Ave. Bridge throughout the year ------------------------------------------------ 18, 00 Total----------------------------------- 61, 566. 31 The additional sum of $80,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance of adequate depths in the various deep- water channels by Government hopper dredge intermittently during the year and for the operation and care of the Fruitvale Avenue Bridge throughout the year.

RICHMOND HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-Located on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay about 10 miles north of Oakland. (See U. S. 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 point; thence widening from 700 feet just east of Point Potrero to 850 feet at a point 575 feet northerly therefrom; RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1567 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.

Recom'mended 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 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 conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 715, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). Local cooperation.-The act of August 30, 1935, requires local in- terests to furnish spoil-disposal areas free of cost to the United States. The act of June 20, 1938, requires that local interests furnish neces- sary rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for initial work and sub- sequent 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. Terminal facilities.-In the inner harbor there are two modern deep- water terminals, one oil wharf, one lumber wharf, one private general- cargo wharf, and one ferry terminal. In the outer harbor there are one 1568 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 deep-water general-cargo terminal, three oil wharves, one small barge wharf, and one ferry terminal. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredges Mackenzie and Kingman removed 464,425 cubic yards of ma- terial from the inner harbor channel and 272,173 cubic yards from the approach area to the Standard Oil Co. Long Wharf in the outer har- bor. Both inner and outer harbors were kept clear of floating debris. The cost was $41,876.75 for maintenance. The expend'itures were $41,634.46. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 93 percent completed. The work remaining to be done was the widening of the main channel north of Point Potrero as authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved June 20, 1938. At the end of the year the con- trolling depths were as follows: Approach area to Long Wharf, 31 feet; to Point Orient Wharf 30 feet; to Parr Richmond Terminal No. 4, 32 feet; inner harbor, 25 feet to the turning basin at Terminal No. 1; 24 feet in that basin; thence 26 feet to the head of the project. The total cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $788,233.24 for new work ($683,233.24 from regular funds and $105,000 from Public Work funds) and $385,243.59 for maintenance, a total of $1,173,476.83. The total expenditures were $1,173,234.54. In addition the costs and expenditures from contributed funds were $524,777.66 for new work and $34,800.20 for maintenance, a total of $559,577.86.

SAN PABLO BAY AND MARE ISLAND STRAIT, CALIF. Location.-The channel extends from a point in the lower end of San Pablo Bay west of Pinole Point in a general northeasterly di- rection 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 p. 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 higher high water is 5.9 feet at the lower end of 1570 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1938) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $195,000.

The latest published map is in House Document No. 217, Seventy- seventh Congress, first session. Recomnmended modifications of project.-Under date of November 7, 1940, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the existing project be modified to provide two approach areas 20 feet deep, to within 50 feet of the pierhead line adjacent to the improved water front at Vallejo and South Vallejo, at an estimated first cost of $7,600, with $2,500 annually for maintenance, n addition, to the amount now re- quired; 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 N o. 12, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work on the project turning basin in Mare Island Strait was completed by contract, the amount removed being 157,185 cubic yards. This work completed the project. As maintenance, 161,436 cubic yards of material was re- moved by contract and 2,823,160 cubic yards by the U. S. hopper dredge Kingman from the Mare Island Strait channel and turning basin, and 1,122,114 cubic yards was removed by the Kingman from the channel across Pinole Shoal in San Pablo Bay. The project was also kept cleared of floating debris. The costs were $40,303.53 for new work and $218,794.79 for maintenance, a total of $259,098.32. The expendi- tures were $263,327.20. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in March 1943. The controlling depth at the end of the year was 30 feet in the Pinole Shoal channel, 29 feet in Mare Island Strait from the entrance to opposite Thirteenth Street, Mare Island, thence 27 feet to near the head of the project. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1571 The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $282,669.05 for new work and $1,534,824.92 for maintenance, a total of $1,817,493.97. The expenditures were $1,625,950.51. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended plus accounts re- ceivable June 30, 1943, a total of $220,998.16, will be applied to mainte- nance as follows: Redredging the channel and turning basin in Mare Island Strait and the channel across Pinole Shoal in San Pablo Bay, by Government hopper dredges about 6 months intermittently throughout the ----------------- fiscal year__ $216, 198. 16 Removal of floating debris with leased plant and hired labor through- out the fiscal year - -------------- 4, 800. 00 Total -__------------_ _ 220, 998. 16 The additional sum of $225,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance, redredging the channel and turn- ing basin in Mare Island Strait and the channel across Pinole Shoal in San Pablo Bay by Government hopper dredge intermittently throughout the year and in the removal of floating debris with leased plant and hired labor throughout the year. The activities at the Mare Island Navy Yard require the constant maintenance of project depth in Mare Island Strait. This necessi- tates periodic dredging throughout thile year. A large volume of deep-draft tanker traffic passes through the Pinole Shoal channel. making it essential that near-to-project depth be maintained therein. Float ing debris must be kept removed in the interest of safe operations of seaplanes and small craft on war duties.

PETALUMA CREEK, CALIF. Location.-This stream rises in the hills north of Petaluma, flows southeasterly about 20 miles, and empties into the northwest side of San Pablo Bay about 22 miles from San Francisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5533.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 14, 1880, July 13, 1892, July 18, 1918, and March 3, 1925. For further details see page 1982 of Annual Report for 1915, page 1665 of Annual Report for 1929, and page 1684 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 8 feet deep and 200 feet wide in San Pablo Bay to the mouth of the creek; thence 8 feet deep and 100 feet wide in the creek to Western Avenue, Petaluma, including a depth of 8 feet in the turning basin; thence 4 feet deep and 50 feet wide to Washington Street Bridge; thence 4 feet deep and 40 feet wide to a point 935 feet above the Washington Street Bridge. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The length of the section under improvement is 19.5 miles, of which 5 miles are in San Pablo Bay downstream from the mouth of the creek. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.1 feet at the entrance and 6.6 feet at the head of navigation, with an extreme range of 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1928, was $185,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $22,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. No. 183, 70th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 36 wharves and landings on the creek, which are considered to be adequate. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-As maintenance, by con- tract, the project turning basin and the channel upstream thereof were redredged to project depth. The amount removed was 25,398 cubic yards. The cost was $14,451.36. The expenditures were $14,743.34. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1933. In May 1943, the controlling depth was 7 feet in the channel across the flats in San Pablo Bay and in the creek to McNear Canal; thence 5 feet to the foot of Western Avenue, Petaluma; thence it shoaled to one foot at the head of the project. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $85,062.57 for new work and $199,134.57 for maintenance, a total of $284,197.14. The expenditures were $284,197.14. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1944. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1573 The additional sum of $30,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance, redredging the project upstream from the railroad bridge at McNear, by contract, July 1944. The use of this waterway for the transportation of a considerable volume of feed and building materials reduces the need for cars and trucks. Restoration of the channel after the winter of 1943-44 will be nec- essary to accommodate this traffic.

BODEGA BAY, CALIF. Location.-Bodega Bay is a triangular lagoon on the C'alifornia coast 58 miles north of San Francisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5603.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 100 feet wide and 12 feet deep at mean lower low water, protected by jetties; a channel of the same ctimensions as the entrance channel to the town of Bay, and thence southerly along the shore for a distance of about 4,200 feet, with three widenings or turning basins 12 feet deep and 300 to 400 feet in width, one located at the inner end of the entrance channel, the second at the junction of the bay and shore channels near the town of Bay, and the third at the southern end of the shore channel; and a suitable bulkhead to prevent sand from the spit near the entrance be- ing carried into the bay channel. 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. The existing .project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938 (H. Doc. No. 619, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). The latest published map is in that document. 1574 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 12 small fishing and pleasure wharves and landings, all privately owned. These are not adequate, and fishing interests are planning the construction of additional facili- ties when the materials become available. Operations and results during fiscal year.-By contract under way at the beginning of the fiscal year 112,982 tons of stone and 77,950 board feet of sheet piling were placed in the jetties and bulkhead, completing these structures. The U. S. pipe-line dredge San Joaquin and hopper dredge Pacific dredged the project channels and turning basins, removing 1,806,174 and 7,918 cubic yards respectively there- from. This new work completed the project, except the restoration of the jetties after the first few winters' storms. All the work was new work. The costs were $201,809.40 for the contract work and $293,774.87 for the dredging, a total of $495,584.27. The expenditures were $552,380.14. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is completed except for the restoration of the jetties after the first few winters' storms. The jetties and bulkhead were completed in December 1942, and the channels and turning basins were completed on March 7, 1943. On the latter date, the controlling depth was 11 feet in the entrance chan- nel, thence 10 feet to the head of the project. The cost of the project to the end of the fiscal year was $642,554.71, all for new work. The expenditures were $642,689.66. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended plus accounts re- ceivable June 30, 1943, a total of $7,469.61 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1943__ $24. 32 Maintenance: Removal of minor shoal areas in the channel by Government hopper dredge February 1944 -- ------ 7, 445. 29 Total --------------------------- 7, 469. 61 The additional sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for new work, restoration of the jetties authorized by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938, by contract May and June 1945. This will complete the project. The seaward end of the south jetty has already settled consider- ably. It is expected that after two more winters the jetties will have settled and be sufficiently compacted to require their restoration as contemplated by the project document.

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. Recom mended modiflcations 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 558155---44-pt. 1, vol. 2-84 1576 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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, two oil terminals for fueling fishing boats, and one boat-repair plant equipped with marine railway. These facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The north and south walls at the mouth of the river, under construction at the beginning of the year, were completed. The quantities placed were 366.3 cubic yards of concrete and 700 cubic yards of sand and gravel. In ad- dition, 2,760 cubic yards of gravel and rock were removed from the channel. All work was maintenance and all was done with hired labor. The cost was $19,012.64. The expenditures were $21,398.70. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1931. At the end of the fiscal year the controlling depth was 5 feet at the mouth of the creek, thence 6 feet to the head of the project. The cost and expenditures of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $183,684.66 for new work and $133,124.31 for maintenance, a total of $316,808.97. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1944. The additional sum of $30,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance, redredging the project channel, with leased plant and hired labor April to June 1945. Noyo River is a moderately important fishing harbor and reasonable depth for small fishing boats should be maintained therein.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1577 8. 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 projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1881, September 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 long, 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 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 Eu- reka. 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, was $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 of dredging is $58,000. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of the jetties.

These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairsto the north and south jetties at the entrance to Humboldt Bay were continued with Government plant and hired labor, 15,125 cubic yards of concrete being placed, of which 7,174 cubic yards was in the form of 100-ton concrete blocks placed in the side slopes of the jetties. None of the 1578 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 blocks placed in the fall of 1942 were displaced during the winter, which indicates that means may have been found for preventing the underscour and breaching that has previously caused great damage to the seaward ends of the jetties. The work was maintenance. The cost was $189,812.45. The expenditures were $205,143.69. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. The north jetty was completed in 1925, the south jetty in 1927, the Arcata channel in 1931, the Fields Landing channel and turning basin and the Eureka and Samoa channels in 1939. The following controlling depths existed at the times given: South- westerly entrance channel 32 feet, and channel between the jetties 30 feet, June 1942; Fields Landing channel and turning basin, 25 feet, Samoa channel 28 feet, Eureka channel 24 feet to A Street, thence 20 feet to M Street, thence 10 feet at the head of the channel, all in May 1943; Arcata channel (which is no longer used) 18 feet, May 1937. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $7,109,121.02 of which $2,778,887.78 was for new work and $4,330,- 233.24 was for maintenance. The total expenditure was $7,127,464.59. In addition $95,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended together with ac- counts receivable June 30, 1943, amounting in all to $38,332.66, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1943___ ------------ $5, 371. 83 Maintenance: Completion of the repairs to the north jetty by Gov- ernment plant and hired labor, July to November 1943 -- 32,.960. 83 Total _--------------------------------------------------- 38,332. 66 The additional sum of $100,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance, repairing scoured sections on the south slope of the south jetty and placing additional heavy blocks on the slopes at the end thereof to insure its greater security from storm damage, by Government plant and hired labor July to No- vember 1944.

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 Stockton Channel; and for a channel 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide in Mormon 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 set- tling basin 30 feet deep and average side length of about 1,000 feet in the San Joaquin River just above its junction with the Stockton deep-water channel and a second settling basin 30 feet deep, 1,200 feet long, and 100 feet wide, adjoining the deep-water channel at the mouth of Calaveras River; for the reconstruction to grade and section of approximately 4,000 feet of levee along the north side of Venice Island Cut, and the setting back of levees where required for the channel improvements; for cutting off sharp bends and making cut-offs in the river; for partial closing of side channels at Laird Slough and Paradise Cut by weirs to confine the low- water flow to one main channel; and for snagging, removing over- hanging 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 following table shows the tide and flood conditions prevailing: 1586 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and har- bor 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.

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 mainte- nance and necessary rights-of-way, and shall assume the mainte- nance of levees. All requirements for work done to date have been fulfilled. Teriminal 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- RIVERS AND HARBORS--S-ACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1587 ber terminals, a cotton compress and warehouse, a bean-cleaning plant, oil refinery, and storage tanks, a large storage tank for crude molasses, and bank of silos for cement storage, there are numerous publicly and privately owned shallow-draft wharves at Stockton. In New York slough there are 13 wharves, including 1 for deep-sea vessels. One wharf has a spur track and 2 have oil pipe lines. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year--New work.-None. Maintenance.-The 30-foot channel to Stockton was restored to project dimensions at the confluence of the main river and Stockton Channel and vicinity by the excavation of 312,449 cubic yards by the pipe-line dredge William E. Palmer under contract, at a cost of $71,750.42. Clamshell dredging plant under contract for its hire and operation performed similar work in Stockton Channel above Mormon Channel at Stockton, excavating 43,550 cubic yards at a cost of $8,573.93. Preparation for dredging work, of spoil area at Louis Park near Stockton, by hired labor, cost $2,656.12. Miscellaneous surveys and inspections cost $258.04. Total cost for the fiscal year was $83,238.51 for maintenance; total expenditures were $83.883.49. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 95 percent completed, the work remaining to be done being the dredging of a 9-foot channel in Mormon Channel to Center Street, Stockton; com- pletion 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. This work has been postponed for the duration of the war by order of the War Production Board. The controlling depth from mouth of the river in Suisun Bay to Mormon Channel, 41 miles, is 30 feet; thence to Edison Street, three-quarters of a mile, 25 feet; and thence to head at El Dorado Street, one-half mile, 9 feet. A 3-foot depth is available in Mormon Channel and 8 feet in Fremont Channel and McLeod Lake. The river, fromm its junction with Stockton Channelto 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.

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 Document No. 256, Sixty-third Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. 1590 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Terminal facilities.-See report on San Joaquin River, Calif. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Surveys and inspections cost $577.59 for maintenance; total expenditures were $583.45. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1910. Most of the silt formerly deposited in Stockton and Mormon Channels is diverted therefrom by this canal, thereby obviating seri- ous inconveniences to navigation and the expensive annual dredging. The total cost was $359,368.17, of which $253,151.03 was for new work and $106,217.14 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $359,339.43. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1943, amounting to $2,851.45, will be applied to payment of accounts pay- able, $28.74, and maintenance, including removal of brush, over- hanging trees, and other obstructions from the channels and banks of both sections of the diverting canal, by hired labor and Govern- ment plant, from July to September 1943, and miscellaneous inspections. The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 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 1944---------------$2,000 Dredging deposits of silt from the Calaveras section of the diverting canal, by contract, December 1944------------------------------2, 500 Miscellaneous inspections, during entire fiscal year-------------------500 Total for maintenance---------------------------------------5, 000 The preceding amount is greater than the average cost of main- tenance for the preceding 5 years because very little maintenance has been done during that period, resulting in a heavy growth of brush and trees, which should be removed.

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 Landing via South Fork_- . -- _-----. - _. ...... . -- . . . . ...-. 9 14 New Hope Landing to Galt-New Hope Bridge---------------- ------ _ .....- 3 8 At low-river stages the range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth is 4 feet, with extreme tidal range of 5 feet; there is no tide at the upper end, just above Galt- New Hope Bridge. Ordinarily flood fluctuation is 5.5 feet at the mouth and 12 feet at the upper end. Extreme flood fluctuation is 8 feet at the mouth and 17 feet at the upper end. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1881, was $8,250. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884, Senate Executive Document No. 34, Forty-seventh Con- gress, first session (Annual Report for 1882, p. 2637). For latest pub- lished map see House Document No. 1160, Sixty-third Congress, sec- ond 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. 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 558155---44-pt. 1, vol. 2--35 1592 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, TJ. S. ARMY, 1943 depth; in the third section, where 2 feet is the controlling depth; and 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.-No operations are proposed for the fiscal year 1944. The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance, as follows: Dredging sand bars and shoals by contract, from mouth to New Hope Landing, July or August 1944 $3, 500 Removing snags, overhanging trees, and other obstructions, by hired labor and Government plant, September 1944 .1, 500 Total for maintenance__--------------__ ------- --------- ---------- 5, 000 The preceding amount is greater than the average annual cost of maintenance for the preceding five years because no obstructions have been removed from the channel since 1939 and it will be necessary to remove accumulations of these obstructions.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This river is formed by numerous streams draining the Trinity and Warner Mountains in northern California and empties into Suisun Bay at Collinsville. (See U. S. Geological Survey topo- graphic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1875, August 2, 1882, December 21, 1889, July 13, 1892, and August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1985, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1708, Annual Report for 1938. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1593 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. Doe. No. 1123, 60th Cong., 2d sess. 1594 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Recommended modifications of project.-In House Document No. 1893, Sixty-fourth Congress, second session, it was recommended that Chico Landing, 52.4 miles downstream from Red Bluff, be made the head of the improvement. Terminal facilities.-At Sacramento there are 4,810 linear feet of wharves, of which 1,850 linear feet are owned by the city and 420 linear feet are open to general public use. There are 245,700 square feet of warehouse space, of which 103,700 square feet are owned by the city and 21,000 square feet are open to general public use. On the west bank, opposite Sacramento, are 4 wharves of a total length of 350 feet, with 108,560 square feet of warehouse space, all privately owned and used. Between Sacramento and Chico 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 oper- ated by private interests. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Above Sacramento: Sur- veys and soundings were made at a cost of $810. At and below Sacramento: A pipe-line dredge under hourly basis contract removed 125,000 cubic yards from the river between Y Street, Sacramento, and the mouth of American River, at a cost of $49,563.06. Additional Government cost for future dredging was $2,045.73. Spe- cial work on spoil areas, including rebuilding roads covered by dredge spoil, and grading, cost $9,694.55. Hired labor and Government plant were used to remove snags and other obstructions from the channel and banks below Walnut Grove, at a cost of $1,333.06. Clamshell dredging plant, under contract for its hire and operation, removed 226,688 cubic yards from the main channel at and to 7 miles below Sacramento, at a cost of $53,747.25. In June 1943 118,175 cubic yards were similarly removed in the same section; cost was not included in fiscal year cost. General and miscellaneous surveys of the river and miscellaneous expenses cost $8,346.14. Total cost was $125,539.79 for maintenance; total expenditures were $121,569.73. 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. This work has been postponed for the duration of the war by order of the War Production Board. The controlling low-water depths in September 1942 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, 4 feet; thence to Butte City, 3 feet; and thence to Sidds Landing, 21/ feet. There is no regular navigation above Sidds Landing, 178 miles above the mouth, and no mainte- nance work has been done above this point since 1921. The total cost was $4,077,203.90, of which $196,616.74 was for new work and $3,880,587.16 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $4,072,122.94.

FEATHER RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This river rises in the Sierra Nevada, and empties into the Sacramento River about 21 miles above the city of Sacramento. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheet "Topographic Map of the Sacra- mento Valley, Calif.") Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916, without previously published report. For further details see page 1985, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1711, Annual Report for 1938. 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. 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.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Thereare several small landings, all privately owned. All other traffic is handled on the bank. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1597 Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is one of maintenance and requires the removal of obstructions and construc- tion 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.-No operations are proposed for the fiscal year 1944. The additional sum of $1,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 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 mouth of Whiskey Slough. (See U. S. Geological Survey, California quadrangles Bouldin, Woodward Island, Holt, Union Island, Stockton, and Lathrop.) 1598 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930. For further details see page 1290 of Annual Report for 1934. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide in Middle River below Borden Highway Bridge; in Latham Slough between Middle River and Empire Cut; and in Empire Cut, Whiskey Slough, and Turner Cut between Middle River and San Joaquin River. The mean range of tide is about 3 feet during stages of extreme low water. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1935, was $6,500, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 48, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project docu- ment. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are no extensive terminal facilities on these waterways, other than bank landings along the channels, which are considered adequate. There is one large wharf with warehouse at Middle River Station with rail connection. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 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 ex- penditures were $7,645.52, of which $6,754.22 was for new work and $891.30 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No operations are proposed for the fiscal year 1944. The additional sum of $1,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance, in redredging channels 9 feet deep by 100 feet wide in Middle River below Borden Highway Bridge, in Empire Cut, Latham Slough, Whiskey Slough, and Tur- ner Cut, by clamshell dredging plant under contract for its hire and operation, in September or October 1944.

The latest published map is in Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 4, 70th Cong., 1st sess. Terminal facilities.-Along the channel, between the western end of the bay and mouth of New York Slough, there are three wharves and two car-ferry slips. The facilities are considered adequate. Operations and results during #scal year.-The Government hopper dredge Pacific excavated 593,189 cubic yards from shoals near Roe Island, Middle Ground, Point Edith, and Bulls Head Point, at a cost of $45.783.11. Surveys with soundings cost $5,457.71. Total cost was $51,240.82 and expenditures were $45,235.77, for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1934. The controlling depth in the main channel is 30 feet, and in the channel south of Seal Islands is 181/2 feet. Total cost for the ex- isting project, except work done under the Public Works program as part of the San Joaquin River 30-foot project, was $449,746.29, of 1600 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 which $142,026.28 was for new work and $307,720.01 for mainte- nance; total expenditures were $443,791.06. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1943, amounting to $18,681.87, including accounts receivable, and an allot- ment of $2,000 received in July 1943, will be applied to accounts pay- able, and to maintenance dredging in the 30-foot project channel near Bulls Head Point, Point Edith, Port Chicago, and through Middle Ground and Roe Island shoals, by Government hopper or pipe-line dredge, in September and October 1943. The additional sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging in the 30-foot channel near Bulls Head Point, Point Edith, Port Chicago, and through shoals at Roe Island, Middle Ground, and near the mouth of San Joaquin River (New York Slough), in October and November 1944.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1601 8. 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 2C0 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, 5 , 71/2, and 12 miles below Suisun; the removal of ledge rock from the channel at a location about 2 miles below Suisun; and a 1,400 by 150-foot basin at Suisun, with an extension 275 feet wide and 600 feet long. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.4 feet, with an extreme range of 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $164,500. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $4,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25,1910 To secure a channel up to Suisun, 6 feet deep at H. Doe. No. 1110, 60th Cong., 2d sess. low water, by dredging and making a cut-off just below the town. Mar. 4,1913 Pursuant to this act the project was modified by the Assistant Secretary of War to provide for dredging a channel 125 feet wide on the bottom and 6 feet deep, mean lower low water, up to and including a basin 6 feet deep, 150 feet wide, and 1,417 feet long in front of the town of Suisun, and the removal of a rock about 30l miles below the head of navigation. Aug. 26,1937 Depth of 8 feet with a width of 200 feet in the bar Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. channel and 100 feet in cut-off; widening 4 bends No. 97, 74th Cong., 2d sess. (Con- below Suisun; removal of ledge rock and exten- tains latest published map.) sion of the basin at Suisun. 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 pro- posed 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 ter- minals, which will be completed after the harbor dredging is done. 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 1602 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 have been prepared for construction when dredging plant can be obtained economically. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 18 per- cent completed. The work remaining to be done is to provide a chan- nel with depth of 8 feet at mean lower low water, with the authorized 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 accordance with the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937. This work has been post- poned for the duration of the war by order of the War Production Board. The controlling depth is 8 feet in the channel and harbor basin. The total cost and expenditures under existing project were $29,419.44 for new work and $31,922.64 for maintenance, a total of $61,342.08. Proposed operations.-Of the balance unexpended June 30, 1943, amounting to $123,065.33, $110,000 was revoked in July 1943, and the balance will be applied to maintenance of the present 8-foot channel from the mouth of Suisun Channel to and in the harbor basin at the town of Suisun, by a dredge under contract, in February to June 1944. The additional sum of $150,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 of which $146,000 is for new work dredging of a channel 8 feet deep to Suisun and $4,000 is for maintenance dredging of channels in Suisun Channel and in the harbor basin at Suisun, by contract, May or June 1945. This amount is necessary because no maintenance dredging has been done since 1933, and cumulative de- posits of silt have been made in the channel.

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 13 miles above the mouth of Stockton Channel, and flows westerly and northerly 32 iniles to its lower confluence with the main river, 23 miles above its mouth in Suisun Bay. Existing project.-This provides for the easing of three sharp bends in Old River between its mouth and Orwood (Santa Fe) Bridge; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Santa Fe wharves and Phillips cannery at Orwood station; entrances 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Fabian-Bell Canal at its westerly end and just west of the Grant Line Highway Bridge; enlargement of Grant Line Canal west of Doughty Cut to a depth of 10 feet and width Of 100 feet; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide with suit- able alinement from the westerly end of Doughty Cut to the Holly- sugar factory; a channel 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide from the southerly end of Doughty Cut to the head of Old River; and a chan- nel 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 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 51/2 feet, extreme flood fluctations 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 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 1604 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 res~dts during fiscal year.-Clamshell dredging plant, operating under contracts for its hire and operation, removed 57,770 cubic yards from the channel in places, from Grant Line Canal to the Holly Sugar Factory near Tracy, at a cost of $6,275.29, including surveys and removal of obstructions, all for maintenance. Total ex- penditures were $5,116.87. Conditionat 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, 5 feet, and (b) to head of Old River in San Joaquin River, 4.5 feet. The total cost was $77,936.48, of which $23,184.86 was for new work and $54,751.62 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $76,778.06. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1943, amounting to $15,221.94 and an allotment of $15,000 received in July 1943, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable----------------------------------------- $1,158. 42 Maintenance: Dredging channels of the Old River system, including cuts, canals, and sloughs, to restore project dimensions, by clamshell dredging plant under contract for its hire and operation, July to September 1943----------------------------------------- 29, 063. 52 Grand total ------------------------------- 30,221.94 The additional sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging 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 1944.

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.) Existing 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 es- timated local cost is $107,000 for land and damages. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941. (See H. Doc. No. 845, 76th Cong., 3d sess., which contains the latest: published 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, easemenrts, 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.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1913, $30,000, will be expended during the fiscal year 1944 for the prepara- tion of detailed plans. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 in view of the existing Federal policies on wartime con- struction. 558155--44-pt. 1, vol. 2-36 1608 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Existing project.-This provides for two rubble-mound high-tide jetties at the river mouth, the south jetty 2,700 feet long and the north 3,450 feet; and for a channel, 13 feet deep at mean lower low water, between the sea and the eastern end of the north jetty. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the river mouth is 6.8 feet and the extreme range about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1930, was $275,600,, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000 for dredg- ing. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of jetties.

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. 1616 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Ternminal facilities.-At Bandon there are two privately owned wharves suitable for handling coastwise vessels. The existing termi- nals are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance surveys were made at a cost of $1,926.82. Expenditures were $1,891.71. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1933. The jetties were completed in 1908, and the entrance channel in 1933. The north jetty was reconstructed in 1942. The outer 200 feet of the south jetty enrockment has subsided below low- water level. The crest of the remaining portion of the enrockment is above low water. A survey in May 1943 shows a controlling depth of 11 feet across the ocean bar and 13 feet between the bar and Bandon in a channel 200 feet wide. The costs under the existing project have been $924,391.08; of which $316,640.21 was for new work and $607,750.87 for maintenance. The total expenditures have been $924,321.49. In addition $72,891.20 was expended from contributed funds for new work.

COOS BAY, OREG. Location.-On the Oregon coast 200 miles south of the mouth of Columbia River and 445 miles north of San Francisco Bay. It is about 13 miles long and 1 mile wide, with an area at high tide of about 15 square miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 5984.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1879, September 19, 1890, and August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1987 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1728 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for two rubble-mound high-tide jetties at the entrance; for dredging on the bar; for a channel 24 feet deep and 300 feet wide through Pigeon Point Reef; for an inner harbor channel from Pigeon Point Reef to Smith's mill 24 feet deep and generally 250 feet wide, increased to 450 feet at the railroad bridge and 300 feet in front of North Bend and Marshfield, and for a turning basin, 1,000 feet long and 600 feet wide opposite Coal Bank Slough just above Marshfield; for a channel 22 feet deep and 150 feet wide above Smith's mill to Millington. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges at the entrance are 7 and about 11 feet, respectively, and at Marshfield 7.3 and 11 feet, respectively. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $4,165,600, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $165,000, not including repairs to the jetties.

At Marshfield there is a broken line of privately owned wharves about 4,500 feet in length, and one public wharf with a frontage of about 1,000 feet. About 1 mile above Marshfield there is a sawmill wharf about 1,000 feet in length. These terminals are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government dredges re- moved 162,000 cubic yards from the bar and 579,100 cubic yards from the bay channel at a cost of $71,921.52. Total costs including hydro- graphic surveys were $83,036.78, all for maintenance with regular funds. Expenditures were $93,341.78. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1937. The south jetty was completed in 1928, the north jetty in 1929, and channel dredging in 1937. The north jetty was reconstructed in 1940 and the south jetty in 1942. Both jetties are in good con- dition. The controlling depth in an entrance channel 300 feet wide was 26 feet over the bar, and 25 feet to Guano Rock. The controlling depth between the entrance and the head of the bay at Marshfield was 20 feet in a channel 250 feet wide. In the turning basin the con- trolling depth was 161/ feet. The total costs under the existing proj- ect have been $9,195,715.74, of which $4,120,763.51 was for new work and $5,074,952.23 for maintenance, not including $2,713.14 for new work and $8,386.86 for maintenance from contributed funds. Total expendi- tures have been $9,206,401.59 of which $9195,301.59 were United States funds and $11,100 contributed funds.

(See U. S. Geological Survey, Coos Bay quadrangle.) Existing project.-This provides for snagging and boulder 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/ miles of the main river and about 81/2 miles of each fork. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges under ordinary conditions at the mouth of the river are 7.3 and 11 feet, respectively, and there is a tidal range of about 1 foot at the head of navigation in the forks. Freshet stages usually reach a height of from 10 to 15 feet at Allegany, head of navigation on the North Fork. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1898, was $8,000. The latest (1923) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896 (H. Doc. No. 237, 53d Cong., 3d sess.). The latest pub- lished map is in this document. Terminal facilities.-There are several small privately owned wharves and landing places on the river that are used by small launches. There are no publicly owned wharves. These terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance surveys were made at a cost and expenditure of $214.67. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed 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. Total costs and expenditures have been $69,921.17; of which $8,000 was for new work and $61,921.17 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The sum of $5,000 allotted during July 1943 will be applied to snagging and dredging. The sum of $3,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging and snagging by hired plant, August 1944.

UMPQUA RIVER, OREG. Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range, flows westerly about 120 miles, and empties into the Pacific Ocean 180 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River and 465 miles north of San Francisco Bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 6004.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified in 1886. For further details, see page 2967 of Annual Report for 1898, and page 1732 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a jetty on the north side of the entrance approximately 8,000 feet in length westerly from the high- water line to the sea; for a south jetty extending to a point 1,800 feet south of the outer end of the present north jetty; for dredging to provide a usable entrance channel 26 feet deep, and a river channel 22 feet deep and 200 feet wide, from the mouth to Reedsport, a distance of about 11 miles, with i turning basin at Reedsport 1,000 feet long, 600 feet wide, and 22 feet deep. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the river mouth is 6.9 feet, and the extreme range is about 11 feet. I The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938, was $2,449,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and of $276,500 contributed by local interests. The latest (1938) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $185,000, including jetty maintenance.

ARMY, 1943 Recommended modification of project.-Under date of June 14, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide for a channel 200 feet wide and 22 feet deep from the main river channel near mile 8 to and including a turn- ing basin of same depth 500 feet wide and 800 feet long opposite the mill dock at Gardiner, at an estimated first cost of $55,000, with annual maintenance of $10,000 in addition to the amount now required, sub- ject to certain conditions of local cooperation (S. Doec. No. 86, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Under date of December 19, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recom- mended modification of the existing project so as to provide for a channel 10 feet deep and 100 feet wide from deep water in the river to the vicinity of the docks in Winchester Bay with a mooring and turning basin 10 feet deep, 175 feet wide, and 300 feet long at the inner end; at an estimated first cost of $44,000 with $1,000 annually for maintenance; subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (S. Doec. No. 191, 77th Cong., 2d sess.). Local cooperation.-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 consid- ered adequate for present commerce. Operations and resdts during fisal year- ainteance.-Govern- ment dredges removed 313,610 cubic yards from the bar and entrance channel, and 126,127 cubic yards from the'river channel at a cost of $27,120.30. Total costs for the fiscal year including surveys were $32,429.28 all for maintenance from regular fund. Expenditures were $31,420.80. Condition at 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 north jetty was reconstructed in 1942 and is in good condition. 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. The controlling depth along the entrance range was 10 feet. In the channel from the entrance to Reedsport and turning basin at Reedsport the controlling depth was 141/ feet. The total cost of work under the existing project has been $3,797,- 731.50 of which $2,388,706.06 was for new work and $1,409,025.44 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 from the town of Yaquina to Toledo, about 9 miles. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. 558155-44-pt. 1, vol. 2--37 1624 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.I S. ARMY, 1943 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, in- cluding $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. 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. The Port of Toledo has a public wharf in Depot Slough, at Toledo, with frontage of about 600 feet. The city of Toledo also has a public wharf of about 50 feet frontage on Depot Slough built to accommodate small motorboats. There are also at Toledo two pri- vately owned slips having special facilities for transferring lumber to lighters. These terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted 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 channel 100 feet wide at mean lower low water. Total costs and expenditures under the existing project have been $96,699.41; of which $28,800 was for new work and $67,899.41 for main- tenance, not including $43,200 for new work and $3,000 for mainte- nance from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1944. The sum of $12,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging between Yaquina and Toledo, by contract or Government plant, December 1944.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1625 6. YAQUINA BAY AND HARBOR, OREG. Location.-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.) Previous 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 in length and the south jetty to be 5,800 feet in length; for a spur jetty on the channel side of the south jetty 4,700 feet from its sea end, 800 feet in length, to deepen the channel across the inner bar between the jetties; for five groins channelward from the south jetty; for the removal of subaqueous rock from the reef between the jetties, to secure a depth of 20 feet at mean lower low water in the entrance; and for a channel 200 feet wide and 18 feet deep from the entrance to the abandoned railroad terminus at 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 sev- eral years. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of the south jetty. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 14,1880 For improvement of the entrance . ........ Annual Report, 1881, p. 2589.

ARMY, 1943 Recommended modifieations of project.-Under date of June 19, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide, insofar as the rock bottom will allow, for a channel 26 feet deep, and of suitable width across the entrance bar, for a channel 20 feet deep and 300 feet wide from the outer end of the jetties upstream a distance of about 2 miles, and for a turning basin 22 feet deep, 1,000 feet wide, and 1,200 feet long, all at an esti- mated cost for new work of $162,000, with $50,000 annually for main- tenance in addition to the amount now required; subject to certain conditions of local cooperation. (S. Doc. No. 119, 77th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-Newport has a public wharf with 400 feet of frontage for the handling of vessel cargoes. In addition the Port of Newport maintains about 500 feet of float landings for use of small sea- going fishing vessels. At Yaquina there is a wharf with a frontage of about 50 feet. There are no publicly owned terminals at Yaquina. The existing terminals are considered adequate for the present com- merce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographic surveys were made by Government plant and hired labor. Total costs for the fiscal year were $1,900.16 all for maintenance from regular funds. Expenditures were $433.01. Condition at end of fiscal War.-The existing project was completed in 1940. Restoration of the present jetties was completed in 1934 and both jetties are in good condition. A survey of June 1943 shows a controlling depth of 20 feet on the bar and between the jetties. In the bay channel at Newport the con- trolling depths was 18 feet. Total costs for the existing project have been $2,492,962.76 of which $1,645,589.30 was for new work and $847,373.46 for maintenance. Total expenditures have been $2,491,505.61.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1925, provided that no work is to be done in the Hobsonville Channel until assurance is given that a mill of substantial capacity will be erected in the vicinity of Hobsonville. This condition has not been complied with. All other prescribed conditions of local cooperation have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Tillamook has about 1,000 feet of wharves fronting on Hoquarten Slough, all privately owned. At Garibaldi there is a privately owned wharf and a publicly owned float landing suitable for small boats. These facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $1,392.89, all for maintenance from regular funds. Expenditures were $2,460.41. 1630 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Colnditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 98 percent completed. The jetty was completed in 1933 and is in poor condition with about 800 feet at the outer end below water level. A survey of June 1942 shows an entrance controlling depth of 15 feet, 12 feet in the bay channel to Miami Cove and 8 feet in the channel to Hobson- ville. The remaining work required to complete the project is the dredging of the Hobsonville channel and turning basin, which work will not be done until navigation requires deeper water. Costs under the existing project have been $1,446,324.19; of which $574,446.78 was for new work and $871,877.41 for maintenance, not including $398,832.70 for new work and $6,450 for maintenance from contributed funds.

It enters the United States in northeastern Washington, flows southerly to the mouth of Snake River, thence westerly between Oregon and Washington, and empties into the Pacific Ocean 645 miles north of San Francisco Bay and 160 miles south of the Straits of Juan de Fuca. The total length of the river is 1.210 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5902, 6151, 6152, 6153, 6154, 6155, and 6156; also Geological Survey map of Washington.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884. For further details see page 1999 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1740 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel across the bar 40 feet deep at mean lower low water and of suitable width (not less than one-half mile), to be secured by dredging and by converging rubble-mound jetties, the south jetty being about 7 miles and the north jetty about 21/2 miles long, terminating 2 miles north of the end of the south jetty. Mean lower low water is the plane of refer- ence. The tidal range on the bar between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme tidal range is about 13 feet. The estimate of cost for new work was as follows: For the south jetty extension revised in 1909, $8,014,164; for the north jetty, revised in 1913, $5,966,573; and for remodeling and operating the dredge, made in~ 1905, $250,000; a total of $14,230,737, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1928) approved esti- mate for annual cost of maintenance is $6,500, to cover the cost of hydrographic surveys only. Jetty maintenance is done only at 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 con- struction of the north jetty, and dredging (H. Doc. No. 94, 56th Cong., 1st sess., and Annual Report for 1903, p. 2275). The construction of the north jetty was approved July 29, 1910, and a modification of its alinement December 27, 1913. The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1921 opposite page 1868. Local cooperation.-The existing project contains no conditions re- quiring local cooperation. However, during 1914 the port of Portland contributed $475,000 and the port of Astoria $25,000 to this improve- ment. These amounts have been expended, the greater part having been applied to the purchase of stone for the north jetty. Terninal facilities.-Forterminal and transfer facilities see report on Columbia and lower Willamette Rivers. Operations and results durig fiscal year.-Maintenance operations consisted of topographic and hydrographic surveys and repairs to sand fences along CIatsop Spit. 1632 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Total costs for the fiscal year were $8,270.65, all for maintenance from regular funds. Expenditures were $7,504.96. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1918. The north jetty is in good condition. The south jetty is in good condition for a distance of about 8,000 feet west of the knuckle. The outer 300 feet of jetty A has subsided and is in need of repair. The channel eastward of the ends of the jetties had 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 was available. B3etween the ends of the jetties the channel depth was 50 feet. A draft of 35 feet is practicable at mean lower low water under ordinary conditions. The total costs under the existing project have been $20,965,666.55 of which $11,357,506.35 was for new work and $9,- 608,160.20 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $20,963,931.15. In addition, $475,000 and $25,000 were contributed by the ports of Portland and Astoria, respectively, and expended for new work.

SKIPANON CHANNEL, OREG. Location.-This channel is a tidal waterway extending south 2.7 miles from deep water in Columbia River. The channel enters the Columbia about 10 miles above its mouth and 4 miles below Astoria, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing 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. 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 habor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 July 3, 1930 Channel from deep water in the Columbia River H. Doc.

Before adoption of the project, local interests and the port of Astoria constructed timber bulkheads and dredged the channel at a total cost of about $560,000. 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 con- sidered adequate for the present commerce. 1634 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredg- ing of the channel between the Columbia River and Warrenton was done by Government plant and hired labor, a total of 390,194 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost of $31,356.99. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $1,215.99. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $32,572.98 all for maintenance. Condition at end of fscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939. The controlling depths were 30 feet in the channel and 27 feet in the turning basin opposite Youngs Bay Lumber Co. mill, thence 13 feet to railroad bridge at Warrenton. Above the railroad bridge, a depth of 6 feet prevails. Total costs and expenditures of the existing project have been $281,596.68 of which $130,119.35 was for new work and $151,477.33 for maintenance. Proposedoperations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1943, amount- ing to $25,733.12, will be applied to maintenance dredging, by Govern- ment plant and hired labor, May, 1944. The additional sum of $30,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging of the channel by Govern- ment plant and hired labor, May 1945.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1635 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 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.-There are no public terminals or wharves. The Pacific Power & Light Co. owns a wharf, about 300 feet long, which it operates in connection with its power plant, located about one-half mile below the highway bridge across the upper end of Youngs Bay. Above this highway bridge there is a small privately owned wharf, used in connection with the handling of quarry stone by barges. There is also a fish-receiving wharf and warehouse on the Astoria side of Youngs Bay, located just above the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad bridge, and a log dump on the south side of Youngs Bay, just above the highway bridge. The existing terminals are con- sidered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Costs and ex- penditures were $37.07 for maintenance. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1938. A controlling depth of 8 feet prevailed in a channel 150 feet wide below the highway bridge with project dimensions to Haven Island. The head of navigation is 1/2 miles above Haven Island, and the controlling depth in the latter section is about 4 feet at mean lower low water. Total cost and expenditures of the existing project have been $9,566.58; of which $9,347.51 was for new work and $219.07 for maintenance. Proposedoperations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1943 amount- ing to $7,433.42 were revoked July 1, 1943. No work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1944. The sum of $4,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging, by contract, May 1945.

COLUMBIA AND LOWER WILLAMETTE RIVERS BELOW VAN- COUVER, WASH., AND PORTLAND, OREG. Location.-This project embraces 1031/2 miles of Columbia River below Vancouver, Wash., and 14 miles of Willamette River below Portland, Oreg. For description of Columbia River see page 1631, and of Willamette River, page 1645. Previous projects.-Some relief dredging was done between 1866 and 1876. Projects were adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 18, 1878; July 13, 1892; June 13, 1902; and March 3, 1905. For further details see pages 1995 and 1998 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1746 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 35 feet deep and 500 feet wide in the Columbia River from its mouth to the mouth of the Willamette, 99 miles, and thence up the Willamette to Portland, about 14 miles; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the Columbia River from the mouth of the Willamette River to the interstate highway bridge at Vancouver, Wash., about 5 miles, with two turning basins of same depth at Vancouver, 800 feet wide and approximately 2,000 and 3,000 feet long for the upper and lower basins, respectively, and auxiliary channels 10 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the vicinity of Cathlamet, Wash.; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in St. Helens (Oreg.) Channel, and 30 feet deep and 500 feet wide connecting the upper end of the St. Helens Channel with the main ship channel of the Columbia; 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide along the frontage of the town of Rainier, Oreg., extended at its upper and lower ends to deep water in the Co- lumbia River, and for the construction of stone and pile dikes and revetments. The existing project also provides for maintenance to not to exceed 35 feet depth at low water, over such areas in the Wil- lamette River between its mouth and the Broadway Bridge, Portland, as have been dredged by the port of Portland, no dredging to be done within 50 feet of the pierhead lines. The plane of reference in the estuary, from the mouth to Harrington Point, is mean lower low water; thence, to Portland and Vancouver, low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth of the Columbia is about 8 feet, and at Port- land and Vancouver about 21/2 feet at low stages of the rivers. Ex- treme tidal ranges are about 13 and 3 feet, respectively. Annual freshets have but little effect on depths at the mouth of the Columbia; at Portland and Vancouver they average about 20 feet, while the highest known reached a stage of 33 feet above low water. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1637 The estimate of cost for new work, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, revised in 1937, was $3,929,000, including the dike construction authorized in 1912 and 1922, and for a channel 35 feet deep by 500 feet wide, but not including $2,500 contributed toward the auxiliary channel at Rainier, the work contributed by the port of Portland, nor the estimate of $750,000 for a new dredge au- thorized by Congress in 1922 for better maintenance, nor enlarge- ment of the channel from the mouth of the Willamette to Vancouver, authorized by the act of March 3, 1925, estimated to cost $123,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $817,100.

S. ARMY, 1943 Recommended modifications of project.--Under date of June 5, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide for a channel 8 feet deep and 150 feet wide from this depth in Columbia River through the old mouth of Cowlitz River to a point approximately 3,000 feet upstream from the present terminus of the harbor line at an estimated first cost of $12,000, with $2,000 annually for maintenance, in addition to that now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 341, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Under date of October 22, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to provide for an auxiliary channel from the Longview Port dock downstream along the pier- head line and past the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co.'s plant at Longview to a connection with the main ship channel below Mount Coffin, the downstream 2,400 feet of this channel to be 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide and the remainder to be 28 feet deep and 250 feet wide, all at an estimated first cost of $81,000 with $8,000 annually for maintenance in addition to the amount now required; subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 630, 77th Cong., 2d sess.). Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-At Portland, Oreg., there are under public ownership 3 terminals for general cargo. There is 1 drydock of 10,000 tons and another of 15,000 tons capacity, both under public ownership and operation. Under private ownership, but open to the public on equal terms, are 11 general cargo, 5 grain and flour, 6 lum- ber, 1 cement, and 9 crude-oil and gasoline terminals, besides out- fitting. and storage wharves. At Astoria, Oreg., there is a large municipal terminal with grain elevator and flour mill. There are also private wharves used for shipment of canned salmon, lumber, and flour, and for the receiving of coal, oil, and general merchandise. At Vancouver, Wash., there are two municipal terminal wharves. There are also privately owned wharves for shipment of lumber and other commodities, and a privately owned grain elevator and wharf. At Kalama, Wash., there is a municipal wharf for shipment of lumber. The Port of Longview has a public terminal on the Columbia River at Longview, Wash., and the Long-Bell Lumber Co. and Weyer- haeuser Timber Co. have wharves in the same vicinity for the ship- ment of lumber. At other small towns on the Columbia River between Portland and Astoria there are sufficient private facilities to accommodate the river steamers, and at seven points there are large sawmill docks used entirely for the shipment of lumber in ocean-going carriers. These facilities, with the planned extensions, are considered ade- quate for the present needs of commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 11, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-With regular funds maintenance dredging was done with Government plant and hired plant in all bars and channels where surveys iudicated considerable shoaling. A total of 6,356,857 cubic yards was removed, at a cost of $573,055.01. Other maintenance work consisted of maintenance and construc- tion of pile dikes, by contract, at a cost of $39,526.50; removal of piling RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1639 and snags by hired labor at a cost of $2,158.47; hydrographic and tidal surveys, at a cost of $40,068.80. Costs for the fiscal year were $654,808.78. Ependitures were $636,388.92. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939; the channel project was completed in 1933, except that a chan- nel revision at Harrington Point was made in 1935; the dikes were completed 1935, and the extension of Vancouver turning basin was completed in 1939. The channel is in good condition. A draft of 30 feet is practicable at low tide throughout the year and at high tide a draft of 33 feet is available. In the Columbia River below the mouth of the Willam- ette River the least depth referred to low-water datum at end of June 30, 1943, was 31 feet. Above the mouth of the Willamette River the Vancouver Channel has a controlling depth of 30 feet. In the Willamette River a depth of 33 feet at low water is available.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1641 13. WESTPORT SLOUGH, OREG. Location.-Westport Slough is a side channel of the Columbia River located about 70 miles below Portland, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6152.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 28 feet deep and generally 200 feet wide, from deep water in the Columbia River to the ferry dolphin immediately downstream from the Westport Lum- ber Co. wharf, a distance of about 3,500 feet. Low water is the plane of reference. The average tidal range during low-water conditions in the Colum- bia River is about 5 feet. The estimated cost for new work made in 1937 was $16,300. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 79, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation.-Conditionsof local cooperation, requiring local interests to provide suitable spoil-disposal areas and to dredge and maintain a channel 28 feet deep and 150 feet wide from the ferry dolphin to the upper end of the Westport Lumber Co. wharf, are being complied with. Spoil-disposal areas have been furnished and approved by the Chief of Engineers November 26, 1938. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal is the privately owned wharf of the Westport Lumber Co. There is no need at present for additional terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging of the channel between the Columbia River and Westport Lumber Co.'s wharf was done by Government plant and hired labor. A total of 40,914 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost of $4,992.68. Total costs and expenditures were $5,001.18, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. The channel is in good condition with a controlling depth of 27 feet in a channel 200 feet wide. The total costs and ex- penditure to June 30, 1943, have been $29,435.30; of which $16,276.19 was for new work and $13,159.11 for maintenance. Proposedoperations.-The funds unexpended June 30,1943 amount- ing to $1,864.70 were revoked July 1, 1943. No work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1944. The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging with Government plant and hired labor, September 1944.

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

Local cooperation.-Theexisting project contains no conditions re- quiring local cooperation. The Columbia Agricultural Co. and the citizens of Clatskanie, however, subscribed funds which were expended in dredging a cut-off of project width and depth and approximately 1,000 feet long across a bend near the mouth of the river and in other dredging in Clatskanie River and Beaver Slough. Terminal facilities.-A wharf and a warehouse at Clatskanie are owned by a transportation company. On Beaver Slough there are RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1643 five private wharves which have regular steamboat service. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during ftscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1924. The channel is in fair condition with a controlling depth of 3 feet at low water. Total costs and expenditures for the existing project have been $53,719.50; of which $3,703.34 was for new work and $50,016.16 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1944. The sum of $8,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging, by contract, September and October 1944.

MULTNOMAH CHANNEL, OREG. Location.-Multnomah Channel, formerly known as Willamette Slough, is a back channel 22 miles long connecting the Columbia River near the town of St. Helens, Oreg., with the Willamette River at the north boundary of the city of Portland, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6154.) Existing project.-This provides for the removal of sunken logs throughout the waterway; for a channel at the Columbia end 300 feet wide and 25 feet deep, extending for a distance of about 5,000 feet; and for a channel at the Willamette end 250 feet wide and 25 feet deep, extending for a distance of about 9,500 feet. Low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at St. Helens is about 3 feet at low stages of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, and the extreme range about 31/2 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1932, was $20,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,300. The existing project was authorized by the Public Works Admin- istration February 15, 1935, and by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 47, 72d Cong., 1st sess.) The latest published map is contained in the project document. 1644 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Terminal facilities.-At the north end of the channel about 4,000 feet above St. Helens, Oreg., the St. Helens Pulp & Paper Co. has a wharf with 500 feet frontage. The St. Helens creosoting plant at the mouth of Scappoose Bay on Multnomah Channel has a mooring place for tankers of moderate draft. Near the south end of the channel the quay wharf of the B. F. Johnson Lumber Co., 300 feet in length, is the only terminal used for making ocean shipments. Other facili- ties on the channel consist of extensive log booms parallel with the banks in several places, and used for the rafting and temporary storage of logs. All the existing facilities are privately owned and are suffi- cient for the present traffic. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935. The controlling depth was 24 feet in a channel width of 250 feet at the south end and 25 feet in a channel width of 300 feet at the north end. Depths in the remainder of this channel vary from 8 to 50 feet. A draft of 22 feet is practicable at low water at each end of the channel, and in the balance of the channel depths are sufficient to accommodate river steamers. The total costs and ex- penditures to June 30, 1943, have beei $18,173.61; of which $18,112.28 was for new work, and $61.33 was for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1943, amounting to $9,938.67 were revoked July 1, 1943. No work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1944. The sum of $20,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging and snag removal, with Gov- ernment plant and hired labor, October 1944.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1645 16. WILLAMETTE RIVER ABOVE PORTLAND, AND YAMHILL RIVER. OREG. Location.-The Willamette River rises in the Cascade Range in southwestern Oregon, flows northerly, and empties into the Colum- bia River about 100 miles from the sea. Its length from the source of the Middle Fork is about 294 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geo- detic Survey Chart No. 6155 and the U. S. Geological Survey Map, State of Oregon.) The Yamhill River rises in the Coast Range, flows easterly, and empties into the Willamette River about 42 miles above Portland. Its length from the source of the South Fork is about 52 miles. Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3,1871, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1997 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1754 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for improvement of Willamette River between Portland (14 miles above the mouth) and Oregon City (26 miles above the mouth) by a channel 8 feet deep at low water, 200 feet wide below Cedar Island, and 150 feet wide thence to Oregon City; and for a channel 21/2 to 31/2 feet deep at low water and of no prescribed width from Oregon City to Corvallis (132 miles above the mouth); by snagging between Corvallis and' Harrisburg (163 miles above the mouth); by the removal of Copeleys Rock, 9 miles above Portland, and by necessary dredging, snagging, dike, and revetment work between Portland and Corvallis. The project also provides for a channel in Yamhill River 4 feet deep at low water and 60 feet wide from its mouth to McMinnville (18 miles) to be secured by means of a lock and dam near Lafayette and the removal of obstruc- tions. The section of Willamette River in the vicinity of Willamette Falls at Oregon City is covered by a project described on page 1649 of this report. The following table shows the principal features of the lock and dam in Yamhill River: Location: 11/2 miles below Lafayette, Oreg., 8 miles above the mouth. Usable lock dimensions: One lock 175 by 38 feet. Lift of lock: 16 feet. Depth on sills at low water: 4 feet on upper sill; 2 feet on lower sill. Character of foundation: Timber piling in clay. Kind of dam: Fixed. Type of construction: Timber crib. Date of completion: September 21, 1900. Cost: $72,164.83. For the Willamette River below the falls at Oregon City ordinary fluctuation of stage of water is 15 feet and the extreme fluctuation due to flood conditions 35 to 50 feet. Above Oregon City the ordi- nary fluctuation is 12 to 20 feet and the extreme is 20 to 27 feet. For the Yamhill River the ordinary fluctuation is 35 feet and the extreme 48 feet. Tidal changes vary from about 21/ feet at the mouth of the Willamette to zero 26 miles above the mouth. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1930, was $459,300, exclusive of the amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1932) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $84,000, including $4,000 for operation and care of the lock and dam in Yam- hill River. 1646 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 The Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, in addition to pro- viding for certain flood-control works, included therein a provision for such channel improvement and contraction works as may be neces- sary to secure, with the stream-flow regulations, controlling depths of 6 feet to the mouth of the Santiam River (109 miles above the mouth) and 5 feet to Albany (120 miles above the mouth); and for the reconstruction and enlargement of the locks at Oregon City (Willa- mette River at Willamette Falls). For information concerning the comprehensive flood-control plan for Willamette River Basin, see page 1699.

Terminal facilities.-Between Portland and Willamette Falls the terminals are privately owned mill wharves and oil-receiving stations. Above the falls there are small wharves privately owned or natural landings. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. * Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging, snagging, and other maintenance operations resulted in maintaining project depths of 8 feet at low water to Oregon City and 31/2 feet at low water between Oregon City and Albany. A project depth of 4 feet was maintained on the Yamhill River between the mouth and the Yamhill lock. Due to the controlling depth of 2 feet at low water on the lower miter sill at the Yamhill lock only 2 foot depth was maintained between the lock and McMinnville. Costs of the various items of maintenance during the year were as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1647 Dredging, by hired plant, 182,470 cubic yards------------------- $82, 678. 23 Dredging, by Government plant, 285,724 cubic yards--------------- 58, 922. 55 Snagging, by hired labor, 120 snags--------------------- 1083. ,----- 89 Operation and care of Yamhill lock---- --- --------------- 745. 35 6------, Hydrographic surveys ----------------------------------------- 25, 134. 65 Total ----------------------------------- 174, 564. 67 Total costs for the fiscal year were $174,564.67 of which $167,819.32 was for maintenance and $6,745.35 for operation and care, all from regular funds. Expenditures were $168,185.12. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939. The controlling depths at low water on the upper Willamette River, were, 8 feet from Portland to Oregon City (mile 26); 31/2 feet from Oregon City to Albany (mile 120); 1 foot from Albany to Cor- vallis (mile 132); and on the Yamhill River a depth of 4 feet from the mouth to the Yamhill lock, and 2 feet from the lock to McMinn- ville. Traffic above Oregon City is confined to log rafts, tow boats and occasional launches. Between Albany and Corvallis the river is nav- igable only at its higher stages. The high water of the 1942-43 season caused considerable damage to channel alignment and adjacent banks at several points along the river which will require correction by chan- nel rectification to stabilize course of river and control navigable chan- nel. The Yamhill lock and grounds are in fair condition but the wooden portion of the dam is in poor condition and will need repairs in the near future. The total costs under the existing project, including $35,936.42 for operation and care, have been $3,005,626.74, of which $449,606.35 was for new work and $2,556,020.39 for maintenance. Expenditures have 'been $2,874,359.26. In addition, the sum of $106,433.23 was expended between September 24, 1900, and June 30, 1935, on the operaticn and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appro- priation for such purposes.

WILLAMETTE RIVER AT WILLAMETTE FALLS, OREG. Location.--The locks and dam covered by this project are located at Willamette Falls, a rocky reef in the Willamette River at Oregon City, Oreg., about 26 miles above the mouth of the river. Existing project.-This provides for the purchase, rehabilitation, and deepening to 6 feet at low water of the existing canal and locks and the separation of the canal from the water-power intake by the construction of a concrete division wall. The total length of the canal and locks is about 3,500 feet. The following table shows the principal features of the canal and locks at Willamette Falls: Usable lock dimensions: Series of four locks, each 175 by 37 feet.' Lift of each lock: Lock No. 1 (lower), 22.5 feet 2; lock No. 2, 8.7 feet; lock No. 3,10.9 feet; lock No. 4 (upper), 8.1 feet. Depth on miter sills at low water: Lower lock, 8.4 feet; upper lock 6 feet. Character of foundation: Rock. Kind of dam: Fixed.8 Type of construction: Concrete. Year of completion: 1873. Purchased by United States April 26, 1915. Cost: Unknown. Purchase price, $375,000. The ordinary fluctuation of the stage of water above the locks is 12 feet, and the extreme, due to flood conditions, 20 feet. Below the locks the ordinary fluctuation is 15 feet and the extreme 50 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1912, was $680,000. This includes the price paid for the canal and locks. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care, made in 1937, is $36,000. The Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, authorized a project for flood control and navigation of the Willamette River and tribu- taries, including the reconstruction and enlargement of the locks at Oregon City. For information concerning the comprehensive. flood-control plan for Willamette River Basin, see p. 1699. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 'A guard lock 210 by 40 feet, which is used only at higher stages of water, is located at the upper end of the canal basin. 2A concrete division wall, 1,227 feet long, extending from lock No. 4 to the guard lock, separates the upper basin of the canal from the head race, which formerly led directly from the basin and supplied water for the power plants operated by the Crown Willamette Paper Co. and the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. 2 The dam is owned by private parties. 1650 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The Crown Willamette Paper Co. has con- structed a timber wharf about 850 feet in length, extending to and supported by the concrete division wall built in the lock canal by the United States. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Repairs to and general policing and care of the property resulted in continuous service dur- ing the fiscal year except for one short period during high water. The costs for the fiscal year were $118,960.70, all regular funds for opera- tion and care. Expenditures were $114,665.93. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The final report for the purchase and rehabilitation of the canal and locks was given in the Annual Re- port for 1923, when the project was reported 98 percent completed. No further work is considered necessary. The depth over the miter sills is 6 feet at low water. The locks and grounds are in fair condi- tion and are continuously serviceable, except when high water or re- pairs prevent. Expenditures for purchase and rehabilitation of the locks and canal were $677,122.20 of which $300,000 was from con- tributed funds. Costs for operation and care with regular funds have been $492,957.28. Expenditures have been $483,794.62. In addition the sum of $452,109.76 was expended between April 16, 1915, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operation.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1943, includ- ing accounts receivable amounting to $66,600.57 plus $60,000 allotted July 1, 1943, a total of $126,600.57 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable ----------------- ----------------------------- $9, 507. 85 Maintenance (operation and care) : Operation of locks and canal (incliding guards) ------------- 100, 000. 00 Ordinary maintenance and repair ---------- 12, 000. 00 Improvements and reconstruction -- --------- 2, 500. 00 Channel work, by Government plant and hired labor__ ....... 2, 000. 00 Emergencies -------------------------------------------------- 592.72 Total ------------------------------------------------- 126, 600. 57 The additional sum of $120,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG,, DISTRICT 1651 Maintenance (operation and care) : Operation of locks and canal (including guards)---------------- $104, 500 Ordinary maintenance and repair ..--- 14, 000 Channel work, by Government plant and hired labor , 000 1------------- Emergencies--------------------------------------------------- 500 Total 000 1---------------------------- Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1943 ---------------------------- 1$377, 122. 20 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1943 ------- _ 945, 067. 04 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1943 , 322, 189. 24 1----------- Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1943-.... 345. 19 Gross total costs to June 30, 1943 ---- 1, 322, 534. 43 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1943 ..--- 9, 507. 85 Net total, expenditures-------------------------------- 11, 313, 026. 58 ITnexpended balance June 30, 1943 66, 255. 38 Total amount appropriated to June 30. 1943-------- 11, 379, 281. 96 Fiscal year ending June 30 1939 1940 1941 1942 1943 Cost of new work_-- Cost of maintenance__------ $35, 629. 88 $44, 953.01 $90, 899. 26 $92, 772. 34 $118, 960. 70 Total expended---------------- 35, 504. 40 44, 222. 65 91,968. 26 90, 395. 87 114, 665. 93 Allotted_ .---------------------- 39, 300. 00 95, 500. 00 60, 000. 00 99, 250. 00 108, 000. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1942------------------------------- $72, 921. 31 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appro- priation Act approved June 24, 1940-------------$19, 166. 39 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appro- priation Act approved May 23, 1941--------------- 23, 912. 35 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appro- priation Act approved June 2, 1943 ---------------- 60, 000. 00 Amount allotted from Act June 28, 1939----------- 4, 921. 26 108, 000. 00 Amount to be accounted for----------------------------180, 921.31 Gross amount expended-------------------------$115, 486. 25 Less reimbursements collected--------------------- 820. 32 114. - --,-- 665. .. 9 Balance unexpended June 30, 1943_------------------ 66, 255. 38 Outstf anding liabilities June 30, 1943---------------------------- 13, 652. 93 Balance available June 30, 1943------------- ------------- 52, 602. 45 Accou nts receivable June 30, 1943 ------------------------------ 345. 19 Unobligated balance available June 30, 1943------------- 52, 947. 64 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1945, for maintenance 2................................ . 120, 000. 00 SIn addition, $300,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work.

Location.-This improvement consists of the construction of a ship channel between the Interstate Bridge at Vancouver, Wash., and.the 1652 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 deep-draft ship lock at Bonneville Dam, 144 miles above the mouth of the river. For description of Columbia River, see page 1631. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 27 feet deep at low water and 300 feet wide between Vancouver, Wash., and Bonneville, Oreg., 38.8 miles. The lower end of the project is about 105 miles above the mou h of the river. The tidal ra)nge between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at Vancouver is about 21/2 feet and at Bonneville about 0.2 foot at low stages of the river. Extreme tidal ranges are about 3 feet and 0.4 foot, re.pectively. Annual freshets average about 21 feet at Vancouver, while the highest known stage reached 33 feet above low water. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1942, is $3,200,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $200,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved August 26, 1937 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 94, 74th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of March 4, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide a suitable turning basin adjacent to the site of port development in the vicinity of Camas and Washougal, Wash., at an estimated first cost of $45,000 with annual maintenance of $1,000 in addition to the amounts now required; subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 218, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-The only terminal facilities at present avail- able or suitable for ocean vessels on the stretch of the river under the project are at Vancouver, Wash., where there are two municipal wharves. There are also privately owned wharves for shipment of lumber and other commodities and a privately owned grain elevator and wharf at Vancouver, Wash. The Port of Camas-Washougal has constructed a wharf 528 feet in length at Washougal, Wash., which will be available for ocean vessels when adequate channel is provided. These facilities are cqnsidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-With regular funds, operations were as follows: New work.-A total of 1,872 cubic yards of cemented gravel and boulders were removed at mile 10, by contract, at a cost of $4,826.78. Between mile 28.7 and 36.8 a total of 30,367 cubic yards of ledge rock were removed, by contract, at a cost of $156,771.64. Contract drilling and blasting was done at mile 16 (Ough Reef) at a cost of $29,214.05; 400 cubic yards of material were removed at mile 16 above Vancouver, Wash., by hired plant, at a cost of $2,318.50. Maintenance.-A total of 35,664 cubic yards of material was re- moved from the entrance channel to Bonneville ship canal, by con- tract, at a cost of $21,560.33, and 556,396 cubic yards of material were removed from the channel, by Government plant and hired labor, at a cost of $52,869.31. At Government Island (mile.10) and 2.6 miles above Vancouver, Wash., 3,157.5 cubic yards of stone were delivered, by contract, and placed as bank protection, by Government plant and hired labor, at a cost of $65,486.04. Repairs to dikes were made at a RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1653 cost of $137.72. Hydrographic surveys cost $13,738.92. Total costs for the fiscal year were $346,923.29; of which $193,130.97 was for new work and $153,792.32 for maintenance. Expenditures were $367,441.17. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 99 percent complete. The controlling depth of the channel between Vancouver, Wash., and Bonneville, Oreg., was 20 feet at low water. During the summer freshet the controlling depth is increased to a range of 33 to 38 feet. The remaining work required to complete the project, all of which has been deferred for the duration of the war, consists of the removal of 3,100 cubic yards of rock reef at mile 10, dredging and disposal of 28,000 cubic yards of blasted material at mile 16, and the improvement of the lower entrance to the Bonneville ship canal. Total costs of the existing project have been $2,899,737.52; of which $2,712,793.02 was for new work and $186,944.50 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $2,895,237.08. Proposed operations.--The funds unexpended June 30, 1943, amounting to $16,312.92 plus $60,000 allotted July 1, 1943, a total of $76,312.92 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable---------------------------------------------- $4, 500. 44 Maintenance: Completion of dredging entrance to ship canal at Bonneville, Oreg., by contract, August 1943----------------------------------- 20, 500. 00 Repairs to Gary Island revetment, by contract, October 1943 15, 000. 00 Dredging between Vancouver, Wash., and Bonneville, Oreg., by Government plant and hired labor, April and May 1944-------- 30, 312. 48 Hydrographic surveys, during fiscal year------------------------ 6, 000. 00 Total-------------------------- ------------------------ 76, 312. 92 The additional sum of $659,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 as follows: New work: Removal of 3,100 cubic yards of rock reef at mile 10, by contract, May 1945. _------ _--- $25, 000 Dredging and disposal of 28,000 cubic yards of blasted material at mile 16, by Government plant and hired labor, September 1944 ------------------------------- 14, 000 Improvement of the lower entrance to the Bonneville lock, by contract, April, May, and June 1945 --------------- 400, 000 Total new work ----------------------------------------- $439, 000 Maintenance: Dredging channel Vancouver, Wash., to Bonneville, Oreg., by Government plant and hired labor, April and May 1945 and October 1944 _____----------- 200,000 Repairs to existing pile dikes, by contract, September 1944 --- ------ ------- ----- --- 20, 000 Total maintenance--------------------------------------- 220, 000 Grand total---------------------------- ------------------ 659, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1943---------------------------- $2, 712, 793. 02 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1943-----------------------------186, 944.50 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1943----------- -2, 899, 737. 52 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1943-- ------------------ 4,500. 44 Net total expenditures_-- ------------------- 2, 895, 237. 08 1654 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT BONNEVILLE, OREG. Location.-On the Columbia River, 42 miles east of Portland, Oreg., about 144 miles above the mouth of the river. For descrip- tion of the Columbia River see page 1631. Existing project.-This project provides for a dam, power plant, and lock, for power and navigation. The spillway dam extends across the main river channel from the Washington shore to Brad- ford Island, which divides the river at this point. The overflow crest at 24 feet above mean sea level is surmounted by 18 vertical-lift steel gates placed between piers which extend to elevation 99 feet where a service roadway permits the operation of two 35 0 -ton gantry cranes for regulating the gates. The powerhouse extending across Bradford Slough to the Oregon shore will have an ultimate installation of 10 units, consisting of 2 units of 43,200 kilowatts each and 8 units of 54,000 kilowatts each, totaling 518,400 kilowatts. The ordinary and extreme fluctuations of the river at the lower lock gate are about 21 and 47 feet, respectively. The project includes fish ladders and locks to serve both the main channel and the Bradford Slough channel. The lock and powerhouse are founded on andesite, and the main dam rests upon solidified sedimentary rock of volcanic origin. The pool created by the spill- way dam provides a navigable channel, with depths of 30 feet and over, between Bonneville and Big Eddy, a distance of 47 miles.

There are no dams in the canal. The lower end of the canal is about 4 miles and the lower end of the Threemile Rapids about 11/2 miles above The Dalles, Oreg. The normal pool level at the lower end of the canal has an elevation of 72.5 feet above mean sea level and the highest flood 114.2 feet above mean sea level. At the upper end of the canal the normal freshets are about 18 feet and the maximum rise 33 feet. The canal was designed to operate to a stage of 18 feet at the upper pool and is then "drowned out" until the river recedes to a stage of 18 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1908, was $4,845,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care, made in 1936, is $49,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905 (Annual Report, 1904, p. 3475). Operation and care of the canal were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. For latest published map see Annual Report for 1915, page 3380. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are two warehouses fronting on The Dalles-Celilo Canal, near the lower end, owned by private interests, with a combined capacity of 15,000 tons of wheat. The facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The canal was in service during the entire year except for two short periods, the first, March 16 and 17 of 40 hours, the second, March 20 to 23 of 82 hours, when the canal was closed to traffic below Five-Mile lock to facilitate construc- tion, by hired labor, of a guide wall at the upper entrance to Big Eddy lock. Due to ice blocking the river above and below the canal, there was no through traffic between January 21, and February 3, 1943, although the canal remained in service the entire period.

Project depth of 7 feet is available the entire year with depth of 8 feet available 85 percent of the time. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1943, have been $5,996,- 123.29; of which $4,669,092.23 was for construction of the canal ahd locks, $5,445.17 for maintenance, and $796,318.63 for operation and care. Total expenditures have been $5,462,092.76. In addition the sum of $525,267.16 was expended between May 5, 1915, and June 30, 1935, on operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1667 22. COLUMBIA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES ABOVE CELILO FALLS TO THE MOUTH OF SNAKE RIVER, OREG. AND WASH. Location.-This improvement includes the several rapids in the 123 miles between the head of Celilo Falls and the mouth of Snake River. For brief description of Columbia River see page 1631. (See U. S. Geological Survey Map of Washington.) Prevviou projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 10, 1872, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907. For further details, see page 1992 of Annual Report for 1915; page 1889, Annual Report for 1931; and page 1845, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 7 feet deep and 150 feet wide at low water from Celilo Falls to Wallula, with no specified width or depth between Wallula and the mouth of the Snake. The section included in the project is 123 miles long. The lower end of the project is about 200 miles from the mouth of the river. The sum- mer freshets occur from May to August and the ordinary freshets reach a stage of 21 feet at Umatilla gage. The highest flood (1894) reached a stage of 341/2 feet at'Umatilla. Freshets due to rains usually occur in the early winter, but rarely exceed a 9-foot stage. Ice conditions usually occur in January or February and often sus- pend navigation for several weeks. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $1,475,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $50,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and har- bor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Apr. 8, 1935 Emergency Relief Appropriation Act; authorized Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. the existing project as an emergency relief project. Aug. 30,1935 Adopted existing project as a river and harbor latest No. 16, Cong., 2smaps. (Con- 73dpublished tains latest published map.) project. Recommended modifcations of project.-Under date of January 4, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide an approach channel 6 feet deep at low water from the navigation channel in the Columbia River to the site of port development at Arlington, Oreg., at an estimated first cost of $39,000, with annual maintenance of $2.50 in addition to the amounts now required; subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (S. Doc. No. 28, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Under date of April 30, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to provide for the removal of obstructions in the channel between the Snake River and Kenne- wick, Wash., and for an approach 6 feet deep from the channel in Co- lumbia River., to the site of terminal development at Kennewick, at an estimated first cost of $30,000, with $1,000 annually for maintenance in addition to the amount now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 324, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). 1668 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Terminal facilities.-There is one public wharf on this stretch of the river located at Pasco, Wash. (mile 127.2 above Celilo), and owned by the port of Pasco. A bulk grain elevator of 500,000-bushel capacity, with rail, truck, and water connections, is located adjacent to the wharf at Pasco. Other facilities for handling bulk grain from truck to river craft, but without rail connections, are as follows: Two private ware- houses at Port Kelly (mile 110.6 above Celilo) with capacities of 40,000 and 44,000 bushels; a 340,000-bushel elevator at Umatilla (mile 88 above Celilo), and a 15,000-bushel elevator at Blalock (mile 32 above Celilo). There are privately owned storage facilities for handling petroleun products with capacities and locations as follows: At Pasco, Wash. (mile 127.2 above Celilo), 1,656,000 gallons with rail con- nections; at Attalia (mile 117 above Celilo) 4,421,000 gallons, and at Umatilla, Oreg. (mile 88 above Celilo), 8,175,000 gallons of which 7,263,000 gallons capacity has rail connections. There is a railroad located on each bank of the river, but there is no physical connection between the railroad and the river except as noted. The existing facili- ties are not considered adequate for the present commerce, but addi- tional facilities are being provided as rapidly as economic conditions permit. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Maintenance operations consisted of the removal of 9,979 cubic yards of loose rock, gravel, and boulders from the existing channel, by Government plant and hired labor, at a cost of $23,016.13. Hydrographic surveys of sections of the channel were made by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $55,747.51. The total costs for the fiscal year were $78,763.64, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $76,010.22. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 84 percent completed. The 7-foot channel 150 feet wide has been completed to the foot of Umatilla Rapids except for three shoals, one centered at mile 87.5 above Celilo, where the controlling depth is 6 feet in a 75-foot channel and 5 feet in the 150-foot channel, and one each at mile 83.5 and mile 65, where the controlling depths are 6 feet in the 150-foot channel. The controlling depth between the foot of Umatilla Rapids and Wallula is 6 feet in a 100-foot channel through Umatilla Rapids. Between Wallula and the mouth of the Snake River, the controlling depth is 5 feet for 100-foot width through Homly Rapids. Channel in the pools between the rapids are from 100 to 1,500 feet wide with depths of 5 feet or more. Between the mouth of the Snake River and the mouth of the Yakima River the controlling depth is 6 feet with a minimum width of 200 feet. The work remaining to complete the project consists of excavating the channel to project dimensions through shoals referred to above. The total costs of all work under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year have been $1,366,541.55, of which $1,198,084.43, including $400,000 Emergency Relief funds was for new work and $168,457.12 for maintenance.

SNAKE RIVER, OREG., WASH., AND IDAHO Location.-The Snake River, which is the largest tributary of Co- lumbia River, rises in Yellowstone National Park, in the western part of Wyoming, flows in a general westerly direction for about 1,000 miles and empties into Columbia River near Pasco, Wash., 324 miles from the Pacific Ocean. (See U. S. Geological Survey Maps of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.) Previous projects.-No formal project for, the improvement of Snake River was adopted by Congress prior to the act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1991 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1849 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for general open-river improve- ment by blasting rock reefs, dredging and raking gravel bars, and by construction of contraction works between the mouth and Johnsons Bar, a distance of 232 miles, with a view to securing a depth of 5 feet at low water in the existing channels from the mouth to Riparia; thence a channel of the same depth and generally 60 feet wide to Lewiston, Idaho; and for removing boulders and rock points and con- structing contraction works between Lewiston and Johnsons Bar. No channel dimensions are specified above Lewiston. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1942, is $823,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The revised estimate was made necessary to insure the provision of a navigable channel adequate for the prevailing commerce. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,500. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 13,1902 Improvement of the sections from Riparia to H. Doe. No. 127, 56th Cong., 2d sess.

Aug. 30, 1935 Section from Pittsburg Landing to Johnsons Bar._ Rivers and Harbors Committee Doe. No. 25, 72d Cong., 1st sess. (Con- tains latest published map.) Local cooperation.-No conditions were imposed by law. The Wash- ington State Legislature in 1907 provided $85,000, which was expended by the Federal Government between Riparia, Wash., and the mouth, for general open-river work in accordance with the adopted project. Terminal facilities.-Fromthe mouth to Riparia, 67 miles, there are no wharves or warehouses on the river banks. From Riparia to Lewis- ton. 72 miles, there are no wharves but on the left bank there are RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1671 several wheat warehouses formerly used for storage of wheat to be transferred to the railroad on the right bank. A public elevator of 105,000 bushels capacity and a private elevator of 48,000 bushels capac- ity have been provided at Penawawa, 91.5 miles above the mouth. There is no railroad on the left bank above Riparia. Lewiston, 139 miles above the mouth, owns 4,000 feet of water frontage on the Snake River and has leased 250 feet to a company which operates a warehouse located on the bank of the river, but no part of the structure extends to the low-water line and the boats land on the beach. Asotin, a town 6 miles above Lewiston, has three warehouses on the river bank but no wharves. Above Asotin there are two wheat warehouses, the farthest 11 miles above. These facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-Atotal of 1,142 cubic yards of gravel and boulders was removed from the existing channel between mouth of the river and mile 24, by Government plant and hired labor, at a cost of $8,960.87. Hydrographic maintenance sur- veys were made at a cost of $5,046.96. Total costs for the fiscal year were $14,007.83, all for maintenance from regular funds. Expendi- tures were $16,865.30. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 34 per- cent complete. A survey made in 1934-35 showed the controlling depth to be less than 1 foot between the mouth and Lewiston (140 miles above) and about 2.7 feet between Lewiston and Johnsons Bar (92 miles). The channels below Lewiston are from 150 to 700 feet wide in the pools between rapids and from 30 to 150 feet wide through the rapids. From the mouth to Riparia, on account of crooked and shoal channels through the rapids, commercial navigation has been limited to periods when river stages are above 3 feet, as shown on the Lewiston gage, which permits boats having a draft of about 4 feet to operate as far as Lewiston. The river is above this 3-foot stage about 54 percent of the time. Above Lewiston the channels are from 30 to 100 feet wide at low water. High-powered launches operate continuously in this stretch as far as Johnsons Bar about 92 miles above Lewiston. The work remaining to complete the project is the removal of dangerous rocks above Lewiston and excavating the channel to project dimensions between the mouth and Lewiston. Total costs and expenditures under the existing project have been $470,991.14; of which $281,353.17 was for new work, and $189,637.97 for maintenance. In addition, $85,000 was expended on new work from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1943, amounting to $4,174.32 were revoked July 1, 1943. No work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1944. The sum of $35,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 in maintenance removal of boulders and gravel between the mouth and Lewiston, Idaho, by Government plant and hired labor, July 1944 to June 1945.

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 Ridgefield, 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 facilities 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT .1673 to Ridgefield is 6 feet at low water in a channel 100 feet wide. 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 1944. The sum of $4,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging between the mouth of the river and Ridgefield, by contract, August and September 1944.

LEWIS RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range in Washington, flows westerly and southwesterly 110 miles, and empties into the Co- lumbia River about 88 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6153 and 6154.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1899, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 2001, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1762, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a low-water channel 6 feet deep and 50 feet wide to the mouth of the East Fork (33/4 miles) ; 4 feet deep and 50 feet wide on the East Fork from its mouth to La Center (3 miles); 4 feet deep and 50 feet wide on Lewis River (North Fork) from the East Fork to Woodland (31/2 miles), to be secured by dredg- ing and by the construction of regulating works and for clearing the channel to Ariel (16 miles above Woodland). The maximum varia- tion of water level due to tides ranges from about 3 feet at the mouth to 11/2 feet at La Center and zero 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, exclu- sive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Doc. No. 28, 62d Cong., 1st.sess.). For latest pub- lished map see page 3557 of Annual Report for 1904. 1674 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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 y('ar.-The existing project was completed in 1927. The channel is in poor condition. The controlling depth is 2 feet to Woodland and 1 foot to La Center. Total costs and expend- itures have been $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 1944. The sum of $6,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging and snagging, by Government plant and hired labor, September 1944.

COWLITZ RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range in Washington, flows westerly and southerly about 120 miles, and empties into the Columbia River about 69 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6153.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details see page 2000 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1763 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 4 feet deep at low water and 50 feet wide from the mouth to Ostrander (9 miles), thence 21/2 feet deeep and 50 feet wide to Castle Rock (10 miles), and thence 2 feet deep at low water and not less than 40 feet wide to Toledo (18 miles), to be secured by snagging, dredging, and regulating works. The water level, due to tides, varies from 4 feet at the mouth to zero RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1675 at Ostrander. During ordinary freshets a stage of 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 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. 401, 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 limited 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 considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1913. Project dimensions generally prevail from the mouth to Castle Rock, but some dredging will be required to restore project depths. The controlling depth above Castle Rock is 1 foot. Total costs and expenditures for the existing project have been $235,372.76; of which $32,907.62 was for new work and $202,465.14 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are 'available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1944. The sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance as follows: Maintenance: Dredging between the mouth and mile 21, by contract and Govern- ment plant and hired labor, July to October 1944------------- $10, 000 Snagging between the mouth and Castle Rock, fiscal year 1945- 3, 000 Hydrographic surveys, fiscal year 1945-------------------------- 2, 000 Total- -------------------- 15, 000 Cost and ftnancial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1943--------------------------- $37, 906. 62 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1943--------------------------- 250, 649. 07 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1943---------------288, 555. 69 Net total expenditures_------------ --- 288, 555. 69 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1943----------------------- 288, 555. 69 Fiscal year ending June 30 1939 1940 1941 1942 1943 Cost of new work .... . .. _ - .- -... ..... ........

ELOKOMIN SLOUGH, WASH. Location.-This slough is a side channel of the Columbia River, about 31/2 miles in length, located on the Washington side about 75 miles below Portland, Ore. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6152.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 10 feet deep and 100 feet wide extending from that depth in Columbia River near the easterly end of the slough to the existing terminals near the mouth of Elokomin River, a distance of about 1/2 miles, with suitable turning basin of the same depth at the inner end. Low water is the plane of reference. The average tidal range during low-water conditions in the Columbia River is about 5 feet. The estimated cost for new work, made in 1937, was $16,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 510, 74th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in that document. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The only terminals are the privately owned wharves of Crown Willamette Paper Co. and International Wood Products Co. There is no present need for additional terminals. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed iii 1939. The channel is in fair condition, but some di-edging will be necessary to restore project dimensions. Total costs and expenditures have been $19,078.74; of which $18,641.25 was for new work and $437.49 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated for the fiscal year 1944. The sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging from deep water in the Columbia River to near the mouth of Elokomin Slough,,by contract, May and June 1945.

SKAMOKAWA CREEK, WASH. Location.-This creek rises in Wahkiakum County, in the south- western part of the State of Washington, flows southwesterly and southerly about 10 miles, and empties into the Columbia River about 34 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6152.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 61/2 feet deep at low water and 75 feet wide between Steamboat and Brooks Sloughs, about 1,600 feet. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 7 feet and the maximum variation of water level due to tides or freshets is about 12 feet. During ordinary fresh- ets a stage of 9 feet and at extreme floods a stage of 12 feet is reached in the creek at Skamokawa, Wash. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1919, was $2,400. The latest (1925) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919 (H. Doc. No. 111, 63d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Terminal facilities.-There are three privately owned wharves, one on Steamboat Slough and two above Brooks Slough, used for general freight and passenger purposes, and these are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1920. The channel is in fair condition and project dimen- sions generally prevail but some dredging will be necessary to restore project dimensions. Total costs and expenditures have been $31,- 743.57; of which $2,400 was for new work and $29,343.57 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated for the fiscal year 1944.

DEEP RIVER, WASH. Location.--This river is mainly a tidal slough of Grays Bay, Wash., an estuary on the north side of the Columbia River, about 20 miles from the mouth. The slough extends northerly about 4 miles from the northern end of Grays Bay, and the section above the head of the slough has several small tributaries. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water, 100 feet wide through the bars at the mouth of the river and the entrance thereto, and 60 feet wide in the river up to the town of Deep River. The tidal range at the mouth, between mean lower low water and mean higher high water, is about 8 feet and the extreme range about 13 feet. During ordinary freshets a stage of 9 feet and at extreme floods a stage of 14 feet is reached in the river at the town of Deep River, Wash. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1927, was $18,200. The latest (1924) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $2,400. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1925 (H. Doc. No. 218, 68th Cong., 1st sess.). There is no published map. Terminal facilities.-There is one privately owned wharf at the town of Deep River for general freight and passenger purposes which is considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1928. The channel is in fair condition and project depths and width generally prevail, but some dredging will be necessary to restore project dimensions. Total costs and expenditures have been $27,820.06; of which $15,384.40 was for new work and $12,435.66 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated for the fiscal year 1944. 1680 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT BAKERS BAY, WASH. Location.-Bakers (Baker) Bay is a shallow body of water about 15 square miles in extent lying on the north side of the Columbia River near its mouth. The bay is separated from the river by Sand Island, a low-lying sand bar only a few feet above high-tide level. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 10 feet deep and 200 feet wide extending through the easterly passage at Sand Island to the port of Ilwaco, a distance of about 5 miles. 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 for new work, revised in 1934, was $80,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $6,000. The existing project was authorized by the Public Works Admin- istration December 11, 1933, and the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 44, 73d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Recommended modifications of project.-Underdate of July 7, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to provide for a west channel, 8 feet deep at mean lower low water, 200 feet wide for a distance of 2,000 feet at the southerly end, thence 150 feet wide, extending on such route as may be found advisable, from deep water in Columbia River to the existing project channel in Baker Bay, a total distance of about 3 miles, at a first cost of $170,000 with annual maintenance of $10,000 in addition to that now required (H. Doc. No. 443, 76th Cong. 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-Terminals have been constructed at Ilwaco along Holman Waterway, 200 feet wide by 3,000 feet in length and RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1681 on a dredged basin 400 by 1,000 feet. The facilities consist of wharves, floats, ramps, and berths for oil barges and oil boats. The facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging with regular funds was done, by Government plant and hired labor, a total of 460,840 cubic yards of material were removed to restore project dimensions, at a cost of $34,885.10. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $965.22. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $35,850.32, all from regular funds for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1934. The channel is in good condition and project dimensions obtain. Total costs have been $156,577.47 of which $78,577.47 (Public Work funds) was for new work and $78,000 for maintenance, from regular funds. Expenditures have been $156,577.47. Proposed operations.-The funds allotted July 1, 1943, a total of $274,000, will be applied to maintenance dredging, by Government plant and hired labor, June 1944. The additional sum of $30,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging in channel between Ilwaco and the east end of Sand Island, by contract May and June 1945.

COLUMBIA RIVER BETWEEN CHINOOK, WASH., AND THE HEAD OF SAND ISLAND Location.-At the easterly end of Bakers (Baker) Bay, which is on the north side of the Columbia River near its mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 8 feet deep and 150 feet wide, extending from the head of Sand Island to Chinook, Wash., a distance of about 4,000 feet, and the reinforcement and future main- tenance of the existing pile and timber breakwater at Chinook. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between 1682 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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. Terrnialfacilities.-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.-Maintenance dredging of, the channel was done by Government plant and hired laber; a total of 68,200 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $7,000, which was the total cost and expenditure for the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1940. Repairs to the breakwater were completed in 1939 and channel dredging in 1940. At the end of the fiscal year the channel was in good condition. Controlling depth of 8 feet prevailed in channel width of 150 feet. Total costs and expenditures have been $57,500; of which $40,000 was for new work and $17,500 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1944. The sum of $8,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredg- ing, by Government plant and hired labor, June 1945.

Location.-Near Walla Walla, Wash., on Mill Creek, a tributary of the Walla Walla River. Existing project.-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 Merriam 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 capacity, is a rolled earth fill structure 145 feet high, 3,200 feet long at the crest, and 800 feet wide at the base. Floodwater 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. 1686 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 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, Yellowhawk, 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 approved 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.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year---New work.-Stripping, filling, and compaction of the reservoir floor as a correction to seepage was carried out during the year. Detailed design for a toe drain for the earth-fill dam and auxiliary outlet channel were completed during the year. IMaintenance.-Normal maintenance of the dam and reservoir was continued throughout the fiscal year, but the need for use of the dam as designed did not occur during the period. Total costs for the fiscal year were $48,417.54; of which $30,884.29 was for new work and $17,533.25 for maintenance, all from regular funds. Expenditures were $49,257.26. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the dam and ap- purtenant works was completed in 1942. Corrective measures have been taken to prevent reservoir seepage, but additional work will be necessary for the operation of the project as designed. The remain- ing work required to complete the project consists of the construction of an outlet channel, construction of a toe drain for the earth-fill dam, lining with concrete the existing channel to Mill Creek, and the recon- struction of two bridges across Mill Creek. The reconstruction of the bridges has been deferred for the duration of the war. Total costs have been $1,395,048.20; of which $1,371,643.26 was for new work and $23,404.94 for maintenance, all from regular funds. Expenditures have been $1,393,702.30. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1943, amounting to $133,436.36 ($116,139.70 new work funds, and $17,296.66 maintenance funds) will be applied as follows: New work: Accounts payable_------------------------------ $44. 30 Construction of an outlet channel, by contract, July to October 1943--------------------------- 41,112. 00 Construction of a toe drain for earth-fill dam, by contract, July to October 1943----------------- 16, 350. 00 Lining with concrete the existing channel to Mill Creek as a correction to seepage, by contract, May and June 1944------ ------------- ------ 58, 633. 40 Total new work ----------------------------------- $116, 139. 70 RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1687 Maintenance: Accounts payable-------------- ------------- $1, 301.60 Operation and care of dam and reservoir (including guards) --------------- ------------------- 5, 995. 06 Total maintenance-- ----------- ------------ $17, 296. 66 Total all work-- ------------------------ 1-------- 33, 436. 36 The additional sum of $20,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945, on maintenance, operation and care of dam and reservoir, including guards.

MILTON-FREEWATER, WALLA WALLA RIVER, OREG. Location.-The Walla Walla River rises in the Blue Mountains about 20 miles east of Milton, Oreg., flows northwest through Milton and Freewater to the Oregon-Washington boundary line, thence in a 558155-44-pt. 1, vol. 2-41 1688 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 westerly direction to its confluence with the Columbia River 11/ miles- west of the village of Wallula. The flood-control improvements are located on both banks of the river between Joe West and McCoy Bridges in the vicinity of the towns of Freewater and Milton in Umatilla County, Oreg. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for construc- tion of about 54,000 linear feet of levees faced with wire-bound gravel revetment; enlargement and straightening of the channel; construc- tion of a wire-bound gravel fascine along the toe of levees; and con- struction of wire-bound gravel stabilizers across the channel at intervals to prevent excessive bottom scour during floods. The afore- mentioned improvements are located along both banks of the river between McCoy and Joe West Bridges in the towns of Milton and Freewater. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Con- trol Act approved August 18, 1941. The estimate of cost for con- struction is $567,000 and $20,000 for lands and damages. The project will provide protection for the towns of Milton and Freewater and for other lower-lying areas in the Walla Walla River Valley from Milton, Oreg., to the mouth of Mill Creek against floods with a discharge about two times as great as that of the maximum flood of record which occurred in 1931. Local cooperation.-See page 6 for requirements. Assurances of- local cooperation have not yet been received. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction work has been done. Proposed operations.--The funds unexpended June 30, 1943, amounting to $20,000, will be applied to the preparation of detailed plans for the construction of the project. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 in view of the existing Federal policies on wartime construction.

Location,--On the right bank of the Columbia River in Wahkia- kum County, Wash., 33.7 to 37.5 miles above the mouth of the Columbia River. Existing project--The plan of improvement provides for recon- struction of the existing levee and drainage system and includes the following features: Enlarging and strengthening existing earth levee for a distance of about 3.4 miles along Brooks Slough and Alger Creek, about 4.0 miles along Steamboat Slough, the Columbia River, and Elokomin Slough, and about 1.9 miles northerly from the Eloko. min Slough levee to high ground; filling to elevation of natural ground about 3.2 miles of inside borrow pit adjacent to the existing levee along Steamboat Slough the Columbia River, adjacent to tide box outlets, and on the bank of Elokomin Slough; constructing one pumping plant, and drainage facilities. The project will provide protection for 2,271 acres, comprising diking improvement district No. 4, against a flood of the magnitude of the flood of December 1933. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1940, is $128,200. Local cooperation.-See page 6 for requirements. Assurances of local cooperation were approved by the Secretary of War August 31, 1939. Rights-of-way are being furnished as needed. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Costs and ex- penditures for the fiscal year were $76.23, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 66 percent complete. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of construction of a pumping plant and the filling of inside borrow pits. This work has been deferred for the duration of the war.

WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, PORTLAND DISTRICT Location.-The Willamette River is formed by the Coast and Middle Forks which join a few miles above Eugene, Oreg., flows north 189 miles and enters the Columbia River 99 miles above its mouth. The basin has an area of 11,200 square miles, and lies between the Cascade Range on the east and the Coast Range on the west. The major tributaries of the Willamette River rise in the Cascade Moun- tains and consist of the Coast and Middle Forks and the McKenzie, Calapooya, Santiam, Molalla, and Clackamas Rivers. The important tributaries that head in the Coast Range are the Luckiamute, Yamhill, and Tualatin Rivers. Minor tributaries, all of which enter the main stream from the west, are Marys River, Rickreall Creek, and Long Tom River. Existing project.-The Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, approved the general comprehensive plan for flood control, navigation, and other purposes in the Willamette River Basin as set forth in House Docu- ment No. 544, Seventy-fifth Congress, third session, and authorized $11,300,000 for the initiation and partial accomplishment of the plan recommended for initial development; the reservoirs and related works to be selected and approved by the Chief of Engineers. The Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941, authorized the appropriation of $11,000,000, in addition to previous authorizations, bringing the total authorizations to $22,300,000 for the prosecution of the compre- hensive plan approved in the act of June 28, 1938. The comprehen- sive plan includes the construction of a system of reservoirs for flood control and other purposes, channel improvement, and contraction works necessary to secure, with stream-flow regulation, controlling depths of 6 feet to the mouth of the Santiam River (109 miles above the mouth) and 5 feet to Albany (120 miles above the mouth); and for the reconstruction and enlargement of the locks at Oregon City (Willamette River at Willamette Falls). ;Thereservoirs and other improvements included in the plan are as follows: 1700 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Local cooperation.-Section2 of Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Progress on projects within the Willamette River Basin selected for construction is given in individual reports for such projects. Preparation of detailed plans for the development of the comprehensive plan was continued. Ex- tensive field examinations and office studies of the hydrology and damages of a major flood which occurred during the year were made. Costs for the fiscal year (excluding costs for the four projects re- ported individually) were $14,291.50, all from regular funds for new work. Expenditures were $17,541.57. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Detailed plans for the develop- ment of the comprehensive plan for flood control in the Willamette River Basin are partially completed. Individual reports are sub- mitted for all projects selected for construction. Total costs have been $255,353.43, all from regular funds for new work. Expenditures have been $255,121.77. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1943, amounting to $310,878.23, will be applied to accounts payable, $231.66, and to subsurface explorations and preliminary designs for projects included in the comprehensive plan, $310,646.57. The additional sum of $200,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for surveys and preparation of detailed plans for the development of the comprehensive plan for flood control in the Willamette River Basin.

COTTAGE GROVE RESERVOIR, WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.-On the Coast Fork of Willamette River, 29 miles from the mouth. The Coast Fork rises in Douglas County, Oreg., on the western slope of the Cascade Range, and the northern slope of the Calapooya Range, flows north for 49 miles, and unites with the Middle Fork to form the main Willamette River. The drainage area tribu- tary to this reservoir is 104 square miles. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for construc- tion of an earth-fill dam 1,650 feet long at the crest, rising 95 feet above the stream bed, with a reservoir providing for storage of 30,000 acre-feet. The spillway, 264 feet long, is a concrete, gravity, over- flow type forming the right abutment. Outlet works, consisting of three gate-controlled conduits, will pass through the spillway section. The reservoir will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system to protect the Willamette River Valley and to increase low water flows for navigation. The existing project was selected for con- struction under the general authorization for the Willamette River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1941, is $2,360,500. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Construc- tion of the dam and appurtenant works was completed by contract during the fiscal year, and the dam was put into operation. Seeding of the downstream slope of the dam and miscellaneous items were accomplished by hired labor. Maintenance.-The dam and reservoir were in operation approxi- mately 8 months during the fiscal year and during that period func- tioned beneficially through three major floods occurring between November 2, 1942, and January 6, 1943. During the flood of Decem- 1702 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 ber 1942 an estimated 10-foot reduction in the river stage at Cottage Grove was effected, thereby preventing inundation of the town. The total costs for the fiscal year were $144,891.50; of which $127,- 483.45 was for new work and $17,408.05 for maintenance, all from regular funds. Expenditures were $150,417.13. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the dam and appurtenant works was completed in September 1942, and the dam was in operation during the remainder of the fiscal year. Clearing of the reservoir and highway relocations have been completed. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of the instal- lation of piezometers in the downstream slope of the dam, seepage studies, the construction of permanent operators' quarters, and land- scaping. Total costs have been $2,238,489.99; of which $2,221,081.94 was for new work and $17,408.05 for maintenance, all from regular funds. Expenditures have been $2,240,094.28.

DETROIT RESERVOIR, WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.-On North Santiam River, with dam site 60 miles from the mouth. North Santiam River rises in Marion and Linn Counties, Oreg., on the western slope of the Cascade Range, flows north and west for 85 miles, and unites with South Santiam River to form Santiam River, which, 10 miles downstream, enters Willamette River 108 miles above its mouth. The drainage area tributary to this reservoir is 438 square miles. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a dam to its ultimate height, together with power generat- ing facilities, in one step. The dam will be of the concrete gravity type 370 feet in height, from river to normal pool level at elevation 1,569, and approximately 1,580 feet in length. The spillway will be an over- fall section in the dam controlled by radial gates. The outlet works will consist of needle valve and ring seal gate controlled conduits through the dam. The powerhouse will be located on the right bank immediately downstream from the dam. Three penstocks, each 12 feet in diameter, will supply water through a maximum head of 371 feet to three Francis-type turbines. These turbines will have a ca- pacity of 45,000 horsepower each, when operating under a head of 275 feet, and will be directly connected to three 30,000-kilowatt generators, giving a total capacity at this head of 90,000 kilowatts. The reservoir will have a usable capacity of 322,000 acre-feet. It will be operated as a unit in the coordinated reservoir system to protect the Willamette Valley from floods, to develop power, to increase low-water flows in the interests of navigation and for other purposes. The project is a unit of the comprehensive plan for flood-control and other purposes in the Willamette Basin which was approved hv 1708 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938. The estimated cost, revised in 1941, is $26,082,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fscal year--New, work.-The oper- ations during the year consisted of reservoir surveys, preparation of contract plans and specifications, and initiation of hydraulic model studies. Total costs for the fiscal year were $21,594.64, all for new work from regular funds. Expenditures were $24,446.01. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction work has been done on either the dam or highway relocation. Foundation explora- tions, consisting of core drilling and tunneling for the dam, are com- plete. Field surveys and preliminary plans for the relocation of the highway have been completed by the United States Public Roads Ad- ministration. Reservoir surveys are complete and detailed plans and specifications are 40 percent complete. Total costs have been $253,526.97, all for new work from regular funds. Expenditures have been $252,087.02.

Location.-Willapa Harbor consists of the lower reaches of Wil- lapa River and Willapa Bay, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean located about 30 miles north of the mouth of Columbia River. Willapa River rises in the State of Washington, about 30 miles east of the harbor, flows in a general westerly direction, and empties into the bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6185.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of August 18, 1894, March 3, 1899, June 13, 1902, March 2, 1907, and June 25, 1910. For further details see page 2001 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1861 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel over the bar at the mouth of Willapa Bay, 26 feet deep at mean lower low water, with a minimum width of 500 feet; for straightening the river channel at the Narrows about a mile downstream from Raymond by a cut-off channel 200 feet wide, 24 feet deep, and about 3,100 feet long; and for a channel 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide from deep water in Willapa Bay to the forks of the river at Raymond, 24 feet deep and 150 feet wide up the South Fork as far as the deep basin above the Cram lumber mill, and up the North Fork to a point opposite Twelfth Street, with a turning basin 250 feet wide, 350 feet long, and 24 feet deep at the latter point and a closing dike at Mailboat Slough. The length of the section included in the project is 26 miles. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.9 feet at Toke Point and 9.9 feet at Raymond. The extreme range is 18 feet at Toke Point and 19.3 feet at Raymond. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $800,732, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects but including 1716 REPORT OF .CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 $71,775 contributed by local interests. The latest (1934) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $135,000, including $5,000 annually for the first 4 years of the cut-off channel at the Narrows. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents I July 27, 1916 Present project dimensions of the river channels__ H. Doe.

Recommended modifications of project.---Under date of August 1, 1939, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide a channel from deep water in Palix River to Bay Center dock, with a depth of 10 feet at mean lower low water over a bottom width of 40 feet, widened at the shoreward end to provide a small mooring basin, all at an estimated first cost of $30,000 with annual maintenance of $1,000, in addition to that now required; subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Dec. No. 481, 76th Cong., 2d sess.) Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 6 sawmill wharves, 2 city wharves, 1 port wharf, 1 railway wharf, and 2 oil wharves on Willapa River. The city port, and railway wharves are open to general public use. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. dredge Mult- nomah removed 71,614 cubic yards from two shoals in the inner chan- nel during September 1942 at a cost of $7,614.44. Surveys of the bar and river channels were made at a cost of $13,125.51. The total costs were $20,739.95, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $19,504:11. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1936. The dikes constructed under previous projects are in good condition. A survey completed June 11, 1943, showed a con- trolling depth of 23 feet over width of 800 feet across the bar. The controlling depths in the river channels when last ascertained were as follows: Below forks at Raymond, 22.4 feet over width of 100 feet in September 1942, lower 2,800 feet of North Fork, 24 feet over width of 40 feet and lower 1,200 feet of South Fork, 18 feet over width of 70 feet in March 1942. In the upper portions of the forks no soundings have been taken in recent years, as there has been no navigation there. The total costs of the existing project to June 30, 1943, have been as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1717 United States funds New work Maintenance Total Regular_.-------- $521, 957. 42 $1, 125, 822. 91 $1, 647, 780. 33 Public Works-------------------------------------_ 78, 533. 00 78, 533. 00 Emergency Relief ...--------------------------------- 192, 314. 06 ..........---------------- 192, 314. 06 Total, United States funds..---------------------- 714, 271. 48 1, 204, 355. 91 1, 918, 627. 39 Contributed funds.._---------------------------------71, 775. 00 -- -_ 71, 775. 00 Total, all funds- ..----------------- ----------- 786, 046. 48 1, 204, 355. 91 1, 990, 402. 39 The total expenditures were $1,917,747.57, of which $1,646,900.51 were regular funds, $78,533 Public Works funds, and $192,314.06 Emergency Relief funds. In addition, $71,775 was expended from contributed funds.

GRAYS HARBOR AND CHEHALIS RIVER, WASH. Location.-Grays Harbor lies at the mouth of Chehalis River, in the southwestern part of the State of Washington, 45 miles north of the entrance to Columbia River. The inner portion comprises two main channels, the south and the north, connecting the harbor proper with the Chehalis River at Aberdeen. Chehalis River rises in the southwestern part of the State of Washington, about 40 miles east of the Pacific Ocean, flows in a general northwesterly direction and empties into the eastern part of Grays Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6195.) Previous projects.-The original project for the Chehalis River was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882. The original project for the inner harbor was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892. For further details see pages 2002- 2003 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1863 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel across the bar 600 feet wide and 30 feet deep, to be secured by a south jetty 13,734 feet long and a north jetty 16,000 feet long, both at an elevation of 16 feet above mean lower low. water and by dredging; for a channel 26 feet deep at mean lower low water from deep water in Grays Harbor to the Union Pacific Railroad bridge across Chehalis River at Aberdeen, a distance of 151 miles, 350 feet wide to Grays Harbor City, thence 200 to 350 feet wide to the bridge; thence 18 feet deep and 200 feet wide to Cosmopolis, a distance of 3 miles, and for a channel 16 feet deep at mean lower low water and 150 feet wide from Cosmopolis to Montesano, a distance of 103/4 miles. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 9.1 feet at Westport and 9.9 feet at Aberdeen. The extreme range is 15 feet at Westport and 18.1 feet at Aberdeen. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $3,229,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, but inclusive of $211,500 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance dredg;ing in the section below Aberdeen is $270,000. Local interests are to maintain the work above Aberdeen.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, adopting the 16-foot channel, provides that local interests contribute one-half the first cost, estimated at $211,500, and give assurances sat- isfactory to the Secretary of War and Chief of Engineers that they will assume the entire cost of maintenance of same and provide a suit- able public terminal at Montesano. These assurances have been given and $35,834.27 contributed, which was expended in 1931 with an equal amount of Government funds in securing a 12-foot channel to Monte- sano, the remaining contribution necessary to complete the project being deferred until a later date, as approved by the Secretary of War, March 18, 1931. The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, continues the re- quirement that local interests shall pay one-half the first cost of en- larging the channel between Cosmopolis and Montesano, and further provides that the Grays Harbor Port Commission shall continue to remove all snags and deadheads from the channels, shall furnish free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material as and when needed, and shall assist in the work of mainte- nance by loaning to the United States, when not required on the work of the commission, its pipe-line dredge without charge other than reimbursement to the Port of Grays Harbor Commission for the oper- ating costs of the dredge on a basis approved by the Chief of Engi- neers, and maintain the channel above the Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen. These conditions have been met as required to cover current needs. Terminal facilities.-There are 27 wharves and piers on Grays Harbor and adjacent inland waters: 1 general cargo terminal, 11 saw- mill wharves, 1 pulp- and paper-mill wharf, 5 fish wharves, 7 miscel- laneous industrial wharves, and 2 not in use. One general cargo wharf and 1 fish wharf are publicly owned and open to public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 7, pt. 3, Corps of Engineers.) 558155-44-pt. 1, vol. 2- 43 1720 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Operations and results: during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging was done in the 26-foot channel below Aberdeen with leased plant, 156,903 cubic yards being removed at a cost of $16,480.96. Hydro- graphic and topographic surveys were carried on at a cost of $21,- 881.95. Rail and other property were removed at a cost of $2,959.83, and additional costs for inspection, overhead, etc., amounting to $371.64 were incurred in connection with the reconstruction of the north jetty, $6,741.29 was credited for materials and equipment sal- vaged, and $11,704.42 credited to the contract by reason of changes in tax laws, resulting in a net reduction of $15,114.24 in costs of the north jetty. The total costs were $23,248.67, all for maintenance, and the total expenditures were $74,310.36. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 88 per- cent completed. The south jetty was completed in 1902 with a groin at station 1050. The inner 12,144 feet is at elevation +20. An ad- ditional 512 feet of the jetty reconstructed in 1939 has been damaged by sea action and its crest varies from + 10 to -15. The north jetty was completed to midtide elevation in December 1913. It was later restored and raised to or above ordinary high water, this work being completed in January 1916. The inner 7,300 feet, shoreward of the present high-water line on the ocean side of Point Brown, requires no further maintenance, extensive sanding having taken place in the area traversed. Further maintenance work on that portion of the north jetty lying seaward of the west shore-line of Point Brown was completed in May 1942. The present enrockment has a crest elevation of 20 feet above mean lower low water for a distance of 7,760 feet from the high water shoreline on Point Brown and a crest elevation of 30 feet above mean lower low water for the next 528 feet. The remainder of the north jetty has not been restored. Its crest elevation is at mean lower low water. The 26-foot channel previously dredged by the Port of Grays Har- bor below Aberdeen was redredged in 1934, 1936, 1937, 1939, 1940, 1941, and 1942. The 18-foot channel below Cosmopolis and 6-foot channel between Cosmopolis and Montesano were completed in 1910, and the latter was deepened to 12 feet in 1931. The controlling depths when last ascertained were as follows: Bar channel 30 feet over a width of 500 feet (June 7, 1943) ; inner harbor and river channel below Aberdeen 25 feet over a width of 200 feet (May 1943); Aberdeen to Cosmopolis, 21 feet (October 1929); Cos- mopolis to Montesano, 10 feet (1934). The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is to increase the channel depth between Cosmopolis and Montesano to 16 feet. The total costs of the existing project to June 30, 1943, have been as follows: United States funds New work Maintenance Total Regulr . -------------------------------------- $2, 842, 015. 86 $11, 054, 980. 77 $13, 896, 63 996.

Location.-This river is formed by the junction of the Soleduck and Bogachiel Rivers, and flows westerly 5 miles to the Pacific Ocean at La Push, Wash., about 30 miles south of Cape Flattery. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6102.) Existing project.-This provides for a jetty on the easterly side of the mouth, and a dike, with groins, on the westerly side, with a view to stabilizing the entrance channel. The length of the section included in the project is 1,500 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at La Push is 8.3 feet. The extreme range is about 15 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1942, is $80,000 and $4,000 annually for maintenance during the first 2 years and $1,000 annually thereafter. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. No. 125, 71st Cong., 1st sess.). This docu- ment contains the latest published map of the locality. Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of October 26, 1942, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the existing project be modified to provide for maintenance dredging to afford a channel 6 feet deep and of suitable width from the ocean to within the river mouth, which with maintenance of the existing structures will require an estimated amount of $13,000 annually for maintenance of the improvement as a whole (H. Doc. No. 218, 78th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Fully complied with, including agreement to repair any breach in the sand spit north of James Island. Terminal facilities.-There is one privately owned terminal at La Push which is open to public use and has icing facilities to accom- modate small fishing vessels. This is considered adequate for exist- ing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Survey of channel at mouth of river was made. The costs were $858.12, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $934.83. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was substan- tially completed in 1931, omitting the groins which do not appear necessary or desirable. Some deterioration has occurred in the jetty and dike. An examination in July 1943 showed the controlling depth of the entrance channel to be 4 feet over a width of 80 feet. The total costs to June 30, 1943, have been $68,000 for new work and $62,198.11 for maintenance, a total of $130,198.11. The expenditures have been $130,274.82. RIVERS AND IIARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1723 Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1943, $9,086.48 together with accounts receivable amounting to $76.71, will be applied to restoration of natural depth at mouth of river by removing shoal formed as result of break in dike, by Government plant and hired labor in August 1943. The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945, for maintenance of jetty and dike, by Government plant and hired labor, as required.

NEAH BAY, WASH. Location.-On the south side of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, 5 miles east of Cape Flattery, at the entrance to the strait from the Pacific Ocean. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6102 and 6265.) Existing project.-This provides for a rubblestone breakwater ap- proximately 8,000 feet long between Waadah Island and the westerly shore of the bay. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.1 feet. The extreme range is 15.5 feet. 1724 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 The estimate of cost for new work revised in 1941, is $2,100,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 51, 75th Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-Localinterests are required to furnish all neces- sary rights-of-way, free of cost to the United States. The Indian agency has given assurance that if the rock is taken from the Indian reservation, the rights-of-way to the quarry will be furnished. Should the rock be obtained at some other point, no rights-of-way will be necessary. Terminal facilities.-There are six wharves at Neah Bay, including the launchway of the United States Coast Guard, which is also used as a wharf; two publicly owned wharves restricted to Government use; and three privately owned wharves, one of which is open to gen- eral public use and has an oil pipe line and icing facilities to accommo- date small fishing vessels. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Construction of the breakwater was carried on under continuing contract. A total of 878,142.65 tons of rock was placed at a cost of $1,243,870.92, all for new work. The expenditures were $1,505,764.72. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was 94 percent com- pleted. The work remaining to be done is the completion of the break- water. The costs to June 30, 1943, have been $1,896,624.14, and the expenditures $1,864,930.50, all for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1943, $180,- 069.50, together with accounts receivable amounting to $3,829.23, will be applied to new work, as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1943----------------------------- $35, 522. 87 Complete construction of the breakwater by continuing contract July to December 1943---------------------------- --------- 148, 375.86 Total------------------------------------------ 83, 898. 73 No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945, as the project will be completed with available funds, and no maintenance is anticipated during that time.

PUGET SOUND AND ITS TRIBUTARY WATERS, WASH. Location.-Puget Sound is located in the western part of the State of Washington. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6300, 6450, and 6460.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of Au- gust 2, 1882. For further details see page 2003 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1869 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for maintenance of Puget Sound and tributary waters by snagging and dredging. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $45,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892 (Annual Report for 1893, p. 3425). The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1913, page 3127. Terminal facilities.-The terminal facilities at the numerous local- ities on Puget Sound and its tributary waters are, in general, consid- ered adequate for existing commerce.

Condition at end of fiscal year.-The work has consisted chiefly of snagging and dredging in the principal tributaries of Puget Sound. No permanent results are obtainable, but the maintenance of existing channels requires practically continuous operation of the snag boat. The controlling depths range from 1 to 40 feet at mean lower low water. The total costs of the existing project to June 30, 1943, have been $43,336.92 for new work and $984,794.46 for maintenance, a total of $1,028,131.38. The total expenditures have been $1,028,142.54. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1943, $9,947.33, together with accounts receivable amounting to $11.16 and $15,000 allotted during July 1943, total $24,958.49, will be applied to maintenance by operation of the U. S. snag boat W. 7'. Prestonin snag- ging, dredging, and removing miscellaneous obstructions, a total of about 4 months in Skagit, Snohomish, and Stillaguamish Rivers and other tributaries as necessary to meet the current needs of navigation. The additional sum of $45,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 in operation of the snag boat for maintenance snag- ging, dredging, and removing miscellaneous obstructions, a total of about 101/2 months in Skagit, Snohomish, and Stillaguamish Rivers and other tributaries as necessary to keep the channels open for navigation.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1727 6. OLYMPIA HARBOR, WASH. Location.-This harbor is near the southern end of Puget Sound at the head of Budd Inlet, about 45 miles southwest of Tacoma. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6462.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of July 13, 1892, and June 25, 1910. For further details see page 1369 of Annual Report for 1934 and page 1873 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel on the east side of the harbor, between deep water in Budd Inlet and the port terminal, 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and 500 to 300 feet wide, with suitable additional width at the bend, and a turning basin adjacent to the port terminal 30 feet deep, 3,000 feet long, and 300 to 800 feet wide. The extreme tidal range is 22.5 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 14.4 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, was $278,300, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Jan. 21, 1927 Channel 22 feet deep and 150 feet wide .----------- H. Doc.

I Included in Public Works Administration program. Recommended modiflcations of project.-Under date of April 10, 1940, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide an entrance channel 500 feet wide to and including a turning basin 3,350 feet long and generally 960 feet wide, all at a depth of 30 feet at mean lower low water, at an estimated first cost of $88,000, with no increase in the estimated annual cost of maintenance; subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 699, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). Terminal facilities.-There are six wharves and piers on Olympia Harbor. Two serve general cargo terminals that are open for public use; one of these, which is publicly owned and operated, is located on the improved channel and has sufficient depths alongside to accom- modate oceangoing vessels; the other, privately owned and operated, is used by vessels in the Puget Sound trade. The remainder are used for various industrial purposes. These facilities are considered ade- 1728 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 quate for existing commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 23, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939. Controlling depths as determined by a survey completed in September 1942 were as follows: 30.4 feet over the full width of the outer channel except over a shoal in the westerly half at the outer end of the channel where 29.6 feet obtained, 29.1 feet and 27.5 feet, respec- tively, in the west and east halves of the entrance channel, and 29.5 feet in the turning basin except near the edges. The costs and ex- penditures under the existing project to June 30, 1943, have been $259,919.33 for new work, including $105,467 Public Works funds, and $69.85 for maintenance, a total of $259,989.18. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1944. The sum of $12,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging by contract during March 1945.

Doc. No. 167, 72d Cong., 1st sess. Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of December 30, 1938, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to provide for dredging Wapato waterway to a depth of 30 feet over a specified width, not nearer than 50 feet from established pierhead lines or lateral limits of the waterway; nor 100 feet from the northerly line of East Eleventh Street, at an esti- mated first cost of $200,000, with no increase in annual maintenance over that now required; subject to certain conditions of local cooper- ation (H. Doc. No. 124, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.- Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 66 wharves and piers on Tacoma Harbor. Twenty are located on Commencement Bay, 25 on City water- way, 4 on Middle waterway, 4 on Milwaukee waterway, 5 on Wapato waterway, and 8 on Hylebos waterway. Thirty-nine of the wharves with 26,330 feet of berthing space are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels; of these, 8 serving general cargo terminals and 1 serving a grain elevator, are open for public use, 2 of the former and the latter are publicly owned. These facilities are considered adequate for ex- 1730 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 isting commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 7, pt. 2, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in January 1939. The city waterway was completed in 1905. The cost of new work on the waterway has been $150,018.58 and of main- tenance $137,778.23, a total of $287,796.81, not including $5,000 ex- pended for maintenance from contributed funds. The depths avail- able, except along the sides of the waterway, as determined by a sur- vey completed in September 1942, were as follows: 28.3 feet from Commencement Bay to South Eleventh Street, 19.8 feet from South Eleventh Street to South Fourteenth Street, and 17.3 feet from South Fourteenth Street to the head of the waterway. The Hylebos waterway was completed in 1939. The cost of this waterway has been $212,501.60 for new work and $9,276.95 for main- tenance, a total of $221,778.55. A survey in July 1942 showed depths as follows: 30 feet over a width of 100 feet from deep water in Com- mencement Bay to East Eleventh Street, 28.3 feet over a midchannel width of 150 feet from East Eleventh Street to Lincoln Avenue, and 28.1 feet by 130 feet above Lincoln Avenue with a least depth in the turning basin, except near the edges, of 29.9 feet. The two training walls at the mouth of Puyallup River were com- pleted in 1934, at a cost and expenditure of $51,609.12, all for new work. On April 4, 1943, a slide destroyed the east training wall. The depth at the end of it is now 120 feet. The west wall is still in good condition. No maintenance work has been done by the Government on Wapato waterway. The latest survey, made in June 1941, showed a controlling depth of 34 feet over a width of about 450 to 770 feet in the lower 1,600 feet of the waterway, thence a channel 80 feet wide with mini- mum depth of 16 feet extended southerly along the westerly margin of the waterway for about 1,800 feet; the remaining area of the water- way has not been improved, and depths therein vary from 16 feet below mean lower low water to about 19.4 feet above that datum. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1943, have been $414,129.30 for new work, including $51,609.12 Public Works funds, and $147,055.18 for maintenance, a total of $561,184.48, not including $5,000 contributed funds for maintenance. The expenditures have been $561,184.48. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1944. The sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging in city waterway, by contract, during December 1944.

SEATTLE HARBOR, WASH Location.-This harbor includes all waterways within the city limits of Seattle. The chief anchorage basin is Elliott Bay, an arm of Puget Sound, 30 miles north of Tacoma. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6445.) Existing project.-This provides for maintenance of the east and west waterways to a depth of 34 feet at mean lower low water, with a width of 750 feet for distances of 6,500 and 5,200 feet, respectively, from the pierhead line in Elliott Bay; for the maintenance of east waterway between the upper end of the 750-foot section and Spokane Street, 34 feet deep, 700 feet long, and 400 feet wide, and of a turning basin, including the head of the east waterway at the junction of the waterways south of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Rail- road bridge, to a depth of 30 feet, after these sections of the waterway have been dredged by local interests to full project dimensions; and for dredging the Duwamish waterway 200 feet wide and 30 feet deep at mean lower low water between the west waterway and First Avenue South, 150 by 20 feet between First and Eighth Avenues South, thence 150 by 15 feet to a point about 1.4 miles above Fourteenth Avenue South Bridge, with a turning basin 600 by 350 feet and 20 feet deep just south of the First Avenue South Bridge, and a turning basin 500 by 250 feet and 15 feet deep and settling basin with a capacity of about 100,000 cubic yards at the upper end of the waterway, a distance of 27,060 feet, or 5.12 miles. The total length of waterways included under the project is about 71/2 miles. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.3 feet. The extreme tidal range is 19.3 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1942, is $259,670, in- cluding $79,333 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $4,750 for the east waterway, $6,000 (revised in 1928) for the west waterway, and $48,000 (made in 1922) for the Duwamish waterway.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with, including agreement to pay half of the cost of dredging the settling basin at such time as in the judgment of the United States seems necessary. Terminal facilities.-There are 98 wharves and piers on Seattle Harbor, exclusive of those given in the report for Lake Washington Ship Canal. Fifty-three are located on Elliott Bay, 19 on east water- way, 15 on west waterway, 8 on Duwamish waterway, and 3 on Puget Sound near the northern limits of the port. Of these, 22 general cargo terminals and 1 grain terminal are open for public use, 6 of the former and the latter are publicly owned. The remaining 75 serve various industrial purposes with the exception of 6 that are either owned or leased by the United States and restricted to Government use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 7, pt. 1, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1931, except the settling basin. The controlling depths in west and east waterways when last ascertained were as follows: West waterway, 34 feet except along the edges, in June 1939; east waterway, 34 feet except along the edges and over an isolated shoal opposite the As- sociated Oil Co. Dock where 31.9 feet obtains, and except in the southerly 1,500 feet of the waterway, in June 1939. The controlling dimensions in Duwamish waterway were as follows: 28.2 feet by 170 feet from the head of west waterway to First Avenue South in June 1939, 19 feet by 100 feet from First Avenue South to Eighth Avenue South, and 13.1 feet by 150 feet from Eighth Avenue South to Four- teenth Avenue South in May 1943. A survey made in July 1942 showed a controlling depth of 15 feet for a distance of 3,200 feet up- stream from Fourteenth Avenue South, 10 feet for the next 2,500 feet, then gradually decreasing to 2.1 feet in the turning basin at the head of the waterway. Local interests have practically completed dredging of east waterway above the 750-foot section and of the turning basin at the junction of the waterways to 30 feet. The costs from Federal funds to June 30, 1943, have been $170,334.74 for new work and $313,189.09 for maintenance, a total of $483,523.83, and the expenditures $483,523.83. In addition, $69,332.64 has been expended from contributed funds for new work. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1733 Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1943, $26,- 000, will be applied to maintenance dredging in Duwamish waterway by contract during May and June 1944. The sum of $48,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging in Duwamish and east and west water- ways by contract during May and June 1945.

Terminal facilities.-There are 67 wharves, piers, and landings on Lake Washington Ship Canal and adjacent inland waters. (Shil- shole Bay, Salmon Bay, Lake Union, Portage Bay, and Lake Wash- ington.) Ten wharves that serve as ferry and small craft landings and 4 that serve for mooring and servicing vessels are open for public use; all of the former and 3 of the latter are publicly owned. Other publicly owned wharves are 2 used by the harbor patrol, 1 used by the United States Coast Guard, and 1 by the Bureau of Fisheries. Of the remaining, 23 are used for mooring, repairing, and outfitting vessels, 8 serve for handling petroleum products, 16 for various industrial pur- poses, and 2 are not in use. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 7, pt. 1, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-The locks were operated throughout the year and the necessary repairs were made thereto and to the appurtenant structures, all work being done by hired labor. The costs were $213,638.97, all for operation and care. The expenditures were $213,839.67. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1934. The water from the locks into Lake Washington is nontidal and is maintained at mean elevation of 21 feet above mean lower low tide of Puget Sound, with a maximum variation of 2 feet. The con- trolling depths when last ascertained were as follows: From Puget Sound to the Great Northern Railway bridge, 33 feet, thence 30 feet to Lake Union, in May 1940; Lake Union to Lake Washington, 30 feet, in October 1940. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1943, have been $3,539,294.87 for new work, including $192,516.44 Public Works funds, and $1,058,383.98 for maintenance, including $950,004.60 for operation and care, a total of $4,597,678.85. The expenditures have been $4,596,715.27. In addition, the sum of $1,631,195.33 was expended between 1916 and 1936 on the operating and care of the works of improvement, under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. In addition, there was expended by the State of Washington $246,- 567.07 and by King County $742,070.51 in the excavation of the channel above the locks and in the construction of concrete revetment at the portage. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1943, $124,- 558.98, together with accounts receivable amounting to $583, and $35,- 000 allotted .during July 1943 will be applied to operation and mainte- nance as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1943 ------------ $1, 546. 58 Operation of locks and dams------------------------------------ 81, 000. 00 Ordinary repairs --- -------------- 38, 000. 00 Improvement and reconstruction------------------- ------------- 31, 595. 40 Channel work -------------------------------------------------- 6, 000.00 Emergencies 20----------------------------- 2, 000. 00 Total ----------------------------------------- 160, 141. 98 The additional sum of $151,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for operation and maintenance, as follows: 558155-44---pt. 1,vol. 2----44 1736 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

(See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6448.) Previous projects.--Adopted by the River and. Harbor Act of August 18, 1894, and modified April 23, 1902 (joint resolution of Congress), and by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905. For further details, see page 2005 of Annual Report for 191.5, and page 1883 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a training dike in the upper harbor extending from Smith Island to a point opposite Twenty- third Street, with a gap of suitable width at the outlet of Snohomish River Channel and spur dikes to regulate the flow through the gap; for a ch-annel shoreward of the training dike, between the outlet of the main river channel and deep water in the lower harbor, 100 feet wide and 8 feet deep at low water; for a settling basin with a capacity of about 200,000 cubic yards, 1,200 feet long, 700 feet wide, and 12 feet deep at mean lower low water, in the upper harbor in the vicinity of the Fourteenth Street dock; and for a channel throughout that portion of the lower harbor known as east waterway 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and generally 900 feet wide. The length of channel improvement under this project is 2.5 miles. The extreme tidal range is about 19 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.1 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938, was $338,246, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1938) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance of the entire project is $16,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25,1910 Training dike 10,500 feet long extending across H. Doc.

Of these, 9 are located on Port Gard- ner Bay and east waterway channel, and 11 on the channel to the gap and on the Snohomish River. All are privately owned and are not open to public use. Four of the wharves on Port Gardner Bay and east waterway channel are used by oceangoing vessels; of these, 2 serve wood pulp manufacturing plants, and 2 are leased by the United States and restricted to Government use. The remaining 5 are for various industrial purposes and are used by vessels in the Puget Sound trade. The 11 industrial wharves on the channel to the gap and on Snohomish River have depths alongside suitable only for lighters. These facilities are considered adequate for existing com- 1738 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 merce. (For further details see Port Series No. 7, pt. 3, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at ed of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1940. Dike work was commenced in September 1911 and terminated in September 1912, and 6,000 feet of the dike was raised to elevation of 14 feet above mean lower low water in 1931. The dikes are in good condition. The channel between the river outlet and the lower harbor was dredged to 8 feet in 1931 and the settling basin was completed in 1940. The dredging of the east waterway has been practically completed by local interests. A survey completed in June 1942 showed a controlling depth of 6.3 feet in the channel from the lower harbor to the settling basin, 0.6 feet from the settling basin to the gap in the dike, h least depth of 3.2 feet and an average depth of about 8 feet in the settling basin. In the east waterway, a survey made in April 1941 showed a depth of 30 feet except in the extreme northerly end where depths varied from 30 feet to 4 feet, and several small shoals in the southerly end with least depths ranging from 30 feet to 27.8 feet. The costs and expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1943, have been $325,968.16 for new work and $105,510.96 for mainte- nance, a total of $431,479.12. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1944. The sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging in the settling basin, by contract, during September 1944.

Location.-This is an inland passage, 11 miles long, between Sara- toga Passage and Padilla Bay, in the northwestern part of the State of Washington, about 60 miles north of Seattle. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6300 and 6380.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 100 feet wide and 12 feet deen at mean lower low water from deep water in Saratoga RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1739 Passage to deep water in Padilla Bay, a distance of 11 miles, by dredging and dike construction where necessary. The extreme tidal range is 19 feet at the south end of the slough and 16 feet at the north end. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.5 feet at the south end of the slough, 8.5 feet at the north end, and 6.5 feet at La Conner. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $390,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $16,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July 13,1982 Channel 4 feet deep and 100 feet wide, and dike H. Doc. No. 31, 52d Cong., 1st sess., construction, and Annual Report, 1892, p. 2752. Aug. 30,1935 Enlargement of the channel to present project Senate committee print, 73d Cong. dimensions. 1st sess. For latest published map, see H. Doc. No. 860, 63d Cong., 2d sess. Local cooperation.-Underthe provisions of the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, adopting the project for the 12-foot channel, local interests were required to furnish free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material during ini- tial construction and for future maintenance as and when needed. Compliance with these conditions has not yet been required, as suitable areas for disposal of dredged material have been found without invoking the requirements of local cooperation. Terminal facilities.-There are three privately owned wharves, at La Conner. One is open to general public use, and two are used by small fishing vessels. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-A total of 102,907 cubic yards was removed from five shoals in the channel, by contract, Au- gust to October 1942 and January to February 1943, resulting in a controlling depth of approximately 9 feet at mean lower low water. The costs were $44,947.50, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $44,919.35. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1937. The dikes are in good condition with the exception of about 2,000 feet of the dike between Goat Island and McGlinn Island which show about 4 feet of subsidence. A survey in March 1943 showed a controlling depth of 4.8 feet within the dredged channel, but a least depth of 6.4 feet is available by utilizing a natural channel just outside of the controlling shoal. The costs to June 30, 1943, have been $409,029.51 for new work and $327,970.22 for maintenance, a total of $736,999.73. The expenditures have been $736,994.08. Proposed operations.-No work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1944. The unobligated balance of $2,008.85 will be revoked. The sum of $16,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945 for maintenance dredging and repair of dikes, by contract, during July and August 1944. 1740 REPORT'OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

BELLINGHAM HARBOR, WASH. Location.-This harbor is a part of Bellingham Bay, an arm of Pu- get Sound, about 18 miles south of the international boundary and about 100 miles north of Seattle. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6378.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 2006 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1888 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for (a) dredging a channel known as the Whatcom Creek waterway from deep water to the head of the harbor, 363.2 feet wide, 26 feet deep at mean lower low water for the outer 3,800 feet and 18 feet deep for the inner 1,300 feet; (b) for Squalicum Creek waterway, including dredging an entrance channel, 200 feet wide and 26 feet deep from deep water in the bay to the main pierhead line, maintenance of the southerly half and westerly end of RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1741 the Squalicum Creek Basin to a depth of 26 feet at mean lower low water, and maintenance of the present 1,500-foot breakwater southwest of the basin to a crest height of 14 feet, provided that no dredging be done within 75 feet of wharves, piers, or similar structures. The ex- treme tidal range is about 16.0 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.6 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1913, was $81,782 for Whatcom Creek waterway and $25,000 (made in 1927) for Squalicum Creek waterway, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000 (1928) for Whatcom Creek waterway, and $2,500 (1937) for Squali- cum Creek waterway.

Three of the terminals on Whatcom Creek waterway and 1 on Bellingham Bay accept general cargo and are open for public use, 1 on Whatcom Creek waterway being publicly owned. The 3 terminals on Squalicum Creek water- way are publicly owned; of these, 1 is publicly operated and is open to public use for mooring and servicing small craft, and 2 are privately operated, and together with the remaining 12 are used for various industrial purposes. These terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Project depth in the inner 1,300 feet of Whatcom Creek waterway was restored by dredg- ing 5,308 cubic yards, under contract, in November 1942, at a cost and expenditure of $5,646.58, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1931. The dredging of Whatcom Creek waterway was com- pleted in 1913. The dredging of the entrance channel in Squalicum Creek waterway was completed in 1931, and local interests have since dredged the southerly half and westerly end of Squalicum Creek Basin and constructed a detached rubble breakwater 1,500 feet long south- west of the basin. The controlling depths when last ascertained were as follows: Outer 3,800 feet of Whatcom Creek waterway, 25 feet in June 1942; inner 1,300 feet, 18 feet in November 1942. Squalicum Creek waterway, 25 1742 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 feet in the entrance channel and basin except near the edges, in June 1942.

MUD MOUNTAIN DAM, WHITE RIVER, WASH. Location.-The works covered by this project are on White River, a tributary of Puyallup River, near Mud Mountain, 6 miles southeast of Enumclaw, Wash. Existina prroject.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a rock-fill dam, 700 feet long at crest elevation and rising RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1747 425 feet above bedrock. The reservoir to be created will store ap- proximately 130,000 acre-feet. Outlet works are located in the right abutment and permit controlled discharge of 16,000 second-feet through two concrete-lined tunnels, with uncontrolled discharge through a spillway having a maximum capacity of 139,000 second- feet. The improvement is designed to afford flood protection to the White and Puyallup River Valleys and to protect the Tacoma in- dustrial district in conjunction with the authorized project at that locality against floods about 50 percent greater than the maximum discharge of record. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1942, is $11,606,000. The cost of maintenance and operation, approved in 1943, is $85,000 annually. References to published articles not previously reported.-History of the project with description of all operations to the date of the published article, photographs, general plan, and cross sections'is con- tained in article entitled "The Mud Mountain Dam on the White River, Washington, U. S. A.," in illustrated weekly journal, En- gineering, London, England, dated July 3, 1942 (vol. 154, No. 3990) and July 17, 1942 (vol. 154, No. 3992). Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Drift material in the reservoir was removed by contract. That deposited on the face of the dam was removed by hired labor. Cableway, transfer table and burning pit were constructed by hired labor. The cost was $208,- 790.11, all for new work. The cost of maintenance was $16,521.45, all by hired labor, includ- ing ordinary maintenance and repairs, improvement and reconstruc- tion, fish haul, removal of drift material after construction, mainte- nance and operation of gages (including snow surveys), and operation. The total costs were $225,311.56. The expenditures were $141,892.44. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is practically complete. The status of the principal features of the project is as follows: Damn.-The dam embankment has been completed. Spillway.-The concrete-lined spillway, 315 feet wide at crest, 1,100 feet long, has been completed. Outlets.-The 9-foot tunnel, 1,801 feet long, has been completed. The 23-foot diversion tunnel, 1,991 feet long, has been completed with the exception of the valve house, outlet valves, and penstocks. Fishaway.-The fishway has been completed except for completing the installation of fish hoist and 24-inch water supply line. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of the completion of outlets, fabrication and installation of penstocks and regulating valves, construction of valve house, recon- struction of radial gate, installation of fish hoist, installation of fish- way water-supply line, removal of drift material in reservoir above dam, installation of staff gages, weir on Red Creek, access ladders to upper portal area, plug in 7-foot diameter vent shaft, removal of rock from river below 23-foot tunnel discharge portal, painting of cableway tower and transfer table, and completion of general clean- up of camp area. 1748 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1751 19. LOWELL CREEK, ALASKA Location.--Lowell Creek rises in the mountains west of Seward, Alaska, and flows eastward into Resurrection Bay, an arm of the Gulf of Alaska, at the city of Seward. Its total length is about 41/2 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8529.) Previous project.-The construction of an intake dam and timber flume through the city of Seward was adopted by Public Resolution No. 52, Sixty-ninth Congress, approved February 9, 1927, and pro- vision for maintenance was made by the act approved February 14, 1933 (Public, No. 336, 72d Cong.). The costs from Federal funds have been $88,157.87 for new work and $30,771.35 for maintenance, a total of $118, 929.22. The expenditures have been $118,929.22. In addition, $25,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work. For further details see page 1590 of Annual Report for 1936. Existing project.-This provides for the control of floods in Lowell Creek by the construction of a diversion dam 25 feet high and 400 feet long and a concrete-lined tunnel 10 feet in diameter and 2,070 feet long through Bear Mountain to divert floodwaters and debris away from the city of Seward and into deep water f Resurrection Bay. The estimate of cost for construction, revised in 1941, is $257,000, exclusive of amounts expended on the previous project. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 25, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 154, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-There were no opera- tions. Additional costs totaling $3,000.92 were charged to new work previously reported. The expenditures were $5,363.52. Condition at end of flscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1940, except concreting between rails in the tunnel invert which has been omitted. The costs and expenditures of the existing project to June 30, 1943, have been $250,235.48, all for new work. Proposed operations.-Of the balance unexpended June 30, 1943, $164.52 will be applied to inspection of armor rail fastenings in the tunnel invert during low water in 1943, and the remainder, $6,600, will be revoked.

SALMON RIVER, ALASKA Location.-Salmon River rises in Canada and flows in a southerly direction into the southeastern part of Alaska and empties into Port- land Canal at the town of Hyder. Its total length is about 25 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8051.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for a rock- faced earth dike on the left limit of the river near its mouth, 4,334 feet in length with an average height of 5 feet. The project will protect the entire town site of Hyder, Alaska, from floods in Salmon River and deflect the silt deposit away from the harbor area. The estimated cost, made in 1931, was $53,000 (including $7,000 contributed by local interests) for new work and $1,000 (including $200 to be contributed by local interests) annually for maintenance. The project was authorized by the act approved June 18, 1934, Public No. 388, Seventy-third Congress (H. Doc. No. 228 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-In accordance with the provisions of the act of June 18, 1934, local interests are required to contribute $7,000 toward the first cost of the work and $200 annually for maintenance. An appropriation of $7,000 was made by the Territorial legislature in 1933 for this purpose. Prior to the adoption of the existing project, approximately $8,000 was expended by the United States Bureau of Public Roads for a rock dike, and $26,350 by Territorial and local interests for dikes, revetment, and dredging with a view to flood protection. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. Some settlement has occurred in the dike. The costs and expenditures from Federal funds have been $34,231.20 for new work and $7,646.25 for maintenance, a total of' $41,877.45. In addition $7,000 has been expended from contributed funds for new work and $800 for maintenance. Proposedoperations.-TheFederal funds unexpended June 30, 1943, $1,600, together with $400 contributed funds on hand and $400 addi- RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1753 tional to be contributed by local interests, will be applied to repairs to dikes, by hired labor, during the low-water period in the spring of 1944. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945, as no maintenance should be necessary during that time.

FAIRBANKS, TANANA RIVER, AND CHENA SLOUGH, ALASKA Location.-The work covered by this project is on the Tanana River and Chena Slough in the vicinity of Fairbanks, Alaska. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- trol of floods at Fairbanks by rediverting Chena Slough back into Tanana River by means of an earth and rock dike about 8 feet high and 3 miles long, across the flats, with a rock dam in Chena Slough at the foot of Moose Creek Butte. The Richardson Highway will be relocated from the valley between the slough and river to the top of the dike and then along high ground on the right bank of the slough. The estimate of cost of construction, revised in 1940, is $410,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938 (H. Doc. No. 561, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). This document con- tains the latest map of the locality. Local cooperation.-See page 6 for requirements. Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Subsided portions of the dike and approaches were restored by the Alaska Road Commis- sion, preparatory to surfacing the road thereon. The costs were $17,- 447.79, all for new work. The expenditures were $23,597.03. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is practically complete. Dike construction was commenced under contract May 13, 1940, and completed April 17, 1941. Relocation of the Richardson Highway was commenced in October 1939 by the Alaska Road Com- mission under a cooperative agreement, and has been completed ex- cept the portion utilizing the top of the dike. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the surfacing of the roadway along the dike and sealing dike to prevent erosion. The costs have been $371,967,.26, all for new work. The expenditures have been $378,103.10.

CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION This Commission, consisting of three officers of the Corps of En- gineers appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate, was created by the act of Congress approved March 1, 1893 (27 Stat. L., p. 507), was organized in San Francisco, Calif., on June 8, 1893, and has jurisdiction and duties extending over the drainage area of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, comprising the great central valley of California and extendingfrom the crest of the Sierra Nevada on the east to that of the Coast Range on the west and from Mount Shasta and the Pit River Basin on the north to the Tehachapi Moun- tains on the south. These rivers empty into the head of Suisun Bay, ultimately discharging into the Pacific Ocean through the connecting bays and straits and the Golden Gate. The duties prescribed by the act creating the Commission are: 1760 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, '1943 First. To regulate hydraulic mining in such a way as to permit its resumption and continuance under such restrictions as to prevent the resulting debris from being carried into navigable waters or otherwise causing damage. Second. To study and report upon general hydraulic and hydraulic- mining conditions and matters affecting or affected by them and to make surveys, mature and adopt plans for the purpose of improving the navigability, deepening the channels, and protecting the banks of the rivers, and affording relief from flood damages. While the Commission was to "adopt" plans as a result of its study, the act creating it did not provide means for directly carrying them out. Congress, however, has from time to time adopted certain of the plans formulated by the Commission and charged it with their exe- cution, under the direction of the Secretary of War and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers. During the past year, the Commission consisted of the following officers of the Corps of Engineers: Brig. Gen. Warren T. Hannum, United States Army, president; Col. R. C. Hunter, secretary and member; Col. J. R. D. Matheson, member to February 22, 1943; and Col. Clay Anderson, member, since that date. The secretary has immediate supervision of the work of the Commission. IMPROVEMENTS Navigation Page 1. Regulation of hydraulic mining and preparation of plans ------------- 1760 2.

REGULATION OF HYDRAULIC MINING AND PREPARATION OF PLANS Location.-Operations are largely limited to the territory between Mount Lassen on the north and the Yosemite Valley on the south, on the western watershed of the Sierra Nevada. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheets for the area, 25 in number.) Existing project.-This provides for regulating hydraulic-mining operations, planning the improvement of conditions upon the Sacra- mento and San Joaquin Rivers and their tributaries affected by such operations, and the preparation of plans to enable hydraulic mining to be resumed in their drainage areas. On application by prospective miners, full investigation is made by the California Debris Commis- sion, and permits to operate are issued to those who provide satis- factory debris-restraining basins by construction of suitable dams where necessary or use Government-constructed debris-restraining reservoirs constructed under the act of June 19, 1934, as set forth below. The estimate of cost of this work, revised in 1916, is $18,000 per annum. The existing project was authorized by the following acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1761 Acts Work authorized Documents - _~ Mar. 1,1893 Created California Debris Commission and au- Executive Doc.

June 19, 1934 t Amended act of Mar. 1, 1893, which provides for (Amendment of sees. 18 and 23 of act construction of debris dams or other restiaining approved Mar. 1, 1893.) -works by the California Debris Commission and collection of a 3-percent tax on the gross proceeds of each mine using such facilities, so as to eliminate this tax and substitute an annual tax per cubic yard mined, obtained by dividing the total capital cost of each dam, reservoir, and rights-of-way, by the total capacity of the reser- voir for restraint of debris; and authorized revo- catiori of Commission orders permitting such mining, for failure to pay this annual tax within 30 days after its due date; and also authorized receipt of money advances from mine owners to aid such construction, to be refunded later from the annual payments of yardage taxes on ma- terial mined. June 25, 19382 Added at the end of sec. 23 of above act. a provision (Further amendment of sec. 23 of act that the Secretary of War is authorized to enter approved Mar. 1, 1893.) into contracts to supply storage for water and use of outlet facilities from debris storage reser- voirs for domestic and irrigation purposes and power development, upon such conditions of delivery, use and payment as he may approve; these payments are to be deposited to the credit of such reservoir project, reducing its capital cost to be repaid by tax on mining operations. 1Public No. 425, 73d Cong. 2 Public No. 716, 75th Cong. For latest published map see Annual Report for 1913, p. 3170, and Rivers and Harbors Committee Doe. No. 50, 74th Cong., 1st sess. Local cooperation.-Mine owners are required to bear all expenses incurred in complying with the orders of the Commission for regula- tion of mining and restraint of debris. Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year.-There were 19 hydraulic mining inspections made, at a cost of $5,010.71. Administrative work overlaps that of Improvements Nos. 2, 3, and 4 hereunder and that of the Sacramento engineer district. Cost of this work, including regu- lation of hydraulic mining and issuance of licenses, was $6,100.96. The total cost of all activities was $11,111.67. Total expenditures were $10,449.06. Condition at end of fiscal year,--The Commission has received 1,265 1762 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMYT, 1943 applications for hydraulic mining licenses; 28 mines are licensed, of which 6 are for storage behind Government debris dams. Surveys have been made of those portions of Yuba, Feather, Bear, and Ameri- can Rivers containining large deposits of mining debris; of active mines, except those on the North Fork of Yuba River above Bullards Bar Reservoir; and of Bullards Bar and Combie Reservoirs, to determine the rate of debris movement into the several reservoirs. Work remaining to be done is, in general, the continuationof the above or similar operations. The total cost of all work was $643,340.40 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $642,521.10. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended June 30, 1943, amounting to $12,957.83, will be used for payment of accounts payable, $819.30, and the remainder will be applied to maintenance as follows: Applications for permission to mine by hydraulic process will be duly investigated and considered; mines operating under existing per- mits will be regulated, and necessary inspections, preparation, and approval of plans, etc., will be made, as during preceding years. Studies, examinations, surveys, and miscellaneous operations will be continued. New mines are now operating with storage afforded by the North Fork debris reservoir on American River, and Upper Narrows Reservoir on Yuba River. The additional sum of $18,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945, in order to continue the work assigned the Com- mission and meet the demands of the State and general public re- quiring consultation with the Commission.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1763 2. TREATMENT OF THE YUBA RIVER DEBRIS SITUATION- RESTRAINING BARRIERS Location. The works are located on the Yuba River between Marys- ville and the place where the river emerges from the foothills, near Hammonton, some 10 miles easterly from Marysville, or about 9 miles below the Narrows. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Existing project.-This provides for storage of mining debris within the bed of the Yuba River by means of a debris barrier, and by the restraint of the flow channel to narrow limits by means of training walls and other regulation works. The object of storing this debris: in the Yuba River-a nonnavigable stream-is to keep it from passing into the Sacramento and Feather Rivers to the detriment of naviration therein. The variation in water levels due to floods is about 12 feet. The estimate of cost of new work made in 1900 was $800,000, one-half of which was appropriated by the State of California. The latest (1922) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000. (For details of this project in its original form see Annual Report, 1917, p. 1810, "Previous projects.") The existing project was adopted in a rather indefinite form by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, and in its more definite form by River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902 (H. Doc. No. 431, 56th Cong., 1st sess.). (For the latest published map, see U. S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-A work party, with Government plant, repaired current retards and placed brush mattresses as bank protection and removed old retards between Marysville and Daguerre Point, at a total cost of $3,226.14. Surveys and plans cost $538.30. Total cost of work was $3,764.44, including $1,598.39 contributed funds. The expenditures were $1,406.47 United States funds and $1,598.39 contributed funds, a total of $3,004.86. Conditiofh at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. Three training walls, having a total length of 85,100 feet and providing two 500-foot channels, have been built, partly by gold- dredging companies and partly by the United States. A cut was made through Daguerre Point and a concrete spillway constructed therein. The channel between Marysville and the training walls has been cleared of obstructions. Dikes have been built to block off old sand channels. The result has been to hold millions of cubic yards of mining debris in Yuba River which would otherwise have passed into the navigable, channels of Feather and Sacramento Rivers.

ARMY, 1943 Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1943, amounting to $17,961.71 of United States funds and $2,017.80 of con- tributed funds, together with $18,739.52 contributed by the State of California in July 1943, will be applied to payment of accounts payable, $259.58, and to maintenance as needed between July and December 1943, to clear the channel between Marysville and Daguerre Point by removal of snags, brush, and trees, and blasting of hardpan; to confine the river to this channel by damming the heads of old channels; to repair, reinforce, and protect the Daguerre Point Dam; and for bank protection on both banks from 2 to 11 miles above Marysville. The additional sum of $15,000 (together with an equal contribution from the State of California) can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1945, between July and December 1944, on work similar to the above. The work is necessary to prevent debris entering Feather and Sacramento Rivers. The preceding amount is greater than the average annual cost for the preceding 5 years because curtailed operations in these five years have resulted in accumulations of snags and debris which should be removed, and in erosion of banks, which should be protected by current retards and brush mattresses.

SACRAMENTO RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, CALIF. (DEBRIS CONTROL) Location.-The project reservoirs will be constructed in the water- sheds of the Yuba, Bear, and American Rivers, Calif. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheets for the basin areas, seven in number.) Existing project.-The project was designed to permit the resump- tion of hydraulic mining on a substantial scale and provides for the construction of four reservoirs at the following sites: (1) The Upper Narrows on Yuba River; (2) the North Fork site on the North Fork of American River; (3) a site on the Middle Fork of American River; and (4) a site on Bear River. The estimated cost for new work made in 1935 is $6,945,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 50, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). For latest published map see the project document. Local cooperation.-Satisfactoryassurances are to be furnished the Secretary of War for repayment of the capital cost of the reservoirs from taxes on material hydraulically mined, under licenses, and im- pounded in these reservoirs. These have been furnished and accepted for sites (1), (2), and (3) above. Terminal facilities.-None required. Operations and results during fiscal year-New 'work.-Onthe com- pleted North Fork Reservoir, rights-of-way purchased cost $804.72. On the completed Upper Narrows Reservoir, rights-of-way purchased cost $873.14. At the Ruck-A-Chucky site on the Middle Fork of American River, purchase of rights-of-way and investigations to determine the value of rights-of-way, cost $2,619.25. Maintenance.-Repairs to the east abutment of the North Fork Dam and to its access road cost $9,146.64. The cost of all main- tenance is to be reimbursed from taxes collected from operators of hydraulic mines using the Government reservoir debris impounding facilities. Total cost of all activities was $13,443.75 of which $4,297,11 was for new work and $9,146.64 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $13,272.61. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 76 percent completed. The North Fork Dam and Reservoir was completed and in use at the end of the fiscal year 1939; additional work of excavation and reinforcement at the left abutment of the dam was done in the fiscal year 1941. A small expenditure remains to be made for related rights-of-way. The dam is 155 feet high, 620 feet long, and the reservoir has a debris-storage capacity of 26,000,000 cubic yards. The contract for the Upper Narrows Dam construction was completed at the end of January 1941; the reservoir has been in use for storage of hydraulic mining debris. Minor finishing work was completed under supplementary agreement. The dam is 260 feet high, 1,142 feet long, and the reservoir has a debris-storage capacity of 118,000,000 cubic yards. Rights-of-way for this dam and reservoir have been obtained or are in course of procurement by condemnation. Work at the Ruck-A-Chucky Dam site on the Middle Fork of American River was stopped, settlement of the contract was completed, and field in- vestigations were made and report rendered with a view to the selec- tion of another site. Work was postponed on the Dog Bar site on Bear River due to litigation involving mining interests, and a review RIVERS AND HARBORS-CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1767 of the report in the project document was made, giving considera- tion to alternative locations of the proposed dam. The total cost of all activities was $5,253,300.63 for new work and $9,146.64 for maintenance, a total of $5,262,447.27. The total expenditures were $5,262,325.81. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, June 30, 1943, amounting to $111,674.19, will be applied during the fiscal year 1944 as follows: Accounts payable------------------------------------------------ $248. 84 New work: Completion of purchase of rights-of-way for North Fork Debris Reservoir July to December 1943--------------------------- 400. 00 Upper Narrows Debris Reservoir: Acquisition of rights-of-way, and miscellaneous expense, July 1943 to February 1944------- 56, 800. 00 Settlement of cost of rights-of-way for debris reservoir on Middle Fork of American River_----------------------_ 3, 200. 00 Total for new work , 400. 00 6------------------------------ Maintenance: Repairs to access roads to North Fork and Upper Narrows Debris Reservoirs, and minor repairs and replacements at the 2 dams----------------------------------------------------7, 200. 00 Cost of watchmen's services at North Fork Dam and Upper Nar. rows Dam, during fiscal year 1944--------------- 22, 000. 00 Cost of watchmen's services at these 2 dams during fiscal year 1943, previously carried as deferred account-----------------21, 825. 35 Total cost of mainteniance------------------------------ 51, 025. 35 Total application of funds_-------------------------- 111, 674. 19 The additional sum of $30,000 can be profitably expended for main- tenance during the fiscal year 1945 as follows: Repairs to access roads to North Fork and Upper Narrows Debris Reser- voirs, and minor repairs and replacements at the two dams _ $8, 000 Cost of watchmen's services at North Fork Dam and Upper Narrows Dam--------- ----- ------------------------------------------ 22, 00 Total cost, all for maintenance -------------------------------- 30, 000 All new work, except completion of acquisition of rights-of-way, has been suspended for the duration of the war by order of the War Production Board.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIF., FLOOD CONTROL Location.-The Sacramento River is located in north-central California. Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910, and was formerly reported under the title "Alleviation of Debris Conditions in the Sacramento and Feather Rivers." For further details see Annual Report for 1917, page 1815, and Annual Report for 1938, page 1995. Existing project.--This provides for enlargement of the river chan- nel below the mouth of Cache Slough, for making two cut-offs be- tween the mouth of the Feather River and Colusa, for construction of four bypass weirs and the reconstruction of another, for construction of outfall gates at the mouth of Butte Slough, for construction of levees including certain drainage pumping plants, for the construc- tion of bank-protection works and levee set-backs; for channel clear- ing, rectification, snagging, and bank protection, along Sacramento River and tributaries in Tehama County and from Red Bluff south- erly; for maintenance, during construction of these works, of the enlarged river channel below Cache Slough, including revetment of banks of the cut; and maintenance and operation during this period, of the gaging stations on navigable rivers and streams. The estimated Federal cost of the modified project, including new work and maintenance (made in 1941), is $30,750,000, exclusive of amounts expended under the previous project. In addition, local interests have contributed a total of $5,871,906.13 for levee construc- tion, bank-protection works, and levee set-backs. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of March 1, 1917 (H. Doc. No. 81, 62d Cong., 1st sess., as modified by Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 5, 63d Cong., 1st sess.), and modified by the Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928 (S. Doc. No. 23, RIVERS AND HARBORS-CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1769 69th Cong., 1st sess.), the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (Senate committee print, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), and the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. No. 205, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). For latest published maps, see the last two documents. Local cooperation.-The Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928, pro- vided that local interests were to contribute one-half the cost of con- struction of project levees, estimated at $3,191,500, and furnish the lands, rights-of-way, and easements therefor. The modified project which was adopted in the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, provided that the State of California should execute and maintain the remainder of the general flood-control proj- ect, not being done or to be done by the United States, and make illegal any levee, ditches, or other works in the bypasses or on the lands reserved for overflow that might reduce or impede the flood run-off, unless approved by the California Debris Commission; should hold and save the United States free from damages due to construe- tion works, and provided further, that the bank revetment for pro- tection of levees above Cache Slough, and the levee reconstruction recommended in the project document (Senate committee print, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), should not be undertaken until the State of Cali- fornia, political subdivisions thereof, or responsible local agencies have agreed to provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way for said works, including the cost of all alterations to highways, road crossings, and drainage and irrigation facilities incident to the work, and shall have contributed one-third of the cost of bank revetment and levee reconstruction, with the understanding that the contribution of funds will be made as required by the progress of the work; and the State of California was to under- take the operation of the movable top of Sacramento weir in accord- ance with the schedules established by the California Debris Com- mission. The modification of the project authorized in the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941, relieves local interests of all future construc- tion costs under the existing project, but requires them to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide all needed lands, easements, and rights-of-way free of cost to the United States, bear the expense of necessary highway, railroad, and bridge alterations, hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from construction of the works, and maintain and operate all flood-control works after completion, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. On August 22, 1941, the Secretary of War authorized acceptance of an advance of $750,000 from the State of California, in order that the work authorized in the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941, might be started during the fiscal year 1942. On October 7, 1941, an additional $200,000 was similarly authorized for acceptance. The above conditions are being complied with, progressive with the work. Operationsand results during fical year-New work.-Levees were constructed along flood channels, including reinforcement of incom- plete levees, clearing brush and removing snags, making test borings, work on plants for pumping drainage into Sutter Bypass, and inci- dental work on roads and irrigation facilities, with total yardages placed in levees as follows: Along Sacramento River, 14,735 cubic 1770 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 yards; Feather River, including its tiibutaries, Bear River and Yuba River, 1,048,636 cubic yards; Yolo Bypass, 441.764 cubic yards; Sut- ter Bypass, 4,648,255 cubic yards; and miscellaneous tributaries, 2,140.- 994 cubic yards. Total yardage of this levee work was 8,294,384 cubic yards, and total cost, including preliminary surveys and preparation of plans, was $1,668,404.91 by contract and $696,219.09 by hired labor and Government or hired plant, a grand total of 2,364,624.02. The sum of $250,000 was repaid to the State of California, on account, of the total amount of $950,000 advanced by the State to begin levee construction under the 1941 revised project. The following work, including surveys and preparations of plans, was done by hired labor and Government plant or plant under con- tract for its hire and operation, in bank protection and levee set-back activities on the main river, between Ryde (Mile 24) and Hamilton Bend (Mile 151), and in Sutter Slough and Georgiana Slough: 13 acres were cleared of brush; 288,343 cubic yards were moved in grad- ing banks; 408 squares of lumber mattress were laid; 22,746 tons of rock were placed on banks and revetments; and 2321500 cubic yards of material were placed in setting back levees. During the fiscal year a total of 3,400 linear feet of bank protection was completed. protec- tive work being done at 13 locations. Total cost of the preceding activities was $195,297.92. Miscellaneous construction accomplished for the State of California at its expense in connection with acquisition of rights-of-way for levees cost $63,027.52. Total cost of new work was $2,622,949.44. Maintenance.-Surveys with soundings, preliminary to dreciging, cost $148.72. A transfer of costs charged in 1942 to maintenance un- der advanced funds, in amount of $1,032.04, was made to United States funds, for maintenance, in fiscal year 1943. Total cost of all work during the fiscal year was as follows: Funds New work Maintenance Total United States funds (regular appropriations)- -.---... $1, 985,176. 52 $1, 180. 76 $1,986, 357. 28 Contributed funds ___-- 116, 644. 44 - _ 116, 644. 44 Advanced funds ___..----------------------- -- 521, 128. 48 -1, 032. 04 520,096. 44 Total, all funds ---------------------------- 2, 622, 949. 44 148. 72 2, 623, 098. 16 The total expenditures were $2,890,226.61, of which $2,253,485.73 was from United States funds, $520,096.44 from advanced funds, and $116,644.44 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was approxi- mately 78 percent complete. The channel improvement accomplished to date has produced a channel with a capacity of 570,000 cubic feet per second in the Sacramento River below Cache Slough. In addition, discharges up to 21,000 cubic feet per second can be diverted from the Sacramento River through Georgiana Slough. A total of 46,555,279 cubic yards has been placed in levees along the project waterways. Cut-offs at Collins Eddy and between Wild Irishman and Kinneys Bends were made in 1918 and 1919, respectively. Sacramento Weir was completed in 1917, Fremont Weir in 1924, Tisdale and Moulton Weirs in 1932, and Colusa Weir in 1933. Outfall gates at Knights Landing were constructed in 1930, and at the mouth of Butte Slough RIVERS AND HARBORS-CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1771 in 1936. Three pumping plants on Sutter Bypass are practically complete.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION Commission headquarters.-Vicksburg (Miss.) Office. Johnston Cir- cle, Vicksburg National Military Park. Address, P. O. Box 80. Commissioners.-The commissioners during the fiscal year were Brig. Gen. M. C. Tyler, Corps of Engineers. United States Army, president; Edward Flad, civil engineer; Col. Ernest Graves, United States Army, retired; Leo O. Colbert, rear admiral, director. United States Coast and Geodetic Survey; Albert L. Culbertson; Harry N. Pharr, civil engineer, and Col. Malcolm Elliott, Corps of Engineers, United States Army. The Mississippi River Commission, constituted by act of Congress of June 28, 1879, is in charge of the improvement of the Mississippi River from Head of Passes to the mouth of the Ohio River, including the rectification of Red and Atchafalaya Rivers at their junction with the Mississippi, the building of levees, and the improvement of the several harbors for which specific appropriations have been made. It was charged with the survey of the Mississippi River from Head of Passes to its headwaters and with gaging the river and its tributaries. Act of Congress approved March 4, 1913, provided funds for levees from Cape Girardeau, Mo., to Rock Island, Ill., and acts approved July 27, 1916, and March 1, 1917, provided for continuation of levee work between those points and extended the jurisdiction of the Com- MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1777 mission to include work on the Ohio River from its mouth to the mouth of the Cache River, and on the Arkansas River from its mouth to its intersection with the division line between Lincoln and Jefferson Counties, Ark. By act of Congress approved September 22, 1922, the jurisdiction of the Commission was extended for purposes of levee and bank protection to the tributaries and outlets of the Mississippi River between Cairo, Ill., and Head of Passes, insofar as they may be affected by the floodwaters of the Mississippi River, and by act of Con- gress approved March 4, 1923, to include the tributaries and outlets of the Mississippi between Rock Island, Ill., and Head of Passes. By the act of May 15, 1928, the project for the flood control of the Mis- sissippi River in its alluvial valley and for its improvement from the Head of Passes to Cape Girardeau, Mo. (including floodways Birds Point to New Madrid, Boeuf Basin, Bonnet Carre, Atchafalaya Basin), is to be prosecuted by the Mississippi River Commission under the direction of the Secretary of War and supervision of the Chief of Engineers subject to the provisions of that act. The Presi- dent of the Commission is designated as the executive officer thereof. Amendments to the 1928 act dated June 15, 1936, August 28, 1937, and June 28, 1938, provided for work in the St. Francis Basin and the Yazoo Basin, Eudora Floodway and extension (in lieu of Boeuf Floodway), Morganza Floodway and Wax Lake Outlet, thereby ex- tending the Commission jurisdiction to those areas. The act of Au- gust 18, 1941, amending the act of May 15, 1928, and subsequent acts cited above provided for work in the Yazoo and Red River backwater areas and also along Bayous Rapides, Boeuf and Cocodrie, La., ex- tending the Commission jurisdiction to those areas; this act also authorized abandonment of Boeuf Floodway, and Eudora Floodway with its extension, and repeal of previous acts as to prosecution of work therein, with corresponding necessary adjustment of main line levee grades. Location.-From its source in Lake Itasca, Minn., the Mississippi River flows in a general southerly direction 2,350 1 miles, and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. (See Mississippi River Commission maps and charts of various scales, also quadrangle maps, scale 1: 62,500.) Previous projects.-The original project contained in the report of the Mississippi River Commission, dated February 17, 1880, contem- plated the permanent fixing and improvement of the channel to a depth of at least 10 feet at extreme low water by the contraction of the low-water width to about 3,000 feet, the protection of the banks against caving, and the control of the floodwaters by means of levees. See page 1944, Annual Report for 1932. Existing project.-The existing project provides for the protection of the alluvial valley of the Mississippi, including the St. Francis, White, Yazoo, Tensas, Lafourche, Atchafalaya and Pontchartrain Basins, as well as certain east bank alluvial lands above Memphis and below Baton Rouge, from the maximum flood predicted as possible. Under the terms of the 1928 act, this was to be done by raising existing levees about 3 feet and strengthening them greatly and by permitting flood waters in excess of those which the leveed channel would safely carry to find their way to the Gulf through the natural floodways in the lowlands of the basins adjacent to the river, which lowlands have SThe distances are from latest available information with navigation through the cut-offs. 1778 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 always carried extraordinary floodwaters. Protecting levees to be built on the edges of these natural floodways were to restrain the waters within them so far as practicable and protect the good lands outside, these protecting levees to be located so as to reclaim the maxi- mum amount of land economically justified, and where such levees already exist (for example, in the Atchafalaya Basin), the existing levees to be used after strengthening; the floodwaters not to escape into the floodways until they reached a dangerous stage in the main leveed channel, thus insuring that the lands within the floodways be sub- jected to overflow only during extraordinary floods; the St. Francis Basin in southeast Missouri, and the city of Cairo, Ill., to be given additional safety by a floodway between Birds Point and New Madrid, Mo., which would, during extraordinary floods only, become an adjunct of the main channel and thereby widen the river and hold down stages; the city of New Orleans, to be given adequate pro- tection by a controlled spillway at Bonnet Carre emptying into Lake Pontchartrain from the river above the city. The project also provides for revetment to stabilize the river channel and prevent excessive caving of banks, supplemented by contraction works and dredging to improve flow conditions in the river and to insure a navigable chan- nel not less than 300 feet wide and 9 feet deep (existing projects for the, Mississippi River between the mouth of the Ohio River and the Head of Passes near the Gulf of Mexico, a distance of 9641 miles, provide for channels 300 feet wide and 9 feet deep from the Ohio River to Baton Rouge, and 500 feet wide and 35 feet deep from Baton Rouge to New Orleans with a maximum width of 1,500 feet within the limits of the port of New Orleans. The natural channel from New Orleans to the Head of Passes is at least 35 feet deep over a width of 1,000 feet); for flood-control work on the Mississippi River between Rock Island, Ill., and Cape Girardeau, Mo., and on tributaries and outlets, insofar as they are affected by backwater of the Mississippi; for rescue work or the repair or maintenance of any flood-control work on any tributaries threatened or destroyed by flood, including the flood of 1927; for examinations, surveys, and projects for flood control on the tributary streams; for reimbursement of levee districts or others for expenditures previously made in repair, etc., of flood- control work destroyed by the flood of 1927 or subsequent flood on any tributaries of the Mississippi River; and for physical investiga- tions, including surveys, gaging and mapping, and establishment of a hydraulic laboratory. Subsequent amendatory acts provide for flood control of the St. Francis River, Mo. and Ark., above backwater; for a backwater levee at mouth of White River, Ark.; for necessary levee raising in lieu of the Eudora and Boeuf floodways; for flood control of the Yazoo River, Miss., in its headwater and backwater reaches; for construction of the Morganza floodway, Louisiana, in lieu of the East Atchafalaya floodway; for construction of an outlet to the Gulf of Mexico, west of Berwick, La.; for the United States to provide drainage made necessary by the construction of floodway levees; for the construction of roads on levees; for the purchase of flowage rights in Morganza and West Atchafalaya floodways; and for improvement and regularization of the Mississippi River between Cairo and Red 2The distances are from latest available information with navigation through the cut-offs.

Local cooperation.-The following acts contain provisions relative to local cooperation, and excerpts are published in the Annual Re- ports of the Chief of Engineers as indicated: Acts of May 15, 1928, April 23, 1934, June 15, 1936, and August 28, 1937, pages 2012-2014 of 1938 report, June 28, 1938 (entire act), pages 2039-2042 of 1938 report, and August 18, 1941, pages 2178-2181 of 1941 report. The MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1781 requirements as to local cooperation have been and are being fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-See Port Series No. 5, Port of New Orleans, La. (revised 1938); Transportation Series Report No. 2, 1929, Trans- portation in the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys; and Transportation Series Report No. 4, 1936, Transportation Lines on the Mississippi River System. Operations and results during fiscal year-session of the Mississippi River Commission.-The two hundred and twentieth session of the Mississippi River Commission (October 20-24, 1942), was held on board the United States steamer Mississippi from Cairo, Ill., to New Orleans, La., via Mississippi River. Inspection was made of flood- control and navigation works along the Mississippi River. Public hearings were given to representatives of navigation, levee, com- mercial, and other interests during the session. Matters presented during the session pertaining to flood-control and navigation prob- lems were discussed by the Mississippi River Commission, acted on or referred to the district engineers of the respective engineer districts for appropriate action. Due to the war it was considered inadvisable to have the usual (1943) spring inspection trip of the Mississippi River Commission this year and that in lieu thereof inspections be made by the individual members when necessary. Members of the Commission inspected flood-control and naviga- tion projects during the fiscal year including levee construction work in the lower St. Francis levee district in vicinity of Nodena and Wilson, Ark.; Cross County, Ark., project ditch on St. Francis River, Ark.; and levees in the Rock Island and St. Louis districts. During the fiscal year the President of the Mississippi River Commis- sion made periodic inspections of flood-control and navigation works along the Mississippi River and tributaries in the alluval valley from Cairo, Ill., to the Gulf of Mexico, La.; these inspections included construction work under the flood-control and navigation projects authorized by congressional acts. In addition during the period of high water on the St. Francis, White, and Arkansas Rivers in May- June 1943, the President of the Commission secured troops of the United States Army for assisting in the relief in the flooded areas, repair of levees, and emergency work relative thereto. The areas affected were under constant surveillance of the president and ex- ecutive military assistants during the period of the high water. The flood fight was performed with expedition due to the combined efforts of the troops, the local authorities, and personnel of the president's office and district engineers offices. The performance of the troops was highly commendable. Work on certain portions of the existing project was suspended during the fiscal year 1943 by authority of the War Production Board to conserve manpower and materials. Data as to construction work are contained in the annual report of the President, Mississippi River Commission. In accordance with the provisions of section 10 of the act of May 15, 1928, the report upon Beaver River and tributaries, Pennsylvania 1782 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 and Ohio by the Pittsburg district, dated November 15, 1942, supple- menting the same report upon which the Commission acted in January 1936, was transmitted to the Chief of Engineers under date of April 22. 1943, with action of the Commission thereon.

S. ARMY, 1943 Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1943, will be applied during the fiscal year 1944 in the prosecution of work under the project adopted by the Flood Control Act approved May 15, 1928, and amendments and modifications thereto. It is estimated that there will be no available balance on June 30, 1944, from prior appropriations. Details as to proposed work for fiscal year 1944 are contained in the Annual Report of the President, Mississippi River Commission, page 1885 of this report. The sum of $35,000,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1945, under the assumption that existing wartime restrictions upon new work are still in effect.

S. ARMY, 1943 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT, MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1943 OFFICE OF PRESIDENT, MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION, Vicksburg, Miss., October 26, 1943. Subject: Annual Report for 1943. To: The Chief of Engineers, United States Army. LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The Mississippi River rises at Lake Itasca, Minn., and flows in a general southerly direction 2,3501 miles and empties into the Gulf of Mexico, La. The project comprises flood-control and cor- related works in the alluvial valley of the lower Mississippi River from Cape Girardeau, Mo. (54 miles above Cairo, Ill., gage), to the Head of Passes, La. 1,020 1 miles; flood-control works authorized under section 6 of the Flood Control Act of 1928 along the upper Mississippi River from Cape Girardeau, Mo., to Rock Island, Ill. (430 miles), and upon tributaries below Rock Island to limit of back- water effect of the Mississippi River; and 9-foot navigation Missis- sippi River below Cairo, Ill. OFFICE OF PRESIDENT AND DISTRICTS Two engineer officers of the Army have been detailed as executive assistants to the president of the Commission. One of these officers is also secretary of the Commission. In addition, two civilians have been detailed by the president of the Commission as executive assist- ants, of whom one is assigned as director of the Waterways Experi- ment Station. The river has been divided into five engineer districts as a matter of convenience in administration, and engineer officers of the Army are detailed as district enginieers in charge thereof. The duties of the district engineers consist of the prosecution of surveys, including field and office work, and maintenance of permanent marks pertaining thereto; maintenance and observation of gages, high-water, regular river and tide; discharge and slope observations on the Mississippi River and its tributaries; preparing plans and specifications; main- tenance of a navigable channel; carrying on general construction and improvement work in accordance with Flood Control Act approved May 15, 1928, and amendments and modifications thereto; and the disbursement of funds allotted by the Chief of Engineers to their respective districts in carrying out the provisions of the existing project. The district limits for works falling within the jurisdiction of the Mississippi River Commission are as follows: 2 Rock Island engineer district.-Mississippi River from upper limits of St. Louis district (Hamburg Bay, Ill., mile 263 above Cairo, Ill., 1Revised, using latest information, upper Mississippi River and 1942 distances, lower Mississippi River. 2 The mileage shown on Mississippi River above or below Cairo is based on zero mileage at the United States engineer gage at Cairo, Ill. (Mileage below Cairo derived from 1911-14 and 1921-25 surveys; above Cairo from latest data, upper Mississippi River; the new 1942 mileage above the Head of Passes, La., is also shown and so designated.) MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1795 on left (east) bank and Clemens Station, Mo., mile 302 above Cairo, Ill., on right (west) bank) to Rock Island, Ill., mile 484 above Cairo, Ill., 221 miles on left bank and 182 miles on right bank. District head- quarters are at Rock Island, Ill. Col. William J. Matteson, Corps of Engineers, United States Army, was district engineer until February 14, 1943, and Lt. Col. J. H. Peil, Corps of Engineers, United States Army, district engineer since that date. St. Louis engineer district.-MississippiRiver from upper limits of Memphis district (Thebes, Ill., mile 46, above Cairo, Ill., on left (east) bank and north bank of mouth of Little River Diversion Chan- nel, Mo. (just below Cape Girardeau, Mo.), mile 51, above Cairo, Ill., on right bank) to lower limits of Rock Island district (Hamburg Bay, Ill., mile 263, above Cairo, Ill., on left bank and Clemens Sta- tion, Mo., mile 302, above Cairo, Ill., on right bank), 217 miles on left (east) bank and 251 miles on right (west) bank. The boundaries of the district were extended to include the Illinois River and tribu- taries to the New La Grange Lock and Dam January 7, 1942. This district has charge also of flood-control operations within the limits of Mississippi River backwater influence on the Illinois and Missouri Rivers; on the Illinois River from the New La Grange Lock and Dam to Havana, Ill., the work is performed by the district engineer, Chi- cago, Ill. The jurisdiction of the Commission as to flood control was extended to include the backwater zones of tributaries of the Missis- sippi River below Rock Island, Ill., by the Flood Control Act of 1923. The limit of the jurisdiction thus conferred has been taken as the point beyond which a levee designed for protection against maximum flood of the tributary alone would not have to be made higher by reason of possible high water of the Mississippi River. In other words, it is the point where the backwater curve from the maximum Mississippi River flood meets the maximum flood line of the tributary. On the Illinois River this point has been fixed at mile 120, near Havana, Ill., and on the Missouri River at St. Charles, Mo. District headquarters are at St. Louis, Mo. Col. Roy W. Grower, Corps of Engineers, United States Army, was district engineer to August 4, 1942; Col. Lawrence B. Feagin, Corps of Engineers, United States Army, district engineer since that date.

Partial protection of backwater areas by backwater levees near mouths of White River, Ark., Yazoo River, Miss., and Red River, La. Protection levees in the basins on the west side of the Mississippi River below the Red River to protect the better lands in these basins and prevent the excess floodwaters of extraordinary floods leaving the main river near the head of the Atchafalaya Basin from spreading over the entire area of th-is basin. (Plans for the Boeuf floodway, authorized by act May 15, 1928, in Tensas Basin and the later authorized Eudora floodway in lieu thereof in the same basin, were abandoned by act of August 18, 1941. The 1941 act authorized the raising of levee grades in lieu of construction of the Tensas Basin floodway plan.) Flood control of the Yazoo River and tributaries, Mississippi, including con- struction of the Sardis, Arkabutla, Enid and Grenada Dams and Reservoirs, construction, extension, and enlargement of levees in the headwater and back- water areas, channel improvement and construction of cut-offs, etc. Morganza floodway, Louisiana. A controlled spillway to hold flood levels to safe stages at and near New Or- leans (Bonnet Carre spillway and floodway). An outlet to the Gulf of Mexico west of Berwick, La. (Wax Lake Outlet), including construction of appurtenant works. Improvements of flow conditions on the Atchafalaya River and its outlets. Improvement of Bayous Rapides, Boeuf, and Cocodrie, La. Continuation of improvement below the mouth of the Ohio River so as to "give safety and ease to navigation" on the Mississippi River at all stages by facili- tating the interchange of traffic, "commerce, trade, and the Postal Service, with a view to securing a permanent channel depth of 9 feet" by means of- (a) Revetment of caving banks and contraction work to "correct, permanently locate, and deepen the channel, and protect the banks of the Mississippi River," and for the preservation of harbors and the security of levees. (b) Dredging, Cairo, Ill., to Baton Rouge, La., for the purpose of maintaining at all stages a navigable channel 300 feet in width and 9 feet in depth, including construction, operation, and maintenance of suitable dredge boats and auxiliary devices and appliances therefor. Dredging is also carried on for the creation and maintenance of harbors and connecting channels. The maintenance of a navigable channel between the waters of the Missis- sippi, Red, and Atchafalaya Rivers. 1798 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Physical investigations: Maintenance of gages; discharge measurements of the Mississippi River and its tributaries; preparation and publication of maps and physical data; surveys and investigations covering all phases of river regi- men governing the work of channel improvement and flood control "from the headwaters of the Mississippi River to Head of Passes"; establishment of a hydraulic laboratory. Other miscellaneous details incident to the execution of the general project. For authorizing acts, see page 1779 of this report. RECOMMENDED MODIFICATIONS OF PROJECT See page 1780, this report. RIEFERENCES TO PUBLISHED ARTICLES NOT PREVIOUSLY REPORTE See page 1780, this report. LOCAL COOPERATION See page 1959, Annual Report for 1932, and page 1780, this report. The net amount contributed for work on the existing project (in- cluding contributions under section 7 of Flood Control Act approved May 15, 1928, totaling $2,866.78) amounted to $1,559,936.99, which includes $5,948.90 contributed for work paid from National Indus- trial Recovery Administration funds.

TERMINAL FACILITIES See page 1781, this report. OPERATIONS AND RESULTS DURING FISCAL YEAR SWurveys, gages, and observations (see p. 1961, Annual Report for 1932).-Topographic and hydrographic surveys of the Mississippi River have been made and charts published prior to fiscal year 1943. Surveys and reports required under sections 3, 6, and 7 of the May 15, 1928, act, are made as required. Surveys required under section 11 of the Flood Control Act were completed in 1931 and reports submitted. During fiscal year 1943 surveys were continued in connection with construction work in carrying out the provisions of the flood-control project. Floodway, levee, revetment, dike, dredging, and construction sur- veys were made as required; surveys were made of important works and along caving banks. Completion surveys were made of all levees completed during the year. A new set of distances was prepared showing locations above Head of Passes, La., to Cairo, Ill., with mileage through all recently com- pleted navigation improvement works. These data were compiled from 1941 information and published in a booklet entitled "Table of distances, Mississippi River from Head of Passes to Cairo and MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1799 Head of Passes to Gulf of Mexico, 1941." This new (1941) mileage, corrected by deduction of 17 miles for channel mileage reduction re- sulting from opening of Hardin Cut-off in 1942, is utilized in this report and shown as 1942 mileage. In addition the old mileage be- low Cairo based on surveys of 1911-14 Cairo to Red River Landing, and surveys of 1921-25 Red River Landing to Head of Passes is also shown as heretofore. In the Memphis district general hydrograpic surveys were made on Mississippi River from Three States Towhead (42.) 4 [926]5 to foot of Island 8 (51) [916]; from Williams Point (83) [882] to Stewart Towhead (89) [876]; from Hathaway Landing, Tenn. (106) [855], to Gayoso Bend (109) [851]; from Bells Point Landing, Mo. (116) [845], to Nebraska Landing, Tenn. (140) [818]; from Island 30 (165) [790] to Fulton, Tenn. (175) [781]; from bend of Island 35 (190) [765] to Happy Valley Bar (204) [755] ; from Loosahatchie Towhead (223) [736] to foot of Wyanoke Revetment (235) [725]; from Biggs Landing, Ark. (238) [722] to Josie Harry Towhead (243) [717]; from Norfolk Landing, Miss. (252) [708], to Battle Axe Landing, Ark. (281) [676]; and from St. Francis Bend (293) [675] to Knowl- ton Landing, Ark. (366) [614]. In the Vicksburg district cut-off, drainage (Bobo Bayou), levee location and realignment (Coldwater and Tallahatchie Rivers), property (Cassidy Bayou), silting (Hickahala Creek adjacent to Arkabutla Reservoir), reservoir (Grenada), ring levee (Greenwood, Miss.), and mapping surveys were made in the Yazoo Basin. Mis- sissippi River levee and bank protection surveys were made. In the New Orleans district hydrographic surveys were made over various reaches of the Mississippi River between Racetrack Towhead (606) [427] and Point Menoir, La. (819) [253]. Salinity observa- tions were discontinued for the duration of the war. Soil borings were made at the sites of new levees, levee enlargements, and levee closures, and other works. Bearing tests were made at the site of the drainage structure at Charenton, La. Electrically operated echo-sounding apparatus have been found very satisfactory in connection with hydrographic surveys, navigation chan- nel patrols, and discharge observations. Two units were operated in the Memphis district, one in the Vicksburg district, and six in the New Orleans district. Six units are mounted on medium-sized survey boats, one on a barge, and two on snag boats. Surveys and studies in connection with the geology of the alluvial valley of the Mississippi River were continued. Surveys and studies relative to seepage under levees were continued. Special surveys and observations on discharge, velocity, and direc- tion of flow were made in connection with the development of the cut-offs at Hardin (280-294)4 [675-677] ,5Jackson (339-349) [622- 624], and Sunflower (349-360) [620-622] on Mississippi River in the Memphis district. Starting in February 1943, special slope gage read- ings in connection with these observations were curtailed to the ex- tent that they are normally taken but once a month. Numerous spe- cial surveys and observations on discharge, velocity, and direction of flow were made in connection with the development of cut-offs at 4 Figures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, Ill., gage (1911-25). 5Figures in italics -miles via cutoffs above Head of Passes (1942). 558155--44-pt. 1, vol. 2---48 1800 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

In addition, special discharge observations were made in Wax Lake Outlet, Verdunville Canal, Berwick Bay (lower Atcha- falaya River), Bayou Teche, Bayou Courtableau, State Canal, Ruth Canal, Bayou Rouge, Bayou Lamourie, Bayou des Glaises and the di- version channel, Bayou Robert, Bayou Cocodrie, Bayou Latenache at drainage structure, Bayou Darbonne at drainage structure, Bayou Boeuf, Bayou Rapides, and in miscellaneous borrow pits and chan- nels. Discharge observations in the Atchafalaya Basin were discon- tinued at ranges located in Whiskey Bay Pilot Channel, Blind Tensas Cut, Upper Grand River, Lake Long, Bayou La Rompe, Grand Bayou, Lake Fausse Pointe Cut, Chicot Pass Channel, Chicot Lake, Bayou Chene Cut, Grand Avoille Cove, Little Atchafalaya River, Butte La Rose Bay, Bayou Pigeon Navigation Channel, Cow Island Cut-Off, Atchafalaya River, Jake's Bayou, Little Coon Trap, Big Bayou Chene, West Fork of Chicot Pass, Eleventh Pass, Burns Canal, Tarleton Bayou, Lake Mongoulois, and in borrow pits. A system of special gages was maintained and read in connection with the surveys and observations. Gages have been established, maintained, and read at various places on the Mississippi River and tributaries and outlets, and on Lake Pontchartrain, and the Gulf of Mexico, and readings published from earliest records to 1940. During the year the regular gages on Mis- sissippi River and tributaries and outlets, and on Lake Pontchartrain, gages in backwater areas, Biloxi and Eugene Island tide gages in Gulf of Mexico, automatic gages in the Intracoastal Waterway and Wax Lake Outlet, special slope gages, and high and low water gages on Mississippi River were maintained, also dam and reservoir gages. In the Memphis district backwater and floodway gages were read during the January, March-April, and May-June 1943 high waters. In the Vicksburg district Red River gage at Barbin Landing, La., was discontinued. The special Mississippi River gages established in connection with slope investigations and observations were read during crest periods only in 1943. In the New Orleans district auto- matic water level gages were installed in Charenton Canal at the Charenton, La., control structure and Upper Pointe Coupee Loop near the Bayou Latenache drainage structure. Automatic gages in Mud Lake and in the Intracoastal Waterway at Wax Lake Outlet cross- over and Bayou Black Settlement were discontinued. In conformity with circular letter, Office Chief of Engineers, No. 1232 (Construction Division No. 320), dated February 19, 1942, the time, as shown on all gage and discharge records, beginning February 9, 1942, 2 a. m.,was changed to central war time, which is 1 hour earlier than central standard time. In the Rock Island and St. Louis districts, surveys and reports under sections 6 and 7 of the act of May 15, 1928, are made as required. During the fiscal year 1943, surveys were continued for construction work in carrying out the provisions of the flood-control projects. 4 Figures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, Ill., gage (1911-25).

MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1801 Discharge and other observations on Mississippi River and tribu- taries at various stations are made each year and the results have been published from 1838 to 1940. During the fiscal year 1943 dis- charge observations were made at 12 regular stations on the Missis- sippi River and at 9 regular stations on tributaries and outlets. A new regular discharge station was established at Tiptonville, Tenn., on the Mississippi River. The Mayersville, Miss., station was dis- continued. Discharge observations were also taken at numerous other selected locations in the lower alluvial valley of the Mississippi River; sediment observations and division of flow measurements were also made at some stations. Summary.-Gages were maintained and discharge and slope ob- servations made. Surveys were made of important works and along caving banks. Floodway, outlet, dam, and reservoir, levee repair and set-back, revetment, dike, dredging, hydrographic, aerial, precise level, property, and construction surveys were also made. Observations and surveys were made in connection with the progress of cut-offs and channel rectification and stabilization on the Mississippi River. Soil borings and bearing tests were made. Surveys and studies in connection with Mississippi River alluvial valley geology were con- tinued. Surveys and studies relative to seepage under levees were continued. Publication of the topographic map of the alluvial valley, lower Mississippi River scale 1: 62,500 was continued. (In Memphis district one 1: 62,500 quadrangle map was completed before mapping operations were terminated for the duration of the war.) Publication of the alluvial valley map, scale 1:250,000, 1939 edition, was completed and 1: 500,000, edition 1939, was continued. The costs for surveys, gages, and observations during the 12 months ending June 30, 1943, all of which were incurred under regular funds, were as follows: District : Maintenance Rock Island------------------------------------------------$993. 17 St. Louis Memphis ------------------------------------------------- 234, 924. 88 Vicksburg------------------------------------------------171, 772. 42 New Orleans------ 119, 807.88 Total-------------------------------------------------- 527, 498. 35 The total cost for surveys, gages, and observations on the existing project to June 30, 1943, amounted to $8,550,902.31 (new work, $6,676,- 778.65; maintenance, $1,874,123.66), which amount includes $8,538,- 300.22 incurred from regular funds, $10,000 from National Industrial Recovery Administration funds, and $2,602.09 from Emergency Relief Administration funds.

Alluvial valley mapping.--Contoured maps, alluvial valley, lower Mississippi River, scale 1: 250,000, of the St. Francis, Yazoo-Tensas, and Atchafalaya-Pontchartrain Basins were published in 1929, and upon completion of revision in 1934 new maps were published as edition 1934; a contoured map, scale 1: 500,000, of the alluvial valley, lower Mississippi River, from Cape Girardeau, Mo., to Gulf of Mexico, was published in 1931, and upon completion of revision was published as edition 1935. Revision for publication of edition 1939 of both the 1:250,000- and 1:500,000-scale maps was completed and 1802 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 forwarded for printing in fiscal year 1940; the work of reproduction, scale 1: 250,000, was completed during fiscal year 1943. Data rela- tive to existing maps were collected and surveys made during 1929 to 1943 for use in the publication of a contoured map of the alluvial valley, lower Mississippi River, on a scale of 1: 62,500.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1803 During the fiscal year 1943 the process of editing and correcting the earlier editions for new published editions was continued. In addition surveys and preparation of manuscript maps for the quad- rangle areas more recently authorized for mapping and publication were continued at a curtailed rate because of war conditions. The costs for alluvial valley mapping during the 12 months ending June 30, 1943, all of which were incurred under regular funds, were as follows: District: Cost of new work Memphis ------------------------------------------- $53, 594. 75 Vicksburg ------------------------------------------ 105, 361.14 New Orleans -------------------- 371. 99 51,,----------------- Total ------------------------------------------------- 210, 327. 88 The total costs (all from regular funds) for alluvial valley mapping on the existing project to June 30, 1943, amounted to $1,828,624.38 (all new work), which includes $362,927.81 transferred to Department of the Interior, Geological Survey Office, for direct expenditure by that office. General stages of the Mississippi River during the 12 months ending June 30, 1943.--In the St. Louis district the Mississippi River was in flood essentially in only two separate periods, namely, iii July 1942 and in May and June 1943. A rise of smaller extent occurred about the first of January. In the Memphis district moderate stages prevailed during the first month of the fiscal year, followed by 3 months of mod- erately low stages. Moderate to high stages prevailed the remainder of the year. The 1943 crest stage was 9.03 feet above bankfull at Cairo (0.0) [966], 5 4.75 feet above bankfull at Memphis (227) 4 [733], and 5.90 feet above bankfull at Helena (307) [660]. In the Vicksburg district the 1943 crest stage was 0.8 foot below bankfull at Arkansas City (438) [549], 3.4 feet above bankfull at Greenville (Warfield sec- tion) (486) [539], 1.2 feet above bankfull at Lake Providence (542) [480], and 2.9 feet above bankfull at Vicksburg (602) [432] (canal gage). In the New Orleans district the 1943 crest stage was 3.6 feet above bankfull at Natchez (706) [360], 5.45 feet above bankfull at Red River Landing (772) [300], 6.5 feet above bankfull at Donaldsonville (895)4 [175] , and 7.17 feet above bankfull at Carrollton (976) [104] (New Orleans). The following gives a general outline of the stage at principal gaging stations, Mississippi River, from St. Louis to Carrollton, La.: At St. Louis (181.6 miles above Cairo, Ill., gage), a crest of 34.2 was attained on June 30, 1942, and the flood stage, 30 feet on the gage, con- tinued to be exceeded through July 5, 1942. The stage then fell fairly uniformly until a reading of 8.0 was recorded on July 29. During the following 5 months, readings varied between 16.9 and 2.0 feet, the latter reading occurring on December 17. During the latter part of Decem- ber, a rapid rise, featured by a jump of 12.5 feet in the 24-hour period from 8 a. m. on the 27th to 8 a. m. on the 28th, resulted in a stage of 29.2 feet being reached on January 1, 1943. Thereafter, the stage dropped rapidly until late in January a low of 3.5 was reached. From this point a more or less steady rise progressed until on May 24 a 4Figures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, Ill., gage (1911-25). ZFigures in italics-miles via cutoffs above Head of Passes (1942). 1804 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 reading of 38.9 feet, the highest stage since 1844, was obtained. After quickly falling to 22.5 by June 5, another crest of 34.9 was attained on June 26 and a rapid drop was under way as the fiscal year ended. Stages at St. Louis were above flood stage for 5 days in July 1942, for 14 days during the May 1943 flood, and for 21 days in June 1943. The river was slightly over flood stage at St. Louis as the fiscal year ended. At Chester (111.5 miles above Cairo, Ill., gage), stage fluctuations generally similar to those described for St. Louis were experienced. The reading on July 1, 1942, 33.9 feet, was the peak stage for the flood prevailing at that time. Flood stage of 27.0 feet was exceeded for 10 days during July. The lowest reading during the fiscal year was observed on December 23, when a 4.1 stage occurred. The December-4 January rise produced a stage which exceeded bankfull for 4 days. The May 1943 flood attained a peak stage at Chester of 38.1 feet on May 25, the highest stage since 1844; and flood stage was exceeded for 18 days during this rise. A June crest of 32.9 feet was reached on the 28th, flood stage being exceeded for 22 days before the fiscal year ended with the water still more than 4 feet higher than flood stage. At Cape Girardeau (54.1 miles above Cairo, Ill., gage), stage con- ditions in general followed closely the fluctuations described at St. Louis and Chester in the above two paragraphs. The peak July 1942 stage was 36.8 feet on the 2d, and the flood stage, 32 feet, was exceeded a total of 8 days in July. The low reading of the fiscal year, 10.8 feet, was obtained on December 23. The rise at the end of the calen- dar year resulted in a peak stage of 34.3 feet on January 2, 1943, flood stage being exceeded for only 4 days during this period. The May 1943 flood produced a peak stage of about 42.4 feet on May 27, the highest stage since 1844, whereas the June peak was about 36.7 feet on the 29th. Flood stage was exceeded for 19 days during the May flood and for last 21 days in June, the stage being more than 4 feet over flood stage as the fiscal year ended. At Cairo (0.0) 4 [966]5 the lowest reading was 13.49 on October 28, 1942, and highest reading was 53.0 on May 30, 1943. Stages above 20 feet obtained July 1 to 27, August 8 to 19, August 24 to September 2, September 15, November 10, to December 18, December 25 to June 30, totaling 277 days; above 30 feet, July 1 to 16, December 29 to January 20, February 6 to 21, March 15 t6 April 12, April 16 to June 30, total- ing 160 days; above 40 feet, December 31 to January 17, March 20 to April 7, April 26 to May 3, May 17 to June 10, totaling 70 days; and above 50 feet, May 26 to June 3, totaling 9 days. At Memphis (227) [733] the lowest reading was 7.0 feet on Septem- ber 9, which is 3.9 feet above mean low water. The highest reading was 38.75 on June 4 and 5. Stages above 30 feet obtained January 5 to 20, March 25 to April 10, May 23 to June 13, totaling 55 days. At Helena (307)4 [660]5 the lowest reading was 9.75 feet on Septem- ber 10, which is 6.35 feet above mean low water. The highest read- ing was 46.9 feet on June 7. Stages above 40 feet obtained January 16 to 18, March 31 to April 11, May 27 to June 15, totaling 35 days.

Carrollton gage (967)4 [104]5 stages above 10 feet obtained July 1 to 18, 1942, January 8 to 30, February 21 to 23, and March 25 to June 30, 1943, totaling 142 days. The highest reading for the 12-month period was 18.17 feet on June 12, 1943; and. the lowest reading 1.20 feet on October 26, 1942. Dredges and dredging.-A total of over 358,751,000 cubic yards has been dredged in channel maintenance on the Mississippi River during the past 15 years including fiscal year 1943 in the Memphis, Vicksburg, and New Orleans districts. In addition, during the fiscal year 1940, 1,784,000 cubic yards were dredged in premaintenance dredging in the Memphis district and 11,086,000 cubic yards during fiscal year 1941 in the Memphis, Vicksburg, and New Orleans districts. During 1942 fiscal year 7,238,000 cubic yards were dredged in connection with pre- maintenance dredging in the Memphis and Vicksburg districts, and during fiscal year 1943, 1,199,000 cubic yards were dredged in Mem- phis district (no premaintenance dredging was done in the Vicksburg and New Orleans districts during fiscal year 1943). The present law requires the maintenance of a channel in the Mis- :sissippi River from Cairo to Baton Rouge not less than 9 feet in depth and 300 feet in width at all stages of the river except when closed by ice. A channel of project dimensions was maintained during fiscal year 1943 in the Memphis, Vicksburg, and New Orleans districts. During the fiscal year 1943 in the Memphis district channel patrols showed the least depth to be as follows: Cairo to New Madrid reach, 15 feet in October; New Madrid to Memphis, 10 feet in October; Mem- phis to Helena, 10 feet in August; and Helena to Rosedale, 9 feet in August; channel width was in excess of 300 feet in all reaches through- out fiscal year 1943. In the Vicksburg district the controlling depths were as follows: Rosedale to Greenville 10 feet in August; Greenville to Lake Providence 11 feet in October and November; Lake Providence to Vicksburg 10 feet in August; channel width was in excess of project dimensions during the fiscal year. In New Orleans district channel patrols during the fiscal year 1943 showed a least depth of 15 feet in the Vicksburg to Natchez reach, 18 feet from Natchez to Angola, and 28 feet from Angola to Baton Rouge for widths of 300 feet or more.

Old River, La.: No dredging was required in the vicinity of the mouth of Old River, La. (772) [301], during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943. Premaintenancedredging.--Dredgingto determine the feasibility of training channels by early dredging, prior to the low-water stage, to prevent the difficulties encountered at that time was initiated during the fiscal year 1931; this work demonstrated the feasibility of this type of dredging and is now generally employed in the most troublesome reaches; in 1930 a system of frequent surveys of river crossings and marking channel lines at crossings by buoys was inaugurated; this system is probably responsible in large measure for the small amount of navigation trouble experienced, which was less than in years of higher low-water stages. The costs for dredging during the 12 months ending June 30, 1943, all of which were incurred from regular funds, were as follows: District Cost of new Cost of main- work tenance Memphis ...-- ----------------------------------------------------- $8,086.35 $1,276, 868. 52 Vicksburg _ _ . .--------------------------------------------------- 102, 638. 85 1, 510, 419. 71 New Orleans .. ------------------------------------------------ 432, 162. 73 812, 555. 43 Total ..............................................--------------------------------------------------. 542, 887.93 3, 599, 843. 66 1 Does not include dredging Atchafalaya Basin and Wax Lake Outlet.

For net expenditures on previous project see page 1710, Annual Report for 1937. Effectiveness of out-offs and channel-improvement work.-In 1932 a program for improving the Mississippi River by cut-offs and channel rectifications was initiated. Twelve cut-offs were made between the Arkansas and Red Rivers, and three between Memphis and the Arkansas River. A natural cut-off occurred at Yucatan in the fall of 1929. These cut-offs combined with other channel improvements have shortened the low-water channel of the river about 170 miles, about 135 of which is between the head of Caulk cut-off and the foot of Glasscock cut-off. The 1943 discharge measurements indicate that stages above bankfull have been lowered 9 to 10 feet at Vicksburg, 13 to 14 feet at Arkansas City, 2 to 4 feet at Helena, and about 2 feet at Memphis. The flood-carrying capacity of the central portion of the river has been increased thereby by amounts varying from around 100,000 cubic feet per second to as much as 700,000 to 800,000 cubic feet per second. Low-water stage also has been lowered by the cut- offs but the amount is, generally, considerably less than the high- water lowerings. A number of troublesome bars have been eliminated by the cut-offs, and low-water depths over the remaining bars have been adequate for navigation. Effect of sand fills or dikes on channel improvement.-Sand fills or dikes have been used comprehensively in the channel-improvement program to promote closure of secondary channels; to prevent forma- tion of sand bars in the middle of wide reaches of the river; and to accelerate extension of sand bars and deflect the direction of currents. In general these works have been successful in causing the river to accomplish desired changes in channel or bank configuration; they are not to be regarded as permanent structures, although in many cases they have proved permanent. They have in most cases been constructed from waste material incidental to channel or improve- ment dredging in the immediate vicinity. In some localities, how- ever, they were constructed from material pumped from the river for that particular purpose. The sand fill at Wyanoke (235-238)4 [739-742]5 has closed off the low-water flow through a secondary channel and stopped caving along the right bank that was threatening the adjacent levee. The effect of sand fills or dikes on channel im- provement at Miller Bend (459)4 [538],5 Upper and Lower Ashbrook, Lake Providence, and Racetrack have proven unusually satisfactory. A major channel change was accomplished at Hardscrabble (654) [396] by use of a sand fill across the former low-water channel, the fill being constructed of spoil from a new or "point-way" channel which was dredged through a large sand bar. Although it is too early to determine the permanent results, the immediate benefits were the elimination of a troublesome low-water crossing and caving in the upper portion of Hardscrabble Bend. At Kempe Bend a point- way cut was made along the left bank and the spoil was deposited to form a sand dike to the right of the cut. This restricted flow through the middle and upper part of the old bend channel and concentrated the flow across the point. 4Figures in parentheses denote distance in miles below Cairo, Ill., gage (1911-25). * Figures in italics-miles via cutoffs above Head of Passes (1942). 1812 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 CONDITION OF CHANNEL Except when blocked by ice and during other rare and brief periods of extreme low water there is in the Mississippi River a continuous navigable channel with a depth of 9 feet or more and a width of at least 300 feet for a distance of 737 7 miles from Cairo to Baton Rouge and with a depth of not less than 35 feet and a width of several hundred feet at all times for the remaining 250 miles to the Gulf of Mexico via Southwest Pass. This navigable channel from Cairo to Baton Rouge is also of ample width and of at least 14 feet depth during 5 to 8 months of each year when high stages prevail on the river. The following are depths and widths for the different stretches of the river below Cairo that can be relied upon except during unusually low stages: Cairo to Memphis, Tenn., 234 miles, least depth 9 feet for width of 300 feet. Low-water channel maintained by dredging. The above mileage is based on 1942 navigation channel. Memphis to mouth of Arkansas River, Ark., 158 miles, least depth 9 feet for width of 300 feet. Low-water channel usually maintained by limited amount of dredging. The above mileage is based on 1942 navigation channel and on navigation of cut-offs at Hardin Point, Jackson, and Sunflower. The navigation lights marking the old bend- way at Hardin Point were removed August 11, 1942. Sunflower Cut- off was lighted for navigation June 2, 1942, and the lights marking the old bendway channel at Sunflower were removed October 1, 1942. Mouth of the Arkansas River to Vicksburg, Miss., 143 miles, least depth 9 feet for width of 300 feet. Low-water channel maintained by a limited amount of dredging.

Doc. 597. 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This work is under the jurisdiction of the New Orleans engineer district (iiver and harbor work). MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1813 leans engineer district, Louisiana, under river and harbor work. The above mileage is based on the 1942 navigation channel. At the end of the fiscal year the governing depth to the Gulf of Mexico through Southwest Pass was 35 feet with a minimum width of 400 feet. South Pass was closed to navigation February 17, 1942, but reopened on July 17, 1942. Governing depth through South Pass at the close of the fiscal year was 30 feet with a minimum width of 400 feet. Depths refer to mean low water-as reported by the district engineer, New Orleans, La. (under river and harbor work.) NAVIGATION DATA To facilitate navigation of the Mississippi River from Cairo Ill., (at the mouth of Ohio River), to the Gulf of Mexico, La., the IMissis- sippi River Commission has prepared a set of maps revised annually covering the above reach of river showing location of navigation lights, channel line, and other features pertaining to navigation. Channel reports are issued during the low-water season (twice weekly by the Memphis district, when necessary by the Vicksburg district and weekly by New Orleans district) giving the markings of the low-water channel and the depths at crossings. Occasional reports are issued during medium stages and special reports covering dredging opera- tions, critical crossings or obstructions in the channel are issued when necessary. The United States Coast Guard also issues channel re- ports for the Mississippi River. Channel realignment, Arkansas River, vicinity of Pine Bluff, Ark.- During the fiscal year 1939 a channel was excavated across Boyd Point, Arkansas River, in the vicinity of Pine Bluff, Ark., for the purpose of relieving the attack on the revetment. During the high water of October and November, 1941, a substantial change developed in the channel alignment which diverted the attack and affected the outlet of the city storm sewer. During the fiscal year extension of the sewer was initiated with costs amounting to $6,989.67. The costs in fiscal year 1943 and the total costs to June 30, 1943, amounting to $75,349.95, all incurred under existing project from regular funds, are distributed as follows: Costs, fiscal year 1943 Total costs to June 30, 1943 Class of work New work Maintenance New work Maintenance Channel cut-off, etc $67, 952. 27 $408.01 Sewer line------------ -------------------- $6,210.80-------------- 6, 210.80 ..............

The work included revetment surveys and repairs to plant. New Orleans district.-During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943, 1,420 linear feet covering 373,095 square feet of asphalt revetment were placed as extensiQn to existing revetment. Summary for fiscal year eiiding Jtune 30, 1943.-Below Cairo, 3,595 linear feet of new revetinent, covering 808,000 square feet were con- structed and placed for bank protection; in addition 3,677,500 square feet of articulated concrete, 477,900 square feet of concrete blocks, 70,000 square feet of concrete paving, 678,695 square feet of asphalt revetment, 143,000 square feet of riprap, and 191,900 square feet of stone paving (riprap) were constructed and placed as repairs and re- newals of existing bank protection work. Existing revetments were extended as maintenance, as follows: 7,570 linear feet of articulated concrete, 10,220 linear feet of asphalt, 707 linear feet of concrete blocks, and 2,900 linear feet of willow. Under the contraction works program, Mississippi River, no pile dikes were constructed and no minor main- tenance work was carried on in connection with existing contraction works. For tabulation of lengths of contraction works in place, see page 1930 Annual Report 1942. Summary since 1928.-Since work began in 1928 under the present flood control project provided for in congressional act dated May 15, 1928, approximately 488,000 linear feet of new revetment for bank protection covering 92.6 miles of river bank have been constructed and placed along the Mississippi River below Cairo 9 (not including rock groins, pile dikes, or crib dikes). In addition in 1943 fiscal year, approximately 21,000 o0linear feet (about 4 miles) of revetment ex- tensions were placed as maintenance. Under the contraction works program more than 199,000 linear feet of pile dikes (37.7 miles) were constructed in the Memphis district and 480 linear feet in the Vicks- burg district.

On June 30, 1943, the estimated content of the levee lines already up to or in process of construction to the adopted project grade and sec- tion covering the main river project levees from Cape Girardeau, Mo., to Head, of Passes, La., as provided for in section 1 of the act May 15, 1928, and projects (under sec. 1) adopted by amendments and modi- fications to the 1928 act, was about 1,045,133,00012 cubic yards and about 257,889,000 " cubic yards remain to be placed to complete this project. Approximately 608,000 cubic yards were placed in levees under sec- tion 7 of the 1928 act and amendment during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1943 (maintenance and repairs); no estimate is practicable of the yardage remaining to be placed under these sections. During the past 15 years more than 839,953,000 cubic yards have been placed in levees (789,603,000 cubic yards under sec. 1 and 50,350,- 000 cubic yards under section 6 of the act dated May 15, 1928); in addition some 12,059,000 cubic yards were placed under sections 6 and 7, of the May 15, 1928, act, and section 9 of the June 15, 1936 act during the same period (maintenance and repairs). The average price for levee work initiated during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1943, was 30.14 cents in Memphis district, 24.59 cents in the Vicksburg district, and 25 cents in the New Orleans district. These average prices cover both contract and hired labor work and include overhead charges. Outline of levee plant utilized: In the Memphis district, during the fiscal year 1943, the principal plant used by contractors in the construction of levee work was as follows: (a) In the placing of compacted fill, hauling equipment was used which consisted of Euclid trac-truks, Athey wagons, Caterpillar tractors and wagons, and Koehring trucks, the capacity of which ranged from 12 to 18 cubic yards. This type of equipment was loaded by draglines with buckets varying in capacity from 13/4 to 31/2 cubic yards. (b) In the placing of uncompacted fill, large draglines, with buckets varying in capacity from 4 to 8 cubic yards, were used, and in some cases, where the cast was too great for one machine, two machines were used. (c) One compacted fill contract is being constructed with self-loading scraper 12Does not include yardage to be abandoned in the course of construction of new levees; the amount, however, does include 1,170,957 cubic yards in excess of the 1928 project grade and section placed in levee line between Bonnet Carre spillway and New Orleans, to bring the levee line approximately equal in strength to the better portions of the New Orleans river- front levee. The amount, however, does include levees in the Vicksburg district as covered in footnote 48 of table 2 to be abandoned in the course of construction of future set-back levees, estimates of yardage not presently available. 13The yardage required to complete the levee system does not include yardage necessary for the levees in the backwater of the Yazoo Basin or the Red River backwater levees, estimates of which are not presently available. 14 Including yardage placed in liock Island and St. Louis districts under Flood Control General Acts of June 22, 1936, and June 28, 1938, and later similar acts, 23,622,000 cubic yards (1,362,589 cubic yards Rock Island district and 22,259,000 cubic yards St. Louis district). Further details of flood-control general works are contained in annual reports of Rock Island and St. Louis districts (river and harbor work). 1822 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, TJ. S. ARMY, 1943 units, varying in capacity from 8 to 14 cubic yards. (d) In the excava- tion of the drainage ditch in Cross County, Ark., three 6W Monighans, one 621 Page and one 95 Northwest dragline are being used. In the Vicksburg district during the first several years of the 10-year levee construction program steam tower or cableway machines and long boom draglines with buckets of 6 to 8-cubic-yard capacity were used extensively. Several reaches of levee were constructed by hydraulic dredges with small draglines as auxiliary equipment for cutting drain ditches and for dressing slopes and crown of levee. Tractor and wagon units were used almost exclusively for handling material from pits beyond the reach of the tower machine or boom dragline. The wagons of from 5- to 7-yard capacity were loaded by a small drag- line or a belt-type elevating grader. In the latter part of the 10-year program hydraulic dredge operations have been confined to the con- struction of levee foundations at slough or lake crossings, berm construction, and borrow pit refills. Steam powered land plant has given way to Diesel electric equipment of much greater capacities and economy. Tractor and wagon units are still being used quite extensively on long haul jobs and the track truck has been used very successfully on long haul work due to its speed and economy of oper- ation. In the New Orleans district, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943, no levee building equipment of an experimental nature was tried. Hired labor activities were continued during the year, using district-owned plant and equipment consisting of draglines, bulldozer tractors, and hauling equipment. Levees were built under contract with draglines, hydraulic pipe-line'dredges, tower machines, and hauling equipment. Practically all levee construction work in the Rock Island Engineer district is done by contract; the equipment used consists of dragline machines, small pipe-line dredges and scrapers; the use of Government-owned, floating pipe-line dredges for pumping material from the bed of the river for levee construction has also been successful. Levee work in the St. Louis, Mo., Engineer district was performed by contractors using the following types of equipment: draglines, from 11 to 6% cubic yard capacity; scraper wagons (carry-all), from 6 to 12 cubic yard capacity, pulled by tractors. In the New Orleans district, asphalt, wave-wash protection was placed on old and new levees below New Orleans, as follows: Fiscal year 1935, 12,925 linear feet; fiscal year 1936, 59,489 linear feet; fiscal year 1937, 23 484 linear feet; none during fiscal years 1938 and 1939; fiscal year 1940, 17,225 linear feet; and 6,910 linear feet during fiscal year 1941; none during the fiscal years 1942 and 1943. For the convenience of administration, allotment of funds, and handling of local contributions for levee purposes, the Mississippi River front below Rock Island, Ill., has been divided by the Federal authorities into reaches, sometimes designated as levee districts. In some instances these reaches or districts embrace the river fronts of several local levee organizations. The names and locations of the reaches, as now established, are tabulated in Annual Report, Chief of Engineers, 1942, pages 1934, 1935. Local levee districts on tributaries of the Mississippi River up to the limit of flood-control work as provided for under the approved project are tabulated in Annual Report Chief of Engineers, 1942, pages 1936-38. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1823 Levee work under sections 1, 6, and-7 of the act approved May 15, 1928, and section 9 of the act approved June 15, 1936, and under flood- control general acts of June 22, 1936, and June 28, 1938, as amended, is summarized below in tables 1A, 1B, 1C, 2 and 3 which show present conditions of levees below Rock Island, Ill., and levee operations during the fiscal year 1943.

The above amounts do not include yardage placed in St. Louis district under flood control, general, acts. (The work under flood control, general, acts Rock Island and St. Louis districts is under the division engineer, upper Mississippi Valley division; detailed reports are con- tained in annual reports of the districts under river and harbor work.) Wooden revetment (New Orleans district).-Wooden revetment is employed as a breakwater for protection of earthen levees against wave action. Permanent wooden revetment is used principally on Mississippi River levees below New Orleans. There are in existence at the present time approximately 12.8 miles of effective wooden re- vetment on the left bank and 39.3 miles on the right bank. A total of 7,905 linear feet of wooden revetment was constructed along the Mis- sissippi River levees, below New Orleans, during fiscal year 1943, all in Lake Borgne levee district along left or east bank.

Closure of Grand Avoille Cove to an interim grade was effected during the year. The west levee line now furnishes protection from Mansura, La., to the head of Wax Lake outlet except for small gaps which can be readily closed in an emergency. The levee from Wax Lake outlet to Berwick Bay is now complete except for a low portion of the crossing at lower Atchafalaya River. The east levee now furnishes complete protection from Morganza, La., to Morgan City, except for certain portions between Old River and Morgan City which are below project grade, and except for gaps at the main highway and railroad crossings and the navigation pass below Little Bayou Pigeon. Additional provisions for drainage intercepted by the West Atcha- falaya Basin protection levee were made during the year. A contract was awarded and work is in progress on the Charenton Beach Road culvert at Charenton Beach. Surveys and investigations are under way with a view to extension of flood control below Morgan City, La. Minor dredging was undertaken in the Atchafalaya Basin main channel during the fiscal year. A system of gages has been maintained for the study of results obtained from previous dredging work and in planning future work. Roadway traffic interrupted by construction of the East and West Atchafalaya Basin protection levees and excava- tion of borrow pits therefor has been restored by construction of sec- ondary bridges across the levee borrow pits, by closure of gaps, and by provision of ramps for highway crossings. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1843 Abstracts of title have been prepared, appraisals have been made, and negotiations are well under way for acquisition of rights-of-way for dredged channels and cut-offs in the Atchafalaya Basin. Options have been obtained on approximately 76 percent of the land values in- volved, and payments have been made for approximately 63.3 percent of the land value. Pursuant to the authority contained in the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, authorizing payment for flowage over all lands not sub- ject to frequent overflow in the Atchafalaya Basin below the latitude of Krotz Springs, investigation and surveys have been made and topo- graphic maps are in progress to delineate the lands that are considered not subject to frequent overflow. Abstracts of title have been pre- pared and easements are being obtained to cover approximately 700 acres of this land in the general vicinity of Bayou Chene at a cost of $22,000. Options have been obtained on approximately 94 percent and payments have been made for approximately 67 percent of the land values in the Bayou Chene area. Options have also been ob- tained on 97.9 percent of the land values for the Morgan City front area above Brashear Avenue and payments have been made for ap- proximately 97.7 percent of this area. Other areas in the basin are under consideration and offers will be obtained as the claims are presented.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1845 During the 12 months ending June 30, 1943, spillway maintenance cost amounted to $83,503.54; and the total cost to June 30, 1943, amounted to $15,013,601.37 comprising $14,437,818.96 regular funds, $135,000 National Industrial Recovery Administration funds, and $440,782.41 Emergency Relief Administration funds, all incurred by the New Orleans district under the existing project distribution under classes of work being as follows: Costs, fiscal year 1943 Total costs to June 30, 1943 Class of work New work Maintenance New work Maintenance Rights-of-way- -- _------ -------- --------------- -------------- $6, 223,963.30 _........... .......-------------- Levees-----...........---------...................-----------------........------------------ 3,329,173. 38 Spillway structure......................----------------------.. ---------------- ................ --.....----- 3,366, 203. 00 Service bridges and needles-------- .........-- ---........-------------...... ........-------------. 213, 715.19 Engineering, etc---------... .--------------------------------------- 270, 458. 48 Clearing and cleaning------------------------------------------- 733, 980. 76 -- Spillway maintenance--------------------...............................---------- $83, 503. 54 .....--------......-------- $876, 107. 26 Total...------- -------------------------------- 83, 503. 54 14, 137, 494. 11 876, 107. 26 White River backwater levee, Arkansas.-The White River back- water levee project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 15, 1936. The project covers about 140,000 acres located in the State of Arkansas and is in general bounded by the Mississippi and White Rivers, Big Creek, and Old Town Lake. A large part of this area was subjected almost annually to White River floodwaters and _Mississippi River backwater. Levee construction to an interim grade was begun early in fiscal year 1939 and was completed in July 1941. The completed interim levee required approximately 14,000,000 cubic yards of earth fill. (The total amount of earthwork involved is esti- mated to be approximately 32,000,000 cubic yards.) In order to prevent overtopping in the vicinities of outlet structures and at the junction with Laconia Circle, the top grade of the interim levee was constructed 3 feet above the normal interim levee grade for a distance of approximately 1 mile at each locality. Two sand fuse-plug sections, with a 3-foot clay blanket on the riverside slope, have been constructed to interim grade in order to control the points of entry of floodwaters into the area. One section just north of Oak Bayou was constructed hydraulically by Government plant and hired labor, and the second section, near Bee Bayou, was constructed hydraulically by contract. The area to be enclosed by the proposed levee is approximately 140,000 acres. Local interests are required by law to furnish all flowage ease- ments as well as rights-of-way necessary for levee construction and are fully meeting these requirements. The White River backwater levee project also included the construction of outlet drainage struc- tures through the levee by the Federal Government. The contracts for the construction of Little Island Bayou and Deep Bayou outlets drainage structures were awarded in July and August 1939, respec- tively, and were completed in February 1940. Completed embankment construction to date includes 19,533,216 cubic yards of earthwork, which includes two sand fuse-plug sections, three drainage structures, and levee embankment. In addition 291,621 cubic yards have been excavated in the construction of ditches. 1846 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMYY 1943 Contracts amounting to 3,435,000 cubic yards of levee construction to the present approved grade, between levee stations 29/30 and 40/44 were awarded during the fiscal year. A total of 1,127,132 cubic yards of material was placed in the levee under the project during the fiscal year. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1943, cost amounted to $401,- 083.51; and total cost to June 30, 1943, amounted to $5,070,071.79. Distribution of the fiscal year and total costs to June 30, 1943, all of which were incurred by the Memphis district under the existing proj- ect from regular funds, is as follows: Costs, fiscal year 1943 Total costs to June 30, 1943 Class of work New work Maintenance New work Maintenance Levees ... __----------------------- . ------- $400,841. 19 $242. 32 $4,557, 666.61 $732.15 Clearing, sodding, and seeding ...--------..----------------..-------------- 28, 438. 17 _ _ Outlet structures _____ 483, 234.86 .............

DAMS AND RESERVOIRS St. Francis Basin project, Missouri-Arkansas.-Authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 15, 1936, as amended, the St. Fran- cis Basin project levee and reservoir plan for flood control provides for construction of a dam and reservoir at Wappapello, Mo. The dam, a rolled earth fill structure with its crest at elevation 420 mean sea level, creates a reservoir with a controlled storage capacity of 585,000 acre-feet at spillway crest elevation 395. Construction of the dam was started in 1938 and completed in June 1941. Summary description of the improvement is presented in Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers, 1942, pages 1967-1969. The maximum water elevation in the reservoir during the fiscal year, the highest stage of record, was 382.4 mean sea level on May 22, 1943. Reservoir release was restricted to approximately 5,000 cubic feet per second, instead of 10,000 cubic feet per second as planned, to avoid possible failure of the existing inadequate levees downstream where project levees have not been constructed due to failure of local interests to furnish rights-of-way. Storage at elevation 382.4 was approximately 370,000 acre-feet, including approximately 40,000 acre-feet in the conserva- tion pool at elevation 355. The pool area at the crest elevation of 382.4 was approximately 17,700 acres. This high stage was the re- sult of storms of May 10-11 and 18-20, 1943, which averaged about 61/2 inches (estimated) of rainfall over the reservoir drainage area of 1,310 square miles; producing a run-off of about 5.8 inches from the area. The instantaneous peak rate of inflow to the reservoir was approximately 88,000 cubic feet per second in the afternoon of May 11. At the end of the fiscal year the reservoir pool level had receded to elevation 362.4 and evacuation of the run-off of the May storms MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1847 was proceeding. The contract entered irito with the Missouri State Highway Commission during the fiscal year 1941 for the reconstruc- tion of 2 miles of United States Highway No. 67, traversing the res- ervoir, was completed during fiscal year 1942. This improvement consisted of realignment of the highway, raising the grade of the highway to a minimum elevation of 395.0 mean sea level, and con- struction of a bridge across the river channel. The total cost of this work to June 30, 1943, was $434,009.70. During the fiscal year 1943 two tracts of land were acquired by direct purchase and 63 tracts were acquired by condemnation. To date the direct purchase program, covering 63 percent of the res- ervoir tracts, has been completed, comprising 416 tracts, 24,666 acres, with a price of $981,314. Declarations of taking have been filed on 8.5 percent of the reservoir tracts, comprising 56 tracts, 4,868 acres, with a price of $370,958. Payments have been made into court as a result of final judgments on 169 tracts, 12,078 acres, with a value of $799,773, comprising 25.6 percent of the reservoir tracts. Major items of hired labor work performed during the fiscal year are as follows: Riprapping outlet channel, 800 cubic yards; placing open rock drains, 350 linear feet; placing guard rails in vicinity of stilling basin, 400 linear feet; and performing other miscellaneous work. The cost of work during the fiscal year amounted to $1,032.85, and the total cost to June 30, 1943, was $3,628,906.99. The Marked Tree siphon, replacing a large culvert supplying water for navigation of the St. Francis River below Marked Tree, Ark., is a unit of the project. The structure, located about 6 miles northwest of Marked Tree, in Poinsett County, Ark., at the foot of the St. Francis Lake (river mile 155), is described in Annual Re- port of Chief of Engineers, 1942, page 1969. Levee construction: The plan provides for relocation and rebuild- ing of levees along both sides of the St. Francis River, the Little River above the Mississippi River backwater area, and some restora- tion work in the Elk chute drainage district of Missouri. No work was performed on levees during the fiscal year 1943. Channel improvements: The plan also included the enlargement of the existing channel and a cut-off of the Tyronza River in Arkansas which was completed during the fiscal year 1940. A total of 2,795,160 cubic yards of earth was moved at a total cost of $293,233.09. For work of snagging on the St. Francis River, see annual river and harbor report, Memphis district. Ditches: The Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941, modi- fied the existing engineering plan for flood control of the St. Francis River so as to permit the substitution for the suspended portions of the original project below Oak Donnick, Ark., of the construction of a ditch in Cross County, Ark., beginning in the vicinity of the outlet end of the existing Oak Donnick to St. Francis Bay floodway and ter- minating in St. Francis Bay about 2 miles north of Riverfront, in- cluding the construction of a highway bridge, State Highway No. 42, made necessary by the ditch construction. Contract for construction of the highway bridge was awarded to the Arkansas State Highway Commission during the fiscal year, although actual construction of the bridge will probably be delayed until after the war, depending on availability of materials. A total of 4,016,213 cubic yards was ex- 558155-44-pt. 1, vol. 2-51 1848 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 cavated in ditch construction at a cost of $343,937.81, and at the end of the fiscal year ditch construction was approximately 52 percent complete. A contract was also awarded for the remainder of the ditch, involving the excavation of approximately 2,350,000 cubic yards of earthwork. During the 12 months ending June 30, 1943, cost amounted to $774,378.58; and total cost to June 30, 1943, amounted to $11,057,601.16.

The act provided that the reservoirs for control of headwater flow of the Yazoo River system may be located by the Chief of Engineers, in his discretion, and that he may, in his discretion, substitute levees, floodways, or auxiliary channels, or any or all of them, for any or all of the seven detention reservoirs recommended in his report of February 12, 1935, for the control of floods of the Yazoo River. Under this act projects ap- proved for construction include Sardis and Arkabutla Reservoirs and channel improvements on portions of Yazoo, Tallahatchie, Little Tallahatchie, and Yalobusha Rivers. Other Items authorized for con- struction are Enid Dam and Reservoir on Yocona River, Grenada Dam and Reservoir on Yalobusha River, and additional channel improve- ments, construction of which has been deferred. The act of August 18, 1941, modified the Yazoo Basin project to include the improvement contemplated in plan C of the report of Mississippi River Commission dated March 7, 1941, including the extension of the levee on the east bank of the Mississippi River generally along the west bank of the Yazoo River to a connection in the vicinity of Yazoo City with the Yazoo River levee, authorized by the existing project for protection against headwater floods of the Yazoo River system, and the adjust- ment in the discretion of the Chief of Engineers of the grades of the MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1849 existing levees in the backwater area on the east bank of Yazoo River below Yazoo City. The following covers information concerning the Yazoo Basin project: Sardis Dam and Reservoir, Miss.: Located on Little Tallahatchie River in Panola County, about 6 miles southeast of Sardis, Miss., the dam, an earth-fill structure with its crest at elevation 312 mean sea level, creates a reservoir with a controlled storage capacity of 1,478,000 acre-feet at spillway crest elevation 282. Construction of the dam was started in 1936 and completed in October 1940. Summary descrip- tion of the improvement is presented in Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers, 1942, pages 1971-1972. The maximum pool stage at- tained during the fiscal year was 256.1 feet on May 4, 1942, the mini- mum was 230.1 on July 25, 1942. To date, June 30, 1943, the filling of flood control pool has not exceeded 27 percent of capacity. During the fiscal year 1943, slopes of the dam were maintained. Slope paving, spoil embankment dressing, and railroad and highway relocations were completed and an office and shop building was con- structed. Mosquito-control operations in the reservoir area were car- ried out. The acquisition of the right-of-way of the construction road to Sardis Dam was 85 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The preparation of contract drawings and specifications for a road- way on top of Sardis Dam was initiated. The entire project for Sardis Dam and Reservoir was 98 percent complete as of June 30, 1943. Arkabutla Dam and Reservoir, Miss.: Located on the Coldwater River in Tate and DeSoto Counties, about 7 miles northeast of Prich- ard, Miss., and 9 miles southwest of Hernando, Miss., the dam, a rolled fill earth dam with its crest at elevation 265 mean sea level, creates a reservoir with a controlled storage capacity of 493,800 acre-feet at spill- way crest elevation 239 feet. Construction of the dam was started in fiscal year 1940 and completed in May 1943, and accepted. The work was inspected and approved as satisfactory by the Board of Consult- ing Engineers. Summary description of the improvement is pre- sented in Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers, 1942, pages 1972- 1973. During the fiscal year 1943, appraisals, abstracts, and options in con- nection with land acquisition were continued, bringing appraisals to 100 percent, abstracts to 95 percent, options to 100 percent, and land acquisitions to 90 percent complete. Clearing and grubbing of the reservoir area under contract was completed with the exception of one item of clearing, which is 6 percent complete. The relocation of the Illinois Central Railroad tracks and the Western Union Telegraph line across the reservoir under construction by the Railroad company was 97 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. An agreement for the relocation of Mississippi United States Highway No. 51 was negotiated with the Mississippi State Highway Commission and bids for this work were opened. Malaria-control ditches in Hickahala Creek bottom were completed. The entire Arkabutla Dam and Reser- voir project was 91 percent complete as of June 30, 1943. The maximum pool stage during the fiscal year 1943 was 220 feet mean sea level on March 17-19, 1943, when the flood-control pool was filled to 16 percent of its total capacity. Minimum pool stage was 193, on various dates in July, August, September, and October 1942. Enid Dam and Reservoir, Miss.: Located on Yocona River, 3 miles 1850 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 north of Enid, Miss., the plan of improvement provides for an earth dam approximately 9,925 feet long with a maximum height above the valley floor of 87 feet, to create a reservoir with a controlled storage capacity of 620,000 acre-feet. Outlet works will be located in the right abutment and an uncontrolled spillway in the right abutment, dis- charging downstream from the outlet tunnel. The reservoir will con- trol 560 square miles, or 80 percent, of the total drainage area of Yocona River. The estimated cost is $8,000,000. The dam site right- of-way was purchased and certificates of title on 60 out of 254 parcels in the reservoir area were obtained.

This institution is the Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Miss. The organization of the experiment station com- prises the Waterways Division, the Hydrodynamics Division, the Em- bankment, Foundation, and Pavement Division, the Engineer Depart- ment Research Centers, and the necessary administrative and service facilities for the conduct of experimental, field exploration, and re- search work. The Waterways Division comprises four experiment sections; the Hydrodynamic Division consists of three experiment sections; and the Embankment, Foundation, and Pavement Division is composed of an Embankment and Foundation Branch and a Flexible Pavement Branch. The Engineer Department Research Centers in- clude a Hydraulics Research Center and a Soil Mechanics Research Center. The experiment station has as its function the experimental investi- gation of all problems in hydraulics, soil mechanics, and related fields which are presented to the station for study. These problems are generally those encountered by the Engineer Department in regulating and improving the rivers and harbors of the country. The primary purpose of all studies is to aid in obtaining the most economical and efficient engineering design for proposed works. Although the experiment station operates under the supervision of the President, Mississippi River Commission, it also conducts, with the prior approval of the Chief of Engineers, studies for other offices of the Engineer Department and for agencies outside the department. The experiment station holds as an unvarying principle the mainte- nance of close contact with the field offices in all experimental work performed for them. This contact is maintained by station personnel visiting the prototype, and by engineers from the field offices visiting the station while studies are in progress. During the past fiscal year the experiment station has conducted the following investigations in the field of hydraulics: One for the Office, Chief of Engineers, 7 for the President, Mississippi River Commission, 2 for district engineers of the Lower Mississippi Valley Division, and 32 for 14 district and division offices outside of this division. The in- vestigation for the Office, Chief of Engineers, was a hydrological re- search project. The investigations for the President, Mississippi River Commission, were related principally to the control of floods and the maintenance of the navigable channel in the lower Mississippi River. Three of these-the model study of flood flow lines for review of levee grades for the Mississippi River project, the model study of flow dis- tribution in the latitude of Old River, and the model study relating to the operation of the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway-were con- cerned with the flood-control program for the lower Mississippi River proper. Another investigation, the model study of Enid Dam, is con- cerned with flood control on a tributary of the Mississippi River. The Mississippi River navigation study, also a flood-control experiment, was inactive during the year. The potamology study relates to sta- bilizing shifting river channels of the Mississippi River type, with par- 1854 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 ticular reference to location of revetments. This research project is conducted under the direction of the President, Mississippi River Commission. The experiment station lake spillway model is being used to determine means of controlling floods within the station grounds. The experiments conducted for the district engineers of the Lower Mississippi Valley Division included: (1) For the New Orleans district, plans for improving navigation conditions at the Head of Passes, and (2) for the Memphis district, tests of a new type of dredge suction head. A summary of these and other hydraulic experimental work is presented in the table at the end of this section. During the fiscal year, the Embankment, Foundation, and Pave- ment Division conducted three investigations for the Chief of Engi- neers, six for the President, Mississippi River Commission, and seven for district engineers of the Lower Mississippi Valley Division. In addition, it performed four investigations for three district offices outside this division. The experiments for the Chief of Engineers included filter tests of Mud Mountain Dam transition zone and core material and two research projects, one for the development of earth pressure cells and the other a study of triaxial compression testing. Investigations for the President, Mississippi River Commission, re- lated principally to seepage under Mississippi River levees and the design and installation of drainage-well systems to prevent dangerous underseepage pressures. Two of the studies related to the geology of the alluvium of the lower Mississippi River Valley. Of the seven studies performed for the districts of the Lower Mississippi Valley Division, six were for the Memphis district. Five of these consisted of the design and installation of drainage-well systems or piezometer systems behind levees, and one was a stability analysis of a new levee. An electric resistivity exploration in connection with the underseepage program was conducted for the Vicksburg district. A summary of these investigations and of the investigations conducted for the other district offices is included in the table at the end of this section. The Hydraulic and Soil Mechanics Research Centers, established by authorization of the Chief of Engineers in 1937 and 1936, respectively, assemble data in their respective fields from domestic and foreign sources for analysis, classification, and dissemination to the Engineer Department at large. The dissemination of information is accom- plished through direct correspondence, and through The Experiment Station Hydraulics Bulletin, The Experiment Station Soil Mechanics Bulletin, the Quarterly Summary of Engineer Department Investiga- tions, and the Waterways Experiment Station News Letter. During the fiscal year 1943, one Soil Mechanics Bulletin-a German-English vocabulary of soils terms-was published. A hydraulics bulletin de- scribing the Mississippi River Flood control model was also published. Four quarterly summaries, reporting active departmental hydraulic and soil mechanics investigations, were issued. The Hydraulics Research Center continued the correlation of spill- way coefficients from model study reports; the correlation of loss co- efficients of outlet works was inactive. The program of prototype confirmation of model studies in cooperation with the divisions and districts of the Department was continued. The fact-finding survey of the Soil Mechanics Research Center was inactive. Recataloging of the library was practically completed; its translating section made 27 translations of engineering articles. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1855 Reports of model studies and other engineering investigations con- ducted at the experiment station are given limited publication in the form of technical memoranda. Copies of each report are furnished to the Chief of Engineers, the division and district engineers con- cerned, and to other interested offices within the Engineer Depart- ment. Copies of many technical memoranda are available on loan from the Engineer Department Research Centers Library. The fol- lowing technical memoranda were issued during the fiscal year 1943: Technical Memorandum No. 190-1, Model Studies of the Spillway and Integral Sluices for the Canton Dam, North Canadian River, Okla.

Gage zero 190.02 M. S. L.; established Apr. 21, 1938, and di continued Aug. 8, 1941, located 500 feet below centerline of dam, During the fiscal year 1943 comparatively high stages occurred on the main river. Excessive rains forced the Missouri, Illinois, Wabash, St. Francis, White, and Arkansas Rivers out of their banks. The Mississippi River exceeded bankfull stage three times during the first 5 months of 1943. At Cairo, Ill., overbank stages prevailed from January 2-15, March 23-April 5, and May 21-June 7, cresting at a 558155-44-pt. 1, vol. 2- 52 1864 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 stage of 53.03 feet on May 30, 1943. In the Memphis district no un- usual situations developed on the Mississippi River because of these high stages which were influenced by the Ohio River and Mississippi River above Cario. All Mississippi River flood-control and naviga- tion works functioned perfectly during the high-water period and no troops were employed on the main-line levees within the district. However, approximately 1,000 engineer troops were engaged in flood fighting to hold road embankments and in evacuation activities in the Booth's Point area along the Obion River. In case of a major flood on the Mississippi River, plans had been formulated to assign troop units initially at seven points within the Memphis engineer district, namely: Cairo, Ill., New Madrid, Mo., Hickman, Ky., Blytheville, Ark., Memphis, Tenn., Helena, Ark., and Clarksdale, Miss. As the high-water situation would develop, engineer units would be moved to critical areas as the occasion would demand. Strength and type of unit would be determined by the nature of each situation. In the Vicksburg district bankfull stage was exceeded at three gage locations-Greenville, Lake Providence, and Vicksburg. Crest stage was 44.2 feet at Arkansas City, 0.2 foot above bankfull stage; 42.4 feet at Greenville (Warfield),3.4 feet above bankfull stage; 40.3 feet at Lake Providence, 3.3 feet above bankfull stage; and 45.8 feet at Vicksburg, 3.8 feet above bankfull stage. During the high water of May and June 1943, water passed through a section of loop levee which had been damaged by caving banks, in the vicinity of Cottonwood bar. About 7,000 acres of low land between the loop levee and the main-line levee were flooded. The water was confined entirely within the main-line levee which was not damaged. Plans had been made contemplating the use of troops in event of a major main river flood. These plans show disposition of troops and cover general features regarding operations and administration. In the New Orleans district the stage exceeded bankfull from Vicksburg to Fort Jackson during June 1943. The Carrollton gage reached a stage of 18.1 on June 12 to 15, making it necessary to per- form emergency high-water protection work on the main-stem levees below the latitude of New Orleans. No crevasses have occurred in the New Orleans district since 1927. No troops were used in the New Orleans district on high-water protection. Had a major flood occurred, it was proposed to use two general service regiments for engineering operations only, these regiments to be mobilized in the Lower Tensas levee district, and as the crest traveled downstream, the troops would be moved downstream as needed. The civilian levee patrol operated a limited nonpay volunteer patrol on the main-stem levees from Morganza to Gretna, La., and from Baton Rouge, La., on the east bank to Harahan, above the city of New Orleans. During the 1943 high water, the main-stem levees of this district were under local control, except the east and west bank levees below New Orleans, where hired labor emergency work was performed. The Bonnet Carre spillway although not operated in 1943 was placed in readiness for immediate operation should the necessity arise. The following tabulation shows the crest stages in 1943 on the principal Mississippi River gages from Cairo, Ill., to Fort Jackson, La., together with highest stages of record prior to 1943 and the 1927, 1929, 1932, 1933, 1935, 1936, 1937, and 1939 crest stages in which years the crest at Cairo, Ill., was above 49 feet.

S. ARMY, 1943 Tributary rivers and outlets below Cairo, Ill.-In the Memphis dis- trict there were no crevasses through levees under Commission juris- diction along tributary rivers during the fiscal year 1943, although previous record high stages were exceeded at some points during the May-June 1943 flood. The Arkansas River at Pine Bluff, Ark., ex- ceeded all high-water records by 0.78 foot and floodwaters of the White River at Georgetown, Ark., came within 0.05 foot of equaling the record high for that station. Approximately 4,500 engineer troops were effectively used for high-water protection during the May-June flood on the White and Arkansas Rivers. These troops, under the supervision of the district engineer as commanding officer, were em- ployed in raising the levees, repairing honeycomb and rain-wash, mat- ting and sacking slides, sacking boils, draining seepage areas, trans- porting material both by land and water, building a sandbag loop around a weak point on the Arkansas River levee, construction and rehabilitation of main and access roads and bridges, and in repairing crevasses in a private levee on White River. Troops were shifted as necessary between the White and Arkansas Rivers to meet critical situations as they arose. The levees were under Government control during the emergency. The St. Francis River, below Wappapello Dam, did not reach bankfull stages in some localities but slightly ex- ceeded them in others. High stages were prevented by impounding a large percentage of the storm run-off in the Wappapello Reservoir. Crest stages in 1943 on the principal gaging stations on the Arkansas, St. Francis, and White Rivers in the Memphis district are tabulated below. In the Vicksburg district on Red River, crest stage in May 1943, at Alexandria, was 26.9 feet, 5.1 feet below bankfull. On Ouachita River the crest at Monroe occurred in April 1943, at 30.4 feet, 9.6 feet below bankfull. On Black River the crest at Jonesville occurred in June 1943 at 46.2 feet, 0.2 foot above bankfull. On the Yazoo River the crests occurred in March and April 1943, as follows: Greenwood, 30 feet, 5 feet below bankfull; Yazoo City, 28.1 feet, 0.9 foot below bank- full. During the flood period on the Arkansas River, a regiment of engineer troops was assigned to this district. Troops were used for sacking boils, draining seepage areas, maintenance of levee roads, re- pairing washes and miscellaneous duties, in connection with the pro- tection of the Arkansas River levees. The performance and knowledge of these troops were invaluable. Two crests occurred at Pine Bluff, Ark., one on May 18, 19, the other on May 28, 29. Crest stages were 32.7 and 33.8 feet, respectively. A new record high was recorded at this point, the previous record stage being 33, which occurred in June 1935. Based on experience during this high water, the use of engineer troops for high-water protection is considered the most effective method of maintenance of levees during floods. In the New Orleans district, on the Atchafalaya River at Simmes- port, La., the highest stage recorded in 1943 was 40.7 feet June 14, 15, 16, 17, 1943, which was 5.6 feet below the highest reading on record (53.4 feet on May 16, 1927), and the lowest stage recorded for the fiscal year was 5.5 feet on October 26, 1942, which was 9 feet higher than the lowest reading on record (-3.5 feet on November 9, 1891); on the Atchafalaya River at Atchafalaya, La., the highest stage re- corded in 1943 was 25.5 feet, June 10-19, 1943, which was 0.4 foot below MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1869 the highest reading on record (25.9 feet on March 7-9, 1937 1), and the lowest stage recorded for the fiscal year was 8.4 feet on October 25-26, 1942, which was 5.8 feet higher than the lowest reading on record (2.6 feet on November 4-6, 1939).

Mississippi River and tributaries above Cairo, Ill.-No exceptional high-water stages occurred within the flood-control limits of the Rock Island district. In the St. Louis district during the fiscal year, rivers within its jurisdiction were in flood, for the main part, at two sepa- rate periods. High water was experienced along the Mississippi River as the fiscal year began, and in May 1943, extremely high stages pre- vailed not only on the Mississippi, but also on the Illinois, the Mis- souri, and the Kaskaskia Rivers. A comparison of stages attained during the above-mentioned periods at several Mississippi River points with crest stages of past floods is given in the following table: 15Shown in error as May 7-9, 1937, in 1942 report. 1870 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Relief measures were effected by the Engineer Department, as well as by other agencies. It is estimated that damage to levees amounted to $8,000; that emergency work in levee districts cost $12,- 700; that funds expended for evacuation were $34,700; and that the total expense plus damages due to the flood was about $3,400,000. Damage to levees resulted in the Grand Tower drainage and levee district, where a 50-foot break occurred after the levee had become softened; and in Ste. Genevieve levee district No. 1, Missouri, where the levee was crevassed in several places after being overtopped. The May 1943 flood, which was the greatest since 1844 at many points in this vicinity, caused damage in the St. Louis engineer district which was much more extensive than that given in the paragraph above because a number of levee districts were flooded, particularly along the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers and to a lesser degree along the Kaskaskia River. The value of the damages in this engineer district has been estimated at $25,000,000 but a detailed field investiga- tion which will permit of a more accurate estimate of damages has not as yet been completed. Relief activities were again conducted by the Engineer Department and by other agencies. Patrolling and the emergency repair of levees was prosecuted by the Department with the aid of local residents and troops. Evacuation of inhabitants and livestock was effected by the Department, the Coast Guard, troops, and others. The following tabulation of levee districts which were flooded gives the acreage in each district, and shows the number of crevasses in the levees of the several districts. In addition to the inundated areas shown in the table, it is probable that more than 260,000 acres of unprotected land were under water at peak May stages in this district on the Mississippi River and its tributaries.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1873 Floods.--In May 1943 heavy rains over the Arkansas, White, Missouri, and upper Mississippi River basins caused major floods in those tributaries and the Mississippi above Cairo. Stages reached on the upper Mississippi at St. Louis, Chester and Cape Girardeau were exceeded only by those of 1844. The flood was carried through the Memphis district without any crevasses in Government levee systems on either the main stem or tributaries. Army engineer troops were used for the first time to combat the threat to the levee systems and fit into the high-water organization very satisfactorily. Wappapello Reservoir on St. Francis River reached a record crest of 382.37 feet M. G. L. Floods occurred in the Yazoo River headwater area in March and June 1943, and Red-Ouachita River backwater area in June 1943. Dischargedata, Mississippi River.-As shown under surveys, gages, and observations, the Mississippi River Commission district engineers take discharge observations at various stations each year and the Com- mission publishes results thereof.

ARMY, 1943 Condition at end of flscal year.-The general survey of the Missis- sippi River from Head of Passes, La.,, to its headwaters at Lake Itasca, Minn., a distance by river of 2,35017 miles was completed in 1904 and maps of the river published. Resurveys of the Mississippi River from Cairo, Ill., to the Head of Passes, La., have been made, the latest resurvey of the entire reach was made in 1938, and maps published. The latest 1942 scaled distance Head of Passes to Cairo, utilizing all recent channel improvements, is 966 miles. Based on the 1911-25 resurvey this distance was 1,070 miles. Surveys to secure topographic data for quadrangle maps, scale 1: 62,500, of al- luvial valley lower Mississippi River, from Cape Giradeau, Mo., at head of St. Francis Basin to the Gulf of Mexico, have been completed and the major portion of the map has been published. Wall maps, alluvial valley, lower Mississippi River, have been published, scales 1:250,000 and 1: 500,000. Special surveys, including surveys of the Atchafalaya River and Basin and portions of the Red and Black Rivers, have been made; in addition, special surveys have been made over all areas concerned in the flood-control project within the alluvial valley of the lower Mississippi River. Various discharge, gage, sedi- ment, and other observations have been made on the Mississippi River and tributaries and the Gulf of Mexico and the results published. Works for the improvement of the channel have been executed at various places below Cairo and levees built for flood control from Rock Island, Ill., to near Head of Passes, La., 484 miles above to 966 miles below Cairo, based on the 1942 distance for lower Missis- sippi River. Effective revetment along the Mississippi River below Cairo is now in place and in good condition on about 120 miles of river bank, including 4.6 miles on Ohio and Arkansas Rivers; about one-half mile of pile and rock groins for bank protection and about 31 miles of permeable dikes for channel regulation are also in place. There are 3,466 miles of controlling levee (2,490 miles, sec. 1, main river, and 976.2 miles, sec. 6, upper river and tributaries), with earth- work aggregating 1,191,093,00019 cubic yards (1,078,234,000 cubic yards, sec. 1, and 112,859,000 cubic yards, sec. 6). Sections refer to Flood Control Act May 15, 1928. The existing levee system protects a total of about 29,250 square miles (27,627 square miles, sec. 1, and 1,623 square miles under sec. 6 of act approved May 15, 1928, and amendments and modifications thereto) of land against ordinary floods; about 80.2 percent of the total yardage required to complete the levees under section 1 to adopted grade and section is now in place. Surveys and studies are under way in connection with the enlargement of the main river levees to the revised grades and sections as provided by the act of August 18, 1941, and 1941 approvals by the Department. The percent of the total yardage required to complete the levees under section 6 of the May 15, 1928 act to the approved gfade and section has previously been reported up to 1938 as one figure covering work in all districts concerned. Due to work now under way and proposed in the Rock Island and St. Louis districts under the flood- 7 Revised using latest 1942 distances. 18Omitted. 1~ Includes 38,077,000 cubic yards to be abandoned in course of construction, 33,101,000 cubic yards under sec. 1 and 4,976,000 cubic yards under sec. 6. The amount to be aban- doned includes yardage in connection with work under flood conrtrol, general, in St. Louis district. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1883 control general acts of June 22, 1936, and June 28, 1938, respectively, and later similar acts, in reaches where levee work has been previously done under section 6 of the May 15, 1928, act, separate figures as to percentage completed are considered necessary to present the situa- tion as it exists; therefore the percent of completion is given sepa- rately for Rock Island district, St. Louis district, and a combination of the Memphis, Vicksburg, and New Orleans districts. In this connection the percentage of completion of work in the Rock Island and St. Louis districts involves not only section 6 work but also work already accomplished or required under the flood-control general acts. The mileages and yardages together with the figures indicating areas protected include the work in the Rock Island and St. Louis districts, not only under section 6 but also under flood- control general acts as noted above. Percentages of completion are as follows: Rock Island district, 99.0; St. Louis district, 71.4; Mem- phis, Vicksburg, and New Orleans districts (combined), 75.0. Further details as to flood-control general work in the Rock Island and St. Louis districts are reported in annual reports of those districts (river and harbor work). A total of 11,777,000 cubic yards has been placed in connection with repair, etc., of levees under sections 6 and 7 of May 15, 1928, Flood Control Act and section 9 of the June 15, 1936 act. An estimate of the yardage remaining to be placed under these sections is not practicable. The construction of roads on levees was initiated in the Vicksburg district during the fiscal year 1936. In 1938 this construction was commenced in the Memphis and New Orleans districts. A total of 194 miles of roads on levees have been constructed to date as follows: Memphis district, 105 miles; Vicksburg district, 62 miles; and New Orleans district, 27 miles. There are 52.1 miles (12.8 miles on east bank and 39.3 miles on west bank) of wooden revetment along the Mississippi River levees below New Orleans for protection against tide and wave action. There is now, with rare exceptions, a good navigable channel at all stages, with a depth of 9 feet or more over a width of at least 300 feet for a distance of 737 20 miles from Cairo, Ill., to Baton Rouge, La., and a depth of not less than 35 feet over a width of several hundred feet for the remaining 250 miles to the Gulf of Mexico, via Southwest Pass. The necessary plant required for surveys, dredging, and bank protection and contraction work has been constructed and maintained. A total of over 358,751,000 cubic yards has been dredged in channel maintenance on the Mississippi River during the past 15 years in the Memphis, Vicksburg, and New Orleans districts. In addition, pre- maintenance dredging is carried on in the three districts with satis- factory results; 21,308,000 cubic yards of material has been moved on premaintenance dredging from 1940 to 1943; this type of dredging, which is now generally employed in the most troublesome reaches, is probably responsible in a large measure for reduction in navigation trouble. Improvement dredging is also carried on under the project for increasing the flood-carrying capacity of the Mississippi River; 20 This mileage is based on 1942 navigation channel and on navigation of cut-offs at Hardin, Jackson, Sunflower, Caulk, Ashbrook, Tarpley, Leland, Worthington, Sarah, Willow, Marshall, Diamond, Yucatan, Rodney, Giles, and Glasscock (June 1942). The navigation distance before the cut-offs were completed was 840 miles, based on the 1911-25 surveys. 1884 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 the channel improvement works already accomplished under the project are now a part of the main river channel, including the Hardin and Sunflower cut-offs opened in the spring of 1942. The St. Francis Basin project covering the Wappapello Dam and Reservoir was started August 31, 1938, and all work under contract on the dam was completed June 23, 1941; clearing of the reservoir area is complete; totals to date on options for land acquisition in the reser- voir area are as follows: Optioned, 74.8 percent; purchased, 61.8 per- cent; and acquired by condemnation, 20.4 percent; other major items for hired labor work were performed during the fiscal year; levee construction under this project is 46.8 percent complete; the relocation of United States Highway No. 67 and rebuilding of highway bridge across Wappapello Reservoir have been completed; adjustment of power lines across the reservoir is about 50 percent complete; the Cross County drainage ditch is approximately 52 percent complete; the Marked Tree siphon was completed during the fiscal year 1939; the Tyronza River channel improvement and cut-off was completed during the fiscal year 1940. The White River backwater levee is 61 percent complete; the first lift construction is complete and construc- tion to final grade is in progress. Under the Yazoo Basin project the Sardis Dam and Reservoir were completed in October 1940, together with the railroad and highway relocation over the reservoir. The Arkabutla Dam construction of which was started in 1940 was completed in fiscal year 1943. Relo- cation of the railroad and telegraph line was 97 percent complete and, bids were opened for Highway No. 51 relocation. The entire Arka- butla Dam and Reservoir is about 91 percent complete. Surveys, map- ping, studies, and design were in progress for the Enid and Grenada Dams and Reservoirs; work on channel improvements and cut-offs in the Yazoo Basin is in progress; excavation of the cut-offs was initi- ated in June 1941; construction work on the levee portion of the Yazoo Basin headwater project was initiated in May 1943 and surveys, mapping, and studies in connection with that section of the project are in progress. The Red River backwater levee (construction) project (Tensas- Cocodrie area) as authorized by the August 18, 1941, act has been de- ferred; however, plans and studies for this project and the deferred channel improvement project of Bayous Rapides, Boeuf, and Cocodrie are under way. The Atchafalaya Basin levee construction is in progress; the East and West Atchafalaya River levees are 100 percent complete; the East Atchafalaya Basin protection levee is 89.2 percent complete; the West Atchafalaya Basin protection levee is 96.2 percent complete; the al- teration of bridge at Simmesport, La., has been completed. The Mor- ganza floodway levees are 97.4 percent complete; Pointe Coupee drainage structure through the upper guide levee of the Morganza floodway is complete; Bayou Latenache drainage canal is complete. A drainage structure through the West Atchafalaya Basin protection levee at Bayou Darbonne is complete. Control structures in Bayou Courtableau diversion canals are complete.

Excavation of Berwick drainage canal, Charenton-Intracoastal Canal levee, Berwick, La., has been completed. Construction of a concrete culvert under the road to Charenton Beach, La., West Atcha- -falaya Basin protection levee, is in progress. Construction of a timber fender system for the bridge carrying State Highway No. 129 across Charenton Drainage and Navigation Canal, near Charenton, La., is practically complete. The alteration of bridge at Krotz Springs, La., has been completed. A floodgate through the West Atchafalaya Basin protection levee at Charenton, La., is complete, except channel excava- tion and the steel sector gates; two highway bridges and one railroad bridge over Charenton Canal are complete; the Charenton Canal is complete. The Wax Lake Outlet levees are about 94.8 percent com- plete. Excavation of the Wax Lake Outlet channel and the naviga- tion cross-over for the Louisiana-Texas Intracoastal Waterway is com- plete. The excavation of that portion of the outlet from Wax Lake to Atchafalaya Bay was completed during fiscal year 1942; the high- way and railroad bridges over Wax Lake Outlet are complete. A floodgate through the West Atchafalaya Basin protection levee above Berwick, La., is 47 percent complete, with completion deferred because of the War; raising of the bridge at Berwick, La., is complete. Dredg- ing is also carried on in the Atchafalaya Basin for the purpose of de- veloping a continuous channel from the Atchafalaya River (at Ala- bama Bayou) to Grand Lake, and then through Six Mile Lake and Wax Lake Outlet into Wax Lake and the Gulf of Mexico. Barbin Landing Cut-off, through a neck on north bank of Red River from mile 69.6 to mile 71.8 above the mouth of Old River, constructed to pre- vent excessive bank caving in the bend necessitating frequent setting back of the levee, has been completed. Work on certain portions of the existing project, Mississippi River and tributaries, was suspended during the fiscal year 1943 by authority of the War Production Board in connection with conservation of manpower and materials; a list of items deferred is appended to the report. The Bird's Point-New Madrid floodway and Bonnet Carre spillway and floodway are completed and were successfully used during the 1937 flood. The Waterways Experiment Station is operating in connection with construction of models, compilation of data, and preparation and submission of reports dealing with flood control, navigation, and related subjects. Surveys and reports required under sections 3, 6, and 7 of the May 15, 1928, act are made as required. Surveys required under section 11 of the same act were completed in 1931 and reports submitted. Surveys, studies, and reports are made as called for by congressional and departmental action. In connection with section 10 of the May 15, 1928, act, the reports covering surveys authorized pursuant to the act of January 21, 1927, and House Document No. 308, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session, were presented to the Mississippi River Com- mission and its conclusions and recommendations thereon have been submitted to the Department. PROPOSED OPERATIONS Surveys, observations, studies, and maintenance of records will be continued together with the operation of the Waterways Experiment 1886 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Station and the publication of such data pertinent to the flood-control and navigation project, Mississippi River and tributaries, covered in act May 15, 1928, and amendments and modifications thereto. Con- struction of new works and maintenance of existing works under the existing project will be continued. See also page 1784, this report. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1944, in the Memphis district, it is proposed to construct approximately 4 miles of maintenance revetment and to carry on general repairs over other effective revet- ments. No new revetments have been planned. General channel maintenance and patrolling will be continued with Government-owned plant. Levee construction under the new work program will be con- tinued under contracts in force at the beginning of the fiscal year, and maintenance work initiated at Walnut Bend, Modoc, and Slough Landing. General rain and wave-wash repairs to levees will be made in the White River backwater. Advance levee planning will be ac- complished for work to be undertaken at a later date. In the Vicks- burg district proposed operations include continuation of levee en- largement program as authorized by flood control act approved August 18, 1941, as new work; maintenance work made necessary by caving banks and developments during recent high water; new work consisting of levee and drainage structures, construction and channel improvement work in Yazoo Basin backwater and headwater areas; maintenance dredging and bank protection work in Mississippi River; maintenance of completed flood-control works in Yazoo Basin. Op- erations during fiscal year 1944 in the New Orleans district will con- sist of maintenance of existing flood-control works in the district including Mississippi and Atchafalaya River and Basin levees, south bank Red River levees, and dredging and revetment work as required to maintain an efficient channel for flood control and navigation. Existing flood-control structures will be maintained. Construction of the high-level crossing for Highway 190 over Morganza floodway will be completed during the fiscal year. In the Rock Island district during the fiscal year 1944, it is expected that only emergency levee repair work will be performed as the necessity therefor arises.

BEACH EROSION AND SHORE PROTECTION BOARDS Beach Erosion Board.-Section 2 of the River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930 (Public, No. 520, 71st Cong.), authorized and directed the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, under the direc- tion of the Secretary of War, to cause investigations and studies to be made in cooperation with the appropriate agencies of various States on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts, and on the Great Lakes and the Territories, with a view to devising effective means of preventing erosion of the shores of coastal and lake waters by waves and currents. The act provided for the organization of a board of seven members, of whom four are officers of the Corps of Engineers and three are se- lected with regard to their special fitness from among the State agen- cies cooperating with the War Department. The Board has been des- ignated the Beach Erosion Board. An act approved June 26, 1936 (Public No. 834, 74th Cong.) in- creased the scope of the Board's activities, by providing that it shall be the duty of the Secretary of War, through the Beach Erosion Board- to make investigations with a view to determining the most suitable methods of beach protection and restoration of beaches in different localities; to advise the 1888 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 States, counties, municipalities, or individuals of appropriate locations for recrea- tional facilities; and to publish from time to time such useful data and informa- tion concerning the protection of beaches as the Board may deem to be of value to the people of the United States. The law further provides that the Board, in making its report on any work or project relating to shore protection, shall- state its opinion as to (a) the advisability of adopting the project, (b) what Federal interest, if any, is involved in the proposed improvement, and (c) what share of the expense, if any, should be borne by the United States. The members of the Beach Erosion Board for the fiscal year 1943 were Brig. Gen. John J. Kingman, United States Army, senior mem- ber; Col. Roger G. Powell, United States Army; Col. H. B. Vaughan, Jr., United States Army, until June 14, 1943, succeeded by Col. Albert H. Burton, United States Army; and Col. John W. Stewart, United States Army. Thorndike Saville, dean of the college of engineering, New York University, New York, N. Y.; Richard K. Hale, director, division of waterways, department of public works, Boston, Mass.; and Morrough P. O'Brien, chairman, department of mechanical engi- neering, University of California, Berkeley, Calif., remain unchanged as the civilian members of the Board. During the fiscal year 1943, the Board completed cooperative studies at Niagara County, N. Y., and Mission Beach, Calif. At the end of the fiscal year cooperative investigations and studies were pending at the following locations: Ohio shores of Lake Erie; Dade County, Fla.; Harrison County, Miss.; Hampton Beach, N. H.; Long Island State Parks, N. Y.; North Carolina coast; Palm Beach, Fla.; Suffolk County, N. Y.; Metropolitan District Beaches, Boston, Mass.; and Presque Isle, Pa. Cooperative beach erosion studies, other than those necessary for the proper integration of plans for an area, were suspended after August 1, 1942, pursuant to instructions received from higher authority. Three studies, namely, Ohio shores of Lake Erie; Dade County, Fla., and Harrison County, Miss., were continued. In addition to the cooperative studies prosecuted during the year, the Beach Erosion Board has prepared studies and reports of a special nature for the Army and Navy. Shore ProtectionBoard.-By authority of the Secretary of War,.a board of officers, designated the Shore Protection Board, was created by Special Orders No. 72, paragraph 2, Office of the Chief of Engi- neers, September 18, 1930, to consider beach erosion and shore protec- tion problems relating to Federal projects. The four officers of the Corps of Engineers, serving as members of the Beach Erosion Board, constitute the Shore Protection Board. The same office personnel serves both boards. Section 5 of the River and Harbor Act, approved August 30, 1935, requires that every report submitted to Congress, looking to the im- provement of the entrance at the mouth of any river or at any inlet shall contain information concerning the configuration of the shore- line and the probable effect thereon that may be expected to result from the improvement, having particular reference to erosion and/or accretion for a distance of not less than 10 miles on either side. By direction of the Chief of Engineers, all such investigations are now referred by division engineers directly to the Shore Protection Board for report. CONGRESSES OF NAVIGATION 1889 Studies were completed by the Board during the fiscal year 1943 at Leland Harbor, Mich. Informal reports at the following localities were prepared: Fort Miles, Cape Henlopen, Del.; Barnegat City, N. J.; Fort Tilden, N. Y.; and Camp Perry, Ohio. Studies pending at the end of the fiscal year are as follows: Absecon Inlet, N. J.; Savannah Harbor, Ga.; Choctawhatchee-Pensacola Bays, Fla.; and St. Augustine, Fla. Cost and financial summary.-Expenses incident to the operations of the Boards are paid from funds appropriated for "Examinations, surveys, and contingencies for rivers and harbors." Total amount allotted to the Boards since organization------------ $505,078. 17 Net expenses since organization, as of June 30, 1943-------------- 425. 378. 56 Balance unexpended as of June 30, 1943------------_ 79, 699. 61 Expenses of Boards for fiscal year 1943----- _____-- 27, 715. 52 PERMANENT INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THE CONGRESSES OF NAVIGATION 1. By an act approved June 28, 1902, Congress appropriated the sum of $3,000 per year for the support and maintenance of the Perma- nent International Commission of the Congresses of Navigation and for the payment of the actual expenses of the properly accredited national delegates of the United States to the meetings of the con- gresses and of the Commission. Beginning with the fiscal year 1936, such expenses were paid by allotment from the general appropriation for the improvement and maintenance of river and harbor works. In 1942 and 1943 only the amount required for payment of the annual membership fee ($1,000) was included in the War Department Civil Appropriation Acts as European conditions precluded a meeting of the Commission and no other obligations were anticipated. The ob- ject of the association is the promotion of inland and maritime navi- gation by means of organized congresses, and the publication of per- tinent information. Its headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium, but the congresses are held in various countries upon invitation. 2. The association is supported principally by member nations, but the privileges of membership are also extended to corporations, li- braries, and individuals. Governments are represented by delegates, the number of delegates being based on the amounts received annually from such governments and their nationals for the expenses of the Commission. Corporate membership may or may not include the privilege of representation by delegate. Two classes of corporate membership are available. The class paying the higher annual sub- scription has the privilege of representation by delegate. Life indi- vidual membership may be secured upon the payment of a single fee, or ordinary individual membership upon the payment annually of a fixed fee. 3. The general affairs of the association are managed by a perma- nent Commission with the assistance of a permanent council. The Commission is composed of delegates from the supporting govern- ments, and the council is chosen from the members of the permanent Commission, the representation in each case being according to the amount of the annual contribution. 1890 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 4. During the fiscal year 1943 the United States was represented as follows: On the American section of the permanent Commission: By Col. Spencer Cosby, United States Army, retired, chairman; Col. Gordon R. Young, Corps of Engineers, United States Army; Brig. Gen. Charles Keller, United States Army, retired; Mr. J. Spencer Smith of the State of New Jersey; Mr. Roy Miller, of the State of Texas; Brig. Gen. Herbert Deakyne, United States Army, retired; Brig. Gen. Glen E. Edgerton, Corps of Engineers, United States Army, (Governor, Panama Canal); Commander W. H. Smith, Civil Engineer Corps, United States Navy; and Col. Roger G. Powell, Corps of Engineers, United States Army. Colonel Powell served as secre- tary of the American section; and On the American section of the permanent council: By Colonel Cosby and General Keller. 5. Because of the conditions existing in Europe during the fiscal year no meeting of the Commission was held. 6. No expenditures were made from the allotment for the fiscal year 1943. The outstanding obligation of $4,000 at the close of the year represents the amount of the regular contributions of the United States for the years 1940, 1941, 1942, and 1943, for the support and maintenance of the association. INTEROCEANIC CANAL SURVEYS The proposed canal route across Nicaragua extends from Brito on the Pacific via the Rio Grande, Lake Nicaragua, the Rio San Juan, and the Rio Deseado to Greytown on the Atlantic, and is 173 miles long. A survey of the Nicaragua route was made in 1901, and Public Resolution No. 99, Seventieth Congress, approved March 2, 1929, au- thorized a further survey to bring the data up to date, as well as an investigation of additional facilities needed at the Panama Canal, to be made under the direction of the Secretary of War and super- vision of the Chief of Engineers, with the aid of such civilian engi- neers as the President deemed advisable. The President appointed the Interoceanic Canal Board to assist the Chief of Engineers. The Governor of the Panama Canal made the investigation at Panama, and a provisional battalion of United States engineer troops made the survey in Nicaragua. The report of the Chief of Engineers, together with the reports of the Interoceanic Canal Board, of the Governor of the Panama Canal, and of the officer in charge of the survey, was submitted on December 5, 1931, and published in House Document No. 139, Seventy-second Congress, first session. An officer and one noncommissioned officer are stationed in Nica- ragua to continue the collection and compilation of hydrological and meteorological data pertaining to the proposed canal. During the past fiscal year the collection of these data has involved the operation within the watershed of Lake Nicaragua of a number of rainfall stations, also stations for making fog observations, collec- tion of evaporation data, recording lake levels and river stages, record- ing barometric pressure and humidity, and for gaging wind velocity and temperature. FEDERAL WATER POWER ACT 1891 The appropriation for the investigation and survey was $150,000, all of which had been expended by the end of the fiscal year 1943. The River and Harbor Act approved June 20, 1938, authorized the Secretary of War to continue the gathering of hydrological data in Nicaragua under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers as recom- mended in House Document No. 139, Seventy-second Congress, first session, and such incidental expenses as may be necessary in connec- tion therewith, are to be paid from appropriations hereafter made for examinations, surveys, and contingencies of rivers and harbors. The total expenditure for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943, was $3,686, from appropriations made for examinations, surveys, and contin- gencies of rivers and harbors. It is estimated that $5,000 will be expended in continuing the operations during the fiscal year ending Juhe 30, 1944. INVESTIGATIONS AND SUPERVISION OF PROJECTS UNDER THE FEDERAL WATER POWER ACT The Federal Water Power Act of June 10, 1920, created the Federal Power Commission, composed of the Secretary of War, Secretary of the Interior, and Secretary of Agriculture, with authority to grant permits and licenses for hydroelectric developments in all waters over which Congress has jurisdiction. The act further required that the work of the Commission be performed by and through the Depart- ments of War, Interior, and Agriculture, and their engineering, tech- nical, and other personnel, except as may be otherwise provided by law. By the act of June 23, 1930, entitled "An act to reorganize the Fed- eral Power Commission," sections 1 and 2 of the Federal Water Power Act of June 10, 1920, were amended. A commission was provided for to be composed of five commissioners to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The necessity of performing the work through the Departments of War, Interior, and Agriculture was also removed and the Commission authorized to appoint such officers and employees as are necessary in the execution of its functionsi By title II of the Public Utility Act of 1935, approved August 26, 1935, the original Federal Water Power Act was made part I of the Federal Power Act, and parts II and III added to that act. The law also provides that no water-power license affecting the navigable capacity of any navigable waters of the United States shall be issued until the plans of the dam or other structures affecting navigation have been approved by the Chief of Engineers and the Secretary of War. There is further provision whereby any person or corporation intending to construct project, works in any stream over which Congress has jurisdiction, other than navigable waters, shall file a declaration of intention for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the jurisdiction of the Federal Power CommissTon will attach. To July 1, 1929, only work of an engineering nature had been referred to the War Department by the Commission. 1892 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Since that date, in addition to the duties noted below, certain work pertaining to accounting and related matters has been assigned to the War Department, as indicated in the following table: Number of projects on which supervision of all accounting work, including the supervision of preparation and the verification and certification to the Commission of statements of cost of original projects and of all additions thereto and betterment thereof and of all annual operating and financial reports requested by the Commission has been assigned and completed------- --------------------------------------- 3 Number of projects on which supervision of certain accounting and re- lated work during the construction period only has been assigned and completed ----- ------------------------------------------- 17 Special reports relating to accounting work requested and completed------ 5 To July 1, 1941, the following work of an engineering nature had been referred to the War Department by the Commission: Engineering reports submitted----- ------------------------------ 314 Reports submitted on declaration of intention 1--------------------- Public hearings held------------ ------------------------------- 74 Licenses and permits referred for field supervision 144 .--------------------- Licenses and permits referred for supervision of stream gaging----------- 2 During the past fiscal year work of an engineering nature has been assigned and accomplished, as follows: Plans approved by Chief of Engineers and Secretary of War in accordance with sec. 4 (e) of Federal Water Power Act__----------------------- 11 Licenses and permits under supervision___ ------------------------------ 26 The necessary expenses of transportation and subsistence of per- sonnel engaged in investigations and the cost of supervision under the provisions of the Federal Power Act are paid from appropria- tions made for the Federal Power Commission.

W. Bunkley, United States Navy (retired). The laws enacted for the preservation of the tidal waters of New York Harbor, its adjacent or tributary waters, and the waters of Long Island Sound are administered by the supervisor of New York Har- bor, a line officer of the Navy, under the direction of the Secretary of War. The supervisor is charged under the laws with the duties of preventing any obstructive or injurious deposits in the waters under his jurisdiction and the prevention of any interference with safe nav- igation of the channels of the harbor by deep-draft vessels. The laws relating to the supervision of New York Harbor are acts of Congress of June 29, 1888 (25 Stat. 209), amended by section 8 of act of May 28, 1908 (35 Stat. 424-426); act of Congress of August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. 360) ; act of Congress of May 28, 1908 (35 Stat. 426) ; act of Congress of February 16, 1909 (35 Stat. 623); and act of Con- gress of June 7, 1924 (Oil Pollution Act, 1924, 43 Stat. 604). Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Notices to acquaint navi- gation interests with the laws and regulations relating to the harbor were issued with a view to obtaining cooperation in their administra- tion; dumping grounds for stone, ashes, mud, cellar dirt, sewerage sludge, and other refuse were designated; and 3,558 permits were issued for the removal of approximately 25,207,862 cubic yards of material. Soundings were taken at frequent intervals over the designated dumping areas to insure that sufficient depth of waters was maintained. Supervision was exercised by means of inspectors and patrols. Pa- trols were maintained to insure that no material was deposited at places other than the designated dumping grounds and to keep the main channels free of any interference to the safe navigation of these channels by deep-draft vessels; to prevent the discharge into navi- gable waters of waste oil and sludge, rubbish, and waste resulting from loading operations. The amounts of material reported to have been removed were con- stantly checked by the patrols. 558155-44-pt. 1, vol. 2- 54 1896 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

S. ARMY, 1943 ANACOSTIA PARK AND THE RECLAMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ANACOSTIA RIVER AND FLATS FROM THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER TO THE DISTRICT LINE, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA District engineer: Lt. Col. D. A. Phelan, Corps of Engineers, to November 25, 1942; Col. Clarence Renshaw, Corps of Engineers, since that date. Location.-The Anacostia River enters the Potomac River at Wash. ington, D..C. Previous projects.-Forthe part of the project below the Anacostia Bridge, which is also a river and harbor improvement, see Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers for 1919, page 553, under heading "Existing project." For a description of the previous projects for the improvement extending upstream from the Anacostia Bridge see An. nual Report of the Chief of Engineers for 1923, page 1990 under heading "Existing project." Existing project.-This provides for the improvement of the river and for the reclamation and development of the adjacent flats from the mouth of the river upstream to the District of Columbia boundary line, a distance of about 6/3 miles, to afford a river channel 15 feet deep in the section between the foot of Fifteenth Street SE., and Massachu- setts Avenue, 9 feet deep thence to Benning Road. The section from the mouth upstream to the foot of Fifteenth Street SE., was dredged to a depth of 24 feet under a river and harbor project. The dredged material is to be used for fills. The project includes a constant-level lake or lateral basin on the west side of the river, to be known as Lake Kingman, and a smaller lake on the east side of the stream. The normal surface elevation of the lakes is to be 2 feet above mean low tide, and they are to be dredged to a depth of 6 feet. A culvert or small bridge is to be constructed over Lake Kingman on the line of Benning Road, and a lock and bridge is to be built at the lower end of Lake Kingman. Influent and effluent gate-control works are to be provided to maintain a constant level in both lakes. Masonry sea walls on a riprap substructure are to be constructed along the tidal channel of the river to extend 6 feet above mean low water; the walls of the lakes are to extend 3 feet above mean low water or I foot above the level of the lake. A portion of the reclaimed tract is to be set aside for development by the Agriculture Department for a national arboretum and botani- cal garden. A strip of water-front land on the right bank of the river between the Anacostia Bridge and the Pennsylvania Railroad freight bridge is to be set aside for commercial purposes. The bridges at Benning Road over the main channel are not to be altered. The esti- mated cost of the project is $4,125,000 (October 1923). To this must be added $150,000 appropriated by act approved July 3, 1930, and $15,000 appropriated by act approved April 4, 1938, for cost of land not covered in estimated cost of project because of increased commer- cial valuation and subsequent adverse court decision as to United States ownership.

Local cooperation.-The funds for this project have been appropri- ated by the District of Columbia appropriation bills, which, through the fiscal year ended June 30, 1920, provided for half of the expense to be borne by the District of Columbia. From that date to June 30, 1924, the expense was borne 60 percent by the District of Columbia and 40 percent by the United States. Beginning July 1, 1924, the District of Columbia paid all required above the lump sum appropri- ated from United States revenues. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Construction work on the project has been deferred for the duration of the war. Super- vision of the placing of 48,498 cubic yards of select material in dump fills was in progress throughout the year at a cost of $4,239.11. Re- moval of a wrecked concrete bridge to correct flooding conditions in Watts Branch was initiated with hired labor at a cost of $144.94. Total costs for the year were $4,384.05, and total expenditures were $3,528.82, all applied to new work. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 90 percent complete.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF THE WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT District engineer: Lt. Col. D. A. Phelan, Corps of Engineers, to November 25, 1942; Col. Clarence Renshaw, Corps of Engineers, since that date. Location.-The intake for the water supply is on the Potomac River at Great Falls, Md., 9 miles west of Washington, D. C. The two fil- tration plants, all storage reservoirs, and other features are located in the District of Columbia. (See U. S. geological quadrangle, Wash- ington and vicinity.) The control of the system was vested in the Chief of Engineers by the act of March 2, 1867, and section 1800, Revised Statutes. Existing project.-The existing project provides for the construc- tion of various items of the system as authorized from time to time, and the care, protection, maintenance, and operation of the system up to the point where the purified water is delivered to the District of Columbia distributing system and also for the, care and maintenance of MacArthur Boulevard, McMillan Park, and the meters on the vari- ous Government services. A description of the system and of previous projects for construc- tion and maintenance is printed at pages 2206-2208 and 2218-2220, Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers for 1930. Local cooperation.--Up to the end of June 30, 1916, the expenses of the Washington Aqueduct were paid one-half by the District of Columbia and one-half by the United States, since which time they have been paid wholly out of the revenues of the Water Department of the District of Columbia. For the construction item "Increasing water supply, District of Columbia," beginning with June 10, 1920, $25,000 was appropriated, wholly out of the revenues of the United States, $3,200,000 out of revenues payable, 60 percent by the District of Columbia, and 40 per- cent by the United States, and of the balance after June 30, 1924, the District of Columbia paid all required above lump sum appropriated from United States revenues. 1902 REPORT OF CHIEF OF F.NGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Operations and results during fiscal year.-An uninterrupted and adequate supply of purified water was furnished to the District of Columbia and to Arlington County, Va., and to Federal establish- ments in Arlington County. The maximum daily consumption was 181,610,000 gallons and average daily consumption was 129,640,000 gallons, which, based on the estimated population of 837,500 in the District of Columbia and 94,000 in Arlington County, makes the average per capita daily consumption for both the District of Columbia and Arlington County 139.17 gallons per day. The average daily con- sumption in the District of Columbia alone was 124,140,000 gallons or an average per capita, consumption of 148.23 gallons per day. The average daily amount of water furnished to the municipality of Ar- lington County, Va., was 5,500,000 gallons, the full cost of which was reimbursed to the United States. The average daily consumption of water in all Government buildings was 19,641,356 gallons or 15.15 per- cent of the total. The average turbidity of the raw water from the Potomac River was reduced from 108 to 0.18 and the bacterial con- tent from 2,075 to 2.40 per milliliter. Approximately 95,000 tubes of water from various points in the distribution system were examined for bacterium colon, and after sterilization the average number of bac- terium colon per 100 milliliters was found to be zero. Average al- kalinity of the filtered water was 57 ppm; average pH value was 7.7 from Dalecarlia and 7.4 from McMillan; and average hardness was 80 ppm from Dalecarlia and 76 ppm from McMillan. The over-all cost of all water delivered was $41.55 per million gallons, as compared with $38.20 in 1942. The supplemental items authorized for the fiscal year 1943-44 are in progress, under contract, or completed. The items included are listed with percentage of completion as of June 30, 1943. Rehabilita- tion of Dalecarlia hydroelectric station generators and switching equipment, 90 percent completed; installation of underground duct and cable lines to serve the east shaft booster pumping station, 10 percent completed; installation of new third high pump and electrical control equipment in the Dalecarlia pumping station, 0 percent com- pleted 1; installation of automatic stop valve in the influent of the first high service reservoir, 0 percent completed; 1 repairs to McMillan filters, 25 percent completed; replacement of tainter gate on main con- duit from Dalecarlia Reservoir to Georgetown Reservoir, 0 percent completed : procurement of mechanical sand-washers and repairs to sand-washer piping at the McMillan filter plant, 45 percent completed; partial installation of surface-grid sand-washing systems in the Dale- carlia filters, 30 percent completed; reconstruction of overflow spill- way of the Dalecarlia Reservoir, 20 percent completed. The total cost for the fiscal year was $1,218,390.65 distributed as follows: 1 In conformance with policy to conserve critical materials, work on the items of installa- tion of new third high pump and electrical-control equipment in the Dalecarlia pumping station, installation of automatic stop valve in the influent of the first high service reser- voir, and replacement of tainter gate and main conduit from Dalecarlia Reservoir to Georgetown Reservoir has been deferred.

MAINTENANCE OF GOVERNMENT-OWNED WATER LINES IN ARLINGTON COUNTY, VA. On January 15, 1943, the District Engineer, Washington, D. C., was assigned the responsibility of the maintenance of water supply mains serving the Pentagon Building and the Washington National Airport by the Office, Chief of Engineers. Funds for such maintenance were available to the commanding general, military district of Washington, under procurement authority SOS-10-P-99-A-0905-23 and since the above date, operations of maintaining the water lines have been ac- complished on a reimbursable basis. The Government-owned mains supplying Public Office Building No. 2, Temporary Building No. T-7, and the Bureau of Roads Building have also been accepted for main- tenance and operation. There is included in the pipe system, a total of 16 miles of steel and cast-iron pipe lines including all 6-, 8-, 10-, 12-, 16-, 18-, 24- and 30- inch mains and laterals and a total of 45 fire hydrants. The cost of maintenance, including three major pipe-line repairs, all work in connection with valve locations, valve box repairs, erection of valve markers and repair of fire hydrants, from January 15, 1943, through June 30, 1943, was $4,144.66.

Reinecke, Corps of Engineers. Surveys-Great Lakes.-The existing general project, stated in de- tail in the Annual Report for 1907, pages 844 to 850, comprises the following work: Ascertaining and charting depths in all signifi- cant regions of the Great Lakes to a plane 30 feet below the adopted low-water datum of the open lakes and 25 feet below the corresponding datum in the channels of the connecting rivers, completion of triangu- lation and precise leveling needed to control the areas under survey, river-discharge measurements, investigations of lake levels, magnetic surveys in and near main vessel courses, and prompt examination of areas where obstructions to navigation have been reported. Surveys-New York State canals.-The Sundry Civil Act of March 4, 1911, provided that the survey be extended to include the lakes and other natural navigable waters of the New York State canals. The project contemplated revision and adjustment by field reconnaissance MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 1909 of all existing survey data pertaining thereto, supplemented by such additional topographic and hydrographic surveys as might be required for the publication of navigation charts of these waters. Field work under this project has been completed and the full set of charts has been published. Surveys--Lake Champlain.-The scope of operations was extended by the Sundry Civil Act of June 23, 1913, to include Lake Champlain. Surveys of harbors and other important areas were commenced during the field season of 1928. This work was completed in 1933. Surveys-Boundary waters between the Lake of the Woods and Lake Superior.-The Sundry Civil Act of August 1, 1914, extended the work of the lake survey to include these waters. The project provides for the preparation of navigation charts of the United States waters of the Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake, complete with hydrography. The project work was completed in 1938. Charts.-The project for chart preparation provides for general, coast, river, harbor, and locality charts of the waters above mentioned in accordance with the needs of navigation and modern reproduction practice. The number of charts necessary is not fixed. Changing re- quirements of navigation may render new charts desirable or make old charts unnecessary. Bulletins.-The work pertaining to the Bulletin of the Survey of Northern and Northwestern Lakes consists in publishing annually in April a revised volume of coast and harbor descriptions, etc., and seven monthly supplements from May to November, giving changes and additions. Investigation of lake levels.-The present program of field work and office studies for essential hydraulic investigations of the Great Lakes approved January 21, 1935, embraces current meter work for the revi- sion of flow equations as necessary in the connecting and outflow rivers; field determinations and office studies pertaining to effects of improvements, made or proposed, and of diversions at various locali- ties; compilations and studies relating to rainfall, run-off, evapora- tion, water temperatures, ice retardation, earth tilt, and other phe- nomena affecting the levels of the Lakes; and the installation and operation of gages to maintain records of water-surface elevations and to adjust datum planes for river and harbor improvements. Estimated cost of the work.-The cost of maintenance work, which includes revision and reissue of charts, revisory surveys of harbors, and miscellaneous investigations of obstructions to navigation, obser- vation and study of lake levels, publication of bulletins, supplements, and notices to marines, and other continuing necessary activities, is estimated at $220,000 for the fiscal year 1944. OPERATIONS AND RESULTS DURING THE YEAR Surveys.-Three parties were in the field on July 1, 1942, and a fourth party took the field on July 16. Operations were continued until November. Three parties were organized in the spring of 1943. Field work was started in May, and has been continued to the end of the fiscal year. Localities and character of the work are as follows: Lake Michigan: Revisory surveys of Muskegon Harbor and Stur- geon Bay were completed, and a revisory survey of Green Bay City 1910 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 and the Fox River to De Pere has been started. Examination surveys for chart revision of the harbors from St. Ignace to Sturgeon Bay Canal and to Charlevoix have been made. Search was made for all control points near the west and north shores of the lake, and the points found were remarked if necessary and redescribed. Lake Huron: Search with the sweep was made for reported ob- structions south of Harbor Beach and east of Cheboygan. Lake Erie: Surveys for chart revision of all United States Harbors and offshore sounding. along the south shore of the lake were com- pleted. The rocky area off the entrance to Buffalo Harbor was swept. An unsuccessful search was made for the wreck of the tug Admiral, off Cleveland. Lake Ontario: Surveys for chart revision off all United States harbors west of Sackets Harbor were completed. Charts.-Duringthe year ending June 30, 1943, revised editions of 42 charts were prepared and issued. The number of charts sold during the year was 13,467. The pro- ceeds of sales, amounting to $6,537.75, were deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States. A total of 19,872 charts were issued for official use. Bulletin, etc.-The Bulletin contains descriptions of coast lines, har- bors, channels, menaces to navigation, and other important informa- tion supplementary to the charts, but of too voluminous a character to be incorporated thereon. The book is revised annually, and a stock of the current bulletin and the supplements thereto is kept on hand for distribution. Supplements Nos. 3 to 7, Bulletin No. 51, were issued between July and November 1942. Copy for Bulletin No. 52 was prepared during the winter and for- warded to the Public Printer in February. The edition was received in May. Supplements Nos. 1 and 2 were printed locally under con- tract and were issued in May and June 1943. In addition to the publications mentioned above, mimeographed notices of monthly stages of the Lakes were sent to newspapers, vessel interests, and Government officials in the Lakes region. Investigation of lake levels.-To afford a continuing record of the varying elevations of the surfaces of the Lakes and connecting rivers, 20 self-registering gages and 6 staff gages are maintained at regular stations. Additional gages are read when needed to preserve datum elevations. At the end of the fiscal year, 22 self-registering gages and 12 staff gages were in operation. Studies have been made relating to hydraulic problems of the Great Lakes system and to the effects upon lake levels of improvements for navigation. A few measurements of the flow of the Detroit River were made to check current equations.

The total expenditures during the year, after deducting receipts from sales, were $180,002.07. Condition at end of flscal year.-The present project for surveys on the Great Lakes was formulated in 1907. The project for new work on the Great Lakes, on New York State canals, on Lake Champlain, and on Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake has been completed, and present operations consist of maintenance. Charts.-Lake Survey charts are on sale at the Lake Survey office at Detroit and at the canal office at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Complete sample sets are on file at the United States engineer offices at Duluth, Milwaukee, Chicago, Buffalo, Albany, and New York City, and at the Office of the Chief of Engineers, Washington, D. C., affording addi- tional facilities for examination and selection before placing orders. From 1882 to June 30, 1943, a total sum of $236,995.35 was derived from the sale of charts and deposited in the United States Treasury. In all, 1,264,206 of these charts have been sold and issued for actual service. Costs and expenditures under existing project.-It is impracticable to determine separately the costs for new work and for maintenance since the adoption of the existing project. The approximate com- bined cost, found by deducting expenditures of $3,973,897.31 under previous projects from the total cost of permanent work, is $5,438,- 378.21. The total expenditures under the existing project up to June 30, 1943, amounted to $5,692,172.13.

INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY WATERS THE INTERNATIONAL ST. CROIX RIVER BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.-The Board was organized in pursuance to conditions in the orders of the International Joint Commission approving the maintenance and operation of the dam built by the St. Croix Water Power Co. and the Sprague Falls Manufacturing Co., Ltd., across the St. Croix River at Grand Falls in the State of Maine, and subsequent agreements reached between the Governments of the United States and the Dominion of Canada. The Board is charged with the duty of formulating and adminis- tering rules under which the power plant and accessories are to be operated to prevent as nearly as possible a level of water at the dam higher than 203.5 (mean sea-level datum), and to secure to the users of water below Grand Falls the flow of water to which they are en- titled. The Board is also charged with the supervision of the opera- tion of all fishways on that portion of the St. Croix River that forms the international boundary. On October 2, 1934, the International Joint Commission issued an order approving the reconstruction of the dam, owned by Canadian Cottons, Ltd., extending across the St. Croix River from Milltown in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada, to Milltown in the State of Maine, United States of America, which contained the following conditions: 1. That the reconstructed dam be so operated as to ensure that the forebay levels rise to no higher elevation than that which has heretofore obtained in the operation of the dam now being replaced. 2. That during times of flood the sluiceways of the dam shall be sufficiently- open to ensure passage of the river flow. 3. That the operation of the dam, insofar as is necessary to ensure the observ- ance of the provisions of this order, be under the supervision of the Interna- tional St. Croix River Board of Control. Members of the Board.-The membership of the Board for the fiscal year 1943 was as follows: Mr. Victor Meek, Controller of the Dominion 1914 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 Water and Power Bureau, served as Canadian member. Col. L. B, Gallagher, Corps of Engineers, served as United States member until February 5, 1943, when he was succeeded by Col. George W. Gillette, Corps of Engineers, who was in turn succeeded by Lt. Col. Bruce D. Rindlaub, Corps of Engineers, the present member, on April 30, 1943. Operationsduring the fiscal year.-Supervision was maintained and inspections made to ensure that the regulations of the International Joint Commission were carried out. Proposed operations.-Only such correspondence and inspections as may be necessary to carry out the regulations of the International Joint Commission. THE INTERNATIONAL LAKE CHAMPLAIN BOARD OF CONTROL 'Constitutionand duties.-The Board was organized pursuant to the provisions of the orders, dated June 10, 1937, of the International Joint Commission, approving the construction and operation of certain remedial works in the Richelieu River at Fryer's Island in the Province of Quebec, Dominion of Canada. The Board is charged with the responsibility of ensuring compli- ance with the provisions of the order of approval insofar as they relate to the regulation of the levels of Lake Champlain. Members of the Board.-The members of the Board for the fiscal year 1943 were Mr. Victor Meek, Controller, Dominion Water and Power Bureau, for Canada, and Col. A. B. Jones, Corps of Engineers, for the United States. Operations during the fiscal year.-None. The construction of the Fryer's Island Control Dam was completed in December 1938. Gates have been installed but have not been operated pending excavation of the natural river control upstream from the dam. Proposed operations.-Only such administrative work and inspec- tions as may be necessary to carry out the regulations of the Inter- national Joint Commission will be performed. NIAGARA CONTROL BOARD Constitution and duties.-The Niagara Control Board was consti- tuted in August 1923 to measure and supervise the diversion of waters from the Niagara River so that the level of Lake Erie and the flow of the stream shall not be affected, in accordance with the provisions of article V, treaty between the United States and Great Britain- boundary waters between the United States and Canada-May 13, 1910. Article V of the treaty limits the authorized daily diversion by Canada to 36,000 cubic feet per second and by the United States to 20,000 cubic feet per second. By an exchange of notes between the Secretary of State and the Canadian Minister an additional diversion of 5,000 cubic feet per second for Canada was authorized October 14, 1940. Senate Execu- tive Report No. 8, Seventy-seventh Congress, first session, authorized June 12, 1941, for defense purposes, additional diversion of 3,000 cubic feet per second for Canada, and' 5,000 cubic feet per second for the United States. A further exchange of notes authorized No- vember 28, 1941, additional diversions of 7,500 cubic feet per second for the United States, and 6,000 cubic feet per second for Canada. MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 1915 Members of the Board.-The Board consists of two members, one representing the Dominion of Canada and one representing the United States. During the past year the Canadian representative was Mr. Norman Marr, Chief Hydraulic Engineer, Dominion Water and Power Bureau, Ottawa, and the United States representative was Col. George R. Goethals, Corps of Engineers, to January 15, 1943, and Col. J. M. Silkman, Corps of Engineers, since that date. Operations during the fiscal year.-The Board received daily re- ports of operations of the six hydroelectric generating stations on the Niagara River, all of which divert water above the Falls. These re- ports, submitted in form prescribed by the Board, showing for each hour the units in operation, the power output of each station, and quan- tities of water diverted, were checked by the Board. Monthly and annual summaries were prepared. Weekly and intermittent inspections of all plants were made by representatives of the Board members, jointly and individually, to obtain independent watt-meter readings of power output and to as- sure that all provisions of article V were complied with. Records of water levels in the Niagara River above and below the Falls were obtained by means of four self-registering gages on the United States side. Self-registering gages for determining water levels in the New York State Barge Canal eastward from the Niagara River were installed, and recording operations cover the following periods: June 6, 1942, to November 1942, and June 16, 1943, to June 30, 1943. On November 4, 1940, additional diversions by Canada were begyn under the agreement between the Secretary of State and the Canadian Minister. On June 13, 1941, and November 28, 1941, additional diver- sions by Canada and the United States were begun under the authori- zation in the Senate executive report and the exchange of notes cited above. SPECIAL INTERNATIONAL NIAGARA BOARD In 1926 the Niagara Control Board was enlarged by the addition of two members-Dr. J. Horace McFarland being the additional United States member and Dr. Charles Camsell the additional Canadian member-for an extended investigation into the preservation of the scenic beauty of the Falls and analysis of all factors relative thereto. The Enlarged Board was constituted into a Special International Niagara Board for the purpose of carrying on this investigation. On December 11, 1929, the Special International Niagara Board sub- mitted its final report to the two Governments, with recommendations in regard to remedial works, additional diversions, etc. This report was printed as Senate Document No. 128, Seveilty-first Congress, second session. On January 17, 1931, a large mass of rock forming a part of the crest of the American Falls collapsed and fell into the gorge. A supple- mentary report, which reviewed the basic findings of the Board as presented in its final report of December 11, 1929, and which discussed the relationship of the rock fall to these findings was prepared and submitted on November 10, 1931. This supplementary report con- firmed the conclusions and recommendations made in the final report. This was the last investigation undertaken by the Special International Niagara Board. 1916 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1943 INTERNATIONAL MASSENA BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.-An order of the International Joint Com- mission issued after a hearing on the application of the St. Lawrence River Power Co. for permission to continue to maintain the submerged rock weir constructed by the company in the south Sault Channel of the St. Lawrence River, authorized the maintenance of the weir and, among other things, provided for a board of engineers to pass upon and control the new and old works involved. Members of the Board.-The members of the Board for the fiscal year were Mr. Norman Marr, Chief Hydraulic Engineer, Dominion Water and Power Bureau for Canada; Col. George R. Goethals, Corps of Engineers, to January 15, 1943, and Col. J. M. Silkman, Corps of Engineers, since that date, for the United States. Operations during the fiscal year.-The Board kept in touch with conditions by means of inspections and with respect to the diversion by means of monthly reports of the power company, showing the amount of water diverted and power-house performance from day to day. To overcome a somewhat deteriorated condition of the weir the power company made repairs thereto in the period August to October 1942. INTERNATIONAL LAKE SUPERIOR BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.-The Board organized in pursuance of orders issued by the International Joint Commission, May 26, 1914, is charged with the supervision of the operations of all compensating works and all power canals and accessories with a view to maintaining the level of Lake Superior between elevations 602.1 and 603.6 above mean tide at New York. Members of the Board.-The members of the Board were Mr. Nor- man Marr, for Canada, and Col. Paschal N. Strong, Corps of Engi- neers, for the United States. Operationsduring the fiscal year.-The Board kept in touch during the year with conditions pertaining to the diversion, through repre- sentatives of the United States and Canada on the ground, and by means of regular and systematic reports of the water levels in Lake Superior and in the channels above and below the Sault Locks and in Lake Huron. Records of discharge through the rapids, navigation canals, and power plants at the Sault were also systematically reported to the Board. LAKE OF THE WOODS WATERSHED The members of the International Lake of the Woods Board of Control, the International Rainy Lake Board of Control, and of the International Prairie Portage Board of Control for the fiscal year were Mr. I. R. Stronie, engineer, Dominion Water and Power Bureau, for Canada, and Col. Schenk H. Griffin, Corps of Engineers, to Sep- tember 1, 1942, and Capt. L. S. Kreger, Corps of Engineers since that date, for the United States. LAKE OF THE WOODS The convention between the United States and Great Britain pro- claimed July 17, 1925, provides for the regulation of the level of the MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 1917 Lake of the Woods in order to secure to the inhabitants of the United States and Canada the most advantageous use of the waters thereof, and of the waters flowing into and from the lake on each side of the boundary between the two countries. The convention also provides for the establishment and mainte- nance of a Canadian Lake of the Woods Control Board to regulate and control the outflow of the waters of the lake, and for the estab- lishment and maintenance of an International Lake of the Woods Control Board, composed of two engineers, one representing the United States and the other representing Canada, to whose approval the rate of total discharge shall be subject whenever the elevation rises above elevation 1,061 or falls below elevation 1,056, sea-level datum. Operations during the fiscal year.-Supervision was maintained and inspections were made to'ensure that the provisions of the con- vention were carried out. RAINY LAKE The convention between the United States and Canada, ratified by the United States Senate August 30, 1940, provides, in part, that The International Joint Commission * * * is hereby clothed with power to determine when emergency conditions exist in the Rainy Lake watershed, whether by reason of high or low water, and the Commission is hereby empowered to adopt such measures of control as to it may seem proper with respect to existing dams at Kettle Falls and International Falls, as well as with respect to any existing or future dams or works in boundary waters of the Rainy Lake watershed, in the event the Commission shall determine that such emergency conditions exist. Operations during the fiscal year.-Inspections were made, basic data compiled, and engineering reports were submitted to the Commission. PRAIRIE PORTAGE The Prairie Portage Board of Control was formed by the Inter- national Joint Commission for the purpose of furnishing it with technical advice regarding the suitability of the dam structure at Prairie Portage, Lake County, Minnesota. After approval of the plans by the War Department and the International Joint Commis- sion, the Board has been retained to advise the Commission further regarding progress of construction and by any other matters which might arise concerning this project. The United States Forest Service, which is constructing the dam, has postponed work on this project for the duration of the war and at this time is merely maintaining the cofferdam, which was completed in 1941.
