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 included in this report embraces the 195-mile section known as the middle Mississippi, be- tween the tributary Ohio and Missouri Rivers, about 984 to 1,179 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. Eaisting 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- RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, DISTRICT 1345 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 chan- nel required by the civic development be deferred until completion of the lateral canal in the interest of navigation and that the river diversion work connected with such civic development be under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers in order to insure that the interests of interstate and foreign commerce be properly protected- and further provided that local interests hold and save the United States free from any claims for damages that might be incurred due to the construction, maintenance, or operation of such civic development or any part thereof (H. Doc. 231, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1947, is $93,521,000, with $1,370,000 for annual maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents -Project for regulating works adopted in 1881.

See House Document 669 (76th Cong., 3d sess.) for report of Chief of Enginers 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 "Survey of Terminals and Landings on the Inland Waterways of the United States." Operations and results during fiscal year.-River stages were favor- able to construction work by contact and hired labor with Government plant during the fall of 1946. However, due to high river stages 1346 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 between April and June 1947 work was carried on only intermittently. Regulating works were maintained and project dimensions of channels were secured by dredging. The districts standard specifications for construction work were used.

Two revetments, totaling 1,315 feet in length, consisting of 1,256 squares of mattress and 683 squares of paving were built by hired labor with Government plant, at a cost of $63,004.73. A total of 354,231 cubic yards of material was handled by a United States hydraulic dredge in preparing two localities for new regulating works at a cost of $43,503. Eleven dikes, totaling 4,325' feet in length, were built under contract at a cost of $482,767.53. One revetment, consisting of 56 squares of paving was completed under contract at a cost of $14,- 663.71. In addition to complete work there was under construction RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, DISTRICT 1347 by contract, 12 dikes to total about 9,340 linear feet. Costs of $1,389,- 330.40 were incurred on the improvement at Chain of Rocks as fol- lows: By contract, relocation of utilities, $70,995.02 and construc- tion of bridge over canal, $251,338.91. By hired labor, dredging lower approach to canal, removing 2,953,583 cubic yards of material, $530,765.89, dredging 41,106 cubic yards. for relocation of utilities, $7,889.34; purchase of 1,513.22 acres of land, $236,491.77; abstract of titles, $11,500.34, appraisals and negotiations, $9,161.97, legal and administrative expense $3,322.96 and miscellaneous office and field costs in connection with land acquisition, $32,711.84; engineering, de- sign and studies, $221,370.34 and miscellaneous construction surveys, $13,782.02. The total cost of new work was $2,026,078.17, from regu- lar funds. Maintenance: Dikes and revetments were repaired at a cost of $367,517.08. The required 9-foot channel was maintained, except for the short periods needed to move a dredge to the shoal, by four United States hydraulic dredges. During the year 21 shoals devel- oped, of which 17 were dredged once and 2 were dredged twice. There were 2,007,447 cubic yards of sand and gravel removed by these dredges from the channel through 21 bars. The channels dredged had a com- bined length of 9.8 miles, an average width of 350 feet, and an aver- age gain in depth of 5.4 feet. The total cost of maintenance dredg- ing, was $222,502.53. Hydrographic surveys were made covering approximately 200 miles of river, costing $88,951.87. Aids to navigation were installed at a cost of $23,133.47. Other miscellaneous costs were: Snagging, $1,952.99; cooperative stream gaging, $8,691.69; discharge observa- tions at miscellaneous localities, $1,146.04; stream flow forecasting, $6,708.85; removal of 4,124 cubic yards of rock, $1,851.08; gages, $11,875.76 and releasing grounded vessels, $1,399.09, all charged to maintenance. The total cost of all maintenance was $735,730.45. The expenditures were $2,678,477.94 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work under this project (includ- ing the authorized Chain of Rocks improvement), is about 49 percent complete. The quantities required to complete the project are esti- mated at 170 dikes, 159,000 linear feet; 82 revetments, 85,000 linear feet, and the canal, lock, levees, etc., at Chain of Rocks as recommended in House Document 231. Dikes and revetments are now in good re- pair 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 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 1348 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 1946 was 10.42 feet, St. Louis gage. The mean stage of the river for the fiscal year 1947 was 12.42 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 provided 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 7. 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.-Cost incurred for new work this fiscal year was $214.01 for the preparation of maintenance manual by hired labor. The expenditures were $214.01. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work under the existing project is about 39.8 percent complete. The total costs and expenditures to June 30, 1947, were $502,260.73, for new work. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance at the end of the fiscal year, $5,785.99, will be applied to complete detailed plans and initiate work on construction plans, by hired labor. No work is proposed for fiscal year 1949. It is expected that, with the proposed expenditures, the project will be about 40.3 percent complete.

NORTH ALEXANDER DRAINAGE AND LEVEE DISTRICT, ILLINOIS Location.-This project is in the north end of Alexander County, Ill., on the left bank of Mississippi River between river miles 51 and 58 above the Ohio River. The district includes the bottoms between McClure, Ill., and the bluffs and extends from the northeast bcuind- ary of the East Cape Girardeau and Clear Creek drainage district on the south to the old channel or Clear Creek on the north. Eristing project.-This provides for the raising and enlarging of the entire levee system consisting of 5.2 miles of levee, which was previously reconstructed by the United States, and the construction of appurtenant works such as gravity drainage structures, surfacing of access roads on the levee crown, and altering the railroads at one levee crossing. The project when completed will not in itself afford complete projection to this district; but in combination with and upon completion of authorized work in the East Cape Girardeau and Clear Creek drainage district, and in the Miller Pond, the Clear Creek, and the Preston drainage and levee districts, protection will have been provided to this and the other districts named against a flood of about 50-year frequency. The estimated total construction cost, revised in 1946, is $708,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936. Local cooperation.-See page 7. Assurance of local cooperation approved by the county court of Union County, Ill., has been furnished and was approved by the Secretary of War on June 22, 1939. Re- quirements of local cooperation for the work previously performed by the United States were fully complied with. Compliance with the requirements for local cooperation for the proposed work of construct- ing the levee to the grade revised in 1944 has not as yet been requested. Operation and results during fiscal year.-Costs incurred for new work by hired labor were $628.24, of which $531.47 was for the prep- aration of maintenance manual, $13.66 for construction plans, and $83.11 for tentative levee grade revisions. The expenditures were $628.24 for new work. 766707-48 pt. 1, vol. 2 -2 1356 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

CLEAR CREEK DRAINAGE AND LEVEE DISTRICT, ILLINOIS Location.-This project is in Union and Alexander Counties, Ill., on the left bank of Mississippi River between river miles 57 and 66 above the Ohio River. Except for some lowlands and islands along the river, the district includes practically all the bottoms between the river and the bluffs and between Ware, Ill., on the north and McClure, Ill., on the south. Existing project.-This provides for raising and enlarging the exist- ing levee system by reconstructing approximately 10.9 miles of river- front levee and 10.1 miles of back levee and the construction of ap- purtenant works consisting of gravity drainage structures and the surfacing of access roads on the levee crown. The project, when FLOOD CONTROL---T. LOUIS, MISSOURI, DISTRICT 1357 completed, will not in itself afford complete protection to this district; but in combination with and upon completion of authorized work in the East Cape Girardeau and Clear Creek drainage district, and the North Alexander, the Miller Pond, and the Preston drainage and levee districts, protection will have been provided this and the other dis- tricts named against a flood of about 50-year frequency. The esti- mated total construction cost, revised in 1947, including $23,000 of 1936 funds used for temporary levee repair, resulting from the 1943 flood, is $2,994,000.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN THE MISSOURI RIVER AND MINNE- APOLIS, MINN. (ROCK ISLAND DISTRICT) For report on this improvement see page 1393. 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.

The costs during the fiscal year were $156,970.92, for operating and care. The expenditures were $157,459.59. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1918. All locks, dams, aqueducts, buildings, and other ap- purtenances are in fair condition. Controlling depths of 6.5 feet in the main canal, and 5.5 feet in the feeder canal, which are adequate for present navigation, are being maintained. The bottom width of the canal is 52 feet and width at water surface is 80 feet, except at aqueducts where the width is 40 feet, and at locks, 35 feet. A navi- gation notice was issued on March 7, 1947, which provided a maxi- mum possible service with the limited funds available, and requiring commercial tows to give 10 days' notice so that arrangements for operating personnel could be accomplished. The total cost to June 30, 1947, from regular funds was $9,588,- 003.10, of which $7,580,143.41 was for construction and $2,007,859.69 was for operation and care. The expenditures were $9,588,568.81. The costs and expenditures from Emergency Relief funds for re- moval of snags and stumps in Rock River pool were $25,000, all new work.

SNY BASIN, ILL. Location.-The work covered by this project consists of local flood protection in the basin of The Sny, a former by-channel of the Mis- sissippi River, in Pike County, Ill., approximately 261 to 314 miles above the mouth of the Ohio River. Existing project.-The major tributaries of The Sny are McCraney, Hadley, Kiser, Six Mile, and Bay Creeks. Several minor tributaries include Fall, Pigeon, Horton, and Dutch Creeks. The plan of im-- provement 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- sissipi River. McCraney Creek leveed diversion channel 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. FLOOD CONTROL-ROCK ISLAND, ILL., DISTRICT 1419 (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 hpstream 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 rtighway 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 of a new leveed channel would extend to the Mississippi River one-quarter mile below lock and dam 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. Federal cost for construction of the project (revised 1946) is esti- mated at $6,477,000. Cost for lands and rights-of-way, access roads, subsurface drainage system, bridge, and utility alterations, to be borne by local interests, is estimated at $402,000. 'i'he existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946, sub- stantially in accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers in his report dated April 17, 1946. Local cooperation.-Section 3 of the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, applies. See page 7 for requirements. In addition, local interests will be required to furnish necessary authority to abandon obstructive bridges, and make all necessary alterations and relocations of highway bridges, roads, subsurface drains, and public utilities affected by the improvement. No action toward fulfilling the requirements of local cooperation has yet been taken. Operations and results during flecal year.-Preliminary planning and field surveys by hired labor, in connection with preparation of detailed plans were started during the fiscal year. The costs during the year were $11,161.91 for new work; the expenditures were $9,267.52. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionhad not been started. Preliminary planning, by hired labor, was in progress. The total costs to June 30, 1947, were $11,161.91 for new work; the expenditures were $9,267.52. Proposed operations.-Ofthe balance unexpended on June 30, 1947, $15,532.48, the amount of $1,894.39 will be applied to liquidation of accounts payable, and the balance, $13,638.09, plus $900,000 allotted in August 1947, will be applied to the continuation of planning by hired labor and initiation of construction by contract. The additional sum of $1,785,200 can be profitably expended during 766707148-pt. 1, vol. 2-6 1420 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

RED ROCK RESERVOIR, UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER BASIN, IOWA Location.-The work covered by the project is on the Des Moines River, in Marion County, Iowa, about 45 miles downstream from the city of Des Moines, and approximately 155.6 miles above the mouth of the waterway which empties into the Mississippi River about 361.4 miles above the mouth of the Ohio River. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of an earth-filled dam, with crest elevation 814 feet above mean sea level. The spillway proposed is an ogee gravity concrete :section, 1,000 feet long with crest at elevation 784 feet above mean 1422 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 sea level, with gate controlled outlets through the ogee having a total discharge capacity of 35,500 cubic feet per second with pool level at elevation 762.4 feet above mean sea level; a concrete powerhouse parallel to the river, to be 100 feet long, 56 feet wide, and 38 feet high with the upstream wall composed of the concrete nonoverflow section of the dam, with an installed capacity of 8,600 kilowatts. The drain- age area at the dam site is 11,850 square miles. With pool at spill- way crest, elevation 784, the reservoir area would be 50,000 acres and would have a total volume of 1,200,000 acre-feet, of which 800,00 acre- feet would be allocated to flood control and the remaining 400,000 acre-feet to power and recreation; 1,150,000 acre-feet of flood-control storage would be utilized initially, construction of the power generat- ing facilities being deferred. Floodwaters impounded by the res- ervoir would reduce flood heights in the Des Moines River and in the Mississippi River. The latest estimate of cost of the project, revised in 1946, is $20,710,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944, substantially in ac- cordlance with House Document 651, Seventy-eighth Congress, second session, as a unit of the general comprehensive plan for flood control and other purposes in the Upper Mississippi River Basin, approved by the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938.

HENDERSON COUNTY DRAINAGE DISTRICT NO. 3, ILLINOIS Location.The project is located on the left (east) bank of the Mis- sissippi River in Henderson County, Ill., opposite and upstream from Burlington, Iowa, 411 to 415 miles above the mouth of the Ohio River. The district is bounded on the south and southeast by the lower reaches of Henderson River. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the raising and enlarging of about 3.12 miles of existing levee along that portion of the district bounded by Henderson River. The construction will provide protection to 2,191 acres of farm land against the highest flood of record on Henderson River. The levee along that portion of the district bounded by the Mississippi River was improved in 1925, under authority of the act of March 1, 1917, to provide a like degree of protection against Mississippi River floods.- The prcject is au- thorized by section 5 of the Flood Control Act, approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1947, is $49,500, and the estimated cost of land is $1,250. The estimated cost of construction will be reduced to $27,968 in the event that a proposed diversion of Henderson River flood flows is undertaken within a reasonable time. The proposed diversion would provide an equal degree of protection to the district with a lower project levee grade. Local cooperation.--Section 3 of the authorizing legislation (Flood Control Act, approved June 22, 1936) applies. See page 7 for re- quirements. Assurances have been received from officials of the drainage district that the district was willing and able to meet the requirements for local cooperation. Operations and results during fscal year.-Preliminaryplanning, by hired labor, in connection with preparation of detailed plans was in progress during the fiscal year. The costs during the year were $2,500 for new work; the expenditures were $2,500. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction work had not been started. Preliminary planning, by hired labor, was continued to June 30, 1947. The total costs to June 30, 1947, were $2,500 for new work; the expenditures were $2,500. Proposed operations.-The sum of $47,000, allotted in August 1947, will be applied to the preparation of contract plans and specifications, by hired labor, and construction of the entire project, by contract.

The sum of $19,000 was made available during the fiscal year 1946 for snagging and clearing and other stream improvement on Bay Creek, in the Sny Island levee drainage district, Illinois. The work to be performed consists of excavating a channel, about 8,000 feet in length, 40 feet in bottom width, and with an average depth of 6 feet, abreast of a drift accumulation obstructing the flow of Bay Creek, which presently constitutes a flood threat to the flood- control levee protecting the Bay Creek subdistrict, and also to the drainage facilities which previously provided drainage to a large area .of highly productive land. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Contract construction was completed in September 1946. The costs for the fiscal year were $16,821.08 for new work; the expenditures were $17,083.55. Condition at end of fiscal year.-A total of 88,560 cubic yards of material was excavated in construction of the channel of Bay Creek, Sny Basin, which completed the project. The total costs and ex- penditures to June 30, 1947, were $19,000 for new work.

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 413, Sixty-fourth Congress, first session, and was ordered by Congress in the River and Haror 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 5original dams, and sur- veys to determine the extent of lands overflowed by the reservoirs.

Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year.--The reservoirs were operated as required and a few necessary repairs made to the appur- tenant structures. Major repair items included repair of timber re- taining wall at Leech Lake Dam and the repair of four sluice gates in Sandy Lake Dam. The precipitation in the reservoir area in 1946, although about 4.8 inches above normal, was spread rather uniformly throughout the year. Consequently no serious operating conditions arose. The Mississippi River at Aitkin, Minn., approached flood stage four times during the spring and summer of 1946, the last time on July 1. "Each time the discharges from the reservoirs were reduced so as to reduce the peak stage at Aitkin. No estimate of the actual effect of these operations has been made. In the first 6 months of 1947, precipitation was about 0.8 inch below normal. However, a flood developed at Aitkin in April due to run-off from snow-melt and rain and from ice blocking the channel. Following a series of rains in the early part of June, the stage at Aitkin rapidly approached flood stage. In both cases, the reservoir discharges were materially decreased to hold the stage at Aitkin as low as possible. No estimate of the effect of the operation of the reservoirs on the April flood has been made, but computations indicate that the stage at Aitkin would have been about 3 feet higher in June if none of the reservoirs had been in operation. During the year there was a net inflow of about 1,620,000 acre-feet into the reservoirs and about 1,512,000 acre-feet were discharged, resulting in a net increase in storage of about 108,000 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 1446 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 details, see page 1890 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1105 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for open-channel improvement from the Mississippi River to Shakopee (25.6 miles). The object to be accomplished by this improvement is to obtain a channel with 4 feet of water from the Mississippi River to Shakopee, which will ac- commodate vessels of 3-foot draft. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1892, was $10,000, 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, 1.892 (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. Local interests on March 27, 1942, requested that the section of the channel between the mouth and Savage, Minn., be dredged to a depth of 9 feet, and the Secretary of War under authority con- tained in section 4 of the River and Harbor Act approved March 4, 1915, authorized acceptance of a total of $139,670.91 as local contribu- bution 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.-Preliminarysurveys for maintenance were carried on by hired labor at a cost of $559.90. Ex- penditures were $23.60. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1931. Additional channel dredging (see "Local cooperation") completed in July 1943, provides: A channel with minimum depth of 9 feet and a width of 100 feet from the mouth to Port Cargill, mile 13.1, 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. Depths in this reach greater than project depth are not dependable. Navigation was practicable from Port Cargill, mile 13.1, to Shakopee for drafts not in excess of 3 feet. The total costs and expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1947, were $83,266.99, being $12,730.69 for new work and $70,536.30 for maintenance. In addition, the cost and expenditure from contributed funds was $139,670.91 for new work dredging to a depth of 9 feet, under the provisions of section 4 of the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1915. Proposed operations.-The sum of $2,500 allotted in August 1947 will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys by hired labor._--- $500 Channel dredging by Governmeit plant and hired labor (June 1948) 2, ,000 Total maintenance_- -- ----- --- -- - - - - 2, 500 RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST.

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 Fall (27.8 miles); and improvement of the harbor and water front at Stillwater. 1448 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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. 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 mouth H. Ex.

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 timber 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Preliminarysurveys for maintenance were carried on by hired labor at a cost of $214.27. Ex- penditures were $163.62. 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 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, 1947, were $281,163.22, being $150,409.50 for new work and $130,753.72 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $281,163.22. Proposed operations.-The sum of $1,000, allotted in August 1947, will be applied to preliminary channel dredging surveys for mainte- nance by hired labor. The additional sum of $26,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys by hired labor_------------- $1, 000 Dredging channel between Stillwater and mouth by Government plant and hired labor (July and August 1948)---- -------- -25, 000 Total maintenance........---------------------------- 26, 000 RIVERS AND HIARORS--ST.

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 Survey map of Wisconsin, scale 1: 500,000 for general location.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel depth of 9 feet below the normal elevation of pool 8, Mississippi River, substantially from bank to bank and extending from the mouth to a point 1.4 miles upstream. The latest approved estimated cost of new work made 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. 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. 1450 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Terminal facilities.-The Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. owns and oper- ates an oil terminal on the left bank 0.4 mile above the mouth. Northern States Power Co. maintains a dock for the receipt of coal on the right bank at mile 0.8. The city of La Crosse owns and oper- ates 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 facil- ities 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 complete the project consists of removal of obstructions at various points outside the dredged area to clear the channel to full project width. The total costs and expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1947, were $67,584.96 for new work. Proposed operations.-The sum of $2,500, allotted in August 1947, 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 (September 1947) _______----------________ _ 2, 000 Total maintenance_________ --------------------- 2, 500 The additional sum of $2,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys by hired labor-------------- $500 Channel dredging by Government plant and hired labor (September 1948)------------_ _ -------------- ------------------- 2, 00 Total maintenance___---------------- 2,500, Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947--------------------------$67, 584. 96 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947------------ 67, 584. 96 Net total expenditures ------------ 67, 584. 96 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947 -- ----- 67, 584. 96 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 Cost of new work .- . . . . ----------.------ . . . . . . --------. ..- -------------- -------------- ------------ Cost of maintenance---.... - . . . -------------- --------------- ----------- -- ----------- Total expended..... . . ..--.---- --.--------- ---- ------ ------------ --------- ------------- Allotted .... ,_,,,,_,,----- ---------- .... -$15, 415.04 - --------- . -$15,415.04 -----....... .-_-----. -- 500 $2, 50 $2, 500 $, 0 -$5, -$5 000 0 RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST.

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.) Existing project.-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 feet to 50 feet, and a 6.5-foot square inside dimension concrete conduit under the dam, with a 4-foot square inside dimension concrete control tower superimposed on the conduit at the upstream toe of the dam. The res- ervoir created by the dam will have a capacity of 19,000 acre-feet. The reservoir storage capacity of 7,000 acre-feet below spillway crest will be used to provide a minimum flow of 5 second-feet to meet the water-conservation needs. Benefits of an intangible nature which would result include more adequate supply of water for fire protection; alleviation of danger of epidemic to people and livestock; extensive recreational benefits; and improvement in the general welfare and social security of the people residing near the reservoir site and in the river basin below the dam. The latest approved estimated cost (1947) to the United States for new work is $500,800. The approved estimated annual cost of main- tenance is $5,000 for operating and care of the dam. FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1455 The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 565, 78th Cong., 2d sess.) The latest published map is contained in the project document. Local cooperation.-The improvement is subject to the conditions that local interests make a cash contribution of $235,000 toward the construction cost, and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project; maintain the channel below the reservoir; make neces- sary changes in roads, bridges, and utilities; hold and save the United States free from claims for damages due to the construction works; limit future construction of dams or other works below the reservoir; and establish preventive measures to control contamination of the river. Local interests have not been formally advised in writing of the above requirements but have expressed inability to comply with the present requirements as informally outlined. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Additional studies have been carried on with funds authorized for this project. Costs for the year were $25,889 and expenditures were $23,127.83 by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work on detailed plans has been suspended pending results of the additional studies. The costs to June 30, 1947, were $25,889. Expenditures were $23,127.83. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance, $11,872.17 plus $15,000, allotted in August 1947, a total of $26,872.17, will be used dur- ing the fiscal year 1948, for accounts payable ($2,761.17) and new work, including completion of the additional studies. The additional sum of $50,600 can be profitably expended for new work, detailed plans during the fiscal year 1949.

TONGUE RIVER RESERVOIR, N. DAK. Location.-The Tongue River dam site is located on the Tongue River, about 13 miles upstream from Cavalier, N. Dak., and about 60.2 miles above the confluence of the Pembina and Tongue Rivers. Tongue River, the main tributary of the Pembina River, has its source in Cavalier County in northeastern North Dakota and flows northeasterly approximately 100 miles to join the Pembina River near the eastern boundary of North Dakota. (For general loca- tion see U. S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project.-The following features are included in the plan of improvement: An earth-fill dam, having a height of about 40 feet above the stream bed and a total length of 2,090 feet, including spillway section; the spillway section composed of steel pile cells and grouted stone, with 180-foot wide crest at an 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 latest approved estimated cost (1947) to the United States for new work is $584,000. The approved estimated annual cost of main- tenance is $5,000 for operating and care of the dam. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (H. Doc. 565, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest" published map is contained in the project document.

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 the Red Lake River at Red Lake Falls, Minn., is about 205 miles. (For general location see U. S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project.-The following features are included in the plan of improvement: Rectification and enlargement of 37.8 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 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 provide FLOOD CONTROL--ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1459 water-supply and pollution-abatement benefits to municipalities along Red Lake River, and along the Red River of the North below the mouth of Red Lake River. The latest approved estimated cost (1947) to the United States for new work is $2,736,200. The approved estimated annual cost to the United States for 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. 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 operationi; 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 River 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. Local interests have not been informed in writing of the above requirements. However, the Red Lake drainage and conservancy dis- trict has been reorganized by court order. This agency has secured options upon the required lands and has voluntarily furnished assur- ances which have been returned to them for further information. , Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preparationof detailed plans was completed and design was continued. Costs for the year were $8,384.07 for new work. Expenditures were $11,439.69. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Detailedplans are completed. De- sign is in progress. No construction work has been started. The costs to June 30, 1947, were $98,200.79. Expenditures were $98,674.03.

FLOOD CONTROL---ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1461 12. 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 35 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 64 feet above the stream bed and a length of 850 feet; a 4-foot inside diameter concrete conduit under the dam, with a 4- by 7-foot inside dimension concrete control tower superimposed on the conduit 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 17 feet below the dam crest and a trapezoidal chute with a bottom width of 150 feet. Partial flood-control protection will be afforded by the reservoir of 6,400 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, a 16-inch cast-iron pipe water-supply outlet through the dam will be provided at the request of local interests. The estimated cost (April 1947) to the United States for new work is $811,900. The estimated annual cost of maintenance is $5,200 for operating and care of the dam. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (S.Doc. 194, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Local cooperation.-The improvement is subject to the conditions that local interests make a cash contribution of $40,000 toward the construction cost, and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project; make necessary changes in roads, bridges, and utilities; main- tain the channel below the reservoir; hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; limit future con- struction of dams below the reservoir; and prevent the discharge of raw sewage into the river by municipalitiesL An additional cash contribution will be required for additional work that has been re- quested by local interests.

BALDHILL RESERVOIR, SHEYENNE RIVER, N. DAK. Location.-The Baldhill dam site is located on the Sheyenne River, 16 miles upstream from Valley City, N. Dak., and about 271 miles above the mouth. The Sheyenne River rises in central North Dakota and flows 500 miles generally southeast to enter the Red River of the North about 10 miles north of Fargo, N. Dak. (For general location see U. S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of an earth fill dam, having a height of about 57 feet above the stream bed and a total length of 1,829 feet, including a spillway- control section consisting of a concrete gravity ogee section with over- all length, including piers, of 184 feet. The crest will be at elevation 1,252 and will be surmounted by four standard design tainter gates each 40 feet long and top elevation at 1,267. A gate-controlled 3-foot diameter conduit will be provided in each of the three piers. The dam will create a reservoir of 70,700 acre-feet capacity and will control the run-off from an effective drainage area of 1,988 square miles, thereby providing a substantial degree of flood control to the cities, villages, and urban areas along the Sheyenne River and providing substantial water supply and pollution abatement 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. 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 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. 1464 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 The estimated cost (1947) to the United States for new work is $2,024,500. 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. 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 cont ributed $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; (6) 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 accordance with ,plans and regulations to be approved by the Secretary of War; (d) maintain the channels below the reservoir in satisfactory condition for the flow of water released from storage, to include the prevention of encroachments on the carrying capacity of the channel which would unduly interfere with the conveyance of floodwater; and (e) establish and enforce suitable regulations to prevent pollution of the waters of Sheyenne River. The Bureau of Reclamation and the Corps of Engineers have co- operated on studies comparing the merits of the Sheyenne Reservoir (to be constructed by the Bureau farther upstream as part of the pro- posed Missouri-Souris diversion project) with the Baldhill Reservoir. The results of these studies indicate that construction of Baldhill Reservoir will fulfill an immediate, need but would not entirely satisfy the ultimate downstream water requirements, and that the Baldhill Reservoir would also provide a measure of flood control which the Sheyenne Reservoir cannot supply because of its upstream location. Based on these results, local interests have organized the Eastern North Dakota Water Development Association which is actively co- ordinating local cooperation for the Baldhill Reservoir and is en- gaged in procuring the required cash contribution of $208,000. Al- though local interests have not been requested formally in writing to submit the necessary assurances, they are proceeding voluntarily to furnish the assurances and to place the cash contribution on deposit subject to call. The North Dakota State Water Conservation Com- mission has agreed to furnish all of the required assurances except with respect to the Fargo diversion dam and ditch which is being furnished by the city of Fargo. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Preparationof detailed plans was completed and design continued by hired labor. Prepara- tion of contract plans and specifications for first stage of construction was completed and contract bids were requested. Construction work has not been started. Costs for the year were $61,179.03 for new work by hired labor. Expenditures were $48,045.86. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Preparationof detailed plans is substantially complete. Flowage surveys and land acquisition have FLOOD CONTROI--ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1465 been initiated. Contract plans and specifications are 21 percent com- plete, those for the first stage of construction being complete. Con- struction work is expected to start in July 1947. The costs to June 30, 1947, were $71,810.38 for new work by hired labor. The expenditures were $57,709.59.

LAKE TRAVERSE AND BOIS DE SIOUX RIVER, S. DAK. AND MINN. Location.-The works covered by this project lie along Lake Tra- verse and Bois de Sioux River between the upper end of Lake Traverse at Browns Valley, Minn., and the mouth of Bois de Sioux River at Breckenridge, Minn. The lake drains through the river to the Red River of the North, and the two waters form a portion of the boundary between the State of Minnesota and the States of North and South Dakota. For general location see United States Geological Survey map of Minnesota. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for use of Lake Traverse as a flood-control and water-conservation reservoir and for channel improvement in the river below the lake. It 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 Reservoir, levees, and embankments necessary near Browns Valley, Minn., and channel improvement of approximately 24 miles of the Bois de Sioux River from the outlet of Lake Traverse northward toward Breckenridge, Minn. The dam near White Rock, S. Dak., consists of a movable-gate control section be- tween two sections of rolled fill embankment with a total length of approximately 14,400 feet from high ground on the Minnesota side FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1467 to high ground on the South Dakota side, and supplemented by chan- nel improvement of the Bois de Sioux River downstream and an em- bankment approximately 5,000 feet long at the south end of Lake Traverse for the protection of Browns Valley, Minn., constitutes the flood-control feature of the project. The structure at Reservation Highway crossing consists of a stone-paved dike spillway with super- imposed stop-log spans with total length of approximately 113 feet between steel sheet pile abutment walls behind which compacted fill connects with the existing highway, and is operated to 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 pro- tection to about 42,000 acres of agricultural land from floods up to those which may be expected to occur once in 30 years and should re- store Lake Traverse to its former natural condition as a habitat for an abundance of wildlife and fish. The latest approved estimate of cost (1937) is $1,474,000, of which $1,115,200 is for construction and $358,800 for land and damages. The latest (1944) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $9,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 22, 1936. Local cooperation.-None. Operations and results during flcal year.-Raising and surfacing of Highways 27 and 28 with some appurtenant work was completed by agreement with the State of Minnesota. Minor construction on a shop and warehouse building by hired labor is substantially com- plete. Work in connection with acquisition of necessary easements on Indian lands was continued, and easement on 8.20 acres was obtained. Costs for the year were $18,267.98 for new work, including $1,491.61 for design, $6,854.06 for land acquisition and $383.05 for miscellaneous construction, all by hired labor, and $9,539.26 for construction by contract. The White Rock Dam and Reservation control structure were oper- ated as required and the necessary repairs made thereto and to ap- purtenant works at a cost of $6,996.12, including $91.66 for real estate management. The roadway across the White Rock Dam was opened to public travel on January 17, 1947, in accordance with agreements with Tra- verse County, Minn., and Roberts County, S. Dak. The White Rock Dam and Reservation control structure were oper- ated as required in accordance with the adopted plan. Flood storage of 8,000 acre-feet from rains in July 1946 was almost entirely released. by the end of August. From July 29, 1946, through December 16, 1946, a discharge of 3 to 10 second-feet was maintained from White Rock Dam for fish life on the Bois de Sioux River. During the winter, no discharges were made and the two pools remained substantially at their normal conservation levels. Except for the period of March 23 through April 8, 1947, when approximately 10 second-feet were dis- charged from White Rock Dam, all of the flood waters from the spring run-off were stored by using about 80,000 acre-feet of the total of 137,000 acre-feet capacity available for flood control. It is estimated that the crest of the flood on the Red River of the North at Wahpeton, 766707-48-pt. 1. vol. 2--9 1468 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 N. Dak., 7.8 feet on April 12, 1947, was reduced by about 0.7 foot as the result of retaining the flood waters. Discharges varying from 150 to 920 second-feet were made from White Rock Dam from April 22 through June 30, 1947, except for the period June 13 to 17, 1947, when the dam was closed entirely to offset high discharges on the Otter Tail River. At the end of the fiscal year about 36,000 acre-feet of flood storage remained to be discharged. Total costs for the year were $25,264.10, being $18,267.98 for new work and $6,996.12 for operating and care. The expenditures were $24,660.14. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project as a whole is substantially complete except for final action on acquisition of Indian lands. Fee title to 1,278.48 acres and easements on 5,952.35 acres of land have been acquired, which has substantially completed the land and flowage acquisition. The White Rock Dam and Reservation control structure were in operation and in good condition, and the earth dams, dikes, channels, and appurtenances were in fair condition, except for erosion of a sec- tion of the reservation dike. The roadway across the White Rock Dam was opened for public travel. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1947, were $1,368,339.22, being $1,313,016.02 for new work and $55,323.20 for op- erating and care. The expenditures were $1,368,805.40. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance June 30, 1947, amounting to $23,894.60, plus accounts receivable, a total of $24,952.35, plus $18,000, allotted in August 1947, a total of $42,952.35, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1947_ ---------------------- __- - $591. 57 New work: Design------- ------------------------------ $3, 000. 00 Land acquisition___-----------------------___ 5, 000. 00 Completing miscellaneous construction --------------- 500. 00 Total new work-------------------------------------- 8, 500.00 Maintenance (operating and care): Operations___ . -------- - -- -- $8, 100. 00 Ordinary repairs_,---------____ -------- __--_ 500. 00 Improvement and reconstruction ------------------ 9, 000. 00 Real estate management -------------------------- 400. 00 18, 000. 00 Unallocated balance-_ - -------------------------------------- 15, 860. 7& Total all work -------------------------------------- 42, 952. 35" It is anticipated that the project will be completed in fiscal year 1948.

LAC QUI PARLE RESERVOIR, MINNESOTA RIVER, MINN. Location.--The works covered by this project lie along Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes and the Minnesota River between the head of Marsh Lake and Granite Falls, Minn. For general loca- tion see United States Geological Survey map of Minnesota. Existing project.-Construction of the Lac qui Parle Reservoir was initiated as a Works Progress Administration project spon- sored by the State of Minnesota, prior to its authorization as a Federal project by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The present plan of improvement provides for completion and main- 1470 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 tenarice by the War Department of the structures on Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes and the Chippewa River diversion works, sub- stantially completed by the Work Projects Administration for use of Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes as flood control and water conser- vation 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 Lac qui Parle Lake, for control of the Marsh Lake Reservoir, a dam and diversion channel near Watson, Minn., for diverting flood- waters 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 Lac qui Parle Lake and Granite Falls. The Lac qui Parle Dam, which carries a highway across the Minne- sota River, consists of a control structure of 12 bridge spans incor- porating 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, including a 90-foot grouted riprap overflow spillway. The Chippewa River flood diver- sion dam consists of a concrete fixed crest structure supporting a highway bridge, and a section of earth fill through which is provided a conduit for discharge of low water flow. The diversion channel for passing floodwaters of the Chippewa River into the Lac qui Parle Reservoir is 3,500 feet in length cut through a natural ridge separating the river and an arm of the lake 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 Lac qui Parle Lake and Granite Falls consists of rock removal and cut-offs at various locations to provide for increasing the bank-full capacity of the channel. 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. 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 in- creased low water flow downstream for agricultural interests and for sewage disposal at Granite Falls. The latest approved estimated cost to the United States for com- pletion of the project, revised in 1947, is $419,300 for construction and $532,500 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 completing an agreement with the State of Minnesota relative to land acquisition as well as negotiations with the State relative to liability for certain FLOOD CONTROL--ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1471 maintenance and damages were carried on by hired labor. Total costs for the year were $7,913.28 for new work. Expenditures were $7,369.97. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project as a whole was approximately 38 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 surfac- ing, 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 High- way; clearing portions of the reservoir area; installation of crane and bulkheads at the Lac qui Parle Dam; construction of tainter gate at Chippewa Dam; channel excavation at mile 277; and snag removal and clearing on the Minnesota River. 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 high- way use. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1947, were $356,636.96, being $350,186.20 for new work and $6,450.76 for mairitenance. The expenditures were $356,019.57.

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 Con- gress, first session, modified the project to provide for diversion of FLOOD CONTROL--ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1473 Dry Run into the Upper Iowa River, a levee system along the Upper Iowa River in Decorah for protection of adjacent property against augmented high-water flow, raising a section of railroad tracks and State Highway No. 9, and necessary alterations to bridges and pro- tection to existing structures in the vicinity. The diversion is to be accomplished by an earth dike across Dry Run at a point about 1 mile southwest of Decorah and a diversion channel 3,200 feet in length from that point through high ground to the Upper Iowa River on the north. The project will provide complete protection to residential, industrial, and commercial areas totaling about 260 acres within the city limits of Decorah against the maximum probable flood on Dry Run and against a flood on Upper Iowa River equivalent to about twice the maximum of record. Floods on Dry Run creating serious damages have occurred about once every 11 years. The estimated Federal cost for new work is $1,311,000, and the cost to local interests for lands and damages is $71,000. 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. The legislature of the State of Iowa has passed legislation enabling the city of Decorah to furnish required assurances. On April 8, 1947, the city of Decorah was formally notified of the assurances required and of the initiation of the five-year period for furnishing the assurances. Assurances have been furnished and approval thereof is pending. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Design and further studies were carried on by hired labor. The costs for the year were $22,491.35 for new work, and the expenditures were $21,046.07. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-Design and other preliminary work is substantially complete. Land line surveys have been run to deter- mine lands required to be furnished. Construction work is expected to start in August 1947. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1947, were $113,796.02 for new work. Expenditures were $111,152.81. Proposedoperations.-The unexpended balance June 30, 1947, $348,- 847.19 plus $531,000 allotted in August 1947, a total of $879,847.19, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable----------------------------------------- $2, 643. 21 New work: Hired labor: Designs ------------------------------------------ 2, 003. 98 Lands (examination of titles)-------------------------- 3, 400. 00 Construction: Initiate construction of levee on right bank of Upper Iowa River (August 1947 to June 1948) (contract)---------- 340, 800. 00 Complete levee on left bank of Upper Iowa River, complete channel improvement above mouth of Dry Run, initiate excavation of diversion channel, relocate dugway road and raise grade of Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific R.

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 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 (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 July 25,1912 Project adopted for securing a permanent navigable H.

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 1 The mileage for the Missouri River between the mouth and Three Forks, Mont., is meas- ured along the 1932 channel line from the mouth to Rulo, Nebr.; along the 1939 proposed improved channel line from Rulo to Sioux City, Iowa; along the 1930 channel line from Sioux City to Fort Benton.

The total amount contributed by local interests in cooperation with the United States from 1918 to June 30, 1947, 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 1947 was as follows: Kansas River Bend.-The American Compressed Steel Corp. placed approximately 5,000 cubic yards of stone and rubble masonry along the right bank of the Missouri River to protect about 300 linear feet of bank from erosion near mile 378.2 at a cost to June 30, 1947, of $1,500. Howard Bend.-The St. Louis County Water Co. stabilized about 40 linear feet of bank adjacent to their intake pumps by placing ap- proximately 400 cubic yards of earth-fill and paving with about 150 tons of riprap stone at a cost of $1,500. Terminal facilities.-Facilities for 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 Miles above mouth Nearest town (1932 mileage) Oil-loading facilities_------------------------------------------384. 6 Kansas City, Kans.

The total cost of new work was $1,825,911.64. In addition to completed works, there were in the process of con- struction, by contract, five lengths of revetment to total approximately 4,116 linear feet. Maintenance: This work consisted of the repair, by contract, of 289 linear feet of revetment at a total cost of $11,658.61; the accomplish- ment, by hired labor, of the following: Removal of 6,944,680 cubic yards of material from 46 localities, by U. S. dredges Black, Clark, and Mitchell, also washing by the survey boat Sergeant Floyd, at a total cost of $509,451.57; the construction of 2,526 linear feet of protection of accretion at a total cost of $15,264.61; repair of 16,632 linear feet of dikes and 67,873 linear feet of revetment, at a total cost of $830,620.76; removal of 58 snags at a cost of $4,097.67; engineering, design, and surveys, including channel surveys, in connection with maintenance work, at a total cost of $120,739.40; marking channel for navigation at a cost of $147,666.83; and stream gaging for special studies and work data at a cost of $12,072.68. The total cost of all maintenance work was $1,651,572.13.

Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 81 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year, based on the present approved estimate of cost. The physical extent of work accomplished was 1,753,738 linear feet of dikes, 1,084,766 linear feet of revetment, 29,499 linear feet of abatis, 27,493 linear feet of bank protection, 35,842 linear feet of retards, 16,561 linear feet of levees, five revetment spillways, excavation of 5,430,934 cubic yards of material in the con- struction of pilot canals, removal of 84,105 linear feet of existing structures, dredge fills totaling 1,546,493 cubic yards, removal of 432,664 cubic yards of rock, removal of 81,382,936 cubic yards of ma- terial by dredging, and removal of 3,889,167 cubic yards of material in the improvement of bank alinement. The majority of the river- improvement structures in this section that have not yet accomplished the purpose intended are in poor condition as the curtailment of work during the war and the very frequent and severe floods during and since the war had a very serious effect upon the physical condition of the project. The record flood of June 1947 took a heavy toll on these structures due to the deferment of maintenance work and the curtail- ment of new construction, leaving the structures exposed to the at- RIVERS AND HARBORS-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1483 tack of the floodwaters. In spite of the heavy toll on these river- improvement structures, they 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 re- quired to attain the project dimensions, a channel with a minimum depth of 6 feet and a minimum width of 200 feet is, in general, avail- able 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, 1947, was considerably in excess of the project depth of 9 feet due to the extreme high river stage at which time there was an average discharge at Kansas City, Mo., of 253,000 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, 1947, was as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular funds_ _ - -------------- ----- $72, 165, 497. 49 $28, 825, 699. 87 1$100, 991, 197. 36 Emergency Relief funds ________ _________-___- _ 1, 375, 243.49 133, 756. 51 1, 509, 000.00 Public Works funds ............. 6, 468, 490. 38 --...--. .........------------------------------ 6,468, 490.38 80, 009, 231. 36 28, 959, 456. 38 108, 968, 687. 74 I Excludes $235,000 advanced 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 the project is 164.7 miles, and (Osage River and Lake of the Ozarks mileage) consists of two parts, mouth to Bagnell Dam (Federal Power Commission project No. 459 at mile 75.4 above the mouth) and Bagnell Dam to legal head of navigation (immediately below Warsaw). Or- dinary 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, exclusive of the lock and dam, for open-channel work as far as the mouth of the Niangua River (107 miles above the mouth of the Osage River). The latest (1936) approved estimate of cost for annual main- tenance is $18,500, including $6,000 for operating and care of lock and dam. The following table shows the principal features of the lock and dam included in the project: Lock and dam No. 1, Osage River Nearest railroad station Osage City, Mo., 6 miles.

Mar. 4, 1904 This act declared the river not to be a navigable stream above a point which is located immediately downstream from Warsaw, Mo. June 26, 1934 1 Operating and care of the lock and dam provided for with funds from War Department appropriations for rivers and harbors. 1Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act. For latest published maps see House Document 91, Seventy-third Congress, first session. 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 whtch 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 $5,983.35, and a total expenditure of $6,159.34. There were 23 lockages for 23 small craft which passed through the lock. Condition 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 exceed- ing 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 81.8. Navi- gation 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 26, 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 26 to Bagnell Dam is 2 feet and drafts in excess of 18 inches are not 1488 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 confluence with the main stem of the lake. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1947, was $1,285,- 361.71 from regular funds, of which $658,075.71 was for new work, $543,847.22 was for maintenance, and $83,438.78 was for operation and care of the lock and dam. The total expenditures were $1,285,- 547.93 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.-Accountsreceivable of $186.22 together with an allotment in August 1947 of $6,800, will be applied 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, 861. 22 Ordinary maintenance and repairs (less rental)_ -------- _--- - 125. 00 Total maintenance___--_--_---------------_-------_ 6, 986. 22 The additional sum of $7,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, as follows: Maintenance (July 1, 1948, to June 30, 1949) (operation and care): Operation of lock and dam__ _________ _______________---$7, 010 Ordinary maintenance and repair (less rental) -------------------- -10 Total maintenance_ _____-------------_----- 7, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947-___ ------- __________ - $658, 075. 71 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947_ ---------------- 817, 847. 10 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947-----... 1, 475, 922. 81 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1947----- --------------- _ 186. 22 Gross total costs to June 30, 1947--------------------1, 476, 109. 03 Net total expenditures------------------------------- --- 1, 476, 109. 03 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947 ----------------- 1, 476, 109. 03 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 cost of new work..........................------- ...----------..............--- Cost of maintenance-------------$6, 751.41 $12,961.99 $5,398, 66 $5, 653.17 $5, 983.35 Total expended................... 6, 797.20 13,236.01 5,314. 72 5, 364. 30 6, 159.34 Allotted....------------------------ 7,000.00 7, 850.)0 9,200.00 6,000.)0 ___-_ . ___ RIVERS AND HARBORS-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1489 Balance unexpended July 1, 1946 ---------------------------- $6, 159. 34 Gross amount expended_ _ --------------------------- 6, 159. 34 Accounts receivable June 30, 1947_------------------------- 186. 22 Unobligated balance available June 30, 1947 ------------------ 186. 22 Amount allotted in August 1947---_- _______------ 6, 800. 00 Unobligated balance available for fiscal year 1948_..--- 6, 986. 22 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, for maintenance 1_---_-__-_-_-- 7, 000. 00 1Exclusive of available funds. 4.

KAN'SAS' 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 6 miles up and 91/2 miles down the Missouri River and 91/2miles up the Kansas River. Existing 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; FLOOD CONTROL-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1495 Armourdale; Central Industrial; Fairfax-Jersey Creek; North Kan- sas City; East Bottoms; channel improvement, Kansas River; bridge and approach alterations, Kansas River; channel improvement, Mis- souri River; floodway improvement, Missouri River; Birmingham; Blue Valley Industrial; and Liberty Bend cut-off. The existing project was authorized by the following flood-control acts Acts Work authorized Documents June 22,1936 Levees and flood walls for the protection of the Kansas H. Doc. 195, 73d Cong., 2d sess. Citys at an estimated construction cost not to exceed $10,000,000, estimated cost of lands and damages, $8,000,000. Dec. 22,1944 Modified and extended the project to provide con- H. Doe. 342, 78th Cong., 1st sess. struction of cut-offs and protection for additional areas at an estimated additional cost of $8,445,000. July 24, 1946 Authorized the Chief of Engineers to include neces- sary railroad bridge and approach alterations as a Federal responsibility. The estimated cost, revised in 1946, is $34,500,000 of which $31,533,- 000 is the Federal cost and $2,967,000 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 as .approximately 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 1 near the center of the district, however, there is an indication of sand boils during high river stages, and it is proposed to install necessary facilities to control this situation. Arnourdale unit.-The earth levee along the left bank of the Kansas River from mIile 6.7 to mile 2.8' is of sufficient height to provide protection from the design flood: The project provides for construction of a new levee and short lengths of flood wall to replace the existing flood wall along the left bank of the Kansas River from mile 2.8 to 1.9; 1 reconstructing and raising the existing flood wall from mile 1.9 to 1.1;a raising the existing level and replacing a portion of the existing flood wall from mile 1.1 to 0.7; 1 and construction of new flood wall including the replacement of a short section of existing wall from mile 0.7 to 0.3.1 The downstream end of the new wall would connect with the southern terminus of the existing Fairfax district levee. Central Industrialunit.-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 upstream along the right bank of the Missouri River to the mouth of the Kansas River, mile 378.8,2 a distance of 1.9 miles, and thence upstream along the right bank of the Kansas River to mile 3.4,1 in the vicinity of the Seventh Street Bridge, a total distance of 5.3 miles. The plan of 1Above mouth of Kansas River. sAbove mouth of Missouri River. 1496 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 improvement contemplates the construction of concrete flood walls and earth levees to protect the portion of the unit lying in the State of Missouri, and the raising of existing structures and construction of new concrete flood walls and earth levees to protect the portion of this unit located in the State of Kansas. Fairfax-JerseyCreek unit.-About 30,900 feet of earth levee, 1,981 feet of concrete flood walls, and 32,100 feet of bank-protection works, extending along the right bank of the Missouri River from a point immediately above the Kansas City, Kans., water and light plant (mile 385.3)2 downstream to the mouth of the Kansas River, thence along the left bank of the Kansas River to the vicinity of the inter- city viaduct (mile 0.3);1 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. 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 waterworks, a distance of about 1.6 miles. The plan of improvement consists of raising and realifiement of existing levees and a railroad embankment and the construction of new earth levees and a concrete flood wall to protect the city of North Kansas City, Mo., and the municipal airport and waterworks for the city of Kansas City, Mo. The total length of the proposed 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," 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. The proposed improvements will consist of levees and a flood wall and appurtenances. The plan also contemplates necessary rectification of the Big Blue River channel near the mouth of this stream. 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 Railway 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 Rail- road bridge (mile 0.84) 1 to the mouth; and removal of major obstruc- tions from the bed of the main channel of the Kansas River between the Argentine bridge (mile 5.13)' and the mouth. Bridge and approach alterations, Kansas River unit.-In order to permit the free passage of drift during flood periods, it is contemplated that all bridges across the Kansas River between mile 5.13 and the SAbove mouth of Kansas River. a Above mouth of Missouri River. FLOOD CONTROL-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1497 mouth which do not now provide adequate floodway will be raised above the design flood profile. This would involve the permanent raising of four highway and three railroad bridges, and provision of facilities for the temporary raising during flood periods of three 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 addition, excavation of the abandoned overbank area between the North Kansas City levee and the present channel to approximately low-water elevation is con- templated. Replacement of the left-bank approach fills to the Armour-Swift-Burlington and Hannibal bridges by approach spans is provided in the plans and is 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 proposed 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, various upstream sections of the Birmingham levee, be- tween mile 371.7 and mile 365.5,2 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-o.--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 358.5 ;2 a second cut-off chan- nel from mile 358.5 to mile 357 ;2 and the construction of a new highway bridge where the main cut-off channel intersects United States High- way No. 71 (bypass) which at present crosses the Missouri River north of the proposed cut-off at mile 361.2 Local cooperation.-See page 7 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.

BARTLEY, MISSOURI RIVER BASIN, NEBR. Location.-This project is located on the left bank of the Republican River at Bartley, Red Willow County, Nebr., and on the left bank of Dry Creek near its junction with the Republican River. Existing project.-The plan of improvement contemplates the alter- ation of railroad and highway bridges, the construction of approxi- mately 6,150 feet of levee on the left bank of Dry Creek, and improve- ment of a section of existing channel and construction of a new channel downstream to the Republican River. The project was selected for construction under the provisions of the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941, which provides for construction of such other supple- mental flood-control works on the Republican River as the Secretary of War and the Chief of Engineers may find advisable. The estimated cost of the proposed improvements is $1.55,000, of which $96,000 would be Federal cost and $59,000 would be the cost to local interests. Local cooperation.--$ee page 7 for requirements. These require- ments have not been met; however, local interests have indicated an interest in the early construction of the project. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the project. Propos.ed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed for fiscal year 1948. Funds in the amount of $96,000 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1949 for preparation of contract plans and specifications and to complete construction of the project. 1508 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

HARLAN COUNTY RESERVOIR, MISSOURI RIVER BASIN, NEBR. Location.-The proposed dam site for the Harlan County Reservoir is located on the main stem of the Republican River approximately' 235 miles above the confluence of the stream with the Smoky Hill River. The site is located in Harlan County, Nebr., about 3 miles east of Republican City, Nebr., and 13 miles west of Franklin, Nebr. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of an earth-fill dam, with a height of about 106 feet above the stream bed and a total length of 11,950 feet including a gate-con- trolled concrete-gravity type spillway section located near the center of the dam. The reservoir will provide for 850,000 acre-feet of storage, of which 500,000 acre-feet will be used for flood control and 350,000 acre-feet for irrigation and sedimentation allowance. The reservoir will control the run-off from approximately 83 percent of the drainage area of the Republican River and would afford complete control for all floods of record. It is contemplated that the Harlan County Reservoir will be oper- ated to provide protection from floods on the Republican River to small communities and agricultural land lying within the flood plain below the dam and in combination with proposed reservoirs to be located on other major tributaries of the Kansas River to reduce flood heights at the Kansas Citys. The reservoir will also be operated to provide storage for the irrigation of 86,700 acres of land below the dam. 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 Control Committee Doc. 1, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), as modified by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. 842, 76th Cong., 3d sess.) to in- clude this project, and expanded by the Flood Control Act, approved December 22, 1944 (H. Doc. 475, and S. Does. 191 and 247, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost, revised in 1947, is $41,200,000, of which $27,961,250 is for construction and $13,238,750 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Constructionof the proj- ect was initiated during the fiscal year under a continuing contract for construction of the first stage of the dam embankment. Work under this contract was approximately 42 percent complete and con- sisted of the excavation of 1,060,190 cubic yards of material, placing FLOOD CONTROL---KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1509 of 224,743 cubic yards of impervious fill, 249,231 cubic yards of random fill and 270,110 cubic yards of pervious fill in the embankment and 98,693 cubic yards of fill in the upstream and downstream berm and levees, which will be included in the berms. These levees were con- structed to protect the site of construction operations from floods on the Repubhcan River. However, a flood on the Republican River during June 1947 overtopped the upstream levee and caused con- siderable damage to the work in place. The cost of work under this contract was $540,675.23. Construction of a temporary bridge across the channel of the Re- publican River was advanced to about 97 percent of completion at a cost of $158,704.95 prior to destruction of a portion of the bridge and approach fill by the flood of June 1947. A contract for expert engineering services in connection with the preparation of contract plans and specifications for construction of townsite facilities was completed during the fiscal year at a cost of $5,442.40. Construction of the first stage of the town was initiated under contract at a total cost during the fiscal year of $57,713.95. Work under this contract was approximately 13 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year and consisted of laying water and sewer lines, construction of roads, and starting construction of the buildings. An agreement for the preparation of plans and construction to relocate roads and highways within the reservoir area was entered into with the State of Nebraska and the county of Harlan, of that State. Operations have not been initiated under this continuing contract. The operations by hired labor consisted of the acquisition of 1,269 acres of land for the dam site at a cost of $107,590.28 and engineering studies and the preparation of plans and specifications for construction at a total cost during the fiscal year of $230,935.01. The total cost during the fiscal year, all new work, was $1,101,061.82, and the total expenditures were $1,084,253.83. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was approximately 4 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year based on the presently authorized estimated cost. The acquisition of land was about 4 percent complete. Construction of the first stage of embankment, first stage of town-site facilities and a temporary construction bridge across the river channel was under way and an agreement has been entered into for the relocation of roads and highways. Construction of the dam embankment has involved the excavation of 1,060,190 cubic yards of material, the placement of 224,743 cubic yards of impervious fill, 249,231 cubic yards of random fill and 270,110 cubic yards of pervious fill in the dam embankment and 98,693 cubic yards of fill in the up- stream and downstream berm and levees. A flood on the Republican River during June 1947 caused extensive damage to the temporary construction bridge and to excavation and fill operations in the right bank embankment area. The total cost (all new work) of the existing project to June 30, 1947, was $1,560,776.33 (including undistributed costs of $10,022.21) and the expenditures were $1,518,620.31. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $884,379.69, ac- counts receivable of $15,369.73, and an allotment in August 1947 of 1510 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

EMERGENCY FLOOD-CONTROL WORK UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE FLOOD CONTROL ACT APPROVED AUGUST 18, 1941 The Flood Control Act approved Aigust 18,1941, as modified by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946, authorized the allotment from flood-control appropriations of not to exceed $2,000,000 for any one fiscal year to be expended in rescue work, or in the repair or maintenance of any flood-control work threatened or destroyed by flood. Pursuant to this act, the amount of $306,076.46 was allotted to the Kansas City district for emergency repairs and rescue work during the fiscal years 1943 and 1944 ($93,552.63 of this amount was revoked during July 1944), and the sum of $312,929.42 ($125,000 of this amount was revoked during February 1947) was allotted for emergency re- pairs to levees and flood fighting and rescue work necessitated by re- curring spring floods during the spring of 1945 and the spring and fall of 1946. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Emergency repairs were made to levees along the entire length of the Missouri River from Rule, Nebr., to the mouth and on the several large tributaries emptying into the main stem of the Missouri River in the Kansas City district. This work involved the placement of 37,076 cubic yards of earth fill at 22 localities, by hired labor, at a cost of $34,469.56.

EMERGENCY FLOOD-CONTROL WORK UNDER AUTHORITY OF PUB- LIC LAWS NOS. 138 AND 318, SEVENTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS, 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 during the spring months of 1943, 1944, 1945 and 1947, Con- gress, in the acts approved July 12, 1943, Public, No. 138, Seventy- eighth Congress; May 29, 1944, Public, No. 318, Seventy-eighth Con- gress; June 5, 1945, Public, No. 75, Seventy-ninth Congress, and the act approved June 23, 1947, Public, No. 102, Eightieth Congress, authorized the amounts of $10,000,000, $12,000,000, $12,000,000, and $15,000,000, respectively, to be appropriated as emergency funds to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of War and the super- vision 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. Funds have been allocated for emergency repair work and flood fighting and rescue work in the Kansas City district as follows: Fiscal year Authorizing acts Amount 1944------------------------ July 12, 1943--.-------- -------- ----------------- $1,951,000 1945-- - -------------- May 29, 1944 .--------------------------------- 2,037,000 1945-----.......------------------.....................

S. ARMY, 1947 Local cooperation.--Localinterests have contributed the amount of $111,842.98 toward the cost of emergency repairs to levees in this district damaged during the floods of 1943. Operations and results during fiscal year.--A bank protection mat- tress approximately 1,160 feet long was constructed on the North Kansas City levee district levee in order to protect the toe of the levee from erosion, near Missouri River mile 375. This work was accom- plished by hired labor at a cost of $15,007.47. Expenses in connection with flood fighting and rescue work were liquidated at a cost of $792.53. The total cost and expenditures during the fiscal year were $15,800 (including cost and expenditure of $800 from contributed funds). Record floods were experienced during June 1947 on the main stem of the Missouri River within the Kansas City district and on several of the large tributaries emptying into the Missouri River in this area. Condition at end of fiscal year.--Practicallyall levees constructed by local levee and drainage districts and other local interests failed due to the high river stage and the long period of time during which the river was above flood stage. The total costs and expenditures for all work to June 30, 1947, were $4,448,000 (exclusive of $111,842.98 con- tributed funds). Proposed operations.-The allotments received in August and Sep- tember 1947 totaling $2,264,500 will be applied during the fiscal year 1948 to the restoration and repair of levees damaged or destroyed by recent floods and for which requests have been received from local interests, and for the liquidation of costs incurred in connection with flood fighting and rescue work. The additional sum of $250,000 could be profitably expended dur- ing fiscal year 1949 for restoration and repair of damaged levees. Cost and financial summary UNITED STATES FUNDS.

MISSOURI RIVER, KANSAS CITY TO SIOUX CITY Location.-The Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri River, which flows southeasterly 2,464.4 miles across or along seven States to the Mississippi River, 17 miles above St. Louis. The river is the boundary between the States of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. For description, see page 1149, Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects.--Under the River and Harbor Act of August 14, 1876, the first regulation works were constructed at St. Joseph and Nebraska City, but a project for systematic river improvement was not adopted until August 2, 1882, modified by the River and Harbor Acts of July 5, 1884. September 19, 1890, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1893, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1175, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel of 9-foot depth and width not less than 300 feet, to be obtained by revetment of banks, construction of permeable dikes to contract and stabilize the waterway, cut-offs to eliminate long bends, closing of minor channels, removal of snags and dredging as required. Length of section under improve- ment (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 authorized Documents 1 Jan. 21,1927 Appropriation of $12,000,000 authorized for the exist- H.

Terminal facilities.-At Leavenworth, Kans., approximately 3,000 feet above the railroad bridge, there is a grain elevator owned by private interests. The facilities for loading grain onto barges are not connected with the elevator but can be readily connected and put into operation when required. At Brownville, Nebr., plans are under preparation and site pur- chased by Hart-Bartlett-Sturtevant Grain Co., Kansas City, Mo., for a grain elevator. The terminal will have highway and railway connections. RIVERS AND HARBORS---OMAHA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1533 At Nebraska City, Nebr., at approximate mile 579.6, the Nebraska City Dock Board has completed a 50,000-cubic-yard-fill for river-front improvement protected by stone riprap. The Western Elevator Co. of Kansas City, Mo., has in operation a million-bushel grain elevator. The terminal facilities are served by two railroads and paved 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., at approximate mile 632.3, the city has completed a temporary dock, loading platform (20 by 100 feet) and a railroad spur track to the dock. Handling and storage facilities are provided. Plans are being made and bonds have been voted in the amount of $250,000 for permanent facilities at this site. The facilities will be served by 14 railroads and paved highways and will be open for gen- eral public use. 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 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 aproximate mile 759. It is planned to construct a sheet-steel ware- house 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, Council Bluffs, Blencoe, and California Junction, Iowa. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce.

S. ARMY, 1947 changes at a cost of $4,109.40; and the accomplishment of engineering, design, and surveys, at a total cost of $72,610.24. The total cost of new work all prosecuted with regular funds, was $2,967,434.43. In addition to completed works, there is in progress of construction, by contract, one dike to total about 331 linear feet, and two pieces of revetment to total about 2,007 linear feet. Maintenance: This work consisted of repair and replacement, by contract, of 4,741 linear feet of pile dikes, and 3,643 linear feet of revetment, at a total cost of $305,856.29; the accomplishment, by hired labor, of repair or replacement of 14,392 linear feet of pile dikes, 47,195 linear feet of revetment, and 1,750 linear feet of impermeable structures; construction of 744 linear feet of rock-filled dike by place- ment of 12,641 tons of stone; strengthening of 9,293 linear feet of pile dikes and 2,078 linear feet of pile revetment by placement of 31,456 tons of rock fill; construction of three rock and brush baffle dikes total- ing 346 linear feet; strengthening 116 linear feet of pile dikes and 385 linear feet of pile revetment; construction of 514 linear feet of bank protection mattress; and the stabilization of 7,396 linear feet of ac- creted bank line on the permanent alinement by the placement of cast paving, at a total cost of $809,158.69; and removal of 8,240 cubic yards of material from two localities by draglines, at a total cost of $2,317.04. The cost of engineering, design, and surveys in connection with hired labor maintenance work was $58,287.71. Other miscellaneous costs all charged to maintenance, were: Stream gaging for special studies and working data at a cost of $9,050.71, removal of 139 snags at a cost of $2,992.27 and navigation aids at a cost of $17,042.39. The total cost of all maintenance, prosecuted with regular funds, was $1,204,705.10. The total cost for the fiscal year was $4,1.72,139.53 of which $2,967,- 434.43 was for new work and $1,204,705.10 for maintenance. The ex- penditures were $4,119,443.06, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The work on the entire project Kansas City, Mo. (upper end of Quindaro Bend), to Sioux City, Iowa, was approximately 74 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year, based on the present approved estimate of cost. Kansas City, Mo., to Rubo, Nebr.-The work between Kansas City, Mo. (upper end of Quindaro Bend), and Rulo, Nebr., was approxi- mately 82 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The ma- jority of the river-improvement structures in this section that are subject to direct attack of the river are in poor state of repair due to curtailment of work during the war and the very frequent and severe floods during and since the war. The war curtailment and floods have had a very serious effect upon the physical condition of this section of the project. The record flood of June 1947 took a heavy toll on these structures due to the deferment of maintenance work and the curtailment of new construction leaving the structures exposed to the attack of the flood waters. At moderate stages of the river a channel with a minimum depth of 6 feet is available throughout this section. The controlling depth throughout this section of the river on June 30, 1947, was considerably RIVERS AND HARBORS-OMAHA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1535 in excess of the project depth of 9 feet due to the extreme high river stage at which time there was an average discharge at St. Joseph, Mo., of 180,000 cubic feet per second. The practical draft at ordinary stages of the river is 6 feet. Commercial navigation was inaugurated on this section of the river in May 1939. During the war years such navigation declined until October 1946 when common carrier trans- portation service was inaugurated. The work remaining to be done to complete this section of the project consists principally of the construction of additional dikes and revetment. Rulo to Omaha, Nebr.-The work between Rule, Nebr., and Omaha, Nebr., was approximately 77 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. However, project alinement, which had been virtually attained throughout this entire section in 1942, is now being lost at an alarming rate due to natural deterioration of the structures coupled with cur- tailment of work during the war, inadequate funds for new work and maintenance since the war, and several extreme high waters. Complete loss of alinement has occurred in various sections and the resulting erosion and shifting of the channel is threatening systems downstream from the failed sections. In some localities the channel has deteriorated to such an extent that navigation is no longer possible in the designed channel but is shoreward of the designed alinement or through a back chute. 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 with the exception of those lo- calities where alinement has been lost. The practical draft for this entire section at ordinary stages of the river is 51/2 feet. Commercial navigation has existed in this section since May 1939. During the war years commercial navigation declined until October 1946 when com- mon carrier transportation was inaugurated. Omaha, Nebr., to Sioux City, Iowa.-The work between Omaha, Nebr., and Sioux City, Iowa, was approximately 65 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. Loss of alinement and progressive de- struction of control works is in progress in various parts of this section of the river, due to natural deterioration of the structures coupled with curtailment of work during the war, inadequate funds for new work and maintenance since the war, and several extreme high waters. In addition, other losses are occurring due to concave banks being unprotected at the time of curtailment of work. Work possible with the limited funds available during the fiscal year has made some progress toward the restoration of the channel at the particular locations to which applied but losses at other locations have been such that very little improvement of the channel for the section as a whole has resulted. Channel conditions limits practical drafts during ordinary navigable discharges to 31/2 feet and short radius bends may be expected in the portions where the river is wild. Under the existing project for systematic work on the 9-foot channel, the work accomplished includes 962,010 linear feet of revetment for permanently fixing the banks, 2,131,059 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 1536 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

MISSOURI RIVER, SIOUX CITY, IOWA, TO FORT BENTON, MONT. Location.-See page 1532. Through this section the river flows across the States of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, forming 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 re- moval of snags and rocks from the channel and in bank protection at various locations between Sioux City, Iowa, and Fort Benton, Mont. Since the expiration of the 5-year limit, funds have been expended for snagging and maintenance of structures. The length of section in- cluded in the projects is 1,440.4 miles and consists of two parts: Sioux .City, Iowa, to Fort Peck Dam, Mont. (mile 1,868.7), 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. 91, 62d Cong., is sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-Works for the benefit of the public-constructed by private interests were: Pierre, S. Dak.: The city is constructing a bulkhead and fill along the left bank, at mile 1,174 (1890 mileage). The work is about 60 per- cent complete with 1,200 linear feet of fill and bulkhead in place. No work was accomplished this year. Cost data is not available. Chamberlain, S. Dak.: The Department of the Interior has com- pleted 11,085 feet of revetment on the right bank, near Chamberlain. All work under permit has been completed. Cost data is not available, inasmuch as Civilian Conservation Corps labor was utilized. Sioux City, Iowa: The city has completed eight pile dikes totaling 5,247 linear feet and a dredge fill along the left bank of the Missouri River between mile 762.2 and mile 761.3 (1941 mileage) at a total cost of $363,789.33. Terminal facilities.-The facilities are considered adequate for exist- ing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance work was accomplished during the year at a cost of $184.66. The expenditures during the fiscal year were $191.66. Conditionat 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS--OMAHA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1541 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 a small amount of repair to existing works. From April to October, inclusive, drafts of 30 inches are practicable to Pierre, 26 inches to the 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. The cost of new work under the existing project to June 30,1947, was $516,484.77, and the cost of maintenance was $425,868.44, a total of $942,353.21. The expenditures were $942,353.21. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $2,588.37 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 1949.

Dak., about 11 miles south of Garrison, N. Dak., and 9 miles west of Coleharbor, N. Dalk. The site is 1,454.1 miles above the mouth of the river and 76 miles above Bismarck, N. Dak. Existing project.-The project plan provides for the construction of a dam and reservoir for flood control, irrigation, navigation, hydro- electric power and other purposes. The dam will be a rolled earth-fill structure with a crest length of 12,000 feet and a maximum height of 210 feet. The spillway will be controlled by 29 tainter crest gates 29 feet high and 40 feet long located in the east abutment. Reinforced concrete outlet works containing five power tunnels and two flood- control tunnels will be located in the west abutment. A hydroelectric power generating plant will be located adjacent to the outlet works.

Releases for these purposes also served the needs of water supply and stream sanitation along the Missouri River below the dam. The flood control effect of the reservoir was particularly noteworthy in March 1947, when the impoundment of unusually high inflows sub- stantially reduced flood heights along the Missouri River from the dam to the mouth. The power plant was shut down on July 1, 1946, and from May 11 to 28, 1947, in connection with the installation of power unit No. 2. During the remainder of the fiscal year hydro- electric power production amounted to approximately 204,347,000 kilowatt-hours. Total releases from the reservoir during the fiscal year amount to about 5,590,000 acre-feet, equivalent to a mean annual flow of about 7,720 cubic feet per second. Miscellaneous operations.-Cost amounting to $4,556.79 was in- 1586 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 curred in connection with the Government-owned railroad. Rental of facilities to the Bureau of Reclamation resulted in a net cost of minus $54,501.80 for the electrical distribution system during the year. Proceeds from the sale of surplus materials exceeded the cost incurred in connection with demobilization operations by $25,451.78. Operating and care.-In addition to operating and care of the dam, power plant, tunnels, spiTlway, reservoir, and camp, repair of the main shaft lining in tunnel No. 2 and installation of permanent pres- sure relief well system by contract was completed. Recreationaldevelopment.-The master plan for recreational devel- opment of the reservoir was completed and work was started on planning for initial facilities. The cost of this work was $15,116.84 for the fiscal year. The total cost of new work during the fiscal year was $1,554,368.05 power plant funds and $830,741.78 regular funds, a total of $2,385,- 109.83. The cost of operating and care was $392,364.91 regular funds; reimbursement from the Bureau of Reclamation for pro rata share of the cost of operating and care of the power plant and distribution of pro rata share of camp operation cost to new work reduced the net cost to $307,434.46. The total expenditures were $1,685,668.39 power plant fu s aaid $1,940;495 .8 regular funds, a total of $3,026,164.22.

HOT SPRINGS, FALL RIVER BASIN, S. DAK. Location.--Hot Springs, in Fall River County, S. Dak., is situated on both sides of Fall River, immediately south of the junction of Cold Brook and Hot Brook, which combine to form Fall River. Existing project.-The project was authorized by the Flood Control FLOOD CONTRO--FORT PECK, MONT., DISTRICT 1605 Act approved August 18, 1941, as a unit of the general plan of flood protection on the Fall River and tributaries, South Dakota, sub- stantially in accordance with the recommendation of the Chief of Engineers in House Document 655, Seventy-sixth Congress, third session. The general plan of improvement provides for the protec- tion from flood damage of the people and property of the town of Hot Springs, S. Dak. The plan of improvement at Hot Springs pro- vides for the widening, deepening, and straightening of the present channel of Fall River from a point near the confluence of Hot Brook and Cold Brook to a point 400 feet below Eighth Street Bridge or a total distance of approximately 6,000 feet. Clearing of trees, boulders, concrete slabs, and all obstructions to flow is provided for. The estimated Federal cost, revised in 1947, is $1,004,400; the esti- mated local cost, revised in 1947, is $138,200. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. In addition to the usual requirements for local cooperation as provided by law, local interests are required to bear the expense of bridge modifica- tions and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will take such measures as may be necessary to prevent any encroachments upon the flood-channel capacities to be provided by the improvements. The assurances of local cooperation were approved by the Secretary of War, May 18, 1946. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-Contractplans and specifications were completed during the year, the cost of which was $27,646.31, all hired labor. The project was placed under contract for construction; the cost of preliminary work in connection with con- struction was $8,003.91. The total project cost during the year was $35,650.22 and the expenditures were $38,477.31. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Field investigations were under way to determine extent of damage to project area and existing works as a result of a flash flood on June 20, 1947. Survey lines are being reestablished. The cost to June 30, 1947, was $86,549.25, regular funds, and the expenditures were $86,408.25. Proposed operations.--Work will be initiated under existing con- struction contract for improvements to Fall River Channel. The balance unexpended of $600,591.75 and an allotment of $200,000 re- ceived during August 1947, a total of $800,591.75, will be applied during the fiscal year 1948 as follows.

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. 766707-48-pt. 1, vol. 2 -18 1611 1612 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 outlet works is designed to fully comply with local conditions. The estimated cost of the initial project for flood control only, revised in 1947, is $18,747,500 for construction and $752,500 for lands and damages, a total of $19,500,000. 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 au- thorized by flood control acts as follows: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 18,1941 The initiation and partial accomplishment of the H.

Doc. 475, 78th Cong., 2d sess.; S. Doc. 191, 78th Cong., 2d sess.; S. Doc. 247, 78th Cong., 2d sess. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Construction of the impervious earth cut-off, revision of construction plans and specifica- tions to comply more fully with local conditions, additional founda- tion explorations for the enlarged outlet works, further borrow inves- tigations, and preparation of the plans and specifications for the service gates were completed. Preliminary work and work in con- nection with acquisition of lands needed for first year construction were continued. Construction.of the outlet works was initiated. Re- locations of the highway and certain utilities were deferred until fiscal year 1948. The total cost during the fiscal year was $1,426,199.69, all for new work; expenditures were $1,442,412.34. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 10 percent complete. Negotiations for relocation of the communication lines were nearing completion. Model studies of the outlet stilling basin and test embankment studies were initiated. Work remaining to be done consists of preliminary work; completion of the outlet works and appurtenances; construction of the dam embankment and the spillway canal; acquisition of remaining borrow, reservoir and spillway canal areas; relocation of highway and public utilities; and miscellaneous items of work such as landscaping, erection of care- taker's quarters, and construction of access roads. The total cost to June 30, 1947, was $1,791,621.61; all for new work; expenditures were $1,810,159.33. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $1,420,540.67 plus accounts receivable, $17,962.89, in addition to an allotment of $4,300,000 made in August 1947, a total of $5,738,503.56, will be ap- plied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, as follows: FLOOD CONTROL--DENVER, COLO., DISTRICT 1613 Accounts payable to June 30, 1947 ....--------------------------- $5, 578. 34 New work: Preliminary work by hired labor (July 1, 1947, to June 30, 1948)-------------------------------------------- 40, 000. 00 Continuation of construction of outlet works by contract (July 1, 1947, to June 30, 1948) ---------------------- 2, 009, 628. 14 Supply of service gates by contract -- _------- ----- _ _ 184, 250. 00 Supply of outlet works appurtenances by contract ----- 13, 200. 00 Construction of embankment to elevation 5,555 by contract- 2, 408, 747. 08 Partial construction of the spillway canal--------- - - - 658, 000. 00 Completion of acquisition of borrow and dam construction areas (July 1, 1947, to June 30, 1948) ------ 116, 600. 00 Relocation of communication lines-_- ------------------- 20, 000. 00 Relocation of highway--------------------------------- 66, 000. 00 Spillway bridge-------------------------------------- 110, 000. 00 Relocation of gas pipe line------------------------------ 84, 000. 00 Relocation of power line ------------------------------- 22, 500. 00 Total for all work------------------.....--------------- 5, 738, 503. 56 The additional sum of $9,500,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 as follows: New work: Preliminary work (hired labor)-----------------------------$25, 000 Continuation of embankment construction (contract) - __-- 7, 700, 000 Acquisition of reservoir lands (hired labor) -------------------- 275, 000 Clearing and grubbing reservoir area (hired labor) 25, 000 Overhead and engineering, and miscellaneous work (hired labor)_ 650, 000 Completion of spillway canal construction (contract) - -- 825, 000 Total for new work--------------- ------------------- 9, 500, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947_ ------------------------ $1, 791, 621. 61 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947--------------------... -------.---.-- Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947---------......... 1, 791, 621. 61 Undistributed costs June 30, 1947 -------------------------- 6, 153. 17 Net total cost to June 30, 1947- ---.- - --------- 1, 797, 774. 78 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1947---------------------- 17, 962. 89 Gross total costs to June 30, 1947-.---- ----------- 1, 815, 737. 67 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1947------------ ------.. 5, 578. 34 Net total expenditures----------------------------- 1, 810, 159. 33 Unexpended balance June 30, 1947.....------------------------- 1, 420, 540. 67 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947----------- 3, 230, 700. 00 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 Cost of new work $116, 194.50 $117, 535. 19 ...--------------.............. $92,367.43 $39, 324.80 $1, 426, 199. 69 Cost of maintenance-------------------------------------- --------------------------- Total expended-. .--------------- 115, 860.63 119, 944. 09 91, 110. 68 40, 831. 59 1, 442, 412.34 Allotted.......---------------------- 185, 000.00 80. 000.00 97. 200.00 2, 868, 500. 00 . . 1614 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

MORRISON, BEAR CREEK, COLO.. Location.-This project is located on Bear Creek at Morrison, Colo. 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 im- provement consists of straightening and widening both channels, con- structing riprap revetment along Bear Creek and constructing con- crete flood walls along Mount Vernon Creek. The estimated Federal cost for construction, revised in 1947, is $343,000, and the estimated local cost, revised in 1947, is $6,000 for lands and damages. 'he existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 356, 78th Cong., 1st sess. which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Seepage 7 for requirements. As a part of the requirements for local cooperation as provided 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 co- operation. Formal assurances have not been requested. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Studies preliminary to the preparation of the project plans and specifications were initiated at a cost during the fiscal year of $1,311.24, all for new work; expendi- tures were $1,309.30. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-Preliminarystudies of the standard project flood and type of channel improvement required were initiated.

OHIO RIVER For the actual construction of locks and dams and the operation and care of the completed structures the river is divided into three sections under the immediate supervision and direction of district engineers at Pittsburgh, Huntington, and Louisville. The Pittsburgh section extends from the head of the river at Pitts- burgh, Pa., to a point between Captina Island and Powhatan Point, a distance of 109 miles, and includes Emsworth, Dashields, and Mont- gomery locks and dams, and locks and dams 7 to 13, inclusive; the Huntington section extends from mile 109 to mile 409.3, immediately downstream from Aberdeen, Ohio, a distance of 300.3 miles, and in- cludes locks and dams 14 to 23, inclusive, Gallipolis locks and dams, and locks and dams 27 to 33, inclusive; the Louisville section extends from mile 409.3, immediately downstream from Aberdeen, Ohio, to the mouth of the river, a distance of 571.7 miles, and includes locks and dams 34 to 39, inclusive, locks and dam 41 (with the Louisville and Portland Canal) and locks and dams 43 to 53, inclusive. Pur- suant to General Orders 23 (Office, Chief of Engineers) dated October 24, 1946 (as modified by General Order 26 dated December 5, 1946), the Cincinnati, Ohio, district was discontinued effective January 1, 1947, and its territory and corresponding duties and functions reas- signed to the Huntington and Louisville districts. As a result of this change, the boundary of the Huntington district was moved westward to include the drainage basin of the Ohio River and its tributaries from mile 317.5 to mile 409.3, and the boundary of the Louisville dis- trict was moved eastward to include the drainage basin of the Ohio River and its tributaries from mile 556.2 upstream to mile 409.3. Locks and dams 29 to 39, formerly in the Cincinnati district, were reassigned as follows: 29 to 33, inclusive-Huntington district; 34 to 39, inclusive-Louisville district. District engineers: At Pittsburgh, Pa., Col. W. E. Lorence, Corps of Engineers; Huntington, W. Va., Col. F. W. Gano, Corps of Engi- neers, through December 2, 1946, and Col. A. M. Neilson, Corps of Engineers, since that date; Louisville, Ky., Col. B. B. Talley, Corps of Engineers. (District engineers at Cincinnati, Ohio, to January 1, 1947 (date of discontinuance), were as follows: Lt. Col. George N. Kibler, Corps of Engineers, acting district engineer through October 23, 1946, Col. A. M. Neilson, Corps of Engineers, through November 30, 1946, and Lt. Col. George N. Kibler, Corps of Engineers, acting district engineer through December 31, 1946.) Division engineer of the Ohio River Division, Cincinnati, Ohio, com- prising the above districts: Col. B. C. Dunn, Corps of Engineers,. through November 3, 1946, and Brig. Gen. D. L. Weart, United States Army, since that date. 1619 1620 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 IMPROVEMENTS Navigation Page 1. Construction of locks and dams, Ohio River---------------------- 1620 2. Open-channel work, Ohio River__---------- ---- _-- - 1628 NoTE.-Tributary navigation projects and all flood-control projects in the Ohio River Basin are contained in the reports of the districts included in the Ohio River Division. 1. CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS ON THE OHIO RIVER Location.-The Ohio River is formed by the junction of the Alle- gheny and Monongahela Rivers at Pittsburgh, Pa., and flows in a general southwesterly direction for a distance of 981 miles to join the Mississippi River near Cairo, Ill. For description of the river see page 1227, Annual Report for 1932. 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 6, September 19, 1890; dams 2, 3, 4, and 5, June 3, 1896; 13 and 18, March 3, 1899; 8, 11, 19, and 37, June 13, 1902; 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 dimen- sions of 110 by 600 feet at each dam and in addition an auxiliary lock .56 by 360 feet at Emsworth, Dashields, Montgomery, and dam 41, and 110 by 360 feet at Gallipolis. Dashields is a fixed dam, while Ems- worth, Montgomery, and Gallipolis are fixed dams with movable crests. The remainder of the 46 dams are of the movable type, with navigable pass varying in width from 600 to 1,248 feet. In addition to the navi- gable pass, the movable type dams are also provided with one or more regulating weirs. At dam 41 a canal (Louisville and Portland) ex- tends 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 Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. The estimate of cost of new work revised in 1946, including expendi- tures on previous projects prior to adoption of the 9-foot project in 1910, but exclusive of the Gallipolis locks and dam reported under the Kanawha River project, is $160,271,000, including cost of old structures +whichhave been replaced. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care of locks and dams, mnade in 1947, is $5,462,000. RIVERS AND HARBORS-OHIO RIVER LOCKS AND DAMS 1621 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, widening H. Doc. 492, 60th Cong., 1st sess. of the Louisville and Portland Canal to 170 feet, and a new lock at the lower end. The act also granted discretionary authority to the Secretary of War to make such modifications in the project as appeared advisable. July 18, 1918 Elimination of locks and dams in the lower river H. Doc. 1695, 64th Cong., 2d sess. where the project depth of 9 feet could be satis- factorily maintained by open channel work. Secre- tary of War authorized to substitute fixed dams for movable dams wherever, in his opinion, they may be advisable. 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 40 and 42 have been eliminated; locks and dams 1 and 2 replaced by the Emsworth locks and dam; lock and dam 3 replaced by the Dashields locks and damrn; and locks and dams .4, 5, and 6 re- placed by the Montgomery locks and dam. Locks and dams 24, 25, :and 26 were replaced by Gallipolis locks and dam which was author- ized by the act of August 30, 1935, and constructed under the project for improving lower Kanawha River.

S. ARMY, 1947 2. OPEN-CHANNEL WORK, OHIO RIVER Open-channel work on the Ohio River is in charge of the district engineer in whose district the work is located. For information as to the limits of the three districts on the Ohio River, as well as the district engineers in charge thereof, see page 1619. The portion of the river included in the project extends from the head of the river at Pittsburgh, Pa., to the mouth of the Cache River (Mound City, Ill.), a distance of 974.7 miles. Open-channel improvement from the mouth of the Cache River to the mouth of the Ohio River is under the jurisdiction of the Mississippi River Commission. Existing project.-Priorto the completion of the canalization 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 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 protec- tion 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). RIVERS AND HARBORS---OHIO RIVER OPEN CHANNEL WORK 1629 The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1947, is $19,745,000, which includes $200,000 for bank-protection work near Evansville, Ind., authorized in the 1930 River and Harbor Act. The estimate of annual cost of maintenance, made in 1947, is $1,365,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1827 The project adopted by this act originally covered the entire length of the Ohio River from its mouth near Cairo to Pittsburgh, a distance of 981 miles. It provided for the removal of all obstructions which tend to endanger steamboat navigation. Jan. 21,1927 Construction of ice piers, as a part of the project, with H.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927, authorizing the construction of ice piers for general open- channel work, imposes the condition that before work is begun on any ice pier, local interests convey to the United States free of cost such riparian rights as may be deemed necessary in connection with the improvement at the locality (H. Doc. 187, 67th Cong., 2d sess.). Exist- ing 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. 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 coopera- tion is required. Terminal facilities.-See page 1624. Operation and results during fiscal year.-Dredgingwhere required to provide an adequate and dependable channel of project depth at minimum pool conditions was executed. The dikes and revetments were maintained and the routine work of maintaining navigation aids, making channel studies, and hydrographic surveys was performed as 1630 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 1633 1634 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 of September 19, 1890, adopted a special project for the improvement of the mouth of the river. For further details see page 1901 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1208 of Annual Report for 1938. Above Nashville.--Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of August 14, 1876, March 3, 1881, and July 5, 1884. For further details see page 1898 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1208 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project-Belowt 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 1, Nashville, Tenn. (188.4 miles above the mouth), the first lock constructed under the project for the section of the river above Nashville. The project also provides for surmounting dams A to F with movable crests. The construction of lock and dam 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1635 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 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 $28,000,000. 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. (See H. Doc. 761, 79th Cong., 2d sess.) The existing project for the section below Nashville was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July 13,1892 Provision made for lock A------ ..-- _- _-....- Annual Report, 1890, p. 2151.

Above Nashville.-This provides for the construction of locks and dams 1 to 17 and 21 to secure 6-foot navigation at low water from Nashville (lock and dam 1, 188.4 miles above the mouth) to Waits- boro Shoals (a distance of 324.6 miles) and 4-foot navigation from Waitsboro Shoals to Burnside (3 miles). The project also provides for the periodic removal of snags and similar obstructions from Nash- ville (lock and dam 1) to Burnside (327.6 miles). The project as modified by River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, further provided for raising dam 1 by 3 feet (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 26, 70th Cong., 2d sess.).

I The extreme fluctuation in the stage of the river varies from about 42 to about 71 feet at different localities. Fluctuations below extreme high water are so variable that it is impracticable to fix the stage com- monly 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 1 in accordance with the River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930. The actual cost of locks and dams 1 to 8 and 21 (already completed), and the estimated cost each of locks and dams 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.

S. ARMY, 1947 Local cooperation.-Below Nashville: None required. Above Nash- ville : Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-At Nashville, Tenn., there is a five-story termi- nal 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. 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- inmg commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--(a) Below Nash ille.- Preliminary surveys, foundation investigations, and engineering stud- ies incident to the development of definite plans for the Eureka, Dover, and Cheatham dams under the authorized modification of the existing project for 9-foot navigation were initiated. The cost of new work was $20,211. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of re- moving 10 snags from the channel; dredging 245 cubic yards of sand and gravel at Kuttawa bar (mile 40.4); dredging 6,846 cubic yards of sand and gravel at Shelleys Island (mile 54.1); painting clearance gages on Illinois Central Railway bridge at mile 31.5; and painting warning stripes on upper and lower ends of all lock walls. The cost of maintenance was $27,396.26. (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 859 snags from the channel and painting warn- ing stripes on upper and lower ends of all lock walls except at locks 8 and 21. The cost of maintenance was $4,879.02. (c) Operating and care of locks and dams.-The 15 locks were operated and the structures and appurtenances were cared for as re- quired. The following items were repaired: Filling valves at locks A, F, 2, 3, 4, and 21; dwellings at locks 2, 3, 6, and 7; domestic water supply systems at locks B, C, D, E, F, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7; haulage unit at lock F; road at lock 2; crest wickets at dams C, D, and E; wicket hoists at dams A, B, C, D, E, F, and 1; and apron at dam C. Other operations included dredging of lock pits at locks A, B, C, D, E, F, and 2; painting flag poles at locks A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8; cleaning and painting spare upper lock gates at lock 1; and replacing lower lock gates at lock 1 with reconditioned spares. The cost of operating and care was $318,555.69. The total costs during the fiscal year were $371,041.97, of which RIVERS AND IARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1639 $20,211 was for new work, $32,275.28 for maintenance, and $318,555.69 for operating and care. The expenditures were $383,144.99. Condition at end of fiscal year.-(a) Below Nashville.-All locks and dams under the existing 6-foot navigation project for this section of the river have been completed, affording full project depth between the mouth and Nashville throughout the entire year. Preliminary surveys, foundation investigations, and engineering studies incident to the development of definite plans for the Eureka, Dover, and Cheatham dams under the authorized modification of the existing project for 9-foot navigation were in progress. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1947, were $5,344,864.27, including $685,000 from Public Works funds. Of this amount, $5,056,- 012.52 was for new work, and $288,851.75 for maintenance. (b) Above Nasville.-Under the existing project, locks and dams 1 to 8, inclusive, and 21 have been completed. The project as a whole is about 40 percent complete. There remains to complete the project the construction of locks and dams 9 to 17, inclusive, the prosecution of which is not considered justified in the interest of commerce and navigation at this time. For details of these locks and dams, see tables under paragraph "Existing project." Projected locks and dams 16 and 17 will be eliminated and existing lock and dam 21 will be in- undated upon completion of the Wolf Creek dam and reservoir project now under construction. Lock 21 was permanently closed on May 4, 1947. The locks and dams provide, at extreme low water, a navigable chan- nel 6 feet deep from Nashville (lock and dam 1, 188.4 miles above the mouth) to Niagara Shoals (a distance of 143 miles) ; 6 feet deep from lock 21 to Waitsboro Shoals (25.7 miles) ; and 4 feet deep from Waits- boro Shoals to Burnside, Ky. (3 miles); the latter sections of the river above lock and dam 21 being available only for local navigation since closure of the lock. The depth at extreme low water in the shallowest part of the uncanalized reach between the head of pool, lock and dam 8, and lock 21 (50.8 miles in Tennessee and 101.8 miles in Kentucky) is about 0.5 foot. In this section, 3-foot navigation is prac- tically certain from February 1 to May 1, and usually possible from January 1 to June 1. Four-foot navigation is usually possible from February 1 to May 1, but no period can be fixed during which it is reasonably certain. Navigation of vessels drawing over 4 feet is un- certain at all times. When the Celina gage reads 1 foot, 16-inch navi- gation is practicable, and for each additional foot of reading on this gage the navigable depth is increased 0.8 foot. The expenditures for maintenance have kept the channel above Nashville fairly free from snags and surface obstructions. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1947, were $4,022,795.30, of which $3,760,599.12 was for new work and $262,196.18 for maintenance. (c) Operating and care of locks and dams.-All locks and dams except 21 were in operation, the structures and appurtenances having been maintained in fair condition. The cost of operating and care since June 30, 1935, with funds from the appropriation "Maintenance and improvement of existing river and harbor works," was $3,439,- 721.37. 1640 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 The total costs under the existing project for the entire stream were $12,807,380.94, of which $8,816,611.64 was for new work, including $685,000 from Public Works funds, $551,047.93 for maintenance, and $3,439,721.37 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $12,801,929.40. In addition, the sum of $3,266,705.82 was expended between July 1, 1905, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and accounts re- ceivable on June 30, 1947, plus allotments for new work and mainte- nance, in the amount of $876,500, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947------_ ------------------ $135. 51 New work: Definite project report, Cumberland River below Nash- ville (Eureka, Dover, and Cheatham dams) ------------------ 129, 789. 00 Maintenance: Dredging and snagging where required to main- tain navigable channels (operation of derrick boat Tishomingo and attendant plant, approxi- mately 6% 4 months at $18,000 per month)--... $113, 000. 00 Shoal surveys, where required_------------------ 7, 000. 00 Navigation inspection_-------___-___ __ 8, 000. 00 Painting clearance gages____ -- --- _ -___ - 3, 170. 19 Total, maintenance_---------_------ -------- 131, 170. 19 Maintenance (operating and care of locks and dams): Operation_--_ _____ _____-----_ $309, 200. 00 Ordinary maintenance and repairs -------------- 49, 060. 00 Improvement and reconstruction --------------- 265, 109. 82 Total, maintenance (operating and care of locks and dams)__ 623, 369. 82 Total for all work_----------. -----.--.-------- 884, 464. 52 The additional sum of $3,723,725 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, as follows: New work:' Preparation of contract plans and specifications _.. $330, 000 Initiation of construction, 1 lock and dam --------- 2, 250, 000 Total, new work__.... - ___ --------- ------- -_ .$2, 580, 000 Maintenance: Dredging and snagging where required to maintain navigable channels (operation of derrick boat Tishomingo and attendant plant, approximately 8 months at $18,750 per month) ----------------- $150, 000 Shoal surveys, where required------- ---------- 10, 000 Navigation inspection_ ___-------------_ 8, 500 Painting clearance gages ------------------- _ 3, 000 Total, maintenance_ ______ _____---------- 171, 500 Maintenance (operating and care of locks and dams): Operation_ ___ __--------- 309, 200 Ordinary maintenance and repairs------------_ --- 62, 375 Improvement and reconstruction----------------- 600, 650 Total, maintenance (operating and care of locks and dams)-_ 972, 225 Total for all work. _.------. ---------------------- 3, 723, 725 RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1641 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947------------------------ $9, 642, 864. 58 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947---------------------- 7, 257, 475. 12 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947--------16, 900, 339. 70 Undistributed costs June 30, 1947- - - - ---------------- - - 7, 097. 40 Net total cost to June 30, 1947--------------------- 16, 893, 242. 30 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1947---------------------- 1, 781. 37 Gross total costs to June 30, 1947-- .------- ------ - 16, 895, 023. 67 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1947 ------.------------ - 135. 51 Net total expenditures 16, 894, 888. 16 .---------------------------- Unexpended balance June 30, 1947-------------------------, 6, 183. 15 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947---- --- 16, 901, 071. 31 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 Cost of new work---.... ------------------------------------------------------- $20, 211.00 Cost of maintenance ------------ $365, 156. 32 $336, 402.49 $390, 304. 81 $378, 172. 95 350, 830. 97 Total cost_---------------- 365, 156. 32 336, 402. 49 390, 304. 81 378, 172. 95 371, 041.97 Total expended.---. - - 358, 399. 23 339, 211. 57 395, 234. 91 369, 523. 49 383, 144. 99 Allotted.................-----------..... 206, 000. 00 -2, 800. 00 594, 750. 00 450, 400. 00 60, 300. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1946-------------------------- $329, 028. 14 - Amount allotted during fiscal year---.--- - --.--- _------- 85, 300. 00 Amount to be accounted for ------------------------ 414, 328. 14 Deductions on account of revocation of allotment.------------- 25, 000. 00 Net amount to be accounted for.. . . 389, 328. 14 Gross amount expended_ _----__-__---$397, 747. 09 Less reimbursed expenditures------------------ 14, 602. 10 383, 144. 99 Balance unexpended June 30, 1947---------- 6, 183. 15 Ou t stan d in g liab ilitie s , J u ne 30 , 19 4 7 - - -- -- 5, 887. 20 Balance available June 30, 1947 --- ---- 295. 95 Accounts receivable June 30, 1947 _ 1, 781. 37 Unobligated balance available June 30, 1947.-_ __ 2, 077. 32 Amount allotted in August 1947___ _ 876, 500. 00 Unobligated balance available for fiscal year 1948 ... 878, 577. 32 Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for completion of existing project 1_ __-___________ ___ 38, 689, 400. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1949: For new work 1 _----------------__ - .---- 2, 580, 000. 00 For maintenance 1-_-_-____-_ _-_____--- 1, 143, 725. 00 Total ------------------------------------------ 3, 723, 725. 00 1 Exclusive of available funds. 1642 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Location.-The Tennessee River is formed by the junction of the French Broad and the Holston Rivers in eastern Tennessee, 4.4 miles above the Gay Street Bridge at Knoxville, flows southwest into north- ern Alabama, thence in a generally westerly course across north Ala- bama, to the northeast boundary of Mississippi, thence nearly due north across Tennessee and Kentucky, entering the Ohio River at Paducah, 652.1 miles from the junction of the French Broad and Hol- ston Rivers. (See U. S. Geological Survey base map of the Tennessee River Basin.) Previous projects-(a) Above Chattanooga.-Adoptedby the River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852, June 10, 1872, August 18, 1894, and July 25, 1912. (b) Chattanooga to Riverton.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852, July 25, 1868, March 3, 1871, September 19, 1890; acts of April 26, 1904, and January 7, 1905; and River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1907, June 25, 1910, July 25, 1912, July 27, 1916, and March 3, 1925. (c) Below Riverton.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of July 25, 1868, September 19, 1890, August 18, 1894, March 3, 1899, and July 25, 1912. For further details see pages 1902 to 1906, Annual Report for 1915, pages 1190-1194, 1196-1216, and 1220-1222, Annual Report for 1929, and page 1216, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. 328, 71st Cong., 2d sess.), authorized the permanent improvement of the river for a navigable depth of 9 feet at low water from the mouth to Knoxville, Tenn., a distance of about 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 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1643 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 work of navigation for which substitution is made. The estimated cost of the authorized project as contained in House Document 328, Seventy-first Congress, second session, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $74,709,000 for new work and $40,000 annually for the maintenance and operation of each lock and dam. The latest published maps are in the project document. The above-mentioned act also authorized the appropriation of $5,000,000 for the prosecution of work on this project. The only con- struction performed by the Corps of Engineers thereunder was the construction of the lock at the General Joe Wheeler Dam and miscel- laneous appurtenant improvements. No low dams were constructed under this authorization. The total estimated cost of new work completed and proposed for construction by the Corps of Engineers is $2,436,235, made in 1947. The estimated annual cost of operating and care of the 10 locks and dam 1 (including the locks constructed by the Tennessee Valley Authority and operated by the Corps of Engineers) is $450,000, made in 1947. The estimated annual cost of channel maintenance is $35,000, made in 1947. Under the provisions of the Tennessee Valley Aufthority 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 Corps of Engineers.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1645 The functions of the Corps of Engineers since adoption of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act in 1933 have been those of coopera- tion with the Authority through preparing (with Corps of Engineers forces and funds) the designs of locks at Pickwick, Guntersville, Chickamauga, Watts Bar, and Fort Loudoun Dams; and, in accord- ance with the general navigation laws placing control and supervision over navigable waters in the Secretary of the Army, the Corps of Engineers: Operates and maintains all locks, lifts, or other facilities in aid of navigation; maintains navigation channels and safety harbors by performing all necessary dredging and snagging operations; ex- amines 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. The division of responsibility regarding the project is outlined in memo- randum of agreement dated July 11, 1946, between the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Corps of Engineers. 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, munic- ipally 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. 1646 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Operations and results during fiscal year.-No new work was ac- complished. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor con- sisted of painting clearance gages on Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway bridge at mile 100.5; painting warning stripes on ends of guard and guide walls at all locks; and inspection of navigation channel. The cost of maintenance was $10,393.28. Operating and care of locks and dams.-All locks were operated and lock appurtenances and stand-by plant were maintained. At Kentucky lock, the gear reducer on lower landward lock gate was repaired. At Pickwick Landing lock, flagpole was painted and a new electric water heater installed in the operations building. At lock 1, new lighting fixtures and an air compressor were installed in the op- erations building, plastered ceiling was renewed, outside stucco walls were repaired, and the building painted; also, two dwellings and flag- pole were painted. At Wilson lock, compensator on air compressor was rewound and the exteriors of six dwellings were painted. At Wheeler lock, two dwellings were painted, a cut-off valve was in- stalled in 6-inch water line, and the painting of the water tank was commenced. At Guntersville lock, damaged timbers on the lock gates were replaced and the brake motor for the operating machinery was rewound. At Hales bar lock, the chains on the valves were replaced, new pintles and seals on upper lock gates and a new spar arm on lower riverward lock gate were installed, and the floors of two dwell- ings were renewed. At Watts bar lock, the valve lubricating system was repaired; and at Fort Loudoun lock, the bottom seals were re- placed and general repairs on valves were made. The cost of operating and care was $375,687.95. The costs during the year were $386,081.23, of which $10,393.28 was for maintenance and $375,687.95 for operating and care. The ex- penditures were $405,612.15. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All locks and dams under the exist- ing project have been completed, affording a navigable depth of 8 feet between the mouth and Knoxville, Tenn. (head of river), limited by the lock 1 canal and a short stretch in the upper reaches of Hales bar pool. A small amount of dredging and the raising of Hales bar dam and dam 1 by the Tennessee Valley Authority remain to provide full project depth and channel width over the entire course of the river. 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 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 1, Wilson, General Joe Wheeler, and Hales bar locks have beenl carried on with funds appropriated for the preservation and maintenance of rivers and harbors, in addition to the following: Pick- wick Landing lock, since September 1, 1937; Guntersville lock, since September 1, 1937; Chickamauga lock, since October 15, 1937; Watts RIVERS AND HARBORS--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1647 bar lock, since March 3, 1941; Kentucky lock, since February 10, 1942; and Fort Loudoun lock, since October 10, 1943. The total costs since the project was modified in 1930 were $7,857,- 359.65, of which $2,244,235.57 was for new work, $2,515,628.56 for maintenance, and $3,097,495.52 for operating and care. The total ex- penditures were $7,273,425.75. In addition, the sum of $2,889,148.75 was expended between 1890 and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the perma- nent indefinite appropriation.

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 Bennetts Fork at the western edge of the town and ending at Yellow Creek near the Keystone Tanning and Glue Co. 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, revised in 1947, is $817,830 for new work, and $5,800 annually for maintenance. Local cooperation.-None required. 1652 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work : None. Maintenance: Levees, canals, and appurtenances were maintained by hired labor. The costs of maintenance were $5,995.35. The expend- itures were $5,413.46, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-New work under the existing proj- ect was completed in 1945. The total costs to June 30, 1947, were $836,788.78, of which $817,829.98, including $38,876.31 from Emergency Relief funds, was for new work and $18,958.80 for maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $836,186.04, including $38,876.31 from Emergency Relief funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended amounting to $643.94 and accounts receivable on June 30, 1947, plus an allotment of $5,700, made in August 1947, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947 ------------------------------- $605. 16 Maintenance of levees, canal, and appurtenant works-- ---- 4, 945. 20 Stream gaging-------------- -------- ------------------------ 800. 00 Total---------- ----------------------------------- 6, 350. 36 The additional sum of $10,800 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, as follows: Maintenance__---------------------------------------------------- $10, 000 Stream gaging------------------------------------------------ 800 Total ----------------------------------------------- 10, 800 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947-- 829. 98 $------------------------817, Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947------------------___ 18, 958. 80 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947__ _____ 836, 788. 78 Undistributed costs June 30, 1947---------------------------- -4. 00 Net total cost to June 30, 1947___------------------ 836, 784. 78 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1947 -------------------------- 6. 42 Gross total costs to June 30, 1947----------------___ 836, 791. 20 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1947 ------------------------- 605. 16 Net total expenditures-------------------------_ _ 836, 186. 04 Unexpended balance June 30, 1947---------------------------- 643. 94 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947- 836, 829. 98 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 Cost of new work ....---------------- $4, 673.72 $2, 043.41 $8, 886. 24 Cost of maintenance_-------------- 832. 55 1, 537.03 6, 383. 80 $3, 652. 63 $5, 995. 35 Total cost __------------------ 5,506. 27 3, 580. 44 15, 270. 04 3, 652. 63 5, 995.35 'Total expended.................------------------ 5, 538. 30 3,309. 55 15, 597. 87 3, 648. 21 5, 413. 46 Allotted........----------------------- 21,000. 00 -----------...........-------------- -4, 586. 33 FLOOD CONTROL-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1653 Balance unexpended July 1, 1946-------------------------- $6, 057. 40 Gross amount expended ----------------------------- _ _ 5, 413. 46 Balance unexpended June 30, 1947------_ 643. 94 Outstanding liabilities, June 30, 1947-------------------------- 650. 61 Balance available June 30, 1947------------------------- - 6. 67 Accounts receivable June 30, 1947 ----------------------------- 6. 42 Unobligated balance available June 30, 1947 -------------- -. 25 Amount allotted in August 1947------------------------------ 5, 700. 00 Unobligated balance available for fiscal year 1948 ---------- 5, 699. 75 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, for maintenance 1--------------10, 800. 00 1Exclusive of available funds. 7. WOLF CREEK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, KY. Location.-The site of the Wolf Creek Dam is on the Cumberland River, 460.9 miles above its mouth. It is in Russell County, Ky., and is about 10 miles southwest of Jamestown, Ky., and 12 miles north of Albany, Ky. The Wolf Creek Reservoir will extend 101 miles up the main stream, 48 miles up the South Fork of Cumberland River, and will lie within Russell, Clinton, Wayne, Pulaski, McCreary, Laurel, and Whitley Counties, Ky. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a dam for flood control and the development of power. It will have a maximum height of 240 feet and an approximate length of 5,736 feet, of which 1,796 feet is concrete section and 3,940 feet is earth embankment. From the left abutment a short concrete nonover- flow 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 power- house intake structure through which six penstocks will be constructed. A nonoverflow concrete gravity retaining section will provide a transi- tion 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 ini- tial power installation will be about 135,000 kilowatts, and the ultimate installation will be 270,000 kilowatts. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The esti- mated cost of the project, including the initial three-unit power instal- lation, revised in 1947, is $45,706,500 for construction and $16,293,500 for lands and damages, a total of $62,000,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. 1654 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work (contract): Construction of temporary housing camp at the project site for Gov- ernment inspection personnel and contract portion of power plant design were completed. Construction operations for completion of dam and appurtenant works and miscellaneous activities under supply contracts for materials and equipment furnished by the Government were continued.

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 185 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 four sluices for the control of floods and is surmounted with six tainter crest gates. Adjoining the spillway, there is a 255-foot concrete powerhouse intake structure through which three 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 has an area of 30,990 acres with a total storage of 1,706,000 acre- feet of which 353,000 is 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. The estimated cost of the project, including the initial 2-unit nower FLOOD CONTROL-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1657 installation, revised in 1947, is $19,760,400 for ocnstruction and $4,509,600 for lands and damages, a total of $24,270,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work (contract) : Construction of the power plant was initiated in July 1946, and opera- tions were continued throughout the year. The principal items of construction under the contract were brought to the following per- centages of completion: Common excavation, 47 percent; rock excava- tion, 100 percent; compact fill, 59 percent; concrete placed, 54 percent; reinforcing steel placed, 57 percent; and structural steel erected, 21 percent. Approximate quantities of the major items of work accom- plished were: Common excavation, 7,030 cubic yards; rock excavation, 670 cubic yards; compact fill, 3,815 cubic yards; concrete placed, 5,415 cubic yards; reinforcing steel placed, 571,000 pounds; and structural steel erected, 75,325 pounds. The contract portion of power plant design was completed, and miscellaneous activities under supply con- tracts for materials and equipment furnished by the Government were continued. New work (hired labor) : Operations during the year included com- pletion of power plant design; checking of shop drawings pertaining to power plant construction; completion of operation and mainte- nance manual for the dam; and preliminary work under the master plan for the recreational development of the reservoir. Maintenance (hired labor) : The dam and appurtenances were cared for, and stream gaging was continued during the year. Operations under the reservoir utilization program, for recreation and other pur- poses, included reservoir inspection and patrol work, leasing of com- mercial recreational sites, and leasing of surplus lands for grazing and agricultural purposes. Inasmuch as the power generating facilities have not been completed, the reservoir was operated primarily for flood control. Occasional releases were made during about one-fifth of the year, with a maximum discharge of about 7,500 cubic feet per second. The average pool elevation was about 645 feet, which is 14 feet above future minimum power pool. The maximum pool elevation was 652.6 feet, which is 1.6 feet above spillway crest. Storage in the reser- voir varied from a minimum of 1,065,000 acre-feet in December 1946 to a maximum of 1,398,000 acre-feet in February 1947 following a flood period in the latter part of January 1947. No releases were made during the flood period from January 18, 1947, to February 2, 1947, and the gain in storage amounted to 137,000 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 3.2 feet and at Nashville, Tenn., by 1.5 feet. The costs were $1,634,747.02, of which $1,603,010.92 was for new work and $31,736.10 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,420,976.87. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project as a whole was 88 per- cent complete. Preliminary work was 96 percent complete. The dam and its appurtenances and relocated Tennessee State Highway No. 42 bridge have been completed, and the power plant, including all equip- ment, was about 56 percent complete. The status of work under other 1658 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 contracts was as follows: Aerial photography, 100 percent complete; furnishing cement, 39 percent; turbines, governors, and generators, 85 percent; accessory electrical equipment, 7 percent; and miscellane- ous power plant equipment, 91 percent. Mapping of reservoir (258 square miles) by hired labor has been completed, and the pool cleared. A total of 20,203 acres, of which 6,989 acres were timbered, was cleared by hired labor. In addition, 10,179 acres of pool area were cleared by contract. Acquisition of land for the reservoir has been completed, except for several tracts for which condemnation proceedings have been instituted in Federal court. Approximately 52,405 acres have been acquired in fee simple or are in condemnation; also, about 89 acres of flowage easements and 2 acres of road easements have been obtained. The total costs to June 30, 1947, were $20,899,924.25, of which $20,788,170.36 was for new work and $111,753.89 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $20,761,763.54.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations during the year included the continuation of engineering work necessary in the preparation of construction plans and specifications for .Stewarts Ferry dam, and additional hydraulic investigations and economic studies, relative to justification of proposed facilities, necessary for revision of detailed plans for the Middlesboro local protection project. The costs, all for new work, were $32,079.76. The expenditures were $51,454.29. Condition at end of fiscal year.--Field surveys, foundation investi- gations, and detailed plans for the projects included in the compre- hensive plan have been completed, except for Rossview and Three Islands reservoirs. Additional studies for revision of the Middles- boro local protection project plans were essentially complete, and preparation of construction plans and specifications for Stewarts Ferry 'dam were approximately 80 percent complete. The progress of Wolf Creek, Dale Hollow, and Center Hill reservoir projects, se- lected for construction under this authorization, is given in individual reports. The total costs to June 30, 1947, were $336,033.87. The total ex- penditures were $340,900.09. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and accounts re- ceivable on June 30, 1947, amounting to a total of $101,688.86, will be applied to accounts payable and to the continuation of work on detailed plans and on preparation of contract plans and specifications for development of the general comprehensive plan. The additional sum of $178,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, for preparation of detailed plans. 1666 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 FLOOD CONTROL-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1667 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 and extending downstream to high ground at Second and Pine Streets; (4) Tennessee River, left bank, south section, about 9,600 feet of levee and 4,900 feet of flood wall, the levee beginning at Cameron Hill and extending westerly to the top of the river bank where it turns and runs downstream to the head of Ross Towhead, at which point the works change to a concrete flood wall, continuing southerly along the river bank to the mouth of the Chatta- nooga Creek; (5) Chattanooga Creek section, about 30,000 feet of levees and a new channel for Chattanooga Creek with a length of about 16,000 feet, the new channel following a line extending from near the mouth of the creek to Royal Avenue at the Tennessee-Georgia State line, the channel generally being paralleled on both sides by levees, the left levee tying into high ground near the upper and lower ends of the channel and the levee along the right bank tying into the Rossville levee at the Tennessee-Georgia State line and into the railway yards near the mouth of the creek; (6) Rossville section, actually a continuation of the Chattanooga Creek section, consisting of a levee about 7,000 feet long, extending from high ground south of Rossville to the right bank levee of the Chattanooga Creek section at the Tennessee-Georgia State line. The proposed works will afford 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 7 for requirements. Local interests have given informal assurances that the requirements of local co- operation will be complied with. Authority for the Chattanooga project, however, will expire December 10, 1951, if assurances of local cooperation are not furnished by that date. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Office studies incident to revision of the detailed project plan, and design work necessary in the preparation of contract plans and specifications for construction of the proposed works were undertaken in the early part of the year but were subsequently suspended. The newly elected board of com- missioners for the Chattanooga flood protection district, the regularly constituted body responsible for cooperation, was formally requested in January 1947 to furnish legal assurances that the requirements of local cooperation would be complied with. 1668 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 The costs, all for new work, were $15,758.33. The expenditures were $16,793.94. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Operations were discontinued in November 1946 and further advance planning work on the project is being held in abeyance pending legal assurances of local coopera- tion. Studies for revision of the detailed project plan were well advanced, and the preparation of contract plans and specifications was approximately 10 percent complete. Total costs to June 30, 1947, all for new work, were $180,997.09. The total expenditures were $181,197.29. Proposed operations.-On the assumption that the requirements of local cooperation will be complied with, the balance unexpended and accounts receivable on June 30, 1947, amounting to a total of $676,002.91, will be applied to the continuation of work for completion of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications, and to the initiation of construction on the project.

OHIO RIVER, OPEN CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement, see p. 1628. 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 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 4, and 35.5 feet a lock 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 1947 is $169,400 annually. The estimate of annual cost of maintenance of the channel in Kentucky River, revised in 1947, is $50,000. RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1675 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 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.-Practically no terminal facilities exist for general merchandise and miscellaneous freight. At and near Beatty- ville and Ravenna large tanks are located for the storage of oil which was formerly shipped in barges by the river. Tanks for receiving gasoline are located at or near Carrollton, Frankfort, and Camp Nelson, Ky. Six inclines and one unloading tipple for receiving coal, two chutes for delivering coal, two inclines for receiving logs, one derrick for receiving sand and gravel, one conveyor for shipping, and one crane for receiving sand, gravel, etc., all small in character and mostly used intermittently only, are located at various points on the river. Operations and results during fiscal year.-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. 766707-48-pt. 1, vol. 2-- 22 1676 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Maintenance (operating and care): Work during the fiscal year consisted of the operation and maintenance of the 14 locks and dams. The costs were $26,055.03 for maintenance of channels and $124,- 992:23 for operating and care of locks and dams, a total of $151,047.26. The expenditures were $135,931.32. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1917. The work accomplished under the project has been the rehabilitation of the five old State locks and dams and the construc- tion of new locks and dams 6 to 14. The year of completion of the various locks and dams is given in the table in the paragraph "Exist- ing project." The canalization system on the Kentucky River is in only fair condition. The condition of the concrete-capped, stone-filled timber crib dams at locks 1 to 8, inclusive, varies from fair to poor, and the limestone walls at locks 1 to 6, inclusive, and at lock 8 are wearing away by erosion. The remaining locks and dams, 9 to 14, inclusive, are of concrete construction and the masonry is generally in good condition. The controlling navigable depth in the section covered by the existing project was 6 feet at the end of the fiscal year. The total cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $6,217,880.73, of which $4,176,749.05 was for new work, $518,587.17 for maintenance, and $1,522,544.51 for operating and care. The ex- penditures were $6;210,954.33. 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 works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and accounts re- ceivable on June 30, 1947, plus an allotment of $152,820 received in August 1947, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947-----------------------------$7, 142. 40 Maintenance: Clearing channel in pools of dams -_--_ - - 30, 818. 33 Maintenance (operating and care): Operation -------------------- $71, 570. 00 Ordinary repairs----------------------------15, 400. 00 Improvement and reconstruction_ 57, 823. 26 Total maintenance (operating and care)-- ------ ______ 144, 793. 26 Total for all work ---------------------------------- 182, 753. 99 The additional sum of $261,550 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, as follows: Maintenance: Clearing channel in pools of dams_---------------- $50, 000 Maintenance (operating and care): Operation __-------- -------- $94, 000 Ordinary repairs---------_ ------------------------- 15, 400 Improvement and reconstruction_ 102, 150 Total maintenance (operating and care)--------------------211, 550 Total for all work_-------------------------------------261, 550 RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1677 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947_-----_-_--------- $4, 176, 749. 05 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947__--- 8, 446, 503. 46 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947--------- 12, 623, 252. 51 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1947 ---------------------- 216. 00 Gross total costs to June 30, 1947------------------- 12, 623, 468. 51 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1947_---___---_ _ -__- 7, 142. 40 - Net total expenditures ________-_- -__________ 12, 616, 326. 11 Unexpended balance June 30, 1947___________ ___________ - 29, 717. 99 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947-----------12, 646, 044. 10 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 Cost of new work_------_______--------------- Cost of maintenance_----------t $225, 309.07 -------------- -------------- ------------------ $230, 228. 64 $173, 709.48 $214, 200.38 $151, 047. 26 _------ Total expended...--..... --.-,, . 218, 545. 15 227, 397. 94 193, 480. 38 232, 960. 44 135, 931.32 Allotted--.... -...... -........ 105,000. 00oo -86,400.00 315,300. 00 204, 700. 00 33, 000.00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1946__ ______---------$132, 649. 31 Amount allotted during fiscal year- - ------ ______-----71, -_ 100. 00 Amount to be accounted for___________ ------------- 203, 749. 31 Deductions on account of revocation of allotment ------------- 38, 100. 00 Net amount to be accounted for_- __-___----165, 649. 31 Gross amount expended _______--___ - --- -___________- 135, 931. 32 Balance unexpended June 30, 1947----------------- 29, 717. 99 Outstanding liabilities, June 30, 1947-------------$7, 142. 40 Amount covered by uncompleted contracts-------- 1, 737. 74 8, 880. 14 Balance available June 30, 1947_ __ __- -- ______----- 20, 837. 85 Accounts receivable June 30, 1947_________------------ 216. 00 Unobligated balance available June 30, 1947----------- 21, 053. 85 ---------------------------- Amount allotted in August 1947_ 152, 820. 00 Unobligated balance available for fiscal year 1948------- 173, 873. 85 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, for maintenance I_____________..------- 261, 550. 00 1 Exclusive of available funds. 4. GREEN, BARREN, AND NOLIN RIVERS, AND BEAR CREEK, KY.

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 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 1 to 4, Green River, and 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 2, Green River; the upstream extension of slack-water navigation on Green River to Mammoth Cave, Ky., by the construction of locks and dams 5 and 6 and by the removal of snags and slides; the construction of new locks at dam 1, Barren River, and at dam 5, Green River; the raising of the crest of dam 5, Green River, 2 feet, by means of a movable A-frame top ; the improvement of Nolin River by the removal of obstructive bars, boulders, overhanging rocks, and snags; and the improvement of Bear Creek by removing snags and widening the bends. The project for Green River extends from the mouth to Mammoth Cave, Ky., a distance of 197.8 miles; for Barren River from the mouth to Bowling Green, Ky., a distance of 30.1 miles; for Nolin River from the mouth to Meredith Ferry, a distance of 73/4 miles; and for Bear Creek, Ky., for a distance of 8 miles above its mouth. The navigable depth 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 3, Green River, ordinary fluctuations due to high stages are from 12 to 15 feet above the pool level, and at lock 1, Barren River, from 7 to 10 feet above pool. The maximum stages of record are 34 feet above normal pool stage at lock 3, Green River, and 29 feet at lock 1, Barren River. These stages were obtained during the floods of 1937 and 1913, respectively.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides that in connection with the improvement of Bear Creek, Ky., local interests are to contribute $10,000 to the first cost of the dredg- ing, provide necessary rights-of-way at the bends, furnish without cost to the United States satisfactory areas for the disposal of exca- vated material, and assume all flowage damages along Bear Creek. These conditions have not been met. 1680 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, provides that local interests provide any land or easements required for the purpose of the improvement of Nolin River. Local interests have been unable to obtain easements required for the removal of overhanging rock ledges at Whistle Mountain. Terminal facilities.-There is one terminal on the Green River for handling petroleum products. On Barren River there are four ter- minals, 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. There are no terminals on the Nolin River or Bear Creek. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance: Work dur- ing 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. Maintenance (operating and care) : Work during the fiscal year con- sisted of the operation and maintenance of the seven locks and dams on the Green and Barren Rivers. The costs were $752.14 for maintenance of channels and $47,794.38 for operating and care of locks and dams, a total of $48,546.52. The expenditures were $45,998.69. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The canalization system on Green and Barren Rivers is in only fair condition, except lock 1, Barren River and lock and dam 5, Green River, which are in excellent condi- tion. 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 at Whistle Mountain on Nolin River, provided for by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, and the improvement of Bear Creek, provided for by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930.

ROUGH RIVER, KY. Location.-This stream is one of the principal tributaries of Green River and lies wholly within the State of Kentucky. It rises in Hardin County, flows westerly 136 miles, and empties into Green River at Livermore, 71 miles from the mouth of that river. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts, Kentucky quadrangles: Central City, Hartford, Whitesville.) Existing project. This provides for clearing the river of obstruc- tions and for the construction of a lock and dam to carry slack water to Hartford, Ky. The new work provided for having been com- pleted, the project now contemplates the maintenance of the lock and dam and keeping the river channel free from the snags and other obstruction to navigation from the mouth to Hartford, Ky., a distance 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 location and principal dimensions, etc., of the lock are as follows: Name_- Lock 1, Rough River. Nearest town_ Livermore, Ky., 7 miles. Distance from mouth of river 7 miles. Width of lock chamber_ 27 feet. Greatest length available for full width ...... 123 feet. Lift at pool stage_ 9.9 feet. Depth on lower miter sill at pool stage ...... 4.1 feet. Depth on upper miter sill at pool stage .___. . 6.6 feet. Character of foundation_ Rock. Kind of dam_ Fixed. Type of dam_ Wooden, stone-filled crib, stepped. Cost of lock and dam $72,186.35. Year opened to navigation_ 1896. 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- RIVERSi ANDi HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1683 ment originally proposed.

The latest published map of Rough River is printed in H. Doc. 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 (operat- ing and care) : Work during the fiscal year consisted of the perform- ance of custodial services at lock 1, Rough River. The total cost during the fiscal year was $3,264.69 for maintenance. The expenditures were $3,471.47. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1899. At the end of the year the lock and dam were in poor condition. The lock gates could not be operated because of mud de- posits in lock chamber. A slack-water channel was available else- where in the river for boats not exceeding a 3-foot draft. The costs to the end of the fiscal year were $105,500 for new work and $32,105.97 for operating and care, a total of $137,605.97. The expenditures were $137,621.50. In addition, the sum of $55,298.39 was expended between 1898 and June 30, 1936, on the operating and care of the works of improve- ment, under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

It will provide protection for a por- tion of the residential section of Delphi, Ind., against Wabash River floods equal to the maximum of record which occurred in 1913. The existing project has been selected for construction under the additional authorization for the Ohio River basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $65,000 for con- struction and $4,000 for lands and damages. The latest published map is contained in House Document 197, Eightieth Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. Officials of the city of Delphi have informally indicated their willingness to fulfill the requirements of local cooperation. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None.

GILL TOWNSHIP LEVEE UNIT, WABASH RIVER, IND. Location.-The Gill Township levee unit is located in Sullivan County, Ind., on the east bank of the Wabash River, 152 to 162 miles above the mouth. 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 appproved 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 100, Seventy-third Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Construction work to strengthen the levee was completed and miscellaneous operations on preservation and repair prior to turning over to local intersts were performed. Local interests performed routine maintenance and oper- ated the pumping plants during short periods when the river was above flood stage. The district was kept free from overflow through- out the year by these operations. Flood damages prevented were estimated at $337,000. The costs during the fiscal year were $11,693.74 for new work. The expenditures were $30,106.36. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the project was substantially complete except for alteration of one drainage gate, installation of sump frame work in one pumping plant and the formal 1690 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 assignment of the project to local interests for operation and main- tenance. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $559,200.25 for new work. The expenditures were $559,200.25.

CINCINNATI, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location.-The project is located in the city of Cincinnati on the right bank of the Ohio River, in Hamilton County, Ohio, 472.5 miles below Pittsburgh. Existing project.-The project provides for the construction of a barrier dam across Mill Creek near its mouth, and a concrete wall, with appurtenant works, extending from the east bank of the creek 1710 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 along the Ohio River to high ground near the intersection of Bay- miller and Kenyon Streets. The project will protect Mill Creek Valley and a small portion of the river-front section of Cincinnati against Ohio River floods of 1937 magnitude (maximum of record) with a 3-foot freeboard. The construction of the barrier dam will include a pumping installation to dispose of discharges of Mill Creek (drain- age area 165 square miles) into the Ohio River during flood periods. The entire project will involve the construction of a barrier-dam pump house including pumps, motors, and all necessary electrical and other mechanical equipment; appropriate outlet works to pass Mill Creek discharges during normal periods; levee and wall between the western abutment of the dam and pump house; and about 5,660 linear feet of concrete wall to form the eastern closure of the dam. The project also provides for the construction of gates, drainage-disposal facilities, and other appurtenant works. The project has been selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Con- trol Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of the project, revised in 1947, is $11,000,600, of which $9,973,000 is for construction and $1,027,600 is for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. The require- ments are being fulfilled. During fiscal year 1945 modifications of the Evans Street sewer were performed with funds in the amount of $10,693.26 furnished by the city of Cincinnati. During fiscal year 1947 funds in the amount of $174,283.07 were supplied by the city of Cincinnati for sewer modifications near Carr Street and relocations for traffic gates. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Procurementand instal- lation of two additional pumps and equipment in the barrier dam pump station was practically complete (four pumps were in operating condition prior to the current fiscal year). Work was continued on the construction of unit 6 and initiated on units 7 and 8 and relocations for railroad closures (east wall and appurtenant works). Work on design, plans, specifications, and tests was continued throughout the year as needed. The costs during the fiscal year were $3,235,291.20. The-expendi- tures were $3,137,481.28. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionof the west wall and appurtenant works was essentially complete except for one railroad closure. The barrier dam pump station was complete and four pump- ing units were in operating condition. Installation of two additional pumping units was complete except for transformers, switchgear and connections. The Evans Street and McLean Avenue diversion sewers were complete. Work was well advanced on units 6, 7, and 8, reloca- tions for railroad closures and other miscellaneous features. The entire project was 85 percent complete. The work remaining to be done consists of the completion of units 6, 7, and 8, relocations for railroad closures, installation of transformers, switchgear and connec- tions for two pumping units and other miscellaneous appurtenances. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $8,683,728.70 for new work.

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 removal of accumulated snags and other debris from, and the clear- ing and straightening of channels in navigable streams and tributaries thereof when such work is advisable in the interest of flood control; 1752 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 provided that not more than $50,000 shall be expended for this pur- pose for any single tributary from the appropriations for any one fiscal year. Work under this heading consisted of the preparation of plans for the removal of snags and other debris from the channel of the South Fork of Saline River, Ill. The section to be cleared has a length of 15 miles beginning at the junction with the Middle Fork, 6 miles south- east of Harrisburg, and extending to a point about one-fourth mile downstream from the crossing of United States Highway 45. The costs for the year were $1,728.86 and the expenditures were $1,728.86. The total costs to June 30, 1947, were $1,728.86 and the total expend- itures were $1,728.86. The balance unexpended on June 30, 1947, amounting to $23,271.14, will be applied to completion of plans and specifications and the execution of the work. No additional funds can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1949 as the work on the South Fork of Saline River will be completed with available funds.

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 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 isnow 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 11 the minimum depth actually maintained is 2 feet. The navigable depth between lock 1 and the mouth, a distance of 0.25 mile, is provided by dam 18, Ohio River, and by dredging. The original estimate of cost of restoring the dams taking over from the State of Ohio was $200,000. To this was added later the construc- tion of a new lock and dam 11, at a cost of about $143,000, the repair and extension of a levee at dam 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 1947, is $114,000. The construction of a new lock 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 Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. An index map of Muskingum River is printed in House Document 251, Seventy-eighth Congress, first session.

S. ARMY, 1947 Local cooperation.-Fully complied 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 for loading coal from motortrucks to barges is located at mile 74.7. A slip for unloading coal from barges is located 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 con- dition. Locks 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 11 were placed in an unattended status during January 1947; however, the facilities at these locations were available to navigation interests, subject to 24 hours' advance notice. Dredging, totaling 26,300 cubic yards, was performed in the ap- proaches and lock chambers of locks 1 to 7, inclusive, in order to per- mit the passage of commercial tows. At lock 3 emergency repairs were made to the lock gates. Work was initiated on June 9 under a contract for reconstruction of dam 7. The cost of maintenace during the fiscal year was $61,335.47, all for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $68,386.39. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1910. The locks and dams are in fair condition with the exception of dam 7, which is in poor condition and is now being re- consructed under contract. All structures are in operation and the available depth for navigation is 4.5 feet from mouth to lock 11, and from lock 11 to end of project the depth actually maintained is 2 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 $1,349,665.39 of which $301,911.53 was for new work, $137,140.08 for maintenance, and $910,613.78 for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $1,353,075.46. In addition, the sum of $3,995,355.89 was expended between April 7, 1887, and June 30, 1936, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appro- priation for such purposes.

KANAWHA RIVER, W. VA. Location.-This river, 97 miles in length, is formed by the junction of the New and Gauley Rivers, a short distance above Kanawha Falls, W. Va., flows in a general northwesterly direction, and empties into the Ohio River at Point Pleasant, W. Va. Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1873, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1875 (Annual Report for 1875, pt. 2, pp. 90- 98). For further details see page 1913, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1309, Annual Report for 1938. Eisting project.-The existing project provides for three dams on the Kanawha River, with twin locks having usable dimensions of 56 by 360 feet, and one dam on the Ohio River near Gallipolis, Ohio, with one lock 110 by 600 feet and one lock 110 by 360 feet, to furnish a 9-foot navigable depth from the mouth to a point 90.57 miles above. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $24,167,450, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The estimated cost for operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 1947, is $300,000 annually.

CO RIVERS AND HARBORS--HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1767 Local cooperation.-Under license 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 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 nine gasoline and oil unloading stations at Charleston and vicinity, Cabin Creek, Boomer, St. Albans, and South Charleston, a terminal at Institute, W. Va., for unloading crude oil and styrene, a dock at South Charleston for un- loading sulphur, 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 results during fiscal year.-New work: Work in connection with the acquisition of flowage easements occasioned by the increased pool heights was continued. Plans and specifications for an 830-foot extension of the upper guard wall, Gallipolis Locks, Ohio River, were prepared and are complete except for minor re- visions requested by higher authority. The cost during the fiscal year was $1,511.05, all from regular funds. Maintenance: Work in connection with channel sweeping, inspec- tion of navigation aids, and snagging was performed where required. The cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $3,257.26. Operating and care of locks and dams: The locks and dams were operated as required and urgent repairs were made thereto and to the appurtenant structures. Cleaning and painting of roller gates and service bridge at Winfield Dam, and of Stoney gate valves at Marmet and London Locks, all initiated in fiscal year 1946, were completed. At Marmet and London Locks and Dams, handrails and additional check posts were installed on the lock walls, and emergency bulkheads were cleaned and spot painted. Structural members at top of serv- ice bridge and submerged portions of rollers 2, 3, and 4, London Dam, were cleaned and painted. The lower gates of both Marmet Locks were also cleaned and painted and repairs to access road, Winfield Dam, were made. The cost for operating and care during the fiscal year was $210,388.41. The total cost for the fiscal year was $215,156.72, of which $1,511.05 was for new work, and $213,645.67 for maintenance. The total ex- penditures were $215,162.57. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 98 percent complete.' The work remaining to be done consists of com- pleting the procurement of flowage easements, including clearing of Chickamauga Creek, and extension of the upper guard wall at Galli- polis Locks. Acquisition of all unacquired 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 1768 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 is 9 feet from the mouth of the river to the head of the improvement.

AND KY., INCLUDING LEVISA AND TUG; FORKS Location.-Big Sandy River, 27.2 miles in length, is formed by the junction of the Levisa and Tug Forks at Louisa, Ky., flows in, a northerly direction, and empties into the Ohio River at Catletts- burg, Ky. Levisa Fork, 160 miles in length, rises in southwestern Virginia and flows in a general northerly direction; and Tug Fork,. 154 miles in length, rises in southwestern West Virginia and flows; in a general northwesterly direction. Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of July 18,, 1878, June 14, 1880, and July 13, 1892. For further details see Annual Report for 1915, page 1929, and Annual Report for 1938, page 1318. Existing project.-This provides for three locks and dams on they main river, two locks and dams each on Levisa Fork and Tug Fork, and regulating works below lock 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 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 1947, is $70,000 annually. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 14,1880 Lock and fixed dam near Louisa, Ky_ July 13,1892 Substitution of a movable dam at lock near Louisa, H.

Recommended modification of project.-Recommendation 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 Report on Survey of Big Sandy River and Tug and Levisa Forks, Ky., W. Va., and Va., for Flood Control and Navigation. Terminal facilities.-Terminal facilities 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 during fiscal year.-Existing commerce on the river requires the use of lock and dam 1, only. Consequently, only that structure was operated during the year. Urgent repairs were made to locks, dams, and appurtenant structures where required. The cost of operating and care during the fiscal year was $19,906.82, The expenditures were $20,710.64. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1910. The locks and dams are in fair operating condition, although only lock and dam 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 $1,588,791.91 of which $1,205,804.92 was for new work, $64,857.66 for maintenance, and $318,129.33 for operation and care of the locks and dams. The total expenditures were $1,588,663.53. In addition, the sum of $1,002,273.16 was expended between January 1897 and June 30, 1938, on the operat- ing and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriations for such purposes. 766707-48-pt. 1, vol. 2- 28 1772 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

SCIOTO RIVER AT PORTSMOUTH, OHIO Location.-The project is located on the left bank of the Scioto River at the city of Portsmouth, in Scioto County, Ohio, immediately above the mouth of the Scioto River and within the limits of the slack-water of dam 31 on the Ohio River. Existing project.-The proposed project provides for the develop- ment .of a harbor channel equivalent to that existing prior to the initiation of the Portsmouth flood control project, which is described son page 1811. The project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, which specified that the cost of the project in no event is to exceed $75,000. Local cooperation.-Nonerequired. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Surveys to ,determine the extent of shoaling and amount of shift in the location ;of the cut-off channel were continued. Dredging to afford temporary correction of the shoaling was accomplished during July 1946. The cost of new work during the fiscal year was $9,155.87. The expendi- tures were $9,264.56. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Surveys to determine the extent of shoaling and amount of shift in the location of the cut-off channel have been made. No permanent corrective work has been initiated, however, dredging to afford temporary correction of the shoaling has been accomplished. The total cost under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $9,343.46, all for new work. The total expenditures were $9,343.46. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance as of June 30, 1947, $2,156.54, will be applied to completing preparation of plans and -specifications for permanent corrective measures, July 1, 1947, to June 30, 1948. The additional sum of $63,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for dredging harbor at Portsmouth, Ohio.

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.-This project provides for the construction, oper- ation, and maintenance of 14 reservoirs and appurtenant works in the Muskingum River Basin. It was originally authorized by the Public FLOOD CONTROL-HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1777 Works Adminstration February 20, 1934, to include 15 reservoirs as set forth in an official plan prepared by the Corps of Engineers and adopted by the Muskingum watershed conservancy district of Ohio, the sponsoring agency. Subsequent amendments to the official plan pro- vided, among other things, for the elimination of one reservoir and the inclusion and later elimination of a project for channel improvement of the Tuscarawas River at Massillon, Ohio. Allotments totaling $27,190,000 were made from December 1933 to July 1937 by the Public Works Administration to aid in financing construction of this project. The project was operated and maintained by the conservancy district from July 1938 to August 1939 when it was taken over by the Corps of Engineers for maintenance and operation in accordance with the provisions of the Flood Control Act approved August 11, 1939. The Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, authorized and directed the Secretary of War to reimburse the conservancy district a sum not to exceed the actual expenditures made by it in acquiring lands, easements, and rights-of-way for reservoirs in the Muskingum River Valley, such reimbursements not to exceed $4,500,000, nor in- clude any expenditures for lands, easements, and rights-of-way here- tofore or hereafter purchased from said district by the United States. The first allotment under this authorization was made June 29, 1939, from the War Department Appropriation Act of June 28, 1939. The Flood Control Act approved August 11, 1939, contained the provisions that the Muskingum River reservoirs be included in the flood control plan for the Ohio River Basin authorized in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938; that section 2 of the latter act apply to those reservoirs; and that the conservancy district be relieved of any obligation to maintain and operate the dams. 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 1947, excluding the cost to the Muskingum watershed conservancy district, is $40,136,200, of which $18,041,300 is for construction and $22,094,900 for lands and damages.

For further details see Annual Report for 1942, page 1257. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-New work: Work in connection with acquisition of flowage easements occasioned by the reservoirs was continued. Work in connection with relocation of the remaining State, county, and township roads was continued and final payment was made to the State of Ohio for relocation of State high- ways. Invitation for bids were issued during June for the recon- struction and relocation of water works for the village of Mineral City, Ohio, located within the reservoir area of Bolivar Reservoir. Work on the project report for channel rectification in Black Fork of Mohican River below Charles Mill Dam, which was initiated in fiscal year 1946, was prosecuted to 22 percent completion and then sus- pended pending completion of related studies. Contracts for chan- nel rectification work in Little Stillwater Creek below Piedmont Dam and in Stillwater Creek below Tappan Dam were awarded during June 1947. The cost during the fiscal year was $1,069,413.64. Maintenance: Heavy rains during January required minor opera- tion of the 14 flood-control reservoirs to prevent local flooding down- stream. A succession of storms required operation of the reservoirs during most of June. The maximum amount of water stored in the reservoirs for flood-control purposes and the maximum rates of release for the corresponding high-water periods are shown in the following table: Correspond- Maximum ing Name of reservoir Date stflooe, storage, maximum release, acre-feet cubic feet per second __ Atwood ........ -________________-_ ___---- - June 12, 1947 7, 300 149 Beach City_ June 11, 1947 31,920 1,130- Bolivar ------------------------------------------ June 10,1947 46, 310 6, 455 Charles Mill -------------------------------------- June 19, 1947 45, 500 880 Clendening- ___ -_________________ _____ June 12,1947 7, 600 362 Dover-... ......------------------------------------------ June 11, 1947 93,020 6, 600 Leesvile.... ------------------------------------------- do.. 5, 550 132 Mohawk .- -________-------------______ June 10,1947 126, 825 4, 330 Mohicanville_ ---------------------------------- June 15,1947 59, 800 725 Piedmont--------------------------------------- June 11, 1947 13, 100 208 Pleasant Hill ------------------------------ June 9, 1947 21, 100 1, 690 .......----------- Senecaville--------- May 26, 1947 12, 855 435 Tappan.--- __ - _-_____-- ___- -- June 12,1947 3, 620 140 Wills Creek_ __ _____--...... - - ________ - -- June 11, 1947 62, 000 5, 030 The necessary repairs were made to the structures and appurtenances. Engineering studies in connection with unusual local conditions at the dams and vicinity, and with efficient operation of the complete system were continued. The cost during the fiscal year was $167,225.37. The total cost, all from regular funds, was $1,236,639.01 of which $1,069,413.64 was for new work and $167,225.37 was for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,160,547.34. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionof the 14 flood-control reservoir dams is complete and the structures are in operation. The major items of work remaining to be done consist of acquisition of 1780 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 flowage easements, reimbursements to the Muskingum watershed con- servancy district, relocation of the Mineral City waterworks in Bolivar Reservoir area, and remedial work in the channels downstream from the reservoir dams. Some of the conservation pools in the reservoirs have not attained their ultimate levels due to incompletion of highway relocations, which were delayed during the war. Highway relocation work is being performed by State and county authorities under agree- ments. The cost to end of fiscal year was as follows: Regular funds: The cost was $9,238,658.92 of which $8,447,979.72 was for new work and $790,679.20 for maintenance. The expenditures were $9,202,232.15.

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 $28,187,000, revised in 1947. The existing project was authoirized 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 duringfiscal year.-Work under the contract for construction of the dam was continued. Supply contracts for furnishing conduit liners and eight sluice gate assemblies were com- pleted. Work under the supply contract for furnishing eight addi- tional sluice gate assemblies was continued. Supply contracts for furnishing additional cement were awarded. Clearing of the reservoir to elevation 1,400 was performed under contract during the period October 21 to February 7. Plans for drilling and curtain grouting of the dam foundation were completed. Revision of plans and speci- fications for sluice bulkheads, crest gates, skim gates, and trash chute .emergency gate was completed. Work on plans and specifications for :the gantry crane was resumed. Work on acquisition of 73 tracts required in connection with the construction of highways and reservoir clearing operation was continued, and work was initiated on acquisi- tion of the remaining 57 tracts having improvements, and lying below an elevation 5 feet above spillway elevation. Preparation of reports ,on the necessity for highway relocations, cemetery relocations, and recreational facilities was initiated. Payment under the agreement with the State of West Virginia for relocation of State Route 20, located on the left bank at the dam site was made. The cost of new -work during the year was $8,796,480.97. The expenditures were :$8,265,489.89. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work under the contract for con- -struction of the dam was approximately 61 percent complete. Supply :contracts for conduit liners and eight sluice-gate assemblies are com- 1784 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 plete. Work under the supply contract for eight additional sluice- gate assemblies was practically completed. Clearing of the reservoir is complete. Plans and specifications for construction of the dam and for sluice bulkheads, crest gates, skim gates, and trash chute emergency gate are complete. Acquisition of those tracts affected by the structure left during the war-caused suspension period is com- plete. Work is in progress on acquisition of 130 tracts lying below an elevation 5 feet below spillway elevation. Land acquisition is about 35 percent complete. One highway at the dam site has been relocated and payment for relocation of West Virginia Route 20 along the left bank at the site has been made.

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 with facilities, including con- structing four railroad bridges, the substructure of an additional rail- road bridge, and replacing one highway bridge, (3) constructing the superstructure of the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge across the 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 1947, is $7,372,200. In addition to the amount to be expended by the United States, the Massillon conservancy district will contribute $497,850 for addi- tional construction and alterations beyond the scope of the authorized Federal project. A total of $495,600 of the contribution has been received and is 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, and certain land and damage costs connected therewith. The remain- ing $2,250 of contributed funds pertains to construction of the two via- ducts and will be forthcoming at the time the related work is under- taken. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. 1790 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.,S.

BURR OAK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location.-The dam site of the Burr Oak Reservoir is located on East Branch of Sunday Creek, a tributary of Hocking River, Ohio, about 3 miles north of the village of Glouster and 57.2 miles above the mouth of Hocking River. Emisting project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a rolled earth fill dam having a maximum height of 84 feet and a total length of 980 feet; controlled outlet works discharging through a tunnel located in the left abutment; and an uncontrolled spillway in the ridge running south from the dam site. The reservoir created, providing for the storage of 17,600 acre-feet for flood control and 9,300 acre-feet for conservation and water supply for a total of 26,900 acre-feet will control 32.8 square miles of the drainage area of East Branch, and necessitates the relocation of 3 miles of roads and 1.3 miles of pipe line. The reservoir will afford substantial protec- tion to the Sunday Creek Valley and serve as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system for the protection of the Hocking River and Ohio River Valleys. The reservoir will also provide an assured water supply to villages, industries, and coal-mine operations in the Sunday Creek Valley. The existing project was authorized under the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1947, is $2,190,000 of which $785,000 is to be contrib- uted by local interests.

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 a point near the north- ern corporation 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 2,000 feet above the upstream New Boston corporation line. The project comprises the construction of about 20,300 lineal feet of levee; about 21,200 lineal feet of reinforced con- crete wall; the provision of 14 traffic openings to permit the free passage of traffic during normal periods; the construction of appro- priate 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 appurte- nant works. The project has been selected for construction under the 1812 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of the proj- ect revised in 1947 is $10,063,000 of which $9,553,000 is for construction and $510,000 is for rights-of-way and damages. Local cooperation.-Seepage 7 fpor requirements. The requirements are being fulfilled by both cities. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work under contract for construction of unit 4 (wall and levee) of the project was com- pleted during September. Work under contracts for preparation of plans and specifications for construction of all 12 pumping stations was completed. Plans and specifications for pumping stations 1 to 6, inclusive, were modified by hired labor and invitations for bids for their construction were issued. A contract was awarded for construc- tion of an embankment for the temporary relocation of railroad lines, required in connection with construction of the final wall and levee sections and work was begun April 24, 1947. Preparation of plans and specifications for the final wall and levee sections and the structures for pumping stations 7, 8, 9, and 10 was completed and invitations for bids were issued. The cost of new work during the fiscal year was $576,281.28, and the expenditures were $691,208, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionof units 1, 2, 3, 3A, and 4 was complete. Work under a contract for construction of an embankment for a temporary railroad relocation required in connec- tion with construction of the final wall and levee sections was in progress and was about 93 percent complete. Invitations for bids for the construction of the final wall and levee sections and the struc- tures for 4 of the 12 pumping stations were issued. The work remain- ing to be done consists of about 9,500 feet of wall, 600 feet of levee, and construction or alteration of 12 pumping stations. The entire project is about 63 percent complete. The total cost of new work to the end of the fiscal year was $3,902,- 295.34, of which $3,877,056.04 was from regular funds, $15,150 from advanced funds and $10,089.30 from Emergency Relief funds.

Location.--This river is formed by the junction of the Tygart and West Fork Rivers about 1 mile south of Fairmont, W. Va., and flows in a northerly direction 128 miles to its junction with the Allegheny River, forming the Ohio River at Pittsburgh, Pa. (See U. S. Geo- logical Survey charts for southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.) Previous rojects.-These provided for acquisition by the United States in 1897 of original locks 1 to 7, inclusive, which were built by the Monongahela Navigation Co., and the extension of slack-water navigation to the head of the river by the construction of original locks 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 ,opf 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 7, 8, and 9 were replaced by new locks and dams 7 and 8 in 1925. Increased traffic necessitated an enlargement and improve- ment of locks and dams 1 to 6 between Pittsburgh and Rices Landing, Pa., by the building of two parallel chambers and fixed concrete dams. Original locks and dams 10 to 15, inclusive, are still adequate for the present traffic and are maintained under the existing project. Locks and dam 1 were eliminated in 1938 by the raising of the Ems- worth Dam, Ohio River. The channel width varies from 125 feet in pool 15, to full width of river at the mouth. The controlling depth from Pittsburgh, Pa., to mile 100.3 in the upper reach of pool 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 1947 (exclusive of :amounts expended on previous projects) is $20,276,000. This amount includes $110,000 to be contributed. The estimate of annual cost for ,channel maintenance, made in 1947, is $60,000. The estimate of annual RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1823 cost for operation and care of locks and dams, revised in 1947, is $835,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 1,1889 Enlargement and improvement of lock and dam 6; Annual Report, 1897, p. 2423. additional works at lock 3; new repair steamer and new dredge boat with equipment; all at an esti- mated cost of $185,556.

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 adequate for the prospective commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: The report on hydraulic model studies of proposed reconstruction of locks 2 was completed. A restudy of the proposed locks 2 to consider a 110-foot width main lock chamber was in progress. Maintenance: A general survey consisting of field work and the preparation of topographic drawings was carried on for a portion of the fiscal year. Surveys for dredging were made at various loca- tions from the mouth of the river to the upper part of pool 4 and plans prepared for future dredging. A total of 24,277 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 made thereto, and to operators' quarters and grounds. In addition to ordinary repairs to structures and plant, the following major work was performed: At locks 2, repairs were made to the lock gates and valves in the river chamber; at lock 5, repairs were made to the land and river wall filling valves and to the emptying valves in the river chamber; at lock 6 lower lock gates were replaced and repairs made to the valves and sills in the river chamber; and at lock 7, repairs to the lock gates, sills, valves, and penstock valves were in progress. Hired labor forces and government plant accomplished dredging in lock chambers and approaches at locks 2, 4, and 5, removing a total of 1,225 cubic yards. The total costs were $798,600.60, of which $688,600.60 was from regular funds and $110,000 from maintenance and operation of dams and other improvements of navigable waters. The sum of $16,935.50 was for new work and $43,028.01 for channel maintenance, all from regular funds. The sum of $738,637.09 was for maintenance (operat- ing and care) of which $628,637.09 was from regular funds and $110,000 from maintenance and operation of dams and other improve- ments of navigable waters. The total expenditures were $782,331.02. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The locks and dams are complete and in operation. Remaining work to complete the project consists of the reconstruction of locks 2. The navigation channel has been 1826 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 maintained to project depth affording adequate depth at all times for the passage of commercial tows.

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 af- ford slack-water navigation from Pittsburgh, Pa., to above East Brady, Pa., a distance of 72 miles. Original locks and dams 2 and 3 were replaced by new locks and dams 2 and 3 in 1934. Lock and dam 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 channel maintenance, made in 1947, is $11,000. The estimate of annual cost for operation and care of locks and dams, revised in 1947, is $247,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 5,1886 For lock and dam 1. (Fixed dam contemplated.

There are numerous privately maintained terminals and docks consisting of tipples, various types of hoists, chutes, and pipe lines for use in loading and unloading coal, coke, sand, gravel, limestone, cement, petroleum products, steel products, and other commodities. The transshipment of freight between river and railroads is handled at privately owned river-to-rail terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Negotia- tions relative to final conclusion of land acquisition, condemnation proceedings, and legal work pertaining thereto were continued. Maintenance: No work under this heading was performed through- out the fiscal year. Maintenance (operating and care): The locks were operated as required and necessary repairs and improvements made thereto, and to the operators' quarters and grounds. The total costs were $182,984.95, of which $94.74 was for new work, and $182,890.21 for operation and care of locks and dams. The ex- penditures were $177,960.65. Condition at end of fiscal year.--All locks and dams are complete and in operation. The navigation channel has been widened at cer- tain points, and in general, maintained to project depth, affording ade- quate depth at all times for the passage of commercial tows. Re- maining work to complete the project consists of dredging, and concluding work relative to land acquisition in Pool 9.

OHIO RIVER, OPEN-CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement, see page 1628. 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 Harber 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. The estimate of annual cost for channel maintenance, made in 1947, is $10,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 9, 61st Cong., 2d sess.). The project was modified by the Chief of Engineers September 7, 1934, to provide for two locks and dams in lieu of three RIVERS AND HARBORS--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1833 locks and dams previously authorized (no printed report). A map of the river is printed in House Document 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.-U. S. derrick boat Monallo commenced dredging the channel between the mouth and Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa. A total of 3,660 cubic yards was dredged during the fiscal year. The total costs were $5,518.87, all for maintenance. The expendi- tures were $3,660. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No canalization has been done on the existing project. The effect of pool 2, Monongahela River, per- mits movement from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa., by commercial tows. The total cost since the adoption of the exist- ing project was $80,154.41, all for maintenance. The total expendi- tures under the existing project were $78,295.54. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1947, totaling $8,343.71, plus an allotment of $18,300 made in August 1947, will be applied to accounts payable and hired labor maintenance dredging of a 9-foot channel between the mouth and Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa. The additional sum of $20,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, to be applied to maintenance dredging of the 9-foot channel from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa.

TYGART RIVER DAM, W. VA. Location.-The dam site is located on the Tygart River in Taylor County, W. Va., about 22.7 miles above the mouth of the river at Fair- mont, W. Va. It is 2.25 miles upstream from Grafton, W. Va., and about 78 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located in Taylor and Barbour Counties, W. Va. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Fairmont, Thornton, and Belington, W. Va.) Existing project.-The construction of a concrete gravity dam was authorized by the Public Works Administration January 11, 1934, and adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935. This dam is 1,921 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. The estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the dam, revised in 1947, is $33,000. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Work was in progress on the preparation of a master plan for recreational devel- opment of the reservoir area in cooperation with the State of West Virginia. Maintenance (operating and care) : The reservoir was operated ef- fectively, as required, and necessary repairs made to the dam and related structures. No major repairs were made during the year. No damaging flood occurred on the Monongahela or Ohio Rivers during the year. During September and October 1946 run-off was RIVERS AND HARBORS PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1835 deficient in the Monongahela Basin so that normal navigation pool stages were maintained in the Monongahela River only by the release of an average daily flow of about 300 second-feet from storage in the reservoir. Routine operations were made throughout the year in accordance with the storage schedule, except on the occasion of several minor rises when some water was stored and released as river condi- tions permitted. The highest level reached by the reservoir pool dur- ing the ydar was elevation 1,121.5 on June 11, 1947, when 165,100 acre- feet of water was in storage. The total costs were $23,342.58, of which $962.81 was for new work, and $22,379.77 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $23,770.04. Conditions at end of fiscal year.--The project is fully complete, ex- cept for the conclusion of negotiations with the State of West Virginia regarding certain lands and the completion of a master plan for recrea- tional development in cooperation with 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.

TIONESTA RESERVOIR, PA. Location.-The dam site is located on Tionesta Creek, 1.25 miles :above the junction of the creek with the Allegheny River at Tionesta, Pa., and about 78 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located entirely in Forest County, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Tionesta, Tidioute, and Sheffield, Pa.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a flood- control reservoir dam of the earth-fill type with separate uncon- trolled saddle spillway and tunnel outlet works. The dam is 1,050 feet long at the top, rises 154 feet above the stream bed, and pro- vides for the gross storage of 133,400 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 483 square miles. Of this storage 125,600 acre-feet are available for flood prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The remaining 7,800 acre-feet are in permanent storage. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pitts- burgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1945, is $5,300,000. The estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation if the dam, made in 1947, is $28,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. 1840 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Some pre- liminary work was performed, consisting of miscellaneous engineer- ing work. Landscaping at the dam site was performed by hired labor. Bids were rejected for the construction of the storage building, and the work readvertised. Bids were rejected for the domestic water supply system, and the work will be performed by hired labor. Bids were advertised for paving the access road and parking area. Nego- tiations relative to final conclusion of land acquisition and legal work pertaining thereto were continued. An option was executed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to convey 582.75 acres of land to the United States, comprising the dam-site area, including a release by the Commonwealth to the United States of all claims or costs, incurred or expenditures made in the relocation of utilities. 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 through- out the year. Heavy rains and melting snow on the 4th and 5th of April caused the maximum flood of record at many points in the upper Allegheny basin. The water retained during this flood reduced flood damage along the Allegheny River from Tionesta to Franklin, Pa. Routine operations were made during the remainder of the year, except on the occasion of several minor rises, when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. The highest level reached by the reservoir pool during the year was elevation 1,141.8 on April 9, 1947, when 69,100 acre-feet of water was in storage. The total costs were $120,767.16 of which $103,214.52 was for new work and $17,552.64 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $119,589.49. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and the reservoir is in operation as a unit of the reservoir system designed for the protection of Pittsburgh and the reduction of flood heights 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 build- ing; completion of landscaping, paving parking area and access road; and installation of piezometers and water supply system for dwellings and 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 con- sists of 2,986.40 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 68.0 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.

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.) Ewisting project.-The plan of improvement provides for increas- 1846 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 ing the channel capacity by enlarging and realining the existing chan- nels and protecting the banks with concrete pavement. Miscellaneous features of work include relocation of railroad tracks, highway and utilities, and alterations to sewers, drains, bridge piers, and other struc- tures. The improvement involves about 46,290 feet of channel as fol- lows: The Conemaugh River for a distance of 19,270 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 6,950 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. The estimated cost of new work, revised in June 1947, is $8,890,000. The estimate of annual-cost for channel maintenance, made in 1947, is $8,000. 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. Design of remedial measures for protection against scour in the Little Conemaugh River (unit 4) was continued. Maintenance.-The channel was maintained in a satisfactory con- dition. Stream gaging operations were carried on at various points during the year. The total costs were $4,388.81, of which $3,219.24 was for new work and $1,169.57 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $3,865.90. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The improved channels are fully complete except for the completion of remedial measures for protection against scour in unit 4. Construction was accomplished by units, con- sisting of units 1, 2, 3, and supplementary unit 2A, all in the Cone- maugh River section, unit 4 comprising the Little Conemaugh River section, and units 5 and 6 comprising the-Stony Creek section. All work necessary to the acquisition of land is approximately 99 percent complete. The total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 0.60 acre in fee simple and flowage easements over 397.19 acres.

MAHONING CREEK RESERVOIR, PA. Location.-The dam site is located on Mahoning Creek in Armstrong County, Pa., 21.6 miles above the junction of the creek with the Alle- gheny River. It is about 61/2 miles southeast of New Bethlehem, Pa., and about 51 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located in Armstrong, Indiana, and Jefferson Counties, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Rural Valley and Smicksburg, Pa.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a flood- control reservoir dam of the concrete gravity type with a gate- controlled center spillway flanked by abutment sections joining the valley sides. The dam is 926 feet long at the top, rises 160 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross controlled storage of 74,200 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 341 square miles. Of this storage 69,700 acre-feet are available for flood prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The remaining 4,500 acre-feet are in permanent storage. Two pen- stocks are contained in the structure for possible future generation of hydroelectric power. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a co- ordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approvel June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1938, is $6,500,000. The estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the dam, made in 1947, is $27,000. Local cooperation.-S'ection 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. Bids were rejected for the construction of the storage building and the work was readvertised. In connection with the acquisition of land, payment of cases in condemnatipn only was made. FLOOD CONTROL---PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1849 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. No damaging floods occurred on the lower Allegheny and Ohio Rivers during the year. Routine operations were made throughout the year except on the occasion of several minor rises when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. The highest level reached by the reservoir pool during the year was eleva- tion 1,114.7 on May 19, 1947, when 15,900 acre-feet of water was in storage. The total costs are $49,532.01, of which $29,840.50 was for new work and $19,691.51 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $49,548.66. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and the res- ervoir is in operation as a unit in the reservoir system designed for the protection of Pittsburgh and the reduction of flood heights in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. All work necessary to the acquisition of land in the reservoir area is approximately 99 percent complete. The total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 2,520.21 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 76.89 acres.

Of this storage 5,200 acre- feet are in permanent storage and the remaining 248,800 acre-feet are available for flood control, navigation aid, and pollution-abate- ment purposes. The reservior is operated as required for flood- prevention purposes as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley gen- erally. The project was selected for construction under the gen- eral authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work, revised in June 1947, is $9,680,000. The estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the dam, made in 1947, is $31,000. 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. Construction of the concrete spillway lining was commenced by contract and a satisfactory rate of progress was maintained through- out the period. A contract was awarded and work commenced on the paving of the access road and parking area. Approximately 960 acres of land in the reservoir area were recleared by hired labor. In con- nection with the acquisition of land, a flowage easement over 0.48 acre was acquired and several condemnation cases were paid. 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. No damaging floods occurred on the Youghiogheny or Ohio Rivers during the year. The reservoir surface was maintained at or near the minimum pool level throughout the year to prevent the flooding of U. S. No. 40, a main highway which has not been relocated as yet. The highest level reached by the reservoir pool during the year was elevation 1,358.88 on June 11, 1947, when 14,100 acre-feet of water was in storage. The total costs were $1,154,072.61, of which $1,135,475.49 was for new work and 0';18,597.12 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,083,996.65. Condition at end of fiscal year.- The dam is complete except for completion of the concrete spillway lining and the reservoir is in operation for flood control, navigation aid, and pollution abatement 1856 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 purposes. For flood prevention, the reservoir is operated as a unit in the reservoir system designed for the, protection of Pittsburgh and the reduction of flood heights in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The construction of the concrete spillway lining is 88 percent complete. Reclearing of the reservoir by hired labor forces is approximately 40 percent complete. All work necessary to the acquisition of land in the reservoir area is approximately 98.5 percent complete. The total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 4,033.19 acres in fee simple and flowage easement over 0.48 acre. Work remaining to be done consists of preliminary work; making settlements relative to utilities and highways affected by the reservoir; work in connection with final conclusion of land acquired; reclearing of reservoir area; construction of the concrete spillway lining, damtenders' dwellings, public sanitary building and storage building; installation of water supply system for dwellings; completion of landscaping, surfacing of access road and parking area, and certain miscellaneous appurte- nances to the dam. Construction of the public sanitary building is contingent upon the preparation of a master plan for recreational development at this reservoir, at which time the need for such a building will be more definitely determined. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all from regular funds, were $8,930,882.92, of which $8,863,576.37 was for new work and $67,306.55 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $8,834,216.46.

BERLIN RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location.-The dam site is located on the Mahoning River about 73 miles above its confluence with the Shenango River. It is about 10 miles above the existing Milton Reservoir Dam and 35 miles up- stream from Warren, Ohio. The reservoir is located in Portage, Mahoning, and Stark Counties, Ohio. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Warren, Ravenna, and Alliance, Ohio.) Existing project.--This provides for the construction of a reser- voir dam with a partially controlled, concrete, gravity, center spill- way flanked by rolled-fill abutment sections joining the valley sides. The dam is 5,750 feet long at the top, rises 95 feet above the stream: bed, and provides for the gross controlled storage of 91,200 acre- feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 250 square miles. Of this storage, 1,800 acre-feet are in permanent storage and the remaining 89,400 acre-feet are available for flood control and water supply purposes in the industrialized Mahoning Valley below. The project .was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Acts ap- proved June 28, 1938, and August 18, 1941. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $6,381,000. Thee FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA.5 DISTRICT 1859 estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the dam, made in 1947, is $31,000. 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. The paving of the entrance and access roads was completed under contract. A contract was awarded and work commenced on the construction of the storage building. A license was consummated between the Secretary of the Army and the State of Ohio whereby the State assumed control over the management of fish and game in the reservoir area. Negotiations were continued relative to utility settlements. In connection with the acquisition of land in the reser- voir area, several condemnation cases were paid. Maintenance (operating and care) : The reservoir was operated effectively for low-water regulation, as required, and necessary repairs were made to operators' temporary quarters and grounds throughout the fiscal year. No damaging floods occurred on the Mahoning, Beaver, or Ohio Rivers during the year. Routine operations in accordance with the low-water schedule for maintaining satisfactory flows at Youngstown were made throughout the year except on the occasion of several minor rises when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. The highest level reached by the reservoir pool during the year was elevation, 1,031.35 on June 8, 1947, when 87,700 acre-feet of water was in storage. The total costs were $49,819.54, of which $30,843.05 was for new work and $18,976.49 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $49,335.53. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and the reservoir is in operation for flood control and low-water regulation purposes in the industrialized Mahoning Valley below. Approxi- mately 95 percent of clearing work in the reservoir area has been completed. All work necessary to the acquisition of land in the res- ervoir area is approximately 96 percent complete. The total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 6,935.10 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 1,054.76 acres. The construction of the storage building under contract is approximately 25 percent com-. plete. Work remaining to be done consists of preliminary work; com- pleting clearing of the reservoir area; completing a utility settlement; completion of settlements in connection with highway relocation; con- cluding all work in connection with the acquisition of land; construc- tion of a concrete stilling weir and gage house, public sanitary build- ing, storage building, and damtenders' dwellings; completing land- scaping, planning for erosion control, and completing certain miscel- laneous appurtenances to the dam. Planning and construction of the public sanitary building and parking area is contingent upon the -action taken on the proposed agreement 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, all from regular funds, were $5,997,705.99, of which $5,903,388.22 was for new work and :$94,317.77 for maintenance.

S. ARMY, 1947 17. 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 reser- 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. The estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the dam, made in 1947, is $27,000. 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. The drilling and testing of the water well, the installation of the heating system for the operating house, and the construction of the outlet works operating house were completed under contract. Landscaping at the dam site was performed by hired labor. Licenses were consummated between the Secretary of the Army and the State of Ohio in connection with recreational development and the manage- ment of fish and game and the administration of fish and game laws in the reservoir area. Relative to the acquisition of land, several cases in condemnation were paid. Maintenance (operating and care) : The reservoir was operated ef- fectively for low water regulation, as required, and necessary repairs made to the grounds and plant. No damaging floods occurred on the Mahoning, Beaver, or Ohio Rivers during the year. Routine opera- tions in accordance with the low-water schedule for maintaining satis- factory flows at Youngstown were made throughout the year except on the occasion of several minor rises when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. The highest level reached by FLOOD CONTROL---PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1863 the reservoir pool during the year was elevation 903.6 on June 3, 1947, when 101,000 acre-feet of water was in storage. The total costs were $45,454.81, of which $32,155.37 was for new work and $13,299.44 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $46,- 727.21. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and is in oper- ation for flood-control and low-water regulation purposes in the in- dustrialized Mahoning and Beaver Valleys, below. All work necessary to the final conclusion of the acquisition of land in the reservoir area is approximately 98 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 consists of preliminary work; 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 agree- ment; 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 miscellaneous 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 recreation development. The total costs to the end of tlhe fiscal year, all from regular funds, were $3,787,953.10 of which $3,750,419.14 was for new work and $37,- 533.96 for maintenance.

It is about 2 miles northeast of Tunnelton, Pa., and about 42 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located in Westmoreland and Indiana Counties, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Sur- vey charts for Latrobe, New Florence, and Elders Ridge, Pa.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a flood con- trol reservoir dam of the concrete gravity type with a gate-controlled center spillway flanked by abutment sections joining the valley sides 1870 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEIiS,, u., S. ARMY, 1947 and an earth embankment terminating in the right abutment. The dam, 1,290 feet long at the top and rising 137 feet above the stream bed, will provide for the gross controlled storage of 274,000 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 1,351 square miles. Of this storage, 270,000 acre-feet will be available for flood-control purposes. The remaining 4,000 acre-feet will be in permanent storage. The reservoir will be operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley, genrerally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Acts ap- proved June 22, 1936, and June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work, .revised in February 1946, is $33,000,000. 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.

EAST BRANCH, CLARION RIVER RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. Location.-The dam site is located in Elk County, Pa., on the East Branch of the Clarion River above Middle Fork, approximately 7 miles above the junction of the East and West Branches of the. Clarion River at Johnsonburg, Pa., and approximately 151 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located entirely in Elk County, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for Mount Jewett, Pa.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a reser- voir dam of the rolled earth-fill type with outlet facilities through the dam, and an uncontrolled side-hill spillway. The dam, 1,630 feet long at the top and rising 179 feet above the stream bed, will provide for the gross controlled storage of 83,700 acre-feet, from a tributary 1874 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 drainage area of 71 square miles. Of this storage, 79,700 acre-feet will be available for flood control and low-water regulation purposes, in the Clarion River Valley below. The reservoir will be operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pitts- burgh and the upper Ohio Valley, generally. 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 December 22, 1944. The estimated cost of new work, revised in August 1946, is $7,370,200. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: The prepa- ration of the detailed plans was completed and forwarded to higher authority for approval. Drilling of vertical test holes for the dam site at two sites, one located 0.5 and the other 0.75 mile above the Middle Fork' on the East Branch of the Clarion River, approximately 6 miles northeast of Johnsonburg, Pa., was completed under contract. The preparation of contract plans for the gate frames, conduit liners, and embedded metal for the outlet works was under way. In connection with the outlet works open cut excavation, contract plans and speci- fications were completed, contract awarded, and work started in June 1947. Clearing the area of trees and brush was under way. Condemna- tion petition and order of possession were filed on four tracts of land. The total costs were $166,646.68, all for new work. The total ex- penditures were $165,665.62. Condition at the end of the fiscal year.-The outlet works open cut excavation is in progress under contract.

RIVERS AND HARBORS---DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1889 2. 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 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, was $209,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $6,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1879 Breakwaters and dredging of anchorage area of 26 H. Ex.

These facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results duri gi fiscal year.-No work was done or funds expended. Conditionat 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.-An allotment made during July 1947, $1,000, will be applied to maintenance surveys by hired labor. 1890 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1893 4. KNIFE RIVER HARBOR, MINN. Location.-The harbor is located near the mouth of Knife River, on the north shore of Lake Superior, 19 miles northeasterly from Duluth, Minn. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 96.) Existing project.-This provides for a flared entrance channel 12 feet deep from that depth in Lake Superior reducing to a width of 60 feet at the inner end; for an inner channel 60 feet wide and 10 feet deep, with a length of 100 feet; and for two inner slips 60 feet wide and 8 feet deep, in the form of a Y with an aggregate length of about 850 feet. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary seasonal variation of water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. The harbor is subject to extreme fluctuations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric conditions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevail- ing at the time. The estimated cost for new work, made in 1946, is $21,500. The latest (1945) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $200. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 686, 77th 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 condition that local interests- (1) Provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way and spoil disposal areas needed for the initial work and subsequent maintenance when and as required. (2) Establish and maintain a suitable public wharf, with highway connection, open to all on equal terms. (3) Establish a public or quasi-public agency which will own the land immediately adjacent to the harbor and which will regulate the use, growth, and development of all harbor facilities on a nonprofit basis and in the best interest of the public. (4) Hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvement. None of the above requirements have been complied with. Local interests have acquired title to the necessary lands. Terminal facilities.-No terminal facilities have been constructed. 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. Proposed operation.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1948. New work, consisting of dredging of an entrance channel, turning basin, and inner slips, will be required under the approved project. The sum of $21,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for this work. 1894 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

S. ARMY, 1947 6. 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. 114, 56th Cong., 1st sess.). For latest pub- lished map see Annual Report for 1903, page 1810. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are four privately owned fishing wharves which are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The following mainte- nance work was done by United States plant: 13,027 cubic yards of material were dredged from the entrance channel; the outer 45 linear- feet of the west pier was rebuilt with steel sheet piling. The costs- of the work done during the year were as follows: $14,868.54 for dredg- ing; $26,858.82 for pier repairs; and $331.63 for inspections and sur- veys. The total costs were $42,058.99, all for maintenance. The total expenditures were $41,886.42. Conditionat 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 innner 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 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS--DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1899 At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depth was 7 feet for a width of 70 feet between the piers and 9 feet for a width of 100 feet in the lake approach. To complete the project it would be neces- sary to widen the channel 50 feet between the piers and to extend the turning slip 300 feet and construct an additional 450 feet of revet- ment. The total costs were $162,213.63, of which $48,355.23 was for new work and $113,858.40 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $162,213.63.

KEWEENAW WATERWAY, MICH. Location.-This waterway is a navigable channel, minimum width 300 feet, 25 miles long, partly natural and partly artificial, across Keweenaw Point, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 944.) Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) A waterway across Keweenaw Peninsula via Portage Lake, 25 feet deep and 300 feet wide, increased to 400 feet through Portage Lake below the shoal at its head and with a' straight cut-off channel from Princess Point to Messners Point. (b) Flaring eastern entrance from Keweenaw Bay, 28 feet deep in the outer portion, diminishing to 25 feet in the inner portion, pro- tected by a breakwater 5,714 feet long. (c) A mooring basin inside the east entrance, one-half mile long, 800 feet wide, and 25 feet deep, with mooring piers protected by fender piling. (d) Converging breakwaters at the western entrance, with westerly breakwater 2,645 feet long and easterly breakwater 2,485 feet, having an entrance 500 feet wide between the breakwaters. (e) A western entrance channel 32 feet deep lakeward of the en- trance between the breakwaters, diminishing to 25 feet in quiet water and enlarged inside of the breakwaters into a maneuvering basin, 1,000 feet in maximum width and 3,000 feet long. (f) A mooring basin inside the west entrance 3,600 feet long and 800 feet wide and 25 feet deep, with mooring piers protected by fender piling. (g) Reveting the banks as necessary. (A) 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 1947, is $7,540,000. 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.

I Included in the Emergency Relief Administration program, May 28, 1935. 2 Contains the latest published maps. Local cooperation.-None required. 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: Revetment construction by contract at the upper entrance was started. Steel materials for the work were furnished by the Government during the fiscal year. The costs of the various items of new work done during the year were as follows: $212,665.61 for revetment construction and $2,341.99 for preliminary work, a total of $215,007.60, all for new work. Maintenance: The following maintenance work was performed by United States plant: 50,192 cubic yards of material were dredged in the Upper Canal, Lily Pond, and Lower Canal; 1,663 tons of stone were placed on the west breakwater at the upper entrance and repairs were made to revetments at the upper entrance. The costs of the various items of maintenance work done during the year were as follows: $33,677.27 for dredging; $25,577.48 for break- water repairs; $16,218.91 for revetment repairs; $22,414.76 for inspec- tions, surveys, preliminary plans, and waterway patrol, a total of $97,888.42, all for maintenance. The total costs were $312,896.02 and the total expenditures were $312,242.02. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project is 72 percent complete. The breakwaters are in good condition except for a weak- ness occurring in about 300 feet of the substructure of the breakwater at the lower entrance, and the stone-covered portions of the break- waters at the upper entrance are in need of minor repairs. The remain- ing timber revetments along the waterway are in poor condition. The mooring pier at the Lily Pond requires repairs to halt movement, and permit dredging to project depth adjacent thereto, and that at the Portage River harbor of refuge is in good condition. Annual redredg- 1908 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 ing of channels will be required indefinitely. The controlling depth on June 30, 1947, was 25 feet. To complete the project there remains the extension of the lower entrance' breakwater, and the necessary alteration or replacement of structures due to deepening of channels. For work performed with regular funds, the costs of the existing project were $5,223,259.77 for new work and $2,781,236.66 for mainte- nance, a total of $8,004,496.43. The total expenditures were $8,010,887.81. 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 $8,187,322.20 of which $5,406,085.54 was for new work and $2,781,236.66 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $8,193,713.58.

Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.-These consist of one ore dock, one coal dock, one oil wharf, and two old wharves seldom used. 1914 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 There are also several small fish wharves without railroad connec- tions. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairs were made to rubble-mound breakwater consisting of placing 553 tons of stone by Government plant and hired labor. The costs of the work done during the year were $15,071.29 for breakwater repairs, $99.66 for surveys, a total of $15,170.95. The total expenditures were $15,109.03. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. The concrete-covered breakwater was completed in the fiscal year 1905, the rubble-mound portion of the breakwater in 1922, and the dredging in 1935. The rubble-mound portion of the breakwater is in good condition, but patching and resurfacing are necessary on a portion of the concrete-capped breakwater. The controlling depth in the harbor is 25 feet. The total cost was $1,490,544.29, of which $1,117,311.56 was for new work and $373,232.73 for maintenance, including $72,188.05 Public Works funds for new 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, due to wind and barometric conditions, of about 1 foot above or below the.mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1894, is $484,000. The latest. (1918) approved estimate for annual maintenance is $15,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents -------- Existing project, except for pile dike---- in act.

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. Dec. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-None required. 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.-Preliminarywork in connection with maintenance dredging was done at a cost of $2,973.72. The total expenditures were $3,490.30. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project as a whole is 76 percent complete. The protective jetty was completed in 1910 and recon- structed as a rubble mound in 1929. It is in good condition. The turning basin at the Warroad wharves was completed in 1911, and a channel 200 feet wide and 8 feet deep was completed in 1915. The controlling depth in the channel 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. 1920 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 The work to be done to complete that part of the existing project outside of the present used dredging lines consists of widening the lake channel from 200 to 300 feet for a distance of 7,460 feet. This has not been done, as the additional width is not necessary to meet present requirements. The total costs of the existing project at the end of the fiscal year were $83,805.36 for new work and $286,675.68 for maintenance, a total of $370,481.04. The total expenditures were $404,604.86. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, $146.25, plus an allotment of $16,000 made during July 1947 will be applied to maintenance as follows: Accounts payable----------------------------- $27. 93 Dredging with U.

BAUDETTE HARBOR, MINN. 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 Min- nesota.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a channel 6 feet deep and 75 feet wide extending from the mouth of Baudette River up- stream 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.

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. 1922 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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.-No work was done or funds expended. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 23 percent complete. The available depth in the channel on June 30, 1947, 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. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated in the fiscal years 1948 and 1949.

Location.-This harbor is on the north shore of Lake Michigan, about 135 miles northeasterly from Green Bay Harbor and 220 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 701.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details see page 1933 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1422 of Annual Report for 1938. 1927 1928 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Existing project.-This provides for two breakwaters extending from the shore on either side of the mouth of the Manistique River, 1,744 and 1,480 feet in length for the east and west bre.akwatrs, re- spectively, and for a channel 18 feet deep except where rock is en- countered 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 superstruc- ture; 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 (1947) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $14,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Act Work authorized Document Mar. 3,1905 Breakwaters and outer harbor_.---------- -.---.-- H.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied 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 4,967 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $8,677.18. Dredging and sweeping channel to remove loose rock was commenced. About 415 tons of loose rock and boulders were removed at a cost of $19,021.60. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $27,698.78 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $27,846.53. Conditionat 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 plank-crib pier is in a very dilapidated condition and should be rebuilt. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1929 close of the fiscal year were 17.4 feet in the channel through the outer basin to the river mouth, thence 16.1 feet in river to about 450 feet above the car-ferry slip, decreasing to about 13.6 feet over a width of about 50 feet along the west revetment to the coal wharf. The costs under the existing' project were $307,252.18 for new work and $204,984.99 for maintenance, at total of $512,237.17. The total expenditures were $512,384.92. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $1,293.31, plus an allotment of $12,500 made during August 1947, a total of $13,793.31, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947 ----------------.-------------- $1, 241. 15 Maintenance: Operation of U.

For further details see page 1933 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1424 of Annual Report for 1938. fEisting project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the river by parallel piers 400 feet apart and about 1,870 and 2,681 feet: in length for the north and south piers, respectively; for a channel 21 feet deep from that depth in the bay to the upper end of the Marinette municipal wharf, about 4,700 feet above the Ogden Street: Bridge, and 10,700 feet from the outer end in the bay where the width is 600 feet, reducing to 300 feet between the piers and up to Ogden Street Bridge, thence 200 feet in the river to the upper end of the municipal wharf, with an enlarged turning basin 21 feet deep on south side of the channel just below that wharf and for a channel 12 feet deep and generally 90 feet wide upstream from the upper end of the municipal wharf for a distance of 2,500 feet to the vicinity of the Marinette Yacht Club. Except for 168 feet of concrete caissons at outer end of south pier, the piers are formed of stone-filled piling and' timber cribs, the entire north pier and 2,156 feet of the south pier having been repaired with concrete superstructure. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York.

Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip, there are numerous wharves for handling coal, building materials, and miscellaneous com- modities. The city of Marinette has provided a public wharf. The facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, except that there is need for a public wharf owned by the city of Menominee with warehouse and railway connection. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of reinforcing substructure and constructing new rubble superstructure on 525 linear feet of the south pier, by hired labor and use of Govern- ment plant, at a cost of $42,462.50 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $44,081.01. 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. The dredging 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 therefor 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 $513,234.79 for maintenance, a total of $662,739.28. The total expenditures were $665,757.61. 766707---48--pt. 1, vol. 2-----38 1932 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 of Engineers March 11, 1897. For further details see page 1934 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1427 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing 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.

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 1934 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 year were 7 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. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $1,000, made during August 1947, will be applied to sounding harbor, care, and supervision. Soundings are necessary to determine the condition of the existing channel. The additional sum of $1,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, for such work.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT . 1937 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 maintennce as required and contribute $x0,000 toward the cost of dredging the turning basin at the mouth of East River. Local interests were notified on October 29, 1945, of the required conditions and requested to furnish assurances that they will be met. The $30,000 required to be contributed has been set aside by the city council. Negotiations for required easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas are in progress. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are numerous wharves for the handling of coal, petroleum products, grain, pulpwood, wood pulp, sulfur, ce- ment, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities located on this waterway. Green Bay has provided a municipal wharf open to the public. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 95,150 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $35,756.81 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $35,304.77. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was completed in 1938. No work has been done on the last modification of the project providing for a turning basin at the mouth of East River. Deepening and widening the outer channel was completed in 1936. The channel in Fox River through the city of Green Bay was completed in 1935. The turning basin above the Chicago & North Western Railway bridge was com- pleted in 1938. The inner channel and turning basin was completed in 1926. The east revetment at Grassy Island, built in 1869, is in good condition. The west revetment was removed in 1935. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 22 feet in the outer channel and in the channel through the city of Green Bay, 20 feet in turning basin above railway bridge, and 17 feet in the inner channel, including the turning basin at De Pere.

FOX RIVER, WIS. Location.-This river rises in Columbia County, Wis., and flows in a northerly direction into Green Bay. Its length is about 176 miles. The Wolf River, physically the main river but by designation a 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 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.

Terminal facilities.-The wharf a-Md landing facilities are in gen- eral adequate for the accommodation of existing commerce. Recommended modifications of project.-Legislation authorizing the abandonment of that part of the improvement of Wolf River above Fremont and the upper Fox River from the mouth of the Wolf to the Wisconsin River has been recommended in House Document 146, Sixty-seventh Congress, second session. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Maintenance: Opera- tions consisted of stone paving and other miscellaneous repairs and improvements to left canal bank below Appleton second lock; taking random soundings in upper Fox River; removing obstructions from river at Appleton and between Omro and Berlin lock; and removing loose stone from canal at Kaukauna and Little Chute, at a total cost of $1,209.45 for maintenance. Operating and care: Operations consisted of making necessary re- pairs to locks, dams, canal banks, and lock houses, including cleaning and painting 10 sluice gates at De Pere Dam, 1 sluice gate at Rapide Croche Dam and the upper and lower gates at Little Kaukauna lock; also rebuilding the upper portion of the timber lining at Montello lock, at a cost of $29,563.31. The locks and dams were operated in accordance with the existing project and gages were read at a cost of $143,138.07. All work was done by hired labor and use of Gov- ernment plant. The total cost of operating and care was $172,701.38. The total cost of all work was $173,910.83. The total net expenditures were $168,895.33. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 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 standard low water at the close of the fiscal year were as follows: Fox River: Feet De Pere to mouth of Wolf River------------------ ------------- 6. 0 Thence to Eureka lock------------ ---------------------------- 3. 2 Thence to White River lock- - ------------------------------ 2. 0 Thence to Grand River lock---------------------------------- 1. 5 Thence to Montello lock_--_---------------------- 4. 2 Thence to Governor Bend lock ----- --------------------------- 2. 5 Thence to Fort Winnebago lock-------------------------------1. 5 Thence to Wisconsin River--------------- 1------------------. 8 Wolf River: Mouth to 1 mile below Partridge Crop Lake__ Thence to New London ------- ___------ - _________---- -- ---------- 3. 5 2. 0 Harbors on Lake Winnebago----___ '----------------------------- 1. 0-3. O0 The practicable drafts of vessels are about one-half foot less than the controlling depths which prevail throughout the year except when the rivers are frozen, usually from December 1 to April 1. The head of navigation for boat traffic is New London on the Wolf River and Portage on the upper Fox, except that during high water on the Wis- consin River boats can proceed from Portage to the Mississippi River. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is dredging 1944 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 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 $4,074,906.71 for maintenance, including $1,577,887.27 for operating and care, a total of $4,946,630.72. The total expenditures were $4,945,414.74. In addition, the sum of $3,795,- 495.53 (including $89,309.40 under previous projects) was expended between July 5, 1884, and June 30, 1935, on the operating and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $5,668.71, plus an allotment of $430,000 made during August 1947, a total of $435,668.71, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947 ------------------------------ $4, 403. 33 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 possession of the canal April 25, 1893, as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of 1946 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 July 13, 1892. The original project for the canal was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894, modified by River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896. For further details see page 1935 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1441 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an outer harbor or stilling basin protected by two converging breakwaters, each 1,344 feet in length, extending from the shore on either side of the easterly or Lake Michigan end of the canal; for a revetted canal 7,200 feet in length, varying in width from 160 to 250 feet; for a channel 23 feet deep in rock cut, extending from that depth in Lake Michigan to about 800 feet west of the east entrance of the revetted canal, a length of about 0.6 mile; thence a channel 22 feet deep through an additional 6,400 feet of revetted canal and through Sturgeon Bay to the vicinity of Sherwood Point, a length of about 8 miles, the total length of channel being about 8.6 miles; the width of channel being 600 feet in Lake Michigan, reducing to 200 feet through the harbor and 130 to 220 feet through the revetted canal, thence 250 feet through Sturgeon Bay to a point 5,400 feet northwest of the railroad bridge in the city of Sturgeon Bay and thence 500 feet to the vicinity of Sherwood Point; 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 con- crete 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.

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 stone wharf located about 5 miles northwesterly from the city of Sturgeon Bay. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Operations consisted of completing the dredging to provide project depth of 20 feet in the turning basin between the city and the Bushman docks. A total of 17,250 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $8,Q05.61. Maintenance: Spundings were taken at a deferred cost of $3,261.78. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $8,005.61 for new work. The total net expenditures were $12,133.86. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1946. 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 in the westerly section of the canal were completed in 1940. Deepening and widening the middle section of the canal was completed in 1942 and dredging of the turning basin in 1946. The entrance piers are in good condition. The pile revet- ments require repairs and backfilling. The controlling depths at low- water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 22 feet in the canal and 20 feet in the turning basin. The costs under the existing project were $736,303 for new work and $1,186,632.98 for maintenance, a total of $1,922,935.98. The total expenditures were $1,926,197.76. In add- 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 provi- sion of the permanent indefinite appropriations for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $1,671.49, plus an allotment of $68,000 made during August 1947, a total of $69,671.49, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U. S. hopper dredge Burton, during fall of 1947_ --$13, 000. 00 Operation of U.

ALGOMA HARBOR, WIS. Location.-Algoma Harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 68 miles from Green Bay via Sturgeon Bay Canal and about 115 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 703.) RIVERS, AND .HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1949 Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873; March 3, 1875; July 5, 1884; and March 3, 1899. For further details see page 1935 of Annual Report of 1915 and page 1445, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an outer harbor 14 feet deep enclosed by a north pier, 1,102 feet long, extending approximately normal to the shore, and a south breakwater, 1,530 feet long, extend- ing from the shore at a point about 1,000 feet south of the remaining 481 feet of the pier on the south side of the channel at the mouth of Ahnapee River, and for a channel of same depth as outer harbor, except where rock is encountered at less depth, extending from that 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 o 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.-Operations consisted of taking soundings, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a deferred cost of $709.04 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $472.94. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1909. The north pier was completed in 1890, the south pier and breakwater and dredging in 1909. The north pier and south break- water are in good condition. The south stub pier at the river mouth is in a dilapidated condition. The controlling depths at low-water 1950 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 datum at the close of the fiscal year were 14.2 feet in the entrance channel to the outer end of south stub pier, decreasing to 12.3 feet to the coal wharf at the inner end of the north pier, thence 9 feet in a narrow channel to Second Street Bridge. The Ahnapee River is navigable for a distance of about 2 miles from its mouth for vessels drawing not more than 4 feet. The costs under the existing project were $99,236.15 for new work and $247,612.44 for maintenance, a total of $346,848.59. The total expenditures were $347,557.63. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $1,040.59, plus an allotment of $5,500 made during August 1947, a total of $6,540.59, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Riprap breakwater and piers with United States plant, 1,000 tons at $5.50, during the fall of 1947_ ----- ----------- __- $5, 500. 00 Sounding harbor---------------------------------------1, 040. 59 Total for all work ------------------------------------ 6, 540. 59 The south pier is in very poor condition and reconstruction is neces- sary.

KEWAUNEE HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 105 miles northerly from Milwaukee and about 78 miles from Green Bay, via Sturgeon Bay Canal. The harbor is at the mouth of the Kewaunee River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 73.) Previous projects.---The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. For further details, see page 1936 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1447 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a converging north breakwater 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 turn- ing basin of the same depth; also for removal of the outer south shoal to a depth of 22 feet. The parallel piers are formed of stone-filled piling and are capped with concrete superstructure. The north breakwater is formed of concrete 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, ex- clusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1947) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $14,000.

These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 22,556 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $11,- 440.99 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $11,090.59. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 71 per- cent complete. The piers were completed in 1897 and are in generally good condition except that the inner end of the south pier requires repairs. The north breakwater and shore connection, except for a gap of 150 feet about 830 feet from the shoreward end, and the removal of the outer 706.5 linear feet of the north pier were completed in 1937. Dredging the entrance channel and interior basin was completed in 1938: The work remaining to be done to complete the existing prcject consists of removal of the outer shoal and an additional 700 linear feet of the north pier, and closing the gap in the north-shore connection which is not considered necessary under present conditions. The con- trolling 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. The Kewaunee River is navigable for a distance of about 61/2 miles above the mouth for craft drawing not more than 4 feet.

'Existingproject.-Thisprovides 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 1954 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 revetment on north side of channel is also provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 33,188 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $18,146.48 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $18,078.08. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 88 percent complete. 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 depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 18 feet in the channel between the piers and in the inner basin.

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 proects.-The original project was adopted in 1854, the first appropriation for the improvement having been made by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852. The project was modified by subsequent River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1881, September 19, 1890, June 3, 1896, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1937 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1453 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an outer harbor or stilling basin formed by two breakwaters extending from the shore on either side.of the mouth of the Manitowoc River 425 feet apart at their outer ends and diverging to a distance of about 2,325 feet apart at their inner ends, having lengths of 2,540 feet and 2,290 feet for the north and south breakwaters, respectively; for a channel 21 feet deep, extending from that depth in the lake through the outer harbor to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 2,500 feet, with a width of about 650 feet; for a channel 21 feet deep in Manitowoc River from the river mouth to the second railway bridge, a distance of approxi- mately 1.7 miles, with widths of 180 feet at the mouth, reducing to 150 feet at the upper end, with intermediate reductions and 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.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1957 Local cooperation.-The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the work of dredging an approach channel to the proposed city terminal in the outer harbor "shall not be undertaken until local interests shall have submitted assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that such terminal will be constructed." The plan for the municipal ter- minal has been abandoned. All other requirements have been com- plied 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 11,700 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $10,411.83. Sweeping and removal of obstructions in river cost $3,078.47. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $13,490.30 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $14,672.10. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 87 percent complete. The breakwaters completed in 1910 are in good condition. Dredging of the channel through the outer basin and re- moval of a portion 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 $576,237.09 for maintenance, a total of $1,012,989.11. The total expenditures were $1,014,176.75. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $8,277.30, plus an allotment of $46,000 made during August 1947, a total of $54,277.30 will be applied as follows: 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. Ekisting 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1959 of the river, and for a turning basin 900 feet wide and 20 feet deep in the outer harbor with an entrance channel about 3,500 feet long through the south side of the basin, the depth being 25 feet from the lakeward end to a point 500 feet shoreward of the end of the north breakwater, decreasing to 21 feet in the next 300 feet and continuing at the latter depth to the inner end of the improved channel, the widths to be 400 feet at the lakeward end and 500 feet through the turning basin, decreasing to 200 feet at the river mouth. The north break- water is formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling, all of which is capped with concrete superstructure. The south pier and north stub pier and revetment are formed of timber cribs and piling, all of which have also been provided with concrete superstruc- ture. 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 pr 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 of new work, revised in 1935, was $470,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1947) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $26,000.

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.-Operationsconsisted of taking soundings, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a deferred cost of $1,468.96 for maintenance. The total net expendi- tures were $1,323.97. 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 except that the concrete super- structure on the outer end of the north breakwater is disintegrating and requires repairs. The inner 260 feet of the south pier has been entirely removed and replaced with a revetment by private interests under permit granted July 16, 1931, by the Secretary 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 1960 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 were 25 feet at the entrance for 500 feet, thence 21 feet in channel and 20 feet in 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 $1,046,859.62. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $4,984.17, plus an allotment of $13,500 made during August 1947, a total of $18,484.17 will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U. S. dipper bredge Kewaunee, May 1948 -- $9, 484. 17 Riprap breakwater and pier with United States plant, 2,000 tons at $4.50, during the fall of 1947 aId spring of 1948---------- 9, 000. 00 Total for all work .---------------------------------- 18, 484. 17 Dredging is required annually for maintenance of project dimen- sions of channel.

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. EEisting 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 type. The south breakwater is formed of concrete caissons and rubble mound. The north stub pier is formed of stone-filled steel-sheet piling. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme-fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $875,000, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000. 1962 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, 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. Efisting project.-This provides for a north breakwater 9,954 feet long and a south breakwater 9,671 feet, more or less, in length, extend- ing to the shore, thereby forming a protected basin in which is being developed a commercial harbor by the city of Milwaukee, the width of entrance between the two breakwaters being about 500 feet. It further provides for the protection of the river mouth by two piers, 358 feet apart at the outer ends and 552 feet apart at the shore line, 1,656 and 1,608 feet in length for the north and south piers, respec- tively; for a channel 21 feet deep, extending from that depth in the lake to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 2,850 feet, the width of channel outside the piers to be 600 feet; 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 1/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1947, was $4,839,000 exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $113,000.

Local cooperation.-The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the original dredging of the outer harbor area be done by the city of Mil- waukee and the city of Milwaukee be reimbursed at actual cost but not to exceed 10 cents per cubic yard, place measurement, for original dredging done subsequent to the authorization of the work by Congress. Agreement covering the dredging was executed by the Secretary of War February 23, 1934, after this work was originally authorized as part of the Public Works program. All other requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides four car-ferry slips, there are numer- ous wharves, private and municipal, used for the handling of coal, grain, building materials, cement, petroleum products, and miscel- laneous commodities. As the facilities in the inner harbor are con- sidered inadequate for existing commerce, the Milwaukee Harbor Commission is engaged in building an outer harbor. Operations and results,during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of placing 991 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater at a cost of $5,162.97. Harbor soundings were taken at a cost of $1,508.23. Taking of soundings on the riprap along the breakwaters, in progress at the close of the fiscal year, cost $937.08. Repairs to concrete super- structure on the north breakwater, in progress at the close of the fiscal year, cost $23,023.23. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $30,631.51 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $33,860.06. 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 opera- tions for deepening and widening entrance channel were completed in 1930. Placing additional small stone around the caisson break- 1966 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 waters to chink the voids in the large riprap was completed in 1934. Prior to the modification of August 30, 1935, the city of Milwaukee dredged the area in the outer harbor south of the inner-entrance piers and lakeward of the pierhead line to more. than 21 feet below datum without cost to the United States. The concrete superstructures on the timber crib section of the north breakwater and on the harbor piers are showing some disintegration, and require repairs. The south breakwater and shore connection are in good condition. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 21 feet and more in the entrance channel through the outer basin and between the inner piers. The costs under the existing project were $4,537,812.20 for new work, $883,250.87 for maintenance, a total of $5,421,063.07. The total expenditures were $5,424,966.76. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $16,366.30, plus an allotment of $114,500 made during August 1947, a total of $130,866.30, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947_---------------------------.--- $3, 426. 71 Maintenance: Dredging scattered shoals in the Menomonee and Kinnickinnic Rivers by contract, August to November 1947_------------- 72, 000. 00 Operation of 1U.

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, 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.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-These consist of several wharves used for handling of coal and fish. The city has provided a public wharf with warehouse. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Operations consisted of dredging, by contract, for the removal of the outer shoals and to provide project depth and width in the channel through the outer basin and river channel. A total of 183,493 cubic yards of mate- rial was removed at a cost of $124,754.61. Maintenance: Soundings were taken, by hired labor and use of Gov- ernment plant, at a deferred cost of $2,097.01. The total cost was $124,754.61 for new work. The total net expenditures were $110,141.06. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was substan- tially completed in 1946. The north breakwater and shore connec- tion and north pier removal were completed in 1915. The south break- water and shore connection and south pier removal were completed in 1924. Removal of outer shoals, widening and deepening channel through outer basin and dredging the river channel were completed in 1946. The concrete superstructure on north breakwater and shore connection is disintegrating and requires repairs. The south break- water and shore connection and stub piers are in generally good condi- tion. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 21 feet in the channel through the outer basin and for a distance of about 800 feet in the river, thence 17.5 feet in the river to a point about 500 feet above State Street, and thence 16.7 feet to the upper limit of the project. The costs under the existing project were $777,774.65 for new work and $413,949.46 for maintenance, a total of $1,191,724.11. The total expenditures were $1,193,243.65.

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 channel 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, increas- ing 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 1974 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one- half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctua- tions of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, was $459,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance 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, easements, 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 dredging of the turning basin just above the mouth of Morrison Channel. Local interests were notified on November 5, 1945, of the required conditions and requested to furnish assurances that they will be met. Negotia- tions for required easements, rights of way and spoil disposal areas 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 adequate for existing traffic conditions, a public wharf open for all on equal terms should be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 72,425 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $30,755.09 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $30,700.65. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was completed in 1938. No work has RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1975 been done on the last modification of the project providing for a turning basin just above the mouth of the Morrison Channel. Pier construction was completed in 1904 and dredging of the channel in 1938. The piers and revetments are in generally good condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 21 feet in the channel to Benton Harbor Canal and 15.8 feet in Benton Harbor Canal to Ninth Street. The costs under the existing project were $366,683.16 for new work and $855,536.27 for maintenance, a total of $1,222,219.43. The total expenditures were $1,222,104.51.

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." According to latest information, no land will be required, as enlargement of the basin is not desired by local interests. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-These consist of several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, wood pulp, fish, and miscellaneous commodities. The city has constructed a municipal wharf and ware- house. The municipal wharf is leased to a private corporation which operates it in the interest of general commerce on like terms for like service. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 73,400 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $25,- 157.23 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $26,506.55. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 87 percent complete. The piers were completed in 1913 and dredging of the channel and existing turning basin in 1938. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of enlargement of the turning basin, which is not now desired by local interests. The piers and revetments are in generally good condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 20.5 feet in the channel between the piers and 19 feet in the river and existing turning basin. The costs under the existing project were $204,047.38 for new work and $646,275.63 for maintenance, a total of $850,323.01. The total expenditures were $851,562.61.

GRAND HAVEN HARBOR AND GRAND RIVER, MICH. Location.-The harbor is located on the east shore of Lake Michi- gan, distant about 108 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 23 miles northerly from Holland. The river rises in Jackson County, Mich., and flows in a general westerly direction into Lake Michigan, with a total length of about 260 miles. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 765, and U. S. Geological Survey Grand Rapids quadrangle.) Previous projects.-The original project for the river was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. A new project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, and was modi- fied by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1949 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1481 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the river by piers and revetments, 415 feet apart at the entrance, 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 1/4 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, 1984 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 a distance of about 1,350 feet in the river and about 1,750 feet up the outlet from Spring Lake; and for a channel in Grand River 8 feet deep at low-water datum, 100 feet wide and 141/2 miles long to Bass River, the total length of river channel being about 171/ miles. The piers and revetments are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, all of which are capped with concrete superstructure. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 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 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time.

Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, provided that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, 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. Local interests were notified on December 21, 1945, of the required conditions and requested to furnish assurances that they will be met. Negotiations for required easements, rights-of-way and spoil disposal areas 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1985 Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 80,236 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, below the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, at a cost of $30,026.31. Dredging 114,463 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the river above the Grand Trunk Railway bridge cost $32,508.34. Emergency repairs to the north and south piers, in prog- ress at the close of the fiscal year, cost $11,716.01. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $74,250.66 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $74,942.71. 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 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 advanced funds. Dredging of the river above the railway bridge to Bass River was completed in 1931. Dredging the channel into Spring Lake was com- pleted in 1938. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 22.4 feet between the piers, thence 21 feet in the river to the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, and thence 8 feet to Bass River and 17.3 feet in the outlet from Spring Lake. The costs under the existing project were $747,724.47 for new work and $1,954,465.68 for maintenance, a total of $2,702,190.15. The total ex- penditures were $2,704,360.72.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1987 22. MUSKEGON HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 114 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 80 miles easterly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 767.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, June 23, 1874, August 2, 1882, September 19, 1890, August 18, 1894, March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further details, see page 1950 of Annual Report for 1915; page 1399, Annual Report for 1924; and page 1484, Annual Report from 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 90 ° , the inner ends connected with the shore by suitable structures, 1,660 feet and 1,561 feet long on the north and south sides, respectively; for the removal of 1,003 feet of the existing north pier and 1,106 feet of the existing south pier; for repairing and maintaining the revetment around the old car-ferry slip on the south side of the entrance channel; for dredging 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 Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 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.

(Contains latest published map.) 1988 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The main terminals are at the city of Mus- kegon, at the inner end of Muskegon Lake, and include a car-ferry slip, a large privately owned wharf equipped with warehouse, transit shed, and cold-storage 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 aequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 30,460 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $10,- 780.04 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $10,316.40. 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 re- moval of old piers was completed in 1931. Deepening and widening entrance channel was completed in 1932. Repairing the south revet- ment around the old car-ferry slip was completed in 1938. The outer 54 feet of the south breakwater were removed in 1939, thereby 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 $537,393.21 for maintenanice, a total of 2,438,315.28. The total expenditures were $2,438,324.63.

WHITE LAKE HARBOR, MICH. Location.--On the east shore of Lake Michigan, about 120 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 45 miles southerly from Luding- ton. (See U. S. Lake Survey ChartrNo. 768.) Existing project.--This provides for the abandonment of the old outlet and the creation of a new channel 16 feet deep, 200 feet wide, and about 1,950 feet long from Lake Michigan to White Lake between parallel piers and revetments having lengths of 1,717 feet and 1,953 feet on north and south sides, respectively. The piers and revetments are built of 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 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 ex- treme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevail- ing at the time. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1907, was $353,550. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,500. 1990 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

PENTWATER HARBOR, MICH. Location.-On the east shore of Lake Michigan, about 146 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 14 miles southerly from Lud- ington. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 77.) Existing project.-This provides for widening the old entrance channel to 150 feet between parallel piers and revetmrents, the channel to extend from Lake Michigan to Pentwater Lake, with a depth of 16 feet. The piers and revetments are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, all of which have been provided with concrete super- structure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1 /2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1939, is $230,000. The latest (1939) approved estimate of annual cost of mainteiance iS $11,000.

Recommended modifications of project.-The project was recom- mended for abandonment in House Documents 429, Sixty-fourth Congress, first session, and 467, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session. Terminal facilities.-A number of small, privately owned wharves are grouped at the west end of Pentwater Lake. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 27,035 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $14,387.14 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $14,235.10. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 78 percent completed. The north pier and revetment was completed 1992 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 in 1885 for a length of 2,226 feet and the south pier in 1889 for a length of 1,847 feet. The dredging was completed in 1907. The piers and revetments are in good condition. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is a 200-foot extension to the south pier which is not considered necessary under present conditions. The net length of the north pier and revetment is now 2,022 feet, 204 feet having been removed in 1931. The controlling depth at low- water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 8.3 feet in the entrance channel between the piers to Pentwater Lake. The costs under the existing project were $179,899.10 for new work and $461,440.27 for maintenance, a total of $641,339.37. The total expenditures were $641,134.71.

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 long con- necting Pere Marquette Lake and Lake Michigan, the minimum navigable width being 150 feet and depth of 18 feet. The break- waters and inner piers and revetments are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, all of which are capped with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or belowv the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuation of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1916, was $1,090,587, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1947) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $25,000. 1994 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-Nonerequired. Terminal facilities.-Besides the main terminal of the Pere Mar- quette Railway Co., consisting of three car-ferry slips and a wharf with warehouses, there are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities. Tes. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of completing the rebuilding or reinforcing the substructure and re- building the superstructure in concrete on 645 linear feet of the south revetment, which was in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, by hired labor and use of Government plant,tt a cost of $74,- 795.29 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $60,257.35. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1918. The breakwaters were completed in 1911, the shore connec- tions in 1914, the dredging in 1917, and the placing of additional stone as riprap in 1918. The breakwaters and shore connections are in good condition. The inner piers and revetments are in good to poor condition. The inner 350 feet of the south revetment requires reconstruction to widen the channel and improve conditions for navi- gation. The outer 100 feet of the south breakwater were removed by private interests in 1939 by authority of the Chief of Engineers dated June 2, 1939, thereby increasing the width between the outer ends of the breakwaters to 475 feet. The south breakwater is there- fore maintained for only a length of about 1,700 feet. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 27 feet at harbor entrance, thence decreasing through the outer basin to 21 feet at lakeward end of the inner piers and thence 20.1 feet in the channel between the inner piers and revetments to Pere Mar- quette Lake. The costs under the existing project were $1,036,085.93 for new work, and $1,030,808.28 for maintenance, a total of $2,066,894.21. The total expenditures were $2,071,611.73. Proposedoperations.-The balance unexpended, including accounts receivable $12,037.73, and an allotment of $70,500 made during Au- gust 1947, a total of $82,537.73 will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U.

ARMY, 1947 Excisting 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. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1947, was $755,500, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $22,000.

Local cooperation.-The act of July 3, 1930, provided "that no work shall be undertaken on the section of the river through and above the bridges until they have been modified in a manner satisfactory to the Secretary of War." The Smith Street Bridge and the railroad bridge have been rebuilt, but the Maple Street Highway Bridge has not been rebuilt. 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. Local interests were notified on February 14, 1946, of the required conditions, and requested to furnish assurances that they will be met. Negotiations for required easements and rights of way 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1997 materials, and pulpwood. The city has provided a wharf on the south side of the river for general public use. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of taking soundings, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a deferred cost of $1,008.20 for maintenance. There was a minus expenditure of $1,103.50. 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 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 $1,191,686.13. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $13,414, plus an allotment of $21,500 made during August 1947, a total of $34,914, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947___ ____________________ $247. 93 Maintenance: Operation of U.

PORTAGE LAKE HARBOR OF REFUGE, MANISTEE COUNTY, MICH. Location.-On the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 186 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 37 miles northerly from Ludington. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 777.) Existing project.-This provides for a harbor of refuge, with an entrance channel from Lake Michigan to Portage Lake, 300 feet wide and 18 feet deep, protected by 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1999 one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pres- sure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1902, was $344,300. The latest (1939) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $12,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1879 (Annual Report for 1879, p. 1634). The latest pub- lished map is in House Document 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 588, Sixty-fourth Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-None required. Terniinal facilities.-There are inexpensive landing places at the inner end of Portage Lake. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations andresults during fiscal year.-There were no operations 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 12 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.-An allotment of $1,000 made during August 1947 will be applied to sounding harbor, care and supervision. Dredging is required for maintenance of project dimensions of channel. The additional sum of $11,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30,1949, for such work.

FRANKFORT HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 204 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 28 miles northerly from Manistee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 77.) Existing project.- This provides for an exterior basin in Lake Michigan, formed by two breakwaters, 450 feet apart at the outer ends; diverging at an angle of about 900, the maifi arm and the shore connection of the north breakwater being 972 and 1,000 feet in length, respectively, and the main arm and the shore connection of the south breakwater being 1,188 and 1,400 feet in length, respectively; for the removal of 801 feet of the north and 1,172 feet of the south pier; dredging the basin 20 feet deep and 800 feet wide at the entrance, decreasing toward the new pierheads to 600 feet wide; dredging the channel between the piers 18 feet deep to Lake Betsie (Aux Bees Seies) ; and dredging to a depth of 18 feet, to within 50 feet of exist- ing structures, that area in Lake Betsie west of the east boundary of Fifth Street extended. The breakwaters and shore connections are built of concrete caissons and piling capped with concrete. The inner piers and revetments are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, all having been capped with concrete. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, was $1,754,000. The latest (1937) approved estimated annual cost of maintenance is $16,000.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 2001 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of taking soundings, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a deferred cost of $528.09 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $345.11. 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 breakwaters, shore connections, and inner piers and revetments are in generally good condition except that the inner end of the south revet- ment requires repairs. 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 $2,223,638.53. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $2,443.21, plus an allotment of $15,500 made during August 1947, a total of $17,943.21 will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Operation of U.

LELAND HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is on the east shore of Lake Michigan at the mouth of Carp (Leelanau) River, Mich., distant about 240 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 40 miles northerly from Frank- fort. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 705.) Existing project.-This provides for the removal of the wrecked outer portions of the old privately owned piers; for the construction of new piers converging from shore to an entrance 60 feet wide, the lengths to be 370 and 440 feet for the north and south piers, respec- tively; and for an entrance channel 6 feet deep and 40 feet wide, the inner end of channel being about 300 feet inside of the harbor entrance. The new piers are built of piling filled with stone. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1/ feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 2003 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. 23, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.-There are privately owned wharves on each side of the inner harbor extending from the dam located about 400 feet above the mouth of the river, for a distance of about 200 feet downstream, used principally by the local fishing interests, and to some extent by Government mail, Coast Guard, and lighthouse boats. All available dockage space is utilized. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 4,435 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $8,710.52. Placing 519 tons of stone for repairs to rubble mound shore connection cost $4,680.05. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $13,390.57 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $13,283.62. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1937. The converging piers, removal of outer portions of 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 con- crete dam with a 10-foot head about 400 feet above the river mouth. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 8.9 feet at entrance, reducing thence to 7 feet at the inner end of the channel through outer harbor, and 1.3 feet in river to the dam. The costs under the existing project were $64,181.34 for new work and $30,730.38 for maintenance, a total of $94,911.72. The total expenditures were $94,919.37. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $756.57, plus an allotment of $1,000 made during August 1947, a total of $1,756.57 will be applied to sounding harbor, care and supervison. Soundings are necessary to determine the condition of the channel. The additional sum of $500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, for such work.

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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of taking soundings, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a deferred cost of $245.72 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $79.47. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939. The north pier and revetment of the lower channel was com- pleted in 1880, and the south pier and revetment in 1889. The revet- ments of the upper channel were completed in 1885, and the dredging of both channels in 1939. The piers and revetments of the lower channel are in generally good condition. The south revetment 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 $470,568.56.

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 Michi- gan, 42 miles westerly from the Straits of Mackinac and 32 miles northwesterly from Charlevoix, Mich. (See U. S. 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 northerly end of the bay. 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 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. 446, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-Theact of March 2, 1945, provided that respon- sible 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 2007 (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 tran- sient 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. (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. Local interests were notified on March 3, 1945, of the required con- ditions and requested to furnish assurances that they will be met. 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 consid- ered fairly adequate for existing commerce, a suitable wharf open to all on equal terms should be provided. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-There were no operations 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. Proposed operations.-There are no available funds at the end of the fiscal year and no operations are contemplated during the fiscal years 1948 or 1949.

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.) 2013 2014 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 IRiver and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880, and modified by River and Harbor Act of Au- gust 2, 1882. 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 aeep 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 Jow-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 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 1- ______-_--- -- Annual Report, 1880, p. 1942. _--- Aug. 2,1882 Modified location of harbor entrance 1_ ___ _ _ __ _ _ _ Annual Report, 1882, pp. 277, 2163.

Abandonment of dredging the triangular area in the southwest corner of the inner basin to a depth of 18 feet. 1 Completed under previous projects. 2 Contains latest published map. 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 2015 abandoned water intake pipes; construct an adequate bulkhead in front of the city park and in front of the adjacent United States prop- erty; 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 Gas 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 fscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys were made at a total cost of $594.87, all maintenance. The total ex- penditures were $816.60. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 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 16.8 feet in the entrance channel to the outer end of the south pier and 18 feet in the remaining portion of the entrance channel and inner basin. Depths are based on soundings taken in May 1946 and' 1947, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean-water level in June 1947 was 2.36 feet above datum. The total cost was $1,371,084.05, of which $536,757.92 was for new work and $834,326.13 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $1,371,084.05. Proposed operations-An allotment of $56,500 made during the fiscal year 1948, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1948 ---------------------------------------- $2, 500 Riprapping and repairing piers and breakwater, by contract, May 1948------ ------------------------------------------ 12, 000 Reconstructing about 270 lineal feet of revetment adjoining United States property on east side of inner basin, by contract, May and June 1948 _-------------------------------------------- 42, 000 Total----------------------- ----------------------- 56, 500 The additional sum of $64,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 as follows: Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1949 _ _-_ ------------ $2, 500 Dredging in the entrance channel, between the bulkheads and in the inner basin, by contract, July 1948 ------------------------- 62, 000 Total- ----------------------------------------- 64, 500 2016 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

CHICAGO HARBOR, ILL. Location.-Northeastern Illinois, near the southern end of Lake Michigan; 85 miles in a southerly direction from Milwaukee, Wis. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 752.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1833, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866; March 2, 1867; July 1, 1868; and April 10, 1869. Work was continued under these projects until 1870. (For further details see p. 1941 of Annual Report for 1915 and p. 1510 of Annual Report for 1938.) Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) An inner breakwater, all of timber cribs, enclosing an inner basin of about 224 acres in extent, the breakwater being in two sec- tions, as follows: The main inner breakwater 4,036 feet long with 300 feet of shore return on north end; a southerly extension 2,550 feet long. (b) An exterior breakwater enclosing an outer basin of about 970 acres in extent, the breakwater being in 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 2017 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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July 11, 1870 Inner breakwaters and inner basin .....----------------. Ex.

The latest published map of this harbor is in the Annual Report for 1914, opposite page 2924. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The outer harbor terminals consist of two slips, one opening off from the main river and one opening off from the inner basin; wharves, fronting on the river itself, and a municipal pier ex- tending into the outer basin from the lake front at the outer end of (rand 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 cost of $5,038.62, and preparation of plans for placing concrete slab on top of the deteriorated slab on the United States north pier was completed at a cost of $43.01. The total costs were $5,081.63, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $5,492.81. 2018 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 194.7 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1923. The entrance to Chicago River has been improved by the con- struction 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 feet of shore return on north end, completed in 1874; concrete superstructure completed in 1934) is in good condition, except that minor repairs are necessary for a portion of the concrete superstructure. The southerly arm (tim- ber, 2,544 feet, completed in 1880; concrete superstructure completed in 1930), is in good condition. The exterior breakwater (timber, 5,418 feet completed in 1889; concrete superstructure completed in 1930), and the southerly extension (rubble mound, 2,227 feet, completed in 1917) and the south arm (rubble mound, 1,532 feet, completed in 1920; and concrete caisson, 1,185 feet, completed in 1923) are in good con- dition, 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 deck slab of the north pier (concrete superstructure, 975 feet, com- pleted in 1908) should be repaired. The fence adjoining the United States property at the North Branch turning basin should be rebiilt. 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 re- ferred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1947 was 2.36 feet above datum. The total cost was $5,312,745.68 of which $3,409,844.22 was for new work and $1,902,901.46 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $5,312,745.68.

CHICAGO RIVER, ILL. Location.-Cook and Lake Counties, Ill., the navigable portions being wholly in Cook County and the city of Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 752.) For description, see page 1467 of Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, modified by acts of March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1942 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1513 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This'provides for maintenance dredging to 21 feet below the hydraulic grade line, corresponding to low-water datum in Lake Michigan, of the main river from Rush Street to the junction of the North and South Branches (0.7 !mile), the North Branch from the junction to North Avenue (2.22 miles), the North Branch Canal (1.04 miles), and the North Branch 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. 2020 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 Damen Avenue on the South Branch (mentioned in terminal facilities on the Illinois River), and the frontage along Wacker Drive, owned by the city, there are no publicly owned docks, wharves, or other terminal facilities on the main river or its branches. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys were made at a cost of $4,671.88, all maintenance. Total expenditures- were $4,708.62. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is complete 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 2021 the North Branch turning basin to Belmont Avenue is 12.4 feet; from Belmont Avenue to Addison Street, 9 feet. The mean water level in June 1947 was 2.36 feet above datum. The heads of navigation for deep draft vessels are Belmont Avenue on the North Branch and Leavitt Street on the West Fork of the South Branch, 5.97 and 5.52 miles, respectively, from the Michigan Avenue Bridge. The head of navigation for barge traffic is near Touhy Avenue on the North Shore Channel, about 11 miles from the Michigan Avenue Bridge. The total cost was $1,552,201.60, of which $544,678.70 was for new workl and $1,007,522.90 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,552,201.60. Proposedoperations.-An allotment of $4,000 made during the fiscal year 1948, will be applied to sounding, sweeping, and removal of ob- structions, by hired labor. The additional sum of $4,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor.

S. ARMY, 1947 4. 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. 75.) 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 Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Fluctuations in stage of the river are practically those resulting from changes of water level in Lake Michigan. On Lake Michigan seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary 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 1947, is $9,594,700, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $140,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 2023 Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 Annual Report, 1896, pp. 2584, et and seH.

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 necessary for that turning basin and have either provided any necessary bulk- heads or have released the United States from all damage to adjacent lands by reason of the excavation. As a result the land needed for turning basins 1, 3, and 5 has been cofiveyed to the United States. The total area thus conveyed is 17.85 acres, and the value of the land at the time of its conveyance was approximately $35,700. The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the widening of the chan- nel at any locality or the future excavation of a turning basin shall not be commenced until local interests have furnished, free of cost to the United States, the lands or easements necessary for such widening or excavation and have either provided any necessary bulkheads, or have released the United States from all damages to adjacent lands by reason of the excavation. The Republic Steel 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 3, and has con- structed a bulkhead along the channel side of the original basin 3, and reclaimed the area to provide land for plant expansion. The corpora- tion 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 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 has widened and deepened two portions of the east side of the river between the south end of the rock section and turning basin 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 Corps of Engineers. These facilities consist in part of two slips which are 2,900 and 1,300 feet long, respectively, and also of about 2,961 feet of wharfage facing 2024 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 on the entrance channel. These terminals are fully equipped and are considered adequate for existing commerce. Additional dockage exists on the lake front and along the entrance channel, but for various reasons it is not now suitable for terminal uses. Between the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway bridge and The Forks there are about 50,500 feet of wharfage, including 14 slips and dry- docks, of which about 31,300 feet are in use. These wharves are owned and operated by various private and industrial concerns 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: Plans and specifications for closing the entrance gap and dredging in approach channel to the harbor were continued at a total cost of $4,905.30. Maintenance: Miscellaneous surveys were made at a cost of $9,289.47. Plans and specifications for maintenance dredging were initiated at a cost of $397.64. The total cost of maintenance was $9,687.11. The total cost was $14,592.41, of which $4,905.30 was for new work and $9,687.11 was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $16,459.23. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 59 percent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the construction of turning basins 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 between the breakwaters. The timber breakwater (6,712 feet, completed in 1904; concrete superstructure completed in 1924) is in good condition, except that some riprap is required. The cellular type steel-sheet pile break- water (5,007 feet, completed in 1935) is in good condition. 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 Department, the Defense Plant Corporation has built two sections of bulkhead on the east side of the river between a point opposite the Semet-Solvay slip and the new turning basin 3 at mile 4.7. The United States has widened and deepened the channel adjoin- ing the new bulkhead except along the rock section, where the widen- ing was done by the corporation. Depths in the entrance channel vary from 30 to 23 feet. The controlling depth in the river is 17 feet up to and including turning basin 5 at the head of the project. Depths are based on soundings completed in April 1947, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1947 was 2.36 feet :above datum. The head of navigation for deep-draft vessels in the river is at turning basin 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 $8,271,587.34, of which $2,573,497.10 regular funds and $3,036,603.05 Public Works funds, a total of RIVERS AND -ARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 2025 $5,610,100.15, was for new work and $2,661,487.19 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $8,271,469.99 including $3,036,603.05 Public Works funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended together with an allotment of $200,000 made during the fiscal year 1948 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947 ------------------------------- $117. 35 New work: Complete plans and specifications for partially closing the entrance gap, by hired labor, Sep- tember 1947 _ $100. 00 Complete plans and specifications for dredging the approach channel to the harbor, by hired labor, October 1947-------------------------------- 523. 89 Exploratory borings in the approach channel and at the gap between the breakwaters, by contract, August 1947------------------------------- 9, 600. 00 Total, new work----------------------------------- 10, 223. 89 Maintenance: .Sounding harbor, and entrance channel between the bulkheads of the steel companies, and in the river, sweeping and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1948_ -----------______ 12, 000. 00 Dredging to restore the project depth of 26 feet in the entrance between the bulkheads of the steel companies, and to a depth of 21 feet in the river, by contract, September and October 1947-_ _-_ 141, 000. 00 Dredging to restore the project depth of 26 feet in the entrance between the bulkheads of the steel companies and to a depth of 21 feet in the river, by contract, May 1948----------------------29, 000. 00 Riprapping and repairing breakwaters, by con- tract, May 1948_ --------------------------- 18, 000. 00 Total, maintenance ------------------------------- 200, 000. 00 Total new work and maintenance--------------------210, 341. 24 The additional sum of $750,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949, as follows: New work: Breakwater constructiom, first stage; closing the 615-foot entrance gap between the breakwaters, by contract, July to October 1948___-------------------------- $285, 000 Widen and straighten river from about 700 feet lakeward of Calumet Western Ry.

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 $1,010.86, all maintenance. Total expendi- tures were $1,010.86. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1937 at a saving of $55,489 under the estimated cost. Depths in the channel from turning basin 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 1947 was 2.36 feet above datum. Except in the dredged area, depths in the lake vary from 1 to about 10 feet, but in general are so shallow that no navigation is possible in the undredged portion except by very light- draft vessels. The total cost of the work was $409,361.57 of which $405,011.57 was for new work and $4,350 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $409,361.57. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $500 made during the fiscal year 1948 will be applied to sounding, sweeping, and removal of ob- structions, by hired labor. The additional sum of $183,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 as follows: Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1949---------------------------------- ------ $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 5, by contract, July 1948 to November 1948---_-------- --- _ 180, 000 Total --------------------------------------------- 183, 500 The average cost of maintenance for the last 5 years was about $870.

INDIANA HARBOR, IND. Location.-Northwestern Indiana (Lake County), on southwest shore of Lake Michigan, 18 miles southeast of Chicago Harbor. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 755.) Previous project.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910. For further details see page 1943 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1520 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for- (a) A northerly rubble-mound breakwater, 2,520" feet long, an east- erly reinforced concrete-caisson breakwater 1.507 feet long, an ex- tension of this latter breakwater about 2,300 feet to the north and the construction and placing of a lighthouse crib. (b) An entrance channel generally 800 feet wide, with a depth of 28 feet at the outer end and 26 feet at the inner end. (c) Dredging the anchorage and maneuver basin in the outer har- bor to a depth of 26 feet, and the channel between the bulkheaded fills in the outer harbor to a depth of 25 feet. (d) Widening the main stem of the Indiana Harbor Canal to a bottom width of 260 feet with a depth of 22 feet from the outer harbor to the forks, and dredging the Calumet River Branch from the forks to One Hundred and Forty-first Street to the same width and depth. (e) A channel 22 feet deep and 160 feet wide in the Lake George Branch from the forks to White Oak Avenue. RIVERS AND HARBORS--CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 2029 (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 fox 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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 Outer harbor and maintenance of inner harbor H.

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 estab- lished lines shown on the map accompanying Rivers and Harbors Committee Document 13, Seventy-fifth Congress, first session, pro- vided that the improvement on one side may proceed in any section on fulfillment of the conditions for that side of the section, and pro- 2030 REPORT OF CHIIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 vided further, that south of the turning basin at The Forks (beginning 450 feet south of the intersection of the present Calumet Branch and main-stem bulkhead lines) widening and deepening by the United States shall be done only as the rights-of-way and bulkheads on at least one side of the channel are continuously provided southward from the above limit of the turning basin at The Forks. To provide for the 300-foot channel, a parcel of land (of about 4.6 acres), 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, hs 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- 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 $4,574.19 and preliminary work for dredg- ing Calumet River Branch was completed at a cost of $441.54. A total of 89,586 cubic yards was removed by contract at a cost of $65,967.12. The total cost was $70,982.85, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $70,004.87. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 84 percent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is widening the main stem of the Indiana Harbor Canal to a bottom width of 260 feet, with a depth of 22 feet from the outer harbor to The Forks; complete widening the Calumet River Branch from The Forks to One Hundred and Forty-first Street to the same width and depth; and complete deepening and widening to full project di- mensions the upper 3,400 feet of the Lake George Branch. The north breakwater (rubble mound, 2,520 feet, completed in 1922) is in good condition except that some riprap is required. The east breakwater (concrete caisson, 1,507 feet, completed in 1926) and northerly exten- sion (rubble mound, 2,324 feet, completed in 1935) are in good con- dition except that some riprap is required. Under a permit from the Department, the Defense Plant Corporation has constructed a bulk- head on the east side of the canal between the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge and Dickey Place Bridge, and the United States has widened and deepened the channel adjoining this bulkhead.. The controlling depths are as follows: 30 to 26 feet in the entrance channel parallel RIVERS AND HARBORS CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 2031 to the rubble mound breakwater and 25 feet in the outer harbor; be- tween the bulkheads of the steel companies to the five bridges, 17 feet with 21.4 feet at the five bridges; from the five bridges to the turning basin at The Forks, 19.2 feet; 21.9 feet in the turning basin at The Forks; depths in the turning basin east of Canal Street vary from 20.2 feet at the entrance to the basin to 11 feet at a point 80 feet from the southside of the basin; from the turning basin to a point about 900 feet south in the Calumet River Branch, 15 feet; from that point to the One Hundred and Forty-first Street Bridge, from 24.4 to 2 feet re- spectively; and from the turning basin to 1,000 feet above the Indian- apolis Boulevard Bridge, on the Lake George Branch, 17 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 July 1947. Depths are referred to low-water datum. The mean level in June 1947 was 2.36 feet above datum. The head of navigation for commercial yessels is at the Baltimore & Ohio Chicago Terminal Railroad bridge on the Lake George Branch, about 3 miles from the outer harbor, and at a point about 2,200 feet from the Forks on the Calumet River Branch, about 2.5 miles from the outer harbor. The total cost, all funds, was $4,946,322.80, of which $3,328,278.31 were regular funds and $1,618,044.49 Public Works funds; $3,628,- 688.22 was for new work and $1,317,634.58 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $4,944,415.07 including $1,618,044.49 Public Works funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, together with an allotment of $234,000 made during the fiscal year 1948, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947_----------------------------- $1, 907. 73 Maintenance: Sounding in the harbor, in the entrance to the canal between the bulkheads of the steel com- panies and in the canal; sweeping and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1948_ $5, 000. 00 Dredging to restore the project depth in the entrance to the canal and in the canal, by con- tract, September to December 1947_ _-____ 195, 000. 00 Dredging to restore the project depth in the en- trance to the canal and in the canal, by con- tract, April 1948_--------------------_ 17, 403. 44 Riprapping and repairing breakwaters, by con- tract, June 1948_-------------------------- 24, 000. 00 241, 403. 44 Total------------------------------ ---------------- 243, 311. 17 The additional sum of $245,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949, as follows: Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1949 ------------------------------------- . $5, 000 Dredging to restore the project depth in a portion of the outer harbor, by contract, April to July 19491-------------------- 150, 000 Dredging to restore the project depth in the entrance to the canal and in the canal, by contract, May and June 1949 .- - 90, 000 Total -------------------------------------------- 245, 000 2032 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

MICHIGAN CITY HARBOR, IND. Location.-Northwestern Indiana (in La Porte County), on the southeasterly shore of Lake Michigan, 38 miles in a southeasterly direction from Chicago Harbor. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 75.) For descriptions see page 1482 of Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 4, RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 2033 1836, and work was continued under this project until 1870. For further details see page 1944 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1.524 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 infrequent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $1,220,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $12,000.

(Contains latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The terminal facilities at this harbor consist of about 16,000 feet of wharfage, about 1,220 feet of which are owned by the city. About 1,000 feet are in use. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys 2034 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 were made at a cost of $2,719.79, all maintenance. Total expenditures were $2,719.79. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in December 1936. Concrete superstructure, 1,304 feet, on the de- tached breakwater was completed in 1925, and on the entrance piers in 1931. All structures are in good condition, except that some riprap is required. The cap stones on the landward end at the west pier have disintegrated and should be replaced. Under permit from the Secre- tary of War, the Northern Indiana Public Service Co. has removed 615 feet of the inner end of the west pier and about 719 feet of the bulkhead south of the pier and has replaced them with a steel sheet pile bulkhead, located landward of the former dock line. The area channelward of the new bulkhead was dredged by the permittee to 18 feet. Depths in the entrance channel up to the Franklin Street Bridge vary from 25 to 13 feet. Between the Franklin Street Bridge and the turning basin at the head of the project, the depths vary from 12 to 5 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 40 feet. The depths in the easterly half of the turning basin at the head of the project are about 4 feet. Recent depths in the central portion of the basin are not available. Available anchorage depths in the outer basin are 12 feet in the northerly portion and 9 feet in the southerly portion. Depths are based upon soundings taken during May 1947 and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1947 was 2.36 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 $2,353,913.28 of which $1,212,385.20 was for new work and $1,141,528.08 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $2,353,913.28. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $26,500, made during the fiscal year 1948, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Sounding and sweeping outer harbor and Trail Creek, and removing obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1948 ----- $2, 500 Riprapping and repairing breakwater and piers, by contract, June 1948_----------------------------------------------------- 24, 000 Total -------------------------------------------------- 26, 500 The additional sum of $77,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 as follows: Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions by hired labor, fiscal year 1949_ __ __- __ --- $2, 500 Dredging outer harbor and channel to and including turning basin 2, by contract, July and August 1948------------------------ 75, 000 Total------------------------------------------------- 77, 500 The average cost of maintenance for the last 5 years was $1,180.

S. ARMY, 1947 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. 130, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). By deed dated March 28, 19281 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 dredging materials. The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, modified the existing project subject to the following provisions: That the project thus adopted shall be in all its parts a navigable waterway of the United States, forever free to the public use of all, unencumbered by any tolls or restrictions of any kind whatsoever except such as may be imposed by Congress. That the State of Illinois shall proceed, subject to the supervision and approval of all expenditures and obligations by the Secretary of War, to construct the highway bridges at Brandon Road and Marseilles Canal, to make the necessary alterations in other high- way bridges across the Illinois waterway, to make the necessary ar- rangements and agreements for the alterations of the railroad bridges across said waterway, and to do such other work on said waterway as the Secretary of War shall direct and the available funds of the State make possible; the bridges mentioned not to become the property of the United States, and no obligations to be incurred by the United States to maintain', operate, or replace them. That no claim shall lie against the United States because of any contractual obligations which have been or may be entered into by the State of Illinois as regards the construction of a waterway between Utica and Lake Michigan (S. Doc. 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 180, Seventy- third Congress, second session, and install operating machinery and place in operating condition the three drawbridges across the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal between its junction with the Calumet-Sag Channel and Lockport when directed by the Secretary of War. These requirements have been met and were accepted by the Chief of 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 2041 local interests furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, ease- ments 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 re- move 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 be 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 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 betwen 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 Vermillion River, near La Salle, and at Ottawa; and a cement- loading plant is located at Peru. Bulk-petroleum terminals are located at Havana, Kingston Mines, Peoria, and Peru, and molasses is unloaded from barges at a terminal at Peoria. Sand and gravel plants are located at Kingston Lake, Chillicothe, Henry, Ottawa, Morris, Joliet, and Lockport. 2042 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 A barge-construction yard, launching ways, and shipyard 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 total expenditures were $1,375,839.93. Condition at end of fscal year.-The existing project is approxi- mately 25 percent complete. 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 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. The three passing places in the Calumet-Sag and dredging to widen the channel in the Calumet and Little Calumet Rivers are complete. 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 and the Calumet and Little Calumet Rivers. The controlling depth of the river as it prevails, with a diversion of 1,500 cubic feet per second from Lake Michigan through the Chicago Sanitary Canal, is 9 feet during extreme low water. The limiting horizontal bridge clearance in the section Grafton to Utica is 114 feet. The limiting horizontal clearance which occurs at bridges be- tween Utica and Lockport is 113 feet. The limiting horizontal clear- ance which occurs at bridges between Lockport and Lake Michigan 766707-48-pt. 1, vol. 2-45 2044 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 5 in the Calumet River via the Chicago Sanitary Canal, the Calumet-Sag Channel, and the Calumet River is 50 feet.

Actual costs to June 30, 1946, $12,415,593.67. 9 Including engineering, office, and inspection. 10 Not separable from cost of locks. NOTE.-The limiting draft to the locks is determined by the depth over the breast walls. The Poe lock was operated and maintained under the permanent indefinite appropriation from August 3, 1896, the Davis lock from October 21, 1914, and the Sabin lock from September 18, 1919, to the end of the fiscal year 1935. The original State locks were operated and maintained under the same appropriation from June 9, 1881, to November 2, 1886, after which they were destroyed by excavation for the present Poe lock. The Weitzel lock, destroyed in 1942 by excavation for the Mac- Arthur lock, was operated and maintained under the same appro- priation from September 1, 1881, to the end of the fiscal year 1935. In the following table are stated other characteristic features of the channel improvements belonging to the existing project. 2070 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 1947, is $86,939,000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1946) 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 2071 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 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 pro- vision 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 in- terest of the national defense and security, and the President has notified the Congress to that effect." This limiting provision was 2072 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 removed by Public Law No. 300, dated February 18, 1946, and funds for the two project modifications were appropriated by the act ap- proved 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 descrip- tions: (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 to a 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.

North channel outlet------------------ 8, 000 0 Small craft.. 100 10 573.5 The project also provides for compensating works, consisting of a number (estimated at 31) of submerged rock sills, with crests 31 feet below datum. The project depths are referred to local low-water datums which correspond to low-water datums for Lake Huron and St. Clair, which are 578.5 and 573.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The water level of this river fluctuates with the levels of the lakes above and below it, which during the course of each year are subject to a consistent seasonal rise and fall, the lowest stages prevailing during the winter months and the highest during the summer months. At the head of St. Clair River, as measured by monthly mean levels, the water may rise and fall each year during the navigation season as much as 1.3 feet. During the past 36 navigation seasons the differ- ence between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels has been about 4.9 feet. Occasional fluctuations due to winds of high velocity may be as much as 3.5 feet in 6 hours. The 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 12 to St. Clair Flats Canal be widened to a width of 700 to 800 feet, with a depth of 26 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 1947, is $9,891,300, including $6,000,000 for construction of submerged sills. RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2081 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.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of April 29, 1941, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project so as to provide for a cut-off channel about 31/2 miles long, in the vicinity of Southeast Bend, St. Clair River, Mich., with a depth of 25 feet at low-water datum and bottom width of 300 feet, at an estimated first cost of $2,500,000 with $10,000 annually for mainte- nance in addition to the amount now required (H. Doc. 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. Local cooperation.-None required. 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 the fiscal year.-Surveys were made over the shoals at the mouth of the Black River and at the head of Russell Island at a cost of $6,883.43. Investigations of strikings and groundings, repairs and replacements to control system were made at a cost of $2,284.25. Costs during the fiscal year were $9,167.68, all for maintenance. Total expenditures were $11,271.47. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project, exclusive of the compensating works, widening and deepening Southeast Bend and improvement of the outlet of the North Channel, was completed in 1937.

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 1River 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 chan- nel of St. Clair River. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake St. Clair, which is 573.5 feet above mean tide at New York. As 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 36 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 84 years the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels during the navigation season has been about 5 feet. Occa- sional fluctuations in depths of several feet, produced by high easterly or westerly winds, respectively, raise or lower the water level at the west end of Lake Erie, and similarly affect the level of the lower Detroit River; such changes have been as much at 6 feet within 8 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1947, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $32,957,700. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $101,000.

S. ARMY, 1947 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 received 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.-Maintenance: The U. S. derrick boat Erie removed obstructions in the Amherstburg Channel to restore project depths of 21 feet, 371 cubic yards, scow measure, of material being removed in cleaning up 13,817 square yards of channel at a cost of $27,170.28. Examination of the improved channels by sweeping and/or sounding over the entire project was performed during the fiscal year at a cost of $19,984.47. Repairs to the compen- sating dike between Stony Island and the Livingstone Channel were continued at a cost of $5,754.42. Engineering surveys, investigations of strikings and groundings and repairs to the control system were made at a cost of $1,282.62. Prior to maintenance dredging sounding surveys were made in the lower Livingstone Channel during July 1946 and June 1947 at a cost of $5,113.66. The U. S. hopper dredge Burton removed shoals in the lower section of the Livingstone Channel, 70,728 cubic yards, bin measure, being removed during the period August 3 to August 21, 1946, at a cost of $19,178.34. The costs during the fiscal year were $78,483.79, all for maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $88,304.65. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project with the exception of the channel north of Belle Isle and deepening the westerly 300 feet of the Amherstburg Channel, was completed in 1941. The work done consists of dredging, rock excavation, and the construction of dikes and compensating works. The dikes are generally in good condition. Repairs to the Stony Island compensating dike are con- tinuing. The Sugar Island compensating dike is beginning to show signs of erosion and weathering.

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.) 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 29 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 few hours, resulting from the raising or lowering of Saginaw Bay by violent winds. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938, is $2,657,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $81,000. 2098 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Burton operated over the bay section during the period July 1 to July 28, 1946, removing material in the amount of 70,251 cubic yards, bin measure, at a cost of $21,208.96. The U. S. hopper dredge Burton commenced maintenance dredging in the bay section for the 1947 season on May 8, 1947, removing material in the amount of 104,167 cubic yards, bin measure, at a cost of $56,861.79. Prior to maintenance dredging survey was made during May and June 1947 at a cost of $5,911.30. The costs were $83,982.05 for maintenance, and the total expenditures were $97,647.25. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in April 1942. A sounding survey in September 1945 indicated that the project depth of 20 feet is available between the mouth of the river and the Sixth Street Bridge in Saginaw. A sounding survey in June 1947 over the area between the Sixth Street Bridge and the Court :Street Bridge, the upper limit of regular maintenance, indicated that considerable shoaling has taken place between the Bristol and Court Street Bridges, including the turning basin and depths of about 14 feet are available in the turning basin and up to the Court Street Bridge. Maintenance dredging by the U. S. hopper dredge Burton has par- tially removed the shoaling in the 21-foot channel in the bay section.

HARBOR OF REFUGE AT HARBOR BEACH, LAKE HURON, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located on the west shore of Lake Huron about 60 miles north of Port Huron, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Existing project.-This provides for the formation of a harbor of refuge protected by stone-filled timber-crib breakwaters-the main breakwater being 4,716 feet long, the north one 1,204 feet long, the original north entrance, 304 feet wide, being reopened to a depth of 10 feet, and the south breakwater 1,956 feet long; for dredging the main entrance, 600 feet wide, to a depth of 23 feet; and for dredging 2102 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 an anchorage area approximately 3,000 feet long by 1,200 feet wide to a depth of 21 feet. The project depths are referred to a stage of 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 sub- ject to a seasonal rise and fall, the lowest stages prevailing during winter and the highest during summer months. Such yearly changes, measured by monthly mean levels, may be as much as 1.8 feet. Dur- ing the past 33 navigation seasons the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels during the navigation season has been about 4.9 feet. Occasional fluctuations due to winds of high velocity may be as much as 2 feet in 8 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1917, is $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 harbor - Annual Report 1873, p. 292.

Jan. 21,1927 Removal of portion of breakwater in the interest of sanitation. Local cooperation.-None required. 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.-No work was performed or funds expended during the fiscal year. 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 year ending June 30, 1948. The replacement of approximately 4,500 linear feet of timber fender on the main breakwater proposed during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, at an estimated cost of $25,000.

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 Au- gust 30, 1935, is subject to the requirement that local interests- (1) Contribute one-half of the initial cost of the improvement. (2) Provide all lands or easements necessary and requisite to the execution of the project. (3) Remove the existing Tenth Street Bridge, or replace it with a satisfactory structure. (4) Furnish satisfactory assurances that the United States will be protected from all claims for damages incident to the improvements. None of the above requirements have been complied with. 52106 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Burton removed scattered shoal areas during the period July 29, to August 2, 1946, material in the amount of 12,000 cubic yards, bin meas- ure, being excavated at a cost of $6,121.01. A sounding survey over the entire project and repairs to the control system were made during April 1947 at a cost of $1,664.47. The costs were $7,785.48, and ex- penditures were $7,802.98, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All work except that authorized by the act of August 30, 1935, has been completed. Controlling depths over the project are as follows: 19 feet 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 800 feet long, and a 16.5-foot shoal about 200 feet long, 900 feet and 2,500 feet, respectively, below the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge; thence 12.5 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 Chart No. 415.) Previous projects.-Authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 11, 1888 (Annual Report for 1887, pp. 2275-2278) ; joint resolution of April 11, 1898 (H. Doc. 138, 55th Cong., 2d sess., and Annual Report for 1898, p. 2605), and the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907 (H. Doc. 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 766707-48-pt. 1, vol. 2-49 2108 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 feet in a distance of 2,000 feet, thence 200 feet wide to Maples Road, including a turning basin, 21 feet deep, near the upper end of the project. (b) A channel 25 feet deep from that depth in Detroit River through the mouth of the old channel upstream for a distance of 1,300 feet, with a width of 240 feet at the mouth, tapering to 100 feet at a 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 and 100 feet wide, flaring to 130 feet at the north end of the Peerless Portland Cement Co. wharf, thence 21 feet deep, with width flaring from 130 feet to 150 feet at the junction of the old channel with the Short Cut Canal, suitably widened at the bend opposite the Detroit Sulphite Pulp & Paper Co. plant. The distance from Detroit River to the head of the project at Maples Road' is about 31/2 miles via the Short Cut Canal, and about 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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 11, 1888 17-foot channel ______ Annual Report 1887; p. 2275. 2 Aug. 8,1917 21-foot channel via Short Cut Canal_ -- H.

See also map with Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 10, 72d Cong., 1stsess. 3 Including Emergency Relief Administration work authorized May 28, 1935. Local cooperation.-The act approved August 30, 1935, provided that no Federal expenditures should be made on the improvements in the old channel until local interests had provided, without cost to the United States, all necessary rights-of-way and had furnished guaranties, satisfactory to the Secretary of War, protecting the United States against all damages to adjacent lands and property which may result from dredging operations. Except for the 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2109 mouth equipped with unloading machinery. The Ford Motor Co. has an ore and coal dock near the head of the river improvement, with improved type of unloaders. Eight docks fully equipped, for handling oil and oil products, also one dock equipped for handling gypsum rock, have been constructed along the river bank. These docks have good railroad connections. In addition there are 4 docks owned by sand and gravel companies which have unloading machinery, one pulpwood dock, and two lumber docks. There are also a number of smaller docks for launches. All docks along the river are privately owned and understood to be restricted to use of the owners. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Meade operated over the entire project during the period June'26, to August 27, 1946, and removed materials in the amount of 116,326 cubic yards, bin measure, at a cost of $59,076.80. The U. S. hopper' dredge Savannah commenced dredging operations for the 1947 season on May 26, 1947 and removed material in the amount of 123,971 cubic yards, bin measure, at a cost of $37,772.95. A prior to maintenance dredging survey was made over the entire project at a cost of $2,679,96. An investigation of strikings and groundings was made at a cost of $954.18. The costs were $100,483.89, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $106,489.07. 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 distance of 1,150 feet upstream from the mouth of the old channel. All other work provided for in the act of August 30, 1935, relative to the improvement of the old channel, is held in abeyance until local interests have complied with the terms of local cooperation. The controlling depth in the 21-foot project is 23 feet for a minimum width of 100 feet over the center section of the Short Cut Canal and River to the turning basin with the exception of shoal areas, 700 feet long, 4,000 feet from the Detroit River, and 1,200 feet long, 700 feet below the Dix Avenue Street Bridge with depths of 20 feet generally in the turning basin. The controlling depth in the old chan- nel from its junction with the Short Cut Canal to the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad is 20 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. 2110 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

MONROE HARBOR, MICH. Location.-The harbor is located on the lower reach of the Raisin River, which empties into Lake Erie at Monroe, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 3.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep and 300 feet wide in Lake Erie, a distance of about 15,800 feet; thence 21 feet deep and 200 feet wide, with necessary additional width at bends, in Raisin River, for a distance of about 8.200 feet; thence 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide to the lower wharves at Monroe, a distance of about 3,800 feet. The project also provides for 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 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. 2112 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-All requirements have been met. Terminal facilities.-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 Aluminum Co. of America has constructed 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 22 to September 25, 1946, material in the amount of 113,516 cubic yards, bin measure, being removed, at a cost of $37,248. Prior to maintenance dredging, survey was made in July 1946 at a cost of $1,873.18. The costs and expenditures, including $7,500 contributed funds, were $39,121.18 for maintenance. 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 dis- appeared. A sounding survey after dredging August 1946 indicates controlling depths as follows: 19 feet from Lake Erie to the Aluminum Co. of America dock, thence 16 feet to the lower end of the turning basin, thence 15.5 feet to the upper end of the 21-foot project, and 14 feet in the turning basin.

The Maumee River has its source in Northern Indiana and empties into Lake Erie. The harbor is located at the westerly end of Lake Erie, 99 miles westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 3.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866, June 14, 1880, July 5, 1884, August 5, 1886, July 13, 1892, and August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1959 of Annual Report fbr 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, is $5,110,400 ,exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $125,000.

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 gasoline, 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. Operationsand results duringfiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredges Savannah and Burton operated over the entire project during the periods, June 20 to November 5 and September 26 to October 7, 1946, removing material in the amounts of 315,579 cubic yards, 8,823 cubic yards, bin measure, respectively, the costs were $116,928.53 and $3,352.35, respectively. Prior to maintenance dredging survey was made in July 1946 and April 14 to June 30, 1947, over the entire project at a cost of $9,688. A field office was maintained for supervision of the harbor and miscellaneous surveys and inspections at a cost of $6,405.29. The costs were $136,374.17 for maintenance and the expenditures were $160,732.81. Condition at 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, 198, 977. 34 Total_----------------------- ------------------- 4, 609, 239. 59 Public Works funds, new work----------------------------3, 690, 000. 00 Total, all funds--__- -__ ------ __- 8, 299, 239. 59 The expenditures have been as follows : Regular funds___ $4, 609, 239. 59 Public Works funds_------ _ -------------- _ 3, 690, 000. 00 Total, all funds_- -- 8, 299, 239. 59 RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2117 Proposed operations.--An allotment of $192,500, made in August 1947, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Dredging by U.

S. ARMY, 1947 17. PORT CLINTON HARBOR, OHIO Location.-Port Clinton Harbor comprises the lower half mile of the Portage River, which empties into Lake Erie at a point 72 miles westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. It is from 200 to 300 feet wide. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 3.) Existing project.-This provides for parallel stone and pile jetties at the mouth of the river, the east jetty 2,200 feet long and the west jetty 1,980 feet long, extending to the 10-foot contour in the lake, and for dredging a channel to a depth of 10 feet and 100 feet wide, widening at the bridge to 200 feet for a length of 800 feet, the length of the channel to be 5,000 feet, extending from 2,100 feet outside the jetties up to the highway bridge. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions' 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, is $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 pub- lished map, see House Document 815, Sixty-first Congress, second .session. Local cooperation.-Nonerequired. 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-No work was performed during the fiscal year and there were no expenditures. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1893. The work done consisted in the construction of two jetties, completed in 1883, and in dredging a channel from the lake to the highway bridge, completed in 1893. Project dimensions were available over the entire channel following maintenance dredging in 1942. The east pier is in poor condition. The head of navigation for light-draft boats is about 12 miles above the mouth of the river. The costs have been as follows: Regular funds: New work and maintenance prior to 1.894 (not separable) --- $71, 949. 86 Maintenance since 1894---------------------------- 60, 333. 36 Total- ------------------------------------- - 132, 283. 22 The total expenditures have been $132,283.22.

FLOOD CONTROL-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2123 21. SEBEWAING, SEBEWAING RIVER, MICH. Location.-Sebewaing River drains an area of about 105 square miles in Huron and Tuscola Counties on the westerly side of the Thumb area of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and discharges into Saginaw Bay, an arm of Lake Huron, about 20 miles 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 channel of the Sebewaing River, through the village of Sebewaing, Mich., to a capacity of 7,500 cubic feet per second from the junction of the Columbia and State drains to a point 4,500 feet lakeward of the railroad bridge near the mouth, for altering the railroad bridge and three highway bridges to permit free passage of ice, and for removal of the present dike on the south side of the channel lakeward of the railroad bridge. The plan of improvement proposed will provide protection for the village of Sebewaing from floods with a frequency of occurrence of once in 15 years and with a magnitude greater than the maximum flood of record. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved August 18, 1941. (See H. Doc. 286, 76th Cong., 1st sess., which contains the latest published maps.) The estimated (1946) cost of construction is $351,500. The ap- proved estimate (1947) for annual cost of maintenance is $3,000. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-During the fiscal year revised contract plans and specifications for the authorized flood plan of improvement were completed at a cost of $5,851.75. The approved prbgram for stream gaging was continued at a cost of $930. A survey was made of the entire project during April, May, and June 1947 to determine quantity of material to be paid for under contract. Channel excavation by contract commenced May 12, 1947, 45,200 cubic yards of pay material (place measure) being removed at a cost of $38,378.65, including Government costs. Total costs during the fiscal year were $45,160.40, all for new work. The total expenditures were $29,841.58. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All items of work required to con- struct the project are 11 percent complete. The work completed consists of dredging the channel and grading the banks. The costs to date have been $59.974.75 for new work. The expenditures have been $44,175.63. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, $307,324.37, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1947 . -- $15, 799. 12 New work: Complete work now under contract for construction of flood control project - 290, 525. 25 Stream-gaging program ---------------------------------- 1, 000. 00 Total -------------------------------------------- 307, 324. 37 766707-48--pt. 1, vol. 2--50 2124 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

MOUNT CLEMENS, CLINTON RIVER, MICH. Location.--Clinton River drains an area of about 760 square miles in Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair, and Lapeer Counties in the southeast- ern portion of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and dicharges into Anchor Bay, an arm of Lake St. Clair, about 18 miles north of the head of Detroit River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 42.) Existing project.-This provides for construction of a cut-off canal extending from a point on Clinton River, at the southerly limit of Mount Clemens, Mich., and about 1,500 feet below Gratiot Avenue Bridge, directly southeastward to Lake St. Clair, a distance of about 12,500 feet, with a bottom width of 74 feet; and control weirs at the upper and lower ends of the cut-off canal. FLOOD CONTROL---DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2125 The plan of improvement will provide protection to Mount Clemens and Harrison Township from floods with a fequency of occurence of once in 30 years, with a magnitude of 15,000 cubic feet per second. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved July 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. 694, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published maps.) The estimate of Federal cost for new work, revised in 1947, is $544,000. The estimated cost to local interests is $800,000. Local cooperation.-The improvement is subject to the condition that responsible local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will- (1) Provide without cbst to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way, including the removal of buildings, necessary for the construction of the project. (2) Hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works. (3) Bear the cost of all necessary highway bridges and access roads thereto. (4) Establish and enforce regulations satisfactory to the Secretary of War and designed to prevent encroachments on the improved and existing channels. (5) Maintain and operate all the works after completion in accord- ance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. Local interests have signified their willingness to cooperate in the plan of improvement. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction work has been done. Proposed operations.-Constructionof the project will be initiated and carried on under a continuing contract within the limit of avail- able funds, $260,000.

SANDUSKY HARBOR, OHIO Location.-This harbor is located in the southeasterly portion of Sandusky Bay, 55 miles westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 365.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 11, 1844; June 23, 1866; March 3, 1873; July 5, 1884; August 11, 1888; and August 18, 1894. For further details, see page 1960 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 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- tions of water level are from 3 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 6 feet above to 2.5 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $2,690,000 (including $275,000 contributed by local interests), exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (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.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2131 Local cooperation.--Fully 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 two small boat basins. The facilities are considered adequate for the exist- ing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 8, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 145,935 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the dock, straight, bay and outer bar channels and turning basin at a cost of $55,212.34 for maintenance. The expenditure was $57,424.51. 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 has settled to below low-water datum. The stone in the dike has disintegrated and settled. 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 20 feet at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $3,514,096.56 of which $2,597,258.21, including $599,500 Public Works funds was for new work and $916,838.35 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,516,- 068.80, including $599,500 Public Works funds. In addition $325,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the accounts receivable at the end of the fiscal year ($2,933.77), plus an allotment of $56,500, made during August 1947, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Dredging the straight, bay, and outer bar channels and turning basin by United States hopper dredge, July to September 1947_ $52, 500. 00 Sweeping channels and turning basin by Government plant, May 1947--------------------------------------- 6,933. 77 Total ------------------------------------------------- 59, 433. 77 Redredging and sweeping are required annually.

HVRON 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. Existing 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2133 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 1, at the entrance of the river, the channel to be 400 feet wide 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 fluctua- tions of water level are from 3 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1905 Extension of west pier; construction of east break- H.

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. The Eastern States Co- operative Milling Corp. is constructing a dock with a frontage of ap- proximately 800 feet, adjacent to the ore dock. 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 adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 8, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 79,302 cubic yards of material from the channel for restoration of project depth at a cost of $28,324.92 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $27,920.70. Condition at 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 2134 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 tilting and moving channelward and for portions of the east break- water where the slope stones have disintegrated and the deck stones dropped. The controlling depth in the channel is 25 feet at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $1,586,150.33 of which $1,034,350.01, including $561,251.52 Public Works funds, was for new work and $551,800.32 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $1,588,703.63 including $561,251.52 Public Works funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and accounts re- ceivable at the end of the fiscal year ($2,647.49) plus an allotment of $38,040, made during August 1947, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Dredging channel by United States hopper dredge, April 1948_- $36, 400. 00 Sweeping channel and removing obstructions by Government plant, August 1947 and May 1948_------------------------ 4,287. 49 Total ----------------------------------------------- 40, 687. 49 Redredging and sweeping are required annually and repairs to the west pier are necessary.

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 breakwaters. (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 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. dock, with a turning basin 650 feet wide and 20 feet deep in the bend of the Black River immediately upstream from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad coal dock, and ap- proximately 690 feet wide and 17 feet deep opposite the National Tube Co. dock; no project dredging above drydock 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 low water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 5 feet above to 2 feet below that plane. 2136 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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.

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 improvement. 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 and sand, transshipment of lumber, etc., to or from cars, are open to the public. Extensive docks of the National Tube Co. handle iron ore, limestone, and sand, and are not open to the public. Two sand and three fish docks are privately owned. The American Shipbuilding Co. has drydocks and facilities for build- ing and repairing the largest lake vessels. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is constructing a new coal dock in the outer harbor. 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.-New Work: Contract operations for deepening the easterly and westerly portions of the outer harbor were completed in 1946, 117,003 cubic yards of material were removed and the cost for the year was $93,591.36. RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2137 Maintenance: Government plant and hired labor removed 184,818 cubic yards of material for the restoration of project depth in the outer harbor and river channel at a cost of $74,552.09 and made repairs to.200 linear feet of the east breakwater at a cost of $38,325.07. Total cost for the year was $206,468.52, of which $93,591.36 was for new work and $112,877.16 was for maintenance. The total expendi- ture was $233,416.79. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 99 percent complete. An outer harbor has been provided by constructino breakwaters and pierheads completed in 1915, except the extension o% 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 deepeto the municipal pier was provided in 1936. Deepening the outer harbor was completed in 1946. The entrance to the river has been improved by the construc- tion 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. dock were deepened to project depth in 1937 and 1938 and the turning basin widened in 1944. The work to be done to complete the project consists of deepening the turning basin immediately upstream from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad 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. 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. dock, 13 feet in the outer harbor channel to the municipal pier, and 16 feet in the turning basin opposite the National Tube Co. dock, all at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $3,666,458.70 of which $2,708,294.94 including $165,000 Public Works funds was for new work and $958,163.76 including $76,300 Public Works funds for main- tenance. The total expenditure was $3,666,458.70 including $241,300 Public Works funds. In addition $3,000 was expended from con- tributed funds for new work.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2139 4. 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 Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 35.) Existing project.-This provides for an east entrance pier 900 feet in length and an entrance channel 100 feet wide and 10 feet deep extending from that depth in the lake to a point 600 feet inside the inner end of the pier. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water level are from 3 feet above to zero, low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations produced by wind and other causes are from 4.5 feet above to 1 foot below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, is $81,600. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 10, 1872 East pier and dredging of channel__ -- Annual Report, 1871, p 211.

Terminal 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.-Maintenance:Examina- tion soundings were performed by Government plant and hired labor at a cost and expenditure of $242.32. Conditionat 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 8 feet at low-water datum. The total cost and expenditure of the existing project was $110,- 768.34, of which $83,971.19 was for new work and $26,797.15 for maintenance. Proposedoperations.-The amount of $7,700 allotted during August 1947 will be applied to dredging the entrance channel by Government plant during August 1947. Redredging the entrance channel is required annually. The addi- tional sum of $8,000 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1949 for this item of maintenance by Government plant. 766707---48-pt. 1, vol. 2- 51 2140 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

SAuthorized by Public Works Administration, Sept. 6, 1933. 4 Previously authorized by Public Works Administration. ' First Deficiency Appropriation Act approved Apr. 1, 1944. *Authorized by the Defense Plant Corporation, May 19, 1942. 2142 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 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 submarye 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 Secretary of War that they will (a) furnish without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the intial work and for subsequent maintenance, when and as required; (b) bear the expense of all necessary bulkhead ahd utility construction and alteration; and (c) hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the work; provided fur- ther, that the improvement on either side of the channel extension may proceed when the terms of local cooperation for that side have been met. These conditions have not been complied with for the left side of the extension looking downstream. The right side of the extension was completed in 1942 as a Defense Plant Corporation project. The act of 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 46 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, stone, grain, petroleum products, automobiles, and sulfur. In general, the terminals operated by the railroads which include two of the iron-ore and a coal terminal, 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 Corps RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2143 of Engineers 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.) Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work: Preliminary contacts were made in connection with advanced planning for re- placement or pier reconstruction of railroad bridges and deepening Cuyahoga River at a cost of $1,661.48. The expenditure was $2,375.03. Maintenance: Government plant and hired labor removed 222,670 cubic yards of materials for restoration of project depth in the outer harbor and entrance channel at a cost of $57,331.57 and made repairs to the east and west breakwaters, the west pier and east pierhead at a cost of $61,263.97. Maintenance of the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers was con- tinued and 435,037 cubic yards of material removed by contract at a cost of $308,393.18. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $426,988.72. The expenditure was $460,229.01. The total cost for the year was $428,650.20, of which $1,661.48 was for new work and $426,988.72 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $462,604.04. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 29 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 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 of 150 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 remain to be done to complete the project. The controlling depth in the main entrance channel, through the west basin, and between the piers was 24 feet and in the 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 2144 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 $11,583,559.49, of which $6,324,265.12, including $616,767.03 Public Works funds, was for new work and $5,259,294.37, including $125,000 Public Works funds, for maintenance. The total expenditure was $11,574,558.50, including $741,767.03 Public Works funds. In addition, $50,000 was expended from contributed funds for maintenance.

FAIRPORT HARBOR, OHIO Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Grand River, 33 miles easterly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 346.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1825, and May 20, 1826. For further details see page 1963 of 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 substruc- 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 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 1947, is $2,520,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $79,000.

Local cooperation.-The River 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. All other conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-One coal dock does a general public business. One limestone dock, two sand and gravel docks, 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 facili- ties 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 66,578 cubic yards of material from the outer harbor, river channel, and turning basin for restoration of project depths at a cost of $31,502.30 for maintenance. The expenditure was $28,836.41. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 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 2148 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 $3,451,870.06 of which $2,496,653.97 including $187,772.04 Public Works funds, was for new work and $955,216.09 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,451,741.65 including $187,772.04 Public Works funds.

ASHTABULA HARBOR, OHIO Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Ashtabula River, 59 miles easterly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 342.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of May 20, 1826; March 3, 1829; July 3, 1832; March 2, 1867; June 10, 1872; and March 3, 1881; and modified by the Secretary of War July 8, 1890. For further details see page 1963 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1593 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) An outer harbor about 185 acres in area protected by break- waters, the west breakwater 7,780 feet long, and the east breakwater 4,400 feet long, all of rubble-mound construction, except 430 feet of. the west breakwater, which consists of timber-crib substructure and stone superstructure. (b) A west pierhead of timber-crib substructure and concrete 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. 2150 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 (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. Ordinary 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 above to 1 foot below low-water datum. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1947, is $2,975,000, 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: Acts Work authorized Documents June 3, 18961905 Construction of breakwater---------- ____ .Annual - Report, 1895, p. 3122.

Doc. 321, 77th Cong., 1st sess. 1 Authorized by Public Works Administration, Sept. 6, 1933. 2 Contains latestpublished map. 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2151 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 are three privately owned fish docks, one privately owned stone dock, one sand and gravel dock, a large shipyard and drydock, and a car-ferry terminal also. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 9, 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.--New work: The prep- aration of plans and specifications by hired labor for extending the river channel were continued at a cost of $7.05. Maintenance: Government plant and hired labor removed 95,504 cubic yards of material at a cost of $34,453.06 and made repairs to the west breakwater at a cost of $22,581.22. The total cost for the year was $57,041.33 of which $7.05 was for new work and $57,034.28 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $50,971.19. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 96 percent complete. The west breakwater was completed in 1915 ex- cept 580 feet of the inner end which was completed in 1923, and 600 feet of the outer end which was completed in 1935. The east break- water was completed in 1915; 800 feet of the westerly end was 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 breakwater 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 $3,699,591.19 of which $2,856,764.16, including $536,648.38 Public Works funds was for new work and $842,827.03 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,699,596.01 including $536,648.38 Public Works funds. 2152 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

CONNEAUT HARBOR, OHIO Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Conneaut River, 73 miles easterly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 33.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1829, July 13, 1892, February 24, 1893, and June 3, 1896. For fur- ther details, see page 1964 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1597 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) An outer harbor, the deepe.ed portion of which is about 142 acres in area formed by a system of breakwaters comprising a west breakwater 5,965 feet long, connected with the shore, with a 100-foot gap, 1,670 feet from shore, all of rubble-mound construction, and an east breakwater 3,675 feet long, 2,625 feet of which is rubble-mound construction and 1,050 feet of timber cribs with concrete super- structure. (b) A west breakwater pierhead of timber-crib substructure with concrete superstructure. (c) An east breakwater light foundation of concrete superstructure founded on the outer end of the rubble-mound. (d) An entrance 600 feet wide between the west breakwater pier- head and the east breakwater light foundation. (e) An east pier 1,008 feet long of timber-crib substructure and concrete superstructure. (f) A depth of 25 feet in soft material and 26 feet in hard material in the eastern portion of the outer harbor and for a depth of 20 feet in the remainder of the outer harbor, consisting of a triangular area with its apex about 900 feet southerly from the west breakwater pierhead, its southeasterly angle 800 feet westerly from the west pier, its southwesterly angle 100 feet from the west breakwater. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- 2154 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 1947, is $4,303,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1944) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $44,000.. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 Extension of east breakwater, construction of new H.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-Local interests maintain the river channel to provide access to terminals in the river, comprising one coal terminal which is open to shippers of coal, one iron ore, 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 facil- ities 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 98,019 cubic yards of material for the restoration of project depth in the outer harbor at a cost of $33,086.05 and made repairs to structures at a cost of $66.52. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $33,152.57. The expenditure was $31,433.66. Condition at end of flscal year.-The existing project is about 76 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- RIVERS AND HARBORS BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2155 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 disintegrating and pulling away and the deck stone is settling. The timber fender on the east pier is in 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 remainder of the outer harbor to 20 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $3,846,080.17, of which $3,270,446.92, including $1,010,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $575,633.25 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,846,119.80, including $1,010,500 Public Works funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the accounts receivable at the end of the fiscal year, $615.19, plus an allotment of $121,500 made during August 1947 will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Dredging outer harbor by United States hopper dredge, October and November 1947, and May 1948----------------------- $73, 500. 00 Repairs to the west breakwater by Government plant, August to October 1947_ _----------_ 42, 000. 00 Sweeping and removing obstructions in the outer harbor by Government plant, August and September 1947 _____ 6, 615. 19 Total-----------------------------------_ ------ _ 122, 115. 19 Redredging and sweeping are required annually and repairs to the west breakwater are necessary.

ERIE HARBOR, PA. Location.-On the southerly side of the bay formed by Presque Isle Peninsula, on the south shore of Lake Erie, 78 miles westerly from Buffalo, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 332.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of May 26, 1824, and modifications were subsequently made by approval 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2157 (b) A channel of the same depths and 600 feet wide from the entrance channel to a line 50 feet outside of the pierhead line at the ore terminal, suitably widened at the junction with the 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 to a line perpendicular to the harbor line 200 feet west of the city dock, with its southerly side 50 feet from the harbor line. (d) An approach channel 23 feet deep and 300 feet wide from the 25-foot channel to and including a turning basin of the same depth 1,200 feet long by 1,000 feet wide at the westerly docks. (e) An additional harbor area 18 feet deep, of about 35 acres, extending westerly from the 21-foot area and northerly from the har- bor 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 1947, is $1,686,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $41,000.

ARMY, 1947 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 sand, one grain elevator, and one municipal pier at which miscellaneous freight is handled. There are two small-boat basins in which there are docks for fish, marine repair work, and small pleasure craft. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Prepara- tory work was done by hired labor on plans and specifications for deep- ening an approach channel and turning basin to the westerly docks at a cost for the year of $767.93. Maintenance: Contract for repair of protection works along Presque Isle Peninsula was let during June 1947 and the cost for the year was $2,754.27. Government plant and hired labor dredged 43,794 cubic yards of mnaterial for the restoration of project depths in the channels and basin area at a cost of $24,007.19. A survey lakeward of Presque Isle Peninsula to determine the effects of the protection works con- structed in 1944 was made at a cost of $6,284.51. The total cost for the year was $33,813.90 of which $767.93 was for new work and $33,045.97 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $34,646.90. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project is 46 percent complete. The breakwater and piers were completed in 1915. A 3,050-foot section of rubble mound protection work on the peninsula was completed in 1921, 5,281 feet of steel sheet piling protection work with stone facing were completed in 1930, and two experimental 300- foot stone groins and about 1,385 feet of stone protection work at beach 2 were completed in 1943. The construction of 2,750 feet of stone protection work, just north of the Kelso groin, was completed in 1944. The 18-foot harbor basin was deepened in 1900. Widening and straightening of the entrance channel was completed in 1936. The deepening of the entrance channel and the approach channel to the easterly docks to 25 feet, except for small triangular areas along the southeasterly and southwesterly limits of the approach channel, was completed in 1939. The 21-foot harbor basin was deepened in 1940. The harbor structures are generally in poor condition. In approxi- mately 540 feet of the north pier the concrete has disintegrated, RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2159 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. 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 little 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 '1 feet to the public docks, foot of State Street. The total cost of the existing project was $3,188,834.21 of which $768,075.02 was for new work and $2,420,759.19 for.maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,190,419.21. In addition, there was a cost and expenditure of $148,500 from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the accounts receivable at the end of the fiscal year, $227,680.35, plus an amount of $133,300, allotted during August 1947, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Realignment and repair of bulkhead at section "D" under existing contract, July to November 1947- _ _- - $249, 500. 00 Dredging the channels and turning basin by Government plant August, September, and October 1947 and June 1948 -_._ 90, 300. 00 Surveys lakeward of Presque Isle Peninsula with Government plant and plans for protective works, August to December 1947 _ 15, 000. 00 Sweeping the channels and removing obstructions with Govern- ment plant, September 1947---------------------------- 6, 180. 35 Total _ _------------------------------------------ 360, 980. 35 Redredging and sweeping are required annually and repairs to the north pier are necessary.

Terminal facilities.-There are three wharves in this harbor. Two are too dilapidated for commercial purposes. The third, owned by the city of Dunkirk, is designed for commercial use by large lake ves- sels. The terminal has been leased to private parties but is open to all on equal terms under the terms of the lease. The facilities are considered adequate for the small existing com- merce or any probable increase. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Examinationsoundings and sweepings of the channel and turning basin were made by Gov- ernment plant and hired labor at a cost and expenditure for the year of $900 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1918. About 800 feet of the lake side of the west pier has been rein- forced with stone riprap. The harbor structures are in good condition. A depth of 15 feet below low-water datum is available in the entrance channel through the basin to the Central Avenue wharf. Depths in the remainder of the basin vary from 4 to 12 feet. The total cost and expenditure of the existing project was $496,915.39 of which $56,174.10 was for new work and $440,741.29 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed during fiscal year 1948. The sum of $75,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 in restoration of project dimensions in the channel and basin. 2164 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

S. ARMY, 1947 13. BUFFALO HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-At the eastern end of Lake Erie, at the head of Niagara River, 176 miles easterly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Charts Nos. 3 and 314.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of May 20, 1826, with modifications by River and Harbor Acts of July 7, 1838, June 23, 1866, June 23, 1874, June 3, 1896, March 2, 1907, and June 25, 1910. For further details see page 1967 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1606 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following: (a) An outer harbor about 41/2 miles long and 1,600 feet wide, formed by a breakwater system approximately parallel to the lake shore extending from Stony Point to the head of Niagara River and having a total length of 23,704 feet, with entrances near the north and south ends, and consisting of the Stony Point breakwater (including the south entrance arm) 3,603 feet long; the south breakwater 10,289 feet long; the old breakwater 7,608.5 feet long; the north breakwater 2,203.5 feet long; a south entrance 550 feet wide; a centrally located circulation gap about 150 feet wide and natural depth of 20 feet; and a north entrance 1,300 feet wide. 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 limit 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 River entrance channel from the outer harbor to the junction of Buffalo River and Buffalo Ship Canal, with the southern project limit 5 feet from the south pier and the northern project limit 40 feet from the dock of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Co. (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 approximately 13 feet. The project depths are referred to low water datum for Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water surface are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low- RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2167 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 1947, is $12,912.000, exclusive of amounts expended'on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $172,000.

Local cooperation.-Deepening the south portion of the harbor and the south entrance channel to 25 feet, and removal of the shoals in lake approach to a depth of 27 feet are subject to the condition that local interests afford satisfactory assurances that the 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 responsible 2168 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 56 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, automobiles 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 wharves, one of which is used as an auto- mobile terminal. The American Shipbuilding Co. has a drydock and facilities for repairing lake vessels. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 1, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fscal year.-New work: Plans and specifications for deepening Buffalo River entrance channel Buffalo River and Ship Canal and the north entrance channel to project depths were continued by hired labor at a cost for the year of $12,851.68. Maintenance: Sounding survey of the Buffalo River was estab- lished at a cost for the year of $3,540.26; obstructions were removed from the Buffalo River entrance channel, north entrance channel and outer harbor at a cost of $7,727.42, and repairs were made to the south pier and Stony Point breakwater at a cost of $8,323.39. Main- tenance of the Buffalo River and Ship Canal by contract was continued and 95,511 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost for the year of $80,105.28. The total cost for the year was $112,548.03, of which $12,851.68 was for new work and $99,696.35 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $170,208.66. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 21 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 channel has been deepened to project depth except for strips 50 feet wide along the breakwater and the harbor line and 180 feet wide between the Saskatchewan Pool Terminal's and the Terminal's and Transportation 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- RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2169 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 settled. 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 channel 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 $5,567,832.94, of which $2,672,458.35, including $655,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $2,895,374.59 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $5,567,942.66. In addition there was a cost and expenditure of $390,000 from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and the accounts receivable at the end of the fiscal year, $29,522.86, plus an amount of $220,700, allotted during August 1947, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947-------------------------- .. $6, 256. 50 New work: Completion of plans and specifications for deepening Buffalo River and north entrance channels and Buffalo River and Ship Canal to project depth by hired labor, July to December 1947------------------------------------ 509. 98 Maintenance: Dredging Buffalo River and Ship Canal under existing contract, July to August 1947_-- - - $40, 000. 00 Dredging the Buffalo River entrance, and the outer harbor by United States hopper dredge, July 1947_----------------------------- _ 33, 000. 00 Repairs to the old and south breakwaters and south pier by Government plant, July 1947 and June ---------------------------- -- ------ 17, 600. 00 1948________ Sweeping and removing obstructions in Buffalo River and north entrance channels and Buffalo River and Ship Canal, July 1947, March to June 1948 ------------------------------------ 12, 000. 00 Dredging the Buffalo River entrance channel and outer harbor by United States hopper dredge, June 1948 ------------------------------- 50, 856. 38 Dredging the Buffalo River and Ship Canal by con- tract, April to June 1948------------- ---- 90, 000. 00 243. 456 38 Total, new work and maintenance__---_------- __- 250, 222. 86 Deepening the north entrance to 25 feet and 26 feet and the Buffalo River entrance and the Buffalo River and Ship Canal to 22 feet and 23 feet should be done.

BLACK ROCK CHANNEL AND TONAWANDA HARBOR, N. Y. Location.--This improvement is essentially that of the upper 131/2 miles of the Niagara River from its head at Lake Erie, Buffalo, N. Y., to and including Tonawanda Harbor, N. Y. It comprises the 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. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep from Buffalo Harbor, north entrance channel, to opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, total length 131/2 miles, as follows: From 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 removal of 200 feet of the westerly end of Rattlesnake Island Shoal; thence 400 feet wide to the foot of Tonawanda Island opposite Second Avenue, North Tonawanda, a distance of 5,000 feet, ending in a turning 766707-48-pt. 1, vol. 2-53 2172 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 1947, is $10,818,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $176,200, includ- ing $102,900 for operating and care. Description of Black Rock lock Location: Foot of Bridge St., Buffalo, N.

Transfer of freight takes place over the towpath to commercial plants on the east side. Along the upstream end of the channel there are two small boat harbors, one unused seaplane terminal, and one Naval Militia dock. Below the Black Rock lock and at Tonawanda Harbor there are five terminals for petroleum products, two for iron ore and coal, three for coal, one for molasses, four for sand and gravel, one for lumber, one for automobiles, one for wood pulp and paper, and two for pulp- wood, all of which are private. There are also two State-owned barge canal terminals. The facilities are considered adequate for the exist- ing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 11, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during the fiscal year.-New work: Contract operations for the removal of rock shoals in the Lake Erie entrance to the canal, in the Black Rock Canal and in the Niagara River portion of the canal were 33 percent complete at the end of the year, 76,663.9 square yards were cleared to project depth at a cost of $707,476.25, and plans and specifications for widening Lake Erie entrance to the canal completed at a cost of $169.66. The total cost for the year was $707,645.91. Maintenance: Government plant and hired labor removed 63,529 cubic yards of material from Black Rock Channel and Tonawanda Harbor at a cost of $37,968.80, repaired the towpath wall at a cost of $7,198.29 and repaired Bird Island Pier at a cost of $2,894.78. 2174 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Operating and care: The lock was in continuous operation 265 days and in operation during the day only for 85 days. The lock was closed March 17 to 31, 1947, inclusive, for underwater cleaning and repair. The Ferry Street Bridge was in continuous operation 280 days and in operation during the day only 85 days. The signal station at the foot of West Genesee Street, Buffalo, N. Y., was in continuous opera- tion 249 days and was closed from December 22, 1946, to April 17, 1947, inclusive. The cost for the year was $184,923.88. In addition, plans and specifications for reconstruction of the Ferry Street Bridge west abutment were started at a cost of $433.29. The total cost for the year was $941,064.95 of which $707,645.91 was for new work, $48,061.87 for maintenance, and $185,357.17 for operat- ing and care. The total expenditure was $860,258.98. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 80 percent complete. The channel from Buffalo Harbor north entrance to opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, is complete 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 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 Buf- falo 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 Rattle- snake 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. Tonawanda inner harbor channel was completed in 1904. The enlargement of the Tonawanda turning basin and the extension of Bird Island pier were completed in 1936. The lock, including wing walls and retaining walls above the lock, was completed in 1914, and the 100-foot east wing wall extension in 1927. The guide pier connecting with the west lower wing wall was completed in 1916, except 200-foot northerly extension and construction of concrete platform in the angle. The bridge at Ferry Street was completed in 1914 and the lock-operating houses in 1924. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of the improvement and extension of the guide pier, as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, 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 80 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 operat- RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2175 ing equipment and controls for the Black Rock lock are antiquated and inefficient. The upper wing wall of the lock has shifted laterally ap- proximately 2 feet at the maximum point and the concrete superstruc- ture on the lower wing wall is badly cracked indicating a possible fail- ure 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 $11,303,794.76 of which $8,684,777.76 including $1,764,921.94 Emergency Relief funds was for new work, $1,257,566.31 for maintenance, and $1,361,450.69 for operat- ing and care. The total expenditure was $11,230,673.16 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 im- provement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropria- tion for such purposes.

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. Operatiop and results during fiscal year.-Dismantling the tail tower, removal of the causeway, and landscaping Tower Island by con- tract was completed in 1947 at a cost of $64,615.57, the progress report was completed, ice observations, discharge measurements, and hydrau- lic studies made at a cost of $2,718.84, the dismantled towers were stored at a cost of $13,981.62, and miscellaneous surplus property sold for $2,465.38. A net reimbursement of $11,757.08 was made to the United States by the Dominion of Canada to balance the costs incur- red by the two Governments during the calendar year 1946. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $67,093.57. The expenditure was $65,900.14. 2178 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 194T Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1946. Under the existing project the preparatory work, in- cluding the construction of the causeway and Tower Island and the. erection of a construction cableway, was commenced in April 1942 and completed in September 1942. The causeway and construction cable- way were removed in 1946, Tower Island was landscaped in 1946 and remains as a permanent structure. Construction of the 1,710-foot sub- merged weir was started in 1942 and completed in 1944. During the period September 1942 to March 1943, a length of 1,445 feet was built as follows: 75 feet to elevation 552 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 elevation 554.5 feet, and the southerly end was extended to- ward the Canadian 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 1946 and 1947, observations of hydraulic and ice effects were made. The total cost of the existing project to the United States was $548,325.23, exclusive of a net adjustment of $117,286.97 made by the Dominion of Canada or a total at the end of the year of $431,038.26 of which $363,864.30 was for new work and $67,173.96 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $429,960.88. In addition there was a cost of about $431,000 in United States dollars to the Dbminion of Canada.

NIAGARA RIVER, N. Y. Location.-This improvement covers that portion of the Niagara River from Tonawanda Harbor, N. Y., to Niagara Falls, N. Y., a distance of 71/2 miles, and compensating works near the head of the river. The downstream limit of the improvement is about 16 miles from the mouth of the river at Lake Ontario. (See U. S. Lake Survey 'Chart No. 312.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of July 13, 1892, August 18, 1894, and June 25, 1910. For further details see' page 1970 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1619 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 12 feet deep and :300 feet wide in the east channel from the downstream end of the existing 21-foot channel opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, to the upstream end of the 12.7-foot channel near the Niagara Falls waterworks intake crib; and for a channel 12.7 feet deep and from 300 to 400 feet wide from the Navy Island channel (natural) to the foot of Hyde Park Boulevard (formerly called Sugar Street), Niagara Falls, N. Y. The project also provides for the construction of compensating works just above the contracted section of the river at Fort Erie, this work forming a part of the project for deeper channels in the connecting waters of the Great Lakes. The project depths are referred to the river surface when Lake Erie is at low-water datum, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 2 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced .by wind and other causes, are from 51/2 feet above to 11/2 feet below :that plane. 2180 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 $2,262.82 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project is about 41 . percent complete. The east channel from North Tonawanda to the Niagara Falls waterworks intake and Schlossers Channel from 1iagara Falls waterworks intake to the foot of Hyde Park Boule- vard were completed in 1934. The work remaining to be done is the construction of the compensating works just above the contracted sec- tion 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 $518,437.14 of which $463,386.62, including $94,512.24 Public Works funds was for new work and $55,050.52 for maintenance. In addition, $27,562.50 was expended from contributed funds for new work.

WILSON HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-This harbor is at the mouth of the east branch of Twelve Mile Creek which enters Lake Ontario 12 miles easterly of the mouth of the Niagara River and 67 miles westerly of Rochester Harbor, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 25.) Previous project.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1875. For further details see Annual Report for 1889, page 2395, et seq., and Annual Report for 1905, page 628. Existing project.-This provides for the restoration of the east and west parallel piers, 850 feet and 832 feet in length, respectively, by riprap-mound construction, and for an entrance channel 80 feet wide and 8 feet deep. The existing project is referred to low-water datum for Lake Ontario, elevation 244 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctuations of water surface are from 4 feet above to low-water datum, and fluctuations due to wind are small. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945. (H. Doc. 679, 76th Cong., 3d sess.) 2182 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1947, is $241,000. The estimate for annual cost of maintenance made in 1945, is $2,000.

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 Niagra 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. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 2, 1867 Dredging channel 11 feet deep between parallel piers I Annual Report, 1866, pt.

Doc. 780, 62d Cong., 2d sess. pier. 1 Completed under previous project. 2 Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Local interests have expended about $10,000 since August 1925 replacing old timber superstructure on east pier with concrete, and dredging in the channel. The sum of $5,000 was contributed in 1928 by local interests toward the cost of replacing old timber superstruc- ture on west pier with concrete. Terminal facilities.-The facilities consist of private docks for recreational craft and one tour boat dock. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Examination sound- ings of the project channel were made during the year by Govern-- ment plant at a cost of $153.25 for maintenance. 2184 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 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 crib is in poor con- dition. The controlling depth in the channel is 9 feet at low-water datum. The total cost and expenditure to the United States of the existing project was $83,742.28 all for maintenance. In addition, $6,500 was expended from contributed funds, $1,500 for new work and $5,000 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed during fiscal year 1948. The sum of $163,000 can be profitably expended for maintenance during fiscal year 1949 for repairs to the entire length, 800 feet, of the east pier and 50 feet of the west pier, all by contract. This amount exceeds the average amount expended annually for maintenance during the last 5 years due to the need for pier repairs.

OSWEGO HARBOR, N. Y. Location.-On the south shore of Lake Ontario, at the mouth of the Oswego River, 59 miles easterly from Rochester, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 225.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1827, March 2, 1831, June 23, 1866, July 25, 1868, July 11, 1870, March 3, 1881, September 19, 1890 the Sundry Civil Act of March 3, 1893, and River and Harbor Acts of August 18, 1894, June 3, 1896, March 2, 1907, and March 2, 1919. For further details, see page 1973 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1630 of Anual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the maintenance of 145 feet of the west inner breakwater, for an outer west breakwater 4,478 feet in length, consisting of 4,359 feet of stone-filled timber cribs with concrete superstructure, and 119 feet of rubble-mound construction; and for an arrowhead rubble-mound breakwater system, of which the west arrowhead breakwater is 2,700 feet long, and the east arrowhead breakwater is about 2,200 feet long; for dredging to a depth of 21 feet at low-water datum in the outer harbor east of the Lackawanna coal dock and between the harbor lines in the Oswego River north of the north line of Seneca Street; for dredging the outer harbor west of the east side of the Lackawanna coal dock to a depth of 21 feet in soft material and 22 feet in hard material at low-water datum; no dredging to be done within 100 feet of the breakwaters nor within 50 feet of the established harbor lines except in the river; for the removal of a part of the west outer breakwater, the lighthouse pier, and a part of the west inner breakwater; for the abandonment of the east inner break- water; for the elimination from the existing project of the east outer breakwater which was never constructed; and for the removal of the upper and lower islands in the Oswego River. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Ontario, elevation 244 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctuations of water surface are from 4 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum,-and fluctuations due to wind are small. 2192 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1947, is $5,363,000, which includes $1,188,000, the cost of that part of outer west break- water included in the existing project. The latest (1941) approved estimate for anual cost of maintenance is $34,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July 11, 1870 Construction of outer breakwater 1 _ __ __ __ Annual Report, 1870, pp. 54, 220, and 221.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied 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 cement, one for newsprint, and one for fish are private. One dock owned by the State naval militia and one by the city of Oswego are used by recreational craft. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Contract op- erations for deepening a 250-foot wide channel in the westerly outer harbor to project depths were 68 percent completed at the end of the year and 231,014 cubic yards of material, including 50,489 cubic yards of rock, were removed at a cost for the year of $541,324.30. Maintenance: Government plant and hired labor removed 12,775 cubic yards of material for the restoration of project depth in the outer harbor at a cost of $5,978.54. The total cost for the year was $547,302.84 of which $541,324.30 was for new work and $5,978.54 for maintenance. The total expendi- ture was $524,417.54. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 75 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2193 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 breakwater 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 and the turning basin have 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 $4,589,356.90, of which $4,009,516.29 was for new work and $579,840.61 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $4,555,234.86.

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 been received and were approved on March 10, 1947. Terminal facilities.-The New York Central Railroad Co. owns a passenger and package-freight terminal which is also used by the ferry to Wolfe Island, Ontario. There are three fish wharves; one coal and fueling wharf; and one pulpwood wharf. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operationsand results during the fiscal year.-New work: Contract operations for deepening the 20-foot project area and a portion of the 16-foot project area were 13 percent completed at the end of the year, 5,000 cubic yards of material were removed and the cost for the year was $8,910.38. The expenditure was $9,171.79. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is about 59 percent complete. 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 return arm was built in 1901. The breakwater is of the timber-crib concrete-superstructure type, and is in good condition except that the surface of the concrete is disintegrating. The con- trolling 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 completion 2200 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

ITHACA, OSWEGO RIVER BASIN, N. Y. Location.-The city of Ithaca, N. Y., is located in Tompkins County and is situated at the southern end of Cayuga Lake. (See U. S. Geo- logical Survey topographical maps of New York State.) Existing project.-Fall Creek flows along the northern edge of the city and' discharges into Cayuga Lake, and Cascadilla Creek flows through the center of the city and empties into Cayuga Inlet about 1/2 mile above its mouth. The plan of improvement provides for widen- ing Fall Creek channel from the foot of the falls at Lake Street to a point 2,900 feet downstream and for constructing levees on both banks of the channel, the levee on the left bank to be 5 feet higher than the levee on the right bank so as to protect the left bank from flows of 20,000 cubic feet per second and the right bank from flows of 14,000 cubic feet per second; protecting the Fall Creek channel slopes up- stream from the railroad bridge with a concrete crib wall and pro- tecting bridge piers and abutments with riprap ; increasing the capacity of Cascadilla Creek channel from 1,200 to 1,800 cubic feet per second by clearing the channel from the mouth of the gorge to Lincoln Street, a distance of about 4,200 feet; paving the bottom of Cascadilla Creek channel from Cayuga Street bridge to proposed debris dam; and con- structing a concrete check dam at the mouth of the gorge to reduce debris deposits in the channel. The plan of improvement for Fall Creek will protect the area along the left bank from floods about 30 percent greater than the largest flood of record, and along the right bank from floods approximately equal to the largest flood of record. The plan for Cascadilla Creek will provide protection against floods about 30 percent greater than the largest flood of record. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved August 18, 1941. (H. Doc. 846, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). The estimated Federal cost, revised in 1947, is $595,000 for construc- tion, and the estimated local cost, revised in 1946, is $33,600 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Engineering studies, by hired labor, for flood-protection work were continued at a total cost for the year of $490.22.

OWASCO INLET AND OUTLET, MONTVILLE AND DRY CREEKS, STATE DITCH, AND CRANE BROOK, N. Y. Location.-Owasco Inlet rises near Freeville, N. Y., in Tompkins: County, N. Y., and flows northward 20 miles to Owasco Lake in Cayuga County, N. Y. The lake is 11 miles in length and discharges into Owasco Outlet, which flows northward 16 miles and empties into, Seneca River. Montville and Dry Creeks are tributaries of the inlet, at and near the village of Moravia, N. Y., respectively, State ditcht FLOOD CONTROL-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2219 being a tributary of the outlet. Montville Creek is also called Mill Creek locally. Crane Brook drains an area immediately west of the Owasco Basin and flows in a general northerly direction to the Seneca River. (See U. S. Geological Survey quadrangle sheets, "New York- Auburn, Moravia, and Weedsport.") Existing project.-The project provides for the improvement of the channels of Owasco Inlet, Montville (Mill) Creek, and Dry Creek, replacement of two existing bridges spanning Dry Creek and con- struction of a dike along the north side of that stream; the improvement of State ditch and the channel of Owasco Outlet; and the improvement of Crane Brook, including the excavation of pilot and bypass channels and construction of two dikes. The work on State ditch has been completed by local interests. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 815, 77th Cong., 2< sess .) The estimated Federal construction cost, revised in 1917, is $278,400; the estimated local cost is $77,600. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. In addition to the usual requirements for local cooperation as provided by law, local interests are required to make the necessary bridre changes without cost to the United States. The State of New York has furnished assurances that local cooperation requirements will be met, with the exception of reconstruction of a railroad bridge over Dry Creek, which would be a Federal responsibility under the terms of section 3 of the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. These assurances were forwarded on June 23, 1947, for approval. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: The detailed plans and specifications, by hired labor, for improving Montville and Dry Creeks and Owasco Inlet were being prepared at a cost for the year of $16.221.79. The total cost of new work for the year was $16,221.79. The total expenditure was $8.946 43. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-No construction has been done. Preparation of detailed plans and specifications for improving Mont- ville and Dry Creeks and Owasco Inlet are essentially completed. Owasco Outlet and Crane Brook have been placod in an inactive cate- gory as substantial delays are expected in the fulfillment of local coop- eration. The total cost of the existing project was $29,176.74. The total expenditure was $24 500.

PANTHER MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR, MOOSE RIVER, N. Y. Location.-The dam site is on the South Branch of the Moose River, about 5 miles upstream from McKeever, N. Y., and 23 miles upstream of Lyons Falls, where the Moose River enters the Black River. The reservoir area is in Herkimer County, N. Y. (See U. S. Geological chart for Old Forge, N. Y.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of an earth-fill dam rising about 180 feet above the river bed with an uncontrolled side channel spillway and a gate-controlled outlet tunnel around the right abutment. The reservoir is to provide for storage of 274,000 acre-feet, 44,000 acre-feet of capacity to be for flood control and 230,000 acre-feet for stream-flow regulation. Pro- visions are to be made for the ultimate development of 20,000 kilowatts at the dam site. The estimated cost of the project, revised in 1946, is $7,238,800 for construction, including $6,008,800 to be contributed by local interests. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act, ap- proved December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 405, 77th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation.-Before construction is started on any element of the project, responsible local agencies must furnish without cost to the United States all available plans, hydraulic and geologic studies, results of underground explorations and other available information on the project, and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War: (a) That they will provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project; (b) that they will hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from construction of the works; (c) that they will maintain all the works and operate that portion of the reservoir storage reserved for flood control purposes, in accord- ance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War; and (d) that upon completion of the works they will contribute toward the first cost of constructing the project the sum of $6,008,800. The Black River regulating district has furnished plans, preliminary report, and field notes on the Panther Mountain Reservoir. By resolution dated October 31, 1945, the Black River regulating district assured compli- ance with items (a), (b), (c) and contribution of $2,950,000 of the amount required by item (d) and by letter dated August 31,1946, with- drew all assurances and stated that they planned to construct a reser- FLOOD CONTROL---BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2225 voir at Higley Mountain about 10 miles upstream from the project dam site, which will provide no flood-control storage.

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, authorized the allotment of not to exceed $1,000,000 from the flood- control appropriation for any one fiscal year in the removal of ac- cumulated snags and other debris from, and the clearing and straight- ening of channels in navigable streams and tributaries thereof when such work is advisable in the interest of flood control. An allotment of $25,000 was received during fiscal year 1946 for snagging and clear- ing the Cazenovia Creek channel in the town of West Seneca, N. Y., upstream of the New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroad bridges for a distance of approximately 6 miles, by hired labor. Approximately 6 miles of the Cazenovia Creek channel upstream of the New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroad bridges, in the town of West Seneca and about 0.5 mile. of the west branch of the channel upstream of the village of West Falls, town of Colden, were cleared and straightened by the removal of shoals and boulders, by hired plant and labor, during the period July to November 1946. The total cost and expenditure during the fiscal year for this work was $24,093.39. The project is 96 percent complete. The unexpended balance at the end of the fiscal year of $906.61 will be used to complete the project by removing snags and clearing a portion of Cazenovia Creek up- stream of Ridge Road Bridge, by hired labor, July to September 1947.

Location.-Morro Bay is on the Pacific coast, 110 miles south of Monterey Bay, 120 miles northwest of Santa Barbara Harbor and nearly midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5387.) Existing project.-This plan of improvement provides for two random stone breakwaters, the upcoast breakwater extending 1,800 feet south by west from Morro Rock, and the downcoast breakwater extending west from the sandspit, 1,399 feet, thence northwest 433 feet, a total distance of 1,832 feet; an entrance channel 16 feet deep and 350 feet wide; a stone dike extending from Morro Rock to the mainland, a distance of 1,600 feet; a main channel 16 feet deep varying in width up to 800 feet from the entrance to. opposite the town of Morro; a quarry-waste revetment levee extending along the water front 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. 283, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). The project document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-The project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, is subject to the conditions with respect to that part of the channel and basin beyond the limits of the 16-foot depth that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the.Secretary of War, they will: Furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction and for subsequent maintenance, when and as required: construct and main- tain a roadway to and along Morro water front to give proper access to the improvement; and provide and maintain adequate facilities for the mooring and servicing of vessels, at terms reasonable and equal. to all. The estimated cost of these items is $50,000. Local cooperation has been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 2,083 feet of piers and a marine rail- way, constructed by the Navy, and a few small piers constructed by private local interests. Facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-Work consisted of preparation of plans and specifications for maintenance of the Morro (north) breakwater at a cost of $4,319.98 and final payment on dredg- ing contract amounting to $2,456.26, a total cost of $6,776.24 for maintenance. The expenditures were $8,455.75. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existin -project was com- pleted in 1946. The south breakwater was completed in 1942, the stone dike connecting Morro Rock and the mainland in 1942, the retaining RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 2231 levee and marginal fills along the Morro water front in 1944, and the channel to the lower bay in 1944.

SANTA BARBARA HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-This improvement 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 plan of improvement provides for main- tenance 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 pro- vided and operated by and at the expense of local interests; the United States to make available for the operation of the plant an amount not exceeding $30,000 annually, the present approved estimated annual cost of maintenance, whenever funds are 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 inter- cepting plant has been installed. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.4 feet. The extreme range is about 10 feet. The latest (1934) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authosized Documents Aug. 30, 1935 Maintenance by dredging of the present depths into Senate committee print, 73d Csag., the harbor formed by the breakwater constructed 2d sess. by local interests.

Prior to adoption by Congress, the work was authorized by the Public Works Administration. Local cooperation.--Nospecific 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 2233 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 the fiscal year.-Work consisted of maintenance dredging by contract which was completed in June 1947. A total of 575,044 cubic yards was dredged and deposited on down- coast beaches. The costs were $110,000 for maintenance. The ex- penditures were $114,069.71. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging was com- pleted in June 1947. Controlling depths on September 12, 1945, were as follows: Entrance channel 25 feet for a width of 200 feet; 27 feet for an area 300 feet by 1,000 feet; 20 feet for an area 500 feet by 900 feet; 13 feet to 20 feet at Stearns wharf; and 16 feet at the Navy pier.

Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5147.) Previous projects.--Los Angeles Harbor.-There was no project for the outer harbor prior to the existing project. Original project for the inner harbor was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1881, August 2, 1882, June 3, 1896, June 13, 1902, June 25, 1910, and July 18, 1918. Long Beach Harbor.-Therewas no previous project. For further details see page 1977 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1646 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This plan of improvement provides for a break- water 11,152 feet long extending easterly from Point Fermin and a de- tached breakwater 12,500 feet long in prolongation easterly thereof ; for an entrance channel 1,000 feet wide and 40 feet deep to outer Los Angeles Harbor, with a turning basin 3,500 feet long and 1,500 feet wide of the same depth opposite the end of pier 1, and enlargement of the entrance to the inner harbor by dredging to a depth of 35 feet, a triangular area at its junction with this turning basin; for an inner harbor channel 35 feet deep and 1,000 feet wide, with a turning basin at Los Angeles Harbor 35 feet deep; for a channel 35 feet deep and 650 feet wide in the east basin from the turning basin to United States station 406; for dredging to a depth of 35 feet and 400 feet wide in Cerritos Channel from United States station 406 to the Long Beach turning basin; for a turning basin 35 feet deep at Long Beach; for an entrance channel to Long Beach Harbor 35 feet deep and 300 to 500 feet wide; for maintenance of the Long Beach breakwater south of the outer end of pier A; for dredging to a depth of 40 feet an irregular area A, averaging about 5,000 feet long and 1,900 feet wide, located adjacent to and southwest and south, respectively, of the 40-foot-deep 766707-48--pt. 1, vol. 2--57 2236 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 entrance channel and turning basin at Los Angeles Harbor and shore- ward of the San Pedro breakwater; for dredging to a depth of 40 feet, an area B, adjacent to the northeasterly side of the entrance channel to Los Angeles Harbor, tapering from a width of about 2,100 feet at that location to zero in a length of about 10,000 feet, the north- erly side of the area being generally parallel to and 3,750 feet from the axis of the detached breakwater; for the construction and main- tenance of a rubble-mound breakwater of the composite type about 21,000 feet long in an easterly direction from the northeast end of the existing detached breakwater; for dredging about 4,000,000 cubic yards initially for a settling basin at the mouth of the Los Angeles River Diversion Channel, and depositing the material, on the beaches east- ward therefrom to Belmont pier; for maintenance dredging of areas A and B, and at the mouth of the Los Angeles River Diversion Chan- nel; and for the construction of silt-diversion works for the protection of Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.5 feet. The extreme range isabout 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1947, is $31,429,200, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. This estimate does not include the cost of constructing 6,000 feet of breakwater by the Navy Department. The latest (1941) approved estimates for an- nual cost of maintenance are $125,000 for dredging and $125,000 for repairs to the breakwater.

Doc. 843, 76th Cong., 3d sess. to the 40-foot-depth entrance channel; the construc- (contains latest published map.) tion and maintenance of a rubble-mound break- water of the composite type about 21,000 feet long in an easterly direction from the northeast end of the existing detached breakwater; dredging about 4,000,000 cubic yards initially for a settling basin at the mouth of the Los Angeles River diversion chan- nel, and depositing the material on the beaches east- ward therefrom to Belmont pier; maintenance dredging of areas A and B, and at the mouth of the Los Angeles River diversion channel; all subject to such modifications as in the discretion of the Chief of Engineers may be advisable to meet the require- ments of the Navy. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, pro- poses that the locality take the following cooperative action: (a) Cede to the tnited States, in lieu of that portion of the military reservation 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 inter- ests have expended approximately $60,500,000 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 75,043 linear feet of wharves, of which 55,512 linear feet are owned by the city and 19,531 linear feet by private interests. In Long Beach Harbor there are 31,006 linear feet of wharves, of which 14,021 linear feet are owned by the city, 12,000 linear feet by the Government, and 4,985 linear feet by private interests. With the completion of proposed new facilities, the first unit of which is now under construction, the facilities will be adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-Work consisted of continuation of construction under a continuing contract of the 13,350- foot detached breakwater. A total of 136,286 tons of class A stone, 103,567 solid cubic yards of class B stone, and 140,814 solid cubic yards of class C stone were placed at a cost of $1,752,888.86 for new work. The expenditures were $1,492,355.87. Repairs to the 12,500-foot de- tached breakwater were commenced under a continuing contract. A total of 88,222 tons of class A stone, 80,718 solid cubic yards of class B stone, and 1,676 lifts were placed at a cost of $686,818.54 for mainte- nance. The expenditures were $638,151.33. 2238 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 79 per- cent completed. The San Pedro breakwater was completed in 1912, the silt-diversion works in 1923, the Los Angeles inner harbor channels and turning basin in 1931, the Long Beach entrance channel in 1932, the Los Angeles Harbor entrance channel in 1937, and the outer harbor turning basin in 1939. The 6,000-foot section of the detached break- water was completed under Navy contract in 1942. About 4,700 feet of the 13,350-foot detached breakwater was completed in 1943. A portion of the remaining 8,650 feet of the 13,350-foot detached break- water was partly constructed in 1943, and construction was resumed in 1946. The 12,500-foot detached breakwater was completed in 1937 and during the storm of September 24 and 25, 1939, sustained damage. Restoration was commenced in January 1947. The breakwaters were in good condition except as noted above. Dredging from the settling basin at the mouth of the Los Angeles River diversion channel was completed April 1946. A total of 6,449,575 cubic yards of material was dredged from the project.

NEWPORT BAY HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-This improvement is located on the Pacific coast, 24 miles southeast 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 plan of improvement 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 deep, approximately 6,000 feet long and varying in width up to 330 feet; a turning basin 20 feet deep, approximately 2,00 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- RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 2241 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, on which amount local interests were re- quired to contribute one-half. The estimated cost of new work is $2,107,793.66, which is com- prised of $1,593,793.66, the cost of work authorized by the Public Works Administration of which local interests contributed one-half; and $514,000 authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, of which $255,000 is required to be contributed by local interests. 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 Public Senate Commerce Committee print Works Administration. 75th Cong. Mar. 2,1945 Widening the main channel, deepening the Newport S. Doc. 138, 78th Cong., 1st sess. Channel, and dredging 2 anchorage areas. ' (Contains latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Theimprovements authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, are subject to the conditions that local interests contribute $255,000 to the first cost, and that responsible local agencies agree to furnish without cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredge spoil for the initial work and subse- quent 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 expend- iture 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 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.

SAN DIEGO HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-On the Pacific coast just north of the United States- Mexico boundary line, about 96 and 506 miles southeast of Los Angeles Harbor and San Francisco Bay, respectively. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5107.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of Au- gust 30, 1852; March 3, 1875; September 19, 1890; and June 25, 1910. For further details see page 1976 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1642 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This plan of improvement provides for a rub- ble-mound jetty 7,500 feet long on Zuniga Shoal; for an entrance chan- nel 40 feet deep, 800 feet wide; for removal of Middle Ground Shoal and widening the entrance channel to the eastward in that vicinity to a depth of 36 feet; for a bay channel 35 feet deep and 2,200 feet wide from the vicinity of Whalers Bight to the naval air station; for an anchorage area northward of the bay channel 1,200 feet wide, 12,000 feet long, and 35 and 26 feet deep in the easterly and westerly halves, respectively; for an approach to the 35-foot anchorage, triangular in shape, 900 feet wide and 35 feet deep; for an approach to the 26-foot anchorage, triangular in shape, 800 feet wide and 26 feet deep; for a seaplane basin 1,500 feet wide, 12,000 feet long, and 8 feet deep, land- ward of the anchorage area; for a turning basin 35 feet deep, opposite the municipal piers; for a channel approximately 20,000 feet long, 1,500 to 2,500 feet wide, and 30 feet deep in the southerly part of the bay; for a channel to National City and Chula Vista 20 feet deep and 200 feet wide; for the dredging of a seaplane basin in the southerly part of the bay, 5,000 to 8,500 feet wide, 21,000 feet long, and 10 feet deep, and for filling an area of approximately 110 acres adjacent to the southerly end of the basin; and for an earthen dike 7,735 feet long to divert the San Diego River from San Diego Bay to False Bay. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.6 feet.' The extreme range is about 10.5 feet. The estimated cost of new work is $10,695,000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and $10,000 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $40,000, of which $20,000 is for entrance-channel dredg- ing and $20,000 for bay dredging. 2244 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides that before any work is undertaken on the turning basin, 1- al interests shall furnish necessary disposal areas and give assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of War and the Chief of Engineers that they will deepen areas adjacent to the municipal piers to depth of 35 feet, and that before any work is undertaken on the channel to Chula Vista local interests shall contribute $10,000 in cash. Th se conditions have been complied with, except in the case of the chamnel 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.-Work consisted of final RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 2245 surveys of the dredged area. The costs were $4,320.32 for new work. The expenditures were $11,712.09. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 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 1941, dredging for the Navy at mooring 49 in 1941, and repair work on San Diego River dike in 1942. Divisions 3 and 4 of area S were completed in 1942, division 2 in 1944, and division 1 in 1946. Dredg- ing in area S to the extent desired by the Navy was completed in 1946. Dredging the triangular approaches to the 26-foot and 35-foot anchor- ages in area M has not been commenced.

Location.-The site of the improvement is on the right bank of the Little Colorado River at Holbrook, Ariz. Exi.ting project.--The plan of improvement provides protection for the city of Holbrook, Ariz., by construction of a levee on the right (north) bank of Little Colorado River which would protect about,95 percent of the city from a flood of a magnitude of 60,000 cubic feet per second, which is expected to occur about once in 50 years.

PRADO DAM, SANTA ANA RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Location.-The dam site is in Riverside County, on the Santa Ana River, approximately 30 miles above the mouth. Existing project.-This is a unit of the general plan for protection of the metropolitan area in Orange County, authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The plan of improvement provides for a rolled-fill earth dam 2,280 feet long, maximum height 106 feet above stream bed, with a flood- control basin of 222,000 acre-feet capacity at spillway crest; an uncon- trolled spillway 1,000 feet in length, located in a saddle near the left abutment; and outlet works through the dam at the right abutment. The operation of the basin regulates the run-off from a tributary area of 2,264 square miles, reducing the flow of the design flood from 193,000 to 9,200 cubic feet per second. The estimated total cost revised in 1947 is $6,050,000 for construction and $3,560,900 for acquisition of lands and highway and railway relocation, a total of $9,610,900. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-Work consisted of acquisition of lands, relocation of utilities, preparation of a recrea- tional planning report, and maintaining the dam in operating condition. The cbsts were $9,587.27 for acquisition of lands and relocation of utilities, $705.58 for preparation of the recreationl planning report, a total of $10,292.85 for new work. The costs for maintenance were $28,225.39, a total of $38,518.24. The expenditures were $33,377.53. Two minor storms occurred during the year, the first on November 13 to 15, 1946, and the second on December 26 to 28, 1946. During the first storm the peak inflow was 2,030 cubic feet per second and the maximum (partially regulated) outflow was 630 cubic feet per second. The maximum amount of. water in storage was 1,790 acre-feet, or less than 1 percent of the gross storage capacity at spillway crest. Dur- ing the second storm the peak inflow was 1,810 cubic feet per second and the maximum (partially regulated) outflow was 650 cubic feet 2280 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 per second; the maximum storage was 1,310 acre-feet, or less than 1 percent of the gross storage capacity at spillway crest. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam was completed in 1941. The work remaining consists of reimbursement to local interests for utility relocation, lands, and rights-of-way, and completion of the recreational planning report. The costs to June 30, 1947, were $8,818.763.42 for new work and $211,058.60 for maintenance, a total cost of $9,029,822.02. The expendi- tures were $8, 904,662.04.

FULLERTON DAM, SANTA ANA RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Location.-The site of the improvement is in Orange County, 2 miles northeast of the city of Fullerton, on East Fullerton Creek, approximately 4 miles above its junction with Brea Creek. Existing project.- This is a unit of the general plan for protection of the metropolitan area in Orange County. The plan of improve- ment provides for a rolled-fill earth dam 575 feet long, maximum height 47 feet above stream bed. The operation of the basin regulates the run-off' from a tributary area of 5.05 square miles, reducing the flow of a design flood from 4,600 to 240 cubic feet per second. The estimated 1946 total cost is $373,146 for construction and $37,809 for acquisition of'lands and relocation of highways. This improvement was. authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. Local cooperation.-None required. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-Work consisted of maintaining the dam in good operating condition. The costs were $12,000 for maintenance. The expenditures were $13,386.77. FLOQD CONTROL-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 2283 One minor storm occurred on December 26 to 28, 1946, which pro- duced a peak inflow 6f 32 cubic feet per second.

BREA DAM, SANTA ANA RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Location.-The dam site is in Orange County, 1.5 miles north of Fullerton on Brea Creek, approximately 8 miles above its junction with Coyote Creek. Existing project.-This is a unit of the general plan for protection of the metropolitan area in Orange County, authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The plan of improvement provides for a rolled-fill earth dam ap- proximately 1,770 feet long, maximum height 87 feet above stream bed, with a flood-control basin of 4,240 acre-feet capacity at spillway crest; an uncontrolled spillway, 150 feet in length, located in a saddle near the left abutment; and outlet works near the left abutment. The operation of the basin regulates the run-off from a tributary area of 23.4 square miles, reducing the flow of a design flood from 8,300 to 1,330 cubic feet per second. The estimated total cost, revised in 1947, is $968,800 for construction and $221,200 for acquistion of lands. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-Work consisted of preparation of a recreational planning report. The dam was main- tained in good operating condition. The costs were $285.23 for new work and $16,168.09 for maintenance, a total cost of $16,453.32. The expenditures were $18,300.94. One minor storm occurred on December 25, 1946, which produced a peak inflow of 55 cubic feet per second. The peak outflow was 82 cubic feet per second. The maximum amount of water in storage was 39 acre-feet, or less than.1 percent of the gross storage capacity at spillway crest. Special gate operation for rating downstream gaging station caused delay in outflow peak. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam was completed in 1942. Work remaining consists of completion of the recreational planning report. The costs to June 30, 1947, were $1,188,697.71 for new work and $98,500 for maintenance, a total cost of $1,287,197.71. The expendi- tures were $1,286,932.43.

SAN DIEGO RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Location.-The site of the improvement is on the San Diego River at San Diego, Calif. Eaisting project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a suitable levee as a replacement of the existing Govern- ment 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, and 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 floodwaters of San Diego River to facilities and activities which are concentrated in the area between the Government dike and San Diego Bay. The estimated total cost is $350,000 for construction and $20,000 for lands and damages. This improvement was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 635, 77th Cong., 2d sess.) 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.")

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 dam and basin for flood control; which would be a concrete gravity dam with a maximum height of 130 feet above the stream bed, and a crest length of 535 feet. An uncontrolled spillway 200 feet in length and 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 sedimentation and conservation purposes. The operation of the reservoir would regulate the run-off from a tributary area of 143 square miles, reducing the flow of the de- sign.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 mainte- nance and operation. The project was authorized by the Flood Con- trol Act approved July 24, 1946, in accordance with the recommenda- tions of the Chief of Engineers in his report dated June 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. 220, 80th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army 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. Local interests have not been notified of the requirements of local cooperation. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction has been com- menced. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed during the fiscal year 1948. No funds can be profitably ex- pended during the fiscal year 1949. 24.

Location.--Located 17 miles south of the Oregon State line and midway between San Francisco Bay and the mouth of the Columbia 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. 27 ° E. 2293 2294 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 extending from Battery Point to Round Rock, a rubble mound sand barrier from Whaler Island to the easterly shore, an inner breakwater extending northwesterly from Whaler Island, so as to form a pro- tected 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.

Termninal 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 con- dition these facilities are considered inadequate for existing com- merce. Local interests are planning to expand terminal facilities. Operations and results during fiscal year.-As new work, 85,680 cubic yards of stone were placed by contract to complete the 1,120-foot- long inner breakwater; preparatory work was performed by the con- tractor on a 1,000-foot extension to the main breakwater and removal of pinnacle rocks in the fish-boat harbor; advance planning for the extension of the main breakwater to Round Rock was completed. The costs for these items of work were $248,671, $70,803.65, and $608.49, respectively, or a total of $320,083.14 for new work. Main- tenance work consisting of periodic condition surveys was done by hired labor at a cost of $1,941.68. The total costs were $322,024.82 and the expenditures were $285,075.52, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 55 percent physically complete. The work remaining to be done includes the completion of the 1,000-foot-long extension of the main break- water and removal of pinnacle rocks in the fish-boat harbor now under contract; and construction of an additional 1,700-foot extension to the main breakwater to Round Rock.

HUMBOLDT HARBOR AND BAY, CALIF. Location.-Humboldt Bay is a small landlocked harbor on the coast of California, 225 miles north of San Francisco Bay and 70 miles south of Crescent City Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5832.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1881, September 19, 1890, July 3, 1892, March 3, 1899, and March 2, 1907. For further details see pages 1982-1984 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 northy 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. 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 estimated for, annual cost of maintenance of dredging is $58,000. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of the jetties.

The act of August 26, 1937, requires that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable spoil-disposal areas as required for, maintenance dredging. Terminal facilities.-There are 36 wharves and 7 small-boat land- ings, 4 boat-building and repair plants, 5 boat-fueling stations, and 1 boat-icing plant, exclusive of facilities owned by the United States. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The S. hopper dredge Davison worked from September 17 to November 8 and dredged _U. 264,008 cubic yards from the project channels. The jetties were pa- trolled during the winter to observe the effect of winter storms and eriodic condition surveys were made. The costs of these items of hired labor and maintenance work were $68,453.44, $3,390.89, and $547.01 respectively, or a total of $72,391.34. The expenditures were $73,164.73, 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, November 1946; natural channel in bay north of entrance thereto, 26 feet November 1946; Samoa channel, 26 feet November 1946; Eureka channel, 26 feet to B Street, thence 18 feet to M Street, November 1946; thence 12 feet to head of project, June 1946; Fields Landing channel, 26 feet near the entrance and 27 feet in turning basin (26 feet can be carried around shoal areas and 27 feet to the Fields Landing wharf) November 1946; Arcata channel (which is no longer used), 18 feet, May 1937.

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 former 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 (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $41,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July 3, 1930 Entrance channel and channel in the river---.....--......-- S. Doc. 156, 71st Cong., 2d sess. Mar. 2,1945 The breakwater in Noyo Harbor__--- ------------ H. Doc. 682, 76th Cong., 3d sess. (Contains latest published map.) Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, requires that local interests provide the necessary rights-of-way and easements for the construction and maintenance of the breakwater, including access thereto, and a suitable royalty-free quarry in the locality; and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide suitable public facilities and arrangements for the loading and un- loading of vessels in Noyo Harbor. These requirements have not been complied with. All prior requirements have been fully complied with for new work. The act of July 3, 1930, requires that local interests provide free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredged materials. Terminal facilities.-In the harbor, there are moorings and a cable- way for holding and loading vessels. In the river there are six 76670748--pt. 1, vol. 2-----61 2300 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 wharves for unloading fish, five boat-fueling terminals, and three 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. Operationsand results duringfiscal year.-Advance planning for the outer breakwater was performed by hired labor at a cost of $4,328.49 for new work. As maintenance work, 41,882 cubic yards were dredged from the project channel by contract at a cost of $73,032.51. The total costs during the year were $77,361 and the expenditures were $68,723.07, 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.

Location.-Bodega Bay is a triangular lagoon on the California coast 58 miles north of San Franciscb. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic. Survey Chart No. 5603.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 100 feet wide and 12 feet deep at mean lower low water, protected by jetties; a channel of the same dimensions as the entrance channel to the town of 2302 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Bay, and thence southerly along the shore for a distance of about 4,200 feet, with three widenings or turning basins 12 feet deep and 300 to 400 feet in width, one located at the inner end of the entrance channel, the second at the junction of the bay and shore channels near the town of Bay, and the third at the southern end of the shore channel; and a suitable bulkhead to prevent sand from the spit near the entrance be- ing carried into the bay channel. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.6 feet, and the extreme tidal range is about 11 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1943, is $641,800. The latest (1938) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $15,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938 (H. Doc. 619, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). The latest pub- lished map is in that document. Local cooperation.--Fully complied with for new work. Local in- terests are required to furnish disposal areas for maintenance dredg- ing and to maintain suitable grasses or shrubbery to control the sands on the dunes west of the bay. Terminal facilities.-There are 12 small fishing and pleasure wharves and landings, all privately owned, 1 boatbuilding and repair plant, and 3 boat-fueling stations. These are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Periodiccondition sur- veys and surveys for proposed dredging were made by hired labor at a cost of $3,358.58. The expenditures from regular funds for this main- tenance work were $3,651.25. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1943. In May 1947 the midchannel controlling depth was 7 feet from the entrance to the town of Bay; thence 9.5 feet along the easterly shore to and including the center portion of the turning basin. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $641,799.71 for new work and $5,803.85 for maintenance, a total of $647,603.56, and the expenditures were $647,272.79, all from regular funds.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with for new work. The act of August 26, 1937, requires that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitably bulk-headed spoil-disposal areas for main- tenance of the channel to the San Francisco Airport. Terminal facilities.-The State has 42 piers, 4 passenger ferry slips, 6 car-ferry slips, a small boat landing, a large union passenger depot, some 2.2 miles of bulkhead wharves parallel to the sea wall, providing an aggregate of 11.9 miles of berthing space. Facilities which will pro- vide 2,000 additional feet of berthing space are under construction. The existing facilities are considered adequate. (See Port Series No. 10, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Floating debris was cleared from the harbor in the interest of safety and periodic condition surveys were made of the project channels. The work was done by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $38,363.35 for mainte- nance. The expenditures were $37,320.40 from regular funds. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 90 per- cent physically complete. The work remaining to be done is the com- pletion of the bar channel and the removal of Raccoon Shoal. The dredging of Islais Creek was completed in 1930, the deepening of Presidio Shoal in 1931, the removal of the various rocks in 1932, the RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2305 deepening of Point Knox Shoal in 1934, the deepening of Alcatraz Shoal in 1936, the deepening of Black Point Shoal in 1937, and the dredging of the channel and basin at the San Francisco Airport in 1941.

Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5533.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 14, 1880, July 13, 1892, July 18, 1918, and March 3, 1925. For further details see page 1982 of Annual Report for 1915, page 1665 of Annual Report for 1929, and page 1684 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.--This provides for a channel 8 feet deep and 200 feet wide in San Pablo Bay to the mouth of the creek; thence 8 feet deep and 100 feet wide in the creek to Western Avenue, Petaluma, including a depth of 8 feet in the turning basin; thence 4 feet deep and 50 feet wide to Washington Street Bridge; thence 4 feet deep and 40 feet wide to a point 935 feet above the Washington Street Bridge. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The length of the section under improvement is 19.5 miles, of which 5 miles are in San Pablo Bay downstream from the mouth of the creek. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.1 feet at the entrance and 6.6 feet at the head of navigation, with an extreme range of 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work revised in 1933, was. $85,063 ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $22,000. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2309 The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. 183, 70th Cong., 1st sess.).

OAKLAND HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-Located on the eastern side of San Francisco Bay, opposite the city of San Francisco. The inner harbor is situated be- tween the cities of Oakland and Alameda. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5535.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1874, June 13, 1902, March 2, 1907, and June 25, 1910. For 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. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 35 feet deep from deep water in San Francisco Bay to Oakland Outer Harbor, 800 feet wide across the shoal southeast of Yerba Buena Island, thence 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2319 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 58 in Brook- lyn 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, and July 3, 1930, and March 2, 1945, is $1,503,000 and including $83,547 contributed funds, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $90,000.

S. ARMY, 1947 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. 407, 69th Cong., 1st sess., and H. Doc. 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. 28, 70th Cong.), local interests have re- placed the bridges at Park Street and High Street and are operating and maintaining them. They are legally unable to replace the Fruit- vale Avenue Bridge because of a decision rendered by the Federal court that a municipality cannot contribute funds toward the better- ment of a private corporation. The Southern Pacific Railroad Co. operates trains over this bridge. Terminal facilities.-Thereare 88 wharves, exclusive of those owned by the United States, 8 ferry terminals, and 1 large vegetable oil terminal in the harbor. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (See Port Series No. 10, Corps of Engineers.)

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 May 1947 the midchannel controlling depths in various project channels were as follows: Entrance channel to outer harbor and entrance channel to inner harbor, 30 feet; channel from entrance of inner harbor to Grand Street, Alameda, 28 feet; channel from Grand Street to Oak Street, Alameda, 24 feet; outer harbor, 29 feet. In 1946, the controlling depths in the Tidal Canal and in Brooklyn Basin were 17 and 18 feet, respectively.

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 included 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2323 Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1979 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1672 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 500 feet wide and 30 feet deep across San Bruno Shoal in San Francisco Bay; a channel 300 feet wide and 30 feet deep from deep water in the bay to the junc- tion 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 Stein- berger 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 mile 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. 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. The facilities are adequate. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Davison dredged the channel and turning basin and removed 315,700 cubic yards as maintenance work at a cost of $41,593.61; periodic con- dition surveys were made by hired labor at a cost of $3,068.26. The total costs were $44,661.87 and the expenditures were $44,830.98, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 34 percent complete.

MOSS LANDING HARBOR, CALIF. Location.-This harbor is located on Monterey Bay about mid- way between the cities of Santa Cruz and Monterey. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5403.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 200 feet wide and 15 feet deep, protected by jetties, from Monterey Bay into the inner lagoon at Moss Landing, thence a channel in the lagoon, 100 feet wide, 15 feet deep, and approximately 3,200 feet long extending southerly from the entrance, with a flared widening to a width of 200 feet for a length of 400 feet at the southerly end. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.3 feet with an estimated extreme range of 10.5 feet. The estimate of cost of new work is $350,000. There is no 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. 50, 79th Cong., 1st sess.) 2326 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 dam- ages resulting from construction work. The requirements for new work have been fulfilled. Terminal facilities. There are three piers and several fish-receiving hoppers within the protected harbor and one pier with a submerged pipe for handling petroleum products in Monterey Bay at Moss Land- ing. These facilities are not adequate, but improvements are being made to accommodate prospective commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-As new work, 482,646 cubic yards were removed by contract dredging during the fiscal year to complete the entrance and inner channels. The north and south timber jetties, 900 and 620 feet long, respectively, were completed under the same contract. The cost of this new work for the fiscal year was $290,448.14. As maintenance work, stone was placed along the temporary timber jetties which were scoured and damaged by storm wave action, stone revetment was placed on the north and south shores and 96,566 cubic yards of material removed from the entrance channel by U. S. Hopper Dredge Pacific.

Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in October 1947. At the end of the fiscal year the midchannel con- trolling depths were: 15.3 feet in the entrance from deep water to the outer turning basin; 12.9 feet in the outer turning basin and 14.8 feet in the inner channel and turning basin. The costs of the existing proj- ect to the end of the fiscal year were $343,552.15 for new work and $447,102.80 for maintenance, a total of $790,654.95. The expenditures were $776,412.21. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $105,587.79, and an allotment of $10,000, received in August 1947, will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947------------------------------ $367. 49 Maintenance: Completion of entrance channel redredging, U.

S. ARMY, 1947 14. MONTEREY HARBOR, CALIF. Location.--Located about 90 miles south of San Franisco Bay, at the south end of Monterey Bay, an indentation 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 way 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 protected portion of the harbor. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.5 feet. The extreme range is about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1939, is $727,000. The latest (1939) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is t $30,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July 3, 1930 Breakwater, 1,300 feet long_--------------------- Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 12, 71st Cong., 1st sess.

Doc. 266, 76th Cong., 1st sess. I Previously authorized Public Works Administration program, Sept. 6, 1933. 2 Contains 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 been com- plied with for the work performed to date. All prior requirements have been fulfilled. 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 conges- tion generally exists within the protected harbor due to a lack of sufficient protected anchor mooring space. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2329 Operationsand results during the fiscal year.-Underthe provisions of section 11 of the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1925, local interests advanced funds for dredging the authorized harbor depth of 8 feet adjacent to Municipal Wharf No. 1. The work was commenced by contract and 58,520 cubic yards were removed at an accrued cost of $32,913.29 with final costs outstanding at the end of the fiscal year. The work was discontinued before the depth was attained over the entire project limits because the dredging endangered an unrevetted retaining levee adjacent to the project. In addition to the above- mentioned new work, the results of a previous condition survey were plotted by hired labor at a cost of $25.47 for maintenance. The expenditures were $27.73 from regular funds and $31,075.67 from advanced funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 95 percent complete. The breakwater was completed in 1934. The work remaining to be done is the completion of dredging to project limits of the authorized harbor depths adjacent to municipal wharf 1 and the construction of the sand trap. The costs and expenditures of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were as follows: New work Maintenance Total Expendi- costs costs costs tures Regular funds_______--------------- ___ _ $445, 151. 00 $918.36 $446, 069.36 $446, 069.36 Public Works funds .....................------ 207, 800. 00 ----------- 207, 800. 00 207, 800. 00 Advanced funds____.....---------..------------------ 32, 913. 29 32, 913. 29 31,075.67 Totals .__ .......-----------------------------..... 685,864. 29 918. 36 686, 782. 65 684, 945.03 Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of advanced funds, amounting to $42,924.33 as of June 30, 1947, together with accounts receivable, $924.52, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947------------------------------$2, 762. 14 Final outstanding costs for dredging adjacent to municipal wharf 1 by contract July and August 1947-------------------_____ 13, 086. 71 Refund of unused portion of $74,000 originally advanced by local in- terests, August 1947------------------------------____ 28, 000. 00 Total_-------------- ------------------------------ 43, 848. 85 The unexpended balance of regular funds as of June 30, "1947, amounting to $2,331.64, together with an allotment of $13,000 made in August 1947 will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, July 1947 to June 1948 in making periodic condition surveys and inspections at a cost of $3,631.64.

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 har- bors 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 Kingman removed 48,229 cubic yards of material from a shoal that had developed in Carquinez Strait, west of the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge, at a cost of $5,891.25. In addition, snags, piles, and obstructions which were interfering with fishing operations in Carquinez Strait were re- moved by hired labor at a cost of $1,015.90. The total costs were $6,907.15 and the expenditures were $7,087.78, all from regular main- tenance funds. The midchannel controlling depth over the shoal in Carquinez Strait was increased from 27 to 32 feet, and all snags, piles, and obstructions were removed to complete the work currently au- thorized in the district under section 3 of the River and Harbor Act of March 2,1945.

Location.-The work is located on the Pajaro River at Watson- ville and on Carnadero Creek at Gilroy. (See U. S. Geological Survey quadrangles, Capitola, San Juan Bautista, and Morgan Hill, Calif.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of levees on the right and left banks of the Pajaro River from near the mouth to high ground, about 6 miles upstream from Watsonville, with suitable bank protection; and the raising, enlargement, and lengthening of the existing levee on Carnadero Creek at Gilroy. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1947, is $714,000, exclusive of estimated non- Federal costs of $336,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944, and is contained in House Document 505, Seventy- eighth Congress, second session. The latest published map is in that document. Local cooperation.-The act of December 22, 1944, requires that local interests provide without cost all lands, easements and rights-of- way necessary for the construction of the project; make at their expense all necessary changes in existing improvements, including utilities and highway and railway bridges, with the privilege of con- tributing $46,000 to the United States for special channel-construction work at the Watsonville highway bridge in lieu of bearing the expense of altering that structure; hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from construction of the works; and maintain and operate all works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. Local interests have not ful- filled these requirements but are making arrangements to do so. The State of California has officially adopted the project in chapter 1514, California Statutes of 1945. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Minor revisions were made to plans which had been previously prepared. The costs were $232.63 and the expenditures were $484.66, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction has been accom- plished. The costs of the project to the end of the fiscal year were $28,619.12 for new work. The expenditures were $28,578.96. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $421.04 as of June 30, 1947, together with an allotment of $500,000 received in August 1947, will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947_ $40. 16 New work: Raising of the Southern Pacific R.

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 neces- sary 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 lum- ber terminals, a cotton compress and warehouse, a bean-cleaning plant, oil refinery, and storage tanks, a large storage tank for crude molasses, and bank of silos for cement storage, there are numerous publicly and privately owned shallow-draft wharves at Stockton. Certain facil- ities at the Stockton port terminal are in use for military purposes. A naval supply depot (Stockton annex) has been completed on Rough 2344 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Cost and expenditures were $42.70, for survey expense for a 9-foot channel in Mormon Channel. Maintenance: The 30-foot channel to Stockton was completely re- stored to project dimensions at the confluence of the main river and Stockton Channel, and vicinity, by the excavation of 217,000 cubic yards by the U. S. pipe-line dredge TVelatka, at a cost of $94,006.09, including surveys and inspections. Under hourly basis contract, clam- shell .dredging plant was used to restore project channel dimensions in Stockton Channel, Fremont Channel, and McLeod Lake at Stockton, 9,000 cubic yards being excavated at a cost of $4,225.56. Preparation of spoil area near Stockton was completed by hired labor, at a cost of $15,780.42. Miscellaneous surveys, from the mouth of the river up to Stockton, cost $9,027.47. Total costs for the fiscal year were $42.70 for new work and $123,'- 039.54, for maintenance; total expenditures were $121,879.43. 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. Dredging of the widened 30-foot channel to Stockton was completed in October 1940. The minor structures involved are in good condition. 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- quarters 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 enlargement of the cross section of this branch to 1,550 square feet, thence to its mouth at 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. 152, 55th Cong., 3d sess., and Annual Report RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2347 for 1899, p. 3188). The latest published map is in House Document 256, Sixty-third Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-See report on San Joaquin River, Calif. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hired labor was used to clear the entire 9.6 miles of diverting canal of brush and debris, at a cost of $7,723.77 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $7,849.20. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1910, including these features of work: Excavation, embankments, and clearing of obstructions. The minor structures involved are in good condition. Most of the silt formerly deposited in Stockton and Mormon Channels is diverted therefrom by this canal, obviating serious inconveniences to navigation and expensive annual dredging. The total cost was $370,379.61, of which $253,151.03 was for new work and $117,228.58 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $370,379.61. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $1,411.27, and an allotment of $5,000 made in August 1947, will be applied to maintenance work, including removal of 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 1947, and miscellaneous inspections. The additional sum of $8,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 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 1948----------_ $5, 000 Dredging deposits of silt from the Calaveras section of the diverting canal, by contract, December 1948______________________________ 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, 1947-------------------------- $253, 151. 03 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947------------------_ 117, 228. 58 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947 370, 379. 61 Net total expenditures___________________________________ 370, 379. 61 Unexpended balance June 30, 1947---------------------------- 1,411. 27 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947----------_ 371, 790. 88 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 Cost of new work-... . - -------------- Cost of maintenance............ $577. 59 $145. 94 $3, 016. 30 $125. 43 $7, 723. 77 Total expended------------------- 583.45 174. 68 3, 016. 30 - 7, 849. 20 Allotted------------- . . . - ------ ..-------------- 9,000. 00 2, 000.00 -1, 400.00 766707-48--pt. 1, vol. 2--64 2348 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 both forks. The mean lower low-water depths considered sufficient for needs of navigation are as follows: Mokelumne River Location of section going upstream Depth Length Feet Mites Mouth of river to lower junction North and South Forks__-.-----_ __------ -9 4 Lower junction North and South Forks to Snodgrass Slough via North Fork -.... 9 8 Snodgrass slough to upper junction North and South Forks via North Fork..... 6 1 Lower junction North and South Forks to upper junction of same at New Hope ,- Landing via South Fork __..._________ ................. __ ...- . - 9 14 ----------- New Hope Landing to Galt-New Hope Bridge--------..........------------- 3 8 At low-river stages the range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth is 4 feet, with extreme tidal range of 5 feet; there is no tide at the upper end, just above Galt-New Hope Bridge. Ordinarily flood fluctuation is 5.5 feet at the mouth and 12 feet at the upper end. Extreme flood fluctuation is 8 feet at the mouth and 17 feet at the upper end. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1881, was $8,250. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884, Senate Executive Document 34, Forty-seventh Congress, first session (Annual Report for 1882, p. 2637). For latest published map see House Document 1160, Sixty-third Congress, second session. Local cooperation.-None required. Up to June 30, 1911, the State of California expended approximately $23,000 in clearing the river of snags and trees, for 3 miles above the Galt-New Hope Bridge, and in making several cut-offs. Two-thirds of the cost of this work was RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO., CALIF., DISTRICT 2349 contributed by the local protection district. The result was to ac- celerate run-off and improve navigation conditions in the lower river. Other similar expenditures have been made by local interests, for which records are not available. Terminal facilities.-The Western Pacific Railroad has warehouses at terminus, on Potato slough; otherwise commodities are handled on small wharves or landings or on the banks at various points. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1885. Controlling depths are as shown in the table under existing project, except in the first section, where 12 feet is the controlling depth; in the third section, where 2 feet is the controlling depth; and in the fourth section, where 8 feet is the controlling depth. The channel is reasonably free of obstructions to the head of navigation, except for a few that usually develop at low-water stages in the fall. The total cost and expenditures were $74,037.01, of which $8,500 was for new work and $65,537.01 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $1,000, Thade in August 1947, will be applied to maintenance, in removing snags, overhanging trees, and other obstructions from the mouth up to New Hope Land- ing, by hired labor and Government plant, in August and September 1947. The additional sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance, as follows : Dredging sand bars and shoals by contract, from mouth to New Hope Landing, July or August 1948_____ ___-_________________ $1, 400 Removing snags, overhanging trees, and other obstructions, by hired labor and Governent plant, September 1948_------------------------ 600 Total for maintenance- _-__ -___...-.- - - _ 2, 000 Cost and financial summary - Cost of new work to June 30, 1947______________________- __ _ $8, 500. 00 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947 -------------------------- 65, 537. 01 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947 --------------- 74, 037. 01 Net total expenditures____________ ______ ____-----74, 037. 01 Unexpended balance June 30, 1947___ _ Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947 -------------------- 74, 037. 01 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 Cost of new work-- - - - Cost of m aintenance ..............

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, 1892, 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 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 com- pensate 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 Sacra- mento River; thence 6 feet deep at low water to Colusa, 85 miles; thence 5 feet deep at low water to Chico Landing, 49 miles; and such depths as practicable thence to Red Bluff, 53 miles. Below Sacramento the results are to be obtained by means of dredging and dry excavation of 30-foot and 11-foot cuts for channels, with related confining embank- ments, harbor excavation and structures. The ten-foot channel project by the river route, adopted in 1927, is still to be maintained for local navigation. Above Sacramento the results are to be obtained by re- moval of snags and concentration of the channel by temporary works, and stream-flow regulation by the Shasta Reservoir. All depths refer to mean lower low water.

I This document contains latest published map of the section above Sacramento. For map of the section below Sacramento, see H. Doc. 1123, 60th Cong., 2d sess., and S. Doe. 142, 79th Cong., 2d sess. Local cooperation.-No work shall be undertaken until responsible local agencies agree to furnish without cost to the United States all necessary lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and subsequent maintenance when and as required and to make all necessary utility changes, and until they give assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will (a) con- struct, operate, and maintain at the Washington Lake Basin an ade- quate public terminal with necessary utilities and rail and highway connections open to all on equal terms, (b) hold and save the United States free from any damages which may arise from construction, oper- ation, and maintenance of the improvement. The California Legis- lature on June 20, 1947, by chapter 1152, 1947 statutes, duly signed by the Governor, appropriated $750,000 for the Sacramento, Yolo port district for rights-of-way; contingent upon a showing satisfactory to the State director of finance (1) that approval of a bond issue (for $3,750,000) has been given by the voters of the port district, and (2) the making of a Federal appropriation for construction of the deep water channel to Sacramento, Calif. The first requirement was ful- filled by passage of the bond issue at an election of November 4, 1947. Recommended modifications of project.-In House Document 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 2352 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 four wharves of a total length of 350 feet, with 108,560 square feet of warehouse space, all privately owned and used. Between Sacramento and Chico Landing there are 47 warehouses and numerous small landings. Freight is also handled on the bank. Between Sacramento and the mouth of the river there are, in addition to 1,440 linear feet of wharf with ware- house facilities at Rio Vista, 19 large wharves, about 38 large ware- houses, and many small warehouses and landings all owned and oper- ated by private interests. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and 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 $133,278.54. Total expenditures were $145,720.64. Maintenance: Above Sacramento-Snagging and clearing of brush were done by hired labor, from Colusa downstream, at a cost of $266.88. Repairs to wing dams between the mouth of Feather River and a point 5 miles downstream were made at a cost of $783.50. Lack of funds prevented additional work on both of these activities. Maintenance: At and below Sacramento-The U. S. pipe-line dredge Sacramento removed 540,380 cubic yards from the river be- tween Y Street, Sacramento, and the mouth of American River, at a cost of $163,025.54. In dredging below Sacramento in Steamboat Slough channel, 87,604 cubic yards were removed by clamshell dredging plant under hourly basis contract, at a cost of $18,287.37. Special work on spoil areas, including rebuilding roads covered by dredge spoil, and grading, cost $13,589.61. Miscellaneous surveys of the river cost $16,992.19. Total cost for both sections was $212,945.09, and total expenditures were $207,591.26, for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The 10-foot channel below Sacra- mento 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, provided 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, 3.6 feet; thence to Butte City, 3 feet; and thence to Sidds Landing, 2.7 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. The total cost under the existing project was $5,040,758.76, of which $368,798.26 was for new work and $4,671,960.50 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $5,020,195.44. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $274,674.58, and allotments of $140,700 for maintenance RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2353 and $50,000 for advance planning, made in August 1947, will be ex- pended as follows: Accounts payable ---------------------------------------- $20, 563. 32 New work (to provide a 6-foot channel from Sacramento to Colusa, and a 5-foot channel thence to Chico Land- ing, with scheduled operation of Shasta Dam and Res- ervoir) : Dredging 5-foot channel through bars between Colusa and Chico Landing, by hired labor and Government or rented plant, August to Septem- ber 1947--------------------------------$20, 000. 00 Construction of gravel and cobble training dikes to force scouring of channels by river current, Au- gust to December 1947---------------- ------ 70, 000. 00 Snagging, from Colusa to Chico Landing, by hired labor and Government plant, July to December 1947 ----------------------------- _ _ 122, 222. 41 Advance planning for 30-foot channel to Sacra- mento-----------_ ------------------------ 50, 000. 00 ____--- Total for new work______________ -____----262, 222. 41 Maintenance: Dredging at Sacramento by Government pipe-line dredge, July to September 1947, including spoil area work and acquisition of lands and rights-of- way-_ _----------------------------- 140, 000. 00 Dredging below Sacramento by contract, August and September 1947------------------____ 8, 00000. 00 Snagging below Sacramento by hired labor and Government plant, September and October 1947 5, 000. 00 Maintenance of wing-dam system at and below Sacramento by hired labor and Government plant, September and October 1947------------4, 000. 00 Snagging above Sacramento by hired labor and Government plant, July to December 1947 15, 000. 00 Maintenance of wing-dam system above Sacra- mento by hired labor and Government plant, August to October 1947 ---------------------- 7, 000. 00 Miscellaneous surveys, above and below Sacra- mento during fiscal year__---_____- ___ _ 3, 588. 85 Total for maintenance_ ....--- __------______-- 182, 588. 85 Total application of funds---- ----------- ----- 465, 374. 58 The additional sum of $2,750,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for new work and maintenance, as follows: New work: Commence work on 30-foot ship channel auth- orized in 1946 River and Harbor Act___--------------------- $2, 500, 00( Maintenance: Dredging at Sacramento by Government pipe-line dredge, July to October 1948, including spoil area work and land acquisition------------------_ $145, 000 Dredging below Sacramento by contract, August 1948_ 20, 000 Snagging below Sacramento by hired labor and Gov- ernment plant, December 1948------------------ 10, 000 Maintenance of wing-dam system at and below Sacra- mento, by hired labor and Government plant, July to November 1948__________________________ 15, 000 Dredging above Sacramento by contract, August 1948_ 20, 000 Snagging above Sacramento, by hired labor and Gov- ernment plant, July to October 1948 -_ .-- 20, 000 2354 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2355 5. FEATHER RIVER, CALIF. Location.-This river rises in the Sierra Nevada, and empties into the Sacramento River about 21 miles above the city of Sacramento. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheet "Topographic Map of the Sacra- mento Valley, Calif.") Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916, without previously published report. For further details see page 1985, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1711, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for improvement of the river from its mouth to Marysville by providing for a channel of such depths as may be practicable at an average annual cost not in excess of $10,000, and that no local cooperation be required in addition to the contribu- tion already made by local interests in accordance with the requirement of River 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. 1, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are several small landings, all privately owned. All other traffic is handled on the bank. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project is one of main- tenance and requires the removal of obstructions and construction of wing dams as needed. The controlling depth from the mouth at Ver- ona 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.-An allotment of $1,000, made in August 1947, will be applied to 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. The additional sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended in similar work during the fiscal year 1949, in August to October 1948.

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 channels, is a bychannel of the San Joaquin, leaving Old River, another by- channel above the city of Stockton and rejoining the main river about 15 miles below Stockton. Whiskey Slough enters the San Joaquin 6 miles upstream from Middle River and is connected by Empire Cut, an artificial waterway, with Latham Slough and Middle River. Turner Cut is an artificial cut-off at the mouth of Whiskey Slough. (See U. S. Geological Survey, California quadrangles Bouldin, Woodward Island, Holt, Union Island, Stockton, and Lathrop.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930. For further details see page 1290 of Annual Report for 1934. Existing project. This provides for a channel 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide in Middle River below Borden highway bridge; in Latham Slough between Middle River and Empire Cut; and in Empire Cut, Whiskey Slough, and Turner Cut between Middle River and San Joaquin River. The mean range of tide is about 3 feet during stages of extreme low water. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1935, was $6,500, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30,1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 48, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied 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. All facilities are privately owned, but are open to public use. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2357 Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed 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 expendi- tures were $7,645.52, of which $6,754.22 was for new work and $891.30 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No operations are proposed for the fiscal year 1948. The sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1949 in removing bars and shoals which develop to obstruct the 9-foot channel in Middle River and connecting waterways.

SUISUN BAY CHANNEL, CALIF. Location.-SuisunBay 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. 2358 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.--Fully complied with. 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, all privately owned and used. Also, a naval magazine with wharves and warehouses has been constructed at Port Chicago, on the southern shore (mile 6). Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. pipe-line dredge Welatka was used to excavate 244,223 cubic yards in restoring the 30-foot channel through Middle Ground Shoal, at a cost of $98,- 382.49, including cost of surveys and inspections. Under contract work was begun in June 1947; 30,150 cubic yards being excavated by the pipe-line dredge Olympic in restoring the 30-foot channel between the Martinez-Benicia Bridge and Roe Island, at a cost of $2,802.31 (for Government expense only). Latter job is 11 percent complete. Total cost of operations was $101,184.80 and total expenditures were $97,- 847.59, all 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 $609,086.68, of which $142,026.28 was for new work and $467,060.40 for maintenance; total expenditures were $605,749.47. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $52,552.49, and an allotment of $45,000, made in August 1947, will be applied to payment of accounts payable, $3,337.21, and to maintenance dredging in the 30-foot project channel near Bulls Head Point, Point Edith, Port Chicago, and through Middle Ground and Roe Island Shoals, by contract pipe-line dredge in July and Au- gust 1947, and to miscellaneous surveys and inspections, January to June 1948. The additional sum of $75,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 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 1948.

SUISUN CHANNEL, CALIF. Location.-Suisun Channel is the project channel in Suisun Slough, a tidal inlet with its mouth on the northwest side of Suisun Bay, about 7 miles northeast of Benicia and 36 miles northeast of San Francisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5534.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water from Suisun Bay to and in the basin at the town of Suisun, straightened by four cut-offs in the upper portion; channel widths to be 200 feet in the bar channel, 100 feet in the cut- offs, and a minimum of 125 feet in the remaining parts of the project channel; widening four bends located 5, 51/2, 71/2, and 121/2 miles below Suisun; the removal of ledge rock from the channel at a location about 3 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 2360 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 low H. Doc. 1110, 60th Cong., 2d sess. water, by dredging and making a cut-off just below the town. Mar. 4,1913 Pursuant to this act the project was modified by the Assistant Secretary of War to provide for dredging a channel 125 feet wide on the bottom and 6 feet deep, mean lower low water, up to and including a basin 6 feet deep, 150 feet wide, and 1,417 feet long in front of the town of Suisun, and the removal of a rock about 3. miles below the head of navigation. Aug. 23, 1937 Depth of 8 feet with a width of 200 feet in the bar chan- Rivers and Harbors Committee nel and 100 feet in cut-offs; widening 4 bends below Doc. 97, 74th Cong., 2d sess. Suisun; removal of ledge rock and extension of the (Contains latest published map.) basin at Suisun. Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish free of cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil- disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance, undertake any necessary reconstruction of the power-line crossing over the pro- posed cut-off near Suisun, and provide at Suisun adequate public 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 when materials are available at reasonable cost. Terminal facilities.-There are three wharves in the city of Suisun, with a total of 600 feet of berthing space. There is also warehouse space of 33,500 square feet, and an oil-storage terminal. These are all privately owned and operated, and will be increased in compliance with the provisions of local cooperation, as land has been purchased, financing arranged, and plans have been prepared for construction when materials are available at reasonable cost. 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 a total of 851,310 cubic yards from the bar at the mouth of Suisun Channel, 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). All work was completed on June 10, 1947. Total costs for the fiscal year were $182,035.16 for new work; total expenditures were $185,124.30. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1947. The controlling depth is 8 feet in the channel and harbor basin. The total cost under the existing project was $215,462.82 for new work and $31,922.64 for maintenance, a total of $247,385.46. Total expenditures were $247,304.55. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $13,052.86, of new work funds, and an allotment of $1,500 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2361 made in August 1947, for maintenance, will be applied to payment of accounts payable, $80.91, to surveys and preparation of a new map folio, as new work, and to maintenance dredging in the new project channels. The additional sum of $10,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance, dredging channels in Suisun Channel and in harbor basin at Suisun, by contract, August or September 1948.

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 2362 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Santa Fe wharves and Phillips cannery at Orwood station; entrances 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Fabian-Bell Canal at its westerly end and just west of the Grant Line highway bridge; enlargement of Grant Line Canal west of Doughty Cut to a depth of 10 feet and width of 100 feet; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide with suitable alinement from the westerly end of Doughty Cut to the Holly Sugar Factory; a channel 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide from the southerly end of Doughty Cut to the head of Old River; and a channel 6 feet deep and 80 feet wide in the original channel of Old River from the westerly end of Grant Line Canal to the Lammers Ferry Road. All depths are re- ferred to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the head of Old River is about 2 feet; and at its mouth about 4 feet; ordinary flood fluctuations are, respectively, 15 feet and 51/2 feet, extreme flood fluctuations are, respectively, 19 feet and 8 feet. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1937 is $72,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $15,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. 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 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. These are all privately owned and operated. Public landings should be provided as set forth above under "Local cooperation." Operations and results during fiscal year.-Clamshell dredging and other excavating plant, operating under contract for its hire and operation, removed 56,300 cubic yards from the channels in places, from Grant Line Canal to the Holly Sugar Factory near Tracy, at a cost of $10,511.42, including surveys and removal of obstructions, all for maintenance. Total expenditures were $8,759.95. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 32 percent complete, the work remaining to be done being completion of the RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2363 project channels up to and at Orwood; in Fabian-Bell Canal, in Grant Line Canal, from Grant Line Canal to the head of Old River in San Joaquin River, and in the original channel of Old River from Grant Line Canal up to the Lammers Ferry Road, when the remaining requirements for local cooperation, including rights-of-way, spoil areas, and public lands, have been fulfilled. The controlling depths at the end of the fiscal year were as 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 $137,442.23, of which $23,184.86 was for new work and $114,257.37 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $135,424.26. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, of new work funds, amounting to $25,000, will be applied to resuming 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 1948. The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $33,275.74 of maintenance funds, will be applied to payment of accounts payable, $2,017.97, 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 1947. The additional sum of $35,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949, for maintenance dredging in channels of the Old River system, including cuts, canals, and sloughs, to restore project dimensions by clamshell dredging plant under contract for its hire and operation, July to December 1948.

BIG DRY CREEK RESERVOIR AND DIVERSION, CALIFORNIA Location.-The streams comprising the Fresno County group are Big Dry Creek, Dog Creek, Redbank Creek, and Fancher Creek. All of them rise in the Sierra Nevada, near the foothills, from 17 to 31 miles northeasterly from Fresno, Calif., and follow nearly parallel courses in a southwesterly direction toward Clovis and Fresno. Por- tions of the channels of these creeks, after entering the valley floor, serve as part of large and complicated systems of irrigation canals. The creeks eventually empty directly into the San Joaquin River, or indirectly through Murphy Slough, at various points northwesterly and southwesterly of Fresno, Calif. (See U. S. Geological Survey quadrangles of the area.) Existing project.-This provides for construction of a detention res- ervoir, with a storage capacity of 20,200 acre-feet, on Big Dry Creek about 10 miles northeast of Fresno; for diverting the floodwaters 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 improve- ments 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 dam- ages. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941. (See H. Doc. 845, 76th Cong., 3d sess., which con- tains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Localinterests are required to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will provide with- out cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project, hold and save the United FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2367 States free from claims for damages due to construction and mainte- nance of the project, bear the expense of bridge construction, and maintain and operate all the works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945, approved by the Governor of that State on July 19, 1945, provides for these assurances which have been furnished to and accepted by the Secretary of the Army. Satis- factory rights-of-way have been furnished for a major portion of the work, and the remainder are being obtained by the State of California. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work was begun on con- struction of the project on April 15, 1947. To the end of the fiscal year 525,850 cubic yards have been excavated, and 350,000 cubic yards placed in embankment for Big Dry Creek Dam. The contract is 20 percent complete. Construction has been completed on 8,000 linear feet of earth dykes and embankments, and is in progress on 3,400 linear feet. Construction is in progress on two of the three project concrete outlet structures. Total cost during the year was $234,208.54, and total expenditures were $187,194.52 for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year..-Contract plans and specifications have been completed. Procurement of rights-of-way by the State of California is under way. Satisfactory rights-of-way have been fur- nished for a major portion of the work, and their sufficiency has been established by the division engineer. Approval of assurances has been given by the Secretary of the Army. Construction was started in April 1947. Total cost to date is $302,975.30, and total expenditures are $255,312.58, for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $254,687.42, and an allotment of $771,000 made in August 1947, will be applied to payment of accounts payable, $47,662.72, and to new work during the fiscal year 1948, as follows: Completion 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, with necessary outlets, $978,024.70, July 1947 through June 1948. No additional sums can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949, as the project will be completed in the fiscal year 1948, and is to be maintained by local interests.

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 4swales. 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 (revised in 1946) of $9,545,000 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 on Bear Creek, at an estimated first cost to the United States (revised in 1946) of $496,000. FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2369 The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of De- cember 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 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 reservoirs when used. The State of California officially has adopted the project. The State of California or other responsible local agencies must give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army 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 the Army. 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The cost during the year was $39,837.85 for new work, in continuing the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications for the enlargement of Hogan Reservoir, and in consideration of alternative damsites. Total expenditures were $52,703.24. The cost during the year was $27,454.13 for similar activities leading to the construction of Farmington Reser- voir on Littlejohn Creek and for the Bear Creek Channel improvement. Total expenditures were $26,847.02. Total cost of the project during the year was $67,291.98, and total expenditures were $79,550.26. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction work on this project has not been, started. The total cost to date is $114,325.36 for new work. The expenditures were $109,918.90. Proposed operations.-The balances unexpended on June 30, 1947, amounting to $16,010.53, for Hogan Reservoir, and $46,070.57 for Farmington Reservoir, and the Bear Creek Channel improvement, and an allotment of $40,000 for Farmington Reservoir made in August 1947, will be applied during the fiscal year to payment of accounts payable, $4,406.46, and for new work in preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications for these reservoirs and channels, $97,674.64, July 1947 through June 1948.

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 tribuatries, Little Deadmans, Big Deadmans, and Dutchmans Creek. The latter group crosses an undeveloped area of low grade pasture land. The remaider 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. FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2371 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 deten- tion reservoir of 6,000 acre-feet capacity on Burns Creek (c), a de- tention 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. 473, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Constructionof the project is subject to the conditions that the State of California or other responsible local agencies give assurances satisfactory to the Secreary of the Army that they will (a) provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements and rights-of-way necessary for the construction; (b) bear the expense of all necessary highway and utilility 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 channel in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The cost during the year was $19,009.29, for new work, in continuing the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications for construction.

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 VistaLake. River flows at this point are either diverted into the Buena Vista Lake Basin for temporary storage or are carried northwest along the trough of the valley toward Tulare Lake Basin by improved flood and irriga- tion channels. Under normal conditions of run-off the flow of Kern FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2373 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. Existing 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. Doec. 513, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.--Payment,as determined by the Secretary of the Army upon the basis of continuing studies by the Bureau of Reclama- tion, the Department of the Army, 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 offi- cially adopted the project. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The cost of work during the year was $69,935.02, and the expenditures were $71,582.92 for new work, for continuing the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications for construction of Isabella Dam and Reservoir. 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 $251,871.12 for new work. The expenditures were $244,381.97. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1947, amounting to $63,618.03, and an allotment of $1,050,000 made in August 1947, will be applied to payment of accounts payable, $7,489.15, and to new work, completion of detailed plans and of contract plans and specifications, and for initiating construction by contract of the dam and reservoir, $1,106,128.88 July 1947 through June 1948. The additional sum of $3,000,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for new work in continuation of construction of the dam by contract, July 1948 through June 1949.

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, anarea 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 1947) of $36,367,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of De- cember 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 630, 76th Cong., 3d sess., which con- tains the latest published map.) FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2375 Local cooperation.-Payment, as determined by the Secretary of the Army upon the basis of continuing studies by the Bureau of Reclamation, the Department of the Army, and local organizations, is to be made to the United States by the State or other responsible agency for the conservation storage when used. Local interests have indicated they will meet these requirements. The State of California has officially adopted the project. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The cost of work during the year was $431,763.14, and the expenditures were $397,715.66 for new work in continuing the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications, and in initiating construction on the project. Work was begun April 26, 1947, on excavation for the left abutment at Pine Flat Dam, and construction of an access road; 17 acres were cleared of brush on the access road and 5 acres were cleared in the abutment area and 19,250 cubic yards of material excavated therein.; also 54,000 cubic yards were excavated for access roads. Work under these contracts is 43 percent complete; estimated to be completed Sep- tember 22, 1947. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionhas been initiated on this project. The total cost to date is $618,491.45, and the expenditures are $551,390.40, for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1947, amounting to $898,609.60, and an allotment of $1,550,000 made in Au- gust 1947, will be applied to payment of accounts payable, $67,101.05, and to new work in completion of excavation for left abutment and of road relocations, of relocation of utilities outside of the reservoir pe- rimeter, and in stripping the right abutment and construction of a detour road around the right abutment, $2,381,508.55, all by contract, July 1947 through June 1948. The additional sum of $7,000,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for new work in initiating construction of the main dam, under a continuing contract, July 1948 through June 1949.

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 Folsom in Sacramento County, Calif., and about 1 mile below the confluence of the north and south forks of this stream. The proposed reservoir would extend from the damsite up the main river to this confluence and about 7 miles further upstream in each of the two forks. The American River system originates on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, and the main river flows into the Sacramento River at the City of Sacramento. The lower portion of the American River, 25 miles below Folsom, is in the Sacramento Valley. The drainage area of the river system contains 2,115 square miles, of which 1,875 square miles are above the proposed damsite. Existing project.-This provides for the initial construction of a dam to a height of 265 feet above bottom of stripping with gross storage of 600,000 acre-feet, at an estimated cost (revised in 1947) of $37,765,000, with facilities for future power generation. The ultimate plans provide for enlarging the dam to a height of 354 feet with a gross storage of 1,000,000 acre-feet, at a total estimated cost (revised in 1947) of $48,329,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 649, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Nonerequired, except payment for conservation costs. The State of California has officially adopted the project. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The cost of work during the year was $103,724.76, and the expenditures were $113,685 for new work, in continuing the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications.

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 Committee Doc. 1, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Payment,as determined by the Secretary of the Army upon the basis of continuing studies by the Bureau of Reclama- tion, the Department of the Army, 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 duringfiscal year.-(a) Terminus Reservoir on Kaweah River: The cost of work during the year was $63,976.11 and the expenditures were $72,174.86 for new work, for initiation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications. (b) Success Reservoir: The cost of work during the year was $78,- 452.14 and the expenditures were $88,975.98 for new work, for con- tinuing 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 other streams tributary to Tulare Lake Basin, which together constitute the south 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 the 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 slougis 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 Moke- lumne Rivers, principal tributaries of the San Joaquin River, likewise have their sources in the Sierra Nevada, and flow in a generally west- erly 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 $10,760,00 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 FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2381 Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. R. Flood Control Com- mittee Doc. 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 the Army upon the basis of continuing studies by the Bureau of Reclamation, the Department of the Army, 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 re- quirements. The State of California has officially adopted the project. (b) In Tuolumne Basin: Local interests are to construct, maintain, and operate the dams and reservoir, allocate storage for flood control and agree to operate such storage in accordance with rules and regu- lations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. (c) San Joaquin River,: Local interests are to (1) furnish flowage rights to overflow cer- tain lands along the main San Joaquin River and all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction of levees; (2) hold and save the United States free from damages due'to the construction works in the San Joaquin River and tributary channels, and their subsequent maintenance and operation; and (3) maintain all levees and channel improvements after completion in accordance with regu- lations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945, approved by the Governor of that State on July 19, 1945, provides for the meeting of the latter requirements as to levee and channel improvement work. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-(a) New Melones Reser- voir, Stanislaus River: The cost of work during the year was $41,706.69 and the expenditures were $45,635.16 for new work, in continuing the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications for construction of New Melones Dam and Reservoir. (b) New Don Pedro Reservoir, Tuolumne PRiver: Tentative plans and specifications have been prepared by 'local interests for the New Don Pedro Reservoir, and for other suitable reservoirs in the Tuo- lumne River Basin (for interim flood-control operation until New Don Pedro Reservoir is constructed) which are to be constructed by local interests, with Federal cooperation in the preparation of plans, and Federal contribution toward construction, tentatively estimated at $6,200,000. The cost of this work during the year was $1,590.37, and the expenditures were $1,183.73. Total project costs during the year were $43,297.06, and expenditures were $46,818.89. (c) Construction of channel improvement works and levee con- struction, on San Joaquin River and tributaries: No funds were avail- able and no work was done. The total cost of project work during the year was $43,297.06, and total expenditures were $46,818.89. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Plans are in preparation.

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 bypasses; 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. 2762.) The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944 (H. Doc. 649, 78th Cong. 2d sess.) which authorized to be appropriated for the initiation of the project the sum of $15,000,000. The estimated Federal cost (revised in 1947) of the four principal features is as follows: main levees, $11,705,000; minor stream levees, $6,601,000; Black Butte dam, $8,587,000; Table Mountain (low-level) dam and power plant, $49,210,000, a total first cost for the entire project of $76,103,000.

REDMOND AND VICINITY, SEVIER RIVER, UTAH Location.-Sevier River drains an area of about 11,100 square miles of the Great Basin in southwestern Utah. It rises in the mountains of southern Utah, flows northerly about 240 miles, thence southwesterly 85 miles and empties into Sevier Lake, which has no outlet. Redmond is on the west bank of the river 155 miles above its mouth. San Pitch River enters Sevier River from the east 12 miles below Redmond. The section of Sevier River Valley in this project extends from the crossing of United States Highway 89, near Salina, about 3 miles above Red- mond, downstream to the head of Sevier Bridge Reservoir, a total dis- stance of 25 miles. The drainage area above Redmond is 3,820 square miles. Upstream from the section under consideration the basin con- sists 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. Existing project.-This provides for the improvement of Sevier River in- the vicinity of Redmond, Utah, by construction of a leveed channel commencing near Salina and extending about 50,000 feet downstream, of a levee extending from the Westview diversion dam at its proposed relocated site to Redmond Lake Dam, and of two diversion dams, at an estimated cost to the United States from Federal funds of $733,000 for construction. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 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 the Army 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 2386 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 the Army. 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 $10,638.21, and the expenditures were $10,864.90, for new work, in continuing 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 is $11,172.12 and expenditures are $11,392.61, for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1947, amounting to $13,607.39, and an allotment of $583,000 made in August 1947, will be applied to payment of accounts payable, $6.40, and new work in completion of contract plans and specifications and in continu- ation by contract, of construction of the project features, including levees, channel work and two diversion dams, $596,600.99, July 1947 through June 1948.

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 and piers within the limits of the improvements would be required. The project will provide substantial flood protection 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. 518, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest map.) The estimated cost (revised in 1947) is $191,000, of which $146,000 is Federal cost and $45,000 the cost to local interests. Local cooperation.-See page 7 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-No work has been done.

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 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. 562, 79th Cong,, 2d sess., which contains the latest map.) The esti- mated cost (revised in 1947) is $1,002,000, of which $718,000 is Federal cost and $284,000 is cost to local interests. Local cooperation.-Seepage 7.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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done. Proposed operations.-None proposed for fiscal year 1948. The aditional sum of $35,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for new work, in preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications, July 1948 through June 1949.

FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2389 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 upon 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. 562, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest map). The estimated Fed- eral cost is $314,000, and the cost to local interests $18,000 (both re- vised in 1947). Local cooperation.-See page 7 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.--Noneproposed for fiscal years 1948 and 1949.

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.) Previousprojects.-No formal project for the improvement of Snake River was adopted by Congress prior to the act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1991 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1849 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.--This provides for the construction of such dams as are necessary and open channel improvement for purposes of pro- viding slack water navigation and irrigation between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston, Idaho. The pool formed by McNary Dam will provide slack water from the mouth of Snake River to mile 10.2. The project also provides for removal of boulders and rock points and the construction of contraction works between Lewiston and Johnsons bar. No channel dimensions are specified above Lewis- ton. A system of four dams between the mouth of Snake River and RIVERS AND HARBORS---PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2399 Lewiston has been approved. The location and estimated total cost of these proposed dams, based on 1946 prices to include the installation of 19 power units but not interest during construction, together with previously authorized open river improvement work, are as follows: Dam 1, Ice Harbor, river mile 10.2----------------------_ --- $87, 414, 000 Dam 2, Lower Monumental, river mile 44.7 ------------- __ 79, 868, 000 Dam 3, Little Goose, river mile 72.2------------------------- 81, 130, 000 Dam 4, Lower Granite, river mile 113.1----------------____ 82, 171, 000 Originally authorized open river improvement work between the mouth of Snake River and Johnsons bar-- -------------------- _ 823, 000 Total----------------------------------- 331, 406, 000 The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance of the originally authorized channel is $10,500. The estimated:annual cost of operation and care of the four locks and dams is $1,758,000. 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 Lewiston H.

Mar. 2,1945 Construction of such dams as are necessary and H. Doe. 704, 75th Cong., 3d sess. open channel improvement for purposes of provid- ing slack water navigation and irrigation. Local cooperation.-No conditions were imposed by law. The Washington State Legislature in 1907 provided $85,000, which was expended by the Federal Government between Riparia, Wash., and the mouth, for general open-river work in accordance with the adopted project. Terminal facilities.-Fromthe mouth of Snake River to Riparia, 67 miles, there are no wharves or warehouses on the river banks. From Riparia to Lewiston, Idaho, 73 miles, there are no wharves, but there are public and privately owned warehouses and grain elevators. These are located at Penawawa mile 91.5, Lewiston mile 140, Asotin mile 146, and between Asotin and 11 miles above. On the left bank between Riparia and Lewiston there are several wheat warehouses formerly used for storage of wheat to be transferred to the railroad on the right bank. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work: Surveys, ex- plorations, and field investigations were continued during the year.. A site selection report containing studies of four- five-, and six-dam plans, but recommending the adoption of the four-cam plan for provid- ing slack water between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston, was completed. The four-dam plan, which was adopted, provides for con- struction of dam 1 "Ice Harbor" at river mile 10.2, dam 2 "Lower Monu- mental" at river mile 44.7, dam 3 "Little Goose" at river mile 72.2, and dam 4 "Lower Granite" at river mile 113.1. Work was initiated on the preparation of plans and specifications for dam 1 "Ice Harbor." 2400 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Maintenance: Government plant was assembled for dredging the channel between Lewiston and Johnsons bar, Idaho. Total costs for the fiscal year were $196,287.11, of which $196,130.82 was for new work and $156.29 for maintenance. Expenditures were $241,245.80. 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, estimated to cost $823,000 is approximately 34 percent completed. At this time no further work is contemplated under this channel improve- ment' authorization. The construction of the authorized dams between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston will obviate the necessity for further open river improvement work under the original authorization, except for that stretch of the river between Lewiston and Johnsons bar. Locations for the four dams have been approved, hydrographic sur- veys for dam 1 "Ice Harbor" are completed, and work on plans and specifications has been initiated. No construction work has been done on the work authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2,1945. The controlling depth of the existing channel is less than 1 foot between the mouth and Lewiston (140 miles) and about 2.7 feet between Lewiston and Johnsons 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 chan- nels through rapids, commercial navigation has been limited to periods when river stages are above 3 feet as shown on the Lewiston gage, which permits the operation of boats having a draft of 4 feet. At the present time no commercial vessels are operated on Snake River below Lewis- ton. The river is above this 3-foot stage about 54 percent of the time. The channels above Lewiston are from 30 to 100 feet wide at low water, and high-powered launches operate most of the year between Lewis- ton and Johnsons bar. Total costs from Federal funds under the existing project have been $934,357.77, of which $744,563.51 was for new work and $189,794.26 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $981,636.01. In addition $85,000 has been expended on new work from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, includ- ing accounts receivable, amounting to $347,690.73 plus an allotment of $200,000 made during September 1947, a total of $547,690.73 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable _____________________________ ________ $1, 057. 36 New work: Preparation of definite project report on flowage (Dams 1 and 2) _______________________ $120, 000. 00 Hydraulic model studies_ --------------- _ 105, 000. 00 Foundation explorations_-------------_____ 140, 000. 00 Preparation of plans and specifications_ ____ 176, 789. 66 Total new work____________________________________ 541, 789. 66 Maintenance: Removal of boulders and other obstructions from the channel between Lewiston and Johnsons bar_ __ _ -_ __ _ 4, 843. 71 Total all work------- ... --------- - 547, 690. 73 RIVERS AND HARBORS---PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2401 The additional sum of $495,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 as follows: New work: Advance plannin g , ----------------- $490, 000 Maintenance: Removal of sand, gravel, and boulders by Government plant and hired labor_----_ .___------- - --- --------- 5, 000 Total-------------------------------------- -------- 495, 000 Cast and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947------------------- ------ $897, 973. 77 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947__- .------------ --- 204, 884. 00 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947 .....---------. 1 1, 102, 857. 77 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1947---------------------- 48, 335. 60 Gross total costs to June 30, 1947-------------------- 1, 151, 193. 37 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1947 ---------------------- 1, 057. 36 Net total expenditures ---------------------------- 1, 150, 136. 01 Unexpended balance June 30, 1947_-----. ---- __ .-------- 299, 355. 13 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947_-----------1 1, 449, 491. 14 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 C os t of n ew w ork ... . . _. _. . . .. _ v. . . . . . . . . .-- - -- $4 , 04 4 . 4 5 $263 , 0 3 5 .07 $1 96 , 13 0 . 82 Cost of maintenance.............. $14,007.83 ..---- __ ___-----------------_---------- 156. 29 Total cost-----.--------- 14, 007. 83 ------------_ 4, 044. 45 263, 035. 07 196, 287. 11 Total expended_ _--------..... 16, 865. 30 _-------..---...-.---- 269, 399. 07 241, 245. 80 Allotted --....................... -40, 000. 00 -$4, 174.32 5,000. 00 800, 000. 00 5, 000. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1946--------------------------- $535, 600. 93 Amount allotted during fiscal year_-____--_ _____----- 5, 000. 00 Amount to be accounted for .. . ----.. . 540, 600. 93 Gross amount expended--------------------- $241, 309. 80 Less reimbursed expenditures ------------------- 64. 00 241, 245. 80 Balance unexpended June 30, 1947 _______ .. 299, 355. 13 'Outstanding liabilities, June 30, 1947------------ $1,057. 36 Amount covered by uncompleted contracts-------- 4. 117. 36 5, 174. 72 Balance available June 30, 1947_-------------------- 294, 180. 41 Accounts receivable June 30, 1947 _-------------- - -- -48, 335. 60 Unobligated balance available June 30, 1947 ------------ 342, 516. 01 Amount allotted in September 1947- ----------------- __ _ - 200, 000. 00 Unobligated balance available for fiscal year 1948----- ....-- 542, 516. 01 Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for completion of existing project 2 ____________________________________ 330, 119, 647. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1949: For new work 2 _______-____________________________ - 490, 000. 00 For maintenance 2 _--- -. - - _-_____ -_ 5, 000. 00 Total-------------------------------------------- 495, 000. 00 :In addition, $85,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work. 9 Exclusive of available funds. 2402 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 2. 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 2455. (See U. S. Geological Survey map of Washington.) Previout project.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 10, 1872, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907. For further details, see page 1992 of Annual Report for 1915; page 1889 Annual Report for 1931; and page 1845, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 7 feet deep and 150 feet wide at low water from Celilo Falls to Wallula, with no specified depth or width between Wallula and the mouth of the Snake River; 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 341/ feet at Umatilla. Freshets due to rains sometimes occur in the early winter, but rarely exceed a 9-foot stage. Ice conditions, usually occurring in January or February, sometimes suspend navigation for 2 weeks or more. The Umatilla Dam authorized by River and Harbor Act 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 1 Apr. 8, 1935 Emergency Relief Appropriation Act; authorized the Rivers and Harbors Committee existing project as an emergepcy relief project.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides that for each of the Arlington and channels local interests give assurance that they will construct a suit- 'Kennewick able freight terminal, open to all on equal terms, and for the Kenne- wick channel that they furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, "OREG., DISTRICT 2403 the improvements and their subsequent maintenance, when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvements. Terminal facilities.-There i 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 capa- city, with rail, truck, and water connections, is located adjacent to the wharf at Pasco. Other facilities for handling bulk grain from truckto river craft, but without rail connections, are as follows: Two private warehouses at Port Kelly (mile 110.6 above Celilo) with capacities of 40,000 and 44,000 bushels; a 340,000-bushel elevator at Umatilla (mile 88 above Celilo), and a 40,000-bushel elevator at Bla- lock (mile 32 above Celilo). There are privately owned storage facilities for handling petroleum products with capacities and loca- tions 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), 14,005,825 gallons of which 7,705,825 gallons capacity has rail connec- tions, and 6,300,000 gallons capacity with truck and water connections only. 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 conditions permit. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Drilling and blasting of rock and boulders at mile 87.7 was started on April 1, 1947, and temporarily suspended, due to high water, on April 17, 1947. A hydrographic survey of the proposed Arlington channel by sweep- ing, probing, and sounding was completed. Maintenance: Removal of gravel and boulders at locations in the existing channel where surveys indicated shoaling was done by Gov- ernment plant and hired labor. Total costs for the fiscal year were $65,195.34, of which $17,170.18 was for new work and $48,025.16 for maintenance. Expenditures were $72,443.95. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is approxi- mately 85 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 channel 75 feet wide and 5 feet in a channel 150 feet wide. The controlling depth between the foot of Umatilla Rapids and Wallula is 6 feet in a channel 100 feet wide through Umatilla Rapids. Between Wallula and the mouth of Snake River the controlling depth is 5 feet for a width of 100 feet through Homly Rapids. Below Umatilla the channel in 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, channel rectification at Indian, Squally Hook, and Owykee Rapids and the construction of Arlington channel and. Kennewick 2404 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 channel. Hydrographic surveys for dredging the Arlington channel have been completed. No work has been done on the Kennewick channel. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $1,796,370.18, of which $1,240,254.61 including $400,000 Emer- gency Relief funds was for new work and $556,115.57 for maintenance.

COLUMBIA RIVER, OREG. AND WASH., UMATILLA (McNARY) DAM Location.-The site of this project is on the Columbia River, 290 miles above the mouth, near Umatilla, Oreg., and 3 miles above the mouth of the Umatilla River. Existing project.-This project includes a dam, power plant, navi- gation lock, and appurtenant facilities for purposes of navigation, power development, and incidental irrigation. The proposed im- provement 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, which will raise the normal water surface approximately 85 feet to elevation 340 mean sea level, will be approximately 7,600 feet long and will consist of an earth dam at the Oregon (south) abutment, a powerhouse, a spillway dam, a navigation lock, and an earth dam at the Washington (north) abut- ment. Suitable facilities for migrating fish, including fish ladders, will be provided. The powerhouse installation will comprise 14 units of 70,000 kilo- watts each, making a total installed capacity of 980,000 kilowatts. The spillway dam will be 1,310 feet long and will be located in the north channel of the river. The overflow crest at 291 feet above sea level will be surmounted by 22 spillway gates capable of releasing the design flood of 2,200,000 cubic feet per second. The deck will be at elevation 361 and will provide a service roadway and tracks for the operation of two gantry cranes. A public highway crossing over the dam has been requested by the Public Roads Administration and is under consideration. The navigation lock will be a single lift type and will operate at all flows less than 800,000 cubic feet per second. The pool created by the spillway dam will provide a navigable chan- nel with depths of 12 feet and over, between McNary Dam and the con- fluence of the Yakima River, a distance of approximately 43 miles. A controlling depth of 9 feet will be provided on Snake River from its mouth to a point approximately 10.2 miles above. All structures will be founded on a massive basalt flow that reaches 2406 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 a maximum thickness of 130 feet and directly overlies a sedimentary interbed. The principal data concerning the navigation lock and spill- way dam are shown in the following table: Navigation lock Type---------------------------------- Single lift. Dimensions: Net clear width of chamber _ - 86 feet. Net clear length---------------------- 675 feet. Lift (vertical) : At extreme low water and normal pool 92 feet.

The estimated cost of the dam, navigation lock, 14-power unit gen- erating installation, fishways, and attendant buildings and grounds, revised in 1947, is $227,028,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945. (See H. Doc. 704, 75th Cong., 3d sess.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-The first contract for construction of the project was awarded on April 11, 1947, for excava- tion for the navigation lock and downstream approach channel and for construction of a highway overpass, roads, and grading of railroad siding. Construction under this contract started on May 5, 1947. Prior to the initiation of work under this contract, work was started on the development of housing areas on both the Oregon and Washington shores. Construction of access roads, railroad spur tracks, and a siding was underway. Work was advertised and bids received for the construction of utilities for the housing area, including water sups ply and sanitary sewer system with sewage treatment plant. Con- tracts were awarded for dismantling of buildings at Pendleton Air Base, and their reerection at the dam site.

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 Au- gust 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: RIVERS AND HARBORS---PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2409 Detailed information of locks Dimensions Lift Avail- Miles Great- able When from est depth corn- Cost lower Lock Foundation len oCost coth en- ah Clear Low High oe pleted trance able able for width for water water sill 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-....... 65 .....do...----....----. 45 10 15 8. 7 1915 246, 700 5. 2 Tenmile lock 2--_____ _ do------- 265 50 ---. 6 7.8 1915 149, 600 8. 1 Celilo lock a___.............do..... 265 45 6 7. 9 1915 103, 200 1 Originally constructed tandem locks converted to single lift lock in 1941. 2 Not used at low water. There are no dams in the canal. The lower end of the canal is about 4 miles and the lower end of the Threemile Rapids about 11/2 miles above The Dalles, Oreg. 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. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905 (Annual Report, 1904, p. 3475). Operation and care of the canal were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act ap- proved June 26, 1934. For latest published map see Annual Report for 1915, page 3380. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are two warehouses fronting on The Dalles-Celilo Canal, near the lower end, owned by private interests, with a combined capacity of 15,000 tons of wheat. The facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operationsand results dwring fiscal year.-The canal and locks were in continuous operation throughout the year. In addition to ordinary maintenance and repairs, work was continued on the reconstruction of a power line from Celilo to Ten Mile lock, installation of fire pro- tection pipe lines at Five Mile lock, and electrification of bridges across the canal. Work of widening the entrance to Big Eddy lock. started on April 17, 1947, was suspended due to high water after 1,700 cubic yards of rock and concrete were removed. The dredge Depoe Bay removed a total of 6,538 cubic yards of material from the canal and boat basin. Total costs during the fiscal year were $89,792.65. Expenditures were $91,645.35, all for maintenance (operation and care). 2410 REPOT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Condition at end of fiscal year.--The canal and locks were com- pleted in 1919,. - The originally constructed tandem locks were con- verted into a single lift lock in 1941. The total available dimensions of the canal and locks are required by existing navigation. Local interests have requested enlargement and modernization of the exist- ing facilities. Total costs under the existing project have been $5,827,713.58, of which $4,669,092.33 was for new work, $5,445.17 for maintenance, and $1,153,176.08 for operation and care. Total expenditures have been $5,831,664.05. In addition, the sum of $525,267.16 was expended between May 5, 1915, and June 30, 1935, on operation and care of the work of improvement, under provisions of the perman'ent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposedoperations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, includ- ing accounts receivable amounting to $15,616.19 plus an allotment of $110,000, a total of $125,616.19, will be applied to maintenance (opera- tion and care) as follows: Accounts payable ------------------------------------------ $132. 18 Operations----- ------------------------ ----------- 60, 000. 00 Ordinary maintenance and repairs------------------------_ 20,000. 00 Channel work------- ---- ---------- - - - 9,984. 01 Improvement and reconstruction----------------------___ 35, 500.00 Total--------------------- 125, 616. 19 The additional sum of $125,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance (operation and care) as follows: Operations------------------------------------------------ $60, 000 Ordinary maintenance and repairs--------------- 20, 000 Improvement and reconstruction-- ------------------------------ 35, 500 Channel work--- ------- --------- 10, 000 Total ------ -------------------------------------- 125, 500 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947_-- ---- $4, 716, 205. 16 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947_----------------_ 1,683, 888. 41 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947-------__ 6,400, 093. 57 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1047_-- - - 4, 082. 65 Gross total costs to June 30, 1947---------------_ 6, 404, 176. 22 Minus accounts payable June 30, 1947_ 132. 18 Net total expenditures-------------------------- 6,404, 044. 04 Unexpended balance June 30, 1947-------------------- 11, 533. 54 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947 - -- 6, 415, 577. 58 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 Cost of new work_ -- --------------- Cost of maintenance ---.-------- .- $167, 970.19 $ 1,i147.53 . .$81,332.800 .$94,584.47 ' $89,-792.65 Total expended ...---------------- 161, 549. 49 95, 320. 92 81, 431, 19 101, 173. 83 91, 645. 35 Allotted --------------- 95, 000. 00 2,000. 00 128, 200.00 130, 000. 00 11, 000. 00 RAVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2411 :Balance unexpended July 1, 1946----_, __ -_______--- $92, 178. 89 Amount allotted during fiscal year --------------------------- 11, 000. 00 Amount to be accounted for -------------------------- 103, 178. 89 Gross amount expended_________________________ $94, 544. 18 Less reimbursed expenditures --- 2, 898. 83 91, 645. 35 Balance unexpended June 30, 1947 --------------------- 11, 533. 54 Outstanding liabilities, June 30, 1947------------- 132. 18 Amount covered by uncompleted contracts -------- 248. 10 380. 28 Balance available June 30, 1947___________________ 11, 153. 26 Accounts receivable June 30, 1947_---------------- _ 4, 082. 65 Unobligated balance available June 30, 1947--------__ 15, 235. 91 Amount allotted in August 1947_________________________ 110, 000. 00 Unobligated balance available for fiscal year 1948-...... 125, 235. 91 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, for maintenance _____ ________ 125, 500.00 1 Exclusive of available funds. 5. COLUMBIA RIVER AT BONNEVILLE, OREG. Location.-On the Columbia River, 42 miles east of Portland, Oreg., about 144 miles above the mouth of the river. For description of the Columbia River see page 2455. 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 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 Bonne- ville and Big Eddy, a distance of 47 miles. 766707-48--pt. 1, vol. 2- 68 2412 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 descrip- tion of Columbia River, see page 2455. 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 turning 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 con- necting 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 Har- bor, Oreg., to provide a breakwater and shear boom protected basin approximately 400 by 800 feet in size with depth of 8 feet below a pool elevation of 72.5 feet mean sea level. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2421 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 21/2 feet and at Bonneville about 0.2 foot at low stages of the river. Extreme tidal ranges are about 3 feet and ,0.4 foot respectively. Annual freshets average about 21 feet at Van- couver, while the highest known stage reached 33 feet above low water. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $5,507,000. 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: Act Work authorized Documents Aug. 26, 1937 Construction of a channel 27 feet deep by 300 feet wide House Committee Doc. 94, 74th from Vancouver, Wash., to Bonneville, Oreg.

Do-..... Construction of The Dalles Harbor 8 feet deep, 400 S. Doc. 89, 79th Cong. 1 feet wide, by 800 feet long. 1 Contains latest published maps. 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 suit- able freight terminal, open to all on equal terms, and bear additional cost of disposing of dredged material behind bulkheads provided by :them; and provides that no dredging will be performed by the United .States within 50 feet of the proposed dock. 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 main- tain depths in the basins, and to construct, operate, and maintain neces- sary 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, ease- ments, 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 con- struct, 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. At Vancouver, Wash., there are two municipal wharves, also privately owned wharves for shipment of lumber and other commodities and a privately owned 2422 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 grain elevator and wharf. The port of Camas-Washougal has con- structed a wharf 528 feet in length at Washougal, Wash., which will be available for ocean vessels when an adequate entrance channel is provided. At the port of The Dalles (mile 44 above Bonneville) there is a mu- nicipal 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 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 gal- lons located near this terminal for handling petroleum products from ocean vessels and river boats. Storage tanks have rail and truck con- nections. A private elevator with a capacity of 40,000 bushels and a public elevator of 868,000 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 con- nection 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 facili- ties are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Thee blast- ing and removing of rock reef at mile 10 was 60 percent completed. Maintenance: Hydrographic surveys were made by Government plant and hired labor. Total costs for the fiscal year were $36,786.85, of which $33,550.90 was for new work and $3,235.95 for maintenance. Expenditures were $35,733.92. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is approxi- mately 64 percent complete. The main channel between Vancouver and Bonneville, 27 feet deep and 300 feet wide, was completed in 1942 except for removal of material at miles 10 and 16. The work of re- moval of material at these two locations is under contract and will be completed during the fiscal year 1948. No construction work has been done on the project modification authorized by the River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1945, and July 24, 1946. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of completing the main channel between Vancouver, Wash., and Bonne- ville, Oreg., constructing channel between Bonneville and The Dalles, a channel at the upper entrance to Oregon slough, a turning basin in the vicinity of Camas-Washougal, improvement of the lower en- trance to the Bonneville ship canal, a boat basin at Hood River, Oreg., a barge and an access channel at Bingen, Wash., and a small-boat harbor at The Dalles, Oreg. The controlling depth at low water in the channel between Van- couver, Wash., and Bonneville, Oreg., is about 12 feet. Between Bonneville and The Dalles a depth of 30 feet is available for barge traffic. Total costs have been $3,053,184.77, of which $2,749,728.53 was for new work and $303,456.24 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $3,053,592.90.

WILLAMETTE RIVER, ABOVE PORTLAND, AND YAMHILL RIVER, OREG. Location.-The Willamette River rises in the Cascade Range in southwestern Oregon, flows northerly, and empties into the Colum- bia River about 100 miles from the sea. Its length from the source of the middle' fork is about 294 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geo- detic Survey Chart No. 6155 and the U. S. Geological Survey map, State of Oregon.) The Yamhill River rises in the Coast Range, flows easterly, and empties into the Willamette River about 42 miles above Portland. Its length from the source of the south fork is about 52 miles. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2425 Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1871, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1997 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1754 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for improvement of Willamette River between Portland (14 miles above the mouth) and Oregon City (26 miles above the mouth) by a channel 8 feet deep at low water, 200 feet wide below Cedar Island and 150 feet wide thence to Oregon City; for such channel improvement and contraction works as may be necessary to secure, with stream flow regulation, controlling depths of 6 feet at low water from Oregon City to the mouth of Santiam River (108.5 miles above the mouth), and 5 feet from that point to Albany (120 miles above the mouth); for a channel 2.5 to 3.5 feet deep at low water and of no prescribed width from Albany to Corvallis (132 miles above the mouth) ; and for necessary snagging between Corvallis and Harrisburg (163 miles above the mouth). The project also provides for a channel in the Yamhill River 4 feet deep at low water and 60 feet wide from its mouth to McMinnville (18 miles) to be secured by means of a lock and dam near Lafayette and the removal of obstructions. The section of Willamette River in the vicinity of Willamette Falls at Oregon City is covered by a project described on page 2429 of this report. The following table shows the principal features of the lock and dam in Yamhill River: Location-----_-------------------1% miles below Lafayette, Oreg., 8 miles above the mouth. Usable lock dimensions--_--.------ - 1 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_--------------- -Sept. 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 22 feet at the mouth of the Willamette to zero 26 miles above the mouth. The approved estimate (1946) of cost for new work 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 concerning the comprehen- sive flood-control plan for Willamette River Basin see page 2499. 2426 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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.-Maintenance: Mainte- nance dredging by hired plant aid Government plant and the removal of snags by Government plant resulted in maintaining sufficient depths for the present navigation requirements. The various items of maintenance and their costs for the fiscal year were as follows: Dredging by hired plant and Government plant, 801,779 cubic yards- $321, 296. 07 Removal of snags by Government plant---------------- __ 2,844. 03 Preparation of plans for dike repairs-------------------------- 126. 29 Hydrographic surveys_ -- ------------------- 27, 021. 30 Operation and care of lock in Yamhill River: Operation-------------------------- ------------------ 6, 897. 43 Ordinary maintenance and repairs 765. 91 Total _ _------------------------------ -------- 358, 951.03 Total costs for the fiscal year were $358,951.03 for maintenance, of which $7,663.34 was for operation and care. Expenditures were $348,216.45. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is approxi- mately 61 percent complete. The 8-foot channel between Portland and Oregon City, and the 21/.- to 31/2 -foot channel between Oregon City and Albany were completed in 1939. The 2 - to 31/2 -foot chan- nel between Albany and Corvallis was completed in 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 and RIVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2427 31/2 feet from Oregon City to Corvallis. On the Yamhill River, the available depth is 4 feet from the mouth to Yamhill lock, and 2 feet from the lock to McMinnville. Traffic above Oregon City is confined to towboats, log rafts, launches, and dredges 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. The dam is in poor condition and requires reconstruction. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $4,732,735.90, of which $615,169.74 was for new work and $4,057,020.63 for maintenance and $60,545.53 for operation and care. Expenditures have been $4,706,056.90. 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 pro- visions' of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. In addition, $7,500 was expended from contributed funds for main- tenance and $484,900 from emergency flood-control funds for new work.

COLUMBIA AND LOWER WILLAMETT4IVERS 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 2455, and of Willamette River, page 2424. 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 Willamette River to Broadway RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2433 Bridge at Portland 12 miles; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide from Broadway Bridge to Ross Island, 14 miles above the mouth of Willam- ette River, to be maintained by the port of Portland; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the Columbia River from the mouth of the Willam- ette 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 Weyer- haeuser 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 provides 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 Port- land and Vancouver about 21/2 feet at low stages of the rivers. Ex- treme tidal ranges are about 13 and 3 feet, respectively. Annual freshets have but little effect on depths at the mouth of the Columbia; at Portland and Vancouver they average about 20 feet, while the highest known reached a stage of 33 feet above low water. 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 1947, is $5,361,255, 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 aux- iliary 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 (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $837,100. 2434 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides under modifications therein authorized that local interests furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, ease- ments, and 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 damages resulting from the improvements and dredge and maintain to a depth of at least 28 feet the area abutting the proposed channel opposite the wharf of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. at Longview, Wash. 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 cost all necessary lands, easements and rights-of-way for the new work and subsequent maintenance when and as required; provide all necessary mooring RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2435 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, one drydock of 8,000-ton, and two of 15,000-ton capacity; and one drydock of 14,000-ton capac- ity owned and operated by the Maritime Commission. Under private ownership, but open to the public on equal terms, are 11 general cargo, 5 grain and flour, 8 lumber, 1 cement and 9 crude-oil and gasoline terminals, besides outfitting and repair wharves. There are two heavy lifts located in the port of Portland, one of 100-ton capacity on mu- nicipal terminal 1 and one of 150-ton capacity on Wisco Dock. At Astoria, Oreg., there is a large municipal terminal with grain elevator and flour mill. There are also private wharves used for ship- ment 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 lum- ber, and a heavy lift of 100-ton capacity. The port of Longview has a public terminal on the Columbia River at Longview, Wash., and the Long-Bell Lumber Co. and Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. have wharves in the same vicinity for the shipment of lumber. There is a heavy lift of 150-ton capacity located at the port of Longview. At other small towns on the Columbia River between Portland and Astoria there are sufficient private facilities to accommodate the river steamers, and at seven points there are large sawmill docks used entirely for the shipment of lumber in ocean-going carriers. These facilities, with the planned extensions, are considered ade- quate for the present needs of commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 11, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging with Government plant and hired labor was done in all bars and chan- nels where surveys indicated shoaling. Approximate project dimen- sions were maintained throughout the year. A total of 6,469,779 cubic yards of material was removed from 25 bars at a cost of $764,379.50. Repairs to 13 dikes started during the fiscal year 1946 were completed at a cost of $48,032.90 during the fiscal year. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $84,160.84. Total costs from Federal funds for the fiscal year were $851.169.76 all for maintenance. Expenditures were $853,787.32. In addition $47,745.10 was expended from funds contributed by Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. for the removal of shoals from the channel downstream from the lower end of their mill and from the company turning basin. A total of 361,534 cubic yards of material was removed. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project, as modified by the River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946, is 88 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. 2436 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Of the 145 dikes constructed on this project 13 were repaired in 1946 and 1947 and are in good condition, 18 are in poor condition and will be repaired during the fiscal year 1948 and 12 are in fair condition and are scheduled for repair in the fiscal year 1949. 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 Columbia River from its mouth to the mouth of Willamette River was 33 feet. Above the mouth of Willamette River, the Vancouver channel had a controlling depth of 31 feet and in Willamette River a depth of 31 feet at low water was available. Project depths are maintained throughout the year 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 through the year. In Columbia River between the mouth:of Willamette and Vancouver, Wash., drafts of 26 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 Longview, the improvement of the old mouth of Cowlitz River and the construction of a small-boat basin at Astoria, Oreg.

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 Ad- ministration February 15, 1935, and by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 47, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Terminal facilities.-Near the north end of the channel 4,000 feet above the mouth and near St. Helens, Oreg., the St. Helens Pulp & Paper Co. has a wharf with 500 feet frontage. The St. Helens creosoting plant at the mouth of Scappoose Bay on Multnomah Chan- nel has a mooring place for tankers of moderate draft. Near the RIVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2439 south end of the channel the quay wharf of the B. F. Johnson Lum- ber Co., 300 feet in length, is the only terminal used for making ocean shipments. Other facilities on the channel consist of extensive log booms parallel with the banks in several places, and used for the raft- ing and teinporary 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 .in the channel for a width of 250 feet at the south end and 300 feet at the north end is 26 feet at low water. Depths in the remainder of the channel vary from 8 to 50 feet. In this stretch of the channel some snags have accumulated and should be removed for safe navigation. A draft of 23 feet is practicable at low water at each end of the channel, and in the re- mainder 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 operation8.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1948. The sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for the removal of snags and sunken logs by Government plant and hired labor October 1948.

LAKE RIVER, WASHI 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.) 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 2440 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 (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 2, Sixty- ninth Congress, first session, as modified by the report of the War De- partment dated May 10, 1930, pursuant to the Commerce Committee resolution of February 22, 1930. Terminal facilities.--There are four timber wharves on Lake River. These are at Ridgefield, 21/2 miles above the mouth of the river. Two of these wharves are open to the public and two are privately owned. The principal traffic is floated logs, which are placed in the river from a log dump connected with the railway at Felida. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed 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, but snags have accumulated and should be removed. 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 1948. The sum of $3,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for removal of snags by contract, August and September 1948.

LEWIS RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range in Washing- ton, flows westerly and southwesterly 110 miles, and empties into the Columbia River about 88 miles from its mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6153 and 6154.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1899, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 2001, An- nual Report for 1915, and page 1762, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a low-water channel 6 feet deep and 50 feet wide to the mouth of the East Fork (33/4 miles) ; 4 feet deep and 50 feet wide on the East Fork from its mouth to La Center (3 miles) ; 4 feet deep and 50 feet wide on Lewis River (North RIVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2441 Fork) from East Fork to Woodland (3 miles), to be secured by dredging and by the construction of regulating works and for clearing the channel to Ariel (16 miles above Woodland). The maximum yari- ation of water level due to tides ranges from about 3 feet at the mouth to 11/2 feet at La Center and zero at Woodland. During ordinary freshets a stage of 14 feet and, at extreme floods, a stage of about 24 feet is reached in the main river at Woodland, Wash. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1913 was $61,500 exclu- sive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Doc. 28, 62d Cong., 1st sess.). For latest pub- lished 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. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-At La Center, on the East Fork, and at Wood- land, on the North Fork, respectively, the terminals, pile and timber structures, are publicly owned and are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1927. The channel is in poor condition. Snags and sunken logs which have accumulated in the channel should be removed. The con- trolling 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 1948. The sum of $3,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for the removal of snags and sunken logs by Government plant and hired labor or by contract September 1948.

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. 2442 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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/ feet deep and 50 feet wide to Castle Rock (10 miles), and thence 21/2 feet deep at low water and not less than 40 feet wide to Toledo (18 miles), to be secured by snagging, dredging, and 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. 1167, 60th Cong., 2d sess., from the mouth to Castle Rock, and H. Doc. 404, 61st Cong., 2d sess., from Castle Rock to Toledo). For the latest published map see House Document 1167, Sixtieth Congress, second session. Recommended modifications of project.-The Chief of Engineers has recommended that the project be modified by the elimination of all work above Castle Rock (H. Doc. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities.-Above Kelso the terminal facilities are limited to two log dumps. At Kelso there are a number of small private wharves and one public landing. Between Kelso and the mouth there are two private commercial wharves. These facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Expenditures were $0.30 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1913. No surveys have been made since October 1945 but local navi- gation interests have reported that the channel at the mouth of Cowlitz River shoaled considerably during 1946 and that navigation of barge traffic is difficult. Above the railroad bridge the channel is in poor condition with a controlling depth of 1.5 feet at low water to Ostrander at mile 9. No surveys have been made above Ostrander since 1939. Total costs and expenditures have been $248,334.99 of which $32,- 907.62 was for new work and $215,427.37 for maintenance.

WESTPORT SLOUGH, OREGON 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 Shepard and Morse Lumber Co. wharf, a distance of about 3,500 feet. Low water is the plane of reference. The average tidal range during low-water conditions in the Colum- bia River is about 5 feet. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2445 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. 79, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation.-Conditionsof local cooperation, requiring local interests to provide suitable spoil-disposal areas and to dredge and maintain a channel 28 feet deep and 150 feet wide from the ferry dolphin to the upper end of the Shepard and Morse 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 Shepard and Morse Lumber Co. There is no need at present for additional terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. The channel is in good condition.

(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 varia- tion of water level due to tides or freshets is about 12 feet. During ordinary freshets a stage of 9 feet and at extreme floods a stage of 12 feet is reached in the creek at Skamokawa, Wash. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1919, was $2,400. The latest (1925) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919 (H. Doc. 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 gen- eral freight and passenger purposes, and these are considered ade- quate for the present commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1920. The channel is in fair condition. No surveys of the channel have been made since November 1943 but local interests have reported that depths of less than 4 feet are available in the channel. 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 for work during the fiscal year 1948.

(See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Ewisting project.-This provides for the removal of snags and other obstructions from the channel and overhanging trees from the banks between the mouth and the town of Grays River, 8 miles' above. The tidal range at the mouth between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme range is about 13 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1907, was $2,500. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 1, 59th Cong., 2d sess.). There is no published map. Terminal facilities.-The terminals are small wharves, privately owned, and are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1909. The channel is in fair condition but shoal with some snags and sunken logs in the channel. The controlling depth from the mouth to 6.5 miles above is about 2 feet; above that point to the town of Grays River 1.5 miles further up it is practically dry in two places at low water stage. The river is used for logs only above the town of Grays River. Total costs and expenditures have been $7,302.29 of which $2,500 was was new work and $4,802.29 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is con- templated during the fiscal year 1948.

DEEP RIVER, WASH. Location.r-This river is mainly a tidal slough of Grays Bay, Wash., an estuary on the north side of the Columbia River, about 20 miles from the mouth. The slough extends northerly about 4 miles from the northern end of Grays Bay, and the section above the head of the slough has several small tributaries. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) 2448 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Existing project.-This provides for a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water, 100 feet wide through the bars at the mouth of the river and the entrance thereto, and 60 feet wide in the river up to the town of Deep River. The tidal range at the mouth, be-' tween mean lower low water and mean higher high water, is about 8 feet and the extreme range about 13 feet. During ordinary freshets a stage of 9 feet and at extreme floods a stage of 14 feet is reached in the river at the town of Deep River, Wash. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1927, was $18,200. The latest (1924) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $2,400. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1925 (H. Doc. 218, 68th Cong., 1st sess.). There is no published map. Terminal facilities.-There is one privately owned wharf at the town of Deep River for general freight and passenger purposes which is considered adequate for the present commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1928. A survey of March 1944 showed a controlling depth of 4 feet to mile 1, thence 2.5 feet to the town of Deep River (mile 6). No recent surveys have been made. Total costs and expenditures have been $27,820.06 of which $15,384.40 was for new work and $12,435.66 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1948. The sum of $20,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance as follows: Dredging in the channel between the mouth and Deep River to remove shoals and boulders, by contract, March 1949--- ---- $16, 000 Snagging by contract March 1949 ----------------------- 3, 000 Hydrographic surveys_ ___-.---- -_ _ ----------------- 1, 000 Total_ ------------------------------- --------------- 20, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947__----- $15, 384. 40 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947_- --- ______---__ _-12, 435. 66 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947-------------27, 820. 06 Net total expenditures__________- __-- ______ 27, 820. 06 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947--------------------27, 820. 06 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, for maintenance.-_ ___-__------------- 20, 000. 00 19. YOUNGS BAY AND YOUNGS RIVER, OREG. Location.-Youngs River is a tributary of the lower Columbia River. It empties into Youngs Bay south and west of Astoria, Oreg., about 10 miles above the mouth of the Columbia. The total length of the river is about 20 miles, of which the lower 8 miles are tidal, (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 10 feet deep and 150 feet wide, from the Columbia River to the foot of Haven Island, a distance of about 21/2 miles across Youngs Bay and 4 miles in Youngs RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2449, River. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and extreme tidal range about 13 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1932, is $5,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,800. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. 209, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest pub- lished map is in the project document. Terminal facilities.-There are no public terminals or wharves.. The Pacific Power & Light Co. owns a wharf, about 300 feet long, which it operates in connection with its power plant, located about one-half mile below the highway bridge across the upper end of Youngs Bay. Above this highway bridge there is a small .privately owned wharf, used in connection with the handling of quarry stone by barges. There is also a fish-receiving wharf and warehouse on the Astoria side of Youngs Bay, located just above the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad bridge, and a log dump on the south side of Youngs Bay, just above the highway bridge. The existing ter- minals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Total costs and expenditures were $8.44 for maintenance. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1938. The controlling depth in a channel 150 feet wide in Youngs Bay is 8.5 feet, no recent surveys have been made in Youngs River Channel. Total costs and expenditures have been $9,602.45 of which $9,347.51 was for new work and $254.94 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $464.13, will be applied to maintenance surveys. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949.

The channel enters'the Columbia about 10 miles above its mouth and 4 miles below Astoria, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.--This provides for a channel 30 feet deep and generally 200 feet wide extending from deep water in Columbia River to the railroad bridge at Warrenton, Oreg., a distance of 1.8 miles, and for a turning basin at Warrenton; and for a channel 6 feet deep and generally 40 feet wide, with increased widths at log dumps and terminals, for a distance of 4,500 feet, via cut-off chan- nel, above the railroad bridge. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet; the extreme tidal range is about 13 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1937, was $145,800. The latest (1945) approved estimate of cost for annual mainte- nance is $20,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 July 3, 1930 Channel from deep water in the Columbia River to H. Doc. 278, 70th Cong., 1st sess. the railroad bridge. Aug. 26,1937 For the channel extending upstream from the railroad H. Doc. 201, 75th Cong.; 1st sess. bridge a distance of 4,500 feet. 1 Contain latest published maps. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Before adoption of the project, local interests and the port of Astoria constructed timber bulkheads and dredged the channel at a total cost of about $560,000. Terminal facilities.-The city of Warrenton owns a wharf with 300-foot frontage open to the public. Two privately owned lumber- mill wharves with total frontage of 800 feet are used for lumber shipments. In the channel above the railroad bridge the only facilities are the log dumps used by the log trucks. These facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operationsand'results during fiscal year.-None. Total costs for the fiscal year were $73.52, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $67.54. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. The channel is in good condition; a survey of August 1945 shows a controlling depth of 30 feet in the channel to the rail- road bridge at Warrenton and in turning basin, but local interests report shoaling with less than 25 feet available at low tide. Above the railroad bridge the controlling depth is about 6 feet. Total costs and expenditures have been $344,570.99 of which $130,- 119.35 was for new work and $214,451.64 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $58.81, plus allotment of $20,000, a total of $20,058.81, will be applied to maintenance as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2451 Dredging in the channel to the railroad bridge and in turning basin, by Government plant and hired labor, May 1948-------------- $18, 058. 81 Hydrographic surveys_------__ ___ __--__ ---------- ___-- 2, 000. 00 Total --------------------------------------------- 20, 058. 81 The additional sum of $47,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance as follows: Dredging in the channel to the railroad bridge and in the turning basin by Government plant and hired labor, May 1949 $45, 000 ---------------- Hydrographic surveys----------------------- -------------- 2, 000 Total------- ------------------------------- -------- 47, 000, Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947__ _____________ $130, 119. 35 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947 ______-------_____ 214, 451. 64 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947------------344, 570. 99 Net total expenditures_______ ______________________________ 344, 570. 99 Unexpended balance June 30, 1947------------------- 58. 81 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947--------------344, 629. 80 Fiscal year ending June 30-, 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 Cost of new work- ..----------- - Cost of maintenance.............- $32, 572. 98 $25, 733. 12 $36, 164. 56 $1, 003. 11 $73.52 Total expended -----------------................... 32, 572. 98 534. 19 55, 740. 21 6, 632. 37 67. 54 Allotted ......... ..--------------------------------------------- 49,000. 00 -8, 000. 00 -3. 700. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1946 ----------------------------- _ $3, 826. 35 Deductions on account of revocation of allotment---------------- 3, 700. 00 Net amount to be accounted for ------------------------- 126. 35 - Gross amount expended___________ _________________-- -____ 67. 54 Balance unexpended June 30, 1947------------------,__ 58. 81 Amount allotted in August 1947__ ________________________ 20, 000. 00 Unobligated balance available for fiscal year 1948_---- 20, 058. 81 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, for maintenance 1_ _______--________________ 47, 000. 00 1 Exclusive of available funds. 21. COLUMBIA RIVER BETWEEN CHINOOK, WASH., AND THE HEAD OF SAND ISLAND Location.---At the easterly end of Bakers (Baker) Bay, which is on the north side of the Columbia River near its mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 8 feet deep and 150 feet wide, extending from the head of Sand Island to Chinook, Wash., a distance of about 4,000 feet, and the reinforcement and future main- tenance of the existing pile and timber breakwater at Chinook. Mean lower-low ~water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between 2452 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet and the extreme tidal range about 13 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1938, was $25,000. The latest (1938) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 50, 75th Cong., 2d session.). The latest published map is in this document. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal is the wharf of the Chinook Packing Co., a portion of which is used as a public landing. There is no present need for additional terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Total costs and expenditures were $3.52 for maintenance. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1940. Repairs to the breakwater were completed in 1939 and the channel dredging in 1940. The channel is in good condition. The latest survey, made in August 1945, showed a controlling depth of 7 feet, but local interests have reported shoaling in the channel during 1947. Total costs and expenditures have been $78,109.50, of which $40,000 was for new work and $38,109.50 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexperided June 30, 1947, amounting to $90.50, plus allotment of $12,000, a total of $12,090.50, will be applied to maintenance as follows: Dredging channel by Government plant and hired labor, July 1948__ $10, 090. 50 Hydrographic surveys___________________________ __ 2, 000. 00 Total---------- ----------------------------------- 12, 090. 50 The additional sum of $14,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance as follows: Dredging channel by Government plant and hired labor, July 1949 ... $12, 000 Hydrographic surveys_______________________________________ 2, 000 Total------------- ---------- ---------------------- 14, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947_ ___________1__ 1 _____$40, 000. 00 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947_--- -------- ____-_ 38, 109. 50 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947-------------78, 109. 50 Net total expenditures_ _ _ - ____-_____----------- 78, 109. 50 Unexpended balance June 30, 1947_ ____________-_ ___- 90. 50 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947---------------78, 200. 00 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 Cost of new work .___........................ -_.. . .. . ..--- ----- ------ ......--- - Cost of maintenance-------------- $7, 000 -------------- $20, 520. 80 $85.18 $3. 52 Total expended--___- ______ --- __ 7, 000 ------------- 20, 520. 80 85. 18 3. 52 - Allotted .........-....... ........ . - ..... ._. .... 35, 500.00 -12,000.00 -2, 800.00 RIVERS AND HIARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2453 -Balance unexpended July 1, 1946.:___________ ______________ $2, 894. 02 Deductions on account of revocation of allotment----------------- 2, 800. 00 Net amount to be accounted for-___--------__________ 94. 02 . 6Gross.,amount expended------------------------- _ - 3. 52 Balance unexpended June 30, 1947_----------------- 90. 50 Amount allotted in August 1947_____-___-___- ____-- -___ 12, 000. 00 Unobligated balance available for fiscal year 1948_ _ 12, 090. 50 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1949 for maintenance 1_-___-_____-_______ __________ __ 14, 000. 00 SExclusive of available funds. 22. 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 refer- ence. 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 1947 to include the west channel, is $408,577. 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. 44, 73d Cong., 1st sess.), the west channel by River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 443, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published maps are in these documents. Terminal facilities.-Terminals have been constructed at Ilwaco along Holman waterway, 200 feet wide by 3,000 feet in length and on a dredged basin 400 by 1,000 feet. The facilities consist of wharves, floats, ramps, and berths for oil barges and oil boats. The facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Total costs and expenditures were $3.52 for maintenance. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 32 percent complete. The channel extending through the easterly pas- sage at Sand Island to the port of Ilwaco, Wash., was completed in 1934. The controlling depth as shown by the latest survey made in August 1945 is 10 feet, but shoaling has taken place during 1946 and 1947. The west channel extending from deep water in Columbia River to the main channel near Ilwaco, authorized under the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, was partially completed with military funds 2454 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 during June 1943 and August 1944. This work consisted of dredging a channel from Ilwaco to Fort Canby, approximately 1 mile, to a depth of from 9 to 11 feet. 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 $200,606.90, of which $78,577.47 was for new work and $122,029.43 for maintenance. Proposedoperations.-Thefunds unexpended June 30, 1947, amount- ing to $70.57 plus allotments of $295,000 made during August 1947, a total of $295,070.57, will be applied as follows: New work: Dredging west channel 8 feet deep and 150 feet wide with increased width at southerly end, con- necting Columbia River with Baker Bay Chan- nel, by contract, October 1947 to May 1948___ $165, 000. 00 Construction of spur dikes, by contract, October 1947 to May 1948-----------------------. 105, 000. 00 Total new work --------------------------------- $270, 000. 00 Maintenance: Dredging in channel between the head of Sand Island and Ilwaco, by Government plant and hired labor, May 1948-------------------- $22, 070. 57 Hydrographic surveys------------------------ 3, 000. 00 Total for maintenance____ __- __-- - ____ ___--25, 070. 57 Total all work_------------------------------------ $295, 070. 57 The additional sum of $107,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 as follows: New work: Completion of construction of spur dikes, by contract, July to September 1948_- _---- _-_----_---------_------- $60, 000 Maintenance: Dredging in channel between the head of Sand Island and Ilwaco by Government plant and hired labor, May 1949. $45, 000 Hydrographic surveys___------------------------------- 2, 000 Total maintenance------------- ------------------------ 47, 000 Total all work_ ----------- ---------- 107, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947___-- ------------- $78, 577. 47 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947_ ---- _ _------------- 122, 029. 43 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947------------200, 606. 90 Net total expenditures.------- ---- ------------------------- 200, 606. 90 Unexpended balance June 30, 1947________ _____- -_ ___ 70. 57 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947------------- 200, 677. 47 RIVERS AND HARBORS---PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2455 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 Cost of new work ------------- --- ------------------ - - --- ------------- --------- Cost of maintenance- ------------ $35, 850. 32 $818. 18 $26,060. 71 $17, 147 02 $3. 52 Total expended --- - - 35, 850. 32 755. 34 22, 210. 27 21, 060. 30 3. 52 Allotted------------------------------ 27, 000. 00 20, 000. 00 2, 000. 00 -4, 900. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1946__ _________________________--$4, 974. 09 Deductions on account of revocation of allotment---------------- 4, 900. 00 Net amount to be accounted for ------------------------- 74. 09 Gross amount expended ---------------------- ---------------- 3. 52 Balance unexpended June 30, 1.947----------------- 70. 57 Amount allotted in August 1947 ----------------------------- _ 295, 000. 00 Unobligated balance available for fiscal year 1948----------295, 070. 57 Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for completion of existing project 1 _________ ____- -___-- _____-- 60, 000. 00 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1949: For new work 1 ______- ----- -- _------- 60, 000. 00 For maintenance 1 -_____-_-_- - - -_______ 47, 000. 00 Total -------------------------------------------- 107, 000. 00 1Exclusive of available funds. 23. COLUMBIA RIVER AT THE MOUTH, OREGON AND WASHINGTON Location.-This river rises in British Columbia, through which it flows for 425 miles. It enters the United States in northeastern Washington, flows southerly to the mouth of Snake River, thence westerly between Oregon and Washington, and empties into the Pacific Ocean 645 miles north of San Francisco Bay and 160 miles south of the Straits of Juan de Fuca. The total length of the river is 1,210 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5902, 6151, 6152, 6153, 6154, 6155, and 6156; also Geological Survey map of Washington.) Previous proyect.-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. 2456 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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, except for repairs to jetties, is $65,000. 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 construc- tion of the north jetty, and dredging (H. Doc. 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 requiring local cooperation. However, during 1914 the port of Port- land contributed $475,000 and the port of Astoria $25,000 to this im- provement. 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.-Repairs to jetty A, in- itiated in the fiscal year 1946, were continued by contract. A total of 35,302 tons of stone was placed during the year, and the contract terminated on March 28, 1947. Dredging on Clatsop Spit with Gov- ernment plant and hired labor removed a total of 483,014 cubic yards of material. Hydrographic surveys were made during February 1947. Total costs for the fiscal year were $244,977.07, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $281,281.09. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1918. The north and south jetties are in good condition. A con- tract for the repair of jetty A was terminated on March 28, 1947, after 63,125 tons of stone out of an estimated 70,000 tons required to complete the repairs had been placed in the outer 300 feet and a sec- tion near the shore of the jetty. Storms have damaged the enrock- ment on Sand Island and have broken through the narrow portion of the island about 2 miles from the east end. A survey of August 1946 showed a controlling depth of 42 feet on the bar, and a survey made in June 1947 showed a controlling depth of 36 feet on the right half and 43 feet on the left half of the channel at Clatsop Spit. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $21,605,160.55, of which$11,357,506 was for new work and $10,- 247,654.20 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $21,607,532.40. In addition, $475,000 and $25,000 were contributed by the ports of Portland and Astoria respectively and expended for new work.

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 practicably 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, exclus- ive of contributed funds. The latest (1925) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $25,000 for entrance and bay channels. No provision was made for maintaining the jetty.

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 RIVERS AND HARBORS---PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2459 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.-Hydrographic surveys were made during July 1946. Total costs for the fiscal year were $535.71, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $473.23. 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 in 1945. The remaining work required to com- plete 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 July 1946 shows a controlling depth of 13 feet across the bar and in the entrance channel and 8 feet in the bay channel to the Garibaldi turning basin. The controlling depth in the turning basin was 15 feet in the center and right quarter and 8.5 feet in the left quarter. Total costs and expenditures under the existing project from Fed- eral funds have been $1,466,714.26 of which $574,446.78 was for new work and $892,267.48 for maintenance. In addition $398,832.70 was expended for new work and $6,450 for maintenance from contributed funds. Proposedoperations.-The allotment of $3,000, made in August 1947, will be applied to maintenance for hydrographic surveys. The additional sum of $4,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for hydrographic surveys.

SALMON RIVER, OREG. Location.-Salmon River, a small coastal stream, rises on the west slope of the coast range, flows westerly 22 miles and empties into the Pacific Ocean on the south side of Cascade Head about 84 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5902.) Existing project.-This provides for removal of dangerous rocks in the section below "3 Rox" to natural-bottom depths, not to exceed 5 feet at mean lower low water. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean tidal range at the mouth between mean higher high water and mean lower low water is about 6 feet and the extreme range about 13 feet. The estimate of cost of new work made in 1946 was $7,000 with annual maintenance of $500. The existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act, ap- proved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 551, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.-With the exception of a landing for small boats at "3 Rox" there are no public or other terminal facilities along the river. Operations and results duwring fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done. Proposed operations.-Allotment of $7,000, made during August 1947, will be applied to the removal of dangerous rock in section of the river below "3 Rox," by hired labor, September 1947. No additional funds will be required for the fiscal year 1949.

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 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 entrance 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. 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. 350, 77th Cong., 1st sess.) modified the project to provide for the existing proj- ect 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 im- provements, and save and hold free for use of the public as a roadway, promenade, or landing, a strip at least 60 feet wide along the easterly side of the retaining wall for its full length. Terminal facilities.-Terminal facilities consist of two small land- ings just inside the entrance, privately owned and used by operators of excursion and fishing boats. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Annual maintenance dredging of the entrance and basin was done during May and June 1947. A total of 3,855 cubic yards of material was removed by the U. S. pipe line dredge Depoe Bay at a cost of $8,537.45 including surveys. Total costs for the fiscal year were $8,537.45, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $9,637.81. Conditionat 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 dredging of the entrance or basin to the increased dimen- sions, or the construction of the retaining wall or the jetty at the entrance, authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945. The controlling depth in the entrance channel is 5 feet, and in the basin, a depth of 5 feet generally prevails. 2462 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Total costs have been $96,500, of which $30,961.19 was for new work and $65,538.81 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $96,122.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2463 27. YAQtJINA RIVER, OREG. Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range, flows about 50 miles in a westerly direction, and empties into Yaquina Bay, on the Oregon coast. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6058 and 5802.) Existing project.-This provides for two controlling half-tide dikes of piling, brush, and stone, each about 1,100 feet long (constructed by local interests) and for a channel 10 feet deep and generally 150 feet wide in Yaquina River and 200 feet wide in Depot slough, extend- ing 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, in- cluding $43,200 contributed by local interests. The latest (1911) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Doc. 519, 62d Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in that document. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-At Yaquina, at the mouth of the river, which is also the head of the bay, there is a small wharf of about 50 feet frontage. The Port of Toledo has a public wharf in Depot slough, at Toledo, with frontage of about 600 feet. The city of Toledo also has a public wharf of about 50 feet frontage on Depot slough built to accommodate small motorboats. There are also at Toledo two pri- vately owned slips having special facilities for transferring lumber to lighters. These terminals are considered adequate for present com- merce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Total costs and expenditures were $42.60 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1914. A survey made in November 1941 showed a controlling depth of 9.5 feet in the channel between the mouth and Toledo. Above Toledo to the head of navigation the controlling depth is about 2 feet. A survey of August 1945 showed a controlling depth of 6 feet in Depot slough. Total costs and expenditures from Federal funds have been $105,- 330.67, of which $28,800 was for new work and $76,530.67 for main- tenance. In addition $43,200 was expended for new work and $3,000 for maintenance from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $68.74, will be applied to maintenance surveys. The additional sum of $20,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance as follows: Dredging between Yaquina and Toledo by contract, March 1948-. __ $18, 000 Hydrographic surveys ----------------------------------------- 2, 000 Total....A------ ---- - ------- - - -- -- 20, 000 2464 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 T. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 6058.) Previous projects.-The River and Harbor Act bf June 14, 1880, provided for the improvement of the entrance. jSubsequent proj- ects were adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 3, 1896, June 6, 1900, and March 3, 1905. For further details see the Annual Report for 1893, part 4, page 3314, House Document 68, Fifty-fourth Congress, first session, and the Annual Report for 1938, page 1736. Existing project.-This provides for two high-tide rubble- mound jetties at the entrance, 1,000 feet apart at their outer ends; the north jetty to be 4,700 feet and the south jetty to be 5,800 feet in length; for a spur jetty on the channel side of the south jetty 4,700 feet from its sea end, 800 feet in length; for five groins chan- nelward from the south jetty; insofar as the rock bottom will allow for a channel 26 feet deep and of suitable width across the en- trance bar for a channel 20 feet deep and 300 feet wide from the outer end of the jetties upstream and along the south side of the bay a distance of about 2 miles to McLean Point with a turning basin at the upstream end 22 feet deep, 1,000 feet wide and 1,200 RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2465 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 breakwater 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 1947 is $2,250,000. The latest (1946) 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 several years.

The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides that local interests furnish assurances that they will provide adequate terminal facili- ties open to all on equal and equitable terms, furnish free of cost to the United States all spoil-disposal areas necessary for the improve- ments and their subsequent maintenance, when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages re- sulting from the improvements. The act of July 24, 1946, provides that local interests furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, right-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas required for the construction of the project; furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will maintain necessary depth in the basin; construct, maintain, and operate necessary mooring facilities and utilities within the basin, including a public landing with suit- 2466 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 able 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 ade- quate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographicsurveys were made during May and July 1946 and June 1947. Total costs for the fiscal year were $1,540.34, all for maintenance. Expendi- tures were $1,523.14. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 83 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 18 feet on the entrance range and between the jetties, 20 feet in a 150-foot channel, and 111/2 feet in the 300-foot channel between the entrance and 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 rock bottom will allow, to a depth of 26 feet, and the existing chan- nel 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 con- struction of a small-boat mooring basin at Newport, 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 $2,499,197.18, of which $1,645,589.30 was for new work and $853,607.88 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $2,499,118.36. In addition, $729,168.48 was expended for new work from contrib- uted 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 Francisco Bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 6004.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified in 1886. For further details see page 2967 of Annual Report for 1898, and page 1732 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a jetty on the north side of the entrance approximately 8,000 feet in length westerly from the high- water line to the sea; for a south jetty extending to a point 1,800 feet south of the outer end of the 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 1947 is $2,666,700, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and $276,500 contributed and $10,000 to be contributed by local interests. The latest 1945 approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $196,000, including jetty maintenance.

Local cooperation.-Requirementsof local cooperation for all work authorized prior to 1945 have been fully compiled with and approved. Under the provisions of River and Harbor Act approved March 2, RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2469 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 fur- nish assurances that the Gardiner mill will be operated to produce an average daily output of 100,000 feet board measure for 300 days per year; that the mill wharf or other suitable wharf will be open to all on equal and reasonable terms; and that local interests furnish free of cost to the United States, when.and as required, all lands, easements, and rights-of-way and 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. Terminal facilities.-At Gardiner there is approximately 650 feet of wharf frontage, of which 60 feet is publicly owned. At Reedsport there is about 750 feet of usable wharf frontage, all privately owned. The port of Umpqua owns one wharf with 456 feet of water frontage and another with about 75 feet of water frontage which has not been used generally for commercial shipping. The existing terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographicsurveys were made during July 1946 and May 1947. Preliminary work in connection with the reconstruction of the south jetty including model studies at the United States Waterways Experiment Station at Vicks- burg, Miss., was continued during the year. Total costs for the fiscal year were $48,142.76 all for maintenance. Expenditures were $64,676.69. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 93 percent complete. The north jetty was completed in 1940. 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 reconstructed in 1942 and is in good condition. The south jetty is in fair condition except that about 1,000 feet of its outer end has been beaten down to low water level. Total costs from Federal funds under the existing project have been $3,907,800.40, of which $2,388,706.06 was for new work and $1,519,- 094.34 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $3,907,754.70. In addition $276,500 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $71,701.48 plus allotments of $181,500 made in August 1947 and $100,000 advanced by local interests (Gardiner Channel), will be applied as follows: Accounts payable_ ------------------------------------------- _ $45. 70 New work: Dredging a channel 22 feet deep and 200 feet wide from main river channel near mile 8 to Gardiner and a turning basin of same depth 500 feet wide and 800 feet long; opposite Gardiner, by contract, September to December 1947; by Government funds $127,500, by funds advanced by local interests $97,500, a total of_ 225, 000. 00 2470 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 re- moval in a channel width of 50 feet from the mouth of the river to the head of navigation in both forks, to provide a' depth of 3 feet generally and 1 foot near the heads of navigation. The section under improvement includes the mouth and 51/2 miles of the main river and about 81/2 miles of each fork. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges under ordinary conditions at the mouth of the river are 7.3 and 11 feet, respectively, and there is a tidal range of about 1 foot at the head of navigation in the forks. Freshet stages usually reach a height of from 10 to 15 feet at Allegany, head of navigation on the North Fork. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1898, was $8,000. The latest (1923) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896 (H. Doc. 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Snagging and dredging 'was done during October 1946 by hired plant and labor. A total of 2,425 cubic yards of material and 2,470 snags and overhanging trees and branches were removed at a cost of $4,450.17. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $79.39. Total costs for the fiscal year were $4,529.56. Expenditures were $4,529.86. 2472 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1899. The controlling depth from the mouth to the forks is about 4 feet. In the north and south forks the project depths of from 1 to 3 feet are available except in spots. Total costs and expenditures have been $79,788.81 of which $8,000 was for new work and $71,788.81 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $632.36 plus allotment of $4,000 or a total of $4,632.36 will be applied to maintenance as follows: Dredging and snagging in Coos River and north and south forks by contract, August and September 1947 ------------------------ $4, 000. 00 Hydrographic surveys__------_-- _ ----------- _ ------------ --- 632. 36 Total ------------------------------------------------ 4, 632. 36 The additional sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance as follows: Maintenance dredging and snagging by contract, September 1947------ $4, 000 Hydrographic surveys----------------------------------------, 000 Total--------------------------------------- --------- 5, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947---------------------------$8, 000. 00 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947------------------------- 71, 788. 81 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947-----------_ -79, 788. 81 Net total expenditures--- ---------------------------------- 79, 788. 81 Unexpended balance June 30, 1947---------------------------- 632. 36 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947--------------- 80, 421. 17 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 Cost of new work------- ------ -------------- -------------- -------------- ------------- Cost of maintenance----- --------- $214.67 $4, 321 ......-------------- $1,017.08 $4, 529. 56 Total expended.....----------------- 214. 67 4, 321-------------- 1, 016. 78 4, 529. 86 Allotted.---------------------- -------------- 5,000 $1, 500 4,000.00..

It is about 13 miles long and 1 mile wide, with an area at high tide of about 15 square miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 5984.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1879, September 19, 1890, and August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1987 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1728 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for two rubble-mound, high-tide jetties at the entrance; 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; a channel 22 feet deep and 150 feet wide from Smiths Mill (mouth of Isthmus slough) to Millington. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges at the entrance are 7 and about 11 feet, respectively, and at Coos Bay 7.3 and 11 feet, respectively. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1947, is $11,070,763, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest 1946 approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $400,000, 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 2474 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-DuringJuly and August 1946, the U. S. hopper dredge Hyde removed 65,045 cubic yards of material from the bar and entrance channel and 173,145 cubic yards from the inner bay channel at a cost of $56,261.71; and during April, May, and June 1947, the U. S. hopper dredge Michie removed 438,685 cubic yards of material from the bay channel and 158,937 cubic yards from the bar and entrance channel at a cost of $87,958.52. Hydro- graphic surveys were made at a cost of $10,866.03. Total costs for the fiscal year were $155,086.26, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $186,347.43. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is approxi- mately 55 percent complete. All work authorized prior to 1946 was completed in 1937. The south jetty was completed in 1938, the north jetty in 1929, and the channel dredging in 1937. Both jetties are in good condition. At the close of the fiscal year, the controlling depth on the bar and in the entrance channel was 25 feet. Between the en- trance and the head of the bay at Coos Bay, the controlling depth was 20 feet in a channel 250 feet wide. In the turning basin at Coos Bay, the controlling depth was 18 feet. The remaining work required to complete the existing project con- sists of dredging to provide a channel across the outer bar 40 feet deep at mhean lower low water, and of suitable width, with dimension 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 from Federal funds under the existing project have been $9,854,200.96, of which $4,120,763.51 was for new work and $5,733,437.45 for maintenance. Total expenditures have been $9,859,- 137.71. In addition, $2,713.14 was expended for new work and $8,386.86 for maintenance from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, in- cluding accounts receivable, amounting to $17,544.15 plus allotments of $700,000 made during August 1947, a total of $717,544.15, will be applied as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2475 New work: Removal of Guano Rock at the entrance to Coos Bay by contract, September 1947 to June 30, 1948----------- $500, 000. 00 Maintenance: Dredging inner bay channel and turning basin by contract, August to October 1947------__ $205, 000. 00 Hydrographic surveys____________________ 12, 544. 15 Total maintenance ------------------------- ___ _ 217, 544. 15 Total all work_____________________--_____________ 717, 544. 15 The additional sum of $3,410,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 as follows: New work: Rock removal between Guano Rock and the railroad bridge, by contract, July 1948 to June 1949------------------ $3, 000, 000 Maintenance: Operation of a seagoing hopper dredge on the bar and ir the bay channel, a total of about 10 months, July to November 1948 and March to June 1949 _ $400, 000 Hydrographic surveys_ -- ___-___--_-10, 000 Total maintenance__- ____________ 410, 000 Total all work____________ ___________-________ 3, 410, 000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947__---------_ $4, 922, 859. 95 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1947__________________ 5, 912, 238. 28 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1947-_---- 110, 835, 098. 23 Plus accounts receivable June 30, 1947---- __----4, ----- 936. 75 Gross total costs to June 30, 1947 ------------------- 10, 840, 034. 98 _ Net total expenditures--------- --------------- 1 10, 840, 034. 98 Unexpended balance June 30, 1947-------------------- 12, 607. 40 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1947---------- 10, 852, 642. 38 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 Cost of new work ...------------------------- Cost of maintenance--------- ---- $83, 036. 78 $101, 558.14 $331, 852. 12 $69, 988. 70 $155, 086. 26 Total expended. ----------------- 93, 341. 78 77, 074. 26 346, 061. 11 54, 353. 32 186, 347. 43 Allotted ----------------------- 56, 000. 00 -43, 000. 00 355, 000. 00 106, 000. 00 100, 000. 00 Balance unexpended July 1, 1946___________________________ $98, 954. 83 Amount allotted during fiscal year 0, 000. 00 10------------------------- Amount to be accounted for_______________ _______ 198, 954. 83 Gross amount expended ----------------------------- 186, 347. 43 Balance unexpended June 30, 1947-------------------- 12, 607. 40 Amount covered by uncompleted contracts _ _-3. 60 Balance available June 30, 1947---------------------- 12, 603. 80 1In addition, $11,100 was expended from contributed funds; $2,713.14 for new work and $8,386.86 for maintenance. 766707-48--pt. 1, vol. 2- 72 2476 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 Columbia River and 420 miles nprth of San Francisco Bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 5971.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 14, 1880, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1986 of the Annual Report for 1915 and page 1727 of the Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for two rubble-mound high-tide jetties at the river mouth, the south jetty 2,700 feet long and the north 3,450 feet; and for a channel 13 feet deep at mean lower low water and of suitable width from the sea to a point 1 mile above the old Coquille River Lighthouse, and for snagging to the State highway bridge at the city of Coquille. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth is 6.8 feet and the extreme range about 10 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, was $316,640 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $22,000 for dredging and snagging. There is no approved estimate for main- tenance of jetties. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 14,1880 Jetties-....... -.-------------.-.---.------.--.. S. Ex.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2477 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 fisoal year.-Hydrographic surveys were made during June 1947. Total costs for the fiscal year were $573.59 for maintenance. Expen- ditures were $1,683.63. Conditions 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. Controlling depths as shown by a survey made in June 1947 are 11 feet on the bar and 8 feet from the entrance to Bandon. Total costs'under the existing project from Federal funds have been $930,797.20, of which $316,640.21 was for new work and $614,- 156.99 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $930,797.20. In addition $72,891.20 was expended for new work from contributed funds.

CHETCO RIVER, OREG. Location.-Chetco River rises in the Siskiyou Mountains of the Coast Range at an elevation of 4,000 feet, flows for a distance of about 51 miles in a circuitous route and empties into, the Pacific Ocean at Brookings, Oreg., 300 miles south of the entrance to Columbia River and 345 miles north of San Francisco Bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5702 and 5896.) Existing project.-This provides for the stabilization of the channel through the bar at the mouth of the river by the construction of jetties and by dredging. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range in the cove between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.9 feet and the extreme range is from 2.6 feet below to 9.7 feet above mean lower low water. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1946 is $297,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $8,000. The existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 817, 77th Cong. 2d sess.). Local cooperation.-River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, requires that local interests furnish free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent maintenance when and as required; and furnish free of cost to the United States a suitable quarry or source of royalty-free rock for construction of the jetties. Terminal facilities.-There are no terminal facilities along the river frontage or in the outer cove. Operationsand results during fiscal year.--None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1946, amounting to $2,000, will be applied to the preparation of contract plans and specification, new work.

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 reservoir 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 right abutment, bifurcated at the dam axis into 20-foot steel lined tunnels. Emergency control will be affected 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 coordinated system to protect Williamette River Valley against floods and to increase the low water flows for naviga- tion 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 1947 is $25,636,000 for construc- tion and $19,747,000 for lands and damages, a total of $45,383,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. FLOOD CONTROL--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2503 Operations and results during fiscal year.-Surveys and contract plans and specifications for the relocation of the Southern Pacific Railroad were completed by contract. A contract was awarded for construction of piers and abutments for three railroad bridges and work initiated. Plans for road relocation were approximately 55 percent completed by contract with the Oregon State Highway Com mission. Construction of temporary housing, together with utilities, warehouses, and railroad siding was underway. Contract plans and specifications for construction of the dam, except for the spillway and outlet structures, were underway. A model of the proposed side spillway was completed and the construction of the model of the outlet works initiated. A decision as to the type of spillway will be made when model tests have been completed. Total costs for the fiscal year were $473,953.44, all for new work. Expenditures were $489,677.77. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Preliminary work in connection with railroad relocation was completed and construction initiated on piers and abutments for railroad bridges. Model tests of side spill- way have been initiated and construction of the outlet works model is underway. Construction of temporary housing facilities for construction forces is underway.

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 tributary to this reservoir is 104 square miles. E~aisting 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, FLOOD CONTROL---PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2505 overflow type forming the right abutment. Outlet works, consist- ing of three gate-controlled conduits, pass through the spillway sec- tion. The reservoir is operated as a unit of the coordinated reser- voir system to protect the Willamette River Valley and to increase 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 1947 is $1,834,- 500 for construction and $551,500 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Studies and planning for recreational facilities were continued during the first half of the year. Temporary toilet facilities were installed in the recreational area. A concrete shelter over the recorder well in the spillway section was constructed. Maintenance: Operation of regulating gates, maintenance of struc- tures and grounds and ordinary repairs were continued during the year. During the season of low flow, controlled release of water was at all times maintained in amounts in excess of downstream water rights. Once each week and extending over a period of approximately 6 hours controlled discharge was increased to 150 cubic feet per second for purposes of flushing that part of the channel which is adjacent to the town of Cottage Grove. Fall season evacuation of stored water was accomplished as scheduled. Flood season regulation was at all times carried out within imposed limitations, three minor freshets in the Coast Fork being fully 'cntrolled. Annual filling of the reservoir was initiated and completed as scheduled. Fluctuation of the reservoir water surface during June and for pur- pose of malaria control was carried out in accordance with approved schedule. Because of increased demand for water in the downstream area, the minimum controlled release was increased to 50 cubic feet per second. To date this quantity has been found to be adequate and has rendered unnecessary the former schedule of channel flushing. Total costs for the fiscal year were $25,118.52, of which $6,965.67 was for new work and $18,152.85 for maintenance. Expenditures were $23,470.39. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the dam and appurtenant works was completed in 1942, and the dam has been in continuous operation since that time. The project as a whole has been completed except for minor items which include construction of opera- tors quarters, landscaping, and the planning and construction of recreational facilities. Total costs have been $2,332,983.81, of which $2,244,072.64 was for new work and $88,911.17 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $2,332,575.92.

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 aboveits mouth. The drainage area tributary to this reservoir is 252 square miles. 2510 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Existing 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 automatic radial gates. Outlet works are located in the spillway structure. 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 Val- ley and will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system to protect the Willamette River Valley generally and to increase low water flows for navigation. The existing project was selected for con- struction under the general authorization for the Willamette River Basin, contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1947 is $3,663,365 for construction and $812,635 for lands and damages, a total of $4,476,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work :Relocation of the Benton County Flax Plant pump house intake, levee repair, construction of a bridge approach, and the instillation of lavatories in the recreational area were completed. Planning for recreational facilities was continued and lands and easements acquired for improve- ment of the Long Tom Channel. Maintenace: Operation of regulating gates, maintenance of struc- tures and grounds, and ordinary repairs were continued during the year. During the season of low flow, controlled release of stored water was maintained in amounts slightly in excess of downstream requirements. Fall season evacuation of stored water was accomplished on schedule, being completed prior to the advent of the normal annual flood season. Regulation during the flood season was at all times carried out within the limitations established, three relatively minor freshets in the Long Tom River being controlled to the inbank capacity of the downstream channel. Storage of water was initiated on the scheduled date and the reser- voir was approximately 98 percent full at the end of the fiscal year. Total costs for the fiscal year were $60,162.67 of which $29,118.81 was for new work and $31,043.86 for maintenance. Expenditures were $67,687.03. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the dam and appurtenant 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, has been completed and is in operation. Construction of operator's quar- ters, landscaping, and the completion of the Long Tom Channel improvement work remain to complete the project. Total costs have been $4,189,066.79, of which $4,072,936.50 was for new workand $116,130.29 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $4,188,368.03.

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 Coun- ties, 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 reser- voir is 438 square miles. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a dam with provisions for future power generating facili- ties. The dam will be of the concrete gravity type 370 feet in height, from river to normal pool level at elevation 1,569, and approximately 1,580 feet in length. The spillway will be an overflow 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. FLOOD CONTROL---PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2513 The future powerhouse site will be located on the right bank imme- diately 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 co- ordinated reservoir systei 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 1947 is $33,921,000 for construction and $7,179,000 for lands and damages, a total of $41,100,000.

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 Charts Nos. 9302 and 9380.) Existing project.-This provides for two 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 during 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 I Aug. 8, 1917 For 2 jetties, the easterly 335 feet and the westerly 460 H.

Doc. 404, 71st Cong., 2d sess., and Rivers and Harbors Com- mittee Doc. 38, 73d Cong.,2d sess. ' 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 evi- dence, 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2541 proper execution of the work. These conditions have been met an- nually as required, the Territory of Alaska currently furnishing the annual monetary contribution. Terminal facilities.-Cargoes and passengers from ocean vessels are lightered to and from shore a distance of about 2 miles. Traffic enters the dredged channel and is handled over the revetment, where transfer facilities that are open to public use have been installed by a lighterage company. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Dredging totaling 48,400 cubic yards was accomplished at a cost of $42,793.91, and re- vetment repairs were carried on at a cost of $60,922.15, by Government plant, rented plant, and hired labor, July to November 1946, and May and June 1917. The 200 feet of north revetment destroyed by the storm of October 1945 were reconstructed with steel sheet piling, and reconstruction of 130 feet of south revetment damaged by the same storm was commenced. Most of the 20,000-cubic-yard shoal caused by the storm of October 1946 was removed. The total costs, includ- ing credits and adjustments of $152.58, were $103,716.06, including $101,216.06 from Federal funds and $2,500 from contributed funds, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $106,878.38 from Fed- eral funds and $2,500 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is 50 percent complete. Construction of the original 335- and 460-foot jetties and the revet- ments was commenced in 1919 and completed in 1923. Reconstruc- tion of the jetties with concrete to modified lengths of 240 feet and 400 feet was completed in 1940. Dredging of the channel and the original 200- by 250-foot basin was commenced in 1919 and completed in 1922. Undamaged timber revetments show progressive deterioration, rough spots are in evidence on the east jetty, and erosion of the beach is occurring shoreward of that structure. Controlling depths in June 1947 were 8 feet over the bar, 3 feet in the channel, and 2.5 to 9 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, 1947, have been $272,950.13 for new work and $814,672.01 for maintenance, a total of $1,087,622.14, and the expenditures have been $1,091,973.73. In addition, $62,500 has been expended from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The Federal funds unexpended .June 30, 1947, $48,173.04, together with accounts receivable, $1,892.65, and an anticipated allotment of $169,000, a total of $219,065.69, will be applied to maintenance, by Government plant and hired labor, as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1947- -_------------------------ $655. 53 Maintenance dredging, U.

VALDEZ HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-Valdez Harbor is at the head of Valdez Arm, a narrow tidal' inlet extending northeastward 26 miles from Prince William Sound in the Gulf of Alaska. It is 170 miles northeast of Seward, Alaska. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8519 and 855g.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a small-boat and sea- plane basin approximately 3 acres in area and 12 feet deep at mean lower low water in the tide flat area between the wharves, and diverting a small creek away from the basin site. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.8 feet. The extreme range is about 22 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, was $68,500. There is no approved estimate for annual maintenance, which is ex- pected to be nominal. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved June 20, 1938 (H. Doc. 415, 75th Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are two privately owned wharves for deep-draft vessels, both open to general public use on payment of moor- ing and wharfage charges. These facilities are adequate for existing ocean-steamer commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was completed in 1939. No survey has been made since that date. The costs and expenditures have been $52,361.08, all for new work. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed for fiscal year 1948. The sum of $3,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for a condition survey.

It is about 1,600 miles northwest of Seattle and 93 miles south of Valdez, Alaska. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8525 and 8520.) Existing project.-This provides for a sheltered harbor for small boats approximately 8.26 acres in area with a depth of 10 feet at mean lower low water, protected by a north breakwater about 1,100 feet long, and a south breakwater about 1,400 feet long. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 12.4 feet, with an extreme range of 22 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1934, is $295,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 33, 73d Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal faciilties.-There are nine wharves and floats in Cordova Harbor. One privately owned wharf has oil-handling and bunker- ing facilities, and is open for public use as a passenger and general cargo terminal; one wharf and float is municipally owned and open for public use; and two floats are owned and used by Government agencies. The remaining wharves are privately owned and used for industrial purposes. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in October 1938. A survey in 1942 revealed a controlling depth of 8.9 feet at mean lower low water. The costs and expenditures have been $253,534.14, all for new work. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1948.

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, Wash., and 94 miles northwest of Juneau, Alaska. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8202 and 8303.) Previous projects.--The original project, adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938, provided for a rock, brush, and earth training dike on the left bank of Skagway River, and a rubble- mound breakwater across the tide flats in prolongation of the dike. Completed in 1940, the dike and breakwater now form a part of the flood-control project for Skagway, Skagway River, Alaska, author- ized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. For further details, see pages 2451 and 2499 of the Annual Report for 1946. Existing project.-This provides for dredging at the face of the wharf to a depth of 30 feet at mean lower low water for the southerly 700 feet, and to a depth of 20 feet for the next 100 feet; and for dredging a basin for small boats to a depth of 8 feet over an area of 1 acre near the north end of the wharf. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 16.6 feet. The extreme range is about 28.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $25,000. The latest approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance, made in 1942, is $700. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act" of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 746, 79th Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-Local interests are required 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 breakwater 200 feet long for protection of the basin before any dredg- ing is done; and agree to provide and maintain all necessary mooring floats within the basin. The mayor of Skagway was advised of these requirements December 30, 1946, and accepted the terms in reply of December 31, 1946. Terminal facilities.-There is one privately owned wharf open for public use as a passenger and general cargo terminal. Also in the harbor is one barge terminal owned by the United States Gov- ernment 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.--No work has been done on the existing project, and there have been no costs or expenditures. Proposed operations.--No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1948. The sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended on new work during the fiscal year 1949 for dredging at the wharf and in the small-boat basin to complete the project. 2548 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

JUNEAU HARBOR, ALASKA Location.--Juneau Harbor is in the portion of Gastineau Channel in front of the city of Juneau, the capital of Alaska, at the mouth of Gold Creek. It is about 1,000 miles by water northwesterly from Seattle and 107 miles northeasterly from Petersburg, Alaska. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8235 and 8202.) Existing project.-This provides for a small-boat basin 111/2 acres in area just north of the Douglas-Juneau bridge, with a depth of 12 feet at mean lower low water, by the construction of two rock-mound breakwaters 430 feet and 1,540 feet in length, and dredging the pro- tected area. The range between mean lower low water and mean .higher high water is 16.6 feet. The extreme range is 26.4 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1937, was $232,000. There is no approved estimate for annual maintenance, which is ex- pected to be nominal. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. 249, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 18 wharves and floats. One wharf municipally owned and one privately owned, both privately operated, are for public use as general cargo and passenger terminals; one wharf privately owned and operated is open to the public as a cold- storage terminal; two floats are municipally owned and open for public use for the accommodation of small vessels; one wharf and one float are owned and operated by the Government; the remaining wharves are used for industrial purposes. These facilities for ocean- steamer commerce are adequate for existing and prospective needs. A number of floats are maintained for the mooring of small craft, but the available sheltered anchorages are entirely inadequate for the many small fishing and work boats frequenting the vicinity. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939. No condition surveys have been made subsequent to the completion of the project. The costs have been $150,715.81 for new work and $88.25 for main- tenance, a total of $150,804.06. The expenditures have been $150,804.06. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1948.

Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.-There are three wharves and one float on Kodiak Harbor. Of the wharves, one that is privately owned serves general cargo and passenger traffic and is open for public use; the other two are owned by the United States and restricted to Government use. The float is used for oil handling and bunkering. One general cargo wharf, the Government wharf, and the float are located on the improved channel, and the other general cargo wharf is on the Inner Anchorage about one-half mile west of the town of Kodiak. 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 about 30 percent complete. The channel in front of Erskine wharf was dredged in 1942. The project depth is available to the town of Kodiak through the westerly entrance. Through the easterly entrance, the controlling depth is 21 feet over a width of 160 feet. The work remaining to be done is dredging and rock removal in the chanel east of Kodiak to project depth and width. The costs and expenditures have been $12,144.64. 2550 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

SITKA HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-Sitka Harbor is located on Sitka Sound in southeastern Alaska off the west shore of Baranof Island. It is about 980 miles north of Seattle and 230 miles westerly from Petersburg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8244, 8252, 8255, and 8251.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, provides for basin with protecting breakwater in Japonski Island lagoon; no work done. Adopted by River and Harbor Act of October 17, 1940, provides for breakwaters between Japonski, Harbor, and Aleutski Islands; no work done. For further details see page 2069 of Annual Report for 1940 and page 2020 of Annual Report for 1941. Existing project.-This provides for a channel on the easterly side of Harbor Rock, 150 feet wide and 22 feet deep at mean lower low water; for the removal of Indian Rock; and for improvement of Crescent Bay by dredging an area of about 13 acres to a depth of 10 feet below mean lower low water, and constructing protective break- waters. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 9.9 feet. The extreme range is about 18 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1947, is $667,800. The latest (1944) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $6,000.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2551 Local cooperation.-In accordance with the report of the Chief of Engineers dated March 14, 1944, local interests are required to agree to furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and quarry rights, when and as required for the initial work and subsequent maintenance, and to provide and maintain within the basin mooring floats as approved by the Chief of Engineers, and to be made available to the general public on equal terms. Assurances of compliance with these requirements were obtained from the mayor of Sitka in letters of March 11 and May 14, 1946. Terminal facilities.-There are 16 piers, wharves, and floats in Sitka Harbor. Three privately owned and operated wharves are open for public use, two as passenger and general cargo terminals, and one as a cold-storage terminal. The town of Sitka owns a float which is open for public use for mooring and servicing small craft. The United .States Navy owns six facilities, and the Army Transport Service owns three, which are used in connection with military opera- tions. The remaining are used for industrial purposes. These facili- ties are considered adequate for existing ocean commerce, but small- boat moorings are inadequate and poorly sheltered. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is 14 percent complete. Indian Rock and an isolated boulder were removed and the channel on the easterly side of Harbor Rock was completed in 1937. The project depth was available in the channel in 1940. The work re- maining to be done is to construct breakwaters and dredge a basin in Crescent Bay. The costs and expenditures have been $64,797.04 for new work and $3,868.34 for maintenance, a total of $68,665.38.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with for original project. In accordance with the provisions of the Riven and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, local interests are to give assurances satisfactory to the Secre- tary of War that they will revise and extend the present mooring float system in the harbor in conformity with a plan that will ultimately provide accommodations for approximately 330 small boats at one time in the dredged area. Compliance with these provisions will be obtained prior to construction. Terminal facilities.-Thereare eight wharves and one float in Peters- burg Harbor. One privately 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 moor- ing and servicing small craft. All of the other wharves are used for industrial purposes. These facilities are adequate, except that ad- ditional moorings are required for small boats. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 52 percent complete. The original dredging was completed in 1937. Project depths were available in 1939. The work remaining to be done is to dredge an extension to the original small-boat basin. The costs and expenditures have been $88,386.84 from Federal funds and $8,000 from contributed funds, a total of $96,386.84, all for new work. Proposed operations.-Nofunds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1948. The sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for a condition survey.

Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.-The terminal facilities at Petersburg, the only port 'in the narrows, include eight 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 2554 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 owned float is open for public use for mooring and servicing small craft. All of the other wharves are used for industrial purposes. These facilities are adequate for the vessels benefited by the improve- ment of Wrangell Narrows. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Definite project report and plans and specifications were completed; and a 2-year continuing contract was awarded for accomplishing a portion of the dredging and rock removal required to obtain authorized dimensions in the project channel. Office work in connection with a condition survey made the previous year was completed. The costs were $8,195.75 for new work and $28.59 for maintenance, a total of $8,224.34. The expenditures were $8,488.41. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 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 have been $598,790.38 for new work, including $136,- 736.74 from Public Works funds, and $209,127.77 for maintenance, a total of $807,918.15. The expenditures have been $807,166.80. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, $491,412.83, will be applied to accounts payable, $751.35, and to com- mencement of the additional dredging authorized by the act of March 2, 1945.

STIKINE RIVER, ALASKA Location. Stikine River rises in northwestern Canada and flows in a southwesterly direction through Canada for about 200 miles, then approximately 30 miles westerly across the.Panhandle of Alaska to Sumner Strait. The mouth of the river is on the coast of the mainland approximately 3 miles north of Wrangell. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8201.) Existing 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 docu- ment contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation.-None required. 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Contract snagging was deferred because of high water conditions, and there were no costs or expenditures. 766707-48-pt. 1, vol. 2-77 2556 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Condition at end of fiscal year.-High-water conditions made snag- ging unnecessary during the fiscal year. The costs and expenditures to June 30, 1947, have been $4,757.10, all for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, $2,- 392.90, together with $700 allotted in fiscal year 1948, a total of $3,092.90, will be applied to maintenance, removing snags between the mouth of the river and the Canadian border, by contract, during the fall of 1947 and the spring of 1948. The additional sum of $1,500 can be profitably expended for similar work during the fiscal year 1949.

WRANGELL HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-Wrangell Harbor is located on the west side of the northern end of Wrangell Island, 824 miles from Seattle and 160 miles from Juneau. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8164, 8161, and 8201.) Existing project.-This provides for constructing a rubble-mound breakwater 300 feet long to protect the southern portion of the harbor, and dredging a mooring basin 600 feet long, 400 feet wide, and 10 feet deep below mean lower low water within the protected area; for an inner basin in the tide-flat area east of Shakes Island and a con- necting channel from the existing mooring basin, all at a depth of RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2557 10 feet at mean lower low water; and for constructing a rock-mound breakwater 320 feet long on the reef north of Shakes Island. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 16.2 feet. The extreme tidal range is 26 feet. Heavy swells, dangerous to small fishing boats, are caused by the wind, which causes an ad- ditional rise of about 1 foot. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $380,000. The latest (1939) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Sept. 22, 1922 Breakwater 300 feet long to protect southern.portion H.

Local cooperation.-In accordance with the provisions of the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, local interests are to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will, within 12 months after completion of the basin, install sufficient floats and moorings to accommodate 200 small boats at one time in the dredged areas and will, when required by the Secretary of War, install facilities for an additional 200 boats in the existing basin. The necessary assurances are contained in resolution of the town of Wrangell dated January 14,1946, approved by the Secretary of War March 25, 1946. Terminal facilities.-There are five wharves and four floats in Wrangell Harbor. Two privately owned wharves serving general cargo and passenger terminals, one of which includes a cold-storage facility, are open for public use. The remaining wharves serve various industrial purposes. Two of the four floats are publicly owned and are open for public use for mooring and servicing small craft, and two privately owned floats serve oil-handling facilities. Additional mooring floats to accommodate 200 small boats are required. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 32 percent complete. Point Shekesti breakwater was completed in 1926. The original basin was completed in 1936. The work remaining to be done is to dredge the inner basin and construct the breakwater north of Shakes Island. The costs have been $91,020.98 for new work and $1,296.63 for maintenance, a total of $92,317.61. The expenditures have been $92,317.61. Proposedoperations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1948.

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, 1947, have been $43,336.92 for new work and $1,195,485.40 for maintenance, a total of $1,238,822.32. The total expenditures have been $1,239,778.21. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, $7,- 811.66, together with accounts receivable, $955.89, and $87,000 allotted in fiscal year 1948, a total of $95,767.55, will be applied to maintenance by operation of the U. S. snag boat TV. 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2563 Existing project.--This provides for (a) dredging a channel known as Whatcom Creek waterway from deep water to the head of the harbor, 363.2 feet wide, 26 feet deep at mean lower low water for the outer 3,800 feet, and 18 feet deep for the inner 1,300 feet; (b) for Squalicum Creek waterway, including dredging an entrance channel 200 feet wide and 26 feet deep from deep water in the bay to the main pierhead line, maintenance of the southerly half and westerly end of 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 Bellingham in 1934 to a crest height of 14 feet, provided that no dredging 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, is $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.

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 southeasterly direction; and by extending the easterly end 350 feet in a southeasterly direction with contact piling and stone, and an additional 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 oceangoing 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. 2564 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Operationsand results during fiscal year.-There were no operations except office work in connection with surveys. The costs were $73.63, all for maintenance. The expenditures were minus $474.69. Conditionat 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 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, 1947, have been $112,- 013.16 for new work and $68,200.70 for maintenance, a total of $180,213.86. The expenditures have been $180,213.86. Proposed operations.-Fundsunexpended June 30, 1917, $1,625.62, will be applied to condition surveys in August 1947. The additional sum of $20,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance dredging by contract in Squalicum Creek and Whatcom Creek waterways during October 1948.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2565 18. SWINOMISH SLOUGH, WASHINGTON 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, 6376, 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,C00.

For latest published map, see H. Doe. 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.-Project depth was re- stored in those sections of the project channel over which the depth at mean lower low water was 9 feet or less, by removal, under con- tract, during the period January 20 to March 20, 1947, of 343,872 cubic yards of material at a cost of $135,238.96. Condition survey of portion of channel not dredged was completed in April 1947 at a cost of $2,454.03. The total costs were $137,692.99, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $137,931.15. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1937. The dikes are in good condition. In 1947, the controlling depth at mean lower low water within the dredged channel was 5.6 feet, but a least depth of 9 feet was available over a width of 80 feet by utilizing a natural channel just outside of the controlling shoal. 2566 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 The costs to June 30, 1947, have been $409,029.51 for new work and $539,740.31 for maintenance, a total of $948,769.82. The expendi- tures have been $948,908.12. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, $11,000.79, together with accounts receivable, $153.51, and $70,000 allotted in fiscal year 1948, a total of $81,154.30, will be applied to ac- counts payable, $15.21, and to maintenance dredging by hired labor, September to December 1947. The additional sum of $50,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance dredging by contract or hired labor, September to December 1948.

Location.-On the south side of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, 5 miles east of Cape Flattery, at the entrance to the strait from the Pacific Ocean, and about 60 miles west of Port Angeles, Wash. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6102, 6265, and 6266.) Existing project.-This provides for a rubblestone breakwater ap- proximately 8,000 feet long between Waadah Island and the westerly shore of the bay. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.2 feet. The extreme range is 15.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work revised in 1941, is $2,100,000. The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 51, 75th Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local' cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are six wharves at Neah Bay, including three owned by the United States which are used by the Coast Guard, and three privately owned wharves, two of which are open to general public use to accommodate small commercial fishing vessels and one is not in use. In addition to the wharves, there is a facility for dump- ing and rafting logs. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. For work com- pleted in fiscal year 1946, costs were $100.53. expenditures $69.38. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The breakwater was completed in February 1944. Following repairs completed in June 1946, the struc- ture was in good condition. The costs to June 30, 1947, have been $1,934,482.70 for new work, and $4,880.85 for maintenance, a total of $1,939,363.55. The expenditures have been $1,939,363.55. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, $1,- 136.45, will be applied to a condition survey during June 1948.

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 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 maintenance 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. Doc. 1188, 60th Cong., 2d sess. Mar. 2,1919 Improvement of Skagit City bar_____ H. Doc. 935, 63d Cong., 2d sess. 1 For latest published map, see H. Doc. 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 the 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2569 The review of this report is published in House Document 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-There were no opera- tions except office work in connection with a condition survey. The costs were $131.97, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $286.31. 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. All completed features are 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, 1947, have been $99,829.80 for new work and $34,656 for maintenance, a total of $134,485.80. The expenditures have been $134,485.80. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to increase the depth of Skagit City bar by combined dredging operations and training walls, and extend the training dike 5,550 feet to its authorized length of 16,000 feet. Proposedoperations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, $601.81, together with an anticipated allotment of $1,000, a total of $1.601.81, will be applied to completion of studies to determine the feasibility of restoring existing structures with the view of increasing navigable depths, and to restoration of one of the authorized slough closures, by hired labor, during August 1947. No additional funds are required for the fiscal year 1949, as no operations are proposed.

EVERETT HARBOR, WASH. Location.-On Port Gardner Bay, at the northern end of Possession Sound, an arm of Puget Sound, 30 miles north of Seattle and 45 miles south of Bellingham. (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, 1891, 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 2574 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 mean lower low water; for a settling basin with a capacity of about 200,000 cubic yards, 1,200 feet long, 700 feet wide, and 12 feet deep at mean lower low water, in the upper harbor in the vicinity of the Fourteenth Street dock; and for a channel throughout that portion of the lower harbor known as east waterway 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and generally 900 feet wide. The length of channel improvement under this project is 2.5 miles. The extreme tidal range is about 19 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.1 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1938, was $338,246, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1938) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance of the entire project is $16,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 Training dike 10,500 feet long extending across the bar H.

Doc. 546, 75th Cong., 3d sess. vided for the settling basin. (Contains latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Nonerequired. 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.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1940. Dike work was commenced in September 1911 and terminated 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 com- pleted in 1940. Dredging of east waterway has been completed by local interests. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2575 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 ranging from 30 feet to 27.2 feet. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1947, 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, 1947, $4,005.89, together with $56,000 allotted in fiscal year 1948, a total of $60,005.89, will be applied to maintenance dredging in the settling basin and in the channel above the settling basin, by hired labor, dur- ing January and February 1948, and to condition surveys. The additional sum of $50,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance dredging in the settling basin and in the channel below the settling basin, by hired labor, during April and May 1949.

Location.-The Columbia River rises in Columbia Lake, British Columbia, at elevation 2,650, flows northwesterly for nearly 200 miles, then southerly through Upper and Lower Arrow Lakes to enter the United States near the northeast corner of the State of Washington. From the international boundary the river flows south 112 miles to a point below the mouth of the Spokane River, then west 100 miles to the mouth of the Okanogan River, passing Grand Coulee Dam and the Foster Creek dam site en route. Swinging south, the river follows the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains for 209 miles to its confluence with Snake River. A few miles below the Snake, it turns sharply westward and flows for 324 miles, forming the Washington- Oregon boundary, to the Pacific Ocean. The works covered by this project are on the Columbia River just upstream from the mouth of Foster Creek, 11/ miles upstream from the town of Bridgeport, Wash., and 51 miles downstream from Grand Coulee Dam. Existing project.-The project provides for a straight concrete grav- ity overflow dam on the Columbia River, 220 feet high, for a power- house with an initial installation of 192.000 kilowatts and an ultimate capacity of 960,000 kilowatts, and an intake of sufficient capacity to utilize future upstream storage. The dam site is 545 miles upstream from the mouth of the Columbia River. The total estimated Federal cost of construction of the project is $172,000,000. Annual operation and maintenance will range from $880,000 for the first 3 units to $1,620,000 for 15 units. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. 693, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Nonerequired. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preparationof the basis of design for the project, including work on foundation exploration, laboratory studies, and design studies, was initiated. The costs were $33,704 94, all for new work. The expenditures were $31,232.69. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The basis of design is 10 percent complete. No work has been done on project plans and specifications. The costs have been $33,704.94, all for new work. The expenditures have been $31,232.69. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, $18,- 767.31, will be applied to accounts payable, $2,472.25, and to continu- ation of the program of investigation of leakage in the right abutment. The allotment of $550,000 in fiscal year 1948 will be utilized for work on the basis of design, including continuation of the program of investigation of leakage in the right abutment, and preparation of plans and specifications for construction of access facilities. The sum of $700,000 can be profitably expended on new work during the fiscal year 1949 for completion of basis of design and continuation of project plans and specifications.

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. 2578 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with, including agreement to repair any breach in the sand spit north of James Island. Terminal facilities.-There are four terminals at La Push; of these, three privately owned are open to public use to accommodate small commercial fishing vessels, and one owned by the United States is used as a Coast Guard station. These facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Restoration of the dike was accomplished by placing 2,425 cubic yards of rock during August and September 1946, by hired labor, at a cost of $12,494.13. A condi- tion survey of the entrance channel, dike and jetty was made in June 1947 at a cost of $769.88. The total costs were $13,264.01, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $12,661.34. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was substan- tially completed in 1931, omitting the groins, which do not appear necessary or desirable. Some deterioration has occurred in the jetty. The dike is in good condition. An examination in June 1947 showed the controlling depth of the entrance channel to be 6 feet over a width of 80 feet. The total costs from regular funds to June 30, 1947, have been $68,000 for new work and $97,822.19 for maintenance, a total of $165,822.19. The expenditures have been $165,073.31.

LAKE WASHINGTON SHIP CANAL, WASH. Location.-This improvement lies entirely within the city of Seattle and extends from Puget Sound through Shilshole Bay, Salmon Bay, Lake Union, Portage Bay, and Union Bay to deep water in Lake Wash- ington. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6447.) Previous projects.-The original project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894, provided for dredging Salmon Bay and the improvement of the waterway connecting the waters of Puget Sound, at Salmon Bay, with Lakes Union and Washington, by en- larging the said waterway into a ship canal, with necessary locks and appliances. The project as modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902, provided for dredging a low-water channel 10 feet in depth from Shilshole Bay through Salmon Bay to the wharves at Ballard; and for the appointment of a board of engineers to make investigations for constructing a canal, over alternate routes, with necessary locks and dams. For further details see page 2003, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1880, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a double lock and fixed dam with movable crest and necessary accessory works at the Narrows at the entrance to Salmon Bay, approximately 11/4 miles from deep water in Puget Sound; for a channel 34 feet deep at mean lower low water and 300 feet wide from Puget Sound to the Great Northern Railway bridge, about 5,500 feet, with a passing basin 34 feet deep and log 2580 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 basin 8 feet deep at the turn below the railway bridge; thence 34 feet deep and 150 to 200 feet wide to the locks, about 900 feet; and a guide pier 600 feet long; for the revetment of the canal banks between the locks and Lake Union and between Lakes Union and Washington; and for a channel 30 feet deep with a width of 100 feet from the locks to Lake Union, 200 feet thence to Portage Cut, 100 feet through Portage Cut, and thence 200 feet wide through Union Bay to Lake Wash- ington.

The length of section included in this project is about 8 miles. The extreme tidal range is 19.3 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.3 feet, and between mean lower low water and extreme low water is 4.5 feet. The ordinary fluctuation in the upper pool is approximately 16 inches and the extreme fluctuation is 2 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1935, was $3,555,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1943) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $140,700, of which $81,000 is for operating and care of locks and dam. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents For a double lock and fixed dam with movable crest and necessary accessory works at the entrance to June 25, 1910 Salmon Bay; dredging a channel from the locks to H.

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 Corps of Engineers, 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 pur- poses; and 2 are not in use. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The locks were operated throughout the year and ordinary repairs were made thereto and to the appurfenant structures as required, all work being done by hired labor. An option was obtained to purchase 0.049 acre of land to provide access to city streets from south boundary of lock site. Steel sheet piling for providing foundations for one section of Portage Cut revetments were ordered. Bids for installing the piling were opened, but award of contract was held in abeyance. A contract was awarded for constructing a public comfort station at the lock site. The costs were $271,077.71, all for operations and care. The expenditures were $269,352.48. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1934. The water between the locks and Lake Washington is nontidal and is maintained between elevation 20 feet and 22 feet above 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 appur- tenances, some in service for almost 30 years, show continued need for improvement and reconstruction. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1947, have been $3,539,294.87 for new work, including $192,516.44 Public Works funds, $108,379.38 for maintenance, and $1,990,712.25 for operation and care, a total of $5,638,386.50. The expenditures have been $5,634,323.58. In addition, the sum of $1,631,195.33 was expended between 1916 and 1936 on the operating and care of the works of improvement, under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. In addition, there was expended by the State of Washington $246,- 567.07, and by King County, $742,070.51 in the excavation of the channel above the locks and in construction of concrete revetment at the portage. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, $31,- 078.68, together with accounts receivable, $200.46 and an allotment of $317,900, made in fiscal year 1948, a total of $349,179.14, will be applied to maintenance (operating and care) as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947- _ __ $4, 263. 38 Operation of locks and dam_- -- - ------ 150, 000. 00 2582 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2583 28. SEATTLE HARBOR, WASH. Location.-This harbor includes all waterways within the city limits of Seattle. The chief anchorage basin is Elliott Bay, an arm of Puget Sound, 30 miles north of Tacoma. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6449.) Existing project.-This provides for maintenance of the east and west waterways to a depth of 34 feet at mean lower low water, with a width of 750 feet for distances of 6,500 and 5,200 feet, respectively, from the pierhead line in Elliott Bay; for the maintenance of east waterway between the upper end of the 750-foot section and Spokane Street, 34 feet deep, 700 feet long, and 400 feet wide, and of a turning basin, including the head of the east waterway at the junction of the waterways south of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Rail- road bridge, to a depth of 30 feet, after these sections of the waterway have been dredged by local interests to full project dimensions; and for dredging the Duwamish waterway 200 feet wide and 30 feet deep at mean lower low water between the west waterway and First Avenue South, 150 by 20 feet between First and Eighth Avenues South, thence 150 by 15 feet to a point about 1.4 miles above Fourteenth Avenue South Bridge, with a turning basin 600 by 350 feet and 20 feet deep just south of the First Avenue South Bridge, and a turning basin 500 by 250 feet and 15 feet deep and settling basin with a capacity of about 100,000 cubic yards at the upper end of the waterway, a dis- tance of 27,060 feet, or 5.12 miles. The total length of waterways included under the project is about 71/2 miles. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.3 feet. The extreme tidal range is 19.3 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1942, is $259,670, in- cluding $79,333 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1935) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $4,750 for the east waterway, $6,000 (revised in 1928) for the west waterway, and $48,000 (made in 1922) for the Duwamish waterway.

Terminal facilities.-Thereare 97 wharves and piers on Seattle Har- bor, exclusive of those given in the report for Lake Washington Ship 2584 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Canal. Fifty-two are located on Elliott Bay, 19 on east waterway, 15 on west waterway, 8 on Duwamish waterway, and 3 on Puget Sound near the northern limits of the port. Of these, 20 general cargo ter- minals and 1 grain terminal are open for public use; 8 of the former and the latter are publicly owned. The remaining 76 serve various industrial purposes, with the exception of 8 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.--Maintenance dredging totaling 12,219 cubic yards was accomplished under contract at the head of east waterway; and a condition survey was made of Duwamish waterway above Fourteenth Avenue South. The costs were $9,728.90, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $9,656.47. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed 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 water- way, 34 feet except along the edges and over two shoals near the cen- ter line of the channel opposite the Lander Street terminal and oppo- site Isaacson 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 waterway, in December 1945 and January 1946. The controlling dimensions 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 Ave- nue South in January 1946; and 15 feet by 110 feet from Fourteenth Avenue South for a distance of 3,900 feet; thence 10 feet by 150 feet for 2,000 feet; thence 10 feet by 75 feet to the head of the waterway, with a least depth of 1.4 feet in the turning basin, in July 1946. Local interests have practically completed dredging of east waterway above the 750-foot section and of the turning basin at the junction of the waterways to 30 feet. The costs from Federal funds to June 30, 1947, have been $170,- 334.74 for new work and $412,048.86 for maintenance, a total of $582,- 383.60; and the expenditures have been $582,383.60. In addition, $69,332.64 has been expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.--The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, $3,- 640.23, will be applied to condition surveys as required.

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. 6407.) Previous projects.--The project for the Puyallup waterway, pro- viding 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. The project providing for maintenance of a channel in Wapato waterway, 700 feet wide and 34 feet deep over such length as shall have been dredged by local interests to dimensions stated, was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, and superseded by the existing project for that waterway adopted March 2, 1945. For further details, see page 1702 of Annual Report for 1944. Existing project.-This provides for (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 vary- ing 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) construc- tion 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 pier- head lines or lateral limits of the waterway, nor 100 feet from the northerly line of East Eleventh Street. 2586 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with, except for Wapato water- way, the improvement of which is subject to the provisions that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable spoil- disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance as re- quired, and contribute $40,000 toward the initial cost. The Port of Tacoma was advised of the foregoing requirements on December 30, 1946; and in reply of December 31, 1946, stated it would provide dis- posal areas, but did not feel justified in contributing $40,000 toward the initial cost. 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.-Maintenance dredging totaling 25,669 cubic yards was accomplished on Hylebos waterway by contract at a cost of $15,405.33. A condition survey was made of City waterway at a cost of $1,017.56, and of the training walls at the mouth of Puyallup waterway at a cost of $913.41. Total costs, all for maintenance, were $17,336.30. The expenditures were $17,631.81. 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 $150,544.39 for maintenance, a total of $300,562.97, not including $5,000 expended for maintenance from contribluted funds. The depths available, except along the sides RIVER$ AND TIARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2587 of the waterway, as determined in May 1947, were as follows: 27.8 feet from Commencement Bay to South Eleventh Street, 20.7 feet from South Eleventh Street to South Fourteenth Street, and 18.3 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 $27,682.10 for maintenance, a total of $240,183.70. Surveys completed in November 1945 and October 1946 showed depths as follows: 29.7 feet over a width of 200 feet from deep water in Commencement 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 27.6 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 mainte- nance costs, all for surveys, have been $2,669.70, a total of $54,278.82. On April 4, 1943, a slide destroyed the east training wall. The depth at its outer end is now 102 feet. The west wall is in good condition. No work has been done by the Government on the existing project for 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 west- erly margin of the waterway for about 1,800 feet; and a channel 200 feet wide with a minimum depth of 20.7 feet extending southerly along the easterly margin of the waterway. The waterway has since been 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. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1947, have been $414,129.30 for new work, including $51,609.12 Public Works funds, and $181,827.56 for maintenance, a total of $595,956.86, not including $5,000 contributed funds for maintenance. The expenditures have been $596,245.51. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, $2,337.14, together with accounts receivable, $288.65, a total of $2 625.79, will be applied to condition surveys of the several waterways as required. The additional sum of $50,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance dredging in Hylebos and City waterways, by contract, during March and April 1949.

OLYMPIA HARBOR, WASH. Location.-This harbor is near the southern end of Puget Sound at the head of Budd Inlet, about 45 miles southwest of Tacoma. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6462.) Previous projects.--The original project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892, provided for a channel on the east side of the harbor 250 feet wide and 12 feet deep from vicinity of Fourth Street Bridge to deep water in Budd Inlet, with a turning basin 500 feet wide at the inner end. The River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910, modified and extended the project to provide for a channel on the west side of the harbor 200 feet wide and 12 feet deep from deep water to a point 1,900 feet south of the west side waterway, with a turning basin at its inner end 800 feet long and a maximum width of 400 feet. For further details see page 1369 of Annual Report for 1934 and page 1873 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.--This provides for a channel between deep water in Budd Inlet and the port terminal, 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and 500 feet wide, with suitable additional width at the bend, and a turning basin adjacent to the port terminal 30 feet deep, 3,350 feet long, and 500 to 960 feet wide. The extreme tidal range is 22.5 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 14.4 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1946, is $447,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1940) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500.

Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitably bulkheaded areas for the retention of dredged materials, when and as required. The Port of Olympia was advised of these requirements December 30, 1946. 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-A survey was made, and plans and specifications were initiated for maintenance dredging. The costs were $1,088.48, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,400.38. 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 June 1947, controlling depths in the completed section were as follows: 29.3 feet in the outer channel; 28.7 feet and 27.1 feet, respectively, in the west and east halves of the entrance channel; and 26.6 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 under the existing project to June 30, 1947, have been $259,919.33 for new work, including $105,467 Public Works funds, and $2,906.54 for maintenance, a total of $262,825.87: The expenditures were $263,137.77. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1947, $2,599.62, together with accounts receivable, $311.90, and an allotment of $67,000.00, a total of $69,911.52, will be applied to maintenance dredging by contract during August and September 1947. The additional sum of $3,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for condition surveys. 2590 REPORT OF CHIIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2591 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 and 350 feet wide from deep water in Grays Harbor to the Port of Grays Harbor Commission terminal, a distance of 131/4 miles; thence 26 feet deep and 200 to 350 feet wide to the Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen, a distance of 214 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, 9.9 feet at Aberdeen, and 8.1 feet at Montesano. The extreme range is 15 feet at Point Chehalis, 18.1 feet at Aberdeen, and 23.8 feet at Montesano (river flood of 1935). The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $3,229,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and of Navy funds expended on deepening from 26 feet to 30 feet the channel from deep water in Grays Harbor to the Port of Grays Harbor Com- mission terminal, but inclusive of $211,500 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance dredging in the section below Aberdeen is $270,000. Local interests are to maintain the work above Aberdeen.

ARMY, 1947 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 require- ment that local interests shall pay one-half the first cost of enlarging the channel between Cosmopolis and Montesano, and further provides that the Grays Harbor Port Commission shall continue to remove all snags and deadheads from the channels, shall furnish free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material as and when needed, and shall assist in the work of maintenance by loaning to the United States, when not required on the work of the commission, its pipe-line dredge without charge other than reimburse- ment to the Port of Grays Harbor Commission for the operating costs of the dredge on a basis approved by the Chief of Engineers, and maintain the channel above the Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aber- deen. 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 cost of $162,000. Terminal facilities.-There are 28 wharves and piers on Grays Har- bor and adjacent inland waters: 1 general cargo terminal, 9 sawmill wharves, 1 pulp- and paper-mill wharf, 7 fish wharves, 8 miscellaneous industrial wharves, and 2 not in use. One general cargo wharf and two fish wharves are publicly owned and open to public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Surveys were made by the U. S. survey boat Mamala at a cost of $34,049.70; and dredging was done in the 30-foot channel below Aberdeen, including 126,935 cubic yards removed from the Cross-Over channel, 218,014 cubic yards removed from Sand Island Shoal, and 3,816 cubic yards removed from the Chehalis River at Aberdeen, by the U. S. dredges Hyde and Michie at a cost of $67,419.46, and 259,441 cubic yards removed from the North channel by the leased dredge Robert Gray at a cost of $49,959.33. Pro- ceeds from sale of lands acquired for original construction of the south jetty totaled $561. The total costs from regular funds, for mainte- nance, were $151,428.49, and -$561 for new work. The expenditures were $152,226.24. 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 1947, the inner 9,000 feet of the RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2593 reconstructed jetty were at grade, the next 2,756 feet showed sub- sidence 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 immediately north of the jetty was occurring, the Point Chehalis beach having cut back about 1,000 feet since 1936. The north jetty was com- pleted to midtide elevation in December 1913. It was later 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 reconstructed westward from the high-water line, the inner 7,760 feet being raised to a crest elevation of +20 feet and the remainder to an elevation of + 30 feet. The remainder of the north jetty has not been restoried. 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 June 1947, showed that sea action had leveled the outer 325 feet, and had breached the sand spit at the shore end, exposing old jetty rock to the east. The 26-foot channel previously dredged by the Port of Grays Harbor 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 Cos- mopolis 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 150 feet (30 by 1,000 feet outside of established range) (April 1947); deep water in lower harbor to port terminal, 29 feet over a width of 200 feet (March 1947) ; port terminal to Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen, 24.8 feet over a width of 200 feet (February 1947); Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aber- deen 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 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. 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 Willap 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 2596 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 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 1947, is $788,300, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and exclusive of $71,775 contributed by local interests. The latest (1939) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $136,000, including $5,000 annually for the first 4 years of the cut-off channel at the Narrows.

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. The port of Willapa Harbor was advised of the foregoing requirements on December 30, 1946, and gave assurances of full compliance. 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 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 $16,912.21, all for maintenance. Dredging was done in Willapa River and in Willapa Bay, including 67,890 cubic yards removed from North River shoal and 31,665 cubic yards removed from Toke Point shoal by the U. S. hopper dredge James F. C. Hyde at a cost of $25,921.95; and 211,720 cubic yards removed from the river below South Bend under RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2597 contract at a cost of $80,212.81. The total costs, including $178.21 outstanding from fiscal year 1946 operations, were $123,225.18, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $182,245.59. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1936 except for the channel from Palix River to Bay Center. The dike at the head of Mailboat slough has subsided and is ineffective. A survey completed in May 1947 showed a controlling depth of 25 feet over a width of 750 feet across the bar. The controlling depths in the inner channels were as follows: Below forks at Raymond, 23 feet over width of 150 feet (May 1947); lower 2,200 feet of North Fork, 24 feet over width of 70 feet, and lower 1,700 feet of South Fork, 23.7 feet over width of 150 feet (June 1946). There has been no navigation in the upper portions of the forks, and no soundings have been taken in recent years. The total costs of the existing project to June 30, 1947, have been as follows: Funds New work Maintenance Total Regular_- . .. ------ $521, 957. 42 .--------------------------------- $1,428, 577. 15 $1,950, 534. 57 Public W orks --.. --- . ---........ ------ ----------- - 78, 533.00 78, 533. 00 Emergency Relief_- ----- 192, 314.06 314.06 192, ---------......................................

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.--The plan of improvement provides for (1) res- toration 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 adja- cent 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. FLOOD CONTROL-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2605 The estimates of costs, made in 1947, are $534,000 for new work and $10,000 annually for maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved July 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. 695, 79th Cong., 2d sess.) This document contains the latest published map. 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 mainte- nance of the project dike and breakwater extension thereof, contribute $500 annually toward maintenance of the reconstructed and extended city dike and harbor breakwater. Local interests have not been advised of the foregoing requirements. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been accomplished, and there have been no costs or expenditures. Proposedoperation.-The allotment of $30,000, made in August 1947, will be expended during the fiscal year 1948 for preparation of detailed plans. The sum of $504,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for the continuation of advance planning and for construc- tion of the project Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1947 .--------.. --.... - --.. - - .

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. 2606 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 The project was authorized by the act approved June 18, 1934, Public, 388, Seventy-third Congress (H. Doc. 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.-None. The costs for work completed the previous year were - $335.56, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $908.70. In addition, costs and expenditures from contributed funds amounted to $800. Condition at end of fscal 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 $9,246.65 for maintenance, a total of $43,477.85. The ex- penditures have been $43,477.85. In addition, $7,000 has been expended from contributed funds for new work and $2,000 for maintenance. Proposedoperations.-The Federal funds unexpended June 30, 1947, $11,999.60, will be applied to repairs to the dike, by hired labor, during June 1948. No operations are proposed and no additional funds are required for the fiscal year 1949.

S. ARMY, 1947 39. 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 Stillaguamish, Wash.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for works to reduce bank erosion and channel changes on Stillaguamish River be- tween 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. Tidal influence extends about 3 miles into 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. 657, 71st Cong., 3d sess.). This document contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Surveys were made and plans and specifications prepared for repair of revetments. The costs, including $2,137.88 for operations completed the previous year, were $4,008.43, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $7,218.65. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. Progressive deterioration of revetments necessitates annual repair of critical points. Other features are in good condi- tion. 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 $9,070 for maintenance, a total of $229,663.98. The expenditures have been $229,811.37. Proposed operations.-The funds uhexpended June 30, 1947, $25,782.61, together with accounts receivable, $147.39, a total of $25,930, will be applied to maintenance, repairing revetment by contract, July to October 1947. The additional sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for repair of revetments.

TACOMA, PUYALLUP RIVER, WASH. Location.--The Puyallup River has its source in the glaciers on the western slopes of Mount Rainier in the State of Washington, flows northwesterly 50 miles, and empties into Commencement Bay, an arm of Puget Sound, at Tacoma, Wash. The work covered by this project is on Puyallup River, within the city limits of Tacoma. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6407.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for a channel with a capacity of 50,000 second-feet between the East Eleventh Street Bridge and the lower end of the intercounty improvement, a distance of about 2.2 miles, by straightening the channel, building levees, re- vetting the channel and levees, and making all necessary bridge changes. The Eleventh Street Bridge at the lower end of the project is 0.75 mile above the mouth of the Puyallup River. The diurnal tidal range at the mouth of the river is 11.8 feet and the extreme range is 20 feet. The improvement was planned in conjunction with Mud Moun- tain Dam and is designed to afford protection against floods about 50 percent greater than the maximum discharge of record. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1947, is $3,600,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. (See Senate committee print, "Puyallup River, Wash.," 74th Cong., 2d sess.) Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The program of con- struction has required the separation of the levee and channel improve- 2610 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 ment works from the bridge reconstruction work of the project. In addition, minor work by utilities companies and railroad companies is covered in other contracts and agreements. The contract for recon- struction of the bridges was awarded and work was started June 23, 1947, on reconstruction of the East Eleventh Street Bridge. The costs were $33,258.22, all for new work. The expenditures were $39,943.61. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work on reconstruction of bridges has been initiated. Plans and specifications for the channel improve- ment work were 32 percent complete.

MUD MOUNTAIN DAM, WHITE RIVER, WASH. Location.-The White River rises on the northeastern slope of Mount Rainier, in the State of Washington, flows in a general north- westerly direction for 57 miles to its confluence with the Puyallup River. The White is the principal tributary of the Puyallup River and enters the Puyallup 10 miles above its mouth in Puget Sound at Tacoma, Wash. The works covered by this project are on White River near Mud Mountain, 6 miles southeast of Enumclaw, Wash. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic sheet "Cedar Lake quad- rangle, Washington.") Existing proyect.-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 dam is located 28 miles above the con- fluence of the White and Puyallup Rivers and 38 miles above the mouth of the Puyallup River. The reservoir to be created will store approximately 106,000 acre-feet. Outlet works are located in the right abutment and permit controlled discharge of 16,000 second-feet through two concrete-lined tunnels, with uncontrolled discharge through a spillway having a maximum capacity of 139,000 second- feet. The improvement is designed to afford flood protection to the White and Puyallup River Valleys and to protect the Tacoma indus- trial district in conjunction with the authorized project at that lo- cality 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. (See 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.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. 2612 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Operations and results during fiscal year.-The new work costs of $52,097.98 included work on fabrication and installation of penstocks for the 23-foot tunnel under contract; and surveys, planning, and plans and specifications for completion of the project by hired labor. The cost of maintenance was $83,202.12, all by hired labor, includ- ing operation, ordinary maintenance and repairs, improvement and reconstruction, fish haul, drift removal, and maintenance and opera- tion of gages. The total costs were $135,300.10. The expenditures were $134,- 442.77. Control of floods during the year was limited to that resulting from unregulated flow past the constriction plug in the 23-foot tunnel, and from manipulation 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 could be stored. In December 1946,.the White River reached its highest flood stage since completion of the dam. Operating automatically, the dam re- duced an inflow of 24,700 second-feet to a discharge of 12,200 second- feet, preventing serious flood damages in the valley downstream. A maximum of 15,400 acre-feet, only 14 percent of its capacity, was stored in the reservoir. The maximum elevation of the pool was 1,063.6 feet above mean sea level, which is 168.6 feet above river level and 151.4 feet below spillway level. Other periods during which water was stored were as follows: October 1946, 2,435 acre-feet; November 1946, 1,816 acre-feet; January 1947, 3,172 acre-feet; Feb- ruary 1947, 2,009 acre-feet; March 1947, 1,413 acre-feet; April 1947, 1,816 acre-feet; May 1947, 2,500 acre-feet; June 1947, 1,755 acre-feet. During the fiscal year, 7,203 migratory fish were hauled around the dam in tank trucks. The removal of drift material was a major operating problem. Approximately 25,000 cords of drift material were collected, of which 1,050 cords were disposed of by burning. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is practically complete. The dam embankment and concrete-lined spillway (315 feet wide at crest, 1,100 feet long) have been completed. The 9-foot tunnel (1,801 feet long) has been completed, but minor modifications are required to the control works. The 23-foot tunnel (1,991 feet long) has been completed with the exception of the valve house, outlet valves, and penstocks. A contract to complete the necessary work in the 23-foot tunnel is under way. The location for the permanent fishway has been established at the site of the present temporary facili- ties near Buckley, Wash., and plans and specifications for construction are 17 percent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project con- sists of the completion of tunnel work, including access to the 23-foot tunnel.valve house, construction of fish-handling facilities, reservoir clearing near intake structure, installation of auxiliary power supply, exploratory drilling and investigation of permeability of right canyon wall of the reservoir, completion of reservoir and sedimentation sur- vey, removal of rock from the canyon wall, installation of radio- FLOOD CONTROL-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2613 reporting equipment, landscaping, and construction of permanent administrative and recreational facilities at the site. The costs to June 30, 1947, have been $11,342,370.46 from regular funds and $26,000 from Emergency Relief funds, a total of $11,368,- 370.46 for new work and $334,246.68 for maintenance, a combined total of $11,702,617.14. The expenditures have been $11,671,388.63 from regular funds and $26,000 from Emergency Relief funds, a total of $11,697,388.63.

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 estimate 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.

Terminal facilities.-The United States Government controls ter- minal facilities for use of the United States Army ground forces, Pacific, the United States Navy, and the Corps of Engineers, Depart- ment of the Army. The terminal facilities owned by the Territorial government are administered by the Territorial Board of Harbor Com- missioners 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 private interests. Six of the thirty-nine 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-HONOLULU, T. H., DISTRICT 2629 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 necessary 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 termi- nal 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 contemplated at present. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenanceoperations accomplished by hired labor with regular funds consisted of the following: 1. Hydrographic survey, completed August 1946 at a cost of $4,128.71. 2. Repairs to harbor light revetment, Sand Island, completed during January 1947 at a cost of $598.18. 3. Hydrographic survey started on June 23, 1947, and incomplete on June 30, 1947, at a cost of $124.45. The total cost and expenditures for the year were $4,851.34. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. The controlling depth in July 1946 was 39 feet in the entrance channel and 33 feet in the harbor basin, the reserved channel and. Kapalama Basin. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1947, was $4,325,- 055.02 from regular funds, of which $3,952,363.43 was for new work and $372,691.59 was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $4,325,055.02. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, 2630 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance opera- tions accomplished by hired labor with regular funds consisted of the following: 1. Repair of minor damage to the channelward, inshore end of the west breakwater resulting from tidal wave of April 1, 1946, dur- ing August and September 1946 at a cost of $7,058.81. 2. Hydrographic survey started in May 1947 and incomplete on June 30, 1947, at a cost to date of $1,821.65. 3. Plans and specifications for reconstruction of breakwaters neces- sitated by storm damage of January 3 and 5, 1947, were completed during April 1947 at a cost of $4,099.09. 4. Reconstruction of the east and west breakwaters, severely dam- aged by storm and heavy seas on January 3 and 5, 1947, was started on June 21, 1947. Operations consisted of mobilization of personnel and equipment, construction of a haul road atop the existing portion of the east breakwater, and hauling rock from an adjacent quarry and stockpiling for use in reconstruction of the east breakwater at a cost of $34,299.14. The total cost of maintenance for the fiscal year was $47,278.69, and total expenditures were $42,625.81. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1931. The controlling depth in May 1946 was 35 feet with the ex- ception of a small area along the west project line, where controlling depth was 33 feet. The east and west breakwaters were severely damaged by heavy seas on January 3 to 5, 1947. Damage to the east breakwater con- 2632 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 lower 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.

(For fur- ther details, see Port and Terminal Facilities at the Ports of the Territory of Hawaii, Corps of Engineers, 1941.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenanceoperations accomplished by hired labor with regular funds consisted of the following: 1. Hydrographic survey started during April 1947 and incomplete on June 30, 1947, at a cost to date of $5,087.64. 2634 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 2. Emergency reconstruction of the first three breaks from the shoreward end of the breakwater during the period April to August 1946. This reconstruction provided a continuous section of usable breakwater approximately 4,650 feet in length. 3. Upon completion of emergency reconstruction, quarrying opera- tions at the Hilo Airport quarry were resumed, the rock thus obtained being hauled to the site of work and stockpiled for use in completing reconstruction. 4. Operations for recovery of rock washed from the breakwater into the harbor by the tidal wave of April 1, 1946, were continued throughout the year. 5. Minor repairs to the seaward slope of the reconstructed section of the breakwater, necessary because of storm damage on January 3 to 5, 1947, were completed during February 1947. 6. Reconstruction of the breakwater was resumed on March 1, 1947, 'and on June 30, 1947, was incomplete. A total of 5,415 lineal feet of breakwater has been completed to date, thus affording partial protection to the harbor. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $567,630.33, and expenditures were $660,095.10. Condition at end fiscal year.-The existing project was completed 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 consisted 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 extended above normal water level. Reconstruction of the first four breaks from the shoreward end, and 100 feet of the fifth break, providing a section of the breakwater 5,415 feet in length, was completed on June 30, 1947. Tidal waves on April 1, 1946, inflicted damage to the pier shed of the Territorial owned pier 1 to such an extent as to necessitate removal of the remaining portion of the shed. The Territorial Board of Harbor Commissioners reports that a contract for rebuilding of the pier shed will be awarded during July 1947, as funds are now available for the work. Dredging of slips at piers 1, 2, and 3 is currently being accomplished under contract let by the Board. The total cost to June 30, 1947, was $4,335,656.68 from regular funds, of which $3,408,825.58 was for new work and $926,831.10 for mainte- nance. The total expenditures were $4,265,114.03. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $848,556,58, plus an allotment of $5,000, made during August 1947, a total of $853,556.58, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1947___________ _______________ $16, 376. 01 Maintenance: Hydrographic survey, May 1948_._ --- $5, 000. 00 Complete reconstruction of breakwater, July through December 1947_____________________________ 510, 594. 51 Unallocated balance _ ___________ 321, 586. 06 Total maintenance------- ___ ------ 837, 180. 57 Total for all work--------------- _ 853, 556. 58 RIVERS AND HARBORS-HONOLULU, T.

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 average 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. 609, 62d Cong., 2d sess.). The latest pub- lished map is found in the project document. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The Territory has constructed a concrete wharf, with concrete-steel transit shed and an open wharf in prolonga- tion 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 exist- ing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance operations accomplished by hired labor with regular funds consisted of hydro- graphic survey completed in September 1946 at a cost of $1,856.37. The total cost and expenditures for the year were $1,856.37. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1930. The controlling depth in September 1946 was 32 feet in the harbor basin, and 32 feet in the entrance channel.

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 turn- ing 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 21/2 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. 84, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Terminal facilitses.-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 permanent pier at the same general location for handling cargo. The pier will be ade- quate 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 un- loaded 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 has advised that work performed for the Navy consists of dredging an entrance channel between Wilkes Island and Wake Island, with a turning basin and boat basin for accommoda- tion 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 1948. The sum of $13,670 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949, for a hydrographic survey, September 1 to November 15, 1948.

WELLS 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 seaplane 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 estimated 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. 49, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), which provided for the entrance channel and harbor basin; and Rivers and Harbors Committee Document 9, Seventy-fifth Congress, first session, which provided for the seaplane basin, entrance channel thereto, and the breakwaters. For latest published maps see the project documents. 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 considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations andresults during fiscal year.-None. 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 complete. 2. Seaplane-basin dredging, 100 percent complete. 3. Harbor-basin dredging, 100 percent complete. 4. Construction of breakwater, about 98 percent complete. Concrete cap for the breakwater will be installed by the Navy Department. The United States Navy has advised that the controlling depth in June 1946 was 32 feet in the ship channel, 30 feet in the harbor basin, and 12 feet in the seaplane basin. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1947, 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-HONOLULU, T. H., DISTRICT 2643 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 1948. The additional sum of $10,150 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance work consisting of hydrographic survey, November 1948 to January 1949, by Government plant and hired labor.

SAN JUAN HARBOR, P. R. Location.-The harbor is located on the north coast of Puerto Rico, about 30 miles westward of cape San Juan and 1,150 miles southeast of Jacksonville, Fla. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts No. 908 and 920 and U. S. Navy Hydrographic Office Chart No. 1411.) Previous projects.-Before the American occupation about $647,000 had been expended under the Spanish administration. The original project by the United States was authorized by the River and Harbor- Act of March 2, 1907. For further details see page 2007 of Annual Report for 1915, page 1718 of Annual Report for 1916, and page 1939 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 800 feet wide and 38 feet deep at mean low water across the outer bar, a distance of about 1,700 feet, to the bend in the channel; thence 1,200 feet wide and 30 feet deep at mean low water, narrowing to 1,000 feet wide at the inner harbor, about 4,000 feet distant from the bend; dredging the inner harbor to the same depth over an area of about 329 acres, and extending this depth easterly into the San Antonio Channel for about 3,400 feet with a width of about 1,100 feet at its mouth, narrowing to 600 feet at 1,200 feet from the mouth, and increasing to 800 feet at the easterly end; the removal to a depth of 8 feet at mean low water of Anegado, Largo, and Capitanejo Shoals; construction of a channel about 6,000 feet long and 400 feet wide, 30 feet deep at mean low water, from the existing anchorage to, and including a turning- basin of the same depth, 1,000 feet wide and 2,200 feet long in front of the graving dock in the southeast arm of the harbor; and mainte- nance of a channel about 6,000 feet long and 300 feet wide, 30 feet deep 2649 2650 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 at mean low water, from the graving dock channel to and including a turning basin with an average width of 1,000 feet and a length of about 1,700 feet, in front of the Army terminal, in Pueblo Viejo Bay. The mean tidal range is 1.1 feet and the tide heights vary from about 1 foot below mean low water to about 2.8 feet above mean low water. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1939, is $3,839,000 ex- clusive of amounts expended under previous projects but including $100,000 contributed by local interests. The existing project includes the entrance channel and turning basin to the Army terminal which cost $1,543,711.84. This expenditure was made from military appro- priations and is not included in the estimate hereinbefore stated. The latest estimate, approved 1945, for annual cost of maintenance of the existing project, including the Army terminal channel and turning basin, is $185,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 8,1917 Anchorage area (206 acres) and San Antonio Channel H.

Local cooperation.-Local cooperation required by the River and Harbor Act of October 17, 1940, was approved by the Chief of Engi- neers on January 23, 1941. Local interests are required to furnish suitable bulkheaded disposal areas for subsequent maintenance as it becomes necessary. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 23 piers and bulkhead wharves ca- pable of docking deep-draft vessels; 16 located on the north shore, 3 fronting the graving dock turning basin, and 4 at the Army terminal turning basin, with an aggregate berthing length of approximately 21,000 feet. Ten are publicly owned, 10 are United States Govern- ment property and 3 are owned by the Government of Puerto Rico. Thirteen are open to general public use on equal terms ; 21 are equipped with mechanical transfer facilities; 14 have direct connection with the railroad system. These facilities are considered adequate for ex- isting commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No new work was per- formed. Maintenance removal and disposal of floating debris were RIVERS AND HARBORS-ANTILLES DISTRICT 2651 carried on with Government plant and hired labor; the cost and ex- penditures were $10,816.25. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1942, except for 16,000 cubic yards of rock remaining in the entrance channel that was not removed by the contractor, the contract having been terminated by supplemental agreement. The controlling depths are as follows: Entrance channel, as of Sep- tember 1944, 38 feet for a width of 300 feet along the center of the channel, to the bend; thence 32 feet for a width decreasing from 1,100 feet to 700 feet from the bend to the maneuvering area; 29 feet in the maneuvering area as of October 1944; 29 feet in the anchorage area as of August 1944; 29 feet in San Antonio Channel as of September 1944; 30 feet in the graving dock channel and turning basin as of October 1944; and 28 feet in the Army terminal channel and turning basin as of April 1946.

PONCE HARBOR, P. R. Location.-Ponce Harbor is located on the south central coast of Puerto Rico, southeast, and about 150 miles by water, from San Juan Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 920 and 927.) Existing project.-This provides for a sea wall of an aggregate length of 2,362 feet, extending 2,000 feet along the causeway easterly of the municipal pier and about 362 feet westerly from the municipal pier across a coral reef to deep water in the harbor; a bulkhead sur- mounted by a suitable concrete platform to be constructed under the protection afforded by the sea wall, of an aggregate length of 4,340 feet, 2,870 feet to be designed for water 30 feet in depth and 1,470 feet for water 18 feet in depth; and dredging 2 areas, 30 and 18 feet in depth, channelward of the bulkheads, containing approximately 77 and 47 acres, respectively; also for dredging to a depth of 30 feet at mean low water of an area channelward of a line 100 feet from the faces of the municipal pier, and for construction of a breakwater 2,400 feet long, extending in a southwesterly direction from Carenero Point. The mean tidal range is 0.6 foot and the extreme varies between about 1 foot below mean low water and 2 feet above mean low water. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1942, is $1,298,500, of which $424,539.70 is the cost of work to be undertaken by local in- terests. The latest 1942 approved estimate of annual cost of main- tenance is $44,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS-ANTILLES DISTRICT 2653 Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1925 Present project adopted.... -------------- H. Doc. 532, 67th Cong., 4th sess.

Mar. 2, 1945 Eliminationoftheimprovement of the area for a 9-foot Public Law 14, 79th Cong., 1st sess. depth, and dredging to a depth of 30 feet at mean low water of an area channelward of a line 100 feet from the faces of the municipal pier, and for construc- tion of a breakwater 2,400 feet long. Local cooperation.-The project adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved March 3, 1925, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts approved August 30, 1935, and March 2, 1945, provides that the United States shall return to local interests funds heretofore con- tributed and advanced for dredging under the project authorized in 1925 and shall undertake, without contribution by local interests, the remaining dredging included in the project; and that all other portions of the improvement (bulkhead and sea wall) shall be at the expense of local interests. Under the terms of the project as modified by the acts approved August 30, 1935, and March 2, 1945, local interests are required to construct 2,362 linear feet of sea wall and 4,340 linear feet of concrete bulkhead wharf under plans approved by the War Department. The project is contingent on the condition that the concrete bulkhead shall be completed by necessary stages in ad- vance of the dredging. In addition to the items of local cooperation required by previous acts, the act approved March 2, 1945, requires that local interests construct a rubble mound bulkhead and public landing for small boats and recreational craft, and cede to the War Department a 1-acre plot fronting on the rubble mound bulkhead. These conditions of local cooperation have not been fully complied with. The municipality of Ponce has constructed 1,890 feet of bulk- head wharf of which 390 feet partially failed in August 1931, and prior to modification of the project by the act of August 1935, con- tributed one-half the cost of the construction of 362 feet of sea wall. Terminal facilities.--The municipality of Ponce owns and operates the only deep-draft terminal facilities in Ponce Harbor, which con- sist of a municipal pier 515 feet long and 108 feet wide, and a bulkhead wharf 1,890 feet long. Both are equipped for the transfer and stor- age of freight. The municipal pier has a steel transit shed 386 feet by 85 feet. The bulkhead wharf has two steel storage sheds, one 362 feet by 58 feet and the other 262 feet by 58 feet. The facilities provided in the existing project are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The percentages of completion, based on the physical extent of the work accomplished for the dif- ferent features of the existing project, are as follows: Dredging in the 18-foot project, 0 percent; dredging in the 30-foot project adjacent to the bulkhead wharf, 86.5 percent; dredging in the area serving the 2654 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 municipal pier, 0 percent; total dredging, 54 percent; construction of bulkhead wharf in the 18-foot area, 0 percent; construction of the bulkhead wharf in the 30-foot project, 67 percent; total bulkhead wharf construction, 44 percent; sea-wall construction, 100 percent; rubble-mound bulkhead to be built by local interests, 0 percent; break- water construction, 0 percent. The 30-foot maneuvering and berthing area adjacent to the mu- nicipal bulkhead wharf has been dredged to project depth to within 20 feet of the face of the wharf, except a section about 500 feet long by 100 feet wide extending from 400 to 900 feet from the westerly end of the bulkhead wharf, where a failure occurred in 1931. About 362 feet of sea wall have been constructed and local interests have completed a section of the bulkhead v~harf about 1,890 feet long, on the southerly side of the 30-foot dredged area, and connected its easterly end with the causeway leading to the old municipal pier, by a riprap bulkhead. The controlling depth in the entrance channel and maneuvering area of the 30-foot project serving the municipal bulkhead, is 29 feet from the westerly limit of the project to a point about 100 feet west of the easterly limit. The controlling depth in the berthing area along the westerly 1,075 feet of the bulkhead is 17 feet; that of the easterly 815 feet is 24 feet. In the 18-foot project area the controlling depth as of November 1941 is 18 feet in the westerly part, thence sloping to 4 feet at the easterly limit line. In the 30-foot project area serving the municipal pier, the controlling depth as of March 1943 is 30 feet in the project area 300 feet wide by 300 feet long lying south of the project limit, which is 100 feet off the end of the municipal pier; in the project area east of the pier, averaging 400 feet wide by 950 feet long, the depth, beginning at the south project limit and progressing north, is 30 feet for the first 50 feet, 24 feet for the next 500 feet, and 19 feet for the next 350 feet to the north project limit. In the project area west of the pier, averag- ing 475 feet wide by 700 feet long, the depth, beginning at the south project limit and progressing north, is 30 feet for the first 300 feet, 24 feet for the next 200 feet, and 13 feet for the next 200 feet to the north project limit. The work remaining to be done by the United States under the existing project consists of completing the dredging of the 30-foot maneuvering area adjacent to the municipal bulkhead terminal; dredging the 18-foot area; dredging the 30-foot area serving the municipal pier; and constructing the breakwater extending south- westerly from Carenero Point. There remain to be constructed by the city of Ponce, to complete the project, about 970 linear feet of bulkhead wharf for the 30-foot area, and 1,470 linear feet of the bulkhead wharf for the 18-foot area. The remaining 2,350 linear feet of bulkhead along the 9-foot project was eliminated by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945. The 2,000 linear feet of sea wall to be constructed along the causeway east of the municipal pier is no longer required. In addition, there also remains to be constructed by local interests, east of the municipal pier, a rubble-mound bulkhead and public land- RIVERS AND HARBORS-ANTILLES DISTRICT 2655 ing for small boats and recreational craft. A 1-acre plot fronting on the rubble-mound bulkhead is to be ceded to the United States. The sum of $21,960.30 contributed funds was expended by the United States for sea-wall construction prior to the last modification of the project. The total costs and expenditures of the existing project, to the end of the fiscal year, were $248,584.73; of which $176,293.60 of United States funds and $21,960.30 of contributed funds, a total of $198,- 253.90, were for new work, and $50,330.83 United States funds for maintenance.

MAYAGUEZ HARBOR, P. R. Location.-The harbor is on the west coast of Puerto Rico, about 110 miles by water from San Juan Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 920 and 931.) Existing project.-This provides for an approach channel to the deep-water terminal, 30 feet deep, 1,000 feet wide at the outer end, decreasing uniformly in width to 500 feet opposite the westerly end of the terminal, thence continuing with the same width to the inshore end of said terminal. The mean tidal range is 1.1 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1932, was $179,000. The latest (1935) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $3,000. The project was authorized by the Public Works Adminis- tration on September 6, 1933, and adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. 215, 72d Cong., 1st sess., and Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 1, 73d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the former document. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-The terminals consist of two piers used by lighters, located in shoal water in the east central section of the harbor; and a modern deep-water terminal, located in the northeast section of the harbor, consisting of a bulkhead wharf about 1,270 feet in length, with a storage shed 800 feet long and 60 feet wide, immediately shore- ward thereof. The facilities appear adequate for the normal needs of commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1934. 2656 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 The controlling depth as of June 1945 is 30 feet except for a sand shoal about 800 feet long along the northerly project-limit line, increas- ing gradually in width to about 125 feet at a point about 100 feet west of the westerly end of the Mayaguez shipping-terminal bulkhead; and for a mud shoal along the full length of the easterly project-limit line, width varying from 100 to 350 feet, least depth 27 feet. The total costs and expenditures of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $242,880.54, of which $21,000 regular funds and $147,186.69 Public Works funds, a total of $168,186.69 United States funds, were for new work, and $74,693.85 regular funds were for maintenance. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $100,000, made during August 1947, will be applied to maintenance dredging as needed. No work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1949.

ST. THOMAS HARBOR, V. I. Location.-The harbor is located on the south coast of the island of St. Thomas, V. I., about 80 miles by water, east of San Juan Harbor, P. R. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 920 and 933.) Existing project.-This provides for removing Scorpion Rock at the entrance of the harbor to a depth of 36 feet at mean low water; dredging an entrance channel to this same depth and 600 feet wide; dredging an anchorage area approximately 3,150 feet long and vary- ing from 3,650 to 1,600 feet in width, to a depth of 33 feet at mean low water, and construction of a breakwater 700 feet long between RIVERS AND HARBORS-ANTILLES DISTRICT 2657 Rupert Rock and the mainland. The mean tidal range is 0.6 foot and the extreme varies between about 1 foot below mean low water and 2 feet above mean low water. Irregular fluctuations due to storms and hurricanes materially affect navigation; however, they do not occur frequently. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $1,114,000, and the approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, made in 1937, is $12,000. The project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doec. 200, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is printed in that document. Local cooperation.-Under the project local interests are required to furnish, free of cost to the United States, necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and subsequent main- tenance as required, and release the United States from all claims for damage attributable to the work of improvement. Assurances of compliance with all prescribed conditions were accepted as satisfac- tory by the Chief of Engineers on October 3, 1938. Terminal facilities.-The only deep-water terminal in St. Thomas Harbor is located in the easterly part of the harbor and is owned and operated by the West Indian Co. This terminal is stated to be a pub- lic service terminal available to all on equal terms. On this wharf are suitable warehouses and large area available for open storage. The terminal is connected with the town by a good road. There are no railroads on the island, but motor transportation is available for handling freight. Numerous small wharves and quays along the north shore of the harbor serve as berths for the many small sailing vessels and motor launches plying on active trade between St. Thomas and nearby is- lands. These docks are owned both by private interests and by the municipality; several are equipped with hand cranes for handling heavy lifts; depth of water in the berths varies from 4 to 11 feet; and are connected to the island highway system by well paved roads. The facilities contained in the existing project are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under the existing project. There have been no costs or expenditures. The controlling depths as of September 1936 were 34 feet in the entrance channel for a width varying from 300 to 600 feet, and 33 feet in the southerly portion of the anchorage area, gradually sloping to 16 feet at the limit lines in the northerly portion. Proposed operations.-No funds are available.

SURVEYS FOR NAVIGATION, FLOOD CONTROL, POWER, AND IRRIGATION Existing project.--The existing project provides for making investi- gations of those navigable streams and their tributaries whereon power development appears feasible and practicable, with a view to the formulation of general plans for the most effective improvement of such streams for the purposes of navigation and the prosecution of such improvement in combination with the most efficient development of the potential water power, the control of floods, and the needs of irrigation. The River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, adopted the project as laid down in House Document 308, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session, and added the following streams to those listed in that docu- ment: Red River, Yazoo River and tributaries, Pearl River, Altamaha River and tributaries, tributaries of the Warrior, Coosa, and Tom- bigbee Rivers. The Flood Control Act approved May 15, 1928, ex- tended the scope of the investigation and surveys so as to include tributaries of the Mississippi River system, subject to destructive floods, and laid down certain additional investigations on these tributaries. Further study or review of reports is authorized by section 6 of the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, reading as follows: That the surveys authorized pursuant to section 1 of the River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, and House Document No. 308, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session, shall be supplemented by such additional study or investigation as the Chief of Engineers finds necessary to take into account important changes in economic factors as they occur, and additional stream-flow records, or other factual data. Operations and results.-Work on each of the surveys involved was inaugurated in the spring of 1928. Valuable cooperation has been received from other Federal agencies; from State, county, and municipal engineers; from levee and drainage districts, hydroelectric companies, railroads, universities, and other local sources of informa- tion. Stream-gaging stations, where needed, have been established mainly in cooperation with the United States Geological Survey. At the close of the fiscal year 1947, surveys of 190 streams had been completed and reports thereon transmitted to Congress, and reports on the remaining streams well advanced to completion. For list of reports transmitted to Congress, see Annual Report for 1938, pages 1953-1957. In addition, three reports have been transmitted to Congress as follows: Name of stream Transmitted Printed in document No. Mississippi River above the mouth of the Ohio River- Mar. 16, 1940 H. 669, 76th Cong., 3d sess.

L., p. 507), was organized in San Francisco, Calif., on June 8, 1893, and has jurisdiction and duties extending over the drainage area of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, comprising the great central valley of California and extending from the crest of the Sierra Nevada on the east to that of the Coast Range on the west and from Mount Shasta and the Pit River Basin on the north to the Tehachapi Moun- tains on the south. These rivers empty into the head of Suisun Bay, ultimately discharging into the Pacific Ocean through the connecting bays and straits and the Golden Gate. The duties prescribed by the act creating the Commission are: First. To regulate hydraulic mining in such a way as to permit its resumption and continuance under such restrictions as to prevent the resulting debris from being carried into navigable waters or otherwise causing damage. Second. To study and report upon general hydraulic and hydraulic- mining conditions and matters affecting or affected by them and to make surveys, mature and adopt plans for the purpose of improving the navigability, deepening the channels, and protecting the banks of the rivers, and affording relief from flood damages. While the Commission was to "adopt" plans as a result of its study, the act creating it did not provide means for directly carrying them out. Congress, however, has from time to time adopted certain of the plans formulated by the Commission and charged it with their execu- tion, under the direction of the Secretary of the Army and the super- vision of the Chief of Engineers. During the past year, the Commission consisted of the following officers of the Corps of Engineers: Col. E. H. Marks, through June 1, 1947, and Col. Dwight F. Johns, since that date, president; Col. Lester F. Rhodes, secretary; Col. George Mayo, August 8, 1946, through May 13, 1947, and Col. S. N. Karrick since that date, members. The secre- tary has immediate supervision of the work of the Commission. IMPROVEMENTS Navigation Page 1. Regulation of hydraulic mining and preparation of plans------------- 2754 2.

REGULATION OF HYDRAULIC MINING AND PREPARATION OF PLANS Location.-Operationsare largely limited to the territory between Mount Lassen on the north and the Yosemite Valley on the south, on the western watershed of the Sierra Nevada. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheets for the area, 25 in number.) Existing project.-This provides for regulating hydraulic-mining operations, planning the improvement of. conditions upon the Sacra- mento and San Joaquin Rivers and their tributaries affected by such operations, and the preparation of plans to enable hydraulic mining to be resumed in their drainage areas. On application by prospective miners, full investigation is made by the California Debris Commis- sion, and permits to operate are issued to those who provide satis- factory debris-restraining basins by construction of suitable dams where necessary or use Government-constructed debris-restraining reservoirs constructed under the act of June 19, 1934, as set forth below. The estimate of cost of this work, revised in 1916, is $18,000 per annum. The existing project was authorized by the following acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 1, 1893 Created California Debris Commission and author- Ex. Doc. 267, 51st Cong., 2d sess.; ized (a) hydraulic mining under its regulation in the Ex. Doe. 98, 47th Cong., 1st sess. drainage areas of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, if possible without injury to the naviga- bility of these river systems or to lands adjacent thereto; and (b) preparation of plans by the Com- mission for improvement of the navigability of these river systems, and flood and debris control therein. Feb. 27, 1907 Authorized California Debris Commission to permit (Amendment of sec. 13 of act ap- hydraulic mining without construction of im- proved Mar. 1, 1893.) pounding works, provided there is no injury to the navigability of the above river systems or the lands adjacent thereto. June 19, 19341 Amended act of Mar. 1, 1893, which provides for con- (Amendment of sees. 18 and 23 of struction of debris dams or other restraining works act approved Mar. 1, 1893.) by the California Debris Commission and collection of a 3-percent tax on the gross proceeds of each mine using such facilities, so as to eliminate this tax and substitute an annual tax per cubic yard mined, ob- tained by dividing the total capital cost of each dam, reservoir, and rights-of-way, by the total capacity of the reservoir for restraint of debris; and auth- orized revocation of Commission orders permitting such mining, for failure to pay this annual tax with- in 30 days after its due date; and also authorized receipt of money advances from mine owners to aid such construction, to be refunded later from the annual payments of yardage taxes on mate- rial mined. June 25,1938 2 Added at the end of sec. 23 of above act, a provision (Further amendment of sec. 23 of that the Secretary of War is authorized to enter into act approved Mar. 1, 193.) contracts to supply storage for water and use of outlet facilities from debris storage reservoirs for domestic and irrigation purposes and power devel- opment, upon such conditions of delivery, use and payment as he may approve; these payments are to be deposited to the credit of such reservoir project, reducing its capital cost to be repaid by tax on min- ing operations. 1Public, 425, 73d Cong. 2 Public, 716, 75th Cong.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2755 Local cooperation.-Mine owners are required to bear all expenses incurred in complying with the orders of the Commission for regu- lation of mining and restraint of debris. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-There were 33 hydraulic mining inspections made at a cost of $3,137.99. Administrative work overlaps that of improvements 2, 3, and 4 hereunder and that of the Sacramento engineer district. Cost of this work, including regulation of hydraulic mining and issuance of licenses, was $8,087.55. The total cost of all activities was $11,225.54. Total expenditures were $12,224.90. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The Commission has received 1,273 applications for hydraulic mining licenses; 25 mines are licensed, of which 5 are for storage behind Government debris dams. Surveys have been made of those portions of Yuba, Feather, Bear, and American Rivers containing large deposits of mining debris; of active mines, except those on the North Fork of Yuba River above Bullards Bar Reservoir; and of Bullards Bar and Combie Reservoirs, to determine the rate of debris movement into the several reservoirs. Work remaining to be done is, in general, the continuation of the above or similar operations. The total cost of all work was $690,- 478.93, for maintenance. The total expenditures were $690,308.29. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $170.64, and an allotment of $18,000 made in August 1947, will be used for payment of accounts payable, $170.64, and the remainder will be applied to maintenance as follows: Applications for permission to mine by hydraulic process will be duly investigated and considered; mines operating under existing permits will be regulated, and necessary inspections, preparation and approval of plans will be made, as during preceding years. Studies, examinations, surveys, and miscellaneous operations will be continued. New mines are now operating with storage afforded by the North Fork debris reservoir on American River, and Upper Narrows Res- ervoir on Yuba River. The additional sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949 in order to continue the work assigned the Commission and meet the needs of the State and general public, requiring con- sultation with the Commission.

TREATMENT OF THE YUBA RIVER DEBRIS SITUATION- RESTRAINING BARRIERS Locastion.-The works are located' on the Yuba River between Marysville and the place where the river emerges from the foothills, near Hammonton, some 10 miles easterly from Marysville, or about 9 miles below the Narrows. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Eaisting project.-This provides for storage of mining debris within the bed of the Yuba River by means of a debris barrier, and by the restraint of the flow channel to narrow limits by means of training walls and other regulating works. The object of storing this debris in the Yuba River-a nonnavigable stream-is to keep it from passing into the Sacramento and Feather Rivers to the detriment of naviga- tion therein. The variation in water levels due to floods is about 12 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, made in 1900, was $800,000, one-half of which was appropriated by the State of California. The latest (1922) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000. (For details of this project in its original form see Annual Report, 1917, p. 1810, "Previous projects.") The existing project was adopted in a rather indefinite form by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, and in its more definite form by River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902 (H. Doc. 431, 56th Cong., 1st sess.). (For the latest published map, see U. S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance: Under contract, new current retards were built and repairs were made to current retards between Marysville and Daguerre Point, 11 miles up- stream, at a total cost of $23,263.72. Channel clearing and blasting hardpan ridges in the flood channel, by hired labor, cost $10,506.63. Total cost of work was $33,770.35, of which $16,888.16 was United RIVERS AND HARBORS-CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2757 States funds, and $16,882.19 was contributed funds. The expendi- tures were $16,858.27 United States funds and $16,882.19 contributed funds, a total of $33,740.46. Conditionat end of fiscal ?year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. Three training walls, having a total length of 85,100 feet and providing two 500-foot channels, have been built, partly by gold- dredging companies and partly by the United States. A cut was made through Daguerre Point and a concrete spillway constructed therein. The channel between Marysville and the training walls has been cleared of obstructions. Dikes have been built to block off old sand channels. The result has been to hold millions of cubic yards of min- ing debris in Yuba River which would otherwise have passed into the navigable channels of Feather and Sacramento Rivers. The total cost was as follows: Funds New work Maintenance Total ..........

Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $3,866.95, an allotment of $18,500 made in August 1947, United States funds, and $3,603.51 contributed funds, together with $18,739.52 to be contributed by the State of California, will be used for accounts payable, $29.89, and the remainder will be applied to maintenance between July and December 1947, to clear the channel between Marysville and Daguerre Point by removal of snags, brush, and trees, and blasting of hardpan; to confine the river to this channel by reinforcement of embankments; to repair and reinforce the Daguerre Point Dam; and for bank protection on both banks from 2 to 11 miles above Marysville, by construction and repair of current retards, all by hired labor. The additional sum of $18,000 (together with an equal contribution from the State of California) can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1949, between July and December 1948, on work similar to the above by hired labor and Government plant. The work is neces- sary to prevent debris entering Feather and Sacramento Rivers, which are navigable streams.

SACRAMENTO RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, CALIF. (DEBRIS ONTROL) Location.-The project reservoirs will be constructed in the water- sheds of the Yuba, Bear, and American Rivers, Calif. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheets for the basin areas, seven in number.) Existing project.-The project was designed to permit the resump- tion of hydraulic mining on a substantial scale and provides for the construction of four reservoirs at the following sites: (1) The Upper Narrows on Yuba River; (2) the North Fork site on the North Fork of American River; (3) a site on the Middle Fork of American River; and (4) a site on Bear River. The estimated cost for new work, made in 1935, is $6,945,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 50, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). For latest published map see the project document. 2760 ;.REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 The act approved November 6, 1945, provided that the dam con- structed at the Upper Narrows site on the Yuba River, in the State of California,.should thereafter be known and designated as the Harry L. Englebright Dam. Local cooperation.-Satisfactoryassurances are to be furnished the Secretary of War for repayment of the capital cost of the reservoirs from taxes on material hydraulically mined, under licenses, and im- pounded in these reservoirs. These have been furnished and accepted for sites (1), (2), and (3) above. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: There were no operations. The cost for rights-of-way under previous commit- ments was $25,106.84. Maintenance: Completion of repairs to the access road to the Harry L. Englebright (formerly the Upper Narrows) Dam and of construc- tion of safety ladder along the west side of the dam cost $240.38. Miscellaneous repairs at the North Fork and Harry L. Englebright Dams cost $2,071.68, and guard service at the two dams cost $9,295.03. All of the preceding work was by hired labor. Total cost of main- tenance work was $11,607.09. The total expenditures were $36,977.83, for new work and maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 76 percent complete. The North Fork Dam and Reservoir was completed and in use at the end of the fiscal year 1939; additional work of excavation and reinforcement at the left abutment of the dam was done in the fiscal year 1941. A small expenditure remains to be made for related rights-of-way. The dam is 155 feet high, 620 feet long, and the reser- voir has a debris-storage capacity of 26,000,000 cubic yards. The con- tract for the Harry L. Englebright (formerly the Upper Narrows) Dam construction was completed at the end of January 1941; the reservoir has been in use for storage of hydraulic mining debris. Minor finishing work was completed under supplementary agreement; repairs to footings and abutments and improvements of grounds were completed in 1944. The dam is 260 feet high, 1,142 feet long, and the reservoir has a debris-storage capacity of 118,000,000 cubic yards. Rights-of-way for this dam and reservoir have been obtained or are in course of procurement by condemnation. Work at the Ruck-A- Chucky dam site on the Middle Fork of American River was stopped, settlement of the contract was completed, and field investigations were made and report rendered with a view to the selection of another site. Work was postponed on the Dog Bar site on Bear River due to liti- gation involving mining interests, and a review of the report in the project document was made, giving consideration to alternative loca- tions of the proposed dam. This review has just been reassigned. The total cost of all activities was $5,291,374.99 for new work and $236,876.20 for maintenance, a total of $5,528,251.19. The total expenditures were $5,527,385.14. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended June 30, 1947, amounting to $6,482.09, and an allotment of $25,000, made in August 1947, will be applied during the fiscal year 1948, as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2761 Accounts payable__--------..--.---.------------------ - $866. 05 Maintenance (by hired labor): Repairs to access roads to North Fork and Harry L.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIF., FLOOD CONTROL Location. -The Sacramento River is located in north-central California. Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910, and was formerly reported under the title "Alleviation of Debris Conditions in the Sacramento and Feather Rivers." For further details see Annual Report for 1917, page 1815, and Annual Report for 1938, page 1995. Existing project.-This provides for enlargement of the river chan- nel below the mouth of Cache Slough, for making two cutoffs between the mouth of the Feather River and Colusa. for construction of four bypass weirs and the reconstruction of another, for construction of outfall gates at the mouth of Butte Slough, for construction of levees including certain drainage pumping plants, for the construction of bank-protection works and levee set-backs; for channel clearing, rectifi- cation, snagging, and bank protection, along Sacramento River and tributaries in Tehama County and from Red Bluff southerly; for maintenance, during construction of these works, of the enlarged river channel below Cache Slough, including revetment of banks of the cut; and maintenance and operation during this period, of the gaging stations on navigable rivers and streams. The Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944, provides for construc- tion and enlargement of levees along the Sacramento and Feather Rivers, in Butte Basin and in Sutter and Yolo Bypasses; for local im- provements, chiefly levees, on nine minor tributaries of the Sacra- mento River; for the construction of the Black Butte Dam and Reser- voir on Stony Creek, westerly from Orland, Glenn County; and for the construction of a low level dam and reservoir, with power facilities, at Table Mountain, in Tehama and Shasta Counties. This work is re- ported under "Sacramento River and tributaries, California, from Collinsville to Shasta Dam" by the Sacramento district. The estimated Federal cost of the project, including new work and maintenance (made in 1945) is $40,850,000, exclusive of amounts ex- pended under the previous project. In addition, local interests have contributed for project work a total of $4,949,437.55 for levee con- struction, bank protection works, and levee set-backs, besides reim- bursing the United States in the amount of $1,132,243.14 for the cost of construction incidental to the procurement of rights-of-way, an obli- gation of local interests. Total contributions, exclusive of the cost FLOOD, CONTROL--CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2763 of land and easements procured directly by the State have been $6,081,680.69. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of March 1, 1917 (H. Doc. 81, 62d Cong., 1st sess., as modified by Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 5, 63d Cong., 1st sess.), and modified by the Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928 (S. Doc. 23, 69th Cong., 1st sess.), the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (Senate com- mittee print, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), and the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941 (H. Doc.205, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-The Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928, pro- vided that local interests were to contribute one-half the cost of con- struction of project levees, estimated at $3,191,500, and furnish the lands, rights-of-way, and easements therefor. The modified project which was adopted in the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, provided that the State of California should execute and maintain the remainder of the general flood-control project, not being done or to be done by the United States, and make illegal any levee, ditches, or other works in the bypasses or on the lands reserved for overflow that might reduce or impede the flood run-off, unless approved by the California Debris Commission; should hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction works, and provided further, that the bank revetment for protection of levees above Cache Slough, and the levee reconstruction recom- mended in the project document (Senate committee print, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), should not be undertaken until the State of California, political subdivisions thereof, or responsible local agencies have agreed to provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way for said works, including the cost of all alterations to highways, road crossings, and drainage and irrigation facilities in- cident to the work, and shall have contributed one-third of the cost of bank revetment and levee reconstruction, with the understanding that the contribution of funds will be made as required by the progress of the work; and the State of California was to undertake the opera- tion of the movable top of Sacramento weir in accordance with the schedules established by the California Debris Commission. The modification of the project authorized in the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941, relieves local interests of all future construction costs under the existing project, but requires them to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide (a) all needed lands, easements, and rights-of-way free of cost to the United States, (b) bear the expense of necessary highway, railroad, and bridge alterations, (c) hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from construction of the works, and (d) maintain and operate all flood-control works after completion, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. The requirements are being complied with, progressive with the work. On August 22, 1941, the Secretary of War authorized acceptance of an advance of $750,000 from the State of California, in order that the work authorized in the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941, might be started during the fiscal year 1942. O October 7, 1941, an 766707-48-pt. 1,vol. 2--90 2764 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 additional $200,000 was similarly authorized for acceptance. These advances have been returned to the State of California. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Levees were constructed along flood channels, including reinforcement of incom- plete levees, clearing brush and removing snags, and incidental work on roads and irrigation facilities, with total yardages placed in levees as follows: Along Sacramento River, 1,875,646 cubic yards; Feather River, 520,000 cubic yards; and Yolo bypass, 1,103,636 cubic yards. Total yardage of this levee work was 3,499,282 cubic yards, and total cost, including preliminary surveys and preparation of plans, placing 39,684 tons of gravel, and 280,000 tons of cobbles and constructing 38,500 linear feet of drain ditch at the lower end of Yolo bypass, was $1,212,305.26 by contract and $174,693.47 by hired labor and Govern- ment or hired plant, a grand total of $1,386,998.73. The following work, including surveys and preparation of plans, was done by contract and by hired labor and Government plant, or plant under contract for its hire and operation, in bank protection and levee set-back activities on the main river, between mile 13.5 and Colusa Weir (mile 146) : 86,396 cubic yards were moved in grading banks; 47,990 tons of rock and 8,959 tons of gravel were placed on banks as revetment; and 620,465 cubic yards of material were placed in setting back levees. During the fiscal year a total of 6,865 linear feet of bank protection was completed, protective work being done at 27 locations. Total cost of the preceding activities was $488,182.69, of which the amount of $374,246.39 was by contract and $113,936.30 by hired labor. On the work of clearing the channel between Chico Landing and Red Bluff, snags and debris were removed from the channel from Red Bluff downstream 41/2 miles, by hired labor at a cost of $37,311.40. Total cost of new work was $1,912,492.82 from project funds. Miscellaneous construction (nonproject) accomplished for the State of California at its expense in connection with acquisition of rights- of-way for levees cost $72,381.31, and expenditures therefor were $29,897.65. Maintenance: The U. S. hydraulic pipe-line dredge Welatka was used to excavate 35,000 cubic yards from the Sacramento River flood channel near Rio Vista (mile 12.5). The total cost was $12,608.93. Total cost of all work during the fiscal year was as follows: Funds New work Maintenance Total United States funds (regular appropriations) ..----------- $1, 912, 492. 82 $12, 608. 93 $1, 925, 101. 75 'Contributedfunds (nonproject) ----------- 72, 381. 31 72,381.3172, 381.31 ....... . __..

Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was approxi- mately 79 percent complete. The channel improvement accomplished to date has produced a channel with a capacity of 570,000 cubic feet per second in the Sacramento River below Cache Slough. In addition, discharges up to 21,000 cubic feet per second can be diverted from FLOOD CONTROL-CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2765 the Sacramento River through Georgiana slough. A total of 65,- 902,419 cubic yards has been placed in levees along the project water- ways. Cut-offs at Collins Eddy and between Wild Irishman and Kinneys Bends were made in 1918 and 1919, respectively. Sacramento weir was completed in 1917, Fremont weir in 1924, Tisdale and Moul- ton weirs in 1932, and Colusa weir in 1933. Out-fall gates at Knights Landing were constructed in 1930, and at the mouth of Butte slough in 1936. Pumping plants on Sutter bypass were completed in 1944.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT, MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1947 Commission headquarters.-MississippiRiver Commission Build- ing, Vicksburg, Miss., P. O. Box 80. Commissioners.-The commissioners during the fiscal year were Maj. Gen. R. W. Crawford, United States Army, president; Edward Flad, civil engineer; Col. Ernest Graves, United States Army, re- tired; Rear Adm. Leo O. Colbert, Director, United States Coast and Geodetic Survey; Albert L. Culbertson; Harry N. Pharr, civil engineer; and Col. Clark Kittrell, Corps of Engineers. Jurisdiction.-The Mississippi River Commission, created by act of Congress approved June 28, 1879, is charged, under the direction of the Secretary of War and supervision of the Chief of Engineers, with prosecution of improvements for flood control of the Mississippi River, and of its tributaries and outlets, so far as they are affected by Mississippi River backwater, between Head of Passes, La. (mile 0), and Cape Girardeau, Mo. (mile 1,018), and with prosecution of im- provements in the interest of navigation between Cairo, Ill. (mile 966), and Baton Rouge, La. (mile 230). It also is charged with prosecution of certain flood-control works on the Mississippi River and on tribu- taries so far as they are affected by backwater, between Cape Girardeau and Rock Island, Ill. (mile 1,446) ; with control of headwater floods of the St. Francis and Yazoo Basins; protection of portions of the back- water areas near the mouths of the White, the Yazoo, and the Red Rivers, and with improvements of Bayous Rapides, Boeuf, and Co- codrie, La. Backwater limits on tributary streams are considered to be located where backwater curves from the maximum Mississippi River flood intersect maximum flood flow lines of tributaries. Location and description.-The Mississippi River rises in Lake Itasca, Minn., flows in a general southerly direction for 2,350 miles, and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Its drainage area, about 1,245,000 square miles, embraces all or part of 31 States between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains and parts of 2 Canadian Provinces. Its alluvial valley, some 30,000 square miles in extent, includes former overflow areas designated as the St. Francis, White, Tensas, Atcha- falaya, and Lafourche Basins west of the river and the Yazoo and Pontchartrain Basins east of the river. Observations made by the Mississippi River Commission to June 30, 1946, show approximate maximum and minimum discharges between the levees as follows: Cairo to White River 2,000,000 and 70,000 cubic feet per second; thence to Red River 2,150,000 and 90,000 cubic feet per second; thence to the Gulf of Mexico 1,500,000 and 80,000 cubic feet per second in the Mis- sissippi River and about 650,000 and 12,000 cubic feet per second in the Atchafalaya River. As the 1927 flood flow was not confined between 2771 2772 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 the levees, maximum discharges recorded do not include the entire flow of the 1927 flood, the maximum of record below White River. Low water stages generally obtain from August to December. High water and flood stages usually occur in the spring but great floods such as that of 1937 have occurred as early as January in the upper reaches of the lower river. Extreme ranges in stages recorded at representa- tive gages are about 60 feet at Cairo; 58 feet at Memphis; 58 feet at Red River Landing; and 23 feet at Carrollton. The river is nontidal above the mouth of Red River where the amplitude of the tide rarely exceeds 0.1 foot during extreme low water. ORGANIZATION Office of the president.-The President of the Mississippi River Commission is its executive officer. Discontinuously four officers have been detailed for duty in the office of the President of the Commission- as Deputy, Secretary of the Commission, Assistant, and Director of the Waterways Experiment Station. Field operations of the Commission below Cape Girardeau are con- -ducted by three engineer districts with limits as follows: New Orleans district.-MississippiRiver, Head of Passes (mile 0) to Warrenton, Miss. (mile 425); Atchafalaya Basin; south bank of Red River upstream to Boyce, La., thence along Bayou Jean de Jean to Hotwells, La.; Bayous Rapides, Boeuf and Cocodrie, and Bayou des Glaises; north bank of Red River to Alexandria, La. (backwater limit); Ouachita River and Boeuf and Tensas Rivers and Bayou Macon, in Louisiana; and Bayou Lafourche, La. Col. L. B. Gal- lagher, Corps of Engineers, district engineer to April 14, 1947; and Col. John R. Hardin, Corps of Engineers, since that date. Vicksburg district.-Mississippi River from Warrenton, Miss. (upper limit of New Orleans district), on the right bank 150 miles to and including Arkansas River (mile 575), and on the left bank from the Mississippi-Louisiana State line (mile 567) to the Coahoma- Bolivar County line (mile 615) ; Ouachita River, Louisiana-Arkansas State line to backwater limit (vicinity of lock and dam 8) ; Boeuf and Tensas Rivers and Bayou-Macon in Arkansas; Arkansas River to 3 miles upstream from Pine Bluff, Ark.; and Yazoo River and Basin, Miss. Col. R. G. Lovett, Corps of Engineers, district engineer. Memphis district.-Mississippi River from upper limits of the Vicksburg district, to north bank of Little River Diversion Channel (mile 51 above Cairo and just below Cape Girardeau, Mo.), 440 miles, on the right bank, and to Thebes, Ill. (mile 46 above Cairo), 395 miles, on the left bank, with operations above Cairo restricted to levee work; White River to Peach Orchard Bluff, Ark. (backwater limit); St. Francis River and Basin, Mo. and Ark.; Little River Diversion Chan- nel, Mo.; Ohio River, Ill. and Ky., to mouth of Cache River, Ill. District headquarters are located on Government reservation at West Memphis, Ark., opposite Memphis, Tenn. Col. B. M. Harloe, Corps of Engineers, district engineer to May 12, 1947; and Col. E. P. Lock, Jr., Corps of Engineers, since that date. Field operations of the Commission above Cape Girardeau, restricted to levee construction under section 6 of the 1928 Flood Control Act (local interests contributing one-third of costs and furnishing rights- MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2773 .of-way), are conducted by two districts of the Upper Mississippi Valley Division which report direct to the Commission on matters within its jurisdiction. District limits are as follows: St. Louis district.-MississippiRiver from upper limits of Memphis district, to Clemens Station, Mo., mile 302 above Cairo on the right bank, and to Hamburg Bay, Ill., mile 263 above Cairo on the left bank; Illinois River to mile 120, near Havana, Ill., and Missouri River to St. Charles, Mo. (backwater limits), for flood-control operations. Work on the Illinois River between New La Grange Lock and Dam and Havana is done by the Chicago engineer district. Col. L. B. Feagin, Corps of Engineers, district engineer to August 26, 1946; and Col R. E. Smyser, Jr., Corps of Engineers, since that date. Rock Island district.-Mississippi River from upper limits of St. Louis district, to Rock Island, mile 484 above Cairo. Col. W. N. Leaf, Corps of Engineers, district engineer. Experimental research and model studies are conducted as required for improvements under the jurisdiction of the Commission and for other projects as directed by the Chief of Engineers. The United States Waterways Experiment Station.-Installations are located at Vicksburg and Clinton, Miss., generally with engineer officers in charge. Col. Carroll T. Newton, Corps of Engineers, di- rector to January 24, 1947; Col. J. R. Hardin, Corps of Engineers, director, January 25 to March 12, 1947; operations were under super- vision of the President of the Commission since that date. PREVIOUS PROJECT The project outlined in a report by the Commission dated February 17, 1880, contemplated improvement of the channel to secure a least depth of 10 feet at extreme low water by contraction of the low-water channel, protection of banks against caving, and control of flood- water by levees. For further details see page 1944, Annual Report for 1932, and page 1682, Annual Report for 1937. EXISTING PROJECT This provides for protection of the alluvial valley of the Missis- sippi, Head of Passes to Cape Girardeau, from floods by means of levees, floodwalls, floodways, reservoirs (in the St. Francis and Yazoo Basins), bank stabilization and channel improvements in and along the river and its tributaries and outlets insofar as affected by back- water of the Mississippi River and for levee work between Cape Girardeau and Rock Island. The project also provides for bank protection, channel improvement, contraction works and dredging to secure a navigable channel 12 feet deep and 300 feet wide from Baton Rouge to Cairo. Improvements completed under previous project and incorporated in the project are maintained in accordance there- with. The estimate of cost of the existing project, including modifica- tions authorized by the act approved July 24, 1946, is $1,026,609,500, including maintenance charges through the fiscal year 1941. The esti- mated cost of annual maintenance made in 1946 is $16,000,000. Table A lists major Mississippi River improvements included in the existing project; table B lists those on tributaries and outlets; and table C contains data perinent to dams and reservoirs. 2774 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Local cooperation.-Generally requirements of local cooperation have been met with respect to initial construction, but maintenance operations have not been satisfactory in all cases. Terminal facilities.-See Port and Terminal Facilities at the Ports of New Orleans and Lake Charles, La., No. 1, 1944; Transportation Series Report No. 2, 1929, Transportation in the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. OPERATIONS AND RESULTS DURING FISCAL YEAR Commission activities.-The two hundred twenty-eighth session of the Commission was held in the office of the President of the Commis- sion, Vicksburg, Miss., October 14, 1946; and the two hundred twenty- ninth session was held on board the U. S. steamer Mississippi en route from Cairo to New Orleans, May 4 to 7, 1947. On the river trip, major features of the project were inspected, and at both sessions public hearings were held at which representatives of local government agencies, navigation, levee, commercial, and other interests presented problems pertaining to flood control and navigation. At the two hundred twenty-eight session, the Commission. acted on its report, "St. Francis River, Mo. and Ark., with respect to flood control on L'Anguille River," recommending modification of the existing project for the Lower Mississippi River to include improvement of L'Anguille River and its tributaries, Brushy and First Creeks, in the interests of flood control and drainage. In addition to the inspection trip (via steamer) members of the Commission inspected major flood-control and navigation improve- ments under the jurisdiction of the Commission. The president, MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2779 Mississippi River Commission, and his engineering assistants made periodic inspections of flood-control, navigation, and related works under the existing project along the Mississippi River and tributaries in the alluvial valley from Cairo to the Gulf of Mexico. During the period of high water, April to May 1947, flood-fighting forces were mobilized. Through the combined efforts of local authorities and departmental personnel, with the aid of mobile Army radio units, close contact with the flood situation was maintained and operations were carried out efficiently. Surveys, gages, and observations.-(See p. 1961, Annual Report for 1932.) Routine hydrographic surveys of the river between Head of Passes and Cairo, construction and special surveys and inspections were made as required. Gages were maintained and discharge obser- vations made. Results thereof are presented in detail in annual pamphlets issued by the Mississippi River Commission. Alluvial valley mapping.-Publication of contoured maps of the valley (scale 1: 62,500) was restricted to reproduction of quadrangles by the reproduction plant of the War Department. In the Memphis district work was resumed during the fiscal year on authorized quad- rangles east of Memphis, Tenn., and major revisions to quadrangles adjacent to the Mississippi River. Costs incurred for surveys, gages, and observations and for alluvial valley mapping during the fiscal year, not including cost of surveys incident and chargeable to construction features, are given in table F. Dredging.--A total of 28,068,810 cubic yards was moved from the Mississippi River channel by districts as follows: New Orleans district-(a) Channel maintenance.-One Govern- ment dredge was operated in the Mississippi River at three locations, between miles 361 and 425, moving a total of 551,775 cubic yards. (b) Channel improvements - Bayous Rapides, Boeuf, and Cocodrie.-By contract 2,657,892 cubic yards have been excavated between miles 6.9 and 12.9 and 699,240 cubic yirds between miles 12.9 and 14.8 for channel improvement and diversion. Vicksburg district-Channel maintenance,-Three Government dredges and 1 leased dredge were operated at 12 locations from mile 464.6 to mile 570 moving 10,373,460 cubic yards. Memphis district-Channel maintenance.-Four Government dredges were operated on 35 crossings from mile 653 to mile 957, mov- ing a total of 17,143,575 cubic yards. Navigation aids were maintained continuously and minimum depths in excess of 9 feet were maintained except where minimum depths obtained at crossings for periods indicated as follows: Mile Period Depth Mile Period Depth Feet Feet 685 Aug. 1, 2_____ ________________... 7. 5 879 Aug. 1, 2; Oct. 11, 12_--------- 8 717 737 ____ Aug. 5 to 7, Sept. 9 to 12 ....

S. ARMY, 1947 Costs for dredging during the fiscal year are given in table F. Bank protection.-Revetment work accomplished during the fiscal year is shown, by districts, in tables D-1 to D-3. See table F for costs of the work. Levees.-Levee construction, accomplished in accordance with sec- tions 1 and 6 of the Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928, as amended, section 9 of the act of June 15, 1936, and act of May 29, 1944 (emer- gency fund), is shown by districts and localities in tables E-1 to E-5. Main line levee work included enlargement of levees to 1941 grade and section (which latter provide an additional crown width of 15 feet for future construction of roads), rainwash restoration, and placement of seepage berms. In the New Orleans district, levee work also included installation of levee wavewash protection works, con- sisting of asphalt and concrete slope paving, and timber structures, locally known as "wooden revetments." Status of such work is given in table E-6. Costs for levee work during the fiscal year are given in table F. Floodways and outlets-New Orleans district.--(a) Wax Lake Outlet and CharentonDrainageand Navigation Canal, La.-Enlarge- ment of the spoil banks of Wax Lake outlet was continued. Plans and specifications for enlargement of Charenton drainage canal between Lake Fausse Pointe and the Gulf have been completed and contract awarded, but work has not started. Acquisition of easements, includ- ing those for which deposits have been made into court in condemna- tion cases, is 100 percent complete. (b) A tchafalaya floodway, Louisiana.--Raisinglow sections of east and west protection levees to an interim grade to allow emergency operation of Morganza floodway was continued. Permanent closure (to a reduced grade) of Bayou Pigeon completes the east protection levee along the Atchafalaya Basin floodway from the Mississippi River to Morgan City, except for railroad and highway crossings. Bayou Sorrel lock was relocated and its construction continued; excavation of site and placing of foundation piling and cut-off walls have been completed. In order to reestablish drainage east of the Atchafalaya floodway and to provide the alternate to the Gulf Intracoastal Water- way (Plaquemine-Morgan City section), excavation of a channel 9 by 100 feet from Bayou Boeuf to Bayou Long, and through Bayou Chene from Bayou Black to Bayou Penchant, was completed with 2,419,616 and 589,808 cubic yards, respectively, dredged. A cable ferry crossing and relocation of roads and ferry landings were completed at Bayou Milhomme, near Stephensville. Plans and specifications were com- pleted and contracts awarded for construction of flood walls at Ber- wick and Morgan City, installation of steel sector gates and operating machinery at Charenton floodgate, and construction of drainage struc- ture at Brushy Bayou, and a trestle over the borrow pit at the west side of Hamburg-Palmetto levee. Due to relocation of Bayou Sorrel lock, additional lands had to be secured; payment has been made for 85 percent of the fee title acquisi- tions. Acquisition of easements in the West Atchafalaya floodway, in- cluding those for which deposits have been made into court in con- demnation cases, is complete. (c) Morganza floodway, Louisiana.--Work was completed on the MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2781 embankment section for U. S. Highway No. 190, with exception of a small portion of embankment and roadway paving over the embank- ment. No work was done on embankment section of high-level crossing for the Texas & Pacific Railway and State Highway No. 30, pending completion of agreements with railroad and highway officials. Payments for easements covering 96 percent of the land values, in- cluding deposits into court in condemnation cases, and also including tracts in the floodway extension, have been made. Maintenance of guide levees was continued. (d) Bonnet Carrespillway, Louisiana.--( (See pp. 2089-2091, Annual Report for 1938.) Flood stages did not necessitate operation of the spillway. Maintenance of the guide levees was continued. Basin improvements-Atchafalaya Basin, La.-One leased dredge moved 2,678,219 cubic yards along the west side of the Atchafalaya River in the vicinity of Krotz Springs railroad bridge, enlarging the channel in order to prevent scour under the bridge, preparatory to sinking a mattress for protection of the bridge piers. Maintenance of the levees was continued. Vicksburg district--Yazoo Basin, Miss.--(a) Sardis Reservoir.- (See table C.) The facility was operated, necessary repairs to the dam and appurtenant structures were made, and mosquito-control oper- ations in the reservoir area were carried out. Construction of a water well at the dam site and of an access road to the dam site were com- pleted, except for the two bridges on the access road. Construction of the toe-drainage system was continued and is 91 percent complete. On July 1, 1946, 872,000 acre-feet of water remained in storage from the 1946 flood season. Maximum water elevation in the reservoir was 259.9 feet mean sea level on May 5, 1947, when flood-control storage was 518,000 acre-feet. Peak inflow was about 28,000 cubic feet per second on January 5, 1947. Reservoir releases, varied to accord with inflow and channel conditions downstream, ranged from 0 to 5,300 cubic feet per second. On June 30, 1947, 446,000 acre-feet remained in the flood-control pool, which it was planned to release by October 1, 1947. (b) Arkabutla Reservoir.-(See table C.) The facility was oper- ated, necessary repairs to the dam and appurtenant structures were made, and mosquito-control operations in the reservoir area were carried out. Channel clearing in Hickahala Canal was initiated and completed as maintenance. On July 1, 1946, 1.16,000 acre-feet of water remained in storage from the 1946 season. Maximum water elevation in the reservoir was 228 feet mean sea level on June 26, 1947, when flood- control storage was 221,000 acre-feet. Peak inflow was about 97,000 cubic feet per second on June 22, 1947. Reservoir releases, varied to accord with inflow and channel conditions downstream, ranged from 0 to 3,500 cubic feet per second. On June 30, 1947, 206,000 acre-feet remained in the flood-control pool which it was planned to release by October 1, 1947. (c) Enid Reservoir.-(See table C.) Highway relocation surveys were continued. Final design for outlet structures was completed under contract. Under contract, construction of the major portion of the embankment, spillway, and appurtenant works was initiated in February 1947. Clearing and grubbing for the base of the dam and 2782 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 clearing of the spillway area is in progress and is 35 percent complete. Stripping for embankment is in progress and is 30 percent complete. Construction of impervious core of the dam was initiated in June 1947. Construction of cofferdam 2 was initiated in June 1947 and is 9 percent complete. (d) Grenada Reservoir.-(See table C.) Surveys for highway and railroad relocations are complete and mapping is in progress. Final check of drawings and preparation of plans and specifications for out- let works and closure section were deferred, due to priority of other work. Under contract, construction of the major portion of the em- bankment, spillway and appurtenant works was initiated in February 1947. Clearing and grubbing is in progress and is 25 percent complete. Stripping for embankment is in progress and is 61 percent complete. Placing of compacted fill was initiated in May 1947. Under contract, the construction of housing units at Batesville and Grenada dam site and the dismantling of buildings at Camp McCain is in progress and is 75 percent complete.

Plans and specifications were completed and ap- proved for the clearing, snagging, and channel enlargement of Deer Creek from mile 153.5 to mile 160.5. This work was advertised and bids were opened in June 1947. The contract for the work on Deer Creek will be awarded in July 1947. The contracts on the other items will be awarded in August 1947. Plans and specifications for clearing and snagging of Big Sunflower River from mile 0 to mile 11.36 were completed and approved. Plans were completed for the enlargement of Steele Bayou from mile 30.45 to mile 33.5. (f) Levees.-(See table E-2.) Memphis district-St. Francis Basins Ark. and Mo.-(a) Wap- papello Reservoir.-(See table C.) The facility was maintained in operating condition and mosquito-control operations were continued. Judgment was taken on one tract of land in condemnation and a decla- ration of taking was filed on the Wayne County, Mo., roads. A con- tract was entered into with the State Highway Commission of Missouri on April 4, 1947, for the relocation, rearrangement, or alteration of facilities of U. S. Highway No. 67 in the upper reaches of the reservoir area in the vicinity of the new town site of Greenville, Mo. Restoration of the roadway, damaged by the spillway action duririg the 1945 spring flood, was accomplished during the year; 34,629 cubic yards of earth- work were placed. Construction of maintenance facilities consisting of storage building, office and shop building and remodeling laboratory building to house Government employees, was under way. Recrea- tional facilities for use by the public in the reservoir area, consisting of parking areas, ramps for launching boats, and picnic areas were con- structed. The reservoir was empty on July 1, 1946. Maximum water MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2783 elevation was 367.96 on April 26, 1947, when flood storage was approxi- mately 153,600 acre-feet. Peak inflow was about 42,900 cubic feet per second on April 26, 1947. Outflows were maintained in accordance with the design plan of the project. Design outflows of 10,000 cubic feet per second occurred on April 26,1947. (b) Drainage Improvements-Mississippi County Drainage Dis- trict No. 17 of Arkansas.--Contract was awarded involving approxi- mately 270,000 cubic yards of excavation for new drainage ditch and clean-out of existing drainage ditch and construction of four bridges. On June 30, 1947, 265,523 cubic yards of earth work had been ex- cavated and the construction of the bridges was approximately 25 percent complete. (c) Levees.-(See table E-3.) Costs for work acomplished on floodways, outlets, and basin im- provements are given in table F. Waterways Experiment Station.-During the fiscal year, 235 in- vestigations were under way. Status of all studies is set forth in pamphlets issued quarterly by the Waterways Experiment Station, for departmental use. The station is operated under a revolving fund, costs being collected from agencies served. Costs for work during the fiscal year 1947 amounted to $4,565,087.62, including $2,296,585.86 for work done on a reimbursable basis, $1,053,372.45 related to improvements under the existing project and the transfer of $1,215,129.31 prior year expenditures for improvement of existing project from the accounts of the Vicksburg district. The total cost for operation of the station to June 30, 1947, was $14,456,121.22, of which $9,077,495.23 was incurred on a reimbursable basis and the balance was for work in connection with the existing flood-control project for the alluvial valley of the Mississippi River. In addition, $396,424, military funds, were expended on 21 investigations by the Flexible Pavement Laboratory and Hydraulics Division. The total of such tests to June 30, 1947, was $919,887. Floods.--Rains occurring over the upper reaches of the Mississippi River and Ohio River Basins during April resulted in a Mississippi River crest stage of 47.1 feet on the Cairo gage on April 20, 1947, with corresponding maximum discharge of about 1,100,000 cubic feet per second. Minor floods, carried between the levees without crevasses, occurred in the St. Francis River Basin in May 1947; in the Ouachita Basin in November and December 1946 and May 1947; and in the Yazoo Basin in January, February, and April, where crest stages at Greenwood and below to the vicinity of Yazoo City obtained April 10 and 11 with severe flooding and extensive damage on small tributaries and moderate flooding on the main river. Flood stage was also exceeded at Swan Lake for a few days in July. CONDITION AT END OF FISCAL YEAR Survey of the entire river was completed in 1904 and resurvey below Cairo in 1938. Contoured quadrangles, general maps of the valley, and pamphlets tabulating river stages, discharge measure- ments, etc., have been published and are available for departmental use and public distribution under prescribed regulations. Naviga- tion and flood-control improvements completed under the existing 2784 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 project comprise levees, bank protection works, channel improvements (including cut-offs), floodways, outlets, and tributary basin improve- ments, summarized as follows: There are 2,639 miles of project levees, with earthwork aggre- gating about 1,217 million cubic yards, below Cape Girardeau, and 569 miles, with earth-work aggregating 92 million cubic yards, above Cape Girardeau, as listed in tables E-1 to E-4. Roads have been con- structed on 67 miles of levees in the New Orleans district and on 20 miles in the Vicksburg district. Revision of levees to the 1941 stand- ard grade and section, which provides for additional crown width for roads, involves reconstruction of roads already built on levees con- structed to the 1928 standard section. In the New Orleans district about 31 miles of levees on the right bank and 10 miles on the left bank are protected against wavewash by timber structures, and about 41 miles of levees on the right bank and 23 miles on the left are protected by pavement on the riverside levee slope. Effective revetment for bank protection has been placed on about 138 miles of river bank including about 10 miles on the Arkansas, Red and Ohio Rivers as listed in tables D-1, D-2, and D-3. Channel dimensions provided under the old project are available practically at all times. During 5 to 8 months of the year, when high stages prevail, considerably greater dimensions obtain in the channel below Cairo. Below Baton Rouge a channel 35 by 500 feet is main- tained by dredging under the rivers and harbors project. "Baton Rouge to the Gulf of Mexico, La." Since 1928 average annual maintenance and premaintenance dredg- ing has been 27,000,000 cubic yards. Premaintenance dredging, gen- erally employed in troublesome reaches, has reduced navigation diffi- culties. Channel improvements, accomplished by improvement dredg- ing to increase the flood-carrying capacity of the river, now form part of the main river channel. These improvements, which include 16 completed cut-offs, have reduced the distance from Baton Rouge to Cairo to 737 miles. The effect of channel improvement works on carrying capacity of the river is given on page 1811, Annual Report of Chief of Engineers for 1943. In the Atchafalaya Basin, the east river levees and bridge altera- tions at Simmesport, Krotz Springs, and Wax Lake Outlet are com- plete, and 79 percent of the west river levees are complete to approved grade and section. Continuous levee systems, except at railroad and highway crossings, extend along the east and west limits of the Atchaf- alaya floodway; 80 percent of the East Atchafalaya' Basin protection levees and 77 percent of the West Atchafalaya Basin protection levees, and both Morganza floodway guide levees are complete to approved grade and section. The condition of basin improvements, including Wax Lake Outlet, Morganza, and West Atchafalaya floodways, is prac- tically unchanged from that given on pages 1884 and 1885 of Annual Report of Chief of Engineers for 1943, with the following exceptions: Construction of Bayou Sorrel lock to provide access to the floodway through the East Atchafalaya protection levee is about 42 percent com- plete; and a channel 9 by 100 feet from Bayou Boeuf to Bayou Long and through Bayou Chene from Bayou Black to Bayou Penchant has been completed to reestabIish drainage east of the floodway and pro- MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2785 vide an alternate route for the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. A total of 3,357,132 cubic yards has been excavated in Bayou Cocodrie for chan- nel improvement. A new cut-off and improved channel is complete from mile 6.9 to mile 14.8. In the Yazoo Basin the Sardis and Arkabutla Reservoirs are com- plete and available for use as required. Relocation of U. S. Highway No. 51 across Arkabutla Reservoir is complete. Plans and specifica- tions for Enid and Grenada Reservoirs are complete except for final check of Grenada Dam outlets structures. Construction of major portions of embankments, spillways, and appurtenant works for Enid and Grenada Dams is in progress. Work on surveys and preparation" of plans and specifications for relocations of railroads, highways, and utilities and reservoir clearing is in progress. Work on levees, drain- age structures, channel improvements, and cut-offs in the basin is in progress. The condition of St. Francis Basin improvement remains as given on page 1884 of Annual Report of Chief of Engineers for 1943, except for Cross County Ditch, excavation of which was 99.8 percent com- plete; construction of bridge on Arkansas State Highway No. 42, which was complete; acquisition of Wappapello Reservoir lands, which was about 99.6 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year; 6.9 miles of levee in Elk Chute drainage district constructed to project grade and section; 265,523 cubic yards of material were excavated and construction of four bridges was approximately 25 percent complete on drainage improvements in Mississippi County drainage district 17 of Arkansas; construction of new maintenance facilities at Wappapello Dam was approximately 40 percent complete; the roadway immediately below the spillway at Wappapello Dam, damaged by the spillway ac- tion during the 1945 flood, was restored; limited recreational facilities consisting of picnic areas, boat-launching ramps, and parking areas are available for use by the public in the Wappapello Reservoir area; the master plan for recreational development of Lake Wappapello was completed and approved; contract was awarded for the relocation, re- arrangement or alteration of facilities of U. S. Highway No. 67 in the upper reaches of the Wappapello Reservoir area in the vicinity of the new town site of Greenville; and contract was awarded for the ex- cavation of drainage ditch, construction of levee and spoil banks, in- volving 1,330,000 cubic yards of earthwork and the installation of drainage structure on the right bank of the St. Francis River in the St. Francis drainage district of Clay and Greene Counties, Ark. The Waterways Experiment Station is actively engaged in construc- tion and operation of hydraulic models, investigation of soils, con- crete, and flexible pavements, and reporting results of experimental tests for proposed and authorized improvements related to civil and military projects for the Department, its divisions and districts, and other agencies throughout the United States and abroad. Surveys and reports prescribed under the existing project and as called for by congressional or departmental directives are made as required. Reports on tributary streams authorized pursuant to the act of January 21, 1927, when presented to the Mississippi River Com- mission in compliance with section 10 of the act of May 15, 1928, are 2786 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 considered and the conclusions and recommendations of the Commis- sion thereon are submitted to the Department. Total costs under the existing project incurred from United States and contributed funds to June 30, 1947, were $582,333,614.38 for new work and maintenance (see table G-1), and $11,588,202.97 for emer- gency repairs. Similarly, total costs for construction and mainte- nance of levees under the existing project and expenditures incurred therefor by non-Federal agencies are given in table G-2. PROPOSED OPERATIONS The balance unexpended on June 30, 1947, will be applied during the fiscal year 1948 in the prosecution of new work and maintenance under the project. It is estimated that there will be no available balance from prior appropriations on June 30, 1948. Enlargement of the Mississippi River project levees above Old River in the New Orleans, Vicksburg, and Memphis districts to 1941 standard grade and cross section will be prosecuted to the extent of available funds. About 115 miles of bank revetment will be con- structed. Existing flood-control structures will be maintained and operated. Improvement and maintenance dredging will be accom- plished as required to maintain an efficient channel for navigation and flood control. In the New Orleans district, work will be con- tinued on construction of the common embankment for Highway 30 and Texas & Pacific Railway high-level crossing of the Morganza floodway; Bayou Sorrel locks; Charenton floodgate; Berwick flood wall; Morgan City flood wall; Red River backwater levee; channel improvement of Boeuf and Tensas Rivers and Bayou Macon, Bayous Rapides, Boeuf and Cocodrie; and enlargement of Charenton drainage canal from Lake Fausse Point to the Gulf. Construction will be initi- ated on the New Orleans, Texas & Mexico Railroad high-level crossing of West Atchafalaya floodway; Somerset drainage structure; and alternate route of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway east of Atchafa- laya floodway above Bayou Long. In the Vicksburg district, work will be continued on construction of levees and appurtenant structures along Coldwater and Yazoo Rivers and on construction of Enid and Grenada Dams in connection with Yazoo Basin headwater flood con- trol. Relocation of highway and railroad facilities incident to con- struction of these dams will be initiated. Plans for improvements in the Yazoo backwater area will be prepared. In the Memphis district, work will be initiated on construction of the Memphis Harbor im- provement (Tennessee chute) and continued on construction of levees and drainage channels in the St. Francis Basin, and levees along White River, Ark. (Augusta to Clarendon). Preparation of reports called for by congressional or departmental directives will be continued. Surveys and observations pertinent to the existing project will be made and results published. Designs, plans, and specifications for authorized improvements will be devel- oped. The waterways experiment station will continue to prosecute model studies and tests for proposed and authorized civil and military works for the Department and other agencies as required. During the fiscal year 1949, $82,000,000 can be profitably expended for new work and $15,000,000 for maintenance.

EMERGENCY WORK Under section 7 of the Flood Control Act approved May 15, 1928, the appropriation of $5,000,000 was authorized as an emergency fund to be allotted by the Secretary of War on the recommendation of the Chief of Engineers for rescue work or for the repair or maintenance of any flood-control work on any tributaries of the Mississippi River threatened or destroyed by flood, including the flood of 1927. Prior to fiscal year 1937, total appropriations under section 7 amounted to the authorized $5,000,000. Additional appropriations amounting to $7,200,300 have been made under section 9 of the Flood Control Act approved June 15, 1936, appropriations for similar work amounting to $15,000,000 being authorized under that section.

By an act approved June 28, 1902, Congress appropriated the sum of $3,000 per year for the support and maintenance of the Perma- nent International Commission of the Congresses of Navigation and for the payment of the actual expenses of the property accredited national delegates of the United States to the meetings of the con- gresses and of the Commission. Beginning with the fiscal year 1936, such expenses were paid by allotment from the general appropriation for the improvement and maintenance of river and harbor works. The object of the association is the promotion of inland and maritime navigation by means of organized congresses, and the publication of pertinent information. Its headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium, but the congresses are held in various countries upon invitation. 2. The association is supported principally by member nations, but the privileges of membership are also extended to corporations, li- braries, and individuals. Governments are represented by delegates, the number of delegates being based on the amounts received annually from such governments and their nationals for the expenses of the Commission. Corporate membership may or may not,. include the privilege of representation by delegate. Two class of corporate mem- bership are available. The class paying the higher annual subscrip- tion has the privilege of representation by delegate. Life individual membership may be secured upon the payment of a single fee, or ordinary individual membership upon the payment annually of a fixed fee. 3. The general affairs of the association are managed by a perma- nent Commission with the assistance of a permanent council. The Commission is composed of delegates from the supporting govern- ments, and the council is chosen from the members of the permanent Commission, the representation in each case being according to the amount of the annual contribution. 4. During the fiscal year 1947 the United States was represented as follows: On the American section of the permanent Commission: By Col. Spencer Cosby, United States Army, retired, chairman; Brig. Gen. Gordon R. Young, Corps of Engineers, United States Army; Brig. Gen. Charles Keller, United States Army, retired; Mr. J. Spen- cer Smith of the State of New Jersey; Maj. Gen. Glen E. Edgerton, Corps of Engineers, United States Army; Rear Adm. William H. Smith, Civil Engineer Corps, United States Navy; and Col. Wayne S. Moore, Corps of Engineers, United States Army. Colonel Moore served as secretary of the American section; and On the American section of the permanent council: By Colonel Cosby and General Keller. 5. Because of the conditions existing in Europe during the fiscal year, no meeting of the Commission was held. However, a meeting of a restricted committee was held in Brussels, Belgium, in December 1946, to make plans for reactivation of the association. The American section was represented by Col. Edwin P. Ketchum, Corps of En- gineers, United States Army. 6. No expenditures were made during the fiscal year 1947. 2809 INTEROCEANIC CANAL SURVEYS The proposed canal route across Nicaragua extends from Brito on the Pacific via the Rio Grande Lake Nicaragua, the Rio San Juan, and the Rio Deseado to Greytown on the Atlantic, and is 173 miles long. A survey of the Nicaragua route was made in 1901, and Public Resolution 99, Seventieth Congress, approved March 2, 1929, au- thorized a further survey to bring the data up to date, as well as an investigation of additional facilities needed at the Panama Canal, to be made under the direction of the Secretary of War and super- vision of the Chief of Engineers, with the aid of such civilian engi- neers as the President deemed advisable. The President appointed the Interoceanic Canal Board to assist the Chief of Engineers. The Governor of the Panama Canal made the investigation at Panama, and a provisional battalion of United States engineer troops made the survey in Nicaragua. The report of the Chief of Engineers, together with the reports of the Interoceanic Canal Board, of the Governor of the Panama Canal, and of the officer in charge of the survey, was submitted on December 5, 1931, and published in House Document 139, Seventy- second Congress, first session. An officer and one noncommissioned officer are stationed in Nica- ragua to continue the collection and compilation of hydrological and meteorological data pertaining to the proposed canal. During the past fiscal year the collection of these data has involved the operation within the watershed of Lake Nicaragua of a number of rainfall stations, also stations for making fog observations, col- lection of evaporation data, recording lake levels and river stages, recording barometric pressure and humidity, and for gaging wind velocity and temperature. The appropriation for the investigation and survey was $150,000, all of which had been expended by the end of the fiscal year 1943. The River and Harbor Act, approved June 30, 1938, authorized the Secretary of War to continue the gathering of hydrological data in Nicaragua under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers as recom- mended in House Document 139, Seventy-second Congress, first ses- sion, and such incidental expenses as may be necessary in connection therewith are to be paid from appropriations hereafter made for ex- aminations, surveys, and contingencies of rivers and harbors. The expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, were $8,359.56, from appropriations made for examinations, surveys, and contingencies of rivers and harbors. It is estimated that $9,900 will be expended in continuing the op- erations during the fisal year ending June 30, 1948. 2810 INVESTIGATIONS AND SUPERVISION OF PROJECTS UNDER THE FEDERAL WATER POWER ACT The Federal Water Power Act of June 10, 1920, created the Federal Power Commission, composed of the Secretary of War, Secretary of the Interior, and Secretary of Agriculture, with authority to grant permits and licenses for hydroelectric developments in all waters over which Congress has jurisdiction. The act further required that the work of the Commission be performed by and through the De- partments of War, Interior, and Agriculture, and their engineering, technical, and other personnel, except as may be otherwise provided by law. By the act of June 23, 1930, entitled "An act to reorganize the Federal Power Commission," sections 1 and 2 of the Federal Water Power Act of June 10, 1920, were amended. A comission was provided for to be composed of five commissioners to be appointed by the Presi- dent, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The necessity of performing the work through the Departments of War, Interior, and Agriculture was also removed and the Commission authorized to appoint such officers and employees as are necessary in the execution of its functions. By title II of the Public Utility Act of 1935, approved August 26, 1935, the original Federal Water Power Act was made part I of the Federal Power Act, and parts II and III added to that act. The law also provides that no water-power license affecting the navigable capacity of any navigable waters of the United States shall be issued until the plans of the dam or other structures affecting navigation have been approved by the Chief of Engineers and the Secretary of War. There is further provision whereby any person or corporation intending to construct project works in any stream over which Congress has jurisdiction, other than navigable waters, shall file a declaration of intention for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the jurisdiction of the Federal Power Commission will attach. To July 1, 1929, only work of an engineering nature had been re- ferred to the War Department by the Commission. .Since that date, in addition to the duties noted below, certain work pertaining to accounting and related matters has been assigned to the War Department, as indicated in the following table: Number of projects on which supervision of all accounting work, includ- ing the supervision of preparation and the verification and certification to the Commission of statements of cost of original projects and of all additions thereto and betterment thereof and of all annual operating and financial reports requested by the Commission has been assigned and completed----------------------------------------------- 3 Number of projects on which supervision of certain accounting and re- lated work during the construction period only has been assigned and completed-----------_ ---------------------------------------- 17 Special reports relating to accounting work requested and completed-.... 5 2811 766707-48-pt. 1, vol. 2 93 2812 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

W. Graf, United States Navy. The laws enacted for the preservation of the tidal waters of New York Harbor, its adjacent or tributary waters, and the waters of Long Island Sound are administered by the Supervisor of New York Harbor, a line officer of the Navy, under the direction of the Secretary of War. The supervisor is charged under the laws with the duties of preventing any obstructive or injurious deposits in the waters under his jurisdiction and the prevention of any interference with safe navigation of the channels of the harbor by deep-draft vessels. The laws relating to the supervision of New York Harbor are acts of Congress of June 29, 1888 (25 Stat. 209), amended by section 8 of act of May 28, 1908 (35 Stat. 424-426) ; act of Congress of August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. 360); act of Conrgress of May 28, 1908 (35 Stat. 426); act of Congress of February 16, 1909 (35 Stat. 623); and act of Con- gress of June 7, 1924 (Oil Pollution Act, 1924, 43 Stat. 604). Operations and results during fiscal year.--Notices to acquaint navigation interests with the laws and regulations relating to the harbor were issued with a view to obtaining cooperation in their administration; dumping grounds for stone, ashes, mud, cellar dirt, sewerage sludge, and other refuse were designated; and 3,777 permits were issued for the removal of approximately 36,422,976 cubic yards of material. Soundings were taken at frequent intervals over the designated dumping areas to insure that sufficient depth of waters was maintained. Supervision was exercised by means of inspectors and patrols. Patrols were maintained to insure that no material was deposited at places other than the designated dumping grounds and to keep the main channels free of any interference to the safe navigation of these channels by deep-draft vessels; to prevent the discharge into navi- gable waters of waste oil and sludge, rubbish, and waste resulting from loading operations. The amounts of material reported to have been removed were con- stantly checked by the patrols. 2818 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL= WORKS 2821 ANACOSTIA PARK AND THE RECLAMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ANACOSTIA RIVER AND FLATS FROM THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER TO THE DISTRICT LINE, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA District engineer: Col. D. G. White, Corps of Engineers. Location.-The Anacostia River enters the Potomac River at Washington, D. C. Previous projects.-For the part of the project below the Ana- costia Bridge, which is also a river and harbor improvement, see Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers for 1919, page 553, under heading "Existing project." For a description of the previous projects for the improvement extending upstream from the Ana- costia Bridge see Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers for 1923, page 1990 under heading "Existing project." Existing project.-This provides for the improvement of the river and for the reclamation and development of the adjacent flats from the mouth of the river upstream to the District of Columbia boundary line, a distance of about 61/3 miles, to afford a river channel 15 feet deep in the section between the foot of Fifteenth Street SE., and Massachusetts Avenue, 9 feet deep thence to Benning Road. The sec- tion from the mouth upstream to the foot of Fifteenth Street SE., was dredged to a depth of 24 feet under a river and harbor project. The dredged material is to be used for fills. The project includes a constant-level lake or lateral basin on the west side of the river, to be known as Lake Kingman, and a smaller lake on the east side of the stream. The normal surface elevation of the lakes is to be 2 feet: above mean low tide, and they are to be dredged to a depth of 6 feet. A culvert or small bridge is to be con- structed over Lake Kingman on the line of Benning Road, and a lock and bridge is to be built at the lower end of Lake Kingman. Influent and effluent gate-control works are to be constructed to provide cir- culation and maintain a constant level in both lakes. Masonry sea walls on a riprap substructure are to be constructed along the tidal channel of the river to extend 6 feet above mean low water; the walls of the lakes are to extend 3 feet above mean low *vater or 1 foot above the level of the lake. A portion df the reclaimed tract is to be set aside for development by the Agriculture Department for a national arboretum and botanical garden. A strip of water-front land on the right bank of the river between the Anacostia Bridge and the Pennsylvania Railroad freight bridge is to be set aside for commercial purposes. The estimated cost of the project is $4,125,000 (October. 1923). To this must be added $150,000 appropriated by act approved July 3, 1930, and $15,000 ap- propriated by act approved April 4, 1938, for cost of land not covered in estimated cost of project because of increased commercial valua- tion and subsequent adverse court decision as to United States owner- ship. 2822 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

The latest published map is found in Annual Report of Chief of Engineers, 1924, at page 1994. The District of Columbia Appropriation Act approved March 2, 1911, 36 Stat. 1005 (Public No. 44), in authorizing the project pro- vided that the work is to be carried on under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, upon plans prepared under the direction of, and to be approved by, a board of engineers to con- sist of the Engineer Commissioner of the District of Columbia, the officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, and the engineer officer in charge of the improvements of the Potomac River. Executive Order No. 6166, dated June 10, 1933, transferred the functions of the Office of Public Buildings and Grounds to the Na- tional Park Service, Department of Interior. Accordingly, the Di- rector of the National Park Service has become a member of the board of engineers in lieu of the officer in charge of public buildings and grounds. Local cooperation.-The funds for this project have been ap- propriated by the District of Columbia appropriation bills, which through the fiscal year ended June 30, 1920, provided for half of the expense to be borne by the District of Columbia. From that date to June 30, 1924, the expense was borne 60 percent by the District of Columbia and 40 percent by the United States. Beginning July 1, 1924, the District of Columbia paid all required above the lump sum appropriated from United States revenues. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Construction work on the project has been deferred for the duration of the war, and has not been resumed due to lack of appropriations. Supervision of the place- ment of 28,172 cubic yards of select materials in dump fills in section F was in progress during the period July 1, 1946, to January 15, 1947, at a cost of $3,777.20. Miscellaneous topographic and hydrographic MlISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2823 surveys were made and control bench marks were reestablished at a cost of $3,320.44. Replanning and reestimating the project were con- tinued throughout the year, at a cost of $10,540.23. The Board of Engineers for the Reclamation of Anacostia River Flats, D. C., was convened March 10, 1947. Drafts of a revision report, construction estimates and schedules of operations were submitted for study and de- cision by the Board May 21, 1947. Deferred costs distributed during the year and charged to the project were $363.57. Total costs for the year were $18,001.44 and total expenditures were $21,332.01, all applied to new work. Condition at end of flscal year.-The existing project is 90 percent completed.

MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2825 MAINTENANCE, OPERATION, AND CAPITAL OUTLAY OF THE WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT District Engineer.-Col. D. G. White, Corps of Engineers. Location.-The diversion dam and raw-water intakes on the Po- tomac River at Great Falls, 131/2 miles northwest of Washington, D. C.; the two collecting conduits; part of the Dalecarlia receiving reservoir; and a booster pumping plant that lifts the water from the forebay to the main body of the Dalecarlia reservoir are located in Maryland. All other structures of the water-supply system in- cluding part of the raw-water collecting system, the purification facilities, pumping stations, storage reservoirs, and transmission mains are located within the District of Columbia. (See U. S. Geological quadrangle, Washington and vicinity.) The control of the water-supply system is vested in the Chief of Engineers. (See acts of March 3, 1859, and March 2, 1867, and sec- tion 1800, Revised Statutes). Existing projects.-The existing project provides for the mainte- nance, operation, repair, and protection of the water-supply system; the maintenance and protection of MacArthur Boulevard and Mc- Millan Park; the maintenance of water meters on Government serv- ices; plans and construction of increased facilities in purification, pumping, storage, transmission, and collecting as authorized by law. By act, Public Law 378, Sixty-fourth Congress, approved March 3, 1917, the furnishing of water to adjacent Maryland areas from the Washington water-supply system was authorized by the Con- gress; by act, Public Law 119, Sixty-ninth Congress, approved April 14, 1926, the furnishing of water to Arlington County, Va., from the Washington water-supply system was authorized by the Congress; and, by act, Public Law 118, Eightieth Congress, approved June 26, 1947, the furnishing of water to Falls Church, Va., or to any other competent State or local authority in the Virginia metropolitan area, similarly, was authorized. A description of the District of Columbia water-supply system and of previous capital-improvement and operation-and-maintenance projects is printed on pages 2206-2208 and 2218-2220 of the Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers, 1930; in an information pamphlet published June 1939 by the Washington district, Corps of Engineers; and in House Document 480, Seventy-ninth Congress, second session. Local cooperation.-Priorto July 1, 1880, the expenses of the Washington Aqueduct for construction, operation, and maintenance were .paid wholly out of the revenues of the United States. From July 1, 1880, to July 1, 1916, the expenses of construction, operation, and maintenance was paid one-half by the United States and the other half out of the general revenues of the District of Columbia. From July 1, 1916, to June 30, 1924, the expenses of construction were paid 60 percent out of the general revenues of the District of Colum- bia and 40 percent by the United States. From July 1, 1924, to June 30, 1927, expenses of construction of the Washington Aqueduct were paid wholly out of the general revenues of the District of Columbia to which the United States contributed annually a lump sum. The expenses of operation and maintenance, since July 1, 1.916, to date, have been paid wholly out of the water revenues of the District of 2826 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Columbia. From July 1, 1927, to date, all expenses for construction have been paid out of the water revenues of the District of Columbia. By act approved June 10, 1920, $25,000 was appropriated wholly from United States revenues to prepare, among other things, a report to assure an increased and adequate water supply for the District of Columbia and this report was the basis for the improvements con- structed from 1922 to 1927. Included in the District of Columbia appropriation acts of 1941 and 1942, approved June 12, 1940, and July 1, 1941, respectively, a total of $40,000 was appropriated from the water fund, District of Columbia, for the preparation of a re- port "for the development of a plan to insure an adequate future water supply for the District of Columbia and metropolitan area." This report, published as House Document 480, Seventy-ninth Con- gress, second session, contains the comprehensive plan and program for the improvements and additions to the water system to meet safely and adequately the anticipated water demands to the year 2000. Annually, since July 1, 1916, on a percentage basis, and since July 1, 1924, on a lump-sum basis, the United States has contributed to the support of the District of Columbia but no part of such annual percentage or lump-sum contributions has been allocated to the water fund, District of Columbia. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-An uninterrupted and adequate supply of purified water was furnished to the District of Columbia; to Arlington County, Va.; and to Federal establish- ments in Arlington County, Va., and in Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties, Md. The maximum daily consumption was 194,- 220,000 gallons and the average daily consumption was 158,205,000 gallons. Based upon the estimated average population of 910,000 in the District of Columbia and 105,000 in Arlington County, the average per capita daily consumption was 155.9 gallons. The aver- age daily consumption in the District of Columbia alone was 149,- 752,000 gallons or an average per capita consumption of 164.6 gallons per day. The average daily amount of water furnished to Arling- ton County, Va., was 8,200,000 gallons, the gross cost of which was reimbursed to the water fund, District of Columbia. The average daily consumption of water in all Federal Government establishments including parks, zoological garden, etc., was 24,261,690 gallons. A total of 92,428,000 gallons was delivered to Maryland communities through connections to the Washington Suburban Sanitary District's system. The average turbidity of the raw water from the Potomac River was reduced from 59 parts per million to 0.2 parts per million and the bacterial content was reduced from 1,050 to 3 per milliliter. Approxi- mately 92,000 tubes of water from 126 points in the purification and distribution systems were examined for bacterium colon. After sterilization, the average number of bacterium colon per 100 milli- liters was found to be 0 at both the Dalecarlia and the McMillan filter plants. The average alkalinity of the filtered water was 55 parts per million and the average pH value was 7.5 from both the Dalecarlia and McMillan plants. The average hardness was 78 parts per million from Dalecarlia and 73 parts per million from McMillan. The over- MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2827 all cost of water delivered was $39.13 per million gallons as compared with $37.92 in 1946. The status of construction work performed on capital outlay projects authorized for fiscal years 1946 and 1947 as of June 30, 1947, is as follows: Increased capacity of McMillan pumping station, 95 per- cent; loop in the McMillan filter plant rising main, 100 percent; rehabilitation and repair of McMillan filters, 50 percent; additional mechanical sand-washing equipment for McMillan filters, 7 percent; new conduit repairs (initial allotment), 18 percent; relocating Dalecarlia filter plant acid storage tanks, 100 percent. The preparation of plans and specifications for capital outlay proj- ects for increasing the water-supply system as authorized for fiscal years 1946 and 1947 has progressed as follows: Six additional filters and plant interconnections at Dalecarlia, 90 percent; new mixing and sedimentation basin No. 4 at Dalecarlia, 100 percent; 30-million- gallon clear-water basin at Dalecarlia, 60 percent; 40-million-gallon reservoir at Fort Reno (first half), 95 percent; 11/2 -million-gallon Reno water tower, 30 percent; fourth high-service pumping station at Reno, 10 percent; 48-inch pipe line from Dalecarlia to Reno, 70 percent; crosstown interconnecting main from Dalecarlia to low- service area (first half), 15 percent; McMillian filter plant improve- ments, 45 percent; utility relocations at Dalecarlia, 50 percent; distri- bution baffles in Georgetown reservoir, 75 percent; ventilating system for the McMillan pumping station, 100 percent; increased capacity of Dalecarlia substation, 2 percent; circulation facilities in first-high and second-high reservoirs, 90 percent. Accident prevention.-Man-hoursexposure during fiscal year 1947, 529,940; accidents (including one fatality), 4; lost time (including 6,000 hours for one fatality), 6,169 hours; accidents per million man- hours worked, 7.55; days lost per 1,000 man-hours worked, 11.64.

However, the demands upon the system have exceeded its nominal capacity and, for several years, it has been oper- ating on overload capacity. Major capital improvements authorized for 1947 have been delayed which will put the program for increased capacity behind somewhat. 766707--48-pt. 1, vol. 2--94 2828 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

S. Lake Survey Office, Detroit, Mich.] District engineer: Col. Frank A. Pettit, Corps of Engineers. Surveys--Great Lakes.-The existing general project, stated in detail in the Annual Report for 1907, pages 844 to 850, comprises the following work; Ascertaining and charting depths in all significant regions of the Great Lakes to a plane 30 feet below the adopted low- water datum of the open lakes and 25 feet below the corresponding datum in the channels of the connecting rivers, completion of triangu- lation and precise leveling needed to control the areas under survey, river-discharge measurements, investigations of lake levels, magnetic surveys in and near main vessel courses, and prompt examination of areas where obstructions to navigation have been reported. Surveys-New York State canals.-The Sundry Civil Act of March 4, 1911, provided that the survey be extended to include the lakes and other natural navigable waters of the New York State canals. The project contemplated revision and adjustment by field reconnaissance of all existing survey data pertaining thereto, supplemented by such additional topographic and hydrographic surveys as might be required for the publication of navigation charts of these waters. Field work under this project has been completed and the full set of charts has been published. Surveys-Lake Champlain.-The scope of operations was extended by the Sundry Civil Act of June 23, 1913, to include Lake Champlain. Surveys of harbors and other important areas were commenced during the field season of 1928. This work was completed in 1933. Surveys-Boundary waters letween the Lake of the Woods and Lake Superior.-The Sundry Civil Act of August 1, 1914, extended the work of the Lake Survey to include these waters. The project provides for the preparation of navigation charts of the United States waters of the Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake, complete with hydrography. The project work was completed in 1938. Charts.--The project for chart preparation provides for general, coast, river, harbor, and locality charts of the waters above mentioned in accordance with the needs of navigation and modern reproduction practice. The number of charts necessary is not fixed. Changing requirements of navigation may render new charts desirable or make old charts unnecessary. Bulletins.-The work pertaining to the Bulletin of the Survey of Northern and Northwestern Lakes consists in publishing annually in April a revised volume of coast and harbor descriptions, etc., and seven monthly supplements from May to November, giving changes and additions. Investigation of lake levels.-The present program of field work and office studies for essential hydraulic investigations of the Great Lakes approved January 21, 1935, embraces current meter work for the revision of flow equations as necessary in the connecting and outflow rivers; field determinations and office studies pertaining to effects of improvements, made or proposed, and of diversions at various locali- ties; compilations and studies relating to rainfall, run-off, evaporation, 2832 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 water temperatures, ice retardation, earth tilt, and other phenomena affecting the levels of the Lakes; and the installation and operation of gages to maintain records of water-surface elevations and to adjust datum planes for river and harbor improvements. Estimated cost of the work.-The cost of maintenance work, which includes revision and reissue of charts, revisory surveys of harbors, and miscellaneous investigations of obstructions to navigation, obser- vation and study of lake levels, publication of bulletins, supplements, and notices to mariners, and other continuing necessary activities, is estimated at $350,000 for the fiscal year 1948. Operations and results during the year-Surveys.-Three parties were in the field on July 1, 1946, and operations were continued until late October. Three parties were organized in the spring of 1947. Field work was started in May and has been continued to the end of the fiscal year. Localities and character of work are as follows: Lake Michigan: Examinations for chart revision were completed in all harbors and in other pertinent areas on the lake. Deep-sea soundings were taken in the south end of the lake. Lake Huron: Inshore soundings in Thunder Bay were continued and deep-sea soundings in the lake were completed. Charts.-Duringthe year ending June 30, 1947, revised editions of 45 charts were prepared and issued. The number of charts sold during the year was 38,996. The proceeds of sales, amounting to $19,049.50, were deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States. A total of 7,537 charts were issued for official use. Publicationof Bulletin, etc.-The descriptive Bulletin publishes de- tailed information concerning coast lines, harbors, channels, menaces to navigation, and miscellaneous features pertinent to navigation, of a character supplementary to the charts but too voluminous to be incorporated thereon. The book is revised annually and seven supple- ments thereto are issued during the navigation season. Copies are sold to the public and issued to Government agencies. Supplements Nos. 3 to 7 to Bulletin No. 55 were issued between July and November 1946. Bulletin No. 56 was prepared during the winter and the printed edition received from the Government Printing Office in the spring. Supplements Nos. 1 and 2 to the latter were pre- pared and printed locally in May and June 1947. In addition to the above publications, mimeographed notices of the monthly mean stages of the Great Lakes have been sent to newspapers, vessel interests; and Government agencies to which the information is of concern. Investigation of Lake levels.-To afford a continuing record of the varying elevations of the water surfaces of the Great Lakes and their connecting and outflow rivers, 20 self-registering gages and 10 staff gages are maintained at regular stations. Measurements of the flow of the St. Clair River were started. Studies have been made relating to water levels and hydraulic prob- lems of the Great Lakes system and to the effects upon lake levels of improvements for navigation.

The total expenditures during the year, after deducting receipts from reimbursements and sales, were $124,198.72. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The present project for surveys on the Great Lakes was formulated in 1907. The project for new work on the Great Lakes, on New York State Canals, on Lake Champlain, and on Lake of the Woods, and Rainy Lake has been completed, and present operations consist of maintenance. Lake Survey charts are on sale at the United States Lake Survey Office in Detroit, at the Corps of Engineers district offices in Buffalo and Chicago, and at the Canal Office in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Sample sets are on file at the Corps of Engineers offices in Duluth, Milwaukee, Albany, and New York City, and at the office of the Chief of Engineers in Washington, for reference. From 1882 to June 30, 1947, a total sum of $293,749.60 was derived from the sale of charts and deposited in the United States Treasury. In all, 1,424,649 charts have been sold and issued for service. It is impracticable to determine separately the costs for new work and for maintenance since the adoption of the existing project. The approximate combined cost, found by deducting expenditures of $3,973,897.31 under previous projects from the total cost of permanent work is $6,432,253.92. The total expenditures under the existing project up to June 30,1947, amount to $6,430,352.27.

MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2835 INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY WATERS THE INTERNATIONAL ST. CROIX RIVER BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.-The Board was organized pursuant to conditions in the orders of the International Joint Commission ap- proving the maintenance and operation of the dam built by the St. Croix Water Power Co. and the Sprague Falls Manufactuting Co., Ltd., across the St. Croix River at Grand Falls in the State of Maine, and subsequent agreements reached between the Governments of the United States and the Dominion of Canada. The Board is charged with the duty of formulating and administer- ing rules under which the power plant and accessories are to be oper- ated to prevent as nearly as possible a level of water at the dam higher than 203.5 (mean"sea-level datum), and to secure to the users of water below Grand Falls the flow of water to which they are entitled. The Board is also charged with the supervision of the operation of all fish- ways on that portion of the St. Croix River that forms the interna- tional boundary. On October 2, 1934, the International Joint Commission issued an order approving the reconstruction of the dam, owned by Canadian Cottons, Ltd., extending across the St. Croix River from Milltown in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada, to Milltown in the State of Maine, United States of America, which contained the following con- ditions: 1. That the reconstructed dam be so operated as to ensure that the forebay levels rise to no higher elevation than that which has heretofore obtained in the operation of the dam now being replaced. 2. That during times of flood the sluiceways of the dam shall be sufficiently open to ensure passage of the river flow. 3. That the operation of the dam, insofar as is necessary to ensure the observ- ance of the provisions of this order, be under the supervision of the International St. Croix River Board of Control. Members of the Board.-The membership of the Board for the fiscal year 1947 was as follows: Mr. Victor Meek, Controller of the Dominion Water and Power Bureau, served as Canadian member. Col. C. T. Hunt, Corps of Engineers, served as United States member until October 18, 1946, when he was relieved by Brig. Gen. D. L. Weart, United States Army, who was in turn relieved by Brig. Gen. R. G. Moses, United States Army, the present member, on November 1, 1946. Operations during the fiscal year.-Supervision was maintained and inspections made to ensure that the regulations of the Interna- tional Joint Commission were carried out. Proposed operations.-Only such correspondence and inspections as may be necessary to carry out the regulations of the International Joint Commission. THE INTERNATIONAL LAKE CHAMIPLAIN BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.-The Board was organized pursuant to the provisions of the orders, dated June 10, 1937, of the International Joint Commission, approving the construction and operation of cer- 2836 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 tain remedial works in the Richelieu River at Fryers Island in the Province of Quebec, Dominion of Canada. The Board is charged with the responsibility of ensuring compliance with the provisions of the order of approval insofar as they relate to the regulation of the levels of Lake Champlain. Members of the Board.-The members of the Board for the fiscal year 1947 were Mr. Victor Meek, Controller, Dominion Water and Power Bureau, for Canada, and Col. W. F. Heavey, Corps of Engi- neers, for the United States. Operations during the fiscal year.-None. The construction of the Fryer's Island Control Dam was completed in December 1938. Gates have been installed but have not been operated pending excavation of the natural river control upstream from the dam. Proposed opcrations.-Only such administrative-work and inspec- tions as may be necessary to carry out the regulations of the Interna- tional Joint Commission will be performed. NIAGARA CONTROL BOARD Constitution and duties.-The Niagara Control Board was consti- tuted in August 1923 to measure and supervise the diversion of waters from the Niagara River so that the level of Lake Erie and the flow of the stream shall not be affected, in accordance with the provisions of article V, treaty between the United States and Great Britain- boundary waters between the United States and Canada-May 13, 1910. Article V of the treaty limits the authorized daily diversion by Canada to 36,000 cubic feet per second and by the United States to 20,000 cubic feet per second. By an exchange of notes between the Secretary of State and the Canadian Minister an additional diversion of 5,000 cubic feet per second for Canada was authorized October 14, 1940. Senate Execu- tive Report 8, Seventy-seventh Congress, first session, authorized June 12, 1941, for defense purposes, additional diversion of 3,000 cubic feet per second for Canada, and 5,000 cubic feet per second for the- United States. A further exchange of notes authorized November 28, 1941, additional diversions of 7,500 cubic feet per second for the United States, and 6,000 cubic feet per second for Canada. Members of the Board.-The Board consists of two members, one representing the Dominion of Canada and one representing the United States. During the past year the Canadian representative was Mr. Norman Marr, Chief Hydraulic Engineer, Dominion Water and Power Bureau, Ottawa. In letter to the Secretary of State dated February 26, 1944, the Secretary of War designated the district engineer, Buf- falo, N. Y., as ex officio United States member of the International Niagara Board of Control. Col. Herbert D. Vogel has been district engineer since November 26, 1945. Operationsduring the fiscal year.-The Board received daily reports of operations of the six hydroelectric generating stations on the Niag- ara River, all'of which divert water above the Falls. These reports, submitted in form prescribed by the Board, showing for each hour the units in operation, the power output of each station, and quantities of water diverted, were checked by the Board. Monthly and annual summaries were prepared. MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2837 Weekly and intermittent inspections of all plants were made by rep- resentatives of the Board members, jointly and individually, to obtain independent watt-meter readings of power output and to assure that all provisions of article V were complied with. The new DeCew Falls Hydro-Electric Power Development was placed in operation October 15, 1943. ,Reports of daily diversions from the Niagara River by the DeCew plant beginning September 29, 1943, and continuing since that date have been received by the Board. Joint inspections of the DeCew plant were begun on February 9, 1944, and have continued at biweekly intervals since that date. Records of water levels in the Niagara River above and below the Falls were obtained by means of four self-registering gages on the United States side. On November 4, 1940, additional diversions by Canada were begun under the agreement between the Secretary of State and the Canadian Minister. On June 13, 1941, and November 28, 1941, additional diversions by Canada and the United States were begun under the authorization in the Senate executive report and the exchange of notes cited above. SPECIAL INTERNATIONAL NIAGARA BOARD In 1926 the Niagara Control Board was enlarged by the addition of two members--Dr. J. Horace McFarland being the additional United States member and Dr. Charles Camsell the additional Canadian member-for an extended investigation into the preservation of the scenic beauty of the Falls and analysis of all factors relative thereto. The Enlarged Board was constituted into a Special International Ni- agara Board for the purpose of carrying on this investigation. On December 11, 1929, the Special International Niagara Board submitted its final report to the two Governments, with recommendations in re- gard to remedial works, additional diversions, etc. This report was printed as Senate Document 128, Seventy-first Congress, second session. On January 17, 1931, a large mass of rock forming a part of the crest of the American Falls collapsed and fell into the gorge. A supple- mentary report, which reviews the basic findings of the Board as pre- sented in its final report of December 11, 1929, and which discussed the relationship of the rock fall to these findings was prepared and submitted on November 10, 1931. This supplementary report con- firmed the conclusions and recommendations made in the final report. This was the last investigation undertaken by the Special Inter- national Niagara Board. INTERNATIONAL MASSENA BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.-An order of the International Joint Commission issued after a hearing on the application of the St. Lawrence River Power Co. for permission to continue to maintain the submerged rock weir constructed by the company in the south Sault Channel of the St. Lawrence River, authorized the mainte- nance of the weir and, among other things, provided for a board of engineers to pass upon and control the new and old works involved. 2838 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1947 Members of the Board.-The members of the Board for the fiscal year were Mr. Norman Marr, Chief Hydraulic Engineer, Dominion Water and Power Bureau for Canada; Col. Herbert D. Vogel, Corps of Engineers, for the United States. In letter to the Secretary of State dated February 26, 1944, the Secretary of War designated the district engineer, Buffalo, N. Y., as ex officio United States member of the International Massena Board of Control. Col. Herbert D. Vogel has been district engineer since November 26, 1945. Operations during the fiscal year.-The Board kept in touch with conditions by means of inspections and with respect to the diversion by means of monthly reports of the power company, showing the amount of water diverted and powerhouse performance from day to day. The weir was inspected by the district engineer November 8, 1946. INTERNATIONAL LAKE SUPERIOR BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.-The Board, organized in pursuance of orders issued by the International Joint Commission, May 26, 1914, is charged with the supervision of the operations of all compensating works and all power canals and accessories with a view to maintaining the level of Lake Superior between elevations 602.1 and 603.6 above mean tide at New York. Members of the Board.-The membrs of the Board were Mr. Nor- man Marr, for Canada, and Col. Albert Riani, Corps of Engineers, for the United States. Operationsduring the fiscal year.-The Board kept in touch during the year with conditions pertaining to the diversion, through repre- sentatives of the United States and Canada on the ground, and by means of regular and systematic reports of the water levels in Lake Superior and in the channels above and below the Sault Locks and in Lake Huron. Records of discharge through the rapids, navigation canals, and power plants at the Sault were also systematically reported to the Board. LAKE OF THE WOODS WATERSHED The members of the International Lake of the Woods Board of Control and of the International Prairie Portage Board of Engineers for the fiscal year were Mr. I. R. Strome, engineer, Dominion Water and Power Bureau, for Canada, and Col. Kenneth M. Moore, Corps of Engineers to August 5, 1946, and Col. Heston R. Cole, Corps of Engineers, since that date, for the United States. LAKE OF THE WOODS The convention between the United States and Great Britain pro- claimed July 17, 1925, provides for the regulation of the level of the Lake of the Woods in order to secure to the inhabitants of the United States and Canada the most advantageous use of the waters thereof, and of the waters flowing into and from the lake on each side of the boundary between the two countries. MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2839 The convention also provides for the establishment and maintenance of a Canadian Lake of the Woods Control Board to regulate and con- trol the outflow of the waters of the lake, and for the establishment and maintenance of an International Lake of the Woods Control Board, composed of two engineers, one representing the United States and the other representing Canada, to whose approval the rate of total discharge shall be subject whenever the elevation rises above elevation 1,061 or falls below elevation 1,056, sea-level datum. Operations during the fiscal year.-Supervision was maintained and inspections were made to ensure that the provisions of the convention were carried out. RAINY LAKE The convention between the United States and Canada, ratified by the United States Senate August 30, 1940, provides, in part, that: The International Joint Commission * * * is hereby clothed with power to determine when emergency conditions exist in the Rainy Lake watershed, whether by reason of high or low water, and the Commission is hereby empowered to adopt such measures of control as to it may seem proper with respect to exist- ing dams at Kettle Falls and International Falls, as well as with respect to any existing or future dams or works in boundary waters of the Rainy Lake water- shed, in the event the Commission shall determine that such emergency conditions exist. Operations during the fiscal year.-Inspections were made, basic data compiled, and engineering reports were submitted to the Commission. PRAIRIE PORTAGE The Prairie Portage Board of Engineers were formed by the Inter- national Joint Commission for the purpose of furnishing it with tech- nical advice regarding the suitability of the dam structure at Prairie Portage, Lake County, Minn. After approval of the plans by the War Department and the International Joint Commission, the Board has been retained to advise the Commission further regarding progress of construction and regarding any other matters which might arise con- cerning this project. The United States Forest Service, which is constructing the dam, postponed work on this project during the war and at this time is merely maintaining the cofferdam, which was completed in 1941. R. A. WHEELER, Lieutenant General, Chief of Engineers. INDEX Page Volume 1 Volume 2 A Abandonment and curtailment of river and harbor projects, review of reports_______ ._ ___ 2813 Abbapoola Creek, S.
