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 2,350 miles and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The portion inclu'ded in this report embraces the 195-mile section known as the middle Mississippi, between the tributary Ohio and Missouri Rivers, about 980 to 1,175 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 980 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 dimensions; 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 construction of a lateral canal at an estimated first cost to the United States of approximately $10,290,000, with annual main- tenance and operation cost of $70,000, subject to such modification as the Chief of Engineers may find necessary when the project is under- taken; and to authorize the relocation of the river channel and recla- mation 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS--ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, DISTRICT 1343 channel required by the civic development be deferred until completion of the lateral canal in the interest of navigation and that the river diversion work connected with such civic development be under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers in order to insure that the interests of interstate and foreign commerce be properly protected; and further provided that local interests hold and save the United States free fron any claims for damages that might be incurred due to the construction, maintenance, or operation of such civic development' or any part thereof (IH. Doc. No. 231, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $84,207,000, with $1,370,000 for annual maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents I. Project for regulating works adopted in 1881.

See House Document No. 669 (76th Cong., 3d sess.) for report of Chief of Engineers dated February 27, 1940, containing a general plan for improvement of the Mississippi River between Coon Rapids Dam and the mouth of the Ohio River for purposes of navigation, power development, the control of floods, and the needs of irrigation. Terminal facilities.-Most of the water terminal and transfer facili- ties. of the district are described in volumes 1 and 4 of the four-volume report of the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, entitled, 1344 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 "Survey of Terminals and Landings on the Inland Waterways of the United States."

Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Construction works were carried on by contract and hired labor with Government plant through- out the year with river stages suitable for construction 9 months of the year. Regulating works were maintained and project dimensions of channels were secured by dredging.. The district's standard speci- fications for construction work were used.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, DISTRICT 1345 New work.-Three dikes, totaling 735 feet in length, were built by hired labor with Government plant, at a cost of $48,246.59. A total of 381,751 cubic yards of material was handled by a United States hydraulic dredge in preparing three localities for new regulating works at a cost of $41,267.37. Thirty dikes, totaling 17,905 feet in length, were built under contract at a cost of $863,122.67. Three revet- xnents, totaling 3,225 feet in length, consisting of 3,181 squares of mattress and 1,805 squares of paving, were built under contract at a cost of $239,371.70. In addition to complete work there was under construction, by contract, six dikes to total about 2,400 linear feet. The costs incurred on the improvement at Chain of Rocks were as follows: Design of bridge by contract, $22,037.80, and by hired labor, advance planning, $283,531.35; engineering designs and studies, $40,- 060.51; abstracts of title to land, $509.91; and administrative expense, $8,828.45. The total cost of new work was $1,546,976.35, from regular funds. Maintenance.-Dikes and revetments were repaired at a cost of $490,408.94. 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 27 shoals developed, of which 22 were dredged once, 1 was dredged twice, and 2 were dredged 3 times. There were 3,210,617 cubic yards of sand and gravel removed by these dredges from the channel through 27 bars; 33,531 cubic yards of material were removed in outside-the-channel dredging at a cost of $18,005.33. The channels dredged had a combined length of 16.3 miles, an average width of 280 feet, and an average gain in depth of 6.8 feet. The total cost of maintenance dredging was $296,818.20. Hydrographic surveys were made covering approximately 110 miles of river, costing $37,276.45. Aids to navigation were installed at a cost of $44,421.68. Other miscellaneous costs were: Snagging, $138.51; cooperative stream gaging, $7,385.14; discharge observations at miscellaneous localities, $1,604.41; stream flow forecasting, $3,- 575.65; rock removal, $1,518.61; gages, $11,372.84; establishment of third order triangulation points, $743.09; releasing grounded vessels, $1,446.78; and safeguarding structures, $7,148.63, all charged to main- tenance. The total cost of all maintenance was $903,858.93. The expenditures were $2,553,928.39 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work under this project (incluid- ing recently authorized Chain of Rocks improvement) is about 46 percent complete. The quantities required to complete the project are estimated at 180 dikes, 164,000 linear feet, 85 revetments, 86,000 linear feet, and the canal, lock, levees, etc., at Chain of Rocks as recom- mended 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 generally been maintained throughout the navigation season. The navigation 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 1346 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 1945 was 13.25 feet, St. Louis gage. The mean stage of the river for the fiscal year 1946 was 10.42 feet.

EAST CAPE GIRARDEAU AND CLEAR CREEK DRAINAGE DISTRICT, ILLINOIS Location.-This project is in the north end of Alexander County, Ill., on the left bank of Mississippi River between river miles 46 and 57 above the Ohio River. The district includes the bottom lands between the river on the west and south, the old channel of Clear Creek on the north, and the Illinois Central Railroad on the east. Existing project.--This provides for raising and enlarging the entire levee system consisting of 10 miles of river-front levee and 0.9 mile of back levee, all of which was previously constructed by the United States, and the construction of appurtenant works consisting of gravity drainage structures, surfacing of access roads on the levee crown, and altering railroads at one levee crossing. This project when completed will not in itself afford complete protection to this district; but in combination with and upon completion of authorized work in the Miller Pond, the North Alexander, the Clear Creek, and the Preston drainage and levee districts, protection will have been pro- vided to this and the other districts named against a flood of about 50-year frequency. The estimated total construction cost revised in 1946, including $207,000 of 1936 funds used for temporary levee repair, resulting from the 1943 flood, is $1,261,000. The project was author- ized by the Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936. Local cooperation.-See page 5. Assurance of local cooperation approved by the county court of Alexander County, Ill., was furnished and approved by the Secretary of War on July 31, 1940. Compliance with the requirements for local cooperation for the proposed work of constructing the levee to the grade revised in 1944 has not as yet been requested. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No work was done on the project. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-Work under the existing project is about 39.8 percent complete. The total costs and expenditures to June 30, 1946, were $502,046.72 for new work. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance at the end of the fiscal year will be applied to preparation of construction plans and specifications for raising and enlarging existing river-front levee, by hired labor, $6,000. No work is proposed for fiscal year 1948. It is expected that, with the proposed expenditures, the project will be about 40.3 percent complete.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN THE MISSOURI RIVER AND MINNE- APOLIS, MINN. (ROCK ISLAND DISTRICT) For report on this improvement see page 1385. 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 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, revised in 1946, is $264,000 annually. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Existing project adopted ------------------------ H. Ex. Doc.

Existing project.-The major tributaries of The Sny are McCraney, Hadley, Kiser, Six Mile, and Bay Creeks. Minor tributaries include Fall, Pigeon, Horton, and Dutch Creeks. The plan of improvement provides for the following features: (a) On Fall Creek between the bluffs and the present Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, to set back the levee on the right bank 200 feet, straighten the remaining levees, and clean the channel. (b) To route Pigeon Creek by an improved leveed channel through a retarding and desilting reservoir adjacent to The Sny and covering approximately 1.5 square miles. (c) To divert McCraney, Hadley, and Kiser Creeks to the Mis- sissippi River. McCraney Creek leveed diversion chahnel would leave the existing stream bed above the Wabash Railroad bridge and con- tinue south to join Hadley Creek above the present Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy Railroad. Hadley Creek diversion channel would extend from State Highway 96 to its junction with McCraney Creek. The combined flow of the two creeks would be carried 5,500 feet in an improved channel to the junction with Kiser Creek diversion channel. Kiser Creek leveed diversion channel would leave the existing stream near New Canton and extend west to join Hadley Creek in the vicinity of The Sny. From this junction a new leveed channel would extend to the Mississippi River at mile 296.5 above Cairo. (d) To divert Horton and Dutch Creeks to the Mississippi River. The leveed Horton Creek Channel would be improved from a point approximately 1,500 feet upstream from State Highway 96 to its junction with Dutch Creek. Dutch Creek would be improved and straightened from a point 2,000 feet upstream from State Highway 96 to its junction with Horton Creek. From the junction of the two di- version channels, a leveed channel would extend to the Mississippi River at mile 288.3 above Cairo. (e) To relocate the existing channel of Six Mile Creek. from the State Highway 96 bridge to the Alton Railroad bridge. From the railroad bridge the existing channel would be modified and form a junction with the diversion channel for Bay Creek. A new leveed di- version channel would be provided for Bay Creek to its junction with Six Mile Creek diversion channel. From the junction a new leveed channel would extend to the Mississippi River one-quarter mile below lock and darn No. 24. (f) Construction of a closing levee to eliminate Mississippi River backwater from the lower reaches of the bottom lands. It would ex- tend from State Highway 96 on the right bank of Wildcat Hollow to Bay Creek thence along the right bank of the latter to mile 5.8, thence along a section line to close with the existing Mississippi River levee. (g) Improvement of several minor channels in the bottom lands. (h) Construction of appurtenant works including two pumping stations to remove the flow from The Sny. FLOOD CONTROL-ROCK ISLAND, ILL., DISTRICT 1415 Federal cost for construction of the project (revised 1946) is esti- mated at $6,477,000.

For further details see page 1888 of the Annual Report for 1915, and page 1098 of the Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the reconstruction of the five original reservoir dams, viz, Winnibigoshish, Leech Lake, Pokegama, Sandy Lake, and Pine River, and the construction of Gull Lake Reservoir. The estimated cost revised in 1928, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects, was $895,000. The approved estimated cost of operation and maintenance of the reservoirs, made in 1946, is $35,000 annually. The above dams are of solid concrete construction, Poke- gama 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 dams, and surveys to determine the extent of lands over- flowed by the reservoirs.

Terinal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The reservoirs were operated as required and the necessary repairs made to the appurte- nant structures. Maintenance work during the year included partial repairs to a timber retaining wall above Leech Lake Dam, the repair of one sluice gate at Sandy Lake Dam, the installation of a new fur- nace in the dwelling at Pokegama Dam and the partial redecorating of the interior of the dwellings at Winnibigoshish and Gull Lake Dams. The precipitation in the reservoir area in the calendar year 1945 was about 1 inch above normal and except in two small areas fell in quite uniformly small daily amounts. This is true also of the first 6 months of the calendar year 1946. As a consequence there have been no unusual operations of the reservoirs and very few complaints on their operations have been received. In March and April during the snow-melt run-off period and in June, following heavy rains in the Aitkin, Minn., area, Pokegama and Sandy Reservoirs were operated to prevent flooding at Aitkin where the stage reached peaks of 11.1 on March 26, 11 on April 10, and 10.7 on June 12, 1946. Stages in excess of 12 feet result in considerable damage. During the year excess of 12 feet inflow of about 1,350,000 acre-feet into the reservoirs and about 1,300,000 acre-feet were discharged resulting in a net gain in storage of about 50,000 acre-feet.

MINNESOTA RIVER, MINN. Location.-This river rises in Big Stone Lake, Minn. and S. Dak., and flows southeasterly about 224 miles to Mankato, Minn., thence northeasterly about 106 miles to join the Mississippi River opposite St. Paul, Minn. (For general location, see U. S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of August 11, 1888, and July 13, 1892. For further details, see page 1890 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1105 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for open-channel improvement from the Mississippi River to Shakopee (25.6 miles). The object to be accomplished by this improvement is to obtain a channel with 4 feet of water from the Mississippi River to Shakopee, which will accommodate vessels of 3-foot draft. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1892, was $10,000, exclu- sive 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.-None required under the existing project. 1440 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 contained in section 4 of the River and Harbor Act approved March 4, 1915, authorized acceptance of a total of $139,670.91 as local contribution to defray costs of dredging in excess of the authorized 4-foot project depth. Terminal facilities.-At Port Cargill, mile 13.1, Cargill, Inc., owns and operates a launching ways, a dock 650 feet in length with ware- house adjacent, with additional mooring space 1,300 feet in length. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preliminary surveys were carried on by hired labor to determine amount of snagging required. Snagging operations included removal of 756 snags by hired labor with Government plant in the section of the river between its mouth and mile 13.2 near Savage, Minn. Costs for the year were $10,600.72 for maintenance. Expenditures were $11,137.02. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1931. Additional channel dredging (see "Local coopera- tion"), completed in July 1943, provides: A channel with minimum depth of 9 feet and a width of 100 feet from the mouth to Port Car- gill, mile 13.1, except that the 9-foot depth is restricted to a width of 74 feet at the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad bridge, mile 1.6; and a launching basin at Port Cargill near Savage, Minn., with depths up to 20 feet. Navigation was practicable from Port Cargill, mile 13.1, to Shakopee for drafts not in excess of 3 feet. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1946, were $82,707.09, being $12,730.69 for new work and $69,976.40 for maintenance. Ex- penditures were $83,243.39. 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 Har- bor Act of March 4, 1915. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, plus accounts receivable, a total of $5,559.90, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys by hired labor_---------- $500. 00 Snagging by Government.plant and hired labor (June 1947)- 5, 000. 00 Unallocated .---------------------------------------------- 59. 90 Total maintenance-----------------------------5, 559. 90 The additional sum of $2,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys by hired labor_-_----------- $300 Channel dredging by Government plant and hired labor (August 1947)_ 2, 200 Total maintenance---------------------------------------2, 500 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1946 _ $130, 273. 48 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946------------------ -------- . 69, 976. 40 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1946----------- 200, 249. 88 RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST.

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 boundary between Wisconsin and Minnesota. It flows southwesterly and then southerly into the Mississippi River at Prescott, Wis., 41.7 miles below the Northern Pacific Railroad bridge, Minneapolis, Minn. The por- tion included in this improvement extends from the mouth to Taylors Falls, a distance of 52.3 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota, scale 1: 500,000, for general location.) Existing project.-This provides for the maintenance of a channel, 9 feet in depth and of suitable width from the mouth to Stillwater, 24.5 miles, created by the improvement of the upper Mississippi River; a channel 3 feet deep at mean low water, between Stillwater and Tay- lors Falls (27.8 miles); and improvement of the harbor and water front at Stillwater. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1927, was $150,400. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance for that portion of the project between the mouth and .Stillwater is $10,000. The latest authorization (1939) for maintenance work on the stretch between Stillwater and Taylors Falls is limited to an expenditure of not to exceed $5,000 per year. 1442 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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.

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, and a terminal for the receipt of petroleum products. There is also a piling and timnber trestle wharf on the right bank, of which 276 feet is dock and 96 feet approach. At other points along the river, landing may be made on the banks. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A total of 351,831 cubic yards of maintenance channel dredging was accomplished including 9,711 cubic yards at mile 6.5 and 342,120 cubic yards at Stillwater, Minn., all by hired labor. Preliminary surveys for proposed main- tenance channel dredging were carried on by hired labor. The costs for the year were $34,642.67 for maintenance. The expenditures were $34,693.32. 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 minimum draft from Stillwater to Taylors Falls is about 1 foot at extreme low water; from mouth to Stillwater, 9 feet. The total costs to June 30, 1946, were $280,948.95, being $150,409.50 for new work and $130,539.45 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $280,999.60.

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 Minneapolis. The portion of the stream included in this improvement extends from the mouth to a point 1.4 miles upstream. (See U. S. Geological sur- vey map of Wisconsin, scale 1: 500,000 for general location.) Existing project.-This provides for a chanrfel depth of 9 feet below the normal elevation of pool No. 8, Mississippi River, substantially from bank to bank and extending from the mouth to a point 1.4 miles upstream. The estimated cost of new work revised in 1946 is $77,600. 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 re- quired to furnish suitable spoil disposal areas for subsequent main- tenance as required. 1444 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Terminal facilities.-The Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. owns and oper- ates 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 latter consists of a timber trestle 300 feet in length with plank deck, designed for truck and crawler crane operation. 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 about 87 percent complete. Channel dredging completed provides 9-foot depth for width of about 300 feet throughout the full length of the project except for contraction to 100 feet at the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad bridge, mile 1. Work remaining to com- plete the project consists of removal of obstructions at various points outside the present dredged area to clear the channel to full project width. The total costs and expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1946, were $67,584.96 for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, $5,000, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys by hired labor_ -------- $500 Dredging channel between mouth and mile 1.4 by Government plant and hired labor (June 1947)___ ____ _----_ ------------- 4, 500 Total maintenance ------------------------------------- 5, 000 The additional sum of $2,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys by hired labor---_ ------------ $300 Channel dredging by Government plant and hired labor(August 1947). 2, 200 Total maintenance---- ------------------------------ ----- 2, 500 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1946_____ ___________ $67, 584. 96 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946_________ Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1946------------ 67, 584. 96 Net total expenditures_ ____- ____________________--- --- 67, 584. 96 Unexpended balance June 30, 1946 ---------------------------- 5, 000. 00 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1946-------------- 72, 584. 96 Fiscal year ending June 30 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 Cost of new work--------------- $131.67 -------------- --- - ------------------ Cost of maintenance ... ......... ..... ... .... ... ... -_ ----------- --- ----------- -_--- Total expended...... ....... 14, 668. 70 ------------ ......

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 headwaters 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.) E isting pro ect.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction 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 concrete spill- way 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 to 50 feet, and a 6.5-foot square inside dimension concrete conduit inder the dam, with a 4-foot square inside dimension concrete con- trol 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 spill- way crest will be used to provide a minimum flow of 5 second-feet to meet the water-conservation needs. Benefits of an intangible nature which would result include a more adequate supply of water for fire FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1449 protection; alleviation of danger of epidemics to people and livestock; extensive recreational benefits; and improvement in the general wel- fare and social security of the people residing near the reservoir site and in the river basin below the dam. The estimated cost (1946) to the United States for new work is $280,750. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $5,000 for operating and care of the dam.

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 north- easterly approximately 100 miles to join the Pembina River near the eastern boundary of North Dakota. (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 40 feet above the stream bed and a total length of 2,090 feet, including spill- way section; the spillway section composed of steel pile cells and grouted stone, with 180-foot wide crest at an elevation 13.5 feet below dam crest, and a sluiceway decreasing in bottom width from 180 to 50 feet; and a 36-inch diameter corrugated 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 (1946) to the United States for new work is $413,600. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $5,000 for operating and care of the dam.

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 just above 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 Clear- water River in its general westerly course from its source near Ebro, Minn., to its junction with thes 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 37.8 miles of the channel of the Red Lake River so as to provide a bottom width of 60 feet with the bottom excavated to a 3-foot V-shaped section 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 constructed at the outlet of lower Red Lake by the Indian Service, so as to provide for the installation of three hand-operated lift gates, one stop-log bay; raising 6.9 miles of highway at west end of lower Red Lake to prevent overtopping; and rectification, clearing, and enlargement of 37.5 miles of the channel of the Clearwater River between river mile 41.5 near Plummer, Minn., and mile 79.1 upstream from the mouth of Ruffy Brook, so as to pro- vide a bottom width of 60 feet throughout the lower 28.5 miles and 721584--47-pt. 1, vol. 2--8 1452 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1940 50 feet throughout the remaining 9 miles. Bottom will be excavated to a 3-foot V-shaped section. The channel improvements will elimi- nate 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 sec- ond through the structure when the lake is at normal elevation (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 (1946) to the United States for new work is $2,316,000. - The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $6,500 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 conditions 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 replacement of all bridges improved by the United States; maintain the improved river channels; control the contamination by rural areas and villages with- out sewer systems of Red Lake, Clearwater, and Thief Rivers; require that municipalities which discharge sewage into Red Lake, Clear- water, 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 of 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 down- stream from lower Red Lake, Clearwater Lake, or Mud Lake unless authorized by the War Department. Although local interests have not been formally notified in writing of the above requirements, statements have been received indicating that all such requirements will be complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preparation of detailed plans including preliminary investigations and design were carried on by hired labor. Land line surveys were run by hired-labor to provide local interests with correct descriptions of land they will be required to furnish. Costs for the year were $83,920.56 for new work. Expenditures were $85,150.48. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Detailed plans are 98 percent com- plete. No construction work has been started. The costs to June 30, 1946, were $89,816.72.

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 superimposed 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. In addition, local interests have requested that a water supply outlet through the dam be con- structed. The estimated cost (1946) to the United States for new work is $616,- 300. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $5,000 for operating and care of the dam. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (S. Doc.

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 lo- cation see U. S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing pro ject.--The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction 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, in- cluding a concrete spillway-control section consisting of four sub- mersible 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 ef- fective drainage area of 983 square miles, thereby providing a sub- stantial degree of flood control, and insuring pollution abatement benefits and adequate water supply for the section of the Sheyenne River below the dam and the section 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 (1946) to the United States for new work is $1,271,400. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $12,000, 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. Local cooperation.--The improvement is subject to the condition that no funds shall be expended on construction of the project until local interests have contributed $208,000 toward the first cost of the reservoir and until responsible local agencies have given assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will (a) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; (b) bear the expense of all necessary alterations of utilities, roads, highways, and bridges; (c) construct, operate, and maintain the Fargo diversion dam and diversion ditch improvements in ac- FLOOD CONTROL--ST.

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 Breckenbridge, 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 includes construction of a dam near White Rock, S. Dak., at the north end of Lake Traverse, a structure at the Reservation Highway crossing for control of the upper section of the Re'servoir, 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 embank- ment approximately 5,000 feet long at the south end of Lake Traverse for the protection of Browns Valley, Minn., constitutes the flood-con- trol feature of the project. The structure at Reservation Highway crossing consists of a stone-paved dike spillway with superimposed stop log spans with total length of approximately 113 feet between FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1459 steel sheet pile abutment walls behind which compacted fill connects with the existing highway, and is operated to maintain 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 ex- pected 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 (1946) 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.-None. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Constructionof a culvert on South Dakota Highway No. 10 and repair of breach in Browns Valley dike were accomplished by contract. Acquisition of land dur- ing the year involved obtaining flowage easements on 803.22 acres. Work pertaining to a claim by the State of Minnesota has culminated in an agreement which is awaiting execution by the State. A separate agreement with the State of Minnesota has been drawn providing for further raising of State Highway No. 28 to avoid flood damages. This agreement awaits final execution by the interested parties. Costs for theyear for new work were $1,518.68 for design, $5,392.30 for land acquisition, and $117.85 for minor construction on shop and ware- house building, all by hired labor, and $19,532.11 for construction by contract. The White Rock Dam and Reservation control structure were op- erated as required and the necessary repairs made thereto and to appurtenant works at a cost of $6,407.82, including $783 for real estate management. The project operation during the year was in accordance with the adopted plan. Only 2,600 acre-feet of flood waters were in storage at the beginning of the fiscal year. This storage was depleted by July 24, 1945, mostly by evaporation and partly by an outflow of 5 second-feet or less which was maintained until November 30, 1945. Evaporation during the summer was greater than the inflow causing the two pools to gradually drop below conservation pool levels. On February 28, 1946, White Rock pool and Reservation pool were about 2.7 feet and 0.8 foot below their respective conservation levels, corresponding to a total loss of 13,000 acre-feet of conservation storage. Run-off from the spring thaw was easily stored by using only 31,100 acre-feet of the 137,000 acre-feet capacity available for flood control. It is believed that the crest of the flood on the Red River of the North at Wahpeton, N. Dak., 6 feet on March 23, 1946, was reduced at least 1 foot as the result of the operation of the project. Beginning April 4, practically all the flood storage was released by May 6, 1946: Thereafter the dis-. charge was maintained at 10 second-feet or less to the end of the fiscal year at which time the pools were substantially at their respective conservation levels. 1460 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, '1946 Total costs for the year were $32,968.76, being $26,560.94 for new work and $6,407.82 for operating and care.' The expenditures were $33,380.35. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project as a whole was 98 percent complete. A contract for raising and reconstructing State Highways Nos. 27 and 28 near Browns Valley dike, on which work has been suspended, is 90 percent complete. Reconstruction of a shop and warehouse building is substantially complete. Disposition of a claim by the State of Minnesota is pending. An agreement with the State of Minnesota to further raise Highway No. 28 is awaiting execu- tion by the interested parties, this being the only work remaining to be initiated to complete the project. Fee title to 1,278.48 acres and easements on 5,944.15 acres have been acquired which has completed the land and flowage acquisition except for obtaining easements on 8.2 acres of land. The White Rock Dam and the Reservation control structure were in operation and in good condition and the earth dams, dikes, channels, and appurtenances were in fair condition. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1946, were $1,343,075.12, being $1,294,748.04 for new work and $48,327.08 for operating and care. The expenditures were $1,344,145.26.

LAO 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 location see United States Geological Survey map of Minnesota. Existing project.-Construction of the Lac qui Parle Reservoir was initiated as a Works Progress Administration project sponsored by the State of Minnesota, prior to its authorization as a Federal project by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The pres- ent plan of improvement provides for completion and maintenance by the War Department of the structures on Marsh and Lac qui Parle 1462 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Lakes and the Chippewa River diversion works, substantially com- pleted 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 Wat- son, 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 highway across the Minnesota River, consists of a control structure of 12 bridge spans incorporating sluice gates and fixed spillway weirs, 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 112-foot concrete spillway, and two sections of dredged earth fill totaling approximately 8,500 feet in length, in- cluding a 90-foot grouted riprap overflow spillway. The Chippewa River Flood Diversion Dam consists of a concrete fixed crest struc- ture supporting a highway bridge, and a section- of earth fill through which is provided a conduit for discharge of low water flow. The diversion channel for passing floodwaters of the Chippewa River into the Lac qui Parle Reservoir is 3,500 feet in length cut through a natural ridge separating the river and an arm of the lake and includes a six-span concrete reversible weir allowing a reverse flow from 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 pro- tect the adjacent 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 provide for increasing the bank-full capacity of the channel to about 4,000 second- feet. The project, with reservoir capacity of about 94,500 acre-feet 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 1946, is $360,900 for construction and $485,900 for lands and damages. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $9,000. Local cooperation.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Investigation of fee titles and flowage easements and negotiations in connection with com- pleting an agreement with the State of Minnesota relative to land acquisition as well as negotiations with the State relative to liability for certain maintenance and damages were carried on by hired labor. FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1463 Total costs for the year were $11,666.42 for new work. Expenditures were $10,648.07. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project as a whole was approximately 40 percent complete. Contracts have been com- .pleted, all in the year 1942 as follows: Lac qui Parle Dam improve- ments ; Minnesota River channel improvements; 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 are nearing completion. A satisfactory plan has been worked out to handle the matter of maintenance of State-aid roads and for assumption of liability for damage to structures due to highway use. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1946, were $348,723.68, being $342,272.92 for new work and $6,450.76 for maintenance. The expenditures were $348,649.60.

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.) Existing project.-The Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, authorized a flood-retention reservoir and channel enlargement down- stream for the protection of the city of Decorah. The Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941, Public, No. 228, Seventy-seventh FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1465 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 bf railroad tracks and State Highway No. 9, and necessary alterations to bridges and protec- tion to existing structures in the vicinity. The diversion is to be accomplished by a dam across Dry Run at a point about 1 mile south- west of Decorah and a diversion channel 3,200 feet in length from that point through high ground to the upper Iowa River on the north.. The project will provide complete protection to residential, industrial, and commercial areas totaling about 260 acres within the city limits of Decorah against the maximum probable flood on Dry Run and the upper Iowa River. Floods creating serious damages have occurred about once every 11 years. The estimated Federal cost (1946) is $991,400, and the cost to local interests for lands and damages is $44,600. Local cooperation.--Localinterests are required to furnish all lands, easements, and rights-of-way without cost to the United States, hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction of the works, and provide maintenance and operation of the project subject to the regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War for such maintenance and operation. Local interests have not been formally advised in writing of the above requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Design, including pre- liminary surveys, and land-line surveys were carried on by hired labor. The costs for the year were $17,286.64 for new work, and the expenditures were $18,358.92. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Design, including preliminary surveys and explorations, is approximately 97 percent complete, and will be completed following approval of plans and specifications. Land-line surveys have been run to determine lands required to be furnished. No construction has been started. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1946, were $91,304.67 for new work. Expenditures were $90,106.74.

MISSOURI RIVER, KANSAS CITY TO THE MOUTH Location.-The Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri River, which flows south- easterly 2,464.41 miles across or along seven States to the Mississippi River, 17 miles above St. Louis. For description, see page 1149, An- nual Report for 1932. Practically the entire length of the section from Kansas City to the mouth is contained within the State of Missouri. Previous projects.-The first appropriation for improvement by regulation was made in the River and Harbor Act of June 18, 1878. The original plan for comprehensive improvement was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882, modified by River and Harbor Acts of July 5, 1884, September 19, 1890, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1891 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1153 of Anual 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 water- way, cut-offs to eliminate long bends, closing of minor channels, re- moval 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 fluctuations of stage are 16 and 38 feet, respectively. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $98,700,000, 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 1 July 25, 1912 Project adopted for securing a permanent navi- H. Doc.

IThe 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1471 Local cooperation.-The project provides that cooperation from benefited localities may be required, in case a comprehensive plan, is adopted by Congress, for an apportionment of expense, where any improvement confers special benefit; and receipt of contributions from private parties, to be expended with Government funds upon authorized works where such would be in the interest of navigation, is authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1915. The Secretary of War has approved the general principle of cooperative construction on the Missouri River below Kansas City on the basis that 25 percent of the cost of any special installation shall be paid by the United States and 75 percent by the local interests. The total amount contributed by local interests in cooperation with the United States from 1918 to June 30, 1946, was $675,662.80, of which $8,647.11 was returned to contributors. Work done by private interests for the benefit of the public during the fiscal year 1946 was as follows: Wayne City Bend.-The Wabash Railroad Co. placed additional bank protection work along the left bank in Wayne City Bend, in the vicinity of Missouri River mile 361.5. (1932 mileage), at a cost during the fiscal year of $5,021.95. 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. The total cost to June 30, 1946, for this work was $28,642.81. DeWitt Bend.-The Wabash Railroad Co. repaired an existing revetment on the left bank in DeWitt Bend, in the vicinity of Missouri River mile 257.5 (1932 mileage), by placing riprap on the damaged areas at a cost to June 30, 1946, of $4,311.62. Terminal facilities.-Facilitiesfor transferring grain, petroleum products, and other commodities are maintained at various locations on this section of the river. These facilities are listed in the following table: Location 2 Description of facility 1 above mouth Nearest town (1932 mileage) Oil-loading facilities_-------------------------------------------- 384. 6 Kansas City, Kans.

Additional terminals, however, are contemplated for con- struction at other points as soon as conditions warrant. Operations and results during fiscal year-News work.-This work consisted of the construction, by contract, of one dike totaling 306 linear feet and nine lengths of revetment totaling 13,227 linear feet, at a total cost of $564,196.27, and construction, by hired labor, of the following: Construction of two dikes totaling 946 linear feet and eight lengths of revetment totaling 15,525 linear feet, including the place- ment of 93,161 cubic yards of fill and excavation of 293,076 cubic yards of material in connection with revetment construction by U. S. dredges Black and Mitchell and by dragline, at a total cost of $529,- 394.53; removal of 1,804 linear feet of existing structures including removal of 8,000 cubic yards of material by U. S. dredge Campbell, at a total cost of $10,357.67; point removals at three localities totaling 683,912 cubic yards, by U. S. dredges Campbell, Lewis, and Mitchell and dragline, at a total cost of $69,291.10; excavation of 885,200 cubic yards of material in the construction of a pilot canal, at a total cost of $97,644.64; surveys, appraisals, acquisition proceedings, and related work in connection with the acquisition of 108 acres for rights-of-way for channel changes, and the accomplishment of engineering, design, and surveys, at a total cost of $32,753.29. The total cost of new work was $1,303,637.50. In addition to completed works, there are in process of construction, by contract, four dikes to total approximately 1,983 linear feet, and 13 lengths of revetment, to total approximately 21,328 linear feet; and, by hired labor, two lengths of revetment to total approximately 400 linear feet, removal of approximately 6,776 linear feet of existing structures, and completion of a small quantity of work on the excava- tion of a pilot canal and removal of points to improve bank alinement. Maintenance.-This work consisted of the repair, by contract, of 2,480 linear feet of dikes and 1,534 linear feet of revetment, at a total cost of $130,161.39; the accomplishment, by hired labor, of the follow- ing: Removal of 14,520,992 cubic yards of material from 88 localities, by U. S. dredges Black, Clark, Lewis and Mitchell, at a total cost of $582,993.54; the construction of 30 linear feet of protection of accre- tion and 1,016 linear feet of bank protection, at a total cost of $5,433.50, repair of 19,662 linear feet of dikes (including 397 linear feet of rock-filled dikes), and 83,382 linear feet of revetment, at a total cost of $1,429,501.38; removal of 31 snags at a cost of $2,102.65; engineering, design, and surveys, including channel surveys, in con- nection with maintenance work, at a total cost of $214,735.28; marking channel for navigation at a cost of $168,753.28; and stream gaging for special studies and working data at a cost of $6,642.58. The total cost of all maintenance work was.$2,540,323.60. The total costs for the fiscal year were as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular funds........------ ----. -------------------- $1, 303, 637.50 $2, 540,323.60 $3,843,961. 10 RIVERS AND HARBORS'-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1473 The total expenditures were $3,964,897.52. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 79 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year, based on the present approved estimate of cost. The physical extent of work accomplished was 1,750,894 linear feet of dikes, 1,052,745 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 spill- ways, excavation of 5,430,934 cubic yards of material in the construc- tion of pilot canals, removal of 76,927.5 linear feet of existing struc- tures, dredge fills totaling 1,546,493 cubic yards, removal of 432,664 cubic yards of rock, removal of 81,382,936 cubic yards of material by dredging, and removal of 3,511,482 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 poor condition. The destructive floods experienced in recent years have taken a heavy toll on these river-improvement structures. How- ever, the structures have maintained control of the river channel in that the floodwaters were prevented from changing the course of the river as was often the case prior to the installation 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 covers approximately the period from March 15 to November 30. The controlling depth throughout this section of the river on June 30, 1946, was generally in excess of 9 feet, due to the high river stage, at which time there was an average discharge at Kansas City, Mo., of 85,000 cubic feet per second. The practical draft at ordinary stages of the river is 6 feet. This section of the river has been used for commercial navigation since June 1935. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1946, was as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular funds ....-----------.......------------------..- 1 $70, 339, 585. 85 $27,174, 127. 74 $97, 513, 713. 59 Emergency relief funds_- ----.------------- ---- 1,375, 243.49 133, 756.51 1, 509,000.00 Public works funds_--------- _--------------- ---- 6, 468,1490. 38 -------------- 6, 468, 490. 38 Total-. _ ... ----.-- -------------------- 1 78, 183, 319. 72 27, 307, 884. 25 105, 491, 203. 97 I Excludes $650,000 advance for plant.

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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1477 the project is 164.7 miles 2 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 (immedi- ately below Warsaw). Ordinary and extreme fluctuations of stage on the Osage River below Bagnell Dam are 15 and 41 feet and on the Lake of the Ozarks, formed by Bagnell Dam, are 10 and 30 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1928, is $250,000, ex- clusive of the lock and dam, for open-channel work as far as the mouth of the Niangua River (107 miles above the mouth of the Osage River). The latest (1936) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $18,500, including $6,000 for operating and eare 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.

ARMY, 1946 Terminal facilities. -On the Lake of the Ozarks, formed by Bag- nell Dam, there are several marine ways and drydocks operated by private interests which are capable of handling any boats now operat- ing or likely to be operated on the lake. There also exist a few docks which are open to the public, and numerous private docks and storage facilities. These facilities adequately fulfill existing needs. On the Osage River below Bagnell Dam there are several small boat docks maintained by private interests which adequately fulfill existing needs. Operations and results during fiscal year.-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 $5,653.17, and a total expenditure of $5,364.30. There were 47 lockages for 47 small craft which passed through the lock. Qondition at end of fiscal year.-The reconstruction and repair of structures and equipment damaged or destroyed by the flood of May 1943, which swept down the Osage River Valley in volumes exceeding all records of prior years and inundated the reservation, have been completed. The floods on the Osage River in the springs of 1944 and 1945 caused some additional damage and destruction. Necessary repairs occasioned by the latter floods have been completed. Except for the construction of two wing dams, one in 1925 and one in 1926, the open-channel work was completed sufficiently in 1919 to provide reasonable accommodations for the commerce actually using the channel. Upon the completion of Bagnell Dam in 1931, navi- gable depths in excess of the project depth were made available at all times on the portion of the project upstream from mile 75.4. Naviga- tion activities on the latter section have increased considerably with the development of the Lake of the Ozarks as a recreational area. The controlling depth from the mouth of the river to mile 21, or about 14 miles above the lock and dam, is 3 feet, and drafts of 2 feet over this section are practicable. The controlling depth from mile 21 to Bagnell Dam is 2 feet and drafts in excess of 18 inches are not practicable. On the Lake of the Ozarks, depths of 10 feet or more are available at ordinary stages of the lake from Bagnell Dam to the mouth of Cole Camp Creek, about 80 miles above the dam, decreasing to approximately 5 feet in the vicinity of Warsaw, Mo. The topog- raphy adjacent to the lake is such as to form various coves in the lake, of which many have dependable 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, 1946, was $1,279,- 378.36 from regular funds, of which $658,075.71 was for new work, $543,847.22 was for maintenance, and $77,455.43 was for operation and care of the lock and dam. The total expenditures were $1,279,- 388.59 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 appro- priation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $6,159.34 and accounts receivable of $10.23, will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1479 Maintenance (July 1, 1946, to June 30, 1947) (operation and care): Operation of lock and dam ------------------------------ $5, 095. 57 Ordinary maintenance and repairs (less rental)_ __------- 1, 074. 00 Total maintenance---_ ___-__--------------------_____ 6, 169. 57 The additional sum of $7,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, as follows: Maintenance (July 1, 1947, to June 30, 1948) (operation and care): Operation of lock and dam--------------_ ------------------ $6, 825 Ordinary maintenance and repair (less rental) 675 Total maintenance---------------------------- ----------- 7, 500 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1946____________________________ $658, 075. 71 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946________________________ 811, 863. 75 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1946_ - 1, 469, 939. 46 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1946__ ___________________ ___ 10. 23 Gross total costs to June 30, 1946-------------_ ---- 1, 469, 949. 69 Net total expenditures__ _________________________ 1, 469, 949. 69 Unexpended balance June 30, 1946-- -_ 6, 159. 34 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1946 1, 476, 109.'03 Fiscal year ending June 30 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 Cost of new work ..-------------- --- Cost of maintenance ..... ..------------- $5, 708. 86 $6, 751.41 $12, 961.99 $5, 398.66 $5, 653. 17 Total expended---.. ......---------------- 5, 881.85 6, 797. 20 13, 236.01 5, 314.72 5, 364. 30 Allotted.... -----......-----.............. 7, 575. 00 7,000.00 7, 850. 00 9, 200. 00 6, 000. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1945________________-___________ $5, 523.

KANSAS CITYS ON MISSOURI AND KANSAS RIVERS, MO. AND KANS. Location.-KansasCitys 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. Emisting project.-The general plan of improvement contemplates 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 improvement, Kansas River; bridge and approach alterations, Kansas River; channel improvement, Missouri River; floodway improvement, Missouri River; Birming- ham; Blue Valley Industrial; and Liberty Bend Cut-off. The exist- ing project was authorized in the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, and was modified and extended in the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944, in accordance with the recommendation of the Chief of Engineers in House Document 342, Seventy-eighth Congress, first session. The estimated cost, revised in 1946, is $30,000,000 of which $26,500,000 is the Federal cost and $3,500,000 is for lands and damages to be borne by local interests. This project will be operated as part of the comprehensive plan for the Missouri River Basin and it is contemplated 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 Argen- tine district are of sufficient height to protect the district from the design flood. Between miles 8.2 and 6.9 ' near the center of the dis- trict, however, there is an indication of sand boils during high river stages, and it is proposed to install necessary facilities to control this situation. Armorurdale unit.-The earth levee along the left bank of the Kansas River from mile 6.7 to mile 2.81 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 1.31 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 1.11; for con- struction of a concrete flood wall 440 feet in length on top of an existing levee from mile 1.1 to mile 1.01; for raising of 1,850 feet of existing levee from mile 1.0 to 0.71; for construction of 2,150 feet of 1 Above mouth of Kansas River. 1486 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 new concrete flood wall between mile 0.7 and mile 0.31; 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 Ar- mour-Swift-Burlington bridge over the Missouri River, mile 376.9, the existing and proposed protection for the district extends upstream along the right bank of the Missouri River to the mouth of the Kan- sas River, mile 378.8,2 a distance of 1.9 miles, and thence upstream along the right bank of the Kansas River to mile 3.4,' 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, 1,98.1 feet of concrete flood walls, and 32,100 feet of bank-protection works, extending along the right bank of the Missouri River from a point immediately above the Kansas City, Kans., water and light plant (mile 385.3' downstream to the mouth of the Kansas River, thence along the left bank of the Kansas River to the vicinity of the inter- city viaduct (mile 0.31); 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 be 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 ap- proximately 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 water- works, a distance of about 1.6 miles. The total length of the pro- posed system is 9 miles. East Bottoms unit.-Beginning at the south end of the Armour- Swift-Burlington bridge over the Missouri River, mile 376.9,2 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 2.49 '); excavation of a foreshore bar along the right bank of the Kansas River, extending from the Kansas City Southern railroad bridge (mile 0.84') to the mouth; and removal of major obstructions from the bed of the main channel of the Kansas River between the Argentine bridge (mile 5.131) and the mouth. Bridge and approach alterations, Kansas River unit.-In order to permit the free passage of drift during flood periods, it is contem- 1 Above mouth of Kansas River. 2 Above mouth of Missouri River. FLOOD CONTROL-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1487 plated 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 perma- nent raising of five highway bridges and the Kansas City Terminal railway bridge, and provision of facilities for the temporary 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 374.2 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 ap- proach fills to the Armour-Swift-Burlington and Hannibal bridges by approach spans is provided in the plans and is necessitated 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 contem- plated 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 and mile 363 and of removing brush from the area riverward of the pro- posed East Bottoms levee along the right bank between mile 373.5 and mile 367.8.2 Birmingham unit.-In order to provide protection to the Birming- ham district, the various upstream sections of the Birmingham levee, 13,530 feet in length, will be raised by the addition of rolled fill. Blue Valley industrial unit.-'The work contemplated under this unit consists of the construction of levees and flood walls at approx- imately present Big Blue River mile 5.4 to provide flood protection for a section of the Big Blue River Valley. Liberty Bend cut-off.-The contemplated work under this unit would consist of the construction of a main cut-off channel beginning at mile 363.7 and extending downstream to mile 358.52; a second cut-off channel from mile 358.5 to mile 3572; and the construction of a new highway bridge where the main cut-off channel intersects United States Highway No. 71 (bypass) which at present crosses the Missouri River north of the proposed cut-off at mile 361.2 Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. The necessary assurances of cooperation by local interests with respect to the Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, were approved by the Secretary of War as follows: Argentine; Armourdale; bridge and approach alterations, Kansas River; Central Industrial (Kansas section); channel improvement, Kansas River; and Fairfax-Jersey Creek units, approved July 6, 1938. Central Industrial (Missouri section) and East Bottoms units, approved March 22, 1941. North Kansas City unit, approved June 17 and June 20, 1941.

This project is one unit of the general comprehensive plan for flood control and other purposes in the Missouri River Basin authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938 (Flood FLOOD CONTROL-KKAISAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1499 Control Committee Document No. 1, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), as modified by the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. No. 842, 76th Cong., 2d sess.), and expanded by the Flood Control Act approved December 22,1944 (H. Doc. No. 475, and S. Docs. Nos. 191 and 247, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost, revised in 1946, is $35,000,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Work in connection with the preparation of detailed plans was accomplished, by hired labor, at a total cost during the fiscal year of $24,007.45, and a total expendi- ture of $29,926.06. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The preparation of detailed plans was in progress. 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 improvements for flood control on the Big and Little Blue Rivers would be advisable. Total costs and expenditures to June 30, 1946, for new work are $167,181.53. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance on June 30, 1946, $31,818.47, will be applied to covering costs incurred during the fiscal year 1947 for general office and field work in connection with maintain- ing contact with local interests and computation of data therefor, until such time as conditions will permit resumption of work on plans for construction of the project. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948.

S. ARMY, 1946 14. TOPEKA, KANSAS RIVER, KANS. Location.-This project is located on the right and left banks of the Kansas River at Topeka, Kans. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the rais- ing and extending of existing levees and the construction of new levees and flood walls, consisting of the following features: 7,200 feet of earth levee, 2,016 feet of concrete flood wall, and 6,350 feet of bank- protection works, along the right bank of the Kansas River, extending from the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad bridge over Ward Creek to high ground upstream from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad bridge; 1,662 feet of flood wall and 943 feet of levee around the municipal waterworks; about 5,120 feet of bank-protection works along the left bank of the Kansas River; 23,175 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 Atchi- son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad shops) and the municipal water- works, against a flood equivalent to that of 1903. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22; 1936 (H. Doc. No: 195, 73d Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost of con- struction, revised in 1946, is $1,185,000 and the estimated cost of lands and damages, $131,000. Local cooperation.--See page 5 for requirements. The conditions of local cooperation have been fully complied with except for the North Topeka unit. The city of Topeka has furnished certified copies of a court order dismissing the litigation that resulted in the curtailment of construc- tion of the North Topeka unit of the project in February 1940 after a suit was brought against the city of Topeka and others to enjoin con- struction of the North Topeka flood-protection works. Acquisition proceedings with respect to rights-of-way for the North Topeka unit were essentially completed by local interests prior to curtailment of the project. The city of Topeka has contributed to the United States a net sum of $7,659.31 to defray the cost of incidental features of construction at the city waterworks, desired by the city but not re- quired for adequate flood protection. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was approxi- mately 62 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The work accomplished consists of the removal of objectionable material and placing of 174,569 cubic yards of earth fill in an earth levee; construc- tion of 2,016 linear feet of concrete flood wall, 6,421.4 linear feet of bank paving, 2,600 linear feet of waterworks protection, three protec- tion enclosures at the waterworks, one floodgate, nine sewer-outlet extensions, and appurtenant features; and seeding of levees. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of the construction of the North Topeka unit. Commence- ment of this work was postponed indefinitely in February 1940 after a suit was brought against the city of Topeka and others to enjoin construction of the North Topeka flood-protection works. The city of Topeka has furnished evidence that the litigation has been settled FLOOD CONTROL--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1501 and has requested that construction to complete the project be resumed at an early date. The total cost and expenditures (exclusive of $7,659.31 of con- tributed funds but inclusive of $8,208.62 undistributed costs) of the existing project (all new work) at the end of the fiscal year were $738,169.82 ($472,169.82 from regular funds and $266,000 from Emer- gency Relief funds). Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $1,830.18 at the end of the fiscal year will be applied to the cost of reviewing the plans for completion of construction of this project. No additional funds can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1948.

MISSOURI RIVER, KANSAS CITY TO SIOUX CITY Location.-The Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri River, which flows south- easterly 2,464.4 miles across or along seven States to the Mississippi River, 17 miles above St. Louis. The river is the boundary between the States of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. For description, see page 1149, Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects.-Under the River and Harbor Act of August 14, 1876, the first regulation works were constructed at St. Joseph and Nebraska City, but a project for systematic river improvement was not adopted until August 2,1882, modified by the River and Har- bor 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 water- way, cut-offs to eliminate long bends, closing of minor channels, re- moval of snags and dredging as required. Length of section under improvement (upper end of Quindaro Bend to Sioux City) is 376.3 miles. The ordinary fluctuation is about 14 feet and the extreme fluctuation about 38 feet. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $119,500,000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The estimated cost of annual maintenance is $2,500,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorixed Documents 1 Jan. 21,1927 Appropriation of $12,000,000 authorized for the H. Doc.

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 high- ways 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 corrugated-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 high- ways 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 terminal, 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. 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.

(upper end of Quindaro Bend), and Rule, Nebr., is approxi- mately 80 percent complete; between Rule and Omaha, Nebr., it is approximately 90 percent complete; and between Omaha, Nebr., and Sioux City, Iowa, it is approximately 53 percent complete. The entire project was approximately 72 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 moderate stages of the river and with some dredging during the low-water periods, a channel with a minimum RIVERS AND HARBORS---OMAHA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1517 depth of 6 feet and a minimum width of 200-feet is available through- out this section. The controlling depth throughout this section of the river at the end of the fiscal year, was generally in excess of 9 feet due to the high river stage. The practical draft at ordinary stages of the river is 6 feet. This section of the river has been used for commercial navigation since May 1939. The work to be done in order to complete the existing project consists chiefly of the con- struction of additional dikes and revetment. Rulo to Omaha, Nebr.-Commercial navigation has existed in this section since May 1939. The channel was practically completed 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 unprotected 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. Work was started at several sites during the fiscal year with a view to recapturing the alinement control. There now exists depths up to 5/2 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 923,196 linear feet of revetment for permanently fixing the banks, 2,125,215 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, construc- tion of 48,237 linear feet of asphalt revetment, effecting three channel cut-offs and removal of 70,197,464 cubic yards of material dredged from the channel to obtain project depth and width.

RIVERS AND HARBORS---OMAHA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1521 2. MISSOURI RIVER, SIOUX CITY, IOWA, TO FORT BENTON, MONT. Location.-See page 1514. Through this ' section the river flows across the States of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, form- ing the northeastern boundary of Nebraska. Previous projects.-Projects were adopted and modified by river and harbor acts as follows: August 14, 1876, above the mouth of the Yellowstone; June 18, 1878, Sioux City; March 3, 1879, Vermilion; and August 2, 1882, Sioux City to Fort Benton. Modifications of September 19, 1890, and August 18, 1894, extended the improvement to Great Falls, then to Stubbs Ferry, Mont. (For further details see p. 1108 of Annual Report for 1927, p. 1894 of Annual Report for 1915, and p. 1184 of Annual Report for 1938.) 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 snag- ging and maintenance of structures. The length of section included in the projects is 1,440.4 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). Termninal facilities.-The facilities are considered adequate for ex- isting commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance work was accomplished during the year at a cost of $3.56. The expenditures during the fiscal year were $93.23. 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 practi- cable 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. 1522 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 The cost of new work under the existing project to June 30, 1946, was $516,484.77, and the cost of maintenance was $425,683.78, a total of $942,168.55. The expenditures were $942,161.55. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $2,780.03 at the end of the fiscal year will be applied to snagging and maintenance operations where required. No work is proposed during the fiscal year 1948.

BIG SIOUX RIVER, S. DAK. AND IOWA Location.-This project is located on the Big Sioux River, at its mouth, near Sioux City, Iowa. Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a harbor at the mouth of the Big Sioux River by widening and deepening the existing channel and construction of levees to protect the harbor. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946 (H. Doc. 561, 79th Congress, 2d sess.). The estimated cost of construction is $325,420, with annual maintenance of $23,500; and the estimate of cost to be borne by local interests is $3,550 for lands and rights-of-way. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-No work has been initiated under this project. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been initiated. Proposedoperations.--No operations are proposed during fiscal year 1947. The amount of $325,420 can be profitably expended for con- struction of the project during fiscal year 1948.

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 Monument, Colo., in El Paso County, flows generally north, and joins the South Platte River within the city limits of Denver. (See U. S. Geological Survey map, Parker, Colo., quadrangle, scale 1: 31,680.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provided for the con- struction of a reservoir on Cherry Creek at the site of the old Castle- wood 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 eliminate 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 Castlewood 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 develop- ment for multiple-purpose use includes 10,000 acre-feet of dead storage for silting, 85,000 acre-feet for conservation and other uses, and sur- charge storage capacity for flood-control purposes. 1577 1578 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 estimated cost of the initial project for flood control only, revised in 1946, is $18,050,000 for con- struction and $750,000 for lands and damages, a total of $18,800,000. The additional cost of the ultimate multiple-purpose project, revised in 1945, is $1,570,000 for construction. The project will be operated as a part of the comprehensive plan for the Missouri River Basin. The comprehensive plan for the improvement of Cherry Creek and tributaries, Colorado, for flood control and other purposes in accord- ance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers was authorized by flood control acts as follows: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 18,1941 The initiation and partial accomplishment of the H.

Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preparationof the con- tract plans and specifications for the major features of the project was completed. Preliminary negotiations toward acquisition of lands needed for first year construction and for relocations of highway and utilities affected by the construction were initiated. Redesign of the outlet works was determined to be necessary to adequately protect the rights of the downstream water users. The total cost during the fiscal year was $39,324.80, all for new work; expenditures were $40,831.59. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Contract plans and specifications for the minor features of the project. are about 10 percent complete. Preliminary studies for redesign of the outlet works have been made. Construction of the project has not been started. The total cost to. June 30, 1946, was $365,421.92, all for new work; expenditures were $367,746.99. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $2,862,953.01, plus accounts receivable, $206.62, a total of $2,863,159.63, will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, as follows: Accounts payable to June 30, 1946 ____________________ -_____ $15. 00 New work: Acquisition of lands_---------------------------------_ 240, 000. 00 Construction of cut-off-------------- - -- 1, 590, 000. 00 Redesign of outlet works______________ __________________ 85, 000. 00 Relocations by agreement_________________________ 185, 000. 00 Contract plans and specifications_____ ________________ 35, 144. 63 Initiation of construction of outlet works under continuing contract--- -_ ------------------ 728, 000. 00 Total for all work----- - -- _ _-_---- .- .-- _ 2, 863, 159. 63 FLOOD CONTROL-DENVER, COLO., DISTRICT 1579 The additional sum of $6,000,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 as follows: New work: Initiation of construction of embankment ------------------ $3, 795, 000 Outlet works construction_-------------------------- 1, 162, 000 Construction of spillway canal-------------------- ------- 728, 000 Continue relocations ---------------------------------- 315, 000 Total for all work_---------------------------__ 6, 000,000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1946___________________-___ $365, 421.92 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946_ Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1946 -------- 365, 421. 92 Undistributed costs, June 30, 1946_ - - - - - 2, 133. 45 Net total cost to June 30, 1946 ------------------ _______ 367, 555. 37 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1946 --------------------- 206. 62 Gross total costs to June 30, 1946___________________ 367, 761.99 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1946_ _-__ 15. 00 Net total expenditures________________________--_ 367, 746. 99 Unexpended balance June 30, 1946__------------------- _ 2, 862, 953. 01 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1946-- _ 3, 230, 700. 00 Fiscal year ending June 30 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 Cost of new work - ----- $116, 194. 50 $117, 535. 19 $92, 367. 43 $39, 324. 80 Cost of maintenance ...- - - Total expended __________--_______ ____ 115, 860. 63 119, 944. 09 91, 110. 68 40, 831. 59 Allotted.____________....... - -.. __---------- 185, 000. 00 80, 000. 00 97, 200. 00 2, 868, 500. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1945 _ ----------- $35, 284. 60 Amount allotted during fiscal year - _ 2, 868, 500. 00 Amount to be accounted for - 2, 903, 784. 60 Gross amount expended________________________ $44, 319. 97 Less reimbursements collected------------------ 3, 488. 38 40, 831. 59 Balance unexpended June 30, 1946 2, 862, 953. 01 Outstanding liabilities, June 30, 1946_ 7, 983. 42 Balance available June 30, 1946 2, 854, 969. 59 Accounts receivable June 30, 1946- 206. 62 Unobligated balance available June 30, 1946 _ 2, 855, 176. 21 Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for completion of existing project 1 _________- -__ 15, 569, 300. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, for new work' ---------------------------- 6, 000, 000. 00 1Exclusive of available funds. 721584-47--pt. 1, vol. 2- 16 1580 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Location.--Morrison is located on Bear Creek, which is a small -tributary of the South Platte River, about 10 miles above the mouth .of the creek, in Jefferson County, near Denver, Colo., at the junction of Mount Vernon Creek with Bear Creek. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the pro- tection of the town of Morrison against flood flows on Bear Creek and Mount Vernon Creek of 22,000 cubic feet per second and 4,500 cubic feet per second, respectively, by clearing and improving both channels in and immediately adjacent to Morrison. The channel improvement consists of straightening and widening both channels, constructing riprap revetment along Bear Creek and constructing concrete flood walls along Mount Vernon Creek. The estimated Federal cost for construction, revised in 1946, is $275,000, and the estimated local cost, revised in 1946, is $5,000 for lands and damages. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. No. 356, 78th Cong., 1st :sess. which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. In addition to the usual requirements for local cooperation as pro- vided by law, local interests are required to establish and enforce flood channel limits and regulations satisfactory to the Secretary of War. Local interests have expressed a willingness to provide the necessary cooperation. Formal assurances have not been requested. Proposed operations.-Authority has been granted to prosecute detailed planning studies and initiate preparations of construction plans and specifications during fiscal year 1947, at cost of $25,000.

S. ARMY, 1946 1. CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS ON THE OHIO RIVER Location.-The Ohio River is formed by the junction of the Alle- gheny and Monongahela Rivers at Pittsburgh, Pa., and flows in a general southwesterly direction for a distance of 981 miles to join the Mississippi River near Cairo, Ill. For description of the river see page 1227, Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects.-The first lock and dam on the Ohio River was provided for by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1879. The con- struction of dams was provided for by river and harbor acts, as fol- lows: Dam No. 6, September 19, 1890; dams Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 5, June 3, 1896; Nos. 13 and 18, March 3, 1899; Nos. 8, 11, 19, and-37, June 13, 1902; No. 26, March 2, 1907. For further details see page 1907 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1233 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the improvement of the entire river by the construction of locks and dams to provide a channel depth of 9 feet and for the widening of the Louisville and Portland Canal at Louisville, Ky. The project provides for a lock with usable dimensions of 110 by 600 feet at each dam and in addition an auxil- iary lock 56 by 360 feet at Emswort.h, Dashields, Montgomery, and dam 41, and 110 by 360 feet at Gallipolis. Dashields is a fixed dam while Emsworth, Montgomery Island, and Gallipolis are fixed dams with movable crests. The remainder of the 46 dams are of the mov- able type, with navigable pass varying in width from 600 to 1,248 feet. In addition to the navigable pass, the movable type dams are also pro- vided with one or more regulating wiers. 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 1946, 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 $155,900,000, 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-OHIO RIVER LOCKS AND DAMS 1585, 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 ldwer end. The act also granted discretionary authority to the Secretary of War to make such modifica- tions in the project as appeared advisable. July 18, 1918 Elimination of locks and dams in the lower river H. Doc. No. 1695, 64th Gong., 2d sess.. where the project depth of 9 feet could be satis- factorily maintained by open channel work. Secretary of War authorized to substitute fixed dams for movable dams wherever, in his opinion, they may be desirable. Under the authority granted in the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910, the Louisville and Portland Canal has been widened to 200 feet ; locks and dams Nos. 40 and 42 have been eliminated; locks and dams Nos. 1 and 2 replaced by the Emsworth locks and dam; lock and dam No. 3 replaced by the Dashields locks and dam; and locks and dams: Nos. 4, 5, and 6 replaced by the Montgomery Island locks and dam.. Locks and dams Nos. 24, 25, and 26 were replaced by Gallipolis locks, and dam which was authorized by the act of August 30, 1935, and constructed under the project for improving lower Kanawha River.

OPEN-CHANNEL WORK, OHIO RIVER Open-channel work on the Ohio River is in charge of the district engineer in whose district the work is located. For information as to the limits of the four districts on the Ohio River, as well as the district engineers in charge thereof, see page 1583. 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. 1592 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Emisting project.-Priorto the completion of the canalization proj- ect, no project depth had been fixed by Congress under the project for open-channel work, but in order to properly aid packet and barge navigation it was found necessary to secure a low-water channel having a minimum depth of from 4 to 6 feet, and a width, depending upon the difficulty of running the channel, of from 400 to 600 feet; also to permit the movement of large coal tows, which movement occurred at stages of water exceeding 10 feet, it was found necessary to remove the points of projecting bars which formed at various locations along the river. The accomplishment of this purpose involved the concen- tration of current by closing back channels at islands with low dams, the contraction and straightening of wide, open channels by low dikes, the dredging of bars and shoals, and the removal of snags and wrecks. Since the completion of the canalization project, the work under the project for open-channel work provides mainly for widening, deepening, and maintenance of the channel in the pools of the dams, and in the open river section of the river below lock and dam No. 53 so as to provide and maintain the full project depth of 9 feet contemplated by the canalization project. In order to properly facili- tate the movement of the present-day barge tows, it has been found necessary to provide channel widths, varying according to the diffi- culty of running the channel, of from 500 to 750 feet. The accomplish- ment 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 1946, is $19,106,000, which includes $200,000 for bank-protection work near Evansville, Ind., authorized in the 1930 River and Harbor Act. There is no approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance of the project. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1827 The project adopted by this act originally covered the entire length of the Ohio River from its mouth near Cairo to Pittsburgh, a distance of 981 miles. It provided for the removal of all obstructions which tend to endanger steam- boat navigation. Jan. 21, 1927 Construction of ice piers, as a part of the project, H. Doc.

No. 409, 69th Cong., 1st sess. sula near Evansville, Ind., and a 200-foot strip along the upstream bank and for bank protec- tion at an estimated cost of $200,000. RIVERS AND HARBORS-OHIO RIVER OPEN CHANNEL WORK 1593 Operation of snag boats on the Ohio River below the Pennsylvania State line was included in the project July 1, 1935, under the pro- visions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved 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 sess.). However, since no serious overbank erosion has occurred since the bank revetment in 1933-34, reforestation is not considered justifiable and no local cooperation is required. Terminal facilities.-See page 1588. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Dredging where re- quired to provide an adequate and dependable channel of project depth at minimum pool conditions was executed. The dikes and revetments were maintained and the routine work of maintaining navigation aids, making channel studies, and hydrographic surveys was performed as required.

ARMY, 1946 Removal of the bear-trap bar below lock No. 14 was performed to alleviate eddy currents in the lower approach to the lock. The channel dredging at Muskingum Island provided a channel 11,100 feet long and 500 feet wide at that location. The channel dredging at Letart Islands provided a channel 4,200 feet long and 500 feet wide, permitting the safe passage of two large ;tows at'that location. The removal of the bear-trap bar below lock and dam No. 28 was performed to alleviate eddy currents in the lower approach to the lock. Dredging at Pond Run Bar provided an adequate channel of 600 feet width and consisted of removing shoal material within the chan- -nel limits.

Condition at end of fiscal year.-The work under this project is about 75 percent complete. In addition to dredging, local stabilization of channel has been effected at various points by construction of dikes and revetments. The work which remains to be done consists of dredging to widen the channel at various points to the project depth and for plac- :ing of revetments at various points to further stabilize the channel and protect the banks against erosion.

Location.-This river is formed by the junction of Poor and Clover Forks in Harlan County, Ky., about 692.8 miles above its mouth, and flows west to Burnside, Ky., from whence it makes a loop south- westward into Tennessee, passes Nashville, and returns northwestward to Kentucky, emptying into the Ohio near Smithland, Ky. (See U. S. Geological Survey base maps of Tennessee 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. 1597 1598 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Above Nashville.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of August 14, 1876, March 3, 1881, and July 5, 1884. further details see page 1898 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1208 of Annual Report -For for 1938. Existing project--Below Nashville.-This provides for the con- struction of locks and dams A, B, C, D, E, and F, and dredging in the 43.6 miles from lock F to the mouth to secure 6-foot navigation at extreme low water from the mouth to lock and dam No. 1, Nash- ville, Tenn. (188.4 miles above the mouth), the first lock .constructed under the project for the section of the river above Nashville. The project also provides for surmounting dams A to F with movable crests. The construction of lock and dam No. 52, Ohio River, has created a pool of more than 6-foot depth in the Cumberland River as far as lock and dam F.

The extreme fluctuation in the stage of the river varies from about 32 to 64 feet at different localities. Fluctuations below extreme high water are so variable that it is impracticable to fix the stage commonly referred to on other streams as ordinary high water. The estimate of cost for new work for the section below Nashville, revised in 1935, was $4,832,448, excluding amounts expended on previ- ous projects and $632,000, chargeable to maintenance work. The estimate of annual cost of operation and maintenance, made in 1909, is $40,000.

The extreme fluctuation in the stage of the river varies from about 42 to about 71 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 estimated cost for new work for the section above Nashville, revised in 1945, is $14,936,400, including $25,000 for raising dam No. 1 in accordance with the River and Harbor Act approved July RIVERS ,AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1601 3, 1930'. The actual cost of locks and dams Nos. 1 to 8 and 21 (already completed), and the estimated cost each of locks and dams Nos. 9 to 17 are given in the table above. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care of locks and dams included in both sections, made in 1936, is $205,000. The estimated cost of snagging operations is $5,000 per annum. The existing project for the section above Nashville was author- ized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 5, 1886 Provision made for locks and dams; the Secretary Annual Report 1884, p. 1663. of War to determine the final plan of improve- ment.

The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946 (Public, No. 525, 79th Cong., 2d sess.), authorized the further improvement of the Cum- berland River between the mouth and Nashville for 9-foot navigation by the construction of moderate height dams at Eureka, Dover, and Cheatham sites, 32.2, 87.6, and 146.4 miles, respectively, above the mouth. The cost of canalization with locks 110 feet wide and 600 feet long, is estimated as $20,730,000. The prosecution of the author- ized modification of the existing project on the Cumberland River will eliminate locks A to F, inclusive, below Nashville and lock 1, above Nashville. Local cooperation.-Below Nashville: None required. Above Nashville: Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-At Nashville, Tenn., there is a five-story ter- minal building 300 feet long and 140 feet wide, built of reinforced con- crete, having large and convenient loading platforms, electric elevator and crane, with railroad connections, municipally owned and open for public use. At Dover, Tenn., there is a privately owned warehouse with inclined tramway. At Clarksville, Tenn., there is a privately owned warehouse with inclined tramway. At Fox Bluff, Tenn., there is a terminal which belongs to the United States, with railroad con- nections, used for the transfer of Government supplies. Privately owned terminals for the transfer of petroleum products have been constructed at Dover, Clarksville, Nashville, and Carthage, Tenn. 1602 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMIt, 1946 There are also privately owned terminals located at Barret rock quar- ries, Kentucky, used for the transfer of riprap rock; near Vicksburg, Pinckneyville, and Dycusburg, Ky., for the transfer of fluorspar; at Clarksville, Tenn., for the transfer of sand and gravel; and at Nash- ville, Tenn., for the transfer of sand and gravel and forest products. In addition to the foregoing, there are many unimproved private land- ings along the river. The facilities are considered adequate for exist- ing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year--(a) Below Nashville.- No new work was accomplished in this section of the river. Mainte- nance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of removing five snags from the channel; dredging 4,662 cubic yards of sand and gravel at Shelleys Island (mile 54) ; and dredging 2,750 cubic yards of sand and gravel at Gowers Island (mile 165.9). The cost of mainte- nance was $21,688.02. (b) Above Nashville.-No new work was accomplished in this sec- tion of the river. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of removing 1,179 snags from the channel and dredging 7,042 cubic yards of gravel and silt at Coopers Island (mile 232) ; 3,650 cubic yards of sand and gravel at Cunningham Island (mile 251.3) ; and 4,700 cubic yards of sand and gravel at Goodall Island (mile 306.2). The cost of maintenance was $40,558.14. (c) Operatingand care of locks and dams.-The 15 locks were oper- ated and the lock structures and appurtenances were cared for. The following items were repaired: Railroad siding and tram track at lock A; section of dam at B; apron at dam C; wicket hoists at dams A, B, C, D, E, F, and No. 1; haulage units at locks A, B, C, D, E, F, and No, 1; lock walls at locks A, B, D, and F; guide wall at lock D; empty- ing valves at lock B; filling valves at lock No. 2; gate latch at lock No. 1; and gate operating machinery at lock No. 5. Anchors were installed above lock B. Lock *pits at locks A, B, D, E, F, and No. 2 were dredged. The cost of operating and care was $315,926.79. The total costs during the fiscal year were $378,172.95, of which $62,246.16 .was for maintenance and $315,926.79 for operating and care. The expenditures were $369,523.49. Condition at end of fiscal year--(a) Below Nashville.-All locks and dams under the existing project have been completed, affording full project depth between the mouth and Nashville throughout the entire year. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1946, were $5,297,257.01 including $685,000 from Public Works funds. Of this amount $5,035,801.52 was for new work and $261,455.49 for maintenance. (b) Above Nashville.--Under the existing project, locks and dams Nos. 1 to 8, inclusive, and No. 21 have been completed. The project as a whole was about 40 percent completed. There remains to 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 "Exist- ing project." Projected locks and dams Nos. 16 and 17 will be elimi- nated and lock and dam No. 21 will be inundated upon completion of the Wolf Creek dam and reservoir project. RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1603 The locks and dams provide, at extreme low water, a navigable channel 6 feet deep from Nashville (lock and dam No. 1, 188.4 miles above the mouth) to Niagara Shoals (a distance of 143 miles) ; 6 feet deep from lock No. 21 to Waitsboro Shoals (25.7 miles); and 4 feet deep from Waitsboro Shoals to Burnside, Ky. (3 miles). The ex- penditures for maintenance have kept the channel above Nashville fairly free from snags and surface obstructions. The depth at ex- treme low water over the shallowest part of the uncanalized reach be- tween the head of pool, lock and dam No. 8, and lock No. 21 (50.8 miles in Tennessee and 101.8 miles in Kentucky) is about 0.5 foot. In this section 3-foot navigation is practically certain from February 1 to May 1, and usually possible from January 1 to June 1. Four-foot naviga- tion is usually possible from February 1 to May 1, but no period can be fixed during which it is reasonably certain. Navigation for vessels drawing over 4 feet is uncertain at all times. When the Celina gage reads 1 foot, 16-inch navigation is practicable, and for each additional foot of reading on this gage the navigable depth is increased 0.8 foot. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1946, were $4,017,916.28, of which $3,760,599.12 was for new work and $257,317.16 for mainte- ilance. (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 im- provement of existing river and harbor works," was $3,121,165.68. The total costs under the existing project for the entire stream were $12,436,338.97 of which $8,796,400.64 was for new work, including $685,000 Public Works funds, $518,772.65 for maintenance, and $3,121,165.68 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $12,418,784.41. In addition, the sum of $3,266,705.82 was expended be- tween July 1, 1905, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent in- definite appropriation.

Existing project.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. No. 328, 71st Cong., 2d sess.), authorized the permanent im- provement of the river for a navigable depth of 9 feet at low water from the mouth to Knoxville, Tenn., a distance of about 650 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 1606 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 work of navigation for which substitution is made. The estimated cost, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $74,709,000 for new work and $40,000 annually for the maintenance and operation of each lock and dam. The latest pub- lished maps are in the project document. The above-mentioned act also authorized the appropriation of $5,000,000 for the prosecution of work on this project. The only construction performed by the lEngineer 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 constructed under the jurisdiction of the Engineer Department.

S. ARMY, 1946 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 improvement of navigable waters at their own expense and risk; issues rules and regulations governing the opening and operation of drawbridges, the transportation and dumping of dredgings or other material into navigable waters; promulgates rules and regulations governing the use, administration, and navigation of navigable waters, including harbors thereof; compiles statistics of 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 projected locks and low dams which are to be replaced, the United States shall con- tribute to the cost of the substituted structures an amount equal to the estimated cost of the works of navigation for which substitution is made. Terminal facilities.-Publicuse river terminals with railroad con- nections, owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority, have been con- structed at Decatur and Guntersville, Ala., and Chattanooga and Knoxville, Tenn. River terminals with railroad connections, muni- cipally owned, have been constructed at Sheffield, Ala., and Chatta- nooga, Tenn. The other public terminals are mostly unimproved landings. Near Johnsonville, Tenn., there is a privately owned rail- road siding. Railroad inclines and sidings are available at Sheffield, Decatur, Hobbs Island, Guntersville, and Bridgeport, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn. Privately owned terminals have been con- structed for the transfer of certain commodities as follows: Auto- mobiles 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 addi- tion to the foregoing there are many unimproved private landings along the river. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No new work was ac- complished. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1609 consisted of the erection of a navigation sign below Kentucky lock and maintenance and inspection of navigation channel. The cost of maintenance was $9,246.77. Operating and care of locks and dams.-All locks were operated and lock appurtenances and stand-by plant were maintained. At Pickwick Landing lock revision of anchorages for loading boom was completed and quoin seals on upper gates were renewed. At General Joe Wheeler lock upstream side of lower gates were painted above pool level, top seal was replaced on both upper and lower valves, valve bulkheads were painted and wooden seals replaced, and valve machinery recess covers were regalvanized. At Guntersville lock upstream side lower gates were painted above pool level. At Hales Bar lock mitering device was installed on upper gates, new spar, pintles, and quoin seals were installed on lower gates and gates were painted below pool level, mooring cribs below the dam were removed, and lock pit was dredged. Damaged bumper timbers on lock gates were renewed at Wilson, General Joe Wheeler, Guntersville, and Chickamauga locks, floating mooring bits were painted at Watts Bar and Picwick Landing locks, warning signs were constructed and. erected at Pickwick Landing, Wilson, General Joe Wheeler, Gunters- ville, Hales Bar, Chickamauga, Watts Bar, and Fort Loudoun locks. The cost of operating and care was $424,401.75. The costs during the year were $433,648.52, of which $9,246.77 was for maintenance and $424,401.75 for operating and care. The ex- penditures were $425,549. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All locks and dams under the existing project have been completed, affording a navigable depth of 8 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 concerning 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 November 27, 1934; and Hales Bar, since November 1, 1913. Subsequent to June 30, 1935, operation and maintenance of lock and dam No. 1, Wilson, General Joe Wheeler, and Hales Bar locks have been carried on with funds appropriated for the preservation and maintenance of rivers and harbors, in addition to the following: Pickwick Landing lock, since September 1, 1937; Guntersville lock, since September 1, 1937; Chickamauga lock, since October 15, 1937; Watts Bar lock, since March 3, 1941; 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 $7,471,278.42, of which $2,244,235.57 was for new work, $2,505,- 235.28 for maintenance, and $2,721,807.57 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $6,867,813.60. 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 improve- ment under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation. 1610 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 con- struction of a system of canals and levees around one side of the town, arranged so as to divert most of the headwaters of Yellow Creek away from the present channel through the heart of the city. The series of canals and levees are about 4 miles in length, beginning on 1614 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Bennetts Fork at the western edge of the town and ending at Yellow Creek near the United States Leather Co. tannery at the northern edge of the town. The cuts involved excavation of approximately 695,000 cubic yards of material, of which about 410,000 cubic yards were utilized in the levee system. Besides construction of the diver- sion channel, there was other incidental work, which included the installation of culverts and the relocation and rebuilding of road- ways and bridges. The construction of this project will divert from the business district and from a large part of the residential section the floodwaters which originate in that part of the basin lying north and west of the city, thus affording protection, in a large measure, to life and property from these headwater floods which cause the greatest damage. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1940, is $811,500. Local cooperation.-None required. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work. None. Maintenance.-Levees, canals, and appurtenances were maintained by hired labor. The costs of maintenance were $3,652.63. The ex- penditures were $3,648.21, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Existing project was complete. The total costs to June 30, 1946, were $830,793.43, of which $817,- 829.98, including $38,876.31, Emergency Relief funds, was for new work and $12,963.45 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 con- struction of a dam for flood control and the development of power. It will have a maximum height of 240 feet and an approximate length of 5,736 feet, of which 1,796 feet is concrete section and 3,940 feet is earth embankment. From the left abutment a short concrete 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. Adjoining the spillway, there will be a concrete powerhouse intake structure through which 6 penstocks will be con- structed. A nonoverflow concrete gravity retaining section will pro- vide a transition between 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 and as a wildlife refuge at all times. The drainage area controlled will be 5,810 square miles or approximately one-third of the Cumberland River Basin. The initial power installation will be about 135,000 kilowatts, and 1616 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 the ultimate installation will be 270,000 kilowatts. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of the project, including the initial three- unit power installation, revised in 1946, is $59,330,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operation and results during fiscal year-New work (contract).- In accordance with existing Federal policies on wartime construction, no construction was accomplished during the portion of the year which preceded the end of the war. Following the lifting of restrictions on construction and appropriation of necessary funds, a letter of award of a continuing contract was issued on February 21, 1946. Con- tractors completed mobilization of forces and equipment and com- menced preliminary construction activities which consisted prin- cipally of common and rock excavation. The contract was not formally executed prior to the end of the fiscal year. Work on prep- aration of site plan and specifications for Government camp site and 'utilities under contract was completed. Construction of camp for temporary housing at project site for Government inspection per- son'nel was commenced. Routine maintenance of plant, buildings, and roads at the quarry site and within the construction area, including necessary protective painting, was continued under negotiated con- tract until April 1946 when the new prime contractors commenced their mobilization on the site. New work (hired labor).--Work accomplished during the year in- cluded revision of plans and specifications for completion of dam and appurtenances; continuation of revision of plans and specifica- tions for the power plant; continuation of work on preparation of plans and specifications for highway and railroad relocations; stream gaging operations; and site grading and foundation pier construction for Government camp at project site. The costs for new work were $458,280.19, including $227,644.17 for hired labor. The expenditures were $209,656.14. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The contract for construction of the dam and appurtenant works was terminated in 1943 when about 8 percent complete. Work accomplished since that time makes the project 13 percent complete. A new contract was let for. completion of the work, and the contractors completed mobilization and com- menced operations on their own responsibility pending formal exe- cution of the contract. Construction of right and left bank access roads has been completed. Preparation of site plan and specifica- tions for Government camp and utilities was completed. Preliminary work was 93 percent complete. The status of work under other con- tracts was as follows: Furnishing cement, 0.5 percent; power plant design, 85 percent; design and furnishing slide gates, 32 percent; design and furnishing of intake gates and hoisting equipment, 29 per- cent. Construction of temporary housing for Government inspection personnel was about 80 percent complete. Survey of reservoir by hired labor has been completed, 731 square miles having been mapped. Detailed inventory appraisals and investi- gations have been completed. Approximately 1,927 acres of land have FLOOD CONTROL---NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1617 ,been acquired in fee simple, and about 108 acres of road easements have been obtained, of which 56 acres were donated. Total costs to June 30, 1946, were $7,651,320.36, of which $1.660,- 300.52 was for hired labor. The total expenditures were $7,644,625.71.

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, Tenn. 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 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 sec- tion extends to a 400-foot concrete gravity spillway section located in the original stream channel. 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 retaining section extends from the intake section to the right abutment. 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 will be available at all times for recreational purposes and as a wildlife refuge. The drain- age area controlled is 935 square miles. The initial power installa- tion 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. FLOOD CONTROL---NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1619 The estimated cost of. the project, including the initial 2-unit power installation, revised in 1946, is $19,275,000 for construction and $4,264,- 000 for lands and damages, a total of $23,539,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work (contract).- In accordance with existing Federal policies on wartime construction, the only new construction prosecuted under contract during the year was the superstructure of the Obey River bridge across the reservoir on Tennessee Highway.No. 42 which was completed. After the lifting of restrictions and the appropriation of funds, a letter of award of a continuing contract was given the. low bidders for the work on May 3, 1946. The contract was formally executed just prior to the end of the fiscal year. The contractors completed the mobilization of their forces but construction was not initiated prior to the end of the fiscal year. New work (hired labor).-Work accomplished during the year included revision of plans and specifications for completion of power plant and preparation of preliminary report and master plan for rec- reation, all of which were completed; and work was continued on prep- aration of operations manual for the dam. Maintenance (hired labor).-The dam was operated and appur- tenances were cared for. Inasmuch as the power-generating facilities have not been installed, the reservoir was operated primarily for flood control. Occasional releases for the benefit of navigation were made during about one-third of the year, with a maximum discharge of about 6,100 cubic feet per second. The average pool elevation was about 637 feet, which is 6 feet above future minimum power pool. Storage in the reservoir varied from a minimum of 864,000 acre-feet in July 1945 to a maximum of 1,292,000 acre-feet in January 1946 following a severe flood period. No releases were made during the flood period from January 7, 1946, to January 22, 1946, and the gain in storage amounted to 314,000 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 2.7 feet and at Nashville, Tenn., by 2 feet. The costs were $438,731.59, of which $408,077.58 was for new work, and $30,654.01 for maintenance. The expenditures were $440,139.26. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the dam and ap- purtenances and Highway No. 42 bridge is complete. However, construction on the powerhouse under the original contract was sus- pended and the contract terminated. -A new continuing contract for the completion of the power plant was formally executed shortly before the end of the fiscal year. The new contractors completed their mobil- ization on the project site but had not commenced construction. Mapping of the reservoir and clearing of the reservoir, both by hired labor, have been -completed, 258 square miles having been mapped, and 20,203 acies of pool area (of which 6,989 acres were timbered) having been cleared. In addition, 10,179 acres of pool area have been cleared by contract. Acquisition of land for the reservoir has been completed, except for several parcels for which condemna- tion proceedings have been instituted in Federal court. Approxi- mately 52,405 acres have been acquired in fee simple; also, about 89 1620 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 acres of flowage easements and about 2 acres of road easements were obtained. The power plant, including all equipment was about 27 percent complete. The total costs to June 30, 1946, were $19,265,177.23, of which $19,185,159.44 was for new work and $80,017.79 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $19,340,786.67.

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 Cookesville, Tenn., and 14 miles southeast of Carthage, Tenn. The Center Hill Reservoir will extend about 64 miles up the main stream and about 10 miles up Falling Water River, and will lie within De Kalb, Putnam, White, and War- ren Counties, Tenn. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a dam for flood control and the development of power. It will have a maximum height of 246 feet and a length of 2,172 feet, of which 1,382 feet is concrete section and 790 feet is rolled earth em- bankment. 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 powerhouse intake. The spillway section will be provided with six sluices for the control of floods and will be sur- mounted with eight tainter crest gates. A 245-foot nonoverflow con- crete gravity retaining section 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 avail- able at all times for recreational purposes and as a wildlife refuge. The drainage area controlled will be 2,195 square miles. The initial power installation 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 1946, is $32,967,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work (contract).- In accordance with existing Federal policies on wartime construction, no construction was accomplished during the portion of the year which preceded the end of the war. Existing facilities were main- tained and cared for under a modification of the suspended prime construction contract. Upon the lifting of restrictions. on construc- tion and the appropriation of necessary funds, the contract was re- activated and construction was resumed on January 6, 1946, on which date the maintenance was discontinued. Construction of camp for temporary housing at project site for Government inspection person- nel was commenced. The principal items of construction under the prime contract were brought to the following percentages of com- pletion: Cofferdam, 70 percent; excavation, 36 percent; concrete, 47 FLOOD CONTROL---NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1623 percent; and embankment, 23 percent. Quantities of the major items of work accomplished were excavation, 232,800 cubic yards; fill, 169,- 200 cubic yards; and concrete, 54,020 cubic yards. New work (hired labor).-Work accomplished included revision of plans and specifications for dam and appurtenances, which was com- pleted; revision of plans and specifications for power plant, prep- aration of plans and specifications for relocation of highway bridge; and stream gaging. The costs were $1,309,046.27, of which $139,851.96 was for hired labor. The expenditures were $1,000,715.31. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The contract for construction of the dam and appurtenant works was approximately 43 percent com- plete. Construction of access roads has been completed.

FLOOD CONTROL---NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1627 11. CHATTANOOGA, TENN., AND ROSSVILLE, GA. Location.-This project is located at Chattanooga, Tenn., and the adjoining suburb of Rossville, Ga., on both banks of the Tennessee River, about 464 miles above the mouth and 188 miles below the source of the river. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a series of earth levees and concrete flood walls consisting, by sections, of the following features: (1) Tennessee River, right bank section, a levee 9,000 feet in length beginning about 200 feet upstream from the north approach of the Walnut Street Bridge, 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 beginning 3,000 feet northeast of Boyce Station, extending northwest by short sections of levee between high points, deflecting and running in a general southerly direction to high ground north of the Citico yards of the Southern Railway, and relocation of part of Citico Creek by a new channel 2,500 feet in length; (3) Tennessee River, left bank, central section, a flood wall 2,400 feet in length beginning at the rock bluff just upstream from the Market Street Bridge andextending downstream to high ground at Second and Pine Streets; (4) Tennessee River, left bank, south section, about 9,600 feet of levee and 4,900 feet of flood wall, the levee beginning at Cameron Hill and extending westerly to the top of the river bank where it turns and runs downstream to the head of Ross Towhead, at which point the works change to a concrete flood wall, continuing southerly along the river bank to the mouth of the Chatta- nooga Creek; (5) Chattanooga Creek section, about 30,000 feet of levees and a new channel for Chattanooga Creek with a length of about 16,000 feet, the new channel following a line extending from near the mouth of the creek to Royal Avenue at the Tennesee-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 Ross- ville levee at the Tennessee-Georgia State line and into the railway yards near the mouth of the creek; (6) Rossville section, actually a continuation of the Chattanooga Creek section, cQnsisting 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 pro- tection with a 5-foot freeboard to the cities of Chattanooga and Ross- ville from floods equivalent to the maximum flood of record, which reached a gage height of 57.9 feet. Necessary sewer and drainage structures, pumping plants, floodgates, ramps, and railroad and street modifications are also included in the project. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941 (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.

GREEN, BARREN, AND NOLIN RIVERS, AND BEAR CREEK, KY. Location.-Green River rises in Casey County, Ky., flows in a northwesterly direction 370 miles, and empties into the Ohio River about 8 miles above Evansville, Ind. Barren River rises in Monroe County, Ky., flows in a 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 direc- tion 40 miles, and empties into Green River 0.3 mile above new lock No. 5 and 168.4 miles above the mouth of Green River. Nolin River rises in Larue County, Ky., flows in a southwesterly direction about 105 miles, and empties into the Green River 1.8 miles above lock No. 6 and 183.5 miles above the mouth of Green River. Existing project.-This provides for the purchase of improvements made prior to 1884 by the State of Kentucky, consisting of locks and dams Nos. 1 .to 4, Green River, and No. 1, Barren River, which gave a continuous 4-foot depth for navigation from Bowling Green, on the Barren River, to the mouth of Green River; the reconstruction of lock No. 2, Green River; the upstream extension of slack-water naviga- tion 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.

For map of the Green, Barren, and Rough Rivers, see H. Doc. No. 81, 73d Cong., 1st sess. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides that in connection with the improvement of Bear Creek, Ky., local interests are to contribute $10,000 to the first cost of the dredg- ing, provide necessary rights-of-way at the bends, furnish without cost to the United States satisfactory areas for the disposal of ex- cavated material, and assume all flowage damages along Bear Creek. These conditions have not been met. The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, provides that local interests provide any land or easements required for the purpose of the improvement of Nolin River. Local interests have been unable to obtain easements required for the removal of overhanging rock ledges at Whistle Mountain. T erminal facilities.-There are six terminals on Green River, five of which are for handling petroleum products and one for unloading 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 conveyor for load- ing asphalt at Kyrock, Ky. There are no terminals on Bear Creek. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-Work during the fiscal year consisted of the removal of shoals, snags, slides, and overhanging trees as required to maintain an adequate channel in the pools of the dams. RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1637 Maintenance (operating and care).---Work during the fiscal year consisted of the operation and maintenance of the seven locks and dams on the Green and Barren Rivers. The costs were $48,272.60 for maintenance of channels and $74,- 813.69 for operating and care of locks and dams, a total of $123,086.29. The expenditures were $121,560.36. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The canalization system on Green and Barren Rivers is in only fair condition, except lock No. 1, Barren River, and lock and dam No. 5, Green River, which are in excellent condition. The controlling navigable depth in the sections covered by the existing project was 5.5 feet at the end of the fiscal year. New work remaining to be done consists of the removal of overhanging rock ledges ht Whistle Mountain on Nolin Riverlprovided for by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, and the improvement of Bear Creek, provided for by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930.

ROUGH RIVER, KY. Location.-- This stream is one of the principal tributaries of Green River and lies wholly within the State of Kentucky. It rises in Hardin County, flows westerly 136 miles, and empties into Green River at Livermore, 71 miles from the mouth of that river. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts, Kentucky quadrangles: Central City, Hartford, Whitesville.) Existing project.--This provides for clearing the river of obstruc- tions and for the construction of a lock and dam to carry slack water to Hartford, Ky. The new work provided for having been com- pleted, the project now contemplates the maintenance of the lock and dam and keeping the river channel free from the snags and other obstructions to navigation from the mouth to Hartford, Ky., a dis- tance of 29.5 miles. 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 original estimate for building the proposed lock and dam and removing obstructions from the river amounted to $56,729.80 (Annual Report for 1885, p. 1901). The project and estimate were subsequently modified (Annual Reports for 1891, p. 2447, and 1896, p. 2280), changing the dimensions of the structures and substituting a concrete lock and abutment for the masonry lock and timber abut- ment originally proposed.

The latest published map of Rough River is printed in H. Doc. No. 81, 73d Cong., 1st sess. Terminal facilities.-There are a few unimproved private landings which are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year--Maintenance (operating and care).-Work during the fiscal year consisted of the performance of custodial services at lock No. 1, Rough River. The total cost during the fiscal year was $3,268.56 for maintenance. The expenditures were $3,077.31. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was completed in 1899. At the end of fiscal year 1946 the lock and dam were in poor condition. The lock gates could not be operated because of mud deposits in lock chambef'. A slack-water channel was available else- where in the river for boats not exceeding a 3-foot draft. 1640 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for raising 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 up- stream side of the Illinois Central Railroad embankment from the bridge at Riverton to high ground at Merom station, a distance of 9,790 feet. Two pumping plants for the disposal of interior drainage, and appurtenant drainage structures are included in the plan of improvement. The project will provide protection for approximately 12,000 acres of overflow land, the village of Riverton, and the waterworks for the town of Sullivan, Ind. One foot freeboard above a flood equal to the maximum flood of record, which occurred in 1913, will be pro- vided. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved 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 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 preservation and repair prior to turning over to local interests; surveys and studies of completed drainage and pumping installations; completion of plans and specifications for strengthening certain portion of the levee; and the initiation of con- struction work to strengthen the levee. Local interests performed routine maintenance and operated the pumping plants during short periods when the river was at or near bank-full stage. By this opera- tion, the district was kept free from overflow in the lower sections. 721584-47-pt. 1, vol. 2-20 1644 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 con- struction of a system of levees and concrete flood walls and channel diversion, consisting of the following features: The Ohio River sec- tion, including 4,860 feet of new earth levee, 20,120 feet of levee en- largement, and 785 feet of concrete wall, extending from high ground about 3 miles north of Mound City along the riverside of State High- way 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 diver- sion, unit 1, including the excavation of 3,890 feet of channel and the construction of 4,830 feet of new earth levee, and unit 2, including the excavation of 1,370 feet of channel and the construction of 600 feet of new earth levee, and unit 3, including 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; construction of one new highway bridge and two new railroad bridges across the diversion channel; two pumping plants for dis- posal of interior drainage; and other appurtenant structures. Units 1 and 2 of the Cache River diversion include excavation of the diver- sion channel from the abandoned Illinois Central Railroad bridge location over the Cache River near Cache, Ill., to the Mississippi River near the Beechridge gage and construction of a new earth levee from high ground just east of the upstream end of the diversion channel to the northwest corner of the existing Cairo drainage district levee. The project will provide protection for Mounds and Mound City, Ill., and about 8,600 acres of agricultural land and will afford a free- board of 3 feet above a flood equal to the maximum flood of record, which occurred in 1937. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $2,782,000 for construction and $474,300 for lands and damages, of which $465,000 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.

Va. and Ky., to about mile 556.2 just above Madison, Ind., a distance of about 238.7 miles, and includes locks and dams Nos. 29 to 39, Ohio River, inclusive. The district further includes the watersheds of all tributaries of the Ohio River within the above stretch, principal of which are the Scioto River, Little Miami River, Licking River, Miami River, and the Kentucky River. District engineer : Lt. Col. Frederick A. Muhlenberg, Corps of Engi- neers, to September 20, 1945; Col. Paschal N. Strong, Corps of Engi- neers, to June 24, 1946; Lt. Col. George N.

LOCKS AND DAMS NOS. 29-39, OHIO RIVER For report on this improvement, see p. 1584. 2. OHIO RIVER, OPEN CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement, see p. 1591. 3. KENTUCKY RIVER, KY. Location.-The Kentucky River is formed by the confluence of its north and middle forks about 4 miles east of the town of Beattyville in east central Kentucky, the south fork joining the main stream at that place, and flows in a general northwesterly direction 258.6 miles and empties into the Ohio River at Carrollton, Ky., mile 545.8 below Pittsburgh, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for State of Kentucky; scale, 1: 500,000.) Existing project.-The project provides for 14 locks and fixed dams to give, in connection with the improvement of the Ohio River, slack- water navigation of 6 feet minimum depth from the Ohio River to points on the three forks a short distance above Beattyville, Ky. The length of the 6-foot-depth project on the main stem of the Kentucky River is 258.6 miles to the confluence of the middle and north forks. The river frequently rises to a height of 35 feet or more. Extreme flood height at lock No. 1 due to backwater from Ohio River when in flood is 60.3 feet, while extreme floods reach a height of 47.6 feet at lock No. 4, and 35.5 feet at lock No. 14. At some intermediate locks the extreme height of floods exceeds 40 feet. All flood heights are referred to upper-pool gages. The original estimate of cost, which contemplated the rehabilita- tion of the five State locks and dams and the extension of slack water to the three forks at Beattyville, was $1,074,402, revised later to $4,865,- 550 for its completion. The estimated cost of operation and care of the locks and dams made in 1936 is $172,500 annually. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1879, in accordance with the report published in House Executive Document No. 47, Forty-fifth Congress, third session (An- nual Report 1879, p. 1398). Operation and care of the locks and dams were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriation Repeal Act, approved June 26, 1934. No project map of the river has been published.

Terminal facilities.-Practicallyno terminal facilities exist for general merchandise and miscellaneous freight. At and near Beatty- ville and Ravenna large tanks are located for the storage of oil which was formerly shipped in barges by the river. Tanks for receiving gasoline are located at or near Carrollton, Frankfort, and Camp Nelson, Ky. Six inclines and one unloading tipple for receiving coal, two chutes for delivering coal, two inclines for receiving logs, one derrick for receiving sand and gravel, one conveyor for shipping, and one crane for receiving sand, gravel, etc., all small in character and mostly used intermittently only, are located at various points on the river. Operations and results during the fiscal year--Maintenance (oper- ating and care).-The locks, dams, and necessary plant were main- tained in operating condition. There were only temporary inter- ruptions to traffic at some of the dams due to high water. Sufficient dredging was done through bars in the channel and de- posits removed from the 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 flashboards 12 inches high on the concrete crests of dams Nos. 12 and 13, as partial replacements for worn-out and unserviceable A-frame crests which were removed in 1935. The major items of maintenance of lock and dam structures were as follows: Lock No. 1, repairs to dam; lock No. 4, repairs to bank slope; lock No. 8, repairs to filling valves; lock No. 9, repairs 1690 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 to auxiliary dam, lock No. 10, repairs to upper guide wall and exten- sion; lock No. 14, repairs to esplanade. The cost of maintenance work was $214,200.38 of which $48,082.34 was for channel maintenance and $166,118.04 was for operation and care. The total expenditures for the year were $232,960.44. Condition at the 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 comple- tion of the various locks and dams is given in the table in the para- graph "Existing project." The limestone walls at locks Nos. 1 to 6, inclusive, and at lock No. 8, are wearing away by erosion. Spalling of the walls at locks Nos. 5 and 8 is occurring to an extensive degree and to a lesser degree at the other locks. The condition of the concrete-capped, stone-filled tim- ber-crib dams at locks Nos. 1 to 8, inclusive, varies from fair to poor. The dams are settling in places and some of the concrete caps are cracked and considerably eroded. The remaining locks and dams, Nos. 9 to 14, inclusive, are of concrete construction and the masonry is generally in good condition, except for considerable spalling of the walls at lock No. 10. Locks Nos. 6, 8,and 9 are difficult to operate on account of large leakages through crevices and seams in the lime- stone on which the walls are founded. The condition of the lock gates, valves, and other appurtenances is fair, except that at locks Nos. 11 and 12 the concrete quoins, gate valves, timbers, and miter timbers are in poor condition, and the lock gates at locks Nos. 3 and 4 are badly rotted and need replacement. The concrete guide and guard walls and piers at the locks are mostly founded on stone-filled timber cribs and are generally in poor condition. Due to deterioration of the supporting cribs, most of these walls and piers are settling and leaning and some actual fail- ures have occurred. The channel is in fair condition. The total cost on this project to the end of the fiscal year was $6,066,833.47 of which $4,176,749.05 was for new work and $492,532.14 for maintenance and $1,397,552.28 for operating and care. The ex- penditures were $6,075,023.01. In addition, the sum of $6,405,371.78 was expended between July 5, 1884, and June 30, 1937, on the opera- tion and care of the work of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriations for such purposes.

PORTSMOUTH-NEW BOSTON, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location.-The project is located at the cities of Portsmouth and New Boston, Ohio, on the right bank of the Ohio River above the mouth of the Scioto River in Scioto County, Ohio. The project will extend from mile 350.2 to mile 356.5 below Pittsburgh. Existing project.-At present the city of Portsmouth is protected with a levee and flood-wall system against a stage of 62 feet on the Portsmouth gage. The proposed project provides a levee and flood- wall system to supplement the present system and extend it to include the city of New Boston and a portion of Portsmouth beyond the up- stream New Boston corporation line. The project will provide pro- tection to the entire city of Portsmouth with the exception of Sciotoville, a small suburb located in the eastern end thereof, and protection to the entire city of New Boston against floods equal in magnitude to that of 1937 (maximum of record) with a 3-foot free- board. The proposed project will extend from the northern corpora- tion line at the Scioto River downstream along the Scioto River and upstream along the Ohio River through Portsmouth and New Boston to a point about 1,000 feet above the upstream New Boston corporation line. The project comprises the construction of about 24,700 lineal feet of levee involving about 1,460,000 cubic yards of rolled fill embankment and 1,210,000 cubic yards of hydraulic fill embankment; about 16,600 lineal feet of reinforced concrete wall; the provision of 13 traffic openings to permit the free passage of traffic during normal periods; the construction of appropriate gates to close the aforementioned openings during flood periods; the remodeling and reconstruction of certain of the existing flood pumping stations and the construction of additional pumping stations to dispose of internal drainage; and the construction of other appurtenant works. The project has been selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of the project is $8,185,000 of which $7,675,000 is for construction and $510,000 is for rights-of-way and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. The require- ments are being fulfilled by both cities. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Construction of the protection works was resumed during the fiscal year. Contract for FLOOD CONTROL--CINCINNATI, OHIO, DISTRICT 1697 unit No. 4, wall and levee, was awarded under a continuing contract in September 1945. Work on designs, plans, and tests, for units 4, 5, and 6 by hired labor was continued, and the design of pump stations was undertaken by contract. The above work was accomplished with regular funds.- Modification of alinement of the wall and levee requested by the Norfolk & Western Railway Co. was accomplished by funds advanced by that company. The cost of new work for the year was $708,164.48 of which $693,014.48 was from regular funds and $15,150 from advanced funds, and the expenditures were $548,402.94, of which $533,252.94 was from regular funds and $15,150 from advanced funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-At the end of the fiscal year the entire project was approximately 57 percent completed. Construction of unit No. 4 was underway and about 68 percent complete. The designs, plans, and tests were in progress for units 5 and 6 by hired labor, and the design of pump stations by contract was about 85 per- cent complete. The work remaining to be done consists of 9,500 feet of wall, 600 feet of levee, and construction or alteration of 12 pump stations.

LAWRENCEBURG, OHIO RIVER BASIN, IND. Location.-The project is located at the city of Lawrenceburg, on the right bank of the Ohio River, 492.9 miles below Pittsburgh and 22 miles below Cincinnati, in the southeastern corner of Dearborn County, Ind. Existing project.-The existing project provides for reinforcing, supplementing, and extending the present protective works at the city of Lawrenceburg. Beginning at high ground on the eastern side of Greendale, a levee extends across the low ground in northern Law- renceburg to the present levee system and follows the present system to and along the Ohio River and along Tanners Creek to tie into high ground with a concrete wall on the western side of Greendale in the vicinity of Seagram's warehouses. The entire project comprises the construction of about 18,000 lineal feet of levee; 320 lineal feet of rein- forced concrete wall; the relocation of a part of Tanners Creek involv- ing the excavation of about 130,000 cubic yards of earth; the provision of eight traffic openings to permit free passage of traffic during normal periods; the construction of appropriate gates to close the aforemen- tioned openings during flood periods; and the provision of appropriate internal drainage facilities and other appurtenant works. The project will protect practically the entire city of Lawrenceburg and the entire suburb of Greendale against floods equivalent to that of 1937 (maxi- mum of record) with a 3-foot freeboard. The project has been selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of the project, revised in 1943, is $2,460,000, of which $2,340,000 is for construction and $120,000 is for rights-of-way and damages.

Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Work on designs, plans, and specifications for Falmouth Reservoir, Ky., were continued. Sta- bility analysis for the overflow section was completed. Consultants were engaged under contract to prepare comparative cost estimates for five different schemes of power development. Core drilling for source of aggregate was accomplished. Work on the Falmouth project was suspended during the last half of the fiscal year. The detailed plans for Jessamine Creek Reservoir were in progress during the first half of the fiscal year. Preparation of detailed plans were initiated and interim reports were submitted on local protection projects for Carrollton, Ky., and Cleves, Ohio. Preparation of detailed plans were initiated for the following local protection projects: Coal Grove, Ohio; Ripley, Ohio; New Richmond, Ohio; Dayton, Ky.; Ludlow, Ky.; and Aurora, Ind. Detailed plans were initiated for Rocky Fork Reservoir, Ohio. Revisions to detailed plans were initiated for the following projects: Ashland, Ky.; Russell, Ky.; Maysville, Ky.; and Covington, Ky. All of the above work was performed by hired labor. The cost of new work for the fiscal year was $87,228.15 and the ex- penditure was $87,566.41. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Total preliminary work at Fal- mouth was about 69 percent complete. Preparation of detailed plans were in progress. The total cost of new work to the end of the fiscal year was $421,992.16, of which $399,436.92 was from regular funds and $22,555.24 from Emergency Relief funds. The total expenditure was $419,877.64, of which $397,322.40 was from regular funds and $22,555.24 was from Emergency Relief funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and accounts re- ceivable on June 30, 1946, will be applied to studies and to the prepara- tion of plans and specifications incident to development of the com- prehensive plan for flood control in the Ohio River Basin. The additional sum of $4,742,500 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1948 for the -preparation of detailed reports, plans, and specifications, and the initiation of new construction projects.

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 involves the construction of about 4,700 linear feet of earth levee and appurte- nant works, together with pumping facilities to dispose of internal 1712 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 drainage. Ramps will be provided to carry existing highways over the protective works. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941. (See H. Doc. No. 261, 77th Cong., 1st sess., which contains the latest published map.) The estimated cost of new work is $329,300 for construction and $51,200 for rights-of-way and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. Assurances have not as yet been received. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The detailed plans were revised during the last half of the fiscal year. The work was accom- plished by hired labor. The cost of new work during the year was $6,895.25, and the expenditure was $7,023.54. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The detailed plans were revised. The total cost of the existing project at the end of the year was $12,000, and the total expenditure was $12,120.44. Proposed operations.--None. Present indications are that local interests are unable to meet the requirements of local cooperation. The unexpended balance plus accounts receivable will be used to liquidate accounts payable of $137.39. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948.

FLOOD CONTROL-CINCINNATI, OHIO, DISTRICT 1713 16. 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 emer- gency 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 appropriation 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 appTopria- tion herein authorized when made. Operations during the fiscal year 1945, 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 sandbag 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 1945. An allotment of $78,000, made in July 1945, was used for re- imbursement of the amounts expended for flood fighting and emer- gency repair work during the fiscal year 1945. The total allotment of $78,000 has been expended. No operations are proposed in fiscal year 1947 under the above-cited law.

OHIO RIVER OPEN CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement, see p. 1591. 3. 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 Wal- honding and' Tuscarawas Rivers at Coshocton, Ohio, flows in a south- erly direction and empties into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project.-This authorized the taking over, restoration, maintenance, and operation of the State works and plant to provide slack-water navigation between lock No. 1, at Marietta, Ohio, and Dresden, Ohio, a distance of 92.85 miles. Navigation is afforded by 11 locks and dams and 4 short lateral canals. The maximum depth which it is now possible to maintain without extensive improvement is 4.5 feet, although in certain portions 5.5 feet is available. Above the site of the old lock No. 11 the minimum depth actually maintained is 2 feet. The navigable depth between lock No. 1 and the mouth, a dis- tance of 0.25 mile, is provided by dam No. 18, Ohio River, and by dredging. The original estimate of cost of restoring the dams taken over from the State of Ohio was $200,000. To this was added later the construc- tion of a new lock and dam No. 11, at a cost of about $143,000, the repair and extension of a levee at dam No. 10, and some minor work, the net total expended from specific appropriations having been $301,- 911.53. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 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 improvement 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 Ap- propriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. An index map of Muskingum River is printed in House Document No. 251, Seventy- eighth Congress, first session.

H H 02 Hr 1720 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Local cooperation.--Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are numerous public and private land- ings, generally unimproved, at points accessible to the public high- ways, and in a few instances having railroad connections. A dock for loading coal from mine conveyor to barges is located at mile 71.1. A dock, located at mile 74.7, for loading coal from motortrucks to barges was in operation. Coal shipped from these docks is unloaded at a slip situated at mile 67.7. Two yards, principally equipped for unloading sand and gravel, are situated at miles 0.2 and 76.4, respectively. Numerous landings, not equipped, are used to stock pile sand and gravel for State and county roads. Two private terminals for handling petroleum prod- ucts exist on the river. The terminal facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The locks and dams were operated as required and essential repairs were made thereto and to appurtenant structures to maintain them in a serviceable condition. Sufficient dredging was done in the approaches and chambers of all locks with the exception of lock No. 9, to permit the passage of com- mercial tows. Dredging was also done at Jackson Island and Bells Bar in the pool of lock and dam No. 10. At lock No. 8 emergency repairs were made to the lower gate to prevent failure. The cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $86,388.41, of which $6,510.06 was for channel maintenance and $79,878.35 for operation and care of locks including $9,083.39 for emergency repairs. The expenditures were $94,072.78. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The locks and dams are in fair con- dition with the exception of dam No. 7 which is in poor condition.

ARMY, 1946 Local cooperation.-Under license No. 1175, issued by the Federal Power Commission, the Kanawha Valley Power Co. has constructed hydroelectric plants at London and Marmet locks and dams, a license fee of $32,000 per annum having been fixed for each site. The Kanawha Valley Power Co. has also constructed a hydroelectric plant at Winfield locks and dam, under license No. 1290, a license fee of $40,000 per annum having been fixed. Terminal facilities.-The public terminal facilities consist of a paved landing at Charleston, W. Va. There are eight gasoline and oil unloading stations at Charleston and vicinity, Cabin Creek, Boomer, and South Charleston, a dock at Nitro, W. Va., for unloading acid, two coal unloading terminals at Belle and one at Cabin Creek, W. Va.; and a terminal at Alloy, W. Va., generally used for unloading coke. Numerous coal tipples, owned by private interests, exist, available for use only to the owners for loading into barges the coal mined by them. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and reslt. during fixci /ear-Ne w work.-Work in connection with the acquisition of flowage easements occasioned by the increased pool heights was continued. The actual cost during the fiscal year was $20,464.23, all from regular funds. Maintenance.-The locks and dams were operated as required and urgent repairs were made thereto and to the appurtenant structures. Dredging was done in the lock chambers and approaches at Winfield and London Locks. Protection from scour was provided for the rock filled crib at end of upper guard wall, London Locks. The timber guard crib below Marmet Locks was removed. Cleaning and paint- ing of roller cates and service bridge, Winfield Dam, and of Stoney gate valves, iMVarmet and London Locks, were initiated. The cost of ' maintenance during the fiscal year was $276,950.22, of which $1,162.77 was for channel maintenance and $275,787.45 for operating and care of locks and dams: The total cost for the fiscal year was $297,414.45 of which $20,464.23 was for new work and $276,950.22 for maintenance. The total ex- penditures were $294,374.07. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 98 percent complete. The work remaining to be done consists of completing the procurement of flowage easements and construction of upper guard wall at Gallipolis Locks. Acquisition of all unac- quired easements, however, has been deferred except in those cases that are reopened by the owners. All structures are in operation and the available depth for navigation is 9 feet from the mouth of the river to the head of the improvement. Above the improved portion of the river, the minimum depth in the channel is less than 1 foot. For details of locks and dams, see table under paragraph "Existing project."

VA., DISTRICT 1729 burg, Ky. Levisa Fork, 160 miles in length, rises in southwestern Virginia and flows in a general northerly direction; and Tug Fork, 154 miles in length, rises in southwestern West Virginia and flows in a general northwesterly direction. Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of July 18, 1878, June 14, 1880, and July 13, 1892. For further details see Annual Report for 1915, page 1929, and Annual Report for 1938, page 1318. Existing project.-This provides for three locks and dams on the main river, two locks and dams each on Levisa Fork and Tug Fork, and regulating works below lock No. 1, reaching to the Ohio River. Only the three locks and dams on the main river and the lower lock and dam on each fork have been constructed. The existing im- provement gives a connection with pool formed by dam No. 29, Ohio River, a slack-water depth of 6 feet from the Ohio River to Louisa, Ky., 27.2 miles, and thence to Cox Branch on Levisa Fork and to Bear Branch on Tug Fork, 17.5 and 12.5 miles, respectively, above Louisa. The clearing of the forks above slack-water limits to Pikeville on Levisa Fork and to Pond Creek on Tug Fork is also included in the project. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1928, is $2,256,800. The estimated cost of operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 1936, is $33,000 annually.

Recommended modification of project.-Recommendaton was made for improvement of the project by canalization to obtain a 9-foot project depth from the mouth of Big Sandy River to Sprigg, W. Va., on Tug Fork, and to the junction of Levisa and Russell Forks on Levisa Fork, by the construction of two locks and dams on Big Sandy River and four locks and dams each on Tug and Levisa Forks, at an estimated cost of $82,300,000. . Recommendation is contained in Re- port on Survey of Big Sandy River and Tug and Levisa Forks-Ky., W. Va., and Va., for Flood Control ahd Navigation. Terminal facilities.-Terminal facilties consist of one privately owned terminal at Leach, Ky., for handling petroleum products. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results durng fiscal year.-Existing commerce on the river requires the use of lock and dam No. 1, only. Consequently, only that structure was operated during the year. Urgent repairs were made to all locks and dams and to the appurtenant structures. The cost of operating and care during the fiscal year was $27,726.86. The expenditures were $27,483.95. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The locks and dams are in fair operating condition, although only lock and dam No. 1 is being operated. The 6-foot slack-water depth is available for about 7 miles above the mouth. Above this point, the slack-water depth is reduced to 4 feet. For details of locks and dams see table under paragraph "Existing project." The total cost under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $1,568,885.09, of which $1,205,804.92 was for new work and $363,080.17 for maintenance including $298.222.51 for operation and care of locks and dams. The total expenditures were $1,567,952.89. In addition, the sum of $1,002,273.16 was expended between January 1897 and June 30, 1938, on the operating and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

MUSKINGUM RIVER RESERVOIRS, OHIO Location.--The Muskingum River 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 iricident thereto, in the Muskingum Valley of eastern Ohio. The construction of 15 reservoirs was originally authorized by the Public Works Administratiop February 20, 1934, and 1 reservoir (Freeport) was eliminated and the stream-channel improvement of the Tuscarawas River at Massillon, Ohio, authorized February 8, 1935 (amended official plan approved by the Chief of Engineers May 16, 1935). An additional amendment of the official plan, providing for a change in the right-of-way of the relocated Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in the Bolivar Reservoir, was approved by the Chief of Engineers August 19, 1936, and on May 13, 1937, the conservancy court further approved the elimination of stream-channel improvement of the Tuscarawas River at Massillon, Ohio, from the official plan (ap- proved by the Chief of Engineers, July 9, 1937). A further amend- ment of the official plan to provide for the elimination of the Sandy- ville levee was approved by the Chief of Engineers February 2, 1938. Additional allotments of $3,500,000 and $1,600,000 were made on Feb- ruary 13, 1936, and July 23, 1937, respectively, by the Public Works Administration, 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. FLOOD CONTROL-HUNTINGTON. W. VA., DISTRICT 1735 The Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, authorized and directed the Secretary of War to reimburse the Muskingum Conserv- ancy District in Ohio a sum not to exceed the actual expenditures made by it in acquiring lands, easements, and rights-of-way for reser- voirs in the Muskingum River Valley, but such reimbursements shall not exceed $4,500,000, nor include any expenditures for lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way heretofore or hereafter purchased from said district by the United States. The Flood Control Act approved August 11, 1939, contained the provision that the Muskingum River Valley dams and reservoirs as set forth in the official plan of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District shall be included in the flood-control plan for the Ohio River Basin authorized in section 4 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, and that the provisions of section 2 of the latter act shall apply to those dams and reservoirs. The Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946, authorized such channel rectification works or other measures at or below the Mus- kingum River Reservoirs as in the discretion of the Chief of Engineers and the Secretary of War may be found necessary to provide for the most efficient operation of those reservoirs, at an estimated cost of $2,200,000. The total estimated cost of the project to the Government (revised in 1946), excluding the cost to the Muskingum Watershed Conserv- ancy District, is $39,280,000, of which $17,703,000 is for construction and $21,577,000 for lands and damages. The project includes the construction of 14 reservoirs, the principal features of which are as follows: Muskingum River Reservoirs No. Name of reservoir 12 Stream .O O Square miles Acre-feet Acre-feet Acre-feet 1 . ..

For further details see Annual Report for 1942, page 1257. Operations and results during the fiscal year-New ork.--Work in connection with acquisition of flowage easements occasioned by the reservoirs, and reimbursements to the Muskingum Watershed Con- servancy District under the. provisions of the Flood Control Act ap- proved August 11, 1939, was continued. Work in connection with relocation of the remaining State, county, and township roads was resumed. Project reports for channel rectification below Piedmont and Tappan Dams were completed. Project report for channel recti- fication in Black Fork of Mohican River below Charles Mill Dam was initiated. The cost during the fiscal year was $1,247,050.66. Maintenance.-Although there was no general flood during the year the 14 flood-control reservoirs were operated individually at various times during the year to alleviate local high-water conditions. The maximum amount of water stored in the reservoirs and the maximum rate of release for the corresponding high-water period are indicated in the following table: Maximum Corresponding Name of reservoir Date, 1946 flood storage maximum release Cubic feet per Acre-feet second Atwood -------------------------- ------------ May 30 ------ 4, 800 860 Beach City -. - do- -- _ 11, 600 1, 810 Bolivar -------- May 29_ 9,400 4,760 Charles Mill __----------------------June 23 ----------------------- _ 23, 000 770 Clendening ----------------------- May 29 _ 2, 080 910 Dover _ .--------------------------- May 30_ 23, 900 7, 170 Leesville ------------------------- May 31 ----------------------- 3, 000 360 Mohawk ------------------------- June 21_ 17, 400 7, 740 Mohicanville- ...- ............... _ do. 20, 400 1,950 Piedmont ------------------------ November 24 ___ 3, 900 290 Pleasant Hill .......---------------------- February 27 --- 4, 200 1, 310 Senecaville ....---------------------- - June 20 - 6, 700 490 Tappan -------------------------- May 30 ,_5,100 180 Wills Creek----------------------- June 22__ 32, 900 5, 660 The necessary repairs were made to the structures and appur- tenances.

BLUESTONE RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, W. VA. Location.-On New River, W. Va. and Va., about 2.5 miles above linton, W. Va., and 1 mile above the confluence of the New and Greenbrier Rivers. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a concrete gravity dam having a maximum height of 165 feet and an over-all length of 2,061.5 feet, consisting of 790 feet of spillway section, 330 feet of powerhouse intake structure, and 941.5 feet of nonoverflow sections and abutments. The reservoir created, ,extending approximately 36 miles upstream from the dam and pro- viding for the gross storage of 631,000 acre-feet, will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system for the protection of the New, Kanawha, and Ohio Valleys generally. The estimated cost of new work is $25,800,000, revised in 1946. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Acts approved June 22, 1936, and June 28, 1938. Prior to the foregoing authorizations under provi- sions of Executive Order No. 7183A, dated September 12, 1935, which authorized the construction of a reservoir dam on New River for the reduction of flood heights in the Kanawha and Ohio Valleys, and for the development of power surveys, foundation explorations, clearing of reservoir area, design of dam, and the acquisition of land were undertaken. The sum of $543,960.27 from emergency relief funds was allotted for initiating this work. For further details, see page 1453 of the Annual Report for 1939. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work under the con- tract for construction of the dam, which was suspended during the war, was resumed on January 3, 1946. Work under the sluice-gate contract which was also suspended during the war has been resumed. Supply contracts were entered into for cement, additional conduit linings, and additional sluice gates. The supplemental plans contem- plating elimination of power installation at the project were com- pleted and approved. Contract drawings for construction of the dam and appurtenances were revised to restore critical materials and to eliminate power facilities. Plans and specifications for the eight additional sluice gates were prepared and the contract for furnishing and delivering the gates was awarded. Revisions to plans and speci- fications for sluice bulkheads, crest gates, skim gates, and trash chute emergency gate were initiated. Plans were prepared and specifica- FLOOD CONTROL-HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1741 tions were initiated for the clearing of reservoir area below elevation 1,400. Work on sales investigation and appraisal of 65 tracts re- quired in connection with construction of highways and the proposed clearing was initiated. Relocation of the State highway on the left bank at the dam site was initiated by the owner under agreement. The cost of new work during the year was $1,453,574.55. The ex- penditures were $1,556,397.79. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work under the contract for con- struction of the dam was approximately 42 percent complete. Work under the supply contract for sluice gates had been resumed and supply contracts for additional sluice gates, cement, and additional conduit linings had been entered into. Plans and specifications for construction of the dam are complete. Plans and specifications for sluice gates and conduit liners were complete and were being revised for sluice bulkheads, crest gates, skim gate, and trash chute emergency gate. Acquisition of those tracts affected by the incomplete structure is complete and work in connection with acquisition of 65 tracts required for construction of highways and the proposed clearing is in progress. Land-acquisition work is about 22 percent complete. One highway at the dam site has been relocated and relocation of the highway on the left bank at the site is in progress by the owner under agreement. Work on the entire project is about 34 percent complete. The total cost of new work to the end of the fiscal year was $7,218,123.32. The expenditures ;were $6,946,661.73. 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, construct- ing complementary levees, pumping stations and appurtenances, and remedial work. The project has been subdivided into five construc- tion units, namely, (1) constructing two pressure conduits, (2) section 1, widening and deepening the present channel for a distance of 10,400 feet, constructing 1,300 feet of new channel, and 3,900 feet of levees, relocating 3.60 miles of railroad lines *ith facilities, including con- structing four railroad bridges, the substructure of an additional rail- road bridge, and replacing one highway bridge, (3) constructing the superstructure of the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge across the Tuscarawas River, (4) section 2, widening and deepening the present channel for a distance of 1,120 feet, constructing 4,130 feet of new channel and 12,400 feet of levees and 200 feet of concrete wall, relocat- ing 2.15 miles of railroad lines with facilities, replacing two highway bridges with viaducts and reconstruction of affected water service and public utility lines, and (5) constructing four pumping stations. In addition, the United States has entered into agreements with affected property owners for the performance of certain remedial work con- nected with the project. The'project will provide protection (with 3-foot freeboard) against a flood with peak discharge 20 percent greater than maximum of rec- ord. The existing project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin, contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $6,089,400. In addition to the amount to be expended by the United States, the Massillon Conservancy District has contributed $485,600 for addi- tional 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.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A contract was entered into for construction of the superstructure of the Pennsylvania Rail- road bridge over Tuscarawas River and work under the contract was FLOOD CONTROL-HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1747 initiated. A revision of the detailed plans to incorporate drainage changes required by the supplemental drainage report was initiated and was practically completed. Work under agreements with rail- road and utility companies and in connection with land acquisition which was suspended during the war has been resumed. The cost of new work during the year was $68,080.71. The expenditures were $65,292.51. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Plans and specifications for the project have been completed except for those for section 2 and the pumping stations, which require revision to conform with the supple- mental drainage report as regards- drainage changes. The construc.. tion of two pressure conduits and of section 1 of the project is complete. The substructure of the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge was. constructed under the contract for section 1 and fabrication of the superstructure has been initiated under separate contract. Work un- der agreements with railroad and utility companies and in connection with land acquisition has been resumed and is about 67 percent com- plete. Construction work on the entire project is approximately 50 percent complete. The total cost of new work to the end of the fiscal year was $2,945,700.95. The expenditures were $2,941,627.53. The foregoing cost and expenditures include the amount of $485,600 con- tributed by the Massillon Conservancy District.

Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preparation of detailed plans for the Roseville, Ohio, local protection project was initiated. Preparation of detailed plans for the Burr Oak Reservoir, Ohio, was continued. Work connected with revision of the detailed plans for the Point Pleasant, W. Va., local protection project was initiated. A survey of the reservoir area for the Summersville Reservoir, W. Va., 1762 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 was initiated. The cost of new work during the fiscal year was $75,283.36. The expenditures were $66,552.66. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Preliminary surveys and plans have been completed for a number of the projects included in the comprehensive plan and are well advanced on all others. The cost of new work to the end of the fiscal year was as follows: Regular funds: The cost was $260,955.51. The expenditures were $250,386.98. Emergency Relief funds: The cost and expenditures were $3,283.44. The total cost, all funds, was $264,238.95. The expenditures were $253,670.42. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and accounts re- ceivable on June 30, 1946, $133,113.02, will be applied to accounts pay- able June 30, 1946, $16,066.60, and to development of the comprehen- sive plan. The sum of $696,300 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, 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 acquisition by the United States in 1897 of original locks Nos. 1 to 7, inclusive, which were built by the Monogahela Navigation Co., and the extension of slack-water navigation to the head of the river by the construction of original locks Nos. 8 to 15, inclusive, prior to 1904. The projects were adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, June 3, 1896, and June 4, 1897. For further details see page 1910 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1248, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the improvement of the river by 13 locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation for its entire length from Pittsburgh, Pa., to above Fairmont, W. Va. Original locks and dams Nos. 7, 8, and 9 were replaced by new locks and dams Nos. 7 and 8 in 1925. Increased traffic necessitated an enlargement and improvement of locks and dams Nos. 1 to 6 between Pittsburgh and Rices Landing, Pa., by the building of two parallel chambers and fixed concrete dams. Original locks and dams Nos. 10 to 15, inclusive, are still adequate for the present traffic and are maintained under the existing project. Locks and dam No. 1 were eliminated in 1938 by the raising of the Emsworth Dam, Ohio River. The channel width varies from 125 feet in pool No. 15, to full width of river at the mouth. The con- trolling depth from Pittsburgh, Pa., to mile 100.3 in the upper reach of pool No. 8 is 9 feet at normal pool level, then to mile 100.9 is 8 feet, and from this point to the head of the river is 7 feet. The total estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946 (exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects) is $15,636,000. This amount includes $110,000 to be contributed. 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: RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1769 Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1899 Enlargement and improvement of lock and dam Annual Report, 1897, p. 2423.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1771 Terminal facilities.-The city of Pittsburgh has constructed a mod- ern 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 receipt in the Pittsburgh district of the type of commerce now in existence. The provision of river-to-rail and rail-to-river transfer terminals on an extensive scale is not important, since 98 percent of traffic using the river passes through the private terminals, which are more than ade- quate for the prospective commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Contract plans and specifications for the reconstruction of lock No. 2 were completed. Additional holes were drilled for subsurface investigation of location of proposed operation building. Bids were advertised and rejected. The Government-hired labor estimate was checked with regard to the low bidder. A revised estimate was prepared and fact- finding report submitted to higher authority. Negotiations were com- pleted with the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. regarding changes for inlet and outlet facilities necessitated by the reconstruction. 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. 10, and plans prepared for future dredg- ing. Snagging operations were performed throughout the length of the channel by hired labor and Government plant, where required. A total of 10,414 cubic yards was dredged from the channel, at various bars by hired labor. Maintenance (operating and care).-The locks were operated as required and necessary repairs and improvements were made thereto, and to operators' quarters and grounds.

ALLEGHENY RIVER, PA., CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS Location.-This river rises in northern Pennsylvania, flows north- westward into New York, thence generally southwestward to Pitts- burgh, Pa., where it joins with the Monongahela River to form the Ohio. Its length is 325 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for western Pennsylvania and southwestern New York.) Existing project.-This provides for eight locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation from Pittsburgh, Pa., to above East Brady, Pa., a distance of 72 miles. Original locks and dams Nos. 2 and 3 were replaced by new locks and dams Nos. 2 and 3 in 1934. Lock and dam No. 1 was eliminated in 1938 by the raising of the Emsworth Dam, Ohio River. The controlling depth throughout the canalized portion is 9 feet at normal pool level, and the channel width varies from a minimum of 200 feet to full width of river at the mouth. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 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.

There are numerous privately main- tained terminals and docks consisting of tipples, various types of hoists, chutes, and pipe lines for use in loading and unloading coal, coke, sand, gravel, limestone, cement, petroleum products, steel prod- ucts, and other commodities. The transshipment of freight between river and railroads is handled at privately owned river-to-fail termi- nals. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work,--Negotia- tions relative to final conclusion of land acquisition, condemnation proceedings, and legal work pertaining thereto were continued. Maintenance.-Nowork under this heading was performed through- out the fiscal year. Maintenance (operating and care).-The locks were operated as re- quired and necessary repairs and improvements made thereto, and to the operators' quarters and grounds. In addition to ordinary re- pairs to structures and plant, the following major work was per- formed: At locks Nos. 2 and 3, valves were examined and necessary repairs made to the valves in the river and land walls. Dredging operations were performed in the lower approach to lock No. 2 by Government plant and hired labor, a total of 350 cubic yards of silt material being removed. The total costs were $226,552.53, of which $508.38 was for new work, $5.31 for channel maintenance, and $226,038.84 for operation and care of locks knd dams. The expenditures were $235,409.84. Condition at 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, affording adequate depth at all times for the passage of commercial tows.

OHIO RIVER, OPEN-CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement, see page 1591. 5. YOUGHIOGHENY RIVER, PA. Location.-This river, the principal tributary of the Monongahela, rises in Preston County, W. Va., near the western boundary of Mary- land flows northward through Maryland into Pennsylvania, thence northwestward to empty into the Monongahela River at McKeesport, Pa. Its length is 123 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for southwestern Pennsylvania, western Maryland, and northern West Virginia.) Previous projects.--Adopted by River and Harbor Acts approved June 25, 1910, and January 21, 1927. For further details see page 1274, Annual Report for 1929, and page 1261, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the canalization of the river from the mouth to West Newton, Pa., 19.3 miles, so as to provide a navigable depth of 9 feet by the construction of two locks and dams. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $8,785,000. 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 Dec. No. 9, RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1779 61st Cong., 2d sess.). The project was modified by the Chief of Engineers September 7, 1934, to provide for two locks and dams in lieu of three locks and dams previously authorized (no printed report). A map of the river is printed in House Document No. 82, Fifty-sixth Congress, first session. The Chief of Engineers is authorized to revise the plans and estimates to meet any changes in conditions. Terminal facilities.-Privately maintained terminals for unload- ing coal, sand, gravel, manufactured products, etc., ample for present requirements, exist at McKeesport, Pa. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No work was performed during the year in connection with maintenance of the dredged chan- nel from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa. There were no costs or expenditures. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No canalization has been done on the existing project. The effect of pool No. 2, Monongahela River, permits movement from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa., by commercial tows. The total cost since adoption of the exist- ing project was $74,635.54, all for maintenance: The total expendi- tures under the existing project were $74,635.54. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1946, amounting to $4,103 will be applied to hired labor maintenance dredg- ing of a 9-foot channel between the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa. The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, to be applied to maintenance dredging of the 9-foot channel from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa.

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 1,921 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.-Studies to determine the feasibility of conveying certain lands to the State of West Virginia were continued. Maintenance (operating and care).-The reservoir was operated effectively, as required, and necessary repairs made to the dam and related structures. No major repairs were made during the year. Field work in connection with the survey to determine sedimentation in the reservoir was completed. Preparation of the report on sedi- mentation in the reservoir is well under way. Natural flow in the Monongahela River generally was adequate throughout the year for navigation purposes. However, impounded storage in Tygart Reservoir was released progressively during the summer and fall months according to the storage and release schedule to further improve stream-flow conditions. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh was not above flood stage at any time during the year. On three occasions, however, rises occurred that crested between 20 and 25 feet. Water was stored in this and other reservoirs above Pittsburgh during these rises and served to prevent the river from approaching or slightly exceeding flood stage. The reservoir reached its maximum level during the year on May 29, 1946. At that time the water surface was 97.7 feet above minimum pool, representing an impoundment of 125,400 acre-feet or approximately 45 percent of the total usable reservoir capacity. Due to the late date, however, the larger portion of this storage had been impounded for low-water regulation purposes prior to the occurrence of the rise. 'RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1781 The total costs were $28,184.70, of which $414.42 was for new work, and $27,770.28 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $29,- 589.01. 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 the State of West Virginia. 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- logical Survey charts for Tionesta, Tidioute, and Sheffield, Pa.)- Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a flood FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1785 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.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Some pre- liminary work was performed, consisting of miscellaneous engineer- ing work. Revisions to plans and specifications for the remaining items of work were completed. Plans were also completed for a storage building. Investigations and preliminary studies together with a report on alternate sites for the public sanitary building and parking facilities were completed. A topographic survey in connec- tion with the layout of the alternate site for the parking area was completed. Plans and specifications for a central treated water supply system is under way. Bids were advertised for the installation of piezometers. Work is under way on the preparation of a preliminary recreational report. In connection with the acquisition of land in the reservoir area, a total of 25.56 acres in fee simple 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 the operators' quarters and grounds throughout the year. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh was not above flood stage at any time during the year. On three occasions, however, rises occurred that crested between 20 and 25 feet. Water was stored in this and other reservoirs above Pittsburgh during these rises and served to prevent the river from approaching or slightly exceeding flood stage. The reservoir reached its maximum level during the year on June 3, 1946. At that time the water surface was 59.1 feet above mininmum pool, representing an impoundment of 65,600 acre-feet or approximately 52 percent of the total usable reservoir capacity. The total costs were $31,064.36 of which $14,464.93 was for new work and $16,599.43 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $31,940.04. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and the reser- voir is in operation as a unit of 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; some miscellaneous appurtenances to the dam; completing utility settlements; concluding the acquisition of land; construction of a public sanitary building and storage building; com- pletion of landscaping, paving the parking area and access road; and installation of piezometers and water supply system for dwellings and 1786 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 public sanitary building. All work necessary to the acquisition of land in the reservoir area is approximately 99 percent complete. The total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 2,986.40 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 68 acres. Under the 1936 Flood Control Act, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania acquired the dam site for this project, the transfer of which title to the Federal Government has not yet been consummated.

The reservoir is located entirely in Armstrong County, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Freeport and Elders Ridge, Pa.) 721584-47 pt. 1, vol. 2- 29 1788 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 1,480 feet long at the top, rises 143 feet above the stream bed, and pro- vides for the gross storage of 93,900 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 278 square miles. 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 author- ized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1943, is $4,300,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Some pre- liminary work was performed, consisting of miscellaneous engineering work. Preparation of plans and specifications for a central treated water supply system was well under way. Plans and specifications were completed for the storage building. 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 connection with the sedimentation survey of the reservoir, all field work was completed and preparation of report thereon in progress. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh was not above flood stage at any time during the year. On three occasions, however, rises occured that crested between 20 and 25 feet. Water was stored in this and other reservoirs above Pittsburgh during these rises and served to prevent the river from approaching or slightly exceeding flood stage. The reservoir reached its maximum level during the year on June 15, 1946. At that time the water surface was 33 feet above minimum pool, representing an impoundment of 21,700 acre- feet or approximately 24 percent of the total usable reservoir capacity. The total costs were $26,475.35, of which $4,225.65 was for new work and $22,249.70 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $24,223.46. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and the reser- voir 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; installation of domestic water supply system; construction of a storage building; certain miscellaneous appurte- nances to the dam; and making settlement with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for reimbursement for certain utility relocations per- formed by the Commonwealth under the requirements of the 1936 Flood Control Act. All work necessary to the acquisition of land in the reservoir is approximately 99 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 FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1789 the dam site for this project, the transfer of which title has not as yet been consummated.

JOHNSTOWN, PA., CHANNEL Location.-The city of Johnstown is located in southwestern Cam- bria County, Pa., approximately 58 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pa. It is situated in a deep and comparatively narrow valley at the junction of Stony Creek and Little Conemaugh River, which unite to form the Conemaugh River. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for Johns- town, Pa.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for increas- ing the channel capacity by enlarging and realining the exsting chan- nels and protecting the banks with concrete pavement. Miscellaneous features of work include relocation of railroad tracks, highway and utilities, and alterations to sewers, drains, bridge piers, and other struc- tures. The improvement involves about 47,300 feet of channel as fol- lows: The Conemaugh River for a distance of 19,100 feet extending from the "Point" downstream to about 2,650 feet below the Pennsyl- vania 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" upstream to about 500 feet above the Ferndale Bridge in the vicinity of the borough of Ferndale. The project is designed to accommodate discharges equivalent to those of the March 1936 flood, the maximum natural flow of record, with a minimum of overbank flow and to prac- tically eliminate damages therefrom. The existing project was au- thorized by the Flood Control Acts, approved June 22, 1936, and August 28, 1937. FLOOD CONTROL-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1791 The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $8,675,000, of which $7,798,000 is for construction and $877,000 for rights-of-way and damages. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Some pre- liminary work was performed, consisting of miscellaneous engineering work. Work in connection with the design of remedial measures for protection against scour in the Little Conemaugh River (unit No. 4) is well under way. In connection with the acquisition of land, flow- age easements over 14.41 acres were acquired during the year. Maintenance.-The channel was maintained in a satisfactory condi- tion. A total of 18,043 cubic yards of material was removed from the bar formed at the junction of Little Conemaugh River and Stony Creek under contract. Investigation of scour along the footers of the slope paving was made and side-slope paving was repaired by hired labor. The total costs were $67,222.11, of which $17,778.65 was for new work and $49,443.46 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $66,519.16. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The improved channels are fully complete except for the completion of remedial measures for protec- tion against scour in unit No. 4.

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 6/2 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-con- trolled 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, generally. The remaining 4,500 acre-feet are in permanent storage. Two penstocks are 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 Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new woik, revised in 1938, is $6,500,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Some pre- liminary work was performed consisting of miscellaneous engineering work. Revisions to plans and specifications for remaining items of work were completed. Bids were advertised and contract awarded for the paving of the access road and parking area. All work in connection with this contract was completed during the fiscal year. Partial payments were made to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in connection with the relocation of highway L. R. 32111. In connec- tion with the acquisition of land in the reservoir area, a total of 9.68 acres in fee simple 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 not above flood stage at any time during the year. On three occasions, however, rises occurred that crested between 20 and 25 feet. Water was stored in this and other reservoirs above Pittsburgh during these rises and served to prevent the river from approaching or slightly exceeding flood stage. The reservoir reached its maximum level during the year on May 30, 1946. At that time the water surface was 44.1 feet above minimum pool, representing an impoundment of 13,950 acre-feet or approximately 20 perceht of the total usable reservoir capacity. The total costs were $60,388.61, of which $44,094.36 was for new work and $16,294.25 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $59,956.95.

S. ARMY, 1946 14. LOYALHANNA RESERVOIR, PA. Location.-The dam site is located on Loyalhanna Creek, 4.5 miles above the junction of the creek with the Conemaugh River at Salts- burg, Pa., and about 29 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located entirely in Westmoreland County, Pa. (See U. S. Geologi- cal Survey chart for Latrobe, Pa.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a flood control reservoir dam of the concrete gravity type with a gate con- trolled center spillway flanked by abutment sections joining the valley sides, and an earth embankment section terminating in the left abut- ment. The dam is 960 feet long at the top, rises 113 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross controlled storage 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, generally. The remainining 2,000 acre-feet are in permanent storage. 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 Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved 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 pre- liminary work was performed consisting of miscellaneous engineering work. Revisions to plans and specifications for the remaining items of work were completed. Bids were advertised for the paving of the access road and parking area. Work in connection with the final con- clusion of land acquisition was continued. 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. In addition to ordinary maintenance and repairs to structures and plant, four slide gates were furnished under contract; and installation of these gates together with piston roads was accom- plished by hired labor. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh was not above flood stage at any time during the year. On three occasions, however, rises occurred that crested between 20 and 25 feet. Water was stored in this and other reservoirs above Pittsburgh during these rises and served to prevent the river from approaching or slightly exceeding flood stage. The reservoir reached its maximum level during the year on June 3, 1946. At that time the water surface was 28.3 feet above minimum pool, representing an impoundment of 16,900 acre-feet or approximately 18 percent of the total usable reservoir capacity. The total costs were $94,793.28, of which $48,890.79 was for new work, and $45,902.49 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $98,218.76. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The dam is complete and the reser- voir 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 acquisi- FLOOD CONTROL-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1797 tion of land in the reservoir area is aproximately 99 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 remain- ing to be done consists of preliminary work; completing a settlement in connection with railroad relocation work performed by the owning agency under agreement with the United States; relocation of cer- tain highways -and utilities in the reservoir area by agreement with the owning agencies and making settlement therefor; clearing of a few scattered parcels in the reservoir area; concluding work in con- nection with acquisition of land; construction of a public sanitary building and storage building; paving of parking area and access road; and completion of landscaping, and certain miscellaneous ap- purtenances to the dam.

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., West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a reservoir dam of the rolled-fill type with separate uncontrolled side channel spillway and tunnel outlet works. The dam 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 tributary 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-abatement purposes. The reser- voir 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 generally. The project was selected for con- struction 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 1913, is $9,600,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Some pre- liminary work was performed consisting of miscellaneous engineering work. In addition, advance planning on plans and specifications for the concrete spillway lining, damtenders' dwellings, public sanitary building, landscaping, surfacing of access road and parking area, and water supply system were completed. Plans were also completed for the storage building. Bids were advertised and contract awarded for the construction of the concrete spillway lining. An aluminum type lightning protection system was installed by contract. Partial settle- ments were effected relative to highway relocations. Work in connec- tion with final conclusion of land acquired was continued. Maintenance (operating and care).-The reservoir was operated for the benefit of flood control, as required, and necessary repairs made to the dam and grounds throughout the fiscal year. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh was not above flood stage at any time during the year. On three occasions, however, rises occurred that crested between 20 and 25 feet.

Negotiations were under way with officials of the State of Ohio regarding licenses from the Secretary of War to the State of Ohio for the fish and game development at this reservoir. Negotiations were also under way regarding agreement with the State of Ohio for the construction and operation of the public sanitary building and the parking area. Negotiations were continued relative to utility settlements. In connection with the acquisition of land in the reservoir area, flowage easements over 22.87 acres were acquired. Maintenance (operating and care).-The reservoir was operated effectively for low-water regulation, as required, and necessary re- pairs were made to operators' temporary quarters and grounds throughout the fiscal year. The Mahoning River at Youngstown, Ohio, exceeded flood stage on one occasion during the year, reaching a stage of 14.4 feet (2.4 feet above flood stage) on May 28, 1946. Water was stored in this and other reservoirs in the Mahoning River Basin during this flood period and during other periods of stream rise for subsquent use in low-water regulation of stream flow. This reservoir, in conjunction with Milton Reservoir, was operated for low-water regulation as required. The usable storage in the two reservoirs on July 1, 1945, was 87,300 acre-feet. The impounded water was re- leased during the summer and fall at rates averaging about 300 second- feet, during June, July, and August, with lesser amounts during the cooler months, to improve flow conditions and the temperature of the water in the Mahoning River at Youngstown, Ohio. Minimum stor- age conditions were reached on December 25, 1945, when the combined * usable storage had been depleted to 39,700 acre-feet. During the win- ter and spring months, storage was replenished with the combined usable storage in the two reservoirs reaching the maximum scheduled value of 91,000 acre-feet on May 28, 1946. The highest water surface FLOOD CONTROL-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1803 reached during the year in Berlin Reservoir was 51 feet above mini- mum pool on May 29, 1946. This represents an impoundment of 84,000 acre-feet or about 94 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. The total costs were $82,925.84, of which $64,097.66 was for new work and $18,828.18 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $90,814.10. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and the reser- voir is in operation for flood-control and low-water regulation pur- poses in the industrialized Mahoning Valley below. Approximately 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 94 percent complete. The total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 6,913.31 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 1,075.59 acres. Work remaining to be done consists of preliminary work; completing clearing of the reservoir area; com- pleting a utility settlement; completion of settlements in connection with highway relocation; concluding all work in connection with the acquisition of land; construction of a concrete stilling weir and gage house, public sanitary building, storage building and dam-tenders' dwellings; completing landscaping, and paving of entrance and access roads; and completing certain miscellaneous appurtenances to the dam. Planning and construction of the public sanitary building and parking area is contingent upon the action taken on the proposed agree- ment with the State of Ohio for the construction and operation of these features by the State. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $5,947,886.45, of which $5,872,545.17 was for new work and $75,341.28 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $5,946,874.68.

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 for Bristolville, Ohio, and Kins- man, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.) 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 104,100 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 97 square miles. Of this storage, 98,000 acre-feet are available for low-water regulation and flood-control purposes in 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 6,100 acre-feet are in permanent storage. The Ireser- voir is operated for flood-prevention purposes as a unit of a coordi- nated reservoir system. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Acts approved June 28, 1938 and August 18, 1941. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $4,495,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Some pre- liminary work was performed consisting of miscellaneous engineering work. Revisions to plans and specifications for remaing items of 1806 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 work were completed. Preparation of a master recreation report is under way. Work on standard minimum details and specifications for cottages to be constructed on land leased from the Goveinment at the reservoir is under way. Negotiations are under way with officials of the State of Ohio re- garding licenses from the Secretary of War to the State of Ohio for the fish and game development at this reservoir. Drilling of a water well for the damtenders' dwellings, by contract, was completed except for the installation of the well screen and de- veloping and testing of the well. The construction of the outlet works operating house by contract was completed except for some final adjustments to the crane and the testing of the electrical system. The installation of the heating sys- tem for the operating house was completed by contract except for the installation of a protective liner in the boiler door. Some work on miscellaneous appurtenances to the dam was per- formed by hired labor and certain machihery and equipment pur- chased. A utility settlement was completed for relocations performed by the owning agencies. Work in connection with final conclusion of land acquired was continued. Maintenance (operating and care).-The reservoir was operated effectively for low-water regulation, as required, and necessary repairs made to the grounds and plant. The Mahoning River at Youngstown, Ohio, exceeded flood stage on one occasion during the year, reaching a stage of 14.4 feet, (2.4 feet above flood stage) on May 28, 1946. Water was stored in this and other reservoirs in the Mahoning River Basin during this flood period and during other periods of stream rise for subsequent use in low-water regulation of stream flow. The reservoir was operated for low-water regulation as required. The usable storage in the reservoir on July 1, 1945, was 46,800 acre-feet. The impounded water was released during the summer and fall months at varying rates up to about 200 second-feet, to improve flow conditions and the temperature of the water in the Mahoning River at Youngstown, Ohio. The minimum reservoir level occurred on September 8, 1945, when the usable storage had been depleted to 28,500 acre-feet. During the winter and spring months, storage was replenished with the usable storage reaching the maximum scheduled value of 70,300 acre-feet on May 23, 1946. The highest water surface reached during the year was 14.8 feet above minimum pool on May 29, 1946. This represents an impoundment of 78,400 acre-feet or about 85 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. The total costs were $81,037.68, of which $69,039.54 was for new work and $11,998.14 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $99,825.21. 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 neces- sary to the final conclusion of the acquisition of land in the reservoir area is approximately 93 percent complete. The total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 11,213.98 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 275.21 acres. Work remaining to be done con- sists of preliminary work; completion of the outlet works operating house; installation of the heating system for the operating house, and FLOOD CONTROL-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1807 the drilling of water well for the damtenders' dwellings; 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 settlements for certain utility relocations performed by the owning agencies; construction of damtenders' dwellings, public; sanitary building, storage building; permanent service bridge, and entrance road to dwellings; completing modifications to the outlet works; and completing certain miscel- laneous appurtenances to the dam. Planning and construction of the public sanitary building and parking area is contingent upon the possibility that the reservoir area will be turned over to the State of Ohio for recreational development. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $3,742,498.29, of which $3,718,263.77 was for new work and $24,234.52 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $3,737,891.23.

PUNXSUTAWNEY, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. Location.-The Borough of Punxsutawney is located on Mahoning Creek in Jefferson County, Pa., approximately 85 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. It is situated on a comparatively wide, alluvial flood plain about 52 miles above the mouth of the stream and 30 miles above the Mahoning Creek flood control dam. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Punxsutawney and Smicksburg, Pa.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for increasing the channel capacity by excavating to new invert grades, increasing channel widths and minor straightening and shortening of the reach for a distance of 19,350 feet, together with the construction of a system of dikes, retaining walls, and flood walls throughout the damage reach. The project is designed to accommodate discharges slightly greater than that of the maximum flood of record. The existing project was, authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated Federal cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $2.- 655,000; the estimated non-Federal cost is $100,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Contract plans and specifications for unit No. 1 were completed, bids advertised, the contract awarded and construction started in May 1946. Clearing of the banks of the stream in the work area was well under way. Ap- proximately 29,600 cubic yards of unclassified excavation was removed from the left and right banks and from the pilot channel. Contract plans and specifications for unit No. 2 were completed except for cer- tain revisions. Negotiations were under way with owning agencies regarding facilities that are affected by construction. A real-estate planning report was in -preparation together with agreements and related work in connection with relocations. The total costs were $143,150.70, all for new work. The total ex- penditures were $117,251.89. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The construction of unit No. 1 of the channel improvemenit project is approximately 6 percent complete. Work remaining to be done consists of preliminary work; completing 1810 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 construction of units Nos. 1 and 2; the acquisition of land, and settle- ments in connection with railroads, highways, and utilities.

ELKINS, OHIO RIVER BASIN, W. VA. Location.-The city of Elkins is located on the Tygart River in north central Randolph County, W. Va., approximately 155 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa. It is situated at the downstream end of a long, broad reach of the upper Tygart Valley, approximately 75 miles above the mouth of the river. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for Elkins, W. Va.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for diverting flood discharges from the upstream arm of the loop of the natural river channel into an artificial cut-off channel, thereby by-passing the city of Elkins. The improvement consists of a fully impervious rolled-earth upstream diversion dike, approximately 1,250 feet long; a diversion or cut-off channel, approximately 1,600 feet long, 140; feet wide and 15 feet deep; a downstream protection dike, approxi- mately 2,500 feet long; controlled inlet and outlet conduits through the dikes; a pondage basin within the protected area to store storm run-off during diversion periods; and an incidental pondage basin upstream from the diversion dike to aid low-water flow. The struc- tures of the project will be adequate to provide complete protection for Elkins against the maximum flood of reasonable expectancy. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 28, 1938. The estimated Federal cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $1,750,- 000; the estimated non-Federal cost is $40,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies.

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 Su- perior, 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 fluctu- ations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and baro- metric conditions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. 1827 1828 'REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 The estimated cost for new work, made in 1946, is $52,000. 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.). Terminal facilities.-There are two small privately owned fishing 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.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, $2,000, will be applied to new work in advance planning on the project during the fiscal year 1947. The additional sum of $50,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for new work dredging required under the ap- proved project.

GRAND MARAIS HARBOR, MINN. Location.-The harbor is situated on the north shore of Lake Su- perior, 106 miles northeasterly from Duluth, Minn. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 9.) Existing project.-This provides for rock-filled timber crib break- water piers 350 feet in length from the east and west points of the bay to narrow the entrance; for constructing concrete sea walls across the ledge at the southeast corner of the harbor; and for dredging an anchorage area of 36.5 acres to a depth of 16 feet with depths near the entrance of 18 and 20 feet. All depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary seasonal variation of water level extends from RIVERS AND HARBORS--DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1829 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 1935, vas $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.)

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are two general merchandise wharves, and several fish wharves, all privately owned. These facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Maintenance surveys were made at a cost and expenditure of $1,000. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1937. Project depth of 16 feet is available in the anchorage basin dredged by the United States and by private parties under permit. Under permits to private parties, 420,795 cubic yards have been dredged since 1922 without cost to the United States. No private dredging was done during the fiscal year. Project depths of 18 and 20 feet are available in the entrance channel. The concrete sea walls are in excellent condition. The breakwaters 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 $124,961.60 for maintenance, a total of $334,781.51. The total expenditures were $334,781.51. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1947. The sum of $1,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for maintenance surveys with Government plant and hired labor.

Terminal facilities.-Except that the facilities for handling pack- age freight, lumber, and general merchandise are susceptible of im- provement, the terminal facilities, consisting of wharves, ore docks, and grain elevators, are believed to be adequate for existing commerce, and are being increased as necessity demands. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The following main- tenance work was done by United States plant: 144,911 cubic yards of material were dredged from Superior Harbor Basin and Cross Channel; 781 tons of stone were placed in repairing the Superior Entry rubble mound breakwaters; and 1,193 tons of stone were placed and 6,682 cubic yards of material excavated in repairs to Superior Entry south pier. The costs of the various items of work done during the year were as follows: $63,245.74 for dredging; $10,780.28 for breakwater repairs; $14,279.40 for pier repairs; $3,067.20 for safeguarding United States property; $2,361.80 for maintenance of parks and grounds; and $16,669.06 for inspections, surveys, harbor patrol, and contingencies. The total costs were $110,403.48, all for maintenance. The total ex- penditures were $112,776.01. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. The following work has been accomplished: Dredging of channels and basins under the existing project was completed in 1935; new piers, aggregating 3,468 feet in length, of concrete on stone-filled cribs founded on piles, completed in 1901 at Duluth Canal; new piers aggregating 3,680 feet in length, of concrete on piles, completed in 1909 at Superior entry; converging breakwaters comprising 4,205 linear feet of rubble mound, 900 linear feet of stone-filled cribs and concrete superstructure pierheads founded on piles, and 896 linear feet of concrete shore revetments on pile foundations, completed in 1912.

PORT WING HARBOR, WIS. Location.-The harbor is situated on the south shore of Lake Su- perior, 34 miles easterly from Duluth. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 96, Lake Superior.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of two paral- lel piers at the entrance 200 feet apart and 800 and 825 feet long, 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 preserve 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 fluctuations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric con- ditions, 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.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There is one public wharf and one private wharf, both in poor condition. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce, consisting of a few small fish boats. Operations and results during fiseal year.-Maintenance surveys were made at a cost of $340.96. The expenditures were $321.95. 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 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 1838 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 the east pier, dredged to a depth of 15 feet below low-water datum in 1911. The inner 85 linear feet of the east pier and the revetment were destroyed by a flash flood during June 1946. The remaining portions of the piers are in very poor condition due to decay, wear of ice, and settlement of stone and slab filling. At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depth was 5 feet for a width of 100 feet between the piers and 8.5 feet for a width of 150 feet in the lake approach. To complete the project it would be neces- sary to widen the chanel 50 feet between the piers and to extend the turning slip 300 feet and the revetment about 450 feet. The total costs were $120,154.64, of which $48,355.23 was for new work and $71,799.41 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $120,327.21. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, in- cluding an allotment made during July 1946, $15,691, will be applied to maintenance as follows: Accounts payable__--------------------------------- ------- $70. 76 Piers: Repairs to outer 45 linear feet of west pier with Government plant and hired labor during summer of 1946-------------__ 15, 000. 00 Maintenance surveys by hired labor----------------------------- 620. 24 Total maintenance---------------------------------__ 15, 691. 00 The piers are in very poor condition and major repairs are neces- sary to maintain the project.

CORNUCOPIA HARBOR, WIS. Location.-The harbor is located at the mouth of the Siskiwit River on the south shore of Lake Superior, 49 miles east from Duluth, Minn. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 96.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 50 feet wide and 10 feet deep between the piers constructed and maintained by local interests from Siskiwit Bay to a turning basin 200 feet long, 8 feet deep, and 140 feet wide, with a maximum width of about 180 feet; and two inner channels 50 feet wide and 8 feet deep, with lengths of 150 and 300 feet. All depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is taken at 601.6 feet above mean tide level 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, made in 1937, was $11,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act ap- proved August 26, 1937 (Senate committee print, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-About 1,100 linear feet of privately owned docking space have been improved for small fishing boats. These facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance surveys were made at a cost of $148.96. The expenditures were $227.30. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. The controlling depths were 6 feet in the entrance channel and 3 feet in the inner slips. The total costs were $20,672.04, of which $10,190.08 was for new work and $10,481.96 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $20,672.04. 1840 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

ONTONAGON HARBOR, MICH. Location.-The harbor is situated on the south shore of Lake Superior. It consists of the improvement of the mouth of Ontonagon River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 95.) Previous project.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867. For further details see page 1931 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1406 of Annual Report for 1938. Ewisting project.-This provides for a flared lake'approach chan- nel 17 feet deep with widths narrowing from 400 feet at the outer end to 150 feet opposite the outer end of the west pier; a channel between the piers 150 feet wide, 17 feet deep in the outer 250 feet, and 15 feet deep in the inner 2,200 feet; an inner basin 15 feet deep and 900 feet long, extending between lines 50 feet from the existing wharves on each side of the river, the maximum width being 285 feet; and for maintenance of this channel, basin, and the 4,990 feet of entrance piers. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is taken at 601.6 feet above mean tide level 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 1937, was $19,500, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual maintenance is $27,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 Channel 17 feet deep and 150 feet wide through the H. Doc. No. 602, 61st Cong., 2d sess. bar and 15 feet deep and 100 feet wide between the piers, and pier maintenance.

ARMY, 1946 Terminal facilities.-There are no publicly owned wharves. There are one merchandise and coal wharf, one coal wharf, and a few small fish wharves in active use. The terminal facilities are considered ade- quate for the commerce of the harbor. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The following mainte- nance work was performed by United States plant: 45,183 cubic yards of material was dredged in the entrance channel and inner basin; and 182 tons of stone was placed on the piers. The costs of the mainte- tance work done during the year were: $26,151.84 for dredging; $1,232.57 for pier repairs; and $155.97 for maintenance surveys, a total of $27,540.38, all for maintenance. The total expenditures were $26,917.64. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1938. The piers are in fair condition except for minor repairs needed on stone covered portions. The total costs were $19,619.40 for new work and $609,034.03 for maintenance, a total of $628,653.43. The total expenditures were $628,289.52.

KEWEENAW WATERWAY, MICH. Location.-This waterway is a navigable channel, minimum width 300 feet, 25 miles long, partly natural and partly artificial, across Keweenaw Point, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 944.) Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) A waterway across Keweenaw Peninsula via Portage Lake, 25 feet deep and 300 feet wide, increased to 400 feet through Portage Lake below the shoal at its head and with a straight cut-off channel from Princess Point to Messners Point. (b) Flaring eastern entrance from Keweenaw Bay, 28 feet deep in the outer portion, diminishing to 25 feet in the inner portion, 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 feet long 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 1946, is $7,105,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $60,000. On account of its length, the waterway is affected in a very slight degree by lake fluctuations of short duration. The annual fluctua- tion is about 1 foot. 1846 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Sept. 19,1890 Acquisition of the waterway; for a 16-foot channel H. Ex. Doc.

Terminal facilities.-The six coal docks, -three general merchandise wharves, and several minor wharves, all privately.owned, are served by improvements made along Keweenaw Waterway. The city of Han- cock 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.-Plans and specifications and preliminary work for breakwaters and revetments were made at a cost of $9,852.24, all for new work. Maintenance.-The following maintenance work was performed by United States plant: 81,122 cubic yards of material were dredged in the Stilling Basin, Upper Canal, Lily,Pond, and Portage Lake; and 2,203 tons of stone were placed on the breakwaters at the upper entrance. The costs of the various items of maintenance work done during the year were as follows: $47,134.73 for dredging; $45,920.14 for break- water repairs; and $9,546.01 for inspections, surveys, preliminary plans, and waterway patrol, a total of $102,600.88, all for maintenance. The total costs were $112,453.12 and the total expenditures were $110,450. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 73 per- cent complete. The breakwaters are in good condition except for a weakness occurring in about 300 feet of the substructure of the break- water at the lower entrance, and the stone-covered portions of the RIVERS AND HARBORS--DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1847 breakwaters at the upper entrance are in need of minor repairs. The remaining timber revetments along the waterway are in poor condi- tion. The mooring pier at the Lily Pond requires repairs to halt movement, and permit dredging to project depth adjacent thereto, and that at the Portage River harbor of refuge is in good condition. Annual redredging of channels will be required indefinitely. The controlling depth on June 30, 1946, was 25 feet. To complete the proj- ect there remains the extension of the lower entrance breakwater, and the necessary alteration or replacement of structures due to deepening of channels. For work performed with regular funds, the costs of the existing project were $5,008,252.17 for new work and $2,683,348.24 for mainte- nance, a total of $7,691,600.41. The, total expenditures were $7,698,645.79. 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 $7,874,426.18 of which $5,191,077.94 was for new work and $2,683,348.24 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $7,881,471.56. 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.

GRAND TRAVERSE BAY HARBOR, MICH. Location.-The harbor is located at the mouth of the Traverse River on the eastern shore of the Keweenaw Peninsula about 20 miles north- easterly from the Portage Entry to Keweenaw Waterway. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 94.) Existing project.--This provides for two parallel piers having lengths of 500 feet and 270 feet for the north and south piers, respec- tively; for a revetment on the north side of the entrance 150 feet in length; for an entrance channel between the piers 50 feet wide and 12 feet deep'; and for a harbor basin with a depth of 10 feet for a maxi- mum width of 200 feet and a maximum length of 450 feet. Project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary sea- sonal 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 1946, is $169,500. The latest (1945) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $1,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H.Doc. No. 446, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-The improvement authorized by the act of March 2, 1945, is subject to the requirement that local interests-- (1) 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. (2) Establish a competent and properly constituted public body empowered to regulate the use, growth, and free development of har- bor facilities (exclusive of Federal property) with the understanding that harbor facilities shall be open to all on equal and reasonable terms. (3) Hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and maintenance of the-works. (4) Provide, without cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project, in- cluding suitable spoil disposal areas when and as required, and remove all structures from the area to be improved. None of the above requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are several privately owned fishing wharves. 1850 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Operations and results duriing the fiscal year.-New work consist- ing of advance planning on construction of the project, was done at a cost of $5,560.95. The expenditures were $5,576.09. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 3 percent completed. At the end of the fiscal year the controlling depth in the entrance channel was 3 feet for a width of 20 feet. The total cost was $5,560.95, all for new work. The total expenditures were $5,576.09. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, $3,939.05, including accounts receivable, will be applied to advance planning on construction of the authorized project. New work consisting of the construction of entrance piers and dredging of channels will be required under the approved project. The additional sum of $160,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for this work.

GRAND MARAIS, HARBOR OF REFUGE, MICH. Location.-The harbor is situated on the south shore of Lake Supe- rior 314 miles east of Duluth, Minn., and 93 miles west of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 9.) Existing project.-This provides for parallel timber-crib piers 500 feet apart--aggregate length 3,450 feet--extending out to a depth in the lake of 22 feet at ordinary low water; for closing the natural en- trance by a pile dike 5,770 feet long; and for dredging a channel 300 feet wide and 18 feet deep between the piers, and 500 feet wide and 20 feet deep at the lake approach. The project depth is referred to low- water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary 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, clue 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 Bxstmg project except for pile dike--------- (Specified in act.)

No. 1286, 64th Cong., 1st sess. Terminal facilities.--There is no rail connection with the harbor. There are one general merchandise wharf and several small fish wharves. The facilities are considered adequate for present needs. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging was done during August and September 1945 by United States hopper dredge Meade and a total of 89,332 cubic yards was removed. The costs of the work done during the year were $18,163.88 for dredging and $991.33 for surveys, a total of $19,155.21, all for maintenance. The total expenditures were $19,048.07. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 85 per- cent 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1855 was dredged between the piers from the lake to the bay; and a pile dike was built in 1895-97 to close a 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 13 feet. The costs were $355,885.29 for new work and $486,706.97 for maintenance, a total of $842,592.26. The total expenditures were $842,428.84. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, $323.56, including accounts receivable, will be applied to maintenance surveys during fiscal year 1947 and to the payment of $178.77 accounts payable on June 30, 1946. Annual dredging is required to maintain the authorized dimensions of the project.

WHITEFISH POINT HARBOR, MICH. Location.-The harbor is located on the south shore of Lake Supe- rior 40 miles northwesterly from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and 49 miles easterly from Grand Marais, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 92.) Existing project.-This provides for two converging breakwaters 140 feet apart at their outer ends, having lengths of 430 feet and 720 feet for the north and south breakwaters, respectively; and for a harbor basin within the breakwaters 12 feet deep with a maximum width of 230 feet and a length of 625 feet. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Supe- rior, 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 condi- tions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimated cost for new work, made in 1946, is $227,500. The latest (1945) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $1;000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc.No. 446, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-The improvement authorized by the act of March 2, 1945, is subject to the requirement that local interests- (1) Provide and maintain, without cost to the United States and in accordance with plans approved by the Chief of Engineers, a suit- able and adequate public wharf for the accommodation of transient vessels. (2) Establish a competent and properly constituted public body em- powered to regulate the use, growth, and free development of harbor facilities (exclusive of Federal property) with the understanding that harbor facilities shall be open to all on equal and reasonable terms. (3) Hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and maintenance of the works. (4) Provide, without cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project. None of the above requirements have been complied with.

WARROAD HARBOR AND RIVER, MINN. Location.-Warroad Harbor and River are at the southwestern extremity of Lake of the Woods, 36 miles west of the mouth of Rainy River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 84, Lake of the Woods.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging and maintaining a channel 8 feet deep from the landing at Warroal to deep water in the lake, the channel being 9,200 feet long, 200 feet wide within the harbor and 300 feet wide out in the lake; for a turning basin 500 by 900 feet to a depth of 8 feet; and for a pile-brush-stone jetty on the north side of the channel extending from the shore 700 feet into the lake. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake of the Woods, which is 1,056 feet above mean tide at New York. 1858 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1928, is $118,000. The latest (1928) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 Dredging bar at mouth of Warroad River-........ Specified in act.

The latest published map is opposite page 1984 in the Annual Report for 1911. Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of June 24, 1926, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the project be cur- tailed by reducing the channel width to 100 feet and the turning basin to 250 feet (H. Doc. No. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-A pile-and-plank wharf 80 feet in length has been provided by the village of Warroad for free use by the public. Two commercial companies' fish wharves 60 feet in length are not open to the public, one of which is served by a spur track. . There are also a number of minor wharves. These facilities are ample for the needs of existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preliminary work in connection with maintenance dredging was done at a cost of $2,573.77. The total expenditures were $3,536.56. 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 condition. The turning basin at the Warroad wharves was completed in 1911, and a channel 200 feet wide and 8 feet deep was completed in 1915. T he controlling depth in the channel is 4 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 necessary. 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 donq, 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 $283,701.96 for maintenance, a total of $367,507.32. The total expenditures were $401,114.56.

Location.-The Baudette River has its source in the swamp lands of northern Minnesota and flows in a northeasterly direction to Rainy River, its mouth being about 10 miles from where Rainy River empties into Lake of the Woods. (See U. S. Geological Survey Map of Minn- esota.) EEfisting project.-This provides for dredging a channel 6 feet deep and 75 feet wide extending from the mouth of Baudette River upstream a distance of about 2,000 feet with an increase in width at the inner end to form a turning basin with a maximum width of 230 feet. The project depth is referred to low-water datum at Baudette, which is taken at 1,056 feet above mean tide level at New York. The ordinary seasonal variation of water level is about 2 feet. The estimated cost for new work revised in 1946 was $26,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual maintenance is $800. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 2,1919 Dredging___________ _________________ ____ _____ H. Doc.

Local cooperation.-The improvement authorized by the act of March 2, 1945, is subject to the requirement that local interests- (1) Furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and sub- sequent maintenance as required. (2) Give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will maintain a suitable public wharf open to all on equal terms. (3) Hold and save the United States free from any claims for damages resulting from the improvement. None of the above requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-The village of Baudette has a timber wharf, and its use is open to all on equal terms. The State of Minnesota has constructed a boathouse and warehouse adjoining the public wharf. In addition to the foregoing, there are several privately owned small and little used wharves on both sides of the river. Operations and results -during fiscal year.--Maintenance surveys were made at a cost and expenditure of $500. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 23 percent complete. The available depth in the channel on June 30, 1946, was 6 feet for a width of 75 feet and for a length of about 1,000 feet from the mouth of the river. To complete the project there remains the extension of the channel by dredging. The costs and expenditures were $4,524.68 for new work and $13,- 042.13 for maintenance, a total of $17,566.81.

Lake Survey Chart No. 701.) 1867 721584-47-pt. 1, vol. 2-34 1868 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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. Emisting 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 concrete superstructure.; the west pier is formed of stone-filled plank cribs. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 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: Act Work authorized Document Mar. 3,1005 Breakwaters and outer harbor __------------------- H. Doc.

Local cooperation.--Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip there are two coal and building material wharves, two fishing wharves, and numerous lum- beryard slips. While these facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, it is believed that a wharf, with rail connec- tion and under public control, should be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 14,535 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $11,350.57. Construction of a rubble mound shore connection at the inner end of the east breakwater cost $1,622.22. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $12,972.79 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $12,360.30. RIVERS AND HARBORS---MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1869 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed- in 1917. The breakwaters enclosing the basin and the dredging of the channel to 18 feet over practically all the area below the car-ferry slip were completed in 1915. The channel above the slip was dredged to ledge rock in 1917, thereby completing the project. The plank-crib pier was completed in 1909. The breakwaters are in generally good condition. The superstructure of the plank-crib pier is in a very dilapidated condition, but immediate repairsthereto 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 17.5 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 and expenditures under the existing project were $307,252.18 for new work and $177,- 286.21 for maintenance, a total of $484,538.39. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U.

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 muncipal 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 Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric 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.

Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip, there are numerous wharves for handling coal, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities. The city of Marinette has provided a public wharf. The facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, except that there is need for a public wharf owned by the city of Me- nominee with warehouse and railway connection. Operations and results dwring fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 38,475 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $11,938.82. Placing 973 tons of stone as riprap along the north pier cost $3,309.65. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $15;248.47 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $15,272.59. 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 Marinette 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 dredg- ing of the channel below the Marinette municipal wharf and enlarging the turning basin were completed in 1938. The inner 654 feet of the north pier is no longer essential for the preservation of the channel and is therefore maintained 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 10.5 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 $470,772.29 for maintenance, a total of $620,276.78. The total expenditures were $621,676.60. 1872 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

OCONTO HARBOR, WIS. Location.--On the west shore of Green Bay, distant about 31 miles northeasterly from Green Bay Harbor, Wis., and about 25 miles southwesterly from Menominee Harbor, Mich. and Wis., at the mouth of Oconto River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 703.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882. A modification of this project was approved by the Chief RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1873 of Engineers March 11, 1897. For further details see page 1934 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1427 of Annual Report for 1938. Eaisting project.-This provides for protecting the river mouth by parallel piers 140 feet apart extending from the shore line on either side of the Oconto River, 1,350 and 2,200 feet in length for the north and south piers, respectively, and for a channel 15 feet deep at low- water datum from that depth in the bay up the river, a distance of 800 feet above its mouth to the upper end of the turning basin, a total length of 3,800 feet, varying in width from 150 feet at the outer end, increasing to 300 feet near the outer end of the south pier, reducing to 100 feet between the piers and enlarging to 375 feet in the turning basin. The piers are formed of slab- and stone-filled piling, about 70 feet of the outer end of the south pier having been capped with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1909, was $75,000, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1917) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 2, 1882 Piers, except for inner 300 feet of south pier and Annual Report, 1881, p. 2066. 250 feet of north pier built by city. 1 June 25, 1910 Present project dimensions of channel and turn- H.

The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-There were no opera- tions or costs at this harbor during the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1912. The piers were completed in 1885 and the dredging in 1912. The north pier is washed out. The south pier is in poor condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 7.2 feet in the entrance channel and 5 feet over a width of about 80 feet on the north side of the turning basin along the municipal wharf. The river is available for logging and rafting for a distance of about 50 miles above its mouth. The costs and expenditures under the existing project were $46,184.25 for new work and $27,194.16 for maintenance, a total of $73,378.41. 1874 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

FOX RIVER, WIS. Location.-This river rises in Columbia County, Wis., and flows in a northerly direction into Green Bay. Its length is about 176 miles. The Wolf River, physically the main river but by 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 modi- fied 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 1878 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 100 feet, with necessary widening at bends; for the construction and reconstruction of 27 locks and 16 dams; for a concrete retaining wall at Kaukauna; for construction and maintenance of harbors having depths of 6 feet on Lake Winnebago; for widening Neenah Channel to 100 feet, with a 6-foot depth for a length of about 1 mile; and for dredging, snagging, and otherwise improving Wolf River from its mouth to New London, a distance of 47 miles, the depth to be 4 feet. All depths are referred to standard low water. Ordinary and extreme fluctuations of water level above and below mean stages on various parts of.the improvement, -due to floods and other causes, are about as follows: Ordinary fluctua- Extreme fluctua- tions tions Place Above Below Above Below mean mean mean mean stage stage stage stage Feet Feet Feet Feet Lower Fox River at De Pere Dam_--------------------------- 1.0 1.4 2.5 4.0 Lake Winnebago _-_ ... ----.--------------- 1. 2 1. 3 2. 2 3. 7 Upper Fox River at Berlin Dam__----------------------------- 2. 7 1.4 5. 7 2. 0 Wolf River at New London-------------------------------- 5. 0 2. 6 8. 8 3-0 The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1928, is $1,398,000 for the upper river and $635,000 for the lower river; total $2,033,- 000, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000 for the upper river if project dimensions are once fully obtained and $110,000 for the lower river; total, $130,000. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care of the locks and dams made in 1936 is $100,000.

Terminal facilities.-The wharf and landing facilities are in gen- eral adequate for the accommodation of existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-Maintenance.-Opera- tions consisted of stone paving and other miscellaneous repairs and improvements to canal banks at the following localities: Above and below De Pere lock; left bank below Kaukauna first lock; and right bank below Kaukauna guard lock; also removing loose ledge rock, debris, and other materials from canal below Kaukauna fourth lock and river channel above Appleton upper dam, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $12,718.38 for maintenance. Operating and care.-Operations consisted of making necessary repairs to locks, dams, canal banks, and lock houses, including re- building lower gates at Kaukauna fourth and first locks; and remov- ing debris and mud from lock chamber and scraping and painting upper and lower steel gates at Portage lock, at a cost of $27,081.30. The locks and dams were operated in accordance with the existing project and gages were read at a cost of $119,980.48. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost of operating and care was $147,061.78. The total cost of all work was $159,780.16. The total net expenditures were $158,113.66. 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 rebuilt; five additional locks and dams have been built by the United States. (See existing project for year of completion of each.) The structures and the dredging in pools have increased the original depths generally about 2 feet. The controlling depths at mean low water at the close of the fiscal year were as follows: Fox River: Feet De Pere to 2 miles above mouth of Wolf River -------------------- 6.

The head of navigation for boat traffic is New London on the Wolf River and Portage on the upper Fox, except that during high water on the Wis- consin River boats can proceed from Portage to the Mississippi River. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is dredging in the upper Fox River and the upper portion of the Wolf River; also rock removal and deepening Neenah Channel on lower Fox River. Deepening Neenah Channel is no longer desired by navigation inter- ests. The remaining rock removal is not needed unless there is a 1882 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 material increase in commerce. Additional dredging on the upper river is no longer considered necessary and is not justifiable from an economic standpoint. The costs under the existing project were $871,- 724.01 for new work and $3,900,995.88 for maintenance, including $1,405,185.89 for operating and care, a total of $4,772,719.89. The total expenditures were $4,776,519.41. 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 per- manent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, including accounts receivable, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1946_ ------------- $71. 97 Maintenance: Operation of U.

STURGEON BAY AND LAKE MICHIGAN SHIP CANAL, WIS. Location.-This improvement is on the west shore of Lake Michi- gan, distant about 52 miles northeasterly from Green Bay and about 128 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S, Lake Survey Chart No. 728.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873, and June 14, 1880. The United States assumed posession 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. Ewisting 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 721584--47--pt. 1, vol. 2-- 35 1884 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 feet west of the east entrance of the revetted canal, a length of about 0.6 mile; thence a channel 22 feet deep through an additional 6,400 feet of revetted canal and through Sturgeon Bay to the vicinity of Sherwood Point, a length of about 8 miles, the total length of channel being about 8.6 miles; the width of channel being 600 feet in Lake Michigan, reducing to 200 feet through the harbor and 130 to 220 feet through the revetted canal, thence 250 feet through Sturgeon Bay to a point 5,400 feet northwest of the railroad bridge in the city of Sturgeon Bay and thence 500 feet to the vicinity of Sherwood Point; 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 break- waters are formed of stone-filled piling and timber cribs and have been provided with concrete superstructures; the revetments are formed of piling and timber, 886 feet having been repaired with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The 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: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1873 Breakwaters 1_ _----------------------------- H. Ex. Doc.

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 Sturgeon Bay has provided a public wharf. There is also an inactive large RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1885 stone wharf located about 5 miles northwesterly from the city of Sturgeon Bay. Operations and results during fiscal year-New wiorkl.-Operations consisted of commencing the dredging to provide project depth of 20 feet in the turning basin between the city and the Bushman docks. A total of 5,500 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $2,994.39. Maintenance.-Dredging42,375 cubic yards of material for restora- tion of project depth in the channel through the canal cost $22,541.43. Placing 1,974 tons of stone as riprap along the revetments and the south breakwater cost $7,289.46. Repairs to 600 linear feet of south revetment, including reinforcing and rebuilding of the substructure where necessary, and backfilling, in progress at the close of the pre- vious fiscal year, was completed at a cost of $22,580.05. Repairs were made to 500 linear feet of the south revetment, including reinforcing and rebuilding the substructure where necessary, and backfilling, at a cost of $56,626.80. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $112,032.13, of which $2,994.39 was for new work and $109,037.74 was for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $102,338.97. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was completed in 1942. Work is in progress on the last modification of the project providing for a turn- ing 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 widening the middle section of the canal was completed in 1942.. Pile revetments require repairs and backfilling. The entrance piers are in good condition. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 22 feet. The costs under the existing project were $728,- 297.39 for new work and $1,186,632.98 for maintenance, a total of $1,914,930.37. The total expenditures were $1,914,063.90. In addi- tion, the sum of $425,259.17 (including $189,319.35 under previous 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 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1946------------------------------ $866. 47 New work: Complete dredging a turning basin with United States plant, July 1946--- ----------------------------------------- 8, 000. 00 Maintenance: Operation of the U.

Previousprojects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873; RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1887 March 3, 1875; July 5, 1884; and March 3, 1899. For further details see page 1935 of Annual Report of 1915 and page 1445, Annual Report for 1938. Existing,project.-This provides for an outer harbor 14 feet deep enclosed by a north pier, 1,102 feet long, extending approximately normal to the shore, and a south breakwater, 1,530 feet long, extend- ing from the shore at a point about 1,000 feet south of the remaining 481 feet of the pier on the south side of the channel at the mouth of Ahnapee River, and for a channel of same depth as outer harbor, except where rock is encountered at less depth, extending from that depth in the lake up the river a distance of 1,000 feet from its mouth, a total length of about 2,100 feet; this channel varies in width from 175 to 80 feet at Second Street Bridge. The piers are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling and the breakwater of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling. The north pier and south breakwater have been provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a 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 1907, was $140,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1917) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,500.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of placing 983 tons of stone as riprap along the north pier, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $2,250.37 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $2,486.47. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was coim- 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 year were 14.6 feet in the entrance channel to the outer end of south stub pier, decreasing to 12 feet to the coal wharf at the inner end of the north pier, thence 9 feet in a narrow 1888 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 channel to Second Street Bridge. The Ahnapee River is navigable for a distance of about 2 miles from its mouth for vessels drawing not more than 4 feet. The costs under the existing project were $99,236.15 for new work and $247,612.44 for maintenance, a total of $346,848.59. The total expenditures were $347,084.69.

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 1.915 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 super- structure. The north breakwater is formed of concrete caissons and the north-shore connection is a rubble mound. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $690,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $10,000.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 37,065 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a total cost of $12,260.35 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $12,240.65. 1890 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 con- nection, except for a gap of 150 feet about 830 feet from the shore- ward end, and the'removal of the outer 706.5 linear feet of the north pier were completed in 1937. Dredging the entrance channel and interior basin was completed in 1938. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of removal of the outer shoal and an additional 700 linear feet of the north pier, and closing the gap in the north-shore connection which is not considered neces- sary under present conditions. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 21 feet in the entrance channel between the piers and over an area 500 by 500 feet in the turning basin.

TWO RIVERS HARBOR, WIS. Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 82 miles northerly from Milwaukee and about 101 miles from Green Bay via Sturgeon Bay Canal. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 73.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871. For further details see page 1936 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1450 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for two entrance piers at the mouth of Twin Rivers, 245 feet apart at the outer ends and 750 feet apart at the shore line, having lengths of about 1,642 feet and 1,720 feet for the north and south piers, respectively; for a channel 2,600 feet long and 18 feet deep extending from that depth in the lake to an inner basin 'of the same depth at the confluence of the East and West Twin Rivers, the channel varying in width from 500 feet at the outer end to 200 feet between the piers; for a revetment about 450 feet long on the north side at the inner end of the channel and for a small stilling basin beyond the shore line on the north side of the channel. The piers are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, and have been provided with concrete superstructure; the pile revet- ment on north side of channel is also provided with concrete super- structure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. 1892 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 41,080 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $15,916.63. Placing 983 tons of stone as riprap along the south pier cost $3,429.23. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $19,345.86 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $19,339.29. 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. The dredging was substantially completed in 1937. The work re- maining to be done to complete the existing project is dredging a 10-foot width along each side of the lakeward portion of the entrance channel between the piers. This dredging was necessarily omitted to avoid removal of riprap along the entrance piers and thereby endangering them. The present width of channel is considered ade- quate for present and reasonably prospective commerce. The con- trolling depths at low-water datum at. the close of the fiscal year were 18.3 feet on the entrance bar, 18.5 feet in the channel between the piers and 17.6 feet in the inner basin. East and West Twin Rivers are navigable for about 3 and 7 miles, respectively, from the harbor piers for craft drawing not more than 4 feet. The costs under the existing project were $74,721.66 for new work and $518,261.60 for maintenance, a total of $592,983.26. The total expenditures were $592,976.69.

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 1894 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 by subsequent River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1881, September 19, 1890, June 3, 1896, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1937 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1453 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an outer harbor or stilling basin formed by two breakwaters extending from the shore on either side of the mouth of the Manitowoc River 425 feet apart at their outer ends and diverging to a distance of about 2,325 feet apart at their inner ends, having lengths of 2,540 feet and 2,290 feet for the north and south breakwaters, respectively; for a channel 21 feet deep, extending from that depth in the lake through the outer harbor to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 2,500 feet, with a width of about 650 feet; for a channel 21 feet deep in Manitowoc River from the river mouth to the second railway bridge, a distance of approxi- mately 1.7 miles, with widths of 180 feet at the mouth, reducing to 150 feet at the upper end, with intermediate reductions and enlarge- ments; for removal of old north stub pier at the river entrance; and for dredging in the outer harbor an approach channel 21 feet deep to a proposed city terminal on the lake front south of the shore end of the south breakwater. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling, all of which are capped with concrete superstructures. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctu- ations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1942, is $507,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $19,500.

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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1895 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 suitable wharf with warehouse and railway connection, which should be open to the general public. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 28,975 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth,,by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $14,- 616.08 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $14,570.92. 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 controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 21 feet in the channel through the outer basin and in the river to the second ~railway bridge. The costs under the existing project were $436,752.02 for new work and $562,746.79 for maintenance, a total of $999,498.81. The total expenditures were $999,504.65. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1946__________________________ _ $917. 81 Maintenance : Operation of U.

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 revetment on the north side of the channel at the mouth of the Sheboygan River for a total length of 3,829 feet, and a south pier 2,750 feet long extending into the lake about normal to the shore on the south side of the mouth of the river, and for a turning basin 900 feet wide and 20 feet deep in the outer harbor with an entrance channel about 3,500 feet long through the south side of the basin, the depth being 25 feet from the lakeward end to a point 500 feet shoreward of the end of the north breakwater, decreasing to 21 feet in the next 300 feet and continuing at the latter depth to the inner end of the improved chan- RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1897 nel, the widths to be 400 feet at the lakeward end and 500 feet through the turning basin, decreasing to 200 feet at the river mouth. The north breakwater is formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete cais- sons, and piling, all of which is capped with concrete superstructure. The south pier and north stub pier and revetment are formed of timber cribs and piling, all of which have also been provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Mich- igaln, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a 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.

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. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Operations consisted of dredging 30,398 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $11,- 403.48 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $10,678.24. 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 generally 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 existing project were $446,771.38 for new work and $598,619.28 for maintenance, a total of $1,045,390.66. The total expenditures were $1,045,535.65. 1898 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1899 12. 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 Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a north breakwater and shore connection approximately 2,537 feet long, extending from the shore about 1,350 feet north of the remaining 125 feet of the old north pier; removal of 650 feet of the north pier; for extending a privately owned south breakwater about 456 feet into the lake to form an 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 Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time.

(See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 743.) Previous projects.-The original project for improvement of Mil- waukee Harbor was adopted by act of March 3, 1843, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852; April 10, 1869, and March 3, 1899. The original project for the harbor of refuge was adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. The project of June 13, 1902, consolidating the harbor and harbor of refuge was modified by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905. For further details see page 1938 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1462 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a north breakwater 9,954 feet long and a south breakwater 9,671 feet, more or less, in length, extend- ing to the shore, thereby forming a protected basin in which is being developed a commercial harbor by the city of Milwaukee, the width 1902 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 of entrance between the two breakwaters being about 500 feet. It further provides for the protection of the river mouth by two piers, 358 feet apart at the outer ends and 552 feet apart at the shore line, 1,656 and 1,608 feet in length for the north and south.piers. respec- tively; for a channel 21 feet deep, extending from that depth in the lake to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 2,850 feet, the width of channel outside the piers to be 600 feet; for dredging chan- nels 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 ex- tended, on the Menomonee River, and to the South Kinnickinnic Ave- nue Bridge on the Kinnickinnic River; for dredging to 21 feet a por- tion 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 entrance piers are formed of concrete caissons, stone-filled timber cribs, and piling and are also provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake 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 1946, was $4,806,000 exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects.

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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of placing 983 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $4,834.42 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $5,394.13. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modifications of August 30, 1935, and March 2, 1945, was completed 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 modifica- tion 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 completed in 1905 and the south pier in 1910. The south breakwater was completed in 1929 except for placing additional riprap and repairing about 756 feet damaged by a storm of October 22-23, 1929. Rebuilding the 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 com- pleted 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 Milwau- kee dredged the area in the outer harbor south of the inner-entrance piers and lakeward of the pierhead line to more than 21 feet below datum without cost to the United States. The concrete superstructures on the timber crib section of the north breakwater and on the harbor piers are showing some disintegration, and require repairs. The south breakwater and shore connection are in good condition. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 21 feet and more in the entrance channel through the outer basin and between the inner piers. The costs under the existing project were $4,537,812.20 for new work, $852,619.36 for maintenance, a total of $5,390,431.56. The total expenditures were $5,391,106.70. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1946 $79. 99 Maintenance: Operation of U.

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 fur- ther 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 ex- tending from the city rubble mound about 1,650 feet south of the re- maining 22.5 feet of pier on the south side of the channel at the mouth of the river. It further provides for a channel, 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 dis- tance 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 lake- ward of the harbor entrance, to a minimum depth of 25 feet. The breakwaters and south stub pier are formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling, all being capped with concrete superstructures. The north stub pier is formed of stone-filled steel- sheet piling. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945 was $771,000, 1906 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects and exclu- sive of inner 300 linear feet of pile pier and 450 linear feet of rubble mound, originally part of south breakwater but no longer considered necessary. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $28,000.

The city has provided a public wharf with warehouse. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 13,725 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $3,843.17. Placing 1,948 tons of stone as riprap along the north breakwater cost $6,744.10. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $10,587.27 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $12,602.41. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modifications of August 26, 1937, and March 2, 1945, was substantially completed in 1924. Preliminary work has been done on the removal of shoals and dredging the river channel, and 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 break- water and shore connection, south pier removal, and dredging the entrance channel through outer basin under the old project were com- pleted 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 21.7 feet over the existing width of 650 feet through' the outer basin, thence 15 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 $413,949.46 for maintenance, a total of $1,066,969.50. The total expenditures were $1,083,101.69.

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 modified by River and Har- bor Acts of June 23, 1866, September 19, 1890, March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1939 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1468 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a detached breakwater 796 feet long, for two parallel piers about 250 feet apart, 1,077 and 1,872 feet in length for the north and south piers, respectively, and for a channel 200 feet wide and 21 feet deep, from that depth in the lake a distance of 2,750 feet to an interior basin 21 feet deep. The break- water is formed of stone-filled timber cribs; the piers are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling. The entire north pier, 1,175 feet of the south pier, and the entire breakwater are capped with concrete superstructure. The inner 697 feet of the south pier has been provided with a steel sheet pile face. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $71,550, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $9,000.

ST. JOSEPH HARBOR, MICH. Location.-Located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 60 miles easterly from Chicago and about 24 miles southerly from South Haven. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 758.) Previous projects.--The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 4, 1836, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 23, 1866; March 3, 1875; June 14, 1880; and July 13, 1892. For further details, see page 1945 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1470 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the St. Joseph River by two piers, 250 to 325 feet apart at their inner and outer ends, respectively, having lengths of 2,854 feet on the north side and 2,603 feet on the south side. It further provides for a chan- nel 21 feet deep from Lake Michigan to the mouth of the Benton Harbor Canal, a length of about 6,900 feet, with widths of 265 feet at the outer end of the piers, 190 feet at the inner end of the piers and revetments, thence generally 215 feet to the lower end of the turning basin, increasing to 250 feet above the turning basin to the mouth of the Paw Paw River, thence generally 110 feet in the Paw Paw River to the mouth of the Benton Harbor Canal; for dredging the channel in the Benton Harbor Canal up to the west line of Ninth Street, a length of about 2,800 feet, to a depth of 18 feet and width of 80 feet; for dredging a turning basin 18 feet deep on the north side of channel above the mouth of the Morrison Channel; and that the turning basin near the mouth of the Paw Paw River be eliminated from the project. The piers and revetments are formed of stone- filled timber cribs and piling, capped with concrete superstructure. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake 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 1946, was $459,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of mainteance is $22,000.

Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, provided that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent maintenance as required and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the dredg- ing of the turning basin just above the mouth of Morrison Channel. Negotiations for compliance are in progress. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, petroleum products, and miscellaneous com- modities and three shipbuilding yards. A package-freight terminal is also available for use. While these facilities are generally ade- quate for existing traffic conditions, a public wharf open for all on equal terms should be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 45,948 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $17,708.23. Placing 991 tons of stone as riprap along the piers cost $5,877.11. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $23,585.34 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $23.750.26. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was completed in 1938.

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 Har- bor Acts of June 14, 1880, August 2, 1882, and August 11, 1888. (For further details see p. 1947 of Annual Report for 1915 and p. 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 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 of new work, revised in 1939, is $236,000, exclu- sive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $17,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 11, 1888 Channel from inner end of piers to highway No prior survey or estimate. 1 bridge.

ARMY, 1946 Local cooperation.-The act of August 30, 1935, provided "that no expense shall be incurred by the United States for the acquiring of any lands required for the purpose of this improvement." Accord- ing to latest information, no land will be required, as enlargement of the basin is not desired by local interests. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-These consist of several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, wood pulp, fish, and miscellaneous commodities. The city has constructed a municipal wharf and ware- house. The municipal wharf is leased to a private corporation which operates it in the interest of general commerce on like terms for like service. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 32,312 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $14,285.89. Placing 983 tons of stone as riprap along the piers cost $3,725.75. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $18,011.64 for main- tenance. The total net expenditures were $18,014.12. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 87 percent complete. The piers were completed in 1913 and dredging of the channel and existing turning basin in 1938. The work remain- ing 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 condition. The control- ling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 20.3 feet in the channel between the piers and 19 feet in the river and 17.7 feet in existing turning basin.

Geological Survey Grand Rapids quadrangle.) Previous projects.-The original project for the river was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. A new project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, and was modi- fied by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1949 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1481 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the river by piers and revetments, 415 feet apart at the entrance, dimin- ishing 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 generally 100 feet wide to deep water in Spring Lake, a distance of about 1,350 feet in the river and about 1,750 feet up the outlet from Spring Lake; and for a channel in Grand River 8 feet deep at low-water datum, 100 feet wide and 141/2 miles long to Bass River, the total length of river channel being about 17 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 1946, was $952,800, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $50,000. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level in the harbor are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pres- sure, of about 1 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, ease- ments, and rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent maintenance, when and as required, 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 compliance are in progress. Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip, there are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, petroleum prod- ucts, fish, and miscellaneous commodities. The car-ferry slip is not in use at present. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce, except that there should be a public wharf in Grand Haven for transfer between rail and water. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 50,892 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, below the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, at a cost of $24,738.43. Dredging 83,973 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the river above the Grand Trunk Railway bridge cost $16,- 980.70. Placing 991 tons of stone as riprap along the south pier cost $4,653.15. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $46,372.28 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $49,181.10. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was about 98 percent complete. The work remaining to be done under the project, prior to last modifica- tion, is a small amount of dredging on the northerly side of the inner channel at the point of land 1,350 feet upstream from the inner end of the north revetment. This dredging cannot be done without revet- ting 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 modification of the project providing for widening 1922 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 the channel between the car-ferry slip and the Grand Trunk Railway bridge and dredging a turning basin below that bridge. The piers and revetments were completed in 1893 and are in generally good con- dition except that the south revetment requires repairs. Dredging of that portion 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 ad- vanced funds. Dredging of the river above the railway bridge to Bass River was completed in 1931. Dredging the channel into Spring Lake was completed in 1938. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 22.7 feet between the piers, thence 21 feet in the river to the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, thence 8 feet to Bass River and 18 feet in the outlet from Spring Lake. ,and The costs under the existing project were $747,724.47 for new work and $1,880,215.02 for maintenance, a total of $2,627,939.49. The total expenditures were $2,629,418.01. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, including accounts receivable, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U.

MUSKEGON HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is on the east shore of Lake Michigan, dis- tant aboutl114 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 80 miles easterly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 767.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, June 23, 1874, August 2, 1882, September 19, 1890, August 18, 1894, March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further details, see page 1950 of Annual Report for 1915; page 1399, Annual Report for 1924; and page 1484, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an exterior basin in Lake Mich- igan, 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 1924 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 south sides, respectively; for the removal of 1,003 feet of the existing north pier and 1,106 feet of the existing south pier; for repairing and maintaining the revetment around the old car-ferry slip on the south side of the entrance channel; for dredging channel 380 feet wide at the entrance, thence increasing to 650 feet wide at a point about 300 feet inside the entrance, thence decreasing toward the new pierheads to 500 feet wide and 240 feet wide between the piers, with depths vary- ing from 24 feet at the harbor entrance to 21 feet at the shore line and in the inner channel to Muskegon Lake, about 6,050 feet from the harbor entrance. The south breakwater and shore connection are built of concrete caissons and piling capped with 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 Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide in New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2feet 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.

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 plant, and several wharves used for handling coal, petroleum products, building materials, and miscellaneous com- modities. There is also a sand wharf at the west end of Muskegon Lake south of the inner end of the improved channel. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results dkring ffisal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 8,902 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $3,781.01 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $3,598.91. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1938. The south breakwater and south-shore connection was com- pleted in 1930. The north breakwater and shore connection and removal of old piers was completed in 1931. Deepening and widening RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1925 entrance channel was completed in 1932. Repairing the south revet- ment around the old car-ferry slip was completed in 1938. The outer 54 feet of the south breakwater were removed in 1939, thereby increas- ing the width between the outer ends of the breakwaters to 555 feet. The south breakwater is therefore maintained for only a length of about 1,460 feet. The breakwaters and shore connections are in good condition. The inner piers and revetments are in fair condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 23.6 feet in the channel through the outer harbor and 21.2 feet between the inner piers to Muskegon Lake. The costs under the existing project were $1,900,922.07 for new work and $526,613.17 for maintenance, a total of $2,427,535.24. The total expenditures were $2,428,008.23.

LUDINGTON HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located on the east shore of Lake Michi- gan, distant about 156 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 67 miles northerly from Grand Haven. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 774.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of August 5, 1886, August 11, 1888, and March 3, 1899. For further details see page 1951 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1491 of Annual Report of 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an exterior basin in Lake Michigan, formed by two breakwaters, each with main arm 1,800 feet long, 400 feet apart at the outer ends, diverging at an angle of 900, and with shore connections, 1,103 feet and 2,004 feet in length for north and south breakwaters, respectively; for the removal of the outer end of the inner piers; for dredging the exterior basin to a depth of 18 feet; and for an inner channel about 2,000 feet lbng con- necting Pere Marquette Lake with Lake Michigan, the minimum navigable width being 150 feet and depth of 18 feet. The break- waters and inner piers and revetments are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, all of which are capped with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- 1930 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuation of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. 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 handling coal, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 13,618 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $7,050.68. Rebuilding or reinforcing substructure and rebuilding superstructure in concrete on 590 linear feet of the north revetment, in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, was completed at a cost of $36,375.25. Rebuilding or reinforcing substructure and rebuilding superstructure in concrete on 645 linear feet of the south revetment, in progress at the close of the fiscal year, cost $7,166.99. All work was done by hired labor and use of Gov- ernment plant. The total cost was $50,592.92 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $45,153.41. 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 piei's and revetments are in good to poor condition. The outer 100 feet of the south breakwater were removed by private interests in 1939 by authority of the Chief of Engineers dated June 2, 1939, thereby increasing the width be- tween the outer ends of the breakwaters to 475 feet. The south break- water is therefore maintained for only a length of about 1,700 feet. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 27.5 feet at harbor entrance, thence decreasing through RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1931 the outer basin to 21.5 feet at lakeward end of the inner piers and thence 19.7 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 $956,012.99 for maintenance, a total of $1,992,098.92. The total expenditures were $2,011,354.38.

MANISTEE HARBOR, MICH. Location.-On the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 179 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 26 miles northerly from Ludington. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 776.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1867; June 10, 1872; March 3, 1873; March 3, 1875; August 14, 1876; September 19, 1890; July 13, 1892; March 2, 1907; and June 25,1910. For further details see page 1952 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1493 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 23 feet deep 570 feet wide, 1,600 feet to the outer end of the south pier; thence 21 feet deep between the piers and in the river, 250 to 220 feet wide, 2,000 feet; and thence with a minimum width of 100 feet from the inner end of the north revetment to Manistee Lake, about 6,400 feet. The project also provides for a south breakwater having a main arm 1,300 feet long and a shore connection 1,185 feet long, north pier and revet- ment 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 Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1933 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, was $691,800, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects.

Local cooperation.-The act of July 3, 1930, provided "that no work shall be undertaken on the section of the river through and above the bridges until they have been modified in a manner satisfactory to the Secretary of War." The Sinith 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. Negotiations for compliance are in progress. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is a Government wharf and a private sand wharf on the north side of the river and a package-freight wharf with warehouse and a coal wharf on the south side. Industries on Manistee Lake have wharves used for handling coal, salt, building materials, and pulpwood. The city has provided a wharf on the south side of the river for general public use. The facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 55,608 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $18,277.93 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $19,535.18. 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 modifica- tion, 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 1934 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 until a large part of the river banks are revetted by private interests. No work has been done on the last modification of the project provid- ing for a new south pier and widening the river entrance channel. The north pier and revetment, completed in 1893, and the south break- water 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 23.2 feet in the outer basin, thence 23 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 $706,943 for maintenance, a total of $1,190,925.86. The total expenditures were $1,192,789.63.

Emisting project.-This provides for a harbor of refuge, with an entrance channel from Lake Michigan to Portage Lake, 300 feet wide and 18 feet deep, protected by stone-filled timber crib and pile piers and revetments. The piers and revetments have been provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pres- sure, of about 1 /2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1902, was $344,300. The latest (1939) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $12,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1879 (Annual Report for 1879, p. 1634). The latest pub- 1936 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 lished map is in House Document No. 588, Sixty-fourth Congress, first session. Recommended modifications of project.-Legislation authorizing the abandonment of the project for this harbor is recommended in House Document No. 588, Sixty-fourth Congress, first session. Terminal facilities.-There are inexpensive landing places at the inner end of Portage Lake. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-There were no opera- tions or costs at this harbor during the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was substan- tially completed in 1912. The piers and revetments were completed in 1901. The dredging was completed in 1912 except for a small amount of hard material in the inner half of the channel. The piers and revet- ments are in good condition. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 13 feet in a channel about 100 feet wide between the piers to Portage Lake. The costs and expendi- tures under the existing project were $256,129.21 for new work and $422,140.64 for maintenance, a total of $678,269.85. Proposed operations.-Thereare no funds available. Soundings are necessary to determine the condition of the existing channel, and the sum of $1,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 80, 1948.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 11,719 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $4,526.36. Placing 991 tons of stone as riprap along the breakwaters cost $2,520.78. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $7,047.14 for mainte- nance. The total net expenditures were $6,689.50. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939 Construction of the south breakwater and shore connection, removal of south pier, and dredging south half of channel were com- pleted in 1931. The north breakwater and shore connection and the remainder of the pier removal and dredging were completed in 1932. Dredging of the area in Lake Betsie was completed in 1939. The 1938 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 breakwaters, shore connections, and inner piers and revetments are in generally 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 21.4 feet at lakeward end of the inner piers and thence 20 feet in the 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 $481,283.61 for maintenance, a total of $2,223,110.44. The total expenditures were $2,223,293.42.

LELAND HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is on the east shore of Lake Michigan at the mouth of Carp (Leelanau) River, Mich., distant about 240 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 40 miles northerly from Frank- fort. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 705.) Emisting project.-This provides for the removal of the wrecked outer portions of the old privately owned piers; for the construction of new piers converging from shore to an entrance 60 feet wide, the lengths to be 370 and 440 feet for the north and south piers, respec- tively; and for an entrance channel 6 feet deep and 40 feet wide, the inner end of channel being about 300 feet inside of the harbor entrance. The new piers are built of piling filled with stone. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1935, was $60,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30; 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 23, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Terminal facilities.-There are privately owned wharves on each side of the inner harbor extending from the dam located about 400 feet above the mouth of theriver, for a distance of about 200 feet downstream, used principally by the local fishing interests, and to some extent by Government mail, Coast Guard, and lighthouse boats. All available dockage space is utilized. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of taking soundings, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $161.70 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $276.30. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. The converging piers, removal of outer portions of 1940 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 the old privately owned piers, and dredging were completed in 1937. The remaining portions of the private piers are in 'poor condition. Prior to the work done by the Government the harbor had been built and maintained entirely by local interests. Carp River, about 4,000 feet long, connects Leelanau Lake with Lake Michigan. There is a concrete dam with a 9-foot head about 400 feet above the river mouth. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 10.2 feet at entrance, reducing thence to 3.7 feet at the inner end of the channel through outer harbor, and 2.3 feet in river to the dam. The costs under the existing project were $64,181.34 for new work and $17,339.81 for maintenance, a total of $81,521.15. The total expenditures were $81,635.75. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1946_ 05 $------------$107.

CHARLEVOIX HARBOR, MICH. Location.-On the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 276 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 75 miles northerly from Frankfort. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 789.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 18 feet deep from that depth in Lake Michigan to that depth in Lake Charlevoix pro- tected where needed by piers and revetments. The piers at the entrance are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and rubblestone, being 781 feet and 452 feet in length on north and south sides, respectively. The entire south pier and the outer 303 feet of the north pier have been provided with concrete superstructure. The revetments are built of piling and are capped with concrete. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake 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 1938, was $95,500. The latest (1938) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $8,500.

Terminal facilities.-These consist of several small landing places in Round Lake at Charlevoix used for handling fish and miscellaneous commodities. The city of Charlevoix has provided a public wharf south of the inner end of the lower south revetment. A wharf for receipt of petroleum products is located on the west end of Lake Charlevoix. There is also a coal wharf at Boyne City at the inner end of Lake Charlevoix. The city of Boyne City has provided a public wharf for small craft. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. 1942 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 7,088 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $2,596.65 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $2,307.67. 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 chanels in 1939. The piers and revetments of the lower channel are in generally good condition. The south revetment of the upper channel is in good condition. The north revetment of the upper channel has been removed, a portion being removed in 1928 and the remainder in 1930. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 19.5 feet in the lower channel to Round Lake and 20 feet in the upper channel to Lake Charlevoix. The costs under the existing project were $82,223.04 for new work and $388,099.80 for maintenance; a total of $470,322.84. The total expenditures were $470,489.09.

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 northwesterly 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 north- erly 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 fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of Federal cost for new work, made in 1946, is $15,000, 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 Secretary 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 development of harbor facilities (exclusive of Federal property) with the understand- ing 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. 1944 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 (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 required. 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 conimerce, a suitable wharf open to all on equal terms should be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year.--There were no opera- tions or costs at this harbor during the fiscal year. 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. Proposedoperations.-Thereare no available funds. The sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended during the fii cl year 1948 for the completion of the authorized project.

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.) 1949 1950 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 Au- gust 2, 188x'. For further details see page 1940 of Annual 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 extend- ing 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 south- ward opposite the inner basin. (c), An entrance channel 390 feet wide and 22 feet deep extending 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, protected on the east side by a revetment 882 feet long, and an anchorage 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 Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1945, is $570,750, exclu- sive 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: Acts Work authorized Documents June 14, 1880 Parallel piers and basin ' 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. SCompleted under previous projects. SContains latest published map. RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1951 Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, provided that dredg- ing 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 improvement 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 adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year..-Miscellaneous surveys were made at a total cost of $1,405.13, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,183.40. 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 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 in good condition, except that riprap is required and the bulkhead adjoining the United States property on the east side of the inner basin should be rebuilt. The controlling depths are 16.3 feet in the entrance channel to the outer end of the south pier and 17.5 feet in the remaining portion of the entrance channel and basin. Depths are based on soundings taken in May 1946 and are referred to low-water datum. The mean-water level in June 1946 was 2.52 feet above datum. The total cost was $1,370,489.18, of which $536,757.92 was for new work and $833,731.26 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $1,370,267.45.

CHICAGO HARBOR, ILL. Location.-Northeastern Illinois, near the southern end of Lake Michigan; 85 miles in a southerly direction from Milwaukee, Wis. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 752.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1833, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866; March 2, 1867; July 1, 1868; and April 10, 1869. Work was con- tinued under these projects until 1870. (For further details see p. 1941 of Annual Report for 1915 and p. 1510 of Annual Report for 1938.) Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) An inner breakwater, all of timber cribs, enclosing an inner basin of about 224 acres in extent, the breakwater being in two sec- tions, as follows: The main inner breakwater 4,036 feet long with 300 feet of shore return on north end; a southerly extension 2,550 feet long. (b) An exterior breakwater enclosing an outer basin of about 970 acres in extent, the breakwater being in three sections, exclusive of gaps, as follows: The shore extension at north end built of timber cribs and 2,250 feet long; the main exterior breakwater, built of tim- ber cribs and 5,413 feet long; and the southerly extension, built of RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1953 rubble mound and concrete caissons and 5,000 feet long, exclusive of the harbor entrance gap of 500 feet. (c) Maintenance dredging to a depth of 21 feet of that part of the inner basin lying north of a line drawn eastwardly perpendicular to the eastern boundary of Grant Park, from the northern end of said boundary, and also of the entrance to Chicago River from the lake to Rush Street over a width varying from 470 to 190 feet. (d) Maintenance of that section of the North Pier, 900 feet long, located east of the entrance to Ogden Slip. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake 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 temporary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot due to wind and difference in barometric pressures occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1914, was $3,686,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $50,000.

Terminal facilities.-The outer harbor terminals consist of two slips, one opening off from the main river and one opening off from the inner basin; wharves, fronting on the river itself, and a.municipal pier ex- tending 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 surveys were made at a total cost of $1,700.30, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,289.12. 1954 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1923. The entrance to Chicago River has been improved by the construction of parallel entrance piers and dredging a channel 190 to 470 feet in width to a depth of 21 feet below datum. The northerly arm of the inner breakwater (timber, 4,034 feet, with 304-foot shore return on north end, completed in 1874; concrete superstructure com- pleted in 1934) is in good condition, except that minor repairs are necessary for a portion of the concrete superstructure. The south- erly arm (timber, 2,544 feet, completed in 1880; concrete super- structure completed in 1930) is in good condition. The exterior breakwater (timber, 5,418 feet, completed in 1889; concrete super- structure completed in 1930) and the southerly extension.. (Tribble 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 1946 was 2.52 feet above datum.

For further details see page 1942 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1513 of Annual Report for 1938. Exasting project.-This provides for maintenance dredging to 21 feet below the hydraulic grade line, corresponding to low-water datum in Lake Michigan, of the main river from Rush Street to the junction of the North and South Branches (0.7 mile), the North Branch from the junction to North Avenue (2.22 miles), the North Branch Canal (1.04 miles), and the North Branch Turning Basin. the channels and turning basin to be maintained to project depth to within 20 feet of existing docks. It also provides for dredging a channel 9 feet deep to within 30 feet of existing bulkheads and river banks from North Avenue to Belmont Avenue, thence 9 feet deep and 50 feet wide to Addison Street. The width of channel in main river varies from 200 to 300 feet, in North Branch from 50 to 150 feet, and in North Branch Canal from 70 to 110 feet. All depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York, with due allowance for hydraulic grade resulting from the drainage canal. 1956 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $572,800, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1946) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $35,000.

Terminal facilities.-In the Chicago River and its branches there iS a total wharfage, including numerous slips, of about 150,000 feet, about 15,000 feet of which is used by private interests for shipping purposes. These terminals are owned and operated by steamship lines, grain, coal, and lumber companies, and various other industries. They are more than adequate in extent for existing commerce. Except for the State of Illinois barge terminal and elevator at Danien Avenue on the South Branch (mentioned in terminal facilities onl the Illinois River), and the frontage along Wacker Drive, owned by the city, there are no publicly owned docks, wharves, or other terminal facilities on the main river or its branches. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys were made at a cost of $2,267.27, all maintenance. Total expenditures were $2,230.53. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is completed except for the work authorized by the River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946. 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 within 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. Based on soundings completed in August 1941 the controlling depth from the North Branch turning basin to Belmont Avenue is 12.4 feet; from Belhont Avenue to Addison Street,' 9 feet. The mean water level in RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1957 June 1946 was 2.52 feet above datum. The heads of navigation for deep draft vessels are Belmont Avenue on the North Branch and Lea- vitt Street on the west fork of the South Branch, 5.97 and 5.52 miles, respectively, from the Michigan Avenue Bridge. The head of naviga- tion for barge traffic is near Touhy Avenue on the North Shore Channel, about 11 miles from the Michigan Avenue Bridge. The total cost was $1,547,529.72, of which $544,678.70 was for new work and $1,002,851.02 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,547,492.98.

CALUMET HARBOR AND RIVER, ILL. AND IND. Location.-NortheasternIllinois (Cook County), near the southern end of Lake Michigan, 121/2 miles south of Chicago Harbor, and known on the Great Lakes as South Chicago Harbor, it being in the southerly part of and within the corporate limits of the city of Chicago, except for a part of the breakwaters and of the anchorage 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 modified 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 east- ward 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 Elev- enth 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 here- after established. (g) For five turning basins spaced along the river channel, of suit- able 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 Mich- igan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT' 1959 Fluctuations in stage of the river are practically those resulting from changes of water level in Lake Michigan. On Lake Michigan seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluctua- tions of 0.1 to 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in barometric pres- sures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $9,533,800, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $140,000.

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 the land needed for turning basins Nos. 1, 3, and 5 has been conveyed to the United States. The total area thus conveyed is 17.85 acres, and the value of the land' at the time of its conveyance was approximately $35,700. The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the widening of the 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 necessary bulk- heads, or have released the United States from all damages to adjacent lands by reason of the excavation. 1960 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 The Republic Steel Corp. has dredged a new turning basin on the east side of the Calumet River just north of One Hundred and Twenty- second Street, to replace the original turning basin No. 3, and has constructed a bulkhead along the channel side of the original basin No. 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 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. Addi- tional dockage exists on the lake front and along the entrance channel, but for various reasons it is not now suitable for terminal uses. Between the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway bridge and The Forks there are about 50,500 feet of wharfage, including 14 slips and dry- docks, of which about 31,300 feet are in use. These wharves are owned and operated by various private and industrial concerns 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 existing commerce. There are no public wharves on the Calumet River. Operations and results during fiscal year-New,work.-Preparation of definite project report was made at a cost of $357.87. Preparation of plans and specifications for closing entrance gap and dredging in approach channel to the harbor were carried on at a cost of $2,775.16. Total cost of new work was $3,133.03. Maintenance.-Miscellaneous surveys were made at a cost of $6,077.83. A total of 90,032 cubic yards of material was removed by contract at a cost of $58,692.90. The total cost of maintenance was $64,770.73. The total cost was $67,903.76, of which $3,133.03 was for new work and $64,770.73 was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $154,895.60. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 59 percent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the construction of turning basins Nos. 2 and 4, dredging portions of the outer harbor, 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 be- tween the breakwaters. The timber breakwater (6,712 feet, completed RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1961 in 1904; concrete superstructure completed in 1924) is in good con- dition, except that some riprap is required. The cellular type steel- sheet pile breakwater (5,007 feet, completed in 1935) is in good con- dition. Under permit from the Secretary of War, the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. and its predecessors have removed all the south pier (completed in 1897) and 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 War Department, the Defense Plant Cor- poration 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 section, where the widening was done by the Corporation. Depths in the entrance channel vary from 30 to 25 feet. The con- trolling 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 1946 was 2.52 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 19 to 25 feet. The total cost, all funds, was $8,256,994.93, of which $2,568,591.80 regular funds and $3,036,603.05 Public Works funds, a total of $5,605,194.85 was for new work and $2,651,800.08 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $8,255,010.76, including $3,036,603.05 Public Works funds.

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 temporary fluctu- ations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in barometric pres- sures, 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, 73d Cong., 2d sess.) The latest published map of the Illinois Waterway is in House Docket No. 145, Seventy-sixth Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied 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 surveys were carried on at a cost of $589.14, all maintenance. Total expen- ditures were $589.14. Condition at end of fisoal 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 1946 was 2.52 feet above datum. Except in the dredged area, depths in the lake vary from 1 to about 10 feet, but 721584-47---pt. 1, vol. 2-40 1964 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 in general are so shallow that no navigation is possible in the un- dredged portion except by very light-draft vessels. The total cost of the work was $408,350.71 of which $405,011.57 was for new work and $3,339.14 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $408,350.71. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended will be applied to sounding, sweeping and removal of obstructions, by hired labor. The additional sum of $183,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 as follows: Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1948____ $3, 500 Dredging to the project depth of 21 feet at the south end of the lake and in the entrance channel between the lake and turning basin No. 5, by contract, July 1947 to November 1947- 180, 000 Total maintenance ----------------------------------- 183, 500 The average cost of maintenance for the last 5 years was $668. The city of Chicago has prepared plans for an interchange harbor at the south end of the lake, and it is expected that the construction of the first stage of the terminal will be completed before the end of the fiscal year 1948. The increased amount now requested is because of the dredging required to accommodate vessels that will use the terminal. No maintenance costs have been incurred for dredging since new work dredging was completed about 9 years ago. In addition, it may be that the south end of Lake Calumet will be required for mooring surplus Government vessels prior to the end of the fiscal year 1948.

(f) The maintenance of a channel 20 feet deep and 80 feet wide in the remainder of the Calumet River Branch south of the north line of One Hundred and Forty-first Street, except the removal of sewage deposits and other city refuse, after completion and acceptance from private parties. (g) The construction of a turning basin at the forks 22 feet deep. That part of the Calumet River Branch Channel from the north line of One Hundred and Forty-first Street to the Grand Calumet River has not as yet been completed by local interests or accepted for maintenance by the United States. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in barometric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is.$4,314,500, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $53,000. 1966 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-The act of August 26, 1937, provides that the enlargement of the Indiana Harbor Canal shall not be undertaken until local interests have furnished a right-of-way 300 feet wide and have constructed substantial bulkheads along the channel on the es- tablished 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 proceed in any section on fulfillment of the conditions for that side of the section, and pro- vided further, that south of the turning basin at The Forks (beginning 450 feet solth of the intersection of the present Calumet Branch and main stem' bulkhead lines) widening and deepening by the United States shall be done only as the rights-of-way and bulkheads on at least one side of the channel are continuously provided southward from the above limit of the turning basin at The Forks. To provide for the 300-foot channel, a parcel of land (of about 4.6 acres), gener- ally 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 northward 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 recon- RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1967 structed the bulkhead on the west side from The Forks to One Hun- dred and Forty-first Street. The Defense Plant Corporation has built a bulkhead along the east side of the canal between the Pennsyl- vania 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 widening. 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 surveys were carried on at a cost of $5,100.02. A total of 103,031 cubic yards was removed by contract at a cost of $64,938.97. The total cost was $70,038.99. The total expenditures were $69,184.58. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 84 per- cent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the exist- ing 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 of the Calumet River Branch from The Forks to One Hundred and Forty-first Street to the same width and depth, and complete deepening and widening to full project dimensions of 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 break- water (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 Rail- road 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, 23 feet, with 22.3 feet at the five bridges; from the five bridges to the turning basin at The Forks, 20.7 feet; 22.7 feet in the turning basin at The Forks; depths in the turning basin east of Canal Street vary from 22.5 feet at the entrance to the basin to 14 feet at a point 80 feet from the south side of the basin, from the turning basin to a point about 1,200 feet south in the Calumet River Branch, 17.7 feet; from that point to the One Hundred and Forty-first Street Bridge, from 17 to 2 feet, respectively; and from the turning basin to 1,000 feet above the Indianapolis Boulevard Bridge, on the Lake George Branch, 20.4 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 1946. 1968 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Depths are referred to low-water datum. The mean level in June 1946 was 2.52 feet above datum. The head of navigation for com- mercial vessels is at the Baltimore & Ohio Chicago terminal railroad bridge on the Lake George Branch, about 3 miles from the outer har- bor, 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 $4,875,339.95, of which $3,257,295.46 were regular funds and $1,618,044.49 Public Works funds; a total of $3,628,688.22 was for new work and $1,246,651.73 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $4,874,410.20, including $1,618,044.49 Public Works funds.

MICHIGAN CITY HARBOR, IND. Location.-Northwestern Indiana (in La Porte County), on the southeasterly shore of Lake Michigan, 38 miles in a southeasterly direction from Chicago Harbor. (See U. S'. Lake Survey Chart No. 75.) For description see page 1482 of Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 4, 1836, and work was continued under this project until 1870. For further details see page 1944 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1524 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for: (a) A detached breakwater, east and west entrance piers, and a dredged channel, 120 to 150 feet wide and 18 feet deep, from Lake Michigan to the upper of two turning basins, which are also to have a depth of 18 feet. (b) The repair and restoration of the westerly 1,000 feet of the old east breakwater. (c) Dredging an anchorage shoreward of the restored section to a depth of 12 feet in the northerly portion and 8 feet in the southerly portion. (d) Enlarging the entrance to this basin through the east pier to a width of 66 feet. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluctuations of 0.1 and 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in baro- metric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infre- quent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $1,220,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $12,000. 1970 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

About 1,000 feet is in use. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys were made at a cost of $109.42, all maintenance. Total expenditures were $109.42. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in December 1938. Concrete stperstructure, 1,304 feet, on the detached breakwater was completed in 1925 and on the entrance 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 land- ward of the Tormer dock line. The area channelward of the new bulk- head was dredged by the permittee to 18 feet. Depths in the entrance channel up to the Franklin Street Bridge vary from 18 to 15 feet. Be- tween 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 turning basin at the head of the project are about 5.5 feet. The depths in the central portion of the basin vary from 3 to 4 feet. Available anchorage depths in the outer basin are 12 feet in the northerly portion and 9 feet in the southerly portion. RIVERS AND HARBORS CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1971 Depths are based upon soundings taken during June 1944 and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1946 was 2.5k feet above datum. The head of navigation for commercial vessels is the turning basin at the head of the project, 1.04 miles above the outer end of the west pier. Above this point depths are sufficient for small launches only. The total cost was $2,351,193.49, of which $1,212,385.20 was for new work and $1,138,808.29 for maintenance.

Location.-The Illinois River (entirely within the.State of Illinois), formed by the confluence of the Kankakee and the Des Plaines Rivers, flows in a southwesterly direction and enters the Mississippi at Graf- ton, Ill., about 38 miles above St. Louis. The Illinois Waterway comprises the Illinois River from its mouth to the confluence of the Kankakee and Des Plaines Rivers, a distance of 273 miles; the Des Plaines River to Lockport, a distance of 18.1 miles, and the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the south branch of the Chicago River to Lake Street, Chicago, a distance of 34.5 miles. Also from a point 12.4 miles above Lockport, Ill., the Waterway com- prises the Calumet-Sag Channel and the Little Calumet and Calumet Rivers, to turning basin No. 5, near the entrance to Lake Calumet, a distance of 23.8 miles; and the Grand Calumet River from the junc- tion to One Hundred and Forty-first Street, deep (lake) draft navi- gation, a distance of 7.4 miles. Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852; April 10, 1869; July 11, 1870; June 14, 1880; and March 2, 1907.

S. ARMY, 1946 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 maintain- ing 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 navigablewaterway of the United States, forever free to the public use of all, unencumbered by any tolls or restrictions of any kind whatsoever except such as may be imposed by Congress. 'That the State of Illinois shall proceed, subject to the supervision and approval of all expenditures and obligations by the Secretary of War, to construct the highway bridges. at Brandon Road and Marseilles Canal, to make the necessary alterations in other high- way bridges across the Illinois Waterway, to make the necessary 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 construction of a waterway providing minimum 8-foot depths in channels not less than 150 feet wide, from the upper end of the Federal project on the Illinois River to Lockport. The lock and dam at Starved Rock was about 95 percent complete, the Marseilles Lock was about 95 percent, the Marseilles Canal 98 percent, Dresden Island Lock and Dam about 20 percent, Brandon Road Lock and Dam about 70 percent, and the Lockport Lock about 95 percent complete before the passage of the River and Harbor Act of July 3. 1930. The. River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, as modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938, provides that local interests furnish* to the United States, free of cost, all necessary land to effect the improvements recommended in House Document No. 180, Seventy- third Congress, second session, and install operating machinery and place in operating condition the three drawbridges across the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal between its junction with the Calumet-Sag Channel and Lockport when directed by the Secretary of War. Those requirements have been met and were accepted by the Chief of En- gineers on January 30, 1935. The River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946, supersedes the pro- visions of River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, and provides that RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1979 local interests furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, ease- nments and rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the new work and for subsequent maintenance when and as required, in- cluding the alteration of utilities as necessary, 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; and agree to remove at their own expense or satisfactorily alter the highway bridges across Des Plaines River at McDonough and Cass Streets (Joliet) and across the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Sixteenth Street (Lock- port), Romeo Road and Lemont Road, and all highway and street bridges across the channels included in the project, lakeward of Sag Junction which, in the opinion of the Secretary of War, constitute unreasonable obstructions to navigation; construct all necessary new highway, street, or foot bridges across these channels; agree to provide near Clark Street, Gary, Ind., an adequate public barge-rail-truck terminal open to all on equal terms; and further provided that the several sections of the proposed channel may be improved as separate units when considered advisable by the Secretary of War and the Chief of Engineers after local interests have provided, or furnished assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide, the cooperation required for any unit. The River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946, further provides that for the small-boat harbor at Peoria, Ill., local interests are required to contribute 50 percent of the first cost of dredging and construction of the breakwater and furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will make provision for the operation of the harbor and the construction of necessary bulkheads and a public landing with servicing facilities for small boats available to all users on equal terms, hold and save the United States free from damages due to the con- struction and maintenance of the works, and provide without cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights-of-way (including borrow areas) necessary for the construction of the project. Terminal facilities.-Of the 13 principal cities and towns along the Illinois River, about 5 own dock frontage, more or less improved for boat landings; 4 own dock frontage with no improvements; and 4 own no frontage except at street ends. At Peoria, the largest city on the river, there is a $400,000 modern river-rail municipal public terminal, having an available frontage of 1,100 feet; 205 feet is occupied by a dock house and 190 feet by an open dock. The dock house is served by a wharf boat 45 feet by 230 feet and an escalator capable of handling 1,000 tons a day. This terminal is served by the equivalent of a belt-line railroad. Grain elevators are available at 19 points between Grafton and Morris 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 Kingston Mines and at Peoria, and molasses is unloaded from barges at a terminal at Peoria. Sand and gravel plants are located at Kingston Lake, Chillicothe, Ottawa, and Joliet. 721584-47-pt. 1, vol. 2- 41 1980 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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-chemi- cals terminal is located at Laramie Avenue in Stickney, Ill. A private coal-unloading terminal is located at Crawford Avenue, Chicago. At Western Avenue,' Chicago, bulk and package freight is handled through the North Pier River barge terminal. The State of Illinois barge terminal, including a 1,500,000-bushel grain elevator, is located at Damen Avenue, Chicago, on the South Branch of the Chicago River. Two sand and gravel distribution yards are located on the Calumet- Sag Channel. A crude-oil-unloading terminal is located on the Little Calumet River at Riverdale, just upstream from the junction with the Sag Channel. Plans for further terminals and docks between Grafton and Chicago are under way.

The locks and dams authorized by the act of July 3, 1930, have been completed, and under present condition of flow at Lockport, there is now a channel of 300 feet wide and 9 feet deep between Lockport and Utica with the exception of the Marseilles Canal, which is 200 feet wide. The two locks authorized by the act of August 30, 1935, have been completed, the old dams at Kampsville and La Grange have been removed and the 300-foot channel between Grafton and Utica has been completed. 1982 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 A navigable channel now exists connecting the Mississippi River at Grafton with Lake Michigan via the Illinois and Des Plaines 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 ex- treme low water. The limiting horizontal bridge clearance in the section Grafton to Utica is 114 feet. The limiting horizontal clear- ance 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 Calumet River is 50 feet. Seven locks and six dams have been completed. (See table under paragraph "Existing project" for description and percentage of completion.) The following work remains to be done: Preliminary surveys, planning, and designs, enlargement of the Calumet-Sag Channel to: (a) Replacement of the Emergency Dam in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal; (b) enlargement of that canal thence to Sag Junction and of Calumet-Sag Channel to afford channels 225 feet wide with usable depth of 9 feet; (c) construction along the general route of Grand Calumet River of a channel with usable depth of 9 feet, 225 feet wide between Little Calumet River and the junction with the Indiana Harbor Canal and 160 feet wide thence to Clark Street, Gary, Ind., with a turning basin at Clark Street; (d) enlargement of the Indiana Harbor Canal to a width of 225 feet and usable depth of 9 feet between Grand Calumet River and the vicinity of One Hundred and Forty-first Street, inclusive; (e) removal of Blue Island lock and construction of a lock and control works in Calumet River near its head and of similar structures in the proposed Grand Calumet Channel west of the Indiana Harbor Canal; (f) alteration or elimination of railroad bridges across these channels lakeward of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, or the construction of new railroad bridges, to provide suitable clearances, with apportionment of the costs between the bridge owners and the United States in accordance with the principles set forth in agree- ment dated February 23, 1945; installation of Tainter gate cofferdams at dams, Lockport td Starved Rock; completion of construction of additional mooring and protection facilities in all pools; completion of flowage and remedial works, dredging to provide a channel 9 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the Illinois River, with adequate widen- ing at critical points and bends, and provision for a small-boat harbor at Peoria, Ill.

The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lakes Superior and Huron, which are 601.6 and 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the St. Marys River rises and falls about 1 foot as meas- ured by the monthly mean levels. Since 1860 the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels above the locks has been about 33/4 feet and below the locks about 7 feet. From day to day the level fluctuates somewhat, due to wind and barometric pressure, such changes frequently amounting to several inches and sometimes to a foot or more. In addition to these changes in level occasionally a con- siderable oscillation takes place within 2 or 3 hours which is some- what 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 1946, is $76,780,100. exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance including $738,000 for operation and care of the locks, is $852,300. Tailrace deepening: The River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1915, provided for the deepening and enlargement of the tailrace of the RIVERS AND HARBORS DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2009 United States power plant between the powerhouse and deep water at the foot of the rapids, a distance of about 2,250 feet, estimated cost $150,000, and authorized the diversion for this purpose of so much as might be necessary of the unexpended balance of appropriations for the Davis lock. 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 opera- tion 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 con- structed and 84 percent if a span for E-35 loading is constructed. On the basis of 1944 price levels the amount of the United States partici- pation 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 hydroelectric power plant in accordance with the plan recommended in House'Docu- ment No. 339, Seventy-seventh Congress; provided: (a) That only the first step of the recommended development in- volving an installation of approximately 14,000 kilowatts at an esti- mated cost (1940) of $3,500,000, shall be constructed at this time, and no further development in addition to said first step shall be under- taken 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 leased by the Secre- tary 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 continued 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 termination 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 Con- gress to that effect." This limiting provision was removed by Public 2010 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Law No. 300, dated February 18, 1946, and funds for the two project modifications were appropriated by the act approved May 2, 1946. The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, approved the modification of the existing project for the Great Lakes connecting waters, principal harbors and river channels in accordance with the report of the Chief of Engineers dated February 20, 1946, to provide for a new Poe lock with related work and anchorage improvements in St. Marys River in general accordance with the following descriptions: (a) That the Poe lock at St. Marys Falls Canal be replaced with a new structure 800 feet long, 100 feet wide, and 32 feet deep, with neces- sary reconstruction of nose and center piers. (b) That wider anchorage and maneuver areas in St. Marys River be provided by widening and deepening the channel (1) across Point Iroquois Shoals toa maximum width of 1,500 to 5,300 feet, with a depth of 27 feet; and (2) in Lake Nicolet to a maximum width of 1,000 feet, with a depth of 26.5 feet, when the governing lakes are at 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 con- sistent seasonal rise and fall, the lowest stages prevailing during the winter months and the highest during the summer months. At the head of St. Clair River, as measured by monthly mean levels, the water may rise and fall each year during the navigation season as much as 1.3 feet. During the past 35 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 River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, approved the modification of the project to provide for widening and deepening the Southeast Bend and improvement of the outlet of the North Chan- nel, St. Clair River, in general accordance with the following descrip- tions: (a) That the two-way channel at Southeast Bend, St. Clair River, from Light No. 12 to St. Clair Flats Canal be widened to a 2022 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 width of 700 to 800 feet, with a depth of. Y6 feet for 24-foot naviga- tion; (b) that the North Channel outlet at the mouth of the St. Clair River be widened to provide a channel 100 feet wide and 10 feet deep from lower St. Clair River to Lake St. Clair, for small craft, apart from the regular steamboat channels. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $9,169,300, including $6,000,000 for construction of submerged sills. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance of dredged channels is $64,900, including $1,500 for maintenance in the outlet to North Channel. No expense or maintenance will prob- ably be required for submerged sills.

Under date of April 29, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide for a cut-off channel about 31/2 miles long, in the vicinity of Southeast Bend, St. Clair River, Mich., with a depth of 25 feet at low-water datum and bottom width of 300 feet, at an estimated first cost of $2,500,000 with $10,000 annually for mainte- nance in addition to the amount now required (H. Doc. No. 309, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). In lieu of this recommendation the River and Har- bor Act approved March 2, 1945, provided for widening the existing project channel at Southeast Bend to 700 feet, which improvement has previously been undertaken and completed during the fiscal year 1943 as an emergency maintenance measure. Terminal facilities.-This improvement serves the through com- merce between the upper and lower lakes, and it has not materially influenced the terminal facilities at the towns along its route, which consist only of small docks for the accommodation of local traffic, with the exception of several privately owned coal terminals and one public terminal for general cargo, open to all vessels, at Port Huron, Mich. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Burton removed 105,567 cubic yards, bin measure, from the Southeast Bend during the period July 2 to July 31, 1946, at a cost of $45,208.13. Sweeping and sounding surveys were made over shoal areas, includ- ing the shoal at the mouth of the Black River, the Marine City Shoal, the Roberts Landing Shoal, and the Southeast Bend, by the U. S. survey boat Wolcott, including control replacement, at a cost of $22,369.64. RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2023 Costs du'ring the fiscal year were $67,577.77, all for maintenance. Total expenditures were $67,506.42. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is complete except for widening the two-way channel at Southeast Bend, widen- ing the North Channel outlet at the mouth of the St. Clair River, and the construction of the submerged sills.

Previous pro eots.-Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of Au- gust 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-riprapped earth dike, 7,221 feet long, on the east side of the mouth of the south channel of St. Clair River. The project depth is referred to low-watei datum for Lake St. Clair, which is 573.5 feet above mean tide at New York. As meas- ured by monthly mean levels, the water may rise and fall during the navigation season each year as much as 1.4 feet. During the past 35 navigation seasons the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean level has been about 4.3 feet. Occasionally fluctuations due to winds of high velocity may be as much as 1 foot in 6 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $4,902,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000.

The project depths are referred to local low-water datum planes which correspond to low-water 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 83 years the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels during the navigation season has been about 5 feet. Occa- sional fluctuations in depths of several feet, produced by high easterly or westerly winds, respectively, raise or lower the water level at the west end of Lake Erie, and similarly affect the level of the lower De- troit River; such changes have been as much as 6 feet within 8 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $29,751,700. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $101,000.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.--Within the limits of the port of Detroit are more than 8.4 linear miles of docks fronting on the river, and the appliances for handling freight are adequate, except for the chan- nel west of Grosse Isle. A number of docks are owned by railroads and large manufacturing corporations over which no freight is re- ceived except for their own use. Other docks are owned by steam- ship 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. ,Operationsand results during fiscal year-New work.-A prelimi- nary sounding survey was made over the site of the proposed channel north of Belle Isle at a cost of $1,000. Maintenance.-The U. S. derrick boat Erie removed obstructions in the Amherstburg Channel to secure project depths, 607 cubic yards, scow measure, of material being removed in cleaning up 21,499 square yards of channel to a depth of 21 feet. Total cost of derrick boat clean-up was $27,207.67. About 500 feet of the compensating dike between Stony Island and the Livingstone Channel was repaired at a cost of $3,981.02. Material in the amount of 793 cubic yards was placed in the dike. Examination of improved channels by sweeping and/or sounding was performed during the fiscal year at a cost of $34,979.87. The U. S. hopper dredge Savannah removed shoals in the lower section of the Livingstone Channel, 70,518 cubic yards, bin measure, being removed during the period July 26 to August 14, 1945, at a cost of $20,291.71. The costs during the fiscal year were $1,000 for new work, $86,460.27 for maintenance, a total of $87,460.27. The total expenditures were $88,816.91. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is complete except for dredging the channel north of Belle Isle, deepening westerly 300-foot width of Amherstburg Channel and constructing necessary compensating works. The work done consists of dredging, rock exca- vation, and the construction of dikes and compensating works. The dikes are in good condition. Repairs to the Stony Island dike are continuing. The Sugar Island compensating dike is beginning to show signs of erosion and weathering.

MACKINAC HARBOR, MICHIGAN Location.--This harbor is situated on the southeast end of Mackinac Island, which is located in the Straits of Mackinac at the northern end of Lake Huron, a distance of 151/2 miles by water in a northwest- erly direction from the harbor of Cheboygan, on the mainland. It is a natural indentation of the coast line, semicircular in form, pro- tected by breakwaters extending from Mission and Biddle Points, the area inclosed being about 34 acres. The extreme length of the harbor between Mission and Biddle Points is about 2,400 feet, and the greatest width is about 2,000 feet. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Prior to improvement this harbor was available for the purpose of commerce, as at mean lake levels there was least depth of 18 feet to the docks. Shipping, however, was unsafe during periods of southeasterly and westerly storms. Existing project.-This provides for the construction of two break- waters, 700 and 1,300 feet long, extending from Mission and Biddle Points, respectively, of stone riprap and boulders where this form of construction would cost less than cribwork. The extreme difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean stages during the period 1875 and 1946 has been about 6 feet. The ordinary seasonal rise and fall is about 1 foot. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1900, was $80,000. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910 (H. Doc. No. 646, 56th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in House Document No. 274, Sixty-third Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.-The harbor has two docks at right angles to shore and extending to 20 feet depth of water, which are accessible to boats on both sides. These docks are privately owned. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (For a full description of terminal facilities see H. Doc. No. 652, 66th Cong., 2d sess.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. derrick boat Merganser repaired the east breakwater, 325 tons of new stone being placed in the work. An additional 200 tons of displaced stone was recovered and replaced in the breakwater. The costs were $5,888.21, all for maintenance. The total expenditures were $217.15. RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2033 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1914 at a saving of $2,018 under the estimated cost.

CHEBOYGAN HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located on the lower reach of the Cheboy- gan River and is about 100 miles distant from Alpena, Mich., in a northwesterly direction. The river, which is 51/2 miles long. has its source in Mullet Lake, from which it flows in a northerly direction, emptying into the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Huron. The improved portion is about 11/2 miles in length. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Previous projects.--rThe 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. 2034 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Existing project.-This provides for a channel 18 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 Cheboygan River, and for a turning basin 15 feet deep, 400 feet wide, and 420 to 670 feet long on the east side of the existing project channel just below First Street. The length of the section included in the project is 11,720 feet, of which 6,000 feet are in the straits. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the level of the river rises and falls about 3 feet. From day to day the level changes somewhat, due to wind and barometric pressure, such changes sometimes amounting to a foot or more. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, was $122,800, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (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 18}4-foot channel_---------------------------Annual Report, 1895, p. 2823.

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.-A sounding survey from the State Street Bridge to deep water in the Straits of Machinac in- cluding the turning basin was ynade during the period September 14 to 25, 1945, at a cost and expenditure of $1,182.36, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939. The outer end of the old slab pier on the western side of the entrance was riprapped in 1921. The sounding survey of September'1945 indicates that project depths of 18.5 feet are available over full channel width from the State Street Bridge to the Straits of Mackinac and 16 feet in the turning basin. Above the State Street Bridge a controlling depth of 5.5 feet, as indi- cated 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 further distance of 30 miles in a water- way improved by local industries under a State law. The costs and expenditures for the existing project have amounted to $112,681.82 for new work and $90,657.13 for maintenance, a total of $203,338.95. RIVERS AND HARBORS--DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2035 Proposed operations.-No work is proposed during the fiscal years 1.947 and 1948, and the unexpended balance is available for revocation.

ALPENA HARBOR, MICH. Location.- This harbor is located on the northwest shore of Thunder Bay, Lake Huron. The river has its source in Montmorency and Alpena Counties, Mich., and empties into Thunder Bay. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Previous projects.-Authorized by River and Harbors Acts of Au- gust 14, 1876, and August 2, 1882. For further details see page 1957 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1548 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep, from that depth in Thunder Bay to a point 2,500 feet lakeward of the lighthouse; thence 181/2 feet deep to the upper end of the Fletcher Paper Co. dock in Thunder Bay River; for channel width of 200 feet from the 21-foot contour in Thunder Bay to the outer end of the breakwater, thence tapering to 100 feet in a distance of about 500 feet, thence 100 feet to Second Avenue Bridge and thence 75 feet for 1,600 feet, to upper limit of the improvement; and dredg- ing 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 im- proved channel extends 7,500 feet farther into the bay beyond the lighthouse. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the level of Thunder Bay River rises and falls about 31/2 feet. From day to day the level changes somewhat due to wind and barometric pressure, such changes frequently amounting to more than a foot. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $340,000, excltisive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $7,500. 2038 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS., U. S.

SAGINAW RIVER, MICH. Location.-This river is formed by the union of the Tittabawassee and Shiawassee Rivers, is about 22 miles long, and flows in a northerly direction and into the south end of Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2043 Previous projects.-Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866, June 23, 1874, June 18, 1878, March 3, 1879, August 2, 1882, and August 5, 1886. For further details see page 1957 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1550 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep and 200 feet wide from deep water in Saginaw Bay to the Detroit & Mackinac Railway bridge in Bay City, thence 20 feet deep to the Sixth Street Bridge in Saginaw, Mich., thence 161/2 feet deep to the junction with the Tittabawassee River, a distance of about 291/2 miles; and for a turning basin 15 feet deep by 360 feet wide, varying from 690 feet to 420 feet in length, adjacent to the east side of the existing channel between Court Street and Bristol Street Bridges. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is taken at 578.5 feet above mean tide level at New York. Due to storms the level of the river at its mouth rises and falls about 3 feet. Spring freshets and excessive rains have caused an abnormal rise of as much as 14 feet at Saginaw. Occasionally a considerable change takes place within a few hours, resulting from the raising or lowering of Saginaw Bay by violent winds. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938, was $2,657,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $81,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25,1910 Channel 200 feet wide, with depths of 181, feet H.. Doc.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-General utility docks, and seven docks han- dling petroleum products, all privately owned, are located at Essex- ville and Bay City. The aggregate length of these docks is about 3,000 feet. Similar docks with a total length of about 1,500 feet are located in the upper river at Saginaw. In addition, the Chevrolet Motor Co. operates an industrial dock about 600 feet long and the Saginaw Dock & Terminal Co. operates a private dock about 900 feet long at Saginaw, and the Consumers Power Co. owns and operates a dock about 1,100 feet long at Zilwaukee. Turning basins have been constructed by the owners opposite the latter two docks. These terminal facilities are adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Final payments in the amount of $10,846.40 were made under contract for maintenance dredging in the section of the channel at Saginaw, Mich., between the 721584-47-pt. 1, vol. 2--45 2044 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Sixth Street and Pere Marquette Railroad Co. bridges and between the Court Street and Bristol Street Bridges, including the turning basin, completed June 29, 1945. A sounding survey from Sixth Street Bridge to the mouth of the river was made during the period July 7, 1945, to September 13, 1945, at a cost of $8,930.93. The U. S. hopper dredge Burton operated over the bay section during the period June 18 to June 30, 1946, removing material in the amount of 18,144 cubic yards, bin measure, at a cost of $30,450.96. The costs were $50,228.29 for maintenance, and the total expenditures were $29,900.07. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in April 1942. The sounding survey of 'September 1945 indicates that the project depth of 20 feet is available between Sixth Street Bridge and the mouth of the river and project depth of 16.5 feet is available between the Sixth Street and Court Street Bridges. Maintenance dredging by the U. S. hopper dredge Burton has partially removed the shoaling in the 21-foot channel in the bay section. The costs have been as follows: Regular funds: New work ---------------------------------------- $2, 081, 579. 59 Maintenance .------------------------------------- 886, 519. 08 Total,------------------------------- ----------- 2, 968, 098. 67 Total expenditures were $2,943,591.97.

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 lollg; for dredging the main entrance, 600 feet wide, to a depth of 23 feet; and for dredging an anchorage area approximately 3,000 feet long by 1,200 feet wide to a depth of 21 feet. RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2047 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, meas- ured by monthly mean levels,.may be as much as 1.8 feet. During the past 33 navigation seasons the difference between the highest and low- est 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. 1 Aug. 8, 1917 Closing the north entrance and dredging the H.

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.-A sounding survey over the entire project was made during the period October 10 to 31, 1945, at a cost and expenditure of $1,577.70, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1928. The work consisted in the.construction of three breakwaters, the dredging of an entrance channel, and the dredging of an anchor- age area about 72 acres in extent under the protection of the break- waters. 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 en- trance 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 1945. The breakwaters are in fair condition, except that riprap along the 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 $1,471,319.44 for maintenance, a total of $2,671,917.61. Proposed operations.-No work is proposed during the fiscal years 1947 and 1948. 2048 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

For further details see page 1441 of Annual Report for 1916, and 1554 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.--This provides for a channel 20 feet deep from deep water in St. Clair River to the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge, 160 feet wide at the mouth, decreasing to 100 feet about 800 feet from the mouth, thence 100 feet wide for 2,600 feet, decreasing to 75 feet for a distance of 4,800 feet at upper end; widening two bends to 100 feet, one at the foot of Twelfth Street, and the other below the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge; and for a settling basin 75 feet wide and 20 feet deep, beginning at the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge in Port Huron and extending upstream a distance of about 2,300 feet. The length of the section included in the project is 10,500 feet. The project depth is referred to local low-water datum in the St. Clair River at the mouth of the Black River, which is 577.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the level of the river rises and falls from 4 to 6 feet, due to the fact that spring freshets raise the level considerably above the normal. The level also changes from day to day, due to winds, such changes amounting to several inches. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, exclusive of amounts'expended on previous projects, but including $140,000 to be contributed by local interests, is $250,000. 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2051 (3) Remove the existing Tenth Street Bridge, or replace it with a satisfactory structure. (4) Furnish satisfactory assurances that the United States will be protected from all claims for damages incident to the improvements. None of the above requirements 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 im- provement there are five other docks varying in length from 100 to 500 feet. All docks are privately owned and are restricted to the use of the owners. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce.. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A sounding survey over the entire project and repairs to the control system were made during April 1946 at a cost of $2,235.50, all for maintenance, and expendi- tures were $2,218. 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: Seventeen feet over the center 50 feet of the channel from the mouth of the Black River to the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge, except for a 16-foot shoal about 300 feet long and 1,000 feet below the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge; thence 15.5 feet over the center 50 feet of the settling basin past the Port Huron Sulphite & Paper Co. docks to the upper limit of the project.

ROUGE RIVER, MICH. Location.-The river rises in Oakland and Washtenaw Counties, Mich., is about 30 miles long, and flows in an easterly direction into the Detroit River. (See U.S. Lake Survey ChartNo. 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, tapering to 200 feet in a distance of 2,000 feet, thence 200 feet wide to Maples Road, including a turning basin, 21 feet deep, near the upper end of the project. (b) A channel 25 feet deep from that depth in Detroit River through the mouth of the old channel upstream for a distance of 1,300 feet, RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2053 with a width of 240 feet at the mouth, tapering to 100 feet at a dis- tance 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 rand 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 41/2 miles via the old channel. The project depths are referred to local low-water datum in the Detroit River at the mouth of the Rouge River, which is 572.2 feet above mean tide at New York. The level of this river, except dur- ing floods, changes with the level of the Detroit River, which fluctuates to an average extent of about 1.5 feet during the navigation season. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $841,200, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $56,900.

No. 19, 72d Cong., 1st sess. a Including Emergency Relief Administration work authorized May 28, 1935. Local cooperation.-The act approved August 30, 1935, provided that no Federal expenditures should be made on the improvements in the old channel until local interests had provided, without cost to the United States, all necessary rights-of-way and had furnished guaranties, satisfactory to the Secretary of War, protecting the United States against all damages to adjacent lands and property which may result from dredging operations. Except for the guaranties pro- tecting the United States against damages to adjacent lands and prop- erty along the 25-foot channel, this requirement has not been com- plied 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 2054 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 gypstm 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 existing commerce. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Meade operated over the entire project during the period July 1 to August 23, 1945, removing material in the amount of 145,833 cubic yards, bin measure, at a cost of $43,904.40. The U. S. hopper dredge Meade commenced dredging operations for the 1946 season on June 26, 1946, and removed material in the amount of 13,762 cubic yards, bin measure, at a cost of $5,450.31. A prior to maintenance dredging survey was made over the entire project at a cost of $1,739.31. The costs were $51,094.02, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $54,689.52. 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 Administration. Due to the shortage of funds, contract operations were restricted to a dis- tance 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 inter- ests have complied with the terms of local cooperation. The controlling depth in the 21-foot project is 21 feet for a mini- mum width of 100 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 require- ments 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 navigation 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.

MONROEI 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 riprapped protecting dikes on each side of the channel extending lakeward for a distance of about 1,200 feet; for a turning basin with an area of about 22 acres and depth of 18 feet. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The level of the river varies with that of Lake Erie, which fluctuates irregularly from year to year, the greatest annual fluctuation being about 21/4 feet and the least, about three-fourths of a foot as measured by monthly mean levels. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $777,500, ex- cluding $300,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1930) ap- proved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $35,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Feb. 24, 18351 9-foot channel, protected by revetments and piers_ Annual Report, 1872, p. 237.

Terminal faoilities.-At the city of Monroe are some small privately owned docks and a municipally owned terminal. These docks are open to all vessels upon equal terms. The Newton Steel Co. has con- structed a private dock. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Burton operated over the entire project (except the 9-foot portion) during the period August 1 to August 30, 1945, material in the amount of 107,600 cubic yards, bin measure, being removed. The costs were $27,630.02 for maintenance, 'and the expenditures were $28,455.44. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1936 except for the riprapping of the protecting dikes on each side of the channel which is not considered necessary at the present time in the interest of navigation. Due to the combined action of severe storms and continued high water, the dikes have largely disappeared. A sounding survey after dredging August 1945 indicates controlling depths as follows: 18 feet from Lake Erie to the Aluminum Co. of America dock, thence 16 feet to the lower end of the turning basin, thence 14 feet to the upper end of the 21 foot project, and 14 feet in the turning basin.

TOLEDO HARBOR, OHIO Location.-This harbor comprises the lower 7 miles of Maumee River and the channel about 16.5 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.) 721584-47-pt. 1, vol. 2--46 2060 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 turn- ing basin at the upper end, 18 feet deep and 8.25 acres in area; and for a stone-revetted earth dike, 1,000 feet long, to form a foundation for range lights in Maumee Bay. The projects depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water level are from 4 feet above to 2 feet below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 9 feet above to 7.6 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1936, was $5,110,400 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $125,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 Auxiliary channel above Fassett St. Bridge, and H. Doc.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied 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 four for coal are open to shippers of these commodities; one fuel dock and three docks with elevator facilities for handling grain. Three pipe- line docks for shipment of oil, one pipe-line dock for receipt of gaso- line, and three fish docks are private. Two package-freight terminals are open to all vessels on equal terms. Considerable wharf frontage is owned by railroads, which is available for the transshipment of miscellaneous cargoes, such as lumber, etc., to and from cars. Of 10 sand and gravel docks, 2 are for public use. Four docks at street ends are owned by the city of Toledo at which freight may be loaded or unloaded free of charge, no storage being allowed. Terminal facilities are regarded as adequate for existing commerce. RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2061 Operationsand results during fiscal year.--The U. S. hopper dredges Taylor, Burton, and Savannah operated over the entire project during the periods, July 26 to October 23, August 31 to October 9, and August 15 to October 13, 1945, removing material in the amounts of 402,331 cubic yards, 100,215 cubic yards, and 223,134 cubic yards, bin measure, respectively; the costs were $75,588.09, $33,639.91, and $53,768.42, re- spectively. The U. S. hopper dredge Savannah commenced dredging operations for the 1946 season on June 20, 1946, and removed material in the amount of 20,255 cubic yards, bin measure, at a cost of $22,000. Repairs were made to the Maumee Bay Range dike by the derrick boat Erie during the period September 12 to October 15, 1945, at a cost of $7,966.87. Prior to maintenance dredging survey was made April 1 to June 30, 1946, over the entire project at a cost of $9,524.57. A field office was maintained for supervision of the harbor and miscel- laneous surveys and inspections at a cost of $6,035.64. The costs were $208,523.50 for maintenance and the expenditures were $186,121.06. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1936. Maintenance dredging has restored project depths over the center 350 feet of the lake section and in the river channel 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 costs have been as follows: Regular funds: New work and maintenance prior to 1903 (not separable) - -- $1, 410, 262. 25 Maintenance since 1903-------------------------- 3, 062, 603. 17 Total ------------------------------------------- 4, 472, 865. 42 Public Works funds, new work ---------------------------- 3, 690, 000. 00 Total, all funds ----------------------------------- 8, 162, 865. 42 The expenditures have been as follows: Regular funds_--------------------------------------- $4, 448, 506. 78 Public Works funds ------------------------------------- 3, 690, 000. 00 Total, all funds-----------------------------------8, 138, 506. 78 Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($193,132.81) will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1946----------------------------- $24, 358. 64 Maintenance: Dredging by U.

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. Ordi- RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2063 nary 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.--A sounding survey was made over the entire project during the period July 6 to 9, 1945, at a cost and expenditure of $500, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939. The sounding survey of July 1945 indicates full project depths were available throughout. The costs and expenditures have been $51,746.56 for new work and $500 for maintenance, a total of $52,246.56. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed during the fiscal years 1947 and 1948.

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.) 2064 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Existing project,-This provides for parallel stone and pile jetties at the mouth of the river, the east jetty 2,200 feet long and the west jetty 1,980 feet long, extending to the 10-foot contour in the lake, and for dredging a channel to a depth of 10 feet and 100 feet wide, widen- ing 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 maintenance 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. Terminal facilities.-There are five private docks and one public fish dock, one private sand dock, and one public fueling dock which is also used as a private lumber and cargo coal terminal. One dock, at the foot of Madison Avenue, is owned by the village of Port Clinton and is open to the public. One shipyard does some business in the building of small boats and launches. Terminal facilities are regarded as adequate for the needs of existing commerce. Operations and results during,fiscal year.-A sounding survey was made over the entire project during the period July 2 to 9, 1945, at a cost and expenditure of $700, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1893. The work done consisted in the construction of two jetties, completed in 1883, and in dredging a channel from the lake to the highway bridge, completed in 1893. Project dimensions were availa- ble over the entire channel following maintenance dredging in 1942. The east pier is in poor condition. The head of navigation for light- draft boats is about 12 miles above the mouth of the river.

Location.-Sebewaing River drains an area of about 105 square miles in Huron and Tuscola Counties on the westerly side of the Thumb area of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and discharges into Saginaw Bay, an arm of Lake Huron, about 20 miles northeast of the mouth of Saginaw River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Existing project.-This provides for the enlarging of the present chahnel of the Sebewaing River, through the village of Sebewaing, Mich., to a capacity of 7,500 cubic feet per second from the junction of the Columbia and State drains to a point 4,500 feet lakeward of the railroad bridge near the mouth, for altering the railroad bridge and three highway bridges to permit free passage of ice, and for removal of the present dike on the south side of the channel lakeward of the railroad bridge. The plan of improvement proposed will provide protection for the village of Sebewaing from floods with a frequency of occurrence of once in 15 years and with a magnitude greater than the maximum flood of record. The eiisting 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 (1946) cost of construction is $351,500. The ap- proved estimate (1941) for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. Local interests have signified their willingness to cooperate in the plan of im- provement. Operations and results during fiscal year.-During the fiscal year contract plans and specifications for the authorized flood-control plan of improvement were completed. The approved program for stream gaging was continued., A sounding and cross-section survey was made over the entire project during the period of March 11 to April 25, 1946, to determine quantities prior to dredging, at a cost of $5,040.24. Preparation of plans and specifications were completed at a cost of $1,956.16. Stream gaging was continued at a cost of $800. Total costs were $7,796.40, and expenditures were $7,316.10, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction work has been done. The work is being held in abeyance pending furnishing neces- sary rights-of-way by local interests and required assurance that the United States will be held free for any claims due to construction work. For preparation of preliminary data and contract plans and specifications, and for stream gaging, the total costs have been $14,814.35 and expenditures have been $14,334.05, all for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year ($237,165.95) will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1946----------------------------------- $480. 30 New work: Begin construction of the flood-control project by contract, April 1947 ---------------------------------------- 235, 885. 65 Stream-gaging program--------------- ------------- 800. 00 Total _2---------------- ------------------ 237, 165. 95 FLOOD CONTROL--DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2069 Additional funds in the amount of $100,000 can be profitably ex- pended during the fiscal year 1948 on new work to complete construc- tion of the flood-control project.

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.) 2073 2074 REPORT OF CHIEF-OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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. (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 excavated rock on the north side of the channel and basin. (c) Maintaining a channel to a depth of 22 feet from the turning basin northward about 3,540 feet, that portion opposite the Pennsyl- vania Railroad coal wharf to a width of 350 feet, and north thereof to a width of 400 feet; thence 300 feet wide northeastward 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 northeasterly 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 fluctua- tlions 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. HDoc.

Y., DISTRICT 2075 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 from claims for damages resulting from the improvement. These conditions have been complied with and approved on July 17, 1946. All prior condi- tions have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is an extensive coal terminal adjacent to the turning basin at the westerly end of the dock channel open to shippers of coal. 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 sounded and swept the channels at a cost of $1,808.36 for maintenance. The expenditure was $1,173.43. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. The protecting works are generally in poor condition. The east jetty has settled from its original elevation of 4.3 feet to about 1 or 2 feet above low-water datum and in some places it has settled to below low-water datum. The stone in the dike has disintegrated and washed out. In many places the dike is down to low-water datum. The controlling depth in the straight, outer bar and bay channels is 21 feet and in the dock channel and turning basin it is 20 feet at low- water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $3,458,884.22, of which $2,597,258.21, including $599,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $861,626.01 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,458,644.29, including $599,500 Public Works funds. In addition $325,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1946------------------------------- $239. 93 Maintenance: Dredging, sweeping, and removing obstructions from the dock, strait, bay, and outer bar channels and turning basin by Government plant, July to September 1946-_ $54, 746. 11 Sweeping channels and turning basin by Govern- ment plant, May 1947_ _ __ --------------------- 1, 700. 00 56, 446. 11 Total_ 56, 686. 04 Redredging and sweeping are required annually.

HURON HARBOR, OHIO Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie at the mouth of the Huron River, 47 miles westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 363.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of May 20, 1826, and September 19, 1890. For further details see page 1961 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1576 of Annual Report for 1938. Etmisting project.-This provides for a pier 3,170 feet long on the west side of the entrance channel, the shoreward 1,970 feet consisting of timber cribs with concrete superstructure and the remaining 1,200 feet of rubble-mound construction, with a timber-crib concrete super- structure pierhead at its outer end; for a rubble-mound east break- water 1,450 feet long, with a concrete light foundation at its outer end, founded on the rubble-mound; for a steel-sheet pile shore pro- tection extending 200 feet westerly from near the shoreward end of the west pier; for a channel with a depth of 26 feet in the hard ma- terial and 25 feet in soft material extending from deep water in the lake to the south side of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway Co.'s slip No. 1, at the entrance of the river, the channel to be 400 feet wide RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2077 in the lake and 300 feet wide inward of the outer pierhead, narrowing to 250 feet at the head of the channel; and for the enlargement but not maintenance of the turning basin, 19 feet deep, opposite the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway Co.'s ore dock. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary 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 5.5 feet above to 2.5 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1935, was $1,152,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1944) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $32,000.

' Partially included in Public Works Administration program, Nov. 15, 1933. 2 Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway Co. has deepened and maintained the channel above the limits of the Federal improvement. This company has a dock with a frontage of over 1 mile, which affords facilities for handling iron ore, coal, sand, and limestone, together with dock space for lumber, etc. Three fish docks are private. The town of Huron owns a dock at the foot of South Street, which is open to the public. The facilities are regarded as ade- quate 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 123,857 cubic yards of material from the channel for restoration of project depth, at a cost of $38,159.81 for mainte- nance. The total expenditure was $38,461.17. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1940. The harbor works are generally in fair condition except for a portion of the west pier, where the concrete is broken and the wall is tilting and moving channelward, and for portions of the east break- 2078 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 water, where the slope stones have pulled away and the deck stones have dropped. The controlling depth in the channel is 25 feet at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $1,557,825.41, of which $1,034,350.01, including $561,251.52 Public Works funds, was for new work and $523,475.40 for maintenance.

LORAIN HARBOR, OHIO Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie at the mouth of the Black River, 28 miles westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 357.) 'Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of May 23, 1828. For further details, see page 1961 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1580 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) An outer harbor about 60 acres in area formed by converging rubble-mound breakwaters with an aggregate length of 6,350 feet and having an entrance 500 feet wide between pierheads of timber cribs with concrete superstructure located at the outer ends of the break- waters. (b) Two piers at the mouth of the river 300 feet apart, the west pier of timber cribs with concrete superstructure 1,003 feet long, and the east pier 1,875 feet long, of which 1,763 feet is of timber cribs with concrete superstructure and 112 feet is of sheet-pile construction. (c) A depth of 25 feet in soft material and 26 feet in hard material in the outer harbor and the river channel to a point 2,200 feet upstream from the outer ends of the piers, thence 24 feet deep in soft material and 25 feet in hard material to the upper end of the American Ship- building Co. drydock No. 2; thence for a channel of the same depths and generally 200 feet wide suitably widened at the bends, to the upper end of the National Tube Co.'s dock, with a turning basin 650 feet wide and 20 feet deep in the bend of the Black River immediately up- stream from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co.'s coal dock, and ap- proximately 690 feet wide and 17 feet deep opposite the National Tube Co.'s dock; no project dredging above drydock No. 2 to be closer than 50 feet to existing and future docks or bulkheads. (d) An approach channel 16 feet deep extending from the outer harbor to the municipal pier. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water level are from 3 feet above to 0.5 foot below water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 5 feet above to 2 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $2,741,000 exclusive of $3,000 contributed by local interests, and amounts ex- pended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $44,500. 2080 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-Dredgingof 20-foot turning basin is subject to the provision that local interests furnish without cost to the United States necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way and spoil dis- posal 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 im- provement. These conditions have not been complied with. Prior conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-One iron ore and one coal terminal, together with dock space for storage of sand, transshipment of lumber, etc., to or from cars, are open to the public. Extension docks of the Na- tional Tube Co. handle iron ore, limestone, and sand, and are not open to the public. Two sand and three fish docks are privately owned. RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2081 The American Shipbuilding Co. has drydocks and facilities for build- ing and repairing the largest lake vessels. The city of Lorain owns two docks without rail connections which are open to the public. The facilities are regarded as adequate for existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 8, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year-Newo work.-Contract operations for deepening the easterly and westerly portions of the outer harbor were 42 percent completed at the end of the year, 86,440 cubic yards of material were removed and the cost for the year was $69,912.79. Maintenance-Government plant and hired labor removed 217,695 cubic yards of material for the restoration of project depth in the outer harbor and river channel at a cost of $75,000.94. The total cost for the year was $144,913.73, of which $69,912.79 was for new work and $75,000.94 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $116,397.60. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 96 percent completed. An outer harbor has been provided by constructing breakwaters and pierheads completed in 1915, except the extension of the west breakwater to shore, which was completed in 1921. A channel through the outer harbor to the entrance to Black River was deepened to 25 feet in 1937, also a channel 16 feet deep to themunicipal 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 depth in 1937 and 1938 and the turning basin widened in 1944. The easterly and westerly portions of the outer harbor are being deepened to project depth of 25 feet below low-water datum by contract. The work to be done to complete the project consists of deepening the turning basin immediately upstream from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co.'s coal dock. The protection works are generally in poor condition. At various locations on the lake face of the west breakwater, stones have shifted, leaving holes in the wall, and in many sections of the east breakwater the stones above water have deteriorated and shifted to the extent that breaching of the wall is imminent. 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 16 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 $3,459,990.18, of which $2,614,703.58, including $165,000 Public Works funds, was for new work, and $845,286.60, including $76,300 Public Works funds, for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,433,041.91, including $241,300 :Public Works funds. In addition $3,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work. 2082 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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

Terrinal facilities.-There is no commercial navigation at Rocky River. The terminal facilities consist of private docks for pleasure boats. One dock, owned by the city of Lakewood, is open to the public. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No work has been done and no expenditures have been incurred. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1941. In a 100-foot section of the east pier, the concrete is disinte- grating, cracking, and falling off, and in a 120-foot section of the rubble-mound wall the slope stone has been displaced and the: deck stone dropped. The controlling depth in the channel is 9 feet at low- water datum. The total cost and expenditure of the existing project was $110,- 526.02, of which $83,971.19 was for new work and $26,554.83 was for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed during fiscal year 1947: Dredging and sweeping are required periodically. The sum of $5,300 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for maintenance dredging of the project area by United States derrick boat during the summer of 1947.

Local cooperation.-Theact of August 26, 1937, provides for widen- ing of the channels in the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers, subject to the conditions that local interests defray all costs of the modification or rebuilding of bridges, bulkheads, other structures, and submarine cross- ings, 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 undertake the dredging thereof. The act of October 17, 1940, provides for making cuts or parts of cuts before the related railroad bridges are modified or rebuilt when in the opinion of the Chief of Engineers such procedure will be advantageous to navigation. Local cooperation for dredging all the cuts and the turning basin has been complied with and approved except for the remaining parts of cuts 1, 3, 4, and 5. The act of July 24, 1946, provides for elimination of the proviso requiring modification of obstructive railroad bridges at non-Federal expense. 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 Secre- tary of War that they will (a) furnish without cost to the United RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2087 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; pro- vided 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 Corpora- tion project. The act of July 24, 1946, provides for the improvement of Cuyahoga and Old Rivers to a depth*of 23 feet and for the replacement or pier reconstruction of seven railroad bridges, subject to the conditions that responsible local agencies furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secre- tary of War that, without cost to the United States, they will (a) make all necessary changes to buildings and highway bridge structures, (b) construct all necessary bulkheads, (c) furnish all necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way for the channel, except such land needed for the waterway as is now occupied by railroad structures, and (d) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction work. These conditions have not been complied with. All prior conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are approximately 47 terminals for the handling of various types of cargoes, the most important of which are iron ore, steel products, coal, scrap, cement, sand and gravel, grain, petroleum products, and sulfur. In general, the terminals operated by the railroads which include two of the iron-ore and two of the coal terminals,'are open to shippers of the commodities handled. The city of Cleveland owns two terminals which are leased to vessel lines for miscellaneous freight and passenger terminals. The United States Engineer Department owns a wharf at the foot of East Ninth Street which is private. The facilities are considered adequate for the exist- ing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 5, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.--Government plant and hired labor removed 151,010 cubic yards of material for the restora- tion of project depth in the outer harbor and entrance channel at a cost of $56,534.24 and made repairs to the west breakwater pierhead at a cost of $35,478.25. Contract was completed for the removal of 126,916 cubic yards of material at a cost of $56,132.83 for restoration of project depth in the outer harbor and entrance channel. Main- tenance of Cuyahoga and Old Rivers was continued and 356,560 cubic yards of material were removed by contract at a cost of $212,136.29. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $360,281.61. The total expenditure was $362,235.62. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 30 percent complete. The river entrance channel has been improved by the construction of parallel piers 325 feet apart and dredging to a depth of 25 feet at low-water datum up to the New York Central Railroad bridge. The piers were completed in 1900 and the dredging in 1935. An outer harbor, about 1,300 acres in extent, has been formed 2088 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 by the construction of an aggregate length of about 30,000 feet of breakwater, including converging arms, completed in 1915. The main entrance has been widened to 700 feet and protected by converging arms extending lakeward from the east and west breakwaters, com- pleted in 1908. The outer harbor was deepened, 1933 to 1935, to 25 feet at low-water datum throughout the west basin, in the entrance channel, and over a portion of the east basin adjacent to the entrance channel; over the remaining portion of the east basin a depth of 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 of150 feet of easterly end of west breakwater and construc- tion of 400 feet of spur breakwater to protect the gap in the west breakwater shore arm were completed in 1935. A concrete base for a light tower was constructed at east end of east breakwater in 1917 in lieu of the east-end pierhead. Providing a 1,300-foot extension of the Cuyahoga River channel to the present project limit was au- thorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, and partially completed with Defense Plant Corporation funds during 1942. The harbor structures require extensive repairs. Completing the remainder of the channel extension, widening por- tions of the Cuyahoga River, deepening Cuyahoga River to 23 feet, and replacement or pier reconstruction of seven railroad bridges re- main 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 channel through the east basin, 22 feet. Depths elsewhere in the east basin within the project area range from 10 to 30 feet. The controlling depth in the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers was 21 feet, and in the lower turning basin, 18 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $11,154,909.29 of which $6,322,603.64 including $616,767.03 Public Works funds, was for new work and $1,832,305.64 including $125,000 Public Works funds, for maintenance. The total expenditure was $11,111,954.46 including $741,767.03 Public Works funds. In addition, $50,000 was expended from contributed funds for maintenance.

FAIRPORT HARBOR, OHIO Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Grand River, 33 miles easterly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 346.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1825, and May 20, 1.826.' For further details see page 1963 of An- nual Report for 1915, and page 1590. of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) An outer harbor about 360 acres in area formed by a system of breakwaters comprising a west breakwater, 3,878 feet long, con- nected with the shore, consisting of 825 feet of timber-crib sub-struc- ture with stone superstructure and sea slope, 2,553 feet of rubble- mound construction, and 500 feet of cellular steel sheet piling with concrete caps; and an east breakwater 6,750 feet long, of rubble-mound construction. (b) A west breakwater pierhead of steel-sheet piling with concrete cap and an east breakwater pierhead of timber-crib substructure with concrete superstructure. (c) An east river pier 1,252 feet long, 578 feet of timber-crib sub- structure with concrete superstructure, the inner 674 feet not maintained. (d) Removal of the old west pier and construction of a cellular steel-sheet pile bulkhead 500 feet long and 300 feet west of the west- erly face of the east pier. (e) A depth of 25 feet in soft material and 26 feet in hard material in the outer harbor. (f) A channel in Grand River 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide ex- tending from the outer harbor a distance of 2,000 feet upstream from the outer end of the east river pier; thence of the same depth with a width of 150 feet to the angle in the ore terminal, a farther distance RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2091 of 1,700 feet; and thence with a depth of 21 feet, and with widths varying from 200 to 100 feet for a distance of 4,000 feet to the end of the stone receiving terminal of the Diamond Alkali Co., with a turn- ing basin 18 feet deep, 760 feet long, and 400 feet wide about midway in this section. (g) A channel in Grand River 8 feet deep at the upper end of and adjacent to the west side of the 21-foot project channel, no dredging to be done closer than 20 feet from the westerly dock lines. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctu- ations of water level are between 3 feet above and 0.5 foot below low- water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 4 feet above to 1 foot below that plane. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $2,518,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $79,000.

Local cooperation.-TheRiver and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, requires local interests to contribute $304,000 toward the cost of ex- tending the breakwater 4,000 feet and dredge the channel of approach to their terminal at their own expense. The River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930, waived the condition requiring local interests to contribute to the cost of the breakwater extension. The condition requiring dredging has not been complied with. The act of July 24, 1946, provides for the 8-foot channel subject to the condition that local interests agree to hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from the improvement. This condition has not been complied with. 721584-47-pt. 1, vol. 2-48 2092 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 All other conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-One large ore terminal, one coal dock, and one dock equipped with a warehouse for miscellaneous freight and elevator for handling grain do a general public business. One lime- stone dock, one sand and gravel dock, six 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 244,325 cublic yards of material from the outer harbor, river channel, and turning basin for restoration of project depths at a cost of $72,125.32 for maintenance. The expenditure was $70,870.56. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 99 percent complete. The river entrance has been improved by the con- struction of an east pier, completed in 1904, and the removal of the old west pier and construction of the bulkhead, completed in 1939. The east breakwater was completed in 1931 and the west breakwater in 1935. The river channel was deepened to project depths and the turning basin was excavated in 1939. The outer harbor was deepened, and the river channel was widened at its mouth in 1940. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the deepening to 8 feet of the westerly portion of the channel in Grand River at the upper end of the 21-foot channel. The controlling depth is 24 feet in the outer harbor, 24 feet in the river channel for 3,700 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 total cost of the existing project was $3,420,367.76 of which $2,496,653.97 including $187,772.04 Public Works funds, was for new work and $923,713.79 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,422,905.24, including $187,772.04 Public Works funds.

Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of May 20, 1826; March 3, 1829; July 3, 1832 ;-March 2, 1867; June 10, 1872; and March 3, 1881; and modified by the Secretary of War July 8, 1890. For further details see page 1963 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1593 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) An outer harbor about 185 acres in area protected by break- waters, the west breakwater 7,780 feet long, and the east breakwater 4,400 feet long, all of rubble-mound construction, except 430 feet of the west breakwater, which consists of timber-crib substructure and stone superstructure. (b) A west pierhead of timber-crib substructure and concrete super- structure. (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 break- water; thence 24 feet deep to the mouth of Ashtabula River; thence a channel 24 feet deep with a bottom width of 160 feet to a point 2,000 feet upstream; thence a channel 18 feet deep (except where ledge rock may be encountered) with a bottom width of 160 feet decreasing to 100 feet and suitably widened at the southerly end, to the upper car- ferry slip; thence a channel 16 feet deep (except where ledge rock may be encountered) with a bottom width of 100 feet suitably widened at bends and in the turning basin, to the southerly end of the turning basin; thence a channel 16 feet deep with a bottom width of 100 feet to a point 1,550 feet upstream of the turning basin; also an approach channel 24 feet deep, with a minimum width of 250 feet from the 24-foot-depth section of the outer harbor eastward of the New York Central Railroad Co.'s slip. (f) Maintenance to 21-foot depth of that portion of the outer har- bor between the deepened channel and a meridian line through the westerly angle of the east breakwater. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinarily fluctua- tions of water level are between 3 feet above and 0.5 foot below low- water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by winds or other causes, are from 4 feet to 1 foot below low-water datum. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $2,992,000, exclu- sive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $56,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river-and- harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2095 Acts Work authorized Documents June 3,1896 Construction of breakwater__ Annual Report, 1895, p. 3122. Mar. 3,1905 June 25,1910 Enlargement of outer harbor by extension of west H.

Local cooperation.-Extensionof the Ashtabula River channel up- stream 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 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 ade- quate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 9, 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work.-Contract work for subsurface investigation and preparing plans and specifica- tions by hired labor, for extending the river channel upstream, were completed at a cost of $2,752.87. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 202,936 cubic yards of material at a cost of $46,229.94 and made repairs to the w.est breakwater at a cost of $48,340.23. The total cost for the year was $97,323.04, of which $2,752.87 was for new work and $94,570.17 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $100,843.05. Conditioni at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 95- 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 breank iater 2096 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 completed in 1909, and the westerly 600 feet was removed in 1913 and 350 feet in 1935. The 18- and 16-foot sections of the river channel and the turning basin were deepened to project depth 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 up- stream from its mouth were deepened to project depths in 1940. The harbor structures are generally in fair condition but require repairs. Portions of both the east breakwater and the west break- water where the slope stone has pulled away, the core stone has washed away, and the deck stones have dropped, require major 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 thereof, 20 feet in the east basin, 24 feet in the approach channel to the New York Central Railroad Co.'s slip, and in the Ashtabula River channel to a point 2,000 feet upstream from its mouth, 18 feet to the upper car ferry slip, and 16 feet up to and including the turning basin. The total cost of the existing project was $3,642,549.86 of which $2,856,757.11, including $536,648.38 Public Works funds, was for new work and $785,792.75 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,648,624.82, including $536,648.38 Public Works funds.

Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1829, July 13, 1892, February 24, 1893, and June 3, 1896. For fur- ther details, see page 1964 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1597 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) An outer harbor, the deepened portion of which is about 142 acres in area formed by a system of breakwaters comprising a west breakwater 5,965 feet long, connected with the shore, with a 100-foot gap, 1,670 feet from shore, all of rubble-mound construction, and an east breakwater 3,675 feet long, 2,625 feet of which is rubble-mound construction and 1,050 feet of timber cribs with concrete super- structure. (b) A west breakwater pierhead of tiinber-crib substructure with concrete superstructure. (c) An east breakwater light foundation of concrete superstructure founded on the outer end of the rubble-mound. (d) An entrance 600 feet wide between the west breakwater pier- head and the east breakwater light foundation. (e) An east pier 1,008 feet long of timber-crib substructure and con- crete superstructure. (f) A depth of 25 feet in soft material and 26 feet in hard material in the eastern portion of the outer harbor and for a depth of 20 feet in the remainder of the outer harbor, consisting of a triangular area with its apex about 900 feet southerly from the west breakwater pier- head, its southeasterly angle 800 feet westerly from the west pier, its southwesterly angle 100 feet from the west breakwater. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water level are between 3 feet above and 0.5 foot below low- water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 4 feet above to 1 foot below low-water datum. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $4,211,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1944) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $44,000.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Local interests maintain the river channel to provide access to terminals in the river, comprising one coal terminal which is open to shippers of coal, one iron-ore, one stone, 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 removed 98,935 cubic yards of material for the restoration of project depth in the outer harbor at a cost of $34,885.88 and made repairs to the west breakwater and east pier at a cost of $49,991.11. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $84,876.99. The ex- penditure was $81,423.85. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 78 percent complete. Under existing project, a length of 4,445 feet of the new west breakwater was completed in 1916; the old east break- water, 1,050 feet long, was extended shoreward 800 feet (completed 1911) and lakeward 900 feet (completed 1923). The 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 con- structed at the mouth of the Conneaut River. Removal of west pier and 459 feet of east pier was completed in 1934. The east pier is now 1,008 feet long. 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 550 feet was built up to its original elevation during 1941 to 1945. At several places along the remainder of the west breakwater and along the east breakwater the slope stone along the lakeside is 2100 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 disintegrating and pulling away and the deck stone is settling. The timber fender on the east pier is i very poor condition and in some places is entirely gone. Other harbor structures are generally in fair 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 re- mainder-of the outer harbor to 20 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $3,812,927.60 of which $3,270,446.92, including $1,010,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $542,480.68 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,814,686.14 including $1,010,500 Public Works funds. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended and the accounts receivable at the end of the fiscal year will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Dredging outer harbor by United States hopper dredge, October 1946--------------------------------------------- $22, 000. 00 Repairing inner end of west breakwater by Government plant, September 1946------------------------------_-- 10, 500. 00 Sweeping and removing obstructions in the outer harbor by Government plant, July and September 1946---------_ 5, 367. 76 Total-------------------------------------_ _____ 37, 867. 76 The westerly portion of the outer harbor should be deepened to project depths to complete the project.

ERIE HARBOR, PA. Location.-On the southerly side of the bay formed by Presque Isle Peninsula, on the south shore of Lake Erie, 78 miles westerly from Buffalo, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 332.) Previous projects.--Adopted by River and Harbor Act of May 26, 1824, and modifications were subsequently made by approval of the report of a board of engineers in 1855 and in 1865: by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867; by approval of the report of a board of engineers in 1870; and by River and Harbor Acts of August 5, 1886, and September 19, 1890. For further details see page 1965 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1600 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) An entrance channel 25 feet deep in soft material and 26 feet deep in hard material, 500 feet wide lakeward of the entrance piers, and 300 feet wide between the piers and into the harbor. (b) A channel of the same depths and 600 feet wide from the en- trance channel to a line 50 feet outside of the pierhead line at the ore terminal, suitably widened at the junction with the entrance channel. (c) A harbor area 21 feet deep, approximately 117 acres, extending westerly from the 600-foot channel for a distance of about 2,100 feet 2102 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946, 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, extend- ing 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 lake- ward 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 emergency protection work on the peninsula. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions 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 1946, is $1,619,000', exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for anniual cost of maintenance is $41,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents May 26, 1824 Breakwater and piers; dredging entrance channel; Annual Report, 1915, p. 1965. and brushwood protection of beach of Presque Isle Peninsula.'

RIVERS AND HARBORS BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2103 Local cooperation.-Providingan approach channel 23 feet deep, including a turning basin, to the westerly docks is subject to the con- dition 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 damages incidental to the work or maintenance thereof. These conditions 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 elevator, and one municipal pier at which miscellaneous freight is handled. There are two small boat basins in which there are docks for fish, marine repair work, and small pleasure craft. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operationsand results duringfiscal year-New Work.--Preparatory work was done on plans and specifications for deepening an approach channel and turning basin to the westerly docks by hired labor at a cost for the year of $32.07. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor remove 74,783 cubic yards of material for the restoration of project depths in the channels and basin area at a cost of $36,889.25 and made a post con- struction survey lakeward of Presque Isle Peninsula to determine the effects of the protection work previously constructed, at a cost of $3,687.80. The total cost for the year was $40,609.12 of which $32.07 was for new work and $40,577.05 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $54,689.44. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 47 percent completed. 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 triagular areas along the southeasterly and southwesterly limits of the approach channel, was completed in 1939. The 21-fopt harbor basin was deepened in 1940. The harbor structures are generally in poor condition. In approxi- mately 540 feet of the north pier the concrete has disintegrated, broken and dropped. In the outer 200-foot section of the south break- water the slope stone on the channel side has pulled away and dropped. 2104 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946, In approximately 100 feet of the south pier the concrete has disinte- grated, broken, and dropped. The Presque Isle Peninsula protection works are generally in good condition except for a 750-foot section of steel sheet pile and stone protection built in 1930, immediately north of the repair made by contract in 1944, which has failed. The stone protection in some portions of the wall has settled permitting the piling to tip lakeward to the extent that it offers litle protection to the peninsula. The sand fill landward of a considerable portion of the wall previously repaired has washed away. 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, fo t of State Street. The total cost of the existing project was $3,155,020.31 of which $767,307.09 was for new work and $2,387,713.22 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,155,772.31. In addition, there was a cost and expenditure of $148,500 from contributed funds for maintenance.

The types of construction are as follows: 9,550 linear feet of rubble mound; 14,154 linear feet of timber-crib substructure surmounted with 9,113 linear feet of concrete, 370.5 linear feet of stone, and 4,670.5 linear feet of stone-concrete superstructure. (b) A south pier at the entrance to the inner harbor (Buffalo River), 1,760 feet long, of timber cribs and piles with concrete and stone super- structure. (c) A depth of 25 feet in the south entrance and that portion of the outer harbor south of a line perpendicular to and 2,000 feet north of the southerly end of the south breakwater and a depth of 23 feet north of that line, with the westerly project limit 150 feet from the axes of the breakwaters and the easterly project Jimit 50 feet from the United States harbor line; and removal to a depth of 27 feet of three small shoals located on the direct route of approach to the south entrance. (d) A north entrance channel 800 feet wide with a depth of 25 feet in earth and 26 feet in rock from deep water in the lake to the outer harbor; and a depth of 22 feet in earth and 23 feet in rock in the Buffalo 2110 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

(e) Channels in Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal with depths of 22 feet in earth and 23 feet in rock to the upper Delaware, Lacka- wanna & Western Railroad Co. bridge and to the Lehigh Valley Rail- road 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 aproximately 13 feet. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions 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 1946, is $11,976,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $172,000.

Y., DISTRICT 2111 Local cooperatioin.--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 improve- ment 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 triangular 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 until responsi- ble local interests furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will construct necessary bulkheads 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 termi- nals, 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 improvement and its subsequent maintenance. Assurances have not as yet been received. All prior conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are approximately 55 terminals for the handling of all types of cargoes. The most important cargoes handled are iron ore, coal, grain, limestone, sand and gravel, steel products, scrap, flour, petroleum products, and sulfur. In general, the terminals operated by the railroads and lake-transportation com- panies and most of the grain elevators are open to the public. The city of Buffalo owns two terminals and the State of New York owns two barge canal terminals. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 1, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Plans and specifications for deepening Buffalo River entrance channel, Buffalo River and Ship Canal and north entrance channel to project depths, were partially completed by hired labor at a cost for the year of $7,038.34. Maintenance.--Government plant and hired labor removed 173,667 cubic yards of material from the outer harbor and Buffalo River en- trance at a cost of $53,195.25, removed obstructions from the Buffalo River, Buffalo River entrance channel and the north entrance channel at a cost of $7,132.05 and made repairs to the Stony Point breakwater and the south pier at a cost of $1,438.51. Maintenance of Buffalo River and Ship Canal by contract was continued and 131,757 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost for the year of $89,836.90 The total cost for the year was $158,641.05, of which $7,038.34 was for new work and $151,602.71, including $50,000 from contributed funds, for maintenance. The total expenditure was $158,828.64, in- cluding $50,000 from contributed funds. 2112 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 22 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 break- water in 1893, and the south pier in 1869. The 23-foot project area in the outer harbor and the north-end en- trance chanenl has been deepened to project depth except for strips 50 feet wide along the breakwater and the harbor line and 180 feet wide between the Saskatchewan Pool Terminal's and the Terminal's and Transportation Corp.'s piers. Buffalo River entrance channel has been deepened to 21 feet. The harbor structures are generally in good condition except for a portion of the south pier where the concrete has disintegrated, broken, and dropped, at various points of the south breakwater and old break- water where the slope stone on the lakeside has been displaced, por- tions of the stone banquette on the harbor side of the old breakwater have dropped and the riprap protection along the lakeside of the northerly 1,200 feet of the old breakwater has dropped. 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. Con- trolling depth in the Buffalo River chanenl is 20 feet, and in the south- erly 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 approach 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 was $5,455,284.91 of which $2,659,606.67 including $655,500 Public Works funds was for new work and $2,795,678.24 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $5,397,734 including $655,500 Public Works funds. In addition, there was a cost and expenditure of $390,000 from contributed funds for maintenance.

BLACK ROCK CHANNEL AND TONAWANDA HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-This improvement is essentially that of the upper 131/2 miles of the Niagara River from its head at Lake Erie, Buffalo, N. Y., to and including Tonawanda Harbor, N. Y. It comprises the improve- ments 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 project for Black Rock Harbor and Channel was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1829. 'The original project for Tonawanda Harbor and Niagara River was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. For further details see items 5 and 7, page 1970, of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1612 of Annual Report for 1938. 2116 REPORT OF CHIEF, OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1940 Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep from Buffalo Harbor, north entrance channel, to opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, total length 13 /2 miles, as follows: from Buffalo north entrance channel to the foot of Maryland Street, Buffalo, a dis- tance 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 Inter- national Bridge. From the lock the channel is 400 feet wide in the Niagara River to the natural deep-water pool at the upstream end of Rattlesnake Island, a distance of 3.4 miles; thence through natural deep water to the downstream end of the deep-water pool at the Tona- wanda waterworks intake crib, a distance of about 4.7 miles, widened to 500 feet opposite the Wickwire Spencer Steel Co.'s plant by the re- moval 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 Tonawonda, a distance of 5,000 feet, ending in a turning basin about 1,230 feet long and 1,250 feet wide extending to a point opposite Sixth Avenue. The project also provides for the removal of rock shoals from the Lake Erie entrance to the canal and in the canal south of Ferry Street Bridge, to a depth of 22 feet; for a channel 16 feet deep, 6,800 feet long, and generally 400 feet wide in Tonawanda Inner Harbor; for a channel 16 feet deep, 1,400 feet long, and generally 180 feet wide in Tonawanda Creek; for a ship lock at Bridge Street, Buffalo; for a bridge over the canal at Ferry Street, Buffalo; for the repair and 800- foot extension of Bird Island pier; for the improvement and extension of the guide pier.; and for the repair of the towpath wall. The project depth in the canal is referred to low-water datum in Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The project depth in the river is referred to the river surface when Lake Erie is at low-water datum. Ordinary fluctuations of water level above the lock are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations produced by winds and other causes are about 9 feet above to 31/2 feet below that plane. River fluctuations gradually decrease to about 70 percent of fluctuations above the lock when they reach North Tonawanda. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $10,755,000, 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. Description of Black Rock lock Location: Foot of Bridge Street, Buffalo, N.

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. 2118 'REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, .U. S. ARMY, 1946 Along the upstream end of the channel there are two small boat harbors, one unused seaplane terminal, and one Naval Militia dock. Below the Black Rock lock and at Tonawanda Harbor there are five terminals for petroleum products, two for iron ore and coal, three for coal, one for molasses, four for sand and gravel, one for lumber, one for wood pulp and paper, and two 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.- Plans and specifications for deepening the triangular area at the Lake Erie entrance to the canal were completed by hired labor at a cost of $9,646.49. Plans and specifications were completed by hired labor and contract operations started for the removal of rock shoals in the Lake Erie entrance to Black Rock Canal, in the Black Rock Canal and in the Niagara River portion of the channel at a cost for the year of $10,964.71. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 68,753 cubic yards of material from Black Rock Channel and Tonawanda Harbor at a cost of $41,795.89, and repaired Bird Island Pier at a cost of $46,406. Operating, and care.-The lock was in continuous operation 275 days and in operation during the day only for 77 days. The lock was closed March 18 to 30, 1946, inclusive, for underwater cleaning and repair. The Ferry Street Bridge was in continuous operation 275 days and in operation during the day only 90 days. The signal sta- tion at the foot of West Genesee Street, Buffalo, N. Y., was in continu- ous operation 250 days and was closed from December 21, 1945, to April 15, 1946, inclusive. The cost for the fiscal year was $138,014.53. The total cost for theyear was $246,127.62 of which $19,911.20 was for new work, $88,201.89 for maintenance, and $138,014.53 for oper- ating and care. The total expenditure was $245,604.75. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 74 percent complete. The channel from Buffalo Harbor north entrance to opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, is completed except for removing rock shoals from Lake Erie to Ferry Street. The different sections of this channel were completed to project depth as follows: Lake Erie section in 1909; Black Rock canal section in 1915; Niagara River section from lock to deep-water pool above Tonawanda in 1913; and Tonawanda section including turning basin in 1921. The chan- nel was further widened as follows: The triangular area at Lake Erie entrance to the canal was completed in 1922 and transferred from Buffalo Harbor project in 1945; 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 entrance 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 enlargement RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2119 of the Tonawanda turning basin and the extension of Bird Island pier were completed in 1936. The lock, including wing walls and retain- ing 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 north- erly extension and construction of concrete platform in the angle. The bridge at Ferry Street was completed in 1914 and the lock-oper- ating 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, completion of removing rock shoals from Black Rock channel from Lake Erie to Ferry Street, and widening the Lake Erie entrance to the canal. All structures except Ferry Street Bridge are in poor condition. Both the towpath wall and Bird Island pier are badly deteriorated and require considerable annual maintenance. During the past season the pier was breached for a length of approximately 250 feet, and several sections of the towpath wall fail yearly, requiring removal of stone and debris from the channel and repair of the structure. The operating equipment and controls for the Black Rock lock are anti- quated and inefficient. The upper wing wall of the lock has shifted laterally approximately 2 feet at the maximum point and the concrete superstructure on the lower wing wall is badly cracked indicating a possible failure of the timber crib. 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 $10,362,729.81 of which $7,977,131.85 including $1,764,921.94 Emergency Relief funds was for new work, $1,209,504.44 for maintenance, and $1,176,093.52 for oper- ating and care. The total expenditure was $10,370,414.18 including $1,764,921.94 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 indefinite appro- priation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the accounts receivable at the end of the fiscal year will be applied as follows: New work: Costs outstanding in connection with the prepa- ration of plans and specifications for widening the Lake Erie entrance to the canal by hired labor, July 1946 $1, 000. 00 Removing rock shoals in the Lake Erie entrance to the canal, in the canal, and in the Niagara River, under the existing continuing contract, July 1946 to June 1947-_------ _ 957, 000. 00 $958, 000. 00 Maintenance:$958, Dredging, sweeping, and removing obstructions from Black Rock Channel by Government plant, July 1946______ ___________________ 27, 688. 95 Repairing towpath wall by Government plant, July 1946------------------------------- 7, 000. 00 34, 682. 95 2120 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 resolution dated November 27, 1941, ratifying executive G, Seventy-seventh Con- gress, and river and harbor funds were made available to the project by the Second Deficiency Appropriation Act approved July 5, 1945. Local cooperation.-Accordingto 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-New work.-The con- struction causeway and Tower Island, extending upstream to the site from the head of Goat Island, were maintained at a cost of $3,811.57; miscellaneous engineering studies were made at a cost of $739.30; and a net reimbursement of $403.26 was made to the United States by the 2122 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Dominion of Canada to balance the costs incurred by the two govern- ments during the calendar year 1945, for a total cost to the United States of $4,147.61. Maintenance.-The preparation of plans and specifications for the dismantling of the tail tower, the removal of the causeway, and the clean-up of the site by hired labor were partly completed at a cost of $80.39. The total cost to the United States for the year was $4,228, of which $4,147.61 was for new work and $80.39 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $4,344.05. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1946. 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 com- pleted in September 1942. Construction 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 fol- lows: 75 feet to elevation 552 feet; 700 feet to elevation 554 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 eleva- tion 554.5 feet, and the southerly end was extended toward the Cana- dian shore for a length of 75 feet to elevation 550 feet. During 1944, the weir was built to elevation 550 feet in the 190-foot gap between the Canadian shore and the weir, and holes discovered by soundings were filled. During 1945 and 1946, observations of hydraulic and ice effects were made. The work remaining to be done is maintenance and consists of the removal of construction plant and causeway, and clean-up of the site. The total cost of the existing project to the United States was $469,474.58, exclusive of a net adjustment of $105,529.89 made by the Dominion of Canada, or a total at the end of the year of $363,944.69 of which $363,864.30 was for new work and $80.39 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $469,187.37. In addition, there was a cost of about $364,000 in United States dollars to the Dominion of Canada. Proposedoperations.-The balance unexpended and the accounts re- ceivable at the end of the fiscal year, $93,760.60, will be applied to the dismantling of the tail tower, removal of the causeway and the clean- up of the site by contract during the fiscal year 1947 for maintenance, and for making hydraulic studies in the American channel by hired labor during the fiscal year 1948.

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 hear 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. 721584-47p---t. 1, vol. 2-50 2124 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1941, is $1,163,000, including $700,000 for compensating works, but is exclusive of $27,562.50 contributed by local interests, and amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1930) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $9,000, of which $5,000 is for maintenance of the compensating works.

Terminal facilities.-There are two terminals, one of which is occu- pied by a builder's supply company, whose facilities are open to ship- pers of commodities for which the facilities are suited. The other terminal is open to the public and has rail connections but no handling facilities. These facilities are considered adequate for the small amount of existing commerce. Additional terminal facilities have been assured as required under modification of project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor swept the channel at a cost and expenditure of $2,560.28 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 Niag- ara Falls waterworks intake to the foot of Hyde Park Boulevard were completed in 1934. The work remaining to be done is the construction of the compensating works just above the contracted section of the river at Fort Erie. The controlling depth in the channels is 11.4 feet at low-water datum. The total cost and expenditure of the existing project was $516,- 174.32 of which $463,386.62, including $94,512.24 Public Works funds, was for new work and $52,787.70 for maintenance. In addition, $27,562.50 was expended from contributed funds for new work.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2127 17. OLCOTT HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-This harbor consists of a pier-protected channelway in the mouth of Eighteen Mile Creek, on Lake Ontario, 18 miles east of the mouth of Niagara River and 63 miles by water west of Rochester Harbor, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 25.) Previous project.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and was modified by approval of the Chief of Engineers June 18, 1891. For further details see page 1971 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1821 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 12 feet deep and 140 feet wide from the lake to the inner ends of parallel timber crib piers about 200 feet apart, the west pier to be 873 feet long and the east pier 850 feet long. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Ontario, elevation 244 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water surface are from 4 feet above to low-water datum, and fluctuations due to wind are small. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1912, was $3,000, exclu- sive of amounts expended on previous projects, one-half of which was contributed by local interests. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,500.

Local interests have expended about $10,000 since August 1925 re- placing old timber superstructures on east pier with concrete, and dredging in the channel. The sum of $5,000 was contributed in 1928 by local interests toward the cost of replacing old timber superstruc- ture on west pier with concrete. Terminal facilities.-The facilities consist. of private docks for recreational craft and one tour boat dock. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1918. The wooden superstructure has been replaced with Concrete on .614.6 feet of the west pier and 705 feet of the east pier completed in 1930. The west pier is generally in good condition except for a portion at the inner end where the fill between the double row of steel sheet piling has been washed out. The east pier has breached at a point approximately 150 feet from its outer end, and the remainder of the wall is likely to fail at any time as the timber 2128 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 crib is in poor condition. The controlling depth in the channel is 9 feet at low-water datum. The total cost and expenditure to the United States of the existing project for $83,589.03, all for maintenance. In addition, $6,500 was expended from contributed funds, $1,500 for new work, and $5,000 for repair of the west pier. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed during the fiscal year 1947. The sum of $163,000 can be profitably expended for maintenance during the fiscal year 1948 for repairs to the entire length, 800 feet, of the east pier and 50 feet of the west pier by contract.

Local cooperation.-The act of October 17, 1940, authorized deep- ening in the west outer harbor to 21 feet in soft material and 22 feet in hard material, and closing the gap in the west breakwater, subject to the condition that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will construct and operate a steam generating electric power plant, together with suitable docks and appurtenances, at the westerly end of the outer harbor; that they will provide suitable facilities to prevent stagnation in the west basin after closure of the gap in the breakwater; and that they will hold and save the United States free from all damages to lands and structures as a result of the improvements. These conditions have been fully complied with and were approved on April 24, 1946. All prior con- ditions 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 recrea- tional craft. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Contract operations for deepening a 250-foot-wide channel in the westerly outer harbor to project depth were 2 percent complete at the end of the year, 24,000 cubic yards of material were removed and the cost for the year was $16,971.14. Maintenance.-Government plant and hired labor removed 21,027 'cubic yards of material for the restoration of project depth in the 2138 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 outer harbor at a cost of $9,575.24 and made repairs to the west arrowhead breakwater at a cost of $5,010.88. The total cost for the year was $31,557.26 of which $16,971.14 was for new work and $14,586.12 for maintenance. The total expendi- ture was $19,596.18. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 66 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 completed in 1931 and the east arrowhead breakwater in 1932. The old lighthouse pier, a part of the west inner breakwater and the upper and 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 line 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. A 250-foot-wide channel in the westerly outer harbor is being deepened to 22 feet below low- water datum by contract. The breakwaters are generally in fair con- dition except that the riprap protection along the lake side of the old west bieakwater for a length of approximately 1,000 feet has settled :and a 100-foot portion of the concrete section has disintegrated and broken, and the core stone in the west arrowhead breakwater has settled in many places. A depth of 21 feet at low-water datum is available in the Oswego River to the north line of Seneca Street and in the outer harbor east of the Lackawanna coal dock except in a 200-foot-wide strip along the harbor line east of the mouth of the Oswego River. The 100-foot channel in the outer harbor west of the Lackawanna coal dock has a controlling depth of 16 feet at low-water datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the deepening of the 200-foot strip along, the harbor line east of the Oswego River and deepening the remainder of the outer harbor west of the Lackawanna coal dock. The total cost of the existing project was $4,042,054.06, of which $3,468,191.99 was for new work and $573,862.07 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $4,030,817.32.

Existing project.-This provides for a timber crib breakwater 1,381 feet long in the St. Lawrence River parallel to and 500 feet from the railroad wharf, 50 feet of the breakwater being a shore return arm at the upper end; a depth of 16 feet in an area of approximately 17 acres behind and adjacent to the breakwater; a depth of 20 feet in an area downstream from the breakwater extending from the 16- foot project limit downstream for about 1,600 feet to a point about 400 feet below the St. Regis Paper Co.'s dQck; and for elimination from the project of the uncompleted portion of the breakwater. The project depths are referred to the river surface when Lake Ontario is at low-water datum, elevation 244 feet above mean tide at New York City. Ordinary fluctuations are from about 2 feet above to 1.3 feet below low-water datum. Other fluctuations due to wind and other causes are small. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $361,000 exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the following River and Harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1899 Breakwater 1,400 feet long, and shore arm not to Annual Report, 1897, pp. 3286-3288. exceed 150 feet.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2145 .Local cooperation.-Deepeningof the project area is subject to the provisions that no work shall be undertaken until local interests have given satisfactory assurances that they will do the necessary deepen- ing along the docks and bulkheads and release the United States from any claims for damages incidental to the work. Assurances have not yet been received. Terminal facilities.-The New York Central Railroad Co. owns a passenger and package-freight terminal which is also used by the ferry to Wolf Island, Ontario. There are three fish wharves; one coal and fueling wharf; and one pulpwood wharf. The facilities are con- sidered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Field sur- veys were made in connection with the preparation of plans and speci- fications for deepening the 20-foot project area and a portion of the 16-foot project area, by hired labor at a cost for the year of $3,486.22. Condition at end of fisoal year.-The project is about 56 percent completed. The work done under the existing project was the con- struction of a breakwater 1,381 feet long, completed in 1915, of which 50 feet of the shore arm return was built in 1901. The breakwater is of the timber-crib, concrete-superstructure type, and is in good condi- tion, except that the surface of the concrete is scaling. The control- ling depth was 10 feet in the 16-foot area, and 13 feet in the 20-foot area, at low-water datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the deep- ening of the 16-foot and 20-foot project areas. The total cost of the existing project was $237,507.65, of which $202,305.25 was for new work and $35,202.40 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $236,889.96. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1946 __-----_ _ _-- _ -----_ _ $617. 69 New work: Completing plans and specifications for deepening the 20-foot project area and a portion of the 16- foot area by hired labor, July to Nov.ember 1946 _ $4, 163. 78 Deepening the 20-foot project area and a portion of the 16-foot area by contract, April to June 1947____ 51, 350. 00 55, 513. 78 Total . .----- -------------- 56, 131. 47 The additional sum of $19,200 can be profitably expended for new work by continuing contract during the fiscal year 1948 for completion of deepening the 20-foot project area and a portion of the 16-foot area to project depth.

OGDENSBURG HARBOR, N. Y. Location.--This harbor is located on the south bank of the St. Lawrence River 62 miles by water from Lake Ontario. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 13.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1867, August 2, 1882, and September 19, 1890; by authority of the Chief of Engineers dated February 27, 1897; and by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1899. For further details of previous projects, see page 1975 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1635 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.--This provides for an upper entrance channel 400 feet wide, a city water front channel 350 feet wide, and for a lower entrance channel 250 feet wide, all suitably widened at entrances to, and at angles in channels, and all 19 feet deep; and for a lower basin 2,400 to 3,500 feet wide and 21 feet deep, extending from deep water in the river to within 50 feet of the existing dock lines. The project depths are referred to the river surface when Lake Ontario is at low-water datum, elevation 244 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary seasonal fluctuations of water surface are from 4 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum. Other fluctua- tions due to wind and other causes are small. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1942, is $395,000, exclu- sive 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: RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N.

Terminal facilities.-Two terminals for coal, four for petroleum products, one for pulpwood, and one for sand are private. There is a car-ferry terminal, a grain elevator, a terminal for a passenger and automobile ferry, and a publicly owned terminal. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 41,386 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the upper and lower channels, the city front channel, and lower basin at a cost of $20,206.60 for maintenance. The expendi- ture was $20,338.58. 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 18 feet in the channels, and a depth of 21 feet in the lower basin, at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $754,141.79, of which $375,085.40 including $174,548.79 Public Works funds, was for new work and $379,056.39 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $754,464.94 including $174,548.79 Public Works funds. Proposed operations.-The accounts receivable at the end of the fiscal year, $323.15, will be used for outstanding costs in connection with maintenance dredging. Redredging and sweeping are required annually. For these items of maintenance the additional sum of $28,500 can be profitably ex- pended during the fiscal year 1948 as follows: Dredging channels by United States hopper dredge, spring 1948 -.--.. $22, 500 Sweeping channels and removing obstructions by Government plant, summer 1947___________------------- 6, 000 Total --------------- -- 28, 500 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1946 __ - - $646, 465. 22 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946_ ____ -_ 509, 568. 71 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1946_- 1, 156, 033. 93 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1946 _ 323. 15 Gross total costs to June 30, 1946 _______---_-_-_ 1, 156, 357. 08 Net total expenditures_ ___ 1, 156, 357. 08 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1946 _ .--- 1, 156, 357. 08 2148 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Location.-Cayuga Creek passes through the village of Lancaster, N. Y., and joins Buffalo Creek about 8 miles downstream from the yillage. 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 pro- tection of the village of Lancaster against flood flows of 18,000 cubic feet per second, the maximum of record, by clearing and improving Cayuga Creek channel from Park Boulevard in the village of Lan- caster downstream to Penora Street in the village of Depew, a dis- tance of about 11/2 miles and constructing drainage facilities in the village of Lancaster. The channel improvement consists of straighten- ing and widening Cayuga Creek channel, constructing earth dikes, and steel sheet pile and concrete flood walls. The estimated Federal cost for constructi on revised in 1946 is $760,000, exclusive of an estimated $28,000 to be contributed by local interests towards the cost of construction of drainage facilities.

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.) E sticg projeat.-This provides for t o randomstone bieakwaters, the upcoast breakwater extending 1,800 feet south by west from Morro Rock, and the downcoast breakwater extending west from the sand- spit, 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 the waterfront at Morro, a distance of 6,930 feet, to retain marginal 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 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 be- tween 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 maintenance 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, ease- ments, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction and for sub- sequent 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 ofthese items was $50,000. Local coopera- tion has been fully complied with.

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 constructed 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 main- tenance, 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 2165 5.4 feet. The extreme range is about 10 feet. The latest (1934) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000.

Prior to adoption by Congress, the work was authorized by the Public Works Administration. Local cooperation.-No specific local cooperation is required. Local interests have contributed $209,731.98 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 inter- cepting 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 facili- ties for small craft. The wharf, which is equipped with warehouse, is used by general cargo and fishing boats. Facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work.-None.

S. ARMY, 1946 Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, proposes that the locality take the following cooperative action: (a) Cede to the UnitedStates, in lieu of that portion of the military reser- vation at Reservation Point which , will be.required for widening the main entrance channel, an equivalent area to the east, adjoining the present Federal holdings. (b) Dredge, at its own expense, a portion 200 feet in width of the proposed 30-foot channel along the easterly, northerly, and part of the westerly sides of west basin. The River and Harbor Act of October 17, 1940, requires no local cooperation except that, if local interests desire to use dredged ma- terial to reclaim land or to build up beaches in addition to that recom- mended therein, the cost in excess of the cheapest dredging and dis- posal methods should be borne by local interests. The city of Long Beach has contributed the sum of $262,120 to pay the increased cost of depositing 3,400,000 cubic yards of material, dredged from the mouth of the Los Angeles River, on the beaches between Belmont pier and Santa Ana Avenue and in piers A and D. In addition to the Federal project requirements, local public in- terests have expended approximately $54,000,000 for harbor improvements and facilities, and private local interests have dredged approximately 28,900,000 cubic yards of material for harbor improvements. 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 nre 22,706 linear feet of wharves, of which 14,021 linear feet are owned by the city, 3,700 linear feet by the Government, and 4,985 linear feet by private interests. Facilities in both harbors are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Regular funds: Dredging of the settling basin at the mouth of the Los Angeles River diversion channel by contract was completed April 19, 1946. A total of 2,697,019 cubic yards of material was removed from the project area and deposited in the east fill area and on the beach from First Place to a point easterly of Belmont pier, from July 1, 1945, to April 19, 1946. Maintenance.-Regularfunds: A total of 1,249,575 cubic yards of material was dredged from the settling basin at the mouth of the Los Angeles River diversion channel by contract from July 1, 1945, to April 19, 1946. Costs were $325 543.52 for new work and $183.237.34 for main- tenance, a total of $508,780.86 from regular funds. Expenditures were $539,713.26 from 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 entrance channel in 1932, the 12,500-foot detached breakwater and Los Angeles Harbor entrance channel in 1937, and the outer harbor turning basin in 1939. The 6,000-foot section of the detached breakwater was completed un- der Navy contract in July 1942. About 4,700 feet of the 13,350-foot detached breakwater was completed and the remainder thereof partly RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 2171 constructed in 1943. Dredging from the settling basin at the mouth of the Los Angeles River diversion channel was completed April 19, 1946. A total of 6,449,575 cubic yards of material was dredged from the project. 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.

Location.-This harbor is located on the Pacific coast, 24 miles south- east of Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbors, and 72 miles northwest of San Diego Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5108.) 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, ap- proximately 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 deepening 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 im- provements authorized in the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, was recommended by the Chief of Engineers 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 re- quired 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 Administration of $1,593,793.66, half of which was contributed by local interests, 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 be- tween 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, licWorks Administration. 75th Cong. 1 Mar. 2, 1945 Widening the main channel, deepening the New- S. Doc. No. 138, 78th Cong., 1st sess. port Channel, and dredging 2 anchorage areas. 1Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.-The improvements authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, are subject to the conditions that RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 2175 local interests contribute $255,000 to the first cost, and that responsible local agencies agree to furnish without cost to the United States suit- able areas for the disposal of dredge spoil for the initial work and subsequent maintenance when and as required, and to hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from the improvements. Conditions of local cooperation have not been complied with. Local interests state that a bond issue will be required to raise the $255,000 and they are unable to guarantee that amount at this time. In addition to the Federal project requirements, the city of New- port Beach and Orange County have expended for dredging and jetty work the sum of $2,526,435 since 1916. Private interests have spent $682,000 for dredging and other harbor work, making the total expen- diture for harbor improvements by local interests $3,208,435, exclusive of the Federal project. Terminal facilities.-There are numerous small wharves and land- ings, practically all for yachts. Facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and 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.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides that before any work is undertaken on the turning basin, local interests shall furnish necessary disposal areas and give assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of Warand 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 2178 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Chula Vista local interests shall contribute $10,000 in cash. These conditions have been complied with, except in the case of the channel to Chula Vista. The modification of the project authorized in act of October 17, 1940, is subject to the provision that the Chief of Engineers may direct the disposal of dredged materials on lands not under Federal ownership, provided that local interests reimburse the United States for the cost involved in excess of the cost of disposal by the most economical method and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from such disposal. This require- ment was accepted by resolution of the city of Coronado, and approved by the Chief of Engineers. The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, requires no local cooperation. Terminal facilities.-In San Diego Harbor there are 22,455 linear feet of wharves, exclusive of Government-owned wharves, of which 11,785 feet are municipally owned, and 10,670 linear feet by private interests. In addition, there are two wharves at Coronado and one Government-owned wharf at North Island. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Regular funds: Dredging by contract in area S, to the extent desired by the Navy, was resumed September 17, 1945, and completed February 13, 1946. A total of 3,878,000 cubic yards was dredged and deposited on the Silver Strand beach. Maintenance.-None. The costs were $449,706.15 for new work, which included surveys to determine condition of the project. The expenditures were $460,193.20 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 86 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 channel to a width of 2,200 feet and a depth of 35 feet in 1936. In area M the westerly anchorage area and the seaplane basin were dredged to depths of 26 and 8 feet, respectively, and areas N and O were dredged to a depth of 30 feet 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. Divisions 3 and 4 of area S were completed in August 1942, division 2 in March 1944, and division 1 in February 1946.

Operations and results during fiscal year-Hansen Dam.-Opera- tions during the fiscal year consisted of rights-of-way transactions and maintenance of the dam in good operating condition. The costs of new work were -$16,696.64 for rights-of-way (readjusted cost of rights-of-way transactions), and $40,783.90 for maintenance, a net total cost of $24,087.26. Performance.-Two minor storms occurred during the year, the first on December 21 to 25, 1945, and the second on March 28 to April 2, 1946. During the first storm the peak inflow was 1,120 cubic feet per second and the maximum regulated outflow was 524 cubic feet per second. The maximum amount of water in storage was 1,564 acre- feet, or 5 percent of the gross storage capacity at spillway crest. Dur- ing the second storm the peak inflow was 1,270 cubic feet per second and the maximum outflow was 300 cubic feet per second; the maximum storage was 5,121 acre-feet, or 16 percent of the gross capacity at spill- way crest. As temporary bulkheads were in the ungated outlets dur- ing the year, complete control of the outflow into the unimproved channel below the dam was maintained. There was no downstream damage to property during the year attributable to excess releases from the dam. A large part of the outflow was diverted by the Los Angeles County flood-control district to its spreading grounds from a point about 3,500 feet below the outlet works of the dam. Sepulveda Darm.-Operations during the fiscal year included rights- .of-way transactions, relocation of utilities, and maintenance of the dam in good operating condition. The costs of new work were $746.88 for utility relocation and rights- of-way, and $31,839.45 for maintenance, a total cost of $32,586.33. FLOOD CONTROL-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 2195 Performance.-Oneminor storm occurred December 21 to 23, 1945, producing a peak flow through the dam of 1,450 cubic feet per second. There was no gate operation for regulation; consequently the amount of water in storage was negligible. Los Angeles River channel--Owensmouth Avenue to Lankershim Boulevard.--This section of the river comprises three units: (a) Owensmouth Avenue to Sepulveda flood-control basin. (b) Sepulveda flood-control basin to Tujunga Wash. (c) Tujunga Wash to Lankershim Boulevard.

LYTLE AND CAJON CREEKS, SANTA ANA RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Loaation.-The site of the improvement is located on Lytle Creek and its principal tributary, Cajon Creek, in the upper Santa Ana River Basin and extends from 10 miles northwest to 2 miles south of the city of San Bernardino, San Bernardino County, Calif. Existng project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of approximately 48,000 linear feet of noncontinuous earth- filled, stone-faced levees and groins between the canyon mouths of Lytle and Cajon Creeks and Foothill Boulevard, the construction of a concrete channel generally extending along the west branch of Lytle Creek from Foothill Boulevard to Warm Creek (a distance of 14,575 721584-47-pt. 1, vol. 2- 55 2204 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 feet), the construction of an inlet section upstream from Foothill Boulevard, the use of the existing east branch of Lytle Creek to carry bypassed flows and the construction of four railroad bridges over the concrete channel. The levees and groins above Foothill Boulevard are designed for a flood discharge of 60,000 cubic feet per second, which is approximately twice the largest observed discharge in 60 years. Below Foothill Boulevard, the concrete channel, which is de- signed for a discharge of 30,000 cubic feet per second, and the east branch of Lytle Creek, which will carry a bypassed discharge of 10,000 cubic feet per second without material damage, will provide protection against a flood 30 percent greater than the largest flood observed in 60 years. The estimated cost is $7,276,000 for construction (levees and channel improvements) and $779,000 for lands and damages (railroad bridges).

SAN DIEGO RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Location.-The site of the improvement is on San Diego River at San Diego, Calif. EXistinq project.-The Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944, authorized the construction of a suitable levee as a replacement of the existing government dike across the old channel of the river, at the city of San Diego, making use of the dike to the extent found practicable at the time of construction. The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a levee extending easterly from Presidio Hill in Old Town, a distance of 6,700 feet to a low hill and for a connecting cut-off levee extending southwest 1,000 feet to high ground near Ingraham Street. The project affords added protection from flood waters of San Diego River to facilities and activities which are concentrated in the area between the government dike and San Diego Bay. (See H. Doc. No. 635, 77th Cong., 1st sess.) The estimated total cost is $350,000 for construction and $20,000 for lands and damages. The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, authorized an extension of this project. (See navigation project entitled "San Diego River and Mission Bay, Calif.") Local cooperation.-Section 3 of the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944, applies. Local interests have not been notified of the requirements of local cooperation. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The work has not been started. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no operations are proposed during the fiscal years 1947-48. 23. WHITLOW RANCH RESERVOIR, QUEEN CREEK, ARIZ. Location.-The site of the improvement is on Queen Creek, Ariz., a tributary of the Gila River, about 10 miles west of Superior, Ariz. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a concrete gravity dam with a maximum height of 130 feet above the stream bed, and a crest length of 535 feet. An un- controlled spillway 200 feet in length and outlet works would be an integral part of the dam. The reservoir would have a total capacity at spillway crest of 24,000 acre-feet, of which 17,000 acre- feet would be reserved for flood control and 7,000 acre-feet for sedi- mentation and conservation purposes. The operation of the reservoir FLOOD CONTROL--LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 2217 would regulate the run-off from a tributary area of 143 square miles, reducing the flow of the design flood from 59,000 to 1,400 cubic feet per second. The estimated cost is $1,645,000, of which $1,561,000 is for construction, and $84,000 for relocation of existing utilities, and $7,800 annually for maintenance and operation. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. In addition, local interests are required to furnish assurances satisfactory to the Sec- retary of War that they will adjust all claims concerning water rights arising from the improvements, and hold and save the United States free from all claims for damages arising from construction and operation of the works. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the project. Proposed operations.-No work is proposed for the fiscal year 1947.

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 breakwater 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 horthwesterlv from Whaler Island. so as to form a protected 2221 2222 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 1946, is $3,690,066, of which $217,116 was contributed by local interests. 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. The exiting project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Juily 18, 1918 Breakwater_ ------------------------- .. . H. Doc.

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. Local interests have furnished assurances complying with these requirements. These assurances were forwarded for approval on May 27, 1946. All prior requirements fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are two wharves in the harbor, one of which. is designated for public use, but is in need of considerable repair. There is also one boat fueling station. In their present condition these facilities are considered inadequate for existing commerce. Local interests are planning to expand terminal facilities. Operations and results during fiscal year.-As new work, 600 cubic yards of stone were placed by contract to partially complete 175 linear feet of the inner breakwater, and advance planning for the extension of the main breakwater to Round Rock was essentially completed by hired labor; the costs for these items of work were $3,514.90 and $2,302.57, respectively, or a total of $5,817.47 for new work. Maintenance work consisting of periodic condition surveys was done by hired labor at a cost of $1,281.99. The total costs were $7,099.46 and the expenditures were $7,383.12, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 40 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2223 percent physically complete. The work remaining to be done includes the 2,700-foot extension of the main breakwater to Round Rock, complete construction of the inner breakwater, and the removal of pinnacle rocks in the fish boat harbor. In May 1946, the controlling depth in the project basin was 12 feet to within 200 feet of the Hobbs- Wall wharf, thence shoaling to 8 feet along the face of the wharf.

For further details see pages 1982-1984 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 Hum- boldt Bay to the foot of N Street, Eureka; a channel 26 feet deep and 300 feet wide across Indian Island Shoal to Samoa; a channel 18 feet deep and 150 feet wide to Arcata wharf; and a channel 26 feet deep and 300 feet wide to Fields Landing, with a turning basin 600 feet wide and 800 feet long off the Fields Landing wharf. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.4 feet at the south jetty and 6.7 feet at Eureka. The extreme range is 12.5 feet at the south jetty and 12 feet at Eureka. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2225 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1939, was $2,873,888, of which $95,000 was contributed by local interests. This estimate is exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance of dredging is $58,000. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of the jetties.

These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results duringfiscal year.-The jetties were patrolled during the winter to observe the effect of winter storms and periodic condition surveys were made of the project channels. This mainte- nance work was performed by hired labor at a cost of $5,715.23. The expenditures were $5,423.15, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was completed in 1939. The north jetty was completed in 1925, the south jetty in 1927, the Arcata channel in 1931, the Fields Landing channel and turning basin and the Eureka and Samoa channels in 1939. The controlling depths over various channels at the times shown were as follows: Southwesterly entrance channel, 34 feet, June 1945; channel between jetties, 30 feet for a width of 400 feet, June 1946; natural channel in bay north of entrance thereto, 24 feet, June 1945; Samoa channel, 25 feet, June 1946; Eureka channel, 25 feet to B Street, thence 17 feet to M Street, thence 12 feet to head of project, June 1946; Fields Landing channel, 24 feet near the entrance and 21 feet in turning basin (26 feet can be carried around shoal areas and 24 feet to the Fields Landing wharf) June 1946; Arcata channel (which is no longer used), 18 feet, May 1937. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $2,778,887.78 for new work and $4,483,616.17 for maintenance, a total of $7,262,503.95. The expenditures were $7,266,596.48.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2227 3. 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 Sep- tember 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 rubble-mound 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 1946, is $1,174,000 including $7,180 of contributed funds. The latest (1940) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $27,500. The existing project was, authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July Mar. 3, 1930 2,1945 Entrance channel and channel in the river -_--- The breakwater in Noyo Harbor_---------------- S. Doc. No.156, 71st Cong., 2d sess. H. Doc. No. 682, 76th Cong., 3d sess.' 1 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 un- loading of vessels in Noyo Harbor. These requirements have not been complied with. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.--In the harbor, there are moorings and a cable- way for holding and loading vessels. In the river there are six wharves fbr unloading fish, five boat-fueling terminals, and 3 boat- building and repair plants. These facilities are adequate, but moor- ing facilities for fishing boats are inadequate and steps are being taken to enlarge them. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A definite project report was prepared to initiate advance planning for the project breakwater. This new work was performed by hired labor at a cost of $1,607.24. As maintenance work, a hearing was held and a report was written on the obstructive highway bridge across Noyo River, and surveys were made in connection with proposed dredging. This work was done by hired labor at a cost of $827.62. 2228 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 The total costs during the year were $2,434.86 and the expendi- tures were $2,314.25, all from regular funds. 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. In June 1946 the controlling depth in the river project was 6 feet at the entrance channel except for a small shoal, 4 feet deep, on the north side of the channel about 225 feet upstream from the entrance, thence 6 feet to the head of the project except for another shoal 5.5 feet deep in'the center of the channel about 600 feet downstream from the head of the project.

NAPA RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This stream rises in the St. Helena Mountains, flows in a southerly direction, and empties into Mare Island Strait. The navigable portion is a tidal estuary. The head of navigation is at the City of Napa, 17 miles above the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5533.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 11, 1888, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919. For further details see page 1756, Annual Report for 1930, and page 1683, Annual Report for 1938. Existingproject.-This provides for a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water from Mare Island Strait to the head of navigation at Napa, 100 feet wide below the mouth of Asylum Slough, 75 feet wide from Asylum Slough to the head of the project, with additional widths at certain difficult bends. The length of the section included in the project is 15.5 miles. The range between mean lower low water 2238 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 and mean higher high water is 6 feet at the mouth and 7.1 feet at the head of navigation. The extreme range is about 11 feet. The estimated cost of new work; revised in 1946, is $938,700. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $15,500. These estimates include the modification of the existing project authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, as described below. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 6, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in that document. The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, authorized the modification of the existing project to provide for a channel 15 feet deep and 100 feet wide between the mouth at Mare Island Strait and Asylum Slough and 10 feet deep and 75 feet wide thence to Third Street in Napa with a cut-off at Horseshoe Bend, a turning basin 300 feet wide at Jacks Bend, and additional widenings, realinements and related works in other difficult sections, at an estimated cost to the United States of $865,000 for construction and $7,500 annually for maintenance in addition to the amount now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation. (See H. D. No. 397, 79th Cong. 2d sess.). Local cooperation.-Fully complied with for new work on existing project, except for the modification authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946. Terminal facilities.-There are four dry docks, one new vessel out- fitting wharf, seven wharves used in connection with oil-distributing plants, and four wharves for general cargoes and other miscellaneous purposes. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-As maintenance, periodic condition surveys of the project channel were made by hired labor. The costs were $2,930.56 and the expenditures were $2,755.53, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project, except for the modification authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, was completed in 1937. In May 1946 the controlling depth was 8' feet from the mouth of the river to Jacks Bend, 6 feet from Jacks Bend to Fifth Street in the city of Napa, thence 3 feet to the upstream limit of the project. To the end of the fiscal year the costs for the existing project were $73,750 for new work and $11,087.72 for maintenance, a total of $84,837.72. The expenditures, all from regular funds, were $84,721.06. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $2,844.47 as of June 30, 1946, will be applied to accounts payable in the amount of $116.66 and to the maintenance work of making periodic condition surveys by hired labor during the fiscal year 1947. The additional sum of $37,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948, as follows: New work: Advance planning for modification of pioject -- __ _ $35, 000 Maintenance: Periodic condition surveys by hired labor_--------------_ 2, 500 Total for all work_ __________________----------------------------------------- 37, 500 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2239 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1946_ _- - $101, 305. 55 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946____________---------- 45, 683. 40 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1946_--- _ 146, 988. 95 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1946 __--- 116. 66 Net total expenditures_______ ______------ 146, 872. 29 Unexpended balance June 30, 1946_ _ __________-------- 2, 844. 47 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1946 _ -- 149, 716. 76 Fiscal year ending June 30 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 Cost of new work . ......-------------------- - Cost of maintenance___ __ $1, 751.72 $41.63 $2, 930. 56 Total expended ..-- 1, 751. 72 100. 00 2, 755. 53 Allotted .- 1, 751. 72 - 500.00 5, 200. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1945__ $400.00 Amount allotted during fiscal year _-- 5, 200. 00 Amount to be accounted for_ 5, 600. 00 Gross amount expended_ __ _ __ __ __ 2, 755. 53 Balance unexpended June 30, 1946_ 2, 844. 47 Outstanding liabilities, June 30, 1946_ 116. 66 Balance available June 30, 1946_ -_- 2, 727. 81 Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for completion of existing project 1 865, 000. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1948: - For new work 35, 000. 00 For maintenance 1--------------- 2, 500. 00 Total 1- --------- 37, 500. 00 1 Exclusive of available funds. 9. SAN PABLO BAY AND MARE ISLAND STRAIT, CALIF. Location.-The channel extends from a point in the lower end of San Pablo Bay west of Pinole Point in a general northeasterly direction across Pinole Shoal in San Pablo Bay to the junction of Carquinez Strait and Mare Island Strait, thence northwesterly in Mare Island Strait along the frontage of the Mare Island Navy Yard. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5533.) Previous projects.--Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 13, 1902, February 27, 1911, and August 8, 1917. For further details see page 1680, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for dredging a channel across Pinole Shoal in San Pablo Bay 600 feet wide and 35 feet deep; thence through Mare Island Strait a channel 700 feet wide and 30 feet-deep flaring to a turning basin generally 1,000 feet wide from former dike 6, Mare Island, to a line 75 feet southerly from the causeway between 2240 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Vallejo and Mare Island, 30 feet deep except at the northerly end where the project depth is 26 feet. The project provides also for two approach areas 20 feet deep to within 50 feet of the pierhead line adjacent to the improved water front at Vallejo and South Vallejo and for maintenance of the two approach areas to the navy yard piers at the southern end of Mare Island. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.8 feet at the lower end of San Pablo Bay, and 6 feet opposite the Mare Island Navy Yard, with an extreme range of about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946 is $342,069 exclu- sive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $197,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Feb 27, 1911 A depth of 30 feet through Pinole Shoal - - .-. H. Doc.

Terminal facilities.-There are 3 wharves along the southern shore of San Pablo Bay, 11 wharves and 2 ferry terminals along the southern shore of Carquinez Strait, and 5 wharves and 1 ferry ter- minal on the northern shore of this strait; in Mare Island Strait there are 6 commercial wharves and 3 ferry terminals, in addition to the navy yard facilities. The facilities are adequate. (See Port Series No. 10 Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiacal year.-The U. S. hopper dredges Davison and Harding worked during various periods in Mare Island Strait removing a total of 2,069,403 cubic yards of material therefrom. The project was patrolled for the removal of floating debris. The cost was $248,447.24 for maintenance. The expenditures were $346,697.98. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is about 97 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the dredging of the two approach areas adjacent to Vallejo and South Vallejo. In April 1946 the controlling depth throughout the Pinole Shoal was 32 feet. In Mare Island Strait it was 26 feet except at the upstream end of the turning basin where it was 23 feet as of July 1946. The costs of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $282,669.05 for new work and $2,055,966.02 for maintenance, a total RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2241 of $2,338,635.07.

RIVERS AND HARBORS SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2243 Local cooperation.-The act of June 20, 1938, requires that local interests furnish necessary rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for initial work and subsequent maintenance and that no portion of the channel widening north of Point Potrero authorized by that act be un- dertaken until assurances are received that industries will avail them- selves of the improved navigation facilities. These requirements have not been complied with. All other requirements have been fully com- plied with. Terminal facilities.-In the inner harbor there are two modern deep-water terminals, one oil wharf, one large privately owned wharf, two ferry terminals, three outfitting wharves, and five small wharves used for miscellaneous purposes. In the outer harbor 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. 10, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-As new work, the project channel in San Pablo Bay adjacent to the north side of Point San Pablo was completed by contract dredging. The quantity excavated was 106,613 cubic yards at a new work cost of $25,784.39. As maintenance, the U. S. hopper dredge Davison redredged shoal areas in the inner and outer harbors, removing 1,268,000 cubic yards therefrom; periodic condition surveys were made by hired labor; and floating debris was removed from the inner and outer harbors by hired labor and leased plant, at a cost of $149,436.93, $2,689.76, and $4,604.62, respectively; total maintenance costs, $156,731.31. The total costs of new work and maintenance were $182,515.70, and the expenditures were $184,879.23, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 94 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the widening of the channel north of Point Potrero. The controlling depths over various project channels in the inner harbor at the times shown were as follows: Channel from deep water in San Francisco Bay to the basin at terminal No. 1 and thence to Point Potrero, 28 feet; at the bend at Point Potrero, 271/2 feet; thence to the lower end of the Santa Fe Channel, 27 feet; in turning basin at terminal No. 1, 271/2 feet, July 1946; to the head of Santa Fe Channel, 27 feet, February 1946. In July 1946 the controlling depth was 32 feet at each of the approach areas in the outer harbor except at the northeast extremity of the area at Richmond long wharf, and at the southerly extremity of the area between Point Orient wharf and Molate Point wharf, where controlling depths were 27 feet.

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 fur- ther details see page 1979 of Annual Report for 1915, page 1755 of Annual Report for 1921, and page 1674 of Annual Report for 1938. Emisting 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 narrow- ing to 600 feet at Oakland Mole, thence the maintenance of the channel and turning basin in the outer harbor, including at the army base therein, 35 feet deep and from 600 to 950 feet wide. The project pro- vides 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 Oak- land Jetties; a channel from the ends of the jetties to the tidal canal, 30 feet deep, 600 feet wide, to the west end of Government Island, thence 500 feet wide through Brooklyn Basin; for dredging to a depth of 30 feet a triangular area about 2,700 feet long and of a maximum width of 300 feet at the western end of Brooklyn Basin; a turning basin at the east end of Brooklyn Basin, 30 feet deep, 500 feet wide, and 1,200 feet long; a channel 1.9 miles long in the tidal, canal, 30 feet deep and 275 feet wide from Brooklyn Basin to Park Street, and 25 feet deep above the Park Street Bridge, to San Leandro Bay; a total channel length of 81/2 miles 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 chan- nel from Harrison Street eastward to harbor-line point No. 58 in .Brooklyn Basin; and three highway bridges across the tidal canal, two of which (at Park Street and High Street) have been replaced by local interests. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6 feet in the outer harbor and 6.3 feet in the inner harbor at the Park Street Bridge. The extreme range is about 11 feet. The estimated cost of new work, authorized by the acts of Septem- ber 22, 1922, January 21, 1927, July 3, 1930, and March 2, 1945, is $1,503,000, which includes $83,547 contributed funds, but which is exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $90,000. 2246 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 removal 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 requirements 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. They are unable to replace the Fruitvale Avenue Bridge because of a decision rendered by the Federal court that a municipality cannot contribute funds toward the betterment of a private corporation. The Southern Pacific Rail- road Co. operates trains over this bridge. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2247 Terminal facilities.-There are 88 wharves, exclusive of those owned by the United States, and 8 ferry terminals in the harbor. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (See Port Series No. 10, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Davison redredged shoal areas in the inner and outer harbors, re- moving 461,500 cubic yards therefrom; periodic condition surveys were made by hired labor; and floating debris was removed from the inner and outer harbors by hired labor and leased plant; the Fruitvale Avenue Bridge was kept in repair and operated throughout the year; preliminary plans and specifications for the new Fruitvale Avenue Bridge were completed, at a maintenance cost of $40,482.66, $5,323.62, $7,608.06, $22,700.29 and $13,266.97, respectively. The total costs were $89,381.60 and the expenditures were $91,141.66, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 82 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the deepening, to 25 feet, of the tidal canal above the Park Street Bridge. In April 1946 the controlling depths over various project channels were as follows: Entrance channel to outer harbor and entrance channel to inner harbor, 31 feet; channel from entrance of inner harbor to Grand Street, Alameda, 29 feet; channel from Grand Street to Oak Street, Alameda, 24 feet; Tidal Canal, 17 feet; north channel in Brooklyn Basin, 18 feet. In June 1945 the controlling depth in the outer harbor was 33 feet, except for a small shoal 31 feet deep, near the head of the project.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2249 12. 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 Survey Chart No. 5531.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1979 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1672 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing projec.-This provides for a channel 500 feet wide and 30 feet deep across San Bruno Shoal in San Francisco Bay; a channel 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 mouth of Steinberger Slough, about three-fourths of a mile below Redwood City. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.9. feet at Point San Bruno and 7.9 feet at Redwood City. The extreme ranges are estimated to be 12 feet and 13 feet at the respective localities. The separate sections under improvement, across San Bruno Shoal and in Redwood Creek, are each 41/3 miles long. The head of the improve- ment 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 1946, is $1,154,665, of which $119,572 was contributed by local interests. This estimate is exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $71,630.

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. 2250 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Terminal facilities.-There are four municipally owned and two privately owned wharves on Redwood Creek, and one privately owned wharf on Westpoint Slough. There is one fueling station for ocean- going vessels, and no fueling facilities for small craft. The facilities are adequate. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A condition survey was made of the harbor. The cost was $1,665.76 and the expenditures resulted in a credit of $1,282.25. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 34 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the dredging of the channel across San Bruno Shoal and the enlargement and deepen- ing of the channel and turning basin in Redwood Cr.eek, authorized by the act of March 2, 1945. In June 1946 the controlling depth in the Redwood Creek Channel from San Francisco Bay to the upstream end of the deep water turn- ing basin was 25 feet. In 1940 the controlling depth upstream from the turning basin to Boundary Slough was 7 feet thence shoaling to mean lower low water at Bayshore Highway. In 1941 the controlling depth across San Bruno Shoal was 25 feet. The costs of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular funds_ $129, 893.03 $171, 396. 54 $301, 289. 57 Contributed funds__________________________________ 119, 572. 23 119, 572. 23 Total_ __249, 465.26 171, 396. 54 420,861.80 The total expenditures were $300,426.43 from regular funds and $119,572.33 from contributed funds for new work.

MONTEREY BAY (MOSS LANDING), CALIF. Location.-This harbor is located on Monterey Bay about midway 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 between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.3 feet with an estimated extreme range of 10.5 feet. 721584--47-pt. 1, vol. 2--58 2252 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 The estimate of cost of new work is $350,000. There is no approved 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 Secre- tary of War May 31, 1944, the Chief of Engineers recommended 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 annually 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 maintenance, when and as required, and hold the United States free from claims for damages resulting from construction work. The requirements for new work have been fulfilled. Terminal facilities.-There is one wharf and 9 fish-receiving hop- pers in Monterey Bay at Moss Landing. These facilities are not adequate. Local interests plan the construction of adequate facilities upon completion of the project harbor. Operations and results during fiscal year.-As new work, 282,740 cubic yards were removed by contract dredging to complete 3,000 linear feet of inner channel and approximately 700 feet of the north jetty was partially completed under the same contract, all at a new work cost of $53,104.01. The expenditures were $35,787.44. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is about 20 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the completion of chan- nel dredging and jetty construction being accomplished under con- tinuing contract. The cost of the project to the end of the fiscal year was $53,104.01 for new work and the expenditures were $35,787.44 from regular funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, amounting to $315,212.56, will be applied during the fiscal year ending June' 30, 1947, as follows : Accounts payable June 30, 1946_- --- $4, 211. 32 New work: Completion of channel dredging and jetty construction under contract-----------------------------------262, 255. 62 Balance remaining--------------------------------------- ____ 48, 745. 62 Total-------------------------------------------- 315, 212. 56 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2253 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1946__ $53, 104. 01 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946_------------__- __ --- Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1946_-- 53, 104. 01 Undistributed costs June 30, 1946 ______________ --- 13, 105. 25 Net total cost to June 30, 1946----------------------_ 39, 998. 76 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1946--------_ - -- 4, 211. 32 Net total expenditures_ _ _ _---- 35, 787. 44 Unexpended balance June 30, 1946 _ _ -- 315, 212. 56 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1946-----------_ 351, 000. 00 Fiscal year ending June 30 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 Cost of new work ..... $53,104.01 ,Cost of maintenance-------------- 1-- - 1--- - 1--- - I--- Total expended .................. 35, 787. 44 -I == ==---- 1--- Allotted - 351, 000.00 Amount allotted during fiscal year________ $351, 000. 00 Gross amount expended ---------------- 35, 787. 44 Balance unexpended June 30, 1946 _ ----------- 315, 212. 56 Outstanding liabilities, June 30, 1946 ___-_-_ $3, 226. 70 .Amount covered by uncompleted contracts ... 242, 802. 24 246, 028. 94 Balance available June 30, 1946_ 69, 183. 62 14. MONTEREY HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-Located about 90 miles south of San Francisco Bay, :at the south end of Monterey Bay, an indeitation in the coast of Cali- fornia. (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-away between Reeside Avenue and the Presidio boundary, and the outer section bearing about S. 700 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 pro- tected 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 maintenance is $30,500. 2254 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

No. 266, 76th Cong., 1st sess. 1 Previously authorized Public Works Administration program, Sept. 6, 1933. 2Contains latest published map. 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 maintenance of the sand trap, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvements; and provided, further, that local interests bear the excess cost of placing dredged materials in disposal areas of their selection. These requirements have not been complied with. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-Within the protected harbor the existing com- mercial facilities consist of two publicly owned wharves with a total of about 2,600 feet of berthing space, six boat-fueling stations, two net- tanning plants, two machine shops and other facilities for servicing fishing boats, exclusive of facilities owned by the United States. Out- side the protected harbor there are 1 boat-building and repair plant, 19 anchored floating fish-receiving hoppers connected by pipe lines to the sardine plants ashore, a submarine pipe line between tanker moorings and shore plants for handling petroleum products and other facilities for servicing fishing boats. The facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce, although a state of con- gestion generally exists within the protected harbor due to a lack of sufficient protected anchor mooring space. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-As maintenance, periodic condition surveys of the project were made at a cost of $892.89. The expenditures were $890.63, all from regular funds. 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 cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $652,951, including $207,800 from Public Works funds, all for new work and $892.89 for maintenance, a total of $653,843.89. The ex- penditures were $653,841.63.

REMOVING SNAGS AND CLEARING CHANNELS IN NAVIGABLE WATERS The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, authorized the allotment of not to exceed $300,000 per year from river and harbor appropriations in removing accumulated snags and other debris, and for protecting, clearing, and strengthening channels in navigable harbors and navigable streams and tributaries thereof when such work is advisable in the interest of navigation or flood control. During the fiscal year the U. S. hopper dredge Davison removed 124,015 cubic yards of material from a shoal that had developed in the 2256 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 main channel in San Francisco Bay south of Red Rock Buoy No. 2., The costs and expenditures were $10,733.29, all for maintenance. Also, the U. S. hopper dredge Harding worked on the shoal to obtain fill material for a United States Navy project at Hunters Point. The cost of this work was borne by the Navy Department. The resultant controlling depth in the channel across the shoal was 37 feet for a channel width of 1,400 feet.

Location.-San Joaquin River rises in the Sierra Nevada and flows 317 miles westerly and northerly to Suisun Bay. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and for channel-bottom widths of 400 feet below Criminal Point and 225 feet above that point, from the mouth of New York Slough to Mormon Channel at Stockton, a distance of 41 miles (suitably widened at bends and at the entrances to New York Slough and to channels through shoals, with levees set back 230 feet from the center of the channel); for a channel 26 feet deep and 100 feet wide, thence to Edison Street three-fourths mile; for a 9-foot depth, thence to the head of navigation at El Dorado Street, one-half mile; for a 9-foot depth in Fremont Channel and McLeod Lake, arms of Stockton Channel; and for a channel 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide in Mormon Channel from its mouth to Center Street, head of navi- gation, 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 ap- proximately 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 con- structing brush wing dams from the mouth of Stockton Channel to Hills Ferry, 86 miles, to facilitate light-draft navigation on this part of the' river during higher stages of water.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2265 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 during the first year and $111,000 annually thereafter. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents These acts provided for cutting off sharp bends Aug. 14, 1876 and making cut-offs in San Joaquin River below Mar. 3, 1881 the mouth of Stockton Channel; dredging Mor- July 5, 1884 mon Channel; snagging, removing obstructions, Aug. 11, 1888 and constructing wing dams in San, Joaquin July 13, 1892 River from Stockton Channel to Hills Ferry; Aug. 18, 1894 and the partial closing of side channels at Laird June 3, 1896 Slough and Paradise cut, without adopting any specific dimensions.

Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material during initial construction and future maintenance, and nec- essary rights-of-way, and shall assume the maintenance of levees. All requirements for work done to date have been fulfilled. Terminal facilities.-There are a number of privately owned river freight warehouses along the river and in the delta region. Freight is handled on the bank, except at and below Antioch, where extensive wharves and warehouses exist. The city of Stockton port terminal has 3,400 linear feet of public wharves served by 12.2 miles of public belt railroad. All except two oil terminal piers and a 508-foot wharf have transit sheds. In addition to privately operated grain and lumber terminals, a cotton compress and warehouse, a bean-cleaning plant, oil refinery, and storage tanks, a large storage tank for crude molasses, and bank of silos for cement storage, there are numerous publicly and privately owned shallow-draft wharves at Stockton. Certain facili- ties at the Stockton port terminal are in use for military purposes. A naval supply depot (Stockton annex) has been completed 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, including one for deep-sea vessels. One wharf has a spur track and two have oil pipe lines. The facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. 2266 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.' S. ARMY, 1946 Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-Cost and expenditures were $46.27, for survey expense on 9-foot channel in Mormon Channel. Maintenance.-The 30-foot channel to Stockton was completely restored to project dimensions at the confluence of the main river and Stockton Channel, and vicinity, by the excavation of 275,000 cubic yards by the pipe-line dredge Alamitos under rental contract, at a cost of $117,761.66, including surveys and inspections. In similar manner, project channel dimensions were restored in Stockton Channel, Fre- mont Channel, and McLeod Lake at Stockton, 178,000 cubic yards being excavated at a cost of $84,501.25. Along with the latter work, preparation of spoil area was completed by contract, including steel sheet piling retaining walls at the head of McLeod Lake, at a cost of $7,655.93. Miscellaneous surveys, from the mouth of the river up to Stockton, cost $4,909.95. Total costs for the fiscal year were $46.27 for new work, and $214,- 828.79, for maintenance; total expenditures were $220,984.86. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 95 percent complete, the work remaining to be done being the dredging of a 9-foot channel in Mormon Channel to Center Street, Stockton; completion of restoration of levee on north side of Venice Island cut; and setting back of levees and bringing levees to grade and section where needed. The controlling depth from mouth of the river in Suisun Bay to Mor- mon Channel, 41 miles, is 30 feet; thence to Edison Street, three-quar- ters of a mile, 22 feet; and thence to head at El Dorado Street, one-half mile, 10 feet. A 3-foot depth is available in Mormon Channel, and 10 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 northeast of Stockton. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheet, Stockton quad- rangle.) Existing project.-This provides for diverting the waters of Mor- mon slough before reaching Mormon and Stockton Channels by means of a dam in the slough 3 miles east of Stockton, and a canal 150 feet wide, with average cut of 7.9 feet, thence to the north branch of the Calaveras River, 4.63 miles; by the enlargment of the cross section of this branchto 1,550 square feet, thence to its mouth at the San Joaquin River, 5 miles; and by the construction of a levee along the west side of the canal and the south side of the north branch of the Calaveras River from the material excavated. The height of the levee is limited by necessary railway and highway crossings to about 3 feet above the contemplated flood surface. The canal is empty during the greater part of the year, but at times of extreme flood there is a depth of about 12 feet, and at ordinary flood a depth of about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1906, was $280,395. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902 (H. Doc. No. 152, 55th Cong., 3d sess., and Annual Report .for 1899, p. 3188). The latest published map is in House Document No. 256, Sixty-third Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-See report on San Joaquin River, Calif. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Inspections cost $125.43, for maintenance. There were no expenditures. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1910. Most of the silt formerly deposited ip Stockton and Mormon Channels is diverted therefrom by this canal, obviating serious in- conveniences to navigation and expensive annual dredging. The total cost was $362,655.84, of which $253,151,03 was for new work and $109,504.81 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $362,530.41. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, amounting, to $10,660.47, will be applied to payment of accounts pay- able, $125.43, and then to maintenance work, including removal of RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2269 brush, overhanging trees, and other obstructions from the channels and banks of both sections of the diverting canal, by hired labor, from July to December 1946, along with miscellaneous inspections. The additional sum of $8,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 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 1947............... $5, 000 Dredging deposits of silt from the Calaveras section of the diverting canal, by contract, December 1947_ ---------------------------------- 2, 500 Miscellaneous inspections, during entire fiscal year--------------------_ 500 Total for maintenance ------------------------------------ 8, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1946_____________________________ 253, 151. 03 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946______-_ '____________ 109, 504. 81 Total cost of permanen work to June 30;, 1946- ____ 362, 655. 84 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1946-- ______ __ 125. 43 Net total expenditures_____________________ __ 362, 530. 41 Unexpended balance June 30, 1946_______________-- _____ _ 10, 660. 47 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1946-------------- 373, 190. 88 Fiscal year ending June 30 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 .

MOKELUMNE RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This river rises near the crest of the Sierra Nevada and empties into the San Joaquin River 20 miles above the mouth of the latter. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Sacra- mento Valley, Calif.) Existing project.--This provides for the removal of snags and obstructions and occasional dredging of shoals from the mouth of the river to Galt-New Hope Bridge; a distance of 35 miles, including 2270 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 both forks.

Ordinarily flood fluctuation is 5.5 feet at the mouth and 12 feet at the upper end. Extreme flood fluctuation is 8 feet at the mouth and 17 feet at the upper end. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1881, was $8,250. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884, Senate Executive Document No. 34, Forty-seventh 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 warehouses at terminus, on Potato slough; otherwise commodities are handled on small wharves or landings or on the banks at various points. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 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 con- trolling depth; in the third section, where 2 feet is the controlling depth; and in the fourth section, where 8 feet is the controlling depth. The channel is reasonably free of obstructions to the head of naviga- tion, 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.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, amounting to $2,000, will be applied to maintenance, in removing snags, overhanging trees, and other obstructions from the mouth up to New Hope Landing, by hired labor and Government plant, in August and September 1946. The additional sum of $3,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for maintenance, as follows: Dredging sand bars and shoals by contract, from mouth to New Hope Landing, July or August 1947_ _ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ $2, 000 Removing snags, overhanging trees, and other obstructions, by hired labor and Government plant, September 1947_ _ _ __ _ 1, 000 Total for maintenance------------ _ ----------- 3, 000 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2271 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30* 1946___ $8, 500. 00 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946______6____ -- __ _ 65, 537. 01 Total cost of permaneat work to June 30, 1946 ----------- 74, 037. 01 Net total expenditures_ -------------------------------------74. 037. 01 Unexpended balance June 30, 1946________________________ 2, 000. 00 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1946---------------76, 037. 01 Fiscal year ending June 30 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 Cost of new work . . ... .. ........ ........... . ....

SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This river is formed by numerous streams draining the Trinity and Warner Mountains in northern California and empties into Suisun Bay at Collinsville. (See U. S. Geological Survey topo- graphic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1875, August 2, 1882, December 21, 1889, July 13, 1892, and August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1985, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1708, Annual Report for 1938. 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 Sac- ramento the results are to be obtained by means of wing dams, sup- plemented by dredging. Above 'Sacramento the results are to be obtained by removal of snags and concentration of the channel by temporary works, and stream-flow regulation by the Shasta Reservoir. The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, authorized the modification of the existing navigation project for Sacramento River, Calif., to provide for construction of a ship channel 30 feet deep and 200 to 300 feet wide from deep water in Suisun Bay to Washington Lake, including such works as may be necessary to compensate for or to alleviate any detrimental salinity conditions resulting from the ship channel; a basin of equal depth 1,000 feet wide and 1,200 feet long at Washington Lake; and a connecting channel 11 feet deep and 120 feet wide, with lock and drawbridge, thence to Sacramento River, 2272 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2273 Recommended modifications of project.-In House Document No. 1893, Sixty-fourth Congress, second session, it was recommended that Chico Landing, 52.4 miles downstream from Red Bluff, be made the head of the improvement. Terminal facilities.-At Sacramento there are 4,810 linear feet of wharves, of which 1,850 linear feet are owned by the city and 420 linear feet are open to general public use. There are 245,700 square feet of warehouse space, of which 103,700 square feet are owned by the city and 21,000 square feet are open to general public use. On the west bank, opposite Sacramento, are 4 wharves of a total length of 350 feet, with 108,560 square feet of warehouse space, all privately owned and used. Between Sacramento and Chico Land- ing there are 47 warehouses and numerous small landings. Freight is also handled on the bank. Between Sacramento and the mouth of the river there are, in addition to 1,440 linear feet of wharf with ware- house facilities at Rio Vista, 19 large wharves, about 38 large ware- houses, and many small warehouses and landings all owned and oper- ated by private interests. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.--New work.-Hired labor and rented plant were used to remove snags and other obstructions between Chico Landing and a point 16 miles downstream, at a cost of $38,902.98. Total expenditures were $14,894.34. Maintenance.-Above Sacramento: Snagging and clearing of brush were done by hired labor, from Colusa to points 6 miles upstream and 64 miles downstream, at a cost of $22,040.33. Repairs to wing dams were made between the mouth of Feather River and a point 5 miles downstream, at a cost of $1,117.57. A pipe-line dredge under hourly basis contract was used to remove 242,400 cubic yards from the channel at a bar 6 miles above Sacramento, at a cost of $59,291.64. Maintenance.-At and below Sacramento: A pipe-line dredge under hourly basis contract removed 625,000 cubic yards from the river be- tween Y Street, Sacramento, and the mouth of American River, at a cost of $109,345.51, Special work on spoil areas, including rebuilding roads covered by dredge spoil, and grading, cost $22,783.26. Miscel- laneous surveys of the river cost $5,143.26. Total cost for both sec- tions was $219,721.57 and total expenditures were $219;331.45 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The 10-foot channel below Sac- ramento was completed in 1931. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the provision of a 6-foot depth between Sacra- mento and Colusa and 5-foot depth thence to Chico Landing, pro- vided a continuous river flow of 5,000 second-feet is made available by operation of the Shasta Dam and Reservoir; and the modification authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946. 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 Landing, 178 miles above the mouth, and no maintenance Work has been done above this-point since 1921. 2274 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Geological Survey sheet ;"Topographic Map of the Sacra- mento Valley, Calif.") Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916, without previously published report. For further details see page 1985, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1711, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for improvement of the river from its mouth to Marysville by providing for a channel of such depths as may be practicable at an average annual cost not in excess of $10,000, and that no local cooperation be required in addition to the 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 maintenance is $1,500. Ordinary flood fluctuation is 20 feet and extreme flood fluctuation is about 25 feet. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 1, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal-fcilities.-There are several small landings, all privately owned. All other traffic is handled on the bank. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand 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 construction 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 ob- structions and any possible navigation thereby facilitated. The total cost and expenditure under the existing project was $4,742.91 for maintenance. In addition, $3,840.10 was expended from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-There are no funds available and no opera- tions are proposed for the fiscal year 1947. The sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended in the removal of obstructions from the mouth of the river up to Nicolaus Bridge, 91/2 miles, by hired labor and Government or rented plant, in September or October 1947.

MIDDLE RIVER AND CONNECTING CHANNELS, CALIFORNIA 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 chan- nels, is a bychannel of the San Joaquin, leaving Old River, another by channel above the city of Stockton and rejoining the.main river about 15 miles below Stockton. Whiskey Slough enters the San Joaquin 6 miles upstream from Middle River and is connected by Empire Cut, an artificial waterway, with Latham Slough and Middle River. Turner Cut is an artificial cut-off at the mouth of Whiskey Slough. (See U. S. Geological Survey, California quadrangles Bouldin, Woodward Island, Holt, Union Island, Stockton, and Lathrop.) 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 2278 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 expenditures were $7,645.52, of which $6,754.22 was for new work and $891.30 for maintenance.

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

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2279 Terminal facilities.-Along the channel between the western end of the bay and mouth of New York Slough, there are three wharves and two car-ferry slips. A naval project is under construction at Port Chicago, on the southern shore (mile 6). Operations and results during fiscal year.-Total cost and expendi- tures were $1,940.24 for surveys and soundings, for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1934. The controlling depth in the main channel is 30 feet, and in the channel south of Seal Islands is 16 feet. Total cost for the existing project, except work done under the Public Works program as part of the San Joaquin River 30-foot project, was $507,901.88, of which $142,026.28 was for new work and $365,875.60 for maintenance; total expenditures for new work and for maintenance were the same amounts, respectively. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, amounting to $46,300.08, will be applied to maintenance dredging in the 30-foot project channel near Bulls Head Point, Point Edith, Port Chicago, and through Middle Ground and Roe Island Shoals, by Government hopper dredge, if available, or by Government pipe-line dredge, in September and October 1946, and to miscellaneous surveys and inspections, January to June 1947. The additional sum of $45,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for maintenance dredging by Government hopper dredge or pipe-line dredge, in the 30-foot channel near Bulls Head Point, Point Edith, Port Chicago, and through shoals at Roe Island, Middle Ground, and near the mouth of San Joaquin River (New York Slough), in October and November 1947.

U. S. ARMY, 1946 8. SUISUN CHANNEL, CALIF. Location.-Suisun Channel is the project channel in Suisun Slough, a tidal inlet with its mouth on the northwest side of Suisun Bay, about 7 miles northeast of Benicia and 36 miles northeast of San Francisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic'Survey Chart No. 5534.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water from Suisun Bay to and in the basin at the town of Suisun, straightened by four cut-offs in the upper portion; channel widths to be 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, 5/2, 71/2, and 12 miles below Suisun; the removal of ledge rock from the channel at a location about 31/2 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 maintenance is $4,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25,1910 To secure a channel up to Suisun, 6 feet deep at H. Doc.

Local cooperation.---Local interests are required to furnish free of cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil- disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance, undertake any necessary reconstruction of the power-line crossing over the pro- posed cut-off near Suisun, and provide at Suisun adequate public ter- minal facilities subject to the approval of the Chief of Engineers. These requirements have been fulfilled except for the public terminals, which will be completed after the harbor dredging is done. Terminal facilitaies.-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 facili- ties will be increased in compliance with the provisions of local coop- RIVERS AND HARBORS--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2281 eration as land has been purchased, financing arranged, and plans have been prepared for construction when dredging plant can be obtained economically. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Under contract for the completion of all project work, the pipe-line dredge Alamitos and clam-shell dredges were used to excavate 144,156 cubic yards from the bar at the mouth of Suisun Channel, and from the turning basin at the town of Suisun, and at the proposed cut-offs and widening of bends along the channel, starting work on May 22, 1946. Work is 16 percent complete. Total costs for the fiscal year were $4,008.22 for new work; total expenditures were $838.17. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 25 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is to complete a 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 channel, 2 miles below Suisun; and the extension of the existing harbor basin at Suisun with a width of 275 feet and length of 600 feet, all in accordance with the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937. The controlling depth is 8 feet in the channel and harbor basin. The total cost under the exist- ing project was $33,427.66 for new work and $31,922.64 for mainte- nance, a total of $65,350.30. Total expenditures were $62,180.25. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, amounting to $198,177.16, will be applied to payment of accounts pay- able, $3,170.05, and to completion of the modified project 8-foot chan- nel from the mouth of Suisun Channel to and in the harbor basin at the town of Suisun, by contract, July to December 1946, including four cut-offs, widening of four bends, and extension of harbor basin. The additional sum of $6,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for maintenance, as follows: Dredging channels in Suisun Channel and in harbor basin at Suisun, by contract, August or September 1947, $6,000.

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 downstream from the Mossdale State Highway Bridge, or 131/2 miles above the mouth of Stockton Channel, and flows westerly and northerly 32 miles to its lower confluence with the main river, 23 miles above its mouth in Suisun Bay. Existing project.-This provides for the easing of three sharp bends in Old River between its mouth and Orwood (Santa Fe) Bridge; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Santa Fe wharves and Phillips cannery at Orwood station; entrances 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Fabian-Bell Canal at its westerly end and just west of the Grant Line Highway Bridge; enlargement of Grant Line Canal west of Doughty Cut to a depth of 10 feet and width of 100 feet; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide with 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 westerly end of Grant Line Canal to'the Lammers Ferry Road. All the from depths are referred to mean lower low water. The tidal range be- tween 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 with- out cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance as necessary, and to agree to provide public landings satisfactory to the Chief of Engineers on each side of the proposed channel in Old River near Lammers Ferry Road and on the Fabian-Bell Canal west RIVERS AND HARBORS--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2283 of Grant Line Bridge. Spoil-disposal areas have been provided for those channels so far completed. Completion of the project is being held in abeyance pending fulfillment of all requirements for local cooperation. Terminal facilities.-The Santa Fe Railroad has a warehouse and wharf at Orwood for transfer of farm produce from boat to rail. The Phillips' cannery at Orwood has similar facilities. The Holly Sugar Co. refinery and terminal near Tracy has a large wharf and an unload- ing basin with three mechanical unloading and conveying units con- necting 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 178,880 cubic yards from the channel in places, from Grant Line Canal to the Holly Sugar Factory near Tracy, at a cost of $19,764.96, includ- ing surveys and removal of obstructions, all for maintenance. Total expenditures were $19,498.46. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 32 percent complete, the work remaining to be done being completion of the project channels up to and at Orwood; in Fabian-Bell Canal, in Grant Line Canal, from Grant Line Canal to the head of Old River in San Joaquin River, and in the original channel of Old River from Grant Line Canal up to the Lammers Ferry Road, when the remaining re- 4uirements for local cooperation, including rights-bf-way, spoil areas, and public lands, have been fulfilled. The controlling depths at the end of the fiscal year were as follows: From the mouth of the river to Orwood, 11 miles, 10 feet; thence to the lower end of Grant Line Canal, 10 miles, 10 feet; thence (a) to Holly Sugar Factory near Tracy, 10 feet, or (b) to head of Old River in San Joaquin River, 4.5 feet. The total cost was $126,930.81, of which $23,184.86 was for new work and $103,745.95 for maintenance. .Total expenditures were $126,664.31. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, of new work funds, amounting to $25,000, will be applied to resuming the dredging of project channels in the upper reaches of the Old River system, by clamshell dredging plant under contract for its hire and operation, April to June 1947. The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, of maintenance funds, amounting to $12,035.69, will be applied to payment of accounts payable, $266.50, and to maintenance work in dredging channels of the Old River system, including cuts, canals, and sloughs, to restore project dimensions, by clamshell dredging plant under contract for its hire and operation, along with a small amount of snagging by hired labor, July to December 1946. The additional sum of $20,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948, for maintenance dredging in channels of the Old River system, including cuts, canals, and sloughs, to restore project dimensions; all work to be done by clamshell dredging plant under contract for its hire and operation. 721584---47-pt. 1, vol. 2-60 2284 , REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

BIG DRY CREEK RESERVOIR AND DIVERSION, CALIFORNIA Location.-The streams comprising the Fresno County group ars Big Dry Creek, Dog Creek, Redbank Creek, and Fancher Creek. All of them rise in the Sierra Nevada, near the foothills, from 17 to 31 miles northeasterly from Fresno, Calif., and follow nearly parallel courses in a southwesterly direction toward Clovis and Fresno. Por- tions of the channels of these creeks, after entering the valley floor, serve as part of large and complicated systems of irrigation canals. The creeks eventually empty directly into the San Joaquin River, or indirectly through Murphy Slough, at various points northwesterly and southwesterly of Fresno, Calif. (See U. S. Geological Survey quadrangles of the area.) Existing project.-This provides for construction of a detention reservoir, with a storage capacity of 20,200 acre-feet, on Big Dry Creek about 10 miles northeast of Fresno; for diverting the flood waters of Dog Creek to a point on Big Dry Creek above the reservoir; and for constructing a diversion canal from the reservoir northwesterly to Little Dry Creek, a tributary of the San Joaquin River. The im- provements will control floods on Big Dry and Dog Creeks considerably greater than any of recent occurrence and will provide complete pro- tection to the cities of Fresno and Clovis and their suburban areas. The estimated Federal cost (revised in 1946) is $1,281,000 for con- struction, and the estimated local cost is $202,000 for land and damages. FLOOD CONTROL---SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2287 The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941. (See H. Doc. No. 845, 76th Cong., 3d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way neces- sary for the construction of the project, hold and save the United States free from claims for damages due to construction and main- tenance 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, 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 $34,240.55 for new work and the expenditures were $33,841.98 fQr completion of contract plans and specifications. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionwork on this project has not been started, but is expected to be initiated in the fiscal year 1947. Total cost is $68,766.76 for advanced planning, and total ex- penditures are $68,118.06 for new work. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, amounting to $441,881.94, will be applied to payment of accounts payable, $648.70, and to new work during the fiscal year 1947, as follows: Initiation of construction, by contract, of the project features, being the detention reservoir, with impounding dykes on Big Dry Creek, diversion canal to carry the Dog Creek flood waters to Big Dry Creek, and diversion canal from the detention reservoir to Little Dry Creek, including clearing, earthwork, and some concrete work.

CALAVERAS RIVER AND LITTLEJOHN CREEK AND TRIBUTARIES, INCLUDING HOGAN AND FARMINGTON RESERVOIRS; CALIF. Location.-The streams comprising the Littlejohn Creek and Cala- veras River groups rise in the Sierra Nevada and its foothills, flow westerly across the flat lands of San Joaquin Valley and 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 below the base of the foot- hills. 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 includes that river and its tribu- taries 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 essentially 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 (revised in 1946) of $3,817,000 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 $2,875,000 and $7,600 annually for maintenance and operation. (c) Construction of a diversion channel from Duck Creek to Little- john Creek, two dikes across downstream channels leading from Duck Creek to Mormon slough; enlargement of 14.4 miles of existing chan- nel, excavation of 1.3 miles of new channel and construction of 30.1 miles of levee oA Bear Creek, at an estimated first cost to the United States (revised in 1946) of $496,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of De- cember 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) preceding, the State of California or other responsible agency must make ar- rangements for payment to the United States for the conservation storage provided in the enlarged reserioirs when used. The State of California officially has adopted the project. The State of California FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2289 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 all lands, easements and rights-of- way necessary for construction 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 year.-The cost during the year was $43,864.68 for new work, in continuing the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications for the enlarge- ment of Hogan Dam and Reservoir.

MERCED COUNTY STREAM GROUP, CALIFORNIA Location.-The streams comprising the- Merced County stream group rise in the Sierra Nevada foothills of the Central Valley of California and flow in a general westerly direction to join the San Joaquin River west of the city of Merced. The streams form three general groups: Bear Creek with its tributaries, Black Rascal, Canal, Fahrens, and Burns Creeks; Mariposa Creek with its tributaries, Miles and Owens Creeks; and Deadmans Creek with its tributaries, Little Deadmans, Big Deadmans, and Dutchmans Creek. The latter group crosses an undeveloped area of low grade pasture land. The remainder of the Merced County stream group drains an upper area of 398 square miles, ranging from mountains to low foothills, and a lower area of 312 square miles of broad alluvial valley. The flow of the streams under consideration is intermittent throughout the year. Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a project for flood control consisting of (a) A diversion canal of 3,000 second feet capacity between Black Rascal and Bear Creeks, (b) a detention reservoir of 6,000 acre-feet capacity on Burns Creek, (c) a detention reservoir of 6,000 acre-feet capacity on Bear Creek, (d) a detention reservoir of 5,000 acre-feet capacity on Owens Creek, (e) a detention reservoir of 15,000 acre-feet capacity on Mariposa Creek, (f) channel enlargement on Miles Creek, and (g) a diversion canal between Owens and Mariposa Creeks; all at an estimated first cost (revised in 1946) of $4,044,000 and $4,000 annually for maintenance and operation of the reservoirs, dams, and appurtenant gages. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. No. 473, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Constructionof the project is subject to the condition that the State of California or other responsible local agencies give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will (a) provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements and rights-of-way necessary for the construction; (b) bear FLOOD CONTROI-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2291 the expense of all necessary highway and utility changes; (c) com- plete the enlargement of the channel of Miles Creek and restore the channel capacities of Black Rascal, Burns, Bear, Owens, and Mariposa Creeks in accordance with the plan of the district engineer; (d) hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from con- struction of the works; and (e) except for the reservoirs, dams, and appurtenant gages, maintain and operate the completed project works and existing channels in accordance with regulations pre- scribed 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 required assurances. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The cost during the year was $51,685.16, for new work, in continuing the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications for construction. Total expenditures were $45,410.12. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionwork on this project has not been started. The total cost to date is $53,305.70 for new work, and the expenditures were $47,030.66. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1946, amounting to $47,969.34, will be applied to new work for accounts payable and in preparation of detailed plans and of contract plans and specifications. The additional sum of $50,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal' year 1948 for new work in completion of plans and specifications.

ISABELLA RESERVOIR, KERN RIVER, CALIF. 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 southwest 72 miles past the city of Bakers- field to a point in the valley trough just north of Buena Vista Lake. River flows at this point are either diverted into the Buena Vtsta Lake Basin for temporary storage or are carried northwest along the trough of the valley toward Tulare Lake Basin by improved flood and irriga- tion channels. Under normal conditions of run-off the flow of Kern River below Bakersfield is gradually dissipated by irrigation diver- sions 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 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. Existin project.-This provides for construction of Isabella Reser- voir on Kern- River, Calif., for flood control and other purposes, at an estimated first cost (revised in 1946) of $12,384,000 and $30,000 annually 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 Reclama- tion, 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The cost of work during the year was $176,330.80, and the expenditures were $167,398.57 for new work for continuing the preparation of detailed plans and con- FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., -DISTRICT 2293 tract plans and specifications fdr construction of Isabella Dam and Reservoir. Exploration of foundation was substantially completed. Aerial survey and ground surveys at the dam site were completed; utility relocation surveys were made; laboratory tests of foundation inaterials, and geology and hydrology studies were prosecuted. .Condition at end of fiscal year.-Contract plans are in preparation. Construction work on this project has not been started. The total cost to date is $181,936.10 for new work. The expenditures were $172,799.05. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1946, amounting to $80,200.95, will be applied to new work for accounts payable and in completion of detailed plans and of contract plans and specifications. The additional sum of $2,950,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for new work in initiation of construction.

S. ARMY, 1946 16. KINGS RIVER AND TULARE LAKE, INCLUDING PINE FLAT RESERVOIR, CALIF. Location.-The area covered by this project comprises the upper 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 divides, 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 unreclaimed 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 escaped 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 (revised in 1946) of $34,870,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of De- cember 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 Recla- mation, 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 of- ficially adopted the project.. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The cost of work during the year was $181,867.74, and the expenditures were $149,566.93 for new work for continuing the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications. Exploration of the dam foundation was substantially completed; dam site survey was completed; investiga- tions and laboratory tests of construction materials were completed; utility relocation surveys were made; geology and hydrology studies were prosecuted; preliminary design was about 25 percent complete. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Detailed plans and contract plans and specifications are in preparation. Construction work on this project has not been started. The total cost to date is $186,728.31 for new work, and the expenditures are $153,674.74. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1946, amounting to $231,325.20, will be applied to new work for accounts payable and in completion of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications.

FOLSOM RESERVOIR, SACRAMENTO RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Location.-The proposed Folsom damsite is located on the Ameri- can River about 21/2 miles above or northeasterly of the town of Fol- som in Sacramento County, Calif., and about 1 mile below the con- fluence 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 drain- age 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 stor- age of 355,000 acre-feet, at an estimated cost (revised in 1946) of $25,- 339,000, with facilities for future power generation. The ultimate 2296 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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.

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 southwest 35 miles to Tulare Lake Basin. The southerly channel, which continues as Kaweah River, flows south- west 4 miles and then divides into numerous distributary channels. Flows in these channels 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 junction of its North and Middle Forks near Springville, flows southwest 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 Terminus and Success Reservoir projects, including supplemental spreading works, at an estimated first cost (revised in 1946) of $16,064,000 and $13,000 annually for maintenance and operation of the reservoirs. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of Decem- ber 22, 1944. (See H. R. Flood Control Comm. Doc. No. 1, 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 Reclama- tion, 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.- Terminus Reservoir on Kaweah River: The cost of work during the year was $42,678.10 and the expenditures were $32,972.15 for new work, for beginning the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications.

LOWER SAN JOAQUIN RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, INCLUDING TUOLUMNE AND STANISLAUS RIVERS, CALIF. Location.-The area covered by this project comprises the San Joa- quin River and its watershed north of Kings River and othbr streams tributary to Tulare-Lake Basin, which together constitute the south FLOOD CONTROI -SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2299 half of the San Joaquin Valley, and which, except during 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 reported 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 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 tributaries 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. Stockton, at the head of the delta, and Fresno, just south of the San Joaquin watershed, are the principal commercial and distributing cen- ters serving the area under consideration. The lower San Joaquin River is under improvement for navigation, the existing project pro- viding for a 30-foot ship channel to Stockton and various minor im- provements for the benefits of light-draft navigation in the delta channels. Existing project.-This provides for (a) construction of New Mel- ones Reservoir on Stanislaus River, Calif., for flood control and other purposes, at an estimated first cost (revised in 1946) of $10,760,000 and $30,000 annually for maintenance and operation; (b) an expenditure toward the first cost of the proposed New Don Pedro reservoir or other suitable reservoirs in the Tuolumne Basin, in amount justified by pro- portionate benefits to flood control, estimated at $6,200,000 for the equivalent of 320,000 acre-feet of storage at the Jacksonville Reservoir site; and (c) construction of channel improvement works and levee construction and reconstruction on San Joaquin River and tributary channels, at an estimated first cost to the United States (revised in 1946) of $3,881,000. 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 De- partment, 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. (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 Joaquin River: Local interests are to (1) furnish flowage rights to overflow certain lands 721584--47-pt. 1, vol. 2-61 2300 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 subsequent main- tenance and operation; and (3) maintain all levees and channel im- provements after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of Cali- fornia, 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year. New Melones Reservoir, Stanislaus River: The cost of work during the year was $12,818.11 and the expenditures were $8,622.99 for new work, for beginning the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications for construction of New Melones Dam and Reservoir. Aerial survey was completed, and ground surveys of dam site and reservoir area were in progress. New Don Pedro Reservoir, Tuolumne River: Tentative plans and specifications have been prepared by local interests for the New Don Pedro Reservoir or other suitable reservoirs in the Tuolumne River Basin (for interim flood-control operation until New Don Pedro Res- ervoir is constructed) which are to be constructed by local interests, with Federal cooperation in the preparation of plans, and Federal con- tribution toward construction, tentatively estimated at $6,200,000. Condition at end of fscal year.-Plans are in preparation. :.Con- struction work on this project has not been started. Total cost to date is $12,818.11, and expenditures are $8,622.99, for new work. Proposed operations.-(a) The balance unexpended on June 30, 1946, for Stanislaus River, amounting to $171,377.01, will be applied to new work in completing preparation of detailed plans for new Melones Reservoir, Stanislaus River, Calif. (b) The balance unexpended on June 30, 1946 of $5,000 for Tuo- lumne Basin will be applied to cooperative work with the local in- terests which will build the required dam and reservoir, as new work. No additional funds for (a) or (b)will be required for the fiscal year 1948. (c) The additional sum of $100,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948, in preparation of detailed plans and of contract plans and specifications for channel improvements and levee construction, for San Joaquin River and tributaries.

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 Act of August 18, 1941. (See report of California Debris Commission, p. 2650.) The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of De- cember 22, 1944 (H. Doc. No. 649, 78th Cong. 2d sess.) which author- ized to be appropriated for the initiation of the project the sum of $15,000,000. The estimated Federal cost of the project (revised in 1946) is $72,973,000. 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 Reclama- tion, 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. 2302 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Chapter 1514 of the Statutes of 1945, State of California, approved July 19, 1945, provides for the furnishing of the required measures of local cooperation as to levee and channel-improvement work.

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 out- let. 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 Highway No. 89, near Salina, about 3 miles above Redmond, downstream to the head of Sevier Bridge Reservoir, a total distance of 25 miles. The drain- age 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. Sediments 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. Eisting 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 230 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 $608,000 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 Secretary of War that they will (a) provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction of the works; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; (c) construct the three new highway bridges and the irrigation flume required, extend and improve the two irrigation canals, extend the outlets of the existing tile drainage sys- tem to the improved river channel, and construct the open drainage ditch at Redmond; and (d) maintain and operate all the works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. Responsible ,local interests have indicated that they will meet these requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The cost of work during the year was $533.91 and the expenditures were $528.41, for new work, for beginning the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications for construction of the project works. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Plans are in preparation. Con- struction work on this project has not been started. Total cost to date was $533.91 and expenditures were $528.41, for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1946, amounting to $24,471.59, will be applied to payment of accounts pay- able, and new work in completion of contract plans and specifications. The additional sum of $583,000 can be profitably expended for new work during the fiscal year 1948 for construction of the project works.

SPANISH FORK RIVER, UTAH Location.-Spanish Fork River rises in the Wasatch Mountains in the southeastern part of Utah County, Utah, and flows northwesterly to Utah Lake, a component of the Jordan River system draining into Great Salt Lake near Salt Lake City. The flood-control improvements are located in the lower 13 miles of the river near Spanish Fork, Utah. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the control of floods by improving the river channel and constructing levees for a distance of about 6.7 miles from the mouth of the river at Utah Lake upstream to the county highway bridge west of the town of Spanish Fork, and improving about 2 miles of the channel at critical points through a reach of about 6.3 miles upstream from the county highway bridge. Modification of two diversion dams, revision of bridge and road facilities, and provision of necessary protective works at bridge abutments ind piers within the limits of the improvements would be required. The project will provide substantial flood prdtection for 2,250 acres of improved-land in the basin. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. No. 518, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest map.) The estimated cost is $98,600, of which $74,500 are Federal costs and $24,100 the cost to local interests. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. In addition, local interests are required to bear the expense of all necessary alterations of roads, bridges, utilities, and irrigation works. The necessary assur- ances have not been received. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done. Proposed operations.-None proposed for fiscal years 1947 or 1948. 23. SALT LAKE CITY, JORDAN RIVER, UTAH Location.-The Jordan River has its source in Utah Lake, north central Utah, flows northward through a mountain gap for 9 miles, then continues north for 51 miles to enter Great Salt Lake about 15 miles north of Salt Lake City. The flood-control improvements are located in and adjacent to Salt Lake City. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of flood-control works on Jordan River at Salt Lake City, Utah, consisting of a dike and control structures in the river and in the heading of the Surplus Canal at their junction, and by dredging and improving the channel of the river from the southern boundary of the city downstream for a distance of approximately 8.9 miles; enlarging and extending Surplus Canal, with a levee on the east 2306 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 bank, from its heading on Jordan River for a distance of about 7.2' miles; and by modifying existing railroad, highway, and utility facili- ties. The proposed improvement would provide complete protection to the area adjacent to Jordan River through Salt Lake City from anticipated floods on that stream. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. No. 562, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest map.) The esti- mated cost is $586,300, of which $412,000 are Federal costs, and $174,300 are costs to local interests. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. In addition, local interests are required to bear the expense of all necessary. alterations and construction of highway facilities, irrigation works, and other utilities except railroad bridges and control structures at the junction of Jordan River and the Surplus Canal. The necessary assurances have not been received. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done. Proposed operations.-None proposed for fiscal years 1947 or 1948. 24. MAGNA, LITTLE VALLEY WASH, UTAH Location.-Little Valley Wash rises on the northeast slope of the Oquirrh Mountains in the western part of Salt Lake County and dis- charges onto the flat land in the northwestern section of the valley. Water from the stream eventually finds its way directly'into Great Salt Lake or is lost through evaporation and transpiration in the flat lands between Magna and the lake. Magna is located on the debris cone where Little Valley Wash debouches from the mountains. Existing project.-The plan of improvement consists of a channel about 1.1 miles long extending from the mouth of the canyon north- ward to an existing debris basin formed by a circular levee. The upper 5,000 feet of the channel would be concrete-lined and a levee would be constructed on the east side of the channel adjacent to the town. Necessary modifications to bridges, utilities, and irrigation. facilities would be made. The existing project was authorized by the: Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. No. 562, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest map). The estimated Federal cost is $222,000, and the cost to local interests $10,000. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. In addition, local interests are required to assume the responsibility for construction of culverts at highway and irrigation canal crossings. Operationsand results during fiscal year.--None. Condition at end of fiscal year.--No work has been done. Proposed operations.--None proposed for fiscal years 1947 or 1948. 25. 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, August 18, 1941, and July 24, 1946, authorized the allotment of not to exceed $1,000,000 from the flood control appropriations for any one fiscal year for the FLOOD CONTROL---SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2307 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 $50,000 shall boe alloted for this purpose for any single tributary from the appropriations for any one fiscal year. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1946, snags, brush, and other debris were removed from the inlet channel to Buena Vista Lake near Buttonwillow, Kern County, Calif., and from the flood channel of Kern River in: theyicinity, of Buena Vista Lake and below the Taft- Bakersfield highway, by hired labor with rented plant, and similar work was done in the vicinity of Humboldt Lake near Lovelock, Nev.

S. ARMY, 1946 or maintenance of any flood-control work threatened or destroyed by flood. In addition to funds previously allotted, the amount of $10,000 was allotted during the year ending June 30, 1946, for emergency repair work in the Sacramnento District. During the year, approximately 4 miles of flood channel along each bank on Mokelumne River from Galt-New Hope Bridge downstream were cleared of trees and brush as levee protection, by hired labor. Total cost during the year for the preceding work was $3,357.10, and total expenditures were $2,154.56, for maintenance. Total costs and expenditures to June 30, 1946, were $766,133.33 and $764,930.79, respectively. The balance unexpended on June 30, 1946, $7,845.44, will be applied during the fiscal year 1947 to accounts payable and completion of the above work on Mokelumne River, which is about one-third completed.

EMERGENCY FLOOD-CONTROL WORK UNDER AUTHORITY OF PUBLIC LAWS NOS. 138 AND 318, SEVENTY-EIGHTH CONGRESSt AND PUBLIC LAW NO. 75, SEVENTY-NINTH 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 springs of 1943, 1944, and 1945, Congress, in the act approved July 12, 1943, Public, No. 138, Seventy-eighth Con- gress, in the act approved May 29, 1944, Public, No. 318, Seventy- eighth Congress, and in the act approved June 5, 1945, Public, No. 75, Seventy-ninth Congress, authorized the amounts of $10,000,000, $12,000,000, and $12,000,000, respectively, to be appropriated as emer- gency funds to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of FLOOD CONTROIr-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2309 War and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers for the repair, restoration, and strengthening of levees and other flood-control works which had been threatened or destroyed by the recent floods, or which may be threatened or destroyed by later floods. During the year ending June 30, 1946, funds in the amount of $150,000 were allotted for emergency repairs and rehabilitation of flood-damaged structures in the Sacramento district, and funds in the amount of $48,000 were revoked, representing savings on work pre- viously completed. Operations during the fiscal year included repairs to flood-damaged levees on San Joaquin River at six locations between miles 60 and 70, near Manteca and Mossdale; along Feather River, near the mouth of Bear River; and at Humboldt Lake, Nevada. Total costs during the fiscal year 1946 were $144,420.01, and total expenditures were $143,638.33, for maintenance. Total costs and ex- penditures to June 30, 1946, were $1,643,889.20 and $1,632,933.70 re- spectively, for maintenance. The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, $131,290.07, will be applied during the fiscal year 1947 to accounts payable and completion of work on San Joaquin River; Calif.

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 western part of Wyoming, flows in a general westerly direction for about 1,000 miles and empties into Columbia River near Pasco, Wash., 324 miles from the Pacific Ocean. (See U. S. Geological Survey maps of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.) Previous projects.-No formal project for the improvement of Snake River was adopted by Congress prior to the act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1991 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1849 of Annual Report for 1938. RIVERS AND HARBORS PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT , 2315 Existing project.-This provides for the construction of such dams as are necessary and open channel improvement for purposes of provid- ing slack water navigation and irrigation between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston, Idaho. It also provides for removal of boulders and rock points, and construction of contraction works between Lewis- ton and Johnsons Bar. No channel dimensions are specified above Lewiston. (See H. Doc. No. 704, 75th Cong., 3d sess.) The present preliminary estimate of cost for new work to include the improvement work as authorized under the River and Harbor Acts of June 25, 1910, August 30, 1935, and March 2, 1945, is $311,011,- 000, predicated upon a system of high head dams with power genera- tion facilities. 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.

No. 704, 75th Cong., 3d sess. open channel improvement for purposes of pro- viding slack water navigation and irrigation. 1 Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.-No conditions were imposed by law. The Washington State Legislature in 1907 provided $85,000, which was expended by the Federal Government between Riparia, Wash., and the mouth, for general open-river work in accordance with the adopted project. Terminal facilities.-The only wharf located on the Snake River is a privately owned 40- by 60-foot wharf located just above Lewiston (mile 140.5 above the mouth). Grain elevators and warehouses 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 the 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 ware- houses located on the river bank. There is also a warehouse of 10,000 ~pt. 721584-7-- 1, 'vol. 2---62 2316 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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. In the 11-mile stretch above Asotin there are two wheat warehouses 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. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Advance planning for the construction of the project was continued during the year. Surveys, field investigations, and explorations were made to obtain data for use in the completion of a site selection report. A site selection report recommending construction of four dams was com- pleted. Studies were initiated for revision of the site selection report to include recommendations for definite sites for a series of four, five, or six dams. Total costs for the fiscal year were $263,035.07 all for new work. Expenditures were $269,399.07. Condition at end of fiscal year.--It is considered that the channel 5 feet deep between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston, as previ- ously authorized, cannot be secured by open river improvement methods alone. A channel of less depth adequate for prevailing 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, but a site selection report is approximately completed. 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 channel below Lewiston is from 150 to 700 feet wide in the pools 'between rapids and from 30 to 150 feet wide through the rapids. Because of crooked and shoal channels through the rapids, commer- cial navigation has been limited to periods when river stages are above 3 feet as shown on the Lewiston gauge, which permits the operation of boats having a draft of about 4 feet. At the present time no commercial boats are operated on Snake River below Lewiston. The river isabove 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-power launches operate most of the year in this stretch, as far as Johnson bar 92 miles above Lewiston. Total costs from Federal funds under the existing project have been $738,070.66, of which $548,432.69 was for new work and $189,637.97 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $740,390.21. In addition $85,000 was expended on new work from contributed funds.

COLUMBIA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES ABOVE CELILO FALLS TO KENNEWICK, 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 2368. (See U. S. Geo- logical Survey map of Washington.) Previous 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. xisting 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 development 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 34/2 feet at Umatilla. Freshets due to rains sometimes occur in the early winter, but rarely exceed a 9-foot stage. Ice conditions, usually oc- curring in January or February, sometimes suspend navigation for 2 weeks or more. The Umatilla Dam authorized by River and Harbor Act approved 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 1946 is $1,592,000 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 Documents I Apr. 8,1935 Emergency Relief Appropriation Act; authorized the existing project as an emergency relief Rivers project. 73dHarbors No. 16,and Committee Cong., 2d sess.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2319 Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides that for each of the Arlington and Kennewick chan- nels 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 maintenance, when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages xesulting 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 capac- ity, 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 pri- vate warehouses at Port Kelly (mile 110.6 above Celilo) with capaci- ties of 40,000 and 44,000 bushels; a 340,000-bushel elevator at Umatilla (mile 88 above Celilo), and a 40,000-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), 5,000,000 gallons with rail connections: at Attalia (mile 117 above Celilo), 5,500,000 gallons, and at Umatilla, Oreg. (mile 88 above Celilo), 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 except as noted. The existing facilities are not considered adequate for the present commerce, but additional facilities are being provided as rapidly as economic con- ditions permit. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-Maintenance opera- tions consisted of the removal of boulders, gravel and sand from the various rapids, sweeping and sounding to locate large boulders, and drilling and blasting boulders where found in the channel. Costs for the fiscal year were $88,816.48, all for maintenance, from regular funds. Expenditures were $84,017.39. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 70 percent complete. The 7-foot channel, 150 feet wide, has been completed to the foot of Umatilla Rapids except for a shoal centered at mile 87.7 above Celilo where the controlling depth is 6 feet in a 75-foot chan- nel, and 5 feet in the 150-foot channel. The controlling depth be- tween 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 rapids is from 100 to 1,500 feet wide with depths of 7 feet or more. Between the mouth of Snake River and the mouth of Yakima River the controlling depth is 6 feet with a minimum width of about 200 feet. The remaining work required to complete the project consists-of excavating the channel to project dimensions through the shoal at mile 87.7 above Celilo Falls, widening the channel at several locations to provide safe navigation for the larger tows now navigating the 2320 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 river, and the dredging of the Arlington and the Kennewick approach channels authorized by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $1,731,174.84, of which $1,223,084.43, including $400,000 Emergency Relief funds was for new work and $508,090.41 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $1,723,918.93.

COLUMBIA RIVER, OREG. AND WASH., UMATILLA (McNARY) DAM Location.-The site of this proiect 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 principally for the improvement of navigation, creating a pool extending approximately 64 miles upstream to a point about 27 miles above Pasco, Wash. The dam, raising the normal water surface approximately 85 feet to eleva- tion 340 mean sea level, will be approximately 7,600 feet long and will consist of an earth dam at the Oregon (south) abutment, a power- house, a short section of nonoverflow dam, a spillway dam, a barge lock, and an earth dam at the Washington (north) abutment. Suit- able fish ladders will be provided. The estimate of cost of new work for the initial installation of 276,000 kilowatts, revised in 1946, is $130,735,000. The existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 704, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). Operations and results during fiscal year.-The definite project re- port was completed. A hydraulic model with structures installed was constructed and hydraulic tests initiated. Foundation exploration and materials tests were continued. Work on plans and specifications for the navigation lock was initiated. Negotiations with utility firms for the relocation of their properties affected were underway. Total costs for the fiscal year were $410,329.50, all for new work. Expenditures were $434,473.83. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction work has been done. Foundation explorations and preliminary design of structures have been partially completed. Negotiations for flowage easements and utility relocations have been initiated and are continuing. Total costs have been $437,017.19, all for new work. Expenditures have been $434,473.83.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2323 4. THE DALLES-CELILO CANAL, OREG. AND WASH. Location.-This improvement embraces about 12 miles of the Columbia River between The Dalles and Celilo, Oreg. (See U. S. Geological Survey map of Oregon.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1993 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1842 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for open-river improvement from the' foot of Threemile Rapids to the foot of The Dalles (Fivemile) Rapids, and a continuous canal on the Oregon shore from the foot of The Dalles (Fivemile) Rapids to the head of Celilo Falls, the canal to have a depth of 8 feet, width of 65 feet at the bottom, and length of 81/2 miles, with four locks, as follows: Detailed information of locks Dimensions Lift Avail- Miles Great- able When from est depth corn- Cost lower Lock * Foundation com- Cost en- length Clear Low High lower pleted trance able for width water water sill full width Feet Feet Feet Feet Feet 0 Big Eddy lock ____ Rock__________ 265 45 45 18 8. 9 1941 $477, 600 1. 6 Fivemile lock------___do_ _ 265 45 12 15 8.7 1915 246, 700 5. 2 Tenmile lock 2...... do -_ - 265 -.... 50 6 7.8 1915 149, 600 8.1 Celilo lock z- ........----- do ......... 265 45 ..------- 6 7. 9 1915 103, 200 1 Originally constructed tandem locks converted to single lift lock in 1941. 2Not 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. 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 approved June 26, 1934. For latest published map see Annual Report for 1915, page 3380. Localcooperation.--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. 2324 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Operations and results during fiscal year.-The canal and locks were in continuous operation throughout the year, except for a period of 4 days (3:25 a. m., March 26 to 12:15 a. m.,March 30, 1946) during replacement of the upstream rest pier of bridge No. 5. In addition to ordinary maintenance and" repair,'two new valves were installed at Big Eddy lock; a new water pump and fire protection pipe line and pump were installed at Fivemile lock. The reconstruction of tele- phone lines from Big Eddy to Celilo and a 20- by 100-foot storage warehouse with a 50- by 30-foot open storage platform were com- pleted. Plans for alterations of bridges Nos. 3, 6, and 7 were com- pleted and electric motors were purchased for those bridges. The dredge Depoe Bay removed 3,590 cubic yards of material from the canal. Total costs for the fiscal year were $94,584.47, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $101,173.83. Conditions at end of fiscal year. The canal was completed in 1919. The originally constructed tandem locks were converted into a single lift lock in 1941. The total available dimensions of the canal and lock are required by existing navigation. Local interests have requested enlargement and modernization of present facilities. Total costs under the existing project have been $5,737,920.93 of which $4,669,092.33 was for new work; $5,445.17 for maintenance, and $1,063,383.43 for operation and care.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT BONNEVILLE, OREG. Loction.-On the Columbia River, 42 miles east of Portland, Oreg., about 144 miles above the mouth of the river. For description of the Columbia River see page 2368. Existing project.-This project provides for a dam, power plant, and lock, for power and navigation. The spillway dam extends across the main river channel from the Washington shore to 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 road- way permits the operation of two 350-ton gantry cranes for regulating the gates. The powerhouse extending across Bradford slough to the Oregon shore has an installation of 10 units, consisting of 2 units of 43,200 kilowatts each and 8 units of 54,000 kilowatts each, totaling 518,400 kilowatts. The ordinary and extreme fluctuations of the river at the lower lock gate are about 21 and 47 feet, respectively. The project includes fish ladders and locks to serve both the main channel and the Bradford slough channel The lock and powerhouse are founded 2326 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 19 4 6 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.

COLUMBIA RIVER BETWEEN VANCOUVER, WASH., AND THE DALLES, OREG. Location. This improvement consists of the construction of a ship channel between the Interstate Bridge at Vancouver, Wash., and The Dalles, Oreg., 190 miles above the mouth of the river. For description of Columbia River, see page 2368. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 27 feet deep at low water and 300 feet wide between Vancouver, Wash., and The Dalles, Oreg., 85 miles; a channel 10 feet deep at low water and 300 feet wide at the upstream entrance to Oregon slough, Oregon; a suitable turn- ing basin adjacent to the site of port development in the vicinity of Camas and Washougal, Wash.; a boat basin at Hood River, Oreg., 500 by 1,300 feet and 10 feet deep at normal Bonneville pool level, with a connecting channel of the same depth to deep water, and a protecting breakwater on the easterly side; a barge channel to the waterfront at Bingen, Wash., 10 feet deep at normal Bonneville pool level, 200 feet wide and approximately 1 mile long, and for an access channel 7 feet deep at normal Bonneville pool level, 100 feet wide and approximately 1,000 feet long, to a natural mooring basin for small boats near the east end of the channel; and for the construction of The Dalles Harbor, Oreg., to provide a breakwater and shear boom protected basin ap- proximately 400 by 800 feet in size with depth of 8 feet below a pool elevation of 72.5 feet mean sea level. The lower end of the project is about 106.5 miles above the mouth of the river. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at Vancouver is about 2/2 feet and at Bonneville about 0.2 footfat 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 1946, is $4,986,500. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $216,500. The existing project was authorized under the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2335 Act Work authorized Documents Aug. 26, 1937 Construction of a channel 27 feet deep by 300 feet House Committee Doc.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides in connection with the Camas-Washougal turning basin that local interests furnish assurances that they will construct a suitable freight terminal, open to all on equal terms, and bear addi- tional cost of disposing of dredged material behind bulkheads pro- vided by them; and provides that no dredging will be performed by the United States within 50 fet of the proposed dock. The act of July 24, 1946, provides that for improvements at Hood River, Oreg., and at Bingen, Wash., local interests furnish free of cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way, agree to maintain depths in the basins, and to construct, operate, and maintain necessary mooring facilities and a public wharf available to all on equal terms. For The Dalles, the act of July 24, 1946, provides that local interests (a) furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way required for new work, and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work, and for subsequent maintenance when and as required, (b) provide necessary bulkheads, and (c) agree to construct, maintain, and operate within the basin suitable moorages and a public landing with adequate supply facilities, open to all on equal terms. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal facilities at present avail- able or suitable for ocean vessels on the stretch of the river under the project are at Vancouver, Wash., and The Dalles, Oreg. There are two municipal wharves at Vancouver, Wash. There are also privately owned wharves for shipment of lumber and other commodities and a privately owned grain elevator and wharf at Vancouver, Wash. The Port of Camas-Washougal has constructed a wharf 528 feet in length at Washougal, Wash., which will be available for ocean vessels when adequate channel is provided. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. 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 ware- houses, each 94 by 461 feet, on this wharf with rail connections. There is also a municipal oil terminal consisting of a concrete and timber 2336 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S, ARMY, 1946 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 lo- cated 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 eleva- tor 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 fiscal year-New work.-Probing by drill barge No. 59 to ascertain the classification of the proposed Camas-Washougal turning basin excavation was completed. Maintenance.-Hydrographic surveys were made by Government plant and hired labor. Total costs for the fiscal year were $8,692.77, of which $3,384.61 was for new work and $5,308.16 for maintenance. Expenditures were $10,272.58. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 55 percent complete. The main channel between Vancouver, Wash., and Bon- neville, Oreg., was completed in 1942, except for the removal of 3,100 cubic yards of rock reef at mile 10 and the removal of 14,000 cubic yards of indurated material at mile 16. The controlling depth, at low water, in the channel between Van- couver and Bonneville is about 13 feet. During summer freshets, which generally occur during May, June, or July, controlling depths are increased from 15 to 33 feet. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of the completion of channel excavation at miles 10 and 16; the improvement of the lower entrance to the Bonneville ship canal; the dredging of a turning basin adjacent to the site of the proposed port development in the vicinity of Camas and Washougal, Wash.; the dredging of a channel 27 feet deep and 300 feet wide between Bonneville and The Dallas; dredging a channel 10 feet deep and 300 feet wide at the upstream entrance to Oregon slough, dredging a boat basin 10 feet deep, 500 feet wide, and 1,300 feet long at Hood River, Oreg.; dredging a barge channel 17 feet deep, 200 feet wide, and approximately 1 mile long; and for an access chan- nel 7 feet deep, 100 feet wide, and 1,000 feet long at Bingen, Wash.; and the construction of The Dalles Harbor, Oreg., which provides for a breakwater and boom protected basin approximately 400 by 800 feet in size, with a depth of 8 feet below a pool elevation of 72.5 feet above mean sea level. Total costs have been $3,016,397.92, of which $2,716,177.63 was for new work and $300,220.29 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $3,017,858.98.

WILLAMETTE RIVER, ABOVE PORTLAND, AND YAMHBILL RIVER, OREG. Location.-The Willamette River rises in the Cascade Range in southwestern Oregon, flows northerly, and empties into the Columbia River about 100 miles from the sea. Its length from the source of the middle fork is about 294 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6155 and the U. S. Geological Survey map, State of Oregon.) The Yamhill River rises in the Coast Range, flows easterly, and empties into the Willamette River about 42 miles above Portland. Its length from the source of the south fork is about 52 miles. Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1871, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1997 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1754 of Annual Report for 1938. Eamisting 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 neces- sary 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 a channel 2.5 to 3.5 feet deep at low RIVERS AND IHARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2339 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 obstruc- tions. The section of Willamette River in the vicinity of Willamette Falls at Oregon City is covered by a project described on page 2343 of this report. The following table shows the principal features of the lock and dam in Yamhill River: Location: 11/2 miles below Lafayette, Oreg., 8 miles above the mouth. Usable lock dimensions: One lock 175 by 38 feet. Lift of lock : 16 feet. Depth on sills at low water: 4 feet on upper sill; 2 feet on lower sill. Character of foundation: Timber piling in clay. Kind of dam: Fixed. Type of construction: Timber crib. Date of completion: September 21, 1900. Cost: $72,164.83. For the Willamette River below the falls at Oregon City ordinary fluctuation of stage of water is 15 feet and the extreme fluctuation due to flood conditions 35 to 50 feet. Above Oregon City the 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 Wil- lamette to zero 26 miles above the mouth. The approved estimate (1946) of cost for new work on the existing project is $1,703,000. 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. For information concern- ing the comprehensive flood-control plan for Willamette River Basin see page 2407.

' Flood Control Act. 2340 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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. Operations and results during fiscal year---New work.-Excavation of the 21/2- to 3 -foot channel between Albany and Corvallis was completed in September 1945. A total of 181,390 cubic yards of ma- terial was removed at a cost of $101,213.24. Maintenance.-Maintenance dredging on bars and shoals by hired plant and by Government plant and the removal of snags by Govern- ment plant resulted in maintaining sufficient depths for present navi- gation requirements. The various items of maintenance and their costs during the fiscal year were as follows: Dredging by hired plant and Government plant, 794,077 cubic yards. $287, 543. 65 Snag removal by Government plant------ _---- --------- 6, 138. 10 Rock removal from channel in the vicinity of Rock Island by hired labor and Government plant ------------------------------- 46, 935. 01 Bank stabilization between Oregon City and Corvallis by hired labor -------------------------------------------------- 3, 659. 65 Restoration of staff gages, by hired labor_ ------ -------- 27, 840. 21 Hydrographic surveys __------------- ----------------- - 30, 609. 15 Dike repair by hired labor_ ___-----571. 83 Operation and care of lock and dam in Yamhill River: Operation--------------------------------------------- 5, 919. 56 Ordinary maintenance and repair__ ---- ..---.----------- 291. 80 Total--------------------------------------------- 409, 508. 96 Total costs for the fiscal year were $510,722.20, of which $101,213.24 was for new work and $409,508.96 for maintenance including $6,211.36 for operation and care. Expenditures were $524,492.56. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 50 percent complete. The 8-foot channel between Portland and Oregon City, and the 21/2- to 3 -foot channel between Oregon City and Albany were completed in 1939. The 21/2- to 31/2-foot channel between Albany and Corvallis was completed in September 1945. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of the construction 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. Controlling depths are 8 feet from Portland to Oregon City, 3 feet from Oregon City 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, 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. The Yamhill lock and grounds are in fair condition, but the dam is in poor condition. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2341 The total costs under the existing project from Federal funds, have been $4,373,784.87 of which $615,169.74 was for new work and $3,705,- 732.94 for maintenance, and $52,882.19 for operation and care. Expenditures have been $4,357,840.45. 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 improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriations for such pur- poses. In addition, $7,500 was contributed and expended for main- tenance and $484,900 from emergency flood control funds was ex- pended 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 re- place 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 3,500 feet. The following table shows the principal features of the existing 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. 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 1946 is $4,374,100. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care, revised in 1945, is $101,000. 1A guard lock 210 by 40 feet, which is used only at higher stages of water, is located at the upper end of the canal basin. 2A concrete division wall, 1,227 feet long, extending from lock No. 4 to the guard lock, separates the upper basin of the canal from the head race, which formerly led directly from the basin and supplied water for the power plants operated by the Crown Willamette 3 Paper Co. and the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. The dam is owned by private parties. 2344 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Expenditures were $123,986.94. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The final report on the purchase 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 new work on existing facilities 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 continuously service- able 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 specifications have been completed. Total costs have been $1,323,338.80, of which $518,839.79 ($379,- 839.79 for purchase and rehabilitation for existing locks and canal from river and harbor funds and $139,000 for preliminary work on RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2345 new locks from flood-control funds) was for new work and $804,389.01 for maintenance (operation and care) from river and harbor funds. Expenditures have been $1,324,199.26, of which $139,000 was from flood-control funds and $1,185,199.26 from river and harbor funds. In addition, $300,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work on existing canal and locks, and the sum of $452,109.76 was ex- pended between April 16, 1915, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of works of improvement under the provisions of the per- manent indefinite appropriations for such purposes.

COLUMBIA AND LOWER WILLAMETTE RIVERS BELOW VANCOUVER, WASH., AND PORTLAND, OREG. Location.-This project embraces 1031/2 miles of Columbia River below Vancouver, Wash., and 14 miles of Willamette River below Portland, Oreg. For description of Columbia River see page 2368, and of Willamette River, page 2338. Previous projects.-Some relief dredging was done between 1866 and 1876. Projects were adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 18, 1878; July 13, 1892; June 13, 1902; and March 3, 1905. For further details see pages 1995 and 1998 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1746 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.- This provides for a channel 35 feet deep and 500 feet wide in the Columbia River from its mouth to the mouth of the Willamette, 101.5 miles, and thence up the Willamette River to the Broadway Bridge at Portland, 12 miles; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide from the Broadway Bridge to Ross Island, 14 miles above the mouth of Willamette River, to be maintained by the port of Portland; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the Columbia River from RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2347 the mouth of the Willamette River to the interstate highway bridge at Vancouver, Wash., about 5 miles, with two turning basins of same depth at Vancouver, 800 feet wide and approximately 2,000 and 3,000 feet long for the upper and lower basins, respectively, and auxiliary channels 10 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the vicinity of Cathlamet, Wash., 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in St. Helens (Oreg.) Channel, and 30 feet deep and 500 feet wide connecting the upper end of the St. Helens Channel with the main ship channel of the Columbia; 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide along the frontage of the town of Rainier, Oreg., extended at its upper and lower ends to deep water in the 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 approximately 3,000 feet upstream from the present terminus of the harbor 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; construction of a small boat mooring basin at Astoria, Oreg., to include a sheet pile, sand filled breakwater about 2,400 feet long with a 20-foot roadway along its full length, and steel pile shore wings totaling about 1,460 feet in length; and for the construction of stone and pile dikes and revetments. The existing project also pro- vides for maintenance to not to exceed 35 feet depth at low water, over such areas in the project channel of the Willamette River between its mouth and the Broadway Bridge, Portland, as have been dredged under the existing project by the port of Portland, no 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 freshlets have but little effect on depths at the mouth of the Columbia; at Portland and Vancouver they average about 20 feet, while the highest known reached a stage of 33 feet above low water. The estimate of cost for new work, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and exclusive of contributed funds in the amount of $102,570.99, revised in 1946 is $5,094,000 including the dike con- struction authorized in 1912 and 1922, and for a channel 35 feet deep by 500 feet wide, but not including $2,500 contributed toward the auxiliary channel at Rainier, the work contributed by the port of Portland, nor the estimate of $750,000 for a new dredge authorized by Congress in 1922 for better maintenance, 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. 721584-47-pt. 1, vol. 2- 64 2348 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The act of July 24, 1946, authorizing the construction of a small-boat mooring basin at Astoria, Oreg., provides that local interests furnish assurances to the United States that they will furnish free of costs all necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way for the new work and subsequent main- tenance when and as required; provide all necessary dredging in the basin; and construct, maintain, and operate mooring facilities within the basin, sewers, water, and electric supply lines, and a public landing with suitable supply facilities open to all on equal terms. Terminal facilities.--At Portland, Oreg., there are under public ownership three terminals for general cargo. There is one drydock of 10,000 tons and another of 15,000 tons capacity, both under public ownership and operation. Under private ownership, but open to the public on equal terms, are 11 general cargo, 5 grain and flour, 6 lumber, 1 cement, and 9 crude-oil and gasoline terminals, besides 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 receiving of coal, oil, and general merchandise. At Vancouver, Wash., there are two municipal terminal wharves. There are also privately owned wharves for shipment of lumber and other commodities and a privately owned grain elevator and wharf. At Kalama, Wash., there is a municipal wharf for shipment of lumber. The port of Longview has a public terminal on the Columbia River at Longview, Wash., and the Long-Bell Lumber Co. and 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 oceangoing carriers. These facilities, with the planned extensions, are considered ade- quate for the present needs of commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 11, Corps of Engineers.). Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging was done, with Government plant or hired plant, in all bars and chan- nels where surveys indicated considerable shoaling. Approximate project dimensions were maintained throughout the year. A total of 7,538,017 cubic yards of material was removed from 29 bars at a cost of $829,742.47. Repairs to 13 existing dikes by contract between the mouth and Stella bar were completed except for the placing of lower waling timber, which will be done when flood waters recede. Ninety-six percent of the work was completed at a cost of $45,403.48. Hydrographic surveys of the channel were made during the year with Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $63,848.16. Total costs for the fiscal year were $938,994.11 all for maintenance from regular funds. Expenditures were $937,366.70. 2350 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 98 percent 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 turning basin in 1939. Of the 145 dikes constructed on this project, 13 were repaired during 1946 and are in good condition, 18 are in poor condition and will be repaired during the fiscal year 1947, 12 are in fair condition and are scheduled for repair in the fiscal year 1948. The remaining 102 dikes are in good condition. The channel is in good condition. At the end of the fiscal year, the controlling depth in the Columbia River to the mouth of Willamette River was 35 feet. Above the mouth of Willamette River, the Van- couver channel had a controlling depth of 30 feet and in the Willa- mette 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 32 feet at low tide and 35 feet at high tide is practicable throughout the year. In the Columbia River between the mouth of Willamette River and Vancouver, Wash., drafts of 26 feet and 28 feet at low and high tide respectively are practicable throughout the year. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of constructing the auxiliary channel in the vicinity of the port of Long- view, the improvement of the old mouth of the Cowlitz River, and the construction of a small-boat mooring-basin at Astoria, Qreg.

MULTNOMAH CHANNEL, OREG. Location.-Multnomah Channel, formerly known as Willamette slough, is a back channel 22 miles long connecting the Columbia River near the town of St. Helens, Oreg., with the Willamette River at the north boundary of the city of Portland, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6154.) Existing project.-This provides for the removal of sunken logs throughout the waterway; for a channel at the Columbia end 300 feet wide and 25 feet deep, extending for a distance of about 5,000 feet; and for a channel at the Willamette end 250 feet wide and 25 feet deep, extending for a distance of about 9,500 feet. Low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at St. Helens is about 3 feet at low stages of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, and the extreme range about 31/2 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1932, was $20,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,300. The existing project was authorized by the Public Works Admin- istration February 15, 1935, and by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. No. 47, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. 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 creo- soting plant at the mouth of Scappoose Bay on Multnomah Channel has a mooring place for tankers of moderate draft. Near the south end of the channel the quay wharf of the B. F. Johnson Lumber Co., RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2353 300 feet in length, is the only terminal used for making ocean ship- ments. Other facilities on the channel consist df 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. The controlling depth is 21 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 Multnomah 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.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1947. The additional sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for the removal of snags and sunken logs by Govern- ment plant and hired labor.

LAKE RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river, located in Clark County, Wash., is the outlet of Vancouver Lake, located about 2 miles northwest of Vancouver, Wash. The stream flows in a northerly direction for about 11 miles and empties into the Columbia River about 88 miles above the mouth. (See map of Columbia National Forest, U. S. Forest Service, 1935, and U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart'No. 6154.) 2354 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Existing project. This provides for a channel 6 feet deep at low water and 100 feet wide from the mouth of the river to Ridgefield (3 miles). The mean tidal range between mean lower low and mean higher high waters at the mouth of the river is 3 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1930, was $3,000. The latest (1932) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, in accordance with House Committee Document No. 2, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session, as modified by the report of the War Department dated May 10, 1930, pursuant to the Commerce Com- mittee resolution of February 22, 1930. Terminal facilities.-There are four timber wharves on Lake River. These are at Ridgefield, 21/2 miles above the mouth of the river. Two of these wharves are open to the public and two are privately owned. The principal traffic is floated logs, which are placed in the river from a log dump connected with the railway at Felida. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1931. There is a shoal at the mouth of the river; above the mouth project depths of 6 feet in a channel 100 feet wide generally prevail. Total costs and expenditures have been $6,700, of which $2,700 was for new work and $4,000 for maintenance, all from regular funds. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1947. The sum of $3,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948, for removal of snags by contract, August and September 1947.

LEWIS RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range in Washington, flows westerly and southwesterly 110 miles, and empties into the Columbia River about 88 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6153 and 6154.) Previous projects.---The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1899, and modified by the River and Har- bor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 2001, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1762, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a low-water channel 6 feet deep and 50 feet wide to the mouth of the East Fork (33/4 miles) ; 4 feet deep and 50 feet wide on the East Fork from its mouth to La Center (3 RIVERS AND I ARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2355 miles); 4 feet deep and 50 feet wide on Lewis River (North Fork) from East Fork to Woodland (3 miles), to be secured by dredging and by the construction of regulating works and for clearing the chan- nel to Ariel (16 miles above Woodland). The maximum variation of water level due to tides ranges from about 3 feet at the mouth to 11/2 feet at La Center and zero at Woodland. During ordinary freshets a stage of 14 feet and, at extreme floods, a stage of about 24 feet is reached in the main river at Woodland, Wash. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1913 was $61,500 exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Doc. No. 28, 62d Cong., 1st sess.). For latest published map see page 3557 of Annual Report for 1904. Recommended modifications of project.-The Chief of Engineers has recommended that the project be modified by eliminating all work on the East Fork and on the North Fork above Woodland (H. Doc. No. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-At La Center, on the East Fork, and at Wood- land, on the North Fork, respectively, the terminals, pile and timber structures, are publicly owned and are considered adequate for the existing commerde. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1927. The channel is in poor condition. The controlling depth is 2 feet to Woodland and 1 foot to La Center. Total costs and expenditures have been $103,215.76, of which $35,880.44 was for new work and $67,335.32 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1947. The sum of $3,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for snagging by Government plant and hired labor or by contract, September 1947.

COWLITZ RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range in Washington, flows westerly and southerly about 120 miles, and empties into the Columbia River about 69 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6153.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details see page 2000 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1763 of Annual Report for 1938. 2356 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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/ feet deep at low water and not less than 40 feet wide to Toledo (18 miles), to be secured by snagging, dredging, and regulating works. The water level, due to tides, varies from 4 feet at the mouth to zero 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 of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910 (H. Doc. No. 1167, 60th Cong., 2d sess., from the mouth to Castle Rock, and H. Doec. No. 404, 61st Cong., 2d sess., from Castle Rock to Toledo). For the latest published map see House Document No. 1167, Sixtieth Congress, second session. Recommended modifications of project.-The Chief of Engineers has recommended that the project be modified by the elimination of all work above Castle Rock (H. Doec. No. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-Above Kelso the terminal facilities are limited to two log dumps. At Kelso there are a number of small private wharves and one public landing. Between Kelso and the mouth there are two private commercial wharves. These facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Maintenance dredging in the channel between mile 4.5 and mile 5.5 above the mouth was done by contract, restoring project depths of 4 feet. A total of 19,430 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $4,550. Ex- perimental dredging by the 12-inch pipe line dredge Luckiamute was done at mile 4.5 and mile 7. A total of 1,440 cubic yards of material was removed, at a cost of $6,380.68. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $2,031.55. Total costs for the fiscal year were $12,962.23. Expenditures were $12,961.93. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1913. The channel between the mouth and the railroad bridge at mile 5.5 is in fair condition. Above the railroad bridge the channel is in poor condition. The controlling depths are 4 feet between the mouth and mile 5.5 and 1.5 feet from mile 5.5 to mile 9 at Ostrander.

WESTPORT SLOUGH, OREG. Location.--Westport slough is a side channel of the Columbia River located about 70 miles below Portland, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6152.) Existing project.---This provides for a channel 28 feet deep and generally 200 feet wide, from deep water in the Columbia River to the ferry dolphin immediately downstream from the Westport Lum- ber Co. wharf, a distance of about 3,500 feet. Low water is the plane of reference. The average tidal range during low-water conditions in the 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 maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 79, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in this document. 2358 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Local cooperation.-Conditionsof local cooperation, requiring local interests to provide suitable spoil-disposal areas and to dredge and maintain a channel 28 feet deep and 150 feet wide from the ferry dolphin to the upper end of the Westport Lumber Co. wharf, are being complied with. Spoil-disposal areas have been furnished and approved by the Chief of Engineers, November 26, 1938. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal is the privately owned wharf of the Westport Lumber Co. There is no need at present for additional terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging in the channel was done during January 1946 by the U. S. pipe-line dredge Wahkiakun. A total of 75,053 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $6,187.55. Hydrographic surveys were made by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $703.73. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $6,981.28, all for maintenance from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. The channel is in good condition. In January 1946, the controlling depth was 28 feet in a channel 200 feet wide. Total costs and expenditures have been $36,435.30, of which $16,276.19 was for new work and $20,159.11 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1947.

SKAMOKAWA CREEK, WASH. Location.-This creek rises in Wahkiakum County, in the south- western part of the State of Washington, flows southwesterly and southerly about 10 miles, and empties into the Columbia River about 34 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6152.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 61/2 feet deep at low water and 75 feet wide between Steamboat and Brooks sloughs, about 1,600 feet. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 7 feet and the maximum variation of water level due to tides or freshets is about 12 feet. During ordinary fresh- ets a stage of 9 feet and at extreme floods a stage of 12 feet is reached in the creek at Skamokawa, Wash. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1919, was $2,400. The latest (1925) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919 (H. Doc. No. 111, 63d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Terminal facilities.-There are three privately owned wharves, one on Steamboat slough and two above Brooks slough, used for general freight and passenger purposes, and these are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1920. The channel is in fair condition. A survey of No- vember 1943, showed a controlling depth of 61/2 feet in a channel 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.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1947. The sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for maintenance dredging in the channel by contract, Octo- ber 1947.

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 dis- tance of about 3 miles. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme about 13 feet. The approved estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946 to include the west channel, is $349,000. The latest (1945) approved 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 docu- pnents. Terminal facilities.-Terminals have been constructed at Ilwaco along Holman Waterway, 200 feet wide by 3,000 feet in length and bn a dredged basin 400 by 1,000 feet. The facilities consist of wharves, floats, ramps, and berths for oil barges and oil boats. The facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging in the channel by the U. S. pipe-line dredge Wahkiakum removed a total of 485,587 cubic yards of material at a cost of $16,430.06. Hydro- graphic surveys were made at a cost of $716.96. ]Expenditures Total costs for the fiscal year were $17,147.02 all for maintenance. were $21,060.30. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 34 percent complete. The channel extending through the easterly passage at Sand Island to the Port of Ilwaco, Wash., was completed in 1934. The controlling depth as shown by a survey of August 1945 is 10 feet for a width of 200 feet. The west channel extending from deep water in Columbia River to the main channel near Ilwaco, authorized under the River and RIVERS AND HARBORS PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2367 Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, was partially completed with military funds during June 1943 and August 1944. This work con- sisted of dredging a channel from Ilwaco to Fort Canby, approxi- mately 1 mile, to a depth of from 9 to 11 feet. The controlling depth of this section as shown by a survey of April 1946 is 8 feet. No work has been done on the remainder of the west channel. The remaining work required to complete the project is the completion of the west channel. Total costs and expenditures have been $200,603.38 of which $78,577.47 was for new work and $122,025.91 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, amounting to $4,974.09, will be applied to hydrographic surveys. The additional sum of $44,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948, for maintenance as follows: Dredging in channel between the head of Sand Island and Ilwaco by Government pipe-line dredge, May 1948----------------------- $41, 000 Hydrographic surveys----------------------------------------- 3, 000 Total ------------------------------------- ------- ---- 44, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1946 $78, 577. 47 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946------------------ 122, 025. 91 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1946 _ ___ 200, 603. 38 Net total expenditures_------------------------------ 200, 603. 38 Unexpended balance June 30, 1946------ - -4, 974. 09 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1946_------ __ 205, 577. 47 Fiscal year ending June 30 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 Cost of new work .............. ..................................----- -------- Cost of maintenance-------------- $1, 092.96 $35, 850.32 $818.18 $26,060. 71 $17,147.02 Total expended.------------------ 11, 097. 93 35, 850. 32 755. 34 22, 210. 27 21, 060. 30 Allotted-------------------.....................-----... 20, 000. 00 -------------- 27, 000. 00 20,000.00 2,000. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1945 ---------------------------- $24, 034. 39 Amount allotted during fiscal year---------------------------- 2, 000. 00 Amount to be accounted for.--------------------- 26, 034. 39 Gross amount expended__------------------------------------ 21, 060. 30 Balance unexpended June 30, 1946--------------- ------- 4, 974. 09 ---------------------------- Outstanding liabilities, June 30, 1946.... 100. 00 Balance available June 30, 1946------------------------- 4, 874. 09 Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for completion of existing project -------------------------------------------- 270, 000. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, for maintenance --------- 44, 000. 00 Exclusive of available funds. 2368 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 22. 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 Wash- ington, flows southerly to the mouth of Snake River, thence westerly between Oregon and Washington, and empties into the Pacific Ocean 645 miles north of San Francisco Bay and 160 miles south of the Straits of Juan de Fuca. The total length of the river is 1,210 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5902, 6151, 6152, 6153, 6154, 6155, and 6156; also Geological Survey map of Washington.) Previousproject.-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 reference. The tidal range on the bar between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme tidal range is about 13 feet. The estimate of cost for new work was as follows: For the south jetty extension revised in 1909, $8,014,164; for the north jetty, revised in 1913, $5,966,573; and for remodeling and operating the dredge made in 1905, $250,000; a total of $14,230,737, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (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 covered by special allotments. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905, making final provision for the south jetty, the con- struction of the north jetty, and dredging (H. Doc. No. 94, 56th Cong., 1st sess., and Annual Report for 1903, p. 2275). The construction of the north jetty was approved July 29, 1910, and a modification of its alinement December 27, 1913. The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1921 opposite page 1868. Local cooperation.-The existing project contains no conditions re- quiring local cooperation. However, during 1914 the port of Portland contributed $475,000 and the port of Astoria $25,000 to this improve- ment. These amounts have been expended, the greater part having been applied to the purchase of stone for the north jetty. Terminal facilities.--Forterminal and transfer facilities see report on Columbia and Lower Willamette Rivers. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging in the entrance channel on Clatsop Spit by the U. S. hopper dredge Col. F. S. Michie resulted in the removal of 186,909 cubic yards of material at a cost of $26,474.32. Hydrographic and topographic sur- veys were made at a cost of $6,013.98. Rehabilitation of jetty A was continued by contract. A total of 27,823 tons of rock was placed at a cost of $147,713.97. Total costs for the fiscal year were $180,202.27, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $150,338.68. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2369 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1918. The north jetty is in good condition. The south jetty is in good condition for a distance of about 8,000 feet west of the knuckle. Rehabilitation of jetty A by contract using rock from a Government owned quarry is approximately 60 percent complete. A total of 27,823 tons of rock has been placed. The seas have broken through the narrow portion of Sand Island about 2 miles from the east end. A survey of August 1945 shows a controlling depth of 42 feet on the bar and a survey made in June 1946 shows a controlling depth of 36 feet on the right half of the channel and 38 feet on the left half at Clatsop Spit. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $21,360,183.48 of which $11,357,506.35 was for new work and $10,002,- 677.13 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $21,326,251.31. 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, 1946, in- cluding accounts receivable, amounting to $321,464.40, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable - $34, 036. 08 Repairs to jetty A by contract_ 193, 598. 94 Dredging entrance channel at Clatsop Spit by a seagoing hopper dredge, July, August, and September 1946--_------------- _ 87, 000. 00 Repair to sand fences by hired labor______________________ 4, 500. 00 Hydrographic surveys by Government plant-- ------------------- 2, 329. 38 Total_------------------ ----- --------------------- 321,464.40 The additional sum of $350,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for maintenance as follows: Operation of a seagoing hopper dredge in the entrance channel about 3 months-------------------------------- -- $115,000 Repairs to sand fences by hired labor ----------------- _ 5, 000 Repairs to Sand Island revetments by contract--------------------- 20, 000 Completion of repairs to jetty A by contract-_ ------------------- 200, 000 Hydrographic surveys ---------------------------------------- 10, 000 Total-- --- ----------------------------------------- 350, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1946_ 1 $13, 343, 759. 49 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946-------- ------------- 10, 002, 677. 13 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1946_....... 23, 346, 436. 62 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1946---------_ - 103. 91 Gross total costs to June 30, 1946_ 23, 346, 540. 53 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1946-------------- - 34, 036. 08 Net total expenditutres. __ _ 23, 312, 504. 45 Unexpended balance June 30, 1946- ------------------- 321, 360. 49 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1946 _ 1 23, 633, 864. 94 Fiscal year ending June 30 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 Cost of new work -------- Cost of maintenance_------------_ $412, 328. 21 $8, 270. 65 $61, 385. 49 $152, 929. 17 $180, 202. 27 Total expended---..............----------.... 552, 019. 37 7, 504. 96 56, 381.65 155, 599. 83 150, 338. 68 Allotted.- -_ ------ . .----- - 230, 790. 00 52, 000. 00 -123, 000. 00 325, 000. 00 156, 500. 00 1In addition $500,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work. 2370 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

TILLAMOOK BAY AND BAR, OREG. Location.-This bay is located on the Oregon coast about 50 miles south of the mouth of Columbia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5902 and 6112.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of August 11, 1888, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1989 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1474 of Annual Report for 1936. Existing project.-This provides for a jetty about 5,700 feet long on the north side of the entrance; for a channel through the bar 18 feet deep and of such width as can be practically and economically obtained; for a channel 200 feet wide and 18 feet deep from deep water in the bay to Miami Cove, including a turning basin 500 feet wide in Miami Cove; for a channel to Hobsonville, 200 feet wide and 16 feet deep, with turning basin 500 feet wide at Hobsonville; and regulating works as needed. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. " The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal range at the entrance are 7.4 feet and about 13 feet, respectively. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1942, is $604,450, exclusive of contributed funds. The latest (1925) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $25,000 for entrance and bay chan- nels. No provision was made for maintaining the jetty.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1925, provides that no work is to be done in the Hobsonville Channel until assurance is given that a mill of substantial capacity will be erected in the vicinity of Hobsonville. This condition has not been complied with. All other prescribed conditions of local cooperation have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Tillamook has about 1,000 feet of wharves fronting on Hoquarton slough, all privately owned. At Garibaldi there is a privately owned wharf and a publicly owned float landing suitable for small boats. The existing facilities are considered ade- quate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Repairs to a section of the shore end of the jetty were completed October 18, 1945, by contract at a cost of $10,255.15. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $4,286.72. Total costs for the fiscal year were $14,541.87, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $14,604.35. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 98 percent complete. The jetty was completed in 1933 and is in poor condition with the outer 800 feet below low water level. A section near the shore was repaired during September and October 1945. The re- maining work required to complete the project is the dredging of the Hobsonville Channel and turning basin, which work will not be done until navigation requires deeper water. A survey of August 1945 shows a controlling depth of 101/2 feet in the entrance channel, 10 feet in the bay channel to Miami Cove, and 10 feet in the channel to Htobsonville. Total costs under the existing project have been $1,466,178.55, of which $574,446.78 was for new work and $891,731.77 for maintenance not including $398,832.70 for new work, and $6,450 for maintenance from contributed funds. The total expenditures have been $1,466,- t'41.03 from United States funds, and $405,282.70 from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, in- cluding accounts receivable, amounting to $535.71, will be applied to hydrographic surveys by Government plant and hired labor. 2372 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2373 24. 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 retaining wall along the easterly side. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high 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 1946 is $394,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance 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 existing project as described. The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation.-Provisionsof River and Harbor Act approved August 26, 1937, have been fully complied with except for the con- struction 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 road- way, 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 land- ings just inside the entrance, privately owned and used by operators of excursion and fishing boats. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging in the basin and entrance was done during May 1946. A total of 3,150 cubic yards of material was removed by the U. S. pipe-line dredge Depoe Bay at a cost of $8,493.03, including hydrographic surveys. Total costs during the fiscal year were $8,493.03, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $7,451.12. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Dredgingof the basin and entrance channel to a depth of 5 feet was completed in 1939. No work has been done on the increased dimensions of the channel and basin, the retaining wall or the jetty at the entrance, authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, as a project modification. The controlling depth in the entrance channel is 5 feet and in the basin a depth of 5 feet generally prevails. Total costs have been $87,962.55, of which $30,961.19 was 'for new work and $57,001.36 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $86,484.19. 2374 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.) Eaxisting project.-This provides for two controlling half-tide dikes of piling, brush, and stone, each about 1,100 feet long (constructed by local interests) and for a channel 10 feet deep and generally 150 feet wide in Yaquina River and 200 feet wide in Depot slough, extending from the town of Yaquina to Toledo, about 9 miles. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. 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.-Fully complied with. Termiral facilities.-At Yaquina, at the mouth of the river, which is also the head of the bay, there is a small wharf of about 50 feet frontage. The port of Toledo has a public wharf in Depot slough, at Toledo, with frontage of about 600 feet. The city of Toledo also has a public wharf of about 50 feet frontage on Depot slough built to accommodate small motorboats. There are also at Toledo two pri- vately owned slips having special facilities for transferring lumber to lighters. These terminals are considered adequate for present com- merce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging by the U. S. pipe-line dredge Depoe Bay removed a total of 5,630 cubic yards of material from Depot slough at a cost of $4,736.54. Hydro- graphic surveys were made at a cost of $212.04. Total costs for the fiscal year were $4,948.58, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $8,330.39. 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 10 feet at mean low water in a channel 100 feet wide: Above Toledo to the head of navigation the controlling depth is about 2 feet in a channel 100 feet wide at mean low water. At Toledo in Depot slough the controlling depth is 6 feet. Total costs and expenditures have been $105,288.07, of which $28,800 was for new work and $76,488.07 for maintenance, not including $43,200 2376 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 for new work and $3,000 for maintenance from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, amounting to $1,411.34, will be applied to hydrographic surveys for maintenance. The additional sum of $18,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for maintenance, as follows: Dredging between Yaquina and Toledo by contract, December 1947_ - - $16, 000 Hydrographic surveys____-,__ _----------- --- __-------___- 2, 000 Total_------------------------------------------------ 18, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1946___________________________ 1 $28, 800. 00 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946__-___________________ I 76, 488. 07 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1946------------ 105, 288. 07 Net total expenditures_ _------------------------------------ 1 105, 288. 07 Unexpended balance June 30, 1946_ ________- --- __ _-- 1, 411. 34 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1946 ------------- 106, 699. 41 Fiscal year ending June 30 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 Cost of new work __ _ .------------------------------ - -- --------- - ----------- Cost of maintenance ------------- $25, 999. 66 .------------...--..--------..... $3, 640. 08 $4, 948. 58 Total expended------------------ 25, 999. 66 --------------------------- 258. 27 8, 330. 39 Allotted -------------------------------------------------------- 10, 000.00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1945_----------_ _--______- $9, 741. 73 Gross amount expended ___---------_____----- $8, 350. 00 Less reimbursements collected ---------------------- 19. 61 8, 330. 39 Balance unexpended June 30, 1946 .... 1, 411.34 __383.

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 projects were adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 3, 1896, June 6, 1900, and March 3, 1905. For further details see the Annual Report for 1893, part 4, page 3314, House Document No. 68, Fifty-fourth Con- gress, first session, and the Annual Report for 1938, page 1736. Existing project.--This provides for two high-tide rubble-mound jetties at the entrance, 1,000 feet apart at their outer ends; the north RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2377 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 channelward from the south jetty; insofar as the rock bottom will allow for a channel 26 feet deep and of suitable width across the entrance bar, for a channel 20 feet deep and 300 feet wide from the outer end of the jetties upstream 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; for a channel 18 feet deep and 200 feet wide from the 20-foot channel at about mile 1, along the city docks at Newport, thence upstream to the abandoned railroad terminus at Yaquina, a distance of about 41/2 miles; and for a small- boat mooring basin at Newport, Oreg., by construction of a break- water about 2,650 feet long and a shore wing about 400 feet long, and initial dredging in the mooring basin to a depth of 10 feet. 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 1946 is $2,141,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance dredging in the bay and entrance is $87,500. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for maintenance of the north jetty is $12,000 annually to be applied at intervals of sev- eral years. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of the south jetty. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 14,1880 -------------- For improvement of the entrance __ Annual Report, 1881, p. 2589.

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- 2378 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 re- quired, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvements. The act of July 24, 1946, provides that local interests furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil disposal areas required for the construction of the project and furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will maintain necessary depth in the basin; construct, maintain, and operate necessary depth mooring facilities and utilities within the basin, including a public landing with suitable supply facilities open to all on equal terms; and hold and save the United States free from damages due to the improvement. 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 adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographicsurveys were made during July 1945 and June 1946. Total costs for the fiscal year were $2,173.02, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $2,111.40. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 91 percent 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. The controlling depth is 17 feet on the entrance range and, between the jetties, 20 feet to Newport, and 14 feet to Yaquina. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of dredging the existing channel across the entrance bar, insofar as a rock bot- tom 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, dredging a turning basin 22 feet deep, 1,000 feet wide and 1,200 feet long, and the construction of a small boat mooring basin at Newport, Oreg., by construction of a breakwater about 2,650 feet long and a shore wing about 400 feet long, and initial dredging in the basin to a depth of 10 feet. Total costs under the existing' project from Federal funds have been $2,497,656.84, of which $1,645,589.30 was for new work and $852,067.54 for maintenance. Total expenditures have been $2,497,- 595.22. In addition, $729,168.48 was expended for new work from contributed funds.

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 Fran- cisco Bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 6004.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified in 1886. For further details see page 2967 of Annual Report for 1898, and page 1732 of Annual Report fo; 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a jetty on the north side of the entrance approximately 8,000 feet in length westerly from the high-water line to the sea; for a south jetty extending to a point 1,800 feet south of the outer end of the north jetty; for dredging to provide a usable entrance channel 26 feet deep, and a river channel 22 feet deep and 200 feet wide, from the mouth to Reedsport, a distance of about 11 miles, with a turning basin at Reedsport 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 turning basin 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 1946 is $2,569,000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and $276,500 contributed and $10,000 to be contributed by local interests. The latest 1945 ap- proved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $196,000, including jetty maintenance.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2381 Local cooperation.-Requirementsof 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 Winchester Bay channel, to contribute $10,000 to the first cost and 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, ease- ments, and rights-of-way and spoil-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. Term/inal facilities.-At Gardiner there is approximately 650 feet of wharf frontage, of which 60 feet is publicly owned. At Reedsport there is about 750 feet of usable wharf frontage, all privately owned. The port of Umpqua owns one wharf with 456 feet of water frontage and another with about 75 feet of water frontage which has not been used generally for commercial shipping. The existing terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $4,324.69. Preliminary work in connection with the reconstruction of the south jetty, including surveys and model studies at the United States Waterways Experiment Station at Vicks- burg, Miss., were continued at a cost of $35,210.25. Total costs for the fiscal year were $39,534.94, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $30,226.14. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 96 percent complete. The north jetty was completed in 1930. The extension to the south jetty was completed in 1938 and dredging of a 22-foot chan- nel from the mouth of the river to Reedsport, together with a turning basin at Reedsport, was completed in 1941. The north jetty was re- constructed in 1942 and is in good condition. The south jetty is in fair condition except that about 1,000 feet of its outer end has been beaten down to low water level. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of 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 $3,859,657.64, of which $2,388,706.06 was for new work and $1,470,951.58 for main- tenance. Expenditures have been $3,843,078.01. In addition, $276,500 was expended from contributed funds for new work.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2383 28. 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 Coos Bay, Oreg. (See U. S. Geological Survey, Coos Bay quadrangle.) Existing project.--This provides for snagging and boulder removal in a channel width of 50 feet from the mouth of the river to the head of navigation in both forks, to provide a depth of 3 feet generally and 1 foot near the heads of navigation. The section under improvement includes the mouth and 5 miles of the main river and about 81/2 miles of each fork. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges under ordinary conditions at the mouth of the river are 7.3 and 11 feet, respectively, and there is a tidal range of about 1 foot at the head of navigation in the forks. Freshet stages usually reach a height of from 10 to 15 feet at Allegany, head of navigation on the North Fork. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1898, was $8,000. .The latest (1923) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896 (H. Doc. No. 237, 53d Cong., 3d sess.). The latest pub- lished map is in this document. Terminal facilities.-There are several small privately owned wharves and landing places on the river that are used by small launches. There are no publicly owned wharves. The existing ter- minal facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographicsurveys were made during the year at a cost of $1,017.08. Costs for the fiscal year were $1,017.08 for maintenance; expendi- tures were $1,016.78. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1899. The controlling depth is about 4 feet from the mouth to the forks, and about 3 feet in the north and south forks for a distance of 81/ and 9 miles, respectively. Total costs and expenditures have been $75,259.25, of which $8,000 was for new work and $67,259.25 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $75,258.95.

COOS BAY, OREG. Location.--On the Oregon coast 200 miles south of the mouth of Columbia River and 445 miles north of San Francisco Bay. It is about 13 miles long and 1 mile wide, with an area at high tide of about 15 square miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 5984.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1879, September 19, 1890, and August 18, 1894. For further de- tails see page 1987 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1728 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for two rubble-mound high-tide jetties at the entrance; a channel across the outer bar 40 feet deep at mean lower low water, and of suitable width with dimensions reduced gradually to Guano Rock; a channel 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and generally 300 feet wide thence to the mouth of Isthmus slough; turning basins of the same depth and 1,000 feet long and 600 feet wide opposite Coalbank slough and at the city of North Bend; anchorage basins 600 feet wide by 2,000 feet long at mile 3.5 and near mile 7; and a channel 22 feet deep and 150 feet wide from Smiths mill to Millington. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2385 The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges at the entrance are 7 and about 11 feet, respectively, and at Coos Bay 7.3 and 11 feet, respectively. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $9,810,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $165,000, not including repairs to the jetties.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946, provides that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secre- tary of War that they will: (a) Furnish free of cost to the United States necessary spoil-disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance as and when required; and (b) construct and maintain any additional terminal facilities necessary to the full use of the port, such facilities to be open to all on equal terms. Terminal facilities.-At North Bend there is a municipal wharf 384 feet long fronting on the channel and about 1,400 feet of privately owned mill wharves. At Coos Bay there is one public wharf with a frontage of about 1,000 feet. There are three privately owned and operated oil receiving docks. About 1 mile above Coos Bay there is a sawmill wharf about 1,000 feet in length. These terminals are consid- ered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-A total of 166,685 cubic yards of material was removed from the bar and entrance channel and 161,610 cubic yards of material was removed from the bay channel by United States Government hopper dredges. Hydro- graphic surveys were made by Government plant and hired labor. 2386 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Total costs for the fiscal year were $69,988.70. Expenditures were $54,353.32. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was completed in 1937 except for work authorized in 1946. The south jetty was completed in 1928, the north jetty in 1929, and the channel dredging in 1937. The north jetty was reconstructed in 1940 and the south jetty in 1942. Both jetties are in good condition. At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depth in the entrance channel 300 feet wide was 26 feet over the bar and to Guana Rock. Between the entrance and the head of the bay at Coos Bay the controlling depth was 18 feet in a channel 250 feet wide. In the turning basin at Coos Bay the controlling depth was 23 feet. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of dredging to provide a channel across the outer bar 40 feet deep at mean lower low water, and of suitable width, with dimensions re- duced gradually to Guano Rock; a channel 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and generally 300 feet wide thence to the mouth of Isthmus slough; turning basins of the same depth and 1,000 feet long and 600 feet wide opposite Coalbank slough and at the city of North Bend; anchorage basins 600 feet wide by 2,000 feet long at mile 3.5 and near mile 7. Total costs under the existing project have been $9,699,114.70, of which $4,120,763.51 was for new work and $5,578,351.19 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $9,672,790.28. In addition $11,100 was ex- pended from contributed funds, $2,713.14 for new work, and $8,386.86 for maintenance.

COQUILLE RIVER, OREG. Location.--This river rises in the Coast Range, flows in a general westerly direction for about 100 miles, and empties into the Pacific Ocean at Bandon, Oreg., 225 miles south of the mouth of the Colum- bia River and 420 miles north of San Francisco Bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 5971.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 14, 1880, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1986 of the Annual Report for 1915 and page 1727 of the Annual Report for 1938. Eaisting 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 high- 2388 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 way 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 high water at the mouth is 6.8 feet and the extreme range about 10 feet. The estimate 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 complied with to the extent of removing snags. No channel dredging has been necessary. Terminal facilities.-At Bandon there are two privately owned wharves suitable for handling coastwise vessels. The existing ter- minals are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographic surveys were made during the year. Total costs for the fiscal year were $3,073.09 for maintenance. Expenditures were $2,142.18. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1933. The jetties were completed in 1908 and the entrance channel in 1933. The north jetty was reconstructed in 1942 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 level. A survey of June 1946 shows a controlling depth of 14.5 feet across entrance bar and 10.5 feet between the entrance and Bandon. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $930,223.61 of which $316,640.21 was for new work and $613,583.- 40 for maintenance. Total expenditures have been $929,113.57. In RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2389 addition $72,891.20 was expended from contributed funds for new work.

MILL GREEK, WASH. Location.-NearWalla Walla, Wash., on Mill Creek, a tributary of the Walla Walla River. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for construc- tion of flood-control works consisting of a storage dam, outlet works, diversion works, division structures, and improvement of a stretch of Mill Creek Channel, including the reconstruction of the Otis and Merriam Street Bridges across Mill Creek in the city of Walla Walla, Wash. The storage dam, which will form a reservoir of 6,000 acre-feet capacity, is a rolled earth fill structure 145 feet high, 3,200 feet long at the crest, and 800 feet wide at the base. Flood water is diverted for storage by means of diversion works on Mill Creek consisting of a rolled earth fill dam 1,700 feet long and 20 feet high, with a concrete spillway section and headworks at the left abutment, and a concrete- lined canal leading from the headworks to the storage reservoir. Stored water is subsequently released through outlet works consisting of a steel-lined concrete conduit through the base of the storage dam and a canal 5,900 feet in length from the dam to Mill Creek. The normal flow of water past the diversion works is apportioned, by means of two concrete division structures, to the three delta streams, Yellow- hawk, Garrison, and Mill Creeks. The project will control the entire Mill Creek drainage area of 85 square miles and care for a flood of 11,400 second-feet. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The Flood Control Act ap- proved August 18, 1941, modified the project in accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers in House Document No. 719, Seventy-sixth Congress, third session. The estimated cost, revised in 1944, is $1,654,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies.

S. ARMY, 1946 46. LOOKOUT POINT RESERVOIR (MERIDIAN SITE) WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.-On the Middle Fork Willamette River at Meridian site; 21.3 miles from the mouth. The Middle Fork Willamette River rises in Lane County, on the western slope of the Cascade Range, and flows northwesterly to its junction with Coast Fork, which is the head of the main stem Willamette River. The dam site is approximately 22 miles from Eugene, Oreg. The drainage area tributary to the reser- voir is 991 square miles. Existing project.--The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of an earth and gravel fill dam 250 feet high to be located in the lower canyon of the Middle Fork. The dam will be 3,106 feet long at the crest, with a reservoir providing usable storage at normal pool level of 400,000 acre-feet. The spillway will be a free-overflow side-channel type located on the right abutment of the dam. The outlet works will consist of a 28-foot concrete-lined tunnel, 600 feet long, through the rock abutment, bifurcated at the dam axis into 20- foot steel-lined tunnels. Emergency control will be effected by high head tractor type gates to be located just below the bifurcation. One of the branches will discharge into the spillway stilling basin and will be controlled at the outlet end by four 102-inch Howell-Bunger valves located in a valve house under the spillway. The second branch will discharge into a separate stilling basin and will be controlled by five high-pressure slide gates. This branch ultimately will be used as a power penstock. The reservoir will be operated as a unit of a coor- dinated system to protect Willamette River Valley against floods and to increase the low water flows for navigation and other purposes. This project is a unit of the comprehensive plan for flood control and other purposes in the Willamette River Basin which was authorized by the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938. The estimated cost, revised in 1946, is $37,132,000. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The detailed plans were completed. Spillway stidies and the side channel design were com- pleted. Engineering studies and surveys by contract, for the reloca- tion of the Southern Pacific Railroad around the reservoir were 87 percent completed. Total costs for the fiscal year were $344,433.66 all for new work. Expenditures were $311,671.38. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction work has been done. Material classification and foundation explorations for rail- road structures are partially complete. Preparation of contract plans and specifications have been initiated. Total costs have been $764,317.74. Expenditures have been $730,857.69. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, amounting to $1,104,142.31 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable _ ----------- $33, 460. 05 Engineering general research and preparation of contract plans and specifications, by contract_ 320, 871. 26 Land acouisition ___________________________________ 209, 391. 00 Preparation of plans and specifications for the relocation of the Southern Pacifc Railroad, by contract--------___ 43, 534. 00 FLOOD CONTROL---PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2411 Preparation of plans and specifications for the relocation of 30 miles of road, by contract --------------------------------- ____ $86, 000. 00 Design and preparation of contract plans and specifications for housing at dam site, by contract, July 1946-------------- 30, 000. 00 Drilling and test pits, under contract_----- __------------_ 19, 404. 00 Clearing and stripping dam site, by contract..------------_ 90, 000. 00 Construction of field office and appurtenant facilities, by contract, August 1946 --------------------------------------------- 50, 000. 00 Construction of temporary housing and facilities, by contract, January 1947 --- --- - - --- -- 191, 482. 00 Construction; organization and mobilization (hired labor) 30, 000. 00 Total-------- 1, 104, 142. 31 The additional sum of $9,600,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for construction of the project, as follows: Completion of design and plans and specifications by hired labor -- $160, 000 Land acquisition, including campsite, road and railroad relocation, and portion of reservoir lands ---------------------------------- 640, 000 Road and railroad relocation, by contract -. - - 4, 700, 000 Initiation of construction of earth dam, by contract_---------_ __ 1, 500, 000 Initiation of excavation for outlet works and partial construction, by contract_ --- ------------------ ---------------- 400, 000 Initiation of construction of fish facilities -- 200, 000 Construction of temporary and permanent housing, by contract_ _ 2, 000, 000 Total -- - ---- --- - 9, 600, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1946 $764, 317. 74 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946_-- Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1946-- ------- 764, 317. 74 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1946-- 33, 460. 05 Net total expenditures ------------------------ 730, 857. 69 Unexpended balance June 30, 1946 ------------------------- 1, 104, 142. 31 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1946. - - - 1, 835, 000. 00 Fiscal year ending June 30 1942 1943 1.944 1945 1946 Cost of new work- $4, 257. 53 $2, 508. 59 $147, 524.10 $239, 884. 08 $344, 433. 66 Cost of maintenance . .. - . . ..... . . ....

COTTAGE GROVE RESERVOIR, WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.-On the Coast Fork of Willamette River, 29 miles, from the mouth. The Coast Fork rises in Douglas County, Oreg., on the western slope of the Cascade Range, and the northern slope of the Calapooya Range, flows north for 49 miles, and unites with the Middle Fork to form the main Willamette River. The drainage area tribu- tary to this reservoir is 104 square miles. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for 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 storage 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 sec- tion. The reservoir will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system to protect the Willamette River Valley and to in- crease low water flows for navigation. The existing project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Willamette River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946 is $2,328,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year--New work.-Planning recreational facilities, preparation of plans and specifications for operators' quarters and landscaping was carried on. Maintenance.-Operation of regulating gates, maintenance of structures and grounds, and ordinary repairs were continued during the year. The winter, or flood-control season, was marked by a severe flood that peaked on December 28. Reservoir inflow was computed to amount to 10,000 cubic feet per second. Controlled' discharge, while somewhat higher than that proposed in the reservoir regulation manual, was held to nondamaging stages, and the town of Cottage Grove was saved a very damaging flood. Additional small freshets which occurred later in the season were fully controlled. Controlled discharge through most of September was maintained at slightly less than 500 cubic feet per second, and through October at slightly more than 100 cubic feet per second. Total storage was near the minimum pool at the end of October. Seasonal filling of the reservoir was initiated on February 1, as scheduled. However, because of abnormally low rainfall during late March and April, a full reservoir was not obtained until late May. FLOOD CONTROL-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2413 The reservoir was full and at the end of the year the normal flow which was more than adequate to existing water rights was being passed over the spillway. Total costs for the fiscal year were $18,929.01, of which $5,238.12 was for new work and $13,690.89 for maintenance, all from regular funds. Expenditures were $19,988.06. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the dam and ap- purtenant works was completed in 1942 and the dam has been in con- tinuous operation since that time. The project as a whole has been completed except for minor items and the planning and construction of recreational facilities. Total costs have been $2,307,865.29, of which $2,237,106.97 was for new work and $70,758.32 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $2,309,105.53.

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. FLOOD CONTROI--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2417 Emisting project.-The plan of improvement provides for construc- tion 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 auto- matic radial gates. Outlet works are located in the spillway struc- ture. The project includes rectification 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 Willamette River Valley generally and to in- crease low water flows for navigation. The existing. project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Willamette River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946 is $4,232,500. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year-New work.-The Long Tom channel improvement work was completed except for the con- struction of an overflow spillway, a drainage spillway, the construc- tion of stabilizers and some revetment work. The channel was main- tained during construction. Maintenance.-Operation of the spillway gates, maintenance of structures and grounds, and ordinary repair were continued during the year. The season's most severe flood occurred on December 29, on which date peak reservoir inflow is computed to have been 14,000 cubic feet per second. Controlled discharges were slightly in excess of those authorized in the reservoir regulation manual but the evacuation channel was patrolled and the stages were maintained at nondamaging levels. (The regulation manual has since been revised and provision has been made for a maximum controlled stage instead of a maximum controlled discharge). Subsequent freshets were fully controlled. On September 25, seasonal depletion was initiated by a gradual in- crease in controlled discharge, which reached slightly more than 700 cubic feet per second at the end of the month. Controlled discharge varied generally between 500 and 1,600 cubic feet per second, according to demand, until the minimum pool elevation was obtained on Novem- ber 10. Seasonal filling of the reservoir was initiated on February 1 as scheduled, and was maintained at the prescribed rate for as long as inflow was adequate. Total storage at the end of the year amounted to 92,000 acre-feet; 10,000 acre-feet less than capacity at the normal pool elevation. Controlled discharge was maintained in amounts equal to existing water rights. Total costs for the fiscal year were $265,640.37, of which $246,563.27 was for new work and $19,077.10 for maintenance. Expenditures were $326,951.54. 2418 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the dam and ap- purtenant works was completed in 1942 and the dam and reservoir have been in continuous operation since that time. The ;Long Tom River channel improvement, except for the construction of two addi- tional spillway structures, stabilizers and some revetment work is com- pleted and in operation. Construction of operator's quarters, land- scaping, and completion of Long Tom channel work remain to complete the project. Total costs have been $4,128,904.12, of which $4,043,817.69 was for new work and $85,086.43 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $4,120,681.

DETROIT RESERVOIR, WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.-On North Santiam River, with dam site 60 miles from the mouth. North Santiam River rises in Marion and Linn Counties, Oreg., on the western slope of the Cascade Range, flows north and west for 85 miles, and unites with South Santiam River to form Santiam River, which, 10 miles downstream, enters Willamette River 108 miles above its mouth. The drainage area tributary to this reservoir is 438 square miles. 2420 REPORTOF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a dam with provisions for future power generating fa- cilities. The dam will be of the concrete gravity type 370feet in height, from river to normal pool level at elevation 1,569, and approxi- mately 1,580 feet in length. The spillway will be an overfall section in the dam controlled by radial gates. The outlet works will consist of needle valve and ring seal gate controlled conduits through the dam. The future powerhouse site will be located on the right bank immediately downstream from the dam. The reservoir will have a usable capacity of 322,000 acre-feet. It will be operated as a unit in the coordinated reservoir system to protect the Willamette Valley from floods, to increase low-water flows in the interests of navigation, and for other purposes. The project is a unit of the comprehensive plan for flood-control and other purposes in the Willamette Basin which was approved by the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938. The estimated cost, re- vised in 1946, is $35,697,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operationsand results during fscal year.-Contractplans agd speci- fications for the dam were completed. Hydraulic and power model studies were underway and approximately 80 percent completed. Contract plans for the relocation of North Santiam Highway were completed. Studies and investigations in regard to future power facilities were continued. Total costs for the fiscal year were $146,728.18, all for new work. Expenditures were $139,068.22. Condition at end of the fiscal year.-No construction work has been done. Core drilling and other foundation work and field surveys have been completed. An intensive investigation as to possible sources of concrete aggregates has been made.

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 jetties, the easterly, 951 feet long, and the westerly, not exceeding 676 feet long, at the mouth of Snake River; and a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water and 75 feet wide 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, but water levels are influenced more by wind than tide. Levels of 5 feet below mean lower low water have been observed dur- ing offshore winds, and a level of 14 feet above mean lower low water has 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 maintenance 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 har- bor 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 long. Aug. 30,1935 Extension of the jetties and basin--------------................. H. Doe. No. 404, 71st Cong., 2d sess., and Rivers and Harbors Committee Doe. 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 furnished evidence, accepted by the Secretary of War on December 22, 1917, that it would contribute $2,500 annually toward the maintenance 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. Terminal facilities.-Cargoesand passengers from ocean vessels 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2449 Operations and results during fiscal year.--Dredging totaling 44,750 cubic yards was accomplished at a cost of $41,396.81, and revet- ment repairs were carried on at a cost of $9,187.85, by Government plant and hired labor, July to October 1945, and May and June 1946. The total costs were $50,584.66, including $48,084.66 from Federal funds and $2,500 from contributed funds, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $43,038.60 from Federal funds and $2,500 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was 50 percent com- plete. Construction of the original 335- and 460-foot jetties and the revetments was commenced in 1919 and completed in 1923. Recon- struction of the jetties with concrete to modified lengths of 240 and 400 feet was completed in 1940. Dredging of the channel and the original 200- by 250-foot basin was commenced in 1919 and com- pleted in 1922. A severe storm in October 1945 destroyed 200 feet of the north revetment and badly damaged 130 feet of the south revetment. Undamaged timber revetments show progressive dete- rioration, rough spots are in evidence on the south jetty, and erosion of the beach is occurring shoreward of that structure. Controlling depths in June 1946 were 6.5 feet over the bar, 3.5 feet in the channel, and 4 to 8 feet in the improved part of the turning basin, all at mean lower low water. 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, 1946, have been $272,- 950.13 for new work and $713,455.95 for maintenance, a total of $986,406.08, and the expenditures have been $985,095.35. In addition, $60,000 has been expended from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The Federal funds unexpended June 30, 1946, $155,051.42, will be applied to maintenance by Government plant and hired labor as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1946_ --------- _ _ __ $3, 360. 68 Maintenance dredging, U.

SKAGWAY HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-Skagway Harbor is in southeastern Alaska at the mouth of Skagway River which flows into the head of Taiya Inlet (an arm of Lynn Canal) 1,100 miles north of Seattle and 94 miles northwest of Juneau. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8202 and 8303.) Existing project.-This provides for a rock, brush, and earth train- ing 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 pro- longation 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 2452 REPORT O1 CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 1946, is $87,200. 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.----------------HH. 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 1Contains latest map (not published). Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of April 19, 1946, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide for restoration of existing breakwater and construction of extension thereto, and reconstruction of dike, all at a cost of $438,000 for new work and $10,000 annually for mainte- nance in addition to that now required, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Rep. No. 2165, 79th Cong., 2d sess.). Local cooperation.-The act of June 20, 1938, requires local interests 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 completion. 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 assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will hold and save the United States free from claims for damages due to construction and maintenance of the work, construct and agree to maintain a break- water 200 feet long for protection of the basin 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 Govern- ment and used in connection with military operations. 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 80 percent 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; this damage has not been repaired. RIVERS AND HARBORS--SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2453 The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is the dredging at the wharf and in the small-boat basin. 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 operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1947. The sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended on new work during the fiscal year 1948 by dredging at the wharf and in the small-boat basin to complete the project.

GASTINEAU CHANNEL, ALASKA Location.-Gastineau Channel is a strait in southeastern Alaska, extending in a northwesterly direction from Stephens Passage to Fritz Cove. It is approximately 16 miles long and separates Douglas Island from the mainland. Juneau, the capital of Alaska, is located about midway of its length on the mainland shore. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8235.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel from Juneau to Fritz Cove, approximately 41/2 miles long, 75 feet wide, with the bottom at the elevation of mean lower low water. The diurnal tidal range at Juneau is 16.6 feet, and the extreme range is 26.4 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1946, is $547,000. The latest approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, made in 1941, is $8,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 325, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-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 improvement and for subse- quent maintenance, when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the im- provement. Notification of these requirements will be made and compliance therewith obtained prior to construction. Terminal facilities.-The terminal facilities at Juneau and Douglas, the only ports on the channel, consist of 12 wharves and 5 floats at Juneau, and 1 wharf at Douglas. Three privately operated wharves at Juneau are open for public use. Two of these are passenger and general cargo terminals, and the other is a cold-storage terminal. An extensive system of publicly owned floats installed in the small- 2454 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 boat basin at Juneau provides sheltered moorage for the protection and servicing of numerous small commercial fishing vessels. These facilities are considered adequate for present traffic. 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 operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1947. The sum of $547,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for new work, dredging the chanel under contract to com- plete the project.

WRANGELL NARROWS, ALASKA Location.-Wrangell Narrows lies to the west of Mitkof Island, connects Sumner Strait with Frederick Sound, and forms a part of the inside water route from Puget Sound to southeastern Alaska. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8170 and 8201.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 300 feet wide and 24 feet deep at mean lower low water, with improvement of the aline- ment of the original 200- by 21-foot channel; an anchorage basin adjacent to the channel in the vicinity of mile 14, 500 yards long, 200 yards wide, and 26 feet deep; a 27-foot depth at Petersburg bar (shoal No. 2); easing curves at four shoals; removing a rock pinnacle oppo- site Anchor Point; removing five small rock pinnacles in towing channel. The extreme tidal range is about 24 feet at the northern end of the narrows. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 16.4 feet at the northern end, 16.7 feet midway of the narrows, and 15.7 feet at the southern end. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $3,995,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $6,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2455 Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1925 Original channel 21 feet deep and 200 feet wide H.

Terminal facilities.-The terminal facilities at Petersburg, the only port in the narrows, include seven wharves and one float. One pri- vately owned and operated wharf which serves as a passenger, general cargo, and cold-storage terminal is open for public use. A publicly owned float is open for public use for mooring and servicing small craft. All of the other wharves are used for industrial purposes excepting one which is not in use. These facilities are adequate for the vessels benefitted by the improvement of Wrangell Narrows. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A condition survey of the existing channel was completed at a cdst of $6,419.21, all for main- tenance. Preparation of definite project, and plans and specifications for additional dredging, was commenced at a cost of $886.96, all for new work. The total costs were $7,306.17. The expenditures were $6,290.75. C'ondition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 18 percent complete. The original dredging was completed in 1934. A survey made in February 1946 showed a controlling depth of 18 feet within the limits of the present channel. The work remaining to be done is to widen the present channel to 300 feet along an improved alinement, deepen it to 24 feet, and dredge an anchorage basin. The total costs were $590,594.63 for new work, including $136,736.74 from Public Works funds, and $209,099.18 for maintenance, a total of $799,693.81. The expenditures have been $798,678.39. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, $500,- 709.25, will be applied to accounts payable, $1,015.42, and to com- mencement of the additional dredging authorized by the act of March 2, 1945. The additional sum of $735,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 as follows: New work: Continue dredging under contract, to provide channel 24 feet deep and 300 feet wide------- - ------- $700, 000 Maintenance: Dredging under contract, to remove shoals encompassed within the limits of the new channel alinement-_____._.__ 35, 000 Total---------------------------------------------------735, 000 2456 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 main- land approximately 3 miles north of Wrangell. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8201.) Emisting project.-This provides for snagging of the Stikine River from its mouth to the Canadian border, a distance of approximately 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 25 feet. The latest (1939) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance 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.-Nonerequired. Operations and results during fiscal year.-There were no costs. Expenditures were $504.52 for maintenance. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2457 Candition at end of fiscal year.--High-water conditions made snag- ging unnecessary during the fiscal year. The costs and expenditures have been $4,757.10, all for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, $2,392.90, will be applied to maintenance, removing snags between the mouth of the river and the Canadian border, by contract. The additional sum of $900 can be profitably expended for similar work during the fiscal year 1948. Terminal facilities.-There are no terminal facilities along the Alas- kan portion of the river. Vessels operating on the Stikine River are dependent on the terminal facilities at Wrangell Harbor. These con- sist 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 facili- ties. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce.

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.-Projectadopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882, contemplated clearing and maintaining the naviga- ble portions of the Skagit, Stillaguamish, Nooksack, Snohomish, and Snoqualmie Rivers,Wash., free from snags, debris, and drift, by means 2458 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 of a shallow-draft stern-wheel snag boat constructed for this purpose. 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 its tributary waters by snagging and dredging. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $75,000. 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.) Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.-The terminal facilities at the numerous locali- ties on Puget Sound and its tributary waters are, in general, considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. snag boat W.

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, 1946, have been $43,336.92 for new work and $1,115,940.66 for maintenance, a total of $1,159,277.58. The total expenditures have been $1,155,964.38. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, $78,125.49, will be applied to accounts payable, $3,313.20, and to main- tenance by operation of the U. S. snag boat W. T.

BELLINGHAM HARBOR, WASH. Location.-This harbor is a part of Bellingham Bay, an arm of Puget Sound, about 18 miles south of the international boundary and about 100 miles north of Seattle. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey Chart No. 6378.) Previous projects.-The original project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902, contemplated dredging Whatcom Creek waterway to a depth of 12 feet and 200 feet wide from deep water to the railroad bridge, a distance of 1,200 feet, and to its full width (363.2 feet) above the bridge, an additional distance of 1,950 feet. For further details see page 2006 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1888 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for (a) dredging a channel known as the Whatcom Creek waterway fron deep water to the head of the harbor, 363.2 feet wide, 26 feet deep at mean lower low water for the outer 3,800 feet and 18 feet deep for the inner 1,300 feet; (b) for Squalicum Creek waterway, including dredging an entrance channel, 200 feet wide and 26 feet deep from deep water in the bay to the main pierhead line, maintenance of the southerly half and westerly end of the Squalicum Creek Basin to a depth of 26 feet at mean lower low water, and maintenance of the breakwater constructed by the port of 721584---47---pt. 1, vol. 2- 71 2460 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Bellingham in 1934 to a crest height of 14 feet, provided that no dredg- ing be done within 75 feet of wharves, piers, or similar structures. The extreme tidal range is about 16 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.6 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1913, was $81,782 for Whatcom Creek waterway and $25,000 (made in 1927) for Squalicum Creek waterway, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000 (1928) for Whatcom Creek waterway, and $2,500 (1937) for Squali- cum Creek waterway. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 For the Whatcom Creek waterway------------ H. Doc.

I Contains latest published map of Whatcom Creek waterway. 2Contains latest published map of Squalicum Creek waterway. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. In addition, the port of Bellingham in November and December 1945 improved approximately 1,200 feet of the Squalicum Creek breakwater constructed in 1934, by adding stone to raise its crest to elevation + 18 feet; by adding two contact pile wings to the westerly end, one extending 240 feet in a southwesterly direction and the other extending 350 feet in a south- easterly direction; and by extending the easterly end 350 feet in a southeasterly direction with contact piling and stone, and an addi- tional 200 feet in an easterly direction with contact piling only. The costs were $11,550, all from port funds. Terminal facilities.-There are 20 wharves and piers in Bellingham Harbor--8 are located on Whatcom Creek waterway, 4 on Squalicum Creek waterway, and 8 on Bellingham Bay. Three wharves on What- com Creek waterway serve general cargo terminals. One of these, which is publicly owned and operated, is suitable for use by ocean- going vessels; the other two are privately owned and operated and serve vessels in the Puget Sound trade. The 4 wharves on Squalicum Creek waterway are publicly owned and privately operated; these and the remaining 13 are used for various industrial purposes. These terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Condition surveys were completed at a cost of $1,300.75, all for maintenance. The expendi- tures were $1,849.07. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1931. The dredging of Whatcom Creek waterway was completed in 1913. The dredging of the entrance channel in Squalicum Creek waterway was completed in 1931, and local interests have since dredged the southerly half and westerly end of Squalicum Creek Basin, and in RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2461 1934 constructed a detached rubble breakwater 1,500 feet long south of the basin. This structure was raised and extended in 1945. (See "Local cooperation".) The controlling depths in May 1946 were as follows: Outer 3,800 feet of Whatcom Creek waterway, 24.4 feet except near the edges; inner 1,300 feet, 17.7 feet except near the edges and at the head of the waterway; Squalicum Creek waterway, 25 feet over a width of 200 feet in the entrance channel and 23 feet in the basin except near the edges. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1946, have been $112,013.16 for new work and $68,127.07 for maintenance, a total of $180,140.23. The expenditures have been $180,688.55. Proposed operations.-Fundsunexpended June 30, 1946, $1,150.93, together with accounts receivable, $581.69, will be applied to accounts payable, $33.37, and to condition surveys incurred in May 1946. The additional sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for maintenance dredging by contract in Squahlicum Creek and Whatcom Creek waterways during June 1948.

S. ARMY, 1946 8. SWINOMISH SLOUGH, WASH. Location.-This is an inland passage, 11 miles long, between Sara- toga Passage and Padilla Bay, in the northwestern part of the State of Washington, about 60 miles north of Seattle. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6300, 6370, 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 Saratoga Passage to deep water in Padilla Bay, a distance of 11 miles, by dredg- ing 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.-Underthe provisions of the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, adopting the project for the 12-foot channel, local interests were required to furnish free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material during initial con- struction and for future maintenance as and when needed. Compli- ance 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.--Repair of the timber dike at the Hole-in-the-Wall was completed by the snag boat W. T. Preston at a cost of $1,276.93; and the dike connecting Goat and McGlinn Islands was repaired by placing 38,812 tons of stone under contract at a cost of $60,847.49. Condition surveys and dredging specifications were completed at a cost of $7,055.25. The total' costs were $69,179.67, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $69,079.81. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1937. The dikes are in good condition. In 1945, the controlling depth within the dredged channel was + 0.9 foot, but a least depth of 6 feet was available by utilizing a natural channel just outside of the RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2463 controlling shoal. The costs to June 30, 1946, have been $409,029.51 for new work and $402,047.32 for maintenance, a total of $811,076.83. The expenditures have been $810,976.97. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, $190,- 931.94, will be applied to accounts payable, $99.86, to remaining office costs on completed contract operations, and to maintenance dredging, under contract, September to December 1946.

SKAGIT RIVER, WASH. Location.-The Skagit River rises in the Cascade Mountains in British Columbia, flows in a southwesterly direction, and empties into Skagit Bay and Puget Sound through its North and South Forks and 2466 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 other minor distributary channels about 50 miles north of Seattle. It is about 150 miles long, of which 130 miles is in the United States. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6300.) Previous projects.-The removal of snags and other obstructions in the river was undertaken in 1880 under an appropriation made by the River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details, see page 2006 of the Annual Report for 1915. Since 1882, this work has been continued under the general appropriation for the improvement of Puget Sound and its tributary waters. Existing project.--This provides for obtaining a reliable channel of entrance through the delta by the construction of a dike at the mouth of the South Fork, regulating dikes and mattress sill near the head of North Fork, and closing subsidiary channels at the delta; and for increasing the available depth at Skagit City bar by combined dredg- ing operations and training walls. The length of the section included in the project is 91/2 miles. The extreme tidal range at the mouth of the river is 20.5 feet; the range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.4 feet. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1925, is $217,000, in- cluding $45,000 for Skagit City bar and $172,000 for the improve- ments at the mouth of the river, exclusive of amount expended under previous project. The latest (1908) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 June 25,1910 Channel of entrance through the delta ----------.. H. Doe. No. 1188, 60th Cong., 2d sess. Mar. 2,1919 Improvement of Skagit City bar ---------------........... H. Doc. No. 935, 63d Cong., 2d sess. 1 For latest published map, see H. Doc. No. 311, 70th Cong., 1st sess. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919, adopting the project for improvement of Skagit City bar, provided: That before work on this project is commenced the report shall be referred to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors for review as to whether the project should be modified to meet existing conditions or whether conditions of local cooperation should be imposed. The review of this report is published in House Document No. 591, Sixty-sixth Congress, second session, in which the estimate for Skagit City bar is increased from $30,000 to $45,000, and in which it is recommended that no work be done until local interests assume respon- sibility for the payment of all damages claimed or alleged to result from any work that may be done under this project. No action has been taken by local interests to assume this responsibility. Terminal facilities.-There are five wharves at Mount Vernon, all privately owned and operated. One is open for public use as a gen- eral cargo terminal. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2467 Operations and results during fiscal year.-A condition survey of the jetty, closing dikes, and the mattress sill at the head of Freshwater slough was completed at a cost of $5,266.22, all for maintainance. The expenditures were $5,111.88. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 46 percent complete. Construction of the mattress sill and closing dikes, and of the training dike to a length of 10,450 feet, was completed in 1911. In 1945, all completed features were in very poor condition. The controlling elevation of the flats at the mouth of the South Fork is about 2.5 feet above mean lower low water and the controlling depth at low tide depends on river stage, probably not exceeding 1 foot during periods of minimum flow. The costs from Federal funds to June 30, 1946, have been $99,829.80 for new work and $34,524.03 for maintenance, a total of $134,353.83. The expenditures have been $134,199.49. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to increase the depth at Skagit City bar by combined dredging operations and training walls, and extend the training dike 5,550 feet to its author- ized length of 16,000 feet. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, $888.12, will be applied to accounts payable, $154.34, and to comple- tion of studies to determine the feasibility of restoring existing struc- tures with the view of increasing navigable depths. No additional funds are required for the fiscal year 1948, as no operations are proposed.

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 Stanwood through South Pass to Port Susan, a distance of approximately 21/2 miles. The diurnal tidal range in Port Susan is 11.2 feet and the ex- treme range is about 19 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1946, is $118,000 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 docu- ment contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.-There are two wharves at Stanwood, Wash., which are suitable for use by vessels of light draft. Before the sus- pension of navigation, one of these privately owned and operated, was open for public use as a general cargo terminal. 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 operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1947. The sum of $118,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for new work, dredging of channel from Port Susan to Stanwood, 3 months, November 1947 to January 1948.

(See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6448.) Previous project. The original project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894, provided for a basin in front of the Everett Peninsula, for a channel from the end of the basin around the peninsula to the head of Old River, and for a dike from the lower end of Smith Island to the south end of the basin. By authority of joint resolution of Congress approved April 23, 1902, the work in Old River was discontinued. The project was further modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905, to provide for survey of Everett Harbor with a view to the extension of the dike and of the dredged area. For further details, see page 704 of Annual Report for 1905, page 2005 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1883 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a training dike in the upper harbor extending from Smith Island to a point opposite Twenty-third Street, with a gap of suitable width at the outlet of Snohomish River Channel and spur dikes to regulate the flow through the gap; for a channel shoreward of the training dike, between the outlet of the main river channel and deep water in the lower harbor, 100 feet wide and 8 feet deep at low water; for a settling basin with a capacity of about 200,000 cubic yards, 1,200 feet long, 700 feet wide, and 12 feet deep at mean lower low water, in the upper harbor in the vicinity of the Fourteenth Street dock; and for a channel throughout that portion of the lower harbor known as east waterway 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and generally 900 feet wide. The length of channel improvement under this project is 2.5 miles. The extreme tidal range is about 19 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.1 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938, was $338,246, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1938) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance of the entire project is $16,000.

Terminal facilities.-There are 28 wharves and piers on Everett Harbor and Snohomish River-16 are located on Port Gardner Bay, 6 on the channel to the gap, and 6 on Snohomish River. Nine wharves are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels; all of these are located on Port Gardner Bay and east waterway channel, one 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.-Conditionsurveys were completed at a cost of $1,487.84, all for maintenance. The expendi- tures were $749.14. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1940. Dike work was commenced in September 1911 and termi- nated in September 1912, and 6,000 feet of 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 outlet and the lower harbor was dredged to 8 feet in 1931 and the settling basin was completed in 1940. Dredging of east waterway has been completed by local interests. Controlling depths when last ascertained (1946) were 9.3 feet in the channel from the lower harbor to the settling basin, 3.8 to 15.7 feet in the settling basin, + 1.7 feet in the channel from the settling basin to the gap in the dike, and 30 feet in east waterway, except over several small shoals in the southerly end with least depths rang- ing from 30 feet to 27.2 feet. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1946, have been $325,968.16 for new work and $160,505.07 for maintenance, a total of $486,473.23. The expenditures have been $486,473.23. Proposed operations.--The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, $8,005.89, will be applied to condition surveys during May 1947, $4,000, leaving a balance available of $4,005.89. The additional sum of $100,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for maintenance dredging in the settling basin and in the channel between the settling basin and the gap in the dike, by contract during August, September, and October 1947.

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. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1942, is $80,000. The latest (1942) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance 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. Doc.

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 stationm These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Partial restoration of the dike was accomplished by placing 1,520 cubic yards of rock during August and September 1945, by hired labor, at a cost of $12,681.73. The expenditures were $12,535.52, all for maintenance. 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 2474 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 be 3.3 feet over a width of 50 feet. The total costs from regular funds to June 30, 1946, have been $68,000 for new work and $84,558.18 for maintenance, a total of $152,558.18. The expenditures have been $152,411.97. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, $15,449.33, will be applied to accounts payable, $146.21, and to restora- tion of the dike and jetty at mouth of river, by Government plant and hired labor during August 1946 and June 1947.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. 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 four that serve for mooring and servicing vessels are open for public use; all of the former and three of the latter are publicly owned. Other publicly owned wharves are two used by the harbor patrol, one used by the United States Coast Guard, one used by the United States Engineer Department, and one 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 completed by hired labor included reconditioning and installing two large lock valves, roller trains and guides, procurement of parts for the large and small locks machinery, and reconditioning of small lock culvert valves and cul- vert intake screens. Contract operations were completed on recon- struction of guide piers, extension of water mains, and construction of new pavements at the lock site. The costs were $299,499.39, all for operations and care. The expenditures were $334,639.50. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1934. The water between the locks and Lake Washington is non- tidal and is maintained between elevations 20 feet and 22 feet above RIVERS AND HARBORS SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2477 mean lower low water in Puget Sound. The controlling 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, show con- tinued need for improvement and reconstruction. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1946, have been $3,539,294.87 for new work, including $192,516.44 Public Works funds, $108,379.38 for maintenance, and $1,719,634.54 for operation and care, a total of $5,367,308.79. The expenditures have been $5,364,971.10. In addition, the sum of $1,631,195.33 was expended between 1916 and 1936 on the operating care of the works of improvement, under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. In addition, there was expended by the State of Washington $246,- 567.07, and by King County, $742,070.51 in the excavation of the channel above th'e locks and in construction of concrete revetment at the portage.

Fifty-two are located on Elliott Bay, 19 on east water- way, 15 on west waterway, 8 on Duwamish waterway, and 3 on Puget Sound near the northern limits of the port. Of these, 19 general cargo terminals and 1 grain terminal are open for public use; 7 of the former and the latter are publicly owned. The remaining 77 serve various industrial purposes, with the exception of 9 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. Surveys and dredging specifications were completed at a cost of $4,673.79, all for mainte- nance; the expenditures were $4,684.02. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1931, except the settling basin. The controlling depths in west and east waterways when last ascertained were as follows: West water- way, 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 Isaac- son Iron Works, over which the least depths were 33.2 feet and 30.4 feet, respectively, and except in the southerly 1,500 feet of the water- way, in December 1945 and January 1946. The controlling dimen- sions in 'Duwamish waterway were as follows: 27.8 feet by 160 feet from the head of west waterway to First Avenue South; 18.1 feet by 120 feet from First Avenue South to Eighth Avenue South; 13.1 feet' by 150 feet from Eighth Avenue South to Fourteenth Avenue South in January 1946; and 15 by 100 feet from Fourteenth Avenue South to the head of the waterway in June 1945.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2481 19. TACOMA HARBOR, WASH. Location.-This harbor is 30 miles south of Seattle and embraces Commencement Bay and tributary waterways. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6451.) Previous project.-The project for the Puyallup waterway, provid- ing for a channel 500 feet wide, 32 feet deep, and 3,650 feet long, was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905; sus- pended by the act of June 25, 1910; and abandoned by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935. For further details see pages 1372 to 1376 of Annual Report for 1934, and page 1875 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for (a) a City waterway having a channel 500 feet wide and 29 feet deep at mean lower low water from deep water in Commencement Bay to the Eleventh Street Bridge, 500 feet wide and 22 feet deep to the Fourteenth Street Bridge, and varying from 500 to 250 feet wide and 19 feet deep from the Fourteenth Street Bridge to the end of this waterway, a total length of 8,500 feet; (b) for a channel in Hylebos waterway 200 feet wide and 30 feet deep from Commencement Bay to the bend below Lincoln Avenue, thence 150 feet wide and 30 feet deep to a turning basin of the same depth, 410 feet wide and 900 feet average length; (c) construction of two training walls, each about 700 feet long, at the mouth of Puyallup River; and (d) dredging to a depth of 30 feet, an area in the Wapato waterway, not nearer than 50 feet from established pierhead lines or lateral limits of the waterway, nor 100 feet from the'northerly line of East Eleventh Street. The extreme tidal range is about 20 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.8 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $574,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, and exclusive of $40,000 to be contributed by local interests for dredging Wapato waterway. The latest approved estimates for annual cost of maintenance are as follows: City waterway (1928), $5,000; Hylebos waterway (1937), $2,000; Wapato waterway (1938), $1,000; Puyallup River training walls (1933), $2,500.

Terminal facilities.-There are 67 wharves and piers on Tacoma Harbor. Twenty-one are located on Commencement Bay, 25 on city waterway, 4 on middle waterway, 4 on Milwaukee waterway, 5 on Wapato waterway, and 8 on Hylebos waterway. Thirty-nine of the wharves with 26,330 feet of berthing space are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels; of these, six serving general cargo terminals and one serving a grain elevator are open for public use; two of the former and the latter are publicly owned. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Surveys and dredging specifications were completed at a cost of $2,868.84, all for mainte- nance. The expenditures were $9,165.14. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 74 percent complete. City waterway was completed in 1905. The costs have been $150,018.58 for new work and $149,526.83 for maintenance, a total of $299,545.41, 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 Julie 1945, were as follows: 27.5 feet from Commencement Bay to South Eleventh Street, 21.1 feet from South Eleventh Street to South Fourteenth Street, and 16.1 feet from South Fourteenth Street to the head of the waterway. Hylebos waterway was completed in 1939. The costs have been $212,501.60 for new work and $12,276.77 for maintenance, a total of $224,778.37. A survey completed in November 1945 showed depths as follows: 29.7 feet over a width of 200 feet from deep water in Com- mencement Bay to East Eleventh Street, 26.4 feet over a midchannel width of 150 feet from East Eleventh Street to bend below Lincoln Avenue, and 23.8 feet by 150 feet above Lincoln Avenue, with a least depth in the turning basin, except near the edges, of 27.1 feet. The two training walls at the mouth of Puyallup River were com- pleted in 1934 at a cost of $51,609.12, all for new work, and main- tenance costs, all for surveys, have been $1,756.29, a total of $53,365.41. On April 4, 1943, a slide destroyed the east training wall. The depth at its outer end is now 78 feet. The west wall is 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 extended southerly along the easterly margin of the waterway. The waterway is now being improved by the United States Navy for mooring inactivated ships. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is to dredge all of Wapato waterway to a depth of 30 feet.

Notification of these terms will be made and compliance obtained prior to construction. Terminal facilities.-There are six wharves and piers on Olympia Harbor. Two serve general cargo terminals that are open for public use; one of these, which is publicly owned and operated, is located on the improved channel and has sufficient depths alongside to accom- modate oceangoing vessels; the other, privately owned and operated, is used by vessels in the Puget Sound trade. The remainder are used for various industrial purposes. These facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 83 percent complete. The channel and basin were completed to present dimen- sions in 1939. In 1944, controlling depths in the completed sections were as follows: 28.3 feet in the outer channel; 29.1 feet and 27.2 feet, respectively, in the west and east halves of the entrance channel; and 27.5 feet in the turning basin. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to widen the entrance channel and enlarge the turning basin. The costs and expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1946, have been $259,919.33 for new work, including $105,- 467 Public Works funds and $1,818.06 for maintenance, a total of $261.737.39. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, $4,000, will be applied to condition surveys in April 1947. The additional sum of $217,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948, as follows: New work: Enlarging the entrance channel and turning basin by dredging, under contract, during April and May 1948------------$187, 000 Maintenance: Dredging by contract in the entrance channel and turn- ing basin during April and May 1948--_ ------- ----- - - - 30, 000 Total ----------------------- -------------- ----- - 217, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1946-------------------------- $443, 175. 85 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1946------------------- 16, 235. 93 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1946-_ -__ 459, 411. 78 Net total expenditures ----------. ------ ----- 459, 411. 78 Unexpended balance June 30, 1946 .------------------ ---------- 4, 000. 00 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1946_ 463, 411. 78 Fiscal year ending June 30 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 Cost of new work. .-- . .---....----------------.- ----------- -------------------------- Cost of maintenance------------------------- --------------------------- $1,748.21----------- Total expended......--------..........---- ----------------- --------------------------- 1, 748.21 ---- Allotted-......----....----------------...-------------- ----------.... ------- 1, 748. 21 $4, 000 2486 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

GRAYS HARBOR AND CHEHALIS RIVER, WASH. Location.-Grays Harbor lies at the mouth of Chehalis River, in 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 south- western 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 Geo- detic Survey Chart No. 6195.) Previous projects.-The original project for the Chehalis River adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882, provided for removal of log jams and for annual snagging. The original project for the inner harbor, adopted by the River and Harbor Act. of July 13, 1892, provided for improvement of north channel, by constructing a dike across middle channel and head of south channel; and improving Chehalis River from Grays Harbor to Montesano by dredging a channel 16 feet deep and 200 feet wide and by diking across five sloughs. For further details see pages 2002-2003 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1863 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.--This provides for an entrance channel across the bar 600 feet wide and 30 feet deep, to be secured by a south jetty 13,734 feet long and a north jetty 16,000 feet long, both at an eleva- tion of 16 feet above mean lower low water and by dredging; for maintenance of a channel 30 feet deep at mean lower low water andc 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 Che- halis 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 p)revious 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 Com- mission terminal, but inclusive of $211,500 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2487 maintenance dredging ;n the section below Aberdeen is $270,000, Local interests are to maintain the work above Aberdeen.

Grays Harbor Commission terminal, which was deepened from 26 to 30 feet with Navy funds. 1Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, adopting the 16-foot channel, provides that local interests contribute one-half the first cost, estimated at $211,500, and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War and Chief of Engineers that they will assume the entire cost of maintenance of same and provide a suit- able public terminal at Montesano. These assurances have been given and $35,834.27 contributed, which was expended in 1931 with an equal amount of Government funds in securing a 12-foot channel to Mon- tesano, the remaining contribution necessary to complete the project being deferred until a later date, as approved by the Secretary of War, March 18, 1931. The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, continues the re- quirement that local interests shall pay one-half the first cost of enlarging the channel between Cosmopolis and Montesano, and further provides that the Grays Harbor Port Commission shall con- tinue to remove all snags and deadheads from the channels, shall fur- nish 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 2488 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Railroad bridge at Aberdeen. These conditions have been met as required to cover current needs. With Navy funds, the 26-foot channel was deepened to 30 feet, and widened to 350 feet in the narrow section, from the port terminal to deep water, at a cost of $162,000. Terminal facilities.-There are 28 wharves and piers on Grays Harbor and adjacent inland waters: 1 general cargo terminal, 9 saw- mill wharves. I pulp- and paper-mill wharf, 7 fish wharves, 8 mis- cellaneous industrial wharves, and 2 not in use. One general cargo wharf and 2 fish wharves are publicly owned and open to public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Under regular appro- priations, surveys were made by the U. S. survey boat Mamala at a cost of $16,044.19, and dredging was done in the 30-foot channel below Aberdeen; including 91,658 cubic yards removed from the Cross-Over channel and 86,594 cubic yards removed from Sand Island Shoal by the U. S. dredge Michie at a cost of $40,335.96, and 923 cubic yards removed from the North channel by the leased dredge Robert Gray at a cost of $427.04. The total costs from regular funds, all for maintenance, including a cost adjustment of -$17,799.48, were $39,007.71. The expenditures were $59,234.43. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was 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 1946, the inner 9,100 feet of the reconstructed jetty were at grade, the next 2,656 feet showed subsidence to'a maximum depth of 18 feet below grade, and the outer 900 feet had been destroyed by the sea. Serious erosion of the shore line immedi- ately north of the jetty was occurring, the Point Chehalis beach having cut back about 1,000 feet since 1936. The north jetty was completed to midtide elevation in December 1913. It was later restored and raised to or above ordinary high water, this work being completed in January 1916. During 1941 and 1942, an 8,288-foot section was re- constructed 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 Har- bor below Aberdeen was deepened to 30 feet from the port 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 900 feet (November 1945) ; deep water in lower harbor to port terminal, 27 feet over a width of 200 feet (June 1946) ; port terminal to Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen, 26 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2489 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 Montesano to 16 feet.

WILLAPA RIVER AND HARBOR, WASH. Location.-Willapa Harbor consists of the lower reaches of Willapa River and Willapa Bay, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean located about 30 miles north of the mouth of Columbia River. Willapa River rises in the State of Washington, about 30 miles east of the harbor, flows in a general westerly direction, and empties into the bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6185.) Previous projects.-The original project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892, provided for a channel 100 feet wide and 8 feet deep from deep water in Willapa- Bay to Willapa City, by dredging and construction of dikes across the head of Mailboat and Lauderbach sloughs, and for snagging the Nasel River. The act of August 18, 1894, appropriated funds for the work under way and for improving North River by removal of a log jam. The act of March 3, 1899, authorized additional work in clearing a channel through the log jam on North River and appropriated funds for work on the 8-foot channel to Willapa City. The act of June 13, 1902, author- ized the expenditure of funds for the improvement of Willapa River and Harbor, North and Nasel Rivers, by snagging or otherwise. The act of March 2, 1907, contemplated a channel 150 feet wide and 12 feet deep between South Bend and Raymond. The act of June 25, 1910, provided for a channel 200 feet wide and 18 feet deep from deep water in Willapa Bay to the junction of the North and South Forks of the river at Raymond, and for a channel 18 feet deep and 150 feet wide up the South Fork for a distance of 3,100 feet. For further details, see page 2001 of Annual Report for 1915; page 968 of Annual Report for 1910; 'and page 1861 of Annual Report for 1938. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2491 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 shoreward 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 1946, is $774,800, 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.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied 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 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. Notification of these requirements will be made and compliance obtained prior to con- struction. Terminal facilities.-There are 10 wharves in Willapa River and Harbor. Six of these are in the cities of South Bend and Raymond, one in Tokeland, and three in Bay Center. Five are suitable for use 721584--47--pt. 1, vol. 2--73 2492 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 by oceangoing vessels; of these, three are located at sawmills, one is used for petroleum products; and one, which is publicly owned and operated, is open for public use as a general cargo terminal. The remaining five are used by small vessels in local trade, three of these are publicly owned and operated. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographic surveys were made by the U. S. survey boat Mamala at a cost of $9,460.55, all for maintenance. Dredging was done in the South Fork of Willapa River and in the river below the forks, including 79,949 cubic yards removed from North River shoal by the U. S. hopper dredge Col. P. S. Michie at a cost of $16,394.24, and 361,320 cubic yards removed from the South Fork and river between the forks and the mouth of Steamboat slough, under contract at a cost of $127,681.53. The total costs were $153,536.32, all for maintenance. The expendi- tures were $94,529.74. 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 dike at the head of Mailboat slough, constructed under a previous project, has subsided and is ineffective. A survey completed in March 1946 showed a controlling depth of 28 feet over a width of 800 feet across the bar. The controlling depths in the inner channels, prior to commence- ment of the maintenance dredging in progress at the end of the fiscal year, 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, 24 feet over width of 150 feet in May 1946. 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, 1946, have been as follows: Funds New work Maintenance Total Regular ..................----------------------..........--.....--------------- $521, 957. 42 $1, 305, 351. 97 $1,827, 309. 39 Public Works -------------------------------------------------- 78, 533.00 78, 533.00 Emergency Relief---__ .. .--------------------- 192, 314.06 ------------------ 192, 314.06 Total, United States funds-------------------- 714, 271. 48 1, 383, 884. 97 2,098, 156.45 Contributed funds .........-------------------------------- 71, 775.00 _71, 775. 00 Total, all funds .. .....----------------------------- 786, 046. 48 1, 383, 884. 97 2, 169, 931. 45 The total expenditures have been $2,039,164.09, of which $1,768,- 317.03 were regular funds, $78,533 Public Works funds, and $192,- 314.06 Emergency Relief funds.

Section 3 of the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, authorized the allotment of not to exceed $300,000 from any appropria- tions 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 navi- gable 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. Allotments of $12,000 and $30,000 were made in June and August 1945, respectively, 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. Approximately 42,875 cords of drift material were piled and burned, by hired labor, clearing 69,900 linear feet of beach, during fiscal year 1946. Patrolling of the seaplane area has been accomplished by naval personnel and equipment. The costs were $15,852.18, all for mainte- nance; and the expenditures were $14,998.66. The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, $26,401.34, will be applied to maintenance, removing and disposing of drift and floating debris, by Government plant and hired labor throughout the fiscal year 1947, and to accounts payable, $955.12.

SKAGWAY, SKAGWAY RIVER, ALASKA Location.-Skagway River rises in White Pass at the boundary be- tween British Columbia and Alaska, and flows southwesterly for 14 miles to discharge into Taiya Inlet at the town of Skagway, Alaska, 94 miles northwest of Juneau. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8202 and 8303.) Existing project.-This provides for (1) restoration of the existing breakwater to the original project cross-section and construction of a 300-foot extension thereto, and of two groins on its river side; (2) reconstruction and extension of the dike adjacent to the city; and (3) reconstruction of the existing dike at the sanatorium. The diurnal tidal range at the mouth of the river is 16.6 feet, and the extreme range is 28.5 feet. The maximum observed flood height (1943) above tidal influence at Twenty-third Street was approxi- mately 6 feet (elevation 71). The estimates of costs, made in 1946, are $438,000 for new work and $10,000 annually for maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved July 24, 1946 (H. Rept. No. 2165, 79th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is contained in House Document No. 579, Seventy- fifth Congress, third session. Local cooperation.-Local agencies are required to furnish assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will (a) provide without cost to the United States all necessary lands, easements, rights-of-way and quarry rights; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the improvements; and (c) in lieu of main- tenance of the project dike and breakwater extension thereof, con- tribute $500 annually toward maintenance of the reconstructed and 2500 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 extended city dike and harbor breakwater. Local interests have not been advised of the foregoing requirements. Operations and results durig fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been accomplished. and there have been no costs or expenditures. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1947. The sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for preparation of detailed plans on the project.

SALMON, RIVER, ALASKA Location.-Salmon River rises in Canada and flows in a southerly direction into the southeastern part of Alaska and empties into Port- land Canal at the town of Hyder. Its total length is about 25 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8054.) 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 maintenance. The project was authorized by the act approved June 18, 1934, Public, No. 388, Seventy-third Congress (H. Doc. No. 228, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-In accordance with the provisions of the act of June 18, 1934, local interests are required to contribute $7,000, toward the first cost of the work and $200 annually for maintenance. An appropriation of $7,000 was made by the Territorial legislature in 1933 for this purpose. 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairs were made to the dike during May and June 1946, by placing 1,050 linear feet of FLOOD CONTROL---SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2501 rock rolls totaling 105 cubic yards, and 5 cubic yards of rock riprap, utilizing equipment and labor loaned by the Public Roads Admin- istration. The costs were $2,124.39, all for maintenance. The expendi- tures were $880.13. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. Upon completion of repairs in 1946, the dike was in good condition. The costs from Federal funds have been $34,231.20 for new work and $9,582.21 for maintenance, a total of $43,813.41. The expenditures have been $42,569.15. In addition, $7,000 has been ex- pended from contributed funds for new work and $1,200 for mainte- nance. Proposed operations.-The Federal funds unexpended June 30, 1946, $12,908.30, together with $600 contributed funds on hand, will be applied to accounts payable, $1,244.26, and to repairs to the dike, by hired labor, during June 1947. No operations are proposed and no additional funds are required for the fiscal year 1948.

FLOOD CONTROL---SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2503 29. STILLAGUAMISH RIVER, WASH. Location.-StillaguamishRiver is formed by the confluence of its North and South Forks at Arlington, Wash., and flows westerly a distance of 22 miles to Puget Sound, entering Port Susan through Hat slough and South Pass, and Skagit Bay through West Pass. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6450, and U. S. Geological Survey quadrangles Stanwood, Marysville, and Stilaguamish, Wash.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for works to reduce bank erosion and channel changes on Stillaguamish River between Arlington and the head of Hat slough, a distance of 15 miles, and on Cook slough, 3 miles long, as follows: Revetment at 26 places on the river and Cook slough; a concrete control weir 275 feet long between steel sheet pile piers at the head of Cook slough to limit flow through the slough; and 2 cut-off channels, each about 900 feet long, to eliminate sharp bends in Cook slough. The river is nontidal within the improved section. Flood stages of 16 feet above low water at the Cook slough weir have been observed. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1938, is $220,000. The estimate for annual cost of maintenance, made in 1946, is $15,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936 (H. Doc. No. 657, 71st Cong., 3d sess.). This document contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A total of 600 linear feet of damaged bank revetment was repaired by hired labor, by placing 2,400 cubic yards of rock riprap at a cost of $5,061.57, all for main- tainance. The expenditures were $1,998.74. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939. Progressive deterioration of revetments necessitates annual repair of critical points. Other features are in good condition. The costs have been $134,594.98 from regular funds and $85,999 from Emergency Relief funds, a total of $220,593.98, for new work, and $5,061.57 for maintenance, a total of $225,655.55. The expenditures have been $222,592.72. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, $33,001.26, will be applied to accounts payable, $3,062.83 and to main- tenance, repairing dikes and revetments by contract, September to December 1946. The additional sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for repair of dikes and revetments.

TACOMA, PUYALLUP RIVER, WASH. Location.-The work covered by this project is on Puyallup River, within the city limits of Tacoma, Wash. (See U. S. Coast and Geo- detic Survey Chart No. 6407.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for a channel with a capacity of 50,000 second-feet between the lower end of the intercounty improvement and the East Eleventh Street Bridge, a distance of about 2.2 miles, by straightening the channel, building levees, revetting the channel and levees, and making all necessary bridge changes. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $2,950,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936 (Senate committee print, "Puyallup River, Wash.," 74th Cong., 2d sess.). Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Bids for construction were opened May 22, 1946, but excessive bid prtces necessitated re- vision of plans and specifications. Condemnation proceedings cover- ing the entire project were instituted. Right of entry to all unoc- cupied property was obtained, and progress was made on acquiring right of entry to occupied property. The costs were $37,282.37, all for new work. The expenditures were $37,588.73. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction work has been ac- complished. Revision of plans and specifications is 10 percent com plete. Land acquisition maps are complete, and condemnation pro- ceedings have been instituted. Right of entry to unoccupied property has been obtained, and right of entry to occupied property will be obtained by August 1946. The costs have been $120,509.52, all for new work. The expendi- tures have been $119,531.42. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, $1.480.468.58, will be applied to new work, as follows: FLOOD CONTROIr-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2505 Accounts payable June 30, 1946--- ------- _________--$978. 10 Revise plans and specifications----------------- 25, 000. 00 Commence construction of dikes, bridges, and channel excavation, October 1946 to June 1947__ - ___ _____- ___-__ 1, 454, 490. 48 Total ------------------------------------------- 1, 480, 468. 58 The additional sum of $1,350,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for new work, to complete the project.

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 con- struction of a rock-fill dam, 700 feet long at crest elevation and rising 425 feet above bedrock. The reservoir to be created will store approxi- mately 106,000 acre-feet. Outlet works are located in the right abut- ment and permit controlled discharge of 16,000 second-feet through two concrete-lined tunnels, with uncontrolled discharge through a spillway having a maximum capacity of 139,000 second-feet. The 2506 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 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 ap- proved June 22, 1936 (Senate committee print, "Puyallup River, Wash.," 74th Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $13,285,000. The cost of maintenance and operation, approved in 1943, is $85,000 annually. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work included the delivery of 39 penstock sections, by contract, at a cost of $48,019.46; painting penstock sections delivered at the project to protect them from the weather, and continued installation of staff gages adjacent to the intake structures, all by hired labor at a cost of $2,676.84. Prepa- ration of plans and specifications for completion of the project was carried on at a cost of $19,084.38. The, total cost of new work was $69,780.68. The cost of maintenance was $73,357.01, all by hired labor, including operation, ordinary maintenance and repairs, improvement and recon- struction, fish-haul, removal of drift by cableway and spar pole, installation of drift booms, maintenance and operation of gages (in- cluding snow survey and flood-forecasting studies), and maintenance of vista house, office and warehouse building, garage, work shop, and seven residences. The total costs were $143,137.69. The expenditures were $135,644.94. Control of flood flows is limited to that resulting from unregulated flow past the constriction plug in the 23-feet tunnel, and from manipu- lation of the radial gate in the 9-foot tunnel, at reservoir levels below elevation 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 December 29, 1945, a river flow of 15,500 second-feet was reduced to 12,500 second-feet by storing 2,500 acre-feet of water. Water was stored in the reservoir during the following periods: Octo- ber 1 to 4, 1945-1,800 acre-feet; November 2 to 4, 1945-1,100 acre- feet; December 28 to 31, 1945-2,500 acre-feet, with peak storage of 5,400 acre-feet at 9 p. m: December 28, 1945; January 1 to February 4, 1946-average storage, 1,800 acre-feet, with maximum storage of 2,290 acre-feet on January 22, 1946. During the fiscal year, 5,950 migratory salmon were hauled around the dam in tank trucks. The removal of drift material was a major operating problem. Ap- proximately 6,180 cords of drift material have been piled and 5,085 cords have been burned. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 93 percent 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, FLOOD CONTROL-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2507 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, recon- struction of radial gate, installation of fish hoist, installation of fish- way water-supply line, additional clearing of drift material in reser- voir above dam, and installation of staff gages. Completion. of the project was deferred during the war because of the shortage of facilities with which to manufacture the control works. The costs to June 30, 1946, have been $11,290,272.48 from regular funds and $26,000 from Emergency Relief funds, a total of $11,316,- 272.48, for new work, and $251,044.56 for maintenance, a combined total of $11,567,317.04. The expenditures have been $11,536,945.86 from regular funds and $26,000 from Emergency Relief funds, a total of $11,562,945.86. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, $409,294.71 together with accounts receivable, $98.25, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1946------------------------------- $12, 247. 67 New work, by contract: Completion of the fabrication of the penstock sec- $47, 100. 00 tions, July to December 1946_______________ Commence installations of penstocks, cast steel lining, regulating valves and fishway; construc- tion of valve house and tunnel plugs; reconstruc- tion of radial gate; removal of constriction plug July 1946 to June 1947 _____________________ 216, 009. 85 Exploratory drilling and investigation of permea- bility of right canyon wall of reservoir, July 1946 to June 1947_______________________________ 30, 200. 00 New work, by hired labor: Complete installation of river gages, paint penstock sections when delivered at the project; install auxiliary drift booms across river 2 miles upstream from dam; continue advance planning and specifications for completion of the project, July 1946 to June 1947_______________ 12, 000. 00 305, 309. 85 Maintenance, by hired labor: Operation, July 1, 1946, to June 30, 1947-- _..._ 62, 285. 44 Ordinary repairs and reconstruction--------___ 4, 350. 00 Collection and disposal of drift material---___ 25, 200. 00 91, 835. 44 Total for all work---------------------------------_ 409, 392. 96 The additional sum of $885,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948, as follows: New work, by contract: Continue installation of penstocks, cast steel lining, regulating valves; construction of fish- way, valve house, tunnel plugs, and permanent office, warehouse, and shop building; reconstruction of radial gate; removal of constriction plug; relocation of perma- nent quarters for operating force--------------------- $757, 500 New work, by hired labor: Reservoir and sedimentation survey, radio equipment installation, and 10 acres of res- ervoir clearing_-------------------------------------- 42, 500 $800, 000 721584--47-pt. 1, vol. 2-74 2508 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

H., DISTRICT This district formerly included the Territory of Hawaii and Mid- way.and Wake Islands, in the Pacific Ocean. Effective February 18, 1946, the Honolulu, T. H., district was removed from the control of the division engineer, Pacific Division, and placed under the con- trol of the division engineer, Western Ocean Division. The area of the Honolulu district now includes the Hawaiian Islands, Line Islands, Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands, Caroline Islands, The Marianas, Bonin Islands, Midway Island, Wake Island, Marcus Island and Johnston Island, and such islands in the South Pacific Ocean lying between the one hundred and fifty-ninth meridian of east longitude and one hundred and eighth meridian of west longitude as may be under the jurisdiction of the United States. District engineer: Col. Claude H. Chorpening, Corps of Engineers (May 1, 1945, to December 2, 1945); Col. George J. Zimmerman, Corps of Engineers (December 3, 1945, to December 17, 1945); Col.

Location.--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.) 2521 2522 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS,, U. S. ARMY, 1946 Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 40 feet deep and 500 feet wide; easing the curve where the entrance channel 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, connecting Honolulu Harbor with Kapalama Basin. The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, authorized the modification of the existing project to provide a depth of 35 feet over the full width of 600 feet throughout the reserve channel; a turning basin in Kapalama Basin 35 feet deep by 1,000 feet wide and 3,000 feet long; and a slip of like depth 1,000 feet long on the easterly side of pier 39. 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 ordinary conditions is 2.3 feet. The esimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $3,959,600. The latest (1946) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $25,000. 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.

Terminal facilities.-The United States Government controls ter- minal facilities for the use of the Navy, the Engineer Department, and the United States Army Forces, Middle Pacific, Army Port and Service Command. The terminal facilities owned by the Territorial government are administered by the Territorial Board of Harbor Commissioners and are open to shipping on equal terms. Pipe lines for diesel oil, fuel oil, molasses, kerosene, gasoline, distillate, and water are available. There are 39 piers and wharves, of which 7 are owned by the United States Government, 14 by the Territorial government, and 18 by RIVERS AND HARBORS-HONOLULU, T. H., DISTRICT 2523 private interests. Six of the 39 piers and wharves are used only by small vessels or ships handling special cargoes. Of the 14 piers owned by the Territory, piers 6 and 16 are unfit for use. The pier sheds are partly collapsed, and the substructure has given way in some places so that the planking has collapsed. The Territorial Board of Harbor Commissioners reports that eventual rebuilding of these two piers is contemplated. In addition to these facilities, the United States Army constructed a concrete sheet pile barge mooring wharf 470 feet long in the mouth of Kapalama drainage canal shoreward' of pier 39; a timber pile marginal wharf 4,000 feet long along the southerly side of the Reserve Channel and Kapalama Basin; a dredge and marine repair slip 250 feet wide and 700 feet long with extensive marine repair facilities on Sand Island; and extensive storage and terminal facilities in the vicinity of piers 39 and 40. These two piers are mole-type structures, each 1,000 feet long recently constructed by the United States Army. In addition to the facilities enumerated in the preceding paragraph, the United States Army started construction of a slip in the northerly side of Kapalama Basin adjacent to the storage and terminal facilities in the vicinity of piers 39 and 40. This facility is located within the 75 feet to 125 feet air clearance zone necessary for operation of aircraft from John Rodgers Airport and from Keehi Lagoon. The slip is 151 feet wide by 544 feet long on the westerly side and 468 feet long on the easterly side and 30 feet deep, and is intended for mooring of barges and small vessels only. Work was suspended on August 22, 1945, when the project was 371/2% percent complete. At that time dredging was completed, all piling was driven, 450 lineal feet of concrete curtain wall and shelf were in place, and timber beams to support forms for the concrete pier slab had been bolted in place across the piling. The work neces- sary to complete the project as originally planned consists of cutting off 109 piles to proper elevation, placing approximately 713 lineal feet of concrete curtain wall and shelf, placing of concrete beams and decks, and installation of railroad spur, utilities, and warehouse facilities. In view of the heavy water borne traffic in this harbor immediately prior to the war, the facilities are considered inadequate for normal commerce. There is a definite need for a powder and explosive ter- minal since existing facilities do not permit the proper handling of this type of cargo. The Territorial Board of Harbor Commissioners reports that installation of fuel-oil lines to pier 36 is authorized, but that actual installation is not presently contemplated. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance operations accomplished with regular ft hds consisted of hydrographic survey started on June 26, 1946; this survey was incomplete on June 30, 1946. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $140.04. There were no expenditures. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. The controlling depth in June 1945 was 33 feet in the harbor basin, 38 feet in the entrance channel, and 32.8 feet in the improved portion of the reserved channel. 721584-47-pt. 1, vol. 2- 75 2524 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1946, was $4,320,- 343.72 from regular funds, of which $3,952,363.43 was for new work, and $367,980.29 was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $4,320,203.68.

KAHULUI HARBOR, T. H. Location.-This harbor is on the north coast of the island of Maui, about 94 miles southeast of Honolulu. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 4105.) RIVERS AND HARBORS---HONOLULU, T. H., DISTRICT 2525 Eaisting project.--This provides for the extension of a total length of 2,850 feet of the privately constructed rubble-mound breakwater on the east side of the harbor, for a rubble-mound breakwater on the west side with an appt-oximate length of 2,396 feet, and for the dredg- ing of a basin in the.lee of the east breakwater to a depth of 35 feet, mean lower low water, and a maximum width of 1,450 feet. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 2.4 feet and the extreme tidal range under normal conditions is 3.4 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1927, was $1,988,000, The latest (1931) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance operations accomplished with regular funds consisted of hydrographic survey completed in May 1946 at a cost of $1,667.82. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $1,667.82 and total expenditures were $121.38. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1931. The controlling depth in May 1946 was 35 feet, with the exception of a small area along the west project line, where controllirg depth was 33 feet. Tidal waves on April 1, 1946, inflicted damage to Kahului in the form of displacement of 200 to 300 cubic yards of ca f the shore end and harbor side of the west breakwater. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 19469mo0- 998.73 from regular funds, of which $1,778,560.46 was f izyiN $352,503.02 for maintenance, and $2,935.25 undist se material and supplies in stock.

HILO HARBOR, T. H. Location.-This harbor is on the northeast coast of the island of Hawaii, about 200 miles southeast of Honolulu. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 4103.) Existing project.-This provides for a rubble mound breakwater 10,170 feet long, for the removal of shoals at the entrance to Kuhio Bay to a depth of 35 feet, and for dredging an area in Kuhio Bay 1,400 feet wide, about 2,300 feet long, and 35 feet deep. The plane of reference is mean oiwer low water. The range of tides between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 2.3 feet, and the extreme range under ordinary conditions is 3.2 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1925, was $3,800,000. The latest (1925) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $5,000. RIVERS AND HARBORS-HONOLULU, T.

Mar. 3,1925 Extension of the breakwater and dredging in the H. Doec. No. 235, 68th Cong., 1st sess.' bay. 1Contains latest published map. Terminal facilities.-The Territory of Hawaii has constructed three piers at the head of Kuhio Bay. Pipe lines for fuel oil, Diesel oil, molasses, kerosene, gasoline, distillate, and water are available. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (For further details, see Port and Terminal Facilities at the Ports of the Territory of Hawaii, Corps of Engineers, 1941.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance operations accomplished with regular funds consisted of a hydrographic survey completed in May 1946 at a cost of $4,110.65, and repairs to damaged sections of breakwater started in April 1946 and incomplete on June 30, 1946, with a cost to date of $279,850.36. The total cost of maintenance for the fiscal year was $283,961.01, and total expenditures were $120,953.59. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1930. The controlling depth in May 1946 was 35 feet. Tidal waves on April 1, 1946, inflicted damage to sections of the breakwater totaling 6,030 lineal feet plus or minus, or approximately 60 percent of the breakwater. The damaged sections consist of nine breaks with the assumed average depth of the gaps being 3 feet below mean lower low water. Very little of the rock throughout the broken portions extends above normal water level. The broken section which is most critical to shipping is situated adjacent to the shore and is approximately 1,220 feet in length. The repair of this section plus the next two breaks seaward are in progress. The repair of the 1,220 feet section is 79.2 percent complete with 26,927 tons of rock in place of an estimated total of 34,000 tons required for the repair of this section. The repair of the next two breaks is 33.5 percent complete with 4,971 tons of rock in place of an estimated total of 14,860 tons required for the repair of the two breaks. Tidal waves on April 1, 1946, inflicted damage to the piershed of the Territorial owned pier 1 to such an extent as to necessitate removal of the remaining portion of the superstructure. The Territorial Board of Harbor Commissioners reports that rebuilding of the super- structure is contemplated when funds are available. The total cost to June 30, 1946, was $3,768,026.35 from regular funds, of which $3,408,825.58 was for new work and $359,200.77 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $3,605,018.93. 2528 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-HONOLULU, T. H., DISTRICT 2529 4. NAWILIWILI HARBOR, T. H. Location.-This harbor is on the southeast coast of the island of Kauai, about 100 miles northwest of Honolulu. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 4111.) Existing project.-This provides for a rubble-mound breakwater about 2,150 feet in length along the reef which separates this bay into an inner and an outer harbor; for an entrance channel 35 feet deep with a minimum width of 600 feet and a length of about 2,400 feet; for a harbor basin 35 feet deep, 1,100 feet wide, and with an aver- age length of about 2,000 feet protected by a filled area in addition to the protection afforded by the breakwater. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 1.8 feet, the extreme tidal range being about 4 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1928, was $1,900,000, of which $200,000 was contributed- by local interests. The latest (1931) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $35,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919 (H. Doc. No. 609, 62d Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is found in the project document. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-The Territory has constructed a concrete wharf, with concrete-steel transit shed and an open wharf in prolon- gation thereof, on the southern side of a 47.5-acre tract reclaimed for terminal purposes. Pipe lines for molasses, kerosene, gasoline, and water are available. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. The United States Navy Department has ex- clusive use of the shedded portion of the wharf. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance operations accomplished with regular funds consisted of hydrographic survey completed in September 1945 at a cost of $1,141.38. The cost and expenditures for the year were $1,141.38. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1930. The controlling depth in September 1945 was 32 feet in the harbor basin, and 32 feet in the entrance channel. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1946, was $1,427,- 461.70 from regular funds, of which $1,197,178.23 was for new work, $221,909.62 for maintenance, and $8,373.85 undistributed costs for supplies and materials in stock. The total expenditures were $1,427,461.70. Proposed operations.---he balance unexpended June 30, 1946, amounting to $2,405, will be applied to performance of maintenance hydrographic survey with Government plant and hired labor. The additional sum of $128,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for maintenance work with Government plant and hired labor consisting of hydrographic survey in September 1947 and maintenance dredging during fiscal year 1948. There has been no maintenance dredging in this harbor since 1941 and considerable silt- ing has occurred during the intervening period. 2530 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

WAKE ISLAND HARBOR Location.-This harbor is at Wake Island, an atoll in the Pacific Ocean about 2,000 nautical miles west of Honolulu, T. H., and 2,700 miles east of Manila, Philippine Islands.: (See U. S. Navy Hydro- graphic Chart No. 162.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 18 feet deep and 200 feet :wide from deep water in the Pacific Ocean to a turning basin of the same depth and 1,000 feet square just south of Peale Island; the channel dimensions to be suitably increased at the entrance and its exact location to be fixed as may be found advisable by the Chief of Engineers. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 2.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1936, is $1,000,000. The latest (1936) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $38,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 84, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Terminal facilities.-The Pan American Airways Co. has a pier on the lagoon shore of Peale Island for the use of its seaplanes and small boats and has under consideration the construction of a per- manent pier at the same general location for handling cargo. The pier will be adequate for docking the supply ship. The company also has a pier on the ocean side of Wilkes Island and a pier on the lagoon side of the same island connected by a narrow-gage railway. Ships are now unloaded in open sea. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under the existing project. The' controlling depth in September 1941 was 0 feet in the entrance channel. The United States Navy Department has reported that work per- formed for the Navy consists of dredging an entrance channel between Wilkes Island and Wake Island, with a turning basin and boat basin for accommodation of small craft. The controlling depth in June -1946 was 8 feet in the entrance channel and turning basin. Proposed operations.--No funds are available and no work is pro- posed during the fiscal year 1947. The sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for making a hydrographic survey with Government plant and hired labor. 2534 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

WELLES HARBOR, MIDWAY ISLAND Location.-This harbor is at Midway Island, an atoll in the Pacific Ocean about 1,140 nautical miles west of Honolulu, T. H., and 1,090 miles east of Wake Island. (See U. S. Navy Hydrographic Charts Nos. 1952 and 2468.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel from deep water in the Pacific Ocean through the southerly reef to deep water inside the lagoon, ending in a harbor basin approximately 1,200 feet square, with widths in the entrance channel decreasing from 500 feet at the seaward end to 200 feet in a distance of 1,000 feet, continuing at the latter width to the basin, a further distance of 5,500 feet, with depths of 22 feet in the outer 1,500 feet of the entrance channel and 20 feet in the remainder of the channel and the basin; and for a sea- plane basin about 1,200 feet square and 8 feet deep at the northeast end of Sand Island, protected by suitable breakwaters with a flared entrance channel of the same depth. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The mean range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 2 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1936, is $1,041,000. The latest (1936) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. No. 49, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), which pro- vided for the entrance channel and harbor basin; and Rivers and Harbors Committee Document No. 9, Seventy-fifth Congress, first session, which provided for the seaplane basin, entrance channel thereto, and the breakwaters. For latest putblished map see the project documents. In addition to the foregoing, a Navy project.provides for enlarging the entrance channel to widths in the entrance from 700 feet wide at the seaward end to 300 feet at a distance of 2,000 feet, continuing the latter width to the basin, with depths 32 feet in the outer 2,000 feet of the entrance and 30 feet in the remainder of the channel. The Navy project was authorized by Public, No. 43, Seventy-sixth Congress, first session (H. R. 4278 approved April 25, 1939). Terminal facilities.-Two commercial companies have built small piers for landing supplies. The United States Navy Department has constructed a 500-foot steel pier on the northeast coast of Sand Island, sufficient for docking Navy supply ships. The facilities are consid- ered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. RIVERS AND HARBORS-HONOLULU, T. H., DISTRICT 2535 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 99 percent completed on June 30, 1941. Following are the features of the work and percentage of each completed: (1) Ship-channel dredging, 100 percent completed. (2) Seaplane-basin dredging, 100 percent completed. (3) Harbor-basin dredging, 100 percent completed. (4) Construction of breakwater, about 98 percent completed. Con- crete cap for the breakwater will be installed by the Navy Department. The United States Navy Department has reported that the control- ling depth in June 1946 was 32 feet in the ship channel, 12 feet in the seaplane basin, and 30 feet in the harbor basin. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1946, was $2,488,- 095.26 from regular funds, of which $2,488,056.39 was for new work and $38.87 was for maintenance. The 'total expenditures were $2,488,095.26. In addition to the above cost the United States Navy Department contributed $1,370,147.29 to cover cost of additional blasting and dredging operations. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed during the fiscal year 1947. The sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for making a hydrographic survey.

KEEHI LAGOON, T. H. Location.-Keehi Lagoon is located on the south coast of the island of Oahu, approximately midway between the entrance to Honolulu Harbor and the entrance to Pearl Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 4132 and 4110.) Existing project.-This provides for construction of a seaplane harbor as follows: (a) Three intersecting runways (designated A, B, and C on proj- ect map), each 10 feet deep and.1,000 feet wide, of lengths 2.9 miles, 3 miles, and 1.4 miles, .respectively. 2536 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1946 (b) Two rock breakwaters of lengths 2,500 lineal feet and 2,000 lineal feet at the seaward ends of the runways. (c) A mooring basin 800 feet long by 400 feet wide by 10 feet deep at the northwesterly side of runway A, upon a prolongation of runway. C. (d) Installation of a standard seaplane lighting system. 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 ordinary conditions is 2.3 feet. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1945, is $3,348,000; and the latest approved estimated cost of annual maintenance, made in 1939, is $34,000 for the first 3 years after completion and $18,000 thereafter. The existing project was authorized in the National Defense River and Harbor Act, approved October 17, 1940 (Public, No. 868, 76th Cong., 3d sess.), and the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 379, 77th Cong., 1st sess.), modified the project to pro- vide for the elimination of runway C and its protecting breakwater, and the construction, with protective breakwater, of runway D about 2.25 miles long, 1,000 feet wide, and 10 feet deep, extending in a general northwest southeast direction and intersecting runways A and B near their easterly end. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Operationsand results during fiscal year.--None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in September 1944. The controlling depth of the entire project on June 30, 1944, was 8 feet. The cost and expenditures of the existing project to June 30, 1945, for new work, were $3,348,000 from regular funds. The project was completed during September 1944 with military funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1946, amounting to $34,300, will be applied to making a hydrographic survey with Government plant and hired labor, the estimated cost of which is $2,600. The balance is available for revocation. The additional sum of $3,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1948 for making a hydrographic survey.
