MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN THE OHIO AND MISSOURI RIVERS Location.-The Mississippi River rises in Lake Itasca, Minn., and, from that lake, flows in a southerly direction about 2,450 miles and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The portion included in this report embraces the 195-mile section known as the middle Missis- sippi, between the tributary Ohio and Missouri Rivers, about 1,081 to 1,276 miles from the Gulf. Previous projects.-The original project for the improvement of the Mississippi River between the Ohio and Missouri Rivers was recommended by a Board of Engineers in a report, dated April 13, 1872, and concurred in by the Chief of Engineers. For further details see page 1879 of the Annual Report for 1915 and page 1014 of the Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for obtaining and maintaining a minimum channel depth of not less than 9 feet, a minimum width of not less than 300 feet at low water, with additional width in bends from the mouth of the Ohio River (about 1,081 miles from the Gulf) to the northern boundary of the city of St. Louis, 191 miles; thence 200 feet wide, with additional width in bends to the mouth of the Missouri River, 4 miles; to be obtained: First, by regulating works, for closing sloughs and secondary channels, and narrowing the river; by building new banks where the natural width is excessive and protecting new and old'banks from erosion where necessary to secure permanency; Second, by dredging or other temporary expedients to maintain channels of project dimen- sions; Third, by construction of works authorized for the Chain of Rocks reach in the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, which approved a comprehensive plan for development of the Mississippi River at Chain of Rocks so as to provide for construc- tion of a lateral canal at an estimated first cost to the United States of approximately $10,290,000, with annual maintenance and oper- ation cost of $70,000, subject to such modification as the Chief of Engineers nmay find necessary when the project is undertaken; and to authorize the relocation of the river channel and reclama- tion of the area in Sawyer Bend for airport, park, recreational, and similar purposes at a cost to'local interests of approximately $17,555,000; provided that any modification of the present river channel required by the civic development be deferred until com- pletion-of the lateral canal in the interest of navigation and that the river diversion work connected with such civic' development be under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers in order to insure that the interests of interstate and foreign commerce be properly protected; and further provided that local interests hold and save the United States free from any claims for damages that might be incurred due to the construction, maintenance, or opera- tion of such civic development or any part thereof (H. Doc. No. 231, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1945, is $53,266,000, with $1,370,000 for annual maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND 1ARBORS--ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, DISTRICT 1221 Acts Work authorized Documents Project for regulating works adopted in 1881. Annual Report, 1881, p. 1536. (To obtain a minimum depth of 8 feet.)

See House Document No. 669 (76th Cong., 3d sess.) for report of Chief of Engineers dated February 27, 1940, containing a gen- eral plan for improvement of the Mississippi River between Coon Rapids Dam and the mouth of the Ohio River for purposes of navigation, power development, the control of floods, and the needs of irrigation. Terminal facilities.-The water terminal and transfer facilities of the district are fully described as of December 31, 1918, in House Document No. 652, Sixty-sixth Congress, second session, pages 1211-1239. Additional data for water terminal and trans- portation facilities are also contained in Transportation Series No. 2, 1929, Transportation in the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, and as of 1941, in volume 1 of the four-volume report of the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, entitled "Survey of Ter- minals and Landings on the Inland Waterways of the United States." Operations and results during fiscal year.-Construction,work by contract and hired labor was curtailed due to high river stages. Stages in excess of 32 feet were recorded during March, April, May, and June, and for the third consecutive year a stage in excess of 30 feet (flood stage) was recorded on the St., Louis (Market Street) gage. Regulating works were maintained and project dimensions of channels were secured by dredging. The district's 1222 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 standard specifications for construction work were used.

New work.-Six dikes, totaling 1,520 feet in length, were built by hired labor with Government plant, at a cost of $70,127.53. Work for one revetment, consisting only of grading 1,200 cubic yards of material by hired labor with Government plant, was accomplished at a cost of $153.25, and 241,797 cubic yards of material were handled by two United States hydraulic dredges in preparing one locality for new regulating works at a cost of $35,743.25. Nineteen dikes, totaling 7,835 feet in length, were built under contract at a cost of $471,626.57. Two revetments, totaling 2,155 feet in length, consisting of 2,155 squares of mat- tress and 584 squares of paving, were built under contract at a cost of $65,987.28. In addition to complete work there was under construction, by contract, 1 revetment to total about 1,160 linear feet and 10 dikes, totaling about 5,645 linear feet. The total cost of new work was $643,637.88, from regular funds. RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, DISTRICT 1223 Maintenance.-Dikes and revetments were repaired at a cost of $400,806.49. The required 9-foot channel was maintained, except for the short periods needed to move a dredge to the shoal, by three United States hydraulic dredges. During the year 46 shoals developed, of which 43 were dredged once, and 2 were dredged twice. There were 4,824,627 cubic yards of sand and gravel re- moved by these dredges from the channel through 46 bars; 217,173 cubic yards of material were removed in outside-the-channel dredging at a cost of $30,840.27. The channels had a combined length of 19 miles, an average width of 310 feet, and an average gain in depth of 5.9 feet. The total cost of maintenance dredging was $440,223.35. Hydrographic surveys were made covering approximately 105 miles of river, costing $36,943.85. Other miscellaneous costs were: Snagging, $15,837.42; aids to navigation, $21,836.16; gages, $15,565.61; cooperative stream gaging, $6,981.87; safeguarding structures, $39,394.15; and releasing grounded vessels, $598.64, all charged to maintenance. The total cost of all maintenance was $978,187.54. The expenditures were $1,749,137.27 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work under this project is about 70 percent complete. The quantities required to complete the project are estimated at 45 dikes, 49,000 linear feet; 28 revet- ments, 108,000 linear feet, and the canal, lock, and levees at Chain of Rocks as recommended in House Document No. 231. Dikes and revetments are now in good repair and the channel has been greatly improved by the work that has been done. Dredging is required at low stages to remove temporary shoals and maintain the required channel depths. In recent years, the project dimensions of channels have gener- ally been maintained throughout the navigation season. The navi- gation season formerly extended from the middle of February to the middle of December, the river being generally closed by ice the remainder of the year. However, in recent years navigation has continued throughout the winter, except when the river is actually blocked by running ice or gorges. The river is generally above the 10-foot stage, St. Louis gage, for 6 months of the year, latter part of February to latter part of August, during which time project channel depths generally prevail without dredging. The mean stage of the river for the fiscal year 1944 was 12.13 feet, St. Louis gage. The mean stage of the river for the fiscal year 1945 was 13.25 feet. The following table gives condition of the channel during the fiscal year 1945: 1224 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Existing project.-This project provides for a channel of 9-foot depth and of adequate width between the mouth of the Missouri River (1,276 miles from the Gulf) and the Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Sault Ste. Marie Railway bridge at Minneapolis, by the con- struction of a system of locks and dams, supplemented by dredging. The project also provides for a further improvement at St. Paul to provide a basin 9 feet deep, varying in width from 400 to 1,100 feet and extending downstream from the Robert Street Bridge for a distance of 2.7 miles, and at Minneapolis to provide adequate terminal facilities. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $172,- 000,000, which includes $8,259,000 for work upstream from the lower Northern Pacific Railway bridge at Minneapolis, but is ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest ap- proved estimate for maintenance and operating costs is $1,861,000 annually, including $851,000 for operating and care of locks and dams.

(ROCK ISLAND DISTRICT) For report on this improvement see page 1255. 2. ILLINOIS AND MISSISSIPPI CANAL, ILL. Location.-This canal connects the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, proceeding from a point on the Illinois River about 12 miles from La Salle across the State of Illinois to the Mississippi River at the mouth of Rock River. Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a canal from the Illinois River, near Bureau Junction, running westerly 1274 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 via the Bureau Creek Valley to Rock River, near Colona, thence in the bed of Rock River to the rapids near Milan, Ill., and thence to the Mississippi River at the mouth of Rock River, at Rock Island, the length of the main line being 75 miles. The feeder, 29.3 miles in length, extends from Rock Falls on Rock River to the summit level of the canal, about 28 miles from the Illinois River. There are 32 locks in the main canal, described in the following tabulation. There is also a lock and controlling works at the head of the feeder at Rock Falls, and a lock in Rock River at Rock Falls connecting the pool of the Government dam with the power com- pany's dam below. This lock has dimensions similar to those in the main canal and cost $75,000. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1902, was $8,911,- 551.12. The estimated cost of operation and maintenance, made in 1936, is $176,000 annually. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents i Sept. 19, 1890 Existing project adopted_________________________ H. Ex. Doc.

RED'ROCK RESERVOIR, UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER BASIN, IOWA Location.-The work covered by the project is on the Des Moines River, in Marion County, Iowa, approximately 155.6 miles above the mouth of the waterway which empties into the Mississippi River about 361.4 miles above the mouth of the Ohio River. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of an earth-filled dam, with crest elevation 814 feet above mean sea level. The spillway proposed is an ogee gravity concrete section, 1,000 feet long with crest at elevation 784 feet above mean sea level, with gate controlled outlets through the ogee having a total discharge capacity of 35,500 cubic feet per second with pool level at elevation 762.4 feet above mean sea level; a concrete powerhouse parallel to the river, to be 100 feet long, 56 feet wide, and 38 feet high with the upstream wall com- posed of the concrete nonoverflow section of the dam, with an installed capacity of 8,600 kilowatts. The drainage area at the dam site is 11,850 square miles. With pool at spillway crest, elevation 784, the reservoir area would be 50,000 acres and would have a total volume of 1,200,000 acre-feet, of which 800,000 acre- feet would be allocated to flood control and the remaining 400,000 acre-feet to power and recreation. Flood waters impounded by the reservoir would reduce flood heights in the Des Moines River and in the Mississippi River: The latest estimate of cost of the project, made in 1943, is $15,000,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944, substantially in accordance with House Document Numbered 651, Seventy-eighth Congress, second session, as a unit of the general comprehensive plan for flood control and other purposes in the Upper Mississippi River Basin, approved by the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938.

SABULA, MISSISSIPPI RIVER, IOWA Location.-The work covered by this project is on the Missis- sippi River at and in the vicinity of the town of Sabula, Iowa, which is 52 miles above Davenport, Iowa, and 535 miles above the mouth of the Ohio River. Existing project.-Two dikes, or levees, now protect the town from flood waters by closing the portion of an old bay which lies west of the town. The proposed improvement consists of the pro- tection of the existing levees, which are exposed to wave wash and current wash, by riprapping at critical points. The latest (1940) estimate of cost to the United States is $25,000 for construction. The existing project was selected and adopted by the Flood Con- trol Act approved December 22, 1944, substantially in accordance with House Document Numbered 328, Seventy-seventh Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Section3 of the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, applies. See page 5 for requirements. The require- ments of local cooperation have not yet been fulfilled.

For further details see page 1888 of the Annual Re- port for 1915, and page 1098 of the Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for the reconstruction of the five original reservoir dams, viz, Winnibigoshish, Leech Lake, Pokegama, Sandy Lake, and Pine River, and the construction of Gull Lake Reservoir. The estimated cost revised in 1928, exclusive of amount ex- pended on previous projects, was $895,000. The estimated cost of operation and maintenance of the reservoirs, made in 1936, is $25,000 annually. The above dams are of solid concrete con- struction, Pokegama being built on bedrock and the others on pile foundations. The Sandy Lake Dam includes a lock 160 feet long, 30 feet wide, with a maximum lift of 9.5 feet and a depth of 2.5 feet on the lower sill at low water. The abandonment of the ditches to connect Long Lake to Round Lake and Round Lake to Gull Lake was recommended in House Document No. 413, Sixty- fourth Congress, first session, and was ordered by Congress in the River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 For reconstruction of 4 of the 5 original damns, and surveys to determine the extent of lands overflowed by the reservoirs.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-The reservoirs were operated as required and the necessary repairs made to the appur- tenant structures. Major repair items included repairs to dwelling and partial repair of timber retaining wall at Leech Lake dam site. The precipitation in the area of the reservoirs during May through August 1944 averaged about 25 inches, or 9.7 inches above normal. This heavy rainfall resulted in high stages in the reser- voirs and in the Mississippi River at Aitkin, Minn. During July and August 1944 the discharges from Winnibigoshish and Leech Reservoirs were kept considerably below the natural discharges, an operation which resulted in a reduction of about 2 feet in the Mississippi River flood stage at Aitkin. As soon as the stage at Aitkin permitted, stored water was released from these two res- ervoirs until the middle of September 1944 when the discharge rates were fairly stabilized. During the fall the discharges were considerably heavier than normal resulting in some flooding and slight damages, but the United States holds flowage rights on all lands affected. The discharges from the other reservoirs from the beginning of the fiscal year to the spring of 1945 were varied substantially in accordance with the inflow rates in order to hold the reservoir levels at safe stages, except for reduced discharges during July 1944 from Pokegama reservoir in order to assist in the reduction of the flood stage at Aitkin, Minn. From March 20 to May 1, 1945, the Mississippi River was above flood stage at Aitkin, Minn., due to heavy runoff from snow melt and rains in the uncontrolled areas in the river basin above Aitkin and partially due to the discharges from the reservoirs made necessary by the high stages therein. Heavy discharges were made after the peak stage had been reached in order to reduce the levels in the reser- voirs to safe stages. Due to low rainfall in April and May 1945 and the fact that heavy discharges were continued until desirable reservoir stages were attained, the reservoirs were low enough at the close of the fiscal year to provide partial flood control. Dur- ing the year there was a net inflow of about 1,886,000 acre-feet into the reservoirs and about 2,225,000 acre-feet were discharged, resulting in a net decrease in storage of about 339,000 acre-feet.

ST. CROIX RIVER, WIS. AND MINN. Location.-The source of the river is in northwestern Wisconsin. It is about 164 miles long and for its greater part forms the boun- dary between Wisconsin and Minnesota. It flows southwesterly and then southerly intb the Mississippi River at Prescott, Wis., 41.5 miles below the Northern Pacific Railroad bridge, Minne- apolis, Minn. The portion included in this improvement extends from the mouth to Taylors Falls, a distance of 52.3 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota, scale 1:500,000, for general location.) Existing project.-This provides for the maintenance of a chan- nel about 25 miles in length, 9 feet in depth and of suitable width from the mouth to Stillwater in connection with the improvement of the upper Mississippi River to afford a depth of 9 feet, and a channel 3 feet deep at mean low water, between Stillwater and Taylors Falls (28 miles) ; also the improvement of the harbor and water front at Stillwater. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1927, was $150,400. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance for that portion of the project between the mouth and Still- water is $10,000. The latest authorization (1939) for mainte- 1.302 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 nance work on the stretch between Stillwater and Taylors Falls is limited to an expenditure of not to exceed $5,000 per year. The existing project'was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work'authorized Documents June 18, 1878 Dredging, etc., for a 3-foot channel between the H. Ex. Doc.

The latest published map is in House Document No. 1008, Sixty- fourth Congress, first session. Terminal facilities.-At Stillwater there is a concrete-paved levee, 550 feet long and 40 feet wide, sloping from the top of the river bank to the water. There is also a piling and timber trestle wharf on the right bank, of which 276 feet is dock and 96 feet ap- proach. At other points along the river landings are made on the banks. The facilities are considered adequate for existing com- merce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Preliminarysurveys in connection with proposed maintenance channel dredging were carried on by hired labor. The costs and expenditures for the year were $605.39, for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All new work was completed in 1930. The extension to provide a 9-foot channel from the mouth to Stillwater was completed on August 12, 1938, when full pool at Dam No. 3 of the Mississippi River canalization project was reached. The maximum draft that could be carried on June 30, 1945, between Stillwater and Taylors Falls was about 2.5 feet; below Stillwater, 9 feet. The total costs to June 30, 1945, were $246,306.28, being $150,409.50 for new work and $95,896.78 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $246,306.28. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, $62,856.94, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys by hired labor------ $1, 056. 94 Dredging channel between Stillwater and mouth by Govern- ment plant and hired labor (Sept.-Oct. 1945) ----------- 61, 800. 00 Total maintenance _-------------------------------- 62, 856. 94 The additional sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947, as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys by hired labor Dredging channel between Stillwater and mouth by Government ------- $900 plant and hired labor (July 1946) -24, 000 Snagging by Government plant and hired'labor--------------- 100 Total maintenance ----------------------- 000 2--------------5, RIVERS AND HARBORS---ST.

MINNESOTA RIVER, MINN. Location.-This river has its source in South Dakota, about 35 miles from Browns Valley, Minn. It is about 400 miles in length, its general direction of flow being easterly, and it empties into the Mississippi River at St. Paul, Minn. For general location, see United States Geological Survey map of Minnesota. Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of August 11, 1888, and July 13, 1892. For fur- ther details see page 1890 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1105 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for open-channel improvement from the Mississippi River to Shakopee (25.6 miles). The object to be accomplished by this improvement is to obtain a channel with 4 feet of water from the Mississippi River to Shakopee, which will accommodate vessels of 3-foot draft. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1892, was $10,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892 (p. 2209 of the Annual Report for 1891). The latest published map will be found on page 1574 of the Annual Report for 1888. Local cooperation.-Nonerequired under the existing project. 1304 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Local interests on March 27, 1942, requested that the section of the channel between the mouth and Savage, Minn., be dredged to a depth of 9 feet, and the Secretary of War under authority con- tained in section 4 of the River and Harbor Act approved March 4, 1915, authorized acceptance of a total of $139,670.91 as local con- tribution to defray costs of dredging in excess of the authorized 4-foot project depth. Terminal facilities.-At Port Cargill, mile 13.7, Cargill, Inc., owns and operates a launching ways, a dock 650 feet in length with warehouse adjacent, with additional mooring space 1,300 feet in length. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Preliminarysurveys were carried on by hired labor to determine amount of snagging or maintenance channel dredging required to maintain the chan- nel. Costs and expenditures for the year were $675.17, for main- tenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1931. Additional channel dredging (see "Local coop- eration"), completed in July 1943, provides: A channel with minimum depth of 9 feet and a width of 100 feet from the mouth to Port Cargill, mile 13.7, except that the 9-foot depth is restricted to a width of 74 feet at the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad bridge, mile 1.7; and a launching basin at Port Cargill, near Savage, Minn., with depths up to 20 feet. Navigation was practicable from Port Cargill, mile 13.7, to Shakopee for drafts not in excess of 3 feet. The total costs and expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1945, were $72,106.37, being $12,730.69 for new work and $59,375.68 for maintenance. In addition, the cost and expenditure from contributed funds was $139,670.91 for new work dredging to a depth of 9 feet, under the provisions of section 4 of the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1915. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, $13,660.62, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys by hired labor $1, 000. 62 Snagging by Government plant and hired labor (June 1946)_ 12, 660. 00 Total maintenance __---------------------------------- 13, 660. 62 The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947, as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys by hired labor --- $500 Snagging by Government plant and hired labor --------------- 4,.500 Total maintenance ----------------------------------- 5, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945 ------- 1 $130, 273. 48 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 ----------------------- 59, 375. 68 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 - '189, 649. 16 Net total expenditures _________----------- -- 189, 649. 16 Unexpended balance June 30, 1945 _-------- - - 13, 660. 62 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945 --------- 203, 309. 78 1 In addition, $139,670.91 contributed and expended for new work.

BLACK RIVER, WIS. Location.-The source of the river is in west central Wisconsin, the river drains an area of 2,270 square miles lying wholly in Wis- consin, and flows in a general southwesterly direction a total dis- tance of about 160 miles to its confluence with the Mississippi River at La Crosse, Wis., 698.2 miles above Cairo, Ill., and 154.8 miles below the lower Northern Pacific Railway bridge at Minne- apolis. The portion of the stream included in this improvement extends from the mouth to a point 1.4 miles upstream. (See U. S. Geological survey map of Wisconsin, scale 1:500,000 for general location.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel depth of 9 feet below the normal elevation of pool No. 8, Mississippi River, sub- stantially from bank to bank and extending from the mouth to a point 1.4 miles upstream. The estimated cost of new work made in 1942 is $72,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $2,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 23, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published maps. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Local interests are required to furnish suitable spoil disposal areas for subsequent maintenance as required. Terminal facilities.-Wadhams division of the Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. owns and operates an oil terminal on the left bank 0.4 mile above the mouth. The city of La Crosse owns and operates a public terminal on the left bank 1.4 miles above the mouth. The terminal consists of a timber trestle 300 feet in length with plank deck, designed for truck and crawler crane operation. The facil- ities are considered adequate for existing commerce. 1306 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 87 percent complete. Channel dredging completed provides 9-foot depth for width of about 300 feet throughout the full length of the project except for contraction to 100 feet at the Chicago, Mil- waukee, St. Paul, and Pacific Railroad bridge, mile 1.0. Work remaining to complete the project consists of removal of obstruc- tions at various points outside the dredged area to clear the chan- nel to full project width. The total costs and expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1945, were $67,584.96 for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, $2,500, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys by hired labor Dredging channel between mouth and mile 1.4 by Government ----------- $500 plant and hired labor (June 1946) 2, 000 Total maintenance ------------------------------------ 2, 500 The additional sum of $2,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys by hired labor Dredging channel by Government plant and hired labor (Septem- ----------- $200 ber 1946) --------------------------------------------- 2, 300 Total maintenance ------------------------------- 2, 500 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945----------------------- $67, 584. 96 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945-------- 67, 584. 96 Net total expenditures ------------------------------------- 67, 584. 96 Unexpended balance June 30, 1945 --------------------------- 2, 500. 00 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945 ----------- 70, 084. 96 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work_--------------- $63, 356. 12 $131. 67 - Cost of maintenance - - _ Total expended ----------------- . 48, 876.67 14, 668. 70 Allotted .----------------------- 2, 500. 00 -4, 500. 00 -$15, 415. 04 -__ _ $2, 530 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act ________________------------ approved Mar. 31, 1945 ---------------------- $2, 500.00 Balance unexpended June 30, 1945 _------------------------- 2, 500. 00 Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for completion _ of existing project -------------------------------------- 4, 400. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1947 for maintenance' -------------------------- 2, 500. 00 I Exclusive of available funds.

DRY RUN, IOWA Location.-In northeastern Iowa, on Dry Run, a tributary of the upper Iowa River at Decorah, Iowa. (See U. S. Geological Survey map, Decorah quadrangle, Iowa.) 131.0 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Existing project.-The Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, authorized a flood-retention reservoir and channel enlarge- ment downstream for the protection of the city of Decorah. The Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941, Public No. 228, Seventy-seventh Congress, first session, modified the project to provide for diversion of Dry Run into the upper Iowa River, a levee system along the upper Iowa River in Decorah for protection of adjacent property against augmented high-water flow, raising a section of railroad tracks and State Highway No. 9, and neces- sary alterations to bridges and protection to existing structures in the vicinity. The diversion is to be accomplished by a dam across Dry Run at a point about 1 mile southwest of Decorah and a diver- sion channel 3,200 feet in length from that point through high ground to the upper Iowa River on the north. The project will provide complete protection to residential, industrial, and com- mercial areas totaling about 260 acres within the city limits of Decorah against the maximum probable flood on Dry Run and the upper Iowa River. Floods creating serious damages have occurred about once every 11 years. The estimated Federal cost is $460,000, and the cost to local interests for lands and damages is $22,000. Local cooperation.--See page 5 for requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Design, including preliminary surveys and explorations, was intermittently carried on by hired labor as other work more essential to the war effort permitted. The costs for the year were $25,852.43 for new work, and the expenditures were $25,767.43. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-Design, including preliminary surveys and explorations, is approximately 96 percent complete. No construction has been started. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1945, were $74,018.03, and the expen- ditures were $71,747.82. Proposed operations.-Of the balance unexpended June 30, 1945, $5,752.18, the amount of $3,481.97 will be applied to new work, completing design of proposed improvements with hired labor, and $2,270.21 for liquidation of accounts payable. The additional sum of $382,500 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal years 1946 or 1947 for construction of the project by contract.

LAKE TRAVERSE AND BOIS DE SIOUX RIVER, S. DAK. AND MINN. Location.-The works covered by this project lie along Lake Traverse and Bois de Sioux River between the upper end of Lake Traverse at Browns Valley, Minn., and the mouth of Bois de Sioux River at Breckenridge, Minn. The lake drains through the river to the Red River of the North, and the two waters form a portion of the boundary between the State of Minnesota and the States of North and South Dakota. For general location see United States Geological Survey map of Minnesota. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for use of Lake Traverse as a flood-control and water-conservation reservoir and for channel improvement in the river below the lake. It in- cludes construction of a dam near White Rock, S. Dak., at the north end of Lake Traverse, a structure at the Reservation High- way crossing for control of the upper section of the Reservoir, levees, and embankments necessary near Browns Valley, Minn.; and channel improvement of approximately 24 miles of the Bois de Sioux River from the outlet of Lake Traverse northward toward Breckenridge, Minn. The dam near White Rock, S. Dak., consists of a movable-gate control section between two sections of rolled fill embankment with a total length of approximately 14,400 feet from high ground on the Minnesota side to high ground on the South Dakota side, and supplemented by channel improvement of the Bois de Sioux River downstream and an embankment approxi- mately 5,000 feet long at the south end of Lake Traverse for the 1312 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 protection of Browns Valley, Minn., constitutes the flood-control feature of the project. The structure at Reservation Highway crossing consists of a stone-paved dike spillway with superim- posed stop log spans with total length of approximately 113 feet between steel sheet pile abutment walls behind which compacted fill connects with the existing highway, and is operated to main- tain the water level in the upper section of the lake. The project with reservoir capacity for flood control of 126,000 acre-feet, affords protection to about 42,000 acres of agricultural land from floods up to those which may be expected to occur once in 30 years and should restore Lake Traverse to its former natural condition as a habitat for an abundance of wildlife and fish. The latest approved estimate of cost (1937) is $1,474,000, of which $1,115,200 is for construction and $358,800 for land and damages. The latest (1944) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $9,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Moving of a shop and warehouse building from another site and reconstruction at this site was completed, except for installation of hardware items. Acquisition of land during the year involved acquiring fee title to 36.20 acres and flowage easements on 3,161.67 acres. Miscella- neous design was in progress in connection with the remaining features required to complete the project. Costs for the year for new work, all by hired labor, were $347.73 for moving and re- construction of building; $122,488.47, for land and flowage ac- quisition; and $2,584.88 for design. The White Rock Dam and the Reservation Control Structure were operated as required, and the necessary repairs made thereto and to appurtenant works at a cost of $6,429.03. The project operation during the year was in accordance with the adopted plan. Flood-waters in storage at the beginning of the fiscal year amounted to 17,600 acre-feet which was practically all released in July 1944. From July 31, 1944, until fall a discharge of about 10 second-feet was maintained for fish life in the Bois de Sioux River. During the winter no discharges were made and the two pools remained at about their normal conservation levels. Runoff from an exceptionally early spring thaw, commencing about March 10, 1945, was easily stored by using only 22,800 acre-feet of the 137,000 acre-feet capacity available for flood control. It is estimated that the crest of the flood on the Red River of the North at Wahpeton, N. Dak., 7.2 feet on March 18, 1945, was reduced by more than 0.5 foot as the result of this operation. Beginning March 31 and through May 3, 1945, the flood storage was released. The discharge was maintained at approximately 10 second-feet from May 4 to June 14, 1945. At the close of the fiscal year the storage of runoff from general rains during June 1945 amounting to 16,000 acre-feet had practically all been discharged and the outflow at White Rock Dam had been reduced to 10 second-feet. FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1313 Total costs for the year were $131,850.11, of which $125,421.08 were for new work, and $6,429.03 for operating and care. The expenditures were $134,657.43. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project as a whole was 92 percent complete. A contract for raising and reconstruct- ing State Highways Nos. 27 and 28 near Browns Valley dike, on which work has been suspended, is 90 percent complete. Recon- struction of a shop and warehouse building is complete, except. for installation of hardware items. Work remaining to be initiated to complete the project included: Necessary alterations of bridges and raising of highways along Minnesota side of Lake Traverse; construction of an esplanade, and slope protection, at White Rock Dam; and drainage at Browns Valley. Fee title to 1,278.48 acres and easements on 5,140.93 acres have been acquired, which has completed the land and flowage acquisi- tion except for acquiring easements on 803.22 acres of land. The White Rock Dam and the Reservation Control Structure are in operation and in good condition and the earth dams, dikes, channels, and appurtenances are in fair condition. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1945, were $1,310,106.36 being $1,268,187.10 for new work and $41,919.26 for operating and care. The expenditures were $1,310,764.91.

FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1315 11. BALDHILL RESERVOIR, SHEYENNE RIVER, N. DAK. Location.-The Baldhill dam site is located on the Sheyenne River, 16 miles upstream from Valley City, N. Dak. and about 271 miles above the mouth. The Sheyenne River rises in central North Dakota and flows 500 miles generally southeast to enter the Red River of the North about 10 miles north of Fargo, N. Dak. (For general location see U. S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of an earth-fill dam, having a height of about 59 feet above the stream bed and a total length of approximately 1,925 feet, including a concrete spillway-control section consisting of four submersible tainter gates, each with a span of 40 feet and crest at an elevation of 11 feet below dam crest, with a controlled 3-foot diameter conduit in each of the three piers. The dam will create a reservoir of 66,000 acre-feet capacity and will control the run-off from an effective drainage area of 983 square miles, thereby providing a substantial degree of flood control, and in- suring pollution abatement benefits and adequate water supply for the section of the Sheyenne River below the dam and the sec- tion of the Red River of the North below the mouth of the Sheyenne River as well as affording some reduction in the flood stages along the Red River of the North. In order that a part of the regulated flow may be available for water supply and pollution abatement in the Red River of the North at Fargo, N. Dak., the plan also provides for the construction of a low concrete diversion dam in the Sheyenne River 35 miles above the mouth, and a short ditch leading thence to the existing Stanley Ditch, the latter to be cleared and deepened to the Red River of the North which it enters about 9 miles above Fargo, N. Dak. The estimated cost (1941) to the United States for new work is $810,000. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $6,000, for operating and care of the Baldhill dam. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (S. Doc. No. 193, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document.

FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1317 12. RED LAKE RIVER, MINN., INCLUDING CLEARWATER RIVER, MINN. Location.-The works covered by this project lie along the upper reach of the Red Lake River and also along the Clearwater River, a tributary of the Red Lake River, between a point near Plummer, Minn., and a point 0.9 mile upstream from the mouth of Ruffy Brook. Red Lake River, the principal tributary of the Red River of the North, has its source at the outlet, of Lower Red Lake in the northwestern portion of Minnesota and has a total length of about 196 river miles. It flows in a westerly direction to its junction with the Red River of the North at East Grand Forks, Minn. The meandering length of the Clearwater River in its general westerly course from its source near Ebro, Minn., to its junction with the Red Lake River at Red Lake Falls, Minn., is about 205 miles. (For general location see U. S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project.-The following features are included in the plan of improvement: Rectification and enlargement of 37.2 miles of the channel of the Red Lake River so as to provide a bottom width of 40 feet throughout the reach between river mile 150.6 near High Landing, Minn., and the outlet of Lower Red Lake; modification of the existing stop-log structure, which was con- structed at the outlet of Lower Red Lake by the Indian Service, so as to provide for the installation of three hand-operated tainter gates, one stop-log bay, and one sluice gate; construction of an approach channel to the structure 800 feet long, having a bottom width of 70 feet; and rectification, clearing and enlargement of 37.7 miles of the channel of the Clearwater River between river mile 41.5 near Plummer, Minn., and a point 0.9 mile upstream from the mouth of Ruffy Brook, so as to provide a bottom width of 40 feet throughout the lower 28.5 miles and 30 feet throughout the remaining 9.2 miles. The channel improvements will eliminate a large percentage of the flood damages resulting from overflow of the rivers and will provide adequate channels in Red Lake and Clearwater Rivers to carry the discharge from drainage ditches. Modification of the existing control works at the outlet of lower Red Lake will provide for a discharge capacity of 1,000 cubic feet per second through the structure when the lake is at normal eleva- tion (1,174.0) and will insure the release of sufficient water to meet the needs at all times of municipalities along Red Lake River. The estimated cost (1940) to the United States for new work is $902,940. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $2,000 for operating and care of the control structure. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (H. Doc. No. 345, 78th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Local cooperation.-The improvement is subject to the condi- tions that responsible local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will, without cost to the United States, provide all flowage easements and rights-of-way; hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works and operation; make a cash contribution of $33,220 in lieu of altering bridges; take over the maintenance and subsequent 1318 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 replacement of all bridges improved by the United States; main- tain the improved river channels; control the contamination by rural areas and villages without sewer systems of Red Lake, Clearwater, and Thief Rivers; require that municipalities which discharge sewage into Red Lake, Clearwater, or Thief Rivers treat their sewage before discharge .into the streams so as to effect a reduction in the biochemical oxygen demand of not less than 85 percent for towns of 1,000 population or greater and of 35 percent for municipalities having a population less than 1,000; and prevent the construction of any new dams or the raising of any existing dams in Red Lake, Clearwater, or Thief Rivers downstream from Lower Red Lake, Clearwater Lake, or Mud Lake unless authorized by the War Department. Although local interests have not been formally notified in writ- ing of the above requirements, statements have been received indicating that all such requirements will be complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preliminaryinves- tigations and design were initiated by hired labor. Costs for the year were $5,896.16, for new work. The expenditures were $2,083.86.

PARK RIVER RESERVOIR, N. DAK. Location.-The Park River dam site is located on the South Branch of the Park River, about 4 miles upstream from Park River, N. Dak., and 62.1 miles above the mouth of the Park River. South, Middle, and North Branches, the headwater streams of the Park River, rise in Cavalier County in northeastern North Dakota and flow in an easterly direction to an almost common confluence near Grafton, N. Dak., forming the main stream which flows easterly 35 miles to join the Red River of the North about 36 miles south of the international boundary. (For general location see U. S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project.-The following features are included in the plan of improvement: An earth-fill dam, having a height of about 62 feet above the stream bed and a length of approximately 840 feet; a 4-foot inside diameter concrete conduit under the dam, with a 4- by 3-foot inside dimension concrete control tower super- imposed on the conduit on the upstream slope of the dam, and a separate intake and trash rack tower at the upstream toe of the dam; and a trapezoidal spillway adjacent to the dam with 150-foot wide flat crest at an elevation of 14.5 feet below the dam crest with a trapezoidal sluiceway decreasing in bottom width from 150 feet to 50 feet. Partial flood control protection will be afforded by the reservoir of 5,900 acre-feet capacity which will be created by the dam and the reservoir storage capacity of 3,650 acre-feet below spillway crest will be used to provide a minimum flow of 5 second-feet in the river to meet the water-conservation needs in the reach from the dam to Grafton, N. Dak. The estimated cost (1940) to the United States for new work is $358,610. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $2,050 for operating and care of the dam. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (S. Doc. No. 194, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Local cooperation.-The improvement is subject to the condi- tions that local interests make a cash contribution of $40,000 toward the construction cost, and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project; make necessary changes in roads, bridges, and utilities; maintain the channel below the res- 1320 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 ervoir; hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; limit future construction of dams below the reservoir; and prevent the discharge of raw sewage into the river by municipalities. Although local interests have not been advised formally in writ- ing of the above requirements, they have indicated their willing- ness to comply with such requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done and no allotments have been made. Proposed operations.-The sum of $30,000 allotted in July 1945 will be applied to the design, preparation of contract plans and specifications, and land line surveys by hired labor. The additional sum of $328,600 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 for completion of the project. 14. PEMBINA RIVER RESERVOIR, N. DAK. Location.-The Pembina River dam site is located on the Pem- bina River, about 9 miles upstream from Walhalla, N. Dak. and 96.9 miles above the mouth. The Pembina River has its head- waters in southern Manitoba, Canada, and flows southeasterly to the vicinity of Elwood, N. Dak., then easterly to join the Red River of the North about 2 miles south of the international boundary. Its length is 275 miles, of which 115 are in the United States. (For general location of dam site see U. S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of an earth-fill dam, having a height of about 64 feet above the stream bed and a length of 1,040 feet, including a con- crete spillway section having a 150-foot wide crest at an elevation 23.5 feet below dam crest, with a sluiceway decreasing in bottom width from 150 feet to 50 feet, and a 6.5-foot square inside dimen- sion concrete conduit under the dam, with a 4-foot square inside dimension concrete control tower superimposed on the conduit at the upstream toe of the dam. The reservoir created by the dam will have a capacity of 19,000 acre-feet. The reservoir storage capacity of 7,000 acre-feet below spillway crest will be used to provide a minimum flow of 5 second-feet to meet the water-con- servation needs. Benefits of an intangible nature which would result include.a more adequate supply of water for fire protection; alleviation of danger of epidemics to people and livestock; exten- sive recreational benefits; and improvement in the general welfare and social security of the people residing near the reservoir site and in the river basin below the dam. The estimated cost (1941) to the United States for new work is $95,300. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $2,580 for operating and care of the dam. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (H. Doc. No. 565, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document.

Location.-The Tongue River dam site is located on the Tongue River, about 13 miles upstream from Cavalier, N. Dak., and about 60.2 miles above the confluence of the Pembina and Tongue Rivers. Tongue River, the main tributary of the Pembina River, has its source in Cavalier County in northeastern North Dakota and flows northeasterly approximately 100 miles to join the Pembina River near the eastern boundary of North Dakota. (For general loca- tion see U. S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project.-The following features are included in the plan of improvement: An earth-fill dam, having a height of about 40 feet above the stream bed and a total length of 2,090 feet, including spillway section; the spillway section composed of steel pile cells and grouted stone, with 180-foot wide crest at an eleva- tion 13.5 feet below dam crest, and a sluiceway decreasing in bottom width from 180 to 50 feet; and a 36-inch diameter corru- gated steel pipe conduit under the dam, with a concrete control tower superimposed on the conduit at the upstream berm, and a separate concrete trash rack tower at the upstream toe of the dam. The reservoir created by the dam will have a capacity of 6,400 acre-feet at spillway design flood stage and a storage capacity of 3,000 acre-feet below spillway crest. It will provide for reservoir control of floodwaters and for a minimum release of 3 second-feet during 9 years out of 10 in which spring run-off would fill the reservoir to storage capacity. The estimated cost (1941) to the United States for new work is $238,500. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $2,410 for operating and care of the dam. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (H. Doc. No. 565, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published 'map is contained in the project document. Local cooperation.-The improvement is subject to the condi- tions that local interests make a cash contribution of $68,600, toward the construction cost; and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide without cost to the 1322 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project; maintain the channel below the reservoir; make necessary changes in roads, bridges, and utilities; hold and save the United States free from claims for damages due to the construction works; limit future construction of dams or other works below the reservoir; and establish preventive meas- ures to control contamination of the river. Local interests have not been formally advised in writing of the above requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done and no allotments have been made. Proposed operations.-No work is proposed for fiscal year 1946. The sum of $35,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for design, contract plans and specifications, and land line surveys with hired labor. 16. LAC QUI PARLE RESERVOIR, MINNESOTA RIVER, MINN. Location.-The works covered by this project lie along Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes and the Minnesota River between the head of Marsh Lake and Granite Falls, Minn. For general loca- tion see United States Geological Survey map of Minnesota. Existing project.-Constructionof the Lac qui Parle Reservoir was initiated as a Works Progress Administration project spon- sored by the State of' Minnesota, prior to its authorization as a Federal project by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The present plan of improvement provides for completion and maintenance by the War Department of the structures on Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes and the Chippewa River diversion works, substantially completed by the Work Projects Administration for use of Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes as flood control and water conservation reservoirs, and for channel improvement of the Minnesota River below the lakes. The project includes a main dam at the outlet of Lac qui Parle Lake, a structure between Marsh Lake and Lake Lac qui Parle, for control of the Marsh Lake Reservoir, a dam and diversion channel near Watson, Minn., for diverting floodwaters of the Chippewa River into the Lac qui Parle Reservoir, necessary alterations to highways, railroads, and bridges in the vicinity, and improvement of the channel of the Minnesota River at various locations between Lake Lac qui Parle and Granite Falls. The Lac qui Parle Dam, which carries a high- way across the Minnesota River, consists of a control structure of 12 bridge spans incorporating sluice gates and a fixed spillway weir, a 2,500-foot emergency spillway, and sections of highway embankment connecting with high ground on either side of the valley. The Marsh Lake Dam consists of a 110-foot concrete spill- way and two sections of dredged earth fill totaling approximately 8,500 feet in length. The Chippewa River Flood Diversion Dam consists of a concrete fixed crest structure supporting a highway bridge, and a section of earth fill through which is provided a conduit for discharge of low water flow. The diversion channel for passing floodwaters of the Chippewa River into the Lac qui Parle Reservoir is 3,500 feet in length cut through a natural ridge FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1323 separating the river and an arm of the lake. A rolled earth fill dike extending along the lower south side of the channel is an extension of the diversion dam and serves also to protect the ad- jacent railroad tracks from being flooded. Improvement of the Minnesota River between Lake Lac qui Parle and Granite Falls consists of rock removal and cut-offs at various locations to pro- vide for increasing the bank-full capacity of the channel to about 4,000 second-feet. The project, with reservoir capacity of about 94,500 acre-feet for flood control above normal elevations of the two conservation pools, will provide protection for agricultural lands against summer floods estimated to have a frequency of about once in 25 years and protection.against spring floods having a frequency of about once in 12 years. Storage of 58,500 acre-feet for conservation purposes provided below normal elevations of conservation pools will result in improved lake levels for recreation and game conservation in addition to providing for increased low water flow downstream for agricultural interests and for sewage disposal at Granite Falls. The estimated cost to the United States for completion of the project, revised in 1943, is $299,500 for construction and $495,000 for lands and damages. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $9,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Flowage surveys, investigation of fee titles and flowage easements, and negotiations in connection with completing an agreement with the State of Minnesota relative to land acquisition were carried on by hired labor. Total costs for the year were $6,988.08, for new work, and the expenditures were $8,024.64. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project as a whole was approximately 41 percent complete. Contracts have been completed, all in the year 1942 as follows: Lac qui Parle Dam improvements; channel improvement of the Minnesota River, bituminous surfacing, Lac qui Parle Dam spillway; Marsh Lake Dam improvements; Great Northern Railroad bridge alteration and grade raising; and stage recorder houses. Work remaining to be initiated to complete the project includes: Raising or relocating Louisburg-Correll Highway; clearing portions of the reservoir area; a short reach of channel excavation below Marsh Lake Dam; and installation of cranes and bulkheads at the Lac qui Parle Dam. Negotiations toward obtaining fee title or flowage easements on all affected lands is nearing completion. The total costs under the existing project to June 30. 1945, were $337,057.26, being $330,606.50 for new work and $6,450.76 for maintenance. The expenditures were $338,001.53. Proposed operations.-The unexpended halance June 30, 1945, $443.648.47, and accounts receivable at the end of the year, $1,655.37, minus $4,000 revoked in July 1945, a total of $441,303.84 will be applied as follows: 1324 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

MISSOURI RIVER, KANSAS CITY TO THE MOUTH Location.-The Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri River, which flows southeasterly 2,464.41 miles across or along, seven States to the Mississippi River, 17 miles above St. Louis. For description, see page 1149, Annual Report for 1932. Practically the entire length of the section from Kansas City to the mouth is contained within the State of Missouri. 1 The mileage for the Missouri River between the mouth and Three Forks, Mont., is meas- ured along the 1932 channel line from the mouth to Rulo,. Nebr.; along the 1939 proposed improved channel line from Rulo to Sioux City, Iowa; along the 1930 channel line from Sioux City to Fort Benton, Mont.; and along the 1890 channel line from Fort Benton to Three Forks. 672607-46-pt. 1, vol. 2-8 1330 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Previous projects.-The first appropriation for improvement by regulation was made in the River and Harbor Act of June 18, 1878. The original plan for comprehensive improvement was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882, modified by River and Harbor Acts of July 5, 1884, September 19, 1890, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1891 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1153 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel of 9-foot depth and width not less than 300 feet, to be obtained by revetment of banks, construction of permeable dikes to contract and stabilize the waterway, cut-offs to eliminate long bends, closing of minor channels, removal of snags, and dredging as required. Length of section under improvement (mouth to upper end of Quindaro Bend) is 386.2 miles (1932 mileage). Ordinary and extreme fluc- tuations of stage are 16 and 38 feet, respectively. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1945 to include the estimated cost of the 9-foot project, is $87,500,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The estimated cost for annual maintenance is $2,000,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July 25, 1912 Project adopted for securing a permanent navi- H. Doc.

I Contains latest published maps of the Missouri River. Local cooperation.-The project provides that cooperation from benefited localities may be required, in case a comprehensive plan is adopted by Congress, for an apportionment of expense, where any improvement confers special benefit: and receipt of contribu- tions from private parties, to be expended with Government funds upon authorized works where such would be in the interest of navigation, is authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1915. The Secretary of War has approved the general prin- ciple of cooperative construction on the Missouri River below Kansas City on the basis that 25 percent of the cost of any special installation shall be paid by the United States and 75 percent by the local interests. The total amount contributed by local interests in cooperation with the United States from 1918 to June 30, 1945, was $675,- 662.80, of which $8,647.11 was returned to contributors. Work done by private interests for the benefit of the public dur- ing the fiscal year 1945 was as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1331 Wayne City Bend.-The Wabash Railroad Co. completed ap- proximately 1,200 linear feet of bank protection work along the left bank in Wayne City Bend, in the vicinity of Missouri River mile 361.5 (1932 mileage). This work consisted of the placing of two rows of railway coal car bodies fastened together, weighted and anchored with steel cables to deadmen landward of the high bank at a cost of $23,620.86. Terminal facilities.-Facilitiesfor transferring grain, petro- leum products, and other commodities are maintained at various locations on this section of the river. These facilities are listed in the following table: Location 2 Miles Description of facility 1 above mouth Nearest town (1932 mileage) Oil-loading facilities_ - 384. 6 Kansas City, Kans.

The above-listed facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Additional terminals, however, are contemplated for construction at other points as soon as conditions warrant. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work.-This work consisted of the construction by hired labor of three lengths of revetment totaling 2,548 linear feet, including the excavation of 157,463 cubic yards of earth by the U. S. dredge Mitchell at a total cost of $93,694.85; incidental costs of $30.55 expended on acquisi- tion proceedings and related work in connection with the acquisi- tion of land to provide rights-of-way for channel changes from Portland Reach to Bellefontaine Bend (estimated total acres re- quired is 596), and the accomplishment of engineering, design, and surveys at a total cost of $3,534.50. The total cost of new work was $97,259.90. In addition to completed works, there are in process of construc- tion, by hired labor, three lengths of revetment to total about 2,712 linear feet. Maintenance.-This work consisted of the repair, by contract, of 1,223 linear feet of revetment and work preliminary to the repair of dikes at a total cost of $34,715.54; the accomplishment, by hired labor, of the following: Removal of 4,412,574 cubic yards of ma- 1332 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 terial from 50 localities, by U. S. dredges Black, Clark, Lewis, and Mitchell, at a total cost of $229,555.06; the construction of 1,678 linear feet of protection of accretion, repair of 52,505 linear feet of revetment, including 360 linear feet of mattress construction in connection with revetment repair by contract, and 17,130 linear feet of dike (including 913 linear feet of rock-filled dike), includ- ing the placing of 605,115 cubic yards of dredge fill by the U. S. dredge Black, in connection with the repairs to structures, and con- struction of 1,150 linear feet of bank protection mattress at a total cost of $1,248,699.48; removal of four snags at a cost of $150.72; engineering, design, and surveys in connection with maintenance work at a total cost of $155,617.90; marking channel for naviga- tion at a cost of $102,996.27; and stream gaging for special studies and working data at a cost of $5,730.77. The total cost of all maintenance work was $1,777,465.74. The total costs for the fiscal year were as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular funds_ $97, 259. 90 $1, 777, 465. 74 $1,874, 725. 64 The total expenditures were $2,148,624.19. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 88 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The physical ex- -tnf of work accomplished was 1,749,642 linear feet of dikes, 1,023,993 linear feet of revetment, 29,499 linear feet of abatis, 27,493 linear feet of bank protection, 35,842 linear feet of retards, 16,561 linear feet of levees, five revetment spillways, excavation of 4,545,734 cubic yards of material in the construction of pilot canals, removal of 75,123.5 linear feet of existing structures, dredge fills totaling 1,453,332 cubic yards, removal of 432,664 cubic yards of rock, removal of 81,081,860 cubic yards of material by dredging, and removal of 2,827,570 cubic yards of material in.the improvement of bank alinement. In general, the majority of the structures that have not accomplished the purpose intended are in only fair condition. The destructive floods experienced in recent years have taken a heavy toll on these river-improvement stiuc- tures. However, the structures have maintained control of the river channel in that the flood waters were prevented from chang- ing the course of the river, as was often the case prior to the in- stallation of these structures. Although additional dikes and revetment are required to attain the project dimensions, a channel with a minimum depth of 6 feet and a minimum width of 200 feet is, in general, available throughout the navigation season, which approximately covers the period from March 15 to November 30. The controlling depth throughout this section of the river on June 30, 1945, was generally in excess of 6 feet, due to the high river stage, at which time there was an average discharge at Kansas City, Mo., of 93,500 cubic feet per second. The practicable draft at ordinary stages of the river is 5.5 feet. This section of the river has been used for commercial navigation since June 1935.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1337 2. MISSOURI RIVER, KANSAS CITY TO RULO See report on Missouri River, Kansas City to Sioux City, page 1374. 3. OSAGE RIVER, MO. Location.-This river, rising in eastern Kansas, flows easterly 516 miles in sinuous bends to the Missouri River, 129 miles above its mouth and 14 miles below Jefferson City. Existing project.-This provides for a lock and dam and for open-channel work consisting of wing dams and training walls, removal of obstructions, and dredging between the mouth and Warsaw to obtain a uniform depth of 3 feet. The length of section included in the project is 164.7 miles1 and consists of two parts, mouth to Bagnell Dam (Federal Power Commission project No. 459 at mile 75.4 above the mouth) and Bagnell Dam to legal head of navigation (immediately below Warsaw). Ordinary and ex- treme fluctuations of stage on the Osage River below Bagnell Dam are 15 and 41 feet and on the Lake of the Ozarks, formed' by Bag- nell Dam, are 10 and 30 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1928, is $250,000, exclusive of the lock and dam, for open-channel work as far as the mouth of the Niangua River (107 miles above the mouth of the Osage River). The latest (1936) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $18,500, including $6,000 for operating and care of lock and dam. The following table shows the principal fea- tures of the lock and dam included in the project: Lock and dam No. 1, Osage River Nearest railroad station ---- Osage City, Mo., 6 miles. Distance above mouth of river --------------- 7.4 miles. Lock dimensions 42 by 220 feet. Lift of lock 16 feet. Depth on lower miter sill at low water _ 9 feet.

For latest published maps see H. Doc. No. 91, 73d Cong., 1st sess. Terminal facilities.-On the Lake of the Ozarks, formed by Bag- nell Dam, there are several marine ways and drydocks operated by private interests which are capable of handling any boats now operating or likely to be operated on the lake. There also exist a few docks which are open to the public, and numerous private docks and storage facilities. These facilities adequately fulfill ex- isting needs. On the Osage River below Bagnell Dam there are several small boat docks maintained by private interests which adequately ful- fill existing needs. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work consisted of the operation and care of the lock and dam as required for the passage of small craft at a total cost of $4,693.35 and reconstruc- tion of one Government-owned building destroyed by the flood of May 1943 on the Osage River at a cost of $705.31. There were six lockages for six small craft which passed through the lock. The total cost of all work was $5,398.66 and the total expendi- tures were $5,314.72. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Damage and destruction re- sulting from the flood of May 1943 which swept down the Osage River valley in volumes exceeding all records of prior years and inundated the reservation and caused damages to Government property has been repaired or replaced. The flood on the Osage River in the spring of 1944 and 1945 caused some additional dam- age and destruction. Except for the construction of two wing dams, one in 1925 and one in 1926, the open-channel work was completed sufficiently in 1919 to provide reasonable accommodations for the commerce ac- tually using the channel. Upon the completion of Bagnell Dam in 1931, navigable depths in excess of the project depth were made available at all times on the portion of the project upstream from mile 75.4. Navigation activities on the latter section have in- creased considerably with the development of the Lake of the Ozarks as a recreational area. The controlling depth from the mouth of the river to mile 21, or about 14 miles above the lock and dam, is 3 feet, and drafts of 2 feet over this section are practicable. The controlling depth from mile 21 to Bagnell Dam is 2 feet and drafts in excess of 18 inches are RIVERS AND HARBORS--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1339 not practicable. On the Lake of the Ozarks, depths of 10 feet or more are available at any ordinary stage of the lake from Bagnell Dam to Warsaw, Mo. The topography adjacent to the lake is such as to form various coves in the lake of which many have depend- able channels for navigation for considerable distance above their confluences with the main stem of the lake. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1945, was $1,- 273,725.19 from regular funds, of which $658,075.71 was for new work, $543,847.22 was for maintenance, and $71,802.26 was for operation and care of the lock and dam. The total expenditures were $1,274,024.29 from regular funds. In addition, the sum of $190,561.10 was expended between July 1, 1912, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $5,523.64 and accounts receivable of $299.10, together with an expected allot- ment will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1946, as follows: Maintenance (July 1, 1945, to June 30, 1946) (operation and care) : Operation of lock and dam ----------------------------- $5, 872. 74 Ordinary maintenance and repairs (less rental) 225. ----------- 00 Improvement and reconstruction-------------------- 2, 475. 00 Emergencies -------------------------------------------- 50. 00 Total maintenance----------------------------------- 8, 622. 74 The additional sum of $6,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, as follows: Maintenance (July 1, 1946, to June 30, 1947) (operation and care) : Operation of lock and dam _------------------------------- $5, 800 Ordinary maintenance and repair (less rental)------------ 150 Emergencies ------------------------------ 50 Total maintenance ---------------- --------- 6, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945 ____------- __ $658, 075. 71 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 806, 210. 58 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1945--- ----- ------- 1, 464, 286. 29 299. 10 Gross total costs to June 30, 1945 ------------------- 1, 464, 585. 39 Net total expenditures 1, 464, 585. 39 Unexpended balance June 30, 1945 ------------------------- 5, 523. 64 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945 -------- 1, 470, 109. 03 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work . ..---------. - --- Cost of maintenance .. -.- -- ..--- $15, 981. 34 $5, 708.86 $6, 711.41 $12, 961. 99 $5, 398. 66 Total expended.. . . . -. . 15, 853 51 5, 881. 85 6, 797. 20 13, 236. 01 5,314. 72 Allotted . .. _ _.. .. . . 5,000. 00 7, 575. 00 7,000. 00 7, 850. 00 9,200.00 1340 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

KANSAS CITYS ON MISSOURI AND KANSAS RIVERS, MO. AND KANS. Location.-Kansas Citys on Missouri and Kansas Rivers in Missouri and Kansas. The municipal and industrial areas which require flood protection extend from the mouth of the Kansas River about 61/2 miles up and 91/2 miles down the Missouri River and 91/2 miles up the Kansas River. Existing project.-The general plan of improvement contem- plates protection works, consisting principally of levees and flood walls, for 13 separate project units which are designated as follows : Argentine; Armourdale; Central Industrial; Fairfax- Jersey Creek; North Kansas City; East Bottoms; channel im- provement, Kansas River; bridge and approach alterations, Kansas River; channel improvement, Missouri River; floodway improvement, Missouri River; Birmingham; Blue Valley In- dustrial; and Liberty Bend Cut-off. The Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, authorized the existing project at an estimated construction cost not to exceed $10,000,000; estimated cost of lands and damages, $8,000,000. The Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944, modified and extended the project in accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers in House Document No. 342, Seventy- eighth Congress, first session, at an estimated additional cost of $8,445,000. This project will be operated as part of the comprehensive plan for the Missouri River Basin and it is con- templated that, with reservoir control, substantially complete flood protection will be provided for the Kansas Citys. The units involve construction approximately as follows: Argentine unit.-The existing levees and flood walls of the Argentine district are of sufficient height to protect the district from the design flood. Between miles 8.2 and 6.91 near the center of the district, however, there is an indication of sand 1 Above mouth of Kansas River FLOOD CONTROL-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1353 boils during high river stages, and it is proposed to install necessary facilities to control this situation. Armourdale unit.-The earth levee along the left hank of the Kansas River from mile 6.7 to mile 2.82 is of sufficient height to provide protection from the design flood. The project provides for strengthening and repair of the existing flood wall along the left bank of the Kansas River from mile 2.8 to mile 1.32 and for raising a section 5,785 feet in length at the downstream end of this unit; for removal and replacement with a new concrete wall of 1,040 feet of existing concrete flood wall from mile 1.3 to mile 1.12; for construction of a concrete flood wall 440 feet in length on top of an existing levee from mile 1.1 to mile 1.02; for raising of 1,850 feet of existing levee from mile 1.0 to 0.72; for construction of 2,150 feet of new concrete flood wall between mile 0.7 and mile 0.32; of which 350 feet at the upstream end would replace an existing concrete flood wall. The downstream end of the new wall would connect with the southern terminus of the existing Fairfax district levee. Central Industrial unit.-Beginning at the south end of the Armour-Swift-Burlington bridge over the Missouri River, mile 376.9,1 the existing and proposed protection for the district extends upstream along the right bank of the Missouri River to the mouth of the Kansas River, mile 378.8,1 a distance of 1.9 miles, and thence upstream along the right bank of the Kansas River to mile 3.4,2 in the vicinity of the Seventh Street bridge, a total distance of 5.3 miles. Fairfax-Jersey Creek unit.-About 30,900 feet of earth levee 1,981 feet of concrete flood walls, and 32,100 feet of bank- protection works, extending along the right bank ofb the Missouri River from a point immediately above the Kansas City, Kans.. water and light plant (mile 385.31 downstream to the mouth cf the Kansas River, thence along the left bank of the Kanisas River to the vicinity of the intercity viaduct (mile 0 32) ; pumping plants; and appurtenant works. Subsequent to the construction of the above work, the elevation of the design flood has been raised due to a decrease in the width of the floodway, necessitating the raising of the Fairfax-Jersey Creek flood protection works. The earth levees would be raised by the addition of rolled-earth fill, and the concrete flood walls along Jersey Creek would he raised by widening the base and stem and increasing the height of the stem of each wall. North Kansas City unit.-Beginning at a point northwest of the Kansas City, Mo., municipal waterworks, the existing and proposed protection for the unit extends downstream along the left bank of the Missouri River for a distance of about 6.55 miles and opposite approximately Missouri River mile 375; thence north along the right bank of Rock Creek to the Wabash railroad right- of-way, a distance of about 0.8 mile; thence northwesterly along a drainage ditch to high ground northeast of the Kansas City, Mo., municipal waterworks, a distance of about 1.6 miles. The total length of the proposed system is 9 miles. 1 Above mouth of Missouri River. 2 Above mouth of Kansas River. 1354 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 East Bottoms unit.-Beginning at the south end of the Armour- Swift-Burlington bridge over the Missouri River, mile 376.9,' the existing and proposed protection for the district extends downstream along the right bank of the Missouri River to the mouth of the Big Blue River, thence southwesterly along the left bank of Big Blue River to high ground. Channel improvement, Kansas River, unit.-Bank-stabilization works along the right bank of the Kansas River from the Seventh Street bridge to the Kansas City Terminal railroad bridge (mile 3.50 to mile 2.492) ; excavation of a foreshore bar along the right hank of the Kansas River, extending from the Kansas City Southern railroad bridge (mile 0.842) to the mouth; and removal of major obstructions from the bed of the main channel of the Kansas River between the Argentine bridge (mile 5.132) and the mouth. Bridge and approach alterations,Kansas River unit.-In order to permit the free passage of drift during flood periods, it is con- templated that all bridges across the Kansas River between mile 5.13 and the mouth which do not now provide adequate floodway will be raised above the design flood profile. This would involve the permanent raising of five highway bridges and the Kansas City Terminal Railway bridge, and provision of facilities for the tem- porary raising during flood periods of five other railroad bridges. Channel improvement, Missouri River unit.-The work contem- plated under this unit consists of dredging of a foreshore bar along the left bank of the Missouri River in the vicinity of mile 377.5; and of dredging the left bank where it extends riverward of the adopted channel alinement in the vicinity of mile 374.0.1 In addi- tion, excavation of the abandoned overbank area between the North Kansas City levee and the present channel to approximately low-water elevation is contemplated. Replacement of the left-bank approach fills to the Armour-Swift-Burlington and Hannibal bridges by approach spans is provided in the plans and is necessi- tated by the widening of the Kansas City reach by setting back the North Kansas City levee and dredging the abandoned overbank area. Floodway improvement, Missouri River unit.-The work con- templated under this unit consists of removing brush and timber from the area riverward of the existing Birmingham drainage district levee along the left bank of the Missouri River between mile 370.0 and mile 363.0 and of removing brush from the area riverward of the proposed East Bottoms levee along the right bank between mile 373.5 and mile 367.8.1 Birmingham unit.-In order to provide protection to the Birm- ingham district, the.various upstream sections of the Birmingham levee, 13,530 feet in length, will be raised by the addition of rolled fill.

TOPEKA, KANSAS RIVER, KANS. Location.-This project is located on the right and left banks of the Kansas River at Topeka, Kans. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the raising and extending of existing levees and the construction of new levees and flood walls, consisting of the following features: 7,200 feet of earth levee, 2,016 feet of concrete flood wall. and 6.350 feet of bank-protection works, along the right bank of the Kansas River, extending from the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad bridge over Ward Creek to high ground upstream frcm the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad bridge; 1,662 feet of flood wall and 943 feet of levee around the municipal water- works; aout 5 120 feet of bank-protection works along the left bank of the Kansas River; 23,175 feet of levee and 700 feet of flood walls around North Topeka; and numerous appurtenant features. The project when completed will provide protection to North Topeka, South Topeka (between Ward Creek and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad shops). and the municipal waterworks, against a flood equivalent to that of 1903. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 22, 1936 (H. Dcc. No. 195, 73d Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost of construction, revised in 1940. is $1,056,000, and the estimated cost of lands and damages, $93.600. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. The con- ditions of local cooperation have been fully complied with except for the North Topeka unit. Local interests have furnished assur- ance that the litigation which has been pending relative to the North Topeka unit can he settled. The city of Topeka has con- tributed to the United States a net sum of $7.659.31 to defray the cost of incidental features of construction at the city water- works, desired by the city but not required for adequate flood protection. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was ap- proximately 69 percent c'mplete at the end of the fiscal year. The work accomplished consists of the removal of objectionable material and placing of 174 569 cubic yards of earth fill in an earth levee; construction of 2,016 linear feet of concrete flood wall. 6 421.4 linear feet of bank paving. 2 600 linear feet of waterworks protection, three protection enclosures at the water- works, one floodgate, nine sewer-outlet extensions, and appurte- nant features; and seeding of levees. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of the construction of the North Topeka unit. Commence- ment of this work was postponed indefinitely in February 1940 after a suit was brought against the city of Topeka and others to enjoin construction of the North Topeka flood-protection works. FLOOD CONTROL--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1361 Local interests have furnished assurance that the litigation will be settled in the near future and have requested that necessary work be accomplished to place the plans in readiness for initiation upon a return to normal conditions.

Condition at end of fiscal year.-The preparation of project plans was in process. However, this work has been temporarily deferred pending the completion of a report on the review of House Document No. 195, Seventy-third Congress, second session, and report submitted to Congress on March 18, 1938, on the Big Blue River, with a view to determining whether additional im- provements for flood control on the Big and Little Blue Rivers would be advisable. Total costs and expenditures to date for new work are $143,174.08 and $137,255.47, respectively. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance on June 30, 1945, $31,744.53 will be applied to accounts payable $5,918.61 and to covering costs incurred during the fiscal year 1946 for general office and field work in connection with maintaining contact with local interests and computation of data therefor, until such time as conditions will permit resumption of work on plans for con- struction of the project. The additional sum of $400,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 for the completion of plans and work preparatory to the initiation of construction.

MISSOURI RIVER, KANSAS CITY TO SIOUX.CITY Location.-The Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri River, which flows southeasterly 2,464.4 miles across or along seven States to the Mississippi River, 17 miles above St. Louis. The river is the boundary between the States of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. For description, see page 1149, Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects.-Underthe River and Harbor Act of August 14, 1876, the first regulation works were constructed at St. Joseph and Nebraska City, but a project for systematic river improve- ment was not adopted until August 2, 1882, modified by the River and Harbor Acts of July 5, 1884, September 19, 1890, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1893, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1175, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel of 9-foot depth and width not less than 300 feet, to be obtained by revetment of banks, construction of permeable dikes to contract and stabilize the waterway, cut-offs to eliminate long bends, closing of minor channels, removal of snags and dredging as required. Length of section under improvement (upper end of Quindaro Bend to Sioux City) is 375.3 miles. The ordinary fluctuation is about 14 feet and the extreme fluctuation about 38 feet. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1945, is $102,700,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The esti- mated cost of annual maintenance is $2,500,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 Jan. 21, 1927 Appropriation of $12,000,000 authorized for the H. Doc. No. 1120, 60th Cong., 2d sess. existing project.

Work done by private interests for the benefit of the public during the fiscal year 1945 was as follows: Amazonia Bend.-The Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Rail- road. Co. constructed approximately 800 linear feet of bank stabilization work consisting principally of willow mattress and stone bank paving along the left bank of the Missouri River about 12 miles above St. Joseph, Mo., in the vicinity of Missouri River mile 471.5 (1932 mileage) at an estimated cost of $50,000. RIVERS AND HARBORS-OMAHA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1375 Terminal facilities.-At Leavenworth, Kans., approximately 3,000 feet above the railroad bridge, there is a grain elevator owned by private interests. The facilities for loading grain onto barges are not connected with the elevator but can be readily connected and put into operation when required. At Brownville, Nebr., plans are under preparation and site purchased by Hart-Bartlett-Sturtevant Grain Co., Kansas City, Mo., for a grain elevator. The terminal will have highway and railway connections. At Nebraska City, Nebr., at approximate mile 579.6, the Nebraska City Dock Board has completed a 50,000-cubic-yard-fill for river-front improvement protected by stone riprap. The Western Elevator Co. of Kansas City, Mo., has in operation a million-bushel grain elevator. The terminal facilities are served by two railroads and paved highways and are open for general public use. At Plattsmouth, Nebr., approximately 1 mile above the railroad bridge, Cass County has completed construction of a concrete- floored dock (56 by 250 feet) and a warehouse of wood and cor- rugated-metal construction. Highway connections have been provided and railway connections and additional handling and storage, facilities are to be provided. At Omaha, Nebr., definite plans have been made for an all- purpose terminal at an estimated cost of $1,000,000 at approximate mile 632.3. Terminal facilities will include a steel-piling sea wall, dock house, crane house, platforms and a 300,000-bushel grain elevator and head house. The facilities will be served by 14 railroads and paved highways and will be open for general public use. At Omaha, Nebr., at approximate mile 629.1, the Omaha Steel Works has in operation ways for manufacturing and launching of floating equipment. The city of Omaha, Nebr., has completed a temporary loading platform at approximate mile 632.3, to serve until river traffic warrants additional facilities. The Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. has completed a temporary termi- nal, at approximate mile 640.6, with facilities for handling and storing petroleum products. At Blair, Nebr., at approximate mile 670.3, Peterson & Lytle of Blair, Nebr., has in operation ways for manufacturing and launching of floating equipment. At Blencoe, Iowa, a privately owned dock is being promoted by the Blencoe Farmers Elevator Co. It is planned to handle, chiefly, grain, lumber, and oil, and will be for use by cooperatives of western Iowa. At Sioux City, Iowa, tentative plans have been made to establish a dock area by means of a sheet-steel piling sea wall and a dredged fill at approximate mile 759.0. It is planned to construct a sheet- steel warehouse and appropriate platforms. The facilities will be served by both railway and highway. Promotion of terminals has been indicated at the following towns: Blair, Tekamah, and Decatur, Nebr.; Onawa, Whiting, and California Junction, Iowa. The facilities are considered adequate for existing needs. 1376 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work.-This work consisted of the construction by hired labor of one piece of revetment totaling 945 linear feet and the removal of 549 linear feet of old mattress and dike structure in connection with this revetment construction at a total cost of $41,203.82; incidental costs of $38.61 expended on acquisition of proceedings and related work in connection with the acquisition of land to provide rights- of-way for channel changes from Rulo Bend to Weavers Bend (estimated total acres required is 35), and the accomplishment of engineering, design, and surveys at a total cost of $767.03. The total cost of new work, all prosecuted with regular funds, was $42,009.46. In addition to completed works, there is in progress of con- struction by hired labor one length of revetment to total about 1,555 linear feet. Maintenance.-Work during the year with Government funds consisted of: Repair and replacement by contract of 5,738 linear feet of pile dikes, and 7,604 linear feet of revetment at a total cost of $280,546.66; the accomplishment by hired labor of repair and replacement of 540 linear feet of impermeable structures; 56,315 linear feet of revetment; 13,177 linear feet of pile dikes; construction of 7 pile structures totaling 2,226 linear feet, for protection of existing structures; 1,602 linear feet of bank pro- tection mattress to protect designed alinement; 2 rock filled dikes totaling 514 linear feet; 149 linear feet of accreted bank' line on the permanent alinement stabilized by the placing of cast paving; removal of 176 snags, at a total cost of $1,376,874.95. The cost of engineering design, and surveys in connection with hired labor maintenance work was $79,110.07. Other miscel- laneous costs, all charged to maintenance, were: Stream gaging for special studies and working data at a cost of $8,987.22; navigation aids at a cost of $2,854.89. The total cost of all maintenance, prosecuted with regular funds was $1,748,373.79. The total expenditures were $2,142,696.79, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The work between Kansas City, Mo. (upper end of Quindaro Bend), and Rulo, Nebr., is approxi- mately.Kpercnt-complete; between Rulo and Omaha, Nebr., it is approximately 94 percent complete; and between Omaha, Nebr., and Sioux City; Iowa, it is approximately 64 percent complete. The entire project was approximately 81 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. Kansas City, Mo., to Rulo, Nebr.-The majority of structures in this section that have not yet accomplished the purpose intended are only in fair condition. At reasonably high stages of the river during the navigation season a channel with a minimum depth of 6 feet and a minimum width of 200 feet is available throughout this section. Due to a period of high water, the controlling depth at the end of the fiscal year was approximately 6 feet. The practical draft at ordinary stages of the river is 51/2 feet. This section of the river has been used for commercial navigation since May 1939. The work remaining to be done in order to complete RIVERS AND HARBORS-OMAHA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1377 the existing project consists chiefly of the construction of additional dikes and revetment. Rulo to Omaha, Nebr.-Commercial navigation has existed in this section since May 1939. The channel was practically com- pleted except for the construction of several isolated revetments to permanently stabilize the designed alinement. At reasonable stages of the river during the navigation season, a channel with a minimum depth of 6 feet and a minimum width of 200 feet exists throughout this section except for a few crossings. The practical draft at ordinary stages of the river is 51/2 feet. Omaha, Nebr., to Sioux City, Iowa.-The high-water periods of 1942 set up the channel to the desired shape with the majority of the concave alinement virtually coinciding with the designed curvature. Because of the curtailment of new work, stabilization of the obtained project objective was unattainable. Subsequent high waters have accelerated the destructive erosion of unpro- tected concave banks, flanked and destroyed many existing installations, and have resulted in complete loss of alinement control in some sites with progressive loss of alinement threatened at additional sites through natural actions of an uncontrolled river reverting to its wild state. There now exists depths up to 51/2 feet during periods of high water but the controlling practical draft at ordinary navigable discharge is limited to 4 feet but with some sections at times limited to 31/2 feet. Under the existing project for systematic work on the 6-foot channel, the work accomplished includes 900,043 linear feet of revetment for permanently fixing the banks, 2,120,968 linear feet of pile dikes, 9,407 linear feet of rock dikes, 143,884 linear feet of abatis, 2,287 linear feet of jetties, recrowning 700 linear feet of an existing levee, 19,218 linear feet of retards for stabilization of channel widths, construction of five impermeable structures to close off auxiliary channels, construction of 48,237 linear feet of asphalt revetment, effecting three channel cut-offs and removal of 69,548,173 cubic yards of material dredged from the channel to obtain project depth and width. The total cost and expenditures on work under the existing project to June 30, 1945, is: Cost Expenditures New work Maintenance Total Regular funds $44,677, 246. 49 -........................ $7, 854,880. 95 $52, 532,127.44 $52, 878, 024. 57 Public Works funds ----------------- 29, 038, 236. 29 114, 180. 14 29, 152, 416. 43 29, 152, 416. 43 Emergency Relief funds_ .... - _..- - 9, 613, 073. 19 56, 644. 65 9, 669, 717. 84 9, 669, 717. 84 Total funds _______- .- -----.--- - 83, 328, 555. 97 8, 025, 705. 74 91, 354, 261. 71 91, 700, 158. 84 Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $4,488,412.62 of regular funds, accounts receivable of $55,794.92, and ad- vances for plant of $350 000. at the end of the fiscal year 1945, together with an expected allotment will be applied during the fiscal year 19.46, as follows: 672607--46-pt. 1, vol. 2-11 1378 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Through this section the river flows across the States of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, forming the northeastern boundary of Nebraska. Previous projects.-Projectswere adopted and modified by river and harbor acts as follows: August 14, 1876, above the mouth of the Yellowstone; June 18, 1878, Sioux City; March 3, 1879, Vermilion; and August 2, 1882, Sioux City to Fort Benton. Modifications of September 19, 1890, and August 18, 1894, ex- tended the improvement to Great Falls, then to Stubbs Ferry, Mont. (For further details see p. 1108 of Annual Report for 1927, p. 1894 of Annual Report for 1915, and p. 1184 of Annual Report for 1938.) Existing project.-This provides for the expenditure of from $75,000 to $150,000 yearly during the first 5 years of the project in the removal of snags and rocks from the channel and in bank protection at various locations between Sioux City, Iowa, and Fort Benton, Mont. Since the expiration of the 5-year limit, funds have been expended for snagging and maintenance of structuries. The length of section included in the projects is 1,441.4 miles and consists of two parts: Sioux City, Iowa, to Fort Peck Dam, Mont. (mile 1868.7), and Fort Peck Dam to Fort Benton, Mont. At Sioux City the ordinary fluctuation is about 10.4 feet, and the extreme fluctuation (freshet of 1892 from Floyd River) is about 25 feet. At Fort Benton the ordinary fluctuation is about 7.3 feet, and the extreme fluctuation about 19 feet. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 25, 1912 (H. Doc. No. 91, 62d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-See Annual Report for fiscal year 1942 (p. 1106). Terminal facilities.-The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance work was accomplished during the year at a cost of $2,343.59. The expenditures during the fiscal year were $2,261.92. Condition at end of fiscal year.-As cutting of the bank is less marked above Sioux City and is of little moment above the mouth of the Yellowstone River, demand for bank protection work is not so urgent as on the lower Missouri River. In 1878, rock dams and dikes were built between Fort Benton and Carroll, Mont., to concentrate the meager low-water flow, and the rapids were cleared of rocks and boulders but, lacking maintenance, the river has reverted for the most part to the previous state. Limited appropriations hold Government expenditures to meritorious cooperative projects, and a small amount of repair to existing works. From April to October, inclusive, drafts of 30 inches are prac- ticable to Pierre, 26 inches to the Yellowstone River, and 18 inches to the Fort Peck Dam. Depths which will accommodate large boats are available on the Fort Peck Reservoir and drafts of 22 inches are practicable from the reservoir to Fort Benton. 1382 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 The cost of new work under the existing project to June 30, 1945, was $516,484.77, and the cost of maintenance was $425,680.22, a total of $942,164.99. The expenditures were $942,068.32. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $2,873.26 at the end of the fiscal year will be applied to snagging and mainte- nance operations where required. No work is proposed during the fiscal year 1947.

CHERRY CREEK AND TRIBUTARIES, COLORADO Location.-Cherry Creek is a small tributary of the South Platte River. It has its source 11 miles south and east of Monu- ment, Colo., in El Paso County, flows generally north, and joins the South Platte River within the city limits of Denver. Existing project.-The Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941, approved the comprehensive plan for the improvement of 1434 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Cherry Creek and tributaries, Colorado; for flood control and other purposes in accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers in House Document No. 426, Seventy-sixth Congress, first session, and authorized $3,000,000 for the initiation and partial accomplishment of the project. The Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944, authorized the completion of the plan approved in the act of August 18, 1941 for Cherry Creek and tributaries, Colorado, at an estimated additional cost of $7,500,000. The plan of improvement provided for the construction of a res- ervoir on Cherry Creek at the site of the old Castlewood Dam and a second reservoir on the lower river at the Cherry Creek Reservoir site, No. 1, 6.75 miles above the city limits of Denver, to protect that city against any flood reasonably to be expected and to elimi- nate practically all further damages from Cherry Creek floods in the agricultural valley above Denver. Present plans provide for construction of the Cherry Creek Reservoir at an alternate site at the location of the existing Kenwood Dam at river mile 11.4 on Cherry Creek, and for deferment of construction of the Castle- wood Dam until such time as justified by the multiple purpose requirements of the upper Cherry Creek Basin. The Cherry Creek Dam and Reservoir at the Kenwood site provides reservoir storage capacity of 95,000 acre-feet below the spillway canal invert and surcharge storage of 136,400 acre-feet above this elevation. Initial plan of operation is for flood control only. The plan of operation in the ultimate development for multiple purpose use includes 10,000 acre-feet of dead storage for silting, 85,000 acre-feet for conservation and other uses, and surcharge storage capacity for flood-control purposes. The rolled-earth dam is 14,300 feet long, with a maximum height of 140 feet. The overflow spillway discharges through the right abutment into Tollgate Creek. The total estimated cost of the initial project for flood control only is $13,940,000 and of the ulti- mate multiple purpose project is $15,570,000, including lands and damages. The project will be operated as a part of the comprehensive plan for the Missouri River Basin. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preparation of the contract plans and specifications for the major features of the project was essentially completed at a total cost during the fiscal year of $92,367.43. Expenditures were $91,110.68. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Contract plans and specifica- tions are about 90 percent complete. Construction of the project has not been started. The total cost to June 30, 1945, was $326,097.12, all for new work; expenditures were $326,915.40. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance, $35,284.60, plus accounts receivable, $147.88, a total of $35,432.48 will be applied to accounts payable, $379.54, and to the completion of contract plans and specifications for the major features of the project dur- ing the fiscal year 1946.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-OHIO RIVER LOCKS AND DAMS 1439 OHIO RIVER For the actual construction of locks and dams and the operation and care of the completed structures the river is divided into four sections under the immediate supervision and direction of district engineers at Pittsburgh, Huntington, Cincinnati, and Louisville. The Pittsburgh section extends from the head of the river at Pittsburgh, Pa., to a point beween Captina Island and Powhatan Point, a distance of 109 miles, and includes Emsworth, Dashields, and Montgomery Island locks and dams, and locks and dams Nos. 7 to 13, inclusive; the Huntington section extends from mile 109 to mile 317.5, just below the mouth of Big Sandy River, Ky., a distance of 208.5 miles, and includes locks and dams Nos. 14 to 23, inclusive, Gallipolis locks and dam, and locks and dams Nos. 27 to 28; the Cincinnati section extends from mile 317.5 to mile 556.2 just above Madison, Ind., a distance of 238.7 miles, and in- cludes locks and dams Nos. 29 to 39, inclusive; the Louisville sec- tion extends from mile 556.2 to the mouth of the River, a distance of 424.8 miles, and includes locks and dam ,No. 41 (with the Louis- ville and Portland Canal) and locks and dams Nos. 43 to 53, inclusive. District engineers: At Pittsburgh, Pa., Col. Gilbert Van B. Wilkes, Corps of Engineers, to December 27, 1944, and Lt. Col. Charles M. Wellons, Corps of Engineers, acting district engineer, since that date; Huntington, W. Va., Lt. Col. Harry Pockras, Corps of Engineers; Cincinnati, Ohio, Lt. Col. Frederick A.

Division engineer: Col. C. L. Hall, Corps of Engineers. IMPROVEMENTS Navigation Page 1. Construction of locks and dams, Ohio River -------- 1439 2. Open-channel work, Ohio River 1446 NoTE.-Tributary navigation projects and all 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. Previousprojects.-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 harbors acts, as follows: Dam No. 6, September 19, 1890; dams Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 5, June 3, 1896; Nos. 13 and 18, March 3, 1899; Nos. 8, 11, 19, and 37, June 13, 1902; No. 26, March 2, 1907. For further details see page 1907 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1233 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the improvement of the entire river by the construction of locks and dams to provide a 1440 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 addi- tion an auxiliary lock 56 by 360 feet at Emsworth, Dashields, Mont- gomery, 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 $148,855,000, 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 re- placed by Gallipolis locks and dam which was authorized by the act of August 30, 1935, and constructed under the project for im- proving lower Kanawha River.

OPEN-CHANNEL WORK, OHIO RIVER Open-channel work on the Ohio River is in charge of the district engineer in whose district the work is located. For information as to the limits of the four districts on the Ohio River, as well as the district engineers in charge thereof, see page 1439. 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 improvement from the mouth of the Cache River to the mouth of the Ohio River is under the jurisdiction of the Mississippi River. Commission. Existing project.-Priorto the completion of the canalization 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, depending upon the difficulty of running the channel, of from 400 to 600 feet; also, to permit the movement of large coal tows, which movement occurred at stages of water exceeding 10 feet, it was found necessary to remove the points of projecting bars which formed at various locations along the river. The accomplishment of this purpose involved the 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-OHIO RIVER OPEN CHANNEL WORK 1447 found necessary to provide channel widths, varying according to the difficulty of running the channel, of from 500 to 750 feet. The accomplishment of this work not only involves dredging of bars and shoals, but the construction and maintenance of back channel dams, dikes, and bank revetments for stabilizing the channel, and the removal of snags and wrecks. Incidental to the direct improvement of the Ohio River is the construction and maintenance of ice piers as required for the pro- tection of river craft. The stage of extreme high water on the Ohio River varies from 46 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., to 80 feet at Cincinnati, Ohio, with 57.2 feet at Louisville, Ky. (head of falls), 53.8 feet at Evansville, Ind., and 59.5 feet at Cairo, Ill. (mouth of river). The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1933, is $18,696,000, 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.

Operation of snag boats on the Ohio River below the Pennsyl- vania State line was included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved Janu- ary 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 1448 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 sess.) However, since no serious overbank erosion has occurred since the bank revetment in 1933-34, reforestation is not consid- ered justifiable and no local cooperation is required. Terminal facilities.-See page 1443. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Dredging and snag- ging was performed where required to provide and maintain an adequate and dependable channel of the project depth of 9 feet at minimum pool level. The dikes and revetments were maintained and the routine work of maintaining navigation aids, making chan- nel studies, and hydrographic surveys was also performed as re- quired.

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 southwestward into Tennessee, passes Nashville, and returns northwestward to Kentucky, emptying into the Ohio near Smith- land, Ky. See United States Geological Survey base maps of Ten- nessee and Kentucky. Previous projects-Below Nashville.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1832, made the first appropriation for this section of the river, but the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, was the first to define a project for its improvement. The River and Harbor Act of September 19, 1890, adopted a special project for the improvement of the mouth of the river. For further details see page 1901 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1208 of Annual Report for 1938. Above Nashville.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of August 14, 1876, March 3, 1881, and July 5, 1884. For further details see page 1898 of Annual Report 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 1454 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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, Nash- ville, 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 32 to 64 feet at different localities. Fluctuations below ex- treme high water are so variable that it is impracticable to fix the stage commonly referred to on other streams as ordinary high water. The estimate of cost for new work for the section below Nash- ville, revised in 1935, was $4,832,448, excluding amounts expended on previous projects and $632,000, chargeable to maintenance work. The estimate of annual cost of operation and maintenance, made in 1909, is $40,000.

The total costs during the fiscal year were $390,304.81, of which $102,703.15 was for maintenance and $287,601.66 for operating and care. The expenditures were $395,234.91. Condition at end of fiscal year.-(a) Below Nashville.-All locks and dams under the existing project have been completed, afford- ing full project depth between the mouth and Nashville throughout the entire year. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1945. were $5,275,568.99, including $685,000 from Public Works funds. Of this amount $5,035,801.52 was for new work and $239,767.47 for maintenance. (b) Above Nashville.-Under the existing project, locks and dams Nos. 1 to 8, inclusive, and No. 21 have been completed. The project as a whole was about 40 percent complete. There remains to complete the project the construction of locks and dams Nos. 9 to 17, inclusive. For details of these locks and dams see tables under paragraph "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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1459 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 expenditures for maintenance have kept the chan- nel above Nashville fairly free from snags and surface obstruc- tions. The depth at extreme 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 pos- sible from January 1 to June 1. Four-foot navigation is usually possible from February 1 to May 1, but no period can be fixed dur- ing which it is reasonably certain. Navigation for vessels drawing over 4 feet is uncertain at all times. When the Celina gage reads 1 foot, 16 inch navigation is practicable, and for each additional foot of reading on this gage the navigable depth is increased 0.8 foot. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1945, were $3,977,358.14, of which $3,760,599.12 was for new work and $216,759.02 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 improvement of existing river and harbor works," was $2,805,238.89. The total costs under the existing project for the entire stream were $12,058,166.02, of which $8,796,400.64 was for new work, including $685,000 Public Works funds, $456,526.49 for mainte- nance, and $2,805,238.89 for operating and care. The total ex- penditures were $12,049,260.92. 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.

TENNESSEE RIVER, TENN., ALA., AND KY. Location.-The Tennessee River is formed by the junction of the French Broad and the Holston Rivers in eastern Tennessee, 4.4 miles above the Gay Street Bridge at Knoxville, flows southwest into northern Alabama, thence in a generally westerly course across north Alabama, to the northeast boundary of Mississippi, thence nearly due north across Tennessee and Kentucky, entering the Ohio River at Paducah, 652.1 miles from the junction of the French Broad and Holston Rivers. (See United States Geological Survey base map of the Tennessee River Basin.) Previous projects-(a) Above Chattanooga.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852, June 10, 1872, August 18, 1894, and July 25, 1912. (b) Chattanooga to Riverton.-Adopted by the River and Har- bor Acts of August 30, 1852, July 25, 1868, March 3, 1871, Sep- tember 19, 1890; acts of April 26, 1904, and January 7, 1905; and River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1907, June 25, 1910, July 25, 1912, July 27, 1916, and March 3, 1925. (c) Below Riverton. Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of July 25, 1868, September 19, 1890, August 18, 1894, March 3, 1899, and July 25, 1912. For further details see pages 1902 to 1906, Annual Report for 1915, pages 1190-1194, 1196-1216, and 1220-1222, Annual Report for 1929, and page 1216, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. No. 328, 71st Cong., 2d sess.), authorized the permanent improvement of the river for a navigable depth of 9 feet at low water from the mouth to Knoxville, Tenn., 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 1462 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 The estimated cost, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $74,709,000 for new work and $40,000 annually for the maintenance and operation of each lock and dam. The latest 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 construction performed by the Engineer Department thereunder was the construction of the lock at the 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 con- structed under the jurisdiction of the Engineer Department.

ARMY, 1945 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 preserva- tion and protection of harbors; provides for removal of unlawful structures, including wrecks; cooperates and reviews plans of in- dividuals, corporations-municipal or private-in the improve- ment of navigable waters at their own expense and risk; issues rules and regulations governing the opening and operation of drawbridges, the transportation and dumping of dredgings or other material into navigable waters; promulgates rules and regu- lations governing the use, administration, and navigation of nav- igable waters, including harbors thereof; compiles statistics of waterborne 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 pro- jected 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.-Public use river terminals with railroad connections, owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority, have been constructed at Decatur and Guntersville, Ala., and Chattanooga and Knoxville, Tenn. River terminals with railroad connections, municipally owned, have been constructed at Sheffield, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn. The other public terminals are mostly un- improved landings. At Danville, Tenn., there is a privately owned concrete warehouse and gasoline elevator with railroad incline and siding. At Johnsonville, Tenn., there is a privately owned frame warehouse and steam elevator with railroad siding. Railroad in- clines and sidings are available at Sheffield, Decatur, Hobbs Island, Guntersville, and Bridgeport, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn. Pri- vately owned terminals 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 fore- going there are many unimproved private landings along the river. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1465 Operation and results during fiscal year.-No new work was accomplished. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of removing 4,750 cubic yards of mud and gravel at the mouth of Sweetwater Creek in the canal above lock No. 1, and completion of the removal of miscellaneous snags, slides, and other obstructions from the navigable channel in the Kentucky pool from mile 22 to mile 207 above the mouth of the river. The cost of main- tenance was $12,153.48. Operation and care of locks and dams.-All locks were operated and lock appurtenances and stand-by plant were maintained. At Pickwick Landing lock, gate bumper timbers were installed, lock gates were spot-painted, gudgeon pins. on the upper lock gate were lubricated, storage of poiree trestles was rearranged, the floating boom was restored to place, and revision of anchorages was com- menced. At Hales Bar lock a mitering device was installed on the lower lock gate, and both upper and lower gates were repainted above pool level. The cost of operating and care was $323,642.61. The costs during the year were $335,796.09, of which $12,153.48 was for maintenance and $323,642.61 for operating and care. The expenditures were $347,696.96. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All locks and dams under the existing project have been completed, affording a navigable depth of 8.0 feet between the mouth and Knoxville, Tenn. (head of river) 650 miles. The table under the paragraph "Existing project" shows the year of completion, together with pertinent data con- cerning the 10 locks now in operation. 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 No- vember 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 follow- ing: Pickwick Landing lock, since September 1, 1937; Gunters- ville lock, since September 1, 1937; Chickamauga lock, since Octo- ber 15, 1937; Watts Bar lock, since March 3, 1941; Kentucky lock, since February 10, 1942; and Fort Loudoun lock, since October 10, 1943. The total costs of the work since the project was modified in 1930 were $7,037,629.90, of which $2,244,235.57 was for new work, $2,495,988.51 for maintenance, and $2,297,405.82 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $6,442,264.60. 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 improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and accounts receivable on June 30, 1945, plus an anticipated allotment will be applied as follows: 1466 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

MIDDLESBORO, CUMBERLAND RIVER BASIN, KY. Location.-This project is located at Middlesboro, Ky., on Yellow Creek, a tributary entering the Cumberland River about 660 miles above its mouth. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction 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, begin- ning 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 con- struction of the diversion channel, there was other incidental work, which included the installation of culverts and the relocation and rebuilding of roadways and bridges. The construction of this project will divert from the business district and from a large part of the residential section the flood waters which originate in that part of the basin lying north and west of the city, thus affording 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.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. FLOOD CONTROL-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1471 Operations and results during fiscal year.-No new work was accomplished. Final settlement was made with the city of Mid- dlesboro in connection with the acquisition and transfer to the United States of remaining flowage easements. The costs for new work were $8,886.24. Maintenance.-Levees, canals and appurtenances were main- tained by hired labor. The project was operated successfully throughout the year without appreciable flood damage to any of the structures. The costs of maintenance were $6,383.80. The expenditures were $15,597.87, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All construction work has been completed and substantially all rights-of-way and easements have been acquired by the city of Middlesboro and transferred to the United States. The flood control capacity of the project has not been appreciably taxed since- completion of the project. The total costs to June 30, 1945, were $827,140.80, of which $817,829.98, including $38,876.31 Emergency Relief Funds, was for new work and $9,310.82 for maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $827,124.37, including $38,876.31 from Emergency Relief funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1945, less a revocation of $5,586.33 of new work funds made in August 1945 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1945_____________________________-_ $16. 43 Maintenance: Repairs to diversion dam and pilot channel_ _- _-- $3, 000. 00 Maintenance of levees, canal, and appurtenant works 5, 089. 18 Stream gaging --------------------------------- 600. 00 Total, maintenance __________________________________ 8, 689.18 Total for all work_______________-________________ 8, 705. 61 The additional sum of $5,900 can be profitably expended during fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, for maintenance.

WOLF CREEK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, KY. Location.-The site of the Wolf Creek Dam is on the Cumber- land 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 construction of a dam for flood control and the development of power. It will have.a maximum height of 240 feet and an approxi- mate 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 nonoverflow section will extend to a concrete gravity spillway section located in the present stream channel. The spillway will be provided with 6 sluices for the control of floods and will be surmounted with 10 tainter crest gates. Adjoin- ing the spillway, there will be a concrete powerhouse intake struc- ture through which 6 penstocks will be constructed. A nonoverflow concrete gravity retaining section will provide a transition be- tween that section and the earth embankment which extends across the valley to the right abutment. At the top of the gates, the pool will have an area of 63,530 acres with a total storage of 6,089,000 acre-feet, of which 2,094,000 will be allocated to flood control and 2,142,000 to power. A minimum pool of 1,853,000 acre-feet will be available for recreational purposes aid as a wildlife refuge at all times. The drainage area controlled will be 5,81.0 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 Acts approved June 28, 1938, and August 18, 1941. The estimated cost of the project, including the initial 3-unit power installation, revised in 1942, is $52,000,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. FLOOD CONTROL--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1473 Operations and results during fiscal year.-In accordance with existing Federal policies on wartime construction, no construction was accomplished during the year.' Routine maintenance of plant, buildings and roads at the quarry site and within the construction area, including necessary protective painting, was accomplished under negotiated contract for preservation and care for the period during which construction and supplying of materials and equip- ment will be suspended. The costs for new work were $498,893.06, including $188,715.42 for hired labor. The expenditures were $235,347.51. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The contract for construction of the dam and appurtenant work was approximately 8 percent complete. Construction of right and left bank access roads has been completed. Preliminary work was 93 percent complete. The status of work under other contracts was as follows: Furnishing cement, 0.5 percent; power plant design, 85 percent; design and furnishing slide gates, 32 percent; and design and fabrication of intake gates and hoisting equipment, 29 percent. Survey of reservoir by hired labor has been completed, 731 square miles having been mapped. Detailed inventory appraisals and investigations have been completed. Approximately 1,927 acres have been acquired in fee simple and about 52 acres of flowage easements have been obtained. The total costs of June 30, 1945, were $7,193,040.17, of which $1,432,656.35 was for hired labor. The total expenditures were $7,434,969.57.

DALE HOLLOW RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, TENN. AND KY. Location.-Dale Hollow Dam is located on the Obey River, 7.3 miles above its confluence with the Cumberland River (mile 380.9) at Celina, Tenn. It is in Clay County, Tenn., and is about 80 miles northeast of Nashville, Tenn., 28 miles north of Cookeville, Tenn., 13 miles west of Byrdstown, Tenn., and 3 miles east of Celina, Tepn. Dale Hollow Reservoir extends about 51 miles up the main stream, 12 miles up the East Fork, and 6 miles up the West Fork of Obey River and lies within Cumberland and Clinton Counties, Ky., and Clay, Pickett, Overton, and Fentress Counties, Tenn. Existing project.-The project provides for the construction of a dam for flood control and the development of power. The dam has FLOOD CONTROL--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1475 a maximum height of 200 feet, a length of 1,717 feet, and is all con- crete. From the left abutment a 432-foot concrete nonoverflow section extends to a 400-foot concrete gravity spillway section located in the present stream chanel. The spillway is provided with 4 sluices for the control of floods and is surmounted with 6 tainter crest gates. Adjoining the spillway, there is a 255-foot concrete powerhouse intake structure through which 3 penstocks are constructed. A 630-foot nonoverflow concrete gravity retain- ing section extends from the spillway section to the right abut- ment. At the top of the gates, the pool will have an area of 30,990 acres with a total storage of 1,706,000 acre-feet of which 353,000 will be allocated to flood control and 496,000 to power. A minimum pool of 857,000 acre-feet always will be available for recreational purposes and as a wildlife refuge. The drainage area controlled is 935 square miles. The initial power installation will be 36,000 kilowatts in two units. The 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 the project, including the initial 2-unit power installation. revised in 1943, is $18,372,000 for construction and $3,979,000 for lands and damages, a total of $22,351,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-In accordance with existing Federal policies on wartime construction, the only new construction initiated during the year under contract was the superstructure of the Obey River Bridge located at the point where Tennessee Highway No. 42 crosses the reservoir. The dam was.operated and appurtenances were cared for. As the power generating facilities have not been installed, the reser- voir was operated primarily for flood control, with occasional re- leases for the benefit of navigation. Releases were made during about 50 percent of the year with a maximum discharge of 6,000 cubic feet per second. Normal pool was maintained at approxi- mate elevation 631 which is the proposed minimum power pool. Storage varied from a minimum of 848,000 acre-feet in September 1944 to a maximum of 1,187,000 acre-feet in March 1945. No releases were made during the prolonged flood period from Feb- ruary 17, 1945, to March 10, 1945, and the gain in storage amounted to 295,000 acre-feet. It is estimated that operation of the reservoir during this flood period reduced the flood crest of the Cumberland River at Celina, Tenn., by 4.5 feet and at Nashville, Tenn., by 2 feet. The costs were $413,475.61, of which $383,512.89 was for new work, and $29,962.72 for maintenance. The expenditures were $394,262.52. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the dam and appurtenances has been completed. All construction on the power- house has been suspended and the contract terminated. Mapping of reservoir and reservoir clearing by hired labor have been completed, 258 square miles having been mapped, and 20,203 acres of pool area, of which 6,989 acres were timbered, having been cleared. In addition to the above, 10,179 acres of 1476 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 pool area have been cleared by contract. Acquisition of land has been completed, except for several parcels for which condemnation proceedings have been instituted in Federal court. Approximately 52,450 acres have been acquired in fee simple and about 45 acres of flowage easements were obtained. The total costs to June 30, 1945, were $18,826,445.64, of which $18,777,081.86 was for new work and $49,363.78 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $18,900,647.41.

CENTER HILL RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, TENN. Location.-The site of the Center Hill Dam is on the Caney Fork River, 26.6 miles above its confluence with the Cumberland River (mile 309.2) at Carthage, Tenn. It is in De Kalb County, Tenn., and is about 55 miles east of Nashville, Tenn., 30 miles north of McMinnville, Tenn., 20 miles west of Cookeville, Tenn., and 14 miles southeast of Carthage, Tenn. The Center Hill Reservoir 1478 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction 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 abutment to a 400-foot concrete nonoverflow section. Adjoining the nonoverflow section there will be a 267-foot concrete powerhouse intake structure through which three penstocks will be constructed. A concrete gravity spillway section, located partly in the present stream channel, will extend 470 feet from the power- house intake. The spillway 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 sec- tion will provide a transition between the spillway section and the right abutment. In addition 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 23,060 acres with a total storage of 2,092,000 acre-feet of which 762,000 will be allocated to flood control and 492,000 to power. A minimum pool of 838,000 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. The initial power in- stallation will be 90,000 kilowatts in two units, with an ultimate installation of 135,000 kilowatts. The 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 the project, including the initial two-unit power installation, revised in 1942, is $25,400,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-In accordance with existing Federal policies on wartime construction, no construction was accomplished during the year except those items of work necessary for protection of work already accomplished. The costs were $347,206.72, of which $37,752.08 was for hired labor. The expenditures were $346,823.23. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The dam and appurtenances were approximately 40 percent complete. All construction has ceased, with the exception of those items necessary for the protec- tion and care of structures and equipment during suspension of contracts. Detailed inventory appraisals and investigations have been com- pleted. Approximately 800 acres were acquired in fee simple, and about 80 acres of easements were obtained. Mapping of reser- voir, surveys, explorations, and other preliminary works by hired labor have been completed, with the exception of road relocations. The total costs to June 30, 1945, were $8,336,923.60 for new work, of which $767,417.11 was for hired labor. The total expen- ditures were $8,065,508.58.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN., AND ROSSVILLE, GA. Location.-This project is located at Chattanooga, Tenn., and the adjoining suburb of Rossville, Ga., on both banks of the Ten- nessee River, about 464 miles above the mouth and 188 miles below the source of the river. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction 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 then running southwesterly to high ground at Stringers Ridge; (2) Citico Creek section, a levee 17,300 feet in length begin- ning 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 begin- ning 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, continu- ing 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 parallel 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) Ross- ville 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 FLOOD CONTROL--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1483 to the maximum flood of record, which reached a gage height of 57.9 feet. Necessary sewer and drainage structures, pumping plants, floodgates, ramps, and railroad and street modifications are also included in the project. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941 (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 5 for requirements. Local inter- ests have given informal assurances that the requirements of local cooperation will be complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Location surveys, geologic investigations, hydraulic studies, foundation explorations, and design layouts were under way in connection with preparation of plans. The costs, all for new work, were $60,941.07. The expenditures were $65,465.83. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Location surveys, geologic in- vestigations, hydrologic studies, and design work were under way. Total costs to June 30, 1945, all for new work, were $161,098.69. The total expenditures were $160,558.39. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1945, amounting to $196,441.61, will be applied to accounts payable June 30, 1945, in the amount of $540.30, and to continuation of investigations, surveys, design, and preparation of contract plans and specifications. Additional funds in the amount of $500,000 can be profitably expended on this project during the fiscal years 1946 and 1947 ($200,000 of this total in 1946), for the continuation of the prep- aration of plans and initiation of construction.

Location.-Green River rises in Casey County, Ky., flows in a northwesterly direction 370 miles, and empties into the Ohio River about 8 miles above Evansville, Ind. Barren River rises in Monroe County, Ky., flows in a 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 Mam- moth 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 of the improved portions is limited to 5.5 feet by the elevations of the existing lock miter sills. Fluctuations in stage vary considerably at the different locks. At lock No. 3, Green River, ordinary fluctuations due to high stages are from 12 to 15 feet above the pool level, and at lock No. 1, Barren River, from 7 to 10 feet above pool. The maximum stages of record are 34 feet above normal pool stage at lock No. 3, Green River, and 29 feet at lock No. 1, Barren River. These stages were obtained during the floods of 1937 and 1913, respectively.

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 without cost to the United States satisfactory areas for the dis- posal 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 pur- pose of the improvement of Nolin River. Local interests have been unable to obtain easements required for the removal of overhang- ing rock ledges at Whistle Mountain. Terminal facilities. There are six terminals on Green River, five of which are for handling petroleum products and one for un- loading logs. On Barren River there are four terminals, two of which are petroleum terminals, one is for transfer of asphalt from barge to railroad and the other is the public landing at Bowling Green, Ky. The only terminal on Nolin River consists of one con- veyor for loading asphalt at Kyrock, Ky. There are no terminals on Bear Creek. These facilities are considered adequate for exist- ing 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 $64,971.95, and the maintenance of the channels in the pools of the dams at a cost of $43,836.03, a total of $108,807.98. The expenditures were $109,758.85. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The canalization system on Green and Barren Rivers is in only fair condition, except Lock No. 1, Barren River and Lock and Dam No. 5, Green River, which are RlVEtRS AND HARBORS-=LOUISVILLE, IY., DISTRICT 1491 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.

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 ob- structions and for the construction of a lock and dam to carry slack water to Hartford, Ky. The new work provided for having been completed, the project now contemplates the maintenance of the lock and dam and keeping the river channel free from the snags and other obstructions to navigation. At the lock the ordinary fluctuations due to floods vary from 6 to 10 feet above pool level. During the flood of 1937 a stage of about 26 feet above pool stage was reached. The location and principal dimensions, etc., of the lock are as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS--LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1493 Name: Lock No. 1, Rough River.

Terminal facilities.-There are a few unimproved private land- ings 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 $2,392.61 for main- tenance. The expenditures were $2,457.61. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1899. At the end of the year the lock and dam were in poor condition and a slack-water channel was available from the mouth to Hartford, Ky. for boats not exceeding a 3-foot draft. The costs to the end of the fiscal year were $105,500.00 for new work and $25,572.72 for operating and care, a total of $131,072.72. The expenditures were $131,072.72. 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 1494 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

GILL TOWNSHIP LEVEE UNIT, WABASH RIVER, IND.... Location.-The Gill Township levee unit is located in Sullivan County, Ind., on the east bank of the Wabash River, 152 to 162 miles above the mouth. FLOOD CONTROL--LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1497 Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for rais- ing and enlarging the existing earth levee extending from high ground on the right bank of the Busseron Creek, 2.2 miles east of the Wabash River, thence along that bank to the confluence of Busseron Creek and the Wabash River, thence upstream along the left bank of the Wabash River to the Illinois Central Railroad bridge at Riverton, a distance of 50,126 feet; and a riverside enlargement along the upstream side of the Illinois Central Rail- road embankment from the bridge at Riverton to high ground at Merom station, a distance of 9,790 feet. Two pumping plants for the disposal of interior drainage, and appurtenant drainage struc- tures are included in the plan of improvement. The project will provide protection for approximately 12,000 acres of overflow land, the village of Riverton, and the waterworks for the town of Sullivan, Ind. One foot freeboard above a flood equal to the maximum flood of record, which occurred in 1913, will be provided. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1943, is $577,000 for construction and $18,000 for lands and damages. The latest pub- lished map is contained in House Document No. 100, Seventy-third Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations during fiscal year consisted of preservation and repair prior to turning over to local interests; observation of high water seepage; surveys and studies of completed drainage and pumping installations; and preparation of plans and specifications for strengthening certain portions of the levee. The levee withstood several minor flood peaks during the year and prevented a small amount of crop loss. Local interests performed routine maintenance and operated the pumping plants during these flood periods. The costs during the fiscal year were $17,122.69 from regular funds for new work. The expenditures were $17,248.96. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was substantially complete except for strengthening certain portions of the levee where weaknesses were revealed during the flood of May 1943. The preparation of plans for strengthening the levee was prac- tically complete at the end of the fiscal year. The work remaining to be done consists of the completion of strengthening certain portions of the existing levee; continuation of data collection and studies of completed drainage and pumping installations; preservation and repair prior to turning over to local interests; and the formal assignment of the project to local interests for maintenance and operation. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $471,300.39 from regular funds for new work., The expenditures were $470,584.28. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1945, amounting to $88,615.97, plus an amount of $2.26 due from other projects, a total of $88,618.23, will be applied as follows: 1498 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a system of earth levees consisting of the following features: Section I, approximately 16.2 miles in length, extending upstream from high ground at the Claypole Hills along the left bank of the Wabash River to a point approximately 3 miles above the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad bridge across the Wabash River to St. Francisville, Ill.; section II, approx- imately 5.0 miles in length, extending from the upstream end of section I along the left bank of the Wabash River to high ground near the southwest city limits of Vincennes, Ind.; section III, ap- proximately 10.1 miles in length, extending upstream along the right bank of the White River from high ground at Claypole Hills to the downstream end of the Dicksburgh Hills and from the up- stream end of the Dicksburgh Hills to the right bank of the Deshee River diversion channel at its confluence with White River; section IV, approximately 4.6 miles in length, extending along the right bank of the Deshee River diversion channel from the upstream end of section III to the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad embank- ment north of the Deshee River diversion channel bridge; section V, approximately 1.2 miles in length, extending from the upstream end of section IV along the north bank of the Deshee River to high ground near the Decker Road; one new pumping plant for the dis- posal of interior drainage; and appurtenant drainage structures. The project will provide protection for approximately 50,000 acres of overflow land, and the villages of Zigville, St. Thomas, Brevoorts, and Cathlinette Settlement against agricultural season floods. Flood stages equal to or in excess of the established pro- tection grade may be expected to occur on an average of seven times in each 100 year period. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1945, is $1,331,900 for construction and $124,000 for lands and damages. The latest published 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 observation of high water seepage; preparation of plans and specifications for strengthening certain portions of the levee; and preservation and repair prior to turning over to local interests. The levee prevented flood waters from entering the district during several minor flood peaks, the highest of which occurred in June 1945, and prevented the inundation of 27,500 acres of crop land. Local interests performed routine main- tenance and operated the pumping plants during the flood period. The costs during the fiscal year were $14,578.20 from regular funds for new work. The expenditures. were $15,689.33. 1500 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Conditionat end of fiscal year.-At the end of the fiscal year, the levee and its appurtenant structures were substantially complete except for replacement of one old drainage structure and the strengthening of portions of the completed levee. The prepara- tion of plans for strengthening the levee was practically complete at the end of the fiscal year. The work remaining to be done consists of the replacement of one obsolete drainage structure; strengthening of portions of the existing levee; preservation and repair prior to turning over to local interests, and the formal assignment of the project to local interests for maintenance and operation. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $886,679.42 from regular funds for new work. The expenditures were $885,- 715.91. Proposed operations.

MOUNDS AND MOUND CITY, OHIO RIVER BASIN, ILL. Location.-This project is located in Pulaski County, Ill., on the right bank of the Ohio River about 8 miles above the mouth. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a system of levees and concrete flood walls and channel diversion, consisting of the following features: The Ohio River section, including 4,860 feet of new earth levee, 20,120 feet of levee enlargement, and 785 feet of concrete wall, extending from high ground about 3 miles north of Mound City along the riverside of State Highway No. 37 and the right bank of the Ohio River to a point about 2,000 feet northwest of the mouth of Cache River; the Cache River diversion, section 1, including the excavation of 3,890 feet of channel and the construction of 4,830 feet of new earth levee, and section 2, including the excavation of 1,370 feet of channel and the construction of 600 feet of new earth levee, both sections of the channel to extend from the abandoned Illinois FLOOD CONTROL--LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1527 Central Railroad bridge location over the Cache River near Cache, Ill., to the Mississippi River near the Beechridge gage, and both sections of the new earth levee to extend from high ground just east of the upstream end of the diversion channel to the northwest corner of the existing Cairo drainage district levee. Section 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 district 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 freeboard 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 approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1945, is $1,758,400 for construction and $495,100 for lands and damages, of which $485,800 will be borne by the United States. Local cooperation.-Provisionsof 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 on June 7, 1940 and July 25, 1940. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations during the fiscal year consisted of the conduct of negotiations and con- demnations for rights-of-way necessary for diversion; continua- tion of work on plans and specifications for deferred work, and preservation and repair prior to turning over to local interests for maintenance. The flood of March 1945 necessitated building a temporary mud box levee 60 feet long to prevent entrance of flood- waters into the protected zone. The costs during the fiscal year were $23,486.18 from regular funds for new work. The expendi- tures were $24,556.08. Condition at end of fiscal year.-At the end of the fiscal year the construction of the Ohio River section was complete; contract construction of Cache River diversion, unit I, was terminated when 46 percent complete; rights-of-way for the Cache River diversion were in possession of the United States; contracts were in effect for construction of bridges and relocations, and plans and speci- fications for the remaining features of work were well advanced. Work under all contracts requiring the use of critical material in construction has been deferred for the duration of the war emer- gency. The work remaining to be done consists of the completion of plans and specifications, completion of construction of unit I of the Cache River diversion, the construction of bridges and relocation for the Cache River diversion, the construction of unit II of Cache River diversion and pumping plants, preservation and repair prior 1528 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 to turning over to local interests and the formal assignment of the project to local interests for maintenance and operation. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $706,953.67 from regular funds for new work. The expenditures were $706,980.46.

Location.-The Kentucky River is formed by the confluence of its north and middle forks about 4 miles east of the town of Beatty- ville 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 672607-46-pt. 1, vol. 2-21 1538 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 River, slack-water navigation of 6 feet minimum depth from the Ohio River to points on the three forks a short distance above Beattyville, Ky. The length of the 6-foot depth project on the main stem of the Kentucky River is 258.6 miles to the confluence of the middle and north forks. The river frequently rises to a height of 35 feet or more. Extreme flood height at lock No. 1 due to back- water 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 height of floods exceed 40 feet. All flood heights are referred to upper-pool gages. The original estimate of cost, which contemplated the rehabili- tation 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 opera- tion 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 (Annual Report 1879, p. 1398). Operation and care of the locks and dams were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the pro- visions of the Permanent Appropriation Repeal Act, approved June 26, 1934. No project map of the river has been published.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--CINCINNATI, OHIO, DISTRICT 1539 Terminal facilities.-Practicallyno terminal facilities exist for general 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 con- veyor 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 dams due to high water. Sufficient dredging was done through bars in the channel and deposits 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 flash boards 12 inches high on the concrete crests of dams Nos. 12 and 13 as partial replacements for 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. 3, repairs to upper lock gates; lock No. 8, repairs to lower miter sill foundation; lock No. 9, repairs to upper guide wall and extension. The cost of maintenance work was $173,709.48, of which $40,011.98 was for channel maintenance and $133,697.50 was for operation and care. The total expenditures for the year were $193,480.38. 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 com- pletion of the various locks and dams is given in the table in the paragraph "Existing project." The limestone walls at lock Nos. 1 to 6, inclusive, and at lock No. 8, are wearing away by erosion. Spalling of the walls at lock 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 lock 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 re- maining locks and dams, Nos. 9 to 14, inclusive, are of concrete construction and the masonry is generally in good condition, except for considerable spalling of the walls at lock No. 10. Lock 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 lock Nos. 11 and 12 where the concrete quoins, gate valves, timbers, and miter timbers are in poor condition. The concrete guide and guard walls and piers at the locks are mostly 1540 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 founded on stone-filled timber cribs and are generally in poor con- dition. 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 $5,852,633.09, of which $4,176,749.05 was for new work and $444,449.80 for maintenance and $1,231,434.24 for operating and care. The expenditures were $5,842,062.57. 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 and accounts receivable on June 30, 1945, plus an anticipated allotment will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1945 ----------------- ___ $10, 570. 52 Maintenance: Channel dredging--------------------- 73, 000. 00 Maintenance (operating and care of locks and dams) : Operation---------------------------- $112, 518. 56 Ordinary maintenance and repairs --....... 30, 000. 00 Improvement and reconstruction ----------- 33, 900. 00 176, 418. 56 Total for all work _ _______________________________ 259, 989. 08 The additional sum of $213,250 can he profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, as follows: Maintenance: Channel dredging- $54, 750 Maintenance (operating and care of locks and dams) : Operation ------------------------------------ $103, 500 Ordinary maintenance and repairs ---------------- 30, 000 Improvement and reconstruction 25, 000 158, 500 Total for all work ___ 213, 250 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945 ______-________________ $4, 176, 749. 05 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 --------------------- 8, 081, 255. 82 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 12, 258, 004. 87 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1945 --------------------- 10, 570. 52 Net total expenditures --------------------------- 12, 247, 434. 35 Unexpended balance June 30, 1945 ______________________ 160, 909. 75 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945--------- 12, 408, 344. 10 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work Cost of maintenance ........... $153,546.61 $194,342.-13 $225, 309. 07 $230, 228. 64 $173, 709.48 - '-------I ___________________----- I--.... -.-- Total expended 152, 841. 08 175,010.65 218, 545. 15 227, 397. 94 252, I0-86, 400. 00 I 193, 480. 38 Allotted _ 252,100.00 1 295,500.00 105, 000. 00 -86,400. 00 315, 300.00 RIVERS AND HARBORS-CINCINNATI, OHIO, DISTRICT 1541 Balance unexpended July 1, 1944 --------------------------_ $39, 090. 13 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act approved June 26, 1944__ $174, 000. 00 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act approved Mar. 31, 1945__ 141, 300. 00 315, 300. 00 Amount to be accounted for __-------------------_ 354, 390. 13 Gross amount expended ----------------- $193, 535. 88 Less: Reimbursements collected $3. 50 Receipts from sales ----------- 52. 00 55. 50 193, 480. 38 Balance unexpended June 30, 1945 ----------------- 160, 909. 75 Outstanding liabilities June 30, 1945--------------------- 11, 329. 08 Balance available June 30, 1945 1------------------- 149, 580. 67 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1947 for maintenance ---------- ----- 213, 250. 00 1 Exclusive of available funds. 4.

DREDGING UNDER AUTHORITY OF SECTION 3 OF RIVER AND HARBOR ACT APPROVED MARCH 2, 1945 Section 3 of the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, authorized an allotment of not to exceed $300,000 for any one fiscal year for improvement of rivers and harbors, for removing snags and other debris, and for protecting, clearing, and straightening channels in navigable harbors and navigable streams and tribu- taries thereof, when such work is advisable in the interest of navigation or flood control. No allotment was made nor work performed during the fiscal year. An allotment of $5,000, made in August 1945, will be applied to dredging to provide a temporary channel in the Scioto River prior to the time work on the project "Scioto River at Portsmouth, Ohio," adopted in section 2 of the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, can be carried to completion. This work will be accomplished by hired labor. 6. EXAMINATIONS, SURVEYS AND CONTINGENCIES (GENERAL) The cost of the work during the year amounted to $64,226.18 and the expenditures were $62,371. The unexpended balance on June 30, 1945, amounting to $222,252.87, will be applied as needed dur- ing the fiscal year 1946 to payment of expenses to be incurred under this heading. The additional sum of $52,000 can be profit- ably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947.

SALYERSVILLE, LICKING RIVER, KY. Location.-The project is located on the right bank of the Licking River, 275 miles above its confluence with the Ohio River, opposite Cincinnati, Ohio, in Magoffin County, Ky. Existing project.-The project provides for the construction of a levee along the right bank of State Road Fork (a tributary of the Licking River) and the Licking River, together with a pumping plant to dispose of internal drainage. The project will protect the main portion of the town against floods equal in magnitude to that of the February 1939 flood (maximum of record) with a 3-foot freeboard. The works begin at high ground near the upstream end of town and extend to the right bank of State Road Fork, curve downstream 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 in- volves the construction of about 4,700 linear feet of earth levee and appurtenant works, together with pumping facilities to dis- pose of internal drainage. Ramps will be provided to carry exist- ing highways over the protective works. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941. (See H. Doc. No. 261, 77th Cong., 1st sess., which contains the latest published map.) The estimated cost of new work is $174,000 for construction and $12,000 for rights-of-way and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. Assurances have not as yet been received. 1558 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Operations and results during the fiscal year.-Preliminary engineering work was in progress for a portion of the year; pre- liminary plans being nearly completed. The work was accom- plished by hired labor. The cost of the new work during the year was $2,881.52 from regular funds and the expenditure was $2,863.78 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Engineering work on the proj- ect was approximately 35 percent complete at the end of the year. The total cost of the existing project at the end of the year was $5,104.75 from regular funds, and the total expenditure was $5,096.90. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1945, $29,903.10 minus the amounts of $15,000 revoked in August 1945 and $8,000 revoked in September 1945, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable ----------------------------------- $7. 85 New work: Preparation of detailed report, hired labor from Sept. 1, 1945, to June 30, 1946 ----------------------------- 6, 895. 25 Total for all work --- ----- __________ 6, 903. 10 No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947.

FLOOD CONTROL-CINCINNATI, OHIO, DISTRICT 1559 15. EMERGENCY FLOOD CONTROL WORK UNDER AUTHORITY OF PUBLIC LAW NO. 75, SEVENTY-NINTH CONGRESS Because of heavy demands for emergency work to flood control structures damaged by the floods which occurred in the spring of 1943, 1944, and 1945, Congress, in the Act approved June 5, 1945, authorized the sum of $12,000,000 to be appropriated as an emer- gency 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 have been threatened or destroyed by recent floods or which may be threatened or destroyed by later floods and for completion of work begun under the Acts entitled "An Act to provide for Emergency flood control work made necessary by recent floods and for other purposes" approved respectively July 12, 1943, and May 29, 1944; provided, that pending the appropria- tion of said sum the Secretary of War may allot from existing flood control appropriations such sums as may be necessary for the immediate prosecution of the work herein authorized, such appropriations to be reimbursed from the appropriation herein authorized when made. Operations during the fiscal year pursuant to the Act approved June 5, 1945, consisted primarily of emergency flood operations at Cincinnati, Ohio, and Portsmouth, Ohio. This work consisted of the construction of temporary; dikes and sand bag levees, which were extensions to the partially completed protection works at these cities, for the purpose of providing protection to a major portion of these cities during the flood of March 1945. No funds were allotted to this project to the end of the fiscal year. The allotment of $78,000 made in July 1945 will be used for reimbursement of the amounts expended for flood fighting and emergency repair work during the fiscal year 1945.

MUSKINGUM RIVER, OHIO Location.-The Muskingum River, 112.45 miles in length, and lying entirely in the State of Ohio, is formed by the junction of the Walhonding and Tuscarawas Rivers at Coshocton, Ohio, flows in a southerly direction and empties into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. 1564 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Existing project.-This authorized the taking over, restoration, maintenance, and operation of the State works and plant to pro- vide slack-water navigation between lock No. 1, at Marietta, Ohio, and Dresden, Ohio, a distance of 92.85 miles. Navigation is af- forded by 11 locks and dams and 4 short lateral canals. The max- imum 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 distance of 0.25 mile, is provided by dam No. 18, Ohio River, and by dredging. The original estimate of cost of restoring the.dams taken over from the State of Ohio was $200,000. To this was added later the construction of a new lock and dam No. 11, at a cost of about $143,000, the repair and extension of a levee at dam No. 10, and some minor work, the net total expended from specific appropria- tions having been $301,911.53. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 1937, is $99,500. The construction of a new lock No. 1 was done in connection with the construction of an ice harbor as part of the Ohio River im- provement and was not a part of this project. Operating and care of the locks and dams were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Re- peal Act approved June 26, 1934. An index map of Muskingum River is printed in House Document No. 251, Seventy-eighth Con- gress, first session.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are numerous public and private landings, generally unimproved, at points accessible to the public highways, 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 dock, located at mile 74.7, for loading coal from motor trucks to barges was in operation. Coal shipped from these docks is unloaded at a slip situated at mile 67.7.

C Hl 1566 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Two yards, principally equipped for unloading sand and gravel, are situated at miles 0.2 and 76.4, respectively. Numerous land- ings, not equipped, are used to stock pile sand and gravel for State and county roads. Two private terminals for handling petroleum products exist on the river. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand 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 them in a serv- iceable condition. Sufficient dredging was done in the approaches and chambers of all locks and in the pool of lock and dam No. 8 to permit the passage of commercial tows. Navigation was sus- pended at lock No. 9 from March 6 to 9 because of high water. The cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $88,897.23, of which $10,360.69 was for channel maintenance and $78,536.54 for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $84,955.81. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The locks and dams are in fair condition. The available depth for navigation is 4.5 feet. For details of locks and dams see table under paragraph "Existing project." The total cost under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $1,201,941.51, of which $301,911.53 was for new work and $900,029.98 for maintenance, including $769,399.96 for operation and care of locks and dams.

MUSKINGUM RIVER RESERVOIRS, OHIO Location.-The Muskingum River lies in southeastern Ohio and, with its tributaries, drains approximately 8,000 square miles. Its headwaters rise about 25 miles south of Lake Erie and it flows into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project.-Under the provisions of the National Indus- trial Recovery Act the Public Works Administration made an allot- ment 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-chan- nel improvement of the Tuscarawas River at Massillon, Ohio. 1580 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 authorized February 8, 1935 (amended official plan approved by the Chief of Engineers May 16, 1935). An additional amendment of the official plan, providing for a change in the right-of-way of the relocated Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in the Bolivar Reservoir, was approved by the Chief of Engineers August 19, 1936, and on May 13, 1937, the conservancy court further approved the elimina- tion of stream-channel improvement of the Tuscarawas River at Massillon, Ohio, from the official plan (approved by the Chief of Engineers, July 9, 1937). A further amendment of the official plan to provide for the elimination of the Sandyville levee was approved by the Chief of Engineers February 2, 1938. Additional allotments of $3,500,000 and $1,600,000 were made on February 13, 1936, and July 23, 1937, respectively, by the Public Works Ad- ministration, to cover the increased costs of the reservoirs and local protective 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 construction of the reservoirs and local protective works. The Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, authorized and directed the Secretary of War to reimburse the Muskingum Con- servancy District in Ohio a sum not to exceed the actual expendi- tures made by it in acquiring lands, easements, and rights-ofway for reservoirs in the Muskingum River Valley, but such reimburse- ments shall not exceed $4,500,000, nor include any expenditures for lands, easements, and rights-of-way heretofore or hereafter purchased from said district by the United States. The Flood Control Act approved August 11, 1939, contained the provision that the Muskingum River Valley dams and reservoirs as set forth in the official plan of the Muskingum Watershed Con- servancy District shall be included in the flood-control plan for the Ohio River Basin authorized in section 4 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, and that the provisions of section 2 of the latter act shall apply to those dams and reservoirs. The total estimated cost of the project to the Government, ex- cluding the cost to the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy Dis- trict, is $36,090,000, of which $16,296,000 is for construction and $19,794,000 for lands and damages. The project includes the construction of 14 reservoirs, the principal features of which are as follows: Muskingum River Reservoirs Reservoir Estimated cost Elevations M. S. L.

BLUESTONE RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, W. VA. Location.-On New. River, W. Va., and Va., about 2.5 miles above Hinton, W. Va., and 1 mile above the confluence of the New and Greenbrier Rivers. Existing project.-,The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a concrete gravity dam having a maximum height of 165 feet and an over-all length of 2,061.5 feet, consisting of 790 feet of spillway section, 330 feet of powerhouse intake structure and 941.5 feet of nonoverflow sections and abutments, and the con- struction of a powerhouse providing for the initial installation of two 30,000-kilowatt units and the ultimate installation of six 30,000-kilowatt units. The reservoir created, extending approx- imately 36 miles upstream from the dam and providing for the gross storage of 609,400 acre-feet, will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system for the protection of the New, Kanawha, and Ohio Valleys generally and for the development of power. The estimated cost of new work including the initial power installation of two units is $26,050,000, revised in 1942. The exist- ing project was authorized by the Flood Control Acts approved June 22, 1936, and June 28, 1938. Prior to the foregoing authori- zations under provisions of Executive Order No. 7183A, dated September 12, 1935, which authorized the construction of a res- ervoir dam on New River for the reduction of flood heights in the Kanawha and Ohio Valleys, and for the development of power, surveys, foundation explorations, clearing of reservoir area, de- sign of dam, and the acquisition of land were undertaken. The sum of $543,960.27 from emergency relief funds was allotted for initiating this work. For further details, see page 1453 of the Annual Report for 1939. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preparationof a supplemental agreement to the contract for construction of the dam covering suspension of the work was completed and approved 672607-46- pt. 1, vol. 2--24 1586 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 by higher authority with minor modifications. Plans and specifi- cations for construction of the powerhouse and switchyard were completed. Preparation of a supplemental project report con- templating elimination of power installation at the project was initiated. Acquisition of land affected by the incomplete struc- ture was completed. The cost of new work during the year was $224,643.76. The expenditures were $256,414.18. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work under the contract for construction of the dam has been suspended for the duration of the war. All contracts for material and equipment for the project have been either suspended or terminated to conform with the order for suspension of work on the project. Plans and specifica- tions for construction of the dam and powerhouse are complete. Preparation of plans and specifications for items of equipment have been suspended, with plans and specifications for the sluice gates, conduit liners, hydraulic turbines, turbine governing equip- ment, generators, transformers and circuit breakers, and plans for the sump pumps and motors and the intake gates and hoists being complete. Acquisition of those tracts affected by the incomplete structure is complete and further acquisition has been deferred for the duration of the war. One highway has been relocated by the owner under agreement. Construction work on the dam is about 38 percent complete and on the entire project is about 28 percent complete. The total cost of new work to the end of the fiscal year was $5,764,548.77. The expenditures were $5,390,263.94. In addition, the sum of $543,960.27 was expended from Emergency Relief funds (act of April 8, 1935) under the provisions of Executive Order No. 7183A, dated September 12, 1935.

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, con- structing complementary levees. pumping stations and appur- tenances, 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 chan- nel 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 constructing four railroad bridges, the substructure of an additional railroad bridge, and replacing one highway bridge, (3) constructing the superstructure of the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge across the Tuscarawas River, (4) FLOOD CONTROL-HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1591 section 2, widening and deepening the present channel for a dis- tance 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 recon- struction 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 max- imum of record. The existing project was selected for construc- tion 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 additional construction and alterations beyond the scope of the authorized Federal project. These funds are being used to defray part of the construction cost of concrete pressure conduits for East Sippo and Wetmore Creeks, which replace pumping capacity that is otherwise required; and part of the construction cost of two viaducts which have been substituted for three low-level bridges required in connection with the flood-control project. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Work under the con- tract for preparation of plans and specifications for the pumping stations was completed. However, a review of the basic design criteria originally used for design of the stations, indicated the desirability of further study which resulted in preparation of a supplemental drainage report for the project during the year. Studies of proposed revisions to the stations to conform with the supplemental drainage report were initiated. Preparation of "as- built" drawings for section I of the project was completed and revision to the plans and specifications for section II to incorporate changes resulting from completion of section I was begun. A small amount of work under agreements with railroad companies and in connection with land acquisition was performed to carry these items to the point where they can be suspended for the duration of the war. The cost of new work during the year was $49,730.99. The expenditures were $66,187.90. Condition at end of fiscal year.-At the end of the fiscal year the preparation of all detailed plans and specifications for the project was complete except for those for the pumping stations, which require revision to conform with a supplemental drainage report submitted during the year. The construction of two pressure con- duits and of section I of the project is complete. No field work was accomplished on the superstructure of the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge prior to suspension of the contract work; however, the sub- structure for the bridge was constructed under the contract for 1592 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

FLOOD CONTROL-HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1599 Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The hydroelectric power and flood-control studies of the Gauley and Elk River Basins were continued and the report practically completed this fiscal year for the purpose of revising and enlarging upon the prelimi- nary plans for Summersville Reservoir, W. Va., and Sutton Reser- voir, W. Va. Studies of proposed revisions to the Sutton Reservoir project to conform with the above report were initiated and the previous survey for relocation of the railroad in the reservoir area was extended to cover the higher location proposed. Preparation of detailed plans and specifications for Dewey Reservoir, Ky., was completed. Studies connected with relocation of the railroad in Dillon Reservoir, Ohio, were initiated as were studies to deter- mine the necessity for model studies for the spillway. In addition, negotiations were begun with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad for execution of an agreement to cover relocation by the owner of the railroad in the Dillon Reservoir. Preparation of preliminary plans for the Burr Oak Reservoir, Ohio, was begun. The cost of new work during the fiscal year, all from regular funds, was $102,517.66. The expenditures were $107,125.09. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Preliminarysurveys and plans have been completed for a number of the projects included in the comprehensive plans and are well advanced on all others. Prepa- ration of detailed contract plans has been completed on one of the included projects and plans and specifications for one other project are in such condition as to permit initiation of construction imme- diately upon receipt of authorization thereof. The cost of new work to the end of the fiscal year was as follows: Regular funds.-The cost was $723,997.04. The expenditures were $719,443.80. Emergency Relief funds.-The cost and expenditures were $3,283.44. The total cost, all funds, was $727,280.48. The ex- penditures were $722,727.24. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and accounts receivable on June 30, 1945, $277,245.15, less a revocation of $10,000 made in July 1945, totaling $267,245.15, will be applied to accounts payable June 30, 1945, $5,242.19, and to development of the comprehensive plan. The sum of $8,510,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal years 1946 and 1947, for initiation of construction of Dewey, Dillon, and Sutton Reservoirs ($2,000,000 of this total in 1946 for Dewey and Dillon Reservoirs). The additional sum of $46,000 can be profitably expended in fiscal year 1947 for development of the comprehensive plan.

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. Geological 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 construction of original locks Nos. 8 to 15, inclusive, prior to 1904. The projects were adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, June 3, 1896, and June 4, 1897. For further details see page 1910 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1248, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the improvement of the river by 13 locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation for its entire length from Pittsburgh, Pa., to above Fairmont, W. Va. 1604 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Original locks and dams Nos. 7, 8, and 9 were replaced by new locks and dams Nos. 7 and 8 in 1925. Increased traffic necessitated an enlargement and improvement of locks and dams Nos. 1 to 6. between Pittsburgh and Rices Landing, Pa., by the building of two parallel chambers and fixed concrete dams. Original locks and dams Nos. 10 to 15, inclusive, are still ade- quate for the present traffic and are maintained under the existing project. Locks and dam No. 1 were eliminated in 1938 by the raising of the Emsworth Dam, Ohio River. The channel width varies from 125 feet in pool No. 15, to full width of river at the mouth. The controlling depth from Pittsburgh, Pa., to mile 100.3 in the upper reach of pool No. 8 is 9 feet at normal pool level, then to mile 100.9 is 8 feet, and from this point to the head of the river is 7 feet. The total estimated cost of new work, revised in 1945, is $14,925,000, 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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 Enlargement and improvement of lock and dam Annual Report, 1897, p. 2423. No. 6; additional works at lock No. 3; new re- pair steamer and new dredge boat with equip- ment; all at an estimated cost of $185,556.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1607 Terminal facilities.-The city of Pittsburgh has constructed a modern wharf for river freight. Boat landings are maintained by some municipalities along the river. A large number of tipples at mines and various types of hoists at manufacturing plants and sand and gravel supply companies are maintained for private use in loading and unloading coal, coke, billets, steel products, sand, gravel, and other commodities. These terminals and docks are not available for the purpose of general commerce. A number of docks and pipe lines are also privately maintained for petroleum and acid products. Marine ways are maintained by some of the larger industries. There are also several terminals for rail-to-river and river-to-rail transfer. 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.--New work.-Acqui- sition of a perpetual right-of-way easement for the access roadway to lock No. 6 was completed. Maintenance.-A general survey consisting of field work and the preparation of topographic drawings was continued. Surveys for dredging were made at various locations from the mouth of the river to the upper part of pool No. 4 and plans prepared for future dredging. Snagging operations were performed throughout the length of the channel by hired labor and Government plant, where required. A total of 51,432 cubic yards was dredged from the channel, at various bars, 39,857 cubic yards removed under con- tract in pool No. 2 and 11,575 cubic yards removed by hired labor and U. S. Derrickboats No. 5 and Monallo in pools Nos. 2, 4 and 9. Maintenance (operating and care).-The locks were operated as required and necessary repairs and improvements were made thereto, and to operators' quarters and grounds. In addition to ordinary repairs to structures and plant, the following major work was performed: At lock No. 2, repairs were made to the turbine, lower lock gates in the river chamber, and to valves, sills, and gates in the land chamber; at lock No. 3, repairs were made to emptying and filling valves and frames in the land chamber; at lock No. 4, repairs were made to the emptying valve in the middle wall and the water wheel; at lock No. 5, repairs were made to the emptying and filling valves, gates and sills in the river chamber; at lock No. 6, repairs were made to valves, gates and sills in the river chamber; at locks Nos. 13 and 14, repairs were made to the valves, sills, gates and quoin seals; at locks Nos. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15, repairs were made to the upper needle beam recesses. At lock No. 2, U.S. Derrickboat Monallo removed a total of 175 cubic yards of accumulated muck and silt from the lower approach. Advance planning work consisting of the design and prepara- tion of plans and specifications for the reconstruction of locks No. 2 was completed. Hydraulic model studies were under way by con- tract. 1608 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 The total costs were $693,418.62, of which $188.45 was for new work, $19,588.76 for channel maintenance, and $673,641.41 for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $705,511.04. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All locks and dams are com- plete and in operation. Remaining work to complete the project consists of the reconstruction of locks No. 2 and appurtenant works. The navigation channel has been maintained to project depth affording adequate depth at all times for the passage of commercial tows. The total costs of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $15,532,617.26, of which $10,415,973.13 was for new work and $5,116,644.13 for maintenance, including $4,932,674.85 for operation and care of locks and dams. The total expenditures were $15,513,633.47.

ALLEGHENY RIVER, PA.-CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS Location.-This river rises in northern Pennsylvania, flows northwestward into New York, thence generally southwestward to Pittsburgh, Pa., where it joins with the Monongahela River to 1610 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 af- ford 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 1945, is $18,380,000. The estimate of annual cost for operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 1936, is $209,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 5,1886 For lock and dam No. 1.

Terminal facilities.-The city of Pittsburgh has constructed a modern wharf for river freight. There are numerous privately maintained 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 products, and other commodities. The transshipment of freight between river and railroads is handled at privately owned river-to-rail terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-In con- nection with the purchase of land and flowage easements in pools Nos. 8 and 9, a total of 12.26 acres in fee simple and flowage ease- ments over 21.69 acres was acquired during the year to complete the acquisition of the total acreage involved. Negotiations relative to final conclusion of condemnation proceedings and legal work pertaining thereto were continued. Maintenance.-Snagging operations throughout the length of the channel were performed by hired labor and Government plant, where required. Maintenance (operating and care).-The locks were operated as required and necessary repairs and improvements were made thereto, and to the operators' quarters and grounds. In addition to ordinary repairs to structures and plant, the following major work was performed: At lock No. 2, valves were examined and repairs to two river wall valves were under way; at lock No. 4, repairs were made to the lower lock gates; at locks Nos. 5, 6 and 7, a total of 3,875 tons of stone was placed below the dams and abutments for necessary protection to the dams, 2,040, 615 and 1,220 tons being placed at the respective locks; and at lock No. 9, repairs were made to the rip-rap at the abutment. Dredging and snagging operations in lock chambers and ap- proaches were performed by hired labor and government plant, where required, a total of 1000 cubic yards of silt material being removed. The total costs were $251,228.34, of which $12,146.35 was for new work, $1,077.85 for channel maintenance and $238,004.14 for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $256,807.02. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-All locks and dams are complete and in operation. The navigation channel has been widened at certain points, and in general, maintained to project depth afford- ing adequate depth at all times for the passage of commercial tows. The total acreage of land and flowage easements involved in pools Nos. 8 and 9 has been acquired and consists of 31.98 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 93.93 acres. Remaining work to complete the project consists of dredging, and concluding nego- tiations relative to final conclusion of condemnation proceedings and legal work pertaining thereto in connection with the land and flowage easements in pools Nos. 8 and 9.

OHIO RIVER, OPEN-CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement, see page 1446. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1615 5. YOUGHIOGHENY RIVER, PA. Location.-This river, the principal tributary of the Mononga- hela, rises in Preston County, W. Va., near the western boundary of Maryland, flows northward through Maryland into Pennsyl- vania, thence northwestward to empty into the Monongahela River at McKeesport, Pa. Its length is 123 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for southwestern Pennsylvania, western Maryland, and northern West Virginia.) Previous projects. Adopted by River and Harbor Acts ap- proved 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 pro- vide a navigable depth of 9 feet by the construction of two locks and dams. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1935, is $4,197,000. There is no approved estimate for annual maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 9, 61st Cong., 2d sess.). The project was modified by the Chief of Engineers September 7, 1934, to provide for two locks and dams in lieu of three locks and dams previously authorized (no printed report). A map of the river is printed in House Docu- ment No. 82, Fifty-sixth Congress, first session. The Chief of Engineers is authorized to revise the plans and estimates to meet any changes in conditions. Terminal facilities.-Privately maintained terminals for un- loading coal, sand, gravel, manufactured products, etc., ample for present requirements, exist at McKeesport, Pa. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No work was per- formed during the year in connection with maintenance of the dredged channel from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa. There were no costs or expenditures. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No canalization work has been done on the existing project. The effect of pool No. 2, Mononga- hela River, on the dredged channel at the lower portion of the Youghiogheny River permits movement from the mouth to Fif- teenth Street, McKeesport, Pa., by commercial tows. The total cost and expenditures since the adoption of the existing project were $74,635.54, all for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1945, amounting to $4,103.71, will be applied to hired labor main- tenance dredging of a 9-foot channel between the mouth and Fif- teenth Street, McKeesport, Pa. The additional sum of $5,100 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, to be applied to maintenance dredging of the 9-foot channel from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa. 1616 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 289,600 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 1,183 square miles. Approximately 278,400 acre-feet of this controlled storage are available for flood prevention in the Monongahela and Ohio Valleys, while the remaining 11.200 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 penstocks are contained in the dam for possible future generation of hydroelectric power. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1940, is $18,500,000 with $45,000 for annual maintenance and operation. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Due to non-conformity with Public Law No. 158, Seventy-seventh Con- RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1617 gress, first session, authorizing the trahsfer of certain lands to the State of West Virginia, the State act'enacted in 1943 by the legis- lature of the State of West Virginia was amended and reenacted. State Senate Bill No. 216, introduced in January 1945 for enact- ment by the legislature of West Virginia, was signed by the Gov- ernor on March 10, 1945. This bill provides for the conveyance by the Federal Government to the State Conservation Commission of approximately 1,732 acres of land adjacent to the Tygart River Reservoir, to release all claims of the State of West Virginia for damage to roads and highways caused by the construction, opera- tion and maintenance of the reservoir, and permits the sale of adjacent land to any former owner or other person, any part there- of not to exceed in the aggregate of 1,000 acres. Negotiations to effect an agreement between the State Act and Public Law No. 158, Seventy-seventh Congress, first session were concluded, and land adjacent to the reservoir transferred to the State of West Virginia. Maintenance (operating and care).-The reservoir was operated effectively as required, and necessary repairs were made to the dam and related structures. A survey was under way to determine sedimentation in the reservoir, vertical and horizontal controls and-range lines being established to date. In addition to ordinary repairs to structures and plant, repairs were made to two needle valves by hired labor. During July, August, and September of 1944, run-off was de- ficient in the Monongahela Basin so that normal navigation pool stages were maintained in the Monongahela River only by the release of an average daily flow of about 400 second-feet from the reservoir. During tlhe remainder of the year, routine operations were made in accordance with the storage schedule, except on the occasion of several minor rises when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh was above flood stage three times during the year. On four other occasions rises occurred which crested between 20 and 25 feet. The three largest floods, on Feb- ruary 28, March 4, and March 7, 1945, crested at 27.7, 26.9 and 33.4 feet, respectively. Storage was made during each of these floods, but as the intervals between floods were short, total release of the impounded water could not be effected until after the last flood. The reservoir water surface reached levels 99.2, 122.5, and 124.4 feet above minimum pool on March 2, March 5, and March 8, respectively. The highest level reached during the year, on March 8, represents an impoundment of 183,100 acre-feet, or about 66 percent of the usable capacity. Tygart Reservoir, together with the five other completed flood control reservoirs above Pitts- burgh, Pa., including Tionesta, Crooked Creek, Mahoning Creek, Loyalhanna and Youghiogheny Reservoirs, effected reductions on these rises of about 2.0, 1.1, and 1.8 feet, respectively at Pitts- burgh, Pa. During the corresponding periods, rises on the Ohio River at Wheeling, W. Va., crested at 37.1, 36.6 and 47.3 feet re- spectively. Tygart Reservoir, together with the five other com- pleted reservoirs above Pittsburgh mentioned above, in conjunc- 672607-46--pt. 1, vol. 2-26 1618 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 tion with Berlin, Milton, and Mosquito Creek 'Reservoirs effected reductions of these rises of about 2.7, 2.2 and 2.3 feet, respectively, at Wheeling, W. Va. The total costs were $30,343.89, of which $200.16 was for new work and $30,143.73 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $30,602.26. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is fully complete except for the making of studies to determine the feasibility of con- veying certain lands to their former owners. The reservoir is in operation for low-water control in the Monongahela River and for the purpose of flood protection in the Monongahela and Ohio Valleys.

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- 1622 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 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 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 1945, is $5,300,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Some miscellaneous engineering work was performed. In addition, plans and specifications for the public sanitary building, parking area, surfacing of access road, landscaping and piezometer instal- lation were completed. In connection with the acquisition of land in the reservoir area, a total of 582.84 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 54 acres was acquired during the year. Maintenance (operating and care).-The reservoir was operated for the benefit of flood control, as required, and necessary repairs were made to the dam, and to operators' quarters and grounds throughout the fiscal year. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh was above flood stage three times during the year, and on four other occasions rises occurred which crested between 20 and 25 feet. The three largest floods, on February 28, March 4, and March 7, 1945, crested at 27.7, 26.9 and 33.4 feet, respectively. Storage was made during each of these floods but as the intervals between. floods were short, total release of the impounded water could not be effected until after the last flood. The reservoir water surface reached levels 41.8 feet, 49 feet, and 63.9 feet above the minimum pool on March 1, March 5, and March 9, respectively. The highest level reached during the year, on March 9, represents an impound- ment of 75,100 acre-feet, or about 62 percent of the capacity avail- able for flood control purposes. Results of reservoir operations in the reduction of flood stages at Pittsburgh, Pa. and Wheeling, W. Va., in combination with other units in the reservoir system are shown in the corresponding paragraph for Tygart River Reser- voir. During the remainder of the year operations were routine except on the occasion of several minor rises, when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. The total costs were $24,479.87, of which $8,297.55 was for new work and $16,182.32 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $27,283.25. Condition at end of fiscal yearS-The dam is complete and the reservoir is in operation as a unit of the reservoir system designed for the protection of Pittsburgh and the reduction of flood heights FLOOD CONTROL-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1623 in the Upper Ohio Valley, generally. Work remaining to be done consists of preliminary work; some miscellaneous appurtenances to the dam; completing a utility settlement; concluding the acquisi- tion of land; construction of a public sanitary building and storage building; completion of landscaping, parking area and access road; and installation of piezometers and'water-supply system for dwell- ings and public sanitary building. All work necessary to the acquisition of land in the reservoir area is approximately 98 per- cent complete. To date, approximately 99 percent of the total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 2,960.84 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 68 acres, the latter being fully complete. Under the 1936 Flood Control Act, the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania acquired the dam site for this project, the transfer of which title to the Federal Government has not yet been consummated.

Of this storage 89,400 acre-feet are available for flood prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The remaining 4,500 acre-feet are in permanent storage. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1943, is $4,300,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Some preliminary work was performed consisting of miscellaneous engi- neering work. In connection with the acquisition of land in the reservoir area, a total of 536.55 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 0.98 acre was acquired this fiscal year. Maintenance (operating and care).-The reservoir was operated for benefit of flood control, as required, and necessary repairs were made to the dam and to operators' quarters and grounds throughout the fiscal year. In addition to ordinary maintenance and repairs to structures and plant, repairs to the service gates were under way. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh was above flood stage three times during the year, and on four other occasions, rises occurred which crested between 20 and 25 feet. The three largest floods on February 28, March 4 and March 7, 1945, crested at 27.7, 26.9 and 33.4 feet, respectively. Storage was made during each of these floods, but as the intervals between floods were short, total release of the impounded water could not be effected until after the last flood. The reservoir water surface reached levels of 36.7, 39.0 and 57.7 feet above the minimum pool on March 1, March 5, and March 9, 1945, respectively. The highest level reached during the year, on March 9, represents an impoundment of 51,500 acre-feet, or about 60 percent of the capacity available for flood control purposes. Results of reservoir operations in the reduction of flood stages at Pittsburgh, Pa. and Wheeling, W. Va., in combination with other units in the reservoir system are shown in the corresponding paragraph for Tygart River Reservoir. Dur- ing the remainder of the year operations were routine except on the occasion of several minor rises, when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. 1626 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 The total costs were $16,238.17, of which $1,030.20 was for new work and $15,207.97 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $17,227.74. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and the reservoir is in operation as a unit in the reservoir system designed for the protection of Pittsburgh and the reduction of flood heights in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. Work remaining to be done consists of preliminary work; certain miscellaneous appurtenances to the dam; construction of a storage building; and making settle- ment with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for reimbursement for certain utility relocations performed by the Commonwealth under the requirements of the 1936 Flood Control Act. All work necessary to the acquisition of land in the reservoir is approx- imately 98 percent complete, The total acreage involved has been acquired, and consists of 2,563.55 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 99.98 acres. Under the 1936 Flood Control Act, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania acquired the dam site for this project, the transfer of which title has not as yet been consum- mated.

JOHNSTOWN, PA., CHANNEL Location.-The city of Johnstown is located in southwestern Cambria 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 Johnstown, Pa.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for in- creasing the channel capacity by enlarging and realining the exist- ing channels and protecting the banks with concrete pavement. Miscellaneous features of work include relocation of railroad track, highway 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" down- stream to about 2,650 feet below the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge at Dornick Point: the Little Conemaugh River for a distance of 7,500 feet from the "Point" upstream to about 150 feet below the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge in the vicinity of Fifth Street; and Stony Creek for a distance of 20,700 feet from the "Point" up- stream to about 500 feet above the Ferndale Bridge in the vicinity of the borough of Ferndale. The project is designed to accom- modate 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.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work.-Some preliminary work was performed consisting of miscellaneous engi- neering work. In connection with the acquisition of land, flowage easements over 216.38 acres were acquired during the year. Maintenaice.-Bids were received for the removal of a bar formed at the junction of Little Conemaugh River and Stony Creek and were rejected due to unsatisfactory bids. This bar was re- surveyed and the information obtained will be used in soliciting new bids for the removal of the bar under contract. In addition, repairs to a portion of footers of the slope paving below the Walnut Street bridge were partially completed. FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1629 The total costs were $140,462, of which $130,389.67 was for new work and $10,072.33 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $158,290.98. Condition at end of: fiscal year.-The improved channels are fully complete. Construction was accomplished by units, consist- ing of units Nos. 1, 2, 3, and supplementary unit No. 2A, all in the Conemaugh River section, unit No. 4 comprising the Little Cone- maugh River section, and units Nos: 5 and 6 comprising the Stony Creek section. All work necessary to the acquisition of land is approximately 96.5 percent complete.

M-AHONING CREEK RESERVOIR, PA. 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 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- controlled center spillway flanked by abutment sections joining the valley 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 prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, gen- erally. The remaining 4,500 acre-feet are in permanent storage. Two penstocks are contained in the structure for possible future FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1631 generation of hydroelectric power. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pitts- burgh 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.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work.-Some preliminary work, consisting of miscellaneous engineering work, was performed. In addition, plans and specifications for access road, landscaping and paving of existing small parking area were completed. In connection with the acquisition of land in the reser- voir area, a total of 27.10 acres in fee simple and flowage ease- ments over 18.89 acres was acquired during the year. Maintenance (operating and care).-The reservoir was oper- ated for the benefit of flood control, as required, and necessary repairs were made to the dam and to operators' quarters and grounds throughout the fiscal year. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh was above flood stage three times during the year, and on four other occasions rises occurred which crested between 20 and 25 feet. The three largest floods, on February 28, March 4 and March 7, 1945, crested at 27.7, 26.9 and 33.4 feet, respectively. Storage wasmade during each of these floods but as the intervals between floods were short, total release of the impounded water could not be effected until after the last flood. The reservoir water surface reached levels 63.9, 70 and 80.5 feet above the minimum pool on February 28, March 5, and March 8, respectively. The highest level reached during the year, on March 8, represents an impound- ment of 55,400 acre-feet, or about 79 percent of the capacity avail- able for flood control purposes. Results of reservoir operations in the reduction of flood stages at Pittsburgh, Pa., and Wheeling, W. Va., in combination with other units in the reservoir system are shown in the corresponding paragraph for Tygart River Reser- voir. During the first part of July the pool was held below mini- mum pool to facilitate repair work. During the remainder of the year operations were routine except on the occasion of several minor rises when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. The total costs were $41,554.73, of which $25,754.69 was for new work and $15,800.04 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $49,390.50. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and the reservoir is in operation as a unit in the reservoir system designed for the protection and the reduction of flood heights in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. All work necessary to the acquisition of land in the reservoir area is approximately 98.2 percent complete. To date, about 99.2 percent of the total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 2,501.10 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 76.89 acres, the latter being fully complete. Work remaining to be done consists of preliminary work; completing a 1632 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a flood control reservoir dam of the concrete gravity type with a gate con- trolled center spillway flanked by abutment sections joining the valley sides, and an earth embankment section terminating in the left abutment. The dam is 960 feet long at the top, rises 113 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross controlled stor- age of 95,300 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 291 square miles. Of this storage 93,300 acre-feet are available for flood prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, 672607-46-pt. 1, vol. 2-27 1634 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 generally. The remaining 2,000 acre4feet are in permanent stor- age. One penstock is contained in the structure for possible future generation of hydroelectric power. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pitts- burgh 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 1943, is $5,400,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Some preliminary work was performed consisting of miscellaneous engi- neering work. In addition, plans and specifications for public sanitary building, landscaping and parking area and surfacing of access road were completed. Clearing operations in the reservoir were continued, approximately 15 acres being cleared by hired labor. A cemetery was relocated under contract. Partial settle- ment was made for work performed by the owning agency in con- nection with a utility relocation. A 12-inch water line under the Alexandria Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad was replaced under contract. In connection with the acquisition of land in the reservoir area, a total of 74.04 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 4.92 acres were acquired during the year. Maintenance (operating and care).-The reservoir was oper- ated for the benefit of flood control, as required, and necessary repairs were made to the dam, and to operators' quarters and grounds throughout the fiscal year. In addition to ordinary main- tenance and repairs to structures and plant, shop work was con- tinued under contract in connection with construction of four new gate leaves, complete with seals, leaf seats and appurtenances, and repairs were made to four piston rods for the service gates under contract. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh was above flood stage three times during the year, and on four other occasions rises occurred which crested between 20 and 25 feet. The three largest floods, on February 28, March 4, and March 7, 1945, crested at 27.7, 26.9, and 33.4 respectively. Storage was made during each of these floods but as the intervals between floods were short, total release of the impounded water could not be effected until after the last flood. The reservoir water surface reached levels 25.2, 31.6, and 46.4 feet above the minimum pool on March 1, March 4, and March 8 respectively. The highest level reached during the year, on March 8, represents an impoundment of 45,100 acre-feet, or about 48 percent of the capacity available for flood control pur- poses. Results of reservoir operations in the reduction of flood stages at Pittsburgh, Pa., and Wheeling, W. Va., in combination with other units in the reservoir system are shown in the corre- sponding paragraph for Tygart River Reservoir. During the re- mainder of the year the reservoir acted as a detention basin with all gates left open except for several minor rises during which the emergency gates were closed and some water was stored and held until river conditions were such that it could be released. FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1635 The total costs were $80,831.34, of which $63,983.94 was for new work, and $16,847.40 for maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $83,708.32. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and the reservoir is in operation as a unit in the reservoir system designed for the protection of Pittsburgh and the reduction of flood heights in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. All work necessary to the acquisition of land in the reservoir area is approximately 98.6 percent complete. The total acreage involved was acquired, and consists of 3,347.04 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 78.92 acres. Work remaining to be done consists of preliminary work; completing settlement in connection with railroad relocation work performed by the owning agency under agreement with the United States; relocation of a number of highways and certain utilities in the reservoir area by agreement with the owning agencies and making settlement therefor; clearing of a few scat- tered parcels in the reservoir area; concluding work in connection with acquisition of land; construction of a public sanitary building and storage building; and completion of landscaping, parking area, surfacing of access road and certain miscellaneous appurtenances to 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 reser- voir dam of the rolled-fill type with separate uncontrolled side channel spillway and tunnel outlet works. The dam is 1,610 feet long at the top, rises 184 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross storage of 254,000 acre-feet of water from a tribu- tary drainage area of 435 square miles. Of this storage 5,200 acre- feet are in permanent storage and the remaining 248,800 acre-feet are available for flood control, navigation aid, and pollution-abate- ment purposes. The reservoir is operated as required for flood- prevention purposes as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley gen- erally. The project was selected for construction under the gen- eral authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1943, is $9,600,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.--New work.-Some preliminary work, consisting of preparation of operating manual and miscellaneous engineering work, was performed. In addition, plans and specifications for the completion of spillway lining, pub- lic sanitary building, damtenders dwellings, landscaping, surfacing of access road and parking area were well under way. Miscel- laneous clean-up and filling of foundations over approximately 15 acres were accomplished by hired labor to complete all clearing operations in the reservoir area. Work on negotiations and agree- ments relative to highway and utility alterations and relocations was continued and some settlements made with the owning agencies. Work in connection with final conclusion of land ac- quired was continued. Maintenance (operating and care).-The reservoir was oper- ated for the benefit of flood control, as required, and necessary repairs made to the dam and grounds throughout the fiscal year. 1638 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 In addition to ordinary maintenance and repairs to structures and plant, 3 acres of ground were cultivated under contract and fertil- ized and seeded by hired labor to prevent future erosion below the dam. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh was above flood stage three times during the year and on four other occasions, rises occurred which crested between 20 and 25 feet. The three largest floods, on February 28, March 4 and March 7, 1945, crested at 27.7, 26.9 and 33.4 feet, respectively. Storage was made during each of these floods but as the intervals between floods were short, total release of the impounded water could not be effected until after the last flood. The reservoir water surface reached levels 35.2, 25.7 and 45.6 feet above the minimum pool on February 28, March 5 and March 8, 1945, respectively. The highest level reached during the year, 1389.6 on March 8, represents an impoundment of 42,400 acre-feet or about 17 percent of the capacity available for flood control purposes. Results of reservoir operations in the reduction of flood stages at Pittsburgh, Pa., and Wheeling, W. Va., in com- bination with other units in the reservoir system are shown in the corresponding paragraph for Tygart River Reservoir. During the remainder of the year, the reservoir surface was maintained at or near the minimum pool for the purpose of keeping US Route 40, a main highway which at present crosses the reservoir, from being flooded. The total costs were $96,042.94, of which $79,467.49 was for new work and $16,575.45 for maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $109,515.76. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete except for completion of spillway lining, and the reservoir is in operation for flood control, navigation aid and pollution abatement purposes. For flood prevention, the reservoir is operated as a unit in the reservoir system designed -for the protection of Pittsburgh and the reduction of flood heights in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. Clearing of the reservoir area is fully complete. All work neces- sary to the acquisition of land is approximately 96.5 percent com- plete. The total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 3,914.29 acres in fee simple. Work remaining to be done consists of preliminary work; making settlements relative to utilities and highways affected by the reservoir; work in connection with final conclusion of land acquired; completion of the spillway lining; construction of damtenders' dwellings, public sanitary building and storage building; installation of water supply system for dwellings and public sanitary building; and completion of land- scaping, surfacing of access road and parking area, and certain miscellaneous appurtenances to the dam. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all from regular funds, were $7,691,558.43, of which $7,660,056.47 was for new work and $31,501.96 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $7,672,032.51.

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 FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1641 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 reser- voir dam with a partially controlled, concrete, gravity, center spill- way flanked by rolled-fill abutment sections joining the valley sides. The dam is 5,750 feet long at the top, rises 95 feet above the stream. bed, and provides for the gross controlled storage of 91,200 acre- feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 250 square miles. Of this storage, 1,800 acre-feet are in permanent storage and the remaining 89,400 acre-feet are available for flood control and water supply purposes in the industrialized Mahoning Valley be- low. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Con- trol Acts approved June 28, 1938, and August 18, 1941. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1943, is $7,250,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work.-Some preliminary work consisting of a topographic survey of the reser- voir pool area, "as built" revision of plans, preparation of oper- ating manual, and miscellaneous engineering work was performed. In addition, plans and specifications for stilling weir, damtenders' dwellings, and surfacing of access road were completed. Advance planning for the public sanitary building and parking area was suspended pending final action on proposed agreement with the State of Ohio for construction and operation of these features by the State. Clearing operations in the reservoir area were continued by hired labor whenever reservoir storage conditions permitted. Approximately 55 acres were cleared during the year. Hired labor forces also accomplished the installation and testing of a gasoline electric standby unit with tank at the dam. All work in connection with agreements and settlements for highways affected by the reservoir was concluded. Work on nego- tiations and agreements was continued relative to utility altera- tions and relocations and some utility settlements were made. In connection with the acquisition of land in the reservoir area, nego- tiations were continued for acquisition of flowage easements. Maintenance (operating and care).---The reservoir was oper- ated effectively for low-water regulation and necessary repairs were made to operators' temporary quarters and grounds through- out the fiscal year. In addition to ordinary repairs to structures and plant, the downstream face and the top of the right embank- ment was seeded under contract. No damaging floods occurred on the Mahoning River during the year. The run-off from the rises which occurred during the floods on the Ohio River was all stored and held for subsequent release. Results of reservoir opera- tions in the reduction of flood stages at Wheeling, W. Va., in com- bination with other units in the reservoir system are shown in the 1642 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 corresponding paragraph for Tygart River Reservoir. This reser- voir in conjunction with Milton Reservoir was operated for low- water regulation as required. The usable storage in the two reser- voirs on July 1 was 75,000 acre-feet. The impounded water was released, at rates varying from 100 to 270 second-feet to improve flow conditions in the Mahoning River and to keep the temperature of the river water at Youngstown, Ohio, as cool as possible. By February 13, 1945, the usable storage had been depleted to 5,400 acre-feet, but the period of deficient stream flow was over and the storage period could be started. During the next 21/2 months the low-water storage was fully replenished and some excess water was released. The highest water surface level reached during the year in Berlin Reservoir was 51.5 feet above minimum pool on May 19. This represents an impoundment of 86,500 acre-feet, or about 97 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. The maximum usable storage in Berlin and Milton Reservoirs of 112,500 acre-feet occurred on May 21, 1945. Release of storage for regulation of Mahoning River discharges was required during June with the flow varying from 300 to 340 second-feet. On June 30, 1945, the combined usable storage re- maining in the two reservoirs was 87,300 acre-feet. The total costs were $154,421.72, of which $127,156.55 was for new work and $27,265.17 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $153,971.82. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and the reservoir is in operation for flood control and low-water regulation purposes in the industrialized Mahoning Valley below. Approxi- mately 95 percent of clearing work in the reservoir area has been completed. All work necessary to the acquisition of land in the reservoir area is approximately 92.5 percent complete. To date, about 99.7 percent of the total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 6,917.25 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 1,052.72 acres, the former being fully complete. Work re- maining to be done consists of preliminary work, including the completion of preparation of plans and specifications for the public sanitary building and parking area; completion of clearing in the reservoir area by hired labor when storage conditions permit; making settlements relative to utilities affected by the reservoir; concluding the acquisition of land; construction of a concrete still- ing weir below the dam, damtenders' dwellings and storage build- ing; and completion of landscaping, paving entrance road and sur- facing of access road and certain miscellaneous appurtenances to the dam. Construction of a public sanitary building and parking area has been deferred pending further action on possibility that reservoir area will be turned over to the State of Ohio for recrea- tional development. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all from regular funds, were $5,864,960.61, of which $5,808,447.51 was for new work and $56,513.10 for maintenance.

MOSQUITO CREEK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location.-The dam site is located on Mosquito Creek, 9 miles above the junction of the creek with the Mahoning River at Niles, Ohio, and about 18 miles upstream from Youngstown, Ohio. The reservoir is located in central Trumbull County, northeastern Ohio. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts from Bristolville, Ohio, and Kinsman, Ohio, and Pa.) Existing project.--This provides for the construction of a reser- voir dam of the rolled earth-fill type with outlet facilities through the dam, and an uncontrolled natural wasteway to discharge over- flow from the reservoir. The wasteway is located at the upper end of the reservoir area on the low-lying reach of the Mosquito Creek- Grand River Divide and overflow will be discharged into the Grand River, a tributary of Lake Erie. The dam is 5,650 feet long at the top, rises 47 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross controlled storage of 107,000 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 97 square miles. Of this storage, 102,000 acre- feet are available for low-water regulation and flood-control pur- poses in the Mahoning and Beaver Valleys below. A modicum of effect applies to the upper Ohio River Valley, below the mouth of the Beaver River. The remaining 5,000 acre-feet are in permanent storage. The reservoir is operated for flood-prevention purposes as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the FLOOD CONTROL-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1645 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 $4,641,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work.-Con- tract plans and specifications for the outlet works operating house were completed and contract awarded; some preliminary work, consisting of operating manual and miscellaneous engineering work, was performed. In addition, plans and specifications for the damtenders' dwellings and permanent service bridge, access road, landscaping and miscellaneous appurtenances were com- pleted. No advance planning was done for the public sanitary building and parking area pending further action on possibility that reservoir area will be turned over to the State of Ohio for recreational development. The contract for the embankment and outlet works was com- pleted. Work completed consisted of, final dressing of rock over certain areas of the dumped rock blanket on the upstream face of the dam; grading topsoil to final slopes and seeding in all required areas; and erection of the temporary timber service bridge from the dam to the intake tower. General cleanup was effected at the dam site and corrective measures were applied for the correct oper- ation of the 4- by 8-foot sluice gates. Construction of the outlet works operating house was started May 28, 1945, and was under way. Work performed to date con- sisted of drilling holes through the existing concrete for the light- ning protection system, placing door and window frames, laying of brick to an elevation of 13 feet above the operating floor, and placing embedded conduit run for the entrance lights. Clearing operations in the reservoir area were completed by hired labor on March 1, 1945. Some work on miscellaneous ap- purtenances to the dam was performed by hired labor and certain machinery and equipment purchased. Some utility settlements were made for relocations performed by the owning agencies. A partial settlement was made to the State of Ohio for relocation of a highway under agreement. All utility work in connection with the relocation of Ohio State Route No. 5 was completed. Grading and construction of drainage structures for relocation of Ohio State Routes 305 and 5 at the dam site was started on July 17, 1944, and completed on June 10, 1945 under contract. In connection with acquisition of land in the reservoir area, flowage easements over 121.83 acres were acquired during the year. Maintenance (operating and care).-The reservoir was oper- ated effectively for low water regulation and necessary repairs made to the grounds and plant. No damaging floods occurred on the Mahoning River during the year. The run-off from the rises which occurred during the floods on the Ohio River was all stored and held for subsequent release. Results of reservoir operations 1646 REPORT OF CHIEF OF EN(GINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 in the reduction of flood stages at Wheeling, W. Va., in combina- tion with other units in the reservoir system are shown in the corresponding paragraph for Tygart River Reservoir. The reser- voir was operated for low-water regulation as required. The usable storage in the reservoir on July 1, 1944, was 37,000 acre- feet. This impounded water was released during the summer and fall at rates varying from 5 to 200 second-feet to improve flow conditions in the Mahoning River and to keep the river water at Youngstown, Ohio, as cool as possible. The minimum elevation of the reservoir surface occurred on November 16, 1944, when the storage had been depleted to 6,700 acre-feet. During the winter and spring the storage was replenished and the reservoir surface reached a maximum elevation for the year, 15.6 feet above mini- mum pool on the last of May. This represents an impoundment of 58,100 acre-feet of usable storage, or about 56 percent of the capacity of the reservoir. Some storage was released for the low- water regulation of the Mahoning River during June with the flow varying from 1 to 130 second-feet. On June 30, 1945, the usable storage remaining in the reservoir was 55,000 acre-feet. The total,costs were $917,641.97, of which $906,858.72 was for new work and $10,783.25 for maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $1,107,297.36. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and is in operation for flood control and low water regulation purposes in the industrialized Mahoning and Beaver Valleys, below. All work necessary to the final conclusion of the acquisition of land in the reservoir area is approximately 90 percent complete. The total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 11,213.98 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 93.93 acres. All clearing work in the reservoir area is complete. Work remaining to be done consists of preliminary work; certain miscellaneous appurte- nances to the dam; completion of the outlet works operating house; completion of all work in connection with final conclusion of land acquisition; making final settlement for highway relocation being performed by the State of Ohio under agreement; making settle- ments for certain utility relocations performed by the owning agencies; construction of damtenders' dwellings and storage build- ing; landscaping, permanent service bridge, and entrance road to dwellings. Construction of public sanitary building and parking area has been deferred pending further action on possibility that reservoir area will be turned over to the State of Ohio for recrea- tional development. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all from regular funds, were $3,661,460.61, of which $3,649,224.23 was for new work and $12,236.38 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $3,638,066.02.

CHIPPEWA HARBOR, ISLE ROYALE, MICH. Location.-The harbor is located on the south shore of Isle Royale, 55 miles northerly from the Upper Entrance to Keweenaw Waterway, Mich., and 185 miles northeasterly from Duluth, Minn. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 981.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 75 feet wide and 14 feet deep, connecting the outer and inner harbors. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary seasonal variation of water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. The harbor is subject to extreme fluctuations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric conditions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimated cost for new work, made in 1945, is $41,000. Annual maintenance is not required. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 446, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). 1656 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Terminal facilities. There are two small privately owned fish- ing wharves. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done or funds expended on the existing project. A controlling depth of 6 feet for a width of 50 feet exists in the entrance channel. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is contemplated during the fiscal years 1946 and 1947.

GRAND MARAIS HARBOR, MINN. Location.-The harbor is situated on the north shore of Lake Superior, 106 miles northeasterly from Duluth, Minn. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 9.) Existing project.-This provides for rock-filled timber crib breakwater piers 350 feet in length from the east and west points of the bay to narrow the entrance; for constructing concrete sea walls across the ledge at the southeast corner of the harbor; and for dredging an anchorage area of 36.5 acres to a depth of 16 feet with depths near the entrance of 18 and 20 feet. All depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary seasonal varia- tion of water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. The harbor is subject to extreme fluctuations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric condi- tions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $209,- 000. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $6,500. The existing project was authorized by the following River and Harbor Acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1879 Breakwaters and dredging of anchorage area of 26 H. Ex. Doc. No. 75, 43d Cong., 2d sess. acres to 16 feet. (Annual Report, 1875, p. 184.)

Terminal facilities.-There are two general merchandise wharves, one oil wharf, and several fish wharves, all privately RIVERS AND HARBORS--DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1657 owned. These facilities are considered adequate for existing com- merce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Maintenancesurveys were made at a cost and expenditure of $100. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. Project depth of 16 feet is available in the anchor- age basin dredged by the United States and by private parties under permit. Under permits to private parties, 420,795 cubic yards have been dredged since 1922 without cost to the United States. No private dredging was done during the fiscal year. Proj- ect depths of 18 and 20 feet are available in the entrance channel. The concrete sea walls are in excellent condition. The break- waters are in good condition. The gravel spit along the eastern side of the harbor is too low to prevent waves from rolling into the harbor during severe storm periods. The total costs of the existing project at the end of the fiscal year were $209,819.91 for new work and $123,961.60 for main- tenance, a total of $333,781.51. The total expenditures were $333,781.51. Proposed operations.-The amount of $400 anticipated to be allotted during fiscal year 1946 will be applied to maintenance surveys during the fiscal year. An additional sum of $1,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance surveys with Government plant and hired labor.

The ordinary seasonal variation of water level extends from 0 to ±1 foot above low-water datum. The harbor is subject to extreme fluctuations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric conditions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level pre- vailing at the time. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1932, was $334,608. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of main- tenance is $14,000. The existing project was authorized by the following River and Harbor Acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1661 Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 5, 1886 Breakwater and dredging_ H. Ex.

(This document contains the latest pub- lished map.) Recommended modifications of the project.-Under date of December 11, 1944, the Chief of Engineers recommended modifica- tion of the existing project so as to provide for the construction of a new east breakwater 1,625 feet in length, and enlargement of the harbor by dredging additional areas in the east and south and removing the existing east breakwater at an estimated first cost of $1,876,000, with no increase in the previous estimated cost of maintenance, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. No. 805, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The foregoing modification was authorized by act approved November 7, 1945, Public Law No. 213, Seventh-ninth Congress. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are no publicly owned wharves. The ore docks, coal dock, merchandise wharf and tug wharf are privately owned. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Maintenancesurveys were made at a cost and expenditure of $100. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1934. The breakwaters are in good condition. The con- trolling depth in the maneuvering area at the end of the fiscal year was 26 feet. The total costs were $282,461.98 for new work and $225,649.21 for maintenance, a total of $508,111.19. The total expenditures were $508,111.19. Proposed operations.-The amount of $200 anticipated to be allotted during fiscal year 1946 will be applied to maintenance surveys during the fiscal year. The additional sum of $500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance surveys with Government plant and hired labor.

PORT WING HARBOR, WIS. Location.-The harbor is situated on the south shore of Lake Superior, 34 miles easterly from Duluth. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 96, Lake Superior.) RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1667 Existing project. This provides for the construction of two parallel piers at the entrance 200 feet apart and 800 and 825 feet long, respectively, 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 pre- serve the sand spit from erosion; a pile revetment along the east bank; and for dredging a channel 150 feet wide with 15-foot depth between the piers and 500 feet along the pile revetment parallel to the spit. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Supe- rior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordi- nary seasonal variation of water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. The harbor is subject to extreme fluctua- tions of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and bar- ometric conditions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $67,850. 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 map 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 consid- ered adequate for existing commerce, consisting of a few small fish boats. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredg- ing was done during the fall of 1944 by Government plant and hired labor and a total of 13,420 cubic yards was removed. The costs were $11,025.47, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $11,217.05. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project, which is about 70 percent complete, 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 150 feet wide in the lake approach and 100 feet wide in the harbor, extending from deep water in the lake to a distance 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 settle- ment of the stone and slab filling. At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depth was 9.4 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 neces- sary to widen the channel 50 feet between the piers and to extend the turning slip 300 feet and the revetment about 450 feet. The total costs were $119,813.68, of which $48,355.23 was for new work and $71,458.45 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $120,005.26. 1668 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

ASHLAND HARBOR, WIS. Location.-The harbor is situated at the head of Chequamegon Bay, on the south shore of Lake Superior. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 964.) Existing project.-This provides for an 8,000-foot breakwater and a dredged channel along the dock front, 75 feet outside the harbor line, 20 feet deep and 200 feet wide from a point 400 feet west of Seventeenth Avenue West produced to Eighth Avenue West produced; and a flared channel 21 feet deep, 750 feet wide at its westerly end and 400 feet wide at its easterly end from Eighth Avenue West produced to Ellis Avenue produced; for an entrance channel 21 feet deep and 400 feet wide extending in a northerly direction from the easterly end of this channel; and a basin 25 feet deep and about 4,800 feet long, extending from a point about 400 feet west of the Soo dock to a point 1,000 feet east of the Chicago & North Western dock No. 3, and extending from a line 75 feet outside of the harbor line to deep water in the bay. RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1671 The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary seasonal variation of water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. The harbor is subject to extreme fluctuations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric conditions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, was $756,400. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $19,000.

Local cooperation.-The improvement authorized by the act of March 2, 1945, is subject to the condition that local interests fur- nish free of cost to the United States all spoil-disposal areas neces- sary for the further improvement and its subsequent maintenance, when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the work. The above requirement has not been complied with. 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Maintenancesurveys were made at a cost and expenditure of $100. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 97 percent completed. The breakwater is in good condition, except for some settlement, which should be brought up to the prescribed 1672 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 elevations. At the end of the fiscal year project depths were avail- able in the west channel and east basin. To complete the project there remains the widening of the west channel by dredging. The total cost was $1,200,220.09, of which $732,375.49 was for new work, and $467,844.60 for maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $1,201,906.17. Proposed operations.-The amount of $1,000 anticipated to be allotted during fiscal year 1946 will be applied to maintenance surveys by Government plant and hired labor during the fiscal year 1946. The additional sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance dredging with U. S. dipper dredge Gaillard during the summer of 1946.

(See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 944.) Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) A waterway across Keweenaw Peninsula via Portage Lake, 25 feet deep and 300 feet wide, increased to 400 feet through Portage Lake below the shoal at its head and with a straight cut- off channel from Princess Point to Messners Point. (b) Flaring eastern entrance from Keweenaw Bay, 28 feet deep in the outer portion, diminishing to 25 feet in the inner portion, protected by a breakwater 5,714 feet long. (c) A mooring basin inside the east entrance, one-half mile long, 800 feet wide, and 25 feet deep, with mooring piers protected by fender piling. (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 entrance 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 feetlong and 800 feet wide and 25 feet deep, with mooring piers protected by fender piling. (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 Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $6,638,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance 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: RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1677 Acts Work authorized Documents Sept. 19, 1890 Acquisition of the waterway; for a 16 foot channel H.

(Contains the latest published maps.) with additional overdepth at entrances, exten- sion of the lower entrance breakwater, and the necessary alteration or replacement of structures due to deepening of the channels. 1 Included in the Emergency Relief Administration program, May 28, 1935. Terminal facilities.-The six coal docks, three general merchan- dise 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.--New work.-Pre- liminary plans, specifications, and surveys for breakwaters and revetments were made at a cost of $11,608.81, all for new work. Maintenance.-The following maintenance work was performed by United States plant: 117,011 cubic yards of material were dredged in Upper Canal, Lily Pond, Lower Canal and Portage Lake; and 2,007 tons of stone were placed on the west breakwater at the upper entrance. The costs of the various items of maintenance work done during the year were as follows: $39,357.05 for dredging; $35,262.92 for breakwater repairs; and $15,512.13 for inspections, surveys, pre- liminary plans, and waterway patrol, a total of $90,132.10, all for maintenance. The total costs were $101,740.91 and the total expenditures were $102,229.60. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was 77 percent complete. The breakwaters are in good condition except for a weakness occurring in about 300 feet of the substructure of the breakwater at the lower entrance, and the stone-covered por- tions of the breakwaters at the upper entrance are in need of minor repairs. The remaining timber revetments along the waterway are in poor condition. The mooring pier at the Lily Pond requires repairs to halt movement, and permit dredging to project depth adjacent thereto, and that at the Portage River harbor of refuge 1678 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 is in good condition. Annual redredging of channels will be re- quired indefinitely. The controlling depth on June 30, 1945, was 25 feet. To complete the project there remains the extension of the lower entrance breakwater, and the necessary alteration or replacement of structures due to deepening of channels. For work performed with regular funds, the costs of the existing project were $4,998,399.93 for new work and $2,580,747.36 for maintenance, a total of $7,579,147.29. The total expenditures were $7,588,195.79. 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 $7,761,973.06 of which $5,181,225.70 was for new work and $2,580,747.36 for maintenance. The total ex- penditures were $7,771,021.56. In addition, the sum of $402,241.74 was expended between 1893 and 1917 on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of fiscal year, $98,573.37, plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable ______________________________________ $1, 198. 37 New work: Preparation of plans and specifications ____- _ 9, 000. 00 Maintenance: Dredging: Removal of scattered shoals with U.

Terminal fccilities.-These consist of one ore dock, one coal dock, and three old wharves seldom used. There are also several small fish wharves without railroad con- nections. The facilities are considered adequate for existing com- merce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairs, consisting of placing 706 tons of stone by Government plant and hired labor, were made to the rubble mound breakwater. The costs were $9,201.07 for breakwater repairs and $100 for maintenance sur- veys, a total of $9,301.07, all for maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $10,131.65. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935. The concrete-covered breakwater was completed inthe fiscal year 1905, the rubble-mound portion of the breakwater in 1922, and the dredging in 1935. The rubble-mound portion of the breakwater is in good condition, but patching and resurfacing are necessary on a portion of the concrete-capped breakwater. The controlling depth in the harbor is'25 feet. The cost and expenditures were $1,117,311.56 for new work and $357,832.73 for maintenance, a total of $1,475,144.29, including $72,188.05 Public Works funds for new work. The total expendi- tures were $1,475,144.29. Proposed operations.-The amount of $15,000, anticipated to be allotted during fiscal year 1946, will be applied to maintenance repairs to the rubble mound portion of the breakwater with U.

GRAND MARAIS, HARBOR OF REFUGE, MICH. Location.-The harbor is situated on the south shore of Lake Superior 314 miles east of Duluth, Minn., and 93 miles west of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 9.) Existing project.-This provides for parallel timber-crib piers 500 feet apart-aggregate length 3,450 feet-extending out to a depth in the lake of 22 feet at ordinary low water; for closing the natural entrance by a pile dike 5,770 feet long; and for dredging a channel 300 feet wide and 18 feet deep between the piers, and 500 feet wide and 20 feet deep at the lake approach. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary seasonal variation in water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low- water datum. The harbor is subject to extreme fluctuations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric conditions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1894, is $484,000. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual maintenance is $15,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Existing project, except for pile dike _- J----- (Specified in act.)

Terminal facilities.-There is no rail connection with the har- bor. There are one general merchandise wharf and several small fish wharves. The facilities are considered adequate for present needs. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance sur- veys were made at a cost of $600. The expenditures were $543.72. 1690 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 at the end of the fiscal year was 12 feet. The costs were $355,885.29 for new work and $467,551.76 for maintenance, a total of $823,437.05. The total expenditures were $823,380.77. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, $56.28, will be applied to accounts payable during the fiscal year 1946. The additional sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for minor repairs to the pile dike by hired labor during the summer and fall of 1946.

June 25,1910 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 curtailed 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 $3,233.18. The total expenditures were $2,109.18. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project as a whole was 76 percent completed. The protective jetty was completed in 1910 and reconstructed as a rubble mound in 1929. It is in good condi- tion. 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 is 6 feet below low- water datum which is 1,056 feet above mean tide level at New York, for a least width of 100 feet. Annual maintenance is neces- sary. The shore revetment is in need of minor repairs. The work to be done to complete that part of the existing project outside of the present used dredging lines consists of widening the lake channel from 200 to 300 feet for a distance of 7,460 feet. This has not been done, as the additional width is not necessary to meet present requirements. The total costs of the existing project at the end of the fiscal year were $83,805.36 for new work and $281,128.19 for maintenance, a total of $364,933.55. The total expenditures were $397,578.00. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fisdal year, $1,263.46, including accounts receivable, plus an additional amount of $13,750 anticipated to be allotted during fiscal year 1946, a total of $15,013.46, will be applied to mainte- nance as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS--DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1695 -- Accounts payable ______________________-- ________ $127.70 Dredging with U.

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, respectively, and for a channel 18 feet deep except where rock is encountered at less depth. This channel extends from that depth in the lake up the river a distance of 1,650 feet from its mouth, having a total length of 3,200 feet from the outer end in the lake and varies in width from 180 to'475 feet, the west side at the river 'mouth being protected by a pier 375 feet long. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled piling and timber cribs, capped with 1704 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 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 1908, was $338,- 462, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1917) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1905 Breakwaters and outer harbor H. Doc. No. 429, 58th Cong., 2d seas. Mar. 2, 1907 Present location of west breakwater, pier at river Annual Report 1908, p. 648, and unpub- mouth, and present project channel dimensions. lished report of Mar. 13, 1908, ap- proved by Secretary of War Apr. 3, 1908. 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 lumberyard 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.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 24,559 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $15,384.36 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $16,022.71. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted 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 com- pleting the project. The plank crib pier was completed in 1909. The breakwaters are in generally good condition. The superstruc- ture of the plank crib pier is in a very dilapidated condition, but immediate repairs thereto are not considered 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 17.4 feet in the channel through the outer basin to the river mouth, thence 17 feet in river to about 350 feet above the car-ferry slip, decreasing to about 15.5 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 $164,313.42 for main- RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1705 tenance, a total of $471,565.60.

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.-Prior to 1902 the harbor and river con- stituted 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. Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the river by parallel piers 400 feet apart and about 1,870 and 2,681 feet in length for the north and south piers, respectively; 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 municipal wharf, with an enlarged turning basin 21 feet deep on south side of the channel just below that wharf and for a channel 12 feet deep and generally 90 feet wide upstream from the upper end of the municipal wharf for a distance of 2,500 feet to the vicinity of the Marinette Yacht Club. 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 2,156 feet of the south pier having been repaired 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 pressures, of about 11/ 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 (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbors acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1871 Entrance piers 1__________________________________ Annual Report, 1867, p. 132.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip, there are numer- ous wharves for handling coal, building materials, and miscel- laneous commodities. The city of Marinette has provided a public wharf. The facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, except that there is need for a public wharf owned by the city of Menominee with warehouse and railway connection. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 17,500 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth at a cost of $5,601.21. Repairing and reinforcing sub- structure and constructing concrete superstructure on 880 linear feet of the south pier, in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, was completed at a cost of $45,631.43. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $51,232.64 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $34,344.19. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was completed in 1938. No work will be necessary at the present time, to provide a depth of 12 feet in the extension of the channel to the vicinity of the Marin- ette Yacht Club as project depth or more is now available. The entrance piers were completed in 1884 and are in generally good condition, except that the inner 525 feet of the south pier requires extensive repairs. The dredging of the channel below the Marin- ette municipal wharf and enlarging the turning basin were com- pleted in 1938. The inner 654 feet of the north pier is no longer essential for the preservation of the channel and is therefore main- tained only for a length of about 1,216 feet. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 21 feet in the channel to the Marinette municipal wharf and in the turning basin, except in the southerly 125 feet of the basin, where it shoals to about 11 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 $455,523.82 for main- tenance, a total of $605,028.31. The total expenditures were $606,- 404.01. Proposedoperations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($13,872.77) plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted will be applied as follows: 1708 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

GREEN BAY HARBOR, WIS. Location.-Located at the mouth of the Fox River, at the head of Green Bay, distant about 180 miles from Milwaukee, Wis., via Sturgeon Bay Canal, and about 49 miles southwesterly from Menominee Harbor, Mich. and Wis. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart 725.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 23, 1866. This project was modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1874; July 13, 1892; and June 3, 1896. For further details see page 1934 of Annual Report of 1915 and page 1431, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an outer channel in Green Bay about 10 miles long and 22 feet deep, from that depth in the bay to the mouth of Fox River, varying in width from 500 feet at the outer end to 300 feet at the river mouth, including widening of the bend outside of Tail Point Light; for protecting the portion through Grassy Island, about 700 feet long, on the east side by a stone-filled timber pile revetment capped with concrete superstruc- ture; for straightening the channel from the inner end of Grassy Island to the river mouth; for widening the channel in Fox River through the city of Green Bay by the removal of shoals at the mouth of East River and between the two upper railroad bridges to a depth of 22 feet; for a turning basin 22 feet deep at the mouth of East River; for a turning basin 20 feet deep above the Chicago & North Western Railway bridge near the southern limits of the city of Green Bay: for an inner channel in the river 150 feet wide and 18 feet deep extending upstream about 31/2 miles from the lat- ter turning basin to De Pere, terminating in another turning basin 18 feet deep with sufficient area to accommodate 500-foot vessels. 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 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 1945, was $1,765,000, exclusive of amounts expended on pre- vious projects but including $70,000 contributed and $30,000 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1945) approved esti- mate for annual cost for maintenance for the entire project is $30,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts:' 1710 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, provided that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights-of-way and spoil disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent maintenance as required and con- tribute $30,000 toward the cost of dredging the turning basin at the mouth of East River. Negotiations for compliance are in progress. All prior requirements have been complied with. 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. Operati.ons and results during the fiscal year.-Operations con- sisted of dredging 124,500 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $26,402.08 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $26,304.84. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was completed in 1938. No work has been done on the last modification of the project provid- ing for a turning basin at the mouth of East River. Deepening and widening the outer channel was completed in 1936. The chan- nel in Fox River through the city of Green Bay was completed in 1935. The turning basin above the Chicago & North Western Rail- way bridge was completed in 1938. The inner channel and turning basin was completed in 1926. The east revetment 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 the city of Green Bay, 20 feet in turning basin above railway bridge, and 17 feet in the inner channel, including the turning basin at De Pere. The head of deep-water navigation is at De Pere. The costs under the existing project were as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1711 New work Maintenance Total Regular funds-_ _ - $667, 916. 59 $591,295.46 $1,259,212. 05 Public W orks funds ----- .... .. ... .. ..-----. . . . 940, 800.00 940, 800. 00 Total - . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In addition $70,- 000 contributed funds were expended on new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($36,433.39) will be applied to maintenance dredg- ing of outer and inner channels by contract, July-September 1945. Dredging is required annually for maintenance of project dimen- sions of channel. The additional sum of $35,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, for mainte- nance dredging by contract or with U. S. dipper dredge Kewaunee during the summer and fall of 1946.

The Wolf River, physically the main river but by designa- tion a tributary 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.) 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 main- tenance 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 other- wise improving Wolf River from its mouth to New London, a dis- tance 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 be- low 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 Fee' Feet Fet Fest Lower Fox River at De Pere Dam O 1. 4 1___________________. 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.

Terminal facilities.-The wharf and landing facilities are in general adequate for the accommodation of existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance.- Operations consisted of stone paving and other miscellaneous re- pairs and improvements to canal banks at the following localities: Right bank below Kaukauna fifth lock; right and left banks below Kaukauna fourth lock; right bank above Kaukauna first lock; left bank above Cedars dam; left bank above Appleton fourth lock; left bank below Appleton first lock; and left bank above Menasha lock, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $16,362.40 for maintenance. Operating and care.-Operationsconsisted of making necessary repairs to locks, dams, canal banks, and lock houses, including painting of all steel work below water surface at De Pere lock; repairing lower gates at Kaukauna fifth lock; and rebuilding upper right wing wall at Little Chute Combined locks, at a cost of $13,702.76. The locks and dams were operated in accordance with the existing project and gages were read at a cost of $96,- 822.46. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost of operating care was $110,525.22. The total cost of all work was $126,887.62. The total net expenditures were $135,816.01. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 44 percent complete (upper river, 25 percent; lower, 83 percent). Twenty-two original locks and nine original dams have been re- built; 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. O0 2 miles above mouth of Wolf River to Eureka lock _____________ 4. 5 Eureka lock to Montello lock-------------------------------- 3.

The head of navigation for boat traffic is New London on the Wolf River and Portage on the upper Fox, except that dur- ing 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1717 the upper portion of the Wolf River; also rock removal and deep- ening Neenah Channel on lower Fox River. Deepening Neenah Channel is no longer desired by navigation interests. The remain- ing 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 stand- point. The costs under the existing project were $871,724.01 for new work and $3,741,215.72 for maintenance including $1,258,- 124.11 for operating and care, a total of $4,612,939.73. The total expenditures were $4,618,405.75. 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 permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposedoperactions.-Thebalance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, including accounts receivable ($136,833.48), plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted will be applied as fol- lows: Accounts payable June 30, 1945 ----------------------------- $77. 11 Maintenance: Operation of U.

STURGEON BAY AND LAKE MICHIGAN SHIP CANAL, WIS. Location.-This improvement is on the west shore of Lake Mich- igan, distant about 52 miles northeasterly from Green Bay and about 128 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Sur- vey Chart No. 728.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873, and June 14, 1880. The United States assumed RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1719 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 miles: 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 north- west of the railroad bridge in the city of Sturgeon Bay and thence 500 feet to the vicinity of Sherwood Point; for a turning basin 20 feet deep, on the southwesterly side of the channel, southeasterly of the highway bridge, and between the city and the Bushman docks; 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 super- structure. 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 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 1945, was $736,- 300, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $80,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1720 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, provided that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent main- tenance as required for dredging the turning basin between the city and the Bushman docks. Negotiations for compliance are in progress. Terminal facilities.-As the canal and connecting channel is a through waterway, the only terminal facilities are in the city of Sturgeon Bay, 4 miles from the west end of the revetted portion of the canal. These facilities consist of four coal wharves, four ship- building yards, and one package-freight wharf. The city of Stur- geon Bay has provided a public wharf. There is also an inactive large stone wharf located about 5 miles northwesterly from the city of Sturgeon Bay. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 32,500 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth at a cost of $9,264.35. Placing 983 tons of stone as rip- rap along the north pier, in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, was completed at a cost of $2,126.26. Repairs to south revetment, including reinforcing and rebuilding of the substruc- ture where necessary, and backfilling, in progress at*the close of the fiscal year, cost $27,914.63. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $39,305.24 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $44,387.62. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was completed in 1942. No work has been done on the last modification of the project provid- ing for a turning basin between the city and the Bushman docks. The harbor entrance piers were completed in 1880, and the canal revetments in 1903. Dredging and rock removal at the easterly entrance to the canal and dredging the channel in the westerly section of the canal was completed in 1940. Deepening and widen- ing 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 $1,077,595.24 for maintenance, a total of RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1721 $1,802,898.24. The total expenditures were $1,811,724.93. In ad- dition, the sum of $425,259.17 (including $189,319.35 under previ- ous projects) was expended between April 25, 1893, and June 30, 1917, on the operating and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($92,244.32) plus an additional amount will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1945 ------------------------------ $291. 13 Maintenance: Operation of U.

ALGOMA HARBOR, WIS. Location.4Algoma Harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michi- gan, distant about 68 miles from Green Bay via Sturgeon Bay Canal and about 115 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 703.) Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873; March 3, 1875; July 5, 1884; and March 3, 1899. For further details see page 1935 of Annual Report of 1915 and page 1445, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an outer harbor 14 feet deep enclosed by a north pier, 1,102 feet long, extending approxi- mately normal to the shore, and a south breakwater, 1,530 feet long, extending from the shore at a point about 1,000 feet south of the remaining 481 feet of the pier on the south side of the chan- nel at the mouth of Ahnapee River, and for a channel of same depth as outer harbor, except where rock is encountered at less depth, extending from that depth in the lake up the river a distance of 1,000 feet from its mouth, a total length of about 2,100 feet; this channel varies in width from 175 to 80 feet at Second Street Bridge. The piers are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling and the breakwater of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling. The north pier and south breakwater have been provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Mich- igan, 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/ feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1907, was $140,000, RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1723 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1917) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1871 North pier or breakwater 1 Annual Report, 1871, p. 126.

The facilities are considered adequate for exist- ing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of taking soundings, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost and expenditure of $79.83 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1909. The north pier was completed in 1890, the south pier and breakwater and dredging in 1909. The north pier and south breakwater are in good condition. The south stub pier at the river mouth is in a dilapidated condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal yiar were 14.6 feet in the entrance channel to the outer end of south stub pier, decreasing to 11.5 feet to the coal wharf at the inner end of the north pier, thence 9 feet in a narrow channel to Second Street Bridge. The Ahnapee River is navigable for a distance of about 2 miles from its mouth for vessels drawing not more than 4 feet. The costs and expenditures under the existing project were $99,- 236.15 for new work and $245,362.07 for maintenance, a total of $344,598.22. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($4,500) plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Riprap breakwater and piers with United States plant, July 1945, 1,000 tons at $4.50-__-________- $4, 500 Sounding harbor, including care and supervision ------------ 1, 000 Total _--------- 5, 500 Dredging is required for maintenance of project dimensions of channel.

KEWAUNEE HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 105 miles northerly from Milwaukee and about 78 miles from Green Bay, via Sturgeon Bay Canal. The harbor is at the mouth of the Kewaunee River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 73.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. For further details, see page 1936 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1447 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a converging north break- water and shore connection about 3,130 feet long, removal of about 1,400 feet of the total length of about 1,850 feet of the north pier, a south pier about 1,850 feet long, an entrance channel of a general width of 525 feet, about 2,800 feet long and 20 feet deep, leading to an interior turning basin of the same depth; also for removal of the outer south shoal to a depth of 22 feet. The parallel piers are formed of stone-filled piling and are capped with concrete superstructure. The north breakwater is formed of concrete cais- sons and the north-shore connection is a rubble mound. 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 fluctua- tions of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1725 of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $690,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $10,000.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides two car-ferry slips, there is a coal wharf, a grain wharf, a shipbuilding yard, and several fishing wharves. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 22,320 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost and expenditure of $6,924.69 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 71 percent completed. The piers were completed in 1897 and are in generally good condition. The north breakwater and shore connection, except for a gap of 150 feet about 830 feet from the shoreward end, and the removal of the outer 706.5 linear feet of the north pier were completed in 1937. Dredging the entrance chan- nel and interior basin was completed in 1938. The work remain- ing to be done to complete the existing project consists of removal of the outer shoal and an additional 700 linear feet of the north pier, and closing the gap in the north-shore connection which is not considered necessary under present conditions. The control- ling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 20 feet in the entrance channel between the piers and over an area 500 by 500 feet in the turning basin. The Kewaunee River is navigable for a distance of about 61/2 miles above the mouth for craft drawing not more than 4 feet.

TWO RIVERS HARBOR, WIS. Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 82 miles northerly from Milwaukee and about 101 miles from Green Bay via Sturgeon Bay Canal. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 73.) RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1727 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 revet- ment about 450 feet long on the north side at the inner end of the channel and for a small stilling basin beyond the shore line on the north side of the channel. The piers are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, and have been provided with concrete superstructure; the pile revetment on north side of channel is also provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme 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, 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 South pier, 750 feet of north pier, and about 44 feet Annual Report, 1871, p. 123 (as modi- of north revetment.' fled by the Chief of Engineers Feb. 27, 1897).

The city has provided a wharf for public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 43,160 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $13,467.78 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $13,631.23. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 88 percent completed. The south pier, completed in 1883, and the north pier in 1908, are in good condition. 1728 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 The dredging was substantially completed in 1937. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is dredging a 10-foot width along each side of the lakeward portion of the en- trance channel between the piers. This dredging was necessarily omitted to avoid removal of riprap along the entrance piers and thereby endangering them. The present width of channel is con- sidered adequate for present and reasonably prospective com- merce. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 18 feet on the entrance bar and 18 feet in the channel between the piers and in the inner basin. East and West Twin Rivers are navigable for about 3 and 7 miles, respectively, from the harbor piers for craft drawing not more than 4 feet. The costs and expenditures under the existing project were $74,721.66 for new work and $498,915.74 for maintenance, a total of $573,637.40. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($6,683.32) plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U.

MANITOWOC HARBOR, WIS. Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant 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 chan- nel 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 approximately 1.7 miles, with widths of 180 feet at the mouth, reducing to 150 feet at the upper end, with inter- mediate 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 ter- minal on the lake front south of the shore end of the south break- water. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling, all of which are capped with concrete 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 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. 672607-46-pt. 1, vol. 2-33 1730 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1942 is $507,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $19,500.

Channel in the river_ _ _ __ _ __ Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 80, 74th Cong., 2d sess. (Con- tains latest published map.) 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 Sec- retary of War that such terminal will be constructed." The plan for the municipal terminal has been abandoned. All other require- ments have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-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 commodities. While these facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, it is believed the city should provide a suit- able wharf with warehouse and railway connection, which should be open to the general public. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 57,000 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $18,140 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $17,858.08. 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 completed in 1937. Dredging of the river channel was completed in 1942. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of dredging the approach channel in the outer harbor, which is not now desired by local interests. The control- ling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 21 feet in the channel through the outer basin and in the river to the second railway bridge. The costs under the existing project RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1731 were $436,752.02 for new work and $548,130.71 for maintenance, a total of $984,882.73. The total expenditures were $984,933.73.

SHEBOYGAN HARBOR, WIS. Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant 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 revet- ment on the north side of the channel at the mouth of the She- boygan River for a total length of 3,829 feet, and a south pier 2,750 feet long extendTng 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 channel, the widths to be 400 feet at the lakeward end and 500 feet through the turning basin, decreas- ing to 200 feet at the river mouth. The north breakwater is formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, 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 super- structure. 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 fluctu- ations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1733 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 of new work, revised in 1935, was $470,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $15,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 2, 1907 North breakwater__ H. Doc. No. 62, 59th Cong., 1st sess.

Terminal facilities.-These consist of several wharves used for handling coal, building material, fish, and miscellaneous commodi- ties. The city has provided a public wharf with warehouse. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 60,840 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth at a cost of $15,556.35. Placing 1,982 tons of stone as riprap along the south pier cost $6,678.66. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $22,235.01 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $22,721.78. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1938. The north breakwater was completed in 1915, the south pier in 1904, and the dredging in 1938. The piers and break- water are in good condition. The inner 260 feet of the south pier has been entirely removed and replaced with a revetment by pri- vate interests under permit granted July 16, 1931, by the Secre- tary of War. The pier is therefore 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 exist- ing project were $446,771.38 for new work and $587,215.80 for maintenance, a total of $1,033,987.18. The total expenditures-were $1,034,857.41.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1735 11. PORT WASHINGTON HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 53 miles south from Manitowoc and about 29 miles north from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 74.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 11, 1870, and was modified by the River and Harbor Act of August 14, 1876. For further details see page 1938 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1459 of An- nual 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 extend- ing a privately owned south breakwater about 456 feet into the lake to form an entrance 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 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 $875,000, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000.

ARMY, 1945 Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are two coal and building material wharves and several fishing wharves. The city has provided a wharf with warehouse which is open to public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations con- sisted of dredging 22,000 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $5,552.53. Placing 991 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater cost $2,543.82. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $8,096.35 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $8,220.63. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted 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 condi- tion. The original south pier, completed in 1893, was entirely removed in 1932 by private interests under permit granted Octo- ber 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 require- ments 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 feet. The area between the south line of the Government en- trance channel and the harbor face of the private coal wharf, which is maintained by private interests, had a controlling depth of 21 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 ( rand Haven, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 743.) Previous projects.-The original project for improvement of Milwaukee Harbor was adopted by act of March 3, 1843, and mo ii- fled by River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852; April 10, 1861; and March 3, 1899. The original project for the harbor of refuge was adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. The proj- ect of June 13, 1902, consolidating the harbor and harbor of refuge was modified by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905. For fur- ther details see page 1938 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1462 of Annual Report for 1938. 1738 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Existing project. This provides for a north breakwater 9,954 feet long and a south breakwater 9,671 feet, more or less, in length, extending 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, respectively; for a channel 21 feet deep, extending from that depth in the lake to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 2,850 feet, the width of channel outside the piers to be 600 feet; for dredging channels 21 feet deep in the rivers from the inner ends of the entrance piers to the North Humboldt Avenue Bridge on the Milwaukee River, to a point 100 feet west of the west line of North Twenty-fifth Street extended, on the Menom- onee River, and to the South Kinnickinnic Avenue Bridge on the Kinnickinnic River; for dredging to 21 feet, a portion of the outer harbor between East Wisconsin Avenue extended and East Bay Street extended, and easterly of a line 50 feet lakeward of the pier- head 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 breakwaters 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 super- structure. 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 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 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, was $4,773,000 exclusive of the amounts-expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $113,000.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1739 Local cooperation.-The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the original dredging of the outer harbor area be done by the city of Milwaukee, and the city of Milwaukee be reimbursed at actual cost but not to exceed 10 cents per cubic yard, place measurement, for original dredging done subsequent to the authorization of the work by Congress. Agreement covering the dredging was exe- cuted by the Secretary of War February 23, 1934, after this work was originally authorized as part of the Public Works program. The act of March 2, 1945, provided that no dredging of the river channels shall be done by the United States until local inter- ests have released the Government, in a manner satisfactory to the Secretary of War, from all liability for damages to lands, revetments, structures, and subaqueous installations attributable to the dredging operations. Negotiations for compliance are in progress. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides four car-ferry slips, there are numerous wharves, private and municipal, used for the handling of coal, grain, building materials, cement, petroleum products, and miscellaneous commodities. There is also a shipbuilding yard. As the facilities in the inner harbor are considered inadequate for existing commerce, the Milwaukee Harbor Commission is engaged in building an outer harbor. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 22,000 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth at a cost of $5,895.05. Placing 3,952 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater cost $12,581.68. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $18,476.73 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $20,462.65. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modifications of August 30, 1935, and March 2, 1945, was com- pleted in 1934. No work has been done on deepening the outer harbor area to 21 feet north of the inner entrance piers, nor on the last modification of the project providing for dredging the river channels to 21 feet deep. 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 com- pleted 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 damaged 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 dis- integration, and require repairs. The south breakwater and shore 1740 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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, $847,784.94 for maintenance, a total of $5,385,597.14. The total expenditures were $5,385,712.57.

RACINE HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 26 miles southerly from Milwaukee and about 64 miles northerly from Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 745.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the citi- zens of Racine about 1842 or 1843. The citizens' project was modified 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. It further provides for a chan- nel, through the outer basin, 23 feet deep from that depth in the lake to a point about 400 feet inside the entrance, thence 21 feet to a point about 750 feet westward of the outer end of the north stub pier, with widths of 350 feet at the entrance, increasing to 1,000 feet through the outer harbor and decreasing to 190 feet in the river to a point about 750 feet westward of the outer end of the north stub pier, the total length of channel being about 2,300 feet; thence a channel 19 feet deep in Root River to a point about 195 feet below the north line of Bridge Street extended, a distance of about 2,900 feet, with widths of 190 feet at the lower end re- ducing to 95 feet at the upper end, with intermediate reductions and enlargements; and removal of shoals, about one-half mile lakeward of the harbor entrance, to a minimum depth of 25 feet. The breakwaters and south stub pier are formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling, all being capped with concrete superstructures. The north stub pier is formed of stone- filled steel-sheet piling. 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 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 1945 was $771,000, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects and exclu- sive of inner 300 linear feet of pile pier and 450 linear feet of 1742 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 rubble mound, originally part of south breakwater but no longer considered necessary. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $28,000.

Local cooperation.-The act of August 26, 1937, provided that the dredging in Root River shall not be undertaken until local in- terests have released the United States from all claims for dam- ages to land and structures attributable to the work of improve- ment, 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 maintain suitable public wharf and terminal facilities on the river, open to the public on equal terms. Negotia- tions 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 35,770 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth at a cost of $9,520.14. Placing 983 tons of stone as rip- rap along the south breakwater cost $3,901.89. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $13,422.03 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $12,493.88. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modifications of August 26, 1937, and March 2, 1945, was sub- stantially completed in 1924. No work has been done on the re- moval of shoals and dredging the river channel, nor on the last modification of the project providing for widening and deepening the channel through the outer basin. 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 repairs. The south breakwater and shore connection and stub piers are in good condition. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 21 feet over the existing width of 650 feet through the outer basin, thence 15 RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1743 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 $403,362.19 for maintenance, a total of $1,056,- 382.23. The total expenditures were $1,070,499.28. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, including accounts receivable ($10,587.27), plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U. S. dipper dredge Kewaunee, July 1945 and June 1946 __ $14, 587. 27 Riprap breakwaters with United States plant, July-October 1945, 2,500 tons at $4------------------------------- 10, 000. 00 Total ----------------------------------------- 24, 587. 27 The new work dredging should be completed as soon as funds are available.

KENOSHA HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan distant about 35 miles southerly from Milwaukee and about 54 miles northerly from Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 74.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852, and inodified by River and Harbor Acts of June 23. 1866, September 19, 1890, March 3. 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1939 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1468 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a detached breakwater 796 feet long, for two parallel piers about 250 feet apart, 1,077 and 1,872 feet in length for the north and south piers, respectively, and for a channel 200 feet wide and 21 feet deep, from that depth in the lake a distance of 2,750 feet to an interior basin 21 feet deep. The breakwater 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 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 $71.550. exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $9,000.

SOUTH HAVEN HARBOR, MICH. Location.-Located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 77 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 24 miles northerly 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 entrance 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 fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level pre- vailing at the time. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1939, is $236 000, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest x1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $17,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1750 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." Ac- cording to latest information, no land will be required, as enlarge- ment 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 miscellane- ous commodities. The city has constructed a municipal wharf and warehouse. 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 exist- ing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 37,984 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $10,783.19 for maintenance. The total net expendi- tures were $10,944.96. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 87 percent complete. The piers were completed in 1913 and dredg- ing of the channel and existing turning basin in 1938. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of enlargement of the turning basin, which is not now desired by local interests. The piers and revetments are in generally good condi- tion. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 20.4 feet in the channel between the piers and 19.5 feet in the river and 16.8 feet in existing turning basin. The costs under the existing project were $204,047.38 for new work and $603,106.76 for maintenance, a total of $807,154.14. The total expenditures were $807,041.94.

SAUGATUCK HARBOR AND KALAMAZOO RIVER, MICH. Locatio.-Located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 90 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 22 miles northerly 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 Harbor Act of July 11, 1870. For further details see page 1947 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1475 of Annual Report for 1938. .1752 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel be- tween 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 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/ 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 mainte- nance is $9,000.

Recommended modifications of project.-Legislation authoriz- ing the abandonment of the project has been recommended in House Document No. 292, Sixty-fifth Congress, first session. Terminal facilities.-At the village of Saugatuck there are sev- eral landing places for small vessels and one for commercial ves- sels. At the village of Douglas there is a landing pier. The ter- minal facilities are available for general use and are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations con- sisted of taking soundings, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost and expenditure of $575.14 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1911. Pier construction and dredging between the piers was completed in 1908; dredging in the river was completed in 1911. The piers and revetments are in good condition. .The con- trolling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 11 feet in the channel between the piers and 8 feet in the river to Saugatuck. The costs and expenditures under the existing project were $274,294.80 for new work and $451,447.49 for main- tenance, a total of $725,742.29. RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1753 Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($424.86) will be applied to sounding harbor, care and supervision.

GRAND HAVEN HARBOR AND GRAND RIVER, MICH. Location.-The harbor is located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 108 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 23 miles northerly from Holland. The river rises in Jack- son 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 modified 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, diminishing 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 11/4 miles long to the car-ferry slip, with an enlargement at the upper end; thence 21 feet deep and 300 feet wide and 11/4 miles long from the car- ferry slip to the Grand Trunk Railway bridge at Ferrysburg; with a turning basin 18 feet deep on the south side of the channel just below that bridge; thence a channel 18 feet deep and gen- erally 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 171/2 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 1945, was $910,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $50,000. RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1757 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 ex- treme ,fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and bar- ometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time.

Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, provided that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent maintenance, when and as re- quired, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from widening the harbor channel above the car-ferry slip and dredging the turning basin below the Grand Trunk Railway bridge at Ferrysburg. Negotiations for compli- ance are in progress. Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip, there are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, petroleum products, 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.--Operationsconsisted of dredging 82,252 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, below the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, at a cost of $19,429.74. Dredging 142,902 cubic yards of material for restora- tion of project depth in the river above the Grand Trunk Railway bridge cost $21,518.50. Placing 1,973 tons of stone.as riprap along the piers cost $7,507.80. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $48,456.04 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $45,329.68. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was about 98 percent com- plete. The work remaining to be done under the project, prior 1758 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 to last modification, is a small amount of dredging on the north- erly side of the inner channel at the point of land 1,350 feet up- stream 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. No work has been done on the last modifi- cation of the project providing for widening the channel between the car-ferry slip and the Grand Trunk Railway bridge and dredg- ing a turning basin below that bridge. The piers and revetments were completed in 1893 and are in generally good condition except that the south revetment requires repairs. Dredging of that por- tion of the channel between the car-ferry slip and the Grand Trunk Railway bridge to a width of 200 feet, under the project, prior to last modification, was completed in 1930 with advanced 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 $1,833,842.74 for maintenance, a total of $2,581,567.21. The total expenditures were $2,580,236.91: Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($36,626.08) plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1945----------------------------- $1, 330. 30 Maintenance: Operation of U.

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 dredg- ing channel 380 feet wide at the entrance, thence increasing to 650 feet wide at a point about 300 feet inside the entrance, thence de- creasing toward the new pierheads to 500 feet wide and 240 feet wide between the piers, with depths varying from 24 feet at the harbor entrance to 21 feet at the shore line and in the inner chan- 1760 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 nel 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 concrete; 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 Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide in 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 $1,885,- 000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $26,000.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal 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 plants and several wharves used for handling coal, petroleum products, building materials, and mis- cellaneous commodities. 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.-Operations con- sisted of dredging 30,856 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $7,004.98. Placing 2;973 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater and backfill along the revet- ments cost $9,860.78. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $16,865.76 for mainte- nance. The total net expenditures were $16,998.15. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1938. The south breakwater and south-shore connection was completed in 1930. The north breakwater and shore connec- tion and removal of old piers was completed in 1931. Deepening and widening entrance channel was completed in 1932. Repairing the south revetment around the old car-ferry slip was completed in 1938. The outer 54 feet of the south breakwater were removed in 1939, thereby increasing the width between the outer ends of RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1761 the breakwaters to 555 feet. The south breakwater is therefore maintained for only a length of about 1,460 feet. The breakwaters and shore connections are in good condition. The inner piers and revetments are in fair condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 22.8 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 $522,832.16 for maintenance, a total of $2,423,754.23. The total expenditures were $2,424,409.32. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, including accounts receivable ($10,179.08), plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1945 ------------------------------ $79. 00 Maintenance: Operation of U.

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

Recommended modifications of project.-The project was rec- ommended for abandonment in House Documents Nos. 429, Sixty- RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1763 fourth Congress, first session; and 467, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session. Terminal facilities.-A number of small, privately owned wharves are grouped at the west end of Pentwater Lake. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of taking soundings, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost and expenditure of $75.11 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 78 percent completed. The north pier and revetment was com- pleted in 1885 for a length of 2,226 feet and the south pier in 1889 for a length of 1,847 feet. The dredging was completed in 1907. The piers and revetments are in good condition. The work remain- ing to be done to complete the existing project is a 200-foot exten- sion to the south pier which is not considered necessary under present conditions. The net length of the north pier and revet- ment is now 2,022 feet, 204 feet having been removed in 1931. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 11.4 feet in the entrance channel between the piers to Pent- water Lake. The costs and expenditures under the existing proj- ect were $179,899.10 for new work and $441,459.31 for mainte- nance, a total of $621,358.41. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($324.89) will be applied to sounding harbor, care and supervision. The available funds will be sufficient for maintenance of the project to June 30, 1947, and no additional funds can be profitably expended.

Location.-This harbor is located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 156 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 67 miles northerly from Grand Haven. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 774.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of August 5, 1886, August 11, 1888, and March 3, 1899. For further details see page 1951 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1491 of Annual Report of 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an exterior basin in Lake Michigan, formed by two breakwaters, each with main arm 1,800 feet long, 400 feet apart at the outer ends, diverging at an angle of 900, and with shore connections, 1,103 feet and 2,004 feet in length for north and south breakwaters, respectively; for the re- moval 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 connecting Pere Marquette Lake with Lake Michigan, the minimum navigable width being 150 feet and depth of 18 feet. The breakwaters 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 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 fluctuation of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/ feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1916, was $1,090,- 587, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000.

Terminal facilities.-Besides the main terminal of the Pere Marquette Railway Co., consisting of three car-ferry slips and a wharf with warehouses, there are several wharves used for han- dling coal, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 23,825 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth at a cost of $8,527.54. Removing 80 linear feet of north RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1765 revetment from channel cost $5,304.06. Placing 983 tons of stone as riprap along the north breakwater cost $3,489.76. Rebuilding or reinforcing substructure and rebuilding superstructure in con- crete on 590 linear feet of the north revetment, in progress at the close of the fiscal year, cost $39,213.76. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $56,535.12 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $81,230.09. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1918. The breakwaters were completed in 1911, the shore connections in 1914, the dredging in 1917, and the placing of addi- tional stone as riprap in 1918. The breakwaters and shore connec- tions are in good condition. The inner piers and revetments are in good to poor condition. The outer 100 feet of the south break- water 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 21.5 feet at lakeward end of the inner piers and thence 19.8 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 $905,420.07 for maintenance, a total of $1,941,506.00. The total expenditures were $1,966,200.97.

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, 250 RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1767 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 con- nection 1,185 feet long, north pier and revetment 2,797 feet long, and south pier and revetment 900 feet long. The breakwater, shore connection, and north pier 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 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 1945, was $647,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $22,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 2, 1867 Entrance piers_ Annual Report, 1867, p. 115.

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 satis- factory 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. The act of March 2, 1945, provided that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights- of-way for the construction of the new south pier and widening the river entrance channel to 250 feet, and subsequent maintenance when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from all claims for damages resulting from the work. Negotia- tions for compliance are in progress. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is a Government wharf and a pri- vate sand wharf on the north side of the river and a package- freight wharf with warehouse and a coal wharf on the south side. Industries on Manistee Lake have wharves used for handling coal, 1768 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 48,734 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth at a cost of $11,445.25. Placing 999 tons of stone as riprap along the north pier cost $3,806.81. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $15,252.06 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $16,475.61. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was about 96 percent complete. The work remaining to be done, under the project, prior to last modification, consists of dredging the river to project dimensions from about 800 feet below Maple Street Highway Bridge to Manistee Lake. This cannot be done until Maple Street Bridge has been rebuilt and until a large part of the river banks are revetted by private interests. No work has been done on the last modi- fication of the project providing for a new south pier and widening the river entrance channel. The north pier and revetment, com- pleted in 1893, and the south breakwater and shore connection, completed in 1920, are in generally good condition. Dredging of the outer basin and the river channel to a point about 800 feet below Maple Street Bridge was completed in 1940. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 23.5 feet in the outer basin, thence 21.4 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 $688,- 665.07 for maintenance, a total of $1,172,647.93. The total ex- penditures were $1,173,254.45. Proposedoperations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($27,345.68) plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U.

FRANKFORT HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 204 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 28 miles northerly from Manistee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 77.) Existing project.-This provides for an exterior basin in Lake Michigan, formed by two breakwaters, 450 feet apart at the outer ends, divergint at an angle of about 900, the main arm and the shore connection of the north breakwater being 972 and 1,000 feet in length, respectively, and the main arm and the shore connection of the south breakwater being 1,188 and 1,400 feet in length, re- spectively; for the removal of 801 feet of the north and 1,172 feet of the south pier; dredging the basin 20 feet deep and 800 feet wide at the entrance, decreasing toward the new pierheads to 600 feet wide; dredging the channel between the piers 18 feet deep to Lake Betsie (Aux Becs Seies) ; and dredging to a depth of 18 feet, to within 50 feet of existing structures, that area in Lake Betsie west of the east boundary of Fifth Street extended. The break- 1770 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 waters and shore connections are built of concrete caissons and piling capped with concrete. 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 Mich- igan, 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 1937, was $1,754,- 000. The latest (1937) approved estimated annual cost of main- tenance as $16,000.

Terminal facilities.-The railroad terminal, consisting of two car-ferry slips, is on the south side at inner end of the entrance channel. There are also several fishing wharves. The city has constructed a wharf on the north side of Lake Betsie available for boats of shallow draft. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 15,977 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth at a cost of $4,314.27. Placing 1,939 tons of stone as rip- rap along the breakwaters cost $7,286.16. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $11,600.43 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $12,141.05. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. Construction of the south breakwater and shore connection, removal of south pier, and dredging south half of chan- nel were completed in 1931. The north breakwater and shore con- nection and the remainder of the pier removal and dredging were completed in 1932. Dredging of the area in Lake Betsie was com- pleted in 1939. The breakwaters, shore connections, and inner piers and revetments are in good condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 25 feet at harbor entrance, thence decreasing through the outer basin to 21.2 feet at lakeward end of the inner piers and thence 21 feet in the RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 177-L channel between the inner piers and revetments to Lake Betsie. The depth over the dredged area in Lake Betsie was 18 feet. The costs under the existing project were $1,741,826.83 for new work and $474,236.47 for maintenance, a total of $2,216,063.30. The total expenditures were $2,216,603.92.

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 Frankfort. (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 construc- tion 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, respectively; 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 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 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 1935, was $60,000. The latest (1965) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance 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 proj- ect 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 light- house boats. All available dockage space is utilized. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of taking soundings, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost and expenditure of $283.51. for maintenance. 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1773 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 and expenditures under the existing project were $64,181.34 for new work and $17,178.11 for maintenance, a total of $81,359.45. Proposed operations.-Thebalance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($316.49) will be applied to sounding, care and super- vision of harbor. Dredging is required for maintenance of project dimensions of channel. Repairs to the stone mounds are required.

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 con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 6,327 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $2,820.95 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $3,276.18. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. The north pier and revetment of the lower chan- nel was completed in 1880, and the south pier and revetment in 1889. The revetments of the upper channel were completed in 1885, and the dredging of both channels in 1939. The piers and revetments of the lower channel are in generally good condition. The south revetment o'f 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 Charlevoix. The costs under the RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 4775 existing project were $82,223.04 for new work and $385,503.15 for maintenance; a total of $467,726.19.

S. ARMY, 1945 27. ST. JAMES HARBOR, BEAVER ISLAND, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located in a bay near the northeast corner of Beaver Island, which is in the northerly end of Lake Michigan, about equidistant from the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan, 42 miles westerly from the Straits of Mackinac and 32 miles northwesterly from Charlevoix, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 704.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a channel, 150 feet wide and 14 feet deep at low-water datum, through the north- westerly portion of the shoal which extends entirely across the northerly portion of a sheltered bay, to provide access to the deep water area in the northerly end of the bay. 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 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 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of Federal cost for new work, made in 1945, is $7,500, and $7,500 is to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 446, 78th Cong., 2d sess.) The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, provided that re- sponsible local agencies give assurances satisfactory to the Secre- tary of War that they will- (1) Contribute $7,500 in cash toward the first cost of,protective structures and dredging. (2) Provide and maintain, without cost to the United States and in accordance with plans approved by the Chief of Engineers, a suitable and adequate public wharf for the accommodation of transient vessels. (3) Establish a competent and properly constituted public body empowered to regulate the use, growth, and free develop- ment of harbor facilities (exclusive of Federal property) with the understanding that harbor facilities shall be open to all on equal and reasonable terms. (4) Hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and maintenance of the works. (5) Provide without cost to the United States, all lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way, necessary for the construction of the project, including suitable spoil-disposal areas when and as re- quired. Negotiations for compliance are in progress. Terminal facilities.-These consist of several small wharves used by the local fishing interests, one lumber wharf, and three package freight wharves with warehouses. While these facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, a suitable wharf open to all on equal terms should be provided. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1777 Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the existing project. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year, across the shoal area, was about 7 feet. There have been no costs or expenditures on the existing project. Proposed operations.-No operations are contemplated until such time as local cooperation requirements have been complied with.

WAUKEGAN HARBOR, ILL. Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 51 miles south of Milwaukee and about 38 miles north from Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 74.) Previous projects.-An appropriation was made by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852, for a breakwater. This work was abandoned. The original project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880, and modified by River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882. For further details see page 1940 of An- nual Report for 1915, and page 1508 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provided for- (a) A northerly exterior breakwater about 1,900 feet long ex- tending easterly from the shore 1,030 feet and thence southeasterly 870 feet to the outer end, forming a protected outer harbor. (b) Parallel piers, from the outer harbor to an inner basin, about 240 feet apart and 1,613 and 3,212 feet long for the north and south piers, respectively, the inshore end of the south pier diverging southward opposite the inner basin. (c) An entrance channel 390 feet wide and 22 feet deep extend- ing from that depth in the lake to the outer end of the north pier, reducing to a channel between piers 200 feet wide and 18 feet deep to the inner basin, an inner basin 18 feet deep, about 13 acres, pro- tected on the east side by a revetment 882 feet long, and an an- chorage area 8 feet deep, about 6 acres, in the southwest corner of the inner basin. 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 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 estimated cost of new work, revised in 1945, is $570,750, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, and excluding $20,000 (cost of bulkhead and boat stalls) to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $8,000, on completion of the project. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS--CHICAGO., ILL., DISTRPIC 1 1783 Acts Work, authorized Documents June 14, 1880 Parallel piers and basin 1 _ Annual Report, 1880, p. 1942.

Aban- donment of dredging the triangular area in the southwest corner of the inner basin to a depth of 18 feet. 1 Completed under previous projects. Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, provided that dredging of the anchorage basin shall not be commenced until local interests furnish assurances to the Secretary of War that they will remove the abandoned water intake pipes; construct an adequate bulkhead in front of the city park and in front of the adjacent United States property; furnish, free of cost to the United States, the land necessary for the anchorage area; release the United States from all claims for damages resulting from the improve- ment, and provide and maintain adequate mooring facilities. Terminal facilities.-These consist of a wharf 1,000 feet long, owned by the North Shore Coke & Chemical Co., equipped with a coal-handling tower, and two coal wharves and one fishing wharf owned by the city of Waukegan. The facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous sur- veys were made at a total cost of $78.42, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $132.75. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 94 percent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is dredging the entrance channel lakeward of the outer end of the north pier and dredging to provide an anchorage area in the southwest corner of 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 chan- nel to the outer end of the south pier and 18 feet to the remaining portion of the entrance channel and basin. Depths are based on soundings taken in May 1944, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean-water level in June 1945 was 2.34 feet above datum. The total cost was $1,369,084.05, of which $536,757.92 was for new work and $832,326.13 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $1,369,084.05. 1784 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Proposed operations.-Anticipated allotment of $2,000 will be applied to sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions by hired labor, during fiscal year 1946. The additional sum of $36,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 as follows: New work: Deepening channel from 18 to 22 feet and provision of 8-foot anchorage as authorized in 1945 river and harbor act _----- $34, 000 Maintenance: Sweeping channel and removal of obstructions_ --------------- 2, 000 Total ------------------------------------------- 36, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, ,1945______ _____-______---- $754, 991. 46 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945----------------____ 848, 037. 00 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945_________ 1, 603, 028. 46 Net total expenditures 603, 028. 46 1--------------------------------, Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945__.......1 , 603, 028. 46 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work__ Cost of m aintenance .. _........ $1, 605. 66 $1,286. 57 $1, 330. 35 $1, 950. 73 $78. 42 Total expended---------_ 2, 949. 49 1, 284. 24 1, 340.84 1, 896. 54 132. 75 Allotted -___ - -15, 000. 00 -17, 500. 00 1, 000. 00 - Balance unexpended July 1, 1944--------------------------- $132.75 Gross amount expended.------------------------- $135.49 Less reimbursements collected.--------------------- 2..74 132. 75 Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for comple- tion of existing project ----------- __-__--__-__ ______ 34, 000. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1947: For new work ------------- ____ 34, 000. 00 For maintenance-------------------- 2, 000. 00 Total -------------------- 36, 000. 00 2. CHICAGO HARBOR, ILL. Location.-NortheasternIllinois, 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 con- tinued under these projects until 1870. (For further details see p. 1941 of Annual Report for 1915 and p. 1510 of Anhual Report for 1938.) Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) An inner breakwater, all of timber cribs, inclosing an inner basin of about 224 acres in extent, the breakwater being in two RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1785 sections, 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 inclosing an outer basin of about 970 acres in extent, the breakwater being in three sections, exclu- sive of gaps, as follows: The shore extension at north end built of timber cribs and 2,250 feet long; the main exteriQr breakwater, built of timber cribs and 5,413 feet long; and the southerly exten- sion, 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 perpen- dicular 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 Mich- igan, 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 tempo- rary 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.

The latest published map of this harbor is in the Annual Report for 1914, opposite page 2924. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-The outer harbor terminals consist of two slips, one opening off from the main river, and one opening off from 1786 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 the inner basin; wharves, fronting on the river itself, and a munici- pal pier extending into the outer basin from the lake front at the outer end of Grand Avenue. The municipal pier is not available to commercial navigation. The outer harbor facilities are not entirely adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous sur- veys were male at a cost of $4,500.64, and a minus adjustment of 2,479 cubic yards, and costs of $898.36 were incurred for dredging, all maintenance. The expenditures were $6,721.26. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1923. The entrance to Chicago River has been improved by the construction of parallel entrance piers and dredging a 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; con- crete superstructure completed in 1934) is in good condition, ex- cept that minor repairs are necessary for a portion of the concrete superstructure. 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, completed in 1889; concrete superstructure completed in 1930), and the southerly extension (rubble mound, 2.227 feet, completed in 1917) and the south arm (rubble mound, 1,532 feet, completed in 1920; and concrete caisson, 1,185 feet, completed in 1923) are in good condition, except that some riprap is required. The shore arm (timber, 2,250 feet, completed in 1917), has deteriorated above the water line and the entire superstructure should be replaced with concrete. The north pier (concrete superstructure, 975 feet, completed in 1908) is in good condition. The controlling depth from the west 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 July and August, 1944, and are referred to low water datum. The mean water level in June 1945 was 2.34 feet above datum. The total cost was $5,305,963.75, of which $3,409,844.22 was for new work and $1,896,119.53 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $5,305,963.75. Proposedoperations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, amounting to $3,281.93, will be applied to sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions by hired labor.

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 Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, modified by acts of March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1942 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1513 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-.This provides for maintenance dredging to 21 feet below the hydraulic grade line, corresponding to low-water datum in Lake Michigan, of the main river from Rush Street to the junction of the North and South Branches (0.7 mile), the North Branch from the junction to North Avenue (2.22 miles), the North Branch Canal (1.04 miles), and the North Branch Turn- ing 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. 1788 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 All depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York, with due allow- ance for hydraulic grade resulting from the drainage canal. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1899, was $810,600, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1928) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $20,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 For project depth of 21 feet in lieu of that fixed by Specified in act. act of June 3, 1896.

Recommended modification of project.-On April 17, 1944, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the project for the Chicago River be modified to provide for a channel 9 feet deep between North Avenue and Addison Street; the channel between North and Belmont Avenues to extend to within 30 feet of existing bulk- heads and river banks; and then to Addison Street with a bottom width of 50 feet, at an estimated cost to the United States of $28,000 for construction and $15,000 annually for maintenance in addition to the amount now required, subject to the condition that local interests furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will hold and save the United States free from dam- ages which may result from construction and maintenance of the improvement (H. Doc. No. 767, 78th Cong.; 2d sess.). Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. 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 steamship lines, grain, coal, and lumber companies, and various other industries. They are more than adequate in extent for ex- isting 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 sur- veys were carried on at a cost of $3,146.61, of which $419.91 was a minus adjustment from the previous year. Net, cost was $2,726.70. Adjustment in yardage dredged resulted in a reduction RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO., ILL., DISTRICT 1789 of 5,733 cubic yards at a reduced cost of $2,884.54. Total expendi- tures were $77,176.46. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted 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, 21 feet; in the North Branch Canal, 21 feet. Depths in the turning basin are generally 21 feet to with- in 40 feet of the docks, decreasing to about 10 feet at the docks. Depths are based upon soundings taken in July and August 1944, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1945 was 2.34 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 $1,545,262.45, of which $544,678.70 was for new work and $1,000,583.75 was for maintenance. The total ex- penditures were $1,545,262.45. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($4,939.15) plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted will be applied to maintenance, sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions by hired labor, fiscal year 1946, $7,209.15. The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for sounding, sweeping, and removal of ob- structions by hired labor.

S. ARMY, 1945 4. CALUMET HARBOR AND RIVER, ILL. AND IND. Location.-NortheasternIllinois (Cook County), near the south- ern 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 Chicago, except for a part of the breakwaters and of the anchor- age behind 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 modi- fied August 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 further details, see page 1943 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1515 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) For an outer harbor protected by a breakwater extending eastward from the shore about 4,400 feet and thence southeasterly about 8,100 feet to the harbor entrance. (b) For an approach channel 3,200 feet wide and 28 feet deep through the shoals outside the breakwater. (c) For an outer harbor channel and anchorage area 3,000 feet wide and 26 feet deep. (d) For an entrance channel to the river 350 feet wide and 26 feet deep to the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway bridge. (e) For a channel in Calumet River of 200-foot minimum width, 25 feet deep to the Semet-Solvay wharf near One Hundred and Eleventh Street, thence 23 feet deep through the rock section to near One Hundred and Fourteenth Street, thence 21 feet deep to One Hundred and Twenty-second Street, and thence 21.5 feet deep to and including turning basin No. 5. (f) For widening and straightening the river channel, except through the rock cut, to within 20 feet of bulkhead lines now or hereafter established. (g) For five turning basins spaced along the river channel, of suitable size for turning the largest lake cargo vessels 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 tempo- rary 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 1945, is $9.110,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO., ILL., DISTRICT 1791 (1945) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $140,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1899 Outer harbor protected by breakwater Annual Report, 1896, pp. 2584 et seq., June 13, 1902 Outer harbor protected by breakwater ..... and H.

Local cooperation.-The act of March 3, 1905, required as a con- dition precedent to Federal expenditures upon any one of the five turning basins the donation to the United States of the land neces- sary for that turning basin and have either provided any necessary bulkheads or have released the United States from all damage to adjacent lands by reason of the excavation. As a result theland 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 approxi- mately $35,700. The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the widening of the channel 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 neces- sary bulkheads, or have released the United States from all dam- ages 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 orig- inal basin No. 3, and'reclaimed the area to provide land for plant expansion. The corporation 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 and its bulkhead. The United States had widened and deepened two portions of the east side of the river between the south end of the rock section and turning 1792 REPORT OF COHIF OF ENGINERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 basin No. 3, mile 4.7. Local interests donated the necessary land for the widening. 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 wharf- age facing on the entrance channel. These terminals are fully equipped and are considered adequate for existing commerce. Ad- ditional 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 drydocks, of which about 31,300 feet are in use. These wharves are owned and operated by various private and industrial concerns handling 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 exist- ing commerce. There are no public wharves on the Calumet River. Operations and results during fiscal year.-.New work.-Prepa- ration of definite project report was carried on at a cost of $315.94. Maintenance.-Miscellaneous surveys were carried on at a cost of $10,749.47. A total of 158,735 cubic yards was removed by contract at a cost of $93,291.14, and 1,010 tons of riprap were placed along a portion of the crib breakwater at a cost of $5,571.82. The total cost was $109,928.37, of which $315.94 was for new work and $109,612.43 was for maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $21,296.52. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 61 percent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the construction of turning basins Nos. 2 and 4, dredg- ing portions of the outer harbor, deepening, widening, and straightening the Calumet River, dredging an approach channel to the harbor through the shoals outside the detached breakwater, and closing the gap between the breakwaters. The timber break- water (6,712 feet, completed in 1904; concrete superstructure com- pleted in 1924) is in good condition, except that some riprap is required. 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 pre- decessors 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. The United States has widened and deepened the channel adjoining the new bulkhead except along the rock sec- tion, where the widening was done by the corporation. Depths in the entrance channel vary from 30 to 25 feet. The controlling RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO., ILL., DISTRICT 1793 depth in the river is 19.9 feet up to and including turning basin No. 5 at the head of the project. Depths are based on soundings completed in March 1945, and are referred to low water datum. The mean water level in June 1945 was 2.34 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. Depths in the portions to be dredged vary from 2 to 25 feet. The total cost, all funds, was $8,189,091.17, of which $2,565,- 458.77 regular funds and $3,036,603.05 Public Works funds, a total of $5,602,061.82 was for new work and $2,587,029.35 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $8,100,115.16, including $3,036,603.05 Public Works funds.

LAKE CALUMET, ILL. Location.-Northeastern 'Illinois (Cook County), within the southeasterly limits of the city of Chicago, just west of and con- nected by a short channel with turning basin No. 5, the landward limit of the project known as Calument Harbor and River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 755.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging areas A and B in the south end of Lake Calumet, including an entrance channel 300 feet in width from turning basin No. 5 to a depth of 21 feet. The project depth is referred to low water datum for Lake Mich- igan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Fluctuations in stage of the lake 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 tem- porary 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, made in 1933, was $460,500. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 180, 73rd Cong., 2d sess.), which document contains the latest published maps of the Illinois waterway. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are no facilities at the present time. The proposed terminal development will have adequate facilities for operation of a satisfactory lake-river transfer terminal. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous sur- veys were carried on at a cost of $2,750, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,750. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937 at a saving of $55,489 under the estimated cost. Depths in the channel from Turning Basin No. 5 on the Calumet River to the dredged area in the lake vary from 18 to 21 feet. Depths in the dredged area, about 56.5 acres, at the south end of the lake vary from 15 to 18 feet. Depths are based on soundings completed in December 1944 and are referred to low water datum. The mean water level in June 1945 was 2.34 feet above datum. Except in the dredged area. depths in the lake vary from 1 to about 10 feet, but in general are so shallow that no navigation is possible in the undredged portion except by very light-draft ves- sels. The total cost of the work was $407,761.57, of which $405,011.57 was for new work and $2,750 for maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $407,761.57. 1796 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Proposed operations.-An anticipated allotment of $3,000 will be applied to sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor during fiscal year 1946. The additional sum of $180,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 as follows: Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1947 -------------------------------- --- $5, 000 Dredging area at the south end of the lake and in the entrance channel between the lake and Turning Basin No. 5, by con- tract, July 1946 to November 1946 __________--------_-_ 175, 000 Total __________________________________ _- 180, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945------------------------ $405, 011. 57 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945--------------------- 2, 750. 00 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945________ 407, 761. 57 Net total expenditures------------------------------ 407, 761. 57 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945------------407, 761. 57 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work - -. - Cost of maintenance __ $2, 750 Total expended . _______ __2, 750 -------------- Allotted....... .. 2,750 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act approved Mar. 31, 1945---------------------------------- 2, 750. 00 Gross amount expended_------------------------------------2, 750. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1947 for maintenance--------------------------180, 000. 00 6. INDIANA HARBOR, IND. Location.-Northwestern Indiana (Lake County), on south- west shore of Lake Michigan, 18 miles southeast of Chicago Har- bor. (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 easterly reinforced concrete-caisson breakwater 1,507 feet long, an extension of this latter breakwater about 2,300 feet to the north and the construction and placing of a lighthouse crib. (b) An entrance channel generally 800 feet wide, with a depth of 28 feet at the outer end and 26 feet at the inner end. (c) Dredging the anchorage and maneuver basin in the outer harbor to a depth of 26 feet, and the channel between the bulk- headed 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO., ILL., DISTRICT 1797 (e) A channel 22 feet deep and 160 feet wide in the Lake George Branch from the forks to White Oak Avenue. (f) The maintenance of a channel 20 feet deep and 80 feet wide in the remainder of the Calumet River Branch south of the north line of One Hundred and Forty-first Street, except the removal of sewage deposits and other city refuse, after completion and accep- tance 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 maintenance by the United States. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, 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 tem- porary 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.

S. ARMY, 1945 Recommended modifications of project.-See modification rec- ommended for the project "Illinois Waterway," page 1803. Local cooperation.-The act of August 26, 1937, provides that the enlargement of the Indiana Harbor Canal shall not be under- taken until local interests have furnished a right-of-way 300 feet wide and have constructed substantial bulkheads along the chan- nel on the established lines shown on the map accompanying Rivers and Harbors Committee Document No. 13, Seventy-fifth Congress, first session, provided that the improvement on one side may pro- ceed 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 con- tinuously provided southward from the above limit of the turning basin at the Forks. To provide for the 300-foot channel, a parcel of land (of about 4.6 acres), generally 100 feet wide, lying on the east side of the Calumet River Branch, commencing at the north side of One Hundred and Forty-first Street and extending north- ward toward the Forks for a distance of about 2,107 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 bulk- head 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; the United States has widened and deepened the east side of this portion of the canal. Local interests donated the necessary right-of-way for the widen- ing. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is now in existence about 24,500 feet of wharfage along the main canal and its branches. Of this amount, about 19,500 feet along the outer harbor and the inner harbor channel are 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous sur- veys cost $3,193.70. A total of 209,629 cubic yards, scow measure- ment, was removed by contract at a cost of $95,955.09. The total cost was $99,148.79, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $99,168.85. 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, complete widening the Calumet River Branch from the Forks to One Hundred and Forty-first Street to the same width and depth, and complete deepening and RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO., ILL., DISTRICT 1799 widening to full project dimensions the upper 3,400 feet of the Lake George Branch. The north breakwater (rubble mound, 2,520 feet, completed in 1922) is in good condition except that some riprap is required. The east breakwater (concrete caisson, 1,507 feet, completed in 1926) and northerly extension (rubble mound, 2,324 feet, completed in 1935) are in good condition except that some riprap is required. 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 bridge and Dickey Place Bridge, and the United States has widened and deepened the channel adjoining this 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 companies to the five bridges, 26 feet with 22.6 feet at the five bridges; from the five bridges to the turning basin at the Forks, 20 feet; 24 feet in the turning basin; from the turning basin to a point about 1,000 feet south in the Calumet River Branch, 21.7 feet; from that point to the One Hundred and Forty-first Street Bridge, from 24 to 2 feet respectively; and from the turning basin to 1,000 feet above the Indianapolis 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 March 1945. Depths are referred to low-water datum. The mean level in June 1945 was 2.34 feet above datum. The head of navigation for commer- cial 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 2,200 feet from the Forks on the Calumet River Branch, about 2.5 miles from the outer harbor. The total cost, all funds, was $4,805,300.96, of which $3,187,- 256.47 were regular funds and $1,618,044.49 Public Works funds, a total of $3,628,688.22 was for new work and $1,176,612.74 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $4,805,225.62 including $1,618,044.49 Public Works funds. Proposed operations.-Thebalance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($49,100.62), plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1945 ------------------------------ _$75. 34 Maintenance: Sounding in the entrance to the canal between the bulkheads of the steel companies and in the canal; sweeping and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1946__ 5, 000. 00 Dredging to restore the project depth in the entrance to the canal and in the canal, under an existing contract, Aug. 20, 1945, to Sept. 20. 1945 ------- -- 40, 620. 00 Dredging to restore the project depth in the entrance to the canal and in the canal, by contract, April and May 1946 ------------------- ------------- 78, 750. 00 Contingencies ---------------------------------------- 14, 655. 28 Total ----------------------------------- 139,100.62 The additional sum of $283,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 as follows: 1800 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

MICHIGAN CITY HARBOR, IND. Location.-Northwestern Indiana (in La Porte County), on the southeasterly shore of Lake Michigan, 38 miles in a southeasterly RIVERS AND HARBORS--CHICAGO., ILL., DISTRICT 1801 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 r 4, 1836, and work was continued under this project until 1870., For further details see page 1944 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1524 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for: (a) A detached breakwater, east and west entrance piers, and a dredged channel, 120 to 150 feet wide and 18 feet deep, from Lake Michigan to the upper of two turning basins, which are also to have a depth of 18 feet. (b) The repair and restoration of the westerly 1,000 feet of the old east breakwater. (c) Dredging an anchorage shoreward of the restored section to a depth of 12 feet in the northerly portion and 8 feet in the southerly portion. (d) Enlarging the entrance to this basin through the east pier to a width of 66 feet. The prQject depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Mich- igan, 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 tempo- rary fluctuations of 0.1 and 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in barometric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, -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 con- sist 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 facili- ties are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous sur- veys were made at a total cost of $670.79, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,716.64. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in December 1936. Concrete superstructure, 1,304 feet, on the detached breakwater was completed in 1925, and on the en- trance piers in 1931. All structures are in good condition, except that some riprap is required. Under permit from the Secretary of War, the Northern Indiana Public Service Co. has removed 615 feet of the inner end of the west pier and about 719 feet of the bulkhead south of the pier and has replaced them with a steel sheet pile bulkhead, located landward of the former dock line. The area channelward of the new bulkhead was dredged by the permittee to 18 feet. Depths in the entrance channel up to the Franklin Street Bridge vary from 20 to 15 feet. Between the Franklin Street Bridge and the turning basin at the head of the project, the depths vary from 15 to 7 feet, in a channel about 60 feet wide, except in the draws of the Michigan Central Railroad Co.'s bridge, where the width is about 50 feet. The depths in the easterly half of the turn- ing basin at the head of the project are about 5 feet. The depths in the central portion of the basin vary from 3 to 5 feet. Avail- able anchorage depths in the outer basin are 12 feet in the north- erly portion and 9 feet in the southerly portion. Depths are based upon soundings taken during June 1944 and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1945 was.2.34 feet above datum. The head of navigation for com- mercial 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 $2,351,084.07, of which $1,212,385.20 was for new work and $1,138,698.87 for maintenance. Total expendi- tures were $2,351,084.07. Proposed operations.-Thebalance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($1,329.21), plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted will be applied to sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions by hired labor, during fiscal year 1946, $3,329.21.

ARMY, 1945 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 dredged materials. The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, modified the existing project subject to the following provisions: That the project thus adopted shall be in all its parts a navigable waterway of the United States, forever free to the public use of all, unencumbered by any tolls or restrictions of any kind whatsoever except such as may be imposed by Congress. That the State of Illinois shall proceed, subject to the supervision and approval of all expenditures and obligations by the Secretary of War, to construct the highway bridges at Brandon Road and Marseilles Canal, to make the neces- sary alterations in other highway bridges across the Illinois Water- way, to make the necessary arrangements and agreements for the alterations of the railroad bridges across said waterway, and to do such other work on said waterway as the Secretary of War shall direct and the available funds of the State make possible; the bridges mentioned not to become the property of the United States, and no obligations to be incurred by the United States to maintain, operate, or replace them. That no claim shall lie against the United States because of any contractual obligations which have been or may be entered into by the State of Illinois as regards the construction of a waterway between Utica and Lake Michigan (S. Doc. No. 126, 71st Cong., 2d sess.). The State of Illinois appropriated $20,000,000 for the construc- tion 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 oper- ating machinery and place in operating condition the three draw- bridges across the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal between its junction with the Calumet-Sag Channel and Lockport when di- rected by the Secretary of War. These requirements have been met and were accepted by the Chief of Engineers on January 30, 1935. RIVERS AND HARBORS--CHICAGO., ILL., DISTRICT 1809 The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, provides that local interests shall remove, reconstruct, or alter all highway bridges, which, in the opinion of the Chief of Engineers, constitute an un- reasonable obstruction to navigation across the waterways as follows: the Calumet-Sag Channel and the proposed Illinois Waterway portions of the Little Calumet River, Calumet River, Grand Calumet River, and Indiana Harbor Canal; and provides further, that local interests shall furnish without cost to the United States all land and easements necessary for the execution of the project, including the necessary areas for the disposal of spoil, with the exception of such land needed for the waterway as is now occupied by abutments or railroad tracks at the approaches to railroad bridges, rights over which lands shall be acquired by the United States as an incident to the alteration of the bridges; the lands and easements to be furnished by local interests to be such as to assure the full widths of channels described as follows: en- large the Calumet-Sag Channel to width of 160 feet and a usable depth of 9 feet; also enlarge the Grand Calumet River from its junction with the Little Calumet River to the Indiana Harbor Canal and thence north to One Hundred Forty-first Street, these widths to be available at all times for through navigation; and provides further, that the several sections of the proposed channel may be improved as separate units when considered advisable by the Chief of Engineers and when local interests shall have pro- vided the cooperation indicated above for any unit. Terminal facilities.-Of the 13 principal cities and towns along the Illinois River, about 5 own dock frontage, more or less im- proved for boat landings; 4 own dock frontage with no improve- ments; 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 Graf- ton and Morris and there are 2 grain conveyors at Peru where grain can be loaded directly into barges. Private coal-loading terminals are located 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 Kings- ton Mines and at Peoria, and molasses is unloaded from barges at a terminal at Peoria. Sand and gravel plants are located at Kings- ton 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., 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 672607-46-pt. 1, vol. 2-38 1810 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Crawford Avenue, Chicago. At Western Avenue, Chicago, bulk and package freight is handled through the North Pier River barge terminal. The State of Illinois barge terminal, including a 1,500,- 000-bushel grain elevator, is located at Damen Avenue, Chicago, on the South Branch of the Chicago River. Two sand and gravel distribution yards are located on the Calumet-Sag Channel.

A navigable channel now exists connecting the Mississippi River at Grafton with Lake Michigan via the Illinois and Des Planes Rivers, the Chicago Sanitary Canal, and the Chicago River, with a secondary outlet to Lake Michigan via the Calumet-Sag Channel, the Calumet and Little Calumet Rivers. The controlling depth of the river as it prevails, with a diversion of 1,500 cubic feet per second from Lake Michigan through the Chicago Sanitary Canal, is 9 feet during extreme low water. The limiting horizontal bridge clearance in the section Grafton to Utica is 114 feet. The limiting horizontal clearance which occurs at bridges between Utica and Lockport is 113 feet. The limiting horizontal clearance which occurs at bridges between Lockport and Lake Michigan via the Chicago Sanitary Canal and the Chicago River is 72 feet. The limiting horizontal clearance which occurs at bridges between Lockport and turning basin No. 5 in the Calumet River via the Chicago Sanitary Canal, the Calumet-Sag Channel, and the Calu- met River is 50 feet. Seven locks and six dams have been com- pleted. (See table under paragraph "Existing project" for description and percentage of completion.) The following work remains to be done: Installation of Tainter gate cofferdams at all dams, Starved Rock to Lockport; completion of construction of additional moor- ing and protection facilities in all pools; completion of flowage and remedial works; and dredging to provide a channel 9 feet deep and 300 feet wide, with adequate widening at critical points and bends to Lockport Ldck; enlargement of the Calumet-Sag Channel to a width of 160 feet and a usable depth of 9 feet; dredging of a channel 160 feet wide with a usable depth of 9 feet in the Grand Calumet River from its junction with the Little Calumet River to deep (lake) draft navigation at One Hundred Forty-first Street, 1812 REPORT OF CHIERF OF ENGINEERS, U.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT "1841 The Poe lock was operated and maintained under the permanent indefinite appropriation from August 3, 1896, the Davis lock from October 21, 1914, and the Sabin lock from September 18, 1919, to the end of the fiscal year 1935. The original State locks were operated and maintained under the same appropriation from June 9, 1881, to November 2, 1886, after which they were destroyed by excavation for the present Poe lock. The Weitzel lock, destroyed in 1942 by excavation for the Mac- Arthur lock, was operated and maintained under the same appro- priation from Septmber 1, 1881, to the end of the fiscal year 1935.

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 measured by the monthly mean levels. Since 1860 the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels above the 672607-46--pt. 1, vol. 2--40 1842 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 sev- eral 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 1945, is'$54,650,- 000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, including $693,000 for operation and care of the locks, is $797,300. 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 bal- ance of appropriations for the Davis lock. Removal of Bridge Island: The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, provided for the removal of Bridge Island and structures thereon to secure a depth of 27 feet at low water at an estimated cost of $850,000 for new work with no increase in the annual cost of operation and maintenance, and in connection therewith that- (a) The owners of the International Bridge be required to provide a lift span in place of the existing swing span over the South Canal upon request made by the Secretary of War and in accordance with plans, specifications, and conditions approved by the Chief of Engineers. (b) The United States participate in the cost of the bridge change by payment to the owners of a percentage of the actual cost of the alteration, such percentage to be adjusted by the Chief of Engineers between 77.5 percent if a span for Cooper's E-50 loading is constructed and 84 percent if a span for E-35 loading is constructed. On the basis of existing price levels the amount of the United States participation is estimated to be $562,000. New hydroelectric power plant: The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, provided for the construction of a new hydroelec- tric power plant in accordance with the plan recommended in House Document No. 339, Seventy-seventh Congress; provided: (a) That only the first step of the recommended development, involving an installation of approximately 14,000 kilowatts at an estimated cost of $3,500,000, shall be constructed at this time. and no further development in addition to said first step shall be undertaken until hereafter authorized by law: (b) That the existing United States hydroelectric power plant shall be abandoned upon completion of the new plant: (c) That the electric energy generated in the operation of the new plant shall be sold by the Secretary of War, and any surplus water available to the United States which is not required for the operation of the facilities owned by the United States may be RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTI ICT 1843 leased by the Secretary of War upon such terms and conditions as he shall determine: (d) That pending construction of the new United States plant the Secretary of War may enter into such arrangements for con- tinued operation of the existing Government plant and the use of water as he may deem advisable in the public interest. With reference to the project modifications for the removal of Bridge Island and the construction of the new hydroelectric power plant, the authorizing act of March 2, 1945, contained the general provision that no project therein authorized "shall be appropriated for or constructed until 6 months after the termina- tion of the present wars in which the United States is engaged unless the construction of such project has been recommended by an authorized defense agency and approved by the President as being necessary or desirable in the interest' of the national defense and security, and the President has notified the Congress to that effect :" The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July 11, 1870 Weitzel lock (replaced in 1943 by MacArthur Report by Maj.

Terminal facilities.-This improvement serves the through commerce 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 accommoda- tion of local traffic. Several coaling docks for through-traffic accommodation have been established at Sault Ste. Marie, Lime Island, and Detour. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work-Mac- Arthur lock.-Construction of foundations for emergency stop- logs for both the east and west ends of MacArthur lock was completed. Delivery of spare parts for lock machinery under contract was completed May 4, 1945. Grading, seeding, and top- soiling areas adjacent to MacArthur lock construction of side- walks, tar paving, and rehandling of materials temporarily stored on piers were in progress by United States plant and hired labor. Planting of trees to provide snow and wind breaks was completed. Reconstruction of southwest pier.-Installation of electric service system on southwest pier and construction of United States property line markers by United States hired labor were in progress. 1,200-foot extension to southwest pier.-Preliminary surveys, plans, and specifications were completed. Under contract, a tem- porary railroad siding, approximately 2,500 feet long, for use in delivering construction materials was completed. Construction of a 1,200-foot extension to southwest pier under contract was in progress, 1,435 cubic yards common excavation were removed, 51,179 cubic feet of timber framed, and other preparatory work accomplished. Materials being furnished by the Government were delivered to the site of the work. Reconstruction of Brady pier.-Under contract, 6,444 cubic yards of material were removed from behind Brady pier as an emergency measure to prevent the pier from falling into the ap- proach channel. Work was commenced July 26, 1944, and was completed August 29, 1944. Preliminary surveys, plans, and specifications for reconstruc- tion of Brady pier and construction of mooring basin and. new boathouse were completed. Under contract, work on these items RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1845 was commenced April 12, 1945, and was in progress throughout the remainder of the fiscal year, 61,200 cubic yards of common excavation were removed, 137,717 square feet of steel sheet piling and 21,392 lineal feet of wood piling were driven and 10,280 cubic yards of cell fill were placed. Materials being furnished by the Government were delivered to the site of the work. Improvement and reconstructionof South Canal.-Preliminary surveys, preparation of plans and specifications for improvement and reconstruction of South Canal were completed. Under con- tract, a cofferdam was constructed across the South Canal; 878 lineal feet of new concrete pier wall along southwest pier was constructed; movable dam sill in south draw and electric service tunnel across South Canal were removed to a depth of 27 feet below low-water datum; rock projections along face of west center pier from Poe lock to movable dam, along southwest pier, and Bridge Island were removed; 9,544 cubic yards of concrete were placed, 1,561 cubic yards of common excavation and 15,571 cubic yards of rock excavation were removed. Work under the contract was begun October 2, 1944, and was completed April 28, 1945. Maintenance.-The U. S. derrick boat Merganser removed a total of 5,970 cubic yards of material, scow measure, from the east and west approaches-North Canal, east approach-South Canal, course 1, Bayfield Channel and angle courses 1 and 2; from angle courses 5 and 6, course 6, angle courses 6 and 7 west Neebish Channel; course 6, angle courses 7 and 8, and course 9, middle Neebish Channel. Examination of existing channels and disposal areas by sounding and sweeping, and miscellaneous surveys were continued. Automatic water level gages were maintained, lake level records were compiled, discharge through power plants, navigation canals, and compensating works was computed and tabulated. Approximately 60 lineal feet of damaged guide wall at the West Neebish Rock Cut were reconstructed. Operating and care-St. Marys Falls Canal.-The canal was opened to navigation 296 days, from July 1, 1944, to January 14, 1945, and from March 25 through June 30, 1945. During that period a total of 20,743 vessels, aggregating 105,494,081 tons of freight and 6,693 passengers, passed through the MacArthur, Poe, Davis and Sabin locks in 15,663 lockages. The late closing of the canal during the winter of 1944-45 was due to the War Depart- ment's instructions to hold one lock open to make passage avail- able for Navy vessels being constructed at the head of the lakes. The canal and locks were operated as required, and necessary repairs and improvements were made thereto and to the appur- tenant structures and equipment. Under contract, emergency stoplog recesses, emergency stoplogs, and handling equipment were constructed and installed at the west end of the Poe lock, the work being completed April 28, 1945. Preliminary surveys, plans, and specifications for restoration of the park, grounds, and structures south of the MacArthur lock were completed.

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 dur- ing the winter months and the highest during the summer months. At the head of St. Clair River, as measured by monthly mean levels, the water may rise and fall each year during the navigation season as much as 1.3 feet. During the past 34 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 1945, is $6,069,300, including $2,900,000 for construction of submerged sills. RIVERS AND HARBORS---DETROIT, MICH., DISTRiC' 1 1855 The latest 1945 approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance of dredged channels is $63,400. No expense of maintenance will probably be required for submerged sills.

Mar. 2, 1945 Widening channel at Southeast Bend to 700 feet__ H. Doc. No. 309, 77th Cong., 1st sess. Recommended modifications of project.-Underdate of April 29, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project so as to provide for a cut-off channel about 31/2 miles long, in the vicinity of Southeast Bend, St. Clair River, Mich., with a depth of 25 feet at low-water datum and bottom width of 300 feet, at an estimated first cost of $2,500,000 with $10,000 annually for maintenance in addition to the amount now required (H. Doc. No. 309, 77th Cong., 1st sess.)'. In lieu of this recom- mendation the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provided for widening the existing project channel at Southeast Bend to 700 feet, which improvement has previously been under- taken and completed during the fiscal year 1943 as an emergency maintenance measure. Terminal facilities.-Thisimprovement 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.-The U. S. derrick boat Erie removed obstructions from the Southeast Bend during the period October 10-November 7, 1944, at a cost of $5,644.01. Sounding and sweeping surveys, including repairs to the triangu- lation system, were made by the U. S. Survey boat Wolcott, at a cost of $29,844.80. Costs during the fiscal year were $35,488.81, all for mainte- nance. Total expenditures were $33,936.27. New work costs dur- ing the fiscal year for Emergency Relief Administration adminis- trative expense in amount of $24.35, and $6,991.37 for preliminary surveys for submerged weirs are not included in the above costs and expenditures. Studies and preliminary surveys for submerged weirs were commenced in April 1933 and completed in August 1934. A model study was made by the Mississippi River Commis- sion at Vicksburg between April 1933 and December 1933. The report was submitted under date of December 18, 1933. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project, exclusive of the compensating works, was completed in 1937.

CHANNELS IN LAKE ST. CLAIR, MICH. Location.-Lake St. Clair is smallest of the Great Lakes. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 42.) Previous projects.-Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852, March 2, 1867, and March 3, 1873. For further details see page 2882, Annual Reports for 1896, and pages 1957- 1958, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1539, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 700 feet wide and 25 feet deep from the mouth of the south channel of the St. Clair River to the open channel in Lake St. Clair, thence increasing to 800 feet width for the same depth in a length of about 2 miles and maintaining such channel dimensions across Lake St. Clair to head of Detroit River; and for the construction of a stone-rip- 672607-46-pt. 1, vol. 2-41 1858 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 rapped earth dike, 7,221 feet long, on the east side of the mouth of the south channel of St. Clair River. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake St. Clair, which is 573.5 feet above mean tide at New York. As measured by monthly mean levels, the water may rise and fall dur- ing the navigation season each year as much as 1.4 feet. During the past 34 navigation seasons the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean level has been about 4.3 feet. Occasion- ally fluctuations due to winds of high velocity may be as much as 1 foot in 6 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $4,902,- 500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Burton worked in the easterly one-half of the lower 5 miles of the channel removing 77,586 cubic yards, bin measure, during the period July 2-22, 1944. The costs during the fiscal year were $24,498.96, all for maintenance. The total expenditures were $29,042.64. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1936. The construction of the easterly dike was com- pleted in 1892, the removal of the center dike in 1934, and the dredging in 1936. The dike is in fair condition.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRiCT 1861 The project depths are referred to local low-water datum planes which correspond to low-water datum for Lakes St. Clair and Erie, and are taken at 573.5 and 570.5 feet, respectively, above mean tide level at New York. Each year during the navigation season the river rises and falls about 2 feet as measured by the monthly mean levels. In the past 82 years the difference between the "highest and lowest monthly mean levels during the navigation season has been about 5 feet. Occasional fluctuations in depths of several feet, produced by high easterly or westerly winds, respectively, raise or lower the water level at the west end of Lake Erie, and similarly affect the level of the lower Detroit River; such changes have been as much as 6 feet within 8 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $21,659,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $87,500.

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 chan- nel 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. Operatidns and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. derrick boat Erie removed obstructions in rock areas to secure project depth in the Amherstburg Channel, 697 cubic yards, scow measure, of material being removed in cleaning up 45,425 square yards of channel to a depth of 21 feet. Total cost of derrick boat clean-up was $22,223.03. About 400 feet of the compensating dike between 1862 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Stony Island and the Livingstone Channel was partially repaired at a cost of $4,916.53. Examination of improved channels by sweeping and/or sounding was performed during the period July 1944 through June 1945 at a cost of $29,076.24. The U. S. hopper dredge Savannah removed shoals in the lower section of the Liv- ingstone Channel, 69,272 cubic yards, bin measure, being removed during the period July 26-August 14, 1944, at a cost of $19,263.84. The costs during the fiscal year were $75,479.64, for maintenance. The total expenditures were $71,945.07. Costs of new work were reduced $9,197.69, owing to settlement of a claim on a contract. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project, with the exception of the channel north of Belle Isle, was completed in 1941. The work done consists of dredging, rock excavation, and the con- struction of dikes and compensating works. The dikes are in good condition. The compensating dike between Stony Island and Liv- ingstone Channel has been badly eroded by severe storms from the southwest combined with a prolonged stage of high water.

CHEBOYGAN HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located on the lower reach of the Cheboygan River and is about 100 miles distant from Alpena, Mich., in a northwesterly direction. The river, which is 51/2 miles long, has its source in Mullet Lake, from which it flows in a north- erly direction, emptying into the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Huron. The improved portion is about 11/2 miles in length. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Previous projects.-The original project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details of previous proj- ects, see page 1956 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1546 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 181/2 feet deep and 200 feet wide from the Straits of Mackinac to the outer end of the west pier, and between lines parallel to and 25 feet from the docks from that point to the State Road Bridge, and thence 81/2 feet deep and 60 feet wide from this bridge to the lock in the Cheboygen River, and for a turning basin 15 feet deep, 400 feet wide, and 420 to 670 feet long on the east side of the existing project channel just below First Street. The length of the section included in the project is 11,720 feet, of which 6,000 feet are in the straits. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the level of the river rises and falls about 3 feet. From day RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1865 to day the level changes somewhat, due to wind and barometric pressure, such changes sometimes amounting to a foot or more. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, was $122,- 800, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $11,500. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 3, 1896 181-foot channel_ Annual Report, 1895, p. 2823. Mar. 2, 1907 8%-foot channel H.

Terminal facilities.-The harbor has one dock of about 1,000 feet length, which is privately owned but open to all vessels upon equal terms. There are also several other docks of less than 100 feet length which are privately owned and used. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. The outer end of the old slab pier on the western side of the entrance was riprapped in 1921. After-dredging sweeping surveys of September 1940 indicate project depth of 18.5 feet is available over the full channel width from the State Street Bridge to the Straits of Mackin.ac. Above the State Street Bridge a controlling depth of 5.5 feet, as indicate I by an examination made in 1936, is available to the upper limit of the improvement about 8,500 feet above the mouth of the river. Light-draft boats navigate a farther distance of 30 miles in a waterway improved by local industries under a State law. The costs for the existing project have amounted to $112,681.82 for new work and $89,474.77 for maintenance, a total of $202,- 156.59. The total expenditures were $202,156.59. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $1,000 will be expended for a sounding survey over the entire project sched- uled for October 1945. No work is proposed during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947.

ALPENA HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located on the northwest shore of Thunder Bay, Lake Huron. The river has its source in Mont- morency and Alpena Counties, Mich., and empties into Thunder Bay. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Previous projects.-Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of August 14, 1876, and August 2, 1882. For further details see page 1957 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1548 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep, from that depth in Thunder Bay to a point 2,500 feet lakeward of the lighthouse; thence 181/2 feet deep to the upper end of the Fletcher Paper Co. dock in Thunder Bay River; for channel width of 200 feet from the 21-foot contour in Thunder Bay to the outer end of the breakwater, thence tapering to 100 feet in a distance of about 500 feet, thence 100 feet to Second Avenue Bridge and thence 75 feet for 1,600 feet, to upper limit of the improvement; and dredging a turning basin opposite the Fletcher Paper Co. dock, 15 feet deep and about 160,000 square feet in area; for the protection of the channel on the south side by the construction of a rubble mound over a length of about 600 linear feet landward from the end of the old docks and by the construction of a rubble breakwater from the same point lakeward for a distance of about 370 feet. The total length of the river included in the project is 4,620 feet, and the improved channel extends 7,500 feet farther into the bay beyond the lighthouse. 1868 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the level of Thunder Bay River rises and falls about 31/2 feet. From day to day the level changes somewhat due to wind and bar- ometric pressure, such changes frequently amounting to more than a foot. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $340,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $7,500. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Sept. 19, 1890 Channel depth of 16'2 feet _ Annual Report, 1889, p. 2288.

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 61/2 feet deep to the junction with the Tittabawassee River, a distance of about 291/2 miles; and for a turning basin 15 feet deep by 360 feet wide, vary- ing from 690 feet to 420 feet in length, adjacent to the east side of the existing channel between Court and Bristol Street Bridges. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is taken at 578.5 feet above mean tide level at New York. Due to storms the level of the river at its mouth rises and falls about 3 feet. Spring freshets and excessive rains have caused an abnormal rise of as much as 14 feet at Saginaw. Occasionally a considerable change take 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 aggregate length of these docks is about 3,000 feet. Similar docks with a total length of about 1,500 feet 672607-46-pt. 1, vol. 2-42 1874 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 are located in the upper river at Saginaw. In addition, the Chev- rolet 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 constructed by the owners opposite the latter two docks. These terminal facilities are adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Contract dredging for the removal of shoal material above the 16.5-foot grade in the channel between the Sixth Street and Pere Marquette Railroad Co. Bridges and between Court and Bristol Street Bridges, includ- ing dredging to 15 feet in the turning basin was commenced Sep- tember 23, 1944, and completed June 29, 1945, material in the amount of 154,486 cubic yards, field measure, being removed. The U. S. hopper dredge Meade operated over the lake section during the period August 8-September 13, 1944, removing material in the amount of 53,332 cubic yards, bin measure, at a cost of $30,057.76. The costs were $81,448.47 for maintenance, and the total expendi- tures were $77,269.99. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in April 1942. Maintenance dredging by contract has re- stored project depths of 16.5 feet and 15 feet in the upper river and turning basin, respectively. Shoaling has reduced the depth in the 21-foot channel in the bay section to 19.5 feet over a width of about 100 feet.

HARBOR OF REFUGE AT PORT AUSTIN, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located on the west shore of Lake Huron at the extreme eastern limit of Saginaw Bay, about 29 miles across the bay from the mouth of the Au Sable River (Oscoda). (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Existing project.-,This provides for a harbor of refuge at the mouth of Bird Creek, consisting of a harbor basin dredged to a depth of 10 feet protected by breakwater structures and for dredg- ing an entrance channel to the harbor basin to a depth of 12 feet. The project depths are referred to low water datum for Lake Huron, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The estimated cost for new work made in 1945, is $172,100, ex- cluding $172,100 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1945) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $750. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945. For latest published map see House Document No. 446, Seventy-eighth Congress, second session. Local cooperation.-The improvement authorized by the act of March 2, 1945, is subject to the condition that responsible local agencies give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will- (1) Contribute $172,100 in cash toward the first cost of pro- tective structures and dredging. 1876 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

HARBOR OF REFUGE AT HARBOR BEACH, LAKE HURON, MICH. Location. This harbor is located on the west shore of Lake Huron about 60 miles north of Port Huron, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Existing project.-This provides for the formation of a harbor of refuge protected by stone-filled timber-crib breakwaters-the main breakwater being 4,716 feet long, the north one 1,204 feet long, the original north entrance, 304 feet wide, being reopened to a depth of 10 feet, and the south breakwater 1,956 feet long; for dredging the main entrance, 600 feet wide, to a depth of 23 feet; RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1877 and for dredging an anchorage area approximately 3,000 feet long by 1,200 feet wide to-a depth of 21 feet. The project depths are referred to a stage 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The normal elevation of the water surface in Lake Huron varies from year to year. During each year the level is subject to a seasonal rise and fall, the lowest stages prevailing during winter and the highest during summer months. Such yearly changes, measured by monthly mean levels, may be as much as 1.8 feet. During the past 33 navigation seasons the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels during the navigation season has been about 4.9 feet. Occasional fluctuations, due to winds of high velocity, may be as much as 2 feet in 8 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1917, was $1,658,- 550. The latest (1917) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1871 Adopted the site and made provision for the Annual Report 1873, p. 292. harbor.

Jan. 21, 1927 Removal of portion of breakwater in thb interest of sanitation. Terminal facilities.-There is but one dock about 500 feet long. This dock, privately owned, is open to all vessels upon equal terms and is considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1928. The work consisted in the construction of three breakwaters, the dredging of an entrance channel. and the dredg- ing of an anchorage area about 72 acres in extent under the pro- tection of the breakwaters. The breakwaters were originally built in 1885, and since that time it has been necessary to top them with concrete and to protect about 6,170 feet of the outer face with heavy riprap. The north entrance was closed by rubble mound in 1920 and reopened to about 10 feet depth in 1928. Dredging was completed in 1922. The harbor has controlling depths of 20.5 feet at its entrance and about 18 feet within the anchorage area, as shown by survey of 1939. The breakwaters are in fair condition, except that riprap along lake face of main breakwater needs repair and some fenders on harbor face of main breakwater need replacing. The costs and expenditures have been $1,200,598.17 for new work and $1,469,741.74 for maintenance, a total of $2,670.339.91. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $1,000 will be expended for a sounding survey over the entire project sched- uled for October 1945. No work is proposed during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947. 1878 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 south- easterly direction into the St. Clair River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 43.) Previous projects.-Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, and August 11, 1888. For further details see page 1441 of Annual Report for 1916, and 1554 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 20 feet deep from deep water in St. Clair River to the Grand Trunk Western Rail- road bridge, 160 feet wide at the mouth, decreasing to 100 feet about 800 feet from the mouth, thence 100 feet wide for 2,600 feet, 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. 1880 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 (1945) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $13,400.

Local cooperation.-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) Remove the existing Tenth Street Bridge, or replace it with a satisfactory structure. (4) Furnish satisfactory assurances that the United States will be protected from all claims for damages incident to the improve- ments. None of the above requirements have 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 improvement 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-United States hopper dredge Meade removed a shoal above the Tenth Street Bridge, during the period July 7 and 8, 1944, material in the amount of 2,314 cubic yards, bin measure, being excavated. A sounding sur- vey was made over the entire project during April 1945. The costs were $2,393.34, all for maintenance, and expenditures were $1,981.67. RIVERS AND HARBORS--DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1881 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: 17 feet over the center 50 feet of the channel from the mouth of the Black River to the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge; thence 19 feet over the center 50 feet of the settling basin past the Port Huron Sulphite and Paper Co. docks to the upper limit of the project.

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 resolution of April 11, 1898 (H. Doc. No. 138, 55th Cong., 2d sess., and Annual Report for 1898, p. 2605), and the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907 (H. Doc. No. 289, 59th Cong., 1st sess.). For further details see page 1530 of Annual Report for 1932, and page 1558 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for the following: (a) A channel 21 feet deep from that depth in Detroit River through the Short Cut Canal, 400 feet wide at the entrance, taper- ing 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 distance 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 4 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 dur- ing floods, changes with the level of the Detroit River, which fluctuates to an average extent of about 1.5 feet during the naviga- tion season. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $820,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $56,900. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS---DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1883 Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 11, 1888 17-foot channel 1-................ .................

Including Emergency Relief Administration work authorized May 28, 1935. Local cooperation.-The act approved August 30, 1935, pro- vided that no Federal expenditures should be made on the improve- ments 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, pro- tecting the United States against all damages to adjacent lands and property which may result from dredging operations. Except for the guaranties protecting the United States against damages to adjacent lands and property along the 25-foot channel, this re- quirement 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 handling 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 pulpwood dock, and two lumber docks. There are also a number of smaller docks for launches. All docks along the river are privately owned and understood to be restricted to use of the owners. These facilities are considered adequate for exist- ing commerce. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-The United States hopper dredges Burton and Meade operated over the entire project during the period July 9-August 29, 1944, removing ma- terial in the amounts of 114,345 and 76,159 cubic yards, bin mea- sure, respectively, at a cost of $54,403.86. The U. S. hopper dredge Meade commenced dredging operations for the 1945 season on June 18, 1945, and removed material in the amount of 25,855 cubic yards, bin measure, at a cost of $8,760. A prior to maintenance dredging survey was, made over the entire project at a cost of $3,155.68. The costs were $66,319.54, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $57,025.64. New work costs during the fiscal year for Emergency Relief Ad- ministration administrative expense in the amount of $47.90 are not included in total costs and expenditures shown above. This amount pertains to work of a previous fiscal year. 1884 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The 21-foot project via the Short Cut Canal to the upper limit of improvement was completed in 1923. The work consisted of dredging and 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 performed with funds allotted from the Emergency Relief Ad- ministration. Due to the shortage 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 improvement of the old channel, is held in abeyance until local interests have complied with the terms of local cooperation. The controlling depth in the 21-foot project is 21 feet for a minimum width of 125 feet over the center section of the Short Cut Canal and River to the turning basin with depths of 20 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 is 19 feet, thence 18 feet in depth to the 25-foot section which has project depths of 25 feet along the Hanna Furnace Co. dock. All the bridges have been altered in accordance with the re- quirements of law. The turning basin at the head of the project has been completed. The dolphins at the mouth of the Short Cut Canal are in poor condition, and, as they are not utilized by navi- gation interests, further maintenance is not considered justified and the dolphins should be removed. The head of navigation is determined by a fixed bridge about 2,600 feet above the upper limit of improvement.

S. ARMY, 1945 19. 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 distance of about 3,800 feet. The project also provides for rip- rapped protecting dikes on each side of the channel extending lake- ward 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 1945, is $777,500, excluding $300,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $35,000.

TOLEDO HARBOR, OHIO Location.-This harbor comprises the lower 7 miles of Maumee River and the channel about 9 miles long through Maumee Bay to Lake Erie. The Maumee River has its source in northern Indiana and empties into Lake Erie. The harbor is located at the westerly end of Lake Erie,, 99 miles westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 3.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866, June 14, 1880, July 5, 1884, August 5, 1886, July 13, 1892, and August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1959 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1565 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 25 feet deep and 500 feet wide from deep water in Lake Erie to the mouth of the Maumee River, with a width of 300 feet on each side of center dike in the bay channel; for a channel 25 feet deep in Maumee River to the 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 turning basin at the upper end, 18 feet deep and 8.25 acres in area; and for a stone-revetted earth dike, 1,000 feet long, to form a 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. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 4 feet above to 2 feet below 672607-46-pt. 1, vol. 2-43 1890 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 H. Doe.

(Con- project the auxiliary channel above Fassett St. tains latest published map.) Bridge. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The city of Toledo has provided a lagoon near the mouth of the river suitable for the winter mooring of vessels. Three large railroad terminals for the handling of ore and 4 for coal are open to shippers of these commodities; 1 fuel dock and 3 docks with elevator facilities for handling grain. Three pipe-line docks for shipment of oil, 1 pipe-line dock for receipt of gasoline, and 3 fish docks are private. Two package-freight ter- minals are open to all vessels on equal terms. Considerable wharf frontage is owned by railroads, which is available for the trans- shipment 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 adequate for existing commerce . Operations and results during the fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredges Taylor, Burton, and Savannah, operated over the entire project during the periods, July 26-October 23, September 29- October 10, and August 15-October 13, 1944, removing material in the amounts of 355,484 cubic yards, 35,273 cubic yards, and 243,217 cubic yards, respectively; the costs were $82,612.67, $10,495.80, and $53,896.92, respectively. A field office was main- tained for supervision of the harbor and miscellaneous surveys and inspections at a cost of $7,192.79. The costs were $154,198.18 for maintenance and the expenditures were $151,883.30. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1936. Maintenance dredging has restored project depths over the center 400 feet of the lake section and in the river chan- nel with about 16 feet available in the turning basin. Continuous heavy shoaling usually results in a controlling depth of about 23 feet over the 25-foot project by the close of the season. The dike carrying the range lights in Maumee Bay has deteriorated to the point where repairs will soon be necessary.

PUT-IN-BAY HARBOR, OHIO Location.-This harbor is located on the north side of South Bass Island, in Lake Erie, about 38 miles east of Toledo, Ohio. (See United States Lake Survey Chart No. 3.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel of varying width, not exceeding 225 feet, and 14 feet deep from that depth in the lake to a point 150 feet west of the Fox wharf; thence 100 feet wide and 8 feet deep along the harbor frontage to the vicinity of Miller's wharf, a further distance of 1,600 feet, provided that no dredging shall be done by the United States closer than 25 feet to existing structures. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is taken at 570.5 feet above mean tide level at New York. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 1.3 feet above to 2 feet 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, made in 1937, is $50,000, with $500 annually for maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 132, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The project document contains the latest published map. Terminal facilities.-There are 25 docks in existence at this locality; 3 of these docks are commercial wharves, the others being used for tying small pleasure craft, commercial livery boats, and commercial fishing boats. The Fox dock and the Dollar dock are used by vessels carrying passengers and small package freight, while the Dodge dock is used for receipt of coal brought in by barges. None of the wharves has any mechanical equipment for handling freight. All of the docks, except one, are privately owned and are open to all vessels upon equal terms. The facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1893 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1939 and project depths were available throughout at that time. The cost and expenditures were $51,746.56, all for new work. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $1,000 will be expended for a sounding survey over the entire project sched- uled for July 1945. No work is proposed for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947.

PORT CLINTON HARBOR, OHIO Location.-Port Clinton Harbor comprises the lower half mile of the Portage River, which empties into Lake Erie at a point 72 miles westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. It is from 200 to 300 feet wide. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 3.) Existing project.-This provides for parallel stone and pile jet- ties at the mouth of the river, the east jetty 2,200 feet long and the west jetty 1,980 feet long, extending to the 10-foot contour in the lake, and for dredging a channel to a depth of 10 feet and 100 feet wide, widening at the bridge to 200 feet for a length of 800 feet, the length of the channel to be 5,000 feet, extending from 2,100 feet outside the jetties up to the highway bridge. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctu- ations of water level are from 3 feet above to 2 feet below low- water datum, and extreme fluctuations produced by wind and other causes are from 6.5 feet above to 3 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1883, was $90,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $5,000. 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. 1894 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Terminal facilities.-There are five private docks and one public fish dock, one private sand dock, and one public fueling dock which is also used as a private lumber and cargo coal terminal. One dock, at the foot of Madison Avenue, is owned by the village of Port Clinton and is open to the public. One shipyard does some busi- ness in the building of small boats and launches. Terminal facili- ties are regarded as adequate for the needs of existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1893. The work done consisted in the construction of two jetties, completed in 1883, and in dredging a channel from the lake to the highway bridge, completed in 1893. Project dimensions were available over the entire channel following maintenance dredging in 1942. 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, 633. 36 Total -------------------------------------------- 131, 583. 22 Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $1,000 will be expended for a sounding survey over the entire project sched- uled for July 1945.

ARMY, 1945 26. SEBEWAING, SEBEWAING RIVER, MICH. 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 north- east of the mouth of Saginaw River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Existing project.-This provides for the enlarging of the pres- ent channel of the Sebewaing River, through the village of Sebewa- ing, 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 occur- rence 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 approved 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 5 for requirements. Local inter- ests have signified their willingness to cooperate in the plan of improvement. Operations and results during fiscal year.-During the fiscal year, contract plans and specifications for the authorized flood plan of improvement were substantially completed and the approved program for stream gaging was continued. Costs for the fiscal year were $2,067.01 for the preparation of plans and specifications and $800 for stream gaging, a total of $2,867.01. Expenditures for the fiscal year were $3,123.65. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction work has been done. For preparation of initial plans and contract plans and specifications and for stream gaging the costs and expenditures have been $7,017.95. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($1,182.05) will be applied as follows: New work: Preparation of contract plans and specifications-___----___-_ $382. 05 Stream gaging program_--------------- -- -------- 800. 00 Total ---------------------------------------------- __ 1, 182.05 Funds in the amount of $241,800 can be profitably expended for construction of the project during fiscal year 1946 or 1947.

SANDUSKY HARBOR, OHIO Location.-This harbor is located in the southeasterly portion of Sandusky Bay, 55 miles westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 365.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 11, 1844; June 23, 1866; March 3, 1873; July 5, 1884; August 11, 1888; and August 18, 1894. (For further details, see p. 1960 of Annual Report for 1915, and p. 1574 of Annual Report for 1938.) Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) An outer 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. 1902 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 (b) A channel along the water front about 7,800 feet long, 300 feet wide, and 22 feet deep ending in a turning basin generally 800 feet wide and 22 feet deep, and a. dike constructed with the ex- cavated rock on the north side of the channel and basin. (c) Maintaining a channel to a depth of 22 feet from the turn- ing basin northward about 3,540 feet, that portion opposite the Pennsylvania Railroad coal wharf to a width of 350 feet, and north thereof to a width of 400 feet; thence 300 feet wide north- eastward through Sandusky Bay about 7,700 feet, to a junction with the straight channel; no dredging to be done within 50 feet of the face of the wharf. (d) Protection works consisting of a stone jetty on the easterly side of the channel extending nprtheasterly from Cedar Point, a distance of 6,000 feet, with suitable pierhead; a short stone spur at Cedar Point; and revetment of the slope adjacent to the channel in the vicinity of the inner front range light with a brush-and- stone mattress. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluc- tuations 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 (1945) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $57,700. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1899 Construction of channel protection works .----- H. Doc.

Local cooperation.-Maintenanceof the bay channel is subject to the provisions that local interests furnish free of cost to the United States as and when required all lands, easements, rights- of-way and spoil areas; and hold and save the United States free RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1903 from claims for damages resulting from the improvement. These conditions have not been complied with. Prior conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is an extensive coal terminal ad- jacent to the turning basin at the westerly end of the dock channel open to shippers of coal. Located on the dock channel are 12 private terminals for the handling of coal, stone, sand and gravel, fish, miscellaneous freight, and passengers. The city of Sandusky owns a pier and 2 small boat basins. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 8, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 73,882 cubic yards of material for resto- ration of project depth in the channels and basin at a cost of $57,754.85 for maintenance. The expenditure was $58,188.21. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935. The protecting works are generally in good con- dition except the easterly 2,000 feet of the stone jetty which has settled from its original elevation of 4.3 feet to about 1 or 2 feet above low-water datum. The controlling depth in the straight and outer channels and basin is 21 feet, and in the dock channel 20 feet at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $3,457,075.86 of which $2,597,258.21, including $599,500 Public Works funds was for new work and $859,817.65 for maintenance. The total expendi- ture was $3,457,470.86 including $599,500 Public Works funds. In addition, $325,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the ac- counts receivable at the end of the fiscal year ($1,954.47) plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Dredging straight and outer channels by United States hopper dredge, April and May 1946------------------$17, 600.00 Sweeping channels and removing obstructions by Govern- ment plant, August 1945 and May 1946----------------- 5, 054. 47 Total ------------------------------------- ------ 22, 654. 47 Redredging and sweeping are required annually.

Local Cooperation.-Dredging of 20-foot turning basin is sub- ject to the provision that local interests furnish without cost to the United States necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way and spoil disposal areas for new work and maintenance when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from all claims for damages incident to the construction and subsequent maintenance of the improvement. These conditions have not been complied with. Prior conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-One iron ore and one coal terminal, to- gether with dock space for storage of sand, transshipment of lumber, etc., to or from cars, are open to the public. Extension docks of the National Tube Co. handle iron ore, limestone, and RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1909 sand, and are not open to the public. Two sand and two fish docks are privately owned. The American Shipbuilding Co. has dry- docks and facilities for building and repairing the largest lake vessels. The city of Lorain owns a public dock without rail con- nections which is open to the public. The facilities are regarded as adequate for existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 8, re- vised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Con- tract operations for enlarging the turning basin in the Black River opposite the National Tube Co.'s dock were completed in 1944 at a cost for the year of $834.46. Maintenance.-Governmentplant and hired labor removed 230,- 658 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 $68,996.10. The total cost for the year was $69,830.56, of which $834.46 was for new work and $68,996.10 for maintenance. The total ex- penditure was $123,905.41. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 94 percent complete. An outer harbor has been provided by con- structing breakwaters and pierheads completed in 1915, except the extension of the west breakwater to shore, which was com- pleted in 1921. A channel through the outer harbor to the entrance to Black River was deepened to 25 feet in 1937; also a channel 16 feet deep to the municipal pier was provided in 1936. The entrance to the river has been improved by the construction of parallel piers completed in 1909. Widening of two bends in the river was completed in 1934. The river channel and turning basin opposite the National Tube Co.'s dock were deepened to project depths in 1937 and 1938 and the turning basin widened in 1944. The work to be done to complete the project consists of deepen- ing the remaining portion of the outer harbor and the turning basin immediately upstream from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co.'s coal dock. The controlling depth was 25 feet in the channel through the outer harbor, 24 feet in the river channel to the upper end of the National Tube Co.'s dock, 13 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 $3,315,076.45, of which $2,544,790.79, including $165,000 Public Works funds, was for new work and $770,285.66, including $76,300 Public Works funds, for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,316,744.31, in- cluding $241,300 Public Works funds. In addition, $3,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the ac- counts receivable at the end of the fiscal year ($27.106.85) plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted will be applied as follows: 1910 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

CLEVELAND HARBOR, OHIO Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of Cuyahoga River, 176 miles westerly from Buffalo, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 354.) Previous projects.-Adopted by acts of March 3, 1825, June 23, 1866, March 3, 1875, August 5, 1886, and August 11, 1888. For further details see page 1962 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1585 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) Outer harbor 5 miles long and 1,600 to 2,400 feet wide, enclosed by a breakwater system, comprising an east breakwater 21,270 feet long, with a pierhead at its easterly end, of which 3,300 feet is of timber-crib substructure with stone superstructure and 17,970 feet of rubble-mound construction, and a west break- water connected with the shore, 6,048 feet long, of timber crib. 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 pierheads at their lakeward ends. (d) Two parallel stone-filled timber-crib piers with concrete superstructure, 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, easterly from a line drawn perpendicular tothe east main break- water, beginning 800 feet easterly from the westerly end therecf, 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 dredging closer than 40 feet to existing bulkheads except where 1912 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 necessary at bends extending in Cuyahoga River from below the New York Central bridge, the upstream limit of the 25-foot proj- ect, southward to a point about 100 feet below the middle Wheel- ing and Lake Erie railroad bridge No. 3 a distance of about 51/2 miles, with a turning basin 18 feet deep about 1 mile below the project limit, and in Old River from its junction with the Cuya- hoga 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. (h) A turning basin 21 feet deep in Cuyahoga River, just below the project limit, with a'maximum width of 700 feet, no dredging to be done within 40 feet of existing bulkheads. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 3 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum and extreme fluctuations produced by wind and other causes are from 4.5 feet above to 1 foot below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $6,636,- 600. The latest 1945 approved estimate of cost for annual main- tenance is $297,000.

Local cooperation.-Wideningof the channels in the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers is subject to the conditions that local interests defray all costs of the modification or rebuilding of bridges, bulk- heads, other structures and submarine crossings, grant easements free of costs 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 under- take 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 ap- proved except for the remaining parts of cuts 1, 3, 4, and 5. The act of March 2, 1945, provides for the 1,300-foot extension of the 21-foot channel in Cuyahoga River subject to the condition that responsible local agencies give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will: (a) Furnish without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil disposal areas necessary for the initial work and for subsequent maintenance, when and as required; (b) bear the expense of all necessary bulkhead and utility construction and alteration; and (c) hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the work; provided further that the improvement on either side of the channel extension may proceed when the terms of local cooperation for that side have been met. These conditions have not been complied with for the left side of the extension looking downstream. The right side of the extension was completed in 1942 as a Defense Plant Corporation project. The act of March 2, 1945, also provides for the 21-foot turning basin in the Cuyahoga River subject to the condition that local interests furnish free of cost to the United States all necessary lands, hold and save the United States free from all claims for damages, and make all necessary changes to structures and sub- marine crossings. The site of the turning basin is now occupied 1914 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 by a steel plant owned by the Defense Plant Corporation, and compliance with required conditions is not probable. All prior 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 com- modities 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 existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 5, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 119,997 cubic yards of material at a cost of $71,057.64 and contract was completed for the removal of 148,501 cubic yards of material at a cost of $62,739.51 for restoration of project depth in the outer harbor and entrance channel. Maintenance of Cuyahoga and Old Rivers was continued and 384,408 cubic yards of material were removed by contract at a cost of $205,532.37. The Cleveland storehouse and reservation were policed at a cost of $1,781.16. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $341,110.68. The total expenditure was $347,- 888.08. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 95 percent complete. The river entrance channel has been im- proved 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, completed in 1908. The outer harbor was deepened, 1933 to 1935, to 25 feet at low-water datum throughout the west basin, in the entrance channel, and over a portion of the east basin adjacent to the -entrance channel; over the remaining portion of the east basin a depth of 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 con- struction 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 break- water in 1917 in lieu of the east-end pierhead. Providing a 1,300- foot extension of the Cuyahoga River channel to the present proj- ect limit was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, and partially completed with Defense Plant Corporation funds during 1942. The breakwaters require extensive repairs. RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1915 Deepening the remainder of the channel extension and the 21- foot turning basin just below the project limit, and widening portions of the Cuyahoga River below the Clark Avenue high level bridge remain to be done to complete the project. The controlling depth in the main entrance channel, through the west basin, and between the piers was 24 feet and in the chan- nel through the east basin, 22 feet. Depths elsewhere in the east' basin within the project area range from 10 to 30 feet. The con- trolling depth in the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers was 21 feet, and in the lovwer turning basin, 18 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $10,794,627.68, of which $6,322,603.64, including $616,767.03 Public Works funds, was for new work and $4,472,024.04, including $125,000 Public Works funds, for maintenance. The total expenditure was $10,- 749,718.84, including $741,767.03 Public Works funds. In addition, $50,000 was expended from contributed funds for main- tenance.

(d) Removal of the old west pier and construction of a cellular steel-sheet pile bulkhead 500 feet long and 300 feet west of the westerly face of the east pier. (e) A depth of 25 feet in soft material and 26 feet in hard material in the outer harbor. (f) A channel in Grand River 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide extending from the outer harbor a distance of 2,000 feet upstream from the outer end of the east river pier; thence of the same depth with a width of 150 feet to the angle in the ore terminal, a farther distance of 1,700 feet; and thence with a depth of 21 feet, and with widths varying from 200 to 100 feet for a distance of 4,000 feet to the end of the stone receiving terminal of the Diamond Alkali Co., with a turning basin 18 feet deep, 760 feet long, and 400 feet wide about midway in this section. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluc- tuations of water level are between 3 feet above and 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 4 feet above to 1 foot below that plane. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1937, is $2,623,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1944) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $77,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1918 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, requires local interests to contribute $304,000 toward the cost of extending the breakwater 4,000 feet and dredge the channel of approach to their terminal at their own expense. The River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930, waived the condition requiring local interests to contribute to the cost of the breakwater extension. The condition requiring dredging has not been com- plied 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 limestone 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 439,670 cubic yards of materials from the outer harbor and river channel for restoration of project depths at a cost of $106,970.74 for maintenance. The expendi- ture was $109,966.72. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1940. The controlling depth is 24 feet in the outer harbor, 24 feet in the river channel for 2,000 feet upstream from the outer end of the east pier, thence 21 feet in the river channel upstream to the project limit, and 18 feet in the turning basin. All depths are referred to low-water datum. The harbor works are generally in good condition except that the breakwaters require minor repairs. RIVERS AND HARBORS---BUFFALO, N.

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 breakwaters, the west breakwater 7,780 feet long, and the east breakwater 4,400 feet long, all of rubble-mound construction, ex- cept 430 feet of the west breakwater, which consists of timber- crib substructure and stone superstructure. (b) A west ifierhead of timber-crib substructure and concrete superstructure. (c) An east light foundation located 600 feet easterly from the west pierhead, consisting of a concrete superstructure founded on the outer end of the rubble-mound east breakwater. (d) The removal of 250 feet of the old inner east breakwater and of such additional lengths as may be necessary. (e) An entrance 28 feet deep between existing breakwaters 600 feet apart; thence a channel of 25-foot depth and 1,100-foot maximum bottom width through the outer harbor to the old inner east breakwater; thence 24 feet deep to the mouth of Ashtabula River; thence a channel 24 feet deep with a bottom width of 160 feet to a point 2,000 feet upstream; thence a channel 18 feet deep (except where ledge rock may be encountered) with a bottom width of 160 feet decreasing to 100 feet and suitably widened at the southerly end, to the upper car-ferry slip; thence a channel 16 feet deep (except where ledge rock may be encountered) with a bottom width of 100 feet suitably widened at bends and in the turning basin, to the southerly end of the turning basin; thence a channel 16 feet deep with a bottom width of 100 feet to a point RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1921 1,550 feet upstream of the turning basin; also an approach chan- nel 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 rbor between the deepened channel and a meridian line through e 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. Ordi- narily fluctuations of wateil level are between 3 feet above and 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, pro- duced by winds or other causes, are from 4 feet to 1 foot below low-water datum. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1945, is $2,940,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $56,000.

Doc. No. 321, 77th Cong., 1st sess. limit. 1 Authorized by Public Works Administration Sept. 6, 1933. 2 Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.-Extension of the Ashtabula River channel upstream of the turning basin is subject to the provisions that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will deepen to a like depth and maintain the area between the channel and the bulkhead and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages. These conditions have not been complied with. Prior conditions have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are three iron ore and two coal terminals with an aggregate developed dock frontage of 18,500 672607-46--pt. 1, vol. 2--45 1922 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 feet, all open to the public. There is also a car-ferry terminal, two privately owned fish docks, one privately owned stone dock, one 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 p it and hired labor removed 196,874 cubic yards of materialsTor restoration of project depths in the outer harbor and river channel at a cost of $55,197.97 and made minor repairs to the west break- water at a cost of $14,629.89. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $69,827.86. The expenditure was $69,882.81. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 97 percent complete. The west breakwater was completed in 1915 except 580 feet of the inner end which was completed in 1923, and 600 feet of the outer end which was completed in 1935. The east breakwater was completed in 1915; 800 feet of the westerly end was removed, and a lakeward extension of 700 feet was completed in 1935. The old inner east breakwater 1,200 feet long was com- pleted 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 west breakwater between points 2,300 and 600 feet from the outer end where the lake side slope stone has disintegrated and the core stone is being washed out by lake action, is in need of major repairs. The remainder of the harbor structures are generally in good condition and require minor repairs. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of deepening the upper 1,550 feet of the river channel and 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 25 feet in the channel through the outer harbor lakeward of the inner breakwater, 24 feet shoreward there- of, 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 turn- ing basin. The total cost of the existing project was $3,545,226.82, of which $2,854,004.24, including $536,648.38 Public Works funds, was for new work and $691,222.58 for maintenance. The total expendi- ture was $3,547,781.77, including $536,648.38 Public Works funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the ac- counts receivable at the end of the fiscal year ($79,809.27) plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted will be applied as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N.

CONNEAUT HARBOR, OHIO Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Conneaut River, 7-3 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 further 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 rub- ble-mound construction and 1,050 feet of timber cribs with concrete superstructure. (b) A west breakwater pierhead of timber-crib substructure with concrete superstructure. (c) An east breakwater light foundation of concrete super- structure founded on the outer end of the rubble-mound. (d) An entrance 600 feet wide between the west breakwater pierhead 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 ma- terial 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 west- erly 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 fluctuations of water level are between 3 feet above and 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUIUALO, N. Y.,- DISTRICT 1925 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 (1944) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $44,- 000.

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 considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 9, 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor repaired the west breakwater and the east pier at a cost of $29,143.85 for the year, and removed 131,779 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the outer harbor at a cost of $34,088.33. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $63,232.18. The total expenditure was $67,192.95. 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 breakwater, 1,050 feet long, was extended shoreward 800 feet (completed 1911) and lakeward 900 feet (completed 1923). The 1,670-foot shore arm to the west breakwater was completed in 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 1926 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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. A channel through the outer harbor was dredged to 25 and 26 feet in 1938. The inner 1,200 feet of the west breakwater has settled approxi- mately 6 feet to an average elevation of 4 feet above low-water datum. The inner 300 feet was built up to its original elevation during 1941-43. At several places along the remainder of the west breakwater the lake side slope stone is disintegrating. Other harbor structures are generally in good condition. The controlling depth in the channel through the outer harbor is 25 feet below low-water datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to deepen a 320-foot wide strip on the westerly side of the deepened channel through the outer harbor to 25 feet in soft material and 26 feet in hard material, and to deepen the remainder of the outer harbor to 20 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $3,728,050.61, of which $3,270,446.92, including $1,010,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $457,603.69 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,733,262.29, including $1,010,500 Public Works funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the ac- counts receivable at the end of the fiscal year ($74,744.75) plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Repairs to east pier by Government plant, July 1945 $2, 145. 00 ------- Sweeping the outer harbor and removing obstructions by Government plant, July and August 1945-------------- 2, 333. 75 Repairs to the west breakwater by Government plant, July to September 1945 ------------------------------------ 50, 490. 00 Dredging outer harbor by contract, September and October 1945 ---------------------------------------------- 21, 976. 00 Dredging outer harbor by United States hopper dredge, June 1946 ----------------------- 8, 800. 00 Total ----------------------------------------- 85, 744. 75 Completion of the outer harbor to project dimensions should be done, redredging and sweeping are required annually, and repairs to the west breakwater are necessary.

ERIE HARBOR, PA. Location.-On the southerly side of the bay formed by Presque Isle Peninsula, on the south shore of Lake Erie, 78 miles westerly from Buffalo, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 332.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of May 26, 1824, and modifications were subsequently made by approval 1928 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 entrance channel to a line 50 feet outside of the pierhead line at the ore terminal, suitably widened at the junction with the en- trance channel. (c) A harbor area 21 feet deep, approximately 117 acres, ex- tending westerly from the 600-foot channel for a distance of about 2,100 feet to a line perpendicular to the harbor line 200 feet west of the city dock, with its southerly side 50 feet from the harbor line. (d) An approach channel 23 feet deep and 300 feet wide from the 25-foot channel to and including a turning basin of the same depth 1,200 feet long by 1,000 feet wide at the westerly docks. (e) An additional harbor area 18 feet deep, of about 35 acres, extending westerly from the 21-foot area and northerly from the harbor line off the public dock to natural deep water in the bay. (f) For harbor entrance piers 360 to 450 feet apart, of the timber crib type, with concrete superstructure extending to the 14-foot contour 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 extensions lakeward to be made when required to meet advance of said contour. (g) 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 emer- gency 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. Ordi- nary fluctuations 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 1945, is $1,269,- 300, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $41,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N.

Local cooperation.-Providing an approach channel 23 feet deep, including a turning basin, to the westerly docks is subject to the condition that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will: provide and maintain a coal dumper and slip so that full utilization can be made of the improvement; lower the waterworks intake line where necessary; and hold and save the United States free from all claims for dam- ages incidental to the work or maintenance thereof. These con- ditions have not been complied with. Prior conditions have been fully 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 ele- vator, 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 facili- ties are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operationsand results during the fiscal year.-Contractopera- tions for construction of shore protection works on Presque Isle Peninsula were completed in 1944. This shore protection consists of the repair of the southerly 2,500 feet of the rubble mound faced steel sheet piling bulkhead, north of beach No. 2, constructed by the United States in 1930; and the construction of 2,750 feet of rubble mound protection at the root of the peninsula between Kelso groin and the rubble mound protection constructed by the United 1930 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 States in 1920 and 1921. The above work was performed at a cost of $140,114.68. Surveys off shore of the peninsula were made by hired labor at a cost of $825.29. Government plant and hired labor removed 109,706 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the channels and basins at a cost of $37,878.62. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $178,818.59. The total expenditure was $280,732.46. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 61 percent complete. The breakwater and piers were completed in 1915. A 3,050-foot section of rubble mound protection work on the peninsula was completed in 1921, 5,281 feet of steel sheet piling protection work with stone facing were completed in 1930, and two experimental 300-foot stone groins and about 1,385 feet of stone protection work at beach No. 2 were completed in 1943. The construction of 2,750 feet of stone protection work, just north of the Kelso groin, was completed in 1944. The 18-foot harbor basin was deepened in 1900. Widening and straightening of the entrance channel was completed in 1936. The deepening of the entrance channel and the approach channel to the easterly docks to 25 feet, except for small triangular areas along the southeasterly and southwesterly limits of the approach channel, was completed in 1939. The 21-foot harbor basin was deepened in 1940. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of dredging an approach channel and turning basin to the westerly docks, deepening the remaining portion of the approach channel to the easterly docks, and the conditional extension of the piers. There is a controlling depth of 25 feet at low-water datum in the entrance channel and in the approach channel to the docks at the easterly end of the harbor, 15 feet to docks at the westerly end, and 21 feet to the public docks, foot of State Street. The total cost of the existing project was $3,114,411.19, of which $767,275.02 was for new work and $2,347,136.17 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,101,082.87. In addition, there was a cost and expenditure of $148,500 from contributed funds for maintenance.

(e) Channels in Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal with depths of 22 feet in earth and 23 feet in rock to the upper Dela- ware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Co. bridge and to the Lehigh Valley Railroad canal, respectively, with widths generally of 150 and 125 feet, respectively, without dredging closer than 25 feet to dock lines except at bends, and with the rock ledge just above the Ohio Street Bridge cut back approximately 13 feet. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordi- nary fluctuations of water surface are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations due to wind and other causes about 9 feet above and 31/2 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $8,172,- 600, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $172,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1936 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-Deepening the south portion of the harbor and the south entrance channel to 25 feet, and removal of 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 terminal 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. The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, modified the above requirement to permit deepening and maintaining to 23 feet of the shallow undredged strip along the breakwater and the tri- angular area in the southerly outer harbor until such time as local interests meet prescribed local cooperation for dredging to 25 feet. The act of March 2, 1945, provides further that no Federal funds shall be expended on the improvement of the Buffalo River Entrance Channel and Buffalo River and the Buffalo Ship Canal RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1937 until responsible local interests furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will construct necessary bulk- heads at the rock ledge just above Ohio Street Bridge, deepen and maintain the areas lying between the channel and bulkhead lines in front of principal terminals, furnish all necessary lands without cost to the United States, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improve- ment and its subsequent maintenance. Assurances have not as yet been received. 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 companies 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, re- vised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 77,306 cubic yards of material from the outer harbor and Buffalo River entrance at a cost of $37,523.26, removed obstructions from the Buffalo River at a cost of $3,729.60, and made repairs to the Old and South breakwaters at a cost of $18,950.54. Maintenance of Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal by contract was continued and 168,469 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost for the year of $98,106.87. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $158,310.27, including $50,000 from contributed funds. The total expenditure was $136,467.59, including $50,000 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 33 percent complete. 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 breakwater in 1893, and the south pier in 1869. The 23-foot project area in the outer harbor and the north-end entrance 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 Terminals 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 Buffalo 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 removal to 27 feet of three small shoals on the direct ap- 672607-46-pt. 1, vol. 2-46 1938 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 proach to the south entrance, and the deepening of the north entrance channel to 25 feet in earth and 26 feet in rock, the Buffalo River entrance and Buffalo River and Ship Canal to 22 feet in earth and 23 feet in rock, and the completion of deepening of the 25-foot project area in the southerly part of the outer harbor and the remainder of the 23-foot outer harbor area, all to project depths. The total cost of the existing project, United States funds, was $5,346,643.86, of which $2,652,568.33, including $655,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $2,694,075.53 for mainte- nance. The total expenditure was $5,288,905.36, including $655,- 500 Public Works funds. In addition, there was a cost and expen- diture of $340,000 from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($99,093.94) plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1945 -------------------------- $57, 738. 50 Maintenance: Final costs for dredging Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal, by contract __________ $4, 200. 00 Dredging, sweeping, and removing obstructions from Buffalo River entrance and dredging outer harbor by Government plant, July 1945 and May and June 1946 -------------------- 40, 600. 00 Repairing the South and Old breakwaters by Gov- ernment plant, September and October 1945___ 7, 800. 00 Repairing the southerly part of the south pier by Government plant, September and October 1945 13, 800. 00 Remove obstructions in north entrance and Buffalo River entrance channels by Govern- ment plant, September 1945 ------------------ 3, 455. 44 Sweeping and removing obstructions in Buffalo River by Government plant, June 1946-------- 1, 500. 00 Dredging Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal, by contract, April to June 1946 ------------- 50, 000. 00 121, 355. 44 Total ---------------------------------------- 179, 093.94 Removal to a depth of 24 feet of three shoals in Lake Erie on the approach to the south entrance; deepening portions of the southerly outer harbor to 23 feet; advance planning; and deepen- ing of the north entrance and Buffalo River entrance channels, and the Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal to project depths should be done. Redredging and sweeping are required annually and repairs to the breakwaters are necessary.

BLACK ROCK CHANNEL AND TONAWANDA HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-This improvement is essentially that of the upper 131/2 miles of the Niagara River from its head at Lake Erie, Buf- falo, N. Y., to and including Tonawanda Harbor, N. Y. It com- prises the improvements formerly designated by three titles, viz, Lake Erie entrance to Black Rock Harbor and Erie Basin, N. Y., Black Rock Harbor and Channel, N. Y., and Tonawanda Harbor and Niagara River, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 312.) Previous projects.--Lake Erie section, none. The original proj- ect for Black Rock Harbor and Channel was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1829. The original project for Tona- wanda Harbor and Niagara River was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. For further details see items 5 and 7, page 1970, of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1612 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep from Buffalo Harbor, north entrance channel, to opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, total length 131/2 miles, as follows: from Buf- 1942 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 falo north entrance channel to the foot of Maryland Street, Buffalo, a distance of about 4,200 feet, about 1,000 to 500 feet wide, with a short branch channel leading to Erie Basin; 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 Tonawanda waterworks intake crib, a distance of about 4.7 miles, widened to 500 feet opposite the Wickwire Spencer Steel Co.'s plant by the removal of 200 feet of the westerly end of Rattlesnake Island Shoal; thence 400 feet wide to the foot of Tonawanda Island opposite Second Avenue, North Tonawanda, a distance of 5,000 feet, ending in a turning basin about 1,230 feet long and 1,250 feet wide extending to a point opposite Sixth Avenue. The project also provides for the removal of rock shoals from the Lake Erie entrance to the canal and in the canal south of Ferry Street Bridge, to a depth of 22 feet; for a channel 16 feet deep, 6,800 feet long, and generally 400 feet wide in Tonawanda Inner Harbor; for a channel 16 feet deep, 1,400 feet long, and generally 180 feet wide in Tonawanda Creek; for a ship lock at Bridge Street, Buffalo; for a bridge over the canal at Ferry Street, Buf- falo; for the repair and 800-foot extension of Bird Island pier; for the improvement and extension of the guide pier; and for the re- pair 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 fluc- tuations above the lock when they reach North Tonawanda. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $9,252,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $176,- 200, including $102,900 for operating and care.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied 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, 1944 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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. 11, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.- Advance planning for removal of rock shoals in the Lake Erie entrance to the canal and the canal was completed in 1944 at a cost of $838.63 for the year. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 116,281 cubic yards of material from Black Rock Channel and Tonawanda Harbor at a cost of $73,134.68; repaired Bird Island pier at a cost of $13,565.50 and made an investigation of the Niagara River channel section at a cost of $2,739.68. Squaw Island Dike was policed at a cost of $3,258.45. Operating and care.-The lock was in continuous operation 275 days and in operation during the day only for 83 days. The lock was closed March 15 to 21, 1945, inclusive, for underwater cleaning and repairs. The Ferry Street Bridge was in continu- ous 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 in continuous operation 254 days and was closed from December 16, 1944, to April 5, 1945, inclusive. The cost for the fiscal year was $119,452.49 including $13,996.47 for policing the lock, bridge, and Government reservation. The total cost for year was $212,989.43 of which $838.63 was for new work, $92,698.31 for maintenance, and $119,452.49 for operating and care. The total expenditure was $221,196.67. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 86 percent completed. The channel from Buffalo Harbor north entrance to opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, is com- pleted 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 Tonawanda in 1913; and Tonawanda sec- tion including turning basin in 1921. The triangular area at Lake Erie entrance to the canal was completed in 1922 and transferred from Buffalo Harbor project in 1945. The channel was further widened as follows: Lake Erie section was widened at the bend opposite foot of Georgia Street, Buffalo, in 1924; Black Rock Canal section, just south of the International Bridge at Buffalo, in 1928 and opposite the foot of Maryland Street, Buffalo, in 1930; and Niagara River section in the vicinity of the westerly end of the Rattlesnake Island Shoal in 1928. Rock shoals extending above a depth of 21.4 feet were removed from the Lake Erie en- trance to the canal and in the canal south of Ferry Street Bridge in 1937. The Tonawanda Creek Channel was completed in 1902. Tona- wanda Inner Harbor Channel was completed in 1904. The en- largement of the Tonawanda turning basin and the extension of Bird Island pier were completed in 1936. The lock, including RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1945 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 con- crete platform in the angle. The bridge at Ferry Street was com- pleted 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, the completion of removing rock shoals from Black Rock Channel from Lake Erie to Ferry Street, and widening the Lake Erie entrance to the canal. Structures are all in good condition except the towpath wall and low part of Bird Island pier which require repairs. The controlling depths at low-water datum are Black Rock Channel 20 feet, Tonawanda inner harbor 14 feet, and Tonawanda Creek channel, 14 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $10,111,680.25, of which $7,952,298.71, including $1,760,000 Emergency Relief funds, was for new work, $1,121,302.55 for maintenance, and $1,038,- 078.99 for operating and care. The total expenditure was $10,119,887.49, 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 provisions of the permanent in- definite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the ac- counts receivable at the end of the fiscal year plus an additional amount to be allotted will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Dredging, sweeping, and removing obstructions from Black Rock Channel by Government plant, July 1945 and June 1946 ---------- $43, 850. 00 Repairing Bird Island pier by Government plant, May 1946 ------------------------- 24, 600. 00 Repairing towpath wall by Government plant, May 1946 ----------------------------- 6, 000. 00 Sweeping and removing obstructions by Gov- ernment plant, May and June 1946 6, 860. 57 $81, 310. 57 Maintenance (operating and care) : Operating lock, bridge, and signal station____ 92, 000. 00 Ordinary repairs to lock, bridge, and signal station------------------------------ 30, 000. 00 122, 000. 00 Total, maintenance and operating and care-_________ 203, 310. 57 The removal of rock shoals from the Lake Erie entrance to the canal and in the canal, advance planning, and widening the Lake Erie entrance to the canal should be completed.

SUBMERGED WEIR, NIAGARA RIVER, N. Y. Location.-Across the Canadian Channel of the Niagara River about 1 mile above the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara Falls, and about 1,800 feet upstream from the intake of the Ontario Power Co. Existing project.-This provides for a loose rock fill submerged weir in the Chippawa-Grass Island pool to raise the water surface in the pool -1 foot more or less at standard low water; for studies to determine the effects brought about by the construction of the weir on water level conditions; and for corollary studies as to the nature of further work required to preserve and improve the scenic beauty of the Falls, after the effect of the submerged weir has been observed. Standard low water is at elevation 560.6 feet, above mean tide at New York City. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1945, is $913,000, one-half to be borne by the Government of the Dominion of Canada. The existing project was authorized by Senate executive resolu- tion dated November 27, 1941, ratifying executive G, Seventy- seventh Congress, and river and harbor funds were made avail- able to the project by the Second Deficiency Appropriation Act approved July 5, 1945. Local cooperation.-According to the agreement between the two governments, one-half of the estimated cost of construction is to be borne by the Government of the Dominion of Canada. In compliance with this requirement an adjustment of expenditures is made at the end of each calendar year. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The construction causeway and Tower Island, extending upstream to the site from the head of Goat Island, were maintained at a cost of $1,917.74; miscellaneous engineering studies were made at a cost of $669.69; and a net reimbursement of $18,867.88 was made to Canada to balance the costs incurred by the two governments during the calendar year 1944, for a total cost to the United States of $21,- 455.31 for the year. The expenditure was $22,557.27. 1948 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY,1945 Condition at the end of the fiscal year.-The existing project was about 79 percent complete. Under the existing project the preparatory work, including the construction of the causeway and Tower Island and the erection of a construction cableway, was commenced in April 1942 and completed in September 1942. Con- struction of the 1,710-foot submerged weir was started in 1942 and completed in 1944. During the period September 1942 to March 1943, a length of 1,445 feet was built as follows: 75 feet to elevation 552.0 feet; 700 feet to elevation 554.0 feet; and 670 feet to elevation 554.5 feet. During August to September 1943, the southerly 1,175 feet of the weir, started in 1942-43, were raised to elevation 554.5 feet, and the southerly end was extended toward the Canadian shore for a length of 75 feet to elevation 550.0 feet. During 1944, the weir was built to elevation 550.0 feet in the 190-foot gap between the Canadian shore and the weir, and holes discovered by soundings were filled. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of observation of hydraulic and ice effects, possible filling of holes in the weir, maintenance of the causeway, removal of construction plant, and clean-up of the site. The total costs and expenditures of the existing project to the United States were $464,843.32, exclusive of a net adjustment of $105,126.63 made by the Dominion of Canada, or a total at the end of the year of $359,716.69. In addition, there was a cost of about $360,000 in American dollars to the Dominion of Can'ada. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, $140,283.31, will be applied as follows: Maintaining causeway, roadway at head tower, gaging American Channel discharges, etc., by hired labor __________________ $8, 000. 00 Reimbursement to Canada to balance costs, Dec. 31, 1945 ,423. 00 1_____ Unexpended balance, June 30, 1946 ---------------------- 130, 860. 31 Total ____-__ - - - -- _____ - __ 140, 283. 31 Study of hydraulic effects, placing of additional stone, demobili- zation of construction plant, and clean-up of the site will-be neces- sary to complete the project.

NIAGARA RIVER, N. Y. Location. This improvement covers that portion of the Niagara River from Tonawanda Harbor, N. Y., to Niagara Falls, N. Y., a distance of 71/2 miles, and compensating works near the head of the river. The downstream limit of the improvement is about 16 miles from the mouth of the river at Lake Ontario. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 312.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of July 13, 1892, August 18, 1894, and June 25, 1910. For further details 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 connecting waters of the Great Lakes. The project depths are referred to the river surface when Lake Erie is at low-water datum, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 2 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 51/2 feet above to 11/2 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1941, is $1,163,000, including $700,000 for compensating works, but is exclusive of $27,562.50 contributed by local interests, and amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1930) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $9,000, of which $5,000 is for main- tenance of the compensating works. 1950 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Terminal facilities.-There are two terminals, one of which is occupied by a builders supply company whose facilities, are open to shippers of commodities for which the facilities are suited. The other terminal 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 facil- ities 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 at a cost and expenditure of $747.88 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 41 percent complete. The east channel from North Tonawanda to the Niagara Falls waterworks intake and Schlossers Channel from Niagara Falls waterworks intake to the foot of Hyde Park Boule- vard were completed in 1934. The work remaining to be done is the construction of the compensating works just above the con- tracted section of the river at Fort Erie. The controlling depth in the channels is 11.6 feet at low-water datum. The total cost and expenditure of the existing project was $513,614.04, of which $463,386.62, including $94,512.24 Public Works funds, was for new work and $50,227.42 for maintenance. In addition, $27,562.50 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposedoperations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($2,977.26) will be applied to sweeping the channel and removing obstructions by Government plant during July 1945. Sweeping and removing obstructions from the channel are re- quired annually. The additional sum of $3,000 can be profitably expended for this maintenance work by Government plant during the fiscal year 1947. RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N.

WILSON HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-This harbor is at the mouth of the east branch of the Twelve Mile Creek which enters Lake Ontario 12 miles easterly of the mouth of the Niagara River and 67 miles westerly 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 3, 1875. (For further details see Annual Report for 1889, p. 2395, et seq., and Annual Report for 1905, p. 628.) Existing project.-This provides for the restoration of the east and west parallel piers, 850 feet and 832 feet in length, respec- tively, by riprap-mound construction, and for an entrance channel 80 feet wide and 8 feet deep. The existing project is referred to low-water datum for Lake Ontario, elevation 244 feet above mean tide at New York. Or- dinary fluctuations of water surface are from 4 feet above to low- water datum, and fluctuations due to wind are small. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Dec. No. 679, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). 1952 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 The estimate of cost for new work made in 1945, is $131,000. The estimate for annual cost of maintenance made in 1945, is $2,000. Local cooperation.-The improvement is subject to the provi- sions that local interests furnish necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way; hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvement and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide and maintain a suitable public dock with necessary land approaches and inner harbor channels and turning basin necessary for the improvement. Local cooperation has not been complied with. Terminal facilities.-Three fish docks and a number of recrea- tional boating facilities are all privately-owned and suitable only for small craft. Operations and results during fiscal year. None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done and no expenditures have been incurred under the existing project. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is proposed during fiscal years 1946 and 1947.

Existing project.-This provides for the maintenance of 145 feet of the west inner breakwater, for an outer west breakwater 4,478 feet in length, consisting of 4,359 feet of stone-filled timber cribs with concrete superstructure, and 119 feet of rubble-mound construction; and for an arrowhead rubble-mound breakwater sys- tem west arrowhead breakwater, 2,700 feet long, east arrowhead breakwater about 2,200 feet long; for dredging to a depth of 21 feet at low-water datum in the outer harbor east of the Lacka- wanna coal dock and between the harbor lines in the Oswego River north of the north line of Seneca Street; for dredging the outer harbor west of the east side of the Lackawanna coal dock to a depth of 21 feet in soft material and 22 feet in hard material at low-water datum; no dredging to be done within 100 feet of the breakwaters nor within 50 feet of the established harbor lines ex- cept in the river; for the removal of a part of the west outer break- water, the lighthouse pier, and a part of the west inner break- water; for the abandonment of the east inner breakwater; for the elimination from the existing project of the east outer break- water which was never constructed; and for the removal of the upper and lower islands in the Oswego River. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Ontario, elevation 244 feet above mean tide at New York. Or- dinary fluctuations of water surface are from 4 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and fluctuations due to wind are small. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $4,477,000, which includes $1,188,000, the cost of that part of outer west breakwater included in the existing project. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $34,500.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1963 Local cooperation.-The act of October 17, 1940, authorized deepening in the west outer harbor to 21 feet in soft material and 22 feet in hard material, and closing the gap in the west break- water, subject to the condition that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will construct and operate a steam generating electric power plant, together with suitable docks and appurtenances, at the westerly end of the outer harbor; that they will provide suitable facilities to prevent stag- nation 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 structures as a result of the improvements. The conditions for constructing and operating a steam generating electric power plant and providing facilities for preventing stag- nation in the west basin have been complied with. Other condi- tions have not been complied with. Requirements under prior acts have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-One coal terminal and two publicly owned terminals for grain and barge canal traffic are open to the public. Two terminals for coal, one for petroleum products, one for cement, one for newsprint and one for fish are private. One dock owned by the State naval militia and one by the city of Oswego are used by recreational craft. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 13,113 cubic yards of material from the outer harbor and channels at a cost of $7,891.93. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $7,891.93. The expenditure was $8,119.23. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 78 percent complete. The west outer breakwater was completed in 1882 and was originally 6,032 feet long with a 119-foot gap near the westerly end but was reduced to 4,359 feet in 1931 and the gap was closed in 1942. The west arrowhead breakwater was com- pleted in 1931 and the east arrowhead breakwater in 1932. The old lighthouse pier, a part of the west inner breakwater and the upper and lower islands in Oswego River were removed in 1931. A depth of 21 feet was obtained in Oswego River to within 50 feet of the harbor lines and in the outer harbor east of the Lackawanna coal dock except a strip about 200 feet wide along the harbor line east of the mouth of the river in 1932. 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. A depth of 21 feet at low-water datum is available in the Os- wego River to the'north line of Seneca Street and in the outer har- bor 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 deepening of the 200-foot strip along the harbor line east of the 1964 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Oswego River and deepening the outer harbor west of the Lacka- wanna coal dock. The total cost of the existing project was $4,010,496.80, of which $3,451,220.85 was for new work and $559,275.95 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $4,011,221.14. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended and the ac- counts receivable at the end of the fiscal year ($10,014.66) plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Sweeping channels and removing obstructions by Govern- ment plant, July and August 1945 and June 1946 --------- $5, 514. 66 Dredging outer harbor and river channel with United States hopper dredge, May and June 1946 --------------- 14, 000. 00 Repairing the west breakwater with Government plant and hired labor, September 1945 --------------------------- 4, 500. 00 Total ------------------------------------ _______ 24, 014. 66 Dredging a 250-foot wide channel in the west outer harbor to project depth is necessary.

Ordinary seasonal fluctuations of water surface are from 4 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum. Other fluctu- ations due to wind and other causes are small. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1942, is $395,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1941) 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 June 25, 1910 Deepening the several channels to 19 feet __------- H. Doc.

Terminal facilities.-Three terminals for coal, four for petro- leum products, and one for sand are private. There is a car-ferry terminal, a grain elevator, a terminal for a passenger and auto- RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1971 mobile ferry, and a publicly owned terminal. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Examination sound- ings and sweeping were made and obstructions removed by Gov- ernment plant and hired labor at a cost of $4,045.59 for mainte- nance. The expenditure was $2,468.20. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 95 percent complete. The channels were deepened to 19 feet in 1913. The upper entrance channel was widened to 400 feet in 1920 and to 700 feet in 1935. Removal of the elevator wharf and deepening of the lower basin were completed in 1935, except for the removal of hard material shoals which remains to be done to complete the project. There is a controlling depth of 17 feet in the channels, and a depth of 20 feet in the lower basin, at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $733,935.19, of which $375,085.40, including $174,548.79 Public Works funds, was for new work and $358,849.79 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $734,126.36, including $174,548.79 Public Works funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the ac- counts receivable at the end of the fiscal year ($10,129.75) plus an additional amount anticipated to be allotted, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Dredging channels by United States hopper dredge, June 1946 ------ --------------------------------------- $10,000.00 Removal of shoals by Government plant and hired labor, September 1945 --- --- 5, 250. 00 Sweeping channels and removing obstructions by Govern- ment plant, July and September 1945, and June 1946----- 4, 879. 75 Total ------------------------------------------- 20,129.75 Redredging and sweeping are required annually.

Location.-Cayuga Creek passes through the village of Lan- caster, N. Y., and joins Buffalo Creek about 8 miles downstream from the village. Buffalo Creek empties into Lake Erie at Buffalo, N. Y., about 9 miles downstream from its juncture with Cayuga Creek. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the protection of the village of Lancaster against flood flows of 18,000 cubic feet per second, the maximum of record, by clearing and im- proving Cayuga Creek channel from Park Boulevard in the village of Lancaster downstream to Penora Street in the village of Depew, a distance of about 11/2 miles and constructing drainage facilities in the village of Lancaster. The channel improvement consists of straightening and widening Cayuga Creek channel, constructing earth dikes, and steel sheet pile and concrete flood walls. The estimated Federal cost for construction revised in 1945 is $605,000, exclusive of an estimated $28,000 to be contributed by local interests towards the cost of construction of drainage facili- ties. The estimated local cost revised in 1945 is $234,000 for lands and damages. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. No. 326, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. In addition to the usual requirements for local cooperation as provided by law, local interests are required to make a cash contribytion 1976 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 towards the cost of construction of drainage facilities and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will bear the expense of all necessary highway and bridge alterations and establish and enforce flood-channel limits and regulations sat- isfactory to the Secretary of War. Assurances were received from the Superintendent of Public Works, State of New York, March 12, 1945, and an appropriation of $262,343 made by the State of New York towards compliance with the local requirements for construction of the project. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work.-The preparation of detailed plans and specifications for the project was completed during the year at a cost of $2,644.10. The expenditure was $2,365.82. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Detailed plans and specifica- tions were completed during 1944. No construction work has been started. The total cost of the existing project was $33,931.74 for new work. The total expenditure was $33,649.57. Proposedoperations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the year, $950.43, will be applied during fiscal year 1946 to accounts payable June 30, 1945, and to the cost of stream gaging. The additional sum of $570,400 can be profitably expended dur- ing fiscal year 1946 or 1947 for construction of the project by contract.

MOUNT MORRIS RESERVOIR, GENESEE RIVER, N. Y. Location.-The dam site is on the Genesee River, 64.6 miles above the mouth of the river and approximately 57 miles south- westerly of Rochester, N. Y. The reservoir area is in Livingston and Wyoming Counties, N. Y. (See U. S. Geological charts for Nunda and Portage, N. Y.) Existing project. This provides for a reservoir at Mount Morris for flood control and other purposes. Present plans pro- vide for the construction of an earth-fill dam rising about 200 feet above the river bed with an uncontrolled chute spillway around the right abutment and a gate-regulated outlet tunnel around the left abutment. The reservoir is to provide for a storage of 226,500 acre-feet, of which, initially, 223,000 acre-feet are to be available for flood control and the remaining 3,500 acre-feet for a power pool to replace a like pool for an existing run-of-the-river plant below the dam site. Provisions are to be made for the future develop- ment of power at the dam site. Such modifications of present plans are to be made as in the discretion of the Secretary of War and the Chief of Engineers may be desirable. The reservoir flood storage capacity will be operated for the protection of the city of Rochester, the Genesee River flats from Rochester to Mount Morris, and the lower Canaseraga Valley. The estimated Federal cost, made in 1944, is $5,360,000 for con- struction, including $271,000 for the acquisition of lands in the reservoir area. The estimated cost, made in 1944, of annual main- tenance and operation is $26,800. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (H. Doc. No. 615, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). Operations and results during fiscal year.-Surveys, engineer- ing studies, and designs by hired labor were started and the cost for the year was $5,173.75 for new work. There were no expendi- tures for the year. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The preparation of detailed plans was in progress at the end of the year. Construction has not been started. The total cost of the existing project was $5,173.75 for new work. No expenditures have been incurred. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1945_--------------------------- $5, 173. 75 New work: Engineering studies and design by hired labor, July 1945 to November 1945_ _---------- $86, 476. 25 Subsurface investigations of dam site area by contract, August to September 1945----_ 25, 000. 00 1978 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

FLOOD CONTROL-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1979 32. PANTHER MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR, MOOSE RIVER, N. Y. Location.-The dam site is on the South Branch of the Moose River, about 5 miles upstream from McKeever, N. Y., and 23 miles upstream of Lyons Falls, where the Moose River enters the Black River. The reservoir area is in Herkimer County, N. Y. (See U. S. Geological Chart for Old Forge, N. Y.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of an earth-fill dam rising about 180 feet above the river bed with an uncontrolled side channel spillway and a gate- controlled outlet tunnel around the right abutment. The reser- voir is to provide for storage of 278,000 acre-feet, 44,000 acre- feet of capacity to be for flood control and 234,000 acre-feet for stream-flow regulation. Provisions are to be made for the ultimate development of 20,000 kilowatts at the dam site. The estimated cost of the project, made in 1944, is $3,800,000 for construction, including $2,950,000 to be contributed by local interests. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. No. 405, 77th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation.-Before construction is started on any ele- ment of the project, responsible local agencies must furnish with- out cost to the United States all available plans, hydraulic and geologic studies, results of underground explorations and other available information on the project, and give assurances satis- factory to the Secretary of War: (a) That they will provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights- of-way necessary for the construction of the project; (b) that they will hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from construction of the works; (c) that they will maintain all the works and operate that portion of the reservoir storage reserved for flood control purposes, in accord- ance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War.; and (d) that upon completion of the works they will contribute toward the first cost of constructing the project the sum of $2,950,000. The Black River Regulating District has furnished plans, pre- liminary report, and field notes on the Panther Mountain Reser- voir. Necessary assurances have not as yet been received. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Surveys, engineer- ing studies and designs by hired labor were started and the cost for the year was $1,545.53 for new work. There were no expendi- tures for the year. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The preparation of project plans was in progress at the end of the year. Construction has not been started. The total cost of the existing project was $1,545.53 for new work. No expenditures have been incurred. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the ac- counts receivable at the end of the fiscal year, together with an allotment of $50,000 made in July 1945, will be applied as follows: 1980 REPORT OF CHIEF Of ENGINEERS, U.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides that before any work is undertaken on the turning basin, local interests shall furnish necessary disposal areas and give as- surances 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, ex- cept 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, pro- vided 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. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-No work was done under the contract for dredging in area S, the work having been suspended in March 1944 at the request of the Navy Department to permit use of the dredges on more urgent work. Maintenance.-None. The costs were $6,046.97 for new work, which included surveys to determine condition of the project. The expenditures were $24,387.82 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 82 percent complete. 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 chan- nel 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 in 1942. 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. 672607--46--pt. 1, vol. 2--49 1986 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

NEWPORT BAY HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-This harbor is located on the Pacific coast, 24 miles southeast of Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbors, and 72 miles north- west of San Diego Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5108.) 1988 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Existing project.-This provides for rubble mound entrance jetties, 900 feet apart, 1,620 and 2,860 feet in length on the east and west sides of the channel, respectively; an entrance channel 20 feet deep and 500 feet wide; a main channel 20 feet deep, 700 feet wide, just inside the entrance, narrowing to a general width of 350 feet; an anchorage area 20 feet deep approximately 3,800 feet long and varying in width up to 520 feet on the north side of the main channel in the easterly end of the bay; an anchorage area 20 feet deep, approximately 5,200 feet long and varying in width up to 600 feet on the south side of the main channel in the easterly end of the bay; a yacht anchorage area 15 feet deep, 1,200 feet wide and 1,700 feet long on the south side of the main channel midway of the bay; the Newport Channel 15 feet deep, approximately 6,000 feet long and varying in width up to 330 feet; a turning basin 20 feet deep, approximately 2,000 feet long and varying in width up to 1,000 feet at the westerly end of the bay; and for a depth of 10 feet in the remainder of the main bay area. All work described above except widening the 20-foot-deep main channel from a general width of 200 feet to a general width of 350 feet and a width of 700 feet just inside the entrance, the deep- ening of Newport Channel to 15 feet over a width varying up to 330 feet, and for dredging two anchorages to a depth of 20 feet, which were improvements authorized in the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, was recommended by the Chief of Engi- neers to the Secretary of War under date of September 25, 1933, and was authorized by the. Public Works Administration June 15, 1934, at a total estimated cost of $1,835,400 for new work, of which amount local interests were required to contribute one- half. The estimated cost for new work is $2,107,793.66, which includes costs for the work authorized by the Public Works Administra- tion of $1,593,793.66, half of which was contributed by local in- terests, and $514,000, of which local interests are required to contribute $255,000, authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $15,000. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.1 feet. The extreme range is about 9 feet. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 26, 1937 Maintenance of the work authorized by the Pub- Senate Commerce Committee Print., lic Works Administration. 75th Cong.

In addition to the Federal project requirements, the city of Newport Beach and Orange County have expended for dredging and jetty work the sum of $2,526,435 since 1916. Private in- terests have spent $656,000 for dredging and other harbor work, making the total expenditure for harbor improvements by local interests, $3,182,435, exclusive of the Federal project. Terminal facilities.-There are numerous small wharves and landings, practically all for yachts. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 76 percent complete. The units of the project authorized by the Public Works Administration were completed in 1936 at a cost of $1,593,793.66, half of which was contributed by local interests. Dredging authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, had not been commenced. The jetties were in good condition.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-In Los Angeles Harbor there are 66,294 linear feet of wharves, of which 52,269 linear feet are owned by the city and 14,025 linear feet by private interests. In Long Beach Harbor there are 17,806 linear feet of wharves, of which 11,521 linear feet are owned by the city, 1,300 linear feet by the Government, and 4, 985 linear feet by private interests. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Initial dredging of the settling basin at the mouth of the Los Angeles River diversion channel by contract was continued. A total of 299,797 cubic yards of material was removed from the project area and deposited in pier A fill and the fill east of pier A, from July 1 to September 30, 1944. The dredge was removed from the project on September 30, 1944, the fills desired at that time by the city of Long Beach being complete, and no dredging was ac- complished since that date. Plans and specifications were pre- RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1993 pared for completion of the 13,350-foot detached breakwater, repairs to the 12,500-foot detached breakwater, dredging area A in the outer harbor, and dredging area B in the outer harbor. Maintenance.-None. Cost of new work was $77,368.85. The amount of $309,644.56 was credited from reimbursements collected and disposal of plant and equipment transferred to the Government at the curtailment of the contract of the construction of the 13,350-foot detached breakwater, resulting in a credit balance of cost amounting to $232,275.71. Net expenditures resulted in a credit of $210,194.50 to regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 76 percent complete. 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 en- trance channel in 1932, the 12,500-foot detached breakwater and Los Angeles Harbor entrance channel in 1937, and the outer har- bor turning basin in 1939. The 6,000-foot section of the detached breakwater was completed under Navy contract in July 1942. About 4,700 feet of the 13,350-foot detached breakwater was com- pleted and the remainder thereof partly constructed in 1943. A total of 2,502,981 cubic yards of material, approximately one-half the amount required to complete initial dredging, was dredged from the settling basin at the mouth of the Los Angeles River diversion channel in 1943 and 1944. The breakwaters were in good condition except for sections of the 12,500-foot detached breakwater, which sustained damage during the storm of September 24, and 25, 1939.

SANTA BARBARA HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-This harbor is located 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.-This provides for maintenance by dredging of present depths into the harbor formed by the breakwater con- structed by local interests and permits the 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. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.4 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 authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 30, 1935 Maintnance by dredging of the present depths Senate Committee Print, 73d Cong., into the harbor formed by the breakwater con- 2d sess. structed by local interests.

Prior to adoption by Congress, the work was authorized by the Public Works Administration. 1996 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Local cooperation.-No specific local cooperation is required. Local interests have contributed $201,200 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. The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, permits maintenance of the harbor by an intercepting plant as described above. Terminal facilities.-These consist of one wharf 2,200 feet long, a Navy pier 335 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-Plans and specifications for maintenance dredging were prepared and dredging by contract was commenced. A total of 6,550 cubic yards was dredged and deposited on downcoast beaches. A survey completed during June 1945, immediately prior to com- mencing dredging, showed 760,000 cubic yards shoaling in the project area since last maintenance dredging, August 14, 1942. Total cost for maintenance was $287.52. Total expenditures were $275.82 from regular funds. Condition at end of the fiscal year.-Maintenancedredging was about 2 percent complete. Controlling depths in the entrance channel were 17 feet for a width of 50 feet, 13 feet to 20 feet at Stearn's wharf and 16 feet at the Navy pier. An area approxi- mately 800 feet long and 400 feet wide along the northerly side of the breakwater, where the project depth is 25 feet, was shoaled to above mean lower low water. The area where the project depth is 20 feet was shoaled to depths of 16 feet to above mean lower low water. Total costs and expenditures of maintenance and beach restora- tion to June 30, 1945, were as follows: Costs Funds Expenditures New work Maintenance Total Regular _______________________________ $220,291. 52 $220,291.52 $220,279.82 Public Works_ 29, 198. 39 29, 198. 39 29, 198. 39 Total, United States funds- __ 249, 489. 91 249, 489. 91 249, 478. 21 Contributed________.__________________ _______________ 141, 731. 98 141, 731. 98 141, 731. 98 Total, all funds______________ ______________ 391, 221. 89 391, 221. 89 391, 210. 19 Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1945, amounting to $109,724.18, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1945_______________________________ $11.70 Maintenance: Complete dredging by contract approximately 420,500 cubic yards from the project area, July and August 1945------- 109, 712. 48 Total for all work__________________________________ 109, 724. 18 Additional funds to the amount of $60,000 can be profitably ex- pended during the fiscal year 1946 for maintenance dredging.

MORRO BAY, CALIF. Location.-Morro Bay is on the Pacific coast, 110 miles south of Monterey Bay, 120 miles northwest of Santa Barbara Harbor and nearly midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5387.) Existing project.-This provides for two random stone break- waters, the upcoast breakwater extending 1,800 feet south by west from Morro Rock, and the downcoast breakwater extending west from the sandspit, 1,399 feet, thence northwest 433 feet, a total distance of 1,832 feet; an entrance channel 16 feet deep and 350 feet wide; a stone dike extending from Morro Rock to the mainland, a distance of 1,600 feet; a main channel 16 feet deep varying in width up to 800 feet from the entrance to opposite the town of Morro; a quarry-waste revetment levee extending along RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1999 the waterfront at Morro, a distance of 6,930 feet, to retain mar- ginal fills; and a channel, from the town of Morro to the lower bay, 12 feet deep and generally 150 feet wide. The project has been partly completed under supervision of the Chief of Engineers using funds contributed by the Navy Department. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 4.7 feet. The extreme range is about 8.5 feet. The latest (1945) estimated cost for new work is $2,920,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $25,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 283, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). The project document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-The project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, is subject to the conditions with respect to that part of the channel and basin beyond the limits of the 16-foot depth that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War, they will: Furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction and for subsequent maintenance, when and as required; construct and maintain a roadway to and along Morro waterfront to give proper access to the improvement; and provide and maintain adequate facilities for the mooring and servicing of vessels, at terms reasonable and equal to all. The estimated cost of these items was $50,000. Local interests have furnished ease- ments and rights-of-way required for work now being constructed with Navy Department funds. Terminal facilities.-There are 2,083 feet of piers and a marine railway, constructed by the Navy, and a few small piers con- structed by the Navy, and a few small piers constructed by private local interests. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Totals of 109,159 tons of "A" stone, 134,212 tons of "B" stone, and 1,816 cubic yards of concrete were placed by contract in the extension to the Morro Rock breakwater. A total of 19,482 tons of quarry waste was placed in completing revetment retaining the marginal fills along the Morro waterfront. A total of 1,235,994 cubic yards was dredged by contract from the main channel and the channel into the lower bay and deposited on the sandspit, on the upcoast side of the stone dike connecting Morro Rock and the mainland, and in the marginal fill along the Morro waterfront, which was completed. Dredging was halted temporarily on January 3, 1945, at the request of the Navy Department to permit use of the dredge on more urgent work. Maintenance.-Totals of 57,222 tons of "A" stone and 3,697 cubic yards of concrete were placed by contract in repairs to the Morro Rock breakwater. All work described above was accomplished using funds fur- nished by the Navy Department. Costs were $1,041,540.80 for 2000 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 new work and $164,083.51 for maintenance, a total of $1,205,- 624.31. Expenditures were $954,084.71 from Navy funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 89 percent complete. The south breakwater was completed in 1942, the stone dike connecting Morro Rock and the mainland in 1942, the retaining levee and marginal fills along the Morro waterfront in 1944, and the channel to the lower bay in 1944. Controlling depths were as follows: Feet Date ascertained Entrance channel _ - --- . - -- - - __ 5 July 1943. 2-- Main channel - -_ 12 January 1945. Morro channel 12 November 1944. Work remaining to complete the project consists of completion of dredging the entrance and main channels and completion of the Morro Rock breakwater. Total costs for the existing project to June 30, 1945, were $2,435,250.77, for new work and $164,083.51 for maintenance, a total of $2,599,334.28, all from Navy funds. Expenditures were $2,347,362.25 from Navy funds. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $100,000 made during July 1945, will be applied to maintenance dredging of the entrance and bay channels during October and November, 1945. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947. 6. EXAMINATIONS, SURVEYS, AND CONTINGENCIES (GENERAL) The cost of work during the year was $27,032.96; expenditures were $27,231.76. The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, amount- ing to $62,907.65, will be applied as needed during the fiscal year 1946 for payment of expenses. incurred under this heading. The additional sum of $40,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947.

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 chan- nel improvements in Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers and Ballona Creek and tributaries thereof for protection of Los 672607-46-pt. 1, vol. 2-50 2002 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 ex- ceed $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 Bal- lona Creek as set forth in House Document No. 838, Seventy-sixth Congress, third session, and in addition to previous authorizations, the act authorized $25,000,000 for the further accomplishment of that plan. The Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944, authorized to be appropriated, in addition to previous authoriza- tions, the sum of $25,000,000 for the prosecution of the compre- hensive plan approved in the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941. 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 recon- struction 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, im- provement of 35.6 miles of main channel and 69.16 miles of tribu- tary 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 reconstruction 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 recon- struction of 12 bridges.

Location.-The dam site is in Riverside County, on the Santa Ana River approximately 30 miles above the mouth. Existing project.-This is a unit of the general plan for pro- tection of the metropolitan area in Orange County, authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The plan of improvement provides for a rolled-fill earth dam 2,280 feet long, maximum height 106 feet above stream bed, with a flood-control basin of 222,000 acre-feet capacity at spillway crest; an uncontrolled spillway 1,000 feet in length, located in a 672607--46-pt. 1, vol. 2--51 2018 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 saddle near the left abutment; and outlet works through the dam at the right abutment. The operation of the basin regulates the run-off from a tributary area of 2,264 square miles, reducing the flow of a design flood from 193,000 to 9,200 cubic feet per second. The estimated total cost revised in 1940 is $6,046,000 for construc- tion and $3,404,600 for acquisition of lands and highway and railway relocation. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.---Opera- tions with regular funds, during the fiscal year, consisted of ac- quisition of lands and relocation of utilities. Maintenance.--The dam was maintained in good operating condition. The costs were $36,343.78 for acquisition of lands and utility relocation for new work and $42,725.04 for maintenance, a total of $79,068.82 from regular funds. The expenditures were $196,- 775.03 from regular funds. Performance.-The storm of February 2, 1945, which caused a peak inflow of about 4,500 cubic feet per second, was regulated to a flow of about 1,360 cubic feet per second through the ungated bypass conduits. No gates were operated for regulation during the year. About 1 percent of the storage capacity below the spill- way crest was utilized. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam was completed in May 1941. The work remaining to complete the project consists of reimbursement to local interests for utility relocation, lands, and rights-of-way.

Terminal facilities.-The State has 42 piers, 6 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 En- gineers.) Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The harbor was kept clear of floating debris in the interest of safety to seaplane and small craft operations. Periodic condition surveys were made over pertinent portions of the project. The cost was $17,958.62 for maintenance. The expenditures were $18,011. Conditionat end of fiscal year.---The existing project was about 90 percent physically complete. The work remaining to be done RIVERS AND HARBORS--SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2039 is 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 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, 48 feet, April 1945; channel and basin at San Francisco Airport, 6.5 feet, April 1945; Presidio Shoal, 45 feet; Black Point Shoal, 37 feet, March 1941; Alcatraz Shoal, 50 feet, March 1943; Point Knox Shoal, 36 feet, April 1943; Islais Creek Shoal, 27 feet, August 1945; 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 $1,360,038.40 for new work ($193,000 from Public Works funds and $1,167,038.40 from regular funds) and $197,843.02 for main- tenance, a total of $1,557,881.42. The expenditures were $1,558,- 082.20. In addition, $134,591.02 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, together with accounts receivable, June 30, 1945, and an anticipated allotment of $18,000, amounting in all to $33,284.45, will be applied to main- tenance, removal of floating debris from the harbor with Govern- ment plant and hired labor throughout the fiscal year 1946, and making condition surveys of various parts of the project as needed during the year.

REDWOOD CREEK, CALIF. Location.-Redwood Creek is a tributary of San Francisco Bay, about 20 miles south of the city of San Francisco. The works in- cluded under the project include, also, a channel in San Francisco Bay east of Point San Bruno. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey Chart No. 5531.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1979 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1672 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 500 feet wide and 30 feet deep across San Bruno Shoal in San Francisco Bay; a chan- nel 300 feet wide and 30 feet deep from deep water in the bay to the junction of Redwood Creek and Westpoint Slough, with a flared entrance from the bay and an enlargement at a bend 1,800 feet long and 350 feet wide; a turning basin 2,200 feet long, from 400 to 900 feet wide and 30 feet deep; and a channel 150 feet wide and 5 feet deep from the turning basin to the old municipal wharf at the RIVERS AND HARBORS--SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2041 mouth of Steinberger Slough, about three-fourths of a mile below Redwood City. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range be- tween mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.9 feet at Point San Bruno and 7.9 feet at Redwood City. The ex- treme ranges are estimated to be 12 feet and 13 feet at the respec- tive localities. The separate sections under improvement, across San Bruno Shoal and in Redwood Creek, are each 4 1/3 miles long. The head of the improvement is two-thirds of a mile below the head of navigation at the Bayshore Highway crossing at Redwood City. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $613,000, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects, and exclu- sive of $119,572.23 contributed by local interests. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $36,500.

Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, requires that local interests furnish spoil disposal areas for constructing the project. This requirement has not been fulfilled. All previous requirements have been fulfilled. Terminal facilities.-Thereare seven wharves and one bulkhead landing on Redwood Creek and one wharf on Westpoint Slough. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The turning basin and a portion of the channel adjacent thereto were redredged by contract. The amount removed was 176,479 cubic yards. The cost was $44,004.97 for maintenance. The expenditures were $46,- 089.84. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 34 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the dredg- ing of the channel across San Bruno Shoal and the enlargement and deepening of the channel and turning basin in Redwood Creek, authorized by the act of March 2, 1945. At the end of the year the controlling depth in the project chan- nel and turning basin in Redwood Creek was 26 feet, except for a small area in the channel opposite the mouth of Westpoint Slough, where it was 25 feet. On June 30, 1939, the controlling depth up- stream from the turning basin was 6 feet to Boundary Slough, 2042 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 then it decreased gradually to zero at the head of the project. No work had been done on San Bruno Shoal. The total cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $249,465.26 for new work ($129,893.03 from United States funds and $119,572.23 from contributed funds) and $169,730.78 for maintenance, a total of $419,196.04. The expenditures were $421,280.91 ($301,708.68 from United States funds and $119,- 572.23 from contributed funds). Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, together with accounts receivable June 30, 1945, amounting in all to $13,595.03, will be applied to periodic surveys of the channel throughout the year and to such dredging as may be required. The additional sum of $1,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance, making condition surveys of the project.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2043 3. OAKLAND HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-Located on the eastern side of San Francisco Bay, oposite 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 a channel 35 feet deep from deep water in San Francisco Bay to Oakland Outer Harbor, 800 feet wide across the shoal southeast of Yerba Buena Island, thence narrowing to 600 feet at Oakland Mole, thence the mainte- nance of the channel and turning basin in the outer harbor, in- cluding at the army base therein, 35 feet deep and from 600 to 950 feet wide. The project provides also for an entrance channel 30 feet deep to the inner harbor, 800 feet wide at the bayward end narrowing to 600 feet at the ends of Oakland Jetties; a chan- nel 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 from San Francisco Bay to San Leandro Bay. The project also includes parallel rubble-mound jetties at the entrance, a north jetty 9,500 feet long, and a south jetty 12,000 feet long; the maintenance of the north channel of Brooklyn Basin, 25 feet deep and 300 feet wide, the maintenance to 30-foot depth and to within 75 feet of the pierhead line of the area along the south side of the channel from Harrison Street eastward to harbor-line point No. 58.in Brooklyn Basin; and three highway bridgesl 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. The estimated cost of new work, authorized by the acts of Sep- tember 22, 1922, January 21, 1927, and July 3, 1930, and March 2, 1945, is $1,420,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, and excluding $100,000 to be contributed by local in- terests. Overdepth dredging in the main channel, in the nature of deferred maintenance involved an estimated expenditure of $1,035,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $90,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 2044 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

No. 28, 70th Cong. Local cooperation.-The act of January 21, 1927, as modified by the Act of March 2, 1945 requires that local interests contribute one-half the cost of the entrance channel (400 feet wide) to the outer harbor and that the future maintenance by the United States of the north channel in Brooklyn Basin be contingent upon the re- moval by local interests of all sewers emptying therein, or, in lieu of such removal, upon the contribution of one-half the cost of maintenance (H. Doc. No. 407, 69th Cong., 1st sess., and H. Doc. No. 466, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). The first of the above require- ments has been fulfilled. The others have not been fulfilled. In compliance with the Act of April 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 8 ferry slips in the harbor. These facilities are considered adequate for normal times, but they are taxted to their utmost at present. (See Port Series No. 12, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Kingman redredged the channels to the outer and inner harbors, removing 759,806 cubic yards therefrom. Both the outer RIVERS AND HARBORS--SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2045 ' and inner harbors were kept free of floating debris. The Fruit- vale Avenue Bridge was kept in repair and operated throughout the year. The cost was $106,480.56 for maintenance. The ex- penditures were $104,044.93. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 82 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the deep- ening, to 25 feet, of the tidal canal above the Park Street Bridge. In April 1945, the controlling depth from deep water in San Fran- cisco Bay to the outer harbor was 30 feet, and to the entrance to the inner harbor it was 31 feet. At the end of the year the con- trolling depth in the channel and basin in the outer harbor was 33 feet, except for a small shoal, 31 feet deep, near the head of the project. In May 1945, the controlling depths in the inner harbor were as follows: Channel to Webster Street and thence to Brook- lyn Basin 29 feet; main channel in Brooklyn Basin, turning basin at east end of Brooklyn Basin and tidal canal to Oak Street, 25 feet; thence, tidal canal to San Leandro Bay, 16 feet; north chan- nel in Brooklyn Basin, 17 feet. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $1,134,462.21 for new work and $1,873,116.44 for maintenance, a total of $3,007,578.65. The expenditures were $3,005,892.26. In addition, $83,547.02 was expended from contributed funds for new work.

Local cooperation.-Theact of June 20, 1938, requires that local interests furnish necessary rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for initial work and subsequent maintenance and that no portion of the channel widening north of Point Potrero authorized by that act be undertaken until assurances are received that industries will avail themselves of the improved navigation facilities. The act of March 2, 1945 requires local interests to furnish necessary rights of way and spoil disposal areas. 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 private general cargo wharf, two ferry terminals, three outfitting wharves, and five small wharves used for miscellaneous purposes. In the outer har- bor there are three oil wharves, one deep-water general cargo wharf, one car ferry terminal, one auto ferry terminal, and one barge wharf. The facilities are considered adequate. (See Port Series No. 12, Corps of Engineers.) 2048 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARIMY, 1945 Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The inner and outer harbors were kept free from floating debris. The normal condi- tion surveys were made. The cost was $5,764.04 for maintenance. The expenditures were $5,852.28. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 92 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the widen- ing of the channel north of Point Potrero and the dredging of the channel in San Pablo Bay adjacent to the north side of Point San Pablo. In May 1945, the controlling depth in the inner harbor was as follows: Channel from San Francisco Bay to the basin at Terminal No. 1 and thence to Point Potrero, 28 feet; thence to the head of the project, 27 feet; in turning basin at Terminal No. 1, 26 feet. At the end of the year the controlling depth was 30 feet in each of the approach areas in the outer harbor except at the northeast extremity of the area at Richmond Long Wharf, where it was 28 feet, and in the southeast extremity of the area at Ter- minal No. 4 at Point San Pablo, where it was 29 feet. The 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 Works funds) and $441,536.79 for mainte- nance, a total of $1,229,770.03. The total expenditures were $1,229,907.48. In addition, the costs and expenditures from con- tributed funds were $524,777.66 for new work and $34,800.20 for maintenance, a total of $559,577.86. Proposed operations.-The balance available, together with ac- counts receivable, June 30, 1945, and an allotment of $25,000 made in July, amounting in all to $59,842.59 will be applied as follows: New work: Dredging the project channel in San Pablo Bay along the north side of Point San Pablo, by contract, August 1945 $25, 000.00 Maintenance : Removal of various shoal areas in the inner and outer har- bors with Government hopper dredge and hired labor, December 1945 28, 000. 00 Removal of floating debris from the inner and outer harbors with leased plant and hired labor throughout the year __ 4, 800. 00 Periodic condition surveys by hired labor throughout the year------------------ 2, 042.59 Total maintenance ______________________________ 34, 842. 59 Grand total -------------------------------------- 59, 842. 59 The additional sum of $53,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance, redredging the inner harbor and the approach areas in the outer harbor with Govern- ment hopper dredge in October and November 1946, keeping the inner and outer harbors clear of floating debris and making the necessary periodic condition surveys of the project.

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 Wash- ington 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. The act of July 3, 1930, requires that local interests furnish satisfactory areas with RIVERS AND HARBORS--SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2053 necessary levees, spillways, and drainage works for the proper disposal of spoil from maintenance. Terminal facilities.-There are 36 wharves and landings on the creek, which are considered to be adequate. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The project was re- dredged from McNear Canal to its upstream end and two small shoals, located at the upper end of cut-off "A" and at Adobe Street, were removed. The quantities excavated were 104,826 cubic yards from the redredging and 8,487 cubic yards from the shoals. The work was by contract. The cost was $61,337.81 for maintenance. The expenditures were $60,866.19. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1933. At the end of the year the controlling depth was 6.5 feet in the channel across the flats in San Pablo Bay, thence in Petaluma Creek it was 7 feet to Haystack Landing, thence 6 feet to and through the turning basin, thence 5 feet to Western Avenue. Above Western Avenue the channel gradually shoaled to about 2 feet 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 $260,472.38 for maintenance, a total of $345,534.95. The expenditures were $345,063.33.

MONTEREY HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-Located about 90 miles south of San Francisco Bay, at the south end of Monterey Bay, an indentation in the coast of California. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5403.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 25, 1912. No work was done. No expenditures were made. Existing project.-This provides for a breakwater 1,700 feet long, with the shore connection extending about 750 feet due east from a point about half-way between Reeside Avenue and the Presidio boundary, and the outer section bearing about S. 70 ° E; a harbor depth of 8 feet adjacent to Municipal wharf No. 1; and a sand trap, 500 feet long, to prevent further encroachment of sand into the protected portion of the harbor. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.5 feet. The extreme range is about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1939 is $727,000. The latest (1939) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $30,500.

Local cooperation.--The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, required that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, necessary easements for the construction and main- RIVERS AND HARBORS--SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2055 tenance of the sand trap, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvement; and provided, further, that local interests bear the excess cost of placing dredged materials in disposal areas of their selec- tion. These requirements have not been complied with. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-The existing commercial facilities consist of two wharves with a total of about 2,600 feet of berthing space, approximately 20 anchored floating fish-receiving hoppers con- nected by pipe lines to the sardine plants ashore, and a submarine pipe line between ship moorings and shore plants, for handling petroleum products. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. There were no costs and no expenditures. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 90 percent complete. The breakwater was completed in 1934. The work remaining to be done is provision of the harbor depth of 8 feet and the construction of the sand trap. The total costs and expenditures of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $652,951, including $207,800 from Public Works funds, all for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, will be applied to maintenance, making a condition survey of the harbor by hired labor, October 1945. The additional sum of $75,250 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, of which $74,000 is for new work dredging in the harbor to the project depth of 8 feet and con- structing the sand trap, by contract, August to October 1946 and $1,250 is for condition surveys.

MONTEREY BAY (MOSS LANDING) CALIF. Location.-This harbor is located on Monterey Bay about mid- way between the cities of Santa Cruz and Monterey. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5403.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 200 feet wide and 15 feet deep, protected by jetties, from Monterey Bay into the inner lagoon at Moss Landing, thence a channel in the lagoon, 100 feet wide, 15 feet deep, and approximately 3,200 'feet long extending southerly from the entrance, with a flared widening to a width of 200 feet for a length of 400 feet at the southerly end. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range be- tween mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.3 feet with an estimated extreme range of 10.5 feet. The estimate of cost of new work is $350,000. There is no ap- proved estimate of annual cost of maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945. Recommended modification of project.-In a report requested by a resolution of the Committee on Commerce, United States Senate, adopted August 21, 1939, and transmitted to Congress by the Secretary of War May 31, 1944, the Chief of Engineers recom- mended the construction of a harbor at Moss Landing, consisting of an entrance channel 200 feet wide and 20 feet deep from the bay to the inner lagoon, protected by stone jetties; a turning area 20 feet deep at the lagoon end of the entrance channel; channels, 200 feet wide and 20 feet deep, extending northerly and southerly in the lagoon from the entrance channel for a total length of about 5,200 feet, with flared turning basins 400 feet square at the ends thereof; and a wave trap to protect the shore opposite the lagoon end of the entrance channel; at a total estimated first cost to the United States of $482,500 for the construction and $20,000 an- nually for maintenance, subject to certain requirements of local cooperation, including the contribution of one-half the first cost, but not to exceed $482,500. (See S. Doc. No. 50, 79th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, requires that local interests furnish the necessary rights of way and suitably bulkheaded spoil disposal areas for new work and subsequent RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2057 maintenance, when and as required, and hold the United States free from claims for damages resulting from construction work. These requirements have not been fulfilled. Terminal facilities.-There is one wharf and several fish-receiv- ing hoppers in Monterey Bay at Moss Landing. These facilities are not adequate. Local interests plan the construction of ade- quate facilities upon completion of the project harbor. Operations and results during fiscal year.--None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the project. The conditions are generally as described in the report carrying the recommended modification of the project. There have been no costs or expenditures. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $350,000 made in July 1945 will be applied to new work, constructing the entire project by contract August to December 1945. No work is contemplated for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947.

NOYO RIVER AND HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-Noyo Harbor is a cove on the California coast about 135 miles northwest of San Francisco. Noyo River rises in the Coast Range Mountains, flows westerly, and empties into Noyo Harbor. (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 Report for 1929, and page 1772, Annual Report for 1930. Existing project.-This provides for a rubblemound breakwater extending northwesterly about 1,100 feet from the south headland of Noyo Harbor, and for an entrance channel into Noyo River 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, revised in 1945, is $784,000. The latest (1940) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $27,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 2058 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Acts Work authorized Documents July 3, 1930 Entrance channel and channel in the river __.. S. Doc. No. 156, 71st Cong., 2d sess. Mar. 2,1945 The breakwater in Noyo Harbor -------------- _ H. Doc. No. 682, 76th Cong., 3d sess. (Contains latest published map.) Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945 requires that local interests provide the necessary rights of way and easements for the construction and maintenance of the breakwater, including access thereto, and a suitable royalty-free quarry in the locality; and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide suitable public facilities and arrangements for the loading and unloading of vessels in Noyo Harbor. These re- quirements have not been complied with. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-In the harbor, there are moorings and a cableway for holding and loading vessels. In the river there are four wharves for unloading fish, three boat-fueling terminals, and one boat-repair plant. These facilities are adequate, but mooring facilities for fishing boats are inadequate and steps are being taken to enlarge them. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The entrance chan- nel was redredged by contract, 6,764 cubic yards being removed therefrom. A public hearing was held and a report rendered on the adequacy of the highway bridge across the river just upstream from the head of the project. The cost was $9,844.59 for main- tenance. The expenditures were $9,800.91. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is about 23 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the construction of the breakwater in Noyo Harbor authorized by the act of March 2, 1945. At the end of the year the controlling depth in the river project was 5 feet in the entrance channel, thence 6 feet to the head of the project except that a small shoal, with 2 feet of depth, existed on the north side of the channel about 100 feet downstream from the head of the project. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $183,684.66 for new work and $142,968.90 for maintenance, a total of $326,653.56. The expenditures were $326,609.88. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, together with an allotment of $11,000 made in July 1945, amount- ing in all to $25,799.09, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1945------------------------------ $123. 34 New work: Advance planning and preparation of plans and specifications for the construction of the project breakwater by hired labor --------------------- -------------------- 11, 000. 00 Maintenance: Redredging the project channel from near the entrance to the head of the project by contract March to May 1946 ------------------------------------- 14,675.75 Total --------------------------------- ----------- 25,799.09 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2059 The additional sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance, by contract April and May 1947 removing shoals in the project channel caused by winter storms.

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 Geo- detic 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, 2060 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 Land- ing wharf. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.4 feet at the south jetty and 6.7 feet at Eureka. The extreme range is 12.5 feet at the south jetty and 12 feet at Eureka. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, was $2,- 793,000, of which $95,000 was contributed by local interests. This estimate is exclusive of the amounts expended on previous proj- ects. The latest (1937). approved estimate for annual cost of main- tenance of dredging is $58,000. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of the jetties.

Terminal facilities.-There are 36 wharves and 7 small-boat landings, exclusive of facilities owned by the United States. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairs to the south jetty under way, with Government plant and hired labor, at the beginning of the year, were completed, 3,342 cubic yards of con- crete being placed, of which 2,442 cubic yards were mass concrete and 900 cubic yards were in 100-ton blocks. The U. S. hopper dredge Pacific removed 175,699 cubic yards of material from the Fields Landing channel and turning basin and the Samoa channel. The jetties were patrolled during the winter to observe the effect of storms on the repairs. The cost was $90,931.12 for mainte- nance.. The expenditures were $97,066.56. IVERS AND HAR ORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2061 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. At the end of the year the controlling depths were as follows: Southwesterly entrance channel, 34 feet; channel be- tween the jetties, 30 feet for a width of 450 feet; natural channel in the bay north of the entrance thereto, 24 feet; Samoa channel, 25 feet; Eureka channel, 23 feet to B Street, thence 17 feet to M Street, thence 12 feet to the head of the project; Fields Landing channel, 21 feet across a bar at its northerly end and in the turn- ing basin, but 26 feet can be carried around the shoal areas and to the Fields Landing wharf. In May 1937, the controlling depth in the Arcata channel (which is now no longer used) was 18 feet. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $2,778,887.78 for new work and $4,477,900.94 for maintenace, a total of $7,256,788.72. The expenditures were $7,261,173.33. In addition, $95,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work.

CRESCENT CITY HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-Located 17 miles south of the Oregon State line and midway between San Francisco Bay and the mouth of the Colum- bia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5895.) Existing project.-This provides for a rubble-mound break- water approximately 5,700 feet in length, bearing approximately S. 270 E. extending from Battery Point to Round Rock, a rubble mound sand barrier from Whaler Island to the easterly shore, an inner breakwater extending northwesterly from Whaler Island, so as to form a protected fish boat harbor for maintaining, by dredging, a basin 1,800 feet long and 1,400 feet wide to a depth of 20 feet at mean lower low water, except in rock for the removal of pinnacle rocks in the fish boat harbor, and for maintenance dredging in the vicinity of the seaward end of the sand barrier. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.9 feet; the extreme range of tide is about 12.3 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $2,607,- 000. The latest (1940) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, including $5,000 for dredging outside the harbor basin, but exclusive of the cost of maintenance of the fish boat harbor, is $82,500.

Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, requires that local interests grant to the United States, free of cost, necessary easements and rights-of-way and a suitable quarry or source of supply of royalty free rock for extension of the breakwater to Round Rock. These requirements have not been complied with. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are two wharves in this harbor, which are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A condition survey was made of the harbor. The cost and expenditures were $1,500 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is about 37 per- cent complete. The work remaining to be done is the extension of the breakwater to Round Rock and the construction of the fishing boat harbor, both of which were authorized by the act of March 2, 1945. In May 1945, the controlling depth in the harbor area was 16 feet at the former tanker moorings and 12 feet to within about 150 feet from the Hobbs-Wall wharf. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $796,950.03 for new work and $267,565.17 for maintenance, a total of $1,064,515.20. The expenditures were $1,064,515.20. In addition, the costs and expenditures from contributed funds were $217,115.54 for new work and $27,884.46 for maintenance, a total of $245,000. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $206,000, made in July 1945, will be applied to new work as follows: Construction of the inner "breakwater and removal of pinnacle rocks in the fishing boat harbor by contract August 1945 to January 1946 ------------------------ ------- $200, 000 Advance planning and preparation of plans and specifications for the construction of the extension of the breakwater to Round Rock . ..--- ---- --------------- .-- 6, 000 Total ------------------------------------------- 206, 000 The additional sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance, making a condition survey of the entire harbor. 2064 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 en- trances 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 miles; for a 9-foot depth, thence to the head of navigation at El Dorado Street, one-half mile; for a 9-foot depth -feet in Fremont Channel and McLeod Lake, arms of Stockton Channel; and for a channel 9 feet deep and 100 wide in Mormon Chan- nel from its mouth to Center Street, head of navigation, 1.7 miles. It also provides for suitable passing basins and a turning basin at Stockton; for a triangular-shaped settling basin 30 feet deep and average side length of about 1,000 feet in the San Joaquin River just above its junction with the Stockton deep-water channel and a second settling basin 30 feet deep, 1,200 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 approxi- mately 4,000 feet of levee along the north side of Venice Island Cut, and the setting back of levees where required for the channel improvements; for cutting off sharp bends and making cut-offs in the river; for partial closing of side channels at Laird Slough and Paradise Cut by weirs to confine the low-water flow to one main channel; and for snagging, removing overhanging trees, and constructing brush wing dams from the mouth of Stockton Chan- nel to Hills Ferry, 86 miles, to facilitate light-draft navigation on this part of the river during higher stages of water.

The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $4,011,- 000. This amount does not include $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 dur- ing the first year and $111,000 annually thereafter. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2073 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.

I Contains latest published maps. 2 Included in the Public Works Administration program Sept. 6, 1933. Local cooperation.-Localinterests 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 main- tenance of levees. All requirements for work done to date have been fulfilled. Terminal facilities.-There are a number of privately owned river freight warehouses along the river and in the delta region. Freight is handled on the bank, except at and below Antioch, where extensive wharves and warehouses exist. The city of Stockton port terminal has 3,400 linear feet of public wharves served by 32 miles of public belt railroad. All except two oil ter- minal piers and a 508-foot wharf have transit sheds. In addition to privately operated grain and lumber terminals, a cotton com- press and warehouse, a bean-cleaning plant, oil refinery, and stor- age tanks, a large storage tank for crude molasses, and bank of silos for cement storage, there are numerous publicly and pri- vately owned shallow-draft wharves at Stockton. Certain facili- ties at the Stockton port terminal are in use for military purposes. A naval supply depot (Stockton Annex), about 50 percent com- plete, is under construction on Rough and Ready Island, bounded by the Stockton Deep Water Channel on the north side, San Joaquin River on the east side, and Burns Cut-off on the south and west sides. In New York Slough there are 13 wharves, in- cluding 1 for deep-sea vessels. One wharf has a spur track and 2 have oil pipe lines. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-None. Maintenance.-The 30-foot channel to Stockton was partially restored to project dimensions at the confluence of the main river and Stockton Channel and vicinity by the excavation of 188,000 cubic yards by the pipd line dredge Alamitos under rental con- tract, at a cost of $12,865.48, including surveys and inspections. 2074 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Total cost for the fiscal year was $12,865.48, for maintenance; total expenditures were $7,533.47. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 95 percent complete, the work remaining to be done being the dredg- ing of a 9-foot channel in Mormon Channel to Center Street, Stockton; completion of restoration of levee on north side of Venice Island Cut; and setting back of levees and bringing levees to grade and section where needed. The controlling depth from mouth of the river in Suisun Bay to Mormon Channel, 41 miles, is 29 feet (30-foot depth is being restored) ; thence to Edison Street, three-quarters of a mile, 22 feet; and thence to head at El Dorado Street, one-half mile, 10 feet. A 3-foot depth is avail- able in Mormon Channel and 7 feet in Fremont Channel and McLeod Lake. The river, from its junction with Stockton Channel to Hills Ferry, usually has a controlling depth of 4 feet from April to June, inclusive. Navigation in this section above the San Joaquin bridge (Southern Pacific R. R. crossing) is impracticable in the low stages after June. All depths are referred to mean lower low water.

STOCKTON AND MORMON CHANNELS (DIVERTING CANAL), CALIF. Location.-This is an artificial cut located about 2 miles north- east of Stockton. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheet, Stockton quadrangle.) Existing project.-This provides for diverting the waters of Mormon 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 enlarg- ment 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 con- struction 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 rail- way 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. Terminal facilities.-See report on San Joaquin River, Calif. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Clearingbrush from the channel was done at a cost and expenditure of $3,016.30, in- cluding inspections, for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1910. Most of the silt formerly deposited in Stockton and Mormon Channels is diverted therefrom by this canal, obviating serious inconveniences to navigation and the expensive annual dredging. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2077 The total cost was $362,530.41, of which $253,151.03 was for new work and $109,379.38 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $362,530.41. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, amounting to $8,660.47, will be applied to maintenance, including removal of brush, overhanging trees, and other obstructions from the channels and banks of both sections of the diverting canal, by contract, from July to December 1945, along with miscellaneous inspections. The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 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 1946 Dredging deposits of silt from the Calaveras section of the diverting ------ $2, 500 canal, by contract, December 1946 _____________---- -------- 2, 000 Miscellaneous inspections, during entire fiscal year _- _ 500 Total for.maintenance _----------------------- 5, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945 __-_ $253, 151. 03 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 ----- - 109, 379. 38 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 --- 362, 530. 41 Net total expenditures ----------------------------------- 362, 530. 41 Unexpended balance June 30, 1945 ------------------------- 8, 660. 47 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945 ----- 371, 190. 88 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work Cost of maintenance $2, 577. 53 $1, 532. 11 $577. 59 $145. 94 $3, 016. 30 Total expended 2, 436. 40 1, 565. 10 583. 45 174. 68 3, 016. 30 Allotted 2, 000. 00 3, 000. 00 9, 000. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1944 __ $2, 676. 77 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act approved June 26, 1944 - $5, 000. 00 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act approved Mar. 31, 1945 4, 000. 00 9, 000. 00 Amount to be accounted for ----- 11, 676. 77 Gross amount expended --------------- 3, 016. 30 Balance unexpended June 30, 1945 ---- 8, 660.47 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, for maintenance ---------- 5, 000.00 1 Exclusive of available funds. 3. MOKELUMNE RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This river rises near the crest of the Sierra Nevada and empties into the San Joaquin River 20 miles above the mouth of the latter. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) 2078 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Existing project.-This .provides for the removal of snags and obstructions and occasional dredging of shoals from the mouth of the river to Galt-New Hope Bridge, a distance of 35 miles, includ- ing both forks. The mean lower low-water depths considered suf- ficient 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. ....................- I 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 fluctua- tion is 8 feet at the mouth and 17 feet at the upper end. The esimate of cost for new work, made in 1881, was $8,250. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance 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 Congress, first session (Annual Report for 1882, p. 2637). For latest published map see House Document No. 1160, Sixty-third Congress, second session. Terminal facilities.-The Western Pacific Railroad has ware- houses 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 com- merce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1885. Controlling depths are as shown in the table under existing project, except in the first section, where 12 feet is the controlling depth; in the third section, where 2 feet is the control- ling depth; and in the fourth section, where 8 feet is the controlling depth. The channel is reasonably free of obstructions to the head of navigation, except for a few that usually develop at low-water stages in the fall. The 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 1946. The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance, as follows: Dredging sand bars and shoals by contract, from mouth to New Hope Landing, July or August 1946 ------------------------------- $3, 500 Removing snags, overhanging trees, and other obstructions, by hired labor and Government plant, September 1946 ------------------- 1, 500 Total for maintenance ---- 000 5,,__--------- RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2079 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945 _____________--- -______ -$8, 500. 00 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 _______________-___- 65, 537. 01 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 - -- 74, 037. 01 Net total expenditures____________________________ 74, 037. 01 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945--_____------- 74, 037. 01 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work ........

Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1875, August 2, 1882, December 21, 1889, July 13, 1892, and August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1985, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1708, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 10 feet deep at mean lower low water and 150 to 200 feet wide from the mouth of the river to Sacramento, 59 miles; thence 6 feet deep at low water to Colusa, 85 miles; thence 5 feet deep at low water to Chico landing, 49 miles; and such depths as practicable thence to Red Bluff, 53 miles. Below Sacramento the results are to be obtained by means of wing dams, supplemented by dredging. Above Sac- ramento the results are to be obtained by removal of snags and concentration of the channel by temporary works, and stream-flow regulation by the Shasta Reservoir upon its completion.

For map of the section below Sacramento, see H. Doc. No. 1123, 60th Cong., 2d sess. Recommended modifications of project.-In House Document No. 1893, Sixty-fourth Congress, second session, it was recom- mended that Chico Landing, 52.4 miles downstream from Red Bluff, be made the head of the improvement. Terminal facilities.-At Sacramento there are 4,810 linear feet of wharves, of which 1,850 linear feet are owned by the city and 420 linear feet are open to general public use. There are 245,700 square feet of warehouse space, of which 103,700 square feet are owned by the city and 21,000 square feet are open to general public use. On the west bank, opposite Sacramento, are 4 wharves of a total length of 350 feet, with 108,560 square feet of warehouse space, all privately owned and used. Between Sacramento and Chico Land- ing there are 47 warehouses and numerous small landings. Freight is also handled on the bank. Between Sacramento and the mouth of the river there are, in addition to 1,440 linear feet of wharf with warehouse facilities at Rio Vista, 19 large wharves, about 38 large warehouses, and many small warehouses and landings, all owned and operated by private interests. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Above Sacramento: Snagging and clearing of brush were done by hired labor, from Colusa to points 20 miles upstream and 54 miles downstream, at a cost of $45,304.27. Repairs to wing dams were made between the mouth of Feather River and a point 5 miles downstream, at a cost of $11,497.17. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2081 At and below Sacramento: A pipe-line dredge under hourly basis contract removed 330,000 cubic yards from.the river between Y Street, Sacramento, and the mouth of American River, at a cost of $92,906.54. Special work on spoil areas, including rebuild- ing roads covered by dredge spoil, and grading, cost $1,511.06. Pipe-line dredging plant, under contract for its hire and operation, removed 21,551 cubic yards from the main channel 46 miles below Sacramento, at a cost of $4,529.66. Eight large snags were re- moved from the channel, at a cost of $1,018.86. Miscellaneous surveys of the river cost $4,896.70. Total cost for both sections was $161,664.26 for maintenance; total expenditures were $170,- 555. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The 10-foot channel below Sacramento was completed in 1931; the entire project is 33 per- cent complete. 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, provided a con- tinuous river flow of 5,000 second-feet is made available by opera- tion of the Shasta Dam and Reservoir. The controlling low-water depths 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, 3 feet. There is no regular navigation above Sidds Land- ing, 178 miles above the mouth, and no maintenance work has been done above this point since 1921. The total cost under the existing project was $4,435,910.58, of which $196,616.74 was for new work and $4,239,293.84 for main- tenance. Total expenditures were $4,432,657.75.

FEATHER RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This river rises in the Sierra Nevada, and empties into the Sacramento River about 21 miles above the city of Sacra- mento. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheet "Topographic Map of the Sacramento 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 contribution already made by local interests in accordance with the requirement of River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916. The latest (1931) approved estimate for annual cost of main- tenance is $1,500. Ordinary flood fluctuation is 20 feet and extreme flood fluctua- tion -s about 25 feet. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 1, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are several small landings, all pri- vately owned. All other traffic is handled on the bank. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. 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 con- struction of wing dams as needed. The controlling depth from the mouth at Verona 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. 2084 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 The total cost and expenditure under the existing project was $4,742.91 for maintenance. In addition, $3,840.10 was expended from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, amounting to $1,500, will be expended in the removal of obstruc- tions from the mouth of the river up to Nicolaus Bridge, 91/2 miles, by hired labor and Government or rented plant, in September 1945. The additional sum of $1,500 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance, in removing obstructions from the channel and banks by snagging, wing-dam work, and dredging, by hired labor and Government plant, in August or September 1946.

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 bychannel 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 con- nected 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, Stock- ton, and Lathrop.) RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2085 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, exclusive 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 document. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are no extensive terminal facilities on these waterways, other than bank landings along the channels, which are considered adequate. There is one large wharf with warehouse at Middle River Station with rail connection. Operations and results during fiscal 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 expenditures 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 1946. The additional sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance, in redredging channels 9 feet deep by 100 feet wide in Middle River below Borden Highway Bridge, in Empire Cut, Latham Slough, Whiskey Slough, and Turner Cut, by clamshell dredging plant under contract for its hire and operations, in September or October 1946.

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.) 2088 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Existing project.-This provides for dredging a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water from Suisun Bay to and in the basin at the town of Suisun, straightened by four cut-offs in the upper portion; channel widths to be 200 feet in the bar channel, 100 feet in the cut-offs, and a minimum of 125 feet in the remaining parts of the project channel; widening four bends located 5, 51/2, 71/2, and 121/2 miles below Suisun; the removal of ledge rock from the channel at a 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 1944, is $189,500. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $4,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: -Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 To secure a channel up to Suisun, 6 feet deep at H. Doc.

(Con- below Suisun; removal of ledgerock 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 main- tenance, undertake any necessary reconstruction of the power- line crossing over the proposed cut-off near Suisun, and provide at Suisun adequate public terminal facilities subject to the ap- proval of the Chief of Engineers. These requirements have been fulfilled except for the public terminals, which will be completed after the harbor dredging is done. 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 facilities will be increased in compliance with the provisions of local cooperation as land has been purchased, financing ar- ranged, and plans have been prepared for construction when dredging plant can be obtained economically. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 18 per- cent complete. The work remaining to be done is to provide a RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2089 channel 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 chan- nel, 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. 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.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, amounting to $14,015.33, 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 clamshell dredge under contract, in September and October 1945, and to surveys and removal of obstructions, January to June 1946. The additional sum of $164,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947, as follows: New work: Dredging 8-foot channel to project widths, from Suisun Bay to and in the harbor basin at Suisun, including four cut-offs, widening of 4 bends, and extension of harbor basin, under contract, January to May 1947_ _----------------_-------- $158, 000 Removal of ledge rock from channel at a point 2 miles below Suisun, by contract, January 1947 __________------_ 2, 000 Total for new work__________-------------------------------- 160, 000 Maintenance: Dredging channels in Suisun Channel and in harbor basin at Suisun, by contract, August or September 1946 --------- 4, 000 Total --------------------------------------------- 164, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945------------------------- $29, 419. 44 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945----------------- 31, 922. 64 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945----------- 61, 342. 08 Net total expenditures--------- ------------------------- 61, 342. 08 Unexpended balance June 30, 1945 -------------------______ 14, 015. 33 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945___---------75, 357. 41 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work - --.. $650. 62 $198.81 Cost of maintenance . . . -----. ..-- -------------- ----------- ---- -.---- Total expended 540. 99 258. 44 A l lo t te d _ .- - ---- . - - .- ------- 54.9.2- 140, 000.80.4.. 0 - $23, 0 00 - $110 , 0 l0 $950 Balance unexpended July 1, 1944_-------------------------- $13, 065. 33 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act approved Mar. 31, 1945------------------------------------ 950. 00 Amount to be accounted for_ __ 015. 33 1----------------4, Balance unexpended June 30, 1945_ -------------- 14, 015. 33 2090 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

OLD RIVER, CALIF. Location.-Old River is the most westerly branch of the inter- connecting tidal channels into which the San Joaquin River divides in crossing its delta. It leaves the main river 21/2 miles down- stream from the Mossdale State Highway Bridge, or 131/2 miles above the mouth of Stockton Channel, and flows westerly and northerly 32 miles to its lower confluence with the main river, 23 miles above its mouth in Suisun Bay. Existing project.-This provides for the easing of three sharp bends in Old River between its mouth and Orwood (Santa Fe) Bridge; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Santa Fe wharves and Phillips cannery at Orwood station; entrances 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Fabian-Bell Canal at its westerly end and just west of the Grant Line Highway Bridge; enlargement of Grant Line Canal west of Doughty Cut to a depth of 10 feet and width of 100 feet; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide with suitable alinement from the westerly end of Doughty Cut to the Holly Sugar Factory; a channel 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide from the southerly end of Doughty Cut to the head of Old River; and a channel 6 feet deep and 80 feet wide in the original channel of Old River from the westerly end of Grant Line Canal to the Lammers Ferry Road. All depths are referred to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the head of Old River is about 2 feet; and at its mouth about 4 feet; ordinary flood fluctuations are, respectively, 15 feet and 51/2 feet, extreme flood fluctuations are respectively, 19 feet and 8 feet. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1937 is $72,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $15,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 151, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish without cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenahce 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2091 Terminal facilities.-The Santa Fe Railroad has a warehouse and wharf at Orwood for transfer of farm produce from boat to rail. The Phillips' cannery at Orwood has similar facilities. The Holly Sugar Co. refinery and terminal near Tracy has a large wharf and an unloading basin with three mechanical unloading and conveying units connecting with a warehouse; there is also a passing basin one-half mile downstream. There are about 100 private bank landings along the project channels; some have sheds for storage. Public landings should be provided as set forth above under "Local cooperation." Operations and results during fiscal year.-Clamshell dredging plant, operating under contract for its hire and operation, removed 52,654 cubic yards from the channel in places, from Grant Line Canal to the Holly Sugar Factory near Tracy, at a cost of $15,- 634.13, including surveys and removal of obstructions, all for maintenance. Total expenditures were $17,095.13. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 32 per- cent complete, the work remaining to be done being completion of the project channels up to and at Orwood; in Fabian-Bell Canal, in Grant Line Canal, from Grant Line Canal to the head of Old River in San Joaquin River, and in the original channel of Old River from Grant Line Canal up to the Lammers Ferry Road, when the remaining requirements for local cooperation, including rights-of-way, spoil areas, and public lands, have been fulfilled. The controlling depths at the end of the fiscal year were as fol- lows: From the mouth of the river to Orwood, 11 miles, 10 feet; thence to the lower end of Grant Line Canal, 10 miles, 10 feet; thence (a) to Holly Sugar Factory near Tracy, 6 feet, or (b) to head of Old River in San Joaquin River, 4.5 feet. The total cost was $107,165.85, of which $23,184.86 was for new work and $83,980.99 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $107,165.85. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, amounting to $26,534.15, will be applied to maintenance, in dredg- ing 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, along with a small amount of snagging by hired labor, July to December 1945. The additional sum of $40,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947, the sum of $25,000 being for new work dredg- ing in the above channels; and the sum of $15,000 being for main- tenance 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 1946.

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. Portions of the channels of these creeks, after enter- ing 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 reser- voir; and for constructing a diversion canal from the reservoir northwesterly to Little Dry Creek, a tributary of the San Joaquin River. The improvements will control floods on Big Dry and Dog Creeks considerably 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 estimated 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 con- tains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to give as- surances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will pro- vide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project, hold and save the United States free from claims for damages due to construction and maintenance 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. Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2095 1945, approved by the Governor of that State on July 19, 1945, provides for these assurances. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The cost of work during the year was $4,526.21 for new work, and the expenditures were $4,276.08, for beginning the preparation of contract plans and specifications. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionwork on this proj- ect has not been started. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, amounting to $40,723.92, will be applied to new work during the fiscal year 1946 as follows: Accounts payable ______________________-__---- -______ $250. 13 Completion of contract plans and specifications__________------- 40, 473. 79 The additional sum of $435,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal years 1946 and 1947 for initiating construction of the various items of the project.

CALAVERAS RIVER AND LITTLEJOHN CITEEK AND TRIBU- TARIES, INCLUDING HOGAN AND FARMINGTON RESERVOIRS, CALIF. Location.-The streams comprising the Littlejohn Creek and Calaveras River groups rise in the Sierra Nevada and its foothills, flow westerly across the flat lands of San Joaquin Valley and 2096 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 empty into the San Joaquin River directly, or through various sloughs, in the vicinity of Stockton, Calif. The Littlejohn Creek group drains 487 square miles, of which 184 square miles are be- low the base of the foothills. It includes Lone Tree Creek to the south, Littlejohn Creek, and to the north, Duck Creek. This group is bordered on the north by the Calaveras River Group which in- cludes that river and its tributaries and Bear Creek to its north. The latter group drains 173 square miles below the base of the foothills and 560 square miles above. The valley lands are essenti- ally a delta area in which the streams of both groups are more or less interconnected by creeks and swales. Existing project.-This provides for- (a) Construction of Farmington Reservoir on Littlejohn Creek, Calif., for flood control and other purposes, at an estimated first cost of $1,561,000 and $7,000 annually for maintenance and operation. (b) Enlargement of Hogan Reservoir on Calaveras River, for flood control and other purposes, at an estimated first cost of $1,942,000 and $7,600 annually for maintenance and operation. (c) Construction of a diversion channel from Duck Creek to Littlejohn Creek, two dikes across downstream channels leading from Duck Creek to Mormon Slpugh; enlargement of 14.4 miles of existing channel, excavation of 1.3 miles of new channeland construction of 30.1 miles of levee on Bear Creek, at an estimated first cost to the United States of $365,200. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. No. 545, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-With respect to items (a) and (b) preced- ing, the State of California or other responsible agency must make arrangements for payment to the United States for the conservation storage provided in the enlarged reservoirs when used. The State of California officially has adopted the project. The State of California or other responsible local agencies must give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that for item (c) preceding, they will (1) provide without cost to the United States ~l11 lands, easements and rights-of-way necessary for constructioff of the works; (2) make all necessary bridge and utility alterations; (3) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; and (4) maintain and operate all works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945, approved by the Governor of that State on July 19, 1945, provides for the furnishing of the assurances as to levee and channel improvement work. Operations and results during fiscal near.-The cost and ex- penditures during the year were $3,168.70, for new work, in be- ginning the preparation of project plans and contract plans and specifications for construction of Hogan Dam and Reservoir. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionwork on this proj- ect has not been started.

Location.-The area covered by this project comprises the upper watershed of Kern River and Poso and Caliente Creeks, their valley alluvial fans, the Kern and Buena Vista Lake areas and that portion of the San Joaquin Valley south of Tulare Lake Basin, Kern River is the most southerly of the major streams flowing into the San Joaquin Valley and drains an area of some 2,400 square miles in the Sierra Nevada. North Fork and South Fork, headwaters of Kern River, have their sources in the high Sierra Nevada, flow south 83 and 67 miles, respectively, and join near the town of Isabella to form Kern River, which flows thence south- west 72 miles past the city of Bakersfield to a point in the valley trough just north of Buena Vista Lake. River flows at this point are either diverted into the Buena Vista Lake Basin for temporary storage or are carried northwest along the trough of the valley toward Tulare Lake Basin by improved flood and irrigation chan- nels. Under normal conditions of run-off the flow of Kern River below Bakersfield is gradually dissipated by irrigation diversions so that Kern River water reaches Tulare Lake Basin only during large floods. Poso Creek drains an area of 290 square miles lying west of Isabella and north of Kern River. Its flows are usually dissipated before reaching the valley trough. Caliente Creek drains an area of 470 square miles adjoining the lower Kern Basin to the south. Its flows are dissipated in the valley floor south of 2100 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Bakersfield. The valley area dependent for water supply on Kern River and Poso and Caliente Creeks, commonly called the service area, is approximately 1,560 square miles in extent. Existing project.-This provides for construction of Isabella Reservoir on Kern River, Calif., for flood control and other pur- poses, at an estimated first cost of $6,800,000 and $30,000 an- nually for maintenance and operation. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. No. 513, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Payment, as determined by the Secretary of War upon the basis of continuing studies by the Bureau of Reclamation, the War Department, and local organizations, is to be made to the United States by the State or other responsible agency for the conservation storage when used. Local interests have indicated they will meet these requirements. The State of California has officially adopted the project. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The cost of work during the year was $5,605.30 for new work, and the expendi- tures were $5,400.48, for beginning the preparation of a project plan and contract plans and specifications for construction of Isabella Dam and Reservoir. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction work on this proj- ect has not been started. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1945, amounting to $44,599.52, along with an allotment of $160,- 000 made in August 1945 will be applied to new work as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1945--------------------------- $204. 82 Continuation of preparation of a project plan and of contract plans and specifications _ ------ - 204, 394. 70 Total ------------------------------------------- 204, 599.52 The additional sum of $2,000,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal years 1946 and 1947 ($500,000 of this total in 1946) for new work, completion of plans and specifications and initiation of construction.

KINGS RIVER AND TULARE LAKE, INCLUDING PINE FLAT RESERVOIR, CALIF. Location.-The area covered by this project comprises the up- per watershed of Kings River, its valley, alluvial fan or delta, and the lake bed known as Tulare Lake. The upper basin above the town of 'Piedra is rugged and mountainous. Below Piedra the river enters the relatively flat alluvial valley where the river di- vides, one branch known as Fresno Slough flowing north to join the San Joaquin River, and the second south to Tulare Lake, an area which in its unreelaimed state varied from a completely dry condition to a body of water some 750 square miles in extent. There is no natural outlet from this lake as it is separated from the San Joaquin Basin by a low ridge, but lake waters have es- caped over this ridge at least once since settlement of the region. Tulare Lake also receives floodwaters of Tule, Kaweah, and Kern Rivers in some years. The area below Piedra, including Tulare Lake, is known as the Kings River Service Area. Existing project.-This provides for construction of the Pine Flat Reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 1,000,000 acre- feet and of the supplemental channel improvement work, at an estimated total first cost of $19,700,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. No. 630, 76th Cong., 3d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Payment, as determined by the Secretary of War upon the basis of continuing studies by the Bureau of Rec- lamation, the War Department, and local organizations, is to be made to the United States by the State or other responsible agency for the conservation storage when used. Local interests have indicated they will meet these requirements. The State of Cali- fornia has officially adopted the project. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The cost of work during the year was $4,860.57 for new work. and the expenditures were $4,107.81, for beginning the preparation of project plans and contract plans and specifications.

FOLSOM RESERVOIR, SACRAMENTO RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Location.-The proposed Folsom damsite is located on the American River about 21/2 miles above or northeasterly of the town of Folsom in Sacramento County, Calif., and about 1 mile FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2103 below the confluence of the north and south forks of this stream. The proposed reservoir would extend from the damsite up the main river to this confluence and about 7 miles further upstream in each of the two forks. The American River system originates on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, and the main river flows into the Sacramento River at the city of Sacramento. The lower portion of the American River, 25 miles below Folsom, is in the Sacramento Valley. The drainage area of the river system contains 2,115 square miles, of which 1,875 square miles are above the proposed damsite. Existing project.-This provides for the initial construction of a dam to a height of 265 feet above bottom of stripping with gross storage of 355,000 acre-feet, at an estimated cost of $18,474,000, with facilities for future power generation. The ultimate plans provide for enlarging the dam to a height of 354 feet with a gross storage of 1,000,000 acre-feet, at a total estimated cost of $34,094,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. No. 649, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-None required, except payment for con- servation costs. The State of California has officially adopted the project. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The cost of work during the year was $29,152.08 for new work, and the expendi- tures were $25,641.79 for beginning the preparation of project plans and contract plans and specifications. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Plans are in preparation. Con- struction work on this project has not been started..

KAWEAH AND TULE RIVERS, INCLUDING TERMINUS AND SUCCESS RESERVOIRS, CALIF. Location.-The area covered by this project comprises the upper watersheds of Kaweah and Tule Rivers, their valley alluvial fans and the reclaimed Tulare Lake Basin, their common terminus. Kaweah River, which drains an area of 1,250 square miles, is formed by the junction of its North, Middle, and South Forks near Three Rivers, flows southwest 10 miles through low foothills and emerges on the valley floor near the town of Lemon Cove. At this point the river divides into two channels, the flow to each being divided equally by control weirs. The northerly channel, known as St. Johns River, flows west 23 miles and unites with Cottonwood Creek to form Cross Creek, which flows thence south- west 35 miles to Tulare Lake Basin. The southerly channel, which continues as Kaweah River, flows southwest 4 miles and then divides into numerous distributary channels. Flows in these chan- nels not diverted for irrigation or lost by seepage cross the delta region and unite with Tule River or Cross Creek to enter Tulare Lake Basin. Tule River, which drains an area of 630 square miles adjoining the Kaweah Basin on the south, is formed by the junc- tion of its North and Middle Forks near Springville, flows south- west 13 miles and emerges on the valley floor near the city of Porterville. From this point the river continues west 39 miles across the alluvial fan to Tulare Lake Basin. Existing project.-This provides for construction of the Termi- nus and Success Reservoir projects, including supplemental spreading works, at an estimated first cost of $8,050,000 and $13,- 000 annually for maintenance and operation of the reservoirs. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. R. Flood Control Comm. Doc. No. 1, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2105 Local cooperation.-Payment,as determined by the Secretary of War upon the basis of continuing studies by the Bureau of Reclamation, the War Department, and local organizations, is to be made to the United States by the State or other responsible agency for the conservation storage when used. Local interests have indicated they will meet these requirements. The State of California has officially adopted the project. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No allotment was made and there were no operations during the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work has not been initiated. Proposed operations.-Thereare no unexpended balances. The sum of $160,000, allotted in August 1945, will be applied to pre- liminary investigations and to the preparation of plans and speci- fications for the Terminus Reservoir. The additional sum of $1,120,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal years 1946 and 1947 ($500,000 of this total in 1946) for new work, as follows: Terminus Reservoir: Completion of contract plans and specifica- tions and initiation of construction______________________ $1, 000, 000 Success Reservoir: Completion of the project plan and of con- tract plans and specifications_________ ---------------- 120, 000 Total -------------------------------------------- 1, 120, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945-------------------- Cost of maintenance to June 30s 1945_____________________----------- Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945________----------- Net total expenditures__________ Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945_________________ Amount allotted in August 1945------------------------- $160, 000. 00 Unobligated balance available for fiscal year 1946------------ 160, 000. 00 Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for comple- tion of existing project_______________________ ___ ________ 8, 050, 000. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal years 1946 and 1947 for new work___ __ _ 1, 120, 000. 00 19. LOWER SAN JOAQUIN RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, INCLUDING TUOLUMNE AND STANISLAUS RIVERS, CALIF. Location.-The area covered by this project comprises the San Joaquin River and its watershed north of Kings River and other streams tributary to Tulare Lake Basin, which together constitute the south half of the San Joaquin Valley, and which, except dur- ing major floods, contribute no run-off to the San Joaquin River. Streams in the latter area, Littlejohn Creek and Calaveras River stream groups, and minor tributaries in Merced County, are re- ported upon separately. The San Joaquin River has its sources in the Sierra Nevada, and flows generally southwest through the mountains and foothills to the vicinity of Friant, where it enters the flat alluvial valley through which it flows west 60 miles to Mendota midway of the valley floor. At Mendota the river turns northwest and flows 157 miles to Mossdale at the head of the San Joaquin delta, an extensive area of reclaimed tidal swamplands through which the river flows with numerous side channels and 2106 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 sloughs to join the Sacramento River at the head of Suisun Bay near Pittsburg. The river drains an area of 17,000 square miles, exclusive of the Tulare Lake Basin drainage area. Merced, Tuolumne, Stanislaus, and Mokelumne Rivers, principal tribu- taries of the San Joaquin River, likewise have their sources in the Sierra Nevada, and flow in a generally westerly direction through the mountains and foothills to enter the alluvial valley and join the main river from the east in its lower reaches. Stock- ton, at the head of the delta, and Fresno, just south of the San Joaquin watershed, are the principal commercial and distributing centers serving the area under consideration. The lower San Joaquin River is under improvement for navigation, the existing project providing for a 30-foot ship channel to Stockton and vari- ous minor improvements for the benefits of light-draft navigation in the delta channels. Existing project.-This provides for (a) construction of New Melones Reservoir on Stanislaus River, Calif., for flood control and other purposes, at an estimated first cost of $7,210,000 and $30,000 annually for maintenance and operation; (b) an expendi- ture toward the first cost of the proposed New Don Pedro reser- voir or other suitable reservoirs in the Tuolumne Basin, in amount justified by proportionate benefits to flood control, estimated at $5,800,000 for the equivalent of 320,000 acre-feet of storage at the Jacksonville Reservoir site; and (c) construction of channel im- provement works and levee construction and reconstruction on San Joaquin River and tributary channels, at an estimated first cost to the United States of $2,875,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. R. Flood Control Comm. Doc. No. 2, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.- (a) New Melones Reservoir (Stanislaus River): Payment, as determined by the Secretary of War upon the basis of continuing studies by the Bureau of Reclamation, the War Department, and local organizations, is to be made to the United States by the State or other responsibile agency for the conservation storage when used. Local interests have indicated they will meet these requirements. The State of California has officially adopted the project. (b) In Tuolumne Basin: Local interests are to construct, maintain, and operate the dams and reservoirs, allocate storage for flood control and agree to operate such storage in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. (c) San JoaquinRiver: Local interests are to (1) furnish flowage rights to overflow certain lands along the main San Joaquin River and all lands, easements, and rights- of-way necessary for construction of levees; (2) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works in the San Joaquin River and tributary channels, and their sub- sequent maintenance and operation; and (3) maintain all levees and channel improvements after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945, approved by the Governor of that State on July 19, 1945, provides for the meeting of the latter requirements as to levee and channel improvement work.

SACRAMENTO RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, CALIFORNIA FROM COLLINSVILLE TO SHASTA DAM Location.-The works covered by this improvement are on the Sacramento River and tributaries in north central California from Collinsville to Shasta Dam. Existing project.-This project provides for the construction and enlargement of levees along the Sacramento and Feather Rivers in Butte Basin and in Sutter and Yolo By-Passes; local improvements, chiefly levees, on nine minor tributaries of the Sacramento River; the construction of the Black Butte Dam and Reservoir on Stony Creek, westerly from Orland, Glenn County; and for the construction of a low level dam and reservoir, with power facilities at Table Mountain in Tehama and Shasta Counties. The levee construction supplements the program of levee improvements being accomplished pursuant to the Flood Control Act of March 1, 1917, as amended by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1941. (See report of California Debris Com- mission, p. 2436). 2108 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944 (H. Doc. No. 649, 78th Cong., 2d sess.), which authorized to be appropriated for the initiation of the project the sum of $15,000,000. The estimated Federal cost of the project is $50,100,000. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. With respect to conservation storage to be provided by the Table Mountain and Black Butte Reservoirs, payment, as determined by the Secretary of War upon the basis of continuing studies by the Bureau of Reclamation, the War Department, and local organizations, is to be made to the United States by the State or other responsible agency for this storage when used. Chapter 1514 of the Statutes of 1945, State of California, ap- proved July 19, 1945, provide for the furnishing of the required measures of local cooperation. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preliminaryinvesti- gations and studies for the Table Mountain Dam and Reservoir were initiated at a cost of $34,350.76 for new work. Expenditures were $28,801.06. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Preliminary studies for the Table Mountain Dam and Reservoir have been initiated. The costs and expenditures for new work are $34,350.76 and $28,- 801.06, respectively. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance at the end of the fiscal year, $21,198.94, plus $300,000 allotted in August 1945, will be applied to accounts payable and to preparation of plans for Table Mountain Dam and the Sacramento River levees. The additional sum of $2,000,000 can be profitably expended in fiscal years 1946 and 1947 for continuation of the preparation of plans and for initiation of construction of Table Mountain Dam.

REDMOND AND VICINITY, SEVIER RIVER, UTAH Location.-Sevier River drains an area of about 11,100 square miles of the Great Basin in southwestern Utah. It rises in the mountains of southern Utah, flows northerly about 240 miles, thence southwesterly 85 miles and empties into Sevier Lake, which has no outlet. Redmond is on the west bank of the river 155 miles above its mouth. San Pitch River enters Sevier River from the east 12 miles below Redmond. The section of Sevier River Valley in this project extends from the crossing of United States High- way No. 89, near Salina, about 3 miles above Redmond, down- stream to the head of Sevier Bridge Reservoir, a total distance of 25 miles. The drainage area above Redmond is 3,820 square miles. Upstream from the section under consideration the basin consists of rugged plateaus and mountains cut by narrow stream valleys. Between Salina and the San Pitch River the stream flows through a mountain valley averaging about 4 miles wide. Sedi- ments carried from the steeper upstream areas and deposited in the valley section have raised the stream bed about 10 feet during the past 40 years. The channel, which in 1900 could carry about 2,600 cubic feet per second, now has a bankful capacity of about 400 cubic feet per second and is bordered by extensive swamps. Existing project.-This provides for the improvement of Sevier River in the vicinity of Redmond, Utah, by construction of a leveed channel commencing near Salina and extending about 50,000 feet downstream, of a levee extending from the Westview diversion dam at its proposed relocated site to Redmond Lake Dam, and of two diversion dams, at an estimated cost to the United States from Federal funds of $281,000 for construction. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. No. 614, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Local interests are to contribute $48,000 to the first cost and furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secre- tary of War that they will (a) provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necesssary for con- Atruction of the works; (b) hold and save the United States free 2110 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 from damages due to the construction works; (c) construct the three new highway bridges and the irrigation flume required, ex- tend and improve the two irrigation canals, extend the outlets of the existing tile drainage system to the improved river channel, and construct the open drainage ditch at Redmond; and (d) main- tain 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 require- ments. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No allotment was made and there were no operations during the fiscal year. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-Work has not been started. Proposed operations.-There is no unexpended balance as of June 30, 1945. An allotment of $25,000 for new work made in August 1945 will be applied to preparation of project plans and of contract plans and specifications. The additional sum of $256,000 can be profitably expended for new work during the fiscal year 1947, for construction of the project works.

SNAGGING AND CLEARING UNDER AUTHORITY OF SECTION 2 OF THE FLOOD CONTROL ACT APPROVED AUGUST 28, 1937, AS AMENDED The Flood Control Act approved August 28, 1937, as amended by the Flood Control Acts approved August 11, 1939, and August 18, 1941, authorized the allotment of not to exceed $500,000 from the flood control appropriations for any one fiscal year for the removal of accumulated snags and other debris from, and the clearing and straightening of channels in, navigable streams and tributaries thereof, when such work is advisable in the interest of flood control; provided that not more than $25,000 shall be al- lotted for this purpose for any single tributary from the appropri- ations for any one fiscal year. SDuring the fiscal year ending June 30, 1945, snags, brush, and other debris were removed from the flood channel of Fresno Slough, near Burrel, Calif., under contract, at a cost of $25,000 FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2111 for new work. Clearing of the inlet channel to Buena Vista Lake near Buttonwillow, Kern County, Calif., was 26 percent completed by hired labor with rented plant. The work will be completed early in July, 1945, and total cost will be entered at that time. Total costs and expenditures during the fiscal year were $25,000, for new work.

EMERGENCY FLOOD-CONTROL WORK UNDER AUTHORITY OF PUBLIC LAWS NOS. 138 AND 318, SEVENTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS Because of the heavy demands for emergency repair work to flood-control structures damaged or destroyed by the disastrous floods which occurred in the spring of 1943 and again in the spring of 1944, Congress, in the act approved July 12, 1943, Public No. 138, Seventy-eighth Congress, and in the act approved May 29, 1944, Public No. 318, Seventy-eighth Congress, authorized the amounts of $10,000,000 and $12,000,000, respectively, to be ap- propriated as emergency funds to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of War and the supervision of the Chief of Engi- neers for the repair, restoration, and strengthening of levees and other flood-control works which had been threatened or destroyed by the recent floods. During the year ending June 30, 1945, funds in the amount of $595,000 were allotted for emergency repairs and 2112 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 rehabilitation of flood-damaged structures in the Sacramento District. Operations during the fiscal year included repairs to flood- damaged levees in Reclamation District 17 and below Mendota Dam on the San Joaquin River, and in the San Joaquin River Delta; in the Tulare Lake; and Kings River area, including the north side of Tulare Lake, the north side of El Rico Reclamation District, along Kings River near Hanford, and along Tule River and Kaweah River in Tulare County. Along the Feather River, levees were repaired near Gridley Bridge above Marysville, and near the mouth of Bear River. Repairs and reenforcement of flood- damaged levees at Humboldt Lake, Nevada, were begun. Total costs during the fiscal year 1945 were $587,798.37, for maintenance, and total expenditures were $675,457.66. Total costs and expenditures to June 30, 1945, were $1,499,469.19 and $1,489,295.37 respectively. The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, $172,928.40, plus $6,000 allotted in July 1945, will be applied during the fiscal year 1946 to accounts payable and completion of work postponed because of a shortage of man-power and equipment, on Feather River, San Joaquin River and the Tulare Lake and Kings River area, and also to the completion of work at Humboldt Lake, Nevada.

Location.-Chetco River rises in the Siskiyou Mountains of the Coast Range at an elevation of 4,000 feet, flows for a distance of about 51 miles in a circuitous route and empties into the Pacific Ocean at Brookings, Oreg., 300 miles south of the entrance to Columbia River and 345 miles north of San Francisco Bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5702 and 5896.) Existing project.-This provides for the stabilization of the channel through the bar at the mouth of the river by the con- struction of jetties and by dredging. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range in the cove between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.9 feet and the extreme range is from 2.6 feet below to 9.7 feet above mean lower low water. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1939 is $190,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $8,000. The existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 817, 77th Cong. 2d sess.). Local cooperation.-River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, requires that local interests furnish free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent maintenance when and as required; and furnish free of cost to the United States a suitable quarry or source of royalty-free rock for construction of the jetties.

COQUILLE RIVER, OREG. Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range, flows in a gen- eral westerly direction for about 100 miles, and empties into the Pacific Ocean at Bandon, Oreg., 225 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River and 420 miles north of San Francisco Bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 5971.) Previous projects. Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 14, 1880, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1986 of the Annual Report for 1915 and page 1727 of the Annual Re- port for 1938. Existing project. This provides for two rubble-mound high- tide jetties at the river mouth, the south jetty 2,700 feet long and the north 3,450 feet; and for a channel 13 feet deep at mean lower low water and of suitable width from the sea to a point 1 mile above the old Coquille River Lighthouse, and for snagging to the State highway bridge at the city of Coquille. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher water at the mouth is 6.8 feet and the extreme range about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, was $316,- 640 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $22,000 for dredging and snagging. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of jetties.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, requires that local interests assume the entire expense of providing and maintaining an adequate channel in the river above the eastern end of the north jetty. Requirements are being com- plied with to the extent of removing snags. No channel dredging has been necessary. Terminal facilities.-At Bandon there are two privately owned wharves suitable for handling coastwise vessels. The existing terminals are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographic sur- veys were made. Total costs for the fiscal year were $1,792.61. Expenditures were $1,623.80. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1933. The jetties were completed in 1908, and the en- tr-ance channel in 1933. The north jetty was reconstructed in 1942 and is in good condition. The outer 200 feet of the south jetty has subsided below ordinary low-water level. The crest of the remaining portion of the enrockment is above low water. A survey in May 1945 shows a controlling depth of 12 feet across the ocean bar and 71/2 feet between the bar and Bandon in a chan- nel 200 feet wide. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $927,150.52, of which $316,640.21 was for new work and $610,510.31 for maintenance. Total expenditures have been $926,971.39. In addition $72,891.20 was expended from contribu- ted funds for new work.

COOS RIVER, OREG. Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range in southern Oregon, flows about 60 miles in a westerly direction, and empties into Coos Bay near Marshfield, Oreg. (See U. S. Geological Sur- vey, Coos Bay, quadrangle.) Existing project.-This provides for snagging and boulder re- moval in a channel width of 50 feet from the mouth of the river to the head of navigation in both forks, to provide a depth of 3 feet generally and 1 foot near the heads of navigation. The section under improvement includes the mouth and 51/2 miles of the main river and about 81/2 miles of each fork. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges under ordinary conditions at the mouth of the river are 7.3 and 11 feet, respectively, and there is a tidal range of about 1 foot at the head of navigation in the forks. Freshet stages usually reach a height of from 10 to 15 feet at Allegany, head of navigation on the North Fork. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1898, was $8,000. The latest (1923) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance 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 published map is in this dccument. Terminal facilities.-There are several small privately owned wharves and landing places on the river that are used by small launches. There are no publicly owned wharves. The existing ter- minal facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2125 Conditionsat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1899. The controlling depth is about 5 feet in the main river from the mouth to the forks (51/2 miles) and about 3 feet in the north and south forks for a distance of 81/2 and 9 miles respec- tively. Total costs and expenditures have been $74,242.17, of which $8,000 was for new work and $66,242.17 for maintenance.

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.) 2126 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 Re- port 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 1800 feet south of the outer end of the north jetty; for dredg- ing to provide a usable entrance channel 26 feet deep, and a river channel 22 feet deep and 200 feet wide, from the mouth to Reeds- port, a distance of about 11 miles, with a turning basin at Reeds- port 1,000 feet long, 600 feet wide, and 22 feet deep; 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 turn- ing basis 10 feet deep, 175 feet wide and 300 feet long at the inner end; and for a channel 22 feet deep and 200 feet wide from the main river channel near mile 8 to Gardiner, Oreg., and a turning basin of the same depth, 500 feet wide and 800 feet long, opposite Gardiner. 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. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1945, is $2,- 477,700 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and $276,500 contributed and $10,000 to be contributed by local inter- ests. The latest 1945 approved estimate for annual cost of main- tenance is $196,000, including jetty maintenance.

Local cooperation.-Requirements of local cooperation for all work authorized prior to 1945 have been fully complied with and approved. Under the provisions of River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, State or other local interests are required, for the Win- chester Bay channel, to contribute $10,000 to the first cost and RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2127 furnish free of cost to the United States suitable areas for spoil disposal for initial work and subsequent maintenance, when and as required and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvements; for the Gardiner channel local interests are to furnish assurances that the Gardiner mill will be operated to produce an average daily output of 100,000 feet board measure for 300 days per year; that the mill wharf or other suitable wharf will be open to all on equal and reasonable terms; and that local interests furnish free of cost to the United States, when and as required, all lands, easements, and rights-of- way and soil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent maintenance, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvement. 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 ship- ping. The existing terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographic sur- veys were made during June 1945. Two recording tide gages were installed for use in collecting data required in connection with model studies of location and design for rehabilitation of the south jetty. Model studies were initiated at the Vicksburg Experimental Station. Total costs for the fiscal year were $17,165, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $10,766.08. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 96 per- cent complete. The north jetty was completed in 1930. The exten- sion to the south jetty was completed in 1938 and the dredging of a 22-foot channel from the mouth of the river to Reedsport, to- gether with a turning basin at Reedsport, was completed in 1941. The north jetty was reconstructed in 1942 and is in good con- dition. 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. A survey in June 1945 shows a controlling depth of 13 feet on range and 15 feet possible south of range. The remaining work required to complete the project is the construction of the Gardiner channel and turning basin, and the Winchester Bay channel and turning basin, both authorized by River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945. Total costs under the existing project have been $3,820,122.70, of which $2,388,706.06 was for new work and $1,431,416.64 for maintenance, not including $276,500 for new work from con- tributed funds. Total expenditures have been $3,812,851.87. In addition $276,- 500 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, amounting to $86,004.31, will be applied as follows for mainte- nance : 2128 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 (con- structed by local interests) and for a channel 10 feet deep and gen- erally 150 feet wide in Yaquina River and 200 feet wide in Depot Slough, extending from the town of Yaquina to Toledo, about 9 miles. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges under ordinary conditions at the mouth of the river are 8.1 feet and about 12 feet, and the same at Toledo. Freshet heights are about 12 feet at the mouth of Depot Slough. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1911, was $72,000, including $43,200 contributed by local interests. The latest (1911) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Doc. No. 519, 62d Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in that document. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-At Yaquina, at the mouth of the river, which is also the head of the bay, there is a small wharf of about 50 feet frontage. The Port of Toledo has a public wharf in Depot Slough, at Toledo, with frontage of about 600 feet. The city of Toledo also has a public wharf of about 50 feet frontage on Depot Slough built to accommodate small motorboats. There are also at Toledo two privately owned slips having special facilities for trans- ferring lumber to lighters. These terminals are considered ade- quate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographicsur- veys were made during May 1945. Total costs for the fiscal year were $3,640.08. Expenditures were $258.27. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1914. The controlling depth between the mouth of the river and Toledo is about 8 feet at mean low water in a channel *2607-46-pt. 1, vol. 2-58 2130 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 low water. Total costs have been $100,339.49, of which $28,800 was for new work and $71,539.49 for maintenance, not including $43,200 for new work and $3,000 for maintenance from contributed funds. Expenditures have been $96,957.68 in addition $46,200 was ex- pended from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, in- cluding accounts receivable, amounting to $9,752.50, will be ap- plied as follows: -___ Accounts payable ______- ________________________ _ $3, 392.58 Maintenance dredging between Yaquina and Toledo, by contract or Government plant and hired labor, March 1946------------4, 359. 92 Hydrographic surveys ------------------------------------- 2, 000. 00 Total ---------------------------------------------- 9, 752. 50 The additional sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 as follows: Maintenance dredging between Yaquina and Toledo, by contract, December 1946 ------------------------------------------ $8, 000 Hydrographic surveys ---------------------------------------- 2, 000 Total ---------------------------------------------- 10, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945-------------------------- $28, 800. 00 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945----------------------- 71, 539. 49 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 100, 339. 49 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1945------------------------ 10. 77 Gross total costs to June 30, 1945------------------- 100, 350. 26 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1945------------------------ 3, 392. 58 Net total expenditures----------------------------- 96, 957. 68 Unexpended balance June 30, 1945___________________________ 9, 741. 73 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945 ------------ ' 106, 699. 41 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new w ork ..------------ --------- - ---................- _ . . . .

YAQUINA BAY AND HARBOR, OREG. Location.-This bay is located on the Oregon coast, 115 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 6058.) Previous projects.-The River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880, provided for the improvement of the entrance. Subsequent proj- ects 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 Congress, 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 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; for five groins chan- nelward from the south jetty; insofar as the rock bottom will allow for a channel 26 feet deep and of suitable width across the en- trance bar, for a channel 20 feet deep and 300 feet wide from the outer end of the jetties upstream and along the south side of the bay a distance of about 2 miles to McLean Point with a turning basin at the upstream and 22 feet deep, 1,000 feet wide and 1,200 feet long; and for a channel 18 feet deep and 200 feet wide from the 20-foot channel at about Mile 1, along the city docks at New- port, thence upstream to the abandoned railroad terminus at Yaquina, a distance of about 41/2 miles. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal range 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 1945 is $1,808,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance-dredging in the bay and entrance is $82,500. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for maintenance of the north jetty is $12,000 annually to be applied at intervals of several years. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of the south jetty. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 2132 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-All requirements of local cooperation for work authorized prior to 1945 have been fully complied with. The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides that local interests furnish assurances that they will provide adequate ter- minal facilities open to all on equal and equitable terms, furnish free of cost to the United States all spoil-disposal areas necessary for the improvements and their subsequent maintenance, when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvements. 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 seagoing 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 ade- quate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographicsur- veys were made during the year. Total costs for the fiscal year were $391.68. Expenditures were $562.02. Condition at end of fiscal year.-- The existing project is 91 per- cent complete. Restoration of the present jetties was completed in 1934 and the extension to the north jetty in 1940. Both jetties are in good condition. A survey of May 1944 shows a controlling depth of 181/2 feet on the entrance range and between the jetties, 22 feet to Newport, and 17 feet to Yaquina. The remainitg work required to complete the project consists of dredging the existing channel across the entrance bar, insofar as rock bottom will allow. to a depth of 26 feet, and existing channel from the outer ends of the jetties, upstream, a distance of about 2 miles, to a depth of 20 feet and 300 feet wide and dredging a turning basin 22 feet deep, 1,000 feet wide and 1,200 feet long. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $2,495,483.82, of which $1.645,589.30 was for new work and $849,894.52 for maintenance. Total expenditures have been $2,- RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2133 495,483.82. In addition, $729,168.48 was expended for new work from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, plus an anticipated allotment will be applied to operation of a sea- going hopper dredge on the bar and entrance channel about 1 month May 1946, including surveys, $37,513.36. The additional sum of $192,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 as follows: New work: Preparation of plans and specifications $2, 000 -------------- Construction of 26-foot channel across entrance bar, 20-foot channel from outer end of jetties upstream about 2 miles and a turning basin, by contract and by Government plant and hired labor ------------ 160, 000 Total new work ----------------------------------- $162,000 Maintenance: Operation of a seagoing hopper dredge on the bar and in the entrance channel about 1 month, May 1947 ----------------- $24, 000 Hydrographic surveys -------------------------- 6, 000 Total maintenance ------------------------------------ 30, 000 Total all work --------------------------------------- 192, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945 --------------------- 1 $2, 352, 902. 75 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 ---------------------- 855, 920. 03 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 ------- 3, 208, 822. 78 Net total expenditures -- __---------- 13, 208, 822. 78 Unexpended balance June 30, 1.945 ----------- 5, 513. 36 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945 -------- '3, 214, 336. 14 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work $1, 635. 45 Cost of maintenance 36,350.63 $11, 300. 53 $1, 900. 16 38 $2,129. $391. 68 Total cost.__ 37, 986. 08 I 1 1, 300. 53 I '1, 900. 16 I 38 2,129.

DEPOE BAY, OREG. Location.-This harbor is located on the Oregon coast, 100 miles south of the mouth of Columbia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geo- detic Survey Chart No. 5902.) Existing project.-This provides for a breakwater north of the entrance, for an entrance channel 8 feet deep and 30 feet wide, and for an inner basin 350 by 750 feet, 8 feet deep, with a retain- ing wall along the easterly side. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher water and the extreme rise at the en- trance above the plane of reference are 7.8 feet and about 11.5 feet respectively. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $245,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $5,500. The River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 202, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), authorized construction of an inner basin 375 feet long, 125 feet wide, and 5 feet deep, with entrance channel of same depth and 30 feet in width. The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 350, 77th Cong., 1st sess.) modified the project to provide for the exist- ing project as described. The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation.-Provisions of River and Harbor Act ap- proved August 26, 1937, have been fully complied with except for the construction of a public terminal. Under the provisions of the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, local interests are required to furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the improvements and their subsequent maintenance, when and as required, hold and save the United States free from claims for damage resulting from the improvements, and save and hold free for use of the public as a roadway, promenade, or landing, a strip at least 60 feet wide along the easterly side of the retaining wall for its full length. Terminal facilities.-Terminal facilities consist of two small landings just inside the entrance, privately owned and used by operators of excursion and fishing boats. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Dredging by Gov- ernment plant and hired labor was done during May and June RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2135 1945. Costs for the fiscal year were $7,400.27. Expenditures were $9,533.07. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is 12.6 percent complete. Dredging of the basin and entrance channel to a depth of 5 feet was completed in 1939. No construction work has been done on the retaining wall, entrance jetty or increased depths of the entrance and basin authorized under River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, as a modification of this project. The controlling depth in the basin and entrance channel at the end of the fiscal year was 5.3 feet. Total costs have been $79,469.53, of which $30,961.19 was for new work and $48,508.33 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $79,033.07. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, including accounts receivable, amounting to $543.73, plus an an- ticipated allotment of $7,000, a total of $7,543.73 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable __ ___ ___---------------------------- $513. 25 Maintenance dredging in the entrance and inner basin, by Govern- ment plant and hired labor, April and May 1946--------------- 6, 530. 48 Hydrographic surveys ---------------- 500. 00 Total _ --------------------- 7, 543.73 The additional sum of $221,500 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 as follows: New work: Preparation of plans and specifications------------- $1, 000 Construction of a breakwater north of the entrance, and an entrance channel and inner basin with a depth of 8 feet with a retaining wall along the easterly side -- ________ 213, 000 Total, new work ---------------------------------- $214, 000 Maintenance: Dredging entrance and inner basin to depth of 5 feet, by Government plant and hired labor, April and May 1947 ---------------------------------- $7, 000 Hydrographic surveys ----------------------------- 500 Total, maintenance 7, 500 .-- Total, all work_-------------- _______----. 221, 500 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945 -------------------------- $30, 961. 19 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 ------------------------ 48, 508. 33 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 ---------- 79, 469. 52 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1945 ----------------------- 76. 80 Gross total costs to June 30, 1945------------------- 79, 546. 32 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1945 ----------------------- 513. 25 Net total expenditures ---------------------------- 79, 033. 07 Unexpended balance June 30, 1945 ---------------------------- 466. 93 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945 -------- 79, 500. 00 2136 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

SALMON RIVER, OREG. Location.-Salmon River, a small coastal stream, rises on the west slope of the coast range, flows westerly 22 miles and empties into the Pacific Ocean on the south side of Cascade Head about 84 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5902.) Existing project.-This provides for removal of dangerous rocks in the section below "3 Rox" to natural-bottom depths, not to exceed 5 feet at mean lower low water. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean tidal range at the mouth between mean higher high water and mean lower low water is about 6 feet and the extreme range about 13 feet. The estimate of cost of new work made in 1939 was $5,000 with annual maintenance of $500. The existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act, approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 551, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.-With the exception of a landing for small boats at "3 Rox" there are no public or other terminal facilities along the river.

TILLAMOOK BAY AND BAR, OREG. Location.-This bay is located on the Oregon coast about 50 miles south of the mouth of Columbia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5902 and 6112.) Previous projects. Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of Au- gust 11, 1888, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1989 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1474 of Annual Report for 1936. 2138 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Existing project.-This provides for a jetty about 5,700 feet long on the north side of the entrance; for a channel through the bar 18 feet deep and of such width as can be practically and eco- nomically obtained; for a channel 200 feet wide and 18 feet deep from deep water in the bay to Miami Cove, including a turning basin 500 feet wide in Miami Cove; for a channel to Hobsonville, 200 feet wide and 16 feet deep, with turning basin 500 feet wide at Hobsonville, and regulating works as needed. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of refer- ence and the extreme tidal range at the entrance are 7.4 feet and about 13 feet, respectively. The estimate of cost for new work revised in 1942 is $604,450, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1925) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $25,000 for entrance and bay channels. No provision was made for maintaining the jetty. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 11, 1888 Improvement of Dry Stocking bar and Hoquar- H. Ex. Doc.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1925, provides that no work is to be done in the Hobsonville Chan- nel 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 co- operation have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Tillamook has about 1,000 feet of wharves fronting on Hoquarton Slough, all privately owned. At Garibaldi there is a privately owned wharf and a publicly owned float land- ing suitable for small boats. The existing facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographic sur- veys were made during June 1945. Total cost for the fiscal year were $922.42, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $1,366.23. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 98 per- cent complete. The jetty was completed in 1933 and is in poor condition with about 800 feet at the outer end below low water level.. A survey in June 1944 shows a controlling depth of 131/2 RIVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2139 feet in the entrance channel, 91/2 feet in the bay channel to Miami Cove and 10 feet in the channel to Hobsonville. The remaining work required to complete the project is the dredging of the Hob- sonville channel and turning basin, which work will not be done until navigation requires deeper water.. Total costs under the existing project have been $1,451,636.68, of which $574,446.78 was for new work and $877,189.90 for main- tenance, not including $398,832.70 for new work and $6,450 for maintenance from contributed funds. Total expenditures have been $1,451,636.68 from United States funds and $405,282.70 from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, plus anticipated allotment will be applied as follows: Operation of a seagoing hopper dredge in the entrance and bay channel about 1 month, August 1945 --------------------- $30, 000. 00 Repairs to north jetty by contract -------------------- 10, 000. 00 Hydrographic surveys ------------------------------------ 5, 077. 58 Total -------------------------------------------- 45,077. 58 The additional sum of $44,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 as follows: Maintenance dredging in entrance and bay channel by a seagoing hopper dredge, July and August, 1946----------------- $40, 000 Hydrographic surveys ---------------------------- ----------- 4, 000 Total ----------------------------------------------- 44, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945 ----------------------- $651, 655. 70 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 ----------------- 1948, 688. 37 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 ------- 1, 600, 344. 07 Net total expenditures ________-_ _ 1, 600, 344. 07 Unexpended balance June 30, 1945 ------------------------- 13, 077. 58 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945 --------- 1, 613, 421. 65 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1V1942 * '1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work_ Cost of maintenance- ..--------.. $24, 292. 40 $97, 924. 64 $1, 392. 89 $4, 390. 07 $922. 42 Total expended_ 24, 292. 40 96, 543. 32 2, 460. 41 4, 260. 06 1, 366. 23 Allotted .- _ 23, 000. 00 52, 000. 00 -- 27, 000. 00 14, 000. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1944 -------------------------- _ $443. 81 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act approved June 2, 1943 $10, 000. 00 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act approved June 26, 1944 ___ 30, 000. 00 -- - 40, 000. 00 Amount to be accounted for ------------------------ 40, 443. 81 Deductions on account of revocation of allotment ----------- -26, 000. 00 Net amount to be accounted for1 ________- _ ______--- _ 4, 443. 81 Gross amount expended -- ------ -- $1, 965. 49 1 In addition, $405,282.70 was expended from contributed funds, $398,832.70 for new work and $6,450 for maintenance. 2140 REPORT OP CHIEP OF ENGINEERS, U.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT THE MOUTH, OREGON AND WASHINGTON Location.-This river rises in British Columbia, through which it flows for 425 miles. It enters the United States in northeastern Washington, flows southerly to the mouth of Snake River, thence westerly between Oregon and Washington, and empties into the Pacific Ocean 645 miles north of San Francisco Bay and 160 miles south of the Straits of Juan de Fuca. The total length of the river is 1,210 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5902, 6151, 6152, 6153, 6154, 6155, and 6156; also Geological Sur- vey map of Washington.) Previous project.-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 operat- ing the dredge, made in 1905, $250,000; a total of $14,230,737, ex- clusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $65,000 to cover the cost of hydrographic surveys only. Jetty maintenance is done only at intervals of several years and is cov- ered by special allotments. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905, making final provision for the south jetty, the construction of the north jetty, and dredging (H. Doc. No. 94, 56th Cong., 1st sess., and Annual Report for 1903, p. 2275). The construction of the north jetty was approved July 29, 1910, and a modification of its alinement December 27, 1913. The latest pub- lished map is in the Annual Report for 1921 opposite page 1868. Local cooperation.-The existing project contains no conditions requiring local cooperation. However, during 1914 the port of RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2141 Portland contributed $475,000 and the port of Astoria $25,000 to this improvement. These amounts have been expended, the greater part having been applied to the purchase of stone for the north jetty. Terminal facilities.-Forterminal and transfer facilities see re- port on Columbia and Lower Willamette Rivers. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A total of 393,127 cubic yards of material was removed from the entrance channel near buoy G-10 Clatsop Spit, by the U. S. dredge Col. F. S. Michie. Opening of a quarry and the construction of a road from the quarry to the land end of jetty A in connection with the reconstruction of jetty A was completed during the year. Repairs were made to dike 110-6 and to sand fences. Total costs for the fiscal year were $152,929.17. Expenditures were $155,599.83. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted 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 and a section near the shore have subsided and are in need of repair. The seas have broken through the narrow portion of Sand Island about 2 miles from the east end. At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depths were 44 feet on the bar and 38 feet in the entrance channel. The total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $21,179,981.21, of which $11,357,506.35 was for new work and $9,822,474.86 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $21,175,912.63. In addition, $475,000 and $25,000 were contributed by the ports of Portland and Astoria respectively, and expended for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, plus an anticipated allotment, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable $4, 087. 29 Repairs to jetty A, by contract, July 1945 to March 1946 - 283, 720. 00 Operation of a seagoing hopper dredge in the entrance channel about 1 month, September 1945 __________-___----------_ 30, 000. 00 Building and maintaining sand fences, by hired labor, during fiscal year --------------------------------------------- 4, 510. 59 Hydrographic surveys emergencies -------------------------- 8, 900. 00 Total ------------------------------------ 331,217.88 The additional sum of $65,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 as follows: Operation of a seagoing hopper dredge in the entrance channel about 1 month, September 1946 _-____---- ___--_ $30, 000 Building and maintaining sand fences by hired labor during fis- cal year ------------------------------------------------ 5, 000 Repairs to Sand Island revetments, by hired labor, during fiscal year ----------------------------------------- 20, 000 Hydrographic surveys ----------- 10, 000 Total ----------------------------------------------- 65, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945 ----------------- $13, 343, 759. 49 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 ----------------- 9, 822, 474. 86 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 - '23, 166, 234. 35 2142 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

SKIPANON CHANNEL, OREG. Location.-This channel is a tidal waterway extending south 2.7 miles from deep water in Columbia River. The channel enters the Columbia about 10 miles above its mouth and 4 miles below Astoria, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) 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 Chan- nel, 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 mainte- nance is $16,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2143 Acts Work authorized Documents' July 3, 1930 Channel from deep water in the Columbia River H.

No. 201, 75th Cong., 1st sess. road bridge a distance of 4,500 feet. 1 Contain latest published maps. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. 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 shipments. In the channel above the railroad bridge the only facilities are the log dumps used by the log trucks. These facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredg- ing of the channel between the Columbia River and Warrenton, including the turning basin, was done by Government plant and hired labor, during June 1945. A total of 400,528 cubic yards of material was removed, restoring project dimensions. Total costs for the fiscal year were $36,164.56. Expenditures were $55,740.21. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. The controlling depths at the end of the fiscal year were 29 feet in the channel and turning basin, thence 22 feet to the railroad bridge at Warrenton, and 6 feet above the bridge. Total costs have been $343,494.36, of which $130,119.35 was for new work and $213,375.01 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $337,871.08.

YOUNGS BAY AND YOUNGS RIVER, OREG. Location.--Youngs River is a tributay of the lower Columbia River. It empties into Youngs Bay south and west of Astoria, Oreg., about 10 miles above the mouth of the Columbia. The total length of the river is about 20 miles, of which the lower 8 miles are tidal. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 10 feet deep and 150 feet wide, from the Columbia River to the foot of Haven Island, a distance of about 21/2 miles across Youngs Bay and 4 miles in Youngs River. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and extreme tidal range about 13 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1932, is $5,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,800. RIVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2145 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 ware- house on the Astoria side of Youngs Bay, located just above the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad bridge, and a log dump on the south side of Youngs Bay, just above the highway bridge. The existing terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. A controlling depth of 81/2 feet prevailed in a channel 150 feet wide below the highway bridge with project dimensions to Haven Island. The head of navigation is 11/2 miles above Haven Island and the controlling depth in the latter section is about 4 feet at mean lower low water. The total costs and expenditures have been $9,566.58, of which $9,347.51 was for new work and $219.07 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, amounting to $10,500 will be applied to maintenance dredging in sections of the channel in Youngs Bay, by contract, May 1946. No funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947.

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 2140, and of Willamette River, page 2155. 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 Re- port for 1915, and page 1746 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 35 feet deep and 500 feet wide in the Columbia River from its mouth to the mouth of the Willamette, 99 miles and thence up the Willamette to Port- land, about 14 miles; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the Colum- bia 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., ex- tended at its upper and lower ends to deep water in the Columbia River, 8 feet deep and 150 feet wide from this depth in Columbia River through the old mouth of Cowlitz River to a point approxi- mately 3,000 feet upstream from the present terminus of the har- bor line; and a channel from the Longview Port dock downstream along the pierhead line and past the Weyerhauser 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; and for the construction of stone and pile dikes and revetments. The existing project also provides for main- tenance to not to exceed 35 feet depth at low water, over such areas in the project channel of the Willamette River between its mouth and the Broadway Bridge, Portland, as have been dredged under the existing project by the port of Portland, no 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 Portland and Vancouver about 21/2 feet at low stages of the rivers. Extreme tidal ranges are about 13 and 3 feet, respectively. An- nual freshets have but little effect on depths at the mouth of the Columbia; at Portland and Vancouver they average about 20 feet, while the highest known reached a stage of 33 feet above low water. The estimate of cost for new work, exclusive of amounts ex- pended on previous projects and exclusive of contributed funds in RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2147 the amount of $102,570.99, revised in 1945, is $4,005,000 including the dike construction authorized in 1912 and 1922, and for a chan- nel 35 feet deep by 500 feet wide, but not including $2,500 con- tributed toward the auxiliary channel at Rainier, the work con- tributed by the Port of Portland, nor the estimate of $750,000 for a new dredge authorized by Congress in 1922 for better mainte- nance, nor enlargement 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 (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $827,100.

ARMY, 1945 Local cooperation.-Requirementsof cooperation prior to 1945 have been fully complied with. The River and Harbor Act ap- proved March 2, 1945, provides under modifications therein au- thorized that local interests furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the improvements and their subsequent main- tenance when and as required, hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvements and dredge and maintain to a depth of at least 28 feet the area abutting the proposed channel opposite the wharf of the Weyer- hauser Timber Co. at Longview, Wash. Terminal facilities.-At Portland, Oreg., there are under public ownership three terminals for general cargo. There is one dry- dock of 10,000 tons and another of 15,000 tons capacity, both under. public ownership and operation. Under private ownership, but open to the public on equal terms, are 11 general cargo, 5 grain and flour, 6 lumber, 1 cement, and 9 crude-oil and gasoline terminals, besides outfitting 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 receiv- ing 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 ele- vator 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 Weyerhauser Timber Co. have wharves in the same vicinity for the shipment of lumber. At other small towns on the Columbia River between Portland and Astoria there are sufficient private facilities to accommodate the river steamers, and at seven points there are large sawmill docks used entirely for the shipment of lumber in ocean-going car- riers. 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.) Operation and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredg- ing was done, with Government plant or hired plant, in all bars and channels where surveys indicated considerable shoaling. Ap- proximate project dimensions were maintained throughout the year. A total of 4,947,931 cubic yards of material was removed from 29 bars at a cost of $395,095.63. Repairs to dikes and dolphins including surveys were made at a cost of $37.520.99. Snagging in Columbia was done during the year. Hydrographic survey of bars and channels were made at a cost of $58 096.71. Total costs for the fiscal year were $493,727.09 all for mainte- nance. Expenditures were $494,372.14. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2149 Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project is 98 per- cent complete. The channel project was completed in 1933, except that a revision at Harrington Point was made in 1935; the dikes were completed in 1935, and the extension of the Vancouver turn- ing basin in 1939. The channel is in good condition. At the end of the fiscal year, the controlling depth in the Columbia River was 35 feet. Above the mouth of the Willamette River, the Vancouver Channel had a controlling depth 30 feet and in the Willamette River a depth of 34 feet was available. Project depths are maintained except during short shoaling periods, following freshets which generally occur in May, June, or July. In the Columbia and Willamette Rivers between the mouth and Portland a draft of 30 feet at low tide and 33 feet at high tide is practicable throughout the year. In the Columbia River between the mouth of the Willamette River and Vancouver, Wash., drafts of 26 feet and 28 feet are practicable throughout the year at low and high tides respectively. The remaining work required to complete the project is the con- struction of an auxiliary channel in the vicinity of the port of Longview and the improvement of the old mouth of the Cowlitz River. Total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1945, have been as follows: United States funds New work Maintenance Total Regular_ $3, 327, 509. 69 $12, 774, 326. 76 $16, 101, 836. 45 Public Works 446, 296. 19 446, 296. 19 Emergency Relief_ 138, 449. 04 98, 667. 57 237, 116. 61 Total United States funds ........ 3, 912, 254. 92 12, 872, 994. 33 16, 785, 249. 25 Contributed funds .................... 102, 570. 99 24, 319. 82 126, 890. 81 Total all funds 4, 014, 825. 91 12, 897, 314. 15 16, 912, 140. 06 Total expenditures have been $16,100,527.49 from regular funds, $446,296.19 from Public Works funds, and $237,116.61 from Emer- gency Relief funds, a total of $16,783,940.29 from United States funds and $126,890.81 from contributed funds, a grand total of $16,910,831.10.

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 Lumber 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 Co- lumbia 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 mainte- nance 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.-Conditions of 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.-Hydrographic sur- veys were made in February 1945. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $108.72. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. A survey in February 1945 shows a controlling depth of 27 feet in a channel 200 feet wide. The channel is in good condition. Total costs and expenditures have been $29,544.02 of which $16,276.19 was for new work and $13,267.83 for maintenance. 2152 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, amounting to $6,891.28, will be applied to maintenance dredging in the channel, by Government plant, September 1945. The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance dredging in the channel, by Government plant September 1946.

CLATSKANIE RIVER, OREG. Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range in Oregon, flows northwesterly about 28 miles, and empties through Beaver and Wallace 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 Re- port 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 Clatskanie 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2153 The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1915, was $4,620. The latest (1924) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $7,000.

Clatskanie to the Columbia River. (Contains latest published map.) Local cooperation.-The existing project contains no conditions requiring local cooperation. The Columbia Agricultural Co. and the citizens of Clatskanie, however, subscribed funds which were expended in dredging a cut-off 6 feet deep, 40 feet wide, and ap- proximately 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 five private wharves which have regular steamboat service. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing com- merce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1924. The channel is in fair condition, with a controlling depth of 1 foot at low water. Total costs and expenditures under 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.-An anticipated allotment of $10,000 will be applied to maintenance dredging in the channel, by contract, September 1945.

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 mainte- nance is $3,300.. The existing project was authorized by the Public Works Ad- ministration February 15, 1935, and by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 47, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Terminal facilities.-Near the north end of the channel 4,000 feet above the mouth and near St. Helens, Oreg., the St. Helens Pulp & Paper Co. has a wharf with 500 feet frontage. The St. Helens creosoting plant at the mouth of Scappoose Bay on Mult- nomah Channel has a mooring place for tankers of moderate draft. Near the south end of the channel the quay wharf of the B. F. Johnson Lumber Co., 300 feet in length, is the only terminal used for making ocean shipments. Other facilities on the channel con- sist 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 sufficient 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. A survey of January 1944 showed the controlling depth to be 23.5 feet in a channel 250 feet wide at the south end, and 25 feet in a channel 300 feet wide at the north end of Mult- nomah Channel. Depths in the remainder of the channel vary from 8 to 50 feet. A draft of 20 feet is practicable at low water at each end of the channel, and in the remainder of the channel depths are sufficient to accommodate river vessels. Total costs and expenditures have been $18,173.61, of which $18,112.28 was for new work from Public Works funds, and $61.33 for maintenance from regular funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, amounting to $10,000, will be applied to maintenance as follows: Snagging and hydrographic surveys by Government plant and hired labor October 1945 -------------------------------------- $1, 200 Balance remaining ---------------------------------------- 8, 800 Total ------------------------------------ 10, 000 RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2155 The additional sum of $1,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for hydrographic surveys and snagging.

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; for such channel improvement and contraction works as may be necessary to secure, with stream flow regulation, controlling depths of 6 feet at low water from Oregon City to the mouth of Santiam River, (108.5 miles above the mouth), and 5 feet from that point to Albany (120 miles above the mouth) ; for 2156 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 a channel 2.5 to 3.5 feet deep at low water and of no prescribed width from Albany to Corvallis (132 miles above the mouth) ; and for necessary snagging between Corvallis and Harrisburg (163 miles above the mouth). The project also provides for a channel in the 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 obstructions. The section of Willamette River in the vicinity of Willamette Falls at Oregon City is covered by a project described on page 2160 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 or- dinary fluctuation of stage of water is 15 feet and the extreme fluctuation due to flood conditions 35 to 50 feet. Above Oregon City the ordinary 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 21/2 feet at the mouth of the Willamette to zero 26 miles above the mouth. The approved estimate (1945) of cost for new work on the existing project is $1,700,000 including $193,158 for completion of the channel between Albany and Corvallis and $1,100,000 for "Open river improvement" exclusive of amounts expended previ- ously. The latest (1945) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $236,000 including $4,000 for operations and care of the lock and dam in Yamhill River.

Terminal facilities.-Between Portland and Willamette Falls the terminals are privately owned mill wharves and oil-receiving stations. Above the falls there are small wharves privately owned or natural landings. These facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year-New work.-Excava- tion of the channel to project depth of 21/2 to 31/2 feet between Albany and Corvallis was started April 1, 1945, and continued dur- ing the fiscal year. The upper 5 miles of the channel were com- pleted. Maintenance.-Channel rectification work at Wheatland Bar was completed September 12, 1944, and the new channel opened to traffic. Maintenance dredging on bars and shoals by Government plant and hired plant and the removal of snags by Government plant resulted in maintaining sufficient depths for navigation re- quirements. Total costs for the fiscal year were $376,161.39, of which $52,- 350.15 was for new work and $323,811.24 for maintenance, in- cluding $5,341.42 for operation and care. Expenditures were $433,094.20. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 39 per- cent complete. The 8-foot channel between Portland and Oregon City and the 21/2 to 31/2 foot channel between Oregon City and Albany were completed in 1939. The 21/2 to 31/2 foot channel be- tween Albany and Corvallis is 27 percent complete. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of the completion of the channel work between Albany and Corvallis and the construc- tion of such contraction works and channel improvements as may be necessary, with stream flow regulation, to secure controlling depths of 6 feet at low water from Oregon City to the mouth of Santiam River and 5 feet from that point to Albany. The controlling depths are 8 feet from Portland to Oregon City, 31/2 feet from Oregon City to Albany and 1 foot from Albany to Corvallis; and on the Yamhill River the depth is 4 feet from the mouth to the Yamhill lock and 2 feet from the lock to McMinnville. Traffic above Oregon City is confined to tow boats, log rafts, Gov- ernment and hired dredges and launches, except between Oregon City and Pulp Siding (about 3 miles) where barges are used in the transportation of paper and wood pulp products. Between Albany and Corvallis the river is navigable only at its higher stages. 2158 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, tJ. S. ARMY, 1945 The Yamhill lock and grounds are in fair condition, but the dam is in poor condition. The total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $3,851,062.67, of which $501,956.50 was for new work, $3,302,435.34 for maintenance, and $46,670.83 for operation and care. Expenditures have been $3,821,347.89. In addition, the sum of $106,433.23 was expended between September 24, 1900, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of works of im- provement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appro- priations for such purposes. In addition, $7,500 was contributed and expended for maintenance and $484,900 from emergency flood- control funds was expended for new work.

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 construction of a new single-lift main lock and a guard lock each with clear dimensions of 56 feet by 400 feet and minimum depth over the sills of 8 feet, to replace the authorized existing facilities which were provided for by 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 construction of a concrete division wall. The total length of the existing canal and locks is about 3500 feet. The following table shows the principal features of the exist- ing canal and lock 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.3 Type of construction: Concrete. Year of completion: 1873. Purchased by United States April 26, 1915. Cost: Unknown. Purchase price, $375,000. 1 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. 2 A 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 nower nlants operated by the Crown Willamette Paper Co. and the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. The dam is owned by private parties. 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 estimated cost, revised in 1945, is $4,240,000. The esti- mate of annual cost of operation and care, revised in 1945, is $101,000.

Expenditures were $117,- 972.57 ($15,853.94 flood-control funds and $102,118.63 river and harbor funds). Condition at end of fiscal year.-The final report on the pur- chase and rehabilitation of the existing canal and locks was given in the Annual Report for 1923, when the project was reported 98 percent complete. No further work is considered necessary. The depth over the miter sills is 6 feet at low water. The existing locks and grounds are in fair condition and are continu- ously serviceable except when high water or repairs prevent. No construction work has been done on the new lock and guard lock authorized under Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, and River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, but plans and specifica- tions have been completed. Total costs to June 30, 1945, have been $1,656,733.69, of which $511,065.17 ($377,122.20 for purchase and rehabilitation of exist- ing canal and lock from river and harbor funds, and $133.942.97 for preliminary work on proposed new lock and guard lock from 672607--46--pt. 1, vol. 2--6Q 2162 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

COLUMBIA RIVER BETWEEN VANCOUVER, WASH., AND BONNEVILLE, OREG. Location.-This improvement consists of the construction of a ship channel between the Interstate Bridge at Vancouver, Wash., and the deep-draft ship lock at Bonneville Dam, 144 miles above the mouth of the river. For description of Columbia River, see page 2140. 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, and for a suitable turning basin ad- jacent to the site of port development in the vicinity of Camas and Washougal, Wash. The lower end of the project is about 105 miles above the mouth of the river. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at Vancouver is about 21/2 feet and at Bonneville about 0.2 foot at low stages of the river. Extreme tidal ranges are about 3 feet and 0.4 foot respectively. Annual freshets average about 21 feet at Vancouver, while the highest known stage reached 33 feet above low water. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $3,196,- 800. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $201,000. The 27-foot channel between Vancouver and Bonneville was authorized by River and Harbor Act approved August 26, 1937 (River and Harbor Committee Doc. No. 94, 74th Cong., 2d sess.) and the turning basin at Camas and Washougal by River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 218, 76th Cong., 1st sess.) The latest published maps are in these documents. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides in connection with the Camas-Washougal turn- ing basin that local interests furnish assurances that they will construct a suitable freight terminal, open to all on equal terms, and bear additional cost of disposing of dredged material behind bulkheads provided by them; and provides that no dredging will be performed by the United States within 50 feet of the proposed dock. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal facilities at present available 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 2166 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Washougal, Wash., which will be available for ocean vessels when adequate channel is provided. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredg- ing of the channel between the Interstate Bridge and river Mile 6 was done by Government plant and hired labor. A total of 234,824 cubic yards of material was removed. A total of 542 cubic yards of rock revetment was placed on Government Island by hired labor. Hydrographic surveys were made as required. Total costs for the fiscal year were $37,399.28 all for mainte- nance. Expenditures were $37,314.57. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 84 per- cent complete. The main channel between Vancouver, Wash., and Bonneville was completed in 1942 except for the removal of 3100 cubic yards of rock reef at Mile 10, and dredging and disposal of 28,000 cubic yards of blasted material at Mile 16. The controlling depth at low water in the channel between the Interstate Bridge at Vancouver, Wash., and Bonneville, Oreg., is about 15 feet. During summer freshets the controlling depths are increased to depths ranging from 15 to 33 feet. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of completion of the channel work at Miles 10 and 16, the improve- ment of the lower entrance to the Bonneville ship canal, and the construction of a turning basin adjacent to the site of the proposed port development in the vicinity of Camas and Washougal, Wash. Total costs have been $3,007,705.15, of which $2,712,793.02 was for new work and $294,912.13 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $3,007,586.40. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, plus an anticipated allotment will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Accounts payable $118.75 Dredging shoals in channel between Vancouver, Wash., and Bonneville, Oreg., by Government plant and hired labor, December and January 1945 ------------------ 112, 000. 00 Repairs to existing dikes and revetments by contract Decem- ber 1945 ----------------------------------------- 34, 844. 85 Hydrographic surveys --------------------------------- 12, 000. 00 The additional sum of $569,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 as follows: New work: Removal of 3,100 cubic yards of rock at Mile 10 and dredging and disposal of 28,000 cubic yards of blasted material at Mile 16, by contract ----------- $39, 000 Improvement of the lower entrance to the Bonneville ship canal, by contract _------------------------- 400, 000 Total new work --_-------------------------------$439, 000 Maintenance: Dredging shoals in channel between Vancouver, Wash., and Bonneville, Oreg., by Government plant and hired labor, April to May 1947 _--- ---- $80, 000 Repairs to existing dikes and revetments by contract September 1946 40, 000 _---------------_ RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2167 Hydrographic surveys -------------------------- $10, 000 Total maintenance 000 _----------------------------------$1 Total all work ___ ______________________________ _ 569, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945 ---------------------- ___ $2, 712, 793. 02 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 ---------------------- 294, 912. 13 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 ---- 3, 007, 705. 15 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1945 ----------------------- 118. 75 Net total expenditures ___ 3, 007, 586. 40 Unexpended balance June 30, 1945 ------------------------ 84, 963. 60 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945 ---------- 3, 092, 550. 00 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work ________ $1, 170, 442. 59 $348, 819. 29 $193, 130. 97 ______________.. ............

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 1605. 2168 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Existing project.-This project provides for a dam, power plant, and lock, for power and navigation. The spillway dam ex- tends across the main river channel from the Washington shore to Bradford 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 twvo 350-ton gantry cranes for regulating the gates. The powerhouse extending across Bradford Slough to the Oregon shore has an installation of 10 units, consisting of 2 units of 43,200 kilowatts each and 8 units of 54,000 kilowatts each total- ing 518,400 kilowatts. The ordinary and extreme fluctuations of the river at the lower lock gate are about 21 and 47 feet, respec- tively. 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 spillway dam provides a navigable channel, with depths of 30 feet and over, between Bonneville and Big Eddy, a distance of 47 miles. The principal data concerning the ship lock and spillway dam are shown in the following table: Ship lock Dimensions: Feet Clear width of chamber_ -___-_ 76 Greatest length available for full width- . 500 Lift (vertical) : At extreme low water and normal pool level _____________ 66 At normal river stage____--- _____________________ 59 At extreme high water -------------------------- About 30 Depth over miter sills at adopted low water__________________ 24. 2 Character of foundation, Andesite.

The estimated cost of the dam, navigation lock, 10-power unit generating installation, fishways, and attendant buildings and grounds, revised in 1945, is $81,386,000 of which $6.209,500 is for navigation facilities, $36,588,940 is for power facilities, and $38,587,560 is for joint facilities, consisting of dam, fishways, buildings and grounds, and the head-wall section of power units No. 0-6, cost of which ($2,016,817) is allocated to dam and reser- voir facilities. The estimated annual cost of operation and main- tenance is $650,000, $72,400 of which is for navigation, $356,000 is for power, and $221,600 for joint facilities. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2169 The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents The existing project was originally authorized Sept. 30, 1933, by the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works. Aug. 30, 1935 Existing project authorized by Congress _________ Senate committee print, 73d Cong., 2d sess. (Report of Chief of Engineers, dated Aug. 21, 1933.) Aug. 20,19371 This act authorized the completion, maintenance, and operation of the Bonneville project under the direction of the Secretary of War and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers, subject to certain provisions contained therein relating to the powers and duties of the Bonneville power administrator. 1 Public No. 329, 75th Cong. Terminal facilities.-At the Port of The Dalles (mile 44 above Bonneville) there is a municipal wharf 125 by 1,100 feet for use of both ocean vessels and river boats. There are two one-story timber and corrugated-iron warehouses, each 94 by 461 feet, on this wharf. Rail connection to the municipal wharf is now under con- struction. There is also a municipal oil terminal consisting of a concrete and timber wharf, 27 by 193 feet, located about a mile below the main wharf. There are private storage tanks with a total capacity of 2,300,000 gallons located near this terminal for handling petroleum products from ocean vessels and river boats. Storage tanks have rail and truck connections. A private elevator with a capacity of 40,000 bushels and a public elevator of 500,000 bushels capacity for handling bulk grain to ocean or river craft are also located at The Dalles. The public elevator has rail and truck connections. There is a privately owned rail connection about three-fourths mile below the municipal wharf where certain types of cargo may be handled between railroad cars and river boats or barges, by means of a derrick of 22-ton capacity. The facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during the fiscal year-New work.- Work was resumed on the spare 60,000 kilovolt-ampere, 13.8 kilo- volt-115 kilovolt transformer remaining under contract. Since the beginning of September 1943, the elevation of the Bonneville pool has been raised to elevation 78.0 from a normal pool level of elevation 72.0 during the low-water season, at all times that such increase would make more power available for war work. This change has made approximately 9 percent more power available during the low-water periods, and a large percentage of this power has been sold. Operating and care.-The existing project with 10-power units was operated throughout the fiscal year, with only minor inter- ruptions, except for routine maintenance as scheduled. The total cost of work done during the year amounted to $717,- 059.88 of which $107,613.58 was for new work, including $31,- 2170 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 886.90 for features other than power installation, $75,726.68 for power features, and $609,446.30 for maintenance (operation and care), including $359,572.98 for power facilities. Total expenditures were $889,961.52, of which $632,935.68 was for features of work other than power and $257,025.84 for power features. T'ondition at the end of the fiscal year.-The existing project is 98 percent complete. Power facilities.-The powerhouse with 10-power units and a station service unit is completed, except for such miscellaneous work as was postponed until after the war, and is in operation. The rated capacity of the plant is 518,400 kilowatts. Navigation facilities.-The navigation lock is completed and has been open to river traffic since January 1938. Dam and reservoir.-The spillway dam is completed, except for minor work, and is in operation. All work in connection with the reservoir is completed, except for the consummation of some set- tlements, land acquisition, and protective construction. Fishways.-All fish ladders, collecting systems, and locks are completed and in operation. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of completing miscellaneous items of work in the powerhouse and on the other project features. The total costs and expenditures of work done under emergency funds to the end of the fiscal year amounted to $32,440,700, all for new work. The total costs of the work done under regular funds to the end of the fiscal year amounted to $50,753,273.40, of which $47,736,- 442.63 was for new work and $3,016,830.77 for maintenance (oper- ating and care) ; total expenditures were $50,700,423.78.

THE DALLES-CELILO CANAL, OREG. AND WASH. Location.-This improvement embraces about 12 miles of the Columbia River between The Dalles and Celilo, Oreg. (See U. S. Geological Survey map of Oregon.) Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1993 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1842 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for open-river improvement from the foot of Threemile Rapids to the foot of The Dalles (Five- mile) Rapids, and a continuous canal on the Oregon shore from the foot of The Dalles (Fivemile) Rapids to the head of Celilo Falls, the canal to have a depth of 8 feet, width of 65 feet at the bottom, and length of 81/2 miles, with four locks, as follows: Detailed information of locks Dimensions Lift Miles Avail- from Great- able lower est depth When en- Lock Foundation length on com- Cost trance avail- Clear Low High lower pleted able for width water water sill full width Feet Feet Feet Feet Feet 0 Big Eddy Lock 1___ Rock__________ 265. 0 45. 0 45. 0 18. 0 8. 9 1941 $477, 600 1. 6 5. 2 Fivemile lock --- .. _____do.________ Tenmile lock 2 _________do_________ 265. 0 265. 0 45. 0 50. 0 12. 0 -..... 15. 0 6. 0 8. 7 7. 8 1915 1915 246, 700 149, 600 8. 1 Celilo lock 2_____________do_____ . 265.0 45. 0 -------- 6. 0 7. 9 1915 103, 200 1 Originally constructed tandem locks converted to single lift lock in 1941. 2 Not used at low water. 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2177 The normal pool level at the lower end of the canal has an eleva- tion 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 1945, is $105,000.00. 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 ap- proved June 26, 1934. For latest published map see Annual Re- port for 1915, page 3380. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied 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 and locks were in continuous operation throughout the year.

A depth of 7 feet is available the entire year with a depth of 8 feet available 85 percent of the time. Total costs under the existing project have been $5,643,336.46, of which $4,669,092.33 was for new work and $5,445.17 for main- tenance and $968,798.96 for operation and care. Total expendi- tures have been $5,638,844.87. 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 provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, plus an anticipated allotment will be applied as follows: 672607--46--pt. 1, vol. 2--61 2178 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

COLUMBIA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES ABOVE CELILO FALLS TO THE MOUTH OF SNAKE RIVER, OREG. AND WASH. Location.-This project includes improvement of the 128-mile stretch between the head of Celilo Falls and Kennewick, Wash. For brief description of Columbia River see page . (See U. S. Geological Survey Map of Washington.) Pevious project.-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 depth or width between Wallula and the mouth of the Snake; for an approach channel 6 feet deep at low water from the navigation channel in the Columbia River to the site of port de- velopment at Arlington, Oreg.; for removal of obstructions in the channel from the mouth of the Snake River to Kennewick, Wash.; and for an approach 6 feet deep from the channel in the Columbia River to the site of terminal developments at Kennewick. The section included in the project is 128 miles long. The lower end of the project is about 200 miles from the mouth of the river. The summer freshets occur from May to August and the ordinary freshets reach a stage of 21 feet on Umatilla gage. The highest flood (1894) reached a stage of 341/2 feet at Umatilla. Freshets due to rains sometimes occur in the early winter, but rarely exceed a 9-foot stage. Ice conditions, usually occurring in January or February, sometimes suspend navigation for 2 weeks or more. The Umatilla Dam authorized by River and Harbor Act ap- proved March 2, 1945, will, when completed, obviate the necessity of channel work between the lower end of Umatilla Rapids and the mouth of the Snake River. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945 is $1,544,000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $51,- 250. The existing project was authorized by the following River and Harbor Acts: Acts Work authorized DocumentsI Apr. 8, 1935 Emergency Relief Appropriation Act; authorized 1 the existing project as an emergency relief (Rivers'and Harbors Committee Doc. project.

ARMY, 1945 Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides that for each of the Arlington and Kennewick channels local interests give assurance that they will construct a suitable freight terminal, open to all on equal terms, and for the Kennewick channel that they furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the improvements and their subsequent mainte- nance, when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvements. 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 warehouses 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 petroleum products with capacities and locations as follows: At Pasco, Wash. (mile 127.2 above Celilo), 2,700,000 gallons with rail con- nections; at Attalia (mile 117 above Celilo) 5,500 000 gallons, and at Umatilla, Oreg. (mile 88 above Celilo), 12,6759000 gallons of which 8,175,000 gallons capacity has rail connections. There is a railroad located on each bank of the river, but there is no phys- ical connection between the railroad, and the river except as noted. The existing facilities are not considered adequate for the present commerce, but additional facilities are being provided as rapidly as economic conditions permit. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance opera- tions consisted of the removal of boulders, gravel, and sand from the channel at the various rapids where probing and sweeping indicated shoals and boulders. Total costs for the fiscal year were $166,885.16 all for mainte- nance. Expenditures were $178,108.77. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 70 per- cent complete. The 7-foot channel, 150 feet wide, has been com- pleted to the foot of Umatilla Rapids except for three shoals, one centered at mile 87.7 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 a width of 100 feet through Homly Rapids. Below Umatilla the channel in the pools between the rapids is from 100 to 1.500 feet wide with depths of 7 feet or more. Between the mouth of the Snake River and the mouth of Yakima River, the controlling depth is 6 feet with a minimum width of about 200 feet. RIVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2181 The remaining work required to complete the project consists of excavating the channel to project dimensions through shoals referred to above, widening the channel at several locations to provide safe navigation for the larger tows now navigating the river and the dredging of the Arlington and the Kennewick ap- proach channels authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945. The total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $1,642,358.36, of which $1,223,084.43, including $400,- 000 Emergency Relief funds, was for new work and $419.273.93 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $1,614,901.54, not including $25,000 expended for new work from contributed funds.

COLUMBIA RIVER, OREG. AND WASH., UMATILLA (McNARY) DAM Location.-The site of this project is on the Columbia River, 2 miles east of the confluence of the Umatilla River and about 290 miles above the mouth, and near Umatilla, Oreg. Existing project.-This project includes a dam, power plant, lock, and appurtenant facilities for purposes of navigation, and incidental irrigation. The proposed improvement, provides prin- cipally for the improvement of navigation, creating a pool extend- ing approximately 64 miles upstream to a point about 27 miles above Pasco, Wash. The dam, raising the normal water surface approximately 85 feet to elevation 340 mean sea level will be ap- proximately 7,600 feet long and will consist of an earth dam at the Oregon (south) abutment, a powerhouse, a short section of non- overflow dam, a spillway dam, a barge lock, and an earth dam at the Washington (north) abutment. Suitable fish ladders will be provided. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2183 The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1938, is $49,470,000. The existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 704, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). Terminal facilities.-On the stretch of the river to be affected by the improvement the following facilities are located: At Pasco, Wash., about 39 miles above Umatilla there is one public wharf, and a bulk grain elevator of 500,000-bushel capacity, with rail, truck, and water connections is located adjacent to the wharf. Other facilities for handling bulk grain from truck to river craft, but without rail connections, are located as follows: Two private warehouses at Port Kelly (22.6 miles above Umatilla) with capaci- ties of 40,000 and 44,000 bushels, and a 340,000-bushel elevator at Umatilla. There are privately owned storage facilities for han- dling petroleum products with capacities and locations as follows: At Pasco, Wash., about 39 miles above Umatilla, 2,700,000 gallons, with rail connections; at Attalia, 27 miles above Umatilla, 5,500,- 000 gallons; and at Umatilla, 12,675,000 gallons, of which 8,175,- 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 ex- cept as noted. The existing facilities are not considered adequate for the present commerce, but additional facilities are being pro- vided as rapidly as economic conditions permit. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Foundationinvesti- gations, preliminary studies, and designs were continued during the year. Construction of a scale model of the proposed dam was started at the Bonneville laboratory. A special report on power capacity was completed. Flowage appraisal studies were con- tinued during the year. Total costs for the fiscal year were $26,687.69. There have been no expenditures. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction work has been done on the project. The definite project report is about 62 per- cent completed. Preliminary foundation exploration work for the project report is approximately complete. Model studies of the proposed dam have been initiated. Total costs have been $26,687.69. There have been no expendi- tures.

SNAKE RIVER, OREG., WASH., AND IDAHO Location.-The Snake River, which is the largest tributary of Columbia River, rises in Yellowstone National Park, in the west- ern 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 the construction of such dams as are necessary and open channel improvement for purposes RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2185 of providing slack water navigation and irrigation between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston, Idaho. (See H. Doc. No. 704, 75th Cong., 3d sess.) The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, to include improvement work authorized under River and Harbor Acts of June 25, 1910, August 30, 1935 and March 2, 1945 is $58,625,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $10,500. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 13, 1902 Improvement of the sections from Riparia to H. Doc. No. 127, 56th Cong., 2d sess.

Mar. 2, 1945 Construction of such dams as are necessary and H. Doc. No. 701, 75th Cong., 3d sess. open channel improvement for purposes of pro- viding slack water navigation and irrigation. Local cooperation.-No conditions were imposed by law. The Washington State Legislature in 1907 provided $85,000, which was expended by the Federal Government between Riparia, Wash., and the mouth, for general open-river work in accordance with the adopted project. Terminal facilities.-The only wharf located on t_e Snake River is a privately owned 40- by 60-foot wharf located just above Lewis- ton (mile 140.5 above the mouth). Grain elevators and ware- houses with facilities for loading river vessels at river banks are located as follows: Between Riparia (mile 67), and Lewiston (mile 140), on the left bank there are several wheat warehouses formerly used for storage of wheat to be transferred to the railroad on the right bank. At Penawawa (mile 91.5) there is a public grain elevator of 105,000 bushels capacity with truck and rail connections and a private elevator of 48,000 bushels with truck and rail connections and facilities for loading bulk grain to river vessels. At Lewiston (mile 140) there is a warehouse located on the river bank but no part of the structure extends to low-water line and boats are-loaded from the beach. At mile 140.5 there is a privately owned elevator of 400,000 bushels capacity, a warehouse 60 by 150 feet, and a wharf 40 by 60 feet. These facilities have truck and rail connections. At Asotin, Wash. (6 miles above Lewiston) there are three warehouses located on the river bank. There is also a warehouse of 10,000 square feet floor space, and an elevator of 500,000 bushels capacity with facilities for loading grain at the rate of 2,000 bushels per hour. 2186 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 In the 11-mile stretch above Asotin there are two wheat ware- houses with truck connections. There is a railroad on the right bank of the river from the mouth to Lewiston, and on the left bank from 15 miles above the mouth to Riparia. These facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preparationof an interim report covering the determination of the most practicable series of dams and their locations, for full development of Snake River between the mouth and Lewiston, was partially completed during the fiscal year. Cost for the fiscal year were $4,044.45, all for new work. No expenditures were made. Condition at end of fiscal year.-It is considered that the chan- nel 5 feet deep between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston, as previously authorized, cannot be secured by open river improve- ment methods alone. A channel of less depth adequate for prevail- ing commerce has been estimated to cost $823,000. This latter channel is approximately 34 percent complete. No construction work has been done on the work authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945. The controlling depth of the existing channel is less than 1 foot between the mouth and Lewiston (140 miles above) and about 2.7 feet between Lewiston and Johnson 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. 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 per- mits the operation of boats having a draft of about 4 feet. No commercial boats are operating on Snake River below Lewiston. The river is above this 3-foot stage about 54 percent of the time. At the present time above Lewiston the channels are from 30 to 100 feet wide at low water. High-powered launches operate most of the year in this stretch as far as Johnsons Bar, about 92 miles above Lewiston. Preliminary surveys, investigations, and studies to determine the selection of dam sites to provide slack water between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston are practically complete. Preliminary appraisals of flowage rights and utility relocations are complete. Total costs from Federal funds under the existing project have been $475,035.59, of which $285,397.62 was for new work and $189,637.97 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $470,- 991.14. In addition, $85,000 was expended on new work from contributed funds.

Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range in Washing- ton, 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.) 2188 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details see page 2000 of Annual Re- port 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 deep and 50 feet wide to Castle Rock (10 miles), and thence 21/2 feet deep at low water and not less than 40 feet wide to Toledo (18 miles), to be secured by snagging, dredg- ing, and regulating works. The water level, due to tides, varies from 4 feet at the mouth to zero 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., 2 sess., from the mouth to Castle Rock, and H. Doc. No. 404, 61st Cong., 2d sess., from Castle Rock to Toledo). For the latest published map see House Document No. 1167, Sixtieth Congress, second session. Recommended modifications of project.-The Chief of Engi- neers has recommended that the project be modified by the elimi- nation 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 facili- ties are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1913. Project dimensions generally prevail from the mouth to Castle Rock, Wash., but some dredging will be required to restore project depths. The total costs and expenditures under 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.-An anticipated allotment of $5,000 will be applied to maintenance dredging between the mouth and Mile 6 by Government plant or by contract, September 1945. The additional sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance dredging between the mouth and Mile 9 and for snagging above Mile 9, by Government plant or by contract, September 1946.

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 612 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 freshets 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 mainte- nance 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. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1920. The channel is in fair condition. A survey of November 1943 showed a controlling depth of 61/2 feet in a chan- nel 75 feet wide between Brooks and Steamboat Sloughs. 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.-An anticipated allotment of $5,000 will be applied to maintenance dredging in the channel, by contract October 1945. No funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947.

GRAYS RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range in Washington, flows southwesterly about 30 miles, and empties into Grays Bay in the estuary of the Columbia River about 21 miles above the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for the removal of snags and other obstructions from the channel and overhanging trees from the banks between the mouth and the town of Grays River, 8 miles above. The tidal range at the mouth between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme range is about 13 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1907, was $2,500. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 1, 59th Cong., 2d sess.). There is no published map. Terminal facilities.-The terminals are small wharves, privately owned, and are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1909. The channel is in fair condition but shoal. The controlling depth from the mouth to 61/2 miles above is about 2 feet; above that point to the town of Grays River, 1 /2 miles further up, it practically is dry in two places at low water stage. The river is used for logs only above the town of Grays River. Total costs and expenditures have been $7,302.29, of which $2,500 was for new work and $4,802.29 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-An anticipated allotment of $2,000 will be applied to snagging between the mouth and the town of Grays River, by contract, October 1945. No funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947.

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 RIVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2191 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, be- tween 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. A survey of March 1944 showed a controlling depth of 4 feet to mile 1, thence 21/2 feet to the town of Deep River (mile 6). Total costs and expenditures have been $27,820.06, of which $15,384.40 was for new work and $12,435.66 for maintenance.

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, 2192 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Wash., a distance of about 4,000 feet, and' the reinforcement and future maintenance of the existing pile and timber breakwater at Chinook. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet and the extreme tidal range about 13 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1938, was $25,000. The latest (1938) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 50, 75th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in this docu- ment. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal is the wharf of the* Chinook Packing Co., a portion of which is used as a public land- ing. There is no present need for additional terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. pipe-line dredge Multnomah dredged the channel during September 1944, removing 237,727 cubic yards of material at a cost of $19,440.28. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $471.10. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $20,520.80. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1940. Repairs to the breakwater were completed in 1939 and the channel dredging in 1940. The channel is in good condi- tion. A survey of September 1944 shows a controlling depth of 8 feet in a channel 150 feet wide. Total costs and expenditures have been $78,020.80, of which $40,000 was for new work and $38,020.80 for maintenance.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT BAKER BAY, WASH. Location.-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 main 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, and for a west channel 8 feet deep and 200 feet wide for a distance of 2,000 feet at the southerly end, thence 150 feet wide, extending from deep water in the Columbia River to the main channel near Ilwaco, a total distance of about 3 miles. Mean lower low later 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 about 13 feet. The approved estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945 to include the west channel, is $248,600. The latest (1945) ap- proved estimate of annual maintenance for the two channels is $30,000. The main channel was authorized by the Public Works Adminis- tration, December 11, 1933, and River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 44, 73d Cong., 1st sess.), the west channel by River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 443, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published maps are in these documents. 672607--46--pt. 1, vol. 2--62 2194 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Terminal facilities.-Terminalshave been constructed at Ilwaco along Holman Waterway, 200 feet wide by 3,000 feet in length and 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 dredg- ing in the channel by the U. S. pipe-line dredge Multnomah re- moved a total of 241,376 cubic yards of material during July and August 1944 and June 1945 at a cost of $13,983.97. Dredging by the U. S. pipe-line dredge Wahkiakum removed a total of 318,145 cubic yards of material during June 1945 at a cost of $8,843.18. Hydrographic surveys were made as required. Total costs for the fiscal year were $26,060.71, all for mainte- nance. Expenditures were $22,210.27. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 34 per- cent complete. The channel extending through the easterly pas- sage at Sand Island to the Port of Ilwaco, Wash., was completed in 1934. The controlling depth is 10 feet with a width of 200 feet. The west channel, extending from deep water in the Co- lumbia River to the main channel near Ilwaco, authorized under the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, was partially completed with military funds during June 1943 and August 1944. This work consisted of dredging a channel from Ilwaco to Fort Canby, approximately 1 mile, to a depth of from 9 to 11 feet. A total of 372,007 cubic yards was removed. The remaining work required to complete the project is the completion of dredging the west channel to project dimensions. Total costs have been $183,456.36, of which $78,577.47 was for new work and $104,878.89 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $179,543.08. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, plus an anticipated allotment will be applied as follows: Accounts payable _----------------------------------------$3, 913. 28 Maintenance dredging and hydrographic surveys by Government plant and hired labor, June 1946-------------------------- 49, 121. 11 Hydrographic surveys ------------------- ------------ 2, 000. 00 Total --------------------------------------------- 55, 034. 39 The additional sum of $30,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance dredging in the channel be- tween Sand Island and Ilwaco, by Government plant and hired labor, June 1947.

FERN RIDGE RESERVOIR, WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.-On the Long Tom River, 38 miles from the mouth. The Long Tom River rises in Lane County, Oreg., on the eastern slope of the Coast Range, flows north for 50 miles, and enters the Willamette River 147 miles above its mouth. The drainage area tributary to this reservoir is 252 square miles. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for con- struction of an earth-fill dam 6,360 feet long at the crest and two auxiliary dikes 850 feet and 3,680 feet long along the northeasterly boundary of the reservoir. The main dam has a maximum height of 44 feet above the stream bed. The spillway, located near the left abutment, consists of a gravity section concrete overflow structure controlled by six automatic radial gates. Outlet works are located in the spillway structure. The project includes rec- tification of the channel of Long Tom River downstream from the dam. The reservoir, having a usable storage capacity of 95,000 acre-feet, protects the Long Tom River Valley and will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system to protect the Wil- lamette River Valley generally and to increase low water flows for navigation. The existing project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Willamette River Basin 2216 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1944, is $3,971,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.--The im- provement of 23.58 miles of the Long Tom River channel between the mouth of the river and the dam by the construction of a new canal section with a capacity of 3,000 cubic feet per second at the dam and 4,800 cubic feet per second at the mouth was continued during the fiscal year, except during the period December 1944 to May 1945 when all work was suspended because of weather conditions. The first 11 miles of the improvement was completed and the remaining 12.58 miles were 84 percent completed during the fiscal year. Maintenance.-Operation of spillway gates, maintenance of structures and ground was continued during the year by hired labor. During the irrigation season controlled discharge sufficient to satisfy downstream water rights was maintained. Evacuation of storage in excess of minimum pool was delayed until October 24, 1944, to permit completion of channel improvement work. Con- trolled discharge reached a peak slightly in excess of 2,100 cubic feet per second, but through the reservoir depletion period was sufficient to aid general navigation requirements. Minimum pool elevation was reached on November 11, 1944. There were no floods during the prestorage season, and the reservoir was maintained at or near minimum pool until the end of January 1945. Normal storage of water was initiated on Feb- ruary 1 as scheduled. Maximum reservoir inflow for the period and season occurred on March 18 and amounted to 5,400 cubic feet per second. Concurrent controlled discharge amounted to 900 cubic feet per second. A full reservoir was obtained on May 15. Full control of the reservoir and all water passing through it was maintained through the year. Total costs for the fiscal year were $995,155.93, of which $975,- 835.17 was for new work and $19,320.76 for maintenance. Ex- penditures were $1,115,114.77. t" Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the dam and appurtenant works was completed in 1942, and the dam has been in continuous operation since that time. The Long Tom River channel improvement work is approximately 90 percent complete. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of completing the channel improvement work, construction of per- manent quarters for operators, landscaping adjacent grounds, in- stallation of a domestic water supply system, and acquiring land in connection with channel improvement. Total costs have been $3,863,263.75, of which $3,797,254.42 was for new work and $66,009.33 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $3,793,729.46.

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 drain- age area tributary to this reservoir is 104 square miles. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for con- struction of an earth-fill dam 1,650 feet long at the crest, rising 95 feet above the stream bed, with a reservoir providing for stor- age of 30,000 acre-feet. The spillway, 264 feet long, is a concrete, gravity, overflow 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 exist- ing project was selected for construction under the general author- ization for the Willamette River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1944, is $2,251,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Con- struction of a shelter on the concrete section of the dam and the installation of a domestic water supply system were initiated. Maintenance.-Operationof regulating gates, maintenance of structures and grounds and the burning of debris left on the reser- voir shore were continued during the year. Controlled discharge during the low-water season was main- tained in amounts sufficient to satisfy downstream water rights. Fall depletion of storage was initiated on September 12, 1944, and was timed to give maximum benefit to navigation requirements. The maximum controlled discharge, 2,000 cubic feet per second FLOOD CONTROL--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2219 was reached on October 15 and the minimum pool elevation was obtained on November 11. The reservoir water surface was main- tained at or very near the minimum pool level during the entire flood-control period. Storage of water wvas initiated on February 1, 1945, according to schedule. Maximum reservoir inflow for the season amounted to 2,200 cubic feet per second. The corresponding discharge, 1,200 cubic feet per second was well within the downstream channel capacity. Filling of the reservoir was completed on May 4, 1945. Full con- trol of the reservoir and all water passing through it was main- tained through the year. Total costs during the fiscal year were $18,415.54, of which $1,818.37 was for new work and $16,597.17 for maintenance. Ex- penditures were $18,134.89. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the dam and appurtenant work was completed in 1942 and the dam has been in continuous operations since that time. The project as a whole has been completed except for minor items which have been de- ferred for the duration of the war. Total costs have been $2,288,936.28, of which $2,231,868.85 was for new work and $57,067.43 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $2,289,117.47.

DORENA RESERVOIR, WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.-On Row River, Oreg., 7 miles from the mouth. Row River rises in Lane County on the western slope of the Cascade Range, flows northwest for 19 miles, and enters the Coast Fork of FLOOD CONTROL--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2221 Willamette River 191/ miles above the mouth. The drainage area tributary to this reservoir is 265 square miles. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for con- struction of an earth-fill dam 4,650 feet long at the crest, rising 145 feet above the stream bed, with a reservoir providing a usable storage at normal pool level of 70,000 acre-feet. The spillway will be an uncontrolled ogee and chute around the right abutment of the main dam. The outlet works, consisting of a tunnel controlled by a cylinder gate, will discharge into the chute section of the spill- way. The reservoir, controlling practically the entire drainage area of Row River, 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, and for other purposes. The existing project was selected for construction under the gen- eral 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 1940, is $4,276,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Studies to determine better alignment for the earth dam and hydraulic model studies of a curved spillway crest were completed during the fiscal year. The project plan was revised to incorporate changes due to re- alignment of the dam axis and other changes. Total costs for the fiscal year were $73,369.09, all for new work. Expenditures were $76,012.59. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction has been done on the dam and appurtenant works, but plans and specifications for post war construction of the project are practically complete.

S. ARMY, 1945 55. MILL CREEK, WASH. Location.-Near Walla Walla, Wash., on Mill Creek, a tributary of the Walla Walla River. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for con- struction 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. Flood water is diverted for storage by means of diversion works on Mill Creek consisting of a rolled earth fill dam 1,700 feet long and 20 feet high, with a concrete spillway section and headworks at the left abut- ment, and a concrete-lined canal leading from the headworks to the storage reservoir. Stored water is subsequently released through outlet works consisting of a steel-lined concrete conduit through the base of the storage dam and a canal 5,900 feet in length from the dam to Mill Creek. The normal flow of water past the diver- sion works is apportioned, by means of two concrete division struc- tures, 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 recommen- dations of the Chief of Engineers in House Document No. 719, Seventy-sixth Congress, third session. The estimated cost, revised in 1944, is $1,654,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Routine maintenance work was continued. Studies were conducted to determine seepage losses, including a gradual filling of the reservoir. Total costs for the fiscal year were $13,020.92, of which $2,731.07 was for new work and $10,289.85 was for maintenance. Expendi- tures were $23,611.92. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the dam and certain appurtenant works was completed in 1942. An auxiliary outlet channel from the dam to Russell Creek and the construction of additional drainage facilities at the toe of the dam were com- pleted in 1944. The project as a whole is approximately 85 percent complete. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of the reconstruction of two bridges across Mill Creek in the city of Walla Walla and the sealing of the reservoir floor. The sealing of the reservoir floor may be omitted. Total costs have been $1,546,871.79, of which $1,503,284.29 was for new work and $43,587.50 for maintenance.

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 2246 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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; 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; and for 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 shore- ward end to provide a small mooring basin. The length of the section included in the project is 26 miles for the main channels, and about 2,800 feet for the Palix River-Bay Center channel. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.9 feet at Toke Point; 9.9 feet at Raymond; and 9.2 feet at Bay Center. The extreme range is 18 feet at Toke Point; 19.3 feet at Raymond; and 16 feet at Bay Center. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is 744,300, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and exclusive of $71,775 contributed by local interests. The latest (1939) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $136,000, 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' July 27, 1916 Present project dimensions of the river channels_ H_. Doc.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with, except as modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, adopting Bay Center channel, which provides that local interests furnish, free of costs to the United States, necessary easements for the channel and RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2247 spoil-disposal areas for initial work and subsequent maintenance, when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvement. Com- pliance with these requirements will be obtained prior to construction. Terminal facilities.-There are 12 wharves in Willapa River and Harbor. Eight of these are in the cities of South Bend and Ray- mond, 1 in Tokeland, and 3 in Bay Center. Seven are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels; of these, 4 are located at sawmills, 2 are used for petroleum products; and 1, which is publicly owned and operated, is open for public use as a general cargo terminal. The remaining 5 are used by small vessels in local trade; 3 of these are publicly owned and operated. These facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-There were no oper- ations except hydrographic surveys of the bar and river channels by the U. S. survey boat Mamala. The costs were $10,607.74, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $10,021.51. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1936 except for the channel from Palix River to Bay Center. The dikes constructed under previous projects are in fair condition. A survey completed May 25, 1945, showed a con- trolling depth of 26 feet over a width of 1,500 feet across the bar. The controlling depths in the inner channels when last ascer- tained were as follows: Below forks at Raymond, 19.3 feet over width of 100 feet in March 1944 and January 1945, lower 2,500 feet of North Fork, 24 feet over width of 70 feet and lower 1,200 feet of South Fork, 15 feet over width of 75 feet in January 1945. 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, 1945, have been as follows: United States funds New work Maintenance Total Regular- .... ...... $521,957. 42 $1, 151, 815. 65 $1, 673, 773. 07 Public Works ------------- - 78, 533. 00 78, 533.00 Emergency Relief .- 192,314. 06 192, 314. 06 Total, United States funds_ 714,271. 48. 1, 230, 348. 65 1,944, 620. 13 Contributed funds ............ 71,775. 00 _ 71, 775. 00 Total, all funds__ 786, 046. 48 1,230,348.65 2, 016,395. 13 The total expenditures were $1,944,634.35, of which $1,673,- 787.29 were regular funds, $78,533 Public Works funds, and $192,314.06 Emergency Relief 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 dredg- ing; for maintenance of a channel 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and 350 feet wide from deep water in Grays Harbor to the Port of Grays Harbor Commission terminal, a distance of 131/4 miles; thence 26 feet deep and 200 to 350 feet wide to the Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen, a distance of 21/4 miles; 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 feet at Point Chehalis and 9.9 feet at Aberdeen. The extreme range is 15 feet at Point Chehalis 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 and of Navy funds expended on deepening from 26 feet to 30 feet the channel from deep water in Grays Harbor to the Port of Grays Harbor Commission terminal, but inclusive of $211,500 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance dredging in the section below Aberdeen is $270,000. Local interests are to maintain the work above Aberdeen. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 2250 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Grays Harbor Commission terminal, which was deepened from 26 to 30 feet with Navy funds. 1 Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, adopting the 16-foot channel, provides that local interests con- tribute one-half the first cost, estimated at $211,500, and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War and Chief of Engineers that they will assume the entire cost of maintenance of same and provide a suitable 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 Montesano, the remaining contribu- tion 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 enlarging 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 maintenance 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 operating costs of the dredge on a basis approved by the Chief of Engineers, 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 28" wharves and piers on Grays Harbor and adjacent inland waters: 1 general cargo terminal, 9 saw-mill wharves, 1 pulp- and paper-mill wharf, 7 fish wharves, 8 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2251 miscellaneous 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Under regular ap- propriations, surveys were made by the U. S. survey boat Mamala at a cost of $13,804.71, and dredging was done in the 26-foot channel below Aberdeen, including 513,018 cubic yards removed from the Cross-Over channel and 193,735 cubic yards removed from Sand Island Shoal by the U. S. dredge Michie at a cost of $90,830.93, and 299,086 cubic yards removed from the north chan- nel by the leased dredge Robert Gray at a cost of $59,685.81, in- cluding reconstruction of power lines. The total costs from regular funds, all for maintenance, were $164,321.45. The expenditures were $143,003.50. With Navy funds, the 26-foot channel below Aberdeen was deepened to 30 feet, and widened to 350 feet in the narrow section, from the port terminal to deep water in Grays Harbor, by remov- ing 128,000 cubic yards from Sand Island Shoal and 286,926 cubic yards from the Cross-Over channel with the U. S. dredge Michie, at a cost of $51,990.33, and 447,920 cubic yards from the north channel by the leased dredge Robert Gray at a cost of $84,601.60; the work was about 90 percent completed. The total costs from Navy funds, all for new work, were $136,591.93. The expenditures were $161,908.65. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 88 percent complete. The south jetty was completed in 1902 with a groin 11,952 feet from the high-water line. A 12,656-foot section of the jetty was reconstructed to an elevation of 20 feet above mean lower low water during the period 1936-39. In June 1945, the inner 9,100 feet of the reconstructed jetty were at grade, the next 2,756 feet showed displacement of crest stones to a maximum depth of 15 feet below grade, and the outer 800 feet had been destroyed by the sea. Serious erosion of the shore line immediately north of the jetty was occurring, the Point Chehalis beach having cut back about 1,000 feet since 1936. The north jetty was com- pleted to midtide elevation in December 1913. It was later re- stored and raised to or above ordinary high water, this work being completed in January 1916. During 1941 and 1942, an 8,288-foot section was reconstructed westward from the high-water line, the inner 7,760 feet being raised to a crest elevation of +20 feet and the remainder to an elevation of +30 feet. The remainder of the north jetty has not been restored. The 412-foot section seaward of the reconstructed jetty is at the elevation of mean lower low water, and the 7,300-foot section shoreward of the reconstructed jetty has sanded in. An examination of the reconstructed jetty, made in September 1942, showed that sea action had leveled the outer 112 feet, and had breached the sand spit at the shore end, exposing old jetty rock easterly for a distance of 800 feet. The 26-foot channel previously dredged by the port of Grays Harbor below Aberdeen was deepened to 30 feet from the port 2252 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 terminal to deep water in the lower harbor in 1945. 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 300 feet (June 1945) ; deep water in lower harbor to port terminal, 30 feet over a width of 150 feet (June 1945); port terminal to Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen, 26 feet over a width of 150 feet (March 1945) ; Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen to Cosmopolis, 21 feet (August 1943); Cosmopolis to Montesano, 8.9 feet (April 1943). The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is to increase the channel depth between Cosmopolis and Monte- sano to 16 feet and complete the 30-foot channel below the port terminal. The costs of the existing project to June 30, 1945, have been as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular ...........................--------------------------------------- $2, 842, 015. 86 $11,237, 165. 84 $14, 079, 181.70 Public Works ---. - 57, 000.00 57, 000.00 Emergency Relief._- _ 409, 659. 55 409, 659. 55 Total, United States funds - - 2, 842, 015. 86 11, 703, 825. 39 14, 545, 841.25 Contributed Funds -......... .......... 35, 834. 27 47, 889. 45 83, 723. 72 Total, all funds-_ -- 2, 877, 850.13 11, 751, 714. 84 14, 629, 564. 97 The total expenditures were $14,057,804.96 from regular funds, $57,000 Public Works funds, and $409,659.55 Emergency Relief funds.

QUILLAYUTE RIVER, WASH. 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, and for maintenance dredging to afford a channel 6 feet deep and of suitable width from the ocean to within the river mouth. 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. 2254 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1942, is $80,000. The latest (1942) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $13,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July 3,1930 Jetty on easterly side of mouth, and a dike, with H. Doc. No. 125, 71st Cong., 1st sess. groins, on the westerly side, to stabilize en- trance. Mar. 2,1945 Maintenance dredging to provide a channel 6 feet H. Doe. No. 218, 78th Cong., 1st sess.1 deep and of suitable width from ocean to within river mouth. 1 Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with, including agreement to repair any breach in the sand spit north of James Island. Terminal facilities.-There are three terminals at La Push; of these, two privately owned are open to public use to accommodate small commercial fishing vessels, and one owned by the United States is used as a Coast Guard station. These facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Surveys to deter- mine the condition of the jetty, dike, and channel were made in August 1944 at a cost of $1,083.77. The expenditures were $1,308.23. During the period October-December 1944, 2,625 cubic yards of material were dredged from the river mouth for the United States Navy. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was sub- stantially completed in 1931, omitting the groins, which do not appear necessary or desirable. Some deterioration has occurred in the jetty. The dike has been breached by the river and sea. An examination in August 1944 showed the controlling depth of the entrance channel to be 3.3 feet over a width of 50 feet. Dredging done for the United States Navy increased this depth to 5 feet, but storm deposits shoaled the channel to a depth of 2 feet in Novem- ber 1944, and the dredging was discontinued. The total costs from regular funds to June 30, 1945, have been $68,000 for new work and $71,876.45 for maintenance, a total of $139,876.45. The expenditures have been $139,876.45. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, together with an anticipated allotment will be applied to restora- tion of the dike and jetty at mouth of river, by Government plant and hired labor during August 1945 and June 1946. The additional sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947, for maintenance repair of dike and jetty 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 approximately 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 8.2 feet. The extreme range is 15.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work revised in 1941, is $2,100,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual mainte- nance 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.-Fully complied with. 2256 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Terminal facilities.-Thereare six wharves at Neah Bay, includ- ing three owned by the United States which are used by the Coast Guard, and three privately owned wharves, two of which are open to general public use to accommodate small commercial fishing vessels and one is not in use. These facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-There were no opera- tions other than inspections and office work in connection with the completion of the project. The costs were $20.33, all for new work. The expenditures were $130.41. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The breakwater was completed in February 1944. An inspection made in May 1945 showed some armor stone dislodged from the crest by wave action. The costs and expenditures to June 30, 1945, have been $1,934,482.70, all for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, $7,017.30, will be applied to restoration of the breakwater by con- tract during August 1945.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2257 5. PORT ANGELES HARBOR, WASH. Location.-This harbor is located on the southerly shore of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, about 60 nautical miles eastward of Cape Flattery and 64 miles northwesterly of Seattle, Wash. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6303 and 6382.) Existing project.-This provides for deepening to 30 feet at mean lower low water of the easterly 150 feet, more or less, of the shoal between deep water in Port Angeles Harbor and the pierhead line in the vicinity of the plant of Rayonier, Inc. The diurnal tidal range is 7.2 feet,. and the extreme range is about 14 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, made in 1941, is $10,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc: No. 331, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Terminal facilities.-There are 11 piers and wharves in Port Angeles Harbor. Two serve general cargo terminals and are open for public use. One of these, which is publicly owned and operated, is suitable for use by oceangoing vessels. The other, privately owned and operated, is used by vessels in the Puget Sound-British Columbia trade. The remaining 9 are used for various industrial purposes and, of these, 4 are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under this project. Proposedoperations.-Nofunds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal years 1946 and 1947.

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 August 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. 672607--46--pt. 1, vol. 2-66 2258 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The expendi- tures were $51,834.38. 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, 1945, have been $43,336.92 for new work and $1,055,203 for maintenance, a total of $1,098,539.92. The total expenditures have been $1,097,730.03. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, together with an anticipated allotment will be applied to mainte- nance by operation of the U. S. snag boat W. T. Preston in snag- ging, dredging, and removing miscellaneous obstructions, a total of about 12 months in Skagit, Snohomish, and Stillaguamish Rivers and other tributaries as necessary to meet the current needs of navigation. The additional sum of $60,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 in operation of the snag boat for main- tenance snagging, dredging, and removing miscellaneous obstruc- tions, a total of about 12 months in Skagit, Snohomish, and Stilla- guamish Rivers and such other tributaries as necessary to keep the channels open for navigation.

REMOVING ACCUMULATED SNAGS AND DEBRIS UNDER AUTHORITY OF SECTION 3 OF RIVER AND HARBOR ACT APPROVED MARCH 2, 1945 (WHIDBEY ISLAND, WASH.) Section 3 of the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, authorized the allotment of not to exceed $300,000 from any appro- priations for any one fiscal year for improvement of rivers and harbors, for removing accumulated snags and other debris, and for protecting, clearing, and straightening channels in navigable harbors and navigable streams and tributaries thereof, when in the opinion of the Chief of Engineers such work is advisable in the interest of navigation or flood control. An allotment of $12,000 was made in June 1945, for the removal of drift and floating debris from the seaplane landing area and adjacent beaches of the Naval Air Station on Crescent Harbor, Whidbey Island, Wash. 2260 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Approximately 1,400 cords of drift material were piled and burned, by hired labor, clearing 1,600 linear feet of beach, during June 1945. Patrolling of the seaplane area was not commenced during the fiscal year. The costs have been $701.60, all for main- tenance, and the expenditures have been $600. The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, $11,400, together with $30,000 allotted during July 1945 will be applied to maintenance, removing and disposing of drift and floating debris, by Govern- ment plant and hired labor throughout the fiscal year 1946.

PORT GAMBLE HARBOR, WASH. Location.-Port Gamble Harbor is on the east side of Hood Canal 20 miles northwest of Seattle. (See U. S. Coast and Geo- detic Survey Chart No. 6450.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 30 feet deep at mean lower low water, 200 feet wide and about 3,000 feet long, at the entrance to the bay. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 10.3 feet. The extreme range is about 18.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $44,250, including $25,500 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $250. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2261 Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 2, 1919 Channel 28 feet deep, 150 feet wide, and 2,500 feet H. Doc. No. 851, 65th Cong., 2d sess. long. Aug. 30,1935 Enlargement of the channel to present project H. Doc. No. 152, 72d Cong., 1st sess.' dimensions. 1Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with, except as modified by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, adopting the 30-foot channel, which provides that local interests shall contribute two- thirds of the cost, but not to exceed $13,500. This condition has not been met, and local interests reported under date of April 28, 1937, that, due to heavy losses suffered by the lumber industry, they were unable to bear such a large percentage of the cost at that time. Terminal facilities.-There are two privately owned and oper- ated wharves in Port Gamble Harbor; one located at a sawmill is suitable for use by oceangoing vessels, the other is used by light- draft vessels for handling petroleum products. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-A hydrographic sur- vey to determine extent of shoaling in Port Gamble Harbor chan- nel was made in August 1944. The costs and expenditures were $442.24, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 62 per- cent complete. The original project for a 28-foot channel was completed in 1920. Survey made in August 1944 showed a depth of 28 feet over a width of 110 feet. The costs have been $11,911.08 from Federal funds and $21,260.09 from contributed funds for new work, and $1,031.16 for maintenance, a total of $12,942.24 from Federal funds and $21,260.09 from contributed funds. The total expenditures have been $34,202.33. Proposed operations.-No operations are proposed during the fiscal years 1946 and 1947, as it is not likely that the terms of local cooperation will be complied with during that time, and no serious shoaling is anticipated.

These facilities are considered adequate for exist- ing commerce. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2265 Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Project depths were partially restored in city waterway by removal, under contract, of 21,295 cubic yards of material from two shoals, one immediately above the South Eleventh Street Bridge, the other at the head of the waterway, April and June, 1945, at a cost of $11,084.40. Con- dition surveys of the project channels and training wall were com- pleted at a cost of $3,482.84. The total costs were $14,567.24, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $8,264.08. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 74 per- cent complete. The city waterway was completed in 1905. The costs have been $150,018.58 for new work and $138,424.47 for maintenance, a total of $288,443.05, not including $5,000 expended for maintenance from contributed funds. The depths available, except along the sides of the waterway, as determined in February 1944 and June 1945 were as follows: 27.5 feet from Commence- ment Bay to South Eleventh Street, 21.1 feet from South Eleventh Street to South Fourteenth Street, and 16.1 feet from South Four- teenth Street to the head of the waterway. The Hylebos waterway was completed in 1939. The costs have been $212,501.60 for new work and $10,521.10 for maintenance, a total of $223,022.70. A survey in January 1944 showed depths as follows: 29.1 feet over a width of 200 feet from deep water in Commencement Bay to East Eleventh Street, 27.9 feet over a midchannel width of 150 feet from East Eleventh Street to bend below Lincoln Avenue, and 25.8 feet by 150 feet above Lincoln Avenue, with a least depth in the turning basin, except near the edges, of 28.4 feet. The two training walls at the mouth of Puyallup River were completed in 1934 at a cost of $51,609.12, all for new work, and maintenance costs, all for surveys, have been $661.08, a total of $52,270.20. On April 4, 1943, a slide destroyed the east training wall. The depth at the end of it is now 115 feet. The west wall is still in good condition. No work except surveys at a cost of $931.37, all for maintenance, has been done by the Government on Wapato waterway. The latest survey, made in December 1944, showed a controlling depth of 30 feet over a width of about 500 feet in the lower 1,600 feet of the waterway, thence a channel 80 feet wide with a minimum depth of 14.5 feet extended southerly along the westerly margin of the waterway for about 1,800 feet; and a channel 200 feet wide with a minimum depth of 20.7 feet extending southerly along the easterly.margin of the waterway. The remaining area of the waterway has not been improved, and depths therein vary from 20 feet below mean lower low water to about 8 feet above that datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is to dredge all of Wapato waterway to a depth of 30 feet. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1945, have been $414,129.30 for new work, including $51,609.12 Public Works funds, and $161,622.42 for maintenance, a total of $575,751.72, not including $5,000 contributed funds for maintenance. The expenditures have been $569,448.56. 2266 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, $10,134.09, together with accounts receivable, $284.66, and $30,000 to be allotted after December 31, 1945, a total of $40,418.75, will be applied to accounts payable June 30, 1945, $6,587.82, and to maintenance dredging by contract, in Hylebos waterway during February and March 1946, $33,830.93. The sum of $175,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947, of which $160,000 will be applied to deepening Wapato waterway to 30 feet, and $15,000 for maintenance dredging in city waterway by contract during April 1947.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2267 11. 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 mainte- nance 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 Railroad 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, including $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.

S. ARMY, 1945 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. Terminalfacilities.-There are 100 wharves and piers on Seattle Harbor, exclusive of those given in the report for Lake Washing- ton Ship Canal. Fifty-five are located on Elliott Bay, 19 on east waterway, 15 on west waterway, 8 on Duwamish waterway, and 3 on Puget Sound near the northern limits of the port. Of these, 24 general cargo terminals and 1 grain terminal are open for public use, subject to war restrictions; 8 on the former and the latter are publicly owned. The remaining 75 serve various indus- trial 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A total of 304,014 cubic yards of material was dredged from two shoals in Duwamish waterway above Fourteenth Avenue South, under contract, during February, March, and April 1945. The costs were $83,538.79, all for maintenance; the expenditures were $82,369.14. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted 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 November 1943; east waterway, 34 feet except along the edges and over two shoals near the center line of the channel opposite the Lander Street terminal and opposite Isaacson Iron Works, over which the least depths were 32.7 feet and 31.4 feet, respectively, and except in the southerly 1,500 feet of the waterway, in November 1943. The controlling dimensions in Duwamish waterway were as follows: 28.4 feet by 170 feet from the head of west waterway to First Avenue South in April, May, and October 1943; 19 feet by 100 feet from First Avenue South to Eighth Avenue South; 13.1 feet by 150 feet from Eighth Avenue South to Fourteenth Avenue South in April and May 1943; and 15 feet by 100 feet from Fourteenth Avenue South to the head of the waterway in June 1945. 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, 1945, have been $170,- 334.74 for new work and $397,646.17 for maintenance, a total of $567,980.91, and the expenditures $568,043.11. In addition, $69,332.64 has been expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, $6,480.72, together with accounts receivable amounting to $70.56 and $25,000 to be allotted after December 31, 1945, a total of $31,551.28, will be applied to accounts payable in the amount of $8.36 and to maintenance dredging in east waterway by contract during April and May 1946, $31,542.92. The sum of $48,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance dredging in Duwamish waterway by contract during January and February 1947.

Terminal facilities.-There are 69 wharves, piers, and landings on Lake Washington Ship Canal and adjacent inland waters. (Shilshole Bay, Salmon Bay, Lake Union, Portage Bay, and Lake Washington.) 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 pub- licly owned. Other publicly owned wharves are 2 used by the harbor patrol, 1 used by the United States Coast Guard, 1 used by the United States Engineer Department, and 1 by the Bureau of Fisheries. Of the remaining 24 are used for mooring, repairing, and outfitting vessels, 8 serve for handling petroleum products, 16 for various industrial purposes, and 2 are not in use. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The locks were operated throughout the year and ordinary repairs were made thereto and to the appurtenant structures as required, all work being done by hired labor. Improvement and reconstruction com- pleted by hired labor included renewing lower sill in large lock, in- stalling new small lock pump, reconditioning two large lock valves, surfacing new open storage area, renewing spillway gate arms and braces, and renewing main power ducts; work was 90 percent completed on procurement of replacement parts for gates and valves, 85 percent completed on overhaul of lower guard gates, large lock, and 73 percent completed on extending water mains to large lock, the remainder of work being contracted. Contract operations included reconstruction of guide piers (69 percent com- pleted), and completing extension of water mains (.90 percent completed). The costs were $308,793.49, all for operations and care. The expenditures were $267,551.19. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1934. The water between the locks and Lake Washing- ton is nontidal and is maintained between elevations 20 feet and 22 feet above mean lower low water in Puget Sound. The controlling 2272 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 depths when last ascertained (July 1944 to January 1945) were as follows: From Puget Sound to the locks, 27.5 feet; the locks to Lake Union, 28.3 feet; Lake Union to Lake Washington, 27.9 feet. Many locks and canal appurtenances, some in service for almost 30 years, showed need for improvement and reconstruction. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1945, have been $3,539,294.87 for new work, including $192,516.44 Public Works funds, and $1,528,514.53 for maintenance, including $1,420,135.15 for operation and care, a total of $5,067,809.40. The expenditures have been $5,030,331.60. In addition, the sum of $1,631,195.33 was expended between 1916 and 1936 on the operating and care of the works of improve- ment, under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropria- tion 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 construction of concrete revet- ment at the portage. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, $306,992.65, together with accounts receivable amounting to $1,271.16, and an anticipated allotment, will be applied to operation and maintenance as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1945 $38, 748. 96 Operation of locks and dams, 9 months, July 1, 1945, to Mar. 31, 1946 ___ _ _ _ 90, 000. 00 Ordinary repairs, including unwatering of large lock and repair of gates and valves _--_____-__ ____________- 68, 500. 00 Improvement and reconstruction, including completing locks guide piers and water mains, reconstructing north Fremont guide piers, unwatering small lock for general repair and replacing quoin and reaction castings, replacing water seals and painting spillway gates, painting small lock lower guard gates, providing foundations for Portage cut revetments, and reconstructing lock wall pavement- 196, 000. 00 Channel work __ 8, 000. 00 Emergencies - - . 1, 014. 85 Total -------------------------------------------- 402, 263. 81 The additional sum of $310,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for operation and maintenance, as follows: Operation of locks and dams ------------------------------- $120, 000 Ordinary repairs 70, 000 Improvement and reconstruction, including constructing boat house, revetting slide areas on canal banks, repairing in- teriors of lock gates, rebuilding spillway gate hoist, replacing pumping plant piping, constructing storm sewers, and repair- ing and replacing electrical equipment ---------------------- 85, 000 Channel work, including maintenance dredging --------------- 34, 000 Emergencies ------------- -------------------------------- 1, 000 Total - 310, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945 ___________---$4, 024, 297. 32 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 _____________________ 3, 159, 709. 86 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 ______ 7, 184, 007. 18 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1945 _____ - $1, 271. 16 Gross total costs to June 30, 1945----------------- 7, 185, 278. 34 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1945 --------------------- 38, 748. 96 Net total expenditures _____________________________ 7, 146, 529. 38 Unexpended balance June 30, 1945 ------------------- 306, 992. 65 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945 --------- 7, 453, 522. 03 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work . - $308, 793.49 Cost of maintenance . $308, __ $106, 271. 51 $142, 125. 61 $213,638. 97 $161, 337. 06 793. 49 Total expended _ 101, 516. 64 145, 320. 06 213, 839. 67 166, 065. 14 267, 551. 19 ------------ A llotted _ _---------- 110, 000. 00 223, 100. 00 146, 500. 00 43, 750.00 572,300.00 I I I I I Balance unexpended July 1, 1944------------- $2, 243. 84 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act approved Apr. 28, 1942 $386, 800. 00 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act approved June 26, 1944 107, 500. 00 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Appropriation Act approved Mar. 31, 1945 78, 000. 00 572, 300. 00 Amount to be accounted for 574, 543. 84 Gross amount expended _______--------------- $272, 931.04 Less: Reimbursements collected ---- $4, 701.85 Receipts from sales ____________ 678. 00 5, 379.85 267, 551. 19 Balance unexpended June 30, 1945_ 306, 992. 65 Outstanding liabilities June 30, 1945___________ $ 56, 648. 70 Amount covered by uncompleted contracts 40, 335. 99 96. 984. 69 Balance available June 30, 1945 ___________---------- 210, 007. 96 Accounts receivable June 30, 1945 ________________________ 1, 271. 16 Unobligated balance available June 30, 1945 _________ 211, 279. 12 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1947 for maintenance '__-_____ ___ 310, 000. 00 1 Exclusive of available funds. 13.

The length of channel improvement under this project is 2.5 miles. The extreme tidal range is about 19 feet. The range be- tween 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. No. 1108, 60th Cong., 2d sess. the bar at the outlet of Old River Channel. July 3, 1930 Raising 6,000 feet of the training dike, extending H. Doc.

No. 546, 75th Cong., 3d sess. provided for the settling basin. (Contains leatest published map.) Terminal facilities.-There are 26 wharves and piers on Everett Harbor and Snohomish River: 13 are located on Port Gardner Bay, 7 on the channel to the gap, and 6 on Snohomish River. Eight wharves are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels ;all of these are located on Port Gardner Bay and east waterway channel, 1 of which serves a privately owned and operated general cargo terminal that is open for public use. The remaining wharves are used by barges and light-draft vessels and serve various industrial purposes. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The settling basin and channel between the basin and the lower harbor were re- dredged under contract, April 10 to June 7, 1945, 251,587 cubic yards being removed from the basin and 41,460 cubic yards from the channel. The costs were $53,506.27, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $54,244.97. Condition at end 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 were raised to elevation of 14 feet above mean. lower low water in 1931. The dikes are in good condition. The channel between the river R IVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2275 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. Controlling depths when last ascertained were 9.5 feet in the channel from the lower harbor to the settling basin (1945) ; 12 feet over a width of 680 feet in the settling basin (1945) ; +0.1 foot in the channel from the settling basin to the gap in.the dike (1943) ; and in the east waterway, 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 26.8 feet (1941 and 1944). The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1945, have been $325,968.16 for new work and $159,017.23 for maintenance, a total of $484,985.39. The expenditures have been $485,724.09. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, $7,755.03, together with accounts receivable amounting to $1,069.69, a total of $8,824.72, .will be applied to accounts payable, $330.99, and to condition surveys during March 1946, $8,493.73. The additional sum of $30,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance dredging in the settling basin by contract during April 1947.

STILLAGUAMISH RIVER, WASH. Location.-Stillaguamish River is formed by the junction of its north and south forks, which rise on the westerly slopes of the Cascade Mountains. From its head, the river flows 22 miles in a westerly direction and near its mouth, divides and enters Port Susan through Hat Slough and South Pass, and Skagit Bay through West Pass. Both Port Susan and Skagit Bay are arms of Puget Sound, approximately 42 miles north of Seattle, Wash. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6450.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 75 feet wide with the bottom at the elevation of mean lower low water, from Stan- wood through South Pass to Port Susan, a distance of approxi- mately 21/2 miles. The diurnal tidal range in Port Susan is 11.2 feet and the extreme range is about 19 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1941, is $35,000 and $10,000 annually for maintenance. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 286, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Terminal facilities.-There are two wharves at Stanwood, Wash., which are suitable for use by vessels of light draft. Before the suspension of navigation, one of these, privately owned and operated, was open for public use as a general cargo terminal. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under this project. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no opera- tions areproposed during the fiscal years 1946 and 1947.

SWINOMISH SLOUGH, WASH. Location.-This is an inland passage, 11 miles long, between Saratoga 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 deep at mean lower low water from deep water in RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2277 Saratoga Passage to deep water in Padilla Bay, a distance of 11 miles, by dredging and dike construction where necessary. The extreme tidal range is about 19 feet at the south end of the slough and about 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, 1892 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.-Under the provisions of the River and Har- bor 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 mate- rial during initial 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-There were no opera- tions except condition surveys. The costs and expenditures were $4,909.18, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. The dikes are in good condition with the exception of the dike between Goat Island and McGlinn Island, which shows an average subsidence of about 3.5 feet over its entire length. In 1944 the controlling depth within the dredged channel was 1.9 feet, but a least depth of 6.1 feet was available by utilizing a natu- ral channel just outside of the controlling shoal. The costs and expenditures to June 30, 1945, have been $409,029.51 for new work and $332,867.65 for maintenance, a total of $741,897.16.

STIKINE RIVER, ALASKA Location.-Stikine River rises in northwestern Canada and flows in a southwesterly direction through Canada for about 200 miles, then approximately 30 miles westerly across the Panhandle of Alaska to Sumner Strait. The mouth of the river is on the coast of the mainland approximately 3 miles north of Wrangell. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8002.) Existing project.-This provides for snagging of the Stikine River from its mouth to the Canadian border, a distance of approx- imately 30 miles. There are no data available concerning the stages of high and low water in the river. At the mouth, the tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 13.9 feet, and the maximum range is about 24.8 feet. The latest (1939) approved estimate for annual cost of main- tenance is $900. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 210, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation.-None required. 2288 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Terminal facilities.-There are no terminal facilities along the Alaskan portion of the river. Vessels operating on the Stikine River are dependent on the terminal facilities at Wrangell Harbor. These consist of five wharves and four floats. Two privately owned wharves serving general cargo and passenger terminals, one of which includes a cold storage facility, are open for public use. The remaining wharves serve various industrial purposes. Two of the four floats are publicly owned and are open for public use for mooring and servicing small craft, and two privately owned floats serve oil-handling facilities. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Snags were removed from the navigable channel of the Stikine River between its mouth and the International Boundary during the period September 6-11, 1944, by contract. The costs were $583.21, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $78.69. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The removal of dangerous snags has resulted in reduced hazards to navigation. The costs have been $4,757.10, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $4,252.58. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, $1,897.42, together with an anticipated allotment, will be applied to maintenance, removing snags between the mouth of the river and the Canadian border, by contract, during the summer of 1945 and the spring of 1946.

(See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8202 and 8303.) Existing project. This provides for a rock, brush, and earth training dike 6,700 feet long on the left bank of Skagway River, and a rubble-mound breakwater 1,800 feet long across the tide flats in prolongation of the training dike; for dredging at the face of the wharf to a depth of 30 feet at mean lower low water for the southerly 700 feet, and to a depth of 20 feet for the next 100 feet, and for dredging a basin for small boats to a depth of 8 feet over an area of 1 acre near the north end of the wharf. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 16.6 feet. The extreme range is about 28.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $78,200. The latest approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, dredging only, made in 1942, is $700. The existing project was authorized by the following River and Harbor Acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 20,1938 Training dike and breakwater___ H. Doc. No. 547, 75th Cong., 3d sess. Mar. 2,1945 Dredging at wharf, and small-boat basin ........ Report of Chief of Engineers dated Apr. 11, 1942.1 'Contains latest map (not published). Local cooperation.-The act of June 20, 1938, requires local in- terests to furnish, free of cost to the United States, necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way, including quarry rights, hold and save the United States free from any damages attributable to the improvement, and agree to maintain the structures after com- pletion. The foregoing terms have been complied with, except that no maintenance has been performed by local interests, although the dike and breakwater have been severely damaged by floods. The act of March 2, 1945, requires local interests to give assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will hold and save the United States free from claims for damages due to con- struction and maintenance of the work, construct and agree to maintain a breakwater 200 feet long for protection of the basin RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2295 before any dredging is done; and agree to provide and maintain all necessary mooring floats within the basin. Compliance with the foregoing provisions will be obtained prior to construction. Terminal facilities.-There is one privately owned wharf open for public use as a passenger and general cargo terminal. Also in the harbor are two barge terminals owned by the United States Government and used in connection with military operations. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No work was done with regular funds, and there were no costs or expenditures. The training dike was repaired with emergency flood-control funds during the period March-May 1945. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 80 per- cent complete. The training dike and breakwater were completed in 1940. Severe floods occurring in October 1943 and October 1944 destroyed 360 linear feet of the breakwater and damaged or destroyed 4,200 linear feet of the dike. Repairs to the dike with emergency flood-control funds were completed in May 1945. The breakwater has not been restored. No work has been done on the dredging at the wharf and in the small-boat basin, authorized by the act of March 2, 1945. The costs and expenditures of the existing project under regular appropriations have been $62,172.99, all for new work. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no opera- tions are proposed during the fiscal years 1946 and 1947.

ELFIN COVE, ALASKA Location.-Elfin Cove is a small inlet about 1,200 yards long and 200 yards wide in the northwest coast line of Chichagof Island in southeastern Alaska, 100 miles west of Juneau. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8304 and 8002.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 10 feet deep and 60 feet wide through the outer entrance, and a channel 8 feet deep and 40 feet wide through the inner entrance, both depths being referred to the plane of mean lower low water. The diurnal range of tide is 11 feet, and the extreme range is about 19 feet. 2296 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1940, is $38,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 579, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). This document contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.-The basins have an adequate number of floats, mooring buoys, and gridirons for the fleet of fishing boats operating out of Elfin Cove. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under this project. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no opera- tions are proposed during the fiscal years 1946 and 1947.

SELDOVIA HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-This harbor is located in Seldovia Bay, an arm of Cook Inlet indenting the southwestern coast line of Kenai Penin- sula, Alaska, 146 miles by water route west of Seward. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8589.) Existing project.-This provides for removal of obstructions in the entrance channel near Watch Point to a depth of 24 feet at mean lower low water. The diurnal tidal range is 17.8 feet and the extreme range is 27 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, made in 1940, is $50,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 702, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to provide a suitable public wharf with a least depth alongside of 24 feet at mean lower low water. Compliance with this requirement will be obtained prior to construction. Terminal facilities.-One privately owned and operated wharf with a least depth of 16 feet alongside, which serves a general cargo terminal, is open for public use. Several other small wharves along the waterfront are used by vessels of light draft at the higher stages of the tide. These facilities are inadequate for vessels of the type to be benefited by the project. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under his project. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no opera- tions are proposed during the fiscal years 1946 and 1947.

NOME HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-Nome Harbor is in the portion of Norton Sound in front of the city of Nome, Alaska, at the mouth of Snake River. It is a shallow, open roadstead about 115 miles north of the Apoon mouth of the Yukon River and 125 miles northwest of St. Michael Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 9380.) Existing project.-This provides for two parallel timber and concrete jetties, the easterly, 951 feet long, and the westerly, not exceeding 676 feet long, at the mouth of Snake River; and a chan- nel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water from Norton Sound, through Snake River, to the mouth of Bourbon and Dry Creeks, in the city of Nome, ending in a basin of similar depth 250 feet wide and 600 feet long; and revetting the banks of the river. The length of the section included in the project is 1,900 feet. The extreme tidal range is 2.8 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 1.6 feet. The water levels are influenced more by wind than tide, an offshore wind sometimes causing a level of from 2 to 3 feet below mean lower low water for days at a time and a level of 14 feet above mean lower low water having been noted as a result of storms. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $542,450. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $45,000 (including $2,500 to be contributed by the city of Nome and $20,000 for annual maintenance of the authorized extension of jetties). The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 Aug. 8, 1917 For 2 jetties, the easterly 335 feet and the westerly H. Doc. No. 1932, 64th Cong., 2d sess. 460 feet long; revetment, channel, and basin 200 feet wide and 250 feet lbug. Aug. 30, 1935 Extension of the jetties and basin________________ H. Doc. No. 401, 71st Cong., 2d sess., and Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 38, 73d Cong., 2d sess. 1 Contain latest published maps. Local cooperation.-In accordance with the provisions of the River and Harbor Act of August 17, 1917, the city of Nome fur- nished evidence, accepted by the Secretary of War on December 22, 1917, that it would contribute $2,500 annually toward the main- tenance of the improvement and furnish all lands or easements necessary to the proper execution of the work. These conditions have been met annually as required. 2298 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Terminal facilities.-Cargoes and passengers from ocean ves- sels are lightered to and from shore a distance of about 2 miles. There is one privately owned wharf outside the improvement area, which is used to receive petroleum products. Traffic using the dredged channel is handled over the revetment, where transfer facilities that are open to public use have been in- stalled by a lighterage company. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. A total of 22,750 cubic yards of material was dredged from within the project limits, by Government plant and hired labor, July to October 1944 and June 1945. The costs were $25,456.13 from Federal funds and $2,500 from contributed funds, a total of $27,956.13, all for main- tenance. The expenditures were $31,374.29 from Federal funds and $2,500 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was 50 percent completed. Construction of the original 335- and 460-foot jetties and the revetments was commenced in 1919 and completed in 1923. Reconstruction of the jetties with concrete to modified lengths of 240 feet and 400 feet was completed in 1940. Dredging of the channel and the original 200- by 250-foot basin was commenced in 1919 and completed in 1922. Project depths are generally maintained throughout the area, although rapid shoaling at the entrance often occurs during southerly storms, reducing the depths from 8 to 5, or even to 3 feet. In June 1945, a depth of 8 feet at mean lower low water was available over the bar and in the entrance channel, and 7 feet in the main channel and improved part of the turning basin. Timber revetments show progressive deterioration and rough spots are in evidence on the south jetty. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to extend the jetties to their authorized lengths, and to dredge the 400-foot extension of the basin. The costs from Federal funds to June 30, 1945, have been $272,- 950.13 for new work and $665,371.29 for maintenance, a total of $938,321.42, and the expenditures have been $942,056.75. In ad- dition, $57,500 has been expended from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The Federal funds unexpended June 30, 1945, $33,090.02, together with an anticipated allotment and ac- counts receivable, $980.74, will be applied to maintenance, by hired labor and Government plant, as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1945--------------------------------$68. 61 2-shift operation of clamshell dredge Arctic, July to October 1945, and June 1946---------------------------------- 42, 500. 00 Repairs to revetment, August and September 1945--------------2, 002. 15 Total ----------------------------- ------- 44, 570. 76 The additional sum of $64,500 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance by Government plant and hired labor, July to October 1946, and June 1947, as follows: RIVERS AND tHARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2299 2-shift operation of clamshell dredge Arctic, July to October 1946 and June 1947 ------------------------------------------ $40, 000 Reconstruction of 200 linear feet of north revetment, July to Sep- tember 1946 000 2--------------------------- Patch rough spots in east jetty, September 1946------------------ 4, 500 Total ----------------------------------------------- 64, 500 Cost and financial summary UNITED STATES FUNDS Cost of new work to June 30, 1945------------------------ $272, 950. 13 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 --------------------- 665, 371. 29 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945----------938, 321. 42 Undistributed costs June 30, 1945_---------------------- 2, 823.20 Net total cost to June 30, 1945-----------------------941, 144. 62 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1945------------------------ 980. 74 Gross total costs to June 30, 1945--------------------942, 125. 36 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1945_------------------ 68. 61 Net total expenditures ----------------------------- 942, 056. 75 Unexpended balance June 30, 1945_---------------------- 33, 090. 02 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945------------975, 146. 77 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work Cost of maintenance $18,430. 53 $16, 892. 02 $19, 302. 60 $35, 654. 23 $25, 456. 13 Total expended -- 26, 487. 76 16, 241. 24 17, 861. 10 31, 547. 05 31, 374. 29 Allotted ----------------- 19, 100. 00 22, 500. 00 18, 000.00 --- 57, 500. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1944___________---------------- $6, 964.31 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Ap- propriation Act approved June 26, 1944 ---- $42, 000. 00 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Ap- propriation Act approved Mar. 31, 1945----------15, 500. 00 57, 500. 00 Amount to be accounted for_-------------------------- 64, 464. 31 Gross amount expended----------------------- $34, 726.45 Less reimbursements collected-------------------- 3, 352.16 31, 374. 29 Balance unexpended June 30, 1945-------------------- 33, 090. 02 Outstanding liabilities June 30, 1945------------------------ 4, 104. 19 Balance available June 30, 1945----------------------- 28, 985.83 Accounts receivable June 30, 1945---------------------------- 980. 74 Unobligated balance available June 30, 1945 ----------- 29, 966. 57 Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for completion of existing project '------------------------ ------ 269, 500. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1947 for maintenance '- -64, 500. 00 1 Exclusive of available funds. 2300 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

FLOOD CONTROL--SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2307 39. 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. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a rock-fill dam, 700 feet long at crest elevation and rising 425 feet above bedrock. The reservoir to be created will store approximately 106,000 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 un- controlled discharge through a spillway having a maximum capac- ity 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 industrial 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. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work included the removal of standing trees and drift material below elevation 1,150 from 94 acres of land one-half mile upstream from the dam, by contract, at a cost of $30,634.95, installing a compound mano- meter in the 23-foot tunnel access tunnel for recording the reser- voir pool elevation, rebuilding the access trail to and clearing the domestic water supply reservoir, starting installation of staff gages adjacent to the intake structures, and general clean-up and removal of construction buildings, all by hired labor at a cost of $13,543.63. Office costs incidental to future construction of regu- lating works by contract totaled $2,575.82. The cost of maintenance was $63,384.13, all by hired labor, in- cluding operation, ordinary maintenance and repairs, improve- ment and reconstruction, fish haul, removal of drift by cableway, installation of drift booms, and maintenance and operation of gages (including snow surveys). The total costs were $110,138.53. The expenditures were $113,559.91. Control of flood flows is limited to that resulting from unregu- lated flow past the constriction plug in the 23-foot tunnel, and from manipulation of the radial gate in the 9-foot tunnel, at reser- voir levels below 970. By closing the radial gate in the 9-foot tunnel and raising the pool to elevation 970, which is the elevation of the 23-foot tunnel intake, 1,500 acre-feet of water can be stored. There were no damaging floods in White River during the fiscal year. However, on January 7, 1945, a river flow of 8,000 second-feet was reduced to 7,760 second-feet by storing 2,913 acre-feet of water, and on February 8, 1945, a river flow of 8,100 second-feet was reduced to 7,580 second-feet by storing 2,435 acre-feet of water. Water was stored in the reservoir during the following periods: July 1 to August 2, 1944--1,500 acre-feet; 2308 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 November 22, 1944, to February 28, 1945-average storage 2,300 acre-feet. Maximum storages for this period were 2,913 acre- feet on January 7, 1945; 2,435 acre-feet on February 11, 1945; 1,500 acre-feet April 25 to 28, 1945, and 1,700 acre-feet May 14 to 31, 1945. During the fiscal year, 5,117 migratory salmon were hauled around the dam in tank trucks. The removal of drift material was a major operating problem. Approximately three-quarter acre of drift material 2 feet deep has been removed from the river. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is prac- tically complete. The dam embankment, concrete-lined spillway (315 feet wide at crest, 1,100 feet long), and the 9-foot tunnel. (1,801 feet long) have 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. 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, reconstruction of radial gate, installation of fish hoist, installation of fishway water-supply line, additional clearing of drift material in'reservoir above dam, and installation of staff gages. The completion of the project has been deferred on account of the shortage of facilities with which to manufacture the control works. The costs to June 30, 1945, have been $11,220,491.80 from regu- lar funds and $26,000 from Emergency Relief funds, a total of $11,246,491.80, for new work, and $177,687.55 for maintenance, a combined total of $11,424,179.35. The expenditures have been $11,401,300.92 from regular funds and $26,000 from Emergency Relief funds, a total of $11,427,300.92. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, $187,939.65, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1945_________,_ __________ $5, 498. 56 New work, by contract: Completion of the fabrica- tion of the penstock sections, as men and materials are available __-------------------------------- $95, 028.00 New work, by hired labor: Installation of river gages and erection of rock barriers above trail to 9-foot tunnel operating house.

EMERGENCY FLOOD CONTROL WORK UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE ACT APPROVED JULY 12, 1943 Because of the heavy demands for emergency repair work to 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 Secre- tary of War and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers for the repair, restoration, and strengthening of levees and other flood- control structures which had been threatened or destroyed by the recent floods. Pursuant to the act of July 12, 1943, allotments of $17,500 and $65,000 were made during fiscal year 1945 for emer- gency repairs to a drift barrier in the Nooksack River near Lawrence, Wash., and to a dike at Skagway, Alaska, respectively. Plans and specifications were prepared for repair of the drift barrier on Nooksack River and contract was awarded for the work. The costs were $765.21, all for maintenance. Expendi- tures were $731.34. Emergency repairs to the dike at Skagway were accomplished during the period March to May 1945. Costs were $40,722.59 for maintenance. Expenditures were $38,748.51. Total costs and expenditures for maintenance were $41,487.80 and $39,479.85. The balance unexpended on June 30, 1945, $43,020.15 plus ac- counts receivable, $380, will be applied to accounts payable and to completion of work under this heading.

YAKIMA, YAKIMA RIVER, WASH. Location.-The work covered by this project is on the Yakima River, in the vicinity of the city of Yakima, Wash. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a system of levees, stop-log structures and river revetment, consisting of the following features: About 12,000 feet of levee on the right bank of Yakima River extending from the embankment of the Northern Pacific Railway's main line bridge to a connection with an existing dike approximately 4,200 feet long; about 7,300 feet of levee from the downstream end of the existing dike to high ground at the Moxee Highway bridge; stop-log structures on the Hubbard and Pacific Power & Light Co.'s canal crossings under United States Highway No. 410; stop- log structure at highway underpass under Northern Pacific Rail- way (main line); appurtenant drainage structures and head- works. The project will provide protection to the city of Yakima against a flood of the magnitude of that of 1933. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1938, is $163,000 for construction. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938 (H. Doc. No. 579, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). This docu- ment contains the latest map of the locality. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. Assurances of local cooperation have been approved by the Secretary of War. Rights-of-way for the project have not as yet been furnished. Operations and results during fiscal year.-There were no oper- ations other than inspections. The costs and expenditures were $1,605.96, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction work has been done. Field surveys have been completed and plans and specifica- tions prepared. The costs and expenditures have been $24,174.67, all for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, $4,825.33, will be applied to revision of plans and specifications to bring them up to date, if necessary. The additional sum of $134,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1946 or 1947 to complete construction of the project.

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 provision for maintenance was made by the act ap- proved 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 expen- ditures 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 of Resurrection Bay. The estimate of cost for construction, revised in 1944, is $292.000, exclusive of amounts expended on the pre- vious 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.-Fullycomplied with. 2314 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Operations and results during fiscal year.-A total of 348 tons of armor rail in the transitions and the tunnel invert was re- moved, straightened, replaced, and welded to the steel channel cross-ties, and 207 cubic yards of concrete were placed between the rails and to restore eroded tunnel lining, by contract during the period January-April 1945. Costs were $51,205.64, all for new work. The expenditures were $41,815.61. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1940, except concreting between armor rails in the tunnel invert. In February 1944, the armor rails were in bad condition owing to failure of the hold-down bolts. The rails were welded to the steel channel cross-ties and concrete was placed between them to complete the project in 1945. The costs of the existing project to June 30, 1945, have been $302,000, all for new work. The expenditures have been $292,578.10. Proposed operations.-Funds unexpended June 30, 1945, $9,- 421.90, will be applied to final contract payments and to miscel- laneous costs in connection with completion of the project. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947, as the project has been completed and will be trans- ferred to local interests for maintenance.

FLOOD CONTROL--SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2315 44. SALMON RIVER, ALASKA Location.-Salmon River rises in Canada and flows in a south- erly direction into the southeastern part of Alaska and empties into Portland 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 protects the town site of Hyder, Alaska, from floods in Salmon River and deflects 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 mainte- nance. The project was authorized by the act approved June 18, 1934, Public No. 388, Seventh-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 Ter- ritorial legislature in 1933 for this purpose. Annual contributions have been made as required. 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.-There were no opera- tions other than inspection. Costs and expenditures were $211.57, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935. An examination made July 1, 1944, showed that armor stone has been removed from a portion of the dike by river scour. The costs and expenditures from Federal funds have been $34,231.20 for new work and $7,857.82 for maintenance, a total of $42,089.02. In addition, $7,000 has been expended from con- tributed funds for new work and $800 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The Federal funds unexpended June 30, 1944, $6,388.43, together with $800 contributed funds on hand, will be applied to repairs to the dike, by hired labor, during the summer of 1945. The additional sum of $7,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance of the dike by hired labor.

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 control 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 P43ck dam in Chena Slough at the foot of Moose Creek Butte and for relocation of the Richardson Highway 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 1944, is $553,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938 (H. Doc. No. 561, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). This docu- ment contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. Fully com- plied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations to seal the dike were completed by hired labor during May and June 1945 by placing 7,428 cubic yards of stone in 26 groins, and 30 cords of brush and 3,200 cubic yards of earth in a sealing mat, at a cost of $19,943.20. Payments to the Alaska Road Commission for restoration of dike completed May 1944, and inspection there- of, totaled $19,380.38. The total costs were $39,323.58, all for new work. The expenditures were $34,772.30. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1945. 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 Commission under a cooperative agreement, and was completed, including surfacing of the dike roadway, in May 1944. 2318 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Sealing of the dike by construction of groins and a brush and earth mat was completed by hired labor during May and June 1945. The costs have been $552,200.34, all for new work. The expenditures have been $543,307.56. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, $13,692.44, will be expended on costs incurred in connection with completion of the project. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947, as the project has been completed and will be turned over to local interests for maintenance.

This harbor is on the south coast of the island of Oahu, about 2,100 miles from San Francisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 4109.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 40 feet deep and 500 feet wide; easing the curve where the entrance chan- nel joins the inner harbor; deepening the harbor basin to 35 feet, for a general width of 1,520 feet; dredging along the reserved channel a channel 35 feet deep, 1,000 feet wide, and 1,000 feet long, and thence a channel of same depth along the northerly side of the reserved channel 400 feet wide and about 3,000 feet long, connect- ing Honolulu Harbor with Kapalama Basin. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 1.9 feet, and the extreme tidal range under brdinary conditions is 2.3 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $3,959,- 600. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost of annual main- tenance is $15,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1905 Deepening the inner harbor with a general width Annual Report 1905, p. 2565. of 1,200 feet and easing the curve between the entrance channel and the inner harbor.

Recommended modifications of project.-Modification recom- mended by the Chief of Engineers is published in Seventy-seventh Congress, first session, House of Representatives Report No. 1431 (to accompany H. R. 5993) dated November 21, 1941. The recom- mended modification provides for deepening the full 1,000-foot width throughout the entire length of the reserved channel to 35 feet, and provides for a turning basin 35 feet deep and roughly 2,000 feet wide by 2,000 feet long in Kapalama Basin (see U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 4109), with such modifica- tion thereof as the Chief of Engineers may find advisable. The estimated total cost of the modification is $1,410,000, with annual maintenance of $5,000 in addition to that now required. Terminal facilities.-The United States Government controls terminal facilities for the use of the Navy, the Engineer Depart- ment, and the Central Pacific Base Command Army Port and Service Command. The terminal facilities owned by the Terri- torial Government are administered by the Territorial Board of Harbor Commissioners and, are open to shipping on equal terms. Pipe lines for fuel oil, molasses, kerosene, gad line, distillate, and water are available. There are 38 piers and wharves, of which 7 are owned by the United States Government, 14 by the Territorial Government, and 17 by private interests. Six of the 38 piers and wharves are used only by small vessels or ships handling special cargoes. In the present emergency, the United States Government operates, ex- clusively, 7 privately owned piers and wharves. In view of the heavy water-borne traffic in this harbor imme- diately prior to the present period of wartime shipping, the facilities are considered inadequate for peacetime shipping. The Territorial Board of Harbor Commissioners reports that Diesel oil lines to piers 8, 9, 10, and 11, and fuel-oil lines to pier 35 have been installed during the past fiscal year. Although authorized, actual installation of fuel-oil lines to pier 36 is not presently contemplated. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Maintenance opera- tions accomplished with regular funds consisted of hydrographic survey completed in June 1945 at a cost of $6,532.34. The cost and expenditures for the year were $6,532.34. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935. The controlling depth in June 1945 was 33 feet in the harbor basin, 38 feet in the entrance channel and 32.8 in the improved portion of the reserved channel. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1945, was $4,320,203.68 from regular funds, of which $3,952,363.43 was for RIVERS AND HARBORS--HONOLULU, T. H., DISTRICT 2323 new work and $367,840.25 was for maintenance. The total ex- penditures were $4,320,203.68. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, amounting to $3,240.60, will be applied to maintenance work con- sisting of hydrographic survey and seawall repairs by hired labor with government plant. The additional sum of $2,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance work consisting of hydro- graphic survey, March 1947, by Government plant and hired labor.

PORT ALLEN HARBOR, T. H. Location.-This harbor is located on the southern coast of the island of Kauai, about 115 miles northwest of Honolulu. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 4108.) Existing project. This provides for a rubble-mound break- water about 1,200 feet long on the east side of the bay; for the dredging of a harbor basin about 1,000 feet wide, 1,500 feet long, and 35 feet deep; and an entrance channel 500 feet wide and 35 feet deep. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 1.7 feet, and the extreme tidal range under ordinary conditions is 2.7 feet. The estimated Federal cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $755,000; the estimated local cost is $200,000. The estimate of cost for annual maintenance, revised in 1945, is $18,000. The existing project was authorized by the Public Wbrks Ad- ministration September 6, 1933, and adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 30, 73d Cong., 1st sess.). The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 180, 77th Cong., 1st sess.) modified the project to provide for additional dredging of an area at the northerly side of the existing project, 200 feet wide, 1,200 feet long and 35 feet deep. (See H. Doc. No. 180, 77th Cong., 1st sess., which contains the latest published docu- ment.) Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-The Territory has constructed a concrete wharf with a concrete-steel transit shed and dredged berths. Pipe lines for oil and molasses and a sugar conveyor are available. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The portion of the existing project authorized prior to the modification adbpted by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, was completed in 1935. The controlling depth in November 1943 was 33 feet. RIVERS AND HARBORS-HONOLULU, T.

Location.-The harbor is located on the north coast of Puerto Rico, about 30 miles westward of cape San Juan and about 1,150 miles southeast of Jacksonville, Fla. (See U. S. Navy Hydro- graphic Office Chart No. 1411 and U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 908 and 920.) Previous projects.-Before the American occupation about $647,000 had been expended under the Spanish administration. The original project by the United States was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907. For further details see page 2007 of Annual Report for 1915, page 1718 of Annual Re- port for 1916, and page 1939 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 800 feet wide and 38 feet deep at mean low water across the outer bar, a distance of about 1,700 feet, to the bend in the channel; thence, 1,200 feet wide and 30 feet deep at mean low water, narrowing to 1,000 feet width at the inner harbor, about 4,000 feet distant from the bend; dredging the inner harbor to the same depth over an area of about 329 acres, and extending this depth easterly into the San Antonio Channel for about 3,400 feet with a width of about 1,100 feet at its mouth, narrowing to 600 feet at 1,200 feet from the mouth, and increasing to 800 feet at the easterly end; the removal to a depth of 8 feet at mean low water of Anegado, Largo and Capitanejo Shoals; construction of a channel about 6,000 feet long and 400 feet wide, 30 feet deep at mean low water, from the existing anchorage to, and including a turning basin of the same depth, 1,000 feet wide and 2,200 feet long in front of the Graving Dock in the southeast arm of the harbor; and mainte- nance of a channel about 6,000 feet long and 300 feet wide, 30 feet deep at mean low water, from the Graving Dock channel to, and including, a turning basin with an average width of 1,000 feet and a length of about 1,700 feet, in front of the Army terminal, in Pueblo Viejo Bay. The mean tidal range is 1.1 feet and the extreme varies between about 1 foot below mean low water and about 2.8 feet above mean low water. 2336 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARiMi, 1945 The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1939, is $3,839,000, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects but in- cluding $100,000 contributed by local interests. The existing project now includes the entrance channel and turning basin to Army terminal, which cost $1,543,711.84, for which expenditure was made from military appropriations and is not included in the estimate hereinbefore stated. The latest 1945 approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance of the existing project, including the Army terminal channel and turning basin, is $185,500.

Local cooperation.-Local cooperation, required by the River and Harbor Act of October 17, 1940, was accepted and approved by the Chief of Engineers on January 23, 1941. Local interests are required to furnish suitable bulkheaded dis- posal areas for subsequent maintenance as they become necessary. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 27 piers and bulkhead wharves with available dockage of about 18,000 feet served by the improve- ment. Seventeen piers and wharves are open to the public on equal terms. Of these, 4 are owned by the Insular Government of Puerto Rico, and 13 privately owned. Of all the terminals,' 8 have mechanical freight handling devices and 15 have railroad connections. The existing facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-Regular funds.-No new work was performed. Maintenance hydrographic surveys of existing project areas and removal and disposal of floating debris RIVERS AND HARBORS-PUERTO RICO DISTRICT 2337 were accomplished with Government plant and hired labor at a total cost of $29,653.92. Total expenditures were $30,599.72. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1942, except for 16,000 cubic yards of rock remaining in the entrance channel that was not removed by the contractor, the contract having been terminated by supplemental agreement. The controlling depths are as follows: Entrance channel, as of September 1944, 38 feet for a width of 300 feet along the center of the channel, to the bend; thence 32 feet for a width decreasing from 1,100 feet to 700 feet from the bend to the maneuvering area; 29 feet in the maneuvering area, as of October 1944; 29 feet in the anchorage area, as of August 1944; 29 feet in San Antonio Channel, as of September 1944; 30 feet in the graving dock chan- nel and turning basin, as of October 1944; and 29 feet in the Army terminal channel and turning basin, as of April 1945. The work remaining to be done to complete the maintenance project is the completion of the hydrographic surveys and maps.

PONCE HARBOR, P. R. Location.-Ponce Harbor is located on the south central coast of Puerto Rico, southeast and at a distance by water of about 150 miles from San Juan Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey Charts Nos. 920 and 927.) Existing project.-This provides for a sea wall of an aggregate length of 2,362 feet, extending 2,000 feet along the causeway east- erly of the municipal pier and about 362 feet westerly from the municipal pier across a coral reef to deep water in the harbor; a bulkhead surmounted by a suitable concrete platform to be con- structed under the protection afforded by the sea wall, of an aggregate length of 4,340 feet, 2,870 feet to be designed for water 30 feet in depth and 1,470 feet for water 18 feet in depth; and dredging 2 areas, 30 and 18 feet in depth channelward of the bulkheads, containing approximately 77 and 47 acres, respec- tively; also for dredging to a depth of 30 feet at mean low water of an area channelward of a line 100 feet from the faces of the municipal pier, and for construction of a breakwater 2,400 feet long, extending in a southwesterly direction from Carenero Point. The mean tidal range is 0.6 foot and the extreme varies between about 1 foot below mean low water and 2 feet above mean low water. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1942, is $1,298,500, of which $424,539.70 is the cost of work to be undertaken by local interests. The latest 1942 approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $44,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-PUERTO RICO DISTRICT 2339 Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1925 Present project adopted_________________________ H. Doc. No. 532, 67th Cong., 4th sess.

(Con- without contribution by local interests, the tains latest published map.) dredging included in the project and return to local interests funds contributed and advanced for such dredging, all other portions of the im- provement hereafter to be at the expense of local interests. Mar. 2,1945 Elimination of the improvement of the area for a Public Law 14, 79th Cong., 1st sess. 9-foot depth, and dredging to a depth of 30 feet at mean low water of an area channelward of a line 100 feet from the faces of the municipal pier, and for construction of a breakwater 2,400 feet long. Local cooperation.-The project adopted by the River and Har- bor Act approved March 3, 1925, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts approved August 30, 1935 and March 2, 1945, pro- vides that the United States shall return to local interests funds heretofore contributed and advanced for dredging under the proj- ect authorized in 1925 and shall undertake, without contribution by local interests, the remaining dredging included in the project; and that all other portions of the improvement (bulkhead and sea wall) shall be at the expense of local interests. Under the terms of the project as modified by the acts approved August 30, 1935, and March 2, 1945, local interests are required to con- struct 2,362 linear feet of sea wall and 4,340 linear feet of concrete bulkhead wharf under plans approved by the War Department. The project is contingent on the condition that the concrete bulk- head shall be completed by necessary stages in advance of the dredging. In addition to the items of local cooperation required by previous acts, the act approved March 2, 1945, requires that local interests construct a rubble mound bulkhead and public land- ing for small boats and recreational craft, and cede to the United States a 1-acre plot fronting on the rubble mound bulkhead. These conditions of local cooperation have not been fully com- plied with. The municipality of Ponce has constructed 1,890 feet of bulkhead wharf, of which 390 feet partially failed in August 1931, and prior to modification of the project by the act of August 30, 1935, contributed one-half the cost of the construction of 362 feet of sea wall. Terminal facilities.-The municipality of Ponce owns and oper- ates the only deep-draft terminal facilities in Ponce Harbor, which consist of a municipal pier 515 feet long and 108 feet wide, and a bulkhead wharf 1,890 feet long. Both are equipped for the transfer and storage of freight. The municipal pier has a steel transit shed 386 feet by 85 feet. The bulkhead wharf has two steel storage sheds, one 362 feet by 58 feet and the other 262 feet by 58 feet. The facilities provided in the existing project are con- sidered adequate for the present commerce. Local interests plan to rehabilitate the existing wharf which, when completed, will serve adequately the demands of normal commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. 2340 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The percentages of completion, based on the physical extent of the work accomplished for the different features of the existing project, are as follows: dredging in the 18-foot project 0 percent, dredging in the 30-foot project adjacent to the bulkhead wharf 86.5 percent, dredging in the area serving the municipal pier 0 percent, total dredging 54 per- cent; construction of bulkhead wharf in the 18-foot area 0 percent, construction of the bulkhead wharf in the 30-foot project 67 percent, total bulkhead wharf construction 44 percent; sea-wall construction 100 percent; rubble mound bulkhead to be built by local interests 0 percent; breakwater construction 0 percent. The 30-foot maneuvering and berthing area adjacent to the municipal bulkhead wharf has been dredged to project depth to within 20 feet from the face of the wharf, except for a section about 500 feet long by 100 feet wide extending from 400 to 900 feet from the westerly end of the bulkhead wharf, where a failure occurred in 1931. About 362 feet of sea wall have been constructed and local in- terests have completed a section of the bulkhead wharf about 1,890 feet long, on the southerly side of the 30-foot dredged area, and connected its easterly end with the causeway leading to the old municipal pier, by means of a riprap bulkhead. The controlling depth in the 30-foot project area along the municipal bulkhead, as of November 1941, is 29 feet for a width varying from 800 feet to 1,000 feet from the entrance to a point about 500 feet from the easterly limit line, except for a strip averaging 60 feet in width and 24 feet in depth along the southerly limit, adjacent to the bulkhead; thence 22 feet for a width of about 750 feet to the easterly limit line, except for a section 250 feet long, 100 feet wide and 30 feet deep, in the southwesterly end of the project area, adjacent to the bulkhead. In the 18-foot project area the controlling depth, as of Novem- ber 1941, is 18 feet in the westerly part, thence sloping to 4 feet at the easterly limit line. In the 30-foot project area serving the municipal pier the con- trolling depth, as of March 1943, is 30 feet in the project area 300 feet wide by 300 feet long lying south of the project limit, which is 100 feet off the end of the municipal pier; in the project area east of the pier, averaging 400 feet wide by 950 feet long, the depth, beginning at the south project limit and progressing north, is 30 feet for the first 50 feet, 24 feet for the next 500 feet, and 19 feet for the next 350 feet to the north project limit. In the project area west of the pier, averaging 475 feet wide by 700 feet long, the depth, beginning at the south project limit and progressing north, is 30 feet for the first 300 feet, 24 feet for the next 200 feet, and 13 feet for the next 200 feet to the north project limit. The work remaining to be done by the United States under the existing project consists of completing the dredging of the 30-foot maneuvering area adjacent to the municipal bulkhead terminal; dredging of the 18-foot area; dredging of the 30-foot area serving the municipal pier; and construction of the breakwater extending southwesterly from Carenero Point. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PUERTO RICO DISTRICT 2341 There remains to be constructed by the city of Ponce, to com- plete the project, about 970 linear feet of bulkhead wharf for the 30-foot depth area, and 1,470 linear feet of bulkhead wharf for the 18-foot depth area. The remaining 2,350 linear feet of bulk- head along the 9-foot project was eliminated by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945. The 2,000 linear feet of sea wall to be constructed along the causeway east of the municipal pier is no longer required. In addition, there also remains to be constructed by local in- terests, east of the municipal pier, a rubble mound bulkhead and public landing for small boats and recreational craft. A 1-acre plot confronting on the rubble mound bulkhead is to be ceded to the United States. The sum of $21,960.30 contributed funds was expended by the United States for a sea wall construction prior to the last modifi- cation of the project. The total costs and expenditures of the existing project, to the end of the fiscal year, were $248,584.73; United States funds $176,293.60, contributed funds $21,960.30, a total of $198,253.90 for new work; and $50,330.83 United States funds for mainte- nance. Proposed operations.-There are no funds available for this project and no work is contemplated during fiscal year 1946. The sum of $478,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947, as follows: New work: Complete, under contract to be entered into, dredging of the 30-foot maneuvering area adjacent to the municipal bulk- head terminal _________----------------------------__ $78, 500 Dredge, under contracts to be entered into, the 30-foot maneu- vering areas serving the municipal pier, and construct a break- water 2,400 feet long ____------- -------------------------- 400, 000 Total --------------------------------------------- 478, 500 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945 _----------------------- 176, 293. 60 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945 ----------------------- 50, 330. 83 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 '226, 624. 43 Net total expenditures _----------------------------- 226, 624. 43 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945 --------- 226, 624. 43 Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for comple- _ tion of existing project2 ------ --- --------------- 478, 500. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, for new work 2 - ---------- ----- 478, 500. 00 1 Exclusive of $21,960.30 contributed funds expended for new work. 2 Exclusive of available funds. 3. MAYAGUEZ HARBOR, P. R. Location.-The harbor is on the west coast of Puerto Rico, about 110 miles by water from San Juan Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 920 and 931.) Existing project.-This provides for an approach channel to the deepwater terminal, 30 feet deep, 1,000 feet wide at the outer 2342 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 end, decreasing uniformly in width to 500 feet opposite the westerly end of the terminal, thence continuing with the same width to the inshore end of said terminal. The mean tidal range is 1.1 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1932, was $179,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for annual mainte- nance is $3,000. The project was authorized by the Public Works Administration September 6, 1933, and adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 215, 72d Cong., 1st sess., and Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 1, 73d Congress, 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the former document. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The terminals consist of two piers used by lighters, located in shoal water in the east central section of the harbor; and a modern deepwater terminal, located in the northeast section of the harbor, consisting of a bulkhead wharf about 1,270 feet in length, with a storage shed 800 feet long and 60 feet wide, immediately shoreward thereof. The facilities appear adequate for the normal needs of commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No new work was performed. Maintenance surveys were carried on by Government plant and hired labor to establish topography of shore line in the vicinity of Mayaguez terminal and to tie in the local coordinate system with the Lambert Grid for Puerto Rico. Maintenance hydrographic and topographic surveys of the existing project were completed with Government plant and hired labor. Total costs and expenditures during the fiscal year were $2,239.63 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1934. The controlling depth as of June 1945 is 30 feet except for a sand shoal along the northerly project limit line, about 800 feet in length, gradually increasing in width to about 125 feet at a point approximately 100 feet west of the westerly end of the Mayaguez shipping terminal bulkhead; and a mud shoal along the full length of the easterly project limit line, width varying from 100 to 350 feet, least depth 27 feet. The total costs and expenditures of the existing project, to the end of the fiscal year, were $242,763.74; of which $21,000 regular funds and $147,186.69 Public Work funds, a total of $168,186.69 United States funds were for new work; and $74,577.05 regular funds were for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and accounts receivable at the end of fiscal year 1945, amounting to $14,182.24, will be applied to surveys and to contingencies. The additional sum of $36,600 can be profitably expended in the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance contract dredging.

ARECIBO HARBOR, P. R. Location.-The harbor is located on the north shore of Puerto Rico about 40 miles west of San Juan Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 903.) Previous projects.--A previous project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935, subject to cer- tain conditions of local cooperation. Local interests were unable to comply with these conditions, and further, the type of deep- water terminal proposed was objectionable to navigation inter- ests. As a result no work was done and no expenditures were made under the project. For further details see pages 1619 and 1620 of Annual Report for 1936. Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a stone breakwater 1,200 feet long extending from Point Morrillos to Cosinera Rock; dredging an entrance channel 25 feet deep at mean low water and 400 feet wide, flared to 650 feet wide at the ocean entrance and widened for the inner 650 feet of its length to form a maneuvering area of the same depth fronting a proposed marginal wharf 1,000 feet in length. The mean tidal range is 1.1 feet and the extreme varies between about 1 foot below mean low water and about 2.8 feet above mean low water. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1944, is $1,407,000, including $288,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $20,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Har- bor Act of August 26, 1937. (See Rivers and Harbors Comnmittee 2344 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Doc. No. 43, 75th Cong., 1st sess., which document contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Plansand specifications of a bulkhead wharf and terminal to be constructed by the Municipality of Arecibo were approved by the Chief of Engineers on December 19, 1940, and by the Secretary of War on December 23, 1940. Plans of a provisional wharf to be constructed of native timber to serve the needs of Arecibo Harbor until such time as conditions again be- come normal, after which it was proposed to construct the per- manent terminal in accordance with plans already approved, were approved by the Chief of Engineers on February 1, 1943. The terms of local cooperation in reference to terminal facilities have not been complied with. Terminal facilities.-No terminal facilities are available at Arecibo Harbor. The proposed marginal wharf, 1,000 feet long, and terminal, to be provided as local cooperation under the existing project, are considered adequate for normal commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work.-Hired- labor demobilization of camp and preparation of after-dredging map were completed at a cost of $1,262.18. Maintenance.-Hired-laborrepairs to breakwater were com- pleted at a cost of $2,430.02. Total costs during fiscal year were $3,692.20. Total expenditures during fiscal year were $28,720.15 for new work and $2,430.02 for maintenance, a total of $31,150.17. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1944. The controlling depth is 25 feet except for a shoal area in the south half of the outer entrance channel with a least depth of 24 feet and an area at the southeasterly corner of the maneuvering area, extending about 400 feet west from the easterly limit line and about 150 feet north from the southerly limit line, with depths decreasing from 25 feet to 1 foot. On February 1, 1943, the Chief of Engineers granted permis- sion to the Commissioner of the Interior, Government of Puerto Rico, to postpone the construction of the permanent terminal, au- thorized by the Secretary of War to be built as a measure of local cooperation, and approved plans for a provisional wharf to be constructed of materials available locally, to serve the needs of Arecibo Harbor until such time as conditions again became normal, after which the permanent terminal was to be constructed. Neither the provisional nor the permanent structure has been built to date. Until terminal facilities adequate for the docking of ocean-going vessels have been provided, effective use of the dredged entrance channel and turning basin cannot be made. The total costs and expenditures of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $1,418,504.88, of which $1,128,074.86 United States funds and $288,000 contributed funds were for new work and $2,430.02 United States funds were for maintenance. Proposed operations. The unexpended balance and accounts receivable at the end of fiscal year 1945, amounting to $1,495.12, will be applied to maintenance contingencies. No work is proposed during the fiscal year 1947.

GUAYANES HARBOR, P. R. Location.-Guayanes Harbor is the port of Yabucoa and is located on the southeast coast of Puerto Rico about 75 miles by water from San Juan Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 918 and 920.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a short approach channel 23 feet deep at mean low water, 300 feet wide, and an anchorage area 2,000 feet long by 1,300 feet wide of the same depth. The mean tidal range at Maunabo, about 7 miles south- west of Guayanes Harbor, is 0.7 foot. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1936, is $108,600, in- cluding $40,000 to be contributed by local interests, and the approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance made in 1936 is $2,200. The project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. 243, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is printed in that document. Local cooperation.-The act authorizing the project provides that local interests shall contribute $40,000 toward the cost, and furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance as required, secure the United States against all claims for damages incidental 2346 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 to the improvement, and agree to provide wharfage facilities and access thereto from the harbor with a depth of water suitable for use by lighters having a draft of 8 feet. The Commissioner of Interior of Puerto Rico advised in May 1940 that it appeared impracticable for local interests to comply with features of local cooperation. Terminal facilities.-The Yabucoa Sugar Co. owns and operates, as a private enterprise, a lighterage terminal for the shipment of raw sugar and molasses, and for the receipt of general merchan- dise. The terminal and transfer facilities consist of one pier for the handling of sugar, one pier for general cargo, a pipeline trestle for transferring molasses from shore tanks to tank barges, a bulkhead wharf equipped with stiff-leg derrick of 15 tons ca- pacity, a warehouse 220 feet long by 70 feet wide, a molasses tank of 1,000,000 gallons capacity, and a gasoline tank of 80,000 gallons capacity. A narrow-gage railroad connects these terminal facilities with the sugar mill owned by the same company, and with the town of Yabucoa. A road, about 3.7 miles long, connects the terminal with the insular highway system. The depths alongside the previously described piers and wharf are from 4 to 5 feet at mean low water. The depth at the pipe- line outlet is 8 feet at mean low water. The facilities to be pro- vided in the existing project are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under the existing project. There have been no costs or expenditures. The controlling depths as of June .1936 were 23 feet in the en- trance channel for a width varying from 300 feet to 180 feet and 20 feet in the anchorage area for a width of 1,300 feet, except the areas adjacent to the limit lines which have a least depth of approximately 16 feet. Proposed operations.-There are no funds available for this project and no work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1946. The sum of $108,000, including $40,000 to be contributed by local interests, can be profitably expended for completion of the project during the fiscal year 1947.

FAJARDO HARBOR, P. R. Location.-The harbor is located on the northeastern coast of Puerto Rico, 38 miles southeast of San Juan. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts No. 920 and 921.) Existing project.-This provides for an approach channel 28 feet deep, about 0.9 mile long and 200 feet wide, and a turning basin of the same depth, 10.5 acres in extent, in front of the Fajardo Development Co.'s terminal. The mean tidal range is 1.1 feet and the extreme varies between about 1 foot below mean low water and about 2.5 feet above mean low water. The estimated first cost is $241,000 (including $30,000 local con- tribution). The approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,800. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945. (See H. Doc. No. 280, 76th Cong., 1st sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to provide adequate deep water terminal and contribute $30,000 toward first cost of improvement. Terminal facilities.-A lighterage terminal, open to all on equal terms, is maintained by the Fajardo Development Co., in associa- tion with the Fajardo Sugar Co. Terminal facilities include a concrete pier 285 feet long and 65 feet wide, equipped with a stiff-leg derrick for handling heavy cargo. A trestle extends 100 feet seaward from the outer end of this pier, carrying a pipe line for the discharge of molasses from shore tanks to tank barges. Floating plant operated in connection with the terminal consists of eight lighters, with a carrying capacity of about 80 tons each, and one tugboat. Storage facilities on shore near the head of the pier consists of two 2,000,000-gallon molasses tanks, and a warehouse, 120 feet by 400 feet, affording space for the storage of 20,000 tons of raw sugar. Spur tracks connect the pier and warehouse with the main line of the Fajardo Development Co. Railroad. The terminal is served also by a good road. A pier 280 feet long and 6 feet wide, with 6 feet of water along- side, is located 150 feet southeast of the lighterage terminal. This pier is equipped with a 60-centimeter railroad track used for handling the product of a limekiln in operation on Hicacos Cay, one of the small coral islands lying 4 miles northeast of Fajardo Harbor. At the shore end of the pier is a small warehouse, con- nected by highway and railroad with the island systems. The pier is not open to the public. There is ample undeveloped space available for the establish- ment of deepwater terminals. The facilities to be provided in the existing project are con- sidered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. 2348 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under the existing project. There have been no costs or expenditures. The controlling depths in 1938 were 20 feet in the approach channel to about 0.5 mile from the existing pier, thence sloping to 10 feet adjacent to the southerly limit of the turning basin, and to 7 feet adjacent to the southerly limit of the proposed berthing areas, where the new pier is to be built as local cooperation. Proposed operations.-There are no funds available for this project and no work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1946. The sum of $241,000, including $30,000 to be contributed by local interests, can be profitably expended for completion of the existing project during the fiscal year 1947.

ST. THOMAS HARBOR, V. I. Location.--The harbor is located on the south shore of the island of St. Thomas, V. I., about 80 miles by water east of San Juan Harbor, Puerto Rico. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 920 and 933.) Existing project.-This provides for removing Scorpion Rock at the entrance of the harbor to a depth of 36 feet at mean low water; dredging an entrance channel to this same depth and 600 feet wide; dredging an anchorage area approximately 3,150 feet long and varying from 3,650 to 1,600 feet in width, to a depth of 33 feet at mean low water, and construction of a breakwater 700 feet long between Rupert Rock and the mainland. The mean tidal range is 0.6 foot and the extreme varies between about 1 foot below mean low water and 2 feet above mean low water. Irregular fluctuations due to storms and hurricanes materially affect navigation; however, they do not occur frequently. The estimated cost of new work made in 1937 is $743,000, and the approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, made in 1937, is $12,000. The project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of Au- gust 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 200, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is printed in that document. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with, except that local in- terests are required to furnish suitable spoil-disposal areas for subsequent maintenance as required. Terminal facilities.-The only deep-water terminal in St. Thomas Harbor is located in the easterly part of the harbor and RIVERS AND HARBORS-PUERTO RICO DISTRICT 2349 is owned and operated by the West Indian Co. This terminal is stated to be a public service terminial available to all on equal terms. On this wharf are suitable warehouses and a large area available for open storage. The terminal is connected with the town by a good road. There are no railroads on the island, but motor transportation is available for handling freight. Numerous small wharves and quays along the north shore of the harbor serve as berths for the many small sailing vessels and motor launches plying an active trade between St. Thomas and nearby islands. These docks are owned both by private interests and by the municipality; several are equipped with hand cranes for handling heavy lifts; depth of water in the berths varies from 4 to 11 feet; and the docks are connected to the island highway system by well paved roads. The facilities contained in existing project are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been performed under the existing project. There have been no costs or ex- penditures. The controlling depths as of September 1936 were 34 feet in the entrance channel for a width varying from 300 to 600 feet and 33 feet in the southerly portion of the anchorage area, grad- ually sloping to 16 feet at the limit lines in the northerly portion. Proposed operations.-There are no funds available for this project and no work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1946. The sum of $131,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for new work in the removal of Scorpion Rock and in dredging of the entrance channel as provided under the existing project.

FLOOD CONTROL, POWER, AND IRRIGATION 2353 SURVEYS FOR NAVIGATION, FLOOD CONTROL, POWER, AND IRRIGATION Existing project.-The existing project provides for making in- vestigations of those navigable streams and their tributaries whereon power development appears feasible and practicable, with a view to the formulation of general plans for the most effective improvement of such streams for the purposes of navigation and the prosecution of such improvement in combination with the most efficient development of the potential water power, the control of floods, and the needs of irrigation. The River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, adopted the project as laid down in House Document No. 308, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session, and added the following streams to those listed in that document: Red River, Yazoo River and tributaries, Pearl River, Altamaha River and tributaries, tributaries of the Warrior, Coosa, and Tombigbee Rivers. The Flood Control Act approved May 15, 1928, extended the scope of the investigation and surveys so as to include tributaries of the Mississippi River system, subject to destructive floods, and laid down certain addi- tional investigations on these tributaries. The estimated cost of the work described in House Document No. 308 is $7,322,400. In addition, the act of May 15, 1928, au- thorized the expenditure of $5,000,000 of flood-control funds for the surveys of the tributaries of the Mississippi River. Further study or review of reports is authorized by section 6 of the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, reading as follows: That the surveys authorized pursuant to section 1 of the River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, and House Document No. 308, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session, shall be supplemented by such additional study or investigation as the Chief of Engineers finds necessary to take into account important changes in economic factors as they occur, and additional stream-flow records, or other factual data. Operations and results.-Work on each of the surveys involved was inaugurated in the spring of 1928. Valuable cooperation has been received from other Federal agencies; from State; county, and municipal engineers; from levee and drainage districts, hydro- electric companies, railroads, universities, and other local sources of information. Stream-gaging stations, where needed, have been established mainly in cooperation with the United States Geo- logical Survey. At the close of the fiscal year 1945, surveys of 190 streams had been completed and reports thereon transmitted to Congress, and reports on the remaining streams well advanced to completion. For list of reports transmitted to Congress, see Annual Report for 1938, pages 1953-1957. In addition, three reports have been transmitted to Congress as follows: Name of stream Transmitted to Congress Printed in document No. Mississippi River above the mouth of the Ohio River Mar. 16, 1940 H. 669, 76th Cong., 3d sess.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2427 CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION This Commission, consisting of three officers of the Corps of Engineers 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, com- prising the great central valley of California and extending from 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 Mountains on the south. These rivers empty into the head of Suisun Bay, ultimately dis- charging into the Pacific Ocean through the connecting bays and straits and the Golden Gate. The duties prescribed by the act creating the Commission are: 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 pro- tecting 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 execution, under the direction of the Secre- tary of War and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers. During the past year, the Commission consisted of the follow- ing officers of the Corps of Engineers: Col. Edwin C. Kelton, president; Col. R. C. Hunter, secretary and member; and Col. Rufus T. Putnam, member. The secretary has immediate super- vision of the work of the Commission. IMPROVEMENTS Navigation Page 1. Regulation of hydraulic mining and preparation of plans---------- 2427 2.

REGULATION OF HYDRAULIC MINING AND PREPARATION OF PLANS Location.-Operations are largely limited to the territory be- tween 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.) 2428 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Existing project.-This provides for regulating hydraulic- mining operations, planning the improvement of conditions upon the Sacramento 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 ap- plication by prospective miners, full investigation is made by the California Debris Commission, and permits to operate are issued to those who provide satisfactory 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: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 1, 1893 Created California Debris Commission and au- Executive Doc. No. 267, 51st Cong., 2d thorized (a) hydraulic mining under its regula- sess.; Executive Doc. No. 98, 47th tion in the drainage areas of the Sacramento and Cong., 1st sess. San Joaquin Rivers, if possible without injury to the navigability of these river systems or to lands adjacent thereto; and (b) preparation of plans by the Commission for improvement of the navigability of these river systems, and flood and debris control therein. Feb. 27, 1907 Authorized California Debris Commission to per- (Amendment of sec. 13 of act approved mit hydraulic mining without construction of Mar. 1, 1893.) impounding works, provided there is no injury to the navigability of the above river systems or the lands adjacent thereto. June 19, 1934 Amended act of Mar. 1, 1893, which provides for (Amendment of secs. 18 and 23 of act construction of debris dams or other restraining 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- cation 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 annua 1 payments of yardage taxes on mate- rial mined. June 25, 198 2! 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. 1 Public No. 425, 73d Cong. 2 Public No. 716, 75th Cong.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2429 Local cooperation.-Mine owners are required to bear all ex- penses incurred in complying with the orders of the Commission for regulation of mining and restraint of debris. Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year.-There were 54 hy- draulic mining inspections made at a cost of $2,570.15. Adminis- trative work overlaps that of improvements Nos. 2, 3, and 4 hereunder and that of the Sacramento engineer district. Cost of this work, including regulation of hydraulic mining and issuance of licenses, was $9,145.23. The total cost of all activities was $11,715.38. Total expenditures were $11,043.10. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The Commission has received 1,266 applications for hydraulic mining licenses; 23 mines are licensed, of which 5 are for storage behind Government debris dams. Surveys have been made of those portions of Yuba, Feather, Bear, and American Rivers containing 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 move- ment into the several reservoirs. Work remaining to be done is, in general, the continuation of the above or similar operations. The total cost of all work was $665,715.50 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $664,527.77. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, amounting to $10,951.16, together with an anticipated allotment of $5,000 will be used for payment of accounts payable, $1,187.73 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 exist- ing permits will be regulated, and necessary inspections, prepara- tion, and approval of plans, etc., will be made, as during preceding years. Studies, examinations, surveys, and miscellaneous opera- tions 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 $15,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1947 in order to continue the work assigned the Commission and meet the demands of the State and General public requiring consultation with the Commission.

TREATMENT OF THE YUBA RIVER DEBRIS SITUATION- RESTRAINING BARRIERS Location.-The works are located on the Yuba River between Marysville and the place where the river emerges from the foot- hills, 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 navigation 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 appro- priated 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.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-None. RIVERS AND HARBORS-CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2431 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 re- tards between Marysville and Daguerre Point, 11 miles upstream, at a total cost of $2,804.10. Repairs to the deck of Daguerre Point Dam were made by hired labor at a cost of $3,160.79. Total cost of work was $5,964.89, of which $3,466.33 were United States funds, and $2,498.56 were contributed funds. The expenditures were $3,197.16 United States funds and $2,498.56 contributed funds, a total of $5,695.72. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted 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. The total cost was as follows: Funds New work Maintenance Total United States____________ ________________________________ ' $361,482.28 $181, 686. 38 $543, 168. 66 Contributed ________ . . ______________ __________.. __ _ 361, 776. 74 180, 424. 15 542, 200. 89 Total $723, 259. 02 $362, 110. 53 $1,,085, 369. 55 The total expenditures were $1,085,100.38, of which $542,899.49 were United States funds and $542,200.89 were contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, amounting to $60,840.03 of United States funds and $16,299.11 of contributed funds, together with $45,000 to be contributed by the State of California, will be applied to maintenance between July and December 1945 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 reinforcement of embankments; to repair and reinforce the Daguerre Point Dam; and for bank protection on both banks from 2 to 11 miles above Marysville, by construction and repair of current retards. The additional sum of $15,000 (together with an equal contribu- tion from the State of California) can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 between July and December 1946, on work similar to the above. The work is necessary to prevent debris entering Feather and Sacramento Rivers, which are nav- igable streams.

SACRAMENTO RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, CALIF. (DEBRIS CONTROL) Location.-The project reservoirs will be constructed in the watersheds 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 re- sumption 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. 672607 -46--pt. 1, vol. 2---77 2434 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 impounded in these reservoirs. These have been furnished and accepted for sites (1), (2), and (3) above. Terminal facilities.-None required. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work.-On the completed North Fork Reservoir, rights-of-way purchased cost $126.18. On the completed Upper Narrows Reservoir, rights-of- way purchased cost $4,201.68. Maintenance.-Repairs to the access road to the Upper Nar- rows Dam cost $84.35; miscellaneous repairs at the North Fork Dam cost $3,386.31, and guard service at the two dams cost $7,320.65. Surveys and inspections of the Upper Narrows Dam cost $571.11. All of the preceding work was by hired labor. Total cost of all activities was $15,690.28, of which $4,327.86 was for new work and $11,362.42 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $16,160.28. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 76 percent completed. The North Fork Dam and Reservoir was com- pleted 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 agree- ment; repairs to footings and abutments and improvements to grounds were completed in 1944. 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 reser- voir have been obtained or are in course of procurement by con- demnation. 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 investigations were made and report rendered with a view to the selection of another site. Work was postponed on the Dog Bar site on Bear River due to litigation in- volving mining interests, and a review of the report in the project document was made, giving consideration to alternative locations of the proposed dam. The total cost of all activities was $5,271,096.47 for new work and $198,536.98 for maintenance, a total of $5,469,633.45. The. total expenditures were $5,469,115.69. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1945, amounting to $50,201.54, together with an anticipated additional allotment will be applied during the fiscal year 1946 as follows (by hired labor, unless otherwise stated) : RIVERS AND HARBORS--CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2435 Accounts payable _-------------------------------------- --- $517. 76 Maintenance: Repairs to access roads to North Fork and Upper Narrows Debris Reservoirs, and repairs and replacements at the 2 dams, Jan. 1 to June 30, 1945 ----------------------------- 8, 000. 00 Cost of watchmen's services at North Fork Dam and Upper Narrows Dam, July 1, to Dec. 31, 1945 ------------------------------------- 5, 000. 00 Cost of preceding item, Jan. 1, to June 30, 1945__ 5, 000. 00 Preliminary exploration of downstream face of Upper Narrows Dam, by contract, before grouting, August 1945 --------------------- 4, 000. 00 Grouting of Upper Narrows Dam, by contract, September and October 1945 ---------------- 35, 000. 00 Purchase and installation of trash rack at Upper Narrows Dam, August 1945 5, 683. 78 Total cost of maintenance ------------------------ 62, 683. 78 Total application of funds 63, 201. 54 The additional sum of $30,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 as follows: Maintenance: Repairs to access roads to North Fork and Upper Narrows Debris Reservoirs, and repairs and replacements at the 2 dams --------------------------------------------- $20, 000 Cost of watchmen's services at North Fork Dam and Upper Narrows Dam 10, 000 Total, for maintenance ------------------------------- 30, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1945 -------------------- 5, 271, 096. 47 $-- Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1945----- ------------ 198, 536. 98 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945 ...... 5, 469, 633. 45 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1945_._.......__ -__ - 517. 76 Net total expenditures -___-_-- __ _-- 5, 469, 115. 69 Unexpended balance June 30, 1945 ------------------------- 50, 201. 54 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1945 --------- 5, 519, 317. 23 Fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Cost of new work........-------------.. $1, 514, 187. 75 $194, 338. 05 $4, 297. 11 $13, 467. 98 $4, 327. 86 Cost of maintenance ....--------------- .. ---. ..------------------ 9, 146. 64 178, 027. 92 11, 362. 42 Total cost__________------ 1,514,187. 75 194, 338. 05 13, 443. 75 191, 495. 90 15, 690. 28 Total expended _ -..- -- 1, 799, 715. 39 222, 820. 96 13, 272. 61 190, 629. 60 16, 160. 28 Allotted ......._____________ .. .... 285,000.00 ___ . .. . .. .. . -... 80, 417.23 64, 900.00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1944 __-- _____-----_____-- $1, 461. 82 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Ap- propriation Act approved June 26, 1944_____- $20, 000. 00 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Ap- propriation Act approved Mar. 31, 1945 ----- 39, 500. 00 Amount allotted from War Department Civil Ap- propriation Act approved June 28, 1939- ---- 5, 400. 00 64, 900. 00 Amount to be accounted for ----------- ____ 66, 361. 82 2436 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 re- ported under the title "Alleviation of Debris Conditions in the Sacramento and Feather Rivers." For further details see An- nual Report for 1917, page 1815, and Annual Report for 1938, page 1995. Existing project. This provides for enlargement of the river channel below the mouth of Cache Slough, for making two cut- offs between 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 construction of bank-protection works and levee set-backs; for channel clearing, rectification, snagging, and bank protection, along Sacramento River and tributaries in Tehama County and from Red Bluff southerly; 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 Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944, provides for construction and enlargement of levees along the Sacramento and Feather Rivers, in Butte Basin and in Sutter and Yolo Bypasses; for local improvements, chiefly levees, on nine minor tributaries of the Sacramento River; for the construction of the Black Butte Dam and Reservoir on Stony Creek, westerly from Orland, Glenn County; and for the construction of a low level dam and reservoir, with power facilities, at Table Mountain, in Tehama and Shasta Counties. This work is reported under "Sacramento River and tributaries, California, from Collinsville to Shasta Dam" by the Sacramento district. The estimated Federal cost of the project, including new work and maintenance (made in 1945) is $40,850,000, exclusive of amounts expended under the previous project. In addition, local interests have contributed a total of $6,540,282.04 for levee con- struction, 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 FLOOD CONTROL--CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2437 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, 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.) Local cooperation.-The Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928, provided that local interests were to contribute one-half the cost of construction 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 mnaintain the remainder of the general flood- control project, 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 Com- mission; should hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction works, and provided further, that the bank revetment for protection of levees above Cache Slough, and the levee reconstruction recommended in the project document (Sen- ate committee print, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), should not be under- taken until the State of California, 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 undertake the operation of the movable top of Sacramento weir in accordance with the schedules established by the California Debris Commis- sion. The modification of the project authorized in the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941, relieves local interests of all future con- struction costs under the existing project, but requires them to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide (a) all needed lands, easements, and rights-of-way free of cost to the United States (b) bear the expense of necessary highway, railroad, and bridge alterations (c) hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from con- struction of the works, and (d) maintain and operate all flood- control works after completion, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. The requirements are being complied with, progressive with the work. 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 accept- 2438 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 ance. These advances have been returned to the State of Cali- fornia.. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Levees were constructed along flood channels, including reinforcement of incomplete levees, clearing brush and removing snags, and in- cidental work on roads and irrigation facilities; with total yard- ages placed in levees as follows: Along Sacramento River, 959,411 cubic yards; Feather River, including its tributaries, Bear River and Yuba River, 1,717,000 cubic yards; and Yolo Bypass, 1,240,199 cubic yards. Total yardage of this levee work was 3,916,610 cubic yards, and total cost, including preliminary surveys and prepara- tion of plans, and placing 76,408 tons of gravel, was $1,144,021.59 by contract and $163,912.55 by hired labor and Government or hired plant, a grand total of $1,307,934.14. The following work, including surveys and preparation of plans, was done by contract and by hired labor and Government plant or plant under contract for its hire and operation, in bank protec- tion and levee set-back activities on the main river, between mile 14.3 and Kellers pump (mile 160.5): 214,474 cubic yards were moved in grading banks; 2,291 squares of lumber mattress were laid; 9,902 tons of rock and 33,063 tons of cobbles and 657 tons of gravel were placed on banks and revetments; and 777,648 cubic yards of material were placed in setting back levees. During the fiscal year a total of 19,300 linear feet of bank protection was com- pleted, protective work being done at 10 locations. Total cost of the preceding activities was $545,370.64, of which the amount of $436,399.18 was by contract and $108,977.46 by hired labor. During the fiscal year, total costs and expenditures amounting to $700,000 were transferred from advanced funds to United States funds, because of repayment of that amount to the State of California. .Miscellaneous construction accomplished for the State of Cali- fornia at its expense in connection with acquisition of rights-of- way for levees cost $99,232.09. Total cost of new work was $1,952,536.87. Maintenance.-A hydraulic pipe-line dredge under contract was used to excavate 1,331,774 cubic yards from the Sacramento River flood channel near Junction Point (mile 14.5), at a cost of $268,- 256.62. Completion of acquisition of land for enlargement of spoil area at southerly end of Grand Island (near mile 15.5) cost $6,- 339.75, and completion of construction of retaining levees, spill- ways, etc., cost $1,372.85, by hired labor. Planting of grass on spoil areas cost $1,547.75 by hired labor. Total cost of mainte- nance was $277,516.97.

Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was ap- proximately 82 percent complete. The channel improvement ac- complished 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 59,170,301 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, Fre- mont 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 in 1936. Pumping plants on Sutter Bypass were completed.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2445 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT, MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1945 Commission headquarters.-Mississippi River Commission Building, Vicksburg, Miss., P. O. Box 80. Commissioners.--The commissioners during the fiscal year were Brig. Gen. M. C. Tyler, Corps of Engineers, president; Edward Flad, civil engineer; Col. Ernest Graves, United States Army, re- tired; Rear Admiral Leo 0. Colbert, Director, U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey; Albert L. Culbertson; Harry N. Pharr, civil engineer; and Col. Malcolm Elliott, Corps of Engineers. Jurisdiction.-The Mississippi River Commission, created by act of Congress approved June 28, 1879, is charged, under the direction of the Secretary of War and supervision of the Chief of Engineers, with prosecution of improvements for flood control of the Mississippi River, and of its tributaries and outlets, so far as they are affected by Mississippi River backwater, between Head of Passes, La. (mile 0), and Cape Girardeau, Mo. (mile 1,018), and with prosecution of improvements in the interest of naviga- tion between Cairo, Ill. (mile 966), and Baton Rouge, La. (mile 230). It also is charged with prosecution of certain flood- control works on the Mississippi River and on tributaries so far as they are affected by backwater, between Cape Girardeau and Rock Island, Ill. (mile 1,446) ; with control of headwater floods of the St. Francis and Yazoo Basins; protection of portions of the backwater areas near the mouths of the White, the Yazoo, and the Red Rivers, and with improvement of Bayous Rapides, Boeuf, and Cocodrie, La. Backwater limits on tributary streams are con- sidered to be located where backwater curves from the maximum Mississippi River flood intersect maximum flood flow lines of tributaries. Location and description.-The Mississippi River rises in Lake Itasca, Minn., flows in a general southerly direction for 2,350 miles, and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Its drainage area, about 1,245,000 square miles, embraces all or part of 31 States between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains and parts of 2 Canadian Provinces. Its alluvial valley, some 30,000 square miles in extent, includes former overflow areas designated as the St. Francis, White, Tensas, Atchafalaya, and Lafourche Basins west of the river and the Yazoo and Pontchartrain Basins east of the river. Observations made by the Mississippi River Commission to June 30, 1945, show approximate maximum and minimum discharges between the levees as follows: Cairo to White River 2,000,000 and 70,000 cubic feet per second; thence to Red River 2,150,000 and 90,000 cubic feet per second; thence to the Gulf of Mexico 1,500,000 and 80,000 cubic feet per second in the Mississippi River and about 650,000 and 12,000 cubic feet per second in the Atcha- falaya River. As the 1927 flood flow was not confined between the levees, maximum discharges recorded do not include the entire flow of the 1927 flood, the maximum of record below White River. Low water stages generally obtain from August to December. High water and flood stages usually occur in the spring but great 2446 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 floods such as that of 1937 have occurred as early as January in the upper reaches of the lower river. Extreme ranges in stages recorded at representative gages are about 60 feet at Cairo; 58 feet at Memphis; 58 feet at Red River Landing; and 23 feet at Carrollton. The river is nontidal above the mouth of Red River where the amplitude of the tide rarely exceeds 0.1 foot during extreme low water. ORGANIZATION Office of the president.-The President of the Mississippi River Commission is its executive officer. Two engineer officers and four civilians have been detailed as executive assistants to the president of the Commission. One of the officers is also secretary of the Commission and one of the civilians is assigned as director of the Waterways Experiment Station. For convenience in administration, field operations of the Com- mission below Cape Girardeau are divided among three engineer districts with engineer officers in charge thereof. District limits for work under the jurisdiction of the Commission are as follows: New Orleans district.-Mississippi River, Head of Passes (mile 0), to Warrenton, Miss., 425 miles; Atchafalaya Basin; south bank of Red River upstream to Boyce, La., thence along Bayou Jean de Jean to Hotwells; and Bayous Rapides, Boeuf and Cocodrie, La. Col. George H. Hudson, Corps of Engineers, district engineer. Vicksburg district.-Mississippi River from Warrenton, Miss. (upper limit of New Orleans district), to south bank of Arkansas River, Ark., on the right bank 150 miles; and to Coahoma-Bolivar County line, Mississippi, on the left bank, 190 miles; north bank of Red River to Alexandria, La. (backwater limit), and Ouachita River to vicinity of lock and dam No. 8 (backwater limit) ; south bank of Arkansas River to and including Pine Bluff, Ark.; Yazoo River and Basin, Miss. Lt. Col. R. W. Sauer, Corps of Engineers, district engineer. Memphis district.-MississippiRiver from upper limits of the Vicksburg district, to north bank of Little River Diversion' Chan- nel (mile 51 above Cairo and just below Cape Girardeau, Mo.), 440 miles, on the right bank, and to Thebes, Ill. (mile 46 above Cairo), 395 miles, on the left bank, with operations above Cairo restricted to levee work; north bank of the Arkansas River to point 3 miles upstream from Pine Bluff (backwater limit); White River to Peach Orchard Bluff, Ark. (backwater limit); St. Francis River and Basin, Mo., and Ark.; Little River Diver- sion Channel, Mo.; Ohio River, Ill. and Ky., to mouth of Cache River, Ill. District headquarters are located on Government reservation at West Memphis, Ark., opposite Memphis, Tenn. Col. Garner W. Miller, Corps of Engineers, district engineer. Jurisdiction of the Mississippi River Commission between Cape Girardeau and Rock Island is restricted to flood-control operations under section 6 of the 1928 flood-control act which provides for levee construction on the basis of Federal aid only to the extent of two-thirds the construction costs, local interests paying the other third and furnishing rights-of-way. Operations are con- MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2447 ducted by the St. Louis and Rock Island districts of the Upper Mississippi Valley Division reporting to the Commission direct on matters within the scope of the latter's jurisdiction. St. Louis district.-Mississippi River from upper limits of Memphis district, to Clemens Station, Mo., mile 302 above Cairo on the right bank, and to Hamburg Bay, Ill., mile 263 above Cairo on the left bank; Illinois River to mile 120, near Havana, Ill., and Missouri River to St. Charles, Mo. (backwater limits), for flood-control operations. Work on the Illinois River between New La Grange Lock and Dam and Havana is done by the Chi- cago engineer district. Col. L. B. Feagin, Corps of Engineers, district engineer. Rock Island district.-MississippiRiver from upper limits of St. Louis district, to Rock Island, mile 484 above Cairo. Lt. Col. J. H. Peil, Corps of Engineers, district engineer. PREVIOUS PROJECT The project outlined in a report by the Commission dated February 17, 1880, contemplated improvement of the channel to secure a least depth of 10 feet at extreme low water by contrac- tion of the low-water channel, protection of banks against caving, and control of floodwater by levees. For further details see page 1944, Annual Report for 1932, and page 1682, Annual Report for 1937. EXISTING PROJECT This provides for protection of the alluvial valley of the Missis- sippi, Head of Passes to Cape Girardeau, from floods by means of levees, floodwalls, floodways, reservoirs (in the St. Francis and Yazoo Basins), bank stabilization and channel improvements in and along the river and its tributaries and outlets insofar as af- fected by backwater of the Mississippi River and for levee work between Cape Girardeau and Rock Island. The project also pro- vides for bank protection, channel improvement, contraction works and dredging to secure a navigable channel 12 feet deep and 300 feet wide from Baton Rouge to Cairo. Improvements completed under previous project and incorporated in the project are main- tained in accordance therewith. The estimate of cost of the exist- ing project, including modifications authorized by the act approved December 22, 1944, is $864,934,000, including maintenance charges through the fiscal year 1941. The estimated cost of annual main- tenance made in 1941 is $8,500,000. Table A lists major Mississippi River improvements included in the existing project; table B lists those on tributaries and out- lets; and table C contains data pertinent to dams and reservoirs. 2448 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Recommended modifications of project.-None. Local cooperation.-Generallyrequirements of local cooperation have been met with respect to initial construction, but mainte- nance operations have not been satisfactory in all cases. Terminal facilities.-See Port and Terminal Facilities at the Ports of New Orleans and Lake Charles, La., No. 1, 1944; Trans- portation Series Report No. 2, 1929, Transportation in the Missis- sippi and Ohio Valleys. OPERATIONS AND RESULTS DURING FISCAL YEAR Commission activities.-The two hundred twenty-fourth ses- sion of the Commission was held on board the U. S. steamer Mississippi en route from Cairo to New Orleans, October 16 to 21, 1944; and the two hundred twenty-fifth session was held on board the U. S. steamer Mississippi en route from Cairo to New Orleans, May 22 to 29, 1945. On the river trips, major features of the project were inspected and public hearings were held at which representatives of local government agencies, navigation, levee, commercial, and other interests presented problems pertain- ing to flood control and navigation. At the two hundred twenty- fifth session, the Commission took action on its report on "Ouachita River and tributaries with respect to flood control and drainage on Bayou Lafourche," recommending modification of ex- isting project to incorporate therein the authorized improvement of Boeuf and Tensas Rivers and Bayou Macon and improvement of Bayou Lafourche for flood control and drainage, and on its report on "Lower Mississippi River with respect to flood control on the east bank from Vicksburg, Miss., to Big Black River," recommend- ing no modification of existing project. 2452 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, UJ. S. ARM, i945 In addition to the semiannual inspection trips, via steamer, members of the Commission inspected major flood-control and navigation improvements under jurisdiction of the Commission. The president, Mississippi River Commission, and his engineer- ing executive assistants made periodic inspections of flood-control, navigation, and related works under the existing project along the Mississippi River and tributaries in the alluvial valley from Cairo to the Gulf of Mexico. During the period of high water, March-June 1945, engineer troops of the United States Army were detailed to flood fighting on levees in the New Orleans and Memphis districts. Operations were carried out expeditiously through the combined efforts of the troops, the local authorities, and departmental personnel. This was the third year that troops of the United States Army cooperated in flood fighting and their performance was highly commendable. Surveys, gages, and observations.-(See p. 1961, Annual Re- port for 1932.) Routine hydrographic surveys of the river be- tween Head of Passes and Cairo, construction and special surveys and inspections were made as required. Gages were maintained and discharge observations made. Results thereof are presented in detail in annual pamphlets issued by the Mississippi River Commission. Alluvial valley mapping.-Publication of contoured maps of the valley (scale 1:62,500) was restricted to reproduction of quadrangles by the reproduction plant of the War Department. Field operations except for the geological survey of the valley were suspended because of war restrictions. (See p. 1802, Annual Report for 1943 for status of work.) Costs incurred for surveys, gages, and observations and for alluvial valley mapping during the fiscal year, not including cost of surveys incident and chargeable to construction features, are given in table F. Dredging.-A total of 64,118,000 cubic yards was moved from the Mississippi River channel by districts as follows: New Orleans district.- (a) Channel maintenance.-Three Government dredgers were operated in the Mississippi River at six locations between mile 298 and mile 375, moving a total of 9,174,000 cubic yards. (b) Channel improvement.-One contract dredge removed 2,145,000 cubic yards of material at Kempe Bend (mile 378-382). Vicksburg district- (a) Channel maintenance.-Three Gov- ernment dredges and 1 leased dredge were operated at 15 loca- tions from mile 433 to mile 557, moving 7,686,000 cubic yards. (b) Channel improvement.-Two Government dredges moved 3,339,000 cubic yards at mile 430 and 600,000 cubic yards at mile 540. Memphis district- (a) Channel maintenance.-Five Govern- ment dredges and 1 leased dredge were operated on 50 crossings from mile 518 to mile 958, moving a total of 25,162,000 cubic yards. (b) Channel improvement.-Two leased dredges moved 727,- 000 cubic yards at mile 610, 3,850,000 cubic yards at mile 663, and 11,435,000 cubic yards at mile 829. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2453 Project dimensions were maintained except at mile 699, where a controlling depth of 81/2 feet obtained August 7, 1944. Navi- gation aids were maintained continuously. Costs for dredging during the fiscal year are given in table F. Bank protection.-Revetment work accomplished during the fiscal year is shown, by districts, in tables D-1 to D-3. See table F for costs of the work. Levees.-Levee construction, accomplished in accordance with sections 1 and 6 of the Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928, as amended, section 9 of the act of June 15, 1936, and act of May 29, 1944 (emergency fund), is shown by districts and localities in tables E-1 to E-5. Main line levee work included enlargement of levees to 1941 grade and section (which latter provide an additional crown width of 15 feet for future construction of roads), rainwash restoration, and placement of seepage berms. In the New Orleans district, levee work also included installation of levee wavewash protection works, generally timber structures, locally known as "wooden revetment." Status of such work is given in table E-6. Costs for levee work during the fiscal year are given in table F. Floodways and outlets-New Orleans district- (a) Wax Lake Outlet and Charenton Drainage and Navigation Canal, La.-In preparation for possible opening of Morganza floodway, the west side levee of Wax Lake Outlet was continued across Bayou Teche to plug that stream temporarily, and both side levees were topped. The maximum discharge through Wax Lake Outlet was 119,300 cubic feet per second. Condition surveys were made and pay- ments for easements over 97.9 percent of the land values were completed. (b) West Atchafalaya floodway, Louisiana.-Gaps in the west basin levee and in ring levees around the towns of Simmesport, La., and Melville, La., were either completely closed or so narrowed that closure could be effected quickly, but the floodway was not used. Payments were completed for easements covering 95.7 per- cent of the land values, and maintenance of levees and structures was continued. (c) Morganza floodway, Louisiana.-High-levelcrossing for the New Orleans, Texas & Mexico Railway was completed and is in use. Trestle section was completed, and work was continued on the embankment section of crossing for U. S. Highway No. 190. Work also was continued on embankment section of high-level crossing for the Texas & Pacific Railway and State Highway No. 30. Extensive preparations were made for use of the floodway but such use was unnecessary. Payments for easements were completed for 99.9 percent of floodway land values and for 82.8 per- cent of those in upper Pointe Coupee Parish, La. (d) Bonnet Carre spillway, Louisiana.--(See pp. 2089-2091, Annual Report for 1938.) The spillway was put into operation March 23, with Carrollton gage at 18.6 and United States Weather Bureau prediction of stages in excess of 20 feet. Discharge was restricted for several days to facilitate removal of cattle from the floodway area. Bays were then opened as required until April 4 when all were open. Crest stage of 19.8 feet was reached on May 1. 2454 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Spillway discharge, as measured at the Airline Highway bridge, was 245,000 cubic feet per second on April 5, increased to 318,000 cubic feet per second on April 17, and averaged 270,800 cubic feet per second for the period of full operation. It is estimated that the Carrollton gage would have reached approximately 22.5 feet if the spillway had not been operated. Between May 10 and May 18 closure proceeded as required to maintain the Carrollton gage below 19 feet, Bonnet Carre spillway was operated from March 23 to May 18. Army engineer troops and prisoners of war were used in flood fighting. Basin improvements--New Orleansdistrict-A tchafalayaBasin, La.-Construction of the levee system was continued. Vicksburg district-Yazoo Basin, Miss.- (a) Sardis Reservoir. -(See table C.) The facility was operated, necessary repairs to the dam and appurtenant structures were made, and mosquito- control operations in the reservoir area were carried out. On July 1, 1944, about 693,000 acre-feet of water from the April 1944 flood remained in storage. Maximum water elevation in the reser- voir was 269.5 feet on April 6 and 7, 1945, when flood storage was approximately 873,000 acre-feet. Peak inflow was about 60,000 cubic feet per second on December 31, 1944. Reservoir releases, varied to accord with inflow and with channel conditions down- stream, averaged about 5,000 cubic feet per second from July 1 to September 16, 1944. Such releases ranged between 5,000 and 2,000 cubic feet per second from September 17, 1944, to October 25, 1944; were about 1,000 cubic feet per second from December 25, 1944, to January 5, 1945; averaged 3,000 cubic feet per second from Janu- ary 5 to April 20, 1945; 4,000 from April 21 to June 1, 1945; and 5,000 from June 2 to June 30, 1945, when about 462,000 acre-feet remained in the flood-control pool, which it was planned to release by September 10, 1945. Stage reductions effected by reservoir operations are given under Floods below. (b) Arkabutla Reservoir.- (See table C.) The facility was operated, necessary repairs to the dam and appurtenant structures were made, and mosquito-control operations in the reservoir area were carried out. Relocation of U. S. Highway No. 51 across the reservoir was prosecuted under contract. About 94 percent of the roadway and about 99 percent of the bridge and trestle construc- tion were completed. Contract for bridge and trestle was com- pleted July 7, 1945. The reservoir was empty on July 1, 1944. Maximum water elevation in the reservoir was 230 feet on April 4 and 5, 1945, when flood storage was approximately 294,000 acre- feet. Peak inflow was approximately 38,000 cubic feet per second on January 1, 1945. Reservoir releases, varied to accord with in- flow and channel conditions downstream, ranged between 1,000 and 5,000 cubic feet per second from December 25, 1944, to May 30, 1945. The reservoir was empty on May 31, 1945. (c) Enid Reservoir.- (See table C.) Work was continued under contract for designs, plans, and specifications for spillway and out- let structures. Final designs and contract drawings of the em- bankment and appurtenances were completed. (d) Grenada Reservoir.-(See table C.) Foundation explora- tions, geological and hydrological investigations and hydraulic MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2455 design were 90 percent complete. Preliminary designs were finished and final designs and contract drawings were initiated. (e) Channel improvement-(1) Tallahatchie River.-Mainte- nance operations comprised 10.8 miles clearing. (2) Cassidy Bayou.-Clearing and snagging were completed over 8.7 miles and 2,210,000 cubic yards of material were exca- vated for channel enlargement and realignment as new work. The project is completed except for removal of plug near upper limit of work. (3) Coldwater River.-Maintenance operations comprised 13.9 miles clearing. (4) Yalobusha River.-Maintenance operations comprised the renroval of six drift racks from the channel. (f) Levees.- (See table E-2.) Memphis district-St. FrancisBasin, Ark. and Mo.- (a) Wap- papello Reservoir.-(See table C.) The facility was maintained in operating condition and mosquito-control operations were con- tinued. Four tracts of land were acquired by condemnation. Max- imum water elevation in the reservoir was 4.3 feet above spillway crest on April 16, when flood storage was approximately 690,000 acre-feet. Peak inflows were about 89,000 cubic feet per second on April 15, and 91,000 cubic feet per second on June 9. Reservoir releases, planned to maintain a maximum flow of 10,000 cubic feet per second downstream, were started in February. Releases in cubic feet per second, restricted with a view to limiting outflow to channel capacity between existing levees downstream where project levees have not been constructed for lack of local coopera- tion with respect to rights-of-way, varied as follows: February 22 to March 3, from 1,000 to 3,000; March 4 to 10, none; March 11 to 30, 500 to 6,000; April 8 to 15, 10,000; April 16 to 18, none; April 23 to June 9, 3,000 to 10,000; June 10 to 14, none; June 15 to 30, 3,000 to 5,000. From March 31 to April 7 and from April 16 to 22 the emergency spillway functioned. Peak uncontrolled outflow was about 22,000 cubic feet per second on April 16. Approximately 452,700 acre-feet remained in the flood control pool on June 30, 1945. (b) Cross County Ditch, Cross County, Ark.-Contract for the construction of the highway bridge on Arkansas State Highway No. 42 was awarded to the Arkansas State Highway Commission during the fiscal year 1943. Construction was started during Sep- tember 1944 and was 65 percent complete at end of fiscal year. Costs for work accomplished on floodways, outlets, and basin improvements are given in table F. Waterways Experiment Station.-Duringthe fiscal year, 66 in- vestigations were under way. Status of all studies is set forth in pamphlets issued quarterly by the United States Waterways Experiment Station, for departmental use. The station is operated under a revolving fund, costs being collected from agencies served. Costs for work during the fiscal year 1945 amounted to $1,345,- 389.15, including $1,149,536.13 for work done on a reimbursable basis, the balance related to improvements under the existing project. The total cost for operation of the station to June 30, 1945, was $8,123,544.93, of which $5,228,039.71 were incurred on a 2456 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 reimbursable basis and the balance was for work in connection with the existing flood-control project for the alluvial valley of the Mississippi River. In addition, $167,299, military funds, were expended on 11 investigations by the Flexible Pavement Labora- tory. The total of such tests to June 30, 1945, was $349,232. Floods.-Moderate to heavy rains over the Ohio and Tennessee basins between February 13 and February 22; over the lower Missouri and upper Mississippi basins between March 1 and March 7; and subsequent rains over the lower Ohio, the Missouri and upper Mississippi basins caused flooding on the Mississippi River, resulting in crest stage of 53.9 feet and maximum discharge of 1,450,000 cubic feet per second at Cairo on March 11. Stage was above 52 feet from March 9 to April 7. In the Memphis-dis- trict preparations were made but use of Birds Point-New Madrid floodway was not necessary. A private levee and roadway em- bankment, serving as a levee, were crevassed in the vicinity of Dyersburg, Tenn. On White River, a major flood occurred in March and April with the stream contributing from 150,000 to 300,000 cubic feet per second to the Mississippi River flood. Stage at Clarendon did not fall below 32 feet from March 15 to April 10. Unsuccessful attempts were made to save the privately-owned White and St. Francis levees by use of engineer troops and manipulation of Wappapello Dam gates. Record stages were recorded at Newport, Ark., on White River and at Wappapello Dam on St. Francis River, where the spillway went into operation twice. In the Yazoo Basin floods occurred between December 1944 and April 1945. It is estimated that operation of Sardis and Arkabutla reservoirs reduced stages at Greenwood by about 1.5 feet. On the Ouachita River and on Red River below Fulton maximum floods of record occurred during March and April, with peak discharges of 101,000 cubic feet per second at Monroe and 233,000 cubic feet per second at Alexandria, respectively. Levees were crevassed and extensive damage was sustained throughout the basins. High stages obtained on Arkansas River during March and April dam- aged the St. L. S. W. R.R. bridge below Pine Bluff, and caving banks offered a serious threat to the north bank levee. Highest stages since 1927 prevailed on the Mississippi River in the New Orleans District from March through June, the longest period a flood of this magnitude has been carried safely between levees. Morganza floodway was not used, although extensive preparations were made for its operation. CONDITION AT END OF FISCAL YEAR Survey of the entire river was completed in 1904 and resurvey below Cairo in 1938. Contoured quadrangles, general maps of the valley, and pamphlets tabulating river stages, discharge measure- ments, etc., have been published and are available for departmental use and public distribution under prescribed regulations. Naviga- tion and flood-control improvements completed under the existing project comprise levees, bank protection works, channel improve- ments (including cut-offs), floodways, outlets, and tributary basin improvements, summarized as follows: MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2457 There are 2,523 miles of project levees, with earthwork aggre- gating about 1,154 million cubic yards, below Cape Girardeau, and 575 miles, with earthwork aggregating 76 million cubic yards, above Cape Girardeau, as listed in tables E-1 to E-4. Roads have been constructed on 67 miles of levees in the New Orleans district and on 20 miles in the Vicksburg district. Revision of levees to the 1941 standard grade and section, which provides for additional crown width for roads, involves reconstruction of roads already built on levees constructed to the 1928 standard section. In the New Orleans district about 38 miles of levees on the right bank and 10 miles on the left bank are protected against wave- wash by timber structures. Effective revetment for bank protection has been placed on about 126 miles of river bank including about 4 miles on the Arkansas and Ohio Rivers as listed in tables D-1, D-2, and D-3. Channel dimensions provided under the old project are avail- able practically at all times. During 5 to 8 months of the year, when high stages prevail, considerably greater dimensions obtain in the channel below Cairo. Below Baton Rouge there is a least depth of 35 feet and from Baton Rouge to Cairo the project chan- nel (9 by 300 feet) is maintained by dredging. Since 1928 average annual maintenance and premaintenance dredging has been 27 million cubic yards. Premaintenance dredging, generally employed in troublesome reaches, has reduced navigation diffi- culties. Channel improvements, accomplished by improvement dredging to increase the flood-carrying capacity of the river, now form part of the main river channel. These improvements, which include 16 completed cut-offs, have reduced the distance from Baton Rouge to Cairo to 737 miles. The effect of channel improvement works on carrying capacity of the river is given on page 1811, Annual Report of Chief Engineers for 1943. The condition of Atchafalaya Basin improvements, including Wax Lake outlet, Morganza and West Atchafalaya floodways, is practically unchanged from that given on pages 1884 and 1885 of Annual Report of Chief of Engineers for 1943. The floodways may be used if required to pass great floods. In the Yazoo Basin the Sardis and Arkabutla Reservoirs are complete and available for use as required. Relocation of U. S. Highway No. 51 across Arkabutla Reservoir is under construction, the embankment being 94 percent and the bridge 99 percent complete. Plans and specifications for Enid and Grenada Reser- voirs are in preparation. Work on levees, drainage structures, channel improvements, and cut-offs in the basin is in progress. The condition of St. Francis Basin improvements remains as given on page 1884 of Annual Report of Chief of Engineers for 1943, except for Cross County Ditch, excavation of which was 99.8 percent complete; construction of bridge on Arkansas State Highway No. 42, which was 65 percent complete; and acquisition of Wappapello Reservoir lands, which was about 99 percent com- plete at the end of the fiscal year. 2458 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 The waterways experiment station is very active in construct- ing and operating models and reporting results of experimental tests for proposed and authorized improvements related to civil and military projects for the Department, its divisions and dis- tricts, and other ageilcies throighout the United States and abroad. Surveys and reports prescribed under the existing project and as called for by congressional or departmental directives are made as required. Reports on tributary streams authorized pursuant to the act of January 21, 1927, when presented to the Mississippi River Commission in compliance with section 10 of the act of May 15, 1928, are considered and the conclusions and recom- mendations of the Commission thereon are submitted to the De- partment. Total costs under the existing project incurred from United States and contributed funds to June 30, 1945, were $512,359,- 584.15 for new work and maintenance (see table G-1), and $10,681,807.87 for emergency repairs. Similarly, total costs for construction and maintenance of levees under the existing project and expenditures incurred therefor by non-Federal agencies are given in table G-2. PROPOSED OPERATIONS The balance unexpended on June 30, 1945, will be applied during the fiscal year 1946 in the prosecutilon of new work and mainte- nance under the project. It is estimated that there will be no available balance from prior appropriations on June 30, 1946. Enlargement of the Mississippi River project levees above Old River in the New Orleans, Vicksburg, and Memphis districts to 1941 standard grade and cross section will be prosecuted to the extent of available funds. About 7 miles of bank revetment and 7,000 linear feet of pile and abatis dikes will be constructed. Existing flood-control structures will be maintained and operated. Improvement and maintenance dredging will be accomplished as required to maintain an efficient channel for navigation and flood control. In the New Orleans district, construction of the high- level crossing for State Highway No. 190 across the Morganza floodway between Lottie and Krotz Springs will be continued. In the Vicksburg district, levee construction and channel improve- ment in connection with Yazoo Basin headwater flood control will be continued.

BEACH EROSION AND SHORE PROTECTION BOARDS 2483 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. direction 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 organiza- tion of a board of seven members, of whom four are officers of the Corps of Engineers and three are selected with regard to their special fitness from among the State agencies cooperating with the War Department. The Board has been designated 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 States, counties, municipalities, or individuals of appropriate locations for recreational facilities; and to publish from time to time such useful data and information 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 1945 were Brig. Gen. John J. Kingman, United States Army, senior member; Col. Earl E. Gesler, United States Army; Col. John W. Stewart, United States Army, until February 17, 1945, succeeded by Col. Albert H. Burton, United States Army; and Col. Clarence Renshaw, 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 publicworks, Boston, Mass.; and Morrough P. O'Brien, dean of the college of engineering, University of California, Berkeley, Calif., remain unchanged as the civilian members of the Board. During the fiscal year 1945, the Board completed cooperative studies on Bakers Haulover Inlet, Fla.; Milwaukee County, Wis.; and the Ohio Shore of Lake Erie from Ohio-Michigan State Line to Marblehead, Ohio. At the end of the fiscal year cooperative investigations and studies were pending at the following locations: Long Island State parks, New York; Hampton Beach, N. H.; Palm Beach, Fla.; State of Ohio, North Carolina coast; Presque Isle Peninsula, Pa.; Suffolk County, N. Y.; Metropolitan District Beaches, Boston, Mass.; Cleveland, Ohio; San Francisco, Calif.; and the State of Rhode Island. 2484 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 con- tinued. 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 Engineers, September 18, 1930, to consider beach erosion and shore protection 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 improvement 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 ex- pected 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. During the fiscal year 1945, the Board completed studies on Fort Story, Va.; Absecon Inlet, N. J.; Santa Rosa Island Cut, Pensacola, Fla.; and Grays Harbor, Wash. Studies pending at the end of the fiscal year are as follows: St. Augustine Harbor, Fla.; Barnegat Inlet, N. J.; Apalachicola Bay, Fla.; Fernandina Harbor, Fla.; St. Andrews Bay, Fla.; Cape May, N. J.; and Fort Hancock, N. J. Cost and financial summary.-Expenses incident to the opera- tions of the Boards are paid from funds appropriated for "Ex- aminations, surveys, and contingencies for rivers and harbors."

By an act approved June 28, 1902, Congress appropriated the sum of $3,000 per year for the support and maintenance of the Permanent 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 congresses and of the Commission. Beginning with the fiscal year 1936, such expenses were paid by allotment from the general appropriation for the improvement and mainte- nance of river and harbor works. The object of the association is the promotion of inland and maritime navigation by means of organized congresses, and the publication of pertinent in- formation. 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 corpora- tions, libraries, 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 subscription has the privilege of representation by delegate. Life individual 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 permanent Commission with the assistance of a permanent coun- cil. The Commission is composed of delegates from the support- ing governments, 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. 4. During the fiscal year 1944 the United States was repre- sented as follows: On the American section of the permanent Commission: By Col. Spencer Cosby, United States Army, retired, chairman; Brig. Gen. 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; Maj. Gen. Glen E. Edger- ton. Corps of Engineers, United States Army; Capt. William H. Smith, Civil Engineer Corps, United States Navy; and Col. Xenophon H. Price, Corps of Engineers, United States Army. Colonel Price served as secretary 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 during the fiscal year 1945. INTEROCEANIC CANAL SURVEYS 2487 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, authorized 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 supervision of the Chief of Engineers, with the aid of such civilian engineers as the President deemed advisable. The Presi- dent appointed the Interoceanic Canal Board to assist the Chief of Engineers. The Governor of the Panama Canal made the in- vestigation 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 Nicaragua to continue the collection and compilation of hydro- logical and meteorological data pertaining to the proposed canal. During the past fiscal year the collection of these data has in- volved the operation within the ,watershed of Lake Nicaragua of a number of rainfall stations, also stations for making fog ob- servations, collection of evaporation data, recording lake levels and river stages, recording barometric pressure and humidity, and for gaging, wind velocity and temperature. 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 30, 1938, author- ized the Secretary of War to continue the gathering of hydrological data in Nicaragua under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers as recommended in House Document No. 139, Seventy-second Con- gress, first session, and such incidental expenses as may be nec- essary in connection 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, 1945, was $8,088, from appropriations made for examinations, surveys, and contingencies of rivers and harbors. It is estimated that $8,000 will be expended in continuing the operations during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1946. FEDERAL WATER POWER ACT 2489 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 develop- ments in all waters over which Congress has jurisdiction. The act further required that the work of the Commission be per- formed by and through the Departments of War, Interior, and Agriculture, and their engineering, technical, and other personnel, except as may be otherwise provided by law. By the act of June 23, 1930, entitled "An act to reorganize the Federal 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 Com- mission authorized to appoint such officers and employees as are necessary in the execution of its functions. 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 af- fecting 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 navi- gable waters, shall file a declaration of intention for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the jurisdiction of the Federal Power Commission will attach. To July 1, 1929, only work of an engineering nature had been referred to the War Department by the Commission. Since that date, in addition to the duties noted below, certain work pertaining to accounting and related matters has been as- signed to the War Department, as indicated in the following table: Number of projects on which supervision of all accounting work, includ- ing the supervision of preparation and the verification and certifica- tion 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 related work during the construction period only has been assigned and completed ------------------------------------------ 17 Special reports relating to accounting work requested and completed_ 5 2490 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Information in response to this resolution is being collected by the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors and report thereon will be submitted as soon as practicable. ACCIDENT PREVENTION 2493 ACCIDENT PREVENTION During the fiscal year 1945 a very substantial reduction in ac- cidental deaths and injuries was effected through the application of comprehensive accident prevention to all new work, operations and maintenance. In terms of specific economic return, this rep- resents a reduction of 64 percent in productive days lost due to accidents. The accident-prevention program has been correlated with recent research findings designed to improve operations with an unsatisfactory accident experience. Set forth below is the detailed accident experience for all opera- tions of the Corps of Engineers during the fiscal year 1945: ACCIDENT EXPERIENCE Type of operation Fatals Injuries Days lost Man-hours Frequency Severity Dredging-_ 8 216 58, 650 37,528, 628 5. 76 1.56 District office personnel 0 72 1,805 24, 937, 848 2. 89 .07 Levees, revetments _ 3 215 26, 442 17, 537, 445 12. 26 1. 51 Locks and dams (operation and care)_ 2 62 14, 082 9, 334, 536 6. 64 1.51 Shops and yards_ _-_ 1 63 11, 164 8, 347, 746 7. 55 1. 34 Division office personnel 0 5 70 3, 079,444 1. 62 .02- Locks and dams (construction) ------ 2 57 13, 953 2, 817, 620 20. 23 4 95 U.

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 Harbor, a line officer of the Navy, under the direc- tion of the Secretary of War. The supervisor is charged under the laws with the duties of preventing any obstructive or injuri- ous deposits in the waters under his jurisdiction and the preven- tion of any interference with safe navigation 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 Con- gress 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 Congress of June 7, 1924 (Oil Pollu- tion Act, 1924, 43 Stat. 604). Operations and results during fiscal year.-Notices to acquaint navigation interests with the laws and regulations relating to the harbor were issued with a view to obtaining cooperation in their administration; dumping grounds for stone, ashes, mud, cellar dirt, sewerage sludge, and other refuse were designated; and 3,253 permits were issued for the removal of approximately 38,- 755,146 cubic yards of material. Soundings were taken at frequent intervals over the designated dumping areas to insure that sufficient depth of waters was main- tained. Supervision was exercised by means of inspectors and patrols. Patrols 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 navigable waters of waste oil and sludge, rubbish, and waste resulting from loading operations. The amounts of material reported to have been removed were constantly checked by the patrols. Floating plant.-There has been no change in the force of patrol boats engaged in keeping up the necessary inspections dur- ing the past fiscal year: 672607-46--pt. 1, vol. 2----81 2498 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2501 ANACOSTIA PARK AND THE RECLAMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ANACOSTIA RIVER AND FLATS FROM THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER TO THE DISTRICT LINE, DISRICT OF COLUMBIA District engineer: Col. John M. Johnson, Corps of Engineers. Location.-The.Anacostia River enters the Potomac River at Washington, D. C. Previous projects.-Forthe part of the project below the Ana- costia 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 Ana- costia Bridge see Annual 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 61/3 miles, to afford a river chan- nel 15 feet deep in the section between the foot of Fifteenth Street SE., and Massachusetts Avenue, 9 feet deep thence to Benning Road. The section from the mouth upstream to the foot of Fif- teenth 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 main- tain 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 1 foot above the level of the lake. A portion of the reclaimed tract is to be set aside for develop- ment by the Agriculture Department for a national arboretum and botanical garden. A strip of water-front land on the right bank of the river between the Anacostia Bridge and the Pennsyl- vania 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 estimated 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 commercial valuation and sub- sequent adverse court decision as to United States ownership. The acts of Congress authorizing and defining the present plan of improvement are as follows: 2502 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The latest published map is found in Annual Report of Chief of Engineers, 1924, at page 1994. Local cooperation.-The funds for this project have been ap- propriated 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. Begin- ning July 1, 1924, the District of Columbia paid all required above the lump sum appropriated from United States revenues. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Construction work on the project has been deferred for the duration of the war. Supervision of the placement of 39,408 cubic yards of select ma- terials in dump fills in section F was in progress throughout the year at a cost of $5,699.69. Miscellaneous surveys were made and control bench marks were reestablished at a cost of $1,930.94. Total costs for the year were $7,630.63 and total expenditures were $7,460.51, all applied to new work. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 90 per- cent completed.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF THE WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT District Engineer: Col. John M. Johnson, Corps of Engineers. 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 filtration plants, all storage reservoirs, and other features are located in the District of Columbia. (See U. S. geological quadrangle, Washington and vicinity.) The control of the system was revested 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 con- struction 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 various Government services. A description of the system and of previous projects for con- struction and maintenance is printed at pages 2206-2208 and 2218-2220, Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers for 1930. Local cooperation.-Priorto July 1, 1880, the expenses of the Washington Aqueduct for construction, operation, and mainte- MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2505 nance were paid wholly out of the revenues of the United States. From that date to July 1, 1916, one-half of the expenses of con- struction, operation, and maintenance was paid by the United States and the other half was paid out of the general revenues of the District of Columbia. From July 1, 1916, to June 30, 1924, the expenses of construction were paid 60 percent out of the gen- eral revenues of the District of Columbia and 40 percent by the United States. From July 1, 1924, to June 30, 1927, expenses of construction of the Washington Aqueduct have been paid wholly out of the general revenues of the District of Columbia to which the United States contributed annually a lump sum. The expenses of operation and maintenance since July 1, 1916, to date have been paid wholly out of the water revenues of the District of Columbia. From July 1, 1927 to date all expenses for construction have been paid out of the water revenues of the District of Columbia. By act approved June 10, 1920, $25,000 was appropriated wholly from United States revenues to prepare, among other things, a report to secure an increased and adequate water supply for the Distiict of Columbia, and this report was the basis for the im- provements constructed from 1922 to 1927. Annually since July 1, 1916, under a percentage basis and since July 1, 1924, on a lump sum basis the United States has made con- tributions to the District of Columbia toward its support, but no part of such annual percentage or lump sum contributions has ever been allocated as revenue from the United States to the water fund, District of Columbia. Operations and results during fiscal year.-An uninterrupted and adequate supply of purified water was furnished to the Dis- trict of Columbia and to Arlington County, Va., and to Federal establishments in Arlington County. The maximum daily con- sumption was 197,480,000 gallons and average daily consumption was 147,020,000 gallons, which, based on the estimated average population of 906,000 in the District of Columbia and 135,000 in Arlington County, making the average per capita daily consump- tion for both the District of Columbia and Arlington County 141.22 gallons per day. The average daily consumption in the District of Columbia alone was 139,800,000 gallons or an average per capita consumption of 154.3 gallons per day. The average daily amount of water furnished to the municipality of Arlington County, Va., was 7,220,000 gallons, the gross cost of which was reimbursed to the United States. The average daily consumption of water in all Government buildings was 25,133,343 gallons or 17.97 percent of the total. The average turbidity of the raw water from the Potomac River was reduced from 99 parts per million to 0.49 parts per million and the bacterial content from 1642 to 4.33 per milliliter. Approximately 75,000 tubes of water from 130 points in the purification and distribution system were ex- amined for bacterium colon. The reduction in the number of tubes over the previous year was due to the use of flasks in lieu of smaller tubes utilizing greater dilutions. The number of water samples set up, however, was not changed. After sterilization the average number of bacterium colon per 100 milliliters was found to 0.20. Average alkalinity of the filtered water was 63 2506 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 parts per million; average pH value was 7.7 from Dalecarlia and 7.4 from McMillan; and average hardness was 97 parts per mil- lion from Dalecarlia and 95 parts per million from McMillan. The over-all cost of all water delivered was $41.43 per million gallons. The work on the capital outlay items and preparation of post- war contract plans and specifications authorized for the fiscal year 1945-46 are in progress, under contract or completed. The items included are listed with percentage of completion as of June 30, 1945. Installation of electrical switching and control equipment, piping and gates, discharge duct, and structural addi- tions and changes in connection with the construction of the east shaft booster pumping station, 95 percent; increase capacity of the McMillan pumping station, 52.5 percent; rehabilitation of the McMillan filters, 55 percent; repairs to the McMillan filters, 40 percent; installation of surface sand washing system in the Dalecarlia filters, 42.5 percent completed. For the preparation of postwar plans and specifications progress was as follows:. Six additional filters, Dalecarlia, 100 percent; two-story mixing and sedimentation basins, Dalecarlia, 28 percent; 30 million-gallon clear water basin, Dalecarlia, 67 percent; first half of Reno reservoir, 93 percent; 1.5 million-gallon Reno tank, 23 percent; fourth high service Reno pumping station, 21 percent; 48-inch third high service pipe line, Dalecarlia to Reno, 86 percent; first half 78-inch cross-town interconnecting main, 13 percent. A comprehensive cooperative study and preparation of the re- port on future water supply for the District of Columbia were con- tinued. Investigation of increased purification and other supply facilities was completed. Studies in connection with population, water consumption, additional filtered water storage, pumping, and transmission of water were completed. In conjunction with repre- sentatives of the Water Division of the District of Columbia a post- war construction program embracing all parts of the water system was prepared covering the needs for facilities to the year 2000. The final draft of the report was practically completed and the re- view report of the consulting engineers retained for collaboration in the development of the increased water supply was also well advanced. The total cost for the fiscal year was $1,245,956.30, distributed as follows: Cost per Total million gallons Collecting system . --- - - - - - - - - $73,827. 02 $1. 38 Purification system__ 557, 511. 10 10. 39 Pumping system------------------ 281, 918. 00 5. 25 Transmission system--- ----------------------------------------- 45, 781. 61 .85 Subtotal ------------------------------------------------ 037. 73 959, 17. 87 Planning-Future water supply------------------------------------- 4, 145. 33 Capital improvements_ - 285, 000. 79 Decrease in deferred accounts------------_- -2, 227. 55 - Total..... --------------------- .. 1,245, 956. 30 MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2507 Condition at end of fiscal year.-All reservoirs, filter plants, pumping stations, mechanical equipment and structures, were in good condition, with the exception of the roads, walks, shop and storehouse facilities, the sluice gates and gages for filter control and the filter structures at McMillan. There is a deficiency in storage of filtered water in the clear-water reservoir of the Dale- carlia filter plant, in the condition of sand in the McMillan filters, in the shore revetment to safeguard sedimentation facilities at Dalecarlia and in the Georgetown reservoir, in the pumping capacity of the McMillan pumping station, in the mixing and sedimentation facilities at Dalecarlia, in filtration capacity at Dalecarlia, in mechanical equipment for sand washing in the McMillan filters, in carrying capacity of influent to the Dalecarlia filter plant, and in filtered water storage on the second high and third high services. All studies, drawings, and estimates for the report on the future water supply were reviewed in conjunction with the District of ,Columbia Water Department. The report, except as to modifica- tions for the District of Columbia, is 97 percent completed. Preparation of the fiscal year 1945 installment of plans and specifications for the eight postwar construction items was 54 percent completed.

Existing project.--This provides for the maintenance and operation, certain Federal water mains outside the District of Columbia: For the maintenance, operation, improvement, ex- tension and protection of Federal water lines located outside the District of Columbia required to serve nearby Government estab- lishments and facilities with water from the water supply system of the District of Columbia, including interconnections with other water systems for emergency use wherever located, to be immedi- ately available and to be expended under the direction of the Sec- retary of War and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers, $12,000. There is no estimate of the cost of new work since the water system facilities were paid for by the construction projects con- cerned. The latest (1944) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance and operation is $12,000. The existing project was adopted by the act making appropria- tions for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1944, for civil functions administered by the War Department, and for other purposes, Public Law 352, Seventy-eighth Congress, chapter 275, second ses- sion, H. R. 4183, Miscellaneous Civil Works. Local cooperation.-None. Operationand results during fiscal year.-The pipe lines serving the Government establishments located in Arlington County, Va., and the pipe lines serving Andrews Field, Camp Springs, and Army Map Service, Montgomery County, Md., were maintained and leaks repaired. Two major breaks occurred during the year but repairs were effected without serious interruption of service within the areas served. The pipe lines and system total more than 16 miles of steel and cast-iron pipe lines made up of 6-, 8-, 10-, 12-, 16-, 18-, 24-, and 30-inch mains and laterals in the system. There are 45 fire hydrants, 3 water meters, and numerous section- alizing, cut-off and service valves, together with numerous valve vaults. The cost of operation and maintenance for the fiscal year was $8,427. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-All pipe lines, fire hydrants, and structures were in good condition with the exception of three sections of pipe lines which have developed leaking joints because of settling ground.

SURVEY OF NORTHERN AND NORTHWESTERN LAKES [Conducted by the U. S. Lake Survey Office, Detroit, Mich.] District engineer: Col. P. S. Reinecke, Corps of Engineers. Surveys-Great Lakes.-The existing general project, stated in detail in the Annual Report for 1907, pages 844 to 850, comprises the following work: Ascertaining and charting depths in all significant 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 triangulation and precise leveling needed to control the areas under survey, river-discharge measurements, investiga- tions 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 of all existing survey data pertaining thereto, supplemented by such additional topographic and hydro- graphic surveys as might be required for the publication of naviga- tion 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 ex- tended 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 com- pleted 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 gen- eral, 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 requirements 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. 672607-46-pt. 1, vol. 2--82 2514 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 revision of flow equations as necessary in the con- necting and outflow rivers; field determinations and office studies pertaining to effects of improvements, made or proposed, and of diversions at various localities; compilations and studies relating to rainfall, run-off, evaporation, water temperatures, ice retarda- tion, earth tilt, and other phenomena 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, observation and study of lake levels, publication of bulletins, supplements, and notices to mariners, and other con- tinuing necessary activities, is estimated at $276,000 for the fiscal year 1946. Operations and results during the year-Surveys.-Three parties were in the field on July 1, 1944, and operations were con- tinued until November. Three parties were organized in the spring of 1945. 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 Superior: Examinations for chart revision were made of all United States harbors. Lake Michigan: Soundings between 18- and 40-foot depth con- tours were made along the east shore from the Manitou Islands to Michigan City. Lake Huron: Examinations for chart revision were made of all United States harbors and of the St. Marys, Saginaw, St. Clair, and Detroit Rivers. Lake Erie: Examinations for chart revision were made of all harbors west of Cleveland. Charts.-Duringthe year ending June 30, 1945, revised editions of 45 charts were prepared and issued. The number of charts sold during the year was 23,701. The proceeds of sales, amounting to $12,431, were deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States. A total of 11,474 charts were issued for official use. Publication of Bulletin, etc.-The descriptive Bulletin pub- lishes detailed information concerning coast lines, harbors, chan- nels, menaces to navigation, and miscellaneous features pertinent to navigation, of a character supplementary to the charts but too voluminous to be incorporated thereon. The book is revised lnually and seven supplements thereto are issued during the navigation season. Copies are sold to the public and issued to Government agencies. Supplements Nos. 3 to 7 to Bulletin No. 53 were issued between July and November, 1944. Bulletin No. 54 was prepared during the winter and the printed edition was received from the Govern- MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2515 ment Printing Office in the spring. Supplements Nos. 1 and 2 to the latter were prepared and printed locally in May and June 1945. In addition to the above publications, mimeographed notices of the monthly mean stages of the Great Lakes have been sent to newspapers, vessel interests, and Government agencies to which the information is of concern. Investigation of lake levels.-To afford a continuing record of the varying elevations of the water surfaces of the Great Lakes and their connecting and outflow rivers, 20 self-registering gages and 6 staff gages are being maintained at regular stations. A new determination of bench mark elevations at the harbors on Lake Michigan was made. Measurements of the flows of the St. Clair River and the Detroit River and of the several channels in the lower Detroit River were made. Studies have been made relating to the hydraulic problems of the Great Lakes system and to the effects upon lake levels of improvements for navigation.

The total expenditures during the year, after deducting receipts from reimbursements and sales, were $199,682.13. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The present project for sur- veys 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. Lake Survey charts are on sale at the United States Lake Suy- vey Office in Detroit, at the United States Engineer Office in Buffalo, and at the Canal Office in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Sample sets are on file at the United States Engineer Offices in Duluth, Milwaukee, Chicago, Albany, and New York City, and at the office of the Chief of Engineers in Washington, for reference. 2516 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS,U. .5. ARMY, 1945 From 1882 to June 30, 1945,, a total sum of $259,304.60 was derived from the sale of charts and deposited in the United' States Treasury. In all, 1,336,609 charts have been sold and issued for service. . It: is impracticable to determine! separately the costs for new work and for maintenance since the adoption of the existing project. The approximate combined cost, found by deducting expenditures of $3,973,897.31 under previousp projects from the total cost of permanent work, is $5,858,741.39. The total expendi- tures under the existing project up to June 30, 1945, amount to $6,052,772.98.

INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY WATERS THE INTERNATIONAL ST. CROIX RIVER BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.-The Board was organized in pur- suance to conditions in the orders of the International Joint Com- mission approving the maintenance and operation of the dam built by the St. Croix Water Power Co. and the Sprague Falls Manu- facturing 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 entitled. The Board is also charged with the supervision of the operation 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 2518 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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 daim, insofar as is necessary to ensure the ob- servance of the provisions of this order, be under the supervision of the Inter- national St. Croix River Board of Control. Members of the Board.-The membership of the Board for the fiscal year 1945 was as follows: Mr. Victor Meek, Controller of the Dominion Water and Power Bureau, served as Canadian mem- ber. Lt. Col. H. P. Dunbar, Corps of Engineers, served as United States member until Sept. 21, 1944, when he was succeeded by Col. Homer B. Pettit, Corps of Engineers, who is the present mem- ber. Operations during the fiscal year.-Supervision was maintained and inspections made to ensure that the regulations of the Inter- national Joint Commission were carried out. Proposed operations.-Only such correspondence and inspec- tions as may be necessary to carry out the regulations of the In- ternational Joint Commission. THE INTERNATIONAL LAKE CHAMPLAIN BOARD OF CONTROL Constitutioiand duties.-The Board was organized pursuant to the provisions of the orders, dated June 10, 1937, of the Interna- tional Joint Commission, approving the construction and opera- tion 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 com- pliance 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 1945 were Mr. Victor Meek, Controller, Dominion Water and Power Bureau, for Canada, and Col. E. W. Garbisch, 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 in- spections as may be necessary to carry out the regulations of the International Joint Commission will be performed. NIAGARA CONTROL BOARD Constitution and duties.-The Niagara Control Board was con- stituted 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 MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2519 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 Ex- ecutive Report No. 8, Seventy-seventh Congress, first session, authorized June 12, 1941, for defense purposes, additional diver- sion 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 November 28, 1941, additional diversions of 7,500 cubic feet per second for the United States, and 6,000 cubic feet per second for Canada. 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 representa- tive was Mr. Norman Marr, Chief Hydraulic Engineer, Dominion Water and Power Bureau, Ottawa, and the United States repre- sentative was Lt. Col. Norman J. Riebe, Corps of Engineers. In letter to the Secretary of State dated February 26, 1944, the Sec- retary of War designated the district engineer, Buffalo, N. Y., as ex officio United States member of the International Niagara Board of Control. Lt. Col. Norman J. Riebe has been district engineer since January 3, 1944. 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 reports, submitted in form prescribed by the Board, show- ing for each hour the units in operation, the power output of each station, and quantities 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 assure that all provisions of article V were complied with. The new DeCew Falls Hydro-Electric Power Development was placed in operation October 15, 1943. Reports of daily diversions from the Niagara River by the DeCew plant beginning September 29, 1943, and continuing since that date have been received by the Board. Joint inspections of the DeCew plant were begun on February 9, 1944, and have continued at biweekly intervals since that date. 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 16, 1943, to December 16, 1943, and May 10, 1944, to June 30, 1944. On November 4, 1940, additional diversions by Canada were be- gun under the agreement between the Secretary of State and the 2520 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 Canadian Minister. On June 13, 1941, and November 28, 1941, additional diversions by Canada and the United States were begun under the authorization 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 preser- vation 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 Inter- national Niagara Board submitted its final report to the two Gov- ernments,' with recommendations in regard to remedial works, additional diversions, etc. This report was printed as Senate Document No. 128, Seventy-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 supplementary 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 supple- mentary report confirmed the conclusions and recommendations made in the final report. This was the last investigation under- taken by th'e Special International Niagara Board. INTERNATIONAL MASSENA BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.-An order of the International Joint Commission 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 mainte- nance of the weir and, among other things, provided for a board of engineers to pass upon and control the new and old works in- volved. 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; Lt. Col. Norman J. Riebe, Corps of Engineers, for the United States. In letter to the Secretary of State dated February 26, 1944, the Secretary of War designated the district engineer, Buffalo, N. Y., as ex officio United States member of the International Massena Board of Control. Lt. Col. Norman J. Riebe has been district engineer since January 3, 1944. 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 powerhouse perform- ance from day to day. The weir was inspected by the district engineer April 24, 1945. MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS , 2521 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. Norman Marr, for Canada, and Col. Allison Miller, Corps of En- gineers, for the United States. Operations during the fiscal year.-The Board kept in touch during the year with conditions pertaining to the diversion, through representatives 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 and of the International Prairie Portage Board of En- gineers for the fiscal year were Mr. I. R. Strome, engineer, Dominion Water and Power Bureau, for Canada, and Col. Schenk H. Griffin, Corps of Engineers, for the United States. LAKE OF THE WOODS The convention between the United States and Great Britain proclaimed July 17, 1925, provides for the regulation of the level of the 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 main- tenance of a Canadian Lake of the Woods Control Board to regu- late and control the outflow of the waters of the lake, and for the .establishment and maintenance of an International Lake of the Woods Control Board, composed of two engineers, one represent- ing 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. Operationsduring the fiscal year.-Supervision was maintained and inspections were made to ensure that the provisions of the convention were carried out. 2522 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1945 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' deter- mine 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 Engineers was formed by the International Joint Commission for the purpose of furnishing it with technical advice regarding the suitability of the dam struc- ture at Prairie Portage, Lake County, Minnesota. After approval of the plans by the War Department and the International Joint Commission, the Board has been retained to advise the Commis- sion further regarding progress of construction and regarding 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.
