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 re- port embraces-the 195-mile section known as the middle Mississippi, between 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 de- tails see page 1879 of the Annual Report for 1915 and page 1014 of the Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for obtaining and maintaining a minimum channel depth of not less than 9 feet, a minimum width of not less than 300 feet at low water, with additional width in bends from the mouth of the Ohio River (about 980 miles from the Gulf) to the northern boundary of the city of St. Louis, 191 miles; thence 200 feet wide, with additional width in bends to the mouth of the Missouri River, 4 miles; to be obtained: First, by regulating works, for closing sloughs and secondary channels, and narrowing the river; by building new banks where the natural width is excessive and protecting new and old banks from erosion where necessary to secure permanency; second, by dredging or other temporary expedi- ents to maintain channels of project dimensions; third, by construc- tion 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 maintenance and operation cost of $70,000, subject to such modifi- cation as the Chief of Engineers may find necessary when the proj- ect is undertaken; and to authorize the relocation of the river chan- nel and reclamation of the area in Sawyer Bend for airport, park, recreational, and similar purposes at a cost to local interests of ap- proximately $17,555,000; provided that any modification of the RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1505 present river channel required by the civic development be deferred until completion of the lateral canal in the interest of navigation and that the river diversion work connected with such civic develop- ment be under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers in order to insure that the interests of interstate and foreign commerce be properly protected; and further provided that local interests hold and save the United States free from any claims for damages that might be incurred due to the construction, maintenance, or opera- tion of such civic development or any part thereof (H. Doc. 231, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1948, is $93,173,000, with $1,370,000 for annual maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Documents Work authorized -------------- Project for regulating works adopted in 1881.

See House Document 669 (76th Cong., 3d sess.) for report of Chief of Engineers dated February 27, 1940, containing a general Plan for improvement of the Mississippi River between Coon Rapids Dam and the mouth of the Ohio River for purposes of navigation, Power development, the control of floods, and the needs of irriga- tion. Terminal facilities.-Most of the water terminal and transfer facilities 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 Water- Ways of the United States." Operations and results during fiscal year.-River stages were favorable to construction work by contract and by hired labor with Government plant the entire year, except during July 1947 and March and April 1948. Regulating works were maintained and project dimensions of channels were secured by dredging. The dis- 1506 REPORT OF CHI.EF OF 'ENGINEERS, U. S.

LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1507 construction surveys, $34,508.80; model studies, $1,258.64; and de- sign of lock and bridge, while under construction, $31,319.73 and $4,155.69, respectively. The total cost of new work was $5,794,- 331.58. Maintenance: Dikes and revetments were repaired at a cost of $488,793.55. The required 9-foot channel was maintained by four United States hydraulic dredges. During the year 41 shoals de- veloped, of which 36 were dredged once, 2 were dredged twice and one was dredged three times. There were 4,671,597 cubic yards of sand and gravel removed by these dredges from the channel through 21 bars; 143,217 cubic yards of material were removed in outside- the-channel dredging at a cost of $23,443.73. The channels dredged had a combined length of 22.6 miles, an average width of 303 feet, and an average gain in depth of 5.8 feet. The total cost of mainte- nance dredging was $479,259.87. Hydrographic surveys were made covering 75 miles of river, cost- ing $36,514.87. Aids to navigation were installed at a cost of $29,- 966.38. Other miscellaneous costs were: Snagging, $24,183.88; co- operative stream gaging, $8,109.89; discharge observations at mis- cellaneous localities, $1,667.03; stream flow forecasting, $4,545.38; gages, $14,491.25; and releasing grounded vessels, $3,766.09; all charged to maintenance. The total cost of all maintenance was $1,091,298.19. The total expenditures under this project were $6,135,389.52 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work under this project (includ- ing the authorized Chain of Rocks improvement), is about 51 per- cent complete. The quantities required to complete the project are estimated at 140 dikes, 145,000 linear feet; 81 revetments, 84,000 linear feet; and the canal, lock, levees, etc., at Chain of Rocks, as rec- ommended in House Document 231. Dikes and revetments are now in good repair and the channel has been greatly improved by the work that has been done. Dredging is required at low stages to remove temporary shoals and maintain the required channel depths. In recent years, the project dimensions of channels have generally been maintained throughout the navigation season. The navigation season formerly extended from the middle of February to the middle of December, the river being generally closed by ice the remainder of the year. However, in recent years navigation has continued throughout the winter, except when the river is actually blocked by running ice or gorges. The river is generally above the 10-foot stage, St. Louis gage, for 6 months of the year, latter part of February to latter part of August, during which time project channel depths generally prevail without dredging. The mean stage of the river for the fiscal year 1947 was 12.42 feet, St. Louis gage. The mean stage of the river for the fiscal year 1948 was 9.45 feet. 1508 REPORT OF CHIEF' OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 con- sisting 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 pro- tection to this district; but in combination with and upon comple- tion of authorized work in the Miller Pond, the North Alexander, the Clear Creek, and the Preston drainage and levee districts, pro- tection 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 1948, including $207,000 of 1936 funds used for temporary levee repair, resulting from the 1943 flood, is $1,413,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Con- trol Act of June 22, 1936. Local cooperation.-See page 7. Assurance of local cooperation approved by the county court of Alexander County, Ill., was fur- nished and approved by the Secretary of War on July 31, 1940. Requirements of local cooperation for the work previously per- formed by the United States were fully complied with. Compliance with the requirements for local cooperation for the proposed work of constructing the levee to the grade revised in 1944 has not as yet been requested. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No work was per- formed on this project. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work under the existing project is about 36 percent complete. The total costs and expenditures to June 30, 1948, 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 the preparation of maintenance manual and initiate work on construction plans by hired labor for raising and enlarging the existing levees. The additional sum of $710,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1950 for enlarging and raising the entire levee system, which was previously constructed to the grade approved in 1935, to the grade and section revised in 1944. It is expected that, with the proposed expenditures, the project will be about 86 percent complete. FLOOD) CONTROL -ST.

DEGOGNIA AND FOUNTAIN BLUFF LEVEE AND DRAINAGE DISTRICT, ILLINOIS Location.-This project is in Jackson County, Ill., on the left bank of Mississippi River between river miles 84 and 100 above the Ohio River. The district embraces practically all the bottom lands between the river and the bluffs and between Cora, Ill., on the northwest and the Illinois Central Railroad on the southeast. Existing project.-This provides for raising and enlarging the existing levee system by reconstruction of 14 miles of river-front levee and 5.3 miles of back levee along the Big Muddy River, and the construction of appurtenant work consisting of gravity drain- age structures, highway closure structures, surfacing of access road on the levee crown and altering railroads at levee crossings. The project, when completed, will not in itself afford complete protec- tion to this district; but in combination with and upon completion of authorized work in the Grand Tower drainage and levee district, protection will have been provided to this and the other district named, against a flood of about 50-year frequency. The estimated total construction cost, revised in 1946 is $4,705,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. Local cooperation.-See page 7. Assurances of local cooperation approved by the county court of Jackson County, Ill., were ap- proved by the Secretary of War September 7, 1944.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN THE MISSOURI RIVER AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. The section of the river covered in this report is divided into three reaches, under the supervision and direction of district engineers at St. Louis, Mo., Rock Island, Ill., and St. Paul, Minn. The section in the St. Louis district extends from the mouth of the Missouri River to mile 300 above the Ohio River, a distance of about 105 miles; the Rock Island district extends from mile 300 to mile 614, a distance of about 314 miles; and the St. Paul district extends from mile 614 to the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Rail- Way bridge, Minneapolis, a distance of about 244 miles. District engineers: At St. Paul, Minn., Col. Walter K. Wilson, Jr., Corps of Engineers; at Rock Island, Ill., Col. William N. Leaf, Corps of Engineers, to June 1, 1948, Col. Walter K. Wilson, Jr., Corps of Engineers, acting district engineer to June 20, 1948, and Col. Reginald L. Dean, Corps of Engineers, district engineer since that date; at St. Louis, Mo., Col. Rudolph E. Smyser, Jr., Corps of Engi- neers. Division engineer of the Upper Mississippi Valley Division, St. Louis, Mo., comprising the above districts: Col. Clark Kittrell, Corps of Engineers. Location.-The Mississippi River rises in the northern part of Minnesota, flows about 2,350 miles in a southerly direction, and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The portion included in this report extends from the mouth of the Missouri River to the Minneapolis St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Railway bridge, Minneapolis, a distance of about 663 miles. Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872; June 18, 1878; August 18, 1894; February 9, 1905; March 3, 1905; March 2, 1907; June 25, 1910; September 22, 1922; March 3, 1925; January 21, 1927; and July 3, 1930. For further details see pages 1879, 1880 and 1887 of the Annual Report for 1915; pages 1106, 1107, and 1108 of the Annual Report for 1932; and page 1047 of the Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This project provides for a channel of 9-foot depth and of adequate width between the mouth of the Missouri River (1,179 miles from the Gulf) and the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Railway bridge at Minneapolis, by the construction of a system of locks and dams, supplemented by dredging. The Project also provides for a further improvement at St. Paul to pro- Vide a basin 9 feet deep, varying in width from 400 to 1,100 feet and extending downstream from the Robert Street Bridge for a distance of 2.7 miles, and at Minneapolis to provide adequate ter- minal facilities, and for miscellaneous other harbor improvements. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948, is $202,000,000, which includes $18,338,900 for work upstream from the lower Northern Pacific Railway bridge at Minneapolis, (St. Anthony Falls), but is exclusive of amounts expended on previous 1555 1556 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 projects. The latest approved estimate for maintenance and oper- ating costs is $3,500,000 annually, including $2,300,000 for operat- ing and care of locks and dams. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: g Acts Work authorized Documents Sept. 22, 1922 Dredging channels to landing places on the main river and subsidiary sloughs for the river above the mouth of the Missouri River.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN THE MISSOURI RIVER AND MINNE- APOLIS, MINN. (ROCK ISLAND DISTRICT) For report on this improvement see page 1555. 2. ILLINOIS AND MISSISSIPPI CANAL, ILL. Location.-This canal connects the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, proceeding from a point on the Illinois River about 12 miles from La Salle across the State of Illinois to the Mississippi River at the mouth of Rock River. Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a canal from the Illinois River, near Bureau Junction, running westerly via the Bureau Creek Valley to Rock River, near Colona, thence in the bed of Rock River to the rapids near Milan, Ill., and thence to the Mississippi River at the mouth of Rock River, at Rock Island, the length of the main line being 75 miles. The feeder 29.3 miles in length, extends from Rock Falls on Rock River to the summit level of the canal, about 28 miles from the Illinois River. There are 32 locks in the main canal, described in the following tabulation. There is also a lock and controlling works at the head of the feeder at Rock Falls and a lock in Rock River at Rock Falls connecting the pool of the Government dam with the power com- pany's dam below. This lock has dimensions similar to those in the main canal and cost $75,000. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1902, was $8,911,551.12. The estimated cost of operation and maintenance, revised in 1946, is $264,000 annually. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Existing project adote --------------------- I.

Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The work performed during the fiscal year consisted of maintenance and operation of the project. Locks, bridges, buildings, telephone lines, canal banks, roadways and fences were repaired; seep ditches, and aqueducts Were cleaned out as necessary; and weeds and brush were cut and burned along the canal right-of-way, all by hired labor. Mainte- nance dredging in the canal at various localities was performed during the year, a total of 10,415 cubic yards being removed by government plant and hired labor. The costs during the fiscal year Were $143,592.81, for operating and care. The expenditures were $138,636.53. 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 navigation notice was issued on April 7, 1948, which provided a maximum possible service with the limited funds available, stating that the canal will be open to all types of navigation on Thursdays and Fridays of each week with prior arrangements being made at least one day in advance. Commercial tows may transit the canal on other week days, by making prior arrangements at least seven days in advance of the date passage is desired. The total cost to June 30, 1948, from regular funds was $9,731,595.91, of which $7,580,143.41 was for construction and $2,151,452.50 was for operation and care. The expenditures were $9,727,205.34. The costs and expenditures from Emergency Relief funds for removal of snags and stumps in Rock River pool were $25,000, all new work. In addition, the sum of $4,143,282.27 was expended between April 1895, and June 30, 1936, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the Permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

THE SNY BASIN, ILLINOIS Location.---The work covered by this project consists of local flood protection in the basin of The Sny, a former by-channel of the Mississippi 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 Duck Creeks. The plan of improvement provides for the following features: (a) On Fall Creek between the bluffs and the present Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad, to set back the levee on the right bank 200 feet, straighten the remaining levees, and clean the chan- nel. FLOOD CONTROL--iOCOK ISLAND, ILL., DISTRICT 1581 (b) To route Pigeon Creek by an improved leveed channel through a retarding and desilting reservoir adjacent to The Sny and covering approximately 1.5 square miles. (c) To divert McCraney, Hadley, and Kiser Creeks to the Mis- siSSippi River. McCraney Creek leveed diversion channel would leave the existing stream bed above the Wabash Railroad bridge and continue south to join Hadley Creek above the present Chicago, Burlington & 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 chan- nel would leave the existing stream near New Canton and extend West to join Hadley Creek in the vicinity of The Sny. From this Junction a new leveed channel would extend to the Mississippi River at mile 296.5 above Cairo. (d) To divert Horton and Dutch Creeks to the Mississippi River. The leveed Horton Creek Channel would be improved from a point approximately 1,500 feet upstream from State Highway 96 to its junction with Dutch Creek. Dutch Creek would be im- Proved and straightened from a point 2,000 feet upstream from State Highway 96 to its junction with Horton Creek. From the Junction of the two diversion 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 diversion 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 uile 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 extend from State Highway 96 on the right bank of Wildcat hollow to Bay Creek thence along the right bank of the latter to rile 5.8, thence along a section line to close with the existing Mississippi River levee. (9) 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. Pederal cost for construction of the project (revised 1948) is estimated at $9,330,000. '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. The exist- ing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946, substantially in accordance with the recommenda- tions of the Chief of Engineers in his report dated April 17, 1946. Local coo'peration.-Section3 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 1582 REPORT OF C1111 OF.0 EiNGINEERIS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 :fiscal year.-Preliminary plan- ning and field surveys by hired labor, in connection with prepara- tion of a definite project report were continued during the fiscal year. The costs during the year were $77,872.60 for new work; the expenditures were $71,744.12. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction had not been started. Preliminary planning, by hired labor, was in progress. The total costs to June 30, 1948, were $89,034.51 for new work; the expenditures were $81,011.64. Proposed operations.-Of the balance unexpended on June 30, 1948, $843,788.36,. the amount of $8,022.87. will be applied to liquidation of accounts payable, and the balance, $835,765.49, plus part of the $1,500,000 allotted July 1948, ,willbe ,applied to the continuation of planning by hired labor!. ;In view of the status of local cooperation, it is not expected that funds available for con- struction can be obligated prior to fiscal year ,1950. No additional funds can be profitably; expended in the fiscal year 1950, as sufficient funds are available for, the construction work proposed for fiscal year 1950.

Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of an earthfill dam, a little over 1 mile long, with crest elevation 813 feet above mean sea level. Maximum height of the dam will be about 120 feet. The proposed saddle spillway, of concrete founded on shale, will be 400 feet in length; its crest will be at elevation 780. A gate-controlled outlet works, located under the earth fill, will consist of seven concrete conduits each 16 feet in diameter. These seven conduits will be capable of discharging a total of 73,700 cubic feet per second with the upper pool at eleva- tion 780.0. One of the conduits can be utilized as a penstock in the event that the development of hydro-electric power at the dam is decided upon in the future. The drainage area above the dam Site is 12,250 square miles. With pool at spillway crest elevation, the reservoir area would be about 68,000 acres; the reservoir Would contain approximately 1,870,000 acre-feet of water at that height; 1,820,000 acre-feet of the reservoir will be allotted to flood-control purposes; the remaining 50,000 acre-feet will be used for a conservation pool which will furnish a minimum down- stream flow of 300 cubic feet per second. Flood waters impounded by the reservoir will result in materially reduced flood heights on the Des Moines River below the dam, and will also provide sub- stantial supplementary benefits by reducing Mississippi River floods. The latest estimate of cost of the project, revised in 1948, 1is$53,000,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944, substantially in ac- cordance 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. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preliminary plan- ning and field surveys, by hired labor, in connection with prepara- tion of an abbreviated definite project report was continued during the fiscal year. The costs during the year were $309,632.73 for new work; the expenditures were $260,027.29. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction had not been started. Preliminary planning, by hired labor, was in progress. The total costs to June 30, 1948, were $402,811.96 for new work; the expenditures were $351,538.31. 1584 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 ex- pended on previous projects, was $895,000. The latest approved (1948) estimate of cost of maintenance and operation of the reservoirs is $45,000 annually. The above dams are of solid concrete construction, Pokegama being built on bedrock and the others on pile foundations. The Sandy Lake Dam includes a lock 160 feet long, 30 feet wide, with a maximum lift of 9.5 feet and a depth of 2.5 feet on the lower sill at low water. The abandonment of the ditches to connect Long Lake to Round Lake and Round Lake to Gull Lake was recommended in House Document 413, Sixty-fourth Congress, first session, and was ordered by Congress in the River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 For reconstruction of 4 of the 5 original dams, and surveys to determine the extent of lands over. flowed by the reservoirs.

Repair items included painting exterior and interior of dwelling and office building at Gull Lake Dam, and exterior of dwellings and office buildings at Pine River, Winnibigoshish, and Pokegama Dams. Improvements included complete installation of guard rails on Gull Lake and Sandy Lake Dams and partial installation at Winnibigoshish, Leech Lake and Pokegama Dams; installation of a recorder gage Well at Leech Lake Dam; conversion of the office building to a dwelling at Leech Lake Dam and riprapping the bank above Winnibigoshish Dam. The precipitation in the reservoir area in the calendar year 1947 Was normal and fell with quite uniform distribution without any Severe storms at any of the sites. The precipitation for the first 6 months of 1948 was slightly under normal with 34 percent of the annual total occurring in April. In April and the greater part of May, Pokegama and Sandy Lake Reservoirs were operated to relieve the floods in the Aitkin, Minnesota, Area. The stage at Aitkin was in excess of the 12-foot flood stage for a period of 40 days reaching a peak stage of 15.8 feet on April 27-28. The peak Stage at Aitkin was reduced about 1.5 feet by the operation of the. four reservoirs located upstream therefrom. During the year the inflow was about 1,090,000 acre-feet and about 1,296,000 acre- feet were discharged resulting in a net reduction of about 206,000 acre-feet.

MINNESOTA RIVER, MINN. Location.-This river rises in Big Stone Lake, Minn. and S. Dak., and flows southeasterly about 224 miles to Mankato, Minn., thence northeasterly about 106 miles to join the Mississippi River opposite St. Paul, Minn. (For general location, see U. S. Geological Survey Map of Minnesota.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of August 11, 1888, and July 13, 1892. For further details, see page 1890 of Annual Report for 1915, and Page 1105 of Annual Report for 1938. 1606 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Existing project.-This provides for open-channel improve- ment from the Mississippi River to Shakopee (25.6 miles). The object to be accomplished by this improvement is to obtain a chan- nel with 4 feet of water from the Mississippi River to Shakopee, which will accommodate vessels of 3-foot draft. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1892, was $10,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892 (p. 2209 of the Annual Report for 1891). The latest published map will be found on page 1574 of the Annual Report for 1888. Local cooperation.-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., mile 13.2, be dredged to a depth of 9 feet, and the Secretary of War under authority contained in section 4 of the River and Harbor Act ap- proved March 4, 1915, authorized acceptance of a total of $139,- 670.91 as local contribution to defray costs of dredging in excess of the authorized 4-foot project depth. Terminal facilities.--At Port Cargill, mile 13.1, Cargill, Inc., owns and operates a launching ways, a dock 650 feet in length with warehouse 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 and ex- penditure of $746.78. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1931. Additional channel dredging (see "Local coopera- tion"), completed in July 1943, provides: A channel with minimum depth of 9 feet and a width of 100 feet from the mouth to Port 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, 1948, were $84,013.77, being $12,730.69 for new work and $71,283.08 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 unexpended balance June 30, 1948 amounting to $1,753.22, plus $2,000.00 allotted in July 1948, a total of $3,753.22 will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys (hired labor) (May 1949)_ __ $600.00 Channel dredging by Government plant and hired labor (May 1949)_ 3,153.22 Total maintenance_-------------------------------- - 3,753.22 RIVERS AND IIARtBORS-ST.

ST. CROIX RIVER, WIS. AND MINN. Location.-The source of the river is in northwestern Wisconsin. It is about 164 miles long and for its greater part forms the boundary between Wisconsin and Minnesota. It flows southwest- erly and then southerly into the Mississippi River at Prescott, Wis., 41.7 miles below the Northern Pacific Railroad bridge, Min- neapolis, Minn. The portion included in this improvement extends from the mouth to Taylors Falls, a distance of 51.8 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota, scale 1:500,000, for general location.) Existing project.-This provides for the maintenance of a chan- nel, 9 feet in depth and of suitable width from the mouth to Still- Water, 24.5 miles, created by the improvement of the upper Mis- Sissippi River; a channel 3 feet deep at mean low water, between Stillwater and Taylors Falls (27.3 miles); and improvement of the harbor and water front at Stillwater. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1927, was $150,400. The latest (1941) approved estimate for annual cost of main- tenance for that portion of the project between the mouth and 1608 REPORT OF CHIEF O' iENGt1NEERIS, U. S. AlMY, 1948 Stillwater is $10,000. The latest authorization (1939) for mainte- nance work on the reach between Stillwater and Taylors Falls is limited to an expenditure of not to exceed $5,000 per year.

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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preliminarysurveys for maintenance were carried on by hired labor at a cost and ex- penditure of $232.18. 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, 1948, were $281,395.40, being $150,409.50 for new work and $130,985.90 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $281,663.22. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1948 amounting to $500.00, plus accounts receivable of $267.82, together with $15,000.00 allotted in July 1948, a total of $15,767.82 will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys (hired labor) (May 1949) $580.00 Snagging, Stillwater to Taylors Falls (hired labor) (September 1948)--- 5,000.00 Dredging Channel between Stillwater and mouth by U.

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. Geologi- cal survey map of Wisconsin, scale 1:500,000 for general location.) Existing project.--This provides for a channel depth of 9 feet below the normal elevation of pool No. 8, Mississippi River, sub- Stantially from bank to bank and extending from the mouth to a Point 1.4 miles upstream. The latest approved estimated cost of new work revised in 1946 is $77,600. The latest (1937) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $2,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act 7 of August 26, 1937 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 23, 5th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest pub- lished maps. 1610 REPORTL OF CHIIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Local interests are required to furnish suitable spoil disposal areas for subsequent maintenance as required. Terminal facilities.-The Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. owns and op- erates 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 Texas Co. and Barnley Associates, Inc., own oil terminals on the left bank at miles 1.1 and 1.25, respectively. The city of La Crosse owns and operates a public terminal on the left bank 1.4 miles above the mouth. The latter consists of a timber trestle 300 feet in length with plank deck, designed for truck and crawler crane operation. The 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 a width of about 300 feet throughout the full length of the project except for contraction to 100 feet at the Chicago, Mil- waukee, St. Paul, & Pacific railroad bridge, mile 1. Work remain- ing 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, 1948, were $67,584.96 for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1948 amounting to $2,500.00, plus $1,000.00 allotted in July 1948, a total of $3,500 will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary Channel dredging surveys (hired labor) (May 1949)- -- Dredging Channel between the mouth and mile 1.4 by Government $580 _ plant and hired labor (June 1949) --------- 2,920 Total maintenance ---------------------------- _ / 3,500 The additional sum of $2,500:00 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1950 as follows: Maintenance: Preliminary channel dredging surveys (hired labor) (May 1950) -------- $500 Channel dredging by Government plant and hired labor (July 1949)._ _ 2,000 Total maintenance Total maintenance------------------------------------ 2,500 2,500 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948 ------------------- $67,584.96 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948------------------- --- Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948--------. . --- 67,584.96 total expenditures-------------------------------------67,584.96 Net total expenditures -- [---"" Net Unexpended balance, June 30, 194867-----2,58400.00 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1948----------- 70,84.96 Fiscal year ending June 30 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 Cost of new w ork ...- -- -- ... ......... __-...__ Cost of maintenance ............ ---------- ------- ----------- Total expended----------------- --------------------------------------------------- -- Lb" $,50.0 $,00. 0 2 1005 A - Allottel........---------- - - -----.. ----Lillo'% $2, 500.00 $2, 5O0.00 -- $5, 000. x) $2, 50.-oo r. .,.,...,.,,r.,.,.P_.. .-----...-. -.. o._ -- -------- ----- _1_.___ ~ i_~ __ RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST.

Location.-The Pembina River dam site is located on the Pem- bina River, about 9 miles upstream from Walhalla, N. Dak. and 96.9 miles above the mouth. The Pembina River has its head- waters in southern Manitoba, Canada, and flows southeasterly to the vicinity of. Elwood, N. Dak., then easterly to join the Red River of the North about 2 miles south of the international boun- . dary. Its length is 275 miles, of which 115 are in the United States. (For general location of dam site see U. S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of an earth-fill dam, having a height of about 64 feet above the stream bed and a length of 1,040 feet, including a con- crete spillway section having a 150-foot wide crest at an elevation 23.5 feet below dam crest, with a sluiceway decreasing in bottom width from 150 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 reservoir created by the damt 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 F.IA()O) CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DI)STRICT 1615 Provide a minimum flow of 5 second-feet to meet the water-con- Servation needs. Benefits of an intangible nature which would result include a more adequate supply of water for fire protection; alleviation of danger of epidemics to people and livestock; exten- Sve 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 (1948) to the United States for new work is $549,000. The approved estimated annual cost of m1aintenance is $5,000 for operating and care of the dam. 9 The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved ecember 22, 1944 (1H. Doc. 565, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest Published map is contained in the project document. Local cooperation.-The improvement is subject to the condi- tions that local interests make a cash contribution of $235,200, to vard the construction cost; and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will provide without cost to the United 'States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way nec- eSSary for the construction of the project; maintain the channel below the reservoir; make necessary changes in roads, bridges, and utilities; hold and save the United States free froth claims for damages due to the construction works; limit future construction of dams or other works below the reservoir; and establish pre- Ventive measures to control contamination of the river. Local interests have not been formally advised in writing of the above requirements but have informally expressed inability to comply with the present requirements as outlined. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Additional studies and detailed plans have been carried on by hired labor at a cost of $18,513.92. Expenditures were $18,401.37. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Additional studies are in prog- ress. Work on detailed plans is about 32 percent complete. The costs to June 30, 1948 were $44,402.92. Expenditures were $41,529.20. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1948, Plus accounts receivable, a total of $9,360.98 will be used during the fiscal year 1949 for accounts payable ($3,763.90) and new Work, hired labor, including completion of additional studies and Preparation of detailed plans. No additional funds will be required during the fiscal year 1950.

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 location see U. S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project.--The following features are included in the plan of improvement: An earth-fill dam, having a height of about 40 feet above the stream bed and a total length of 2,090 feet, including spill- way section; the spillway section composed of steel pile cells and grouted stone, with 180-foot wide crest at an elevation 13.5 feet be- low dam crest, and a sluiceway decreasing in bottom width from 180 to 50 feet; and a 36-inch diameter 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 ca- pacity 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 (1948) to the United States for new work is $639,800. The approved estimated annual cost of maintenance is $5,000 for operating and care of the dam. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (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 $68,600, toward the FLOOI) CONTROL-ST.

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 por-. tion of Minnesota and has a total length of about 196 river miles. It flows in a westerly direction to its junction with the Red River of the North at East Grand Forks, Minn. The meandering length of the Clearwater River in its general westerly course from its source near Ebro, Minn., to its junction with the Red Lake River at Red Lake Falls, Minn., is about 205 miles. (For general location see U. S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project.-The following features are included in the plan of improvement: Rectification and enlargement of 34.2 miles of the channel of the Red Lake River so as to provide sufficient chan- nel capacity throughout the reach between river mile 154.3 near High Landing, Minn., and the outlet of Lower Red Lake; modifica- tion of the existing stop-log structure, which was constructed at the outlet of Lower Red Lake by the Indian Service, so as to pro- vide 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 so as to provide sufficient channel capacity between river mile 41.5 near Plummer, Minn., and mile 79.1 upstream from the mouth of Ruffy Brook. The channel improvements will eliminate a large percentage of the flood damages resulting from overflow of the rivers and will provide adequate channels in Red Lake and Clearwater Rivers to carry the discharge from drainage ditches. Modification of the existing con- trol works at the outlet of Lower Red Lake will provide for a dis- charge capacity of 1,000 cubic feet per second through the structure when the lake is at normal elevation (1,174.0) and will insure the release of sufficient water to provide 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 (1948) to the United States for new work is $3,895,900. The approved estimated annual cost to the United States for maintenance is $8,500 for operating and care of the control structure. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (II. Doc. 345, 78th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Local cooperation.-Theimprovement is subject to the conditions that responsible local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will, without cost to the United States, provide all flowage easements and rights-of-way; hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works and operation; make a cash contribution of $33,220 in lieu of altering bridges; take over the maintenance and subsequent re- placement of all bridges improved by the United States; maintain FLTOOI) CONTRO(L--ST. PAUL, MINN., I)ISTRICT 1619 the improved river channels; control the contamination by rural areas and villages without sewer systems of Red Lake, Clearwater, and Thief Rivers; require that municipalities which discharge sew- age into Red Lake, Clearwater, 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 downstream from Lower Red Lake, Clearwater Lake, or Mud Lake unless authorized by the Department of the Army. The 5-year period within which local interests will be required to furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that the required cooperation will be furnished has not been initiated by a formal written notice. However, an existing drainage district reorganized by order of court has voluntarily furnished all of the assurances except those on pollution which were furnished by the Minnesota Water Pollution Control Commission. All of these as- surances were accepted October 3, 1947. A contribution of $33,220 W'as received from local interests in July 1948. All lands required for stage 1 of construction have been furnished and local interests are engaged in acquiring the remaining lands. The Red Lake Indian Council has adopted a resolution authorizing the Office of Indian Affairs, Interior Department to carry out neces- sary transfer of authority to the Department of the Army. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Design was carried on by hired labor, being 64 percent complete. Work on stage 1 of Construction by contract was initiated, comprising about 12 miles of channel excavation at the lower end of the Red Lake River im- Provement. This contract is 7 percent complete, 145,200 cubic yards of material having been excavated over a channel length of 0.7 mile. Flowage surveys in connection with lands to be acquired by local interests were completed and land titles for lands that have been furnished by local interests have been checked, by hired labor. Costs for the year for new work were $70,116.20 United States funds as follows: $28,437.91 for design, engineering, etc., $2,996.28 for flow- age surveys and land acquisition and $38,682.01 for stage 1 con- Struction. Cost by hired labor, $31,434.19; by contract, $38,682.01. Expenditures were $41,857.49. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Detailed plans and flowage sur- Veys are completed, design and checking land titles is in progress. Construction was initiated in February 1948 on the Red Lake River approximately 0.7 mile of channel excavation being completed. No Work has been done on the Clearwater River. The project as a whole is 4 percent complete. Work remaining to complete the project in- cludes checking remainder of land titles, completion of the channel improvement on Red Lake River, alteration of dam at the outlet of Lower Red Lake, raising road at lower end of Lower Red Lake, Clearwater River channel improvement and appurtenant work in- eluding necessary alteration of bridges. The total costs to the United States under the existing project to June 30, 1948 were $168,316.99 for new work. Expenditures were $140,531.52, 1620 REPORT OF C.HIEF .OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

HOMME RESERVOIR AND DAM, N. DAK. Location.-The 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 66 feet above the stream bed and a length of 865 feet; a 5-foot inside diameter concrete conduit under the dam, with control gates lo- cated in tower at upstream end; and a spillway adjacent to the dam With 150-foot crest at an elevation of 19 feet below the dam crest and a chute with a bottom width of 150 feet. Partial flood-control Protection will be afforded by the reservoir of 7,100 acre-feet ca- Pacity which will be created by the dam, and the reservoir storage capacity of 3,650 acre-feet below spillway crest will be used to pro- Vide a flow of about 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 latest approved estimated cost (1948) to the United States for new work is $1,339 000. The latest approved estimated annual cost of maintenance is $6,300 for operating and care of the dam. The project was authorized as "Park River Reservoir" by the Flood ontrol Act approved December 22, 1944 (S. Doc. 194, 78th 1622 REPORT OF CHIEF oF' ENGINEERS, i. S.- ARMY, 1948 Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is contained in the; project document. The project was redesignated "Homme Reservoir and Dam" by Public Law 435, Eightieth Congress, Second session, approved March 5, 1948. Local cooperation.-The improvement is subject to the condi- tions that local interests make a cash contribution of $40,000 to- ward the construction cost, and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project; make necessary changes in roads, bridges, and utilities; maintain the channel below the reservoir; hold and save the United States free from damages due to the con- struction works; limit future construction of dams below the reser- voir; and prevent the discharge of raw sewage into the river by municipalities. An additional cash contribution will be required for additional work that has been requested by local interests. Although local interests have not been advised formally in writ- ing of the above requirements, they have voluntarily submitted assurances for approval. Assurances were approved by the Secre- tary of War on April 29, 1947, and local interests have furnished the cash contribution of $40,000 and all the required lands. The cities of Park River and Grafton have also submitted a total of $16,220 additional cash required for additional work requested by them. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preparationof de- tailed plans was completed and design studies relative to a master recreation plan, and investigation of land titles were carried on bY hired labor. Work on stage 1 of construction, by contract, was initiated. Work consists of spillway excavation, embankment, and outlet works. This contract is 8 percent complete. Costs for the year for new work were $66,237.55 United States funds and $10,- 824.30 contributed funds as follows: $47,728.49 for design, en- gineering, etc.; $6,608.84 for investigation of land titles; and $22- 724.52 for stage 1 construction.

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 bakota.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the COnstruction of an earth fill dam, having a height of about 61 feet above the stream bed and a total length of 1,650 feet, with a con- crete spillway-control section consisting of a concrete gravity ogee Section with overall length, including piers, of 140 feet. The crest Will be at elevation 1,252 and will be surmounted by three stand- ard design Tainter gates each 40 feet long and top elevation at 1,267. A gate-controlled 3-foot diameter conduit will be provided i1ieach of the two 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 1626 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGIfEE IS, iU.S. ARMY, 1948 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. The estimated cost (1948) to the United States for new work is $2,260,300. The estimated annual cost for 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 condi- tion that no funds shall be expended on construction of the project until local interests have contributed $208,000 toward the first cost of the reservoir and until responsible local agencies have given assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of,War that they will (a) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; (b) 'bear the expense of all necessary alterations of utilities, roads, highways, and bridges; (c) con- struct, operate, and maintain the Fargo diversion dam and diver- sion ditch improvements in accordance with plans and regulations to be approved by the Secretary of War; (d) maintain the chan- nels below the reservoir in satisfactory condition for the flow of water released from storage, to include the prevention of en- croachments on the carrying capacity of the channel which would unduly interfere with the conveyance of floodwater; and (e) estab- lish and enforce suitable regulations to prevent pollution of the waters of Sheyenne River. The Bureau of Reclamation and the Corps of Engineers have cooperated on studies comparing the merits of the Sheyenne Res- ervoir (to be constructed by the Bureau farther upstream as part of the proposed Missouri-Souris diversion project) with the Bald- hill Reservoir. The results of these studies,indicate that construc-: tion 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 providea measure of flood control which the Sheyenne Reservoir cannot supply because of its upstream location. Based on these results, the North Dakota Water Conservation Commission has furnished all local coopera- tion assurances except the one for construction of the Fargo diver- sion dam and ditch which has been furnished by the City of Fargo. Assurances were approved by the Secretary of War on June 26, 1947. The required cash contribution,of $208,000 has been fur- nished. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Design, studies for reservoir management and facilities for public use, flowage surveys, and land acquisition were carried on by hired labor. About 450 acres of land in fee were obtained during the year. Construction, has been initiated by contract. Stage 1 of construction, consisting of a major portion of the excavation and a large part of the embank- FLOOD CONTROL--ST. PAUL, MIN'N., DISTRICT 1627 rnent with protection stone and appurtenant work, was completed; Stage 2, also by contract was about 3 percent complete. This stage includes construction of spillway and control works. Cost of work by classes.-Total costs for the year were $466,- 305.03 United States funds for new work as follows: Flowage sur- veys and flowage acquisition, $93,614.92; design, engineering, etc., including studies for reservoir management and facilities for pub- lic use, $97,949.19; construction, $274,740.92. Cost by hired labor, $191,564.11; by contract, $274,740.92. Total expenditures were $414,395.70. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Preparation of detailed plans is complete, design, flowage surveys and land acquisition and stud- ies relative to reservoir management are in progress. About 450 acres of land in fee have been acquired. Approximately 5,550 acres in fee and easement remain to be acquired. Construction was initiated in July 1947 and is 13.5 percent complete, as a whole, the embankment being in place except for closure, with control works under construction. Project as a whole is 22 percent complete. Completed portions of structures are in good condition. Work remaining to complete the project consists of the remain- ing land acquisition in the pool area; remainder of embankment; ' clearing; construction of public use facilities and appurtenant Work. The costs to the United States to June 30, 1948, for new Work were $538,115.41. Expenditures were $472,105.29.

Location.-The works covered by this project lie along Lake Traverse and Bois de Sioux River between the upper end of Lake Traverse at Browns Valley, Minn., and the mouth of Bois de Sioux River at Breckenbridge, Minn. The lake drains through the river to the Red River of the North, and the two waters form a portion of the boundary between the State of Minnesota and the States of North and South Dakota. For general location see United States Geological Survey map of Minnesota. Existing project.--The plan of improvement provides for use of Lake Traverse as a flood-control and water-conservation reservoir and for channel improvement in the river below the lake. It in- cludes 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 chan- nel improvement of approximately 24 miles of the Bois de Sioux River from the outlet of Lake Traverse northward toward Breck- enridge, Minn. The dam near White Rock, S. Dak., consists of a control section with concrete abutments, piers and stilling basin and 3 Tainter gates, each 13 feet wide by 16 feet deep between two sections of rolled fill embankment with a total length of approxi- mately 14,400 feet from high ground on the Minnesota side to high ground on the South Dakota side. This dam supplemented bY channel improvement of the Bois de Sioux River downstream and an embankment approximately 5,000 feet long at the south end of Lake Traverse for the protection of Browns Valley, Minn., con- stitutes the flood-control feature of the project. The structure at Reservation Highway crossing consists of a stone-paved dike spill- way with superimposed stop log spans with total length of approxi- mately 113 feet between steel sheet pile abutment walls behind which compacted fill with soil-cement slab pavement connects with the existing highway, and is operated to maintain the water level in the upper section of the lake. The project with reservoir ca- pacity for flood control of 137,000 acre-feet, affords protection to about 42,000 acres of agricultural land from floods up to those which may be expected to occur once in 30 years and should restore Lake Traverse to its former natural condition as a habitat for an abundance of wildlife and fish. The latest approved estimate of cost (1937) is $1,474,000, of which $1,115,200 is for construction and $358,800 for land and damages. The latest (1944) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $9,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. Local cooperation.-None. Operation and results during fiscal year.-Riprap protection of a portion of Reservation Highway was completed by contract. De- sign, land acquisition and minor construction of a shop and ware- house building was completed by hired labor, completing the pro- FLOOD CONTRO.--ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1631 ject. Costs for the year were $19,183.98 for new work including $3,719.42 for design, $1,044.03 for land acquisition, $420.53 for miscellaneous construction, all by hired labor and $14,000.00 for construction by contract. The White Rock Dam and Reservation Control structure were Operated as required and the necessary repairs made thereto and to appurtenant works including repair of riprap protection along a portion of Reservation Highway all at a cost of $13,775.86, in- cluding $248.42 for real estate management, $4,850.97 for repair of riprap by contract, $6,758.21 for operations, and $1,918.26 for raiscellaneous repairs and improvements. The project operation during the year was in accordance with the adopted plan. The 37,000 acre-feet of flood storage in the reser- Voirs at the beginning of the fiscal year was depleted by August 2, 1947. Evaporation during. August and September 1947 was greater than the inflow which with an outflow of 10 second-feet to SUstain fish life, gradually dropped the pools below conservation levels. Minimum levels of 1 foot and 1.2 feet below conservation Pool were reached in the Reservation and White Rock pools, re- SPectively. Only 62,000 acre-feet of the 137,000 acre-feet flood-con- trol capacity was used for storing the spring run-off in 1948. From a common level, elevation 977.2, reached April 20, 1948, White Rock pool dropped to within 1 foot of conservation pool by May 30, 1948 where it remained to the end of the fiscal year, whereas Reser- vation pool reached conservation level on May 20, 1948. The latter Pool was held from 1 to 1.5 foot below conservation pool the re- nlainder of the year to permit repairs to the Reservation Highway. During the period April 20 to May 29, 1948 approximately 80 per- cent of the flood storage was released. Thereafter the discharge. Was maintained at 250 second-feet through June 7, 40 second-feet through June 18 and 10 second-feet to the end of the fiscal year. It is believed that the crest of the flood on the Red River of the North at Wahpeton, N. Dak., was reduced at least 0.8 feet as the result of the operation of the project. Total costs for the year were $32,959.84, being $19,183.98 for new work and $13,775.86 for operating and care. The expenditures Were $12,058.70. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- Pleted in June 1948. Fee title to 1,278.48 acres and easements on 5,952.35 acres of land have been acquired. The White Rock Dam and Reservation control structure were in operation and the earth dams, dikes, channels, and appurtenances were in good condition. The roadways across the White Rock Dam and Reservation control Structure were open to public travel. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1948 were $1,401,299.06, being $1,332,200.00 for new work and $69,099.06 for operating and care. The expenditures were $1,380,864.10.

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 location see United States Geological Survey map of Minnesota. Existing project.-Construction of the Lac qui Parle Reservoir Was initiated as a Works Progress Administration project spon- Sored by the State of Minnesota, prior to its authorization as a Federal project by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The present plan of improvement provides for completion and maintenance by the Department of the Army of the structures on Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes and the Chippewa River diversion Works, substantially completed by the Work Projects Administra- tion for use of Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes as flood control and water conservation reservoirs, and for channel improvement of the Minnesota River below the lakes. The project includes a main darn at the outlet of Lac qui Parle Lake, a structure between Marsh Lake and Lac qui Parle Lake, for control of the Marsh Lake Reser- Voir, a dam and diversion channel near Watson, Minn., for divert- ing 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 high- Way across the Minnesota River, consists of a control structure of 12 bridge spans incorporating sluice gates and fixed spillway weirs, a 2,500-foot emergency spillway, and sections of highway embank- mnent 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 an auxiliary 90-foot grouted riprap overflow Spillway. The Chippewa River flood diversion dam consists of a concrete fixed crest structure supporting a highway bridge, and a section of earth fill through which is provided a conduit for dis- charge of low water flow. The diversion channel for passing flood- Waters 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 re- Versible 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 protect the ad- Jacent 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, 1634 EPsronrT O CIIEF O(F ENGINEEnRS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 nor- mal elevations of conservation pools will result in improved lake levels for recreation and game conservation in addition to provid- ing for increased low water flow downstream for agricultural in- terests 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 $12,000. Local cooperation.--None. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Investigationof fee titles and flowage easements, negotiations with the State of Min- nesota relative to land acquisition and with the Chicago, Mil- waukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad relative to operation of the project were carried on by hired labor. Total costs for the year were $2,612.04 for new work. Expenditures were $2,975.58. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project as a whole was approximately 37 percent complete. Construction was started in Sept. 1941. Contracts have been completed prior to November 1942 as follows: Lac qui Parle Dam improvements; Minnesota River channel improvements; bituminous surfacing, Lac qui Parle Dam spillway; Marsh Lake Dam improvements; Great Northern Railway bridge alteration and grade raising; and stage-recorder houses. Work remaining to be initiated to complete the project in- cludes: Installation of crane- and bulkheads at the Lac qui Parle Dam; construction of Tainter gate at Chippewa Dam; channel ex- cavation at mile 277; and snag removal and clearing on the Minne- sota River. Design on the remaining items is 5 percent complete. Negotiations toward obtaining fee title and flowage easements on all affected lands and toward agreement with the "Milwaukee" Railroad are nearing completion. A satisfactory plan has been worked out to handle the matter of maintenance of State aid roads and for assumption of liability for damage to structures due to highway usage.

S. ARM Y, 1948 16. 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 enlarge- ment downstream for the protection of the city of Decorah. The Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941, Public, No. 228, Seventy-seventh Congress, first session, modified the project to provide for diversion of Dry Run into the Upper Iowa River, a levee system along the Upper Iowa River in Decorah for protec- tion 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 protection to existing struc- tures 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, in- dustrial, 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 $1,706,900. Local cooperation.-Local interests 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 opera- tion of the project subject to the regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army 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 as- surances required and of the initiation of the 5-year period for furnishing them. Assurances were accepted July 8, 1947. Lands for Stage 1 and 2 (combined) of construction have been furnished and the remaining lands are being acquired by local interests. Operations and results during fiscal year.-I)Design and further studies were carried on by hired labor as were surveys, land lines, and examination of land titles pertaining to acquisition of land by local interests. Bids received for stage 1 of construction were rejected due to excessive costs. Stages 1 and 2 were then com- bined and the job successfully readvertised. Combined stages 1 and 2 include excavation of about 2,400 feet of diversion channel with appurtenant work including highway relocation, bridge con- struction and concrete pavement, construction of the left levee and about 7,400 feet of the right levee along the Upper Iowa River, improvement of the Upper Iowa River channel, and appurtenant work including clearing, culverts, road approaches and bridges. Work on the contract is 13.6 percent complete, work having been done on nearly all features, but only removal of Ice Cave Dam FLOOI) CONTROI---ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1637 being completed. Contract has been let with the Chicago, Mil- waukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad for raising track grade. Costs for the year were $156,578.93 for new work including $5,917.13 for surveys, land lines, and examination of titles, $33,521.23 for designs, engineering, etc., by hired labor and $117,140.57 for construction, by contract. Expenditures were $103,316.82. Co-dition at end of fiscal year.-Land line surveys are com- plete, design and examination of land titles is under way. Con- struction was initiated in April 1948 and is 9.5 percent complete as a whole. Construction of levees is about 15 percent complete, diversion channel excavation is about 28 percent complete and improvement of the Upper Iowa River channel is about 15 percent complete. Raising grade of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad and work on relocations of highways, etc., is under way. Work remaining to complete the project is the remainder of the diversion channel excavation, remainder of the right levee, raising an additional railroad grade and appurtenant work. Total costs of the project to June 30, 1948 for new work were $270,374.95 including $153,234.38 for preliminary work by hired labor and $117,140.57 for construction by contract. Expenditures Were $214,469.63.

MISSOURI RIVER, KANSAS CITY TO THE MOUTH Location.-The Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri River, which flows southeasterly 2,464.4 1 miles across or along seven States to the Mississippi River, 17 miles above St. Louis. For description, see page 1149, Annual Report for 1932. Practically the entire length of the section from Kansas City to the mouth is contained within the State of Missouri. Previous projects.-The first appropriation for improvement by regulation was made in the River and Harbor Act of June 18, 1878. The original plan for comprehensive improvement was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882, modified by River and Harbor Acts of July 5, 1884, September 19, 1890, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1891 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1153 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel of 9-foot depth and width not less than 300 feet, to be obtained by revetment of banks, construction of permeable dikes to contract and stabilize the waterway, cut-offs to eliminate long bends, closing of minor channels, removal of snags, and dredging as required. Length of section under improvement (mouth to upper end of Quindaro Bend) is 386.2 miles (1932 mileage}. Ordinary and extreme 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 esti- mated cost for annual maintenance is $2,000,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Workauthorized Documents July 25, 1912 Project adopted for securing a permanent navigable H.

(Contains latest published mlap.) Local cooperation.--The project provides that cooperation from benefited localities may be required, in case a comprehensive plan is adopted by Congress, for an apportionment of expense, where any improvement confers special benefit; and receipt of contribu- tions from private parties, to be expended with Government funds upon authorized works where such would be in the interest of navigation, is authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1915. The Secretary of the Army has approved the general prin- ciple of cooperative construction on the Missouri River below Kan- sas City on the basis that 25 percent of the cost of any special installation shall be paid by the United States and 75 percent by the local interests. 1Measured along 1941 adjusted mileage. RIVERS AND HARBORS-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1649 The total amount contributed by local interests in cooperation With the United States from 1918 to June 30, 1948, was $675,662.80, of which $8,647.11 was returned to contributors. Terminal facilities.-Facilities for transferring grain, petroleum Products, and other commodities are maintained at various loca- tions on this section of the river.

S. dredges Black and Campbell totaling 652,210 cubic Yards, excavation of 2,106,855 cubic yards of material in the de- velopment of two pilot canals by the U. S. dredges, Black and Campbell at a total cost of $353,184.33; surveys, appraisals, acqui- Sition proceeding, and related work in connection with the acquisi- tion of 447.18 acres for rights-of-way for channel changes, and the accomplishment of engineering, design, and surveys at a total cost of $125,264.82. The total cost of new work was $1,982,066.86. In addition to completed work, construction of eight lengths of revetment totaling approximately 14,888 linear feet and three 1650 REPORT OF. CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 dikes totaling approximately, 1,169 linear feet was underway by contract. Maintenance.-This work consisted of the repair, by contract, of 10,659 linear feet of dikes, 3,763 linear feet of revetment, and the construction of 346 linear feet of rock-filled dikes at a total cost of $373,300.96; and the accomplishment, .by hired labor, of the fol- lowing: Removal of 5,032,540 cubic yards of material from 30 lo- calities by U.

Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 83 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year, based on the pres- ent approved estimate of cost. The physical extent of work accom- plished was 1,754,926 linear feet of dikes, 1,111,358 linear feet of revetment, 29,499 linear feet of abatis, 27,493 linear feet of bank protection, 35,842 linear feet of retards, 26,751 linear feet of levees, five revetment spillways, excavation of 7,537,789 cubic yards of material in the construction of pilot canals, l removal of 95,342 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 material by dredging, and removal of 4,541,377 cubic yards of material in. the improvement of bank alinement. The majority of the river-improvement structures in this section that are subject to direct attacks 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 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 floodwaters. In spite of the heavy toll on these river-improve- ment structures, they have maintained control of the river channel in that the flood waters were prevented from changing the course of the river as was often the case prior to the installation of these structures. Although additional dikes and revetment are required to attain the project dimensions, a channel with a minimum depth of 6 feet and a minimum width of 200 feet is available throughout the navigation season, which covers approximately the period from March 15 to November 30. The controlling depth throughout this section of the river on June 30, 1948, was generally in excess of the RIVEiRS AND HIARBORS-KANSAS CITY, MO., D[STRICT 1651 project depth of 9 feet due to the high river stage at which time there was an average discharge at Kansas City, Mo., of 157,000 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 com- Inercial navigation since June 1935. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1948 was as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular funds- - - -- -.. $74,147, 564.35 $3.1,540, 539.66 $105, 688,104.01 Emergency relief funds----------- ---------------- 1, 375, 243. 49 133, 756. 51 1, 000.00 ublic works funds---------.. --------------------- , 468, 490.38 6,468,49). 38 Total ............................----------------------------------- 81,91, 208.22 31, 674, 296.17 113, 665, 594.39 The total expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1948, were $113,630,019.00 ($105,652,528.62 regular funds, $6,468,- 490.38 public works funds, and $1,509,000 emergency relief funds).

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 171.2 miles, and (Osage River and Lake of the Ozarks 1948 mileage) consists of two parts, mouth to Bag- 1654 REPORT OF CHIEF i OF ENGINEERS, UI. S. ARMY, 1948 nell Dam (Federal Power Commission project No. 459 at mile 81.7 above the mouth) and Bagnell Dam to :legal head of navigation (immediately below Warsaw). Ordinary and extreme fluctuations of stage on the Osage River below Bagnell Dam are 15 and 41 feet and on the Lake of the Ozarks, formed by Bagnell Dam, are 10 and 30 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1928, is $250,000, exclusive of the lock and dam, for open-channel work as far as the mouth of the Niangua River (112.8 miles above the mouth of the Osage River). The latest (1936) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $18,500, including $6,000 for operating and care of lock and dam. The following table shows the principal features of the lock and dam included in the project: Lock and dam 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, 19341 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 operating or likely to be operated on the lake. There also exist a few docks which are open to the public, and numerous private docks and storage facilities. These facilities adequately fulfill existing needs. On the Osage River below Bagnell Dam there are several small boat docks and facilities for transferring sand and gravel main- tained by private interests which adequately fulfill existing needs. RIVERS AND HIARIORS-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1655 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 $6,532.46, and a total expen- diture of $6,733.47. There were 48 lockages for 48 small craft which passed through the lock. Condition at end of fiscal year.-On May 1, 1948, a windstorm of near cyclonic velocity struck the reservation, damaging the build- ings, fences, light poles and trees causing approximately $1,200 damage. Considerable drift and silt has accumulated in the down- stream portion of the lock, the lock and gates show minor leaks, the machinery for operation of the lock is worn and antiquated, and a Portion of the water lines need replacement. Except for the construction of two wingdams, 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, navigable depths in excess of the project depth were made available at all times on the portion of the project upstream from mile 81.8. Navigation 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 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 topography 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, 1948, was $1,291,894.17 from regular funds of which $658,075.71 was for new work, $543,847.22 was for maintenance, and $89,971.24 was for operation and care of the lock and dam. The total expenditures Were $1,292,281.40 from regular funds. In addition, the sum of $190,561.10 was expended between July 1, 1912, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $1,266.53 plus accounts receivable of $387.23, together with an allotment of $6,000 made in July 1948 a total of $7,653.76 will be applied during the fiscal year 1949, as follows: Maintenance (July 1, 1948, to June 30,;1949) (operation:and care): Operation of lock and dam .. _............. . .. .. . ....... $6,419.18 Ordinary maintenance and repairs (less rental). _ 34.58 .------------------- Improvement and reconstruction (repair of storm damage) ....

MISSOURI RIVER AGRICULTURAL LEVEES, SIOUX CITY, IOWA, TO THE MOUTH (RULO, NEBR., TO MOUTH) Location.-On both banks of the Missouri River from Sioux City, Iowa, to the mouth near St. Louis, Mo., a distance of approximately 760 miles. Existing project.--The plan of improvement provides for a series of levee units and appurtenant works along both sides of the Missouri River from Sioux City, Iowa, to the mouth, for the protec- tion of agricultural lands and small communities against floods. The estimate of cost revised in 1948 for that portion of the project from Rule, Nebr., to the mouth is $89,300,000 of which $83,500,000 is the Federal cost for construction, and $5,800,000 is for lands and damages to be borne by local interests.

KANSAS CITYS ON MISSOURI AND KANSAS RIVERS, MO. AND KANS. Location.-Kansas Citys on Missouri and Kansas Rivers in Missouri and Kansas. The municipal and industrial areas which require flood protection extend from the mouth of the Kansas River about 61/2 miles up and 91/2 miles down the Missouri River and 91/2 miles up the Kansas River., Existing project.-The general plan of improvement contem- plates protection works, consisting principally of levees and flood walls, for 13 separate project units which are designated as fol- lows: Argentine; Armourdale; Central Industrial; Fairfax-Jersey Creek; North Kansas City; East Bottoms; channel improvement, Kansas River; bridge and approach alterations, Kansas River; channel improvement, Missouri River; floodway improvement, Missouri River; Birmingham; Blue Valley Industrial; and Liberty Bend cut-off. The existing project was authorized by the following flood-con- trol acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 22, 1936 Levees and flood walls for the protection of the Kansas If. Doec. 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- II.I)oc. 342, 78th Cong., 1st sess. struction of cut-offs and protection for ad(litional areas at an estimated additional costof$8,445,000. July 24, 1946 Authorized the Chief of Engineers to include neces- W sary railroad bridge and approach alterations as a Federal responsibility. FLOOD CONTROL---KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1663 The estimated cost, revised in 1948, is $41,600,000 of which $38,475,000 is the Federal cost and $3,125,000 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 ap- proximately as follows: Argentine unit.-The existing levees and flood walls of the Argentine district are of sufficient height to protect the district from the design flood. Between miles 8.2 and 6.91 near the center of the district, however, there is an indication of sand boils during high river stages, and it is proposed to install necessary facilities to control this situation. Armourdale unit.-The earth levee along the left bank of the Kansas River from mile 6.7 to mile 2.8 1 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 re- Place 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; 1 raising the existing level and replacing a portion of the existing flood wall from mile 1.1 to 0.7;' and con- struction 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 Industrial Unit.-Beginning at the south end of the Armour-Swift-Burlington bridge over the Missouri River, mile 376.9,2 the existing and proposed protection for the district extends 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 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. Fairfa-JerseyCreek unit.-About 30,900 feet of earth levee, 1,981 feet of concrete flood walls, and 32,100 feet of bank-protec- tion 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 intercity viaduct (mile 0.3) ;1 pumping plants; and appurte- nant 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 Above mouth of Kansas River. Above month of Missouri River. 1664 REPORT OF OHIIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Kansas City, Mo., municipal waterworks, the existing and pro- posed protection for the unit extends downstream along the left bank of the Missouri River for a distance of about 6.55 miles and opposite approximately Missouri River mile 375; thence north along the right bank of Rock Creek to the Wabash Railroad right- of-way, a distance of about 0.8 mile; thence northwesterly along a drainage ditch to high ground northeast of the Kansas City, Mo., municipal waterworks, a distance of about 1.6 miles. The plan of improvement consists of raising and realinement 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 376.9,2 the existing and proposed protection for the district extends down- stream 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);1 excavation of a foreshore bar along the right bank of the Kansas River, extending from the Kansas City South- ern Railroad bridge (mile 0.84)1 to the mouth; and removal of major obstructions from the bed of the main channel of the Kansas River between the Argentine bridge (mile 5.13)1 and the mouth. Bridge and approach alterations,Kansas River unit.--In order to permit the free passage of drift during flood periods, it is con- templated that all bridges across the Kansas River between mile 5.13 and the mouth which do not now provide adequate floodway will be raised above the design flood profile. This would involve the permanent raising of 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 contemplated. Replacement of the left-bank ap- proach fills to the Armour-Swift-Burlington and Hannibal bridges by approach spans is provided in the plans and is necessitated by the widening of the Kansas City reach by setting back the North Kansas City levee and dredging the abandoned overbank area. 1Above mouth of Kansas River. 2Above mouth of Missouri River. FLOOD CONTROL--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1665 Floodway improvement, Missouri River unit.-The work con- templated under this unit consists of removing brush and timber from the area riverward of the existing Birmingham drainage district levee along the left bank of the Missouri River between mile 370 and mile 363 and of removing brush from the area river- ward 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 Bir- mingham district, various upstream sections of the Birmingham levee, between 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 ap- proximately present Big Blue River mile 5.4 to provide flood pro- tection for a section of the Big Blue River Valley. Liberty Bend cut-off.-The contemplated work under this unit would consist of the construction of a main cut-off channel begin- ning at mile 363.7 and extending downstream to mile 358.5;2 a second cut-off channel from mile 358.5 to mile 357 ;2 and the con- struction of a new highway bridge where the main cut-off channel intersects United States Highway No. 71 (bypass) which at pres- ent crosses the Missouri River north of the proposed cut-off at mile 361.2 Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. The neces- sary 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, Kan- sas River; Central Industrial (Kansas section) ; channel improve- ment, Kansas River; and Fairfax Jersey Creek units, approved July 6, 1948.

Location.-The proposed dam site for the Harlan County Reser- voir is located on the main stem of the Republican River approxi- mately 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 construction 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-controlled 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 al- lowance. 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 operated 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 tributraies 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 com- prehensive plans for flood control and other purposes in the Mis- souri 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 include this project, and expanded by the Flood Control Act, approved December 22, 1944 (H. Doc. 475, and S. Docs. 191 and 247, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost, revised in 1948, is $48,578,000, of which $32,- 822,000 is for construction and $15,756,000 for lands and damages.

CHARITON RIVER, MO. Location.-The Chariton River rises near Osceola in south-cen- tral Iowa and flows in easterly and southeasterly directions approx- imately 140 miles to the Iowa-Missouri State line, thence south approximately 138 miles to its confluence with the Missouri River about 7 miles above Glasgow, Mo. The drainage basin of the Chariton River is approximately 150 miles long and 25 miles wide. Existing project.-The plan of improvement in general con- templates drainage and protection works consisting principally of the construction of levees, clearing and enlarging of the river chan- nel, and the construction of cut-offs and drainage ditches for three project units, which are designated as follows: Chariton County unit, Macon-Adair Counties unit, and Reinhart Ranch Channel cut-off unit. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (H. Doc. 628, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost of the project, revised.in 1948, is $1,695,000, of which $1,515,000 is Federal cost for construction and $180,000 is the cost of lands and damages to be borne by local interests. The units involve construction approximately as follows: Chariton County unit.-Preliminaryplans provide for cutoffs, clearing and enlarging the existing channel of the Chariton River, and construction of interior drainage facilities. Macon-Adair Counties unit.---Preliminaryplans for the work contemplated under this unit provide for construction of cut-offs and improving sections of the existing channel and the construction of necessary bridges across the new channel. Reinhart Ranch Channel cut-off unit.-Under preliminary plans, the proposed works consist principally of the construction of a cut- off channel through the Reinhart ranch and the construction of a bridge to provide access from one part of the ranch to another, as the new channel will divide the ranch into two parts. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. Local interests have furnished necessary rights-of-way for the construction of channel cut-offs, and enlarging and clearing the lower section of the existing channel of the Chariton River in Chariton County, Mo. Assurances of local cooperation for the Macon-Adair Counties, Reinhart Ranch, and completion of the Chariton County units of the project have not been requested. However, local interests re- peatedly indicated their desire that construction of the project be completed at an early date and their willingness to furnish the required cooperation.

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 2,464.41 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, Kan- sas, 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 chan- nels, removal of snags and dredging as required. Length of section under improvement (upper end of Quindaro Bend to Sioux City) is 376.3 miles. The ordinary fluctuation is about 14 feet and the extreme fluctuation about 38 feet. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $119,500,000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The estimated cost of annual maintenance is $2,500,000.

RIVERS ANI) HARBORS-OMAHA, NEBR., )[STRICT 1705 Local cooperation.-None required. 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 con- nected and put into operation when required. At Brownville, Nebr., plans are under preparation and site purchased by Hart-Bartlett-Sturtevant Grain Co., Kansas City, Mo., for a grain elevator. The terminal will have highway and railway connections. At Nebraska City, Nebr., at approximate mile 579.6, the Nebraska City Dock Board has completed a 50,000-cubic-yard-fill for river-front improvement protected by stone riprap and has provided a temporary wooden platform and a 10- to 15-ton Wiley stiff leg derrick with a 60-foot boom for loading and unloading barges. The Hart-Bartlett-Sturtevant Grain Co. of Kansas City, Mo., have in operation a million-bushel grain elevator. The ter- minal facilities are served by two railroads and paved highway and are open for public use. At Plattsmouth, Nebr., approximately 1 mile above the railroad bridge, Cass County has completed construction of a concrete floored dock (56 by 250 feet) and a warehouse of wood and cor- rugated-metal construction. Highway connections have been pro- vided and railway connections and additional handling and storage facilities are to be provided. At Omaha, Nebr., at approximately mile 632.3, about 0.35 miles upstream from the Douglas Street Bridge, the city has started construction of a dock which will consist of a steel-sheet-pile bulk- head wall and earth fill 500 feet long, a concrete dock 66 feet by 300 feet, a steel warehouse 30 feet by 100 feet, with rollaway roof, a gantry crane, and a grain elevator with a capacity of 100,000 bushels. The facilities will be served by 14 railroads and paved highways, and will be open for general public use. The Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. has completed a temporary ter- minal, at approximate mile 64.06, 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 launch- ing of floating equipment. At Sioux City, Iowa, tentative plans have been made to estab- lish a dock area by means of a sheet-steel piling sea wall and a dredged fill at approximate mile 759. It is planned to construct a sheet-steel warehouse and appropriate platforms. The facilities will be served by both railway and highway. Promotion of terminals has been indicated at the following towns: Blair, Tekamah, and Decatur, Nebr., Onawa, Whiting, Council Bluffs, Blencoe, and California Junction, Iowa. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce.

The total cost of all maintenance prosecuted with regular funds was $2,697,304.80. JIVERS AND) ARBORS-OMAHA, NEBR., I)ISTRICT 1 1707 The total cost for the fiscal year was $5,592,536.18, of which $2,895,231.38 was for new work, and $2,697.304.80 for mainte- nance. The expenditures were $5,368,842.36; 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 77 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year, based on the present approved estimate of cost. Kansas City, Mo., to Rulo, Nebr.-The work between Kansas City, Mo. (upper end of Quindaro Bend), and Rulo, Nebr., was approximately 84 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The majority 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. 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, 1948, was 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 110,000 cubic feet per second. The practical draft at ordinary stages of the river is 6 feet. Commercial navigation was inaugu- rated on this section of the river in May 1939. During the war years such navigation declined until October 1946 when common carrier transportation 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 Rulo, Nebr., and Omaha, Nebr., was approximately 79 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 wih curtailment of work during the war, inade- quate 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. 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 localities 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 Octo- ber 1946 when common carrier transportation was inaugurated. Omaha, Nebr., to Sioux City, Iowa.-The work between Omaha, Nebr., and Sioux City, Iowa, was approximately 68 percent com- Plete at the end of the fiscal year. Loss of alinement and progres- 804711-48-Vol. 2-14 1708 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 sive destruction of control works is in progress in various parts of this section of the river, due to natural deterioration of the struc- tures coupled with curtailment of work during the war, inade- quate 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 condi- tions limit practical drafts during ordinary navigable discharges to 3/2 feet from Sioux City to Blair, Nebr., and 4/2 feet from Blair to Omaha, Nebr. Under the existing project for systematic work on the 9-foot channel, the work accomplished includes 985,185 linear feet of re- vetment for permanently fixing the banks, 2,136,865 linear feet of pile dikes, 9,842 linear feet of rock dikes, 143,884 linear feet of abatis, 2,287 linear feet of jetties, recrowning 700 linear feet of an existing levee, 19,218 linear feet of retards for stabilization of channel widths, construction of five impermeable structures to close off auxiliary channels, construction of 48,237 linear feet of asphalt revetment, effecting three channel cut-offs and removal of 74,732,363 cubic yards of material dredged from the channel to obtain project depth and width.

MISSOURI RIVER, SIOUX CITY, IOWA, TO FORT BENTON, MONT. Location.-See page 1704. Through this section the river flows across the States of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, forming the northeastern boundary of Nebraska; Previousprojects.-Projectswere adopted and modified by river and harbor acts as follows: August 14, 1876, above the mouth of the Yellowstone; June 18, 1878, Sioux City; March 3, 1879, Vermilion; and August 2, 1882, Sioux City to Fort Benton. Modi- fications 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 ih the removal of snags and rocks from the channel and in bank protection at various locations between Sioux City, Iowa, and Fort Benton, Mont. Since the expiration of the 5-year limit, funds have been expended for snagging and maintenance of structures. The length of section included in the projects is 1,440.4 miles and consists of two parts: Sioux City, Iowa, to Fort Peck Dam, Mont. (mile 1868.7), and Fort Peck Dam to Fort Benton, Mont. At Sioux City the ordinary fluctuation is about 10.4 feet, and the extreme fluctuation (freshet of 1892 from Floyd River) is about 25 feet. At Fort Benton the ordinary fluctuation is about 7.3 feet, and the extreme fluctuation, about 19 feet. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 25, 1912 (H. Doc. No. 91, 62d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-Worksfor the benefit of the public construc- ted by private interests were: RIVERS AND .HARBIORS-OMAIIA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1713 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 percent complete with 1,200 linear feet of fill and bulkhead in place. No work was accomplished this year. Cost data is not available. Terminal facilities.-The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance work was accomplished during the year at a cost of $2,588.37. The ex- penditures during the fiscal year were $2,588.37. Condition at end of fiscal year.-As cutting of the bank is less marked above Sioux City and is of little moment above the mouth of the Yellowstone River, demand for bank protection work is not so urgent as on the lower Missouri River. In 1878, rock dams and dikes were built between Fort Benton and Carroll, Mont., to con- centrate the meager low-water flow, and the rapids were cleared of rocks and boulders but, lacking maintenance, the river has re- verted for the most part to the previous state. From April to October, inclusive, drafts of 30 inches are practi- cable to Pierre, 26 inches to the Yellowstone River, and 18 inches to the Fort Peck Dam. Depths which will accommodate large boats are available on the Fort Peck Reservoir and drafts of 22 inches are practicable from the reservoir to Fort Benton. The cost of new work under the existing project to June 30, 1948, Was $516,484.77, and the cost of maintenance was $428,456.81, a total of $944,941.58. The expenditures were $944,941.58. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is pro- posed for the fiscal years 1949 and 1950.

CHERRY CREEK AND TRIBUTARIES, COLORADO Location.-Cherry Creek is a small tributary of the South Platte River. It has its source 11 miles south and east of Monument, Colo,, in El Paso County, flows generally north, and joins the South Platte River within the city limits of Denver. (See U.S.G.S. map, Parker, Colo., quadrangle, scale 1:31, 680.) Existing project.-The'plan of improvement provided for the construction of a reservoir on Cherry Creek at the site of the old Castlewood Dam and a second reservoir on the lower river at the Cherry Creek Reservoir site, No. 1, 6.75 miles above the city limits of Denver, to protect that city against any flood reasonably to be expected and to eliminate practically all further damages from Cherry Creek floods in the agricultural valley above Denver. Pres- ent 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 construc- tion 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 pro- vides reservoir storage capacity of 95,000 acre-feet below the spill- way canal invert and surcharge storage of. 136,400 acre-feet above this elevation. Initial plan of operation is for flood control only. The plan of operation in the ultimate development for multiple- purpose use includes 10,000 acre-feet of dead storage for silting, 85,000 acre-feet for conservation and other uses, and surcharge storage capacity for flood-control purposes. 1791 1792 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 1948, is $14,720,000 for construction and $980,000 for lands and damages, a total of $15,- 700,000. 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 accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers was authorized by flood control acts as follows: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 18, 1941 The initiation and partial accomplishment of the II.

Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Construction of the outlet works was continued, contract plans and specifications for the construction of the embankment and excavation of the spillway canal were completed and construction operations were initiated. Relocations of the gas pipe line and its appurtenant communica- tion line were completed. The relocation of the Bell System and private telephone lines, the R.E.A. power line and State Highway No. 83, including the construction of a highway bridge over the spillway canal, were initiated. Government furnished materials, purchased under supply contracts and to be installed under the major construction contracts, have been received or are under contract. Hydraulic model studies of the outlet stilling basin and irrigation inlet structure were completed. All lands necessary for access, borrow, and construction purposes have been acquired. The total cost during the fiscal year was $3,081,338.15, all for new work; expenditures were $2,946,530.51. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 31 percent complete. Construction of all major features of the initial phase of the project is under way. The impervious earth cut-off is complete. The concrete outlet conduit is complete and ready for backfilling; the outlet stilling basin anchors and a portion of the floor slab have been placed; and the lower portion of the intake tower and trash-rack structure is under construction. The outlet works is about 59 percent complete. The reservoir end of the spillway canal has been excavated and the canal is about 40 per- cent complete. The embankment toe drain, piezometers, settle- ment gages, and hydrostatic pressure cells are being installed, and construction of the embankment has been initiated. Work remain- FLOOD) CO NTROL-DENVER, COLO., DISTRICT 1793 ing to be done consists of completion of outlet works and installa- tion of slide gates and appurtenances, water level transmitter, in- dicator, and recorder and overhead crane; completion of the em- bankment construction and the spillway canal excavation; comple- tion of highway and utilities relocations and construction of high- way bridge over spillway canal; planning and construction of recreational facilities, miscellaneous items of work such as land- scaping, caretaker's quarters, service bridge, county road reloca- tions, and access roads; and acquisition of reservoir lands and flowage rights.

MORRISON, BEAR CREEK, COLO. Location.-This project is located on Bear Creek at Morrison, Colo., about 10 miles southwest of Denver. Existing project.-The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944. (See H. D. 356, 78th Cong., 1st sess., which contains the latest published map.) The general plan of improvement provides for the protection from flood damage of the residents, tourists, and property of the town of Morrison, Colorado. The plan of improvement in and immediately adjacent to Morrison provides for clearing, widening, and channel rectification of Bear Creek and construction of a concrete lined channel located so as to obtain optimum entrance and confluence conditions, for Mt. Vernon Creek tributary. The estimated Federal cost for construction, revised in 1948, is $415,000, and the esti- mated local cost, revised in 1947, is $6,000 for lands and damages. 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 the Army. Local interests have expressed a willingness to provide the necessary cooperation. Formal assurances have not been re- quested. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preparationof de- tailed project plans was completed. A model study was made to FLOOD CONTROL---DENVER, COLO., DISTRICT 1795 determine a feasible and economical means of providing a sound overall project design without disturbing certain existing im- provements whose relocation costs would be prohibitive. The total cost during the fiscal year was $18,365.47, all for new work; expenditures were $18,003.63. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Detailed project plans are es- sentially complete; the model study is complete except for final runs to acquire necessary data for the final design; preparation of construction plans and specifications has not been started.

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. 1799 1800 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Previousprojects.-The first lock and dam on the Ohio River was provided for by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1879. The con- struction of dams was provided for by river and 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. For expenditures on the previous 6-foot canalization see paragraph "Condition at end of fiscal year" of this report. Existing project.-This provides for the improvement of the en- tire river by the construction of locks and dams to provide a channel depth of 9 feet and for the widening of the Louisville and Portland Canal at Louisville, Ky. The project provides for a lock with usable dimensions of 110 by 600 feet at each dam and in addition an auxil- iary lock 56 by 360 feet at Emsworth, Dashields, Montgomery, and dam 41 and 110 by 360 feet at Gallipolis. Dashields is a fixed dam, while Emsworth, 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 navigable pass, the movable type dams are also provided with one or more regulating weirs. At dam 41 a canal (Louisville and Portland) extends along the left bank for a distance of 2 miles, with the locks at the lower end. Operation and care of the locks and dams were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appro- priations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. The estimate of cost of new work revised in 1948, including ex- penditures on previous projects prior to adoption of the 9-foot pro- ject in 1910, but exclusive of the Gallipolis locks and dam reported under the Kanawha River project is $164,853,000, including cost of old structures which have been replaced. The estimate of annual cost of operations and care of locks and dams, made in 1948, is $6,333,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 Construction of 54 locks with movable dams, widen- i. 1)oc. 492, 60th Cong., Ist sess. ing of the Louisville and( Portland Canal to 170 feet, andl 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 adivisable. July 18, 1918 Elimination of locks and dams in the lower river If. D)oc. 1695, 64th Cong., 2(1 sess. where the project deplth of 9 feet could be satis- factorily maintained by open channel work. Secre- tary of War authorized to substitute fixed dlams for movable dams wherever, in his opinion, they may b)e 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 dam; and locks and dams 4, 5, and 6 replaced by the Montgomery locks and dam. Locks and RIVERS AND HARBORS-OHIO RIVER LOCKS AND DAMS 1801 dams 24, 25, and 26 were replaced by Gallipolis locks and dam which was authorized by the act of August 30, 1935, and con- structed under the project for improving lower Kanawha River.

OPEN-CHANNEL WORK, OHIO RIVER Open-channel work on the Ohio River is in charge of the district engineer in whose district the work is located. For information as to the limits of the three districts on the Ohio River, as well as the district engineers in charge thereof, see page 1799. 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.-Prior to the completion of the canalization project, no project depth had been fixed by Congress under the pro- ject for open-channel work, but in order to properly aid packet and barge navigation it was found necessary to secure a low-water chan- nel having a minimum depth of from 4 to 6 feet, and a width, de- pending upon the difficulty of running the channel, of from 400 to 600 feet; also to permit the movement of large coal tows, which movement occurred at stages of water exceeding 10 feet, it was found necessary to remove the points of projecting bars which formed at various locations along the river. The accomplishment of this purpose involved the concentration of current by closing back channels at islands with low dams, the contraction and straighten- ing of wide, open channels by low dikes, the dredging of bars and shoals, and the removal of snags and wrecks. 1808 REPOR'r OF CHIEF OF ENGINEEtRS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 con- templated by the canalization project. In order to properly facili- tate the movement of the present-day barge tows, it has been found necessary to provide channel widths, varying according to the diffi- culty of running the channel, of from 500 to 750 feet. The accom- plishment of this work not only involves dredging of bars and shoals, but the construction and maintenance of 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 Pitsburgh, Pa., to 80 feet at Cincinnati, Ohio, with 57.2 feet at Louisville, Ky. (head of falls), 53.8 feet at Evansville, Ind., and 59.5 feet at Cairo, Ill (mouth of river). The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1948, is $20,216,000 which includes $200,000 for bank-protection work near Evans- ville, Ind., authorized in the 1930 River and Harbor Act. The estimate of annual cost of maintenance, made in 1948, is $1,480,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized 1)ocu ments 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 (listance of 981 miles. I t provided for the removal of all obstructions which tend( to endanger steamboat navigation.

I)oc. 409, 69th Cong., 1st sess. near Evansville, Ind., and a 200-foot strip along the upstream bank and for bank protection at an esti- mated cost of $200,000. Operation of snag boats on the Ohio River below the Pennsyl- vania State line was included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved Janu- ary 21, 1927, authorizing the construction of ice piers for general open-channel work, imposes the condition that before work is be- gun on any ice pier, local interests convey to the United States free of cost such riparian rights as may be deemed necessary in con- nection with the improvement at the locality (H. Doc. 187, 67th Cong., 2d sess.). Existing ice piers are adequate for present pur- poses and local cooperation is not needed since no additional con- struction is under consideration. RIVERS AND HARBORS-OHIO RIVER LOCKS AND DAMS 1809 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 justifi- able and no local cooperation is required. Terminal facilities.-See page 1804. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Dredging where re- quired to provide an adequate and dependable channel of project depth at minimum pool conditions was executed. The dikes and revetments were maintained and the routine work of maintaining navigation aids, removing snags, making channel studies and hydrographic surveys was performed as required.

Location.-This river is formed by the junction of Poor and Clover Forks in Harlan County, Ky., about 692.8 miles above its mouth, and flows west to Burnside, Ky., from whence it makes a loop southwestward into Tennessee, passes Nashville, and returns northwestward to Kentucky, emptying into the Ohio near Smith- land, Ky. (See U. S. Geological Survey base maps of Tennessee and Kentucky.) Previous projects-Below Nashville.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1832, made the first appropriation for this section of the river, but the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, was the first to define a project for its improvement. The River and Harbor Act of September 19, 1890, adopted a special project for the im- 1813 1814 REPORT OF OhIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 provement of the mouth of the river. For further details see page 1901 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1208 of Annual Report for 1938. Above Nashville.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of August 14, 1876, March 3, 1881, and July 5, 1884. For further details see page 1898 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1208 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project-Below Nashville.-This provides for the con- struction of locks and dams A, B, C, D, E, and F, and dredging in the 43.6 miles from lock F to the mouth to secure 6-foot navigation at extreme low water from the mouth to lock and dam 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 following table shows the principal features of the locks and dams included in the project: Lock A Lock 13 Lock C Nearest railroad station-.....

The extreme fluctuation in the stage of the river varies from about 32 to 64 feet at different localities. Fluctuations below ex- treme high water are so variable that it is impracticable to fix the stage commonly referred to on other streams as ordinary high water. RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1815 The estimate of cost for new work for the section below Nash- ville, revised in 1947, is $5,035,802, excluding amounts expended on previous projects. The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946 (Public No. 525, 79th Cong., 2d sess.), authorized the further improvement of the Cumberland River between the mouth and Nashville for 9-foot navigation by the construction of moderate height dams at Kut- tawa (Eureka), Dover, and Cheatham sites, 32.2, 87.6, and 146.4 miles, respectively, above the mouth. The cost revised in 1948 of canalization with locks 110 feet wide and 600 feet long, is estima- ted as $30,000,000. The prosecution of the authorized modification of the existing project on the Cumberland River will eliminate locks A to F, inclusive, below Nashville, and lock 1, above Nash- ville. (See H. Doc. 761, 79th Cong., 2d sess.) The existing project for the section below Nashville was author- ized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July 13, 1892 Provision made for lock A...........................

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 Waitsboro Shoals (a distance of 324.6 miles) and 4-foot naviga- tion from Waitsboro Shoals to Burnside (3 miles). The project also provides for the periodic removal of snags and similar ob- structions from Nashville (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.).

The extreme fluctuation in the stage of the river varies from about 42 to 71 feet at different localities. Fluctuations below ex- treme high water are so variable that it is impracticable to fix the stage commonly referred to on other streams as ordinary high Water. The estimated cost for new work for the section above Nashville, revised in 1947, is $14,600,000, including $25,000 for raising dam 1 in accordance with the River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930, and excluding the costs of projected locks and dams 16 and 17 which will be eliminated by the Wolf Creek reservoir. 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 15 are given in the table above. The estimated annual cost for maintenance of both sections of the river, revised in 1947, is $450,000, of which $375,000 is for operating and care of locks and dams. The existing project for the section above Nashville was author- ized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents ' ' Aug. 5, 1886 Provision made for locks and'dams; the Secretary of Annual Report 1884, p. 1663.....

S. ARMY, 1948 Local cooperation.-Below Nashville: None required. Above Nashville: Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-At Nashville, Tenn., there is a five-story terminal building 300 feet long and 140 feet wide, built of reinforced concrete, having large and convenient loading platforms, electric elevator and crane, with railroad connections, municipally owned and open for public use. At Clarksville, Tenn., there is a privately owned warehouse with inclined tramway. Privately owned termin- als for the transfer of petroleum products have been constructed at Dover, Clarksville, and Nashville, Tenn. There are also privately owned terminals located at Barret rock quarries, Kentucky, used for the transfer of riprap rock; near Vicksburg, Pinckneyville, and Dycusburg, Ky., for the transfer of fluorspar; at Clarksville, Tenn., for the transfer of sand and gravel; and at Nashville, Tenn., for the transfer of sand and gravel and forest products. In addition to the foregoing there are many unimproved private landings along the river. The facilities are considered adequate for existing com- merce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.- (a) Below Nashville: Site surveys, foundation investigations, and engineering studies in- cident to the development of definite plans for the Kuttawa (Eureka), Dover, and Cheatham dams under the authorized modi- fication of the existing project for 9-foot navigation were partially completed during the year at a new work cost of $14,974.51. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of removing 1,580 snags, 150 cubic yards of mud, and 50 tons of drift from the channel; dredging 7,083 cubic yards of sand and gravel at Kuttawa bar (mile 40.4) ; and dredging 1,626 cubic yards of sand and gravel at lower approach to lock A (mile 150.4). The cost of maintenance was $28,907.12. (b) Above Nashville: No new work was accomplished in this section of the river. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of removing 3,523 snags and 3,710 cubic yards of mud from the channel. The cost of maintenance was $39,476.24. (c) Operating and care of locks and dams: All locks except 21 were operated as required and the structures and appurtenances were maintained in serviceable condition. Custodial services only were performed at lock 21. The following items were repaired: Filling valves at locks C, B, A, 1, 2, and 3; emptying valves at lock A, 2, 3, 5, and 6; lock gates at locks D and 4; dams E and C; haulage unit at lock F; dwellings at locks 3 and 4; domestic water supply systems at locks E, D, C, B, A, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8; floodlight systems at locks F, E, D, C, B, A, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8; and lock gate oper- ating capstans at locks F, E, D, C, B, A, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8. Other operations included dredging of lock pits at locks F, A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7; grading bank along upper approach to lock 5; placing stone fill below dam D; and cleaning and painting spare lock gates stored at lock A. The cost of operating and care was $602,215.94. The total costs during the fiscal year were $685,573.81, of which $14,974.51 was for new work, $68,383.36 for maintenance, and $602,215.94 for operating and care. The expenditures were $668,092.52. RIVERS ANI) IARBORS-NASIHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1819 Condition at end of fiscal year.-(a) Below Nashville: All locks and dams under the existing 6-foot navigation project for this sec- tion of the river have been completed, affording full project depth between the mouth and Nashville throughout the entire year. The initiation of work on lock and dam A in June 1895 marked the com- mencement of construction under the project. The dates on which the individual locks and dams were completed and placed in opera- tion are given in the tables under paragraph "Existing project." Surveys, foundation investigations, and engineering studies in- cident to the development of detailed plans for the Kuttawa (Eureka), Dover, and Cheatham dams under the authorized modi- fication of the existing project for 9-foot navigation were approxi- mately 20 percent complete. Mapping of the Kuttawa (Eureka) and Cheatham sites and foundation exploration work at the latter site were essentially complete, and detailed project plans for Cheatham lock and dam were about 30 percent complete. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1948, were $5,388,- 745.90, including $685,000 from Public Works funds. Of this amount, $5,070,987.03, was for new work, and $317,758.87 for maintenance. (b) Above Nashville: The initiation of work on lock and dam 1 in September 1888 marked the commencement of construction under the existing project for this section of the river. Locks and dams 1 to 8, inclusive, and 21 have been completed; the project as a whole being about 40 percent complete. The dates on which the completed structures were placed in operation are given in the tables under paragraph "Existing project". Projected locks and dams 16 and 17 have been eliminated and existing lock and dam 21 (permanently closed on May 4, 1947) will be inundated by Wolf Creek Reservoir now under construction. The construction of locks and dams 9 to 15, inclusive, remaining under the existing project, is not considered justified in the interest of commerce and navigation at this time. The existing locks and dams provide, at extreme low water, a navigable channel 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 Waitsboro 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 practically certain from February 1 to May 1, and usually possible from January 1 to June 1, Four-foot navigation is usually possible from February 1 to May 1, but no period can be fixed during which it is reasonably certain. Navigation'of vessels drawing over 4 feet is uncertain at all times. When the Celina gage reads 1 foot, 16-inch navigation is practicable, and for each additional foot of reading on this gage the navigable depth is increased 0.8 foot. The expen- 804711-48-Vol. 2-21 1820 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 ditures for maintenance have kept the channel above Nashville fairly free from snags and surface obstructions. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1948, were $4,062,- 271.54, of which $3,760,599.12 was for new work and $301,672.42 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 $4,041,937.31. The total costs under the existing project for the entire stream were $13,492,954.75, of which $8,831,586.15, including $685,000 from PublicS Works Funds was for new work, $619,431.29 for maintenance, and $4,041,937.31 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $13,470,021.92. In addition, the sum of $3,266,- 705.82 was expended between July 1, 1905, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $255,590.63 plus accounts receivable of $1,444.31 together with an allotment of $863,700, made in July 1948, a total of $1,120,734.94, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1948----__-__.C--__ _..--.___ $14,601.77 New work (below Nashville; Kuttawa (Eureka), Dover, and Cheatham dams) (hired labor): Completion of detailed plans (July 1, 1948, to June 30, 1949) ------------------------------ $75,814.49 Preparation of contract plans and specifications (Cheatham) (Jan. 1, 1949, to June 30, 1949) ... 89,000.00 Total, new work ---------..------------ _ .164,814.49 Maintenance (hired labor) (July 1, 1948 to June 30, 1949): Dredging and snagging where required to maintain navigable channels (operation of derrick boats, Tishomingo and No. 9, and attendant plant, approximately 7) months at $19,500 per month) 141,200.00 Shoal surveys, where required ................ 4,000.00 Navigation inspection--------------------__ 9,500.00 Painting clearance gages_---------------------- 3,086.83 Total, maintenance------.-.-. .----------------- 157,786.83 Maintenance (operating and care): Operation------ ------------------........ 363,900.00 Ordinary maintenance and repairs -------------- 74,631.85 Improvement and reconstruction --------------. 345,000.00 Total, maintenance (operating and care) ------------------ 783,531.85 Total for all work..--_ _ -------------- ...-.--. 1,120,734.94 RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1821 The additional sum of $3,780,675 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950, as follows: New work (below Nashville; Kuttawa (Eureka), Dover, and Cheatham dams): Preparation of contract plans and specifications (July 1, 1949, to June 30, 1950) (hired labor)_- $265,000 Initiation of construction (Cheatham) (Feb. 1, 1950 to June 30, 1950): Lands (hired labor)---------------------- 270,000 Construction (contract) ____---------- 2,000,000 Total, new work----------- ------------------ $2,535,000 Maintenance (July 1, 1949, to June 30, 1950) (hired labor): Dredging and snagging where required to maintain navigable channels (operation of derrick boat Tisho- mingo and attendant plant, approximately 5 months at $18,000 per month) _---__------------ 90,000 Shoal surveys, where required- ------ -- ----- 10,000 Navigation inspection---------------------------- 9,000 Painting clearance gages---------- 3,000 Total, maintenance ---------- ---------- - -_____112,000 Maintenance (operating and care): Operation ---------------------------------- 391,500 Ordinary maintenance and repairs ----------------- 160,175 Improvement and reconstruction.------------------ 582,000 Total, maintenance (operating and care) _------- - - 1,133,675 Total for all work---------- ------------------------- 3,780,675 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948-----.... . -------- $9,657,839.09 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948__ , _ ____ ___ __ 7,928,074.42 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948-....... 17,585, 913.51 Undistributed costs, June 30, 1948. .- 9,775.37 Net total cost to June 30, 1948------------------- --- 17,576,138.14 Plus accounts receivable, June 30, 1948 --------------------- 1,444.31 Gross total costs to June 30, 1948---.... ------ - 17,577,582.45 Minus accounts payable, June 30, 1948_..- .----------- 14,601.77 Net total expenditures- - --- -- --- 17,562,980.68 Unexpended balance, June 30, 1948----------.-.- . 255,590.63 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1948----------- 17,818,571.31 Fiscal year ending June 30 1944 1945. 1946 1947 1948 Cost of new work------ $20, 211.00 $14, 974.51 Cost of maintenance............ $336,402. 49 $390, 304. 81 $378, 172. 95 350, 830. 97 670, 599. 30 Total cost-----------................ 336, 402. 49 390, 304. 81 378,172. 95 371, 041. 97 685, 573.81 Total expended......... ....... 339, 211. 57 395, 234. 91 369, 523.49 383, 144.99 668, 092. 52 Allotted - . .__-. ._____.- . - -2, 800.00 594, 750.00 450, 400.00 60, 300.00 917, 500.00 1822 REPORT OF CIHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Existing project.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. 328, 71st Cong., 2d sess.), authorized the permanent im- RIVERS AND IIARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1823 Provement of the river for a navigable depth of 9 feet at low water from the mouth to Knoxville, Tenn., a distance of about 650 miles, to be obtained by the construction of low dams; provided, that under the provisions of the Federal Water Power Act a high dam With locks may be substituted for any two or more of the low dams and built by private interests, States, or municipalities; and Provided further, that in case high dams are built before the United States shall have built the projected locks and low dams Which are to be replaced, the United States shall contribute to the cost of the substituted structures an amount equal to the estimated cost of the work of navigation for which substitution is made. Rlouse The estimated cost of the authorized project as contained in Document 328, Seventy-first Congress, second session, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $74,709,000 for new work and $40,000 annually for the maintenance and Operation of each lock and dam. The latest published maps are in the project document. The above-mentioned act also authorized the appropriation of $5,000,000 for the prosecution of work on this project. The only construction performed by the Corps of Engineers thereunder Was the construction of the lock at the General Joe Wheeler Dam and miscellaneous 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 Tennes- See 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 Authority Act of 1933, approved May 18, 1933 (Public, No. 17, 73d Cong.), as amended by an act approved August 31, 1935, the Tennessee Valley Authority is given power to construct such dams in the Tennessee River as will provide a 9-foot channel and maintain a Water supply for same from Knoxville to its mouth. The Tennessee Valley Authority program provides for obtaining the authorized 9-foot project by the construction of high dams and locks and utilization of certain locks and dams previously con- structed under the jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers.

RIVERS AND HIARBORS-NASIVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1825 The functions of the Corps of Engineers since adoption of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act in 1933 have been those of cooper- ation with the Authority through preparing (with Corps of Engi- neers forces and funds) the designs of locks at Pickwick, Gunters- ville, Chickamauga, Watts Bar, and Fort Loudoun Dams; and, in accordance with the general navigation laws placing control and supervision over navigable waters in the Secretary of the Army, the Corps of Engineers: Operates and maintains all locks, lifts, or Other facilities in aid of navigation; maintains navigation chan- nels and safety harbors by performing all necessary dredging and snagging operations; examines and passes upon plans for all bridges, wharves, or other structures in navigable waters prior to construction, including construction plans involving the alteration or modification of existing channels; establishes harbor lines where essential to the preservation and protection of harbors; provides for removal of unlawful structures, including wrecks; cooperates and reviews plans of individuals, corporations-municipal or pri- vate-in the improvement of navigable waters at their own expense and risk; issues rules and regulations governing the open- ing and operation of drawbridges, the transportation and dump- ing of dredgings or other material into navigable waters; Promulgates rules and regulations governing the use, administra- tion, and navigation of navigable waters, including harbors thereof; compiles statistics of waterborne commerce. The division of responsibility regarding the project is outlined in memorandum 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 contribute to the cost of the substituted structures an amount equal to the estimated cost of the works of navigation for Which substitution is made. Terminal facilities.-Public use river terminals with railroad connections, owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority, have been constructed at Decatur and Guntersville, Ala., and Chattanooga and Knoxville, Tenn. River terminals with railroad connections, municipally owned, have been constructed at Sheffield, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn. The other public terminals are mostly unim- proved landings. Government owned facilities for the transfer of coal are located at Hales Bar Dam, Tenn. and Huntsville Arsenal, Ala. Near Johnsonville, Tenn., there is a privately owned railroad siding. Railroad inclines and sidings are available at Sheffield, Decatur, Hobbs Island, Guntersville, and Bridgeport, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn. Privately owned terminals have been con- structed for the transfer of certain commodities as follows: Auto- mobiles and miscellaneous merchandise at Guntersville, Ala.; coal at South Pittsburg and Chattanooga, Tenn.; grain at Decatur and Guntersville, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn.; petroleum products at Sheffield, Decatur and Guntersville, Ala., and Perryville, Chat- tanooga, and Knoxville, Tenn. In addition to the foregoing there 1826 REPORT' OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 are many unimproved private landings along the river. The facili- ties are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No new work was accomplished. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of a condition survey at Little Chain bar (mile 17.5) ; a shoal survey of the lower approach to Pickwick Landing lock; painting warning stripes on ends of guide and guard walls at Wilson lock; and inspection of navigation channel. The cost of maintenance was $18,569.71. Operating and care of locks and dams: All locks were operated as required, and lock appurtenances and stand-by plant were maintained. At Pickwick Landing lock, four dwellings were painted; emptying and filling valves were repaired and painted; all lock gates and wall armor were repainted; and an auxiliary air compressor was installed in the operations building. At lock 1, emergency repairs were made on the tow haulage unit and on the hydraulic oil lines crossing the lock chamber; and the concrete walkway across the reservation lawn was raised and leveled. At Wheeler lock, a breakwater was constructed at the upstream end of the control building; the lighting standards on the lock walls were relocated; the electric water pump was rewound; mitering devices were installed on the lock gates; painting of the water tank was completed; and windows were installed on the rear porch of one dwelling. At Guntersville lock, new office lighting fixtures were installed; mitering devices were installed on the lock gates; emptying and filling valves were repaired and painted; lock gates and wall armor were repainted; and the removal of wooden cribs below the lock was commenced. At Hales bar lock, the roadway on the reservation was repaired, and four dwellings were painted. At Chickamauga lock, new office lighting fixtures, lock gates miter- ing devices, and handrails around the lock pit were installed; emptying and filling valves were repaired and painted; the electric motor on one filling valve was rewound and the gear reducer bear- ings renewed; all gates, wall armor, and floating mooring bits were cleaned and painted; and the interior of the operations building was repainted. At Fort Loudoun lock, minor repairs were made on the tow haulage unit and gate operating machinery, and the in- stallation of handrails around the lock pit was commenced. Other items included the renewal of the oil pump gears in one gate gear reducer at Watts Bar lock, the resurfacing of the roadway on Wilson lock reservation, and the initiation of painting operations on four dwellings at Kentucky lock. The cost of operating and care was $487,749.01. The total costs during the fiscal year were $506,318.72, of which $18,569.71 was for maintenance and $487,749.01 for operating and care. The expenditures were $475,723.63. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionunder the existing project was commenced in January 1933, when work was initiated on Wheeler lock. With the opening of Kentucky lock for permanent operation in September 1944, all locks and dams under the existing project had been completed, affording a navigable depth of 8 feet RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1827 between the mouth and Knoxville, Tenn. (head of river), limited by 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 remained to provide full project depth and channel width over the entire course of the river. Reconstruction of Hales Bar Dam and dredg- Ing operations in lock 1 canal by the Authority were in progress and well advanced at the end of the fiscal year. The table under the paragraph "Existing project" gives the year opened to navi- gation and other information concerning the 10 locks now in operation. The completed locks were operated and maintained under the Permanent indefinite appropriation to the end of fiscal year 1935, as follows: Hales bar, since November 1, 1913; lock (and dam) 1, since March 1, 1926; Wilson, since June 1, 1927; and Wheeler, since November 27, 1934. Subsequent to June 30, 1935, operation and maintenance of lock and dam 1, Hales bar, Wilson, and Wheeler locks have been carried on with funds appropriated for the preservation and maintenance of rivers and harbors, in addition to the following: Pickwick Land- ing lock, since September 1, 1937; Guntersville lock, since Septem- ber 1, 1937; Chickamauga lock, since October .15, 1937; Watts bar lock, since March 3, 1941; Kentucky lock, since February 10, 1942; and Fort Loudoun lock, since October 10, 1943. The total costs since the project was modified in 1930 were $8,363,678.37, of which $2,244,235.57 was for new work, $2,534,- 198.27 for maintenance, and $3,585,244.53 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $7,749,149.38. In addition, the sum of $2,889,148.75 was expended between 1890 and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the Provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation.

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 improvement provides for 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 diversion channel, there was other incidental work, which included the installation of culverts and the relocation and rebuilding of roadways and bridges. The project diverts from the business district and from a large part of the residential section the floodwaters which originate in that part of the basin lying north and west of the city, thus affording protection, in a large measure, to life and property from these headwater floods which cause the greatest damage. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1947, is $817,830. The latest (1947) approved estimate of annual cost for maintenance is $5,800. Local cooperation.-None required. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: None. Maintenance: Levees, canals, and appurtenances were maintained by hired labor at. a cost of $5,491.95. The expenditures were $6,077.43, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-New work under the existing project was completed in March 1945, when final settlement was made with the city of Middlesboro in connection with the acquisi- tion and transfer to the United States of rights-of-way and flowage easements. Construction of the canal and levee system, initiated in May 1938, was completed and the improvement placed in operation in December 1939. Relocation work was completed in September 1940. The total costs to June 30, 1948, were $842,280.73, of which $817,829.98, including $38,876.31 from Emergency Relief funds, was for new work and $24,450.75 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $842,263.47, including $38,876.31 from Emer- gency Relief funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1948, plus an allotment of $6,000, made in July 1948, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1948. ------------------------------- $13.26 Maintenance (July 1, 1948 to June 30, 1949) (hired labor): Maintenance of levees, canal, and appurtenant works-----------5,453.25 Stream gaging ------------------------------------------ 800.00 Total ------------------------- 6,266.51 FLOOD CONTROL---NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1833 The additional sum of $10,800 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, as follows: Maintenance (July 1, 1949 to June 30, 1950) (hired labor): Maintenance of levees, canal and appurtenant works------- ------ $10,000 Stream gaging...-- ---------------------------------------- 800 Total _ ....---------------------.-------------------------- 10,800 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948____----------------- $817,829.98 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948- ----------------------- -24,450.75 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948 ....------... 842,280.73 Undistributed costs, June 30, 1948---...----------------------- -4.00 Net total cost to June 30, 1948_ -------------- 842,276.73 Minus accounts payable, June 30, 1948 ---------------- 13.26 Net total expenditures ---------- --- 842,263.47 Unexpended balance, June 30, 1948______----- ---------- 266.51 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1948-....---------.... 842,529.98 __ __ Fiscal year ending June 30 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 -- I I I I Cost of new work-...------ ---- $2, 043.41 $8, 886. 24 ..---- Cost of maintenance ........--- 1, 537.03 6, 383. 80 $3, 652. 63 $5, 995.35 $5, 491.95 Total cost ----------------...................... 3, 580. 44 15, 270. 04 3, 652. 63 5, 995. 35 5, 491. 95 Total expended ..---...--........-- 3, 309. 55 15, 597. 87 3, 648. 21 5, 413. 46 6, 077. 43 Allotted............................. -4,586.33 .-----............ 5, 700.00 i i I i Balance unexpended, July 1, 1947.......................__ $643.94 Amount allotted during fiscal year..------.------------ .-.-. 5,700.00 Amount to be accounted for-........... 6,343.94 Gross amount expended- -------..---.---. $6,093.06 Less reimbursed expenditures--- --... 15.63 6,077.43 Balance unexpended, June 30, 1948......... ......---- 266.51 Outstanding liabilities, June 30, 1948 ..... 13.26 Amount covered by uncompleted contracts__ 3.00 16.26 Balance available, June 30, 1948:. --------------------- 250.25 Amount allotted in July 1948_ --------------- --.-----. -- 6,000.00 Unobligated balance available for fiscal year 1949....-------..6,250.25 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, for maintenance....................... ._ 10,800.00 7. MIDDLESBORO (YELLOW CREEK) OHIO RIVER BASIN, KY. Location.-The project is located at Middlesboro, Ky., on Yellow Creek, a tributary entering the Cumberland River about 660 miles above the mouth. Existing project.-The project provides for an addition to the existing flood protection works for the city of Middlesboro, Ky. The plan of improvement involves the construction of a series of 1834 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 earth levees 6,200 feet in length, designated as the tannery, and left bank sections; and incidental work which includes railroad and street modifications, the installation of outlet culverts and modification of the existing sewer system. The estimated cost of the project revised in 1948 is $370,000 for construction and $117,000 for lands and damages. The existing project was selected for construction under the additional authori- zation for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. The city of Middlesboro passed an order at their regular council meeting on January 14, 1946, pledging fulfillment of the required conditions of local cooperation. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No work was per- formed during the fiscal year 1948. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionhas not been com- menced. Detailed project plans have been essentially completed. The total costs and expenditures to June 30, 1948, were $16,358.93. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1948, amounting to $8,641.07 will be applied to revisions of the detailed project plans and to preparation of contract plans and specifications. The additional sum of $345,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1950 for initiation and completion of construc- tion of the project.

Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a system of levees and concrete flood walls for the Protection of Pineville and its residential suburb, Wallsend, con- sisting of the following features: About 3,500 feet of earth levees and 3,600 feet of concrete walls around Pineville, beginning at a connection with United States Highway No. 25E, approximately 700 feet southwest of the Tennessee Avenue bridge, and extending in a northeasterly, easterly, then southerly direction upstream along the left bank of the Cumberland River to rejoin the highway at a point 250 feet south of the intersection of Park Avenue and Maple Street near the upstream limit of the city; and about 3,500 feet of earth levee encompassing Wallsend on the right bank of the river, beginning and terminating within a distance of 1500 feet, in the embankment of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad which runs along the northern edge of the community. Incidental con- struction includes one pumping station each in Pineville proper and Wallsend, with appurtenant outlet works and intercepting sewers, for disposal of interior drainage; and necessary bridge and street modifications. The proposed works will afford protection for the city of Pineville and suburb, Wallsend, against floods of 1946 magnitude (maximum of record) with a 3-foot freeboard. The Project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1948, is $1,183,000 for construction (Federal) and $591,000 for lands and damages (non-Federal). Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. Subsequent to passage of the authorizing act, local interests expressed inability to fulfill the requirements. Following the flood of January 1946, however, interest in the project was renewed, and informal as- surances were furnished at a public hearing on April 27, 1946, and at a further meeting on December 22, 1947, relative to flood con- trol in the upper Cumberland River basin, that the requirements of local cooperation would be fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Prosecution of the project has been held in abeyance pending fulfillment of local cooperation. The project was restudied in connection with an investigation carried out during the year in interest of flood control in the upper Cumberland River basin, pursuant to a resolution by the Commit- tee on Flood Control of the House of Representatives, adopted March 1, 1946, and local interests now express willingness to meet the requirements of local participation if work on the improve- ment, as recommended therein, is initiated. Proposed operations.-No operations are proposed in the fiscal year 1949. On the assumption that the requirements of local co- operation will be met, the sum of $500,000 can be profitably ex- pended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, for planning and initiation of construction. 804711-48-Vol. 2-22 1836 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 Cumber- land River, and will lie within Russell, Clinton, Wayne, Pulaski, McCreary, Laurel, and Whitley Counties, Ky. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a combination earth and concrete gravity-type dam, 5,736 feet long and 240 feet in height above its lowest founda- tion; and a hydroelectric power generating plant. The dam will consist of a rolled-earth embankment section extending 3,940 feet from the right abutment across the flood plain portion of the valley, and a concrete structure, 1,796 feet in length, comprised of spill- way, power intake, and adjacent nonoverflow sections, connecting the embankment with the left abutment. The spillway will contain 6 gate-controlled conduits and will be surmounted with 10 tainter crest gates to provide for regulating and discharging flood flows. The powerhouse, a reinforced concrete structure of the conven- tional indoor type, will be located directly at the downstream base of the power intake section of the dam through which 6 penstocks will be constructed. The power installation will consist initially of three 45,000 kilowatt generating units with provisions for three additional units of like capacity to be placed at a future date. The project is one unit of a coordinated plan for the control of floods and the development of the water resources of the Cumberland River Basin, this plan in turn forming an integral part of the comprehensive plan of development for the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. At maximum controlled pool level, top of spillway crest gates, the reservoir will cover an area of 63,530 acres and provide a storage capacity of 6,089,000 acre-feet, of which 2,094,000 is allocated for flood control and 2,142,000 for power drawdown, leaving a minimum pool of 1,853,000 acre-feet available at all times for public use and conservation purposes. The drainage area controlled will be 5,810 square miles or approximately one- third of the Cumberland River Basin. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of the project, including the initial three- unit power installation, revised in 1948, is $49,488,200 for con- struction and $19,611,800 for lands and damages, a total of $69,- FLOOD CONTROL--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1837 100,000. The estimated cost of the project, including the ultimate six-unit power installation, revised in 1948, is $57,018,200 for construction and $19,611,800 for lands and damages, a total of $76,630,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work (con- tract) : Construction operations for completion of dam and ap- Purtenant works, and miscellaneous activities under supply con- tracts for materials and equipment furnished by the Government Were continued. The principal items of work under the contract for construction of the dam were brought to the following per- centages of completion: Common excavation, 52 percent; rock excavation, 96 percent; rolled fill, 35 percent; concrete placed, 49 Percent; reinforcing steel placed, 33 percent; penstock fabrication, tests and delivery, 100 percent; and penstock erection, 100 percent. Approximate quantities of the major items of work accomplished Were: Common excavation, 191,215 cubic yards; rock excavation, 68,190 cubic yards; rolled fill, 2,216,700 cubic yards; concrete Placed, 515,065 cubic yards; and reinforcing steel placed, 1,337,000 Pounds. Operations under a contract for clearing Segments A, N, D and 0 of the reservoir were initiated in May 1948, and approxi- mately 2,300 acres were cleared. Other operations included work under contracts awarded during the year for furnishing and de- livering tainter gate fixed metal and tainter gate operating ma- chinery, for preparation of detailed appraisal reports on industrial Properties in Burnside, Ky., located within the reservoir area, and for marking the clearing line in the lower portion of the reservoir. Work under the latter contract was completed in February 1948. An agreement was entered into with the State of Kentucky for its reimbursement of the Government's proportional part of the cost of eight highway and bridge relocations made necessary by the construction of the project. The State of Kentucky awarded four contracts for construction of three bridges and one highway relocation, and work under all four contracts was initiated. New work (hired labor) : Operations during the year consisted of the continuation of engineering work relative to design of power Plant, including review and revision of construction plans and specifications furnished under contract; preparation and issuance of contract plans and specifications for clearing portion of reser- Voir; continuation of stream gaging activities, and reconnaissance Surveys, throughout the reservoir area,.of. possible requirements for relocation of county roads and utilities and for new facilities in isolated areas; and commencement of compilation of informa- tion on cemeteries to be removed from reservoir. Land acquisition activities were resumed in October 1947, and approximately 20,425 acres of land within the reservoir area were acquired in fee simple, or were in process of acquisition. Negotiations with the Southern Railway Co. relative to the relocation of the Southern Railway bridge at Burnside, Ky., are nearing completion. Studies of and layout for relocation of city of Burnside are in progress. The costs for new work were $9,368,965.13, including $1,629,- 574.63 for hired labor. The expenditures were $8,420,028.81. 1838 REPORT OF CHIIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project as a whole was 29 percent complete. Preliminary work was 74 percent complete. Construction of right and left bank access roads and the provision of a temporary construction camp at the project site for Govern- ment inspection personnel have been completed. Work under the original contract for the construction of the dam and appurtenant works was begun in August 1941, but was terminated in 1943, in the interest of the war effort, when about 8 percent complete. A new continuing contract for completion of the work was awarded in February 1946. Work under the new contract was commenced in September 1946, and was approximately 48 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The status of work under other con- tracts was as follows: Clearing line survey (lower portion of reservoir), slide gates, intake gates and hoisting equipment, and draft tube pier nose castings, all 100 percent complete; cement for dam, 57 percent, and for powerhouse substructure, 14 percent; clearing Segments A, N, D and 0 of reservoir, 21 percent; tainter gate anchorages, 0 percent; tainter gate fixed metal, 0 percent; appraisal reports on industrial properties in Burnside, Kentucky, 75 percent. Work accomplished under agreement with and con- tracted for by the State of Kentucky for highway relocations in the reservoir, represented approximately 6 percent of the entire obligation of the Government under the agreement. Mapping of reservoir (731 square miles) by hired labor has been completed. Detailed inventory appraisals and investigations in connection with acquisition of lands within the reservoir have been completed on 716 of the 2,155 tracts involved. Approximately 25 percent of the necessary lands have been acquired, about 22,352 acres having been obtained in fee simple, and about 108 acres in road easements, of which 56 acres were donated. Total costs to June 30, 1948, were $20,578,850.40 for new work, of which $3,405,554.09 was for hired labor. The total expenditures were $19,309,018.21.

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 plan of improvement provides for con- Struction of a concrete gravity-type dam, 1717 feet long and 185 feet in height above its lowest foundation; and a hydroelectric Power generating plant. The dam consists of spillway and power intake sections across the flood plain portion of the valley width, flanked by nonoverflow transition sections terminating in the abut- raents. Four gate-controlled conduits through the base of the spill- Way section and six tainter crest gates provide for regulating and discharging flood flows. The powerhouse, a reinforced concrete Structure of the conventional indoor type, will be located directly at the downstream base of the power intake section of the dam through which three penstocks were constructed. The power instal- lation will consist initially of two 18,000 kilowatt generating units With provisions for a third unit of like capacty to be placed at a future date. The project is one unit of a coordinated plan for the control of floods and the development of the water resources of the Cumberland River Basin, this plan in turn forming an integral Part of the comprehensive plan of development for the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. At maximum controlled pool level, top of spill- Way crest gates, the reservoir covers an area of 30,990 acres and provides a storage capacity of 1,706,000 acre-feet of which 353,000 is allocated for flood control and 496,000 for power drawdown, leav- ing a minimum pool of 857,000 acre-feet available at all times for public use and conservation purposes. The drainage area controlled is 935 square miles or 99 percent of the Obey River Basin. The Project was selected for construction under the general authoriza- tion for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of the project, including the initial two-unit power installation, revised in 1947, is 1842 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 $19,760,400 for construction and $4,509,600 for lands and damages, a total of $24,270,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28 1938, applies.. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work (contract) : Construction of the power plant, initiated in July 1946, was con- tinued throughout the year. The principal items of construction under the contract were brought to the following percentages of completion: Common excavation, 72 percent; rock excavation, 100 percent; compacted fill, 93 percent; concrete placed, 94 percent; reinforcing steel placed, 100 percent; and structural steel erected, 97 percent. Approximate quantities of the major items of work accomplished were: Common excavation, 4,065 cubic yards; rock excavation, 320 cubic yards; compacted fill, 2,475 cubic yards; con- crete placed, 4,630 cubic yards; reinforcing steel placed, 474,630 pounds; and structural steel erected, 519,330 pounds. Miscellaneous activities under supply contracts for materials and equipment fur- nished by the Government were continued. New work (hired labor): Operations during the year included continuation of checking shop drawings pertaining to power plant construction and preliminary work for reservoir management and public use facilities; development of two public parks and numer- ous tent camping sites; and institution of malarial control proce- dures. Maintenance (hired labor) : The dam and appurtenances were cared for, and stream gaging was continued during the year. Oper- ations under the reservoir management program, including reser- voir inspection and patrol work, leasing of commercial recreational sites, and leasing of surplus lands for grazing and agricultural pur- poses were continued. 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- fourth of the year, with a maximum discharge of 7,800 cubic feet per second. The average pool elevation was about 647 feet, which is 16 feet above future minimum power pool. The maximum pool elevation was 652.4 feet, which is 1.4 feet above spillway crest. Stor- age in the reservoir varied from a minimum of 1,058,000 acre-feet in January 1948 to a maximum of 1,392,000 acre-feet in March 1948 following a flood period in February and March 1948. No releases were made during the flood period from February 9 to February 26, 1948, and the gain in storage amounted to 273,000 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 0.5 feet and at Nashville, Tenn., by 1.5 feet. The costs were $1,413,376.08, of which $1,366,710.86 was for new work and $46,665.22 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,348,166.53. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project as a whole was 91 percent complete. Preliminary work was 95 percent complete. The dam and its appurtenances, construction of which was commenced in March 1942, was completed, and placed in operation for flood FLOOD CONTROL--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1843 control only, in October 1943. Construction of the relocated Ten- nessee State Highway No. 42 bridge, commenced October 1942, Was completed in December 1945.

CENTER HILL RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, TENN. Location.The site of the Center Hill Dam is on the Canev Fork River, 26.6 miles above its confluence with the Cumberland River (mile 309.2) at Carthage, Tenn. It is in De Kalb County, Tenn., and is about 55 miles east of Nashville, Tenn., 30 miles north of 1McMinnville, Tenn., 20 miles west of Cookeville, Tenn., and 14 miles southeast of Carthage Tenn. The Center Hill Reservoir will extend about 64 miles up the main stream and about 10 miles up Falling Water River, and will lie within De Kalb, Putnam, White, and Warren Counties, Tenn. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for con- struction of a combination earth and concrete gravity-type dam, 2,160 feet long and 240 feet in height above its lowest foundation; and a hydroelectric power generating plant. The dam will consist of a rolled-earth embankment section extending 778 feet from the left abutment across the flood plain portion of the valley, and a concrete structure, 1,382 feet in length, comprised of spillway, Power intake, and adjacent nonoverflow sections, connecting the embankment with the right abutment. The spillway will contain six gate-controlled conduits and will be surmounted with eight tainter crest gates to provide for regulating and discharging flood flows. In addition to the main dam structure, the project provides for construction of a rolled-earth dike, 770 feet in length, to close a saddle in the reservoir rim on the right bank near the dam site. The powerhouse, a reinforced concrete structure of the conventional indoor type, will be located directly at the downstream base of the Power intake section of the dam through which three penstocks Will be constructed. The power installation will consist initially of three 45,000 kilowatt generating units. The project is one unit of a coordinated plan for the control of floods and the development of the water resources of the Cumberland River Basin, this plan in turn forming an integral part of the comprehensive plan of develop- ment for the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. At maximum controlled Pool level, top of spillway crest gates, the reservoir will cover an area of 23,060 acres and provide a storage capacity of 2,092,000 acre-feet, of which 762,000 is allocated for flood control and 492,000 for power drawdown, leaving a minimum pool of 838,000 acre-feet available at all times for public use and conservation pur- Poses. The drainage area controlled will be 2,195 square miles or 1846 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 approximately four-fifths of the Caney Fork River Basin. The project was selected for construction under the general authoriza- tion for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of the project, including the three-unit power installation, revised in 1948, is $36,552,550 for construction and $6,787,450 for lands and damages, a total of $43,- 340,000.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations during the year included additional geological investigations and miscel- laneous design studies necessary in the revision of construction plans and specifications for Stewarts Ferry Dam, and survey work incident to mapping the Three Islands reservoir area. The costs, all for new work, were $25,696.08.' The expenditures Were $16,928.51. ' Condition at end of fiscal year.-The status of Wolf Creek, Dale Hollow, and Center Hill reservoirs, selected for construction under this authorization, is given in individual reports. Preliminary work on the remaining projects considered in the comprehensive 'plan within the Nashville District was well advanced. Detailed plans for Rossview and Three Islands reservoirs were complete, except for certain supplementary investigations and 'consequent revisions. Status of Middlesboro local protection is given in individual re- port. Mapping of the reservoir and detailed plans for the Stewarts Ferry project had been completed, and contract plans and specifica- tions for the dam were approximately 90 percent complete. Hori- zontal and vertical control surveys relative to mapping the Three Islands reservoir area were in progress and approximately 50 per- cent complete. The total costs to June 30, 1948, were $345,371.02. 'The total expenditures were $341,455.49. . Proposed operations,--The balance unexpended and accounts receivable on June 30, 1948, plus an.allotment of $40,000, made in July 1948, will be applied to accounts payable and to the continua- 804711-48-Vol. 2-23 1852 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 Tennes- see River, about 464 miles above the mouth and 188 miles below the source of the river. FLOOD CONTROL---NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1853 Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a series of earth levees and concrete flood walls consisting, by section, of the following features: (1) Tennessee River, right bank section, a levee 9,000 feet in length beginning about 200 feet upstream from the north approach of the Walnut Street Bridge, extending downstream to the Market Street Bridge, and then running southwesterly to high ground at Stringers Ridge; (2) Citico Creek section, a levee 17,300 feet in length beginning 3,000 feet northeast of Boyce Station, extending northwest by short sections of levee between high points, deflecting and running in a general southerly direction to high ground north of the Citico Yards of the Southern Railway, and relocation of part of Citico Creek by a new channel 2,500 feet in length; (3) Tennessee River, left bank, central section, a flood wall 2,400 feet in length beginning at the rock bluff just upstream from the Market Street Bridge 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 Chattanooga 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 Chattanoga 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 Sec- tion at the Tennessee-Georgia State line. The proposed works will afford protection with a 5-foot freeboard to the cities of Chatta- nooga and Rossville from floods equivalent to the maximum flood of record, which reached a gage height of 57.9 feet. Necessary sewer and drainage structures, pumping plants, floodgates, ramps, and railroad and street modifications are also included in the project. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. 479, 76th Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost of new work, made in 1948, is $20,000,000 for construction and $3,800,000 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. Local interests have not met with the requirements of local participation. Authority for the Chattanooga project will expire January 21, 1952, if assur- ances of local cooperation are not furnished by that date. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. There were no costs during the year. The expenditures were $200.20. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The board of commissioners for the Chattanooga flood protection district, the regularly constituted body responsible for local cooperation, was formally notified of the 1854 REPORT OF HCHIIEFOF :ENGINEERS, U S. ARMY, 1948 required conditions, and the five-year limitation (specified in the authorizing act) for furnishing legal assurances of compliance was invoked, on January 21, 1947. Pending satisfactory assurances that the requirements of local participation will be complied with, fur- ther work on the project has been held in abeyance. Studies for revision of the detailed project plans arewell advanced, and the preparation of contract plans and specifications is approximately 10 percent complete. Total costs and expenditures to June 30, 1948, all for new work, were $180,997.09. Proposed operations.-Contingent upon local cooperation, the balance unexpended on June 30, 1948, will be applied to the con- tinuation of work for completion of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications, and to the initiation of construction on the project.

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 Beatty- ville in east central Kentucky, the South fork joining the main stream at that place, and flows in a general northwesterly direction 258.6 miles and empties into the Ohio River at Carrollton, Ky., mile 545.8 below Pittsburgh, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for State of Kentucky; scale, 1:500,000.) Existing project.--The project provides for 14 locks and fixed dams to give in connection with the improvement of the Ohio River, slack-water navigation of 6 feet minimum depth from the Ohio River to points on the three forks a short distance above Beatty- ville, 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 at lock 14, At some inter- mediate 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1861 Water to the three forks at Beattyville, was $1,074,402, revised later to $4,865,550 for its completion. The estimate of annual cost of maintenance of the channel in Kentucky River, revised in 1948, (including $221,000 for operating and care, is $271,000.) 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 darns 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. The following statement shows the characteristics of the several locks and dams in this project.

Six inclines and one unloading tipple for receiving coal, two chutes for delivering coal, 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 intermit- tently 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. 1862 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Maintenance (operating and care) : Work during the fiscal year consisted of the operation and maintenance of the 14 locks and dams. The costs were $43,775.35 for maintenance of channels and $137,705.35 for operating and care of locks and dams, a total of $181,480.70. The expenditures were $185,645.44. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1917. The work accomplished under the project has been the rehabilitation of the five old State locks and dams and the con- struction of new locks and dams 6 to 14, inclusive. The year of completion of the various locks and dams is given in the table in the paragraph "Existing 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 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 $6,399,361.43, of which $4,176,749.05 was for new work, $562,362.52 for maintenance, and $1,660,249.86 for operating and care. The expenditures were $6,396.599.77. In addition, the sum of $6,405,371.78 was expended between July 5, 1884, and June 30, 1937, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

GREEN, BARREN, AND NOLIN RIVERS, AND BEAR CREEK, KY. Location.-Green River rises in Casey County, Ky., flows in a northwesterly direction 370 miles, and empties into the Ohio River about 8 miles above Evansville, Ind. Barren River rises in Monroe County, Ky., flows in a north- Westerly direction 130 miles, and empties into Green River one- half mile above lock 4 and 149.5 miles above the mouth of Green River. Bear Creek rises in Grayson County, Ky., flows in a southerly direction 40 miles, and empties into Green River 0.3 mile above new lock 5 and 168.4 miles above the mouth of Green River. Nolin River rises in Larue County, Ky., flows in a southwesterly direction about 105 miles, and empties into the Green River 1.8 miles above lock 6 and 183.5 miles above the mouth of Green River. 1864 REPORT OF CHIEF O ENGNGLNEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Existing project.-This provides for the purchase of improve- ments 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 reconstruc- tion of lock 2, Green River; the upstream extension of slack-water navigation on Green River to Mammoth Cave, Ky., by the con- struction 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 improve- ment of Nolin River by the removal of obstructive bars, boulders, overhanging rocks, and snags; and the improvement of Bear Creek by removing snags and widening bends. The project for Green River extends from 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 7% 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 dredging, provide necessary rights-of-way at the bends, furnish without cost to the United States satisfactory areas for the disposal of excavated material, and assume all flowage damages along Bear Creek. These conditions have not been met. 1866 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, TT. S. ARMY, 1948 The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, provides that local interests provide any land or easements required for the purpose of the improvement of Nolin River. Local interests have been unable to obtain easements required for the removal of overhanging rock ledges at Whistle Mountain. Terminal facilities.-There are two terminals on the Green River for handling petroleum products. On Barren River there are three terminals, two of which are petroleum terminals, 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 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. Maintenance (operating and care) :Work during the fiscal year consisted of the operation and maintenance of the seven locks and dams on the Green and Barren Rivers. The costs were $16,815.74 for maintenance of channels and $107,060.38 for operating and care of locks and dams, a total of $123,876.12. The expenditures were $124,282.63. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The canalization system on the 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 condition. The controlling navigable depth in the sections covered by the existing project was 5.5 feet at the end of the fiscal year. New work remaining to be done consists of the removal of overhanging rock ledges at Whistle Mountain on Nolin River, pro- vided 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.

It rises in Hardin County, flows westerly 136 miles, and empties into Green River at Livermore, 71 miles from the mouth of that river. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts, Kentucky quadrangles: Central City, Hartford, Whitesville.) Existing project.-This provides for clearing the river of ob- structions and for the construction of a lock and dam to carry slack water to Hartford, Ky. The new work provided for having been completed, the project now contemplates the maintenance of the lock and dam and keeping the river channel free from the snags and other 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 fullwidth Lift at pool stage ----------- ------ 123 feet. 9.9 feet.

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 abutment originally proposed.

RIVERS AND HAR3BORS-LOUISVILLE, ICY., DIST RICT 1869 Terminal facilities.-There are a few unimproved private land- ings which are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance (oper- ating and care) : Work during the fiscal year consisted of the per- formance of custodial services at lock 1, Rough River. The total cost during the fiscal year was $5,427.23 for mainte- nance. The expenditures were $5,419.06. 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 deposits in lock chamber.

These streams form a connecting valley across the southern tip of the State of Illinois from the Ohio River at mile 910 on the east to mile 975 on the west. During high floods, backwater from the Ohio River overflows the flood plain of the Bay Creek-Cache River Valley. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of two levees, one known as the Reevesville levee and the other as the Cache River levee. The Reevesville levee begins at high ground about 1 mile north of Reevesville, Ill., and extends eastward to the double-track main line of the Illinois Central Rail- road, thence continues in a general southerly direction for a dis- tance of 2 miles crossing the Galconda branch of the Illinois Cen- tral Railroad, thence east along the Bay Creek Relief Channel at a distance of about 200 to 800 feet from the right bank to State Highway 145, and thence in a southeasterly direction to high ground about 1,000 feet south of the Bay Creek Relief Channel. This levee is 4.9 miles long and has an average height of 11 feet. The Cache River levee begins at high ground on the right bank of the Post Creek cut-off approximately 700 feet upstream from the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad crossing of this stream and parallels the old spoil bank levee for about 2,000 feet along Post Creek at a distance of about 150 feet, thence continues upstream along the landslide of the spoil bank levee on the right bank of Forman Floodway ending at the gravel road along the New York Central Railroad. The total length of the Cache River levee is 3.7 miles with an average height of 10 feet. In addition, the plan in- cludes a short levee about 550 feet long across a low swale a short distance east of Karnak, Ill., and other appurtenant structures. The project will provide protection for the city of Reevesville, Ill., the urban centers of Belknap, Karnak, and Ullin, Ill., seven smaller towns, four railroads, several miles of main highways and 23,500 acres of tillable land, and will afford a freeboard of 3 feet above a flood equal to the maximum flood record which occur- red in 1937. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1948, is $795,000 for construction and $40,000 for lands and damages. The existing project has been selected for construction under the general authorization for th Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. Local cooperation.-See page 7 for requirements. The Board of Drainage Commissioners, appointed by the County Court of Massac County, Ill., and representing the Cache River Drainage District has indicated its willingness to fulfill the requirements of local cooperation, by resolutions adopted February 28, 1945.

Also included in the plan are the acquisition of necessary land not controlled by local interests, clearing of the permanent pool area, relocation of sanitary sewer outside the reservoir area and alteration of affected roads and utilities where required for access to property and developments in the vicinity of the reservoir. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1948, is $6,160,000 for construction, of which $600,000 are to be contributed by local interests. The latest published map is contained in House Docu- ment 198, Eightieth Congress, first session. 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. Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to release necessary land under their control at no cost to the United States and give assurances that they will prevent future channel encroach- ment below the dam site in connection with the flood control reser- voir. In case the reservoir is enlarged to include a conservation pool, local interests must contribute one-half the additional cost of such pool, including one-half of the cost of relocation of sanitary sewer, and agree to hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from its provision. The Board of County Com- missioners of Hamilton County, Ohio, adopted a resoulution on October 8, 1947, signifying willingness to fulfill local cooperation requirements including the provision of the conservation pool. Assurances of local cooperation were executed on the same date. A contract with the United States for the relocation of the sanitary sewer outside the reservoir area in order to include the conserva- tion pool in the project has been accepted by Hamilton County in which the United States pays one-half the cost of such relocation work. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of work on preliminary surveys, foundation explorations, and pre- paration of detailed plans. Work on preparation of construction plans and specifications for relocation of sewer outside reservoir area was started by contract. The costs during the fiscal year were $55,885.96 for new work.

OHIO RIVER OPEN CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement, see page 1807. 3. MUSKINGUM RIVER, OHIIO Location.--The Muskingum River, 112.45 miles in length, and lying entirely in the State of Ohio, is formed by the junction of the Walhonding and Tuscarawas Rivers at Coshocton, Ohio, flows in a southerly direction and empties into the Ohio River at Mari- etta, 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 pro- vide 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 is now possible to maintain without ex- tensive 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 construction 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 estimated annual maintenance costs, re- vised in 1947, are $25,000 for channel maintenance and $114,000 for operation and care of locks and dams. 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.

RIVERS AND HARBORS---HUNTINGTON, WEST VA., DISTRICT 1957 Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are numerous public 'and private landings, generally unimproved, at points accessible to the public highways, and in a few instances having railroad connections. A dock for loading coal from 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 land- ings, not equipped, are used to stock pile sand and gravel for State and county roads. Two private terminals for handling petroleum products exist on the river. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operatingand care of locks and dams: The locks and dams were operated as required and essential repairs were made thereto and to the appurtenant Structures to maintain them in a serviceable condition. Dredging, totaling 44,673 cubic yards, was performed in the approaches and lock chambers of locks 1 to 10, inclusive, in order to permit the Passage of commercial tows. Lock gates at locks 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 10, and the guard gate in canal at lock 10, were repaired. The abutments at dams 3 and 7 were repaired. Reconstruction of dam 7, initiated by contract during the preceding year, was completed. Bids were opened in June 1948 for reconstructing a bridge over the canal at lock 7; however, a contract for the work was not awarded. The cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $369,968.45, all for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $346,718.42. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1910. The locks and dams are in fair condition and all structures are in operation. Resident care at locks 2, 5, 6 and 11 has been discontinued on an annual basis while locks 8 and 9 are unattended for an approximate period of 4 months each year, during the winter season, when traffic is extremely light. The facilities at all unattended structures are available to navigation interests, subject to twenty-four hours advance notice. The avail- able depth for navigation is 4.5 feet from the mouth to lock 11, and from lock 11 to the end of the project the depth actually main- tained 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 $1,719,633.84, of which $301,911.53 was for new work, $137,140.08 for maintenance, and $1,280,582.23 for operation and care of locks and dams. The ex- Penditures were $1,699,793.88. In addition, the sum of $3,995,- 355.89 was expended between April 7, 1887, and June 30, 1936, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such Purposes. 1958 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

LITTLE KANAWHA RIVER, W. VA. Location.-This river, 160 miles in length, rises on the western slope of Laurel Hill, W. Va., flows in a general northwesterly di- rection, and empties into the Ohio River at Parkersburg, W. Va. Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act ap- proved August 14, 1876. For further details, see page 1912 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1307 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for five locks with fixed dams, to give a navigable depth of 4 feet from the mouth of the river to Creston, a distance of 48 miles. Under this project one lock and dam (5) was constructed and four locks and dams (1 to 4) Were purchased from the Little Kanawha Navigation Co. The cost of purchase and repair of locks and dams 1 to 4 was $282,059.50, and the cost of constructing lock and dam 5 was $167,875. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care of the locks and dams, made in 1947, is $81,000.

The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operating and care of locks and dams: Lock and dam 1, only, was operated to meet the needs of existing commerce. The cost of operating and care during the fiscal year was $11,558.78. The expenditures were $10,814.45. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1891. Lock and dam 1 is in fair condition and naviga- tion on the river is possible only through the pool above this structure. Resident care has been discontinued at locks and dams 2-5, inclusive. The dams at these locations are in such poor condi- tion that project depth cannot be maintained during the low water season and also deposits of sand and silt in the lock chambers and approaches prohibit the operation of lock gates for the movement of traffic. 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 $475,586.05, of which $257,022.72 was for new work, $22,977.28 for maintenance, and $195,586.05 for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $474,899.56. In addition, the sum of $649,686.09 was expended between December 1891 and September 30, 1935, on the operating and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

Numerous coal tipples, owned by private interests, exist, available for use only to the owners for loading into barges the coal mined by them. Other privately owned facilities are as follows: Nine gasoline and oil unloading stations at Boomer, Cabin Creek, Charleston, South Charleston, and St. Al- bans; a terminal at Institute for unloading alcohol and styrene; a dock at South Charleston for unloading sulphur; a dock at Nitro for unloading acid; five terminals at Belle, North Charleston, and Blaine Island for handling chemicals; two coal unloading termi- nals at Belle and one at Cabin Creek; and a terminal at Alloy, generally used for unloading coke. The terminal facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Work in connection with the acquisition of flowage easements occasioned by the increased pool heights was continued. The work of clearing brush and dead trees from Chickamauga Creek at Gallipolis, Ohio, was accomplished by hired labor. The cost of new work during the fiscal year was $89,737.71. Maintenance: Necessary hydrographic surveys and inspections of navigation aids were conducted throughout the fiscal year. Dredging of the channel at Dego Bend was accomplished by con- tract, 27,755 cubic yards of material being removed. The cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $26,055.73. Operating and care: The locks and dams were operated as re- quired and urgent repairs were made thereto and to the appurte- nant structures. Stoney gate valves at Winfield Locks were cleaned and painted. Lock chambers and approaches at Winfield, Marmet, and London Locks were dredged, a total of 4,879 cubic yards of material being removed. The cost for operating and care during the fiscal year was $199,221.10. The total cost for the fiscal year, all from regular funds, was $315,014.54, of which $89,737.71 was for new work, and $225,- 276.83 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $319,055.12. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 98 percent complete. The work remaining to be done consists of completing the procurment of flowage easements and improve- ments at Gallipolis Locks. All structures are in operation, and the available depth for navigation is 9 feet from the mouth of the river to the head of the improvement. Above the improved portion of the river, the minimum depth in the channel is less than 1 foot.

BIG SANDY RIVER, W. VA. AND KY., INCLUDING LEVISA AND TUG FORKS Location.-Big Sandy River, 26.8 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, 164 miles in length, rises in southwestern Virginia and flows in a general northerly direction; and Tug Fork, 154 miles in length, rises in southwestern West Virginia and flows in a general northwesterly direction. Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of July 18, 1878, June 14, 1880, and July 13, 1892. For further details see Annual Report for 1915, page 1929, and Annual Report for 1938, page 1318. Existing project.-This provides for three locks and dams on the main river, two locks and dams each on Levisa Fork and Tug Fork, and regulating works below lock 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 exist- ing improvement 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., 26.8 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, nlade in 1947, is $70,000 annually.

Recommended modification of project.-Recommendation for improvement of the project by canalization to obtain a 9-foot proj- ect 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, is contained in House Document 264, Eightieth Congress, first session. Terminal facilities.-Terminalfacilities consist of one privately owned terminal at Leach, Ky., for handling petroleum products. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing com- merce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operatingand care of locks and dams: Lock and dam 1, only, was operated to meet the needs of existing commerce. The cost of operating and care during the fiscal year was $9,673.06. The expenditures were $9,441.49. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1910. Lock and dam 1 on the main river is in fair condition and the only structure, included in the project, being operated. Resident care has been discontinued at the remaining project locks and dams. The unattended structures are in such poor condition that their operation for maintaining project depth and for movements of traffic would not be possible without exten- sive repairs. 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 $1,598,464.97, of which $1,205,804.92 was for new work, $64,857.66 for maintenance, and $327,802.39 for operation and care of the locks and dams.

MUSKINGUM RIVER RESERVOIRS, OHIO Location.-The Muskingum River lies in southeastern Ohio and, With its tributaries, drains approximately 8,000 square miles. Its headwaters rise about 25 miles south of Lake Erie and it flows into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pitts- burgh, Pa. Existing project.-This project provides for the construction, Operation, and maintenance of 14 reservoirs and appurtenant !Zed Works in the Muskingum River Basin. It was originally author- by the Public Works Administration 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 provided, among other things, for the elimination of one reservoir and the inclusion and later elim- ination 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 Ad- ministration to aid in financing construction of this project. The ?Project was operated and maintained by the conservancy district frorm July 1938 to August 1939 when it was taken over by the Corps of Engineers for maintenance and operation in accordance with 1974 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 dis- trict 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 include any expenditures for lands, easements, and rights-of-way heretofore 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 dis- trict 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 Muskingum 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, re- vised in 1948, excluding the cost to the Muskingum watershed conservancy district, is $41,438,300, of which $19,227,600 is for construction and $22,210,700 for lands and damages. The esti- mated annual operation and maintenance cost, revised in 1947, is $175,000. For further details see Annual Report for 1946, page 1734.

The reconstruction and relocation of water works for the village of Mineral City, Ohio, located within the Bolivar Reservoir area were accomplished by contract. Work under contracts for improv- ing the channels of Little Stillwater Creek below Tappan Dam and Stillwater Creek below Piedmont Dam was initiated in July 1947 and continued throughout the year. 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 continued. The cost during the fiscal year was $901,279.65. Maintenance: The 14 flood control reservoirs were operated as required and 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 opera- tion of the complete system, were continued. A contract was awarded on June 15, 1948, for installing pressure relief wells for the levee protective works at Zoar, Ohio, in the Dover Reservoir area. The cost during the fiscal year was $153,964.12. The total cost, all from regular funds, was $1,055,243.77, of which $901,279.65 was for new work and $153,964.12 was for maintenance.

MASSILLON, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location.-Massillon, Ohio, is located in Stark. County, on the Tuscarawas River, 200 miles above the mouth of the Muskingum River. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides generally for improvement of the channel of the Tuscarawas River, con- structing complementary levees, pump stations and appurtenances, and remedial work. The project has been subdivided into six con- struction units, namely, (1) constructing two pressure conduits, (2) section 1, widening and deepening the present channel for a distance of 8,500 feet, constructing 1,900 feet of new channel and 3,600 feet of levees, relocating 3.5 miles of railroad lines with facilities, including constructing four railroad bridges, the sub- structure of the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge across the Tuscara- Was River, one freight terminal building and an engine terminal, constructing one highway bridge, and the removal of railroad and highway bridges, buildings and facilities, (3) constructing the Superstructure of the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge across the Tuscarawas River, (4) section 2, unit 1, widening and deepening the present channel and bank protection work for a distance of 1,700 feet, relocating 1.8 miles of railroad lines, replacing one highway bridge with a viaduct, removal of three railroad bridges, one highway bridge and 10,550 feet of: abandoned track and the reconstruction of affected water service, sewer and public utility lines, (5) section 2, unit 2, widening and deepening the present channel for a distance of 2,600 feet, constructing 2,400 feet of new channel, 12,300 feet of levee and 200 feet of concrete wall, relocat- ing 3,600 feet of railroad lines,, construction of. a control weir, replacing one highway bridge with a viaduct, raising one high- Way bridge and the reconstruction of affected water service, sewer and public utility lines, and (6) constructing four pump stations. In addition, the United States has entered into agreements with affected property owners for the performance of certain remedial Work connected with the project. The project will provide protection (with 3-foot freeboard) against a flood with peak discharge 20 percent greater than maxi- ilum of record. The existing project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin, con- tained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The esti- mlated cost of new work, revised in 1948, is $7,814,000. 8 4 0 711-----48- vol. 2 - 31 1980 REPORT OF CIIIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 In addition to the amount to be expended by the United States, the Massillon conservancy district will contribute $497,850 for additional construction and alterations beyond the scope of the authorized Federal project. A total of $495,600 of the contribu- tion 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 other- wise 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 remaining $2,250 of con- tributed funds pertains to construction of the two viaducts and will be forthcoming at the time the related work is undertaken. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work under contract for construction of the superstructure of the Pennsylvania Rail- road bridge over the Tuscarawas River, initiated in March 1946, was completed. Work under contract for constructing unit 1, sec- tion 2, of the project, initiated June 30, 1947, was continued throughout the fiscal year. Work under agreements with various railroad and utility companies for relocating their facilities was continued. Preparation of plans and specifications for construct- ing unit 2, section 2, of the project was initiated. Work in connec- tion with the acquisition of land was continued. The cost of new work during the fiscal year was $931,934.77. The expenditures were $651,127.50. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionof the project was initiated in July 1940, when construction of two pressure conduits was commenced by contract. Of the six construction units de- scribed in the paragraph "Existing project," units 1, 2, and 3 are complete.

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 fHocking River, Ohio, about 3 miles north of the village of Glouster and 57.3 miles above the mouth of Hocking River. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a rolled earth fill dam having a maximum height of 84 feet and a total length of 944 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 reser- voir will afford substantial protection to the Sunday Creek Valley and serve as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system for the pro- tection of the Hocking River and Ohio River Valleys. The reser- voir will also provide an assured water supply to villages, indus- tries, and coal-mine operations in the Sunday Creek Valley. The existing project was authorized under the Flood Control Act ap- proved December 22, 1944. The estimated cost of new work, re- vised in 1948, is $3,005,000 of which $785,000 is to be contributed by local interests. Local cooperation.-Local or State interests are required to furnish funds for the project equal to the difference between the total estimated first cost and the capitalized flood-control benefits. House Bill 496 passed by the Ohio State Legislature appropriated funds to cover local and State-obligations relative to the project By agreement entered into January 22, 1948, between the Depart- ment of the Army, Corps of Engineers, and the Division of Con- servation and Natural Resources, Department of Agriculture, State of Ohio, the State will contribute $495,000 to be applied to the cost of the project, while the remaining $290,000 of the total amount to be contributed will be retained for expenditure upon the land acquisition program to be instituted by the State. The agreement provides further that subject to appropriations made by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio the State will con- tribute to the Government annually the sum of $1,500 as the pro- rata share chargeable to the State covering the annual cost of operating the project in so far as water supply features are con- cerned. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Preparationof the detailed plans was completed. A contract was awarded and work initiated on construction of reservoir outlet works. A supply con- tract was awarded in June 1948 for furnishing slide gates, con- duit linings, and air vent piping for intake structure. Preparation of plans and specifications for constructing an earth dlam, together with intake structure and spillway, was initiated. Acquisition of five tracts of land in the dam site and construction area was initiated. The cost of new work during the fiscal year was $254,- 771.61. The expenditures were $190,676.34.

BIG WALNUT CREEK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location.-The dam site of the Big Walnut Creek Reservoir is located on Big Walnut Creek, a tributary of Scioto River, Ohio, about 0.2 mile upstream from the village of Central College and about 154 miles above the mouth of the Scioto River. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a rolled earth-fill dam with a concrete gravity spill- way section controlled by tainter gates, having a maximum height of about 91 feet and a total crest length of approximately 2,470 feet. The reservoir created, providing for the storage of 58,000 acre-feet for flood control and 23,500 acre-feet for conservation and water supply for a total of 81,500 acre-feet, will control 190 square miles of the drainage area of Big Walnut Creek, and neces- sitates the relocation of 4.1 miles of power lines, 10.7 miles of telephone lines, 1.2 miles of gas pipe lines, 1 railroad pump house, and 1 cemetery of 50 graves. In addition, it will be necessary to raise or reconstruct 0.83 mile of highways while 3.27 miles of high- ways will be relocated or replaced. The reservoir will afford sub- stantial protection to the Big Walnut Creek Valley and serve as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system for the protection of the Scioto River and Ohio River Valleys. The reservoir will also pro- vide an assured additional water supply of 26,000,000 gallons per day for the city of Columbus. 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 Federal cost of new work, made in 1948, is $3,810,000. In addition to the amount to be expended by the United States, local interests will contribute $5,190,000 making the total first cost of the project $9,000,000. Local cooperation.-The city of Columbus, Ohio, or other local interests are required to furnish funds for the project equal to the difference between the total estimated first cost and the capitalized flood control benefits. Upon the request of the city of Columbus, the Board of Directors of the Scioto-Sandusky conservancy district has directed the Chief Engineer of the District to include in the official plan of the District a multiple-purpose reservoir on Big Walnut Creek for water supply, flood control and other purposes whereby the Scioto-Sandusky conservancy district will participate with the Federal Government in such project to the extent of ap- proximately $4,878,000 subject to such modifications as may be determined upon a detailed evaluation of the general benefits and a detailed estimate of the cost of the project. In accordance with the Conservancy Act of Ohio, under which the Scioto-Sandusky conservancy district is organized, the District may enter into con- tracts with the Federal Government for providing flood control works, may purchase, lease or acquire lands, may borrow money, issue bonds and levy assessments against properties located within the District. It is anticipated, therefore, that the Scioto-Sandusky conservancy district will meet the requirements of local coopera- tion at an early date in order that construction of the project will not be delayed.

ROCKY FORK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location.-In Highland County on Rocky Fork of Paint Creek, about 8 miles above the mouth of Rocky Fork and 43 miles above the confluence of Paint Creek with the Scioto River. Existing project.-The project provides for the construction of a concrete gravity dam with a maximum height of 91 feet and a length of 440 feet. The reservoir will reduce flood damages on Paint Creek and reduce flood flows along the Scioto, Ohio, and Mississippi Rivers. It will also provide conservation and public use facilities. The reservoir will extend 9.6 miles upstream and will impound a total of 97,500 acre-feet, of which 61,000 acre-feet will be utilized for flood control purposes. The total estimated cost of the project revised in 1948 is $4,335,- 000, of which $2,980,000 will be borne by the Federal Government and $1,355,000 will be borne by the State of Ohio. The project has been selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. Local cooperation.--Section2 of the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938 applies. Prior to initiation of studies connected with this project, the State of Ohio had initiated acquisition of land for a conservation and public use reservoir near the proposed site of this project. That project at the request of the State has been absorbed in the proposed plan for the Rocky Fork Reservoir including the land previously acquired by the State. Under the present plan the total cost to the State will be $1,355,000, of which $859,000 will be applied to construction costs and $496,000 to lands. Pre- liminary agreement has been reached with the state that this par- ticipation in the project will be furnished.

Location.-This river is formed by the junction of the Tygart and West Fork Rivers about 1 mile south of Fairmont, W. Va., and flows in a northerly direction 128 miles to its junction with the Allegheny River, forming the Ohio River at Pittsburgh, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for southwestern Pennsyl- vania and northern West Virginia.) Previous projects.-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 construc- tion 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 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1248, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the improvement of the river by 13 locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation for its entire length from Pittsburgh, Pa., to above Fairmont, W. Va. Original locks and dams 7, 8, and 9 were replaced by new locks and dams 7 and 8 in 1925. Increased traffic necessitated an en- largement and improvement of locks and dams 1 to 6 between Pittsburgh and Rices Landing, Pa., by the building of two paral- lel chambers and fixed concrete dams. Original locks and dams 10 to 15, inclusive, are inadequate for the present traffic and should be replaced as soon as practicable. Locks and dam 1 were eliminated in 1938 by the raising of the Emsworth 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 1948 (exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects) is $30,800,000. This amount includes $200,000 to be contributed. The estimate of an- nual cost for channel maintenance, made in 1948, is $125,000. The estimate of annual cost for operation and care of locks and dams, revised in 1947, is $930,000.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 2039 Terminal facilities.-The city of Pittsburgh has constructed a modern wharf for river freight. Boat landings are maintained by some municipalities along the river. SA large number of tipples at mines and various types of hoists at manufacturing plants and sand and gravel supply companies are maintained for private use in loading and unloading coal, coke, billets, steel products, sand, gravel, and other commodities. These terminals and docks are not available for the purpose of general commerce. A number of docks and pipe lines are also privately maintained for petroleum and acid products. Marine ways are maintained by SOme of the larger industries. There are also several terminals for rail-to-river and river-to-rail transfer. Existing private terminals are adequate for shipments and re- ceipt in the Pittsburgh district of the type of commerce now in existence. The provision of river-to-rail and rail-to-river transfer terminals on an extensive scale is not important, since 98 percent of traffic using the river passes through the private terminals, Which are more than adequate for the prospective commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: A re- Study of the locks 2 to consider a 110-foot width main lock cham- ber was completed and approved, recommending a main lock of 110 by 720 feet dimensions. The drilling of a 36-inch inspection hole was completed by contract. Plans and specifications for the fabrication of the lock gates, valves and emergency dam were com- Pleted. The plans and specifications for the construction of the riverward lock are practically completed. A contract was awarded. for furnishing and delivering steel sheet piling, fabricated connec- tions and steel bearing piles. In connection with the construction of Morgantown lock and dam, a definite project report and plans and specifications were. completed. An advance notice to prospec- tive bidders on Morgantown lock and dam was issued on June 28, 1948 Maintenance: A general survey consisting of field work and the Preparation of topographic drawings was continued during the Year. Surveys for dredging were made at various locations from the mouth of the river to the upper part of pool 4 and plans pre- pared for future dredging. A total of 65,737 cubic yards was dredged from the channel at various bars by hired labor. In addi- tion, hired labor forces and Government plant accomplished dredging in lock chambers and approaches of locks 2, 3, and 5, removing a total of 4,150 cubic yards. 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, the lower land chamber lock gates were removed and replaced; at locks 4, the lower land chamber lock gates were repaired; at locks 5, repairs were made to a river Chamber filling valve, the river wall turbine, land chamber valves and sills, and the upper and lower land chamber lock gates re- Placed; at locks 6, repairs were made to valves, sills and quoin Seals in the land chamber and to the valves in the river chamber; 2040 REPORT OF CHIEF? OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 at lock 7, repairs were made to valves, sills, quoin seals, and upper gates, and the lower gates replaced; at lock 10, repairs were made to the upper gates; and at lock 12, the upper gates were replaced. The total costs were $1,238,941.51, of which $232,970.83 was for new work, $108,367.91 for channel maintenance and $897," 602.77 for the operation and care of locks and dams. The total expenditures were $1,241,692.72. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The locks and dams are corn- plete and in operation. The remaining work on the project con- sists of the reconstruction of locks 2 and the construction of Morgantown lock and dam to replace existing locks 10 and 11. The navigation channel has been 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 Iorthwestward into New York, thence generally southwestward to Pittsburgh, Pa., where it joins with the Monongahela River to form the Ohio. Its length is 325 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for western Pennsylvania and southwestern New York.) Existing project.-This provides for eight locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation from Pittsburgh, Pa., to above East Brady, Pa., a distance of 72 miles. Original locks and dams 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 Damn, Ohio River. The controlling depth throughout the canalized lortion is 9 feet at normal pool level, and the channel width varies trom 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 1948, is $30,000. The estimate of annual cost for operation and care of locks and dams, revised in 1947, is $310,000. 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.

Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts ap- Proved June 25, 1910, and January 21, 1927. For further details see Page 1274, Annual Report for 1929, and page 1261, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the canalization of the river 2048 REPORT OF1 CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARVMY, 1948 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 mairitenance, made in 1948, is $25,000. 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 darns in lieu of three 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 au- thorized to revise the plans and estimates to meet any changes in conditions. Terminal facilities.-Privately maintained terminals for un- loading coal, sand, gravel, manufactured products, etc., ample for present requirements, exist at McKeesport, Pa. Operations and results during fiscal year.-United States der- rick boat Monallo completed maintenance dredging of the channel between the mouth and Fifteenth Street, McKeesport, Pa. A total of 18,680 cubic yards was dredged during the fiscal year. The total costs were $17,557.69, all for maintenance. The ex- penditures were $19,187.97. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No canalization has been done on the existing project. The effect of pool 2, Monongahela River, permits movement from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKees- port, Pa., by commercial tows. The total cost since the adoption of the existing project was $97,712.10, all for maintenance. The total expenditures under the existing project were $97,483.51. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $7,455.74, plus an allotment of $19,600 made in July 1948, a total of $27,055.74 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 $25,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1950, to be applied to maintenance dredging of the 9-foot channel from the mouth to Fifteenth Street, McKees- port, Pa.

TYGART RIVER DAM, W. VA. Location.-The dam site is located on the Tygart River in Tay- lor County, W. Va., about 22.7 miles above the mouth of the river at Fairmont, W. Va. It is 2.25 miles upstream from Grafton, W• Va., and about 78 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located in Taylor and Barbour Counties, W. Va. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Fairmont, Thornton, and Belington, WVa.) Existing project.-The construction of a concrete gravity dam Was authorized by the Public Works Administration January 11, ]934, 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 Iiver. 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 datn, revised in 1948, is $46,000, 2050 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Work was continued on reservoir development plans in the reservoir area in cooperation with the State of West Virginia. Maintenance (operating and care) : The reservoir was operated effectively, as required, and necessary repairs made to the dam and related structures. The resurfacing of the access roads and park- ing area was completed by contract. Hired labor forces completed the emergency bank stabilization work on the right bank of the Tygart River below the stilling weir of the dam. General rains from the 11th to 15th of April caused a flood which crested at 29.83 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and: 44.2 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. The reductions made by this reservoir in conm- bination with the seven other operating reservoirs in the Pitts- burgh District were 3.3 feet at Pittsburgh and 4.7 feet at Wheeling. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir pool to rise to elevation 1132.2 or 122.2 feet above minimum pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impound- ment of 177,800 acre-feet above the permanent storage level, or about 64 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. Light rains and melting snow on the 13th and 14th of February caused a flood which crested at 17.4 feet at lock 15 and 28.6 feet at lock 5, Monongahela River. The reductions made by this reservoir at these locks were 4.2 and 3.3 feet, respectively. This would have been the greatest flood since July 1888 on the Monongahela River above lock 4 had the Tygart Reservoir not been in operation. The reduction made by this reservoir in combination with the other reservoirs was 3.7 feet on the Ohio River at Pittsburgh, the actual crest stage being 24.55 feet. The water surface in the reservoir reached a level 108.3 feet above the minimum pool. Routine opera- tions primarily in the interest of navigation were made through- out the remainder of the year in accordance with the low-water and storage schedule, except on the occasion of several minor rises when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. The total costs were $44,980.68, of which $181.07 was for new work, and $44,799.61 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $36,473.61. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is fully complete, except for completion of a master plan for reservoir 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.

Location.-The dam site is located on Tionesta Creek, 1.25 miles above the junction of the creek creek with te Allegheny River at with the Tionesta, Pa., and about 78 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located entirely in Forest County, Pa. (See U. S. (eological Survey charts for Tionesta, Tidioute, and Sheffield, Pa.) Existing project.-This pr'ovides 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 Provides for the gross storage of 133,400 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 483 square miles. Of this storage 125,600 acre-feet are available for flood prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The remaining 7,800 acre-feet are in permanent storage. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a coordinated: reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 2, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1945, is $5 ,300,000. The estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the dam, made in 1948 is $40,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of Flood Control Act approved JUne 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work :-Some preliminary work was performed, consisting of miscellaneous en- gineering work. The construction of a storage building, and paving of access roads and parking area were completed under contract. A contract was awarded for the equipment to be used in the water Supply system for the damtenders' dwellings and the proposed Public sanitary building. Negotiations relative to final conclusion of land acquisition and legal work pertaining thereto were con- tinued. Payment was made to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on May 14, 1948 for lands, totaling 582.75 acres, comprising the dam site area and owned by the Commonwealth, and transfer of title to the Federal Government consummated. 2056 REPORT OP CHIEF OFF ENGINEERS, O1 U. S. ARMY, 1948 Maintenance (operating and care) : The reservoir was operated for the benefit of flood control, as required, and necessary repairs were made to the dam and to the operators' quarters and grounds throughout the year. Work was in progress during the year on reservoir development features consisting of the maintenance of public use areas and posting of reservoir markers and directional signs. General rains from the 11th to 15th of April caused a flood which crested at 29.83 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and 44.2 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. The reductions made by this reservoir in com- bination with the seven other operating reservoirs in the Pitts- burgh District were 3.3 feet at Pittsburgh and 4.7 feet at Wheeling. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir pool to rise to elevation 1,130.6 or 45.6 feet above the minimum pool. This level represents an impoundment of 43,200 acre-feet above the permanent storage level or about 34 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. Heavy rains on the 21st of March caused a flood which crested at 20.4 feet on the Allegheny River at Frank- lin, Pa. This would have been the greatest flood since March 1913 in the Franklin area if this reservoir had not reduced the crest bY 0.9 feet. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir pool to rise to elevation of 1,144.7 or 59.7 feet above the minimum pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impoundment of 66,800 acre-feet above the permanent storage level or about 53 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. 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 total costs were $99,271.99, of which $80,730.58 was for new work and $18,541.41 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $95,332.86.

CROOKED CREEK RESERVOIR, PA. Location.-The dam site is located on Crooked Creek, 6.7 miles above the junction of the creek with the Allegheny River near Ford City, Pa., and about 32 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, pa. The reservoir is located entirely in Armstrong County, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Freeport and Elders Ridge, 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 1,480 feet long at the top, rises 143 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross storage of 93,900 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 278 square miles. Of this storage 89,400 acre-feet are available for flood prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The remaining 4,500 acre-feet FLOOD CONTROI----PITTSBURGtII, PA., DISTRICT 2059 are in permanent storage. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a Coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally. The existing project was author- orized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The esti- mrated cost of new work, revised in 1943, is $4,300,000. The esti- mate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the dam, made in 1948 is $43,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Some Preliminary work was performed, consisting of miscellaneous en- gineering work. A contract was awarded for the equipment to be used in the domestic water supply system. The construction of the storage building was commenced under contract. Negotiations relative to final conclusion of land acquisition and legal work per- taining thereto were continued. Payment was made to the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania on May 14, 1948 for lands, totaling 557.45 acres, comprising the dam site area and owned by the Commonwealth, and transfer of the title to the Federal Govern- ment consummated. Settlement was also made with the Common- Wealth for certain utility relocations performed by it under the 1936 Flood Control Act. Maintenance (operating and care) : The reservoir was operated for the benefit of flood control, as required, and necessary repairs Were made to the dam to the operators' quarters and grounds throughout the year. Work was in progress during the year on reservoir development features, consisting of the maintenance of Dublic use areas and the posting of reservoir markers and direc- tional signs. General rains from the 11th to 15th of April caused a flood Which crested at 29.83 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and 44.2 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. The reductions made by this reservoir in com- bination with the seven other operating reservoirs in the Pitts- burgh District were 3.3 feet at Pittsburgh and 4.7 feet at Wheeling. he water stored during this flood caused the reservoir pool to rise to elevation 899.0 or 59.0 feet above the minimum pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impound- mnent of 53,400 acre-feet above the permanent storage level or about 60 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. 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 total costs were $26,428.16, of which $4,183.41 was for new Work and $22,244.75 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $21,860.34. 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. Construction of the dam Was started in March 1938 and completed in October 1940.

It is situated in a deep and comparatively narrow valley at the junction of Stony Creek and Little Conemaugh River, which unite to form the Conemaugh River. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for Johnstown, Pa.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for in- Creasing the channel capacity by enlarging and realining the exist- 2062 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 ing channels 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 structures. The improvement involves about 46,290 feet of channel as follows:- The Conemaugh River for a distance of 19,270 feet extending from the "Point" downstream to about 2,650 feet below the Pennsylvania 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 Penn- sylvania 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 maxi- mum natural flow of record, with a minimum of overbank flow and to practically eliminate damages therefrom. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Acts, approved June 22, 1936, and August 28, 1937. The estimated cost of new work, revised in June 1947, is $8,' 890,000. The estimate of annual cost for channel maintenance, made in 1947, is $8,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Some preliminary work was performed consisting of miscellaneous en- gineering work. Remedial measures to prevent scour in the Little Conemaugh River, unit 4, were studied by consultants. Awards were made on two tracts of land totaling 0.355 acre and final dis- bursements made.

MAHONING CREEK RESERVOIR, PA. Location.-The dam site is located on Mahoning Creek in Arm- strong County, Pa., 21.6 miles above the junction of the creek with the Allegheny River. It is about 6/2 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 Val- ley 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 join- ing 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 avail- able for flood prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The remaining 4,500 acre-feet are in permia- nent storage. Two penstocks are contained in the structure for possible future generation of hydroelectric power. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1938, is $6,500,000. The estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the dam, made in 1948 is $38,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Some preliminary work was performed consisting of miscellaneous en- gineering work. The construction of the storage building was commenced under contract. In connection with the acquisition of land, the last award remaining was made on two tracts in con- demnation; partial disbursements were made on four tracts in con- FLOOD CONTROL---PITTSBURGHI, PA., DISTRICT 2065 demnation and final payments were made in-condemnation cases on three tracts. Final settlement was made with the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania for relocation of State highways. SMaintenance (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. Work was in progress during the year on reservoir development features, consisting of maintenance of Public use areas and posting of reservoir markers. General rains from the 11th to 15th of April caused a flood which crested at 29.83 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and 44.2 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. The reductions made by this reservoir in combination Vith the seven other operating reservoirs in the Pittsburgh Dis- trict were 3.3 feet at Pittsburgh and 4.7 feet at Wheeling. The Water stored during this flood caused the reservoir pool to rise to elevation 1,153.3 or 78.3 feet above the minimum pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impoundment of 1,300 acre-feet above the permanent storage level or about 74 Percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. Routine operations 'Yere made during the remainder of the year, except Sio1 of several minor rises, when some water was on the occa- stored and released as river conditions permitted.

LOYALHANNA RESERVOIR, PA. Location.-The dam site is located on Loyalhanna Creek, 4.5 nmiles above the junction of the creek with the Conemaugh River at Saltsburg, Pa., and about 29 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located entirely in Westmoreland County, Pa. (See i S. Geological Survey chart for Latrobe, Pa.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a flood control reservoir dam of the concrete gravity type with a gate controlled center spillway flanked by abutment sections joining the valley sides, and an earth embankment section terminating in the left abutment. The dam is 960 feet long at the top, rises 113 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross controlled Storage Of of 95,300 291 square acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area miles. Of this storage 93,300 acre-feet are available for flood prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The remaining 2,000 acre-feet are in permanent storage. One penstock is contained in the structure for possible future generation of hydroelectric power. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Plttsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally. The existing r oject was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated cost of new work, revised in June 1947, 2068 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 is $5,470,000. The estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the dam, made in 1948 is $41,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Somre- preliminary work was performed consisting of miscellaneous en- gineering work. The paving of the access road and parking area was completed under contract. The construction of the storage building was commenced under contract. Partial payments were continued for highway relocation work being performed by the owning agency under agreement. In connection with the acquiSli tion of land, the remaining two awards were made on two tracts in condemnation, additional partial disbursement made on one tract in condemnation and final payments made on three tracts. Maintenance (operating and care) : The reservoir was operated for the benefit of flood control, as required, and necessary repairs were made to the dam and to the operators' quarters and grounds throughout the year. Work was in progress during the year on reservoir development features, consisting of the maintenance o public use areas. General rains from the 11th to 15th of April caused a flood which crested at 29.83 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and 44.2 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. The reductions made by this reservoir in con'" bination with the seven other operating reservoirs in the pitts- burgh District were 3.3 feet at Pittsburgh and 4.7 feet at Wheel- ing. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir poOl to rise to elevation 956.8 or 46.8 feet above the minimum pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impoundment of 45,800 acre-feet above the permanent storage level or about 49 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. 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 total costs were $364,728.26 of which $339,046.76 was for new work and $25,681.50 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $352,102.83. 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. Construction of the dam was started in October 1939 and completed in June 1942. All work necessary to the acquisition of land in the reservoir area is approxi- mately 99.8 percent complete. The total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 3,415.12 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 79.84 acres. Work remaining to be done consists of preliminary work; completing a settlement in connection with railroad relocation work performed by the owning company under agreement with the United States; relocation of certain highwaYs and utilities in the reservoir area; concluding work in connection with acquisition of land; construction of public sanitary building and a storage building; completion of landscaping, and certai miscellaneous appurtenances to the dam, FLOOD CONTRO---PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 2069 The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were as follows: Regular funds: New work_-- $5,173,362.75 Maintenance_ 174,856.55 Total ------------------------------------------ 5,348,219.30 rnergency Relief funds: New work.. . ------------ 7,338.79 Total costs, all funds_------------------------------ 5,355,558.09 The total expenditures were $5,334,859.78, of which $5,327,- 520.99 was from regular funds and $7,338.79 was from Emergency elief funds.

Existing ,project.-Thisprovides for the construction of a reser- voir dam of the rolled-fill type with separate uncontrolled side channel spillway and tunpel outlet works. The dam is 1,610 feet long at the top, rises 184 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the grass storage of 254,000 acre-feet of water from a tribu- tary drainage area of 435 square miles. Of this storage 5,200 acre-feet are in permanent storage and the remaining 248,800 acre- FLOOD CONTROI---PITTSBURGIIH PA., DISTRICT 2071 feet are available for flood .control, navigation aid, and pollution- abatement purposes. The reservoir is operated as required for flood-prevention purposes as a unit of a coordinated reservoir sys- tem for the protection of Pittsburgh 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 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 opera- tion of the dam, made in 1948 is $47,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Plans Were completed for a storage building and some preliminary work Was performed consisting of miscellaneous engineering work. Con- Struction of the concrete spillway lining and the paving of the access road and parking area were completed under .contract. partial payments were continued for highway relocation work being performed by the owning agency under agreement. Approxi- 'lately 1,100 acres of land were re-cleared by hired labor to com- Plete this item of work. In connection with the acquisition of land, final disbursements were made on five tracts in condemna- tion. M aintenance: (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 year.

(See U. S. Geological Survey for Warren, Ravenna, and Alliance, Ohio.) 2074 REPORT OF CHIIUF OF ENGINEERS, U. . ARMY, 1948 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 gen- eral 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 $6,381,000.' The estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the dam, made in 1948 is $46,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Some preliminary work was performed consisting of miscellaneous en- gineering work. The construction of the storage building was comlD pleted under contract. Work was readvertised for the construec tion of the stilling weir and gage house. Landscaping work was continued by hired labor. In connection with the acquisition Of land, final disbursements were made on four tracts in con- demnation. 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. Work was in progress during the year on reservoir development features consisting of the maintenance of public use areas. General rains from the 11th to 15th of April caused a flood which crested at 44.2 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. The reduction made by this reservoir in combination with the seven other operat- ing reservoirs in the Pittsburgh District was 4.7 feet at Wheeling' The water stored during this flood was retained for low-water reg- ulation. Routine operations in accordance with the low-Water schedule for maintaining satisfactory flows at Youngstown, Ohio, were made during the remainderof the year, except on the occa' sion of several minor rises when some water was stored and re- leased as river conditions permitted. The highest level reached bY the reservoir pool during the year was elevation 1,030.4 on May 7' 1948, when 81,000 acre-feet of water were impounded above the permanent storage level. The total costs were $45,672.31 of which $22,990.24 was for new work and $22,682.07 for maintenance. 'The total expenditures were $43,571.08. 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. Construec tion of the dam was started in January 1942 and completed in June 1943. Approximately 95 percent of the clearing work in the FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGtH, PA., DISTRICT 2075 reservoir area has been completed. All work necessary to the acquisition of land in the reservoir area is approximately 96.5 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. Work remaining to be done consists of pre- liminary work; completing clearing of the reservoir area; com- Pleting utility settlements; completion of settlements in connection With highway relocation; concluding all work in connection with th acquisition of land; construction of a concrete stilling weir and gage house, public sanitary building and damtenders' dwell- ings; paving of the parking area; completing landscaping; and completing certain miscellaneous appurtenances to the dam. Planning and construction of the public sanitary building and Parking area is contingent upon the action taken on the proposed agreement with the State of Ohio for the construction and opera- tion of these features by the State. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all from regular unds, were $6,043,378.30, of which $5,926,378.46 was for new Work and $116,999.84 for maintenance.

MOSQUITO CREEK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location.-The dam site is located on Mosquito Creek, 9 miles above the junction of the creek with the Mahoning River at Niles, Ohio, and about 18 miles upstream from Youngstown, Ohio. The reservoir is located in central Trumbull. County, northeastern Ohio. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Bristolville, Ohio, and Kinsman, 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 Fiver, 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 ap- Plies to the upper Ohio River Valley, below the mouth of the Beaver River. The remaining 6,100 acre-feet are in permanent storage. The reservoir is operated for flood-prevention purposes as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the 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 damn, made in 1948, is $37,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Oerations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Some Preliminary work was performed consisting of miscellaneous en- Gineering work. A settlement was effected with the contractor for the construction of the embankment and outlet works in connec- tion with his claim for additional compensation for the perform- ance of extra work. Landscaping by hired labor was continued. In connection with the acquisition of land, two awards in con- demlnation were approved and final disbursements made on two tracts. Maintenance (operating and care) : The reservoir was operated effectively for low-water regulation, as required, and necessary repairs made to the grounds and plant. Work was in progress on reservoir development features consisting of maintenance of pub- lic use areas. General rains from the 11th to 15th of April caused a flood which crested at 44.2 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. The reduction made by 2078 REPORT OF CIIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 this reservoir in combination with the seven other operating reser- voirs in the Pittsburgh District was 4.7 feet at Wheeling. The water stored during this flood was retained for low-water regula- tion. Routine operations in accordance with the low-water sched- ule for maintaining satisfactory flows at Youngstown, Ohio, 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 reser- voir pool during the year was elevation 901.9 on May 8, 1948, when 80,200 acre-feet of water were impounded above the permanent storage level. The total costs were $60,902.09, of which $44,808.84 was for new work and $16,093.25 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $62,248.23. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and is in operation for flood-control and low-water regulation purposes in the industrialized Mahoning and Beaver Valleys, below. Con- struction of the dam was started in July 1943 and was ready for beneficial use in January 1944. All work necessary to the final conclusion of the acquisition of land in the reservoir area is ap- proximately 98.2 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.

Va., approximately 155 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa. It is situated at the downstream end of a long, broad reach of the upper Tygart Valley, approximately 75 miles above the mouth of the river. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for Elkins, W. Va.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for divert- ing flood discharges from the upstream arm of the loop of the natural river channel into an artificial cut-off channel, thereby by-passing the city of Elkins. The improvement consists of a fully impervious rolled-earth upstream diversion dike, approximately 1,250 feet long; a diversion or cut-off channel, approximately 1,600 feet long, 140 feet wide and 15 feet deep; a downstream protection dike, approximately 2,500 feet long; controlled inlet and outlet conduits through the dikes; a pondage basin within the protected area to store storm run-off during diversion periods; and an inci- dental pondage basin upstream from the diversion dike to aid low- water flow. The structures of the project will be adequate to provide complete protection of Elkins against the maximum flood of reasonable expectancy. The existing project was authorized bY the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated Federal cost of new work, revised in June 1946, is $1,750,000, the estimated non-Federal cost is $40,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: The construction of the flood protection works was continued under contract. Excavation and concreting operations were completed in the canal spillway. Approximately 125,013 cubic yards of ex- cavation were removed from the canal and borrow areas and 70,384 cubic yards of rolled fill was placed in the protection and diversidn dams. The relocation of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was sub- stantially completed except for ballast work. The relocation of utilities and highways was in progress during the year. In con- nection with the acquisition of land, one tract was transferred from fee to condemnation steps, declaration of taking filed, and with deposit made in the district court of West Virginia. One tract owned by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co. covered by the railroad relocation agreement was removed from acquisition. The total costs were $580,110.15, all for new work.

Location.--The site of the proposed dam is on Turtle Creek in and Westmoreland Counties, Pa., 8 miles above its rth and about 10 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pa. 2100 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Existing project.---The project provides for the construction of a dam and reservoir primarily for flood control with incidental water supply and pollution abatement benefits. The proposed dam is of rolled earth filled type with a top length of 578 feet and a maximum height of 128 feet. The reservoir will impound 29,600 acre-feet of which 14,400 acre-feet will be available for flood con- trol during the summer months and 21,600 acre-feet will be avail- able for flood control during the winter season. The reservoir created by the dam will extend 4.8 miles upstream. The Federal estimated cost of the project, revised in 1948, is $4,209,000. In addition to this amount, local interests are to pro- vide $2,862,000. The project has been selected for construction under the addi- tional authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944. Local cooperation.-Localcooperation is required by the author- izing act in view of the fact that most of the flood control benefits will accrue to the local valley as well as benefits accruing from the increase in low stream flows. Assurances of local cooperation have not been furnished. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Work on prepara- tion of detailed project plans was continued. The total costs dur- ing the year were $11,373.86, and the total expenditures during the year were $10,112.99. Condition at end of fiscal year.-At the end of the fiscal year the preparation of the detailed project plans were approximately 55 percent complete. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $31,544.38, and the total expenditures were $30,283.55. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1948 plus an allotment of $40,000 made in July 1948 will be applied to accounts payable and to completion of detailed plans and ini- tiation of preparation of construction plans and specifications. The additional sum of $400,000 can be profitably expended in the fiscal year 1950 for initiation of highway and railroad relocation work required by the project construction.

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 parallel piers at the entrance 200 feet apart and 800 and 825 feet long, respectively, the piers to consist of two rows of piling filled in with slabs and topped with large rock; for the construction of a return pile revetment at the inner end of the east pier 45 feet in length, to preserve the sand spit from erosion; for dredging two inner channels 8 feet deep, one extending southerly 340 feet with a width of 60 feet, and one easterly 1,170 feet with a width of 70 feet, from an irregular shaped turning basin 15 feet deep at the inner end of the piers, and for dredging a channel 150 feet wide with a 15-foot depth between the piers. 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 fluctU' ations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and baro- metric conditions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1948, is $68,400. The latest (1948) approved estimate for maintenance is $20,000.

The costs of the work done during the Year Were $9,404.30 for dredging and $818.75 for inspections and SUrveys, a total of $10,223.05, all for maintenance. The total ex- lenditures were $10,306.63. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project, which is about 70 percent complete, consists of two entrance piers, 800 and th25 feet long, completed in 1917; a pile revetment 45 feet long at the inner end of the east pier and perpendicular to it, completed "a 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, end 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 Clodition due to decay, wear of ice, and settlement of stone and lab filling. At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depth was 15 feet for a width of 50 feet in the lake approach and between the piers. 50 complete the project it would be necessary to widen the channel 0 feet between the piers and to construct two inner channels 8 feet deep, 1,170 and 340 feet in length. The total costs were $172,436.68, of which $48,355.23 was for new work and $124,081.45 for maintenance. The total expenditures Were $172,520.26.

Terminal facilities.--The six coal docks, three general merchan dise wharves, and several minor wharves, all privately owned, are served by improvements made along Keweenaw Waterway. The city of Hancock has two publicly owned wharves. village o Houghton has wharf improvements at the ends of three streets. ,The The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. 0 Operations and results during the fiscal year.-New work: 2,95 linear feet of steel sheet pile revetment was constructed bY con- tract at the upper entrance. Modification of the breakwater pier heads at the upper entrance was started with Government plant and hired labor. The costs of the various items of new work done during the year were as follows: $54,953.42 for revetment con- struction and $22,267.35 for pierhead construction, a total of $71- 220.77. The expenditures were $128,033.27. ed Maintenance: The following maintenance work was performe by United States plant: 53,636 cubic yards of material Wvere dredged at the upper entrance in the Stilling Basin and Lily Pond 1,403 tons of stone were placed on the east breakwater at the up* per entrance; and repairs were made to the east revetment at the upper entrance including placing of additional lengths of steel sheet piling and placing of 1,862 tons of riprap stone. The costs of the various items of maintenance work done during the year were as follows: $36,324.67 for dredging; $20,255.55 for breakwater repairs; $22,815.52 for revetment repairs; and $12', 801.14 for inspections, surveys, and waterway patrol; a total o $92,196.88. The expenditures were $110,067.42. The total costs, all work, were $169,417.65 and the total ex- penditures were $238,100.69. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project is 72 per' cent complete. The breakwaters are in goad condition except for a weakness occurring in about 300 feet of the substructure of the breakwater at the lower entrance, and the stone-covered portion of the breakwaters at the upper entrance are in need of minor IVRS AND IIAtBORS-P-DULIUI, MINN., DISTRICT 2137 repairs. The remaining timber revetments along the waterway are l Poor condition. The mooring pier at the Lily Pond requires re- Pairs to halt movement, and permit dredging to project depth ad- Jacent thereto, and that at the Portage River harbor of refuge is in good condition. Annual redredging of channels will be required Idefinitely. The controlling depth on June 30, 1948, was 25 feet. o Complete the project there remains the extension of the lower entrance breakwater, and the necessary alteration or replacement f structures due to deepening of channels. or work performed with regular funds, the costs of the existing Droject were $5,300,480.54 for new work and $2,873,433.54 for maintenance, a total of $8,173,914.08.

Recommended modifications of project.-Under date of June 24, 1926, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the project be curtailed by reducing the channel width to 100 feet and the turning basin to 250 feet (H. Doc. 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.-Preliminary work in connection with maintenance dredging was done at a cost of $3,- 568.91. The total expenditures were $4,000.58. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project as a whole iS '6 percent complete. The protective jetty was completed in 1910 ad reconstructed as a rubble mound in 1929. It is in good condition. The turning basin at the Warroad wharves was completed in 1911 and a channel 200 feet wide and 8 feet deep was completed in 1915 The controlling depth in the channel is 2.5 feet below low-water datum which is 1,056 feet above mean tide level at New'York, for a least width of 100 feet. Annual maintenance is necessary. The shore revetment is in need of minor repairs. The work to be done to complete that part of the existing projhecte 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 $290,244.59 for mainte' nance, a total of $374,049.95. The total expenditures were $408,' 605.44. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end oI the fiscal year amounting to $12,145.67, plus accounts receivable of $41.85, plus an allotment of $16,000 made in July 1948, a total of $28,187.52, will be applied to maintenance as follows: RIVERS AND IIARHBORSl--DUIJUTII, MINN., DISTRICT 2151 Accounts payable___ ___ __________$10.06 redging with U.

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, ease- ments, rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and subsequent maintenance as required. (2) Give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will maintain a suitable public wharf open to all on equal terms. (3) Hold and save the United States free from any claims for damages resulting from the improvement. None of the above requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-The village of Baudette has a timber wharf, and its use is open to all on equal terms. The State of Minnesota has constructed a boathouse and warehouse adjoining the public wharf. In addition to the foregoing, there are several privately owned small and little used wharves on both sides of the river. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No work was done or funds expended. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 23 per- cent complete. The available depth in the channel on June , 1948, 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. and The costs and expenditures were $4,524.68 for new work an $13,042.13 for maintenance, a total of $17,566.81. RIVERS AND IIARBORS-DULUTHI, MINN., DISTRICT 2153 Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is contemplated in the fiscal year 1949. New work consisting of extension of the channel by dredging is necessary to complete the project. The additional sum of $24,500 lan be profitably expended during fiscal year 1950 with U. S. pipe- e dredge Traverse during the summer of 1949 for this work.

Location.-This harbor is on the north shore of Lake Michigan, about 135 miles northeasterly from Green Bay Harbor and 220 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 701.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details see page 1933 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1422 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for two breakwaters extend- ing 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 break- waters, respectively, and for a channel 18 feet deep except where rock is encountered at less depth. This channel extends from that depth in the lake up the river a.distance, of 1,650 feet from its mouth, having a total length of 3,200 feet from the outer end in the lake and varies in width from 180 to 475 feet, the west side at the river mouth being protected by a pier 375 feet long. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled, piling and timber cribs, capped with concrete superstructure; the west pier is formed of stone-filled plank cribs. The project depth: is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at NewYork.. 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 12 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 (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Act Work authorized Document Mar. 3, 1905Breakwaters and outer harbor--- ._I. Doc. 429, 58thCong., 2d sess.

"The latest publishedsn Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.--Besides a car-ferry slip there are two coal and building material wharves, two fishing wharves, and numerous lumberyard slips. While these facilities are considered fairly ade- quate for existing commerce, it is believed that a wharf, with rail connection and under public control, should be' provided. d Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consiste of completing the sweeping of channel and removal of loose rock, in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, at a cost ok $5,923.86 Soundings were taken at a cost of $1,478.23. All work RIVERS AND IIARBIORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., I)ISTRICT 2163 Was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $7,402.09 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $7,613.06. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1917. The construction of the breakwaters inclosing the basin was commenced in May 1911 and completed in November 1 9 4. Construction of the plank-crib pier was commenced in May 18909 and completed in October 1909. Dredging of the channel to 18 feet over practically all the area below the carferry slip was ofnmenced Of in June 1915 and completed in July 1915. Dredging the channel above the slip to ledge rock was commenced in July 1917 and completed in August 1917. The breakwaters are in gen- erally 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 close of the fiscal year were 17.3 feet in the Channel through the outer basin to the river mouth, thence 15.6 feet 11 the river to about 550 feet above the car ferry slip, decreasing to about 15 feet over a width of about 75 feet along the west revet- e0t to the coal wharf. The costs under the existing project were of 7,252.18 for new work and $212,387.08 for maintenance, a total Of$519,639.26. The total expenditures were $519,997.98.

These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. of erations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted f dredging 89,275 cubic yards of material for restoration of PIroject depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a Cost of $45,319.75 for maintenance. The total net expenditures ere $46,769.74. lCondition 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 O a turning basin at the mouth of East River. Deepening and Widening the outer channel in Green Bay, to existing project depth "ndWidth, was commenced in August 1934 and completed in No- vember 1936. Dredging the channel in Fox River through the city Of Green Bay was commenced in May 1935 and completed in No- eomber 1935. Dredging the turning basin above the Chicago & North Western Railway bridge was commenced in August 1938 an d completed in September 1938. Dredging the inner channel 192 turning basin to existing project depth was commenced in June 1 1 6 and completed in October 1926. The east revetment at Grassy Island, built in 1869, is in generally good condition. The west d vetirent was entirely removed in July depth at low-water datum at the close of 1935.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 2175 7. FOX RIVER, WIS. Location.--This river rises in Columbia County, Wis., and flows Sa northerly direction into Green Bay. Its length is about 176 files. The Wolf River, physically the main river but by designa- tiona tributary of the Fox, rises in the central part of Forest County, Wis., and flows in a southerly direction about 220 miles into he Fox River 10 miles above Oshkosh. (See U. S. Lake Survey hart No. 7 2 6 for Lake Winnebago and lower Fox River.) Previous projects.-As provided by special act of July 7, 1870, and River and Harbor Act of June 10, 1872, the original project Was modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1873. The improvement of the Wisconsin River was abandoned in 1887 (Annual Report for 1887, p. 2096). For further details see Rage 1940 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1434 of Annual peort for 1938. thEisting project.-This provides for deepening and widening tohe channel of Fox River from De Pere, 7 miles above the mouth, to Portage, Wis., a total length of 156 miles, the depth between cut Pere ce belowand Montello, 125 miles, to be 6 feet, with 9.6 feet in rock De Pere lock and 7 feet in other rock cuts on the lower tlVer 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 Concrete and reconstruction of 27 locks.and 16 dams; for a retaining wall at Kaukauna; for construction and mainte- nance of harbors having depths of 6 feet on Lake Winnebago; for Wvidening Neenah Channel to 100 feet, with a 6-foot depth for a ngth of about 1 mile; and for dredging, snagging, and otherwise of 47 miles,Wolf ofProving the River depth from its mouth to New London, a distance to be 4 feet.

Local cooperation.--None required. Terminal facilities.-The wharf and landing facilities are in general adequate for the accommodation of existing commerce. ,Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance:Opera- t0ons consisted of dredging and removing loose stone, boulders, and other materials from the river channel above Appleton upper tom, below Appleton fourth lock and on the upper Fox River, at a total cost of $5,307.56 for maintenance. OPerating and care: Operations consisted of making necessary repairs to locks, dams, canal banks, and lock houses, including cleaning and painting four sluice gates at De Pere dam, three sluice es at Rapide Croche dam and one gate at Kaukauna dam; also ebuilding the upper portion of the timber lining at Menasha lock, cmPleting rebuilding the upper portion of the timber lining at l ntello lock, and rebuilding lower lock gates at Appleton second lock, at a cost of $61,687.59, The locks and dams were operated inaccordance with the existing project and gages were read at a Qost of $154,309.01. All work was done by hired labor and use of 9 overnment plant. The total cost of operating and care was $215,- 96.60. The total cost of all work was $221,304.16. The total net exenditures were $360,241.60. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 44 Percent complete (upper river 25 percent; lower, 83 percent). Wenty-two original locks and nine original dams have been re- uilt; five additional locks and dams have been built by the United ates. (See existing project for year of completion of each). ale structures and the dredging in pools have increased the origi- nal depths generally about 2 feet.

S. ARMY, 1948 to the Mississippi River. The work remaining to be done to com- plete the project is dredging in the upper Fox River and the upper portion of the Wolf River; also rock removal and deepening Neenah Channel on lower Fox River. Deepening Neenah Channel is no longer desired by navigation interests. The remaining rock removal is not needed unless there is a material increase in corn- merce. Additional dredging on the upper river is no longer con- sidered necessary and is not justifiable from an economic stand- point. Except for Kaukauna fifth lock, which should be rebuilt and the upper chamber of combined locks which should be repaired the existing locks and dams are in generally good condition. The costs under the existing project were $871,724.01 for new work and $4,296,210.87 for maintenance, including $1,793,883.87 for operating and care, a total of $5,167,934.88. The total expenditures were $5,305,656.34. In addition, the sum of $3,795,495.53 (includ ing $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 in- definite appropriation for such purposes.of Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $4,927.11, plus an allotment $422,500 made in July 1948, plus accounts receivable of $688.3' plus reimbursed funds from an advance to plant of $125,000, a total of $553,115.49 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1948-------------------------------- $547.37 Maintenance: Operation of U.

HARBORS AT WASHINGTON ISLAND, WIS. Location.--In the entrance to Green Bay, a westerly arm of Lake Michigan, distant about 4 miles northeasterly from the north end of the peninsula which separates Green Bay from Lake Michigan and about 30 miles southeasterly from Escanaba, Mich. (See U. S Lake Survey Chart No. 702.) at Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel at Detroit Harbor, located on the south side of Washington Island, 150 feet wide and 14 feet deep at low-water datum from that depth in Green Bay to a turning basin of the same depth, 400 feet long and 150 to 300 feet wide, near the inner end of Detroit Island, a distance of about 3,700 feet; and for an entrance channel at Jack- son Harbor, located on the north side of Washington Island, 150 feet wide and 12 feet deep at low-water datum through the entrance bar, a distance of about 500 feet. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake 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 fluctuatio of a temporary nature, due to wind and, barometric pressure,he about 1~2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing a the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948, is $109,800' The latest (1937) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte nance is $2,300 ($1,500 for Detroit Harbor and $800 for Jackson Harbor). The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. 90, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.-At Detroit Harbor there is a ferry dock, several fishing wharves, and a marine railway. At Jackson Harbor there are several fishing wharves and a landing for small craft. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-There were no oper- ations or costs at these harbors during the fiscal year. bot Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is abou 92 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is removal rock from Jackson Harbor to provide project depth of 12 feet, Of which is not considered necessary under present conditions. Dreds RIVEIS AND HARIBOIS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 2183 g of the channel and turning basin at Detroit Harbor and, the channel to ledge rock at Jackson Harbor was commenced in Novem- ber 1938 and completed in October 1939.

SOUTH HAVEN HARBOR, MICH. Location.-Located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 77 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 24 miles northerly from St. Joseph. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 76.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 14, 1880, August 2, 1882, and August 11, 1888. (For further details see p. 1947 of Annual Report for 1915 and p. 1473 of Annual Report for 1938.) Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of Black River by two piers and revetments, 190 to 166 feet apart, With lengths of 2,143 feet and 2,182 feet for the north and south sides, respectively; for an entrance channel 21 feet wide to the shore line; thence a channel 19 feet deep and 130 feet wide, extend- ing up the river to a turning basin 375 feet wide and 19 feet deep, located immediately below the Dyckman Avenue Bridge. The length of entrance channel to the inner end of the piers is about 2,700 feet and in the river to the bridge 2,400 feet. The piers and revetments are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling and are capped with concrete. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level pre- vailing at the time. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1948, is $288,000, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $35,000.

S. ARMY, 1948 Local cooperation.-The act of August 30, 1935, provided "that Ino expense shall be incurred by the United States for the acquiring of any lands required for the purpose of this improvement." Ac- cording to latest information, no land will be required, as enlarge- ment of the basin is not desired by local interests. All prior re- quirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-These consist of several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, wood pulp, fish, and miscel- laneous commodities. The city has constructed a municipal wharf and warehouse. The municipal wharf is leased to a private cor- poration which operates it in the interest of general commerce on like terms for like service. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 43,079 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth at a cost of $20,251.42. Dredging done during the pre- vious fiscal year involved a cost of $428.86. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $20,680.28 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $25,922.76. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 87 percent complete. The work remaining to be done consists of enlargement of the turning basin, which is not now desired by local interests. The piers and revetments completed in 1913 are in generally good condition. Dredging of the channel and existing turning basin to existing project depth, was commenced in May, 1938, and completed in June, 1938. 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 $666,955.91 for maintenance, a total of $871,003.29. The total expenditures were $877,485.37. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $575.35, plus accounts receivable of $6,- 482.08, plus an allotment of $17,000 made in July, 1948, a total of $24,057.43 will be applied to maintenance operation of U.

SAUGATUCK HARBOR AND KALAMAZOO RIVER, MICH. Location.-Located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 90 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 22 miles northerly from South Haven. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 76.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 25, 1868, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of July 11, 1870. For further details see p. 1947 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1475 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel be- tween parallel piers, 200 feet apart, having lengths of 2,778 and 2,514 feet for the north and south piers, respectively, and for a channel 16 feet deep and 100 feet wide, extending from that depth in Lake Michigan to the mouth of the river, thence 14 feet deep, 90 feet wide, in the Kalamazoo River up to Saugatuck, a distance of 9,000 feet. The piers are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling and are capped with concrete except for the inner 276 feet of the north revetment. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme 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 1910, was $286,000, exclusive of the amount expended on previous projects. The latest 2218 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $22,000.

Recommended modifications of project.--Legislation authorizing the abandonment of the project has been recommended in House Document 292, Sixty-fifth Congress, first session. Terminal facilities.-At the village of Saugatuck there are sev- eral landing places for small vessels and one for commercial vessels. At the village of Douglass there is a landing pier. The terminal facilities are available for general use and are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 40,445 cubic yards of materials to provide depths of 14 feet in the entrance channel and 12 feet in the river at a cost of $24,229.56. Reconstructing 250 linear feet of the south revet- ment, including new pile substructure with concrete superstruc- ture, in progress at the close of the fiscal year, involved a cost of $17,559.44. All work was done by hired labor and use of Govern- ment plant. The total cost was $41,789 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $43,522.68. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1911. Pier construction and dredging between the piers was completed in 1908; dredging in the river was completed in 1911. Except for a portion of the south revetment, which is being rebuilt, the piers and revetments are in generally good condition. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 10.5 feet in the channel between the piers and 10.8 feet in the river to Saugatuck. The costs under the existing project were $274,294.80 for the new work and $493,671.37 for mainte- nance, a total of $767,966.17. The total expenditures were $770,108.70. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $558.45, plus accounts receivable of $383.39 and an allotment of $43,000 made in July, 1948, a total of $43,941.84 will be applied as follows: Maintenance: .

ARMY, 1948 Existing project.-This provides for protecting the outlet of the channel from Lake Macatawa (formerly Black Lake) by two con- verging piers having lengths of 752 and 801 feet for the north and south piers, respectively, and with widths between them of 300 feet at the outer end and 740 feet at the inner end; for inner piers and revetments along the channel from Lake Macatawa about 180 feet apart, with lengths of 1,755 and 1,639 feet for the north and south piers, respectively; and for dredging a channel 23 feet deep from that depth in Lake Michigan to a point 400 feet inside the entrance between the outer piers, thence decreasing to 21 feet at the outer end of the inner piers, thence 21 feet between the inner piers and through Lake Macatawa to the turning basin at Holland; and for widening the turning basin to 600 feet, 21 feet deep within the channel limits and 18 feet deep outside the channel limits, the width of channel being 300 feet through the outer harbor, thence reducing from 140 feet to 110 feet between the inner piers and revetments, thence increasing to 150 feet in the channel in Lake Macatawa to the turning basin, the length of the dredged channel, including that in the westerly end of Lake Macatawa, being about 1 mile, and that in the easterly end of Lake Macatawa, including the turning basin, being about 3 miles, the total distance from the outer end of the channel to the wharves at Holland being 5.5 miles. The piers and revetments are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, all of which are capped with concrete superstructure. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctua- tions of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1935, was $480,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000.

Two shipbuilding yards are located on the south shore of Lake Macatawa. The city of Holland has provided a public wharf for small craft. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 30,346 cubic yards of material for restoration of proj- ect depth at a cost of $14,086.76. Placing 999 tons of stone as riprap along the converging piers cost $5,403.76. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $19,490.52, for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $19,409.20. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1938. The piers and revetments completed in 1910 are in generally good condition except that portions of the north pier and revetment require repairs. Dredging of the entrance channel to existing project depth, and the channel and turning basin in Lake Macatawa was commenced in May, 1938, and completed in October, 1938. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 21.8 feet in the basin between the converging piers, 21.7 feet in the channel between the inner piers to Lake Macatawa, 21 feet in the inner channel in Lake Macatawa to the wharves at Holland and 18 feet in the turning basin. The costs under the existing project were $452,402.15 for new work, and $806,368.70 for maintenance, a total of $1,258,770.85. The total expenditures were $1,258,618.52.

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 modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1949 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1481 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the river by piers and revetments, 415 feet apart at the entrance, diminishing to 390 feet inside, about 3,569 and 5,549 feet in length for the north and south sides, respectively, and for a channel 23 feet deep and generally 300 feet wide and 1,500 feet long from that depth in the lake to a point about 1,000 feet inside the pier ends; thence 21 feet deep and 300 feet wide and 114 miles long to the car- ferry slip, with an enlargement at the upper end; thence 21 feet deep and 300 feet wide and 11/ miles long from the car-ferry slip to the Grand Trunk Railway bridge at Ferrysburg; with a turning basin 18 feet deep on the south side of the channel just below that bridge; thence a channel 18 feet deep and generally 100 feet wide to deep water in Spring Lake, a distance of about 1,350 feet in the river and about 1,750 feet up the outlet from Spring Lake; and for RIVERS AND IIARBORS-MILWAUKEE WIS., DISTRICT 2223 a channel in Grand River 8 feet deep at low-water datum, 100 feet wide and 141/2 miles long to Bass River, the total length of river channel being about 171/2 miles. The piers and revetments are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, all of which are capped with concrete superstructure. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1948, was $1,002,700, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $103,000. 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 ex- treme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and baro- metric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time.

Local cooperation.-Theact 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 re- sulting 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 assur- ances that they will be met. These assurances were furnished by the city of Grand Haven and were approved by the Assistant Chief of Engineers on February 3, 1948. Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip, there are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, petroleum products, fish, and miscellaneous commodities. The car-ferry slip is not in use at present. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce except that there should be a public wharf in Grand Haven for transfer between rail and water. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operations consisted of dredging 172,116 cubic yards of material for restoration of 2224 REPORT OF CHIIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 project depth, below the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, at a cost of $50,725.11. Dredging 238,685 cubic yards of material for restora- tion of project depth in the river above the Grand Trunk Railway bridge cost $48,296.73. Emergency repairs to the north and south piers, which were in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year, were completed at a cost of $16,817.92. Dredging done dur- ing the previous fiscal year involved a cost of $253.64. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $116,093.40 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $124,906.21. 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 modification, is a small amount of dredging on the northerly side of the inner channel at the point of land 1,350 feet upstream from the inner end of the north revetment. This dredging cannot be done without revetting the bank or endangering private cottages. The present channel past this site, having a least width of 240 feet, is considered adequate, for present and reasonably prospective commerce. 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 condition except that the south revetment requires repairs. Dredging of that portion of the chan- nel 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 commenced in August, 1930, and completed in October, 1930, with advanced funds. Dredging of the river above the railway bridge to Bass River to existing project depth, was commenced in April, 1931, and completed in June, 1931. Dredging the channel into Spring Lake was commenced in September, 1938, and com- pleted in November, 1938. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 22 feet between the piers, thence 21 feet in the river to the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, and thence 8 feet to Bass River and 16.6 feet in the outlet from Spring Lake. The costs under the existing project were $747,- 724.47 for new work and $2,070,559.08 for maintenance, a total of $2,818,283.55. The total expenditures were $2,829,266.93. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $13,196.06, plus accounts receivable of $9,720.57, plus an allotment of $291,000 made in July, 1948, a total of $313,916.63 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1948 ____ -__________ __ - -___ $141.00 New work: Dredging a channel 300 feet wide and 21 feet deep from car ferry slip to and including a turning basin 18 feet deep at the Grand Trunk Western railroad bridge by contract during the -------.-------- summer and fall of 1948_._____ ___-___ 225,000.00 RIVERS AND IIARBORS-MILWAUKEE, VIS., DISTRICT 2225 Maintenance: Operation of U.

MUSKEGON HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 114 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 80 miles easterly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 767.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, June 23, 1874, August 2, 1882, September 19, 1890, Aug- ust 18, 1894, March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further de- tails, 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 Michigan, formed by two arrowhead breakwaters, the south 1,514" feet and the north 1,404 feet long, 500 feet apart at the outer ends diverging at an angle of about 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 dredg- ing channel 380 feet wide at the entrance, thence increasing to 650 feet wide at a point about 300 feet inside the entrance, thence de- creasing toward the new pierheads to 500 feet wide and 240 feet wide between the piers, with depths varying from 24 feet at the harbor entrance to 21 feet at the shore line and in the inner chan- nel to Muskegon Lake, about 6,050 feet from the harbor entrance. The south breakwater and shore connection are built of concrete caissons and piling capped with concrete; the north breakwater is a rubble mound; the inner piers and revetments are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, all having been capped with concrete. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluc- RIVERS AND IIARBORS-MIILWAUTKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 2227 tuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $1,- 885,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $28,000.

Terminal facilities.---he 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 miscel- laneous commodities. There is also a sand wharf at the west end of Muskegon Lake south of the inner end of the improved channel. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 2,337 cubic years of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $4,517.09. Placing 1,007 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater cost $5,316.02. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $9,833.11 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $9,- 995.93. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was com- pleted in 1938. Construction of the south breakwater and shore connection was commenced in May, 1928, and completed in De- cember, 1930. The construction of the north breakwater and shore connection and the removal of portions of the old piers were com- menced in June, 1930, and completed in December, 1931. Deepen- ing and widening of the entrance channel to existing project depth and width, was comemnced and completed in June, 1932. Repairs to the south revetment around the old car-ferry slip were com- menced in May, 1938, and completed in October, 1938. The outer 54 feet of the south breakwater were removed in 1939, thereby increasing 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 connec- tions are in generally good condition. The inner piers and revet- ments 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 2228 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 $547,226.32 for maintenance, a total of $2,448,148.39. The total expenditures were $2,448,320.56. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $1,165.93, plus an allotment of $25,000 made in July, 1948, a total of $26,165.93, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June:30,'1948 -------------------------------- $474.08 Maintenance: Operation of U.

The dredging was completed in 1917, and the placing of additional stone as riprap in 1918. The breakwaters and shore connections and the inner piers and revetments are in generally good condition. The outer 100 feet of the south breakwater were removed by private interests in 1939 by authority of the Chief of Engineers dated June 2, 1939, thereby increasing the width between the outer ends of the breakwaters to 475 feet. The south breakwater is therefore maintained for only a length of about 1,700 feet. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 27 feet at harbor entrance, thence decreas- ing 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 Marquette Lake. The costs under the existing project were $1,036,085.93 for new work and $1,112,571.36 for maintenance, a total of $2,148,657.29. The total expenditures were $2,151,865.81. : Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $316.64, plus accounts receivable of $3,209.77, plus an allotment of $16,500 made in July, 1948, a total of $20,026.41 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1948_------_ ------------------------ $58.50 Maintenance: Operation of U.

ARMY, 1948 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 con- nection 1,185 feet long, north pier and revetment 2,797 feet long, and south pier and revetment 900 feet long. The breakwater, shore connection, and north pier are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling and are capped with concrete superstructure. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctua- tions of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11 2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1947, was $755,500, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $33,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 2, 1867 Entrance piers -------------------- _...... ---------- Annual Report, 1867, p. 115.

The Smith Street Bridge and the railroad bridge have been rebuilt, but the Maple Street High- way 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 in- terests were notified on February 14, 1946, of the required condi- tions, and requested to furnish assurances that they will be met. These assurances were furnished by the city of Manistee and were approved by the Assistant Chief of Engineers on February 4, 1948. All prior requirements have been complied with. RIVERS AND ItARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 2237 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. In- dustries on Manistee Lake have wharves used for handling coal, salt, building materials, and pulpwood. The city has provided a wharf on the south side of the river for general public use. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of dredging 34,150 cubic yards of material for restoration of pro- ject depth, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost. of $15,106.25 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $25,746.96. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was about 96 percent complete. The work remaining to be done, under the project, prior to last modification, consists of dredging the river to project dimensions from about 800 feet below Maple Street Highway Bridge to Manis- tee 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 providing for a new south pier and widening the river entrance channel. The north pier and revetment, completed in 1893, and the south breakwater and shore connection, completed in 1920, are in generally good condition. Dredging of the outer basin and the river channel to a point about 800 feet below Maple Street Bridge to existing project depth, was commenced in October, 1939 and completed in May, 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 $722,049.25 for main- tenance, a total of $1,206,032.11. The total expenditures were $1,217,433.09. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $19,167.04, including an advance to plant plus an allotment of $264,500 made in July, 1948, a total of $283,667.04 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1948-------------------------------- $474.63 New work: Construction of 772 linear feet of pier and revet- ment by contract during the fall of 1948 and spring of 1949_--------------------------- $135,500.00 Removal of south revetment and widening the river entrance channel to 250 feet with a depth of 21 feet by contract during the fall of 1948 and spring of 1949-____------. ____ 120,000.00 255,500.00 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 Frankfort. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 705.) Existing project.-This provides for the removal of the wrecked outer portions of the old privately owned piers; for the construc- tion of new piers converging from shore to an entrance 60 feet wide, the lengths to be 370 and 440 feet for the north and south piers, respectively; and for an entrance channel 6 feet deep and 40 feet wide, the inner end of channel being about 300 feet inside of the harbor entrance. The new piers are built of piling filled with stone. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake 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/ feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1935, was $60,000. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $7,000. 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of taking soundings at a deferred cost of $365.80. Preliminary 2244 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1948 work on future pier repair work involved a deferred cost of $212.36. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total net expenditures were $8,445.39. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. Construction of the converging piers, removal of the outer portions of the old privately owned piers, and dredging of the entrance channel were commenced in September, 1936, and completed in June, 1937. The upper portions of the converging piers require repairs. 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 inter- ests. Carp River, about 4,000 feet long, connects Leelanau Lake with Lake Michigan. There is a concrete 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 7 feet at en- trance, reducing thence to 3.6 feet at the inner end of the channel through outer harbor, and 2.1 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 expendi- tures were $103,364.76. Proposed operations-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $8,811.18 plus an allotment of $500 made in July, 1948, a total of $9,311.18, including an advance to plant, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1948-------------------------------- $125.12 Maintenance: Construction of steel sheet pile shore connection and repairs to exist- ing rubble mound connection by contract, July-August 1948 -_- 5,000.00 Minor repairs to timber superstructure on outer ends of piers by hired labor during the fall of 1948 3,186.06 Sounding harbor, care and supervision------------ ----------- 1,000.00 Total for alljwork------------------------------------ 9,311.18 The timber superstructure of the south pier is in poor condition and should be rebuilt in concrete.

TRAVERSE CITY HARBOR, MICH. Location.-On the south end of the West Arm of Grand Traverse Bay, distant about 45 miles southwesterly from Charlevoix and 92 miles northerly from Frankfort. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 706.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a basin, 600 feet wide and 1,000 feet long, with depth of 14 feet in the outer 500 feet of the area and 10 feet in the remainder, protected by a break- water about 1,300 feet in length, on the west side of the West Arm about 11/4 miles north of the city limits. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctua- tions of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 21/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1948, is $350,000. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $3,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of June 30, 1948 (H. Dec. 546, 80th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. 2246 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Local cooperation.-The act of June 30, 1948, provided that local interests agree to- 1. Furnish, free of cost to the United States, all necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way for the shoreward end of the break- water including right of access thereto from the public highway, and easements for suitable spoil disposal areas along shore, for the new work and subsequent maintenance, when and as required, in- cluding provision of a low earth dike, when requested by the Chief of Engineers, to retain the dredged materials. 2. Construct, operate, and maintain a suitable public wharf open to all on equal terms. 3. Establish a competent body empowered to regulate the de- velopment and use of the harbor facilities in the best interest of the public. 4. Hold and save the United States free from all damages result- ing from the dredging and construction operations. Negotiations for compliance are in progress. Terminal facilities.--These consist of two coal wharves, two wharves for the receipt of petroleum products, and a small muni- cipal yacht harbor. While these facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, a suitable public wharf open to all on equal terms should be provided. Operationsand results during fiscal year.--There were no opera- tions or costs at this harbor during the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the existing project. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year, in the proposed basin, was about 3.5 feet. There have been no costs or expenditures on the existing project. Proposed operations.-No available funds are available and no operations are contemplated during the fiscal year 1949. Funds are required to construct a breakwater and dredge a mooring basin. The sum of $350,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year ending 1950 as follows: New work: Construction of 1,300 linear feet of sheet pile breakwater by con- tract during summer and fall of 1949---------------------- $205,000 Dredging a mooring basin by contract during summer and fall of 1949----------------------------------------------- 145,000 Total for all work------------------------- ---------- 350,000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948----------.-. ----. -.... .-- Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948, __--- - ........-.......

CHARLEVOIX HARBOR, MICH. Location.-On the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 276 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 75 miles northerly from Frankfort. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 789.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 18 feet deep from that depth in Lake Michigan to that depth in Lake Charlevoix pro- tected where needed by piers and revetments. The piers at the entrance are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and rubblestone, being 781 feet and 452 feet in length on north and south sides, respectively. The entire south pier and the outer 303 feet of the north pier have been provided with concrete superstructure. The revetments are built of piling and are capped with concrete. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake 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 1938, was $95,500. The latest (1948) approved estimate of cost for annual main- tenance is $15,000.

The city of Charlevoix has provided a public wharf south of the inner end of the lower south revetment. A wharf for receipt of petroleum products is located on the west end of Lake Charlevoix. There is also a coal wharf at Boyne City at the inner end of Lake Charlevoix. The city of Boyne City has provided a public wharf for small craft. These facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Operationsconsisted of taking soundings, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a deferred cost of $1,006.53. The total net expenditures were $616.05. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. The north pier and revetment of the lower channel was completed in 1880, and the south pier and revetment in 1889. The revetments of the upper channel were completed in 1885. Dredging of both channels to existing project depth, was com- 2248 REPORT OF CIIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 menced and completed in August, 1939. The north revetment of the upper channel has been entirely removed, a portion being re- moved in 1928 and the remainder in 1930. The piers and revet- ments of the lower channel and the south revetment of the upper channel are in generally good condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 18.7 feet in the lower channel to Round Lake and 19.1 feet in the upper channel to Lake Charlevoix.

PETOSKEY HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 293 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 92 miles northerly from Frankfort, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 706.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of September 19, 1890 and modified by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1954 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1547 of Annual Report for 1931. Existing project.-This provides for a west breakwater, extend- ing from shore, having a total length of 1,345 feet. The break- water is built of stone-filled timber cribs and rubblestone. The timber cribs are capped with concrete superstructure. 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 1894, was $170,- 000, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,000.

This wharf is considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-There were no opera- tions or costs at this harbor during the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1908. The breakwater, constructed during the period 1895 to 1908, is in generally good condition except that the rubble- stone portion requires repairs. The available depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was about 11 feet at the end of the municipal wharf. The costs and expenditures under the existing project were $118,016.18 for new work and $75,044.02 maintenance, a total of $193,060.20. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no operations are contemplated during fiscal year 1949. The south rubble mound shore connection requires additional stone.

WAUKEGAN HARBOR, ILL. Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 51 miles south of Milwaukee and about 38 miles north from Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 74.) 2257 2258 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Previous projects.-An appropriation was made by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852, for a breakwater. This work was abandoned. The original project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880, and modified by River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882. For further details see page 1940 of An- nual Report for 1915, and page 1508 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provided for- (a) A northerly exterior breakwater about 1,900 feet long ex- tending easterly from the shore 1,030 feet and thence southeasterly 870 feet to the outer end, forming a protected outer harbor. (b) Parallel piers, from the outer harbor to an inner basin, about 240 feet apart and 1,613 and 3,212 feet long for the north and south piers, respectively, the inshore end of the south pier diverg- ing southward opposite the inner basin. (c) An entrance channel 390 feet wide and 22 feet deep extend- ing from that depth in the lake to the outer end of the north pier, reducing to a channel between piers 200 feet wide and 18 feet deep to the inner basin, an inner basin 18 feet deep, about 13 acres, protected on the east side by a' revetment 882 feet long, and an anchorage area 8 feet deep, about 6 acres, in the southwest corner of the inner basin. The project depth is referred, to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctua- tions of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/ feet above or, below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1948, is $586,300, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, and excluding $20,000 (cost of bulkhead and boat stalls) to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $19,750, 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:_. -......... ------ ..

RIVERS AND IIARBORS-CIIICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 2259 Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, provided that dredging of the anchorage basin shall not be commenced until local interests furnish assurances to the Secretary of War that they will remove the abandoned water intake pipes; construct an adequate bulkhead in front of the city park and in front of the adjacent United States property; furnish, free of cost to the United States, the land necessary for the anchorage area; release the United States from all claims for damages resulting from the improve- ment and provide and maintain adequate mooring facilities. Local interests were informed of requirements on July 1, 1946. Appli- cation for permit to construct the required bulkhead is being pro- cessed at the present time and compliance with the remaining requirements is anticipated on completion of the bulkhead. 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 fiscal year.-Miscellaneous sur- veys were conducted by hired labor at a cost of $3,168.41. Pre- liminary operations for reconstruction of the revetment adjoining United States property on the east side of the inner basin, was performed by hired labor at a cost of $190.35. Dredging to restore project depths in the entrance channel and in the inner basin was accomplished by hired labor and Government plant at a cost of $40,189.63. Dredging was initiated on October 14, 1947, and was completed November 6, 1947, after a total of 56,041 cubic yards of material were removed. The total costs for the fiscal year were $43,548.39, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $44,- 890.07. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 94 per- cent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of 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 were completed in 1904 and the 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 18.6 feet in the entrance channel to the outer end of the north pier and 17.9 feet in the remaining portion of the entrance channel and inner basin. Depths are based on soundings taken in November, 1947 and are referred to low- water datum. The mean-water level in June, 1948 was 2.34 feet above datum. The total cost to June 30, 1948, was $1,414,632.44, of which $536,757.92 was for new work and $877,874.52 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $1,415,974.12. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, amounting to $609.93, plus accounts receivable of 2260 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 $1,341.68, plus an allotment of $14,500 made in July, 1948, a total of $16,451.61, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1949 ---------------- $2,500.00 Riprapping breakwater, by contract, September 1948 13,951.61 Total --------------------------------------------- 16,451.61 The additional sum of $72,500 can be profitably expended in the fiscal year 1950 as follows: Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1950_ _$2,500 Reconstruction of 270 feet of east revetment adjoining United States property, by contract, May 1950 to July 1950 ----------------- 70,000 Total ----------------------------------------------- 72,500 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948__- ___-__ ___ -______ $754,991.46 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948- __-.........-.-... ... 893,585.39 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948----------- 1,648,576.85 Plus accounts receivable, June 30, 1948_----.--.-.-----.--.-- -1,341.68 Gross total costs to June 30, 1948 -------------------- 1,649,918.53 Net total expenditures- ----------------...------- 1,649,918.53 Unexjended balance, June 30, 1948__-----.---------------.--- 609.93 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1948 1,650,528.46 .------------- Fiscal year ending June 30- 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 Cost of new work ................ . .---...........................................................

(c) Maintenance dredging to a depth of 21 feet of that part of the inner basin lying north of a line drawn eastwardly perpen- dicular to the eastern boundary of Grant Park, from the northern end of said boundary, and also of the entrance to Chicago River from the lake to Rush Street over a width varying from 470 to 190 feet. (d) Maintenance of that section of the north pier, 900 feet long, located east of the entrance to Ogden slip. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Mich- igan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and tempo- rary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot due to wind and difference in barometric pressures occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1914, was $3,- 686,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1928) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $50,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 2262 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 muni- cipal pier extending into the outer basin from the lake front at the outer end of Grand Avenue. The municipal pier is not avail- able to commercial navigation. The outer harbor facilities are not entirely adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous sur- veys, including soundings for riprapping, were conducted by hired labor, at a total cost of $4,209.66, all maintenance. The total ex- penditures were $4,490.81. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1923. The entrance to Chicago River has been improved by the construction of parallel entrance piers, and dredging of a channel 190 to 470 feet in width and 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 the 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 con- crete superstructure. The southerly arm (timber, 2,544 feet, com- pleted in 1880; concrete superstructure completed in 1930), is in good condition. The exterior breakwater (timber, 5,418 feet, com- pleted in 1889; concrete superstructure completed in 1930), the southerly extension (rubble mound, 2,227 feet, completed in 1917), and the south arm (rubble mound, 1,532 feet, completed in 1920; and concrete caisson, 1,185 feet, completed in 1923) are in good condition, except that some riprap is required. The shore arm (timber, 2,250 feet, completed in 1917), has deteriorated above the water line and the entire superstructure should be replaced with concrete. The deck slab of the north pier (concrete super- structure, 975 feet, completed in 1908) should be repaired. The fence adjoining the United States property at the North Branch turning basin should be rebuilt. The controlling depth from the west end of the lock near the mouth of the Chicago River to the RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 2263 Michigan Avenue Bridge is 16.5 feet. Depths are based on sound- ings taken in September, 1946, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June, 1948 was 2.34 feet above datum. The total cost to June 30, 1948, was $5,316,955.34, of which $3,409,844.22 was for new work and $1,907,111.12 for main- tenance. The total expenditures were $5,317,236.49. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $4,009.19, plus accounts receivable of $281.15, plus an allotment of $64,000 made in July, 1948, a total of $68,290.34, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1949_ ------------------------------------ $4,500.00 Repair concrete superstructure of the United States north pier, by contract, October 1948--------- -------------- ----- 30,000.00 Remove 700 lineal feet of fence and rebuild on United States property at North Branch turning basin, by contract, Novem- ber 1948_--- - -------------------------------- 3,500.00 Riprapping and repairing breakwaters, by contract, September 1948------------ --------------------------------- 30,290.34 Total ---------------------------------------- --- 68,290.34 The additional sum of $608,500 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1950 as follows: Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and the removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1950__ - __--_- - _ -- $4,500 Repairing the timber superstructure of the shore-arm extension breakwater with concrete by contract, July 1949 to June 1950 _. 594,000 Dredging to restore the project depth of 21 feet in the outer harbor channel and in the entrance channel to Rush St., by contract, April 1, 1950_ - -- _____10,000 ----.-- .-..- ----------- Total-- . . ..------------------------------ . ___.__ __ . . 608,500 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948- ---------..---... - $3,855,849.22 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948.----------------------- 1,907,111.12 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948-.. ...... 5,762,960.34 Plus accounts receivable, June 30, 1948..............------------.... 281.15 Gross total costs to June 30, 1948, 5,763,241.49 Net total expenditures --. .. ---.. --.-- - - 5,763,241.49 Unexpended balance, June 30, 1948-------------------- ----- 4,009.19 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1948------------ 5,767,250.68 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 Cost of new work.. . . . . .. .- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .

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 Iarbor 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 pro.tect.-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 allow- ance for hydraulic grade resulting from the drainage canal. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948, is $581,100, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1946) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $35,000.

The above requirement has not been complied with. Termirtal 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 indus- tries. They are more than adequate in extent for existing com- merce. Except for the State of Illinois barge terminal and elevator at Damen Avenue on the South Branch (mentioned in terminal facilities on the Illinois River), and the frontage along Wacker Drive, owned by the city, there are no publicly owned docks, wharves, or other terminal facilities on the main river or its branches. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous sur- veys were conducted by hired labor at a total cost of $3,756.16, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $3,566.74. 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, 16.5 feet; in the North Branch, 16.7 feet; and in the North Branch Canal, 16.2 feet. Depths in the turning basin are generally 15 or more feet. Depths are based upon soundings taken in September and October, 1946, and are referred to low-water datum. Based on soundings completed in 1941, the controlling depths from the North Branch turning basin to Belmont Avenue is 6.4 feet and from Bel- mont Avenue to Addison Street, 7.0 feet. The mean water level in June, 1948, was 2.34 feet above datum. The heads of navigation for deep-draft vessels are Belmont Avenue on the North Branch, and Leavitt Street on the West Fork of the South Branch, 5.97 and 5.52 miles, respectively, from the Michigan Avenue Bridge. The head of navigation for barge traffic is near Touhy Avenue on the North Shore Channel, about 11 miles from the Michigan Avenue Bridge. 2266 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 The total cost to June 30, 1948, was $1,555,957.76, of which $544,678.70 was for new work and $1,011,279.06 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,555,768.34. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $433.26, plus the sum of $4,000 allotted in July, 1948, a total of $4,433.26, will be applied to accounts payable of $189.42, and to sounding, sweeping and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, in fiscal year 1949.

CALUMET HARBOR AND RIVER, ILL. AND IND. Location.-NortheasternIllinois (Cook County), near the south- ern end of Lake Michigan, 121/2 miles south of Chicago Harbor, and known on the Great Lakes as South Chicago Harbor, it being in the southerly part of and within the corporate limits of the city of Chicago, except for a part of the breakwaters and of the anchor- age behind same, which are in Indiana. The Calumet River is within the Chicago city limits. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 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 modi- fied August 11, 1888. Work was continued under these projects until 1896. The original project for Calumet River was adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884, and modified August 5, 1886. For further details, see page 1943 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1515 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following work: (a) For an outer harbor protected by a breakwater extending eastward from the shore about 4,400 feet and thence southeasterly about 8,100 feet to the harbor entrance. (b) For an approach channel 3,200 feet wide and 28 feet deep through the shoals outside the breakwater. (c) For an outer harbor channel and anchorage area 3,000 feet wide and 26 feet deep. (d) For an entrance channel to the river 350 feet wide and 26 feet deep to the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway bridge. (e) For a channel in Calumet River of 200-foot minimum width, 25 feet deep to the Semet-Solvay wharf near One Hundred and Eleventh Street, thence 23 feet deep through the rock section to near One Hundred and Fourteenth Street, thence 21 feet deep to One Hundred and Twenty-second Street, and thence 21.5 feet deep to and including turning basin No. 5. (f) For widening and straightening the river channel, except through the rock cut, to within 20 feet of bulkhead lines now or hereafter established. (g) For five turning basins spaced along the river channel, of suitable size for turning the largest lake cargo vessels and each of the same depth as the adjacent channel. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Fluctuations in stage of the river are practically those resulting from changes of water level in Lake Michigan. On Lake Michigan seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and tem- porary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in barometric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948, is $10,694,- 000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The 804711----48- vol. 2-----49 2268 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-The act of March 3, 1905, required as a con- dition precedent to Federal expenditures upon any one of the five turning basins the donation to the United States of the land neces- sary for that turning basin and have either provided any necessary bulkheads or have released the United States from all damage to adjacent lands by reason of the excavation. As a result the land needed for turning basins 1, 3, and 5 has been conveyed to the United States. The total area thus conveyed is 17.85 acres, and the value of the land at the time of its conveyance was approxi- mately $35,700. The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the widening of the channel at any locality or the future excavation of a turning basin shall not be commenced until local interests have furnished, free of cost to the United States, the lands or easements necessary for such widening or excavation and have either provided any neces- sary bulkheads, or have released the United States from all dam- ages to adjacent lands by reason of the excavation. The Republic Steel 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 constructed a bulkhead along the channel side of the original basin 3, and reclaimed the area to provide land for plant expansion. The corporation has also built a bulkhead along two portions of the east side of the river between a point opposite the Semet-Solvay slip and the new turning basin 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 in- terests donated the necessary land for the widening. RIVERS ANDL) IIARBORS-CIIICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 2269 Terminal facilities.-All terminal facilities on the lake front and in the entrance channel up to the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Rail- way 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 wharf- age facing on the entrance channel. These terminals are fully equipped and are considered adequate for existing commerce. Ad- ditional dockage exists on the lake front and along the entrance channel, but for various reasons it is not now suitable for terminal uses. Between the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway bridge and The Forks there are about 50,500 feet of wharfage, including 14 slips and drydocks, of which about 31,300 feet are in use. These wharves are owned and operated by various private and industrial concerns handling ore, coal, grain, lumber, etc. About 3,600 feet are in use for shipbuilding purposes. The ore, grain, and coal wharves are fully equipped and are considered adequate for exist- ing commerce. There are no public wharves on the Calumet River. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Plans and specifications for closing the entrance gap and dredging in approach channel to the harbor were continued, by hired labor, at a cost of $831.89. Core borings in the approach channel and at the entrance gap between the breakwaters were completed, by contract, at a cost of $5,565.85. The total cost of new work for the fiscal year was $6,397.74. Maintenance: Miscellaneous surveys were conducted by hired labor at a cost of $7,767.16. Preliminary work for dredging river and entrance channel was completed by hired labor, at a cost of $362.32. Dredging the river and in the entrance channel was com- pleted, by contract, at a cost of $152,723.43. A total of 179,522 cubic yards of material was removed. The total cost of main- tenance for the fiscal year was $160,852.91. The total cost, all work, was $167,250.65. The total expenditures were $175,670.28. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 59 per- cent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of 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 break- water (6,712 feet, completed in 1904; concrete superstructure com- pleted in 1924) is in good condition, except that some riprap is required. The cellular type steel-sheet pile breakwater (5,007 feet, completed in 1935) is in good condition. Under permit from the Secretary of War, the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. and its predecessors have removed all of 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 2270 REPORTT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 adjoining the new bulkhead except along the rock section, where the widening was done by the corporation. Depths in the outer harbor vary from 16 to 26 feet. Controlling depth in the entrance channel is 23.3 feet. The controlling depth in the river is 15.2 feet, up to and including turning basin 5. Depths are based on sound- ings taken in October, 1947 and May, 1948, and are referred to low- water datum. The mean water level in June, 1948 was 2.34 feet above datum.

LAKE CALUMET, ILL. Location.-Northeastern Illinois (Cook County), within the southeasterly limits of the city of Chicago, just west of and con- nected by a short channel with turning basin 5, the landward limit of the project known as Calumet Harbor and River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 755.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging areas A and B in the south end of Lake Calumet, including an entrance channel 300 feet in width from turning basin 5, to a depth of 21 feet. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Fluctuations in stage of the lake are practically those resulting from changes of water level in Lake Michigan. On Lake Michigan seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and tempo- rary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in barometric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1933, was $460,500. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of main- tenance is $22,400. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H.'Doc. 180, 73d Cong., 2d sess.) The latest published map of the Illinois Waterway is in House Docu- ment 145, Seventy-sixth Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities. There are no facilities at the present time. The proposed terminal development will have adequate facilities for operation of a satisfactory lake-river transfer terminal. Operations and, results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous sur- veys were conducted by hired labor at a cost of $500, all mainte- nance. The total expenditures were $500. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. 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, 1948 was 2.34 feet above datum. Except in the dredged area, depths in the lake vary from 1 to about 10 feet, but in general are so shallow that no navi- gation is possible in the undredged portion except by very light- draft vessels. The total cost of the work to June 30, 1948, was $409,861.57, of which $405,011.57 was for new work and $4,850 for mainte- nance. The total expenditures were $409,861.57. RIVERS AND IIARBOIRS-CIIICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 2273 Proposed operations.-An allotment of $3,500 made in July, 1948 will be applied to sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstruc- tions, by hired labor.

River has not as yet been completed by local interests or accepted for maintenance by the United States. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and tem- porary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in barometric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948, is $4,248,750, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $212,000.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL.,, DISTRICT 2275 Local cooperation.-The act of August 26, 1937, provides that the enlargement of the Indiana Harbor Canal shall not be under- taken until local interests have furnished a right-of-way 300 feet wide and have constructed substantial bulkheads along the channel on the established lines shown on the map accompanying Rivers and Harbors Committee Document 13, Seventy-fifth Congress, first session, provided that the improvement on one side may proceed in any section on fulfillment of the conditions for that side of the section, and provided further, that south of the turning basin at The Forks (beginning 450 feet south of the intersection of the present Calumet Branch and main-stem bulkhead lines) widening and deepening by the United States shall be done only as the rights- of-way and bulkheads on at least one side of the channel are con- tinuously provided southward from the above limit of the turning basin at The Forks. To provide for the 300-foot channel, a parcel of land (of about 4.6 acres), generally 100 feet wide, lying on the east side of the Calumet River Branch, commencing at the north side of One Hundred and Forty-first Street and extending north- ward toward The Forks for a distance of about 2,107 feet, has been conveyed to and accepted by the United States. Local interests have also constructed about 1,350 feet of bulkhead along the east side of the Calumet River Branch, and have reconstructed the bulk- head on the west side from The Forks to One Hundred and Forty- first Street. The Defense Plant Corporation has built a bulkhead along the east side of the canal between the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.'s bridge and Dickey Place Bridge; the United States has widened and deepened the east side of this portion of the 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 sur- veys were conducted by hired labor at a cost of $4,135.06. Pre- liminary work for dredging in the Indiana Harbor Canal was com- pleted by hired labor at a cost of $652.11; and for dredging in the Calumet River Branch, $323.61. A total of 250,437 cubic yards of material were removed from the Indiana Harbor Canal at a cost of $182,927.25; and 50,000 cubic yards from the Calumet River Branch, $49,494.62; both by contract. The total cost for the fiscal year was $237,532.65, all maintenance. The total expen- ditures were $234,891.65. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 84 per- cent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of widening the main stem of the Indiana Harbor Canal to a bottom width of 260 feet, with a depth of 22 feet from the outer harbor to the Forks, complete widening of the 2276 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Calumet River Branch from the Forks to One Hundred and Forty- first Street to the same width and depth, and complete deepening and widening to full project dimensions of the upper 3,400 feet of the Lake George Branch. The north breakwater (rubble mound, 2,520 feet, completed in 1922) is in good condition except that some riprap is required. The east breakwater (concrete caisson, 1,507 feet, completed in 1926) and northerly extension (rubble mound, 2,324 feet, completed in 1935) are in good condition except that some riprap is required. Under a permit from the Department, the Defense Plant Corporation has constructed a bulkhead on the east side of the canal between the Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge and Dickey Place Bridge, and the United States has widened and deepened the channel adjoining this bulkhead. The controlling depths are as follows: 30 to 26 feet in the entrance channel parallel to the rubble mound breakwater and 25 feet in the outer harbor; 21.0 feet between the bulkheads of the steel companies to the five bridges; 12.9 feet from the five bridges to the turning basin at the Forks; 18.7 feet in the turning basin at the Forks; depths in the turning basin east of Canal Street vary from 20.2 feet at the basin entrance to 11 feet at a point 80 feet from the south side of the basin; 18.8 feet from the turning basin to the One Hundred and Forty-first Street Bridge; and 16.2 feet from the turning basin to 1,000 feet above the Indianapolis Boulevard Bridge, on the Lake George Branch. Depths in the outer entrance channel and harbor are based upon soundings taken in 1936 and 1940, respec- tively. Depths in the channel between the steel companies and the remainder of the canal are based upon soundings completed in June, 1948. Depths are referred to low-water datum. The mean level in June, 1948 was 2.34 feet above datum. The head of navi- gation for commercial vessels is at the Baltimore & Ohio Chicago Terminal Railroad Bridge on the Lake George Branch, about 3 miles from the outer harbor; and at a point about 2,200 feet from the Forks on the Calumet River Branch, about 2.5 miles from the outer harbor. The total cost to June 30, 1948, all funds, was $5,183,855.45, of which $3,565,810.96 were regular funds and $1,618,044.49 Public Works funds; $3,628,688.22 were for new work and $1,555,167.23 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $5,179,306.72 in- cluding $1,618,044.49 Public Works funds.

(Contains latest published map.) Local cooperation.--Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.--The terminal facilities at this harbor con- sist 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 sur- veys were conducted by hired labor at a total cost of $3,144.70. Preliminary work for dredging in harbor was completed by hired labor at a cost of $73.17. A total of 89,916 cubic yards of material was dredged from the harbor, by contract, at a cost of $87,250.07. Operations were initiated on April 15, 1948, and completed on May 22, 1948. The total cost for the fiscal year was $90,467.94, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $81,998.92. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in December 1936. Concrete superstructure, 1,304 feet, on the detached breakwater was completed in 1925, and on the entrance piers in 1931. All structures are in good condition, except for the landward end of the west pier where the capstones have disintegrated and should be replaced. Some riprap is re- quired on all structures. Under permit from the Secretary of War, the Northern Indiana Public Service Co. has removed 615 feet of the inner end of the west pier and about 719 feet of the bulk- head south of the pier, and has replaced them with a steel-sheet pile bulkhead located landward of the former dock line. The area chan- nelward 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 25.6 to 12.0 feet. Between the Franklin Street Bridge and the turning basin at the head of the project, the depths 2280 ItREPORT OF CH[IEF O ENGINIERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948' vary from 15.1 to 5.3 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 turning basin at the head of the project vary from 1 to 4 feet. 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 October, 1947 and June, 1948, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June, 1948 was 2.34 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 only sufficient for small launches. The total cost to June 30, 1948, was $2,444,381.22, of which $1,212,385.20 was for new work and $1,231,996.02 for mainte- nance. The total expenditures were $2,435,912.20. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $8,501.08, plus accounts receivable of $33.03, together with an allotment of $39,500 made in July, 1948, a total of. $48,034.11, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1948_--_______ __ __________--__ $8,502.05 Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscal year 1949 _ 2,500.00 Riprapping and repairing breakwater, by contract, November 1948--- ------------------------------------------ 37,032.06 Total---------------------- -- ------------------- 48,034.11 The additional sum of $75,500 can be profitably expended in the fiscal year 1950 as follows: Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and removal of obstructions, by hired labor, fiscalyear 1950---------------------------------------- $2,500 Dredging to restore project depth of 18 feet in Trail Creek up to and including turning basin No. 2, by contract, July 1949 _ _ 38,000 Riprapping and repairing of west pier, by contract, August 1949. 35,000 Total---------------------------------------------- 75,500 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948 ___----_______--$1,499,774.17 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948----------------------- 1,231,996.02 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948------- 2,731,770.19 Plus accounts receivable, June 30, 1948---------------------- 33.03 Gross total costs to June 30, 1948 --------------------- 2,731.803.22 Minus accounts payable, June 30, 1948---------------------- 8,502.05 Net total expenditures ----------------------------- 2,723,301.17 Unexpended balance, June 30, 1948___ _------_----- - 8,501.08 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1948------------ 2,731,802.25 RIVERS AND IIARBORS-CIIICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 2281 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1944 1.945 1946 1947 1948 Cost of new work ... . - .... -- _....

RIVERS AND IARBORS-CIIICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 2287 Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, modified the existing project subject to the condition that the State of Illinois transfer to the United States without cost all rights and titles in the two State-owned dams on the Illinois River, and that local interests furnish the United States without cost all necessary areas for the disposal of materials dredged in creating and maintaining the channel authorized (S. Doc. 130, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). By deed dated March 28, 1928, the State of Illinois transferred these locks and dams to the United States. Permission has been granted by many riparian landowners for use of their lands for the disposal of 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, sub- ject to the supervision and approval of all expenditures and obli- gations by the Secretary of the Army, to construct the highway bridges at Brandon Road and Marseilles Canal, to make the neces- sary alterations in other highway bridges across the Illinois water- way, to make the necessary arrangements and agreements for the alterations of the railroad bridges across said waterway, and to do such other work on said waterway as the Secretary of the Army 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 because of any contractual obligations which have been or may be entered into by the State of Illinois as regards the construc- tion 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 construc- tion of a waterway providing minimum 8-foot depths in channels not less than 150 feet wide from the upper end of the Federal project on the Illinois River to Lockport. The lock and dam at Starved Rock was about 95 percent complete, the Marseilles lock was about 95 percent, the Marseilles Canal 98 percent, Dresden Island lock and dam about 20 percent, Brandon Road lock and dam about 70 percent, and the Lockport lock about 95 percent complete before the passage of the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930. The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, as modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938, provides that,local interests furnish to the United States, free of cost, all necessary land to effect the improvements recommended in House Document 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 the Army. All requirements have been met except for the installation of operating machinery in the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Bridge at Lemont, Ill. 2288 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 local interests furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements and rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas neces- sary for the new work and for subsequent maintenance when and as required, including 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 rail- road bridges; and agree to remove at their own expense or satis- factorily alter the highway bridges across Des Plaines River at McDonough and Cass Streets (Joliet) and across the Chicago Sani- tary and Ship Canal at Sixteenth Street (Lockport), 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 the Army, constitute unreason- able obstructions to navigation; construct all necessary new high- way, 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 sep- arate units when considered advisable by the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Engineers after local interests have pro- vided, or furnished assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army 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 construc- tion of the breakwater and furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army 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 construction 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. Assurances of local cooperation were approved by the Assistant Secretary of the Army on November 21, 1947. All requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-Of the 13 principal cities and towns along the Illinois River, about 5 own dock frontage, more or less im- proved for boat landings; 4 own dock frontage with no improve- ments; and 4 own no frontage except at street ends.

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. 2318 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 measured 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 baro- metric pressure, such changes frequently amounting to several inches and sometimes to a foot or more. In addition to these changes in level occasionally a considerable oscillation takes place within 2 or 3 hours which is somewhat in the nature of a seiche; such changes amounting to over 5 feet have been known to occur within 3 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948, is $90,117,- 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, RIVERS AND tIIARBORS--DETROIT, MICII., DISTRICT 2319 provided for the deepening and enlargement of the tailrace of the United States power plant between the powerhouse and deep water at the foot of the rapids, a distance of about 2,250 feet, estimated cost $150,000, and authorized the diversion for this purpose of so much as might be necessary of the unexpended balance of appro- priations for the Davis lock. Removal of Bridge Island: The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, provided for the removal of Bridge Island and structures thereon to secure a depth of 27 feet at low water at an estimated cost of $850,000 for new work with no increase in the annual cost of operation and maintenance, and in connection therewith that- (a) The owners of the International Bridge be required to pro- vide a lift span in place of the existing swing span over the South Canal upon request made by the Secretary of the Army and in accordance with plans, specifications, and conditions approved by the Chief of Engineers. (b) The United States participate in the cost of the bridge change by payment to the owners of a percentage of the actual cost of the alteration, such percentage to be adjusted by the Chief of Engineers between 77.5 percent if a span for Cooper's E-50 loading is constructed and 84 percent if a span for E-35 loading is con- structed. On the basis of 1944 price levels the amount of the United States participation is estimated to be $562,000. New hydroelectric power plant: The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, provided for the construction of a new hydroelectric power plant in accordance with the plan recommended in House Document 339, Seventy-seventh Congress; provided: (a) That only the first step of the recommended development involving an installation of approximately 14,000 kilowatts at an estimated cost (1940) of $3,500,000, shall be constructed at this time, and no further development in addition to said first step shall be underaken 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 the Army, and any sur- plus 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 Secretary of the Army upon such terms and condi- tions as he shall determine; (d) That pending construction of the new United States plant the Secretary of the Army may enter into such arrangements for continued operation of the existing Government plant and the use of water as he may deem advisable in the public interest. With reference to the project modifications for the removal of Bridge Island and the construction of the new hydroelectric power plant, the authorizing act of March 2, 1945, contained the general provision that no project therein authorized "shall be appropriated for or constructed until 6 months after the termination of the present wars in which the United States is engaged unless the con- struction of such project has been recommended by an authorized defense agency and approved by the President as being necessary 2320 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 or desirable in the interest of the national defense and security, and the President has notified the Congress to that effect." This limiting provision was removed by Public Law No. 300, dated February 18, 1946, and funds for the two project modifications were appropriated by the act approved May 2, 1946. The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, approved the modification of the existing project for the Great Lakes con- necting waters, principal harbors and river channels in accordance with the report of the Chief of Engineers dated February 20, 1946, to provide for a new Poe lock with related work and anchorage improvements in St. Marys River in general accordance with the following descriptions: (a) That the Poe lock at St. Marys Falls Canal be replaced with a new structure 800 feet long, 100 feet wide, and 32 feet deep, with necessary 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.

S. ARMY, 1948 The project depths are referred to local low-water datums which correspond to low-water datums for Lake Huron and St. Clair, which are 578.5 and 573.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The water level of this river fluctuates with the levels of the lakes above and below it, which during the course of each year are subject to a consistent seasonal rise and fall, the lowest stages prevailing dur- ing the winter months and the highest during the summer months. At the head of St. Clair River, as measured by monthly mean levels, the water may rise and fall each year during the navigation season as much as 1.3 feet. During the past 37 navigation seasons the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels has been about 4.9 feet. Occasional fluctuations due to winds of high velocity may be as much as 3.5 feet in 6 hours. The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, approved the modification of the project to provide for widening and deepening the Southeast Bend and improvement of the outlet of the North Channel, St. Clair River, in general accordance with the following descriptions: (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 navigation; (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. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance of dredged channels is $64,900, including $1,500 for mainte- nance in the outlet to North Channel. No expense or mainte- nance will probably be required for submerged sills.

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 fiscal year.-Surveys were made over the shoal at the mouth of the Black River, St. Clair Middle Ground down-bound channel, shoal at Woodtick Island, Stag RIVERS AND IIARBOIRS-DETROIT, MICII., DISTRICT 2329 Island down-bound channel, and other miscellaneous areas at a cost of $15,016.56. The replacement and repair to the control sys- tems and an investigation of the possible effects on water levels of the St. Clair River by commercial sand and gravel dredging were made at a cost of $4,125.18. Prior to maintenance dredging sound- ing surveys in the Stag Island up-bound channel, and at the Head of Russell Island, were made during July, 1947 at a cost of $3,- 624.03. The U. S. hopper dredge Burton (1), removed shoals in the Stag Island up-bound channel, 19,738 cubic yards, bin measure, being removed during the period July 27 to July 31, 1947; (2) removed shoals at the head of Russell Island, 49,239 cubic yards, bin measure, being removed during the period August 1 to August 10, 1947 and (3) removed shoals in the channel at the Foot of Lake Huron, 12,984 cubic yards, bin measure, being removed during the period August 25 to August 29, 1947, at a cost of $35,902.96. Costs during the year were $58,668.73, all for maintenance. Total ex- penditures were $55,489.42. 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.

CHANNELS IN LAKE ST. CLAIR, MICH. Location.--Lake St. Clair is smallest of the Great Lakes. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 42.) Previous projects.-Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852, March 2, 1867, and March 3, 1878. For further details see page 2882, Annual Report for 1896, and pages 1957- 1958, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1539, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 700 feet wide and 25 feet deep from the mouth of the south channel of the St. Clair River to the open channel in Lake St. Clair, thence increasing to 800 feet width for the same depth in a length of about 2 miles and maintaining such channel dimensions across Lake St. Clair to head of Detroit River; and for the construction of a stone-riprapped earth dike, 7,221 feet long, on the east side of the mouth of the south channel of St. Clair River. The project depth is referred to low-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 37 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 existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 804711-----48-vol. 2-53 2332 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

For further details see page 1958 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1541 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing projects.-This provides for a two-way channel 25 feet deep and 800 feet wide through shoals at head of river, 26 feet deep and 800 feet wide through Fighting Island Channel, and 26 feet deep and 600 feet wide through Ballards Reef north of junction With Livingstone Channel; for a down-bound channel, known as Livingstone Channel, west of Bois Blanc Island, 26 feet deep and at least 450 feet wide from its upper end to opposite Bar Point; thence 26 feet deep and 800 feet wide to lower junction with Am- herstburg Channel, thence 26 feet deep and 1,200 feet wide to the 26 -foot contour in Lake Erie, passing to the east of Detroit River 2334 REPORT OF'CIIIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Lighthouse, the lower section, 1,200 feet wide, being used for both up- and down-bound traffic; for an up-bound channel known as the Amherstburg Channel, at least 600 feet wide with a depth of 21 feet in the easterly 300-foot width and a depth of 27 feet in the westerly 300-foot width, from the lower junction with Livingstone Channel, passing on the east side of Bois Blanc Island to the head of Livingstone Channel; for an auxiliary down-bound channel, 22 feet deep and 800 feet wide, passing to the west of Detroit River Light; for a dike on the west bank of the rock cut through Living- stone Channel to ameliorate cross currents; for a compensating waste bank between Livingstone and Amherstburg Channels at their north junction; for improving channels to Wyandotte by re- moving shoal at head of Grosse Isle and by dredging through the Middle Ground opposite the head of Fighting Island; for improving Trenton Channel (west of Grosse Isle), 21 feet deep and 250 feet wide, extending from deep water near the head of the island to a point 1,700 feet below the lower Grosse Isle Bridge, ending in a turning basin of the same depth'and 17 acres in area and for im- proving the American Channel passing north of Belle Isle from deep water near Windmill Point to a point opposite Fairview Slip, to a depth of 21 feet and a width of 200 feet. The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, approved the modification of the project to provide for deepening the westerly 300 feet of Amerstburg Channel and Ballards Reef Channel below Livingstone Channel to 27 feet to provide depths adequate for 24- foot draft navigation, when the governing lakes are at datum, with necessary widening at approaches and bends and construction of necessary compensating works, Detroit River.

The project depths are referred to local low-water datum planes which correspond to low-water datum for Lakes St. Clair and Erie RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2335 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 85 years the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels during the navigation season has been about 5 feet. Occasional fluctuations in depths of several feet, produced by high easterly or westerly winds, respectively, raise or lower the water level at the west end of Lake Erie, and similarly affect the level of the lower Detroit River; such changes have been as much as 6 feet within 8 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $39,736,200. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $101,000.

Terminal facilities.-Within the limits of the port of Detroit are more than 8.4 linear miles of docks fronting on the river, and the appliances for handling freight are adequate, except for the chan- nel west of Grosse Isle. A number of docks are owned by railroads and large manufacturing corporations over which no freight is received except for their own use. Other docks are owned by steamship lines, where preference is given to their own vessels. There are, however, still other docks that are open to the use of all vessels upon equal terms including two with terminal ware- houses. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Jet prob- ings were made in the westerly half of the Hackett Range reach of Amherstburg Channel to determine the elevation at which ledge rock will be encountered in dredging to project depth of 27 feet. Information and data for the definite project report were collected. 2336 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 The costs were $1,937.44. Maintenance: The U. S. derrick boat Erie removed obstructions in the Amherstburg Channel to restore project depths, 631 cubic yards, scow measure, of material being removed in cleaning up 7,826 square yards of channel to a depth of 21 feet. Total cost of derrick-boat clean-up was $46,118.81. Examination of the im- proved channels by sweeping and/or sounding was performed dur- ing the fiscal year at a cost of $26,239.70. The U. S. hopper dredge Burton removed shoals in the lower section of the Livingstone Channel, 20,182 cubic yards, bin measure, being removed during the period August 11 to August 19, 1947, at a cost of $14,257.73. Engineering surveys, investigations of strikings and groundings and repairs to the control system were made at a cost of $2,366.38. The costs during the fiscal year were $1,937.44 for new work and $88,982.62 for maintenance, a total of $90,920.06. The total expenditures were $77,597.31. 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 and the Ballards Reef Channel (south of its junction with the Livingstone 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. The Sugar Island com- pensating dike shows signs of erosion and weathering.

CHEBOYGAN HARBOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located on the lower reach of the Cheboygan River and is about 100 miles distant from Alpena, Mich., in a northwesterly direction. The river, which is 51/2 miles long, has its source in Mullet Lake, from which it flows in a north- erly direction, emptying into the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Huron. The improved portion is about 11/ miles in length. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Previous projects.-The original project was authorized by the RIVERS AND HARBORS----DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2339 River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details of previous proj- ects, see page 1956 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1546 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 181/2 feet deep and 200 feet wide from the Straits of Mackinac to the outer end of the west pier, and between lines parallel to and 25 feet from the docks from that point to the State Road Bridge, and thence 81/2 feet deep and 60 feet wide from this bridge to the lock in the Cheboygan River, and for a turning basin 15 feet deep, 400 feet wide, and 420 to 670 feet long on the east side of the existing project channel just below First Street. The length of the section included in the project is 11,720 feet, of which 6,000 feet are in the straits. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each Year the level of the river rises and falls about 3 feet. From day to day the level changes somewhat, due to wind and barometric pressure, such changes sometimes amounting to a foot or more. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1937, was $122,- 800, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $11,500. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 3, 1896 182-foot channel--.....................................

Terminal facilities.-The harbor has one dock of about 1,000 feet length, which is privately owned but open to all vessel' upon equal terms. There are also several other docks of less than 100 feet length which are privately owned and used. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A sounding survey from the State Street Bridge to deep water in the Straits of Mackinac, including the turning basin was made during the period April 14 to April 22, 1948, at a cost and expenditure of $1,183, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. The outer end of the old slab pier on the west side of the entrance was riprapped in 1921. The sounding survey of April, 1948 indicated that project depths of 18.5 feet are available over the full channel from the State Street Bridge to the Straits of Mackinac, except a small shoal along the west channel line near the outer end of the west pier having a depth of 16.5 feet. Project depth of 16 feet is available in the turning basin. Above the State Street Bridge a controlling depth of 5.5 feet, as indicated by an 2340 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 examination made in 1936, is available to the upper limit of the improvement about 8,500 feet above the mouth of the river. Light- draft boats navigate a further distance of 30 miles in a waterway improved by local interests under a State law. The costs and expenditures have been $112,681.82 for new work and $91,840.13 for maintenance, a total of $204,521.95. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is proposed during the fiscal year 1949. The sum of $2,500 can be profitfiably expended for surveys during the fiscal year 1950.

SAGINAW RIVER, MICH. Location.-This river is formed by the union of the Tittaba- wassee 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%1/ 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 80471 1-----48-vol. 2-54 2348 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINE ERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 and falls about 3 feet. Spring freshets and excessive rains have caused an abnormal rise of as much as 14 feet at Saginaw. Occa- sionally a considerable change takes place within few hours, result- ing 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.

Terminal facilities.-Generalutility 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 Chevro- let Motor Co. operates an industrial dock about 600 feet long and the Saginaw Dock & Terminal Co. operates a private dock about 900 feet long at Saginaw, and the Consumers Power Co. owns and operates a dock about 1,100 feet long at Zilwaukee. Turning basins have been constructed by the owners opposite the latter two docks. These terminal facilities are adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredges Burton and Savannah operated over the bay section dur- ing the periods July 1 to July 31, 1947 and May 12 to June 6, 1948, respectively, removing material in the amount of 102,133 cubic yards, bin measure, at a total cost of $61,490.75. A prior to main- tenance dredging survey for hopper dredging was made during May, 1948 at a cost of $2,724.15. A sounding survey was made over the bay section and the river section between the Court Street and Sixth Street Bridges at Saginaw prior to maintenance dredg- ing by contract during May and June, 1948, at a cost of $25,765.19. Maintenance and repairs to the control system were made at a cost of $5,706.07.. Preliminary work has been done in the prepara- tion of plans and specifications for maintenance dredging by con- tract during fiscal year 1949 at a cost of $495.15. The costs were $96,181.31 for maintenance, and the total ex- penditures were $62,991.98. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in April, 1942. A sounding survey in September, 1945 indicated that project depth of 20 feet is available between the D. & M. Railroad Bridge at Bay City, Mich., and the Sixth Street RIVERS AND IIARBORS---DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 2349 Bridge in Saginaw, Mich. 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 with depths of about 14 feet available. A sounding survey of the bay section made in June, 1948 indicated that project depth of 21 feet was avail- able over the center 75 feet of the channel only. Shoaling in the above sections is scheduled for removal by contract.

PORT AUSTIN HABOR, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located on the west shore of Lake Huron at the extreme eastern limit of Saginaw Bay, about 29 miles across the bay from the mouth of the Au Sable River (Oscoda). (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Existing project.-This provides for a harbor of refuge at the mouth of Bird Creek, consisting of a harbor basin dredged to a depth of 10 feet protected by breakwater structures and for dredg- ing an entrance channel to the harbor basin to a depth of 12 feet. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1948, is $850,800, excluding $172,100 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1945) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $750. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945. For latest published map see House Document 446, Seventy-eighth Congress, second session. Local cooperation.-The improvement authorized by the act of March 2, 1945, is subject to the condition that responsible local agencies give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will- (1) Contribute $172,100 in cash toward the first cost of protec- tive structures and dredging. (2) Provide and maintain, without cost to the United States, and in accordance with plans approved by the Chief of Engineers, a suitable and adequate public wharf for the accommodation of transient vessels. (3) Establish a competent and properly constituted public body empowered to regulate the use, growth, and free development of harbor facilities, with the understanding that harbor facilities shall be open to all on equal and reasonable terms. (4) Hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of the works. (5) Provide, without cost to the United States all lands, ease- RIVERS AND IIARIORS--DETROIT, MICHI., DISTRICT1 2351 ments, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project, including suitable spoil disposal areas when and as required. It is further provided that no work shall be done by the United States at this harbor until similar prescribed requirements for local cooperation at Port Sanilac, Mich., have also been complied with. These assurances were furnished by the Michigan State Water- Ways Commission and were approved by the Assistant Secretary of the Army on March 22, 1948. Terminal facilities.-There are no terminal facilities at Port Austin. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work on this project has been undertaken to date. An advance draft of the definite project report was submitted during fiscal year 1947. Total costs and expenditures have been $3,053.84, all for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, amounting to $446.16, will be applied to the prepara- tion of the definite project report.

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 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 sur- face in Lake Huron varies from year to year. During each year the level is subject to a seasonal rise and fall, the lowest stages prevailing during winter and the highest during summer months. Such yearly changes, measured by monthly mean levels, may be as much as 1.8 feet. During the past 33 navigation seasons the dif- ference between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels during the navigation season has been about 4.9 feet. Occasional fluctua- tions 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 mainte- nance is $10,000. The existing project was adopted by the follow- ing river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized I)ocuments Mar. 3, 1871 Adopted the site and made provision for the harbor..

(Contains latest published map.., 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 duribng fiscal year.-No work was per- formed or funds expended during the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1928. The work consisted in the construction of three breakwaters, the dredging of an entrance channel, and the dredg- ing of an anchorage area about 72 acres in extent under the pro- tection of the breakwaters. The breakwaters were originally built in 1885, and since that time it has been necessary to top them with concrete and to protect about 6,170 feet of the outer face with heavy riprap. The north entrance was closed by rubble mound in 1920 and reopened to about 10 feet depth in 1928. Dredging was completed in 1922. The harbor has controlling depths of 20.5 feet at its entrance RIVERS AND IIARBORS---DETROIT, MICII., DISTRICT 2353 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.-An allotment of $25,000 made in July, 1948 will be expended for the replacement by hired labor of ap- proximately 4,500 linear feet of timber fendering on the main breakwater. No work is proposed during the fiscal year 1950.

These assurances were furnished by the Michigan State Water- ways Commission and were approved by the Assistant Secretary of the Army on March 22, 1948. Terminal facilities.-One small privately owned stone filled timber crib dock is used principally as a fishing terminal by the owner. A municipally owned, timber pier, extending about 400 4feet lakeward, is open to all vessels upon equal terms. About 200 feet of this pier will require removal under the present project. Terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work on this project has been undertaken to date. An advance draft of the definite project report was submitted during fiscal year 1947. Total costs and ex- penditures have been $3,153.84, all for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $496.16, will be applied to the prepara- tion of the definite project report.

BLACK RIVER, MICH. Location.-This river has its source in the northern part of Sanilac County, Mich., is about 60 miles long, and flows in a south- easterly direction into the St. Clair River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 43.) Previous projects.-Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, and August 11, 1888. For further details see page 1441 of Annual Report for 1916, and 1554 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 20 feet deep from deep water in St. Clair River to the Grand Trunk Western Rail- road bridge, 160 feet wide at the mouth, decreasing to 100 feet about 800 feet from the mouth, thence 100 feet wide for 2,600 feet, decreasing to 75 feet for a distance of 4,800 feet at upper end; Widening two bends to 100 feet, one at the foot of Twelfth Street, and the other below the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge; and for a settling basin 75 feet wide and 20 feet deep, beginning at the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge in Port Huron and extending upstream a distance of about 2,300 feet. 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 1948, exclusive of amounts expended on previous'projects, but including $140,000 to be contributed by local interests, is $334,500. The latest (1945) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $13,400. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 2356 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Local cooperation.-The improvement authorized by the Act of August 30, 1935, is subject to the requirement that local interests- (1) Contribute one-half of the initial cost of the improvement. (2) Provide all lands or easements necessary and requisite to the execution of the project. (3) Remove the existing Tenth Street Bridge, or replace it with a satisfactory structure. (4) Furnish satisfactory assurances that the United States will be protected from all claims for damages incident to the improve- ments. None of the above requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are docks on both sides of Black River, near its mouth, and between these docks and the upper limit of improvement there are five other docks varying in length from 100 to 500 feet. All docks are privately owned and are restricted to the use of the owners. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Burton removed scattered shoals between the mouth of the river and the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Bridge during the period July 22 to July 26, 1947, material in the amount of 7,609 cubic yards, bin measure, being excavated at a cost of $6,526.23. A sounding survey over the entire project, including repairs to the control system was made during 1948 at a cost of $1,358.88. Pre- liminary work prior to dredging from Grand Trunk Railroad Bridge to upper limit of improvement, including preparation of plans and specifications, performed during May and June, 1948 at a cost of $928.19. The costs were $8,813.30, and expenditures were $8,595.57, 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: 17 feet is available over the project from the mouth of the river to the Grand Trunk West- ern Railroad Bridge with the exception of scattered shoals along the channel banks having depths of 15-16 feet; above the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Bridge depths gradually decrease from 17 feet to about 8 feet at the upper limit of the project.

ROUGE RIVER, MICHI. 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, taper- ing to 200 feet in a distance of 2,000 feet, thence 200 feet to Maples Road, including a turning basin, 21 feet deep, near the upper end of the project. (b) A channel 25 feet deep from that depth in Detroit River through the mouth of the old channel upstream for a distance of 1,300 feet, with a width of 240 feet at the mouth, tapering to 100 feet at a distance of 800 feet from the mouth, thence 18 feet deep and 100 feet wide for a distance of 1,425 feet, thence 17 feet deep and 100 feet wide to the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad bridge, a distance of about 1,550 feet, thence 21 feet deep and 100 feet wide, flaring to 130 feet at the north end of the Peerless Portland Cement Co. wharf, thence 21 feet deep, with width flaring from 130 feet to 150 feet at the junction of the old channel with the Short Cut Canal, suitably widened at the bend opposite the Detroit Sulphite Pulp & Paper Co. plant. The distance from Detroit River to the head of the project at Maples Road is about 32 miles via the Short Cut Canal, and about 41 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 fluctu- ates to an average extent of about 1.5 feet during the navigation season. 'he estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948, is $1,091,200, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $90,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS ANI) IIAtllOtS---I)ETROIT, MICI., DISTRICT 235911 Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 11,1888 17-foot channel 1.. --------- Annual Rel)ort 1887; p. 2275.

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 Army, protecting the United States against all damages to adjacent lands and property which may result from dredging operations. Except for the guar- anties protecting the United States against damages to adjacent lands and property along the 25-foot channel, this requirement has not been complied with. All prior requirements fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There is an iron-ore dock near the river's mouth equipped with unloading machinery. The Ford Motor Co. has an ore and coal dock near the: head of the river improvement, with improved type of unloaders. Eight docks fully equipped, for 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 timber docks. There are also a number of smaller docks for launches. All docks along the river are privately owned and understood to be restricted to use of the owners. These facilities are considered adequate for exist- ing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Savannah operated over the entire project during the pe- riod July 1 to August 9, 1947, and removed material in the amount of 126,022 cubic yards, bin measure, at a cost of $42,485.01. The U. S.hopper dredge Savannah commenced dredging operations for the 1948 season on July 7, 1948, and removed material in the amount of 67,743 cubic yards, bin measure, at a cost of $24,426. A prior to maintenance dredging survey was made over the entire Project at a cost of $4,061.69. Maintenance and repairs to the control system were made at a cost of $1,305.29. The costs were $72,277.99, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $47,- 851.99. 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 2360 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 opera- tions were restricted to a distance of 1,150 feet upstream from the mouth of the old channel. All other work provided for in the act of August 30, 1935, relative to the improvement of the old channel, is held in abeyance until local interests have complied with the terms of local cooperation. The controlling depth in the 21-foot project is 21 feet for a minimum width of 125 feet over the center section of the Short Cut Canal and River to the turning basin with the exception of shoal areas along the channel banks, with depths of 20 feet gen- erally in the turning basin. The controlling depth in the old channel from its junction with the Short Cut Canal to the 2 5-foot section is 17 feet. The 25-foot section has project depths 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 im- provement.

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 extend- ing 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 ir- regularly, from year to year, the greatest annual fluctuation being about 2 , 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, excluding $300,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1930) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $35,000.

The Maumee River has its source in Northern In- diana and empties into Lake Erie. The harbor is located at the westerly end of Lake Erie, 99 miles westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 3.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866, June 14, 1880, July 5, 1884, August 5, 1886, July 13, 1892, and August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1959 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1565 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 25 feet deep and 500 feet wide from deep water in Lake Erie to the mouth of the Maumee River, with a width of 300 feet on each side of center dike in the bay channel; for a channel 25 feet deep in Maumee River to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad dock, 400 feet wide from the mouth of the river to the Fassett Street Bridge, and 200 feet wide above that point; for a turning basin at the upper end, 18 feet deep and 8.25 acres in area; and for a stone-revetted earth dike, 1,000 feet long, to form a foundation for range lights in Maumee Bay. The projects depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 4 feet above to 2 feet below 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 lates (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $220,000. and The existing project was adopted by the following river harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 Auxiliary channel above Fassett St. Bridge, and the dike.

ARMY, 1948 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. iFor 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 ex- cavated 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 Pe nnh, sylvania 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 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 fluctuations of water level are from 3 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 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 (1948) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $92,000. d The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized D)ocuments 2ses.

Local cooperation.-Dredging of 20-foot turning basin is sub- tect to the provision that local interests furnish without cost to the United States necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way and spoil disposal areas for new work and maintenance when and c.required, and hold and save the United States free from all laims for damages incident to the construction maintenance of the improvement. These conditionsand subsequent have not been Complied with. Prior conditions have been complied with. ~T erminal facilities.-One iron ore terminal, together with dock fDace for storage of sand, transshipment of lumber, etc., to or cars are open to the public. Extensive docks of the National mor Tbe Co. handle iron ore, limestone, pig iron, fuel oil, and sand, adare not open to the public. Two sand and three fish docks 2394 REPORT OF C11IEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 are privately owned. The American Shipbuilding Co. has drY- docks and facilities for building and repairing the largest lake vessels. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has a'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 re- garded as adequate for existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 8, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 299,334 cubic yards of material for the restoration of project depth in the outer harbor and river channel at a cost of $134,093.89 for maintenance. The expenditure was $120,792.90. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 99 percent complete. An outer harbor has been provided by con- structing breakwaters and pierheads completed in 1915, except the extension of the west breakwater to shore, which was con- pleted in 1921. A channel through the outer harbor to the entrance to Black River was deepened to 25 feet in 1937, also a channel 16 feet deep to the municipal pier was provided in 1936. Deepening the outer harbor was completed in 1946. The entrance to the river has been improved by the construction of parallel piers completed in 1909. Widening of two bends in the river was completed il 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 deepen- ing the turning basin immediately upstream from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad coal dock. The protection works are generally in poor condition.

The river entrance channel has been im- dPOved by the construction of parallel piers 325 feet apart and rdging to a depth of 25 feet at low-water datum up to the New an d kthe and Central Railroad dredging bridge. in 1935. The piers were completed in 1900 An outer harbor, about 1,300 acres in extent , has been formed by the construction of an aggregate length o about 30,000 feet of breakwater, including converging arms, fomopleted in 1915. The main entrance has been widened to 700 feet and protected by converging arms extending lakeward from he east and west breakwaters, completed in 1908. The outer th or was deepened, 1933 to 1935, to 25 feet at low-water datum throughout the west basin, in the entrance channel, and over a theron of the east basin adjacent to the entrance channel; over he remaining portion of the east.basin a depth of 23 feet at low- i er datum has generally been secured. Portions of the channel e Cuyahoga River were widened each year from 1939 to 1942. stuoval of 150 feet of easterly end of west breakwater and con- Weuction of 400 feet of spur breakwater to protect the gap in the bast breakwater shore arm were completed in 1935.

(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 fluc- tuations of water level are between 3 feet above and 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 4 feet above to 1 foot below low-water datunm. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948, is $4,540,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $88,000.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Local interests maintain the river channel to provide access to terminals in the river, comprising one coal terminal which is open to shippers of coal, one iron ore, one stone, and one steel-products terminal which are private. The city of Conneaut owns a terminal on the outer harbor which is open to the public. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 9, 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 103,701 cubic yards of material for the restoration of project depth in the outer harbor at a cost o~ $41,260.55 and made repairs to the west breakwater and replaced the east pier fender at a cost of $68,425.66. The total cost of RIVERS AND IIARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2413 maintenance for the year was $109,686.21. The total expenditure Was $109,449.41. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project is about 72 Percent complete. Under existing project, a length of 4,445 feet of the new west breakwater was completed in 1916; the old east breakwater, 1,050 feet long, was extended shoreward 800 feet (completed 1911) and lakeward 900 feet (completed 1923). The 1,670-foot shore arm to the west breakwater was completed in 1934. Extension of the west breakwater 830 feet lakeward, the east breakwater 925 feet lakeward, and removal of the lake arm of the west breakwater were completed in 1935; 642 feet of the Old west breakwater was removed in 1916 and the remaining 600 feet in 1925. Two piers have been constructed at the mouth of the Conneaut River. Removal of west pier and 459 feet of east lier was completed in 1934. The east pier is now 1,008 feet long. A channel through the outer harbor was dredged to 25 and 26 feet in 1938. The inner 1,200 feet of the west breakwater has settled approxi- mately 6 feet to an average elevation of 4 feet above low-water datum. The inner 750 feet was built up to its original elevation during 1941 to 1947. At several places along the remainder of e West breakwater and along the east breakwater the slope stone along the likeside is disintegrating and pulling away and the deck Stone is settling. Other harbor structures are generally in fair Condition. . The controlling depth in the channel through the outer harbor ts 25 feet below low-water datum. The work remaining to be done o complete the project is to deepen a 320-foot wide strip on the 2esterly side of the deepened channel through the outer harbor to ffeet 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 $3,955,766.38 of which ,270,446.92, including $1,010,500 Public Works funds, was for Uw work Was Woe and $685,319.46 for maintenance.

The total cost of maintenance for the year was $324,469.79 including $6,000 from contributed funds. The expenditure was $270,010.16 including $6,000 from contrib- uted funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 41 per- cent complete. The breakwater and piers were completed in 1915. A 3 ,050-foot section of rubble-mound protection work on the penin- Sula was completed in 1921, 5,281 feet of steel sheet piling pro- tection work with stone facing were compelted 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 construc- tion of 2,750 feet of stone protection work, just north of the Kelso groin, was completed in 1944. The 18-foot harbor basin was deep- ened in 1900. Widening and straightening of the entrance chan- nel Was completed in 1936. The deepening of the entrance channel and the approach channel to the easterly docks to 25 feet, except or small triangular areas along the southeasterly and south- Westerly limits of the approach channel, was completed in 1939. The 2 1-foot harbor basin was deepened in 1940. The harbor structures are generally in poor condition. In ap- Proximately 540 feet of the north pier the concrete has disinte- grated, broken, and dropped. In the outer 200-foot section of the south breakwater the slope stone on the channel side has pulled away and dropped. In approximately 100 feet of the south pier the concrete has disintegrated, broken, and dropped. The Presque Isle Peninsula protection works are generally in good condition except for a 3,300-foot section of steel sheet pile and stone protec- tion built in 1930 and repaired by contract in 1944, which failed and was repaired by contract in 1948 except for completion of Stone Paving. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists df 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. th here is a controlling depth of 25 feet at low-water datum in ate entrance channel and in the approach channel to the docks at the easterly end of the harbor, 15 feet to docks at the westerly end, and 21 feet to the public docks, foot of State Street. The total cost of the existing project was $3,507,304.00 of which $68,075.02 was for new work and $2,739,228.98 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $3,454,429.37.

These conditions have not been complied with. All prior conditions have been complied with. 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 vessels. The terminal has been leased to private parties but is open to all on equal terms under the terms of the lease. The facilities are considered adequate for the small existing corn- merce or any probable increase. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Examination sound- ing control survey was made by Government plant and hired labor at a cost and expenditure for the year of $997.95 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 13 percent complete. The construction of the west pier and break- water was completed under the previous project. The dredging of the entrance channel and harbor basin was completed in 1918 except for deepening the outer entrance channel from 16 feet to project depth and removal of the rock shoal on the west side of the inner entrance channel which remain to be done to complete the project. About 800 feet of the lake side of the west pier has been rein- forced with stone riprap and repairs to additional areas are neces- sary. The harbor structures are generally 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 $497,913.34 of which $56,174.10 was for new work and $441,739.2 for 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-transo portation companies 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 automobile 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 fiscal year.-New work: plans and specifications for deepening Buffalo River entrance channel, Buffalo River and Ship Canal, and the north entrance channel to project depth were continued by hired labor at a cost for-the year of $509.98. Maintenance: Government plant and hired labor reestablished sounding survey of the Buffalo River at a cost for the year of $56.23, removed obstructions from the Buffalo River entrance channel, north entrance channel and outer harbor at a cost for the year of $4,032.90, made repairs to the south breakwater and south pier at a cost for the year of $5,923.69, and removed 161,270 cubic yards of material for the restoration of project depth in the Buffalo River entrance channel and outer harbor at a cost for the year of $58,566.93. Maihtenance of the Buffalo River and Ship Canal bY contract was continued and 263,197 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost for the year of $205,467.26. The total cost for the year was $274,556.99 of which $509.98 was for new work and $274,047.01 for maintenance. The total expenditure was $185,966.72. o Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 18 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 sout breakwater was completed in 1903, and a 300-foot extension waS completed in 1935. The north breakwater was completed in 190O, the old breakwater in 1893, and the south pier in 1869. d The 23-foot project area in the outer harbor and the northenr entrance channel has been deepened to project depth except for strips 50 feet wide along the breakwater and the harbor line and 180 feet wide between the Saskatchewan Pool Terminal's and the Terminal's and Transportation Corp.'s piers. Buffalo River en trance channel has been deepened to 21 feet. The harbor structures are generally in good condition except at various points of the south breakwater and old breakwater wher the slope stone on the lakeside has been displaced, portions of the RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 2429 stone banquette on the harbor side of the old breakwater have dropped and the riprap protection along the lakeside of the north- erly 1,200 feet of the old breakwater has settled. is The controlling depth in the northerly part of the outer harbor s 23 feet and in the north and south entrance channels is 21 feet. Controlling depth in the Buffalo River channel is 20 feet, and in the southerly portion of the outer harbor it is 21 feet, at low-water datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of the removal to 27 feet of three small shoals on the direct ap- Droach to the south entrance, and the deepening of the north en- trance 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 25tfoot 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 $5,842,389.93 of which $2,672,968.33, including $655,500 Public Works funds, was for ew work and $3,169,421.60 for maintenance.

BLACK ROCK CHANNEL AND TONAWANDA HARBOR, N. Y. Location.--This improvement is essentially that of the upper 21 iles of the Niagara River from its head at Lake Erie, Buf- to, to estYe., and including Tonawanda Harbor, N. Y. It com- prises the improvements formerly designated by three titles, viz. El e rie entrance to Black Rock Harbor and Erie Basin, N. Y., ala .Rock Harbor and Channel, N. Y., and Tonawanda Harbor l Niagara River, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 312.) j Prevous projects.-Lake Erie section, none. The original pro- ct for Black Rock Harbor and Channel was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1829. The original project for Tona- anda Harbor and Niagara River was adopted by the River and 7arbor Act of March 3, 1881. For further details see items 5 and Repage 1970, of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1612 of Annual eport for 1938. SExisting projet.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep from uffalo HIarbor, north entrance channel, to opposite Sixth Avenue, S rth Tonawanda, total length 131/2 miles, as follows: From Buf- ald north entrance channel to the foot of Maryland Street, Buffalo, distance of about 4,200 feet, about 1,000 to 500 feet wide, with a ha Ohrt branch channel leading to Erie Basin; thence 350 feet wide, 2 rrowing to 200 feet wide, 500 feet northwest; thence generally f0 feet wide through Black Rock Channel to the ship lock at the ot of Bridge Street, a distance of 3.3 miles, widening at the curve OPosite the foot of Porter Avenue and at the angle immediately feth of the International Bridge. From the lock the channel is 400 tht Wide in the Niagara River to the natural deep-water pool at the upstream end of Rattlesnake Island, a distance of 3.4 miles; de ence through natural deep water to the downstream end of the tgep'Water pool at the Tonawanda waterworks intake crib, a dis- lice of about 4.7 miles, widened to 500 feet opposite the Wickwire 2432 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS; U. S. AR-MY, 1948 Spencer Steel Co.'s plant by the removal of 200 feet of the westerly end of Rattlesnake Island Shoal; thence 400 feet wide to the foot of Tonawanda Island opposite Second Avenue, North Tonawanda' a distance of 5,000 feet, ending in a turning basin about 1,230 feet long and 1,250 feet wide extending to a point opposite Sixth Avenue. The project also provides for the removal of rock shoals from the Lake Erie entrance to the canal and in the canal south of Ferry Street Bridge, to a depth of 22 feet; for a channel 16 feet deep, 6,800 feet long, and generally 400 feet wide in Tonawanda Inner Harbor; for a channel 16 feet deep, 1,400 feet long, and generally. 180 feet wide in Tonawanda Creek; for a ship lock at Bridge Street, Buffalo; for a bridge over the canal at Ferry Street, Buffalo; for the repair and 800-foot extension of Bird Island pier; for the im- provement 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 lowd water datum, and extreme fluctuations produced by winds and other causes are about 9 feet above to 31/ feet below that plane. River fluctuations gradually decrease to about 70 percent of fluctu- ations above the lock when they reach North Tonawanda. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948, is $10', 987,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $300,000, including $200,000 for operating and care. Description of Black Rock lock Location: Foot of Bridge St., Buffalo, N. Y.

Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 87 percent complete. The channel from Buffalo Harbor north en- trance 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 channel was further widened as follows The triangular area at Lake Erie entrance to the canal was cOan pleted in 1922 and transferred from Buffalo Harbor project in 1945; Lake Erie section was widened at the bend opposite foot uf George Street, Buffalo, in 1924; Black Rock Canal section, J south of the International Bridge at Buffalo, in 1928 and oppos0e ite the foot of Maryland Street, Buffalo, in 1930; and Niagara diver section in the vicinity of the westerly end of the Rattlesnake Island shoal in 1928. Rock shoals extending above a depth of 21.4 feet were removed from the Lake Erie entrance to the canal and in the canal south of Ferry Street Bridge in 1937. The Tonawanda Creek channel was completed in 1902. Tona wanda inner harbor channel was completed in 1904. The enlarge ment of the Tonawanda turning basin and the extension of 3ird Island pier were completed in 1936. The lock, including 4in 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 196, except 200-foot northerly extension and construction of concrete RIVERS AND IHARBORS-BUFFALO, N.

The bridge at Ferry Street was completed in 1914 and the lock-operating houses in 1924. of The Work remaining to be done to complete the project consists 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 Perry Street, and widening the Lake Erie entrance to the canal. ,All structures are in poor condition. Both the towpath wall and rd Island pier are badly deteriorated and require considerable annual maintenance. Several sections of the towpath wall fail yearly, requiring removal of stone and debris from the channel t d repair of the structure. The operating equipment and con- trols for the Black Rock lock are antiquated and inefficient. The Channel face of the lock walls is badly deteriorated. The upper Ving wall of the lock has shifted laterally approximately 2 feet at e maximum point and the concrete superstructure on the lower ing wall is badly cracked indicating a possible failure of the ttlmber-crib. The controlling depths at low-water datum are Black Rock chan- nelh20 feet, Tonawanda inner harbor 14 feet, and Tonawanda Creek channel, 14 feet. 4The total cost of the existing project was $12,477,641.52 of which 0,572,983.71 71as including for new work, $1,764,921.94 Emergency Relief funds, $1,311,940.33 for maintenance and $1,592,- 20571748 for operating and care.

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 *"S. Geological 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 Widening 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 upstream from the railroad bridge with a Concrete crib wall and protecting 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 constructing 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 ap- Proximately 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 approved August 18, 1941. (H. Doc. 846, 76th Cong., 3d sess.).

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, proposes that the locality take the following cooperative action: (a) Cede to the United States, in lieu of that portion of the mili- tary reservation at Reservation Point which will be required for widening the main entrance channel, an equivalent area to t east, adjoining the present Federal holdings. (b) Dredge, at itS own expense, a portion 200 feet in width of the proposed 3l 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 dredaed material to reclaim land or to build up beaches in addition to tha recommended therein, the cost in excess of the cheapest dredging and disposal methods should be borne by local interests.) The citY of Los Angeles has contributed the sum of $200,000 to pay thil increased cost of depositing 2,480,000 cubic yards of material being dredged from areas A and B at Cabrillo Beach on the seah ward side of the San Pedro breakwater.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides that before any work is undertaken on the turning basin, local interests shall furnish necessary disposal areas and give as- surances satisfactory to the Secretary of War and Chief of Engi" neers that they will deepen areas adjacent to the municipal piers to depth of 35 feet, and that before any work is undertaken on the channel to Chula Vista local interests shall contribute $10,000 in cash. These conditions have been complied with, except in the case of the channel to Chula Vista. The modification of the project 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 reim burse the United States for the cost involved in excess of the cost of disposal by the most economical method and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from such disposal. This requirement was accepted by resolution of the citY of Coronado, and approved by the Chief of Engineers. 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 Coros nado and one Government-owned wharf at North Island. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce.

WHITLOW RANCH RESERVOIR, QUEEN CREEK, ARIZ. Location.--The site of the improvement is on Queen Creek, Ariz., a tributary of the Gila River, about 10 miles west of Superior, Ariz. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction 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 outlet works would be an integll. part of the dam. The reservoir would have a total capacity at spll way crest of 24,000 acre-feet, of which 17,000 acre-feet would be reserved for flood control and 7,000 acre-feet for sedimentatiof and conservation purposes. The operation of the reservoir would regulate the run-off from a tributary area of 143 square miles, re- ducing the flow of the design flood from 59,000 to 1,400 cubic feet per second. The estimated cost is $1,645,000, of which $1,561,000 is for construction, and $84,000 for relocation of existing utilitie' and $7,800 annually for maintenance and operation. The pro]jec was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946, in accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers in his report dated June 24, 1946. Local cooperation.-Localinterests 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 improve- ments, and hold and save the United States free from all claims for damages arising from construction and operation of the workS* FLOOD CONTROL-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 2555 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- nenced.

TUCSON DIVERSION CHANNEL, GILA RIVER BASIN, ARIZ. Location.-The site of the improvement is in Pima County on Tucson Arroyo and Julian and Fairgrounds Washes, tributaries of Santa Cruz River near Tucson, Ariz. Existing project.-This plan of improvement provides protec- 0tofor the city of Tucson, Ariz., and suburban areas by the con- Struction of a diversion channel consisting of an excavated channel and a levee system, about 7.3 miles long across the Tucson Arroyo Basin and adjacent basins from near the intersection of Swan Road and Broadway to near Drexel Road, at a point about 3.5 miles South of Tucson. The 1948 estimated cost is $2,390,000 for con- Struction and $687,000 for lands and damages. This improvement was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 30, 1948. (See H. Doc. 274, 80th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish all necessary rights-of-way; assume responsibility for all damage claims, cost of necessary relocations of public utilities, cost of nec- essary new highway bridges and highway relocations; and main- tain the improvement after completion. Local interests have not been notified of the requirements of local cooperation. Operation and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction undertaken. Work remaining consists of preparation of project plan, contract Plans and specifications, and construction. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no operations are proposed for fiscal year 1949. Funds in the amount of $500,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1950 for initiation of construction by contract of earth levee system and diversion channel.

Location.-The site of the improvements is along lower Santa Clara River and along lower Santa Paula Creek, a tributary of Santa Clara River, in Ventura County, Calif. . Existing project.-The project plan consists of two units (1) an improvement for the protection of the Oxnard Plain, the city of Oxnard, and an important naval base at Port Huenene by the construction of a paved levee along the left side of Santa Clara River from the west end of South Mountain to U. S. Iigh. way 101 bridge, a distance of approximately 4.7 miles; and (2) an improvement for the protection of the city of Santa Paula and nearby agricultural areas by the construction of a concrete channel from near the mouth of Santa Paula Canyon to Santa Clara River, a distance of approximately 3 miles. The December 1947 estimated cost is $4,956,000 for construction of both units and $145,000 for lands and damages. This project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 30, 1948. (See H. Doc. 443, 80th Cong., 1st sess.)

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. 270 t. extending from Battery Point to Round Rock, a rubble mound sand barrier from Whaler Island to the easterly shore, an inner breakwater extending northwesterly from Whaler Island, so as to form a protected fish-boat harbor, for maintaining, by dredging, a 2561 2562 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 inthe 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 1948, is $4,162,000 exclusive of $217,116 contributed by local interests. The latest (1940) approved estimate for annual cost of main* tenance, including $5,000 for dredging outside the harbor basin, but exclusive of the cost of maintenance of the fish-boat harbor, is $82,500.

Terminal facilities.-There are two wharves in the harbor, one of which is designated for public use, but is in need of considerable repair. There is also one boat fueling station. In their present condition these facilities are considered inadequate for existing commerce. Local interests are planning to expand terminal fa- cilities. Operations and results during fiscal year.-As new work, 175,- 443 tons of stone were placed by contract on the 1,000-foot eX% tension to the main breakwater and 557 cubic yards of pinnacle rocks were removed from the fish-boat harbor. The costs for these items of work were $567,979.61 and $24,897.90, respectively, or a total of $592,877.51 for new work. Maintenance work consist- ing of periodic condition surveys was done by hired labor at a cost of $3,574.28. The total costs were $596,451.79 and the ex- penditures were $474,606.78, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 62 percent physically complete. The work remaining to be done includes the completion of the 1,000-foot-long extension of the main breakwater and removal of pinnacle rocks in the fish-boat harbor, (work was started under contract in May 1947 and is scheduled for completion in July 1948); and construction of an additional 1,700-foot extension to the main breakwater to Round Rock.t The controlling 'depth of the shoreward portion of the project harbor is 10 feet deepening to 18 feet in the outer half. In the fish-boat harbor within a rectangular area about 800 feet wide and 900 feet long the depths range from 13 to 19 feet except near RIVERS AND IIARBORS-SAN.

Terminal facilities.-There are 36 wharves and 7 small-boat landings, 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 com- merce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Davison worked from May 17 to June 30, 1948 and dredged 278,330 cubic yards from the project channels. The jetties were Patrolled during the winter to observe the effect of winter storms and periodic condition surveys were made. The costs of these items of hired labor and maintenance work were $59,634.65, $2,945.69, and $5,827.87 respectively, or a total of $68,408.21. The expenditures were $60,771.71, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.---The existing project was com- Pleted in 1939. The north jetty was completed in 1925, the south Jetty in 1927, the Arcata channel in 1931, the Fields Landing chan- nel 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; ureka 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 2566 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

NOYO RIVER AND HARBOR, CALIF. Location.--Noyo Harbor is a cove on the California coast about 35 miles northwest of San Francisco. Noyo River rises in the Coast Range Mountains, flows westerly, and empties into Noyo larbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5703.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of September 22, 1922. For further details see page 1680, Annual Report for 1929, and page 1772, Annual Report for 1930. Existing project.-This provides for a rubble-mound break- ater 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 1.15 miles above the mouth, 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 1948 is $1,708,400 excluding $7,180 of contributed funds. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $41,500.

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; 2568 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide suitable public facilities and arrangements for the loading and unloading of vessels in Noyo Harbor. , The act of June 30, 1948 requires that local interests establish a competent public body empowered to regulate the use and devel- opment of the port facilities, which shall be open to all on equal terms, and provided such public body (a) furnishes, without cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights-of-way neces- sary for construction of the improvement; (b) agrees to hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from construc- tion and maintenance of the project; (c) reserves for spoil-disposal areas all presently unused lands adjacent to the lower 1.6 miles of the river and lying below an elevation of 16 feet above mean lower low water; (d) agrees to furnish, free of cost to the United States, easements over these areas for the deposit of spoil from the new work and maintenance dredging and for the construction thereon of impounding levees and to furnish royalty-free material for the construction of such levees, all when and as required; and (e) agrees to contribute to the United States funds equal to the Federal cost of constructing such levees as and when required. Terminal facilities.-In the harbor, there are moorings and a cableway for holding and loading vessels. In the river there are six wharves for unloading fish, five boat-fueling terminals, and three boat-building and repair plants. These facilities are ade- quate, but moorings facilities for fishing boats are inadequate and steps are being taken to enlarge them. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Advance planning for the outer breakwater was performed by hired labor at a cost of $6,213.69 for new work. As maintenance work, periodic condi- tion surveys were made at a cost of $763.86. The total costs during the year were $7,384.13 including $406.58 outstanding for dredg- ing performed in fiscal year 1947 and the expenditures were $16,699.95 all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is about 15 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the construction of the breakwater in Noyo Harbor and the extension of the channel one- half mile upstream. In June 1948, the controlling depth at the entrance channel was 11 feet; between the jetties 6.5 feet except for a small shoal 4 feet deep on the north side of the channel; thence 9.3 feet to the head of the project except for another shoal 0 feet deep on the south side of the channel.

BODEGA BAY, CALIF. Location.-Bodega Bay is a triangular lagoon on the California coast 58 miles north of San Francisco. (See U. S. Coast and Geo- detic 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 Bay, and thence southerly along the shore for a dis- tance 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 pre- vent sand from the spit near the entrance being 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 mainte- nance 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.-Fullycomplied with for new work. Local in" terests are required to furnish disposal areas for maintenance dredging 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 re- pair plant, and 3 boat-fueling stations. These are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The U. S. hopper dredge Pacific worked intermittently from December 18, 1947, to March 30, 1948, and dredged 274,853 cubic yards from the project channels. Periodic condition surveys were made by hired labor. The costs of these items of maintenance work were $87,760.56, and RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2571 $2,928.45, respectively, or a total of $90,689.01. The expenditures Were $91,246.13, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1943. In May 1948 the midchannel controlling depth was 11 feet except for the inner turning basin where the controlling depth is 6.5 feet. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year Was $641,799.71 for new work and $96,492.86 for maintenance, a total of $738,292.57, and the expenditures were $738,518.92, all fro regular funds. operations.--The unexpended balance at the end of theProposed fiscal year amounting to $1,181.08, together with accounts re- ceivable, $226.35 and an allotment of $27,000 made in July 1948, a total of $28,407.43, will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1949 as follows: Maintenance: Periodic condition surveys and inspections by hired labor July 1948 to June 1949_------- ---------------------------- $8,407.43 Repairs to jetties by contract, January 1949-------_ 20,000.00 Total all work---.....---------------------------------------- 28,407.43 The additional sum of $52,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950, as follows: laiatenance: Redredging of project channels by United States phpper dredge, July and August 1949- ------------------------ $45,000 riodic condition surveys and inspections, July 1949 to June 30, 950 --------- 7,000 Total _------------------------------------ ----------- 52,000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948-------------------- ------ $641,799.71 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948...---..----..------------- 96,492.86 lu Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948--------- 738,292.57 _-- us accounts receivable, June 30, 1948 -- --------- . -226.35 Gross total costs to June 30, 1948------------ 738,518.92 Nettotal expenditures------ --------------------- 738,518.92 UTexpended balance, June 30, 1948 ----------- . ..------- 1,181.08 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1948 ---------- 739,700.00 year ending June 30 Fiscal 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 ostf new work.--------$755.00---- sof naintenance ----- ------------- ..... .... $255. 42 $2,189. 85 $3,358. 58 $90, 689. 01 otalexpended --------------................. -889. 95 300. 00 1, 21. 83 3, 651. 25 91, 246. 13 Allotted -- -7,000.00 74, 200.00 19, 500.00 3,000.00 804711-48--Vol. 2-68 2572 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

ARMY, 1948 Local cooperation.-The act of January 21, 1927, as modified bY the act of March 2, 1945, requires that local interests contribute one-half the cost of the entrance channel (400 feet wide) to the outer harbor and that the future maintenance by the United States of the north channel in Brooklyn Basin be contingent upon the re- moval by local interests of all sewers emptying therein, or, in lieu of such removal, upon the contribution of one-half the cost O6 maintenance (H. Doc. 407, 69th Cong., 1st sess., and I. 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 replaced the bridges at Park Street and IHigh Street and are operating and maintaining them. They are legally unable to replace a combined railroad and highway bridge at Fruitvale Avenue because of a decision rendered by the Federal court that a municipality cannot contribute funds toward the betterment of a private corporation. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company operates trains over this bridge. This was discussed in negotia tions during 1947 and 1948 and the recommendation of the District Engineer to construct a separate railroad bridge has been approved by the Chief of Engineers. Terminal facilities.-There are 88 wharves, exclusive of those owned by the United States, 8 ferry terminals, and 1 large vegeta ble oil terminal in the harbor.

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

Local cooperation.-TheRiver 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 pro- RIVERS AND HIARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2597 Vided, further that local interests bear the excess cost of placing dredged materials in disposal areas of their selection. These re- quirements have been complied with for the work performed to date. All prior requirements have been fulfilled. Terminal facilities.-Within the protected harbor the existing commercial facilities consist of two publicly owned wharves with a total of about 2,600 feet of berthing space, six boat-fueling sta- tions, two net-tanning plants, two machine shops and other facili- ties for servicing fishing boats, exclusive of facilities owned by the United States. Outside the protected harbor there are 1 boat-build- ing and repair plant, 35 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 considered adequate for existing commerce, al- though a state of congestion generally exists within the protected harbor due to a lack of sufficient protected anchor mooring space. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-Under the provi- Sions 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 Completed in fiscal year 1947, final outstanding costs of $12,607.36 Were liquidated during fiscal year 1948. As maintenance, periodic Condition surveys were made at a cost of $2,637.34. The total costs Were $15,244.70, and the expenditures were $16,981.85, of which $14,444.98 was from advanced funds and $2,536.87 from regular maintenance funds.

(See U. S. Geological Survey quadrangles, Capitola, San Juan Bautista, and VIorgan 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 Watsonvilled with suitable bank protection; and the raising, enlargement, and lengthening of the existing levee on Carnadero Creek near GilroY. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1947, is $714,000, exclusive of estimated non-Federal costs of $336,000. d The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act apprve 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 f contributing $46,000 to the United States for special channel-con struction work at the Watsonville highway bridge in lieu of beard ing the expense of altering that structure; hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from construction of the work; and maintain and operate all works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. Local interests in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties have ful filled all requirements of local cooperation necessary for initiation of construction of the Pajaro River levees. Local interests in Santa Clara County, however, have not fulfilled the requirementS for construction of the Carnadero Creek levee. The State of California FLOOD CONTRO---SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2605 has officially adopted the project in chapter 1514, California Statutes of 1945.

Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish, free f cost to the United States, suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material during initial construction and future mainte- nance, and necessary rights-of-way, and shall assume the main- tenance of levees. All requirements for work done to date have been fulfilled.. " Terminal facilities.-There are a number of privately owned river freight warehouses along the river and in the delta region. Freight is handled on the bank, except at and below Antioch, where extensive wharves and warehouses exist. The city of Stockton Port terminal has 3,400 linear feet of public wharves served by 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 erated grain and lumber terminals, a cotton compress and ware- louse, 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 facilities at the Stockton port terminal are in use for military purposes. A naval supply depot 2614 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 (Stockton annex) has been completed on Rough and Ready Island, bounded by the Stockton Deep Water Channel on the north side, San Joaquin River on the east side, and Burns Cut-off on the south and west sides. In New York Slough there are 13 wharves, includ- ing one for deep-sea vessels. One wharf has a spur track and two have oil pipe lines. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: The 9- foot channel in Mormon Channel was completed from the mouth upstream to Main Street, 0.9 mile, 219,358 cubic yards being ex- cavated from the project channel by contract pipe-line dredginb plant, February to May 1948. The cost, including surveys an plans, clearing debris, sloping banks, revetment, and preparation of spoil areas, was $148,889.50. Total expenditures were $123,702.54. Maintenance: The 30-foot channel to Stockton was restored to project dimensions at the confluence of the main river and Stockton Channel, and vicinity, and at the upper end of the New York sl 0ugh 30-foot channel, miles 2 to 3, by the excavation of 491,468 cubic yards by contract pipe-line dredging plant at a cost of $203,624.1' including surveys and inspections. Under hourly basis contract clamshell dredging plant was used to restore project channel dimensions at the mouth of False River, mile 13, 33,369 cubic yards being excavated at a cost of $11,765.38. k Total costs for the fiscal year were $148,889.50 for new wor and $215,389.73 for maintenance; total expenditures were $268,864.99. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 99 per cent complete, the work remaining to be done being completion dredging of a 9-foot channel in Mormon Channel to Center Street, Stockton; possible completion of restoration of levee on north side of Venice Island cut; and setting back of levees and bringin0 levees to grade and section if 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 Mormon Channels 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 9-foot depth is available in Mormon Channel, upto Main Street, 0.9 mile, thence 3 feet to Center Street, head af navigation, and 10 feet in Fremont Channel and McLeod Lake. The river, from its junction with Stockton Channel to j{ills 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 Railroad crossing) is impracticable in the low stages after June. All depths are referred to mean lower low water.

STOCKTON AND MORMON CHANNELS (DIVERTING CANAL), CALIF. Location.-This is an artificial cut located about 2 miles north* east of Stockton. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheet, Stockton quadrangle.) Existing project.-This provides for diverting the waters of Mormon Slough before reaching Mormon and Stockton Channels by means of a dam in the slough 3 miles east of Stockton, and a canal 150 feet wide, with average cut of 7.9 feet, thence to the north branch of the Calaveras River, 4.63 miles; by the enlarge' nient 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 high- way crossings to about 3 feet above the contemplated flood' sur RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2617 face. 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 mainte- nance 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 for 1899, p. 3188). The latest published map is in House Doc- urnent 256, Sixty-third Congress, first session. Local coperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-See report on San Joaquin River, Calif. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-All features of the existing pro- Ject Were completed in 1910. The structures involved are in good Condition. Most of the silt formerly deposited in Stockton and Mor- rAon 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 WVork and $117, 228.58 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $370,379.61. Proposed operations.-Thebalance unexpended at the end of the iscal year, amounting to $911.27, and an allotment of $5,000 made in July 1948, a total of $5,911.27 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 1948, and to Miscellaneous inspections. The additional sum of $8,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 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 D labor and Government plant, August and September 1949--------- $5,500 redging deposits of silt from the Calaveras section of the diverting ceanal, by contract, December 1949---------------------------- 2,300 iscellaneous inspections, during entire fiscal year__--------------- 200 Total for maintenance -------------------------------- 8,000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948__ ---------------------- $253,151.03 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948--.------------------ 117,228.58 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948 .--------- 370,379.61 total expenditures_-------------------------------- -- 370,379.61 Net tnexpended balance, June 30, 1948_--------------------_ 911.27 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1948_ _-------371,290.88 Fiscal year ending June 30 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 Cost of Cost of new work .. .. . .. . .. . aintenance.........-----------. $145. 94 $3, 016. 30 $125. 43 $7, 723. 77 . - -- 'otal e:xpende----------------................. 174.6 8 3,016.30 -..-. - - 7, 849. 20 - - - -- Allotte -- ---------- 9, 0(0.0.00 2, 000.00 -1,400.00 -$500.00 2618 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 Sacramento Valley, Calif.)nd Existing project. This provides for the removal of snags aod obstructions and occasional dredging of shoals from the mouth O 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 Riv(er Location of section going upstream Depth Length Feet _ Miles 4 Mouth of river to lower junction North and South Forks ..... .9 8 Lower junction North and South Forks to Snodgrass slough vi a North Fork... 9 1 Snodgrass Slough to upper junction North and South Forks vi a North Fork - - 6 Lower junction North and South Forks to upper Junction of sa me at New Hope 14 Landing via South Fork . ..... ................ 93 New Hope Landing to Gait-New Hope Biridge..........------------.... ....- .....--- .-.- -- 3 At low-river stages the range between mean lower low water ind mean higher high water at the mouth is 4 feet, with extreme tidlt 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 t e mouth and 12 feet at the upper end. Extreme flood fluctuation is 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 1i $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act o July 5, 1884, Senate Executive Document 34, Forty-seventh Con gress, 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 flope Bridge, and in making several cut-offs. Two thirds of the cost of this work was contributed by the local protection district. The result was to accelerate run-off and improve navigation conditions in the RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2619 1 OWer river. Other similar expenditures have been made by local Interests, for which records are not available. Terminal facilities.-The Western Pacific Railroad has ware- houses at terminus, on Potato slough; otherwise commodities are handled on small wharves or landings or on the banks at various Doints. The facilities are considered adequate for existing com- Dierce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- Pleted in 1885. Controlling depths are as shown in the table under existing project, except in the first section, where 12 feet is the 1 ontrolling depth; in the third section, where 2 feet is the control- d g 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 tages in the fall. The total cost and expenditures were $74,037.01, which $8,500 was for new work and $65,537.01 for mainte- "ance. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $2,000, made in July 1ig 1948, will be applied to maintenance, in removing snags, overhang- trees, and other obstructions from the mouth up to New Hope anding, by hired labor and Government plant, in August or Sep- leber 1948. thThe additional sum of $4,000 can be profitably expended during he fiscal year 1950 for maintenance, as follows: re dging sand bars and shoals by contract, from mouth to New Hope Sanding, July or August 1949------------------------------ $2,800 labor lYoving snags, overhanging trees, and other obstructions, by hired and Government plant, September 1949....-------------------- 1,200 Total for" maintenance-------------------------------- 4,000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948------------------------- $8,500.00 ost of maintenance to June 30, 1948- .----------------- 65,537.01 Net total Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948---------........ 74,037.01 expenditures_-------------------------- ------ 74,037.01 Ttal amount appropriated to June 30, 1948. ----------------- 74037.01 'iscal Year ending June 30 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 costOfow i---.--- work -- ---------------------------- ---- AltexDned..

Location.-This river is formed by numerous streams drainin the Trinity and Warner Mountains in northern California nd empties into Suisun Bay at Collinsville. (See U. S. Geological ~ vey topographic 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, Annua Report for 1915, and page 1708, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.--This provides for construction of a ship chan nel 30 feet deep and 200 to 300 feet wide from deep water in Suisun Bay to Washington Lake, including such works as may be neces' sary to compensate for or to alleviate any detrimental salinitY co ditions resulting from the ship channel; a basin of equal depth 1,000 feet wide and 1,200 feet long at Washington Lake; and a connectin channel 11 feet deep and 120 feet wide, with lock and drawbridge thence to Sacramento River; thence 6 feet deep at low water t 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 mean of dredging and dry excavation of 30-foot and 11-foot cuts for chan- nels, with related confining embankments, harbor excavation and structures. The ten-foot channel project by the river route adopted in 1927 provides for a channel 10 feet deep at mean lower l water and from 150 to 200 feet wide from the mouth of the river to Sacramento. It has been completed and is still to be maintaine for local navigation. Above Sacramento the results are to be o12 tained by removal of snags and concentration of the channel bY temporary works, and stream-flow regulation by the Shasta Reser voir.

These assurances have been furnished, and accepted. he California Legislature on June 20, 1947, by chapter 1152, 1947 satutes, duly signed by the Governor, appropriated $750,000 for te 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 e Voters of the port district, and (2) the making of a Federal ap- Propriation for construction of the deep water channel to Sacra- mento, Calif. The first requirement was fulfilled 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 lade the head of the improvement. Terminal facilities.-At Sacramento there are 4,810 linear feet of liharves, of which 1,850 linear feet are owned by the city and 420 lnear feet are open to general public use. There are 245,700 square feet of warehouse space, of which 103,700 square feet are owned by the city and 21,000 square feet are open to general public use. 2622 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 land-to ,ings. Freight is also handled on the bank. Between Sacramento and the mouth of the river there are, in addition to 1,440 linear feet of wharf with warehouse facilities at Rio Vista, 19 large wharves, about 38 large warehouses, and many small warehouses and lande ings all owned and operated by private interests. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce.ired Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: ired labor and rented plant were used from October 1947 to January 1948 to remove snags and other obstructions in sections of the 5- foot channel between Chico Landing and a point 49 miles down- stream, at a cost of $105,093.18. Advanced planning, including hydrology, plans and design, and exploration for foundations and materials to be excavated, was carried on during the fiscal year,di a cost of $76,745.67. Total cost was $181,838.85, and total expend tures were $186,181.78. of Maintenance. Above Sacramento-Snagging and clearing brush were done by hired labor, from Colusa downstream, at a cost of $287.50. Repairs to wingdams between the mouth of Feather River and a point 5 miles downstream were made by hired labor a a cost of $22,581.29. Clearing of debris from bars between Sacra mento weir and the mouth of Feather River by hired labor, in July 1947, cost $1,388.90. Maintenance: At and below Sacramento: A contract pipe-line dredge removed 197,867 cubic yards from the river at Sacramento harbor, in September and October 1947, at a cost of $49,156. Snagging below Sacramento in Steamboat slough channel, and ,n the main river, by hired labor, May and June 1948, cost $4,350.6 o Procurement and preparation of spoil areas at West Sacramento and south of Sacramento for current and future use, COs $35,497.64. Miscellaneous surveys of the river cost $20,297.095 Total cost for both sections was $133,560.22, and total expenditures were $126,761.75, for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The 10-foot channel belOW Sacramento was completed in 1931. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the provision of a 6-foot depth beo tween Sacramento and Colusa and 5-foot depth thence to Chic Landing, provided a continuous river flow of 5,000 second-feet s made available by operation of the Shasta Dam and Reservoir; and construction under the modification authorized by the River an Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, for a 30-foot channel to Sac- ramento. The controlling low-water season 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, 3.0 feet; thence to Butte City, 2.5 feet; and thence to Sidds Landing, 2.3 feet. There is no regular navigation above Sidds Landing, 178 miles above the mouth, and no maintenance work has been done above this point since 1921.

Geological Survey sheet "Topographic Map of SSacramento 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. fr, xisting project.-This provides for improvement of the river fron its mouth to Marysville by providing for a channel of such ofths as may be practicable at an average annual cost not in excess fy$10,000, and that no local cooperation be required in addition to the contribution already made by local interests in accordance with e requirement of River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916. The latest (1931) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $1,500. is Ordinary flood fluctuation is 20 feet and extreme flood fluctuation s about 25 feet. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927 (Rivers and Harbors Committee oc. 1, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.--There are several small landings, all pri- vately owned. All other traffic is handled on the bank. These facili- ties are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-In December 1947, the channel in the vicinity of the Nicolaus Bridge, Mile 9.5, was cleared of snags, logs, and other obstructions, by hired labor at a al cost and expenditure of $1,000, for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is one of taintenance and requires the removal of obstructions and con- struction of wing-dams as needed. The controlling depth from the nouth at Verona up to Marysville is usually 3 feet from about koebruary 15 to June 15. The channel and banks have been cleared f the worst obstructions and any possible navigation thereby was facilitated. $sThe total cost and expenditures under the existing project were r, 7 42.91, for maintenance. In addition, $3,840.10 was expended romr contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $2,000, made in July 1948, will be applied to removal of obstructions from the mouth of Se river up to Nicolaus Bridge, 91/2 miles, by hired labor and overnment or rented plant, in September or October 1948. 2626 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 d- Whiskey Slough. (See U. S. Geological Survey,'California quad" rangles Bouldin, Woodward Island, HIolt, Union Island, Stockton' and Lathrop.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of JtlY 3, 1930. For further details see page 1290 of Annual Report for 1934. d Existing project.-This provides for a channel 9 feet deep an 100 feet wide in Middle River below Borden highway bridge; in Latham Slough between Middle River and Empire Cut; and in pire Cut, Whiskey Slough, and Turner Cut between Middle River I" 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. t The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 48, 72d RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2627 Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project docu- blent. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are no extensive terminal facilities on these waterways, other than bank landings along the channels, Which are considered adequate. There is one large wharf with ware- house at Middle River station with rail connection. All facilities are privately owned, but are open to public use. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. The controlling depth is the project depth of,9 feet at mean lower low water in all of the channels. The total costs and expenditures were $7,645.52, of which $6,754.22 was for new work and $891.30 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No operations are proposed for the fiscal Year 1949. The sum of $2,000 together with $2,000 remaining from fiscal Year 1949 funds, can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1950 n removing bars and shoals which develop to obstruct the 9-foot annel in Middle River and connecting waterways.

All depths are referred to mean lower low water. Th 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 5l/ 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 15 $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 docu" ment contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-Localinterests are required to furnish with out cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suit. able spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent mainte nance as necessary, and to agree to provide public landings satisd factory to the Chief of Engineers on each side of the propOsed channel in the Old River near Lammers Ferry Road and on t~e Fabian-Bell Canal west of Grant Line bridge. Spoil-disposal areas have been provided for those channels so far completed. Comple- tion of the project is being held in abeyance pending fulfillment of all requirements for local cooperation. d 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 °ollY Sugar Co. refinery and terminal near Tracy has a large wharf and an unloading basin with three mechanical unloading and conveyinD units connecting with a warehouse; there is also a passing basin one-half mile downstream. There are about 100 private bank land- ings 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 dredgire and other excavating plant, operating under contract for its hire and operation, in July 1947, removed 65,131 cubic yards from the channels in places, from Grant Line Canal to the Holly Sugar Fa - tory near Tracy, at a cost of $26,427.71, including surveys and re moval of obstructions, all for maintenance. Total expenditures were $27,207.67. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 32 per cent complete, the work remaining to be done being completion the project channels up to and at Orwood; in Fabian-Bell Canal, rl 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 righ t so0f° way, spoil areas, and public landings, have been fulfilled. The co" trolling 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 love end of Grant Line Canal, 10 miles, 10 feet; thence (a) to Iolly RIVERS AND HARBORS SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2633 Sugar Factory near Tracy, 10 feet, or (b) to head of Old River in San Joaquin, 4.5 feet. The total cost was $163,869.94, of which $23,184.86 was for new work and $140,685.08 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $162,631.93. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, amounting to $31,068.07, together with an allotment of $30,000 made in July 1948, a total of $61,068.07 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1948-------------------------------- $1,238.01 uew work: Dredging of projecyt channels in upper reaches of Old 1 25,000.00 n iver system, April to June 1949.-------------------------- aintenance: Dredging of channels in Old River system, by con- tract, and snagging by hired labor, April to June 1949 ------- 34,830.06 Total for all work__-------------------------------- 61,068.07 heThe additional sum of $35,000 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1950, for maintenance dredging in channels of the Old River system, including cuts, canals, and sloughs, to restore Droject dimensions, by contract pipe-line dredging plant, or by clamshell dredging plant under hourly basis contract, July to De- Cember 1949.

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 1 miles northeasterly from Fresno, Calif., and follow nearly paral- lel courses in a southwesterly direction toward Clovis and Fresno. Portions 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 nlrthwesterly and southwesterly of Fresno, Calif. (See U. S. Geo- lgical Survey quadrangles of the area.) Existing project.-This provides for construction of a detention reservoir, with a storage capacity of 20,200 acre-feet, on Big Dry Creek about 10 miles northeast of Fresno; for diverting the flood- Waters of Dog Creek to a point on Big Dry Creek above the reser- Voir; and for constructing a diversion canal from the reservoir northwesterly to Little Dry Creek, a tributary of the San Joaquin River. The improvements will control floods on Big Dry and Dog Creeks considerably greater than any of recent occurrence and will trovide complete protection to the cities of Fresno and Clovis and their suburban areas. The estimated Federal cost (revised in 1946) is $1,281,000 for construction. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Con- trol Act of August 18, 1941. (See H. Doc. 845, 76th Cong., 3d sess., Which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Localinterests are required to give assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will pro- Vide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project, hold and save the United States free from claims for damages due to construction and maintenance of the project, bear the exnense of bridge construction, and maintain and operate all the works after COmpletion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the See- 2638 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 retary of the Army. Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945, approved by the Governor of that State on July 19, 1945, pro- vides for these assurances which have been furnished to and accepted by the Secretary of the Army. Satisfactory rights-of-waY have been furnished by the State of California. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Requirements for procurement of rights-of-way by the State of California were fal- filled, and construction under contract was completed in February 1948. During the year 83,459 cubic yards of earth were excavate, 1,039,026 cubic yards were placed in embankment, 91,667 cubic yards of riprap, cobbles and gravel were placed; and 2,457 cubic yards of concrete were placed in the three outlet structures; 36,500 linear feet of earth dykes, and 17,700 linear feet of outlet channel were completed. In addition, work on construction or revision of road approaches, culverts, and fences and utilities in connection with Big Dry Creek Dam was done for local interests at a cost to them of $44,008.12. Total Federal cost during the year was $939,148.98, and total expenditures were $989,984.75, for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionof the project was started in April 1947, and completed in February 1948. Total cost was $1,242,124.28, and total expenditures were $1,245,297.33, for new work. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1948, amounting to $10,702.67, along with accounts receivable o $8,193.37, will be applied to payment of accounts payable, $5,020.3' and to new work during the fiscal year 1949 for miscellaneous minor work.

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 tribu- taries, Miles and Owens Creeks; and Deadmans Creek with its tributaries, Little Deadmans, Big Deadmans, and Dutchmans Creek. The latter group crosses an undeveloped area of low grade pasture land. The remainder of the Merced County stream group trains an upper area of 398 square miles, ranging from mountains o low foothills, and a lower area of 312 square miles of broad 2642 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 alluvial valley. The flow of the streams under consideration is in- termittent throughout the year. Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a proJ ect for flood control consisting of (a) A diversion canal of 3,000 second feet capacity between Black Rascal and Bear Creeks, (b) a detention reservoir of 6,000 acre-feet capacity on Burns Cree (c), a detention reservoir of 6,000 acre-feet capacity on Bear Creek, (d) a detention reservoir of 5,000 acre-feet capacity .n 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 1948) of $2,700,000 and $4,000 annually for maintenance and operation of the reservoirs, damTs e 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 Secretary 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 utility changes; (c) complete the enlargement of the channel of Miles Creek and re- store 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 construction 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. ChaP, ter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945, approved bY the Governor of that State on July 19, 1945, provides for the furnis ing of the required assurances which have been furnished and accepted.

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, head- waters 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 Bakersfield to a point in the valley trough just north of Buena Vista Lake. River flows at this point are either diverted into the Buena Vista Lake Basin for temporary storage or are carried northwest along the trough of the valley toward Tulare Lake Basin by improved flood and irrigation chan" nels. Under normal conditions of run-off the flow of Kern River below Bakersfield is gradually dissipated by irrigation diversions o that Kern River water reaches Tulare Lake Basin only during arge floods. Poso Creek drains an area of 290 square miles lyinl 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 FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2645 Reservoir on Kern River, Calif., for flood control and other pur- Poses, at an estimated first cost (revised in 1948) of $14,300,000 and $30,000 annually for maintenance and operation. The existing Project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 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 Seclamation, 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 during the year for continuing the preparation of detailed plans and contract Plans and specifications for construction was $252,624.93, includ- ang extensive core drilling. Construction by contract of an earthfill auxiliary dam was begun in March 1948, and was 42 percent com- Pleted at the end of the year; is estimated to be completed in bNovember 1948. To date, 302,947 cubic yards were placed in em- bankment, 11,747 cubic yards were removed in stripping opera- tions, and miscellaneous work was done. Cost of this work was $200,952.67. Construction bjr contract of a core storage warehouse Was begun in June 1948, and was 15 percent completed; is to be completed late in July 1948. Cost to date is $1,159.32. Total cost of new work was $454,736.92; total .expenditures were $376,942.69. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Final contract plans are being prepared; construction work on this project was started in March 194 8 . The total cost to date was $706,608.04 for new work; total expenditures were $621,324.66.

FLOOD CONTROLr--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2647 17. KINGS RIVER AND TULARE LAKE, INCLUDING PINE FLAT RESERVOIR, CALIF. Location.-The area covered by this project comprises the upper Watershed of Kings River, its valley, alluvial fan or delta, and the lake bed known as Tulare Lake. The upper basin above the town of Piedra is rugged and mountainous. Below Piedra the river enters the relatively flat alluvial valley where the river divides, one branch known as Fresno slough flowing north to join the San Joaquin River, and the second south to Tulare Lake, an area which in its unreclaimed state varied from a completely dry condition to a body of water some 750 square miles in extent. There is no natural outlet from this lake as it is separated from the San Joaquin Basin by a low ridge, but lake waters have escaped over this ridge at least once since settlement of the region. Tulare Lake also receives floodwaters of Tule, Kaweah, and Kern Rivers in Sone 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 esti- mated total first cost (revised in 1948) of $51,121,000.

FOLSOM RESERVOIR, SACRAMENTO RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Location.---The proposed Folsom damsite is located on the American River about 21/2 miles above or northeasterly of the town of Folsom in Sacramento, Calif., and about 1 mile below the 2650 REPORT OF OHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 confluence of the north and south forks of this stream. The pro- posed 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 1948) of $50,792,000. 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.-None required, except payment for conser- vation costs when used. The State of California has officially adopted the project.

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 CottonW.od Creek to form Cross Creek, which flows thence southwest 35 tules to Tulare Lake Basin. The southerly channel, which continues to Kaweah River, flows southwest 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 aan 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 Term inus and Success Reservoir projects, including supplementa spreading works, at an estimated first cost (revised in 1948) Of $24,539,000 and $13,000 annually for maintenance and operation of the reservoirs.

LOWER SAN JOAQUIN RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, INCLUDING TUOLUMNE AND STANISLAUS RIVERS, CALIF. Location.--The area covered by this project comprises the San Joaquin River and its watershed north of Kings River and other Streams tributary to Tulare Lake Basin, which together constitute the south half of the San Joaquin Valley, and which, except during 2654 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 ren ported upon separately. The San Joaquin River has its sources e the Sierra Nevada, and flows generally southwest through the mountains and foothills to the vicinity of Friant, where it enters the flat alluvial valley through which it flows west 60 miles to Mendota midway of the valley floor. At Mendota the river turns northwest and flows 157 miles to Mossdale at the head of the San Joaquin delta, an extensive area of reclaimed tidal swanmP lands through which the river flows with numerous side channels and sloughs to join the Sacramento River at the head of Suisun Bay near Pittsburg. The river drains an area of 17,000 square miles, exclusive of the Tulare Lake Basin drainage area. Merced' Tuolumne, Stanislaus, and Mokelumne Rivers, principal trib taries of the San Joaquin River, likewise have their sources in the Sierra Nevada, and flow in a generally westerly direction throuh the mountains and foothills to enter the alluvial valley and join thd 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 centers serving the area under consideration. The lower San Joaquin River is under improvement for navigation, the existing project providing for a 30-foot ship channel to Stockton and various minor improvements for the benefits of light-draft navigation in the delta channels. Existing project.-This provides for (a) construction of Ne0 Melones Reservoir on Stanislaus River, Calif., for flood control and other purposes, at an estimated first cost (revised in 1948) o $38,127,000 and $30,000 annually for maintenance and operation; (b) an expenditure toward the first cost of the proposed CherrY Valley reservoir or other suitable reservoirs in the Tuolumne Basin, in amount justified by proportionate benefits to flood con- trol, estimated at $6,200,000 for the equivalent of 320,000 acre-fee of storage at the Jacksonville Reservoir site; and (c) construction of channel improvement works and levee construction and recon' struction on San Joaquin River and tributary channels, at an estimated first cost to the United States (revised in 1948) o0 $4,005,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. R. Flood Control Committee Doc. 2, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) ."l Local cooperation.-(a) New Melones Reservoir (Stanisl' River): Payment, as determined by the Secretary of the Arn1 upon the basis of continuing studies by the Bureau of Reclamatiod e the Department of the Army, and local organizations, is to be mad" to the United States by the State or other responsible agenCY for the conservation storage when used. Local interests have in1 chas ted they will meet these requirements. The State of California ha officially adopted the project. (b) In Tuolumne Basin: Local in- terests are to construct, maintain, and operate the dams and reser voir, allocate storage for flood control and agree to operate s e storage in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed bY the FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2655 Secretary of the Army.

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 1I1 east 12 miles below Redmond. The section of Sevier River Valley this project extends from the crossing of United States Highway 89, near Salina, about 3 miles above Redmond, downstream to the head of Sevier Bridge Reservoir, a total distance of 25 miles. The ldrainage area above Redmond is 3,820 square miles. Upstream fron the section under consideration the basin consists of rugged Plateaus and mountains cut by narrow stream valleys. Between 2660 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Salina and the San Pitch River, the stream flows through a moun- tain 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 pub- lished map.) Local cooperation.-Localinterests 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 con- struction of the works; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; (c) construct the three new highway bridges and the irrigation flume required, eo tend and improve the two irrigation canals, extend the outlets Of the existing tile drainage system to the improved river channel, and construct the open drainage ditch at Redmond; and (d) Main- tain and operate all the works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. The above contribution has been made, and the required assurances furnished and accepted. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The cost of work during the year was $44,080.77, and the expenditures were $40 445.53, for new work, in completing the preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications for construction of the project works. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionwork on this proJp ect has not been started, but contract dated April 20, 1948 is in force, for completing the project. Final rights-of-way are ex pected to be obtained in July 1948. Total cost to date was $55 252.89 and expenditures were $51,838.14, for new work. 30, Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30 1948, amounting to $556,161.86, and an allotment of $125,000 made in July 1948, and a contribution of $48,000 made by loca interests, will be applied to payment of accounts payable, $3,414.'75 and to new work in contract construction of the project featur4es including levees, channel work and two diversion dams, July 194 through December 1948, completing the project.

SNAKE RIVER, OREG., WASH., AND IDAHO Location.-The Snake River, which is the largest tributary of Columbia River, rises in Yellowstone National Park, in the western part of Wyoming, flows in a general westerly direction for about 1,000 miles and empties into Columbia River near Pasco, Wash., 324 miles from the Pacific Ocean. (See U. S. Geological SurveY maps of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.) Previous projects.-No formal project for the improvement of Snake River was adopted by Congress prior to the act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1991 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1849 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the construction of such dams as are necessary and open channel improvement for purposes of providing 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 boul- ders and rock points and the construction of contraction works between Lewiston and Johnsons bar. No channel dimensions are RIVERS AND IARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2677 Specified above Lewiston. A system of four dams between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston has been approved. The esti- mated total cost, including the installation of 19 power units revised in 1947, is as follows: Dam 1, Ice Harbor, river mile 9.7---------------- ------ --- $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 mainten- ance of the originally authorized channel is $10,500. The estimated annual cost of operation and care of the four locks and dams revised in 1947 is $1,940,000. 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 II.

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. 'erminal 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 located at Penawawa, mile 91.5, Lewiston, mile 140, Asotin, mile 146, and between Asotin and 11 miles above. Just above Lewiston, mile 140.5, there is a privately owned 40- by 60- foot wharf. 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Engi- neering studies and recommendations resulted in the decision that lock size for each of the four dams will be 86 by 540 feet, single lift, that vertical lift gates will be used on the spillways, and that no public highway will cross any of the four dams. Field explora- tions of Ice Harbor Dam site were carried on by means of river Probing, core drilling, churn drilling, and sinking of two test pits in the north abutment. A river model of Ice Harbor Dam site was completed and hydraulically verified at the Bonneville Laboratory. 2678 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Design studies of the Ice Harbor Dam were carried to a point where decision as to types of structures can be made, except in the case of the north abutment where final design is pending coInple- tion of additional explorations. A topographic survey of Lower Monumental Dam site was completed. A hydrographic survey at this site was made during the spring freshet for later verification of the Lower Monumental model. A definite project report on real estate, railroad and highway relocations, and flowage was pre- pared in draft form. Maintenance: Removal of boulders and other obstructions from the channel between Lewiston and Johnsons bar was accomplished by Government plant and hired labor. Total costs, $359,779.63, for the fiscal year were as follows: Description of work New work Maintenance Site selection, lands, and damages (all dam sites) ...................... $34, 729. 64 .... ----.

Condition at end of fiscal year.-It is considered that the pre- viously authorized 5-foot channel between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston cannot be secured by open river improvement methods alone. A channel of less depth adequate for prevailingt commerce, estimated to cost $823,000, is approximately 34 percen complete. At this time no further work is contemplated under this channel improvement 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. Selection of the sites for the four dams has been approved, and a definite project for flowage is in draft form. Field explorations at Ice Harbor Dam site are about 85 percent complete, preparation of plans and specifications is approximately 30 percent complete, and construction of a river model has been completed. Total costs, $1,294,137.40, from Federal funds under the exist' ing project are as follows: Description of work New work Maintenance Open river improvement (previously authorized) ----...................... $281, 353.17 $193, 856.96 Site selection, lands, and damages, all dams--............------------................ 497, 939. 98 -------- Ice Harbor )amn (dams 1) .---------.............-----------------------------................................. 282, 560. 93- ..------- Lower Monumental Dam (dam 2) ...............--------------------..........------- --.............-38, 426. 36i -.---------- T'otal costs-------------------------------....................................................... 1, 100, 280. 44 193,856.96 Total expenditures have been $1,344,398.52.

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.) Previous project.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 10, 1872, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907. For further details, see page 1992 of Annual Report for 1915; page 1889 Annual Report for 1931; and page 1845, Annual Report for 1938. 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 RIVERS AND HIARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2681 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 341/2 feet at Umatilla. Freshets due to rains sometimes occur in the early winter, but rarely exceed a 9 -foot stage. Ice conditions, usually occurring in January or February, sometimes suspend navigation for 2 weeks or more. The Umatilla Dam authorized by River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, will, when completed, obviate the neces- Sity 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 1948 is $1,627,000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $120,000. The existing project was authorized by the following River and Harbor Acts: Acts Work authorized Documents . Apr. 8, 1935 Emergency Relief Appropriation Act; authorized the Aug, 1935 existing project as an emergency relief project. Rivers and HIarbors Committee Mau. 3 2 1935 Adopted existing project as a river and harbor project. I)oc. 16, 73d Cong., 2d sess.

Contains latest published maps. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides that for each of the Arlington and Kennewick channels local interests give assurance that they will construct a Suitable freight terminal, open to all on equal terms, and for the Iennewick channel that they furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the improvements and their subsequent maintenance, When and as required, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvements. Assur- ances of cooperation for work at Arlington were approved Decem- ber 29, 1947, but a suitable freight terminal has not yet been con- Structed. Terminal facilities.-There is one public wharf on this stretch of the river located at Pasco, Wash. (mile 127.2 above Celilo), and owned by the port of Pasco. A bulk grain elevator of 500,000- bushel capacity, with rail, truck, and water connections, is located adjacent to the wharf at Pasco. Other facilities for handling bulk grain from truck to river craft, but without rail connections, are as follows: Two private warehouses at Port Kelly (mile 110.6 above Celilo) with capacities of 40,000 and 44,000 bushels; a 2682 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 340,000-bushel elevator at Umatilla (mile 88 above Celilo); and a 40,000-bushel elevator at Blalock (mile 32 above Celilo). There are privately owned storage facilities for handling petroleum products with capacities and locations as follows: At Pasco, Wash. (mile 127.2 above Celilo), 5,000,000 gallons with rail connections; a Attalia (mile 117 above eClilo) 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 connections, and 6,300,000 gallons capacs ity with truck and water connections only. There is a railroad located on each bank of the river, but there is no physical connec- tion between the railroad and the river except as noted. The existing facilities are not considered adequate for the present corn- merce, but additional facilities are being provided as rapidly as economic conditions permit. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Excava- tion of a channel 6 feet deep from the channel in Columbia River to the site of the port development at Arlington, Oreg., was com- pleted by Government planetand hired labor. At Umatilla Shol (mile 87.7) a total of 325 cubic yards of rock heads and rock reefs was removed by Government plant and hired labor completing about 30 percent of the work at this location. Maintenance: Removal of gravel, boulders, and sand at locations in the existing channel, where surveys indicated shoaling, was done by Government plant and hired labor. A total of 25,315 cubiC yards of gravel and rock was removed. Hydrographic surveys o the channel were made as required. Total costs for the fiscal year were $174,452.17, of which $116,324.50 was for new work and $58,127.67 for maintenance' Expenditures were $175,746.54. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is approx10 mately 90 percent complete. The authorized 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 control- ling depth is 6 feet in a 75-foot channel and 5 feet in the 150-foot channel. The controlling depth between the foot of Umatilla Rapids and Wallula is 6 feet in a 100-foot channel through Umatilla Rapids. Between Wallula and the mouth of Snake River, the con" trolling depth is 5 feet for 100-foot width through Homly Rapids. Between the mouth of Snake River and Kennewick, the controlling depth is 6 feet in a channel 200 feet wide. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of excavation of the channel to project dimensions through the shoal at mile 87.7; channel rectification at Indian, Squally Hook, and Owyhee Rapids, and excavation of Kennewick Channel. No hydrographic surveys have been made since the disastrous flood of May and June 1948. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $1,970,822.35, of which $1,356,579.11 (including $400,000 Emergency Relief funds) was for new work and $614,243.24 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $1,972,109.42. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, including accounts receivable amounting to $15,377.65 plus an RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2683 allotment made in July of $80,000 for maintenance, a total of $95,377.65 will be applied as follows: New Work: Removal of rock and boulders at Umatilla Shoal mile 7 $11,505.32 M -by Government plant and hired labor--------------------- Dredging boulders, sand, and gravel, by Gov- ernment plant and hired labor, Aug. to Nov. 1948 ---------------------------------- $77,872.33 Iydrographic surveys 6,000.00 6,____----------------- Total maintenance-------------------------------- 83,872.33 Total all work...---------------------------------- 95,377.65 The additional sum of $120,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1950 as follows: Maintenance.

McNARY LOCK AND DAM, COLUMBIA RIVER, OREG. Location.-The site of this project is on the Columbia River, 29 miles above the mouth, near Umatilla, Oreg., and 3 miles above mouth of the Umatilla River. lant .Existing project.-This project includes a dam, power plga- navigation lock, and appurtenant facilities for purposes of navis d tion, power development, and incidental irrigation. The propos - improvement provides principally for the improvement of naViSto tion, creating a pool extending approximately 64 miles upstream t a point about 27 miles above Pasco, Wash. The dam, which in raise the normal water surface approximately 85 feet to elevatio 340 mean sea level, will be approximately 7,600 feet long and er' consist of an earth dam at the Oregon (south) abutment, a poWer house, a spillway dam, a navigation lock, and an earth dam at th Washington (north) abutment. Suitable facilities for migrating fish, including fish ladders, will be provided. The powerhouse installation will comprise 14 units of 70,000 kilowatts each, making a total installed capacity of 980,000 kilo. watts.the 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 aboe sea level will be surmounted by 22 spillway gates capable of re leasing the design flood of 2,200,000 cubic feet per second. Th deck will be at elevation 361 and will provide a service roadway and tracks for the operation of two gantry cranes. at The navigation lock will be a single lift type and will operate all flows less than 800,000 cubic feet per second. gble The pool created by the spillway dam will provide a navig a channel with depths of 12 feet and over, between McNary Darn te the confluence of the Yakima River, a distance of approxinate e 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-.at All structures will be founded on a massive basalt flow tha reaches a maximum thickness of 130 feet and directly overlies s sedimentary interbed.

The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor approved March 2, 1945. (See H. Doc. 704, 75th Cong., 3d SessAct Sess.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Temporary dormi- tory facilities, 162 temporary family quarters with appurtenant Utilities on the Oregon shore, and 53 temporary family quarters ith appurtenant utilities on the Washington shore were com- Pleted during the fiscal year. A temporary warehouse, motor re- Pair shops, and field office buildings were constructed for use in connection with the initial phase of the project. Access roads were constructed on both shores for construction activities. No perman- ent buildings have been constructed. Ferry facilities for the trans- Portation of construction personnel and equipment between the Oregon and the Washington shores were completed, and ferry service with Government operated equipment was inaugurated. The first step (north shore) cofferdam, consisting of 26 steel sheet Pile circular cells filled with gravel together with two rock fill shore egs, was completed on May 26, 1948. This cofferdam incloses the area for construction of the navigation lock, Washington shore fishways, and 131/2 bays of the spillway dam. Excavation for the navigation lock structure was essentially completed, and about half of the downstream lock approach channel was completed. Contract plans and specifications were completed for all con- Struction work within the first step cofferdam, consisting of navi- gation lock, 131/ bays of the spillway dam, and Washington shore ishways. The work was advertised, and bids called for July 20, 1948. 2686 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The lower end of the canal is about 4 miles and the lower end of the Threemile Rapids about 11/2 .iles above the Dalles, Oreg. t 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 nor- c al 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 8feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1908, was $4,45,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. T1 e estimate of annual cost of operation and care, made in 1948, is The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of MVarch 3,1905 (Annual Report, 1904, p. 3475). Operation and thre of the canal were included in the project July 1, 1935, under te provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act ap- froved June 26, 1934. For latest published map see Annual Report or 1915, page 3380. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. STerminal facilities.-There are two warehouses fronting on The ales-Celilo Canal, near the lower end, owned by private inter- tiets,With a combined capacity of 15,000 tons of wheat. The facili- es are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--The canal and locks ere in continuous operation during the fiscal year until May 23, 48, except for the following periods: 3:30 a. m. to 10 p. m. on fov.20, 8 a. m. on September 10 to 1 a.m. on September 12, and 4roml 8 a. m. on September 23 to 4:30 p.m. on September 24, 1947, hen the locks were closed to permit repairs to valves at Big Eddy 2690 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 lock. The canal was again closed to traffic at 9:30 p. m. on MaY 23, 1948, and remained closed, due to the extreme flood stage of Columbia River. This was the first closure of the canal due to flood stage of the river since 1933. The flood of 1948 reached a crest on May 31 of 27 feet at Celilo and remained above 25 feet until June 14. On June 30 the river stage at Celilo was 16 feet. The canal was designed to operate to a stage of 18 feet when it is drowned out. The river stages stated above refer to united States Engineer datum of low water at elevation 127.6. Due to the extreme flood stage of the river, heavy shoaling occurred i- the canal and locks; and considerable damage was done to facill' ties and grounds. Repair and extraordinary maintenance are esti mated, at this time, to cost approximately $93,000. The various items of maintenance and their costs were as fol lows: $58,27 Operation of locks and canal__-_ -- _--_-_- _ 2_ $58,264 Ordinary maintenance and repairs_____ 23,21640 Channel work: The U.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT BONNEVILLE, OREG. Location.-On the Columbia River, 42 miles east of Portland, treg., about 144 miles above the mouth of the river. For descrip- tion of the Columbia River see page 2736. 2692 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Existing project.-This project provides for a dam, power plant' and lock, for power and navigation. The spillway dam extend- across the main river channel from the Washington shore to rad- ford Island, which divides the river at this point. The overo~i crest at 24 feet above mean sea level is surmounted by 18 vertical lift steel gates placed between piers which extend to elevation 99 feet where a service roadway permits the operation of two 3 5 0 -to gantry cranes for regulating the gates. The powerhouse extending across Bradford slough to the Oreg00 shore has an installation of 10 units, consisting of 2 units of 4300 kilowatts each and 8 units of 54,000 kilowatts each totaling 518400 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 chan nel and the Bradford slough channel. The lock and powerhled are founded on andesite, and the main dam rests upon solidfiec sedimentary rock of volcanic origin. The pool created by the spill way dam provides a navigable channel, with depths of 30 feet and over, between Bonneville and Big Eddy, a distance of 47 mileS.

Work was started on the excavation for the lower mooring facilities for the navigation lock under a continuing contract. The construction of a public building On Bradford Island was started by contract. Work was performed by hired labor on miscellaneous items to complete the powerhouse. Construction of five four-unit court apartment buildings was advertised for bids at the end of the fiscal year. Operating and care: The existing project with ten power units Was operated throughout the fiscal year, except for minor interrup- tions and scheduled shut-downs for maintenance. The total power generated during the fiscal year amounted to 4,008,064,000 kilo- Watt-hours, of which 3,991,860,000 kilowatt-hours were delivered to the Bonneville Power Administration. The next to the highest flood of record occurred this year when a flow of approximately 1,016,000 cubic feet per second was recorded on May 31, as com- Pared to an estimated flow of 1,170,000 cubic feet per second in 1894. A check of the river gaging records and computations must be made before the exact peak flow for this year can be determined. The flow in the river at Bonneville was over 900,000 cubic feet per seconds from May 30 until June 16. The locks were closed to traffic owing to flood from 11:23 a. m.,May 28, to 4:35 p. m., June 17, 1948. The total cost of work done during the year amounted to $1,474,569.44, of which $372,185.74 was for new work, including $326,563.01 for features other than power installation and $45,622.73 for power features, and $1,102,383.70 for mainte- nance (operating and care), including $507,540.04 for power facili- ties. Total expenditures were $1,461,986.88, of which $1,415,372.58 Was for features other than power and $46,614.30 for power fea- tures. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 95 Percent completed. Power facilities: The powerhouse with ten power units is com- Pleted, except for miscellaneous work, and is in operation. The rated capacity of the plant is 518,400 kilowatts. 2694 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Navigation facilities: The navigation lock is completed, excePt for the construction of a guard wall, additional mooring facilities, and a fender to the lower miter gate, and has been open to river traffic since January 1933. Dam and reservoir: The spillway dam is completed, except for minor work, and is in operation. All work in connection with the reservoir is completed, except for the consummation of some set- tlements and land acquisition. Fishways: All fishladders, collecting systems, and locks are complete and in operation. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of the completion of miscellaneous items of work in the powerhouse and on the other project features. The total costs and expenditures of work done under emergenCY funds to the end of the fiscal year amounted to $32,440,700, all for new work. The total costs of the work done under regular funds to the end of the fiscal year amounted to $54,476,980.30, of which $48,588,046.86 was for new work and $5,888,933.44 for mainte- nance (operating and care). Total expenditures were $54,460,- 345.66. Total costs, all funds, to the end of the fiscal year amounted to $86,917,680.30, of which $81,028,746.86 ($38,739,686.04 for power facilities and $42,289,060.82 for other features of work) was for new work, and $5,888,933.44 for maintenance (operating and care), including $2,752,834.70 for operating and care of power facilities. Total expenditures were $86,901,045.66, of which $25,749,303.39 was for power installation only, units 3-10, and $61,151,742.27 for installation of power units 0-2, construction of all facilities other than power, operation, and maintenance. Financial status Bonneville Dam project and associated Bonnel ville Power Administration transmisssion.-The present finanCial status of Bonneville Dam project is of particular interest. The power generated is sold by the Bonneville Power Administration through a transmission network serving both Bonneville and Grand Coulee Dams. For purposes of this analysis operating revenues have been allocated to the two projects in proportion to the amouflt of electrical energy produced for Bonneville Power Administration by the generating plants. While such generation does not represent the entire energy supply to the Administration, in view of exchange arrangements with other systems, it accounts for the bulk of it and is considered a reasonably satisfactory basis for such an allocation under present conditions. Financial requirements include all costs of the Bonneville Damn project allocated to power, a proportionate part of the total costs of the transmission system of the Bonneville Power Administra- tion and payments to the reclamation fund on account of benefits to Bonneville Dam power production by reason of storage in Grand Coulee Reservoir, although this latter item is an interagencY transaction and not an actual expense. Costs include, for both the dam and the transmission system, the operation and maintenance expenses, interest at 21/2 percent as adopted by the Bonneville RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2695 Power Administration, and amortization of the construction costs, including replacements, allocated to power over a 50-year period. The transmission system costs have been allocated in the same proportion as operating revenues.

It may be seen, therefore, that this project is on a highly satis- factory financial basis. Proceeds from power sales, at very low rates, are returning to the Treasury not only all power costs of the Project itself and associated transmission lines but also large sur- Plus revenues, over and above interest, amortization, and other Proper charges, totaling $2,112,130 for fiscal year 1948 alone.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides in connection with the Camas-Washougal turnl'& basin that local interests furnish assurances that they will co"d struct a suitable freight terminal, open to all on equal terms, al, bear additional cost of disposing of dredged material behind bulkl heads provided by them; and provides that no dredging will d performed by the United States within 50 feet of the propos dock. The act of July 24, 1946, provides that for improvements at o River, Oreg., and at Bingen, Wash., local interests furnish free to cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way, agree, maintain depths in the basins, and to construct, operate, and M 1 tain necessary mooring facilities and public wharf available to a on equal terms. For The Dalles, the act of July 24, 1946, provide1 that local interests (a) furnish free of cost to the United States lands, easements, and rights-of-way required for new work, e t suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work, and for subseque* maintenance when and as required, (b) provide necessary bulk heads, and (c) agree to construct, maintain, and operate with-i RIVERS AND HIARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2703 the basin suitable moorages and a public landing with adequate SUPply facilities, open to all on equal terms. Assurances have not Yet been requested. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal facilities at present available or suitable for ocean vessels on the stretch of the river Ander the project are at Vancouver, Wash., and The Dalles, Oreg. At Vancouver, Wash., there are two municipal wharves, also pri- for shipment of lumber and other commod- iately owned wharves ofties and a privately owned grain elevator and wharf. The port at Camas-Washougal has constructed a wharf 528 feet in vessels length SWashougal, Wash. which will be available for ocean hen an adequate entrance channel is provided. At the port of The Dalles (mile 44 above Bonneville) there is a ,municipal wharf 125 by 1,100 feet for use of both ocean vessels and river boats. There are two one-story timber and corrugated-iron tiarehouses , each 94 by 461 feet, on this wharf with rail connec- cres. There is also a municipal oil terminal consisting of a con- Crete and timber wharf, 27 by 193 feet, located about with a mile below the main wharf. There are private storage tanks a total eaDacity of 2,300,000 gallons located near this terminal for han- dling petroleum products from ocean vessels and river boats. Wtorage tanks have rail and truck connections. A private elevator lth a capacity of 40,000 bushels and a public elevator of 868,000 aushels capacity for handling bulk grain to ocean or river craft tre also located at The Dalles. The public elevator has rail and truck connections. There is a privately owned rail connection about hree-fourths mile below the municipal wharf where certain types f cargo may be handled between railroad cars and river boats or barges, by means of a derrick of 22-ton capacity. The facilities are nsidered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work : The re- mOVal of rock at mile 16 was completed and at mile 10, 60 percent completed during the year.

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- la River about 100 miles from the sea. Its length from the source of the middle fork is about 294 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geo- detic Survey Chart No. 6155 and the U. S. Geological Survey map, State of Oregon.) The Yamhill River rises in the Coast Range, flows easterly, and empties into the Willamette River about 42 miles above Portland. Its length from the source of the south fork is about 52 miles. Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1871, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1997 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1754 of Annual Report for 1938. .Existing project.-This provides for improvement of Willamette iver 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 ' or such channel improvement and contraction 2706 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 or 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 sec- tion of Willamette River in the vicinity of Willamette Falls at Ore- gon City is covered by a project described on page 2709 of this report. The following table shows the principal features of the lock and dam in Yamhill River: Location 11/ 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 ordin- ary 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 e%- treme 48 feet. Tidal changes vary from about 212 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 (1948) approved estimate of annual cost of main tenance is $547,000 including $15,000 for operations and care the lock and dam in Yamhill River.

Expenditures were $430,166.29. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 61 per- cent complete. The 8-foot channel between Portland and Oregon City and the 21/- to 3 1/-foot channel between Oregon City and Albany were completed in 1939. The 212- to 32-foot channel be- tWeen 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 3/ feet from Oregon City to Corvallis. On the Yamhill River, the available de th is 4 feet from the mouth to Yamhill Lock, and 2 feet fro 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. The grounds are used to a considerable extent for recreational purposes. Total costs under the existing project, from Federal funds, have been $5,119,210.78, of which $615,169.74 was for new work, $4,- 435,089.27 for maintenance, and $68,951.77 for operation and care. Expenditures have been $5,136,223.19. In addition, the sum of 2708 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 $106,433.23 was expended between September 24, 1900, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for suc purposes.

COLUMBIA AND LOWER WILLAMETTE RIVERS BELOW VAN- COUVER, WASH., AND PORTLAND, OREG. Location.--This project embraces 103/ miles of Columbia River below Vancouver, Wash., and 14 miles of Willamette River below Portland, Oreg. For description of Columbia River see page 2736 and of Willamette River, page 2705. Previous project.-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 Bridge at Portland 12 miles; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide from Broadway Bridge to Ross Island, 14 miles above the mouth of Willamette River, to be maintained by the port of Port- land; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the Columbia River from the mouth of the Willamette River to the interstate highway bridge at Vancouver, Wash., about 5 miles, with two turning basins of Same depth at Vancouver, 800 feet wide and approximately 2,000 and 3,000 feet long for the upper and lower basins, respectively, and auxiliary channels 10 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the vicinity of Cathlamet, Wash., 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in St. Helens (Oreg.) Channel, and 30 feet deep and 500 feet wide connecting the Upper end of the St. Helens Channel with the main ship channel of the Columbia; 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide along the frontage of the town of Rainier, Oreg., extended at its upper and lower ends to deep water in the Columbia River, 8 feet deep and 150 feet wide from this depth in Columbia River through the old mouth of Cow- litz River to a point approximately 3,000 feet upstream from the Present terminus of the harbor line; and a channel from the Long- View Port dock downstream along the pierhead line and past the eerhaeuser 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 exceed 35 feet depth at low water, over such areas in the project channel of the Willamette River between its mouth and the BroadwayBridge, Portland, as have been dredged 2714 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 under the existing project by the port of Portland, no dredging to be done within 50 feet of the pierhead lines. The plane of reference in the estuary from the mouth to Harrington Point, is mean loWer low water; thence, to Portland and Vancouver, low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth of the Columbia is about 8 feet, and at Portland and Vancouver about 212 feet at low stages of the rivers1 Extreme tidal ranges are about 13 and 3 feet, respectively. Annual freshets have but little effect on depths at the mouth of the Colurn' bia; at Portland and Vancouver they average about 20 feet, while the highest known reached a stage of 33 feet above low water. The estimate of cost for new work, exclusive of amounts ex- pended on previous projects and exclusive of contributed funds in the amount of $150,316.99, revised in 1948, is $5,503,000, including the dike construction authorized in 1912 and 1922, and for a chan nel 35 feet deep by 500 feet wide, but not including $2,500 contribu- ted toward the auxiliary channel at Ranier, the work contributed by the port of Portland, nor the estimate of $750,000 for a ne 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 (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,459,000.

The River and Harbor Act approved tarch 2, 1945, provides under modifications therein authorized that local interests furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements and rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas neces- sary for the improvements and their subsequent maintenance when and as required, hold and save the United States free from claims fr damages resulting from the improvements; and dredge and maintain to a depth of at least 28 feet the area abutting the pro- Posed channel opposite the wharf of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. at :Longview, ash. The Act of July 24, 1946, authorizing the construction of a small-boat mooring basin at Astoria, Oreg., pro- vides 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 facilities within the basin, sewers, water and electric supply lines, and a Public, landing with suitable supply facilities open to all on equal terms, Assurances for the small boat basin at Astoria were approved November 4, 1947, but have not been requested in connection with Work at Longview or old mouth of Cowlitz River. 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 caPacity 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 1 00-ton capacity on municipal terminal 1 and one of 150-ton capac- ity 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 Shipment of canned salmon, lumber, and flour, and for the receiving of coal, oil, and general merchandise. At Vancouver, Wash., there are two municipal terminal wharves. There are also privately owned wharves for shipment of lumber and other commodities and a privately owned grain elevator and Wharf. At Kalama, Wash., there is a municipal wharf for shipment of lumber, and a heavy lift of 100-ton capacity. 804711-48-Vol. 2-77 2716 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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. and At other small towns on the Columbia River between Portlan and Astoria there are sufficient private facilities to accommodate the river steamers, and at seven points there are large sawnilm docks used entirely for the shipment of lumber in ocean-going car- riers. These facilities, with the planned extensions, are considered ade- quate for the present needs of commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 11, Corps of Engineers.) Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work: Contract plans and specifications for the construction of the small boat moor- ing basin at Astoria, Oreg., were completed and the work adver- tised for bids. Maintenance: Maintenance dredging with Government plant and hired labor was done on all bars and in channels where surveys indicated shoaling. Depths sufficient for present navigation were maintained in Columbia River from the mouth to Vancouver and i Willamette River from the mouth to Portland. A total of 8,762,489 cubic yards of material was removed from 30 bars at a cost ol $969,323.56. The repair of 22 dikes was completed during the fiscal year at a cost of $40,813.42. IIydrographic surveys were continued during the year at a cost of $62,415.61. Total costs for the fiscal year were $1,081,201.77, of which $8,649.18 was for new work and $1,072,552.59 for maintenance' Expenditures were $1,386,464.06. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 88 per cent complete. The channel project was completed in 1933, excePt that a revision at Harrington Point was made in 1935. The dikes were completed in 1935 and the extension of the Vancouver turning basin in 1939. Of the 145 dikes constructed on this project, 13 were repaired in 1946 and 1947 and 22 during the fiscal year 1948. The disastrous flood of May andd June 1948 reached a stage of 31 feet on the Vancouver gage and 29.4 feet on the Portland gage on June 1 and remained within a few tenths of that stage for the following weeks. Indications are that extensive shoaling is occurring as a result of the flood. Facilities at the United States mooring at Linnton, Oreg., on the Willamette River were inundated; and flood-control levees on t Columbia and the lower Willamette Rivers have suffered extensive damage. Vessel traffic on the lower Willamette and lower Columbia Rivers was prohibited during the period from 10 a.m. on June 1 to 9:30 on June 8, when the river was opened to limited traffic. The order limiting traffic was issued to prevent wave action adding de- structive effect to the weakened and softened levees and remained in effect until July 6, 1948. The peak flow of the Columbia River, recorded at Bonneville, Oreg., was approximately 1,000,000 cubic feet per second on June 1, 1948, and remained within a few thousand feet under that crest flow for the following 2 weeks. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2717 At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depth in Columbia River between the mouth and Vancouver, Wash., was 30 feet at low water (except on five bars where shoaling had reduced depths to 26 feet at Miller sands, 27 feet at Slaughters bar, 25 feet at Dobelbower bar, 29 feet at Walker Island bar, and 13 feet at Van- couver bar) and 27 feet in the lower turning basin. The controlling depth in the Willamette River is 32 feet to mile 5.7 thence 27 feet to the Broadway Bridge. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of fonstructing 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 mooring basin at Astoria, Oreg.

The tidal range between mean lower low lWater 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 (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $4,000. The existing project was authorized by the Public Works Ad- f inistration 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 proj- ect 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 foot frontage. The St. ielens cresoting plant at the mouth of Scappoose Bay on Multno- tnah Channel has a mooring place for tankers of moderate draft. Near the south end of the channel the quay wharf of the B. F. John- son Lumber Co., 300 feet in length, is the only terminal used for nmaking ocean shipments. Other facilities on the channel consist of extensive log booms parallel with the banks in several places, and used for the rafting and temporary storage of logs. All the existing facilities are privately owned and are sufficient for the present traffic. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- Ileted in 1935. The controlling depth in the channel for a width of 250 feet at the south end is 17 feet and for a width of 300 feet at the north end is 25 feet, at low water. Depths in the remainder of the channel vary from 8 to 50 feet. In this stretch of the channel, snags and sunken logs have accumulated and should be removed for Safe navigation. Channel depths are sufficient for existing naviga- tion. 2720 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Total costs and expenditures have been $18,173.61, of which $18,112.28 was for new work from Public Works funds and $61.33 for maintenance from regular funds. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1949.

LAKE RIVER, WASH. Location.-This river, located in Clark County, Wash., is the out- let of Vancouver Lake, located about 2 miles northwest of Van- couver, Wash. The stream flows in a northerly direction for about 11 miles and empties into the Columbia River about 88 miles above the mouth. (See map of Columbia National Forest, U. S. Forest Service, 1935, and U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6154.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 6 feet deep at low water and 100 feet wide from the mouth of the river to Ridgefield (3 miles). The mean tidal range between mean lower low and mean higher high waters at the mouth of the river is 3 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1930, was $3,000. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,000. 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 Department dated May 10, 1930, pursuant to the Commerce Committee resolution of February 22, 1930. Terminal facilities.-There are four timber wharves on Lake River. These are at Ridgefield, 2 l, 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 com- merce. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2721 Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1931. There is a shoal at the mouth of the river.

(See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey 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 vari- ation of water level due to tides or freshets is about 12 feet. Dur- ing 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 (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $4,800. 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 general freight and passenger purposes, and these are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was completed in 1920. The channel is in fair condition. No surveys have been made since 1943. Local interests and towboat operators have reported that depths of less that 4 feet are available in the channel and that there is an accumulation of snags and sunken logs. Total costs and expenditures have been $31,743.57, of which $2,400 was for new work and $29,343.57 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1949.

(See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for the removal of snags and other obstructions from the channel and overhanging trees from the banks between the mouth and the town of Grays River, 8 miles above. The tidal range at the mouth between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme range is about 13 feet. 2728 REPORT OF CIIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1907, was $2,500. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $4,000. 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 col- 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 mile 6.5 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 for new work and $4,802.29 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is contemplated during the fiscal year 1949.

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/ miles across Youngs Bay and 4 miles in Youngs River. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and extreme tidal range about 13 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1932, is $5,000. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $3,000. he 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, 2730 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 which it operates in connection with its power plant, located about one-half mile below the highway bridge across the upper end of Youngs Bay. Above this highway bridge there is a small privately owned wharf, used in connection with the handling of quarry stone by barges. There is also a fish-receiving wharf and warehouse on the Astoria side of Youngs Bay, located just above the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad bridge, and a log dump on the south side of Youngs Bay, just above the highway bridge. The existing terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No maintenance work was done or surveys made during fiscal year. Total costs and expenditures were $3.91. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was corn- pleted 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. Total costs and expenditures have been $9,606.36, of which $9,* 347.51 was for new work and $258.85 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, amounting to $460.22 will be applied to maintenance surveys. No funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950.

Local cooperation.-Requirements contained in River and Har- bor Acts of July 3, 1930, and August 26, 1937, have been fully com- plied with. The River and Harbor Act approved June 30, 1948, Public Law 858, provides in connection with the mooring basin that before construction is initiated, responsible local interest give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will (a) pro- Vide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project and subsequent maintenance thereof, (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction work, (c)main- tain project depth in the basin after completion, and (d) construct, maintain and operate the necessary mooring facilities and utilities Within the basin, including a public landing with suitable supply facilities, all of which shall be open to all on equal terms. 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 30 0-foot frontage open to the public. One privately owned lumber mill wharf with 800-foot frontage is used for loading lumber ship- flents. One privately owned cannery wharf with 300-foot frontage is used for unloading fish, loading and unloading nets. One pri- Vately owned boat yard has floats and moorage facilities for a maximum of 80 small boats. In the channel above the railroad bridge the facilities are the log dumps used by log trucks. These facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dred- ging of the channel between the mouth and the railroad bridge, restoring project depth of 30 feet, was completed in April 1948. A total of 312,650 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost 4 8 0 711-48-Vol. 2-78 2732 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 of $25,938.99. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $2,- 119.82. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $28,058.81. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Dredging of the channel and turning basin was completed in 1930. The channel between the mouth and the railroad bridge at mile 2 is in good condition with a controlling depth of 30 feet. The controlling depth in the turning basin is 10 feet. There are no recent surveys above the railroad bridge. No work has been done on the project modification con- tained in River and Harbor Act approved June 30, 1948, which pro- vides for the construction of a mooring basin 12 feet deep at mean lower low water at Warrenton, Oreg. The project is 70 percent complete. Total costs and expenditures have been $372,629.80, of which $130,119.35 was for new work and $242,510.45 for maintenance.

COLUMBIA RIVER BETWEEN CHINOOK, WASH., AND THE HEAD OF SAND ISLAND Location.-At the easterly end of Bakers (Baker) Bay, which is on the north side of the Columbia River near its mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 8 feet deep and 150 feet wide, extending from the head of Sand Island to Chinook, Wash., a distance of about 4,000 feet, and the reinforcement and future maintenance of the existing pile and timber breakwater at Chinook. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high Water is about 8 feet and the extreme tidal range about 13 feet. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1938, was $25,000. The latest (1948) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $18,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act 7 of June 20, 1938 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 50, 5th Cong., 2d session.). The latest published map is in this docu- mRent. 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.-Maintenance dredg- ing in the channel was completed in May 1948 restoring project depth of 8 feet. A total of,125,770 cubic yards of material was re- mRoved at a cost of $11,687.87. Surveys were made at a cost of $402.63. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $12,090.50, all for maintenance. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- Pleted in 1940. Repairs to the breakwater were completed in 1939 and the channel dredging in 1940. The channel is in good condition and the controlling depth is 8 feet.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT BAKER BAY, WASH. Location.-Baker Bay is a shallow body of water about 15 square miles in extent lying on the north side of the Columbia River near its mouth. The bay is separated from the river by Sand Island, a low-lying sand bar only a few feet above high-tide level. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project.-This provides for a main channel 10 feet deep and 200 feet wide extending through the easterly passage at Sand Island to the port of Ilwaco, a distance of about 5 miles, and for a west channel 8 feet deep and 200 feet wide for a distance of 2,000 feet at the southerly end, thence 150 feet wide, extending from deep water in the Columbia River to the main channel near Ilwaco, a total distance of about 3 miles. Mean lower low water is'the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme about 13 feet. The approved estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948 to include the west channel, is $408,600. The latest (1948) approved estimate of annual maintenance for the two channels is $80,500. 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 docu- ments. 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., I)ISTRICT 2735 Wharves, floats, ramps, and berths for oil barges and oil boats. The facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Dredging of the west channel was initiated in May 1948 and was 78 percent completed during the year. A total of 292,160 cubic yards of ma- terial was removed at a cost of $66,827.01. Plans and specifications for construction of dikes for the west channel were prepared at a cost of $2,419.11, and hydrographic surveys in connection with the west channel construction were made at a cost of $2,933.38. Maintenance: Dredging in the easterly channel was completed, and a total of 106,400 cubic yards of material was remoyed at a cost of $10,421.16. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $2,727.65. Total costs for the fiscal year were $86,067.96, of which $72,- 919.15 was for new work and $13,148.81 for maintenance. Expen- ditures were $87,378.74. . Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 37 per- cent complete. The channel extending through the easterly passage at Sand Island was completed in 1934. The west channel, extend- ing from deep water in Columbia River to the main channel near Ilwaco, was partially completed with military funds during June 1943 and August 1944. Dredging operations were resumed in May 1948 with project funds. Construction work has been started on the dikes in connection with the west channel. The controlling depth of the channel easterly from Ilwaco is 10 feet. Total costs have been $286,674.86, of which $151,496.62 was for new work and $135,178.24 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $287,985.64.

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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2737 Pacific Ocean 645 miles north of San Francisco Bay and 160 miles south of the Straits of Juan de Fuca. The total length of the river is 1,210 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5902, 6151, 6152, 6153, 6154, 6155, and 6156; also Geological Sur- vey map of Washington.) Previous project.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884. For further details see page 1999 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1740 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel across the bar 40 feet deep at mean lower low water and of suitable width (not less than one-half miles), to be secured by dredging and by converging rubble-mound jetties, the south jetty being about 7 miles and the north jetty about 21I/2 miles long, terminating 2 miles north of the end of the south jetty. Mean lower low water is the plane of refer- ence. The tidal range on the bar between mean lower low water and raean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme tidal range is about 13 feet. The estimate of cost for new work was as follows: For the south Jetty extension revised in 1909, $8,014,164; for the north jetty, re- Vised 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 (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $336,000 except for the repairs to jetties. 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 construction of the north jetty, and dredging (H. Doc. 94, 56th Cong., 1st sess., and Annual Report for 1903. p. 2275). The con- struction of the north jetty was approved July, 29, 1910, and a modification of its alignment December 27, 1913. The latest pub- lished map is in the Annual Report for 1921 opposite page 1868. Local cooperation.-The existing project contains no conditions requiring local cooperation. However, during 1914 the port of Portland contributed $475,000 and the port of Astoria $25,000 to this improvement. These amounts have been expended, the greater Part having been applied to the purchase of stone for the north jetty. Terminal facilities.-Forterminal and transfer facilities see re- Port on Columbia and Lower Willamette Rivers. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Additional repairs to jetty "A" were initiated in April 1948, and a total of 21,540 tons of stone was placed at a cost of $104,530.71. Maintenance dredging on Clatsop Spit removed a total of 1,030,178 cubic yards of material at a cost of $110,456.71. Repairs to sand fences were continued at a cost of $4,080.52. Repairs to the Sand Island revetments were made at a cost of $1,236.10. Hydrographic surveys of the bar and entrance channel were made at a cost of $8,119.95. Adjustments were made to 1947 jetty "A" repair work. Total costs for the fiscal year were $327,780.52. Expenditures were $318,974.02. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1918. The north and the south jetties are in good condi- 2738 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 tion, and repair to jetty "A" is approximately 71 percent complete. Storms have damaged the enrockment on Sand Island and have broken through the narrow portion of the island about two miles from the east end. A survey of July 1947 showed a controlling depth of 44 feet on the bar, and a survey made in May 1948 showed a controlling depth of 36 feet on the right half and 40 feet on the left half of the channel at Clatsop Spit. Surveys have not been made since the flood of May and June 1948. ' Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been. $21,932,941.07, of which $11,357,506.35 was for new work and $10,575,434.72 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $21,- 926,506.42. .In addition $475,000 and $25,000 were contributed by the ports of Portland and Astoria, respectively, and expended for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, in- cluding accounts receivable, amounting to $104,516.38, plus an allotment made in July 1948 of $535,000.00, a total of $639,516.38, will be applied to maintenance as follows: Accounts payable-----------------_ $9,845.65 Dredging entrance channel to Clatsop Spit, by seagoing hopper dredge, about 3 months, July to October 1948-__------ _____- 180,000.00 Repairs to jetty "A," by existing contract, July and August 1948 164,670.73 Repairs to Sand Island revetments, by contract, April to June 1949 268,000.00 Maintenance and repair of offices and warehouses, by hired labor, during fiscal year-------------- Hydrographic surveys ------------. ----------------------- _--.--. .--------- 5,000.00 12,000.00 Total -------------------------------------------- 639,516.38 The additional sum of $902,000.00 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for maintenance as follows: Dredging entrance channel at Clatsop Spit, by seagoing hopper dredge, about 3 months -------------------------------------- $153,000 Additional repairs to jetty "A," by contract------------------ 125,000 Repairs to Sand Island revetments, by contract ----------------- 600,000 Maintenance of office and warehouses at Fort Stevens, Oreg. 10,000 Hydrographic surveys- - -14,000 Total------- _---------------------------------------_ 902,000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948______________________ $13,343,759.49 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948----------------------- 10,575,434.72 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948 . -------. 23,919,194.21 Plus accounts receivable, June 30, 1948---------------------- 3,411.00 Gross total costs to June 30, 1948 _---.---- ---- 23,922,605.21 Minus accounts payable, June 30, 1948---------------------- 9,845.65 Net total expenditures------------------------------------- 23,912,759.56 Unexpended balance, June 30, 1948--------------------- 101105.38 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1948 ----------- 24,013,864.94 1 In addition, $500,000 was expended from contributed funds 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.) Previousproject.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of August 11, 1888, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1989 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1474 of Annual Report for 1936. Existing project.-This provides for a jetty about 5,700 feet long on the north side of the entrance; for a channel through the bar 18 feet deep and of such width as can be practically and economically obtained; for a channel 200 feet wide and 18 feet deep from deep water in the bay to Miami Cove; for initial dredg- ing of a small-boat basin and an approach thereto at Garibaldi, Oregon, to a depth of 12 feet; for a channel to Hobsonville, 200 feet wide and 16 feet deep, with a turning basin 500 wide at Hob- Sonville, and regulating works as needed. 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 1948 to include cost of Garibaldi small-boat basin is $688,450, exclusive of contri- buted funds. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $28,000 for entrance and bay channels. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 2740 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Doc.650, 80th Cong., 1st sess. Oreg., to a depth of 12 feet. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved June 30, 1948, in connection with the authorization of small-boat basin at Garibaldi provides, (a) that local interests furnish all necessary easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas, both for neWv work and maintenance, and (b) agree to maintain necessary depths in the mooring basin proper, to construct, maintain, and operate necessary mooring facilities and utilities within the basin, in- cluding a public landing with suitable supply facilities, open to all on equal and equitable terms, and (c) to hold and save the United States free from any claim for damages which might result from execution of the work. The River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1925, provides that no work is to be done in the Hobsonville Channel until assurance is given that a mill of substantial capacity will be erected in the vicinity of Hobsonville. This condition has not been complied with. All other prescribed conditions of local cooperation have been fully complied with except for requirements for Garibaldi Channel. 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 present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Hydrographic sur- veys were made during June 1948. Total costs for the fiscal year were $47.81, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $296.81. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 94 per- cent complete. The jetty was completed in 1933 and is in poor condition with the outer 800 feet below low water level. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of dredg- ing the Hobsonville channel and turning basin, which work will not be done until navigation requires deeper water. No surveys have been made since July 1946. No work has been done on the dredging of the small boat basin and approach channel to Garibaldi. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $1,466,762.07, of which $574,446.78 was for new work and $892,315.29 for maintenance. Total expenditures have been $1,467,011.07. In addition, $398,832.70 was expended for new work and $6,450.00 for maintenance from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, RIVERS AND IARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2741 including accounts receivable amounting to $2,952.19 plus an al- lotment received in July 1948 of $4,000 for maintenance, a total of $6,952.19 will be applied to hydrographic surveys for mainten- ance.

YAQUINA RIVER, OREG. Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range, flows about 50 miles in a westerly direction, and empties into Yaquina Bay, on the Oregon coast. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6058 and 5802.) Existing project.-This provides for two controlling half-tide dikes of piling, brush, and stone, each about 1,100 feet long (con- structed by local interests) and for a channel 10 feet deep and generally 150 feet wide in Yaquina River and 200 feet wide in 2746 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Depot slough, extending from the town of Yaquina to Toledo, about 9 miles. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the extreme tidal ranges under ordinary conditions at the mouth of the river are 8.1 feet and about 12 feet, and the same at Toledo. Freshet heights are about 12 feet at the mouth of Depot slough. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1911, was $72,000, including $43,200 contributed by local interests. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Doc. 519, 62d Cong., 2d sess.). The latest pub- lished map is in that document. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-At Yaquina, at the mouth of the river, which is also the head of the bay, there is a small wharf of about 50 foot 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 foot frontage on Depot slough built to accommodate small motorboats. There are also at Toledo two privately owned slips having special facilities for trans- ferring lumber to lighters. These terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Total costs and expenditures were $19.17, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was coin- pleted in 1914. No recent surveys have been made, but shoaling and an accumulation of snags have been reported by towboat op- erators. Total costs and expenditures have been $105,349.84, of which $28,800 was for new work and $76,549.84 for maintenance. In addition $43,200 for new work and $3,000 for maintenance were expended from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, amounting to $49.57 plus an allotment received in July 1948 of $5,000, a total of $5,049.57, will be applied to hydrographic surveYS.

YAQUINA BAY AND HARBOR, OREG. Location.-This bay is located on the Oregon coast, 115 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 6058.) Previousprojects.-The River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880, Provided for the improvement of the entrance. Subsequent proj- ects were adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 3, 1896, June 6, 1900, and March 3, 1905. For further details see the Annual Report for 1893, part 4, page 3314, House Document 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 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. 1Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher 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 mainten- ance dredging in the bay and entrance is $87,500. 804711-48-Vol. 2-79 2748 REPOET OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 .... The latest (1937) approved estimate of cost for maintenance of the north jetty is $12,000 annually to be applied at intervals of several years. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of the south jetty. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 14, 1880 ..

Local cooperation.-All requirements of local cooperation for work authorized prior to 1945 have been fully complied with. The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides that local interests furnish assurances that they will provide adequate ter- minal facilities open to all on equal and equitable terms, furnish free of cost to the United States all spoil-disposal areas necessary for the improvements and their subsequent maintenance, when and as- required, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvements. 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 suitable supply facilities open to all on equal terms; and hold and save the United States free from damages due to the improvement. Assurances were approved November 14, 1947, but mooring facilities have not been con- structed within the basin. 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work: Dredging of the channel from a point 1,000 feet above the highway bridge to the upper end of and including the turning basin opposite McLean RIVERS AND IIARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2749 Point was approximately 75 percent completed, by contract. This section of the channel was completed to project depth of 20 feet and project width of 300 feet. The turning basin was 55 percent completed. Construction of a pile, timber, and stone breakwater and a shore wing for the small boat basin at Newport, initiated by contract on April 15, 1948, was about 50 percent completed. Maintenance: Hydrographic surveys were made during June 1948. Total costs for the fiscal year were $223,789.15, of which $221,635.53 was for new work and $2,153.62 for maintenance. Expenditures were $150,838.68. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 84 per- cent complete. Restoration of the present jetties was completed in 1934 and the extension to the north jetty in 1940. Both jetties are in good condition. The main channel from a point 1,000 feet above the highway bridge to the upper end of the turning basin OPPosite McLean Point has been completed, and dredging of the turning basin is 75 percent complete. Construction of the break- Water and the shore wing, initiated by contract on April 15, 1948, is 50 percent complete. The controlling depth is 16 feet on the entrance range and between the jetties, 18 feet from the entrance to the highway bridge, thence 20 feet in the channel along the south side of the bay to the upper end of the turning basin. No recent surveys have been made above the turning basin. The con- trolling depth in the channel around the north side of the bay from the highway bridge to mile 2.8 is 13 feet. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $2,722,986.33 of which $1,867,224.83 was for new work and $855,761.50 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $2,649,- 957.04. In addition $729,168.48 was expended for new work from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, including accounts receivable, amounting to $313,297.12 plus allot- ments received in July 1948 of $109,400. for new work and $46,000 for maintenance, a total of $468,697.12 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable-._------------------------------------- $74,086.27 New work: Complete excavation of 20-foot channel and turning basin along southerly side of Yaquina Bay from a point about 1,000 feet above highway bridge to and including turning basin by existing contract ------------------------------- 72,000.00 Complete construction of a pile, timber, and stone break- water and shore wing for small boat basin at Newport by existing contract ---------------------------------------- 148,000.00 Dredging channel across entrance bar and between jetties to a depth of 26 feet, by Government plant or by contract__- 42,000.00 Dredging small boat basin, by Government plant or by contract ------------------------------------------- 75,000.00 Hydrographic surveys ------------------------------- 10,764.47 Total new work.. ---------------------------------- 347,764.47 Maintenance: Operation of a seagoing hopper dredge on the bar and bay channel about one month May 1949--------------------- 40,846.38 Hydrographic surveys -------------------------------------- 6,000.00 Total maintenance---.......---------------------- --------- 46,846.38 Total all work-----...... ------------------------------- 468,697.12 2750 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Location.-This river rises in the Coast Range in southern Oregon, flows about 40 miles in a general westerly direction to join Umpqua River opposite Reedsport, about 11 river miles from the Ocean. The course of the river meanders to such an extent that its total length is about 70 miles. The lower 23 miles is tidal. The section of the river included in this project is the lower 20.8 miles. The head of navigation is Sulphur Springs Landing, mile 20.8. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6004.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 6 feet deep at mean lower- low water and 100 feet wide from the mouth of the river to the mouth of North Fork, and thence 4 feet deep at mean lower low water and 75 feet wide to Sulphur Springs Landing with a passing place 125 feet wide and 800 feet long in the vicinity of the mouth of North Fork. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The average range of the tide at the mouth is about 7 feet between higher high water and lower low water and at the head of navigation (mile 20.8) the tidal range is about 4 feet. The estimate of cost for new work made in 1946 is $106,000. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of mainten- ance is $11,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved June 30, 1948. (S. Doc. 94, 80th Cong. 1st sess.) The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved June 30, 1948, requires that local interest agree to (a) furnish without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way and Spoils-disposal areas for the new work and subsequent mainten- ance when and as required, (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of the improvement and (c) construct and maintain terminal facilities as may be necessary to meet the needs of commerce, open to all on equal terms. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal facilities on Smith River are privately owned landing floats. In the lower portion of the river there are several booms and rafting grounds for the collection of logs for subsequent movement to mills down stream. Ample space exists along the lower sections of the river for the development of terminal sites, should their need arise. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-No work has been done. Proposed operations. -No funds are available and no work is contemplated during the fiscal years 1949 and 1950.

Location.-This river rises in the Cascade Range, flows west" erly 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 highwater 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 12 feet deep and 100 feet wide from deep water in the river to the vicinity of the docks in Winchester Bay with a moor- ing and turning basin 12 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 1948, is $2,701,200, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and $276,500 contributed by local interests. The latest 1948 approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $174,500, excluding jetty main- tenance.

RIVERS AND IHARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2753 Local cooperation.-Requirements of local cooperation for all Work authorized prior to 1945 have been fully complied with and approved. Under the provisions of River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, State or other local interest are required, for the Winches- ter Bay channel, to furnish free of cost to the United States suit- able areas for spoil disposal for initial work and subsequent main- tenance, when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improve- ments; construct, maintain, and operate suitable public terminal and mooring facilities with essential utilities and supply services at the basin, open to all on equal terms, and at their own expense maintain project depths within the mooring and turning basin after its construction has been accomplished. For the Gardiner channel local interests are to furnish assurances that the Gardiner mill will be operated to produce an average daily output of 100,000 feet board measure for 300 days per year; that the mill wharf or other suitable wharf will be open to all on equal and reasonable terms; and that local interests furnish free of cost to the United States, when and as required, all lands, easements, and rights-of- Way and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subse- quent maintenance, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvement. Assurances in connection with Gardiner channel were approved December 26, 1947. Assurances in connection with Winchester Bay channel have not yet been requested. Terminal facilities.-At Gardiner there is approximately 650 feet of wharf frontage, of which 60 feet is publicly owned. At Reedsport there is about 750 feet of usable wharf frontage, all Privately owned. The port of Umpqua owns one wharf with 456 feet of water frontage and another with about 75 feet of water frontage which has not been used generally for commercial ship- Ping. The existing terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results duringfiscal year.-New work: Dredging of the Gardiner Channel was initiated by Government plant and hired labor on September 22, 1947, and was approximately 93 Percent completed. A total of 580,770 cubic yards of material was removed during the fiscal year. Maintenance: The entrance channel was dredged by Government Plant and hired labor during July and August 1947 to a depth of 16 feet. A total of 400,047 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $58,236.62. Model studies for the reconstruction of the south jetty or other construction work in lieu thereof were com- Pleted at the U. S. Waterways Experiment Station at Vicksburg, Miss., at a cost of $19,421.74. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $2,053.28. Total costs for the fiscal year were $256,155.10, of which $176,444.06 was for new work and $79,711.04 for maintenance. Expenditures were $260,127.03, including $75,000 advanced by local interests.

COOS AND MILLICOMA RIVERS, OREG. Location.-The south fork and Millicoma Rivers rise in the coast range in southern Oregon, flow in a generally western direction, and Join to make Coos River, 5.3 miles above the mouth of Coos River in Coos Bay. (See U. S. Geological Survey, Coos Bay, quadrangle). Existing project.-This provides for channels 5 feet deep and 50 feet wide from the mouth of Coos River to Allegany on Milli- coma River, mile 13.8 and to Dellwood on South Fork, mile 14, and thence a channel 3 feet deep and 50 feet wide to mile 14.7 on South Fork, including stabilization works on Coos River. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high waters above the plane of reference and the ex- treme tidal ranges under ordinary conditions at the mouth of the Coos River are 7.3 and 11 feet, respectively, and there is a tidal range of about 1 foot at the head of navigation in both forks. Freshet stages usually reach a height of from 10 to 15 feet at Allegany, head of navigation on the Millicoma River. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1948 is $401,400. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $27,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Acts of June 3, 1896 (H. Doc. 237, 53d Cong., 3d sess.) and June 30, 1948 (S. Doc. 124, 80th Cong., 2d sess). The latest published maps are in these documents. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of June 30, 1948, Public Law 858, provides that local interest (a) furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of- Way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for construction and future maintenance of work when and as required, (b) construct, Operate and maintain adequate terminal facilities open to all on equal terms, and (c) hold and save the United States free from all damages resulting from construction and maintenance of the im- Provements. Terminal facilities.-There are several small privately owned Wharves and landing places on the rivers that are used by small launches. There are no publicly owned wharves. The existing term- Inal facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. 2758 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The originally authorized proj- ect, for 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 head of navigation, was completed in 1899. No work has been done on the project as modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 30, 1948. 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, 1948, amounting to $4,632.36, will be applied to maintenance as follows: Dredging and snagging in Coos River and in the north and south forks, by contract, August and September 1948___ $4,000.00 Hydrographic surveys-_ .......... _____ -_ 632.36 Total ------- ----------------------------------- 4,632.36 The additional sum of $8,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for maintenance, dredging and snagging in the channel of Coos River and both forks, by contract.

COOS BAY, OREG. Location.-On the Oregon coast 200 miles south of the mouth of Columbia River and 445 miles north of San Francisco BaY. It is about 13 miles long and 1 mile wide, with an area at high tide of about 15 square miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 5984.) RIVERS AND IlARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTBICT 2759 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 dimen- Slons 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 MIillington, a mooring basin, about 500 feet by 900 feet, for small boats at Charleston, with a connecting channel, 10 feet deep and 150 feet wide, to deep water in Coos Bay, and the construction of a protecting breakwater and a bulkhead. 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 range 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 1948, is $8,749,000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $654,500, not including repairs to jetties. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Sept. 19, 1890 For 2 jettles.----------------....----------------.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946, Provided that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will: (a) Furnish free of cost to the United States necessary spoil-disposal areas for new work and Subsequent maintenance as and when required; and (b) construct and maintain any additional terminal facilities necessary to the 2760 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 full use of the port, such facilities to be open to all on equal terms. The River and Harbor Act of June 30, 1948, in connection with Charleston Channel provides that local interests (a) furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of-waY' and spoil-disposal areas required for both new work and subse- quent maintenance; (b) agree to construct, maintain, and operate adequate mooring facilities within the basin, and a public landing with suitable utility and supply facilities, without profit and open to all on equal and equitable terms; (c) maintain the bulkhead and maintain project depths within the mooring basin; (d) agree to hold and save the United States free from any claims for darn- ages which might result from execution of this improvement; (e) contribute $40,800 to defray one-half the estimated cost of con- structing the bulkhead; and (f) hold for the free use of the public as a roadway, promenade, or landing, a strip at least 100 feet wide, adjacent to and landward of the bulkhead along the northerly, easterly, and southerly sides of the filled area. Assurances of local cooperation were approved by the Secretary of the Army on November 4, 1947. 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 considered adequate for existing corn" merce. At Charleston, there are two wharfs, one public and one private, with usable areas of 1,200 square feet and 2,400 square feet, re- spectively, each equipped with facilities for servicing fishing boats. A float landing extends some 200 feet north of the private wharf. Present facilities are congested and inadequate to accommodate the boats operating in the vicinity. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work. For the removal of overburden and rock at Guano Rock and between miles 2 and 4.5 to a depth of 30 feet contractors plant was assembled and preliminary work initiated. Maintenance: A total of 179,854 cubic yards of material waS removed from the bar and bay channel by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $20,388.13, and a total of 684,532 cubic yards of material was removed from the inner bay channel, bY contract, at a cost of $183,003.27. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $6,007.62. Total costs for the fiscal year were $245,731.03, of which $36,332.01 was for new work and $209,399.02 for maintenance. Expenditures were $247,232.02. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is approx- imately 63 percent complete. All work authorized prior to 1946 was completed in 1937. The south jetty was completed in 1928, the north jetty in 1929, and the channel in 1937. Both jetties are in good condition. Work on the excavation of the 30-foot channel haS been initiated, but no increased depths are yet available. At the close of the fiscal year, the controlling depth on the bar and in the RIVERS AND hARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2761 entrance channel was 22.0 feet. Between the entrance and the head of Coos Bay, the controlling depth was 21.5 feet in a chan- nel 30.0 feet wide. In the turning basin at Coos Bay, the controlling depth was 24.5 feet. The remaining work required to complete the existing project consists of dredging to provide a channel across the outer bar, 40 feet deep at mean lower low water, and of suitable width, with dimensions being 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 Coal- bank slough and at the city of North Bend; and anchorage basins 600 feet wide by 2,000 feet long at mile 3.5 and near mile 7; and the construction of a mooring basin for small boats at Charleston, with connecting channel to deep water in Coos Bay and the construction of protecting breakwater and a bulkhead. Total costs, from Federal funds, under the existing projects have been $10,099,931.99, of which $4,157,095.52 was for new work and $5,942,836.47 for maintenance. Total expenditures have been $10,106,369.73. 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, 1948, including accounts receivable, amounting to $467,715.02, plus allot- 'rents received in July 1948 of $1,500,000 for new work and $361,000 for maintenance will be applied as follows: Accounts payable------------------------------------------ $901.90 New work: Removal of overburden and rock to a depth of 30 feet, at Guano Rock and between miles 2.0 and 4.5, by continuing contract---------- $1,956,667.99 Driving timber piles and dolphins for use as ranges, along Coos Bay Channel, by contract- 7,000.00 Total new work--------------------------------- 1,963,667.99 lVaintenance: Dredging on the bar and entrance by Govern- ment hopper dredge, August and September _ 1948 ------------------- --------------- 351,000.00 Ilydrographic surveys------------------------- 13,145.13 Total maintenance ------------------------------- 364,145.13 Total all work---------------------------------- 2,328,715.02 The additional sum of $1,763,000.00 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 as follows: New work: Continuation of removal of overburden and rock to a depth of 30 feet at Guano Rock and between miles 2 and 4.5 by continuing contract--------- ...-- $300,000 Initiation and about 50 percent completion of dredg- ing 30 foot channel above mile 4.5 by contract----- 800,000 Dredging entrance bar to project depth of 40 feet by Government Plant and hired labor------------ 200,000 Dredging mooring and approach channel at Charles- ton by contract ----------------------------- 349,000 Total new work ----...----- -------..........- $1,649,000 2762 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

RIVERS AND IIARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2763 33. COQUILLE RIVER, OREG. Location.--This river rises in the Coast Range, flows in a gen- eral westerly direction for about 100 miles, and empties into the Pacific Ocean at Bandon, Oreg., 225 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River and 420 miles north of San Francisco Bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 5971.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 14, 1880, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1986 of the Annual Report for 1915 and page 1727 of the Annual 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 (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $41,000 for dredging and snagging. There is no approved estimate for maintenance of jetties. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 14, 1880 Jetties-------.................-----------------------------..... Ex.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredg- ing on the entrance bar was done during September 1947, a total of 39,232 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $17,638.86. Iydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $2,001.33. Total costs for the fiscal year were $19,640.19. Expenditures were $20,132.19. 804711-48-Vol. 2-80 2764 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1933. The jetties were completed in 1908 and the en- trance channel in 1933. The north jetty was reconstructed in 1942 and is in good condition. The outer 200 feet of the south jetty has subsided below ordinary low water level. The controlling depths are 11 feet on the bar and 10 feet from the entrance to Bandon. The total costs under the existing project have been $950,437.39, of which $316,640.21 was for new work and $633,797.18 for main- tenance. Expenditures have been $950,929.39. In addition $72,891.20 was expended for new work from contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, including accounts receivable, amounting to $15,359.81 plus an allotment received in July 1948 of $30,000, a total of $45,359.81 will be applied to maintenance as follows: Dredging on the bar and entrance channel with a seagoing hopper dredge about one month, July 1948_______$41,359.8 Hydrographic surveys____ 4000.00 Total ------------- 45,359.81 The additional sum of $50,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for maintenance as follows: Dredging on the bar and in the channel to Bandon, with a seagoing 000 hopper dredge, about 1 months___ - -- -- $45,000 Hydrographic surveys Total _ -___ -- 50,000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948__ -- _____------------_ -1$657,365.79 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948 675,264.35 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948 Plus accounts receivable, June 30, 1948 _---- - 1,332,630.14 ''492.00 Gross total costs to June 30, 1948-------------------- 1,333,122.14 Net total expenditures --------------------------------- 1 ,333,122.14 Unexpended balance, June 30, 1948-------------------- 14 867.

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 construc- tion 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 (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $9,000. 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $6.19, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done. Total costs and expenditures have been $6.19, all for new Work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, amounting to $1,993.81, will be applied to the preparation of con- tract plans and specifications, new work. No additional funds can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950. 2766 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

LUCKY PEAK RESERVOIR, BOISE RIVER, IDAHO Location.-- On the Boise River in southwestern Idaho approxi- mately 9 miles southeast of the city of Boise and approximately 12 miles downstream from Arrowrock Reservoir. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for con- struction of a rolled earth-fill dam approximately 250 feet high and 1,700 feet long at the crest, with a reservoir providing a total storage, at normal pool level, of 306,000 acre-feet. The spillway will be located on the left abutment and have a curved crest of 500- foot radius 224 feet long. The spillway is designed to pass 94,500 cubic feet per second at maximum pool, and the discharge will be controlled by five 27- by 40-foot automatically operated tainter gates. The outlet works are to be located in the left abutment and consist of a 20-foot diameter tunnel controlled by two 96-inch How- ell-Bunger valves and five 96-inch ring follower gates. The plan contemplates the joint use of the storage in Lucky Peak, Arrowrock, and Anderson Ranch Reservoirs. Operations of the dam as a flood-control facility will be by the Department of the Army under the direction of the Secretary of the Army with the understanding that complete or partial joint use of the storage in the three reservoirs may be undertaken at such time as may be agreed upon by the Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the In- terior, and local interests concerned with flood control and use of Irrigation water.

MILL CREEK, WASH. Location. -Near Walla Walla, Wash., on Mill Creek, a tributary of ;the Walla Walla River. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for con- struction of flood-control works consisting of a storage dam, out- let works, diversion works, division structures.and improvement of a stretch of Mill Creek Channel, including the reconstruction of the Otis and Merriam Street Bridges across Mill Creek in the city of Walla:Walla, Wash., 804711---48--Vol. 2-81 2780 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 The storage dam, which will form a reservoir of 6,000 acre-feet capacity, is a rolled earth fill structure 145 feet high, 3,200 feet long at the crest, and 800 feet wide at the base. Flood water is diverted for storage by means of diversion works on Mill Creek consisting of a rolled earth fill dam 1,700 feet long and 20 feet high, with a concrete spillway section and headworks at the left abutment, and a concrete-lined canal leading from the headworks to the storage reservoir. Stored water is subsequently released through outlet works consisting of a steel-lined concrete conduit through the base of the storage dam and a canal 5,900 feet in length from the dam to Mill Creek. The normal flow of water past the diversion works is apportioned, by means of two concrete division structures, to the three delta streams, Yellowhawk, Garrison, and Mill Creek. The project will control the entire Mill Creek drainage area of 85 square miles and care for a flood of 11,400 second-feet. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941, modified the project in accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers in House Document 719, Seventy-sixth Con- gress, third session. The estimated cost, revised in 1948, is $2,270,685 for construction and $133,215 for lands and damages, a total of $2,403,900. Local cooperation.-For the project, except for Mill Creek through the city of Walla Walla, section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. For the section of Mill Creek through the city of, Walla Walla, Wash., local interests will pro- vide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction of the project, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from improvement. Assurances of compliance with these require- ments received from local interests were approved by the Division Engineer, March 2, 1948. Local interests have agreed to contri- bute $80,000 toward the cost of channel improvement through the city of Walla Walla, and have actually contributed $25,000 to June 30, 1948. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Work on the preparation of plans and specifications for remedial measures to alleviate excessive and detrimental seepage from the reservoir was continued. Plans and specifications for channel improve- ments in Mill Creek through the city of Walla Walla, from the rail- road bridge at station 0+00 to station 116+91 were completed. Maintenance: Ordinary maintenance and repairs were con- tinued. Reservoir regulation was routine until November 7, when, due to heavy rainfall, the Mill Creek flow increased rapidly. As the flow started over the spillway, the sluice gates were closed; and, as the flow continued to increase, needles at Mill Creek divi- sion were removed. Following a gradual decrease in flow, the necessary adjustment at the division works was made. Heavy rain in early January caused an increase in flow of Mill Creek. As the flow increased, greater volumes were diverted to YelloW' hawk and Garrison Creeks, but during the peak of water there were approximately 1,600 cubic feet per second passing the diversion structure to Mill Creek Channel through Walla Walla. FLOOD CONTROL--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2781 This flow severely degraded the channel of Mill Creek. Regulation Was routine following a decrease in the flow. A minor flood Occurred in February, producing a peak spillway discharge of 1,400 cubic feet per second which caused appreciable channel ero- Slon. Approximately 250 acre-feet were stored in the reservoir, and, following the flood, were discharged into Russell Creek. Total costs for the fiscal year from Federal funds were $31,091.35, of which $19,168.70 was for new work and $11,922.65 for maintenance. Expenditures were $48,953.08. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The construction of the dam and appurtenant works was completed in 1942. An auxiliary outlet canal from the dam to Russell Creek and the construction of addi- tional drainage facilities at the toe of the dam were completed in 1944. The project as a whole is approximately 81 percent complete. The remaining work required to complete the project consists of Sealing the reservoir floor, additional work on the drainage system in the dam, and improvement of Mill Creek Channel through the city of Walla Walla. Total costs from Federal funds have been $1,606,738.76, of which $1,528,892.21 was for new work and $77,846.55 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $1,624,187.42.

LOOKOUT POINT RESERVOIR (MERIDAN 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 ap- proximately 22 miles from Eugene, Oreg. The drainage area tribu- tary to the reservoir is 991 square miles. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction 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 stor- age at normal pool level of 456,000 acre-feet. The spillway will be of the side-channel type located on the right abutment of the dam, controlled by radial crest gates. The outlet works will consist of a 20-foot diameter flood control tunnel and a 27-foot diameter power tunnel through the right abutment of the dam. The flood con- trol outlet will be a concrete-lined tunnel about 1,900 feet long dis- charging into a stilling basin through a manifold controlled by five 108-inch regulating valves; emergency control being effected by 108-inch emergency ring follower gate located ahead of each regu- lating valve. The power outlet will be a concrete-lined tunnel ap- proximately 1,500 feet long discharging into a separate stilling basin until facilities are provided for power, emergency control be- ing effected by two 12- by 27-foot emergency wheel gates located in the tunnel at the dam axis. 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 navigation and other purposes. This project is a unit of the comprehensive plan for flood control and other purposes in the Williamette River Basin which was authorized by the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938. FLOOD CONTROL-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2793 The estimated cost revised in 1948 is $28,761,000 for construction and $22,154,000 for lands and damages, a total of $50,915,000.

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. Existing project.--The plan of improvement provides for con- struction of an earth-fill dam 1,650 feet long at the crest, rising 95 feet above the stream bed, with a reservoir providing for storage of 30,000 acre-feet. The spillway, 264 feet long, is a concrete, gravity, overflow type forming the right abutment. Outlet works, consist- ing of three gate-controlled conduits, pass through the spillway section. The reservoir is operated as a unit of the coordinated- reservoir system to protect the Willamette River Valley and to in- crease low water flows for navigation. The existing project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Willamette River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 28, 1938. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948 is $1,844,500 for construction and $551,500 for lands and damages, a total of $2,396,000. 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, and settle- ments for lands and flowage were made. Maintenance: Operation of the regulating gates, maintenance of structures and grounds, and ordinary repairs were continued dur- ing the year. During the fiscal year two floods, one of major and one of minor proportion, occurred in the Willamette basin. Damage in both cases was greatly reduced by the planned regulation of Cottage Grove Reservoir. In early January a major storm produced a peak inflow of 5,800 cubic feet per second. Controlled discharge during the entire storm period resulted in evaluated flood control benefits amounting to $510,000. Maximum storage during this period was 13,500 acre feet, approximately 41 percent of the total capacity of the reservoir. Following the flood period, excess water was evacu- ated, minimum pool elevation being attained on January 13. A flood in February, though not of major proportion, in the Willa- mette basin as a whole, produced a peak reservoir inflow of 6,330 cubic feet per second. Controlled discharge during the entire flood period resulted in an evaluated flood control benefit in excess of $243,000. Following the flood period, excess water was evacuated, a planned storage level being attained by the end of the month. During the remainder of the year, filling and maintenance of stor- age level was accomplished in accordance with planned schedules. A total of 58,176 persons visited the reservoir during the year for recreational purposes. Total costs for the fiscal year were $32,596.32, of which $7,027.86 was for new work and $25,568.46 for maintenance. Expenditures were $32,759.83. 804711-48-Vol 2-82 2796 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

DORENA RESERVOIR, WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.-On Row River, Oreg., 7 miles from the mouth. Row River rises in Lane County on the western slope of the Cascade Range, flows northwest for 19 miles, and enters the Coast Fork of Willamette River 191/2 miles above the mouth. The drainage area, tributary to this reservoir, is 265 square miles. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for con- struction of an earth-fill dam 3,952 feet long at the crest, rising 145 feet above the stream bed, with a reservoir providing a usable storage at normal pool level of 70,000 acre-feet. The spillway, 200 feet long, will be a concrete gravity, overflow type, forming the right abutment. Outlet works consisting of five slide gate-control- led conduits will pass through the spillway section. The reservoir, controlling practically the entire drainage area of Row River, will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system to protect the Willamette River Valley and to increase low-water flows for navigation, and for other purposes. The existing project was se- lected for construction under the general authorization for the Willamette River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 28, 1938. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948 is $14,640,000, ($11,752,000 for construction and $2,888,- 000 for lands and damages). Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies.

FERN RIDGE RESERVOIR, WILLIAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.-On the Long Tom River, 38 miles from the mouth. The Long Tom River rises in Lane County, Oreg., on the eastern slope of the Coast Range, flows north for 50 miles, and enters the Willamette River 147 miles above its mouth. The drainage area tributary to this reservoir is 252 square miles. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for con- struction of an earth-fill dam 6,360 feet long at the crest and two auxiliary dikes 850 feet and 3,680 feet long along the northeasterly boundary of the reservoir. The main dam has a maximum height of 44 feet above the stream bed. The spillway, located near the left abutment, consists of a gravity section concrete overflow structure controlled by six automatic radial gates. Outlet works are located in the spillway structure. The project includes rectifi- cation of the channel of Long Tom River downstream from the dam. The reservoir, having a usable storage capacity of 95,000 acre-feet, protects the Long Tom River Valley and will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system to protect the Willa- mette River Valley generally and to increase low water flows for navigation. The existing project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Willamette River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimate of cost for. new work, revised in 1948 is $3,701,365 for 2800 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 construction and $812,635 for lands and damages, a total of $4,- 514,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Con- struction of facilities for reservoir management was completed, except for water and sewerage. Planning for facilities for public use of the reservoir area was continued. Improvement of the Long Tom River Channel was continued, and settlements for lands and damages were carried on. Maintenance: Operation and regulation of gates and mainte- nance of grounds, structures, and the Long Tom Channel were continued. During the year ending June 30, 1948, two floods, one of major proportion and one of minor proportion, occurred in the Williamette Basin. Damage in both cases was greatly reduced by the planned regulation of Fern Ridge Reservoir. Except for some delay due to excess precipitation in October, evacuation of stored water was accomplished as planned and was completed on November 20. In early January a major storm resulted in a record inflow of 16,000 cubic feet per second. Controlled discharge at the peak inflow was 15 cubic feet per second. The flood control benefits thus derived were evaluated at $507,000. Maximum reservoir storage during this flood was 85,300 acre-feet, or 81 percent of total capacity. Following the flood period, excess water was evacuated in accord- ance with prescribed procedure, minimum pool being reached on Jan. 28. On February 22 a minor storm occurred, resulting in a peak inflow of 8,260 cubic feet per second. Controlled discharge was maintained throughout the flood period, resulting in flood control benefits evaluated at over $57,000. Following this flood period, excess water was evacuated, scheduled storage level being reached on March 2, 1948, after which filling and storage were accom- plished in accordance with planned schedules. During the year, a total of 109,508 persons visited the reservoir for recreational purposes. Total costs for the fiscal year were $76,357.93, of which $33,- 877.24 was for new work and $42,480.69 for maintenance. Ex- penditures were $75,331.67. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam and appurtenant structures were completed in 1942 and have been in continuous operation since that time. The Long Tom River Channel improve- ment, except for the construction of two additional spillway struc- tures, stabilizers, and some revetment work, has been completed and is in operation. Landscaping, completion of water and sewer- age for management facilities, construction of facilities for public use of the reservoir area, and completion of Long Tom channel im- provement remain to complete the project. Total costs have been $4,265,424.72, of which $4,106,813.74 was for new work and $158,610.98 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $4,263,699.70.

Location.-On North Santiam River, with dam site 60 miles from the mouth and 45 miles southeast of Salem, Oreg. North San- tiam River flows north and west for 85 miles, and unites with South Santiam River to form Santiam River, which 10 miles down- stream enters the Williamette River 108 miles above its mouth. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of one main dam and a reregulating dam both with power generating facilities. Detroit Dam will be a concrete-gravity structure approximately 1,580 feet in length and 390 feet in height above river bed. The spillway will be a gate-controlled overflow section, and the outlet works will be gate-controlled conduits through the dam. The powerhouse with two units having a capac- ity of 50,000 kilowatts each will be located in the right abutment immediately below the dam. The reservoir will have a usable stor- age capacity of 340,000 acre-feet. It will be operated as a unit in the coordinated reservoir system to protect the Willamette Valley from floods, to increase low-water flows in the interest of naviga- tion and irrigation, to generate power, and for other purposes. The reregulating dam will be located 3 miles downstream at the Big Cliff site and will be of the concrete-gravity type, approxi- mately 130 feet in height above river bed. The power installation will be one unit with a capacity of 16,000 kilowatts. The reservoir created by the dam will have a usable storage capacity of 1,800 acre-feet. The project is a unit of the comprehensive plan for flood-control and other purposes in the Willamette Basin. The existing project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Willamette River Basin contained in Flood Control Act ap- proved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost revised in 1948 is $58,- FLOOD CONTROL---PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2803 198,000 for construction and $7,179,000 for lands and damages, a total of $65,377,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.--A housing area and temporary housing with necessary utilities for use of Government Personnel were constructed as required. Investigations, studies, design, and model testing were continued. Contract plans and specifications for the dam were essentially completed. The design and construction of the relocation of the North Santiam National Highway No. 24 were underway under the supervision of the Public Road Administration.. The financial responsibility of the Department of the Army extends to the clearing, grading, ballast- ing, and bridge construction of approximately 9.8 miles of the relocation, together with the construction of Blowout Creek and French Creek forest access roads. The cost of additional neces- sary provisions to prevent slides due to rapid drawdown of the reservoir is also the responsibility of the Department of the Army. Construction of 9.8 miles of the highway relocation was approxi- mately 42 percent completed during the year, with funds suballot- ted by the Department of the Army. Total costs for the fiscal year were $217,535.75 all for new work. Expenditures were $2,124,896.66. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction work has been done on the dam and appurtenant structures, but contract plans and specifications have been essentially completed. A construction camp including provisions for Government personnel has been essentially completed. Construction of the relocated North San- tiam Highway is approximately 42 percent complete..

EMERGENCY FLOOD CONTROL WORK UNDER AUTHORITY OF PUBLIC LAWS 138 AND 318, SEVENTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS; PUBLIC LAW 75, SEVENTY-NINTH CONGRESS; AND PUBLIC LAW 102, EIGHTIETH CONGRESS Because of the heavy demands for emergency repair work to flood control structures damaged or destroyed by the disastrous floods which occurred in the spring of 1943 and again in the spring of 1944, Congress, in the act approved July 12, 1943, Public Law 138, Seventy-eighth Congress, in the act approved May 29, 1944, Public Law 318, Seventy-eighth Congress, in the act approved June 5, 1945, Public Law 75, Seventy-ninth Congress, and in the act approved June 23, 1947, Public Law 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 FLOOD CONTROL-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2823 funds to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of War and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers for the repair, restor- ation, and strengthening of levees and other flood control works which had been threatened or destroyed by recent floods. In addition to funds in the amount of $1,263,145.60 previously allotted, funds in the amount of $1,325,150 were allotted during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, for emergency repair work Pursuant to the act approved July 12, 1943. Operations during the fiscal year included emergency repair work at the following locations: Boise River, Idaho, locations 26 (Ballentine Heading), 28 (Prison Farm), 29 (Red Bridge), and Strawberry Glen Bridge, right and left banks; Clatsop River in Clatsop County Drainage District No. 1, Oregon; Columbia River in diking improvement district No. 4, Wahkiakum County, Wash.; Coast Fork of Willamette River at Goshen, Oreg.; Little Nestucca River in Little Nestucca drainage district, Oregon; McKenzie River at Armitage, Cedar Flats, and Wilson Bend M-1 locations, Oregon; Payette River, Idaho, at Conrad, Highsmith, Highway 52 Bridge, 49 slough, Smith and Tschudy, and William E. Bow- man locations; Santiam River, Oreg., location No. 3; Snake River, Idaho, at Harrup Plug, Henry Miller, Lorenzo Bridge, Lowder slough, and Lower LaBelle locations; South Santiam River at Sanderson Bridge, Oreg., Willamette River, Oreg., at Bauer Lane, Maclay Place, Rodgers Bend, Ufford, Gray Eagle bar, Irish Bend, Lower Bend, Grand Island, Ditmars, Weston Bend, and Fertile District locations 8 and 8A. Plans and specifications were completed or preparation under- way for emergency repair work at the following locations on the Willamette River, Oreg.: Jacobs Bend, Murphys bar, Ingram Island, Harrisburg Railway Approach, Keizer Rapids, Probst, Upper Goodpasture, Brown Bend, Ferry St. Bridge, Harper Bend, and locations 6 and'7. Plans and specifications were virtually completed for work at John McKinney location on Payette River, Idaho. A contract was awarded but work not started on the Smith River at Dawson, Kennedy, Pyritz, and Wiley and Cowan loca- tions. On the Snake River at Menan' location, a supplemental agreement to an existing contract was negotiated for the repair Work to be accomplished. Preparation of plans and specifications was initiated for construction of bank protection works at Clear- water location on the Middle Fork of Willamette River, Oreg. Funds in the amount of $500,000 were allotted in June 1948 and $4,400,000 were alloted on July 12, 1948, a total of $4,900,000 for flood fighting and rescue work as the results of the disastrous flood of June and July 1948: These funds will be applied to costs incurred and to be incurred for emergency work necessitated by this flood. This is the second largest flood of record; occurred in the Col- umbia River basin during May and June 1948. The flood reached stages of 30.2 feet at Vancouver, Wash., 29.95 feet at Portland, Oreg., and 51.8 feet at The Dalles. These stages were approxi- mately maintained until June 14, when the flood waters started to recede. The peak flow recorded at Bonneville was approximately 2824 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 1,000,000 cubic feet per second. The greatest flood of record (1894) was estimated at 1,170,000 cubic feet per second at The Dalles, Oreg. Of particular importance in prolonging and increasing damages due to this flood was the enormous volume and prolonged high stages attained. The river reached flood stage at Vancouver, 15.0 feet, on May 19, and first crested at 30.2 on June 1; additional crests of over 30.0 feet were attained on June 8 and June 14; and the recession between crests was always less than one foot. The recession which followed the final cresting resulted in the river dropping below flood stage at Vancouver, Wash., about July 9, making 52 days the river was in flood, including 17 days during which it stood above 29.0 feet at Vancouver. Approximately 370,000 acres of land were inundated by this 1948 flood which resulted in the destruction of over 5,000 homes and damage to thousands of others, made nearly 35,000 people homeless, and required evacuation of approximately 100,000 per- sons. At least 20 people lost their lives. Enormous damage to crops, lands, industrial and commercial properties resulted. High- ways, railroads and navigation facilities serving the Portland- Vancouver area were disrupted and the airport was inundated. The disrupting of transportation facilities interfered generally with rescue work and the protecting of the existing levees. Levees protecting thirteen diking districts were crevassed, and other levees protecting 33 additional districts were maintained at a great effort and cost. The total costs of rescue work and flood fight have not as yet been fully determined but it is estimated that they will exceed $3,000,000. An accurate appraisal of the total flood damage will not be available for several months. Total costs from Federal funds during the fiscal year were $663,592.98; expenditures were $633,982.68. Total costs to June 30, 1948, have been $1,870,760.73; expenditures have been $1,840,790.15. In addition $30,000 has been expended from contrib- uted funds. The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, amounting to $747,505.45 plus accounts receivable amounting to $8,112.00, a total of $755,617.46, will be applied during the fiscal year 1949 to accounts payable, $41,323.89, and to costs incurred on work authorized under this heading.

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 1948, is $563,130. 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 harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Document I Aug. 8, 1917 For 2 jetties, the easterly 335 feet and the westerly 460 I.

Local cooperation.-In accordance with the provisions of the River and Harbor Act of August 8, 1917, the city of Nome furnished evidence, accepted by the Secretary of War on December 22, 1917, that it would contribute $2,500 annually toward the maintenance of RIVERS AND IARBORS-SEATTLE, WASII., DISTRICT 2835 the improvement and furnish all lands or easements necessary to the proper execution of the work. These conditions have been met annually as required, the Territory of Alaska currently furnishing the annual monetary contribution. Terminal facilities.-Cargoesand 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 40,050 cubic yards was accomplished at a cost of $50,619.09, and revetment repairs were carried on at a cost of $49,621.61, by Gov- ernment plant and hired labor, July to October 1947, and June 1948. A total of 112 linear feet of the north revetment was reinforced by facing with steel sheet piling and strengthening of the tie-back system. Reconstruction of 134 feet of south revetment damaged by the storm of October 1945, commenced in May 1947, was completed in August 1947. The east jetty was extended landward 181 linear feet with steel*sheet piling. The total costs were $100,228.08, in- cluding $97,728.08 from Federal funds and $2,500 from contributed funds, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $95,376.84 from Federal funds and $2,500 from contributed funds. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The project was 50 percent com- plete. Construction of the original 335- and 460-foot jetties and the revetments was commenced in 1919 and completed in 1923. Recon- struction of the jetties with concrete to modified lengths of 240 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 com- pleted 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. Con- trolling depths in June 1948 were 5.5 feet over the bar, 8.5 feet in the channel, and 7.5 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 ex- tend the jetties to their authorized lengths, and to dredge the 400- foot extension of the basin. The costs from Federal funds to June 30, 1948, have been $272,- 950.13 for new work and $912,400.09 for maintenance, a total of $1,185,350.22, and the expenditures have been $1,187,350.57. In addition $65,000 has been expended from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The Federal funds unexpended June 30, 1948, $81,796.20, together with an allotment received in July 1948 of $150,000, a total of $231,796.20, will be applied to maintenance, by Government plant and hired labor, as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1948-----------_________ $1,906.73 Maintenance dredging, U. S. clamshell dredge Arctic, July to October 1948, and June 1949--- 50,000.00 Reconstruction of 950 linear feet of revetments, July to September 1948; and purchase materials for future revetment repairs--------. 179,889.47 Total-_ ------------------------------------- 231,796.20 2836 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

NOME HARBOR (SHORE PROTECTION WORKS), ALASKA Location.-Nome Harbor is situated on the northwesterly shore of Norton Sound on the west coast of Alaska, 2,288 nautical miles northwest of Seattle, Wash., and 581 nautical miles north of Dutch Harbor, Alaska. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 9302 and 9380.) Existing project.-This provides for protection of all existing water-front improvements on the easterly beach, by means of a rock-mound sea wall 3,350 feet long extending easterly from the east jetty. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1948, is $1,837,000. The project is to be maintained by local interests. The existing project was authorized by Public Law 649, Eightieth Congress, second session, approved June 16, 1948, in accordance with the plan presented in the report of the Chief of Engineers dated March 8, 1948. Local cooperation.-Localinterests are required to furnish with- out cost to the-United States, the necessary lands, easements, rights- of-way, and quarry rights; accomplish without expense to the United States, alterations as may be required to utility facilities; agree to hold and save the United States free from any claims for damages that may result from construction of the project; and agree to maintain the works after completion. Terminal facilities.-Cargoesand 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. RIVERS AND IIARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2839 Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done on the project, and there have been no costs or expenditures. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1949.

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 8551.) Existing project.--This provides for dredging a small-boat and seaplane 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.-Local interests are required to provide and maintain adequate floats, ramps, and mooring facilities. Only one small float has been provided, to date. Terminal facilities.--Thereare two privately owned wharves for deep-draft vessels, both open to general public use on payment of mooring and wharfage charges. These facilities are adequate for existing ocean-steamer commerce. :Mooring facilities in the dredged basin consist of one float, inadequate for existing small-boat traffic. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at:end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. In October 1947, the controlling depth, except along the edges of the basin, was 8.2 feet. The costs and expenditures have been $52,361,08, all for new Work. :: : 2840 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

CORDOVA HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-Cordova Harbor is on Orca Inlet, a strait near the eastern entrance to Prince William Sound, Alaska. 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 facilities.-There are nine wharves and floats in Cor- dova Harbor. One privately owned wharf has oil-handling and bunkering 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 GoV- ernment 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.-An allotment received in July 1948 of $3,000 will be applied to a condition survey during the fiscal year 1949. The sum of $120,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for maintenance dredging.

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 south- erly 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 1948, is $36,500. 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 assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary' of the Army 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 dredging is done; and agree to provide and maintain all necessary mooring floatswithin the basin. The town of SkagWaY RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2843 has been advised of the requirements of local cooperation and has indicated a willingness to comply. 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.

GASTINEAU CHANNEL, ALASKA Location.-Gastineau Channel is a strait in southeastern Alaska, extending in a northwesterly direction from Stephens Passage to Fritz Cove. It is approximately 16 miles long and separates Douglas Island from the mainland. Juneau, the capital of Alaska, is located about midway of its length on the mainland shore. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8235.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel from Juneau to Fritz Cove, approximately 4>2 miles long, 75 feet wide, with the bottom at the elevation of mean lower low water. The diurnal tidal range at Juneau is 16.6 feet, and the extreme range is 23.5 feet. The estimate of cost for hew work, revised in 1948, is $800,000. The latest approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, made in 1941, is $8,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 325, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). This docu- Inent contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the improvement and for subsequent maintenance, when and as required; and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvement. Notification of these requirements will be made and compliance therewith obtained prior to construction. Terminal facilities.-The terminal facilities at Juneau and Doug- las, the only ports on the channel, consist of 18 wharves and floats at Juneau, and 1 wharf at Douglas. At Juneau, 1 wharf municipally owned and 1 privately owned, both privately operated, are for pub- lic use as general cargo and passenger terminals; 1 wharf privately S804 711-----48----vol. 2-85 2844 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 owned and operated is open to the public as a cold-storage terminal; 2 floats are municipally owned and open for public use for the ac- commodation of small vessels; 1 wharf and 1 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.-No work has been done under this project. Proposedoperations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1949. The sum of $800,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for new work, dredging the channel under contract to" complete the project.

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 Govern- ment use. The float is used for oil-.handling and bunkering. One general cargo wharf, the Government wharf, and the float are lo- cated 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 com- merce. 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 en- trance, 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 channel east of Kodiak to project depth and width. The costs and expenditures have been $12,144.64. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $3,000 received in July 1948 will be applied to condition surveys during the fiscal year 1949. No operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1950.

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 ap- proximately 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 mainte- nance 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 Alaskan portion of the river. Vessels operating on the Stikine River are dependent on the terminal facilities at Wrangell Harbor. These consist of four 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 moor- ing and servicing small craft, and two privately owned floats serve oil-handling facilities. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. RIVERS AND IIARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2851 Condition at end of fiscal year.-High water conditions made snagging unnecessary during the fiscal year. The costs and ex- Penditures to June 30, 1948, have been $4,757.10, all for mainte- nance. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, $3,092.90, together with $1,500 received in July 1948, a total of $4,592.90, will be applied to maintenance, removing snags between the mouth of the river and the Canadian border, by contract, dur- ing the fall of 1948 and the spring of 1949. The additional sum of $1,500 can be profitably expended for similar work during the fiscal year 1950.

METLAKATLA HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-This harbor is located in the southern portion of Port Chester, a small bay on the northwest coast of Annette Island in southeastern Alaska, 18 miles south of Ketchikan. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8074 and 8075.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a small-boat basin, 2.18 acres in extent, to a depth of 10 feet below the plane of mean lower low water, and for constructing a rubble-mound' breakwater 900 feet in length. The diurnal tidal range is 14.7 feet and the extreme range is 24 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1948, is $341,000, excluding $40,000 to be contributed by local interests. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 138, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). This docu- ment contains the latest published map. 2856 REPORT OF CIth 01 OF NGINEERS, U. S. A1RMY, 1948 Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to contribute $40,000 toward the cost of the improvement, and to provide with- out cost to the United States all necessary quarry rights and easements thereto. Local interests state that the city of Metlakatla has already appropriated the $40,000 required for local contribu' tion, and that it could be turned over to the Federal Government at any time. Terminal facilities.-There are two wharves in Metlakatla liar- bor. One of these, publicly owned, is used by small vessels in local trade. The other, with a least depth of 23 feet alongside, serves a fish cannery and is used to some extent for general cargo by vessels in the coastwise trade. The facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results duringfiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under this project. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal years 1949 and 1950.

PUGET SOUND AND ITS TRIBUTARY WATERS, WASHINGTON Location.-Puget Sound is located in the western part of the State of Washington. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6300, 6450, and 6460.) Previous projects. Project adopted by the River and harbor Act of August 2, 1882, contemplated clearing and maintaining the navigable portions of the Skagit, Stillaguamish, Nooksack, Snohorn- ish, and Snoqualmie Rivers, Wash., free from snags, debris, and drift, by means of a shallow-draft stern-wheel snag boat constructed for this purpise. For further details, see page 2003 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1869 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for maintenance of Puget Sound and its tributary waters by snagging and dredging. The latest (1946) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $75,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892 (Annual Report for 1893, p. 3425). The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1913, page 3127. Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.--The terminal facilities at the numerous localities on Puget Sound and its tributary waters are, in general, considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredg* ing totaling 3,780 cubic yards was accomplished on the Skagit River RIVERS AND IHARBORS-SEATTLE, WASII., DISTRICT 2857 near Hamilton and Sedro Woolley, with a Government dragline and a Bagley scraper furnished by local interests, at a cost of $4,087.77.

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 Survey Chart No. 6378.) Previous projects.-The original project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902, contemplated dredging Whatcom Creek waterway to a depth of 12 feet and 200 feet wide from deeP water to the railroad bridge, a distance of 1,200 feet, and to its full width (363.2 feet) above the bridge, an additional distance of 1,950 feet. For further details see page 2006 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1888 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for (a) dredging a channel known as Whatcom Creek waterway from deep water to the head of the harbor, 363.2 feet wide, 26 feet deep at mean lower love water for the outer 3,800 feet, and 18 feet deep for the inner 1,300 feet; (b) for Squalicum Creek waterway, including dredging aln RIVERS AND IIARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2859 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 break- water 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 of new work, revised in 1913, is $81,782 for Whatcom Creek waterway and $25,000 (made in 1927) for Squali- cum Creek waterway, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $2,000 (1928) for Whatcom Creek waterway, and $2,500 (1937) for Squalicum Creek waterway. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 June 25, 1910 For the Whatcom Creek waterway----------------- II.

In addition, the port of Bellingham in November and December 1945 improved approxi- rnately 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 con- tact piling only. The costs were $11,550, all from port funds. Terminal facilities.-There are 21 wharves and piers in Belling- ham Harbor; 8 are located on Whatcom Creek waterway, 4 on Squalicum Creek waterway, and 9 on Bellingham Bay. Three wharves on Whatcom Creek waterway serve general cargo termi- nals. One of these, which is publicly owned and operated, is suit- able 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 14 are used for various industrial purposes. These terminal facilities are consid- ered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A hydrographic and topographic survey of Whatcom Creek and Squalicum Creek Water- ways, and of the breakwater on Squalicum Creek Waterway was completed in August and September 1947, by hired labor. The costs 804711 ---- 48-vol. 2-86 2860 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 were $1,625.62, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,- 625.62. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1931. The dredging of Whatcom Creek waterway was completed in 1913. The dredging of the entrance channel in Squali- cum 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 were as follows: Outer 3,800 feet of What- com Creek waterway, 26 feet over a width of 170 feet; inner 1,300 feet, 14 feet except near the edges and at the head of the waterway; August 1947; Squalicum Creek waterway, 25.3 feet over a width of 200 feet in the entrance channel and 23.4 feet in the basin except near the edges, September 1947. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1948, have been $112,013.16 for new work and $69,826.32 for maintenance, a total of $181,839.48. The expenditures have been $181,839.48. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $20,000 received in July 1948 will be expended during the fiscal year 1949 for maintenance dredging by contract in Squalicum Creek and Whatcom Creek waterways during October 1948. The additional sum of $50,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for maintenance dredging, by contract, in Squalicum Creek and Whatcom Creek waterways during October and November 1949.

Doe. 860, 63d Cong., 2d sess. Local cooperation.-Underthe provisions of the River and Har- bor Act of August 30, 1935, adopting the project for the 12-foot channel, local interests were required to furnish free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material during initial construction and for future maintenance as and when needed. Compliance with these conditions has not yet been required, as suitable areas for disposal of dredged material have been found without invoking the requirements of local cooperation. Terminal facilities.--There are seven wharves on Swinomish Slough, of which six are privately owned and operated for industrial purposes and not open for general public use. The other, located at Goat Island, is owned by the State and not open to the public. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2863 Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredg- ing totaling 255,145 cubic yards was accomplished with the U. S. June pipe-line dredge Swinomish during the period February 2 to The 30, 1948. The costs were $109,564.77, all for maintenance. expenditures were $105,995.57. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was com- pleted in 1937. The dikes are in good condition. In June 1948, the controlling depth at mean lower low water within the dredged channel was 5.1 feet, but a depth of 9 feet was available by deviat- ing from the established channel. The costs to June 30, 1948, have been $409,029.51 for new work and $649,305.08 for maintenance, a total of $1,058,334.59. The expenditures have been $1,054,903.69. Proposed operations.--The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, $15,005.22, together with $20,000 received in July 1948, a total of $35,005.22, will be applied to accounts payable, $3,430.90, and to maintenance dredging by hired labor, July and August 1948.

In addition to the wharves, there is a facility for dumping and rafting logs. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The breakwater was completed in February 1944. The structure was in good condition when last inspected in March 1948. The costs to June 30, 1948, 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, 1948, $1,136.45, plus $25,000 received in July 1948 for maintenance, a total of $26,136.45, will be applied to breakwater repair during May and June 1949. The additional sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for repairs to the breakwater in May and June 1950.

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 im- provement 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 of Skagit City bar by combined dredging operations and training walls. The length of the section included in the project is 92 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 estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1925, is $217,000, including $45,000 for Skagit City bar and $172,000 for the improve- ments at the mouth of the river, exclusive of amount expended Under previous project. The latest (1908) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance is $5,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 June 25, 1910 Channel of entrance through the delta_....----- .. .

D)oc. 311, 70th Cong., 1st sess. Local cooperatwon.-The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919, adopting the project for improvement of Skagit City bar, provided: 2866 REPORT OF C IEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 co- operation should be imposed. 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 responsibility 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 responsi- bility. Terminal facilities.-There are five wharves at Mount Vernon, all privately owned and operated. One is open for public use as a general cargo terminal. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Studies to determine the feasibility of restoring existing structures with the view of increasing navigable depths were continued. Partial closure of a distributary slough of the south fork of the Skagit River was effected in March 1948 by the U. S. snag boat W. T. Preston, bY placing an old hulk at the site of a deteriorated closing dike. The Preston placed 130 cubic yards of brush fascines under the hulk; and 934 cubic yards of material dredged from the Skagit River were placed on and around the hulk in April 1948. The costs were $1,220.40, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,220.40. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 46 per- cent 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 of the 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, 1948, have been $99,- 829.80 for new work and $35,876.40 for maintenance, a total of $135,706.20. The expenditures have been $135,706.20. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to increase the depth at Skagit City bar by combined dredging opera- tions and training walls, and extend the training dike 5,550 feet to its authorized length of 16,000 feet. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, $381.41, will be applied to surveys. The additional sum of $20,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for repair of dikes by hired labor, as required.

LAKE CROCKETT, WASH. Location.-The harbor is located on the west side of Whidbey Island, about 35 nautical miles north of Seattle, Wash. The lake lies parallel to Admiralty Bay and is separated from it by a nar- row strip of gravel beach. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6450.) Existing project.-This provides for a basin in Lake Crockett with an area of about 6 acres and a depth of 18 feet at mean lower low water, connected with Admiralty Bay by a channel of the same depth and 150 feet wide protected by a breakwater. The diurnal tidal range in Admiralty Bay is 8.8 feet and the extreme range is about 16.5 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1946, is $327,500. The estimate of cost for annual maintenance, made in 1941, is $3,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945. (See H. Doc. No. 303, 77th Cong., 1st sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Nonerequired. Terminal facilities.-There is a wharf just outside of the dredged basin owned by the United States Army, and the County is con- structing a wharf and ferry slip, which will be open for public use, inside of the basin. It is anticipated that the county terminal will be adequate for existing commerce and that the Army wharf will be abandoned. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Construction of the project was completed under contract. A total of 348,171 cubic Yards of material was dredged from the channel and basin, and 18,491 tons of stone were placed in the breakwater. The costs were $210,625.63, all for new work. The expenditures were $233,139.97. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionof the project was 2868 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 commenced in April 1947 and completed in January 1948. The costs from Federal funds to June 30, 1948, have been $260,- 239.67, all for new work. The expenditures have been $260,239.67. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended, $29,760.33, is available for revocation. The sum of $1,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for a condition survey.

PORT ANGELES HARBOR, WASH. Location.-This harbor is located on the southerly shore of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, about 60 nautical miles eastward of Cape Flattery and 64 nautical miles northwesterly of Seattle, Wash. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6303 and 6382.) Existing project.-This provides for deepening to 30 feet at meafn lower low water of the easterly 150 feet, more or less, of the shoal between deep water in Port Angeles Harbor and the pierhead line in the vicinity of the plant of Rayonier, Inc. The diurnal tidal range is 7.2 feet, and the extreme range is about 15 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1948, is $38,700. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945. (See H. Doc. 331, 77th Cong., 1st sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.-There are 11 piers and wharves in Port Angeles Harbor. Two serve general cargo terminals and are open RIVERS AND IIARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2869 for public use. One of these (which is publicly owned and operated) is suitable for use by oceangoing vessels. The other, privately owned and operated, is used by vessels in the Puget Sound-British Columbia trade. The remaining nine are used for various industrial purposes and, of these, four are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels. These facilities are considered adequate for existing com- merce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.--No work has been done under this project. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1949.

WATERWAY CONNECTING PORT TOWNSEND BAY AND OAK BAY, WASHINGTON Location.-The canal connects two bays which are arms of Ad- miralty Inlet on the west side of Puget Sound, in the northwestern part of the State of Washington, about 40 miles north of Seattle. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6405.) Existing project.-This provides for a canal 15 feet deep at mean lower.low water, 75 feet wide on the bottom and about 4,800 feet long, and for the construction of jetties to protect the channel at the southern or Oak Bay end, and a bulkhead for the retention of dredged material. The extreme tidal range is 16 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher water is 8.3 feet in Port Townsend Bay and 9.4 feet in Oak Bay. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1915, was $77,500. The latest (1918) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Doc. 625, 62d Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1915, page 3441. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are no terminal facilities directly served by the canal. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project was com- 2870 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 pleted in 1915. A survey completed in August 1945 showed a least depth of 12.8 feet at mean lower low water. The bulkhead and jetties are in good condition. The costs and expenditures under the existing project have been $73,322.35 for new work and $57,431.31- for maintenance, a total of $130,753.66. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, $1,000, and an allotment of $25,000 received in July 1948, a total of $26,000, will be applied to maintenance dredging, by hired labor, in March 1949.

EVERETT HARBOR, WASH. Location.-On Port Gardner Bay, at the northern end of Pos- session 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, 1894, provided for a basin in front of the Everett Peninsula, for a channel from the end of the basin around the peninsula to the head of Old River, and for a dike from the lower end of Smith Island to the south end of the basin. By author- ity of joint resolution of Congress approved April 23, 1902, the work in Old River was discontinued. The project was further modi- fled 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 An' RIVERS AND IIARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2871 nual Report for 1905, page 2005 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1883 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a training dike in the upper harbor extending from Smith Island to a point opposite Twenty- third Street, with a gap of suitable width at the outlet of Snohomish River Channel and spur dikes to regulate the flow through the gap; for a channel shoreward of the training dike, between the outlet of the main river channel and deep water in the lower harbor, 100 feet wide and 8 feet deep at 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 chan- nel 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 publiihed map.) Local cooperation.--None required. Terminal facilities.--There are 24 wharves and piers on Everett Harbor and Snohomish River-1 4 are located on Port Gardner Bay, 5 on the channel to the gap, and 5 on Snohomish River. Eight wharves are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels; all of these are located on Port Gardner Bay and east waterway channel, 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 com- Inerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-A condition survey of east waterway and the channel below the gap was completed in July and August 1947 by hired labor. Maintenance dredging total- ing 252,500 cubic yards was accomplished in the settling basin and the 8-foot channel above the settling basin, by contract during March and April 1948. The costs and expenditures were $58,979.74, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1940. Dike work was commenced in September 1911 and 2872 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 fair condition. The channel between the river outlet and the lower harbor was dredged to 8 feet in 1931 and the settling basin was completed in 1940. Dredging of east waterway has been completed by local interests. Controlling depths when last ascertained (August 1947) were 9.2 feet in the channel from the lower harbor to the settling basin, 13.4 feet over a width of 270 feet in the settling basin,* 8.3 feet in the channel from the settling basin to the gap in the dike (March and April 1948), and 30 feet in east waterway, except over one small shoal in the southerly end with a least depth of.27.8 feet (August 1947). The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1948, have been $325,968.16 for new work and $219,484.81 for maintenance, a total of $545,452.97. The expenditures have been $545,452.97. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, $1,026.15, together with $50,000 received in July 1948, a total of $51,026.15, will be applied to maintenance dredging in the settling basin and in the channel, by hired labor, during April and May 1949. The additional sum of $50,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for maintenance dredging during April and May 1950.

CHIEF JOSEPH, FORMERLY FOSTER CREEK DAM, COLUMBIA RIVER, WASH. 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, 1ly 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 gravity overflow dam on the Columbia River, 220 feet high, for a Powerhouse 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 (made in 1948) is $206,000,000 (15 units). Annual operation and maintenance will range from $810,000 for the first 3 units to $1,425,- 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 con- tains 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 ex- ploration, laboratory studies, and design studies, was continued. The costs were $340,266.86, all for new work. The expenditures Were $315,062.78. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The basis of design was 43 per- cent complete. No work has been done on project plans and specifi- cations. The costs have been $373,971.80, all for new work. The expenditures have been $346,295.47. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, $253,704.53, together with an allotment of $42,000 received in July 1948, a total of $295,704.53, will be applied to accounts payable, $27,676.33, and to continuation of work on the basis of design, the program of investigation of leakage in the right abutment, and preparation of plans and specifications for construction of access facilities.

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 RIVERS AND fAlRBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2875 latest (1942) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $13,000.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied 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 con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A condition survey of the entrance channel, dike and jetty was made in April 1948 by hired labor, at a cost of $2,065.30, all for maintenance. The expendi- 'tures were $2,814.18. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was sub- stantially completed in 1931, omitting the groins, which do not ap- pear necessary or desirable. Some deterioration has occurred in the jetty. The dike is in good condition. An examination in April 1948 showed the controlling depth of the entrance channel to be 5.7 feet over a width of 90 feet. The total costs from regular funds to June 30, 1948, have been $68,000 for new work and $99,887.49 for maintenance, a total of $167,887.49. The expenditures have been $167,887.49. .Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, $33,473.81, together with $35,000 received in July 1948, a total of $68,473.81, will be applied to restoration of the dike and jetty at the mouth of the river, dredging of the entrance channel, and to condition surveys, April to June 1949, all by Government plant and hired labor. The additional sum of $35,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for maintenance, by Government, plant and hired labor, as follows: $15,000 Dredging channel, 3 months, April-June 1950-.------------ -------- Repair of dike and jetty as required ---------------------- 20,000 Total__----- -------------------------------------- 35,000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948 _---------------- _-------$68,000.00 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948_,---------- ----------- 99,887.49 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948------. .. 167,887.49 Net total expenditures- ----------------------------- 67,887.49 Unexpended balance, June 30, 1948-1---------- -------------- 33,473.81 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1948.--------- 201,361.30 -. 804711----48-----vol. 2----87 2876 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

PORT GAMBLE HARBOR, WASH. Location.-PortGamble Harbor is on the east side of Hood Canal 20 miles northwest of Seattle, Wash. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6450 and 6412.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 30 feet deep at mean lower low water, 200 feet wide and about 3,000 feet long, at the entrance to the bay. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 10.3 feet. The extreme range is about 18.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, is $44,250, including $25,500 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1928) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $250.

This condition has not been met, and local interests reported under date of April 28, 1937, that, due to heavy losses suffered by the lumber industry, they were unable to bear such a large percentage of the cost at that time. Terminalfacilities.-There are two privately owned and operated RIVERS AND IIARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2877 wharves in Port Gamble Harbor; one located at a sawmill is suit- able for use by oceangoing vessels, the other is used by light-draft Vessels for handling petroleum products. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 62 percent complete. The original project for a 28-foot channel was completed in 1920. Survey made in August 1944 showed a depth of 28 feet Over a width of 110 feet. The costs and expenditures from Federal funds have been $11,911.08 for new work, and $1,031.16 for main- tenance, a total of $12,942.24. In addition $21,260.09 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposedoperations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed for the fiscal year 1949. The sum of $45,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for hired labor maintenance dredging with a U. S. hopper dredge during September 1949.

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 Washington. (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 enlarging the said waterway into a ship canal, with necessary locks and appliances. The project as modified by the River and 2878 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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. .d 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 1/ 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 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 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 Yessels; 8 serve for handling petroleum products; 16 for various industrial purposes; and 2 are not in use. The facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The locks were oper- ated throughout the year and ordinary repairs were made thereto and to the appurtenant structures as required, all work being done by hired labor. Contract operations were completed on the con- Struction of a public comfort station at the locksite and the installa- tion of steel sheet piling to provide a foundation for one section of the Portage Cut revetment. Maintenance dredging totaling 15,454 cubic yards was accomplished by contract in May and June 1948. The costs were $338,871.43, all for operations and care. The ex- penditures were $341,936.32. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1934. The water between the locks and Lake Washington is nontidal and is maintained between elevations 20 feet and 22 feet above mean lower low water in Puget Sound. The controlling depths when last ascertained were as follows: From.Puget Sound to the locks, 27 feet, the locks to Lake Union, 29.2 feet (November 1947) ; Lake Union to Lake Washington, 27.9 feet (January 1945). The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1948, have been $3,539,294.87 for new work, including $192,516.44 Public Works funds, $108,379.38 for maintenance, and $2,329,583.68 for operation and care, a total of $5,977,257.93. The expenditures have been $5,976,259.90. 2880 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 In addition, the sum of $1,631,195.33 was expended between 1916 and 1936 on the operating and care of the works of improve- ment, under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropri- ations for such purposes. In addition, there was expended by the State of Washington $246,567.07, and by King County, $742,070.51 in the excavation of the channel above the locks and in construction of concrete revet- ment at the portage.

Local cooperation.--Fully complied with, including agreement to pay half of the cost of dredging the settling basin at such time as in the judgment of the United States seems necessary. Terminal facilities.-There are 97 wharves and piers on Seattle Harbor, exclusive of those given in the report for Lake Washington Ship Canal. Fifty-two are located on Elliott Bay, 19 on east water- way, 15 on west waterway, 8 on Duwamish waterway, and 3 on Puget Sound near the northern limits of the port. Of these, 20 gen- eral cargo terminals 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 exist- ing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal:year.-A condition survey was made of east waterway in December 1947, and of Duwamish waterway above Fourteenth Avenue South in June 1948. The costs were $1,496.38, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,206.70: Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1931, except the settling basin. The controlling depths in1 west and east waterways when last ascertained were as follows: west waterway, 34 feet except along the edges, in November 1943; east waterway, 34 feet except along the edges and over two. shoals near the center line of the channel opposite the Lander Street ter- minal and opposite Isaacson Iron Works, over which the least depths were 32.5 feet and 27.8 feet, respectively, and 15.6 feet over a width of 200 feet in the southerly 600 feet of the waterway, December 1947. 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 Avenue South in January 1946; and 15 feet bY 90 feet from Fourteenth Avenue South for a distance of 1,700 feet; thence 10 feet.by 140 feet for 1,500 feet. Depths in the remainder of the waterway gradually decreased to 0.0 at the head of the water" way, June 1948. Local interests have practically completed dredg- ing of east waterway above the 750-section and of the turning basin at the junction of the waterways to 30 feet. RIVERS AND HARBORS---SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2883 The costs from Federal funds to June 30, 1948, have been $170,- 334.74 for new work and $413,545.24 for maintenance, a total of $583,879.98; and the expenditures have been $583,590.30. In addi- tion, $69,332.64 has been expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, $2,433.53, together with an allotment of $100,000 received in July 1948, a total of $102,433.53, will be applied to accounts payable, $289.68, and to maintenance dredging in east and Duwamish water- Ways by contract during September, October, and November 1948. The additional sum of $60,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for maintenance dredging in Duwamish water- way in March and April 1950.

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.) 2884 REPORT oF ChIIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Previousprojects.-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; suSd 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 super- seded 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 varying from 500 to 250 feet wide and 19 feet deep from the Fourteenth Street Bridge to the end of this waterway, a total length of 8,500 feet; (b) for a channel in Hylebos waterway 200 feet wide and 30 feet deep from Commencement Bay to the bend below Lincoln Avenue, thence 150 feet wide and 30 feet deep to a turning basin of the same depth, 410 feet wide and 900 feet average length; (c) construction of two training walls, each about 700 feet long, at the mouth of Puyallup River; and (d) dredging to a depth of 30 feet, an area in the Wapato waterway, not nearer than 50 feet from established pierhead lines or lateral limits of the waterwaY' nor 100 feet from the northerly line of East Eleventh Street. The extreme tidal range is about 20 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 11.8 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $574,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, and exclusive of $40,000 to be contributed by local interests for dredging Wapato -waterway. The latest approved estimates for annual cost of maintenance are as follows: City waterway (1928), $5,000; Hylebos waterwaY (1937), $2,000; Wapato waterway (1938), $1,000; Puyallup River training walls (1933), $2,500.

RIVERS AND IIARBORS-SEATTLE, WASII., DISTRICT 2885 Local cooperation.-Fully complied with, except for Wapato waterway, 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 required, 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 disposal 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 teminals and One serving a grain elevator are open for public use; two of the former and the latter are publicly owned. These facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.- A condition survey Was made of City waterway. The costs were $855.12, all for main- tenance. The expenditures were $498.28. Conditionat 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 $151,248.49 for maintenance, a total of $301,267.07, not including $5,000 expended for mainte- nance from contributed funds. The depths available, except along the sides of the waterway, as determined in April 1948, were as follows: 27.5 feet from Commencement Bay to South Eleventh Street, 20.1 feet from South Eleventh Street to South Fourteenth Street, and 16.7 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 $27,807.81 for maintenance, a total Of $240,309.41. 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, ex- cept near the edges, of 27.1 feet. The two training walls at the mouth of Puyallup River were com- Pleted in 1934 at a cost of $51,609.12, all for new work; and main- tenance costs, all for surveys, have been $2,695.01, a total of X54,304.13. 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 "I good condition. No work has been done by the Government on the existing proj- ect 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 westerly margin of the waterway for about 1,800 feet; 2886 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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. c 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, 1948, have bee $414,129.30 for new work, including $51,609.12 Public Works funlds and $181,751.31 for maintenance, a total of $595,880.61, not includ- ing $5,000 contributed funds for maintenance.. The expenditures have been $595,812.42. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, $1,838.86, plus an allotment of $50,000 received in July 1948, a total of $51,838.86, will be applied to accounts payable, $68.19, and to maintenance dredging in Hylebos and City waterways, by con" tract, during March and April 1949. The additional sum of $4,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for condition surveys.

Location.-This inlet, connecting Puget Sound with Shelton Har- bor, an arm of Oakland Bay, is located about 10 miles northwest of Olympia, Wash. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6460.) Existing project.--This provides for a channel 13 feet deep at mean lower low water and 150 feet wide from the entrance of the inlet to Shelton, a distance of about 7 miles. The extreme tidal range at Shelton is about 22.5 feet. The range between mean lower low Water and mean higher high water.is 14.3 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948, is $24,500. No approved estimate for annual maintenance has been made. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910 (H. Doc. 213, 61st Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.--There are nine terminals at Shelton, of Which four serve sawmills, one a pulp mill, three are used for handling petroleum products, and one, to which a float is attached, is Used jointly for handling petroleum products and general cargo. The float is used for mooring and servicing miscellaneous small craft, and is open for public use on equal terms. 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 com- Pleted in 1912, except for one shoal on which the controlling -depth Was 10 feet. Dredging done on this shoal in May 1937 failed to in- crease this depth on account of hardpan which the dredge was un- able to remove, but the dredging on an adjacent shoal restored proj- ect depth in the remainder of the inlet. The costs and expenditures have been $9,000 for new work and $9,000 for maintenance, a total of $18,000. Proposed operations.-No funds are available, and no operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1949. The sum of $5,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal Year 1950 for a condition survey.

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.) SPrevious projects.-The original project adopted by the River 2888 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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.

Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitably bulkheaded areas for the reten tion of dredged materials, when and as required. The Port Of Olympia was advised of these requirements December 30, 1946. I reply of January 2, 1947, they stated that they were not in a Pos tion to confirm the degree of local cooperation required, pending completion of a study being made for a comprehensive plan of i provement. Terminal facilities.--Thereare six wharves and piers on Olym Harbor. Two serve general cargo terminals that are open for publi ubP use; one of these, which is publicly owned and operated, is located on the improved channel and has sufficient depths alongside to acd commodate oceangoing vessels; the other, privately owned and operated, is used by vessels in the Puget Sound trade. The re- mainder are used for various industrial purposes. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. RIVERS AND HARBORS--SEATTLE, WASII., DISTRICT 2889 Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredg- ing totaling 149,457 cubic yards was accomplished, by contract, during the period October 1947 to March 1948.

GRAYS HARBOR AND CHEHALIS RIVER, WASH. Location.-Grays Harbor lies at the mouth of Chehalis River, in the southwestern part of the State of Washington, 45 miles north of the entrance to Columbia River. The inner portion comprises two main channels, the south and the north, connecting the harbor proper with the Chehalis River at Aberdeen. Chehalis River rises in the southwestern part of the State of Washington, about 40 miles east of the Pacific Ocean, flows in a general northwesterly direction and empties into the eastern part of Grays Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6195.) Previous projects.-The original project for the Chehalis River, adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882, provided for removal of log jams and for annual snagging. The original proj- ect for the inner harbor, adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892, provided for improvement of north channel, by con- structing 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 134 miles; thence 26 feet deep and 200 to 350 feet wide to the Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen, a distance of 24 miles; thence 18 feet deep and 200 feet wide to Cosmopolis, a distance of 3 miles; for a channel 16 feet deep at mean lower low water and. 150 feet wide from Cosmop- olis to Montesano, a distance of 1034 miles, with a turning basin at Montesano of the same depth, 1,500 feet long, and 200 to 500 feet Wide; for a channel 14 feet deep at mean lower low water and 100 feet wide in South Bay to Bay City; for a rubble-mound breakwater 1,000 feet long at Westhaven Cove; and for a rock-fill levee about 7,500 feet long, extending from the shore end of the south jetty northeastward along the beach at Point Chehalis. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 9 feet at Point Chehalis, 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 1948, is $6,622,200. This cost does not include amounts expended on previous projects and Navy funds expended on deepening from 26 feet to 30 feet the channel from deep water in Grays Harbor to the Port of Grays Harbor Commission terminal, nor does it include $211,500 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance dredging in the section below Aber- deen is $373,700. Local interests are to maintain the work above Aberdeen; enlarge and maintain Westhaven base. 80 4 7 11----48-vol. 2-88 2892 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 suitable public terminal at Montesano. These assurances have been given and $35,834.27 contributed, which was expended in 1931 with an equal amount of Government funds in securing a 1 2 -foot channel to Montesano, the remaining contribution necessary to complete the project being deferred until a later date, as approved by the Secretary of War, March 18, 1931. The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, continues the re- quirement that local interests shall pay one-half the first cost of enlarging the channel between Cosmopolis and Montesano, and fur- ther provides that the Grays Harbor Port Commission shall con- tinue to remove all snags and deadheads from the channels, sha furnish free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the dis- posal 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 with- out charge other than reimbursement to the Port of Grays Harbor. Commission for the operating costs of the dredge on a basis aP proved by the Chief of Engineers, and maintain the channel above the Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen. These conditions have been met as required to cover current needs. With Navy funds, the 26-foot channel was deepened to 30 feet, and widened to 350 feet in the narrow section, from the port terminal to deep water, at a cost of $162,000. SThe act of June 30, 1948, authorizing the Bay City channel and improvements at Westhaven and Point Chehalis, provides that local interests furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will furnish lands and rights-of-way required for RIVERS ANI) IIAltBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2893. construction and suitable spoil-disposal areas for initial dredging and subsequent maintenance, when and as required; maintain depths at the Bay City wharf commensurate with those of the chan- nel; lend to the United States the Port of Grays Harbor dredge for dredging the Bay City and Westhaven channels, without charge other than reimbursement for the operating cost of the dredge on a basis approved by the Chief of Engineers; hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of the improvements; enlarge and maintain the Westhaven base by dredging; and construct, in accordance with plans approved by the Secretary of the Army, maintain, and operate, adequate mooring facilities within the basin, utilities, and a public landing with suit- able service and supply facilities, open to all on equal terms. Terminal facilities.- There are 31 wharves and piers on Grays Harbor and adjacent inland waters: 1 general cargo terminal, 8 sawmill wharves, 1 pulp- and paper-mill wharf, 8 fish wharves, 6 miscellaneous industrial wharves, and 7 not in use. One general cargo wharf and 2 fish wharves are publicly owned and open to Public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Surveys were made by the U. S. survey boat Mamala at a cost of $27,977.68; and dredg- ing was done in the 30-foot channel below Aberdeen, including 259,- 752 cubic yards removed from the cross-over channel, 207,058 cubic yards removed from Sand Island Shoal, and 7,055 cubic yards re- moved from the Chehalis River at Aberdeen by the U. S. hopper dredge Donald A. Davison at a cost of $100,977.55, and 161,984 cubic yards removed from the north channel by the leased dredge Robert Gray at a cost of $35,342.21. Additional costs of dredging by the U. S. hopper dredge Michie during the previous fiscal year Were $109.09. The total costs from regular funds, for maintenance, Were $164,406.53, and the expenditures were $162,458.26. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 42 per- cent 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 1948, the inner 9,000 feet of the reconstructed jetty were at grade, the next 2,756 feet showed subsidence to a maximum depth of 18 feet below grade, and the outer 900 feet had been destroyed by the sea. Serious ero- Sion 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 completed to midtide elevation in De- cember 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 restored. The 4 12-foot section seaward of the reconstructed jetty is at the eleva- tion of mean lower low water, and the 7,300-foot section shoreward of the reconstructed jetty has sanded in. An examination of the 2894 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 reconstructed jetty, made in June 1948, showed that sea action had leveled the outer 325 feet; had breached the sand spit at the shore end, exposing old jetty rock to the east; and a 400-foot section about 2,000 feet from the outer end showed a settlement of approximately 4 feet. The 26-foot channel previously dredged by the port of Grays Harbor below Aberdeen was deepened to 30 feet from the port ter- minal to deep water in the lower harbor in 1945. The 18-foot chan- nel below Cosmopolis and 6-foot channel between Cosmopolis and Montesano were completed in 1910, and the latter was deepened to 12 feet in 1931. The controlling depths, when last ascertained, were as follows: Bar channel, 32 feet over a width of 500 feet (June 1948); deep water in lower harbor to port terminal, 28 feet over a width of 200 feet (June 1948) ; port terminal to Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen, 24.2 feet over a width of 200 feet (26 feet by 250 feet outside of established channel) (April 1948) ; Union Pacific Rail- road bridge at Aberdeen to Cosmopolis, 21 feet (August 1943); Cosmopolis to Montesano, 8.9 feet (April 1943). The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project is to increase the channel depth between Cosmopolis and Montesano to 16 feet, and dredge the turning basin at Montesano, provide a channel from deep water in South Bay to Bay City, and construct a rubble-mound breakwater and a rock-fill levee to protect Point Chehalis. The total costs of the existing project to June 30, 1948, have been as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular. .------------------.--.-.------ . $2,841,454.86 $11,592,008.57 $14, 43 , 463.43 ooo.00 00 Public Works..- --------------------------................................---.................. 57, 000. 00 5 Emergency Relief---................................-------------------.................. 409, 659. 55 40 ), 659.55 Total, United States Funds---------................ -- $2, 841,454.86 $12, 058, 668. 12 14, 90 0 122.98 3,723. 72 Contributed funds ------------------......................--......... 35, 834. 27 47, 889. 45 Total, all funds...............----------------------- 2, 877, 289. 13 12, 106, 557. 57 14, 9831,846. 70 The total expenditures were $14,898,383.44, of which $14,431,- 723.89 were regular funds, $57,000 Public Works funds, and $409,- 659.55 Emergency Relief funds.

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 Mail- boat 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 chan- nel 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, authorized the expenditure of funds for the improvement of Willapa River and Harbor, North and Nasel Rivers, by snaggin g 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 An- nual 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 loe water, with a minimum width of 500 feet; for straightening the river channel at the Narrows about a mile downstream from RaY" mond 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 fro'm deep water in Willapa Bay to the forks of the river at Raymond, 24 feet deep and 150 feet wide up the South Fork as far as the deep basin above the Cram lumber mill, and up the North Fork to a point opposite Twelfth Street, with a turning basin 250 feet wide, 350 feet long, and 24 feet deep at the latter point, and a closing dike at Mailboat slough; and for a channel from deep water in palix River to Bay Center Dock, with a depth of 10 feet at mean lower low water over a bottom width of 40 feet, widened at the shore" ward end to provide a small mooring basin. The length of the RIVERS AND IIARBORS-SEATTLE, WASII., DISTRICT 2897 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) ap- proved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $136,000, includ- ing $5,000 annually for the first 4 years of the cut-off channel at the Narrows.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with, except as modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, adopting Bay Center channel, which provides that local interests furnish, free of costs to the United States, necessary easements for the channel and 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 the same date. 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 con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results duringfiscal year.-Hydrographicsurveys were made by the U. S. survey boat Mamala at a cost of $20,067.02, all for maintenance. Dredging was done in Willapa Bay, including 58,810 cubic yards removed from North River shoal and 86,840 cubic yards removed from Toke Point shoal by the U. S. hopper dredge Donald A. Davison at a cost of $42,941.35. The total costs, all for maintenance, were $63,008.37. The expenditures were $63,063.76. 2898 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was corn- pleted 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 June 1948 showed a controlling depth of 22 feet over a width of 500 feet across the bar. The con- trolling depths in the inner channels were as follows: Below forks at Raymond, 23 feet over width of 150 feet (March 1948) ; lower 2,200 feet of North Fork, 24 feet over width of 80 feet, and lower 1,700 feet of South Fork, 24 feet over width of 100 feet (January 1948). There has been no navigation in the upper portions of the forks, and no soundings have been taken in recent years.

SKAGWAY, SKAGWAY RIVER, ALASKA Location.--Skagway River rises in White Pass at the boundary between 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 Geo- detic Survey Charts Nos. 8202 and 8303.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for (1) restoration of the existing breakwater to the original project cross- section and construction of a 300-foot extension thereto, and of two groins on its river side; (2) reconstruction and extension of the dike adjacent to the city; and (3) reconstruction of the existing dike at the sanatorium. The diurnal tidal range at the mouth of the river is 16.6 feet, and the extreme range is 28.5 feet. The estimates of costs are $696,400 (revised in 1948) for new Work and $10,000 (made in 1946) annually for maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. 695, 79th Cong., 2d sess.) This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation.-Localagencies are required to furnish assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will (a) pro- vide without cost to the United States all necessary lands, ease- nients, 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 maintenance of the project dike and breakwater ex- tension 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 fiscal year.-Preparationof the detailed report was initiated. Field surveys, soil investigations, and geologic investigations were completed. The costs were $8,- 479.16, all for new work. The expenditures were $8,419.71. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No construction work has been done. Operations have consisted of initiation of detailed report, and completion of field surveys, soil investigations, and geologic investigations. The costs have been $8,479.16, all for new work. The expenditures have been $8,419.71. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1948, $21,580.29, together with accounts receivable, $119.12, and an allot- inent of $15,000 received in July 1948, a total of $36,699.41, will be applied to accounts payable, $178.57, and to completion of detailed report and preparation of plans and specifications. The additional sum of.$651,400 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1950 to initiate and complete construction of the Project. 2906 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

SAL1MON RIVER, ALASKA Location.--Salmon River rises in Canada and flows in a south- erly direction into the southeastern part of Alaska and empties into Portland Canal at the town of Hyder. Its total length is about 25 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 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 (includin FLOOD CONTROL-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2907 $200 to be contributed by local interests) annually for maintenance. 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, approxi- mately $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.-There were no opera- tions other than an inspection. The costs were $76.67, all for main- tenance. The expenditures were $76.43. In addition, costs and expenditures from contributed funds amounted to $200, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935. The dike was in good condition in May 1948. The costs from Federal funds have been $34,231.20 for new work and $9,323.32 for maintenance, a total of $43,554.52. The expenditures have been $43,554.28. In addition, $7,000 has been expended from contributed funds for new work and $2,200 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The Federal funds unexpended June 30, 1948, $11,923.17, will be applied to accounts payable, $0.24, and to repairs to the dike, by hired labor, during June 1949. No operations are proposed and no additional funds are required for the fiscal year 1950.

STILLAGUAMISH RIVER, WAStI. 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 Stilla- guamish, Wash.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for works to reduce bank erosion and channel changes on Stillaguamish River between Arlington and the head of Hat slough, a distance of 15 miles, and on Cook slough, 3 miles long, as follows: Revetment at 26 places on the river and Cook slough; a concrete control weir 275 feet long between steel sheet pile piers at the head of Cook slough to limit flow through the slough; and 2 cut-off channels, each about 900 feet long, to eliminate sharp bends in Cook slough. 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.).

Location.-The Puyallup River has its source in the glaciers of the western slopes of Mount Ranier 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 cha n ' nel 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, revetting 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 con' junction with Mud Mountain Dam and is designed to afford pro- tection against floods about 50 percent greater than the maximum discharge of record. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1948, is $4,171,600. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved J une 22, 1936.

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 project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a rock-fill dam, 700 feet long at crest elevation and rising 425 feet above bedrock. The dam is located 28 miles above the confluence 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 cubic feet per second through two concrete-lined tunnels, with uncon- trolled discharge through a spillway having a maximum capacity of 139,000 cubic feet per second. The improvement is designed to afford flood protection to the White and Puyallup River Valleys and to protect the Tacoma industrial district in conjunction with the authorized project at that locality against floods about 50 percent greater than the maximum discharge of record. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. (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.-None required. Section 2 of the Flood Con" trol Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work under con- tract was completed on the 23-foot tunnel outlet works and on regrading of the spillway cut, and was in progress on the auxiliarY power supply, fishway structures, access stairs to the valve house, and exploratory work to determine the permeability of the north reservoir wall. Contract was awarded for new radial gate in 9 .foot tunnel. The costs were $424,739.31. New work by hired labor was in progress on reservoir clearinI just above the dam, and on engineering studies for new administra- tive buildings, employee housing, recreational development, an landscaping. The costs were $45,014.72. Maintenance, all by hired labor, including ordinary maintenance and repairs, improvement and reconstruction, fish haul, drift re- moval, maintenance and operation of gages, storm studies, settle" ment surveys, and operation and maintenance of gates and appur" tenant structures, was continued at a cost of $86,507.08. There were no floods of consequence during the year. However, water was stored for operational reasons at various times. I June 1948, to facilitate clearing operations, the pool was raised tO elevation 1067, the highest of record, equivalent to a head of 17 FLOOD CONTROL--SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2913 feet and a storage of 16,443 acre-feet. The old radial gate in the 9 -foot tunnel, which had been scheduled for replacement by a stronger gate, was destroyed at some time during this storage period, although the gate had been opened wide when the pool rose above elevation 1,003. A total of 7,792 migratory fish was hauled around the dam in tank trucks during the year. Drift removal continued to be a major operating problem, and about 23,000 cords were collected for burning during the fiscal Year. The total'costs were $556,261.11. The expenditures were $516,- 390.56. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project is prac- tically 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 modifica- tions are required to the control works. The 23-foot tunnel (1,991 feet long) has been completed, including the valve house, outlet valves, and penstocks. Bank regrading above spillway has been completed. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of the completion of access stairs to the 23-foot tunnel valve house, 24 percent complete; construction of fish-handling fa- cilities, 16 percent complete; installation of radial gate in 9-foot tunnel; reservoir clearing near intake structure, 75 percent com- plete; installation of auxiliary power supply, 59 percent complete; exploratory drilling and investigation of permeability of right Canyon wall of the reservoir, 92 percent complete; completion of reservoir and sedimentation survey, installation of radio-reporting equipment, landscaping, and construction of permanent adminis- tlrative and recreational facilities at the site. The costs to June 30, 1948, have been $11,812,124.49 from regular funds and $26,000 from Emergency Relief funds, a total of $11,- 838,124.49 for new work; and $420,753.76 for maintenance, a com- bined total of $12,258,878.25.

Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 4109.) Existing project.-This provides for an entrance channel 40 feet deep and 500 feet wide; easing the curve where the entrance chan- nel joins the inner harbor; deepening the harbor basin to 35 feet for a general width of 1,520 feet; dredging along the reserved channel a channel 35 feet deep, 1,000 feet wide, and 1,000 feet long, and thence a channel of same depth along the northerly side of the reserved channel 400 feet wide and about 3,000 feet long, connect- ing Honolulu Harbor with Kapalama Basin. 2931 2932 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, authorized the modification of the existing project to provide a depth of 35 feet over the full width of 600 feet throughout the reserved channel; a turning basin in Kapalama Basin 35 feet deep by 1,000 feet wide and 3,000 feet long; and a slip of like depth 1,000 feet long on the easterly side of pier 39. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 1.9 feet, and the extreme tidal range under ordinary conditions is 2.3 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1935, was $3,- 959,600. The latest (1948) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $35,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1905 Deepening the inner harbor with a general width Annual Report 1905, p. 2565. of 1,200 foot and( easing the curve between the entrance channel and the inner harbor .-.........

Terminal facilities.-There are 51 wharves in Honolulu Harbor, and 2 small passenger ferry landings. Forty of the wharves, and 1 ferry landing, are located along the entrance channel and the northerly side of the inner harbor basin, reserved channel and Kapalama Basin. The remaining 11 wharves and 1 ferry landing are located on Sand Island, along the southerly side of Kapalama Basin and the reserved channel. Exclusive of the facilities on Sand Island, 8 wharves are owned by the United States, 14 by the Territory of Hawaii, and 18 by pri- vate interests. Seven of these wharves are used only by barges, small vessels, or vessels handling special cargoes. Two of the United States owned wharves are controlled and managed by the Territory of Hawaii under revocable permit. Of the 14 wharves owned by the Territory, piers 6 and 16 have been removed due to their ad- vanced state of disrepair and unserviceable condition. The remain- ing Territorial owned wharves are administered by the Territorial Board of Harbor Commissioners, and are open to shipping on equal terms. Pipe lines for Diesel oil, fuel oil, kerosene, distillate, gaso- line, molasses, and water are available. FLOOD CONTROL-IIONOLULU, T. H., DISTRICT 2933 The remaining 11 wharves, ferry landing, and extensive marine repair facilities located on Sand Island, are owned by the United States. In addition to these facilities, the United States Army started construction of a slip in the northerly side of Kapalama Basin ad- jacent to the storage and terminal facilities in the vicinity of the United States owned piers 39 and 40. The slip is 151 feet wide by 544 feet long on the westerly side, 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. At that time, dredging was completed, piling was driven, and 450 lineal feet of concrete curtain wall and shelf were in place. There is a definite need for a powder and explosive terminal since existing facilities do not permit the proper handling of this type of cargo. Except for this need, the facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance opera- tions accomplished with Government plant and hired labor with regular funds consisted of the following: 1. Completion of hydrographic survey during August 1947 at a cost of $6,094.40. 2. Dredging 273,784.7 cubic yards of material to restore project depth at a cost of $166,908.25. 3. Hydrographic survey started during April 1948 and incom- plete on June 30, 1948, at a cost to date of $2,816.11. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $175,943.21 and total expenditures were $175,317.81. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in August 1945. The controlling depths in June 1948 were 40 feet in the entrance channel and 35 feet in the harbor basin, the reserved channel and Kapalama Basin, except for small areas along the project line between piers 36 and 39. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1948, was $4,- 500,873.78 from regular funds, of which $3,952,363.43 was for new work and $548,510.35 was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $4,500,372.83.

The existing project was authorized by the Public Works Admin- istration, September 6, 1933, and adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. 35, 73d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in that document. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There is one concrete wharf owned by the Territory of Hawaii, operated by the Territorial Board of Harbor Commissioners, and open to shipping on equal terms. The facilities are considered adequate. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance opera- tions accomplished with Government plant and hired labor with regular funds consisted of the following: 1. Completion of hydrographic survey during August 1947 at a cost of $630.99. 2. Dredging 75,832 cubic yards of material to restore project depth at a cost of $37,098.55. 3. Hydrographic survey during February 1948, upon completion of dredging, at a cost of $331.87. RIVERS AND HARBORS-HONOLULU, T. H., DISTRICT 2943 The total cost and expenditures for the year were $38,061.41. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in January 1934. The controlling depth in February 1948 was 23 feet, with the exception of a small area adjacent to the north- easterly corner of the project, where controlling depth was 10 feet. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1948, was $149,- 543.71, of which $103,200 (Public Works funds) was for new work, and $46,343.71 (regular funds) was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $149,543.71.

WAKE ISLAND HARBOR Location.--This harbor is at Wake Island, an atoll in the Pacific Ocean about 2,015 nautical miles west of Honolulu, T. H., and 2,650 nautical miles east of Manila, Philippine Islands. (See U. S. Navy Hydrographic 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 2944 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 turning basin of the same depth and 1,000 feet square just south of Peale Island; the channel dimensions to be suitably increased at the entrance and its exact location to be fixed as may be found advisable by the Chief of Engineers. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 2.5 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1936, is $1,000,000. The latest (1936) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $38,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. 84, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This docu- ment contains the latest published map. Terminal facilities.-Vessels tie up to the mooring buoys estab- lished off Wilkes Island to discharge cargo. A small tug, a few 75- ton barges, and several landing and smaller craft are available. Limited repair facilities are available. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done under the existing project. The controlling depth in 1945 was 13 feet in the entrance channel, with a minimum width of 60 feet. The boat basin is located at the lagoon end of the entrance chan- nel, on the Wake Island side. The basin is about 800 feet long and from 200 to over 300 feet wide. At the head of this basin there is a boat landing. On the southwestern side there is a wharf, and on the northeastern side a marine railway. Charted depths in the basin vary from 5 to 18 feet. (Data from 1948 Supplement to U. S. Navy Hydrographic Office Publication No. 165, Sailing Directions for the Pacific Islands, vol. I.) Proposed operations.-An allotment of $16,000 made during July 1948 will be applied to making a hydrographic survey, during the period August to October 1948. The sum of $2,500,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950 for completion of the project.

II., DISTRICT 2945 1,090 nautical miles northeast 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 en- trance 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 estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance 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 pro- vided for the entrance channel and harbor basin; and Rivers and Harbors Committee Document 9, Seventy-fifth Congress, first ses- sion, which provided for the seaplane basin, entrance channel there- to, and the breakwaters. For latest published map see the project documents. In addition to the foregoing, a Navy project provides for enlarg- ing the entrance channel to widths in the entrance from 700 feet wide at the seaward end to 300 feet at a distance of 2,000 feet, con- tinuing the latter width to the basin, with depths 32 feet in the outer 2,000 feet of the entrance and 30 feet in the remainder of the channel. TheNavy project was authorized by Public Law 43, Seventy-sixth Congress, first session, approved April 25, 1939 (H. R. 4278). Terminal facilities.-Port facilities consist of two piers, a sea wall landing area, several finger piers and a small boat landing. Depth alongside the two piers is 30 feet. Fuel oil and Diesel oil connections are available. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during the 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 completed. 2. Seaplane-basin dredging, 100 percent completed. 3. Harbor-basin dredging, 100 percent completed. 4. Construction of breakwater, about 98 percent completed. Con- crete cap for the breakwater will be installed by the Department of the Navy. The controlling depth in June 1946 was 31 feet in the main en- trance channel, 30 feet in the harbor basin, and 12 feet in the sea- plane basin. (Data from January 1, 1948, Supplement to United 2946 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 States Coast Pilot, the Hawaiian Islands second (1933) edition, and from the Department of the Navy.) The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1948, was $2,488,- 095.26 from regular funds, of which $2,488,056.39 was for new work and $38.87 was for maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,488,095.26. In addition to the above cost the Department of the Navy contrib- uted $1,370,147.29 to cover cost of additional blasting and dredging operations. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $13,000 received during July 1948, will be applied to making a hydrographic survey, during the period June to July 1949.

Location.--The harbor is 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 Nos. 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; 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, 2953 2954 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 maintenance of a channel about 6,000 feet long and 300 feet wide, 30 feet deep at mean low water, from the graving- dock channel to and including a turning basin with an average width of 1,000 feet and a length of about 1,700 feet, in front of the Army terminal in Pueblo Viejo Bay. The mean tidal range is 1.1 feet; the tide heights vary from about 1 foot below 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 in- cludes the entrance channel and turning basin to the Army ter- minal which cost $1,543,711.84; this expenditure was made from military appropriations and is not included in the estimate herein- before stated. The latest estimate, approved 1948, for annual cost of maintenance of the existing project, including the Army terminal channel and turning basin, is $200,000.

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 dis- posal 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 capable of docking deep-draft vessels; 16 on the north shore, 3 fronting the graving-dock turning basin, and 4 at the Army termi- nal turning basin, with an aggregate berthing length of about 21,000 feet. Ten are publicly owned, 10 are United States Government 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 con- RIVERS AND HARBORS--PANAMA DISTRICT 2955 nection with the railroad system. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Regular funds, main- tenance: Work on a condition survey to determine available depths was carried on with Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $16,429.18; the survey is 75 percent completed. Daily removal and disposal of floating debris were carried on with Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $7,779.81. Maintenance and operation of tide gage were carried on with Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $4,979. 38. Total costs were $29,188.37. Total expendi- tures were $28,574.04. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1942, except for 16,000 cubic yards of rock remaining in the entrance channel that was not removed by the contractor, the contract having been terminated by supplemental agreement. The controlling depths are as follows: Entrance channel, as of September 1944, 38 feet for a width of 300 feet along the center of the channel, to the bend; thence 32 feet for a width decreasing from 1,100 feet to 700 feet from the bend to the maneuvering area; 29 feet in the maneuvering area as of October 1944; 29 feet in the anchorage area as of August 1944; 29 feet in San Antonio Channel as of September 1944; 30 feet in the graving dock channel and turn- ing 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 on the south-central coast of Puerto Rico, about 150 miles by water southeast from San Juan Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 920 and 927.) RIVERS AND HARBORS-PANAMA DISTRICT 2957 Existing project.--This provides for a sea wall of an aggregate length of 2,362 feet, extending 2,000 feet along the causeway east- erly of the municipal pier and about 362 feet westerly from the municipal pier across a coral reef to deep water in the harbor; a bulkhead surmounted by a suitable concrete platform to be con- structed under the protection afforded by the sea wall, of an aggre- gate length of 4,340 feet, 2,870 feet to be designed for water 30 feet deep and 1,470 feet for water 18 feet deep; and dredging 2 areas channelward of the bulkheads, 30 and 18 feet deep and containing r, respectively; also for dredging to a depth of about 77 and47 acres, 30 feet at mean low water an area channelward of a line 100 feet from the faces of the municipal pier, and for construction of a break- water 2,400 feet long, extending southwesterly from Carenero Point. The mean tidal range is 0.6 foot; the extreme varies between about 1 foot below and 2 feet above mean low water. The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1948, is $1,163,000, of which $21,960.30 is the cost of work to be undertaken by local interests. The latest 1948 approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $60,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1925 Present project adopted. ----------------------- I.

Mar. 2, 1945 Elimination of the improvement of the area for a 9-foot Public Law 14, 79th Cong., 1st sesa 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 con- struction of a breakwater 2,400 feet long. Local cooperation.-Theproject 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 ap- proved by the Department of the Army. The project is contingent on the condition that the concrete bulkhead shall be completed by necessary stages in advance of the dredging. In addition to the items of local cooperation required by previous acts, the act ap- proved March 2, 1945, requires that local interests construct a rubble-mound bulkhead and public landing for small boats and rec- reational craft, and cede to the War Department, a 1-acre plot front- ing on the rubble-mound bulkhead. 2958 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 oper- ates the only deep-draft terminal facilities in Ponce Harbor, which consist of a municipal pier 515 feet long and 108 feet wide, and a bulkhead wharf 1,890 feet long. Both are equipped for the transfer and storage of freight. The municipal pier has a steel transit shed 386 feet by 85 feet. The bulkhead wharf has two steel storage sheds, one 362 feet by 58 feet and the other 262 feet by 58 feet. The facili- ties provided in the existing project are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A condition survey to determine available depths was completed, with Government plant and hired labor. The total costs and expenditures were $7,615.40. 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 ad- jacent to the bulkhead wharf, 86.5 percent; dredging in the area serving the municipal pier, 0 percent; total dredging 54 percent; construction of bulkhead, wharf in the 18-foot area, 0 percent; con- struction of the bulkhead wharf in the 30-foot project, 67 percent; total bulkhead wharf construction, 44 percent; sea-wall construc- tion, 100 percent; rubble-mound bulkhead to be built by local inter- ests, 0 percent; breakwater 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. A project is now underway by the Government of Puerto Rico for the repair and rehabilitation of that section of the bulkhead wharf that failed in 1931. About 362 feet of sea wall have been constructed and local inter- ests have completed a section of the bulkhead wharf about 1,890 feet long, on the southerly side of the 30-foot dredged area, and connected its easterly end with the causeway leading to the old municipal pier, by a riprap bulkhead. The controlling depths in the entrance channel of the 30-foot project serving the municipal bulkhead, as of November 1947, are: 22 feet in the left outside quarter; 29 feet in the left inside quarter, except for a strip 100 feet wide and 1,000 feet long along the left side at the inner end, with a least depth of 22 feet near buoy 5; 29 feet in the right inside quarter; 29 feet in the right outside quarter, except for a strip 100 feet wide and 600 feet long along the right side at the inner end, with a least depth of 24 feet. Controlling depths in the maneuvering area are: 28 feet in the left outside quarter ex- RIVERS AND IHARBORS--PANAMA DISTRICT 2959 cept, a strip of 100 feet wide and 800 feet long along the left side with a least depth of 17 feet, a small area at the outer right corner near buoy 5 with a least depth of 21 feet, and the inner 300 feet with a least depth of 24 feet; 28 feet in the left inside quarter, except a small area at the outer left corner, near buoy 5, with a least depth of 21 feet; 28 feet in the right inside quarter, except for the inner 400 feet, with a least depth of 26 feet; 27 feet in the right outside quarter, except for a shoal area from 15 feet to 100 feet in width, with a least depth of 17 feet along a line 10 feet out from the face of the bulkhead. 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 con- trolling depths as of November 1947 are: 28 feet in the two inner quarters of the entrance channel and maneuvering area, except for the inner 500 feet, with depths decreasing from 29 feet to 16 feet at the inner end with depths along the face of the pier decreas- ing from 27 feet to 22 feet; 27 feet in the left outside quarter except for the inner 300 feet with depths decreasing from 25 feet to 12 feet at the inner end; 24 feet in the right outside quarter except for the inner 500 feet with depths decreasing from 23 feet to 18 feet at the inner end. 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 980 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 bulkheads 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 landing for small boats and recreational craft. A 1-acre plot front- ing 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 $256,200.13; 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 $57,946.23 United States funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No funds are available for this project and no work is contemplated during the fiscal years 1949 and 1950. 2960 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 in- shore 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 (1948) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $20,000. The project was authorized by the Public Works Admin- istration on September 6, 1933, and adopted by the River and Har- bor 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.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The terminals consist of two piers used by lighters, located in shoal water in the east-central section of the harbor; and a modern deep-water terminal in the northeast section of the harbor, consisting of a bulkhead wharf about 1,270 feet long with a storage shed 800 feet long and 60 feet wide immediately shoreward thereof. The facilities appear adequate for the normal needs of commerce. RIVERS AND HARBORS--PANAMA DISTRICT 2961 Operations and results during fiscal year.-A condition survey to determine available depths was completed, with Government plant and hired labor. The total costs and expenditures were $6,837.40. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1934. The controlling depth in the approach channel, as of December 1947, is 30 feet except for a shoal 150 feet wide, with a least depth of 1.5 feet extending along the north limit for 400 feet from the inner end. In the maneuvering area, controlling depths are: 30 feet in the quarter close to the bulkhead, except for a sand shoal the full width of the quarter, extending about 150 feet from the westerly end of the quarter, with a least depth of 1.5 feet and a mud shoal the full width of the quarter extending about 400 feet from the easterly limit, with a least depth of 26 feet; 30 feet in the remaining area except for a mud shoal extending about 200 feet from the east limit with a least depth of 26 feet. The total costs and expenditures of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $249,717.94, 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 $81,531.25 regular funds were for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No work is contemplated during fiscal year 1949. The additional sum of $100,000 can be profitably expended dur- ing the fiscal year 1950, as follows: Maintenance: Predredging survey, plans and specifications, with Government $2,500 plant and hired labor---------------------------------- Dredging entr -nce channel and maneuvering area, expected to be done by contract---------------------------- ------------ 97,500 Total -------------------------------------------- - 100,000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948 ----------- $168,186.69 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948-------------------------- 81,531.25 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948--- 249,717.94 Net total expenditures-------------------------- ------- 249,717.94 Unexpended balance, June 30, 1948_--- -__________-_____ __- 21,162.60 Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1948-------------- 270,880.54 Fiscal year ending June 30- 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 Cost of new work....

ST. THOMAS HARBOR, V. I. Location.-The harbor is on the south coast of the island of St. Thomas, V. I., about 80 miles by water east of San Juan Har- bor, 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 about 3,150 feet long and from 3,650 to 1,600 feet wide, to a depth of 33 feet at mean low water, and construction of a breakwater 700 feet long between Rupert Rock and the mainland. The mean tidal range is 0.6 foot; the extreme varies between about 1 foot below and 2 feet above mean low water. Irregular fluctuations due to storms and hurri- canes materially affect navigation; however, they occur infre- quently. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1948, is $2,650,000, and the approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, made in 1948, is $25,000. The project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of Au- gust 26, 1937 (H. Doc. 200, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in that document. Local cooperation.-Under the project, local interests are re- quired to furnish, free of cost to the United States, necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance as required, and release the United States from all claims for damage attributable to the work of improve- ment. Assurances of compliance with all prescribed conditions were accepted as satisfactory by the Chief of Engineers on Octo- ber 3,1938. Terminal facilities.-The only deep-water terminal in St. Thomas Harbor is in the easterly part of the harbor and is owned and oper- ated by the West Indian Co. This terminal is stated to be a public- service terminal available to all on equal terms. On this wharf are suitable warehouses and a large area for open storage. The termi- nal is connected with the town by a good road. There are no rail- roads on the island, but motor transportation is available for han- dling freight. Numerous small wharves and quays along the north shore of the harbor serve as berths for the many small sailing vessels and RIVERS AND IIARBORS--PANAMA DISTRICT 2963 motor launches plying on active trade between St. Thomas and nearby islands. These docks are owned both by private interests and by the municipality; several are equipped with hand ctanes for handling heavy lifts; depth of water in the berths varies from 4 to 11 feet; and they 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, gradu- ally sloping to 16 feet at the limit lines in the northerly portion. Proposed operations.-No funds are available. The sum of $2,000,000 can be profitably expended in the fiscal year 1950 as follows: New work: Pre-dredging survey, plans and specifications with Government plant and hired labor ------------------- --------------- $40,000 Dredging entrance channel by contract- - -------------- ..--- 102,000 Dredging anchorage area by contract ----------------------- 1,764,000 Removal of Scorpion Rock by contract 94,000 Total, -------------------------------------------- 2,000,000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948____ Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948--------- Net total expenditures----- -------------------------------------- Total amount appropriated to June 30, 1948_ Amount (estimated) required to be appropriated for completion of existing project----------------------------------- - 2,650,000 Amount that can be profitably expended in fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, for new work. ------------- _-------------_-_- _ 2,000;000 5. ARECIBO HARBOR, P. R. Location. The harbor is on the north shore of Puerto Rico about 40 miles west of San Juan, Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 903.) Previous projects.-A previous project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935, subject to cer- tain conditions of local cooperation. Local interests were unable to comply with these conditions, and further, the type of deep- water terminal proposed was objectionable to navigation inter- ests. As a result no work was done and no expenditures were made under the project. For further details see pages 1619 and 1620 of Annual Report for 1936. Existing project.--This provides for construction of a stone breakwater 1,200 feet long extending from Point Morrillos to Cosinera Rock; dredging an entrance channel 25 feet deep at mean low water and 400 feet wide, flared to 650 feet wide at the ocean 2964 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 entrance and widened for the inner 650 feet of its length to form a maneuvering area of the same depth, and 900 feet wide, fronting the p'roposed deep-water terminal. The mean tidal range is 1.1 feet; the extreme varies between about 1 foot below and about 2.8 feet above mean low water. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1944, is $1,407,000, including $288,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1937) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $20,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937. (See Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 43, 75th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation.-Plansand specifications of a bulkhead wharf and terminal to be constructed by the Municipality of Arecibo were approved by the Chief of Engineers on December 19, 1940, and by the Secretary of War on December 23, 1940. Plans of a pro- visional wharf to be constructed of native timber to serve the needs of Arecibo Harbor until conditions again become normal, after which it was proposed to construct the permanent terminal in accordance with plans already approved, were approved by the Chief of Engineers on February 1, 1943. This provisional wharf was never constructed. A temporary lighterage wharf was built to serve such traffic as might use the port until a permanent ter- minal could be provided. On May 27, 1947, the Puerto Rico Trans- portation Authority, an agency of the Government of Puerto Rico which now has jurisdiction over the operation of Arecibo Harbor, submitted plans and specifications for a permanent deep-water terminal to supersede the plans and specifications approved by the Secretary of War on December 31, 1940. These plans were approved by the Chief of Engineers on September 17, 1947. The terms of local cooperation in reference to terminal facilities have not been complied with. Terminal facilities.-Other than the temporary lighterage wharf, no terminal facilities are available at Arecibo Harbor. The proposed marginal wharf and terminal, to be provided as local co- operation in accordance with plans approved September 17, 1947, are considered adequate for normal commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1944. The controlling depth is 25 feet except for a shoal area in the south half of the outer entrance channel with a least depth of 24 feet and an area at the southeasterly corner of the maneuvering area, extending about 400 feet west from the east- erly limit line and about 150 feet north from the southerly limit line, with depths decreasing from 25 feet to 1 foot. On February 1, 1943, the Chief of Engineers granted permis- sion to the Commissioner of the Interior, Government of Puerto Rico, to postpone the construction of the permanent terminal, au- thorized by the Secretary of War to be built as a measure of local cooperation, and approved plans for a provisional wharf to be constructed of materials available locally, to serve the needs of Arecibo Harbor until such time as conditions again became normal, after which the permanent terminal was to be constructed. This RIVERS AND HARBORS-PANAMA DISTRICT 2965 provisional wharf was never constructed. There was built a tem- porary lighterage wharf, designed to serve such traffic as might use the port until a permanent terminal could be provided. On May 27, 1947, the Puerto Rico Transportation Authority, an agency of the Government of Puerto Rico which now has juris- diction over the operation of Arecibo Harbor, submitted plans and specifications for a permanent deep-water terminal to supersede the plans and specifications approved by the Secretary of War on December 31, 1940. These plans were approved by the Chief of Engineers on September 17, 1947. The total costs and expenditures of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year were $1,418,504.88, of which $1,128,074.86 United States funds and $288,000 contributed funds were for new work and $2,430.02 United States funds were for maintenance. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended: at the end of the fiscal year, $13,395.12, together with an allotment of $1,200 made in July 1948, a total of $14,595.12, will be applied to a con- dition survey to determine available depths, to be undertaken dur- ing fiscal year 1949. No work is proposed during the fiscal year 1950.

SURVEYS FOR NAVIGATION, FLOOD CONTROL, POWER, AND IRRIGATION Existing project.-The existing project provides for making in- vestigations of those navigable streams and their tributaries whereon power development appears feasible and practicable, with a view to the formulation of general plans for the most effective improvement of such streams for the purposes of navigation and the prosecution of such improvement in combination with the most efficient development of the potential water power, the control of floods, and the needs of irrigation. The River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, adopted the project as laid down in House Document 308, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session, and added the following streams to those listed in that document: Red River, Yazoo River and tributaries, Pearl River, Altamaha River and tributaries, tributaries of the Warrior, Coosa, and Tombigbee Rivers. The Flood Control Act approved May 15, 1928, extended the scope of the investigation and surveys so as to include tributaries of the Mississippi River system, subject to destructive floods, and laid down certain additional investiga- tions 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, soall be supplemented by such additional study or investigation as the Chief of Engineers find necessary to take into account jmportant changes in economic factors as they occur, and additional stream-flow records: or other factual data. Operations and results.-Work on each of the surveys involved was inaugurated in the spring of 1928. Valuable cooperation has been received from other Federal agencies; from State, county, and municipal engineers; from levee and drainage districts, hydro- electric companies, railroads, universities, and other local sources of information. Stream-gaging stations, where needed, have been established mainly in cooperation with the United States Geo- logical Survey. At the close of the fiscal year 1948, surveys of 191 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 An- nual Report for 1938, pages 1953-1957. In addition, four reports have been transmitted to Congress as follows: Name of stream Transmitted to Congress Printed in document No. Mississippi River above the mouth of the Ohio River......

During the year the Foreign Ports Branch prepared reports and secured information for the Military Intelligence Division, Office of the Chief of Engineers, as required. By resolution of the Committee on Rivers and Harbors, House of Representatives, dated April 18, 1930, a review of reports on abandonment and curtailment of river and harbor projects, printed in House Document 467, Sixty-ninth Congress, first session, with a view to determining whether any changes in the recommenda- tions made therein are advisable at the present time, is requested. Information in response to this resolution is being collected by the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors and report thereon will be submitted as soon as practicable. Studies prescribed by various river and harbor acts and by Section 500 of the Transportation Act of 1920 were continued and the results published in two series of reports known as Port Series Reports and Miscellaneous Series Reports. 2973 2974 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Miscellaneous special studies were made in connection with subjects pending before the Board and in response to specific re- quests by the Office of the Chief of Engineers and other govern- mental agencies; and tables, graphs, and maps have been prepared as necessary in connection therewith. BEACH EROSION BOARD The Beach Erosion Board was organized under authority of section 2 of the River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930 (Pub- lic Law 520, 71st Cong.) which authorized and directed the Chief of Engineers under the direction of the Secretary of the Army to cause investigations and studies to be made, in cooperation with public agencies of the various States, to devise effective means of preventing erosion of the coastal and Great Lakes shores by waves and currents. To furnish the technical advice and assistance re- quired in this program, the Chief of Engineers was directed to form a board of seven members to assist in the conduct of studies, review the reports on such investigations and submit recommenda- tions. By executive ruling the agency applying for a cooperative study under this act is required to contribute 50 percent of the estimated cost of the investigation. Each study results in a report containing plans and specific recommendations as to methods or means to improve or remedy a condition at a particular locality. A summary of such cooperative studies follows: Number ----------- of applications for studies approved prior to July 1, 1947 62 Number of applications for studies approved during fiscal year 1948--------- 4 Number of reports completed prior to July 1, 1947-------------- --------- 46 Number of reports completed during fiscal year 1948--------------------- 4 Number of studies remaining to be completed ----.---- ------------------- 16 This basic law was supplemented by section 5 of the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935 (Public Law 409, 74th Cong.) which provided that every report submitted to Congress looking to the improvement of the entrance at the mouth of any river or at any inlet for navigation contain information concern- ing the configuration of the shore line and the probable effect of the proposed improvement on the coastline for a distance of not less than 10 miles on either side of the entrance. Another supple- mentary law was the act approved July 31, 1945 (Public Law 166, 79th Cong.) which made it the duty of the Chief of Engineers, through the Beach Erosion Board, in addition to participating in cooperative investigations under the basic law, to make general investigations with a view to preventing erosion of the shores of the United States by waves and currents and determining the most suitable methods for the protection, restoration and development of beaches; and to publish from time to time such useful data and information concerning the erosion and protection of beaches and shore lines as the Board may deem to be of value to the people of the United States. 2975 2976 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Federal participation in the cost of protecting the shores of publicly-owned property was established in the act approved Au- gust 13, 1946 (Public Law 727, 79th Cong.) which declared it to be the policy of the United States to assist in the construction, but not the maintenance, of works for the improvement and protection agains erosion by waves and currents of the shores of the United States that are owned by States, municipalities and other political divisions; provided that the Federal contribution toward the con- struction of protective works shall not in any case exceed one- third of the total costs and that the plan of protection shall have been specifically adopted and authorized by Congress after investi- gation and study by the Beach Erosion Board. The word "shores" as used in the act includes all the shore lines of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, the Great Lakes, estuaries and bays directly connected therewith. On June 30, 1948, the Board was composed of the following members: Col. Charles L. Hall, United States Army, Senior and Resident Member; Col. Leland H. Hewitt, United States Army, District Engineer, Seattle, Washington; Col. Herbert D. Vogel, United States Army, District Engineer, Buffalo, N. Y.; Lt. Col. William B. Stelzenmuller, United States Army, Assistant Resident Member; Mr. Richard K. Hale of Massachusetts, Director, Divi- sion of Waterways, Massachusetts Department of Public Works; Mr. Thorndike Saville of New York, Dean of the College of Engi- neering, New York University; Mr. Morrough P. O'Brien of Cali- fornia, Dean of the Department of Engineering, University of California. During the fiscal year 1948, the Board carried out studies and investigations in cooperation with appropriate agencies of various States and territories and with the field offices of the Corps of Engineers to develop efficient works for the protection and sta- bilization of the shores and beaches of coastal and lake waters. The Board completed cooperative beach erosion control studies of Win- throp Beach, Mass. (final report) ; Harrison County, Miss.; San Juan, P. R.; Cleveland and Lakewood, Ohio. The report on Harri- son County, Miss., printed as House Document 682, Eightieth Congress, recommended Federal participation in the cost of pro- tecting this shore and adjacent highway, and such Federal partici- pation was authorized in the River and Harbor Act approved June 30, 1948 (title I of Public Law 858, 80th Cong.). The Board also completed two reports on preliminary examinations with a view to shore protection, one report on the shore protection of Federal property, and 42 reports on the beach erosion aspects of proposed navigation improvements as provided in section 5 of River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935. In addition to the foregoing the Board has continued general investigations of means of protecting shores and beaches against erosion, in accordance with the authorization contained in the act approved July 31, 1945 (Public Law 166, 79th Cong.) cited above. Five publications reporting the results of these studies are in preparation. Three articles prepared by the staff were published in the technical press. Publication of the quarterly bulletin was RIVERS AND HARBORS-BEACII EROSION BOARD 2977 continued. At the end of the year, investigations were in progress covering the littoral movement of beach material, the movement of dredge spoil from offshore areas to the shore, the determination of equilibrium profiles of beaches, model scale effects in shore phenomena and the development of wave measuring instruments and techniques. Three wave observation stations were established and are in operation at Huntington pier, California, at the Stand- ard Oil pier, El Segundo, Calif., and at Fishing pier, Long Branch, N. J. A cooperative wave observation station was established 8 miles offshore Grand Isle, La., in the Gulf of Mexico, on a drilling Platform erected by an oil company. Several reexaminations of areas previously studied by the Board were completed for the Purpose of verifying predictions and the soundness of recommenda- tions for protective works.

CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION This Commission, consisting of three officers of the Corps of Engineers appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate, was created by the act of Congress approved March 1, 1.893 (27 Stat. L., p. 507), was organized in San Francisco, Calif., on June 8, 1893, and has jurisdiction and duties extending over the drainage area of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, compris- ing the great central valley of California and extending from the crest of the Sierra Nevada on the east to that of the Coast Range on the west and from Mount Shasta and the Pit River Basin on the north to the Tehachapi Mountains on the south. These rivers empty into the head of Suisun Bay, ultimately 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 pre- vent the resulting debris from being carried into navigable waters or otherwise causing damage. Second. To study and report upon general hydraulic and hy- draulic-mining conditions and matters affecting or affected by them and to make surveys, mature and adopt plans for the purpose of improving the navigability, deepening the channels, and pro- tecting the banks of the rivers, and affording relief from flood damages. While the Commission was to "adopt" plans as a result of its study, the act creating it did not provide means for directly carry- ing them out. Congress, however, has from time to time adopted certain of the plans formulated by the Commission and charged it with their execution, under the direction of the Secretary of the Army and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers. During the past year, the Commission consisted of the following officers of the Corps of Engineers: Col. Dwight F. Johns, presi- dent; Col. Lester F. Rhodes, secretary, to August 24, 1947; Col. Jos. S. Gorlinski, since that date; and Col. S. N. Karrick, member. The secretary has immediate supervision of the work of the Com- mission. IMPROVEMENTS Navigation Page 1.

REGULATION OF HYDRAULIC MINING AND PREPARATION OF PLANS Location.-Operations are largely limited to the territory be- tween Mount Lasen 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-min- ing operations, planning the improvement of conditions upon the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers and their tributaries affected by such operations, and the preparation of plans to enable hy- draulic mining to be resumed in their drainage areas. On applica- tion by prospective miners, full investigation is made by the Cali- fornia Debris Commission, and permits to operate are issued to those who provide satisfactory debris-restraining basins by con- struction 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. I)oc. 98, 47th Cong., 1st sess. drainage areas of the Sacramento and San Joaqulin 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.) Ipounding works, provided there is no injury to the navigability of the above river systems or the lands adjacent thereto. June 19, 1934 1 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 D)ebris 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 the Army is authorized to act approved Mar. 1, 1893.) enter into contracts to supply storage for water and use of outlet facilities from debris storage reservoirs for domesticandirrigation purposes and power de- velopment, upon such conditions of delivery, use and payment as he may approve; these payments are to be deposited to the credit of such reservoir project, reducing its capital cost to be repaid by tax on mining operations.

RIVERS AND HARBORS -CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2981 Local cooperation.-Mine owners are required to bear all ex- penses incurred in complying with the orders of the Commission for regulation of mining and restraint of debris. Operations and results during fiscal year.--There were 46 hy- draulic mining inspections made at a cost of $162.87. Administra- tive 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 $7,876.36. The total cost of all activities was $8,039.23. Total expenditures were $7,276.21. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The Commission has received 1,275 applications for hydraulic mining licenses; 21 mines are licensed, of which 7 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 $698,518.16, for maintenance. The total expenditures were $697,- 584.50. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $1,894.43, plus an allotment of $15,000 made in July, 1948, a total of $16,894.43 will be used for payment of accounts payable, $933.66, and the remainder will be applied to maintenance as follows: Applications for permission to mine by hydraulic process will be duly investigated and considered; mines operating under exist- ing permits will be regulated, and necessary inspections, prepara- tion, and approval of plans will be made, as during preceding years. Studies, examinations, surveys, and miscellaneous opera- tions will be continued. New mines are now operating with storage afforded by the North Fork debris reservoir on American River, and Harry L. Englebright Reservoir on Yuba River. The additional sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended for maintenance during the fiscal year 1950 in order to continue the work assigned the Commission and meet the needs of the State and general public, requiring consultation with the Commission.

TREATMENT OF THE YUBA RIVER DEBRIS SITUATION- RESTRAINING BARRIERS Location.--The works are located on the Yuba River between Marysville and the place where the river emerges from the foot- hills, near Hammonton, some 10 miles easterly from Marysville, or about 9 miles below the Narrows. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif. Existing project.-This provides for storage of mining debris within the bed of the Yuba River by means of a debris barrier, and by the restraint of flow channel to narrow limits by means of training walls and other regulation works. The object of storing this debris in the Yuba River--a nonnavigable stream-is to keep it from passing into the Sacramento and Feather Rivers to the detriment of navigation therein. The variation in water levels due to floods is about 12 feet. The estimate of cost of new work, made in 1900, was $800,000, one-half of which was appropriated by the State of California. The latest (1922) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000 including $15,000 from local interests. (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. Geo- logical Survey topographic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Local cooperation.-Requirementsof local cooperation are being complied with, progressive with the work .The State of California RIVERS AND IIAtRBORS--CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2983 contributes annually an amount equal to Federal allotment. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance: By hired labor, repairs were made to current retards between Marys- ville and Daguerre Point, 11 miles upstream, along with channel clearing and. blasting hardpan ridges in the flood channel, at a total cost of $11,142.10, of which $7,538.59 was United States funds, and $3,603.51 was contributed funds. The expenditures were $7,495.98 United States funds and $3,603.51 contributed funds, a total of $11,099.49. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was com- pleted in 1935. Three training walls, having a total strength of 85,100 feet and providing two 500-foot channels, have been built, partly by gold-dredging companies and partly by the United States. A cut was made through Daguerre Point and a concrete spillway constructed therein. The channel between Marysville and the training walls has been cleared of obstructions. Dikes have been built to block off old sand channels. The result has been to hold millions of cubic yards of mining debris in Yuba River which would otherwise have passed into the navigable channels of Feather and Sacramento Rivers. The total cost was as follows: Funds Newwork Maintenance Total United States-..---------------------------- -- $361, 482. 28 $260, 958. 77 $622, 441. 05 Contributtod..--- ------- .-- ---------------- - - 361, 776.74 256, 723. 26 618, 500. 00 Total----------...............------------------------ 723, 259.02 517, 682.03 1, 240, 941.05 The total expenditures were $1,240,868.55, of which $622,368.55 were United States funds and $618,500 contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, amounting to $33,370.97, plus an allotment of $18,000 made in July, 1948, together with $18,239.52 to be contributed by the State of California, a total of $69,610.49, will be used for accounts payable, $72.50, and part of the remainder, or $34,537.99 will be ap- plied to maintenance between August and December, 1948, to clear the channel between Marysville and Daguerre Point, 11 miles up- stream, 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 remaining funds, or $35,000, are being held in reserve for installation of a fish ladder at Daguerre Point, subject to conferences being held with other governmental agencies, as to type of structure and its cost. The additional sum of $15,000 (together with an equal contri- bution from the State of California) can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1950, between July and December, 1949, on work similar to the above (except for fish ladder construction), by hired labor and Government plant. The work is necessary to pre- vent debris entering Feather and Sacramento Rivers, which are navigable streams. 2984 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

(See U. S. Geological Survey sheets for the basin areas, seven in num- ber.) Existing project.-The project was designed to permit the re- sumption of hydraulic mining on a substantial scale and provides for the construction of four reservoirs at the following sites: (1) The Upper Narrows on Yuba River; (2) the North Fork site on the North Fork of American River; (3) a site on the Middle Fork of American River; and (4) a site on Bear River. The estimated cost for new work, made in 1935, is $6,945,000. 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 docu- ment. 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 were to be furnished the Secretary of the Army for repayment of the capital cost of the reservoirs from taxes on material hydraulically mined, under licenses, and impounded in these reservoirs. These have been furnished and accepted for sites (1), (2), and (3) above. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: There were no operations nor expenditures. Maintenance: Miscellaneous repairs at the North Fork and Harry L. Englebright Dams cost $179.42, and guard service cost $8,571.43. The preceding work was by hired labor; total cost was $8,750.85. Total expenditures were $8,641.48 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 76 per- cent 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. The dam is 155 feet high, 620 feet long, and the reservoir has a debris-storage capacity of 26,000,000 cubic yards. The contract for the Harry L. Englebright Dam con- struction 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. Work at the Ruck-A-Chucky dam site on the Middle Fork of American River was stopped, settlement of the contract was completed, and field investigations were made and report rendered with a view to the selection of another site. Work was postponed on the Dog Bar site on Bear River due to litigation in- RIVERS AND HARBORS---CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2987 volving mining interests, and a review of the report in the project document was made, giving consideration to alternative locations of the proposed dam. This review has been reassigned. The total cost of all activities was $5,291,374.99 for new work and $245,627.05 for maintenance, a total of $5,537,002.04. The total expenditures were $5,536,026.62. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $2.840.61, plus an allotment of $17,500, made in July, 1948, a total of $20,340.61, will be applied during the fiscal year 1949, as follows: Accounts payable ----------------------------------------- $975.42 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 channel below the mouth of Cache slough, for making two cutoffs between the mouth of the Feather River and Colusa, for construc- tion of four bypass weirs and the reconstruction of another, for construction of outfall gates at the mouth of Butte slough, for construction of levees including certain drainage pumping plants, for the construction of bank-protection works and levee set-backs; for channel clearing, rectification, snagging, and bank protection, along Sacramento River and tributaries in Tehama County and from Red Bluff southerly; for maintenance, during construction of these works, of the enlargement river channel below Cache slough, including revetment of banks of the cut; and maintenance and operation during this period, of the gaging stations on navi- gable rivers and streams. The Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944, provides for con- struction and enlargement of levees along the Sacramento and Feather Rivers, in Butte Basin and in Sutter and Yolo bypasses; for local improvements, chiefly levees, on nine minor tributaries of the Sacramento River; for the construction of the Black Butte Dam and Reservoir on Stony Creek, westerly from Orland, Glenn RIVERS AND HARBORS-CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2989 County; and for the construction of a low level dam and reservoir, with power facilities, at Table Mountain, in Tehama and Shasta Counties. This work is reported under "Sacramento River and tributaries, California, from Collinsville to Shasta Dam" by the Sacramento district. The estimated Federal cost of the project, including new work and maintenance (made in 1948) is $42,600,000, exclusive of amounts expended under the previous project. In addition, local interests have contributed for project work a total of $4,949,437.55 for levee construction, bank protection works, and levee set-backs, besides reimbursing the United States in the amount of $1,132,- 243.41 for the cost of construction incidental to the procurement of rights-of-way, an obligation of local interests. Total contribu- tions, exclusive of the cost of land and easements procured directly by the State have been $6,566,172.33. 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 committee 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, provided that local interests were to contribute one-half the cost of construction of project levees, estimated at $3,191,500, and furnish the lands, rights-of-way, and easements therefor. The modified project which was adopted in the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, provided that the State of California should execute and 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 Com- mission; should hold and save the United States free from dam- ages due to construction works, and provided further, that the bank revetment for protection of levees above Cache slough, and the levee reconstruction recommended in the project document (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 with- out cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of- way for said works, including the cost of all alterations to high- ways, 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 understand- ing that the contribution of funds will be made as required by the progress of the work; and the State of California was to undertake the operation of the movable top of Sacramento weir in accordance with the schedules established by the California Debris Com- mission. 2990 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 The modification of the project authorized in the Flood Control Act of August 18; 1941, relieves local interests of all future con- struction costs under the existing project, but requires them to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army 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 regula- tions prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. The requirements are being complied with, progressive with the work. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Levees were constructed along flood channels, including reinforcement of uncompleted levees, clearing brush and removing snags, and in- cidental work on roads and irrigation facilities, with total yard- ages placed in levees as follows: Along Feather River, 347,543 cubic yards; Yolo bypass, 2,900,685 cubic yards, and American River, 574,500 cubic yards. Total yardage of this levee work was 3,822,728 cubic yards, and total cost, including preliminary sur- veys and preparation of plans, placing 39,535 tons of gravel, and 120,822 tons of cobbles, was $1,102,587.18 by contract, and $212,- 334.27 by hired labor and Government or hired plant, a grand total of $1,314,921.45 during the fiscal year. The following work, including surveys and preparation of plans, was done by contract and by hired labor and Government plant, or plant under contract for its hire and operation, in bank protec- tion and levee set-back activities on the main river, between mile 13.5 and Colusa Weir (mile 146) : 25,730 tons of rock and 2,687 tons of gravel were placed on banks as revetment; and 173,654 cubic yards of material were placed in setting back levees. During the fiscal year a total of 8,945 linear feet of bank protection was completed, protective work being done at 12 locations. Total cost of the preceding activities was $224,601.80, of which the amount of $161,293.91 was by contract and $63,307.89 by hired labor. On the work of clearing the channel between Chico Landing and Red Bluff, from August to December, 1947, snags and debris were re- moved from the channel from Red Bluff downstream, by hired labor, at a cost of $33,515.98. Clearing of obstructions from over- flow channels (Sutter and Colusa Weir bypasses), February to June, 1948, by contract, 75 acres were cleared at a cost of $17,459.33. Total .cost of new work was $1,590,498.56 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 $484,491.64, and expenditures therefor were the same amount. Maintenance: The total cost was $12,315.97, for surveys, map- ping, and miscellaneous work, during the fiscal year.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT, MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1948. Commission headquarters. - Mississippi River Commission Building, 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, retired; Rear Adm. Leo O. Colbert, Director, United States Coast and Geodetic Survey; Albert L. Culbertson; Harry N. Pharr, civil engineer, until his death on November 3, 1947; Col. Clark Kittrell, Corps of Engineers; and DeWitt L. Pyburn, civil engi- neer, since April 22, 1948. Jurisdiction.-The Mississippi River Commission, created by act of Congress approved June 28, 1879, is charged, under the direction of the Secretary of the Army and supervision of the Chief of Engineers, with prosecution of improvements for flood control of the Mississippi River, and of its tributaries and outlets in its alluvial valley, so far as they are affected by Mississippi River backwater, between Head of Passes, La. (mile 0), and Cape Girardeau, Mo. (mile 1,016), and with prosecution of improve- ments in the interest of navigation between Cairo, Ill. (mile 966), and Baton Rouge, La. (mile 230). It also is charged with prose- cution of certain flood-control works on the Mississippi River and on tributaries so far as they are affected by backwater, between Cape Girardeau and Rock Island, Ill. (mile 1,446); more specifi- cally charged with control of headwater floods of the St. Francis and Yazoo Basins; protection of portions of the backwater areas near the mouths of the White, the Yazoo, and the Red Rivers, and with improvements of Bayous Rapides, Boeuf, and Cocodrie, La., and improvements and drainage of Boeuf and Tensas Rivers and Bayou Macon and Bayou Lafourche. Backwater limits on tribu- tary 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, Atchafalaya, and Lafourche Basins west of the river and the Yazoo and Pontchartrain Basins east of the river. Observations made by the Mississippi River Commission 2997 2998 IREPORT OF C TIHF OF EENGIXNEERS, U. S. ARIMY, 1948 to June 30, 1947, show approximate maximum and minimum dis- charges 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 Missis- sippi 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 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 representative gages are about 60 feet at Cairo; 53 feet at Memphis; 57 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 three officers have been detailed for duty in the office of the President of the Commission-as Secretary of the Commission, Assistant, and Director of the Waterways Experiment Station. Field operations of the Commission below Cape Girardeau are conducted by three engineer districts with limits as follows: New Orleans district.--MississippiRiver, Head of Passes (mile 0) to near Warrenton, Miss. (mile 424) ; Atchafalaya Basin; south bank of Red River upstream to Boyce, La., thence along Bayou Jean de Jean to Hotwells, La.; Bayous Rapides, Boeuf and Coco- drie, and Bayou des Glaises; north bank of Red River to Alex- andria, La. (backwater limit); Ouachita River and Boeuf and Tensas Rivers and Bayou Macon, in Lousiana; and Bayou La- fourche, La. Col. John R. Hardin, Corps of Engineers, district engineer. Vicksburg district.-Mississippi River from Warrenton, Miss. (upper limit of New Orleans district), on the right bank 151 miles to and including Arkansas River (mile 575), and on the left bank from the Mississippi-Louisiana State line (mile 303), 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 Ar- kansas; 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.-MississippiRiver from upper limits of the Vicksburg district, to north bank of Little River Diversion Chan- nel (mile 51 above Cairo and just below Cape Girardeau, Mo.), 440 miles, on the right bank, and to Thebes, Ill. (mile 46 above Cairo), 395 miles, on the left bank, with operations above Cairo MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2999 restricted to levee work; White River to Peach Orchard Bluff, Ark. (backwater limit) ; Levees to Gregory Hill and intermittently to a point about 3 miles above Augusta; St. Francis River and Basin, Mo. and Ark.; Little River Diversion Channel, Mo.; Ohio River, Ill. and Ky., to mouth of Cache River, Ill. District headquarters are located on Government reservation at West Memphis, Ark., opposite Memphis, Tenn. Col. E. P. Lock, Jr., Corps of Engineers, district engineer to November 1, 1947; and Col. L. H. Foote, Corps of Engineers, since that date. Field operations of the Commission above Cape Girardeau, re- stricted to levee construction under section 6 of the 1928 Flood Control Act (local interests contributing one-third of costs and furnishing rights-of-way), are conducted by two districts of the Upper Mississippi Valley Division which report direct to the Com- mission on matters within its jurisdiction. District limits are as follows: St. Louis district.-MississippiRiver from upper limits of Mem- phis 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. R. E. Smyser, Jr., Corps of Engineers, district engineer. 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 to June 21, 1948; and Col. R. L. Dean, Corps of Engineers, since that date. The Waterways Experiment Station.--At installations located in Vicksburg and Clinton, Miss., generally with engineer officers in charge, performs experimental investigations of all problems in hydraulics, soils mechanics, concrete, flexible pavement, and re- lated fields which are presented for study by other Corps of Engi- neers' offices and by the Department of the Navy and other Gov- ernment agencies. Lt. Col. Ralph D. King, Corps of Engineers, appointed director July 15, 1947. PREVIOUS PROJECT The project outlined in a report by the Commission dated February 17, 1880, contemplated improvement of the channel to secure a least depth of 10 feet at extreme low-water by contrac- tion of the low-water channel, protection of banks against caving, and control of 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 Mis- sissippi, Head of Passes to Cape Girardeau, from floods by means of levees, floodwalls, floodways, reservoirs (in the St. Francis and 3000 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 Yazoo Basins), bank stabilization and channel improvements in and along the river and its tributaries and outlets insofar as affected by backwater of the Mississippi River and for levee work between Cape Girardeau and Rock Island. The project also pro- vides for bank protection, channel improvement, contraction works and dredging to secure a navigable channel 12 feet deep and 300 feet wide from Baton Rouge to Cairo. Improvements completed under previous project and incorporated in the project are main- tained in accordance therewith. The estimate of cost of the exist- ing project, including modifications authorized by the act approved July 24, 1946, is $1,038,309,500, including maintenance charges through the fiscal year 1941. The estimated cost of annual main- tenance 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 out- lets; and table C contains data pertinent to dams and reservoirs.

OPERATIONS AND RESULTS DURING FISCAL YEAR Commission activities.-The two hundred thirtieth and two hundred thirty-first sessions of the Commission were held on board the U. S. steamer Mississippi en route from Cairo, Ill., to Baton Rouge, La., October 5 to 9, 1947, and April 24 to 27, 1948, respec- tively. On the river trips, major features of the project were in- spected, and 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 thirtieth session, the Commission acted on its report, "Mississippi River below Cape Girardeau with respect to West Tennessee tributaries" recommending that the existing project for the Lower Mississippi River and tributaries be modified to provide for channel improvements on the Obion and Forked Deer Rivers and their principal tributaries in the interest of flood control and drainage. At the two hundred thirty-first session, the Commission acted on its report, "St. Francis River and tributaries, Missouri and Arkansas" recommending modifica- tion of the existing project for the Lower Mississippi River and tributaries to include a comprehensive plan of flood control and 3006 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 drainage relief in the Mississippi River backwater area of St. Francis River and in the tributary basins of Little River and Big Slough Ditch. In addition to the semiannual inspection trips, via steamer, members of the Commission inspected major flood-control and navigation improvements under the jurisdiction of the Commis- sion. The President, Mississippi River Commission, and his engi- neering assistants made periodic inspections of flood-control, navi- gation, 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, February to April, 1948, flood-fighting forces were mobilized. Through the combined efforts of local authorities and departmental personnel, close contact with the flood situation was maintained and opera- tions 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 observations made. Results thereof are presented in detail in annual pamphlets issued by the Mississippi River Com- mission. Alluvial valley mapping.-Preparationand publication of con- toured maps of the valley (scale 1:62,500) were restricted due to lack of suitable drafting personnel. During the fiscal year work in the Memphis district was continued in preparation of authorized quadrangles east of Memphis, Tenn. Major revisions were also made to quadrangles adjacent to the Mississippi River, in the Memphis, Vicksburg, and New Orleans districts. 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 44,982,093 cubic yards of material was dredged in the Mississippi River channel by districts as follows: New Orleans district- (a) Channel maintenance.-Two Govern- ment pump barges operated on the Mississippi River at three locations between miles 380 and 361 AHP,'moving 1,138,141 cubic yards.

(f) Levees.-(See table E-2.) Memphis district--St. FrancisBasin, Ark., and Mo.- (a) Wap- papello Reservoir.--- (See table C.) The facility was maintained in operating condition and mosquito-control operations were con- tinued. Leasing of reservoir lands was continued and a patrol of the leased property was maintained. The contract entered into with the State Highway Commission of Missouri on April 4, 1947, for the relocation, rearrangement, or alteration of facilities of United States Highway No. 67 in the upper reaches of the reser- voir area in the vicinity of the new town site of Greenville, Mo., is approximately 60 percent complete. Construction of mainte- nance facilities, consisting of storage building, office and shop building, and remodeling laboratory building for housing of Gov- ernment employees, was completed, except for construction of an incinerator. The reservoir was empty of flood water on July 14, 1948. Maximum water elevation reached during the fiscal year was 369.30 feet mean sea level on January 2, 1948, when flood stor- age was approximately 169,500 acre-feet. Peak inflow was about 52,600 cubic feet per second on January 2, 1948. Outflows, main- tained in accordance with plan attained the design rate of 10,000 cubic feet per second January 2 to 4, 1948. (b) Drainage Improvement-Mississippi County Drainage Dis- trict No. 17, of Arkansas.--Contract, awarded during fiscal year 1947 and involving approximately 270,000 cubic yards of excava- tion for new drainage ditch and clean-out of existing drainage ditch, and construction of four bridges, was completed. Contract, involving approximately 900,000 cubic yards of excavation for new drainage ditch and enlargement of existing ditch, installation of a corrugated metal-pipe culvert, and construction of three bridges was completed except for minor clean-up. On June 30, 1948, 802,779 cubic yards of earthwork had been excavated and the construction of seven bridges completed. (c) Levees.-(See table E-3.) Costs for work accomplished on floodways, outlets, and basin 3012 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 improvements are given in table F. Waterways Experiment Station.-During the fiscal year, 305 investigations were under way. Status of all studies is set forth in pamphlets issued quarterly by the Waterways Experiment Sta- tion, for departmental use. The station is operated under a revolv- ing fund, costs being collected from agencies served. Costs for work chargeable to civil works appropriations during the fiscal year 1948 amounted to $4,509,329.80 including $3,104,757.68 for investigations done on a reimbursable basis, and $1,404,572.12 re- lated to improvements to the station. The total cost for operation of the station to June 30, 1948, was $18,965,451.02, of which $12,- 182,252.91 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 to the foregoing, $313,319, military funds, were expended on 27 investi- gations by the Flexible Pavement Laboratory during the fiscal year. The total of such tests to June 30, 1948, was $1,233,206. Floods.-Rains occurring over the upper reaches of the Missis- sippi River and Ohio River Basins during March and April re- sulted in a Mississippi River crest stage of 51.6 feet on the Cairo gage on April 2, 1948, with corresponding maximum discharge of about 1,300,000 cubic feet per second. Minor floods, carried be- tween the levees without crevasses, occurred in the St. Francis River Basin in January, 1948, and in the Ouachita River Basin during January, February, and March, 1948. In the Yazoo Basin, the February, 1948 flood was one of the most severe of record. Record flows on the Little Tallahatchie, Yocona, and Yalobusha Rivers produced crest stages of 32.2 feet at Swan Lake on the Tallahatchie Rider and 40 feet at Greenwood on the Yazoo River causing extensive flooding. It is estimated that completed flood control works in the basin reduced stages 3 feet on the Tallahatchie River and 1 foot at Greenwood on the Yazoo River. 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 meas- urements, etc., have been published and are available for depart- mental use and public distribution under prescribed regulations. Navigation and flood-control improvements completed under the existing project comprise levees, bank protection works,. channel improvements (including cut-offs), floodways, outlets, and tribu- tary basin improvements, summarized as follows: There are 2,679 miles of project levees, with earth-work aggre- gating about 1,238,000,000 cubic yards, below Cape Girardeau and 569 miles, with earth-work aggregating 101,000,000 cubic yards, above Cape Girardeau, as listed in tables E-1 to E-4. Roads have been constructed on 67 miles of levees in the New Orleans district, on 20 miles in the Vicksburg district, and on 298 miles in the Memphis district. In the New Orleans district about 32 miles of levees on the right bank and 14 miles on the left bank are MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 3013 Protected against wavewash by timber structures, and about 41 miles of levees on the right bank and 25 miles on the left bank are protected by pavement on the riverside levee slope. There are in place 163 miles of operative bank revetments on the Mississippi River and about 51/ miles on the Arkansas, Red, and Ohio Rivers as listed in tables D-1, D-2, and D-3. A channel 9 by 300 feet is maintained by dredging as required during the low-water season. During the high-water season, which usually prevails from the 1st of January to the 1st of June, greater navigation depths are available between Cairo, Ill., and Baton Rouge, La. Below Baton Rouge, La., a channel 35 by 500 feet is maintained by dredging as required during the low-water season under the River and Harbor project, "Mississippi River, Baton Rouge to the Gulf of Mexico, La." Since 1928 annual maintenance and premaintenance dredging have averaged about 30,000,000 cubic yards. In years of extreme low-water of long duration, as much as 75,000,000 cubic yards may be removed in the maintenance of 9 by 300 foot channel between Cairo, Ill., and Baton Rouge, La. Channel improvements accom- plished by improvement dredging to increase the flood-carrying capacity of the river now form part of the main river channel. These improvements, which include 16 completed cut-offs, have reduced the distance from Baton Rouge to Cairo to about 737 miles from its former value of about 860 miles in 1929. 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. Continuous levee systems, except at certain railroad and high- way crossings, extend along the east and west limits of the Atcha- falaya floodway; 87 percent of the East Atchafalaya Basin pro- tection levees and 88 percent of the West Atchafalaya Basin pro- tection levees, and both Morganza floodway guide levees are com- plete to approved grade and section. The condition of basin im- provements, including Wax Lake Outlet, Morganza and West Atchafalaya floodways, is practically unchanged from that given on pages 1884 and 1885 of Annual Report of Chief of Engineers for 1943, with the following exceptions: A channel, 9 by 100 feet from Bayou Boeuf to Bayou Long and through Bayou Chene from Bayou Black to Bayou Penchant has been provided to reestablish drainage east of the floodway and to provide an alternate route for the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway until Bayou Sorrel lock has been completed. The south gate of Bayou Sorrel lock is virtually com- plete and work is in progress on the north gate; Berwick floodwall and Charenton floodgate are nearing completion. Brushy Bayou drainage structure in the Simmesport ring levee and Morgan City flood wall have been completed. Work is in progress on the east and west Wax Lake levees and on Charenton-Intracoastal Canal levee. An agreement has been reached with the railroads con- cerned regarding the high-level crossings of the Morganza and West Atchafalaya floodways, and work has been initiated on the embankment section of the high-level crossing for the Texas & Pacific Railway's main line. Tentative agreement has been reached and preparation of plans initiated for a structure com- 3014 REPORT OOFCHIEOFOF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 bining the high-level crossings of the State Highway No. 30 and that of the Texas & Pacific Port Allen branch line, with a control structure for regulating the flow into the Morganza floodway. Riprap protection for bridges and enlargement of the Charenton Drainage Canal between Lake Fausse Pointe and the Gulf of Mexico are in progress. The reaches between Lake Fausse Pointe and Charenton and between Baldwin and the Gulf have been com- pleted. Work has been initiated for extension of the west bank levee system of the Atchafalaya River. The east bank levees are 95 per- cent complete and the west bank levees are 85 percent complete. A total of 7,237,294 cubic yards has been excavated over 26 miles for channel improvement and diversion in Bayous Boeuf and Cocodrie. A new cut-off and improved channel are complete from mile 6.9 to mile 32. Construction of a drainage structure on the south bank of Bayou Rapides is about 50 percent complete. Clearing and snagging and channel improvement are in progress on Tensas River and Big Creek, with 47 miles completed on the Tensas and 21 on Big Creek. Contracts have been let for con- struction of bridges and rearrangement of oil pipe lines and tele- phone lines on Big Creek. In the Yazoo Basin the Sardis and Arkabutla Reservoirs are complete and available for use as required. Relocation of United States Highway No. 51 across Arkabutla Reservoir is complete. Plans and specifications for Enid and Grenada Reservoirs are com- plete 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 highways and utilities and reservoir clearing is in progress. Relocation of Illinois Central Railroad facilities across Grenada Reservoir is in progress. Work on levees, drainage struc- tures, channel improvements, and cut-offs in the basin is in prog- ress. The condition of the St. Francis Basin improvements at the end of the fiscal year remains as given on page 1884 of Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers for 1943, except for the acquisition of Wappapello Reservoir lands which was about 99.6 percent com- plete at the end of the fiscal year; 9.9 miles of levee in Elk Chute drainage district constructed to project grade and section; 7.6 miles of levee on west bank of the St. Francis River constructed to project grade and section; 802,779 cubic yards of material ex- cavated and construction of seven bridges completed on drainage improvement in Mississippi County Drainage District No. 17, of Arkansas; construction of new maintenance facilities at the Wap- papello Dam completed, except for the construction of an incinera- tor; contract for the relocation, rearrangement or alteration of facilities of United States Highway No. 67 in the upper reaches of the Wappapello Reservoir area in the vicinity of the new town site of Greenville, Mo., approximately 60 percent complete; limited recreational facilities consisting of picnic areas, boat launching ramps, and parking areas made available for use by the public in MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 3015 the Wappapello Reservoir area; contract, awarded during fiscal year 1947, for the excavation of drainage ditch, construction of levee and spoil banks, involving approximately 1,330,000 cubic Yards of earthwork and the installation of drainage structure on the west bank of the St. Francis River in the St. Francis drainage district of Clay and Greene Counties, Ark., completed, except for dressing and sodding; contracts, awarded for the excavation of drainage ditch, construction of levee and spoil banks involving approximately 1,460,000 cubic yards of earthwork, the installation of drainage structures, and the construction of three bridges on the west bank of the St. Francis River in the St. Francis drainage district of Clay and Greene Counties, Ark., complete, except for dressing and sodding of the levee and spoil banks; 2,670,256 cubic yards of material excavated and construction of three bridges completed on the west bank of the St. Francis River in the St. Francis drainage district of Clay and Greene Counties, Ark.; con- tract, awarded for the excavation of drainage ditch and construc- tion of levee involving approximately 1,260,000 cubic yards of earthwork on the west bank of the St. Francis River in the St. Francis District No. 29, Craighead County, Ark., on which as of June 30, 1948, 38,904 cubic yards of earthwork had been excavated. Cross county ditch excavation is complete; and construction of bridge on Arkansas State Highway No. 42 is complete. The Waterways Experiment Station is actively engaged in con- struction and operation of hydraulic models, investigation of soils, concrete, and flexible pavements, and reporting results of experi- mental tests for proposed and authorized improvements related to civil and military projects for the Department, 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 Commission in compliance with section 10 of the act of May 15, 1928, are considered and the conclusions and recommendations of the Commission thereon are submitted to the Chief of Engineers. Total costs under the existing project incurred from United States and contributed funds to June 30, 1948, were $628,380,- 764.61 for new work and maintenance (see table G-1), and $12,187,774.24 for emergency repairs. Similarly, total costs for construction and maintenance of levees under the existing project and expenditures incurred therefor by non-Federal agencies are given in table G-2. PROPOSED OPERATIONS The balance unexpended on June 30, 1948, will be applied dur- ing the fiscal year 1949 in the prosecution of new work and main- tenance under the project. It is estimated that there will be no available balance from prior appropriations on June 30, 1949. Enlargement of the Mississippi River project levees in the New Orleans, Vicksburg, and Memphis districts to 1.941 project grade and cross section will be prosecuted to the extent of avail- 3016 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 able funds. About 141/2 miles of bank revetment will be con- structed. Existing flood-control structures will be maintained and operated. Improvement and maintenance dredging will be accomplished as required to maintain an efficient channel for navi- gation and flood control. In the New Orleans district, enlargement of the South Bank Red River levees to the project grade and cross section will be continued to the extent of funds available. Construction will be continued on Bayou Sorrel lock; on Charenton floodgate; on Berwick flood wall; on enlargement of the Charen- ton drainage canal from Lake Fausse Pointe to the Gulf; on the Opelousas to Ville Platte Railroad connection; on levees west of Berwick and south of Bayou Teche; on clearing for the New Orleans, Texas & Mexico Railroad high-level crossing of the West Atchafalaya floodway; and on enlarging the Atchafalaya River and basin levees to project grade and cross section; on Red River backwater levee; on channel improvement of the Boeuf and Tensas Rivers and Bayous Macon and Lafourche; on Bayous Rapides, Boeuf and Cocodrie channel improvement and the Bayou Rapides drainage structure; on wavewash protection to exposed Missis- sippi River levees; on the Somerset drainage structure. Con- struction will be initiated on high-level crossing for the New Orleans, Texas & Mexico Railroad over the West Atchafalaya flood- way, and the Texas & Pacific Railway, main line, over the Mor- ganza floodway; also a structure combining control of inflow to the Morganza floodway and high-level crossings for Highway 30 and the Texas & Pacific Railway, Port Allen Branch; East and West Calumet floodgates; Berwick lock; Bayou Lafourche cut-off channel in the Boeuf Basin; Bayou Cocodrie drainage structure in the Red River backwater levee; and two drainage control struc- tnres and several bridge alterations or reconstructions on Bayous Rapides, Boeuf and Cocodrie. In the Vicksburg district, work will be continued on construction of levees and appurtenant struc- tures along Coldwater and Yazoo Rivers and on construction of Enid and Grenada Dams in connection with Yazoo Basin head- water flood control. Relocation of highway facilities incident to construction of these dams will be initiated, and relocations of railroads will be continued. Plans for improvements in the Yazoo backwater area will be prepared. In the Memphis district, work will be continued on the Memphis Harbor improvement (Ten- nessee chute) and 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 depart- mental 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 developed. The Waterways Experiment Station will con- tinue to prosecute model studies and tests for proposed and au- thorized civil and military works for the Department and other agencies as required. During the fiscal year 1950, $89,000,000 can be profitably ex- pended for new work and $16,000,000 for maintenance.

By an act approved June 28, 1902, Congress appropriated the sum of $3,000 per year for the support and maintenance of the Permanent International Commission of the Congresses of Navigation and for the payment of the actual expenses of the property accredited national delegates of the United States to the meetings of the congresses and of the Commission. Beginning with the fiscal year 1936, such expenses were paid by allotment from the general appropriation for the improvement and mainte- nance of river and harbor works. The object of the association is the promotion of inland and maritime navigation by means of organized congresses, and the publication of pertinent informa- tion. Its headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium, but the con- gresses 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, libraries, and individuals. Governments are represented by dele- gates, the number of delegates being based on the amounts re- ceived annually from such governments and their nationals for the expenses of the Commission. Corporate membership may or may not include the privilege of representation by delegate. Two classes of corporate membership are available. The class paying the higher annual subscription has the privilege of representation by delegate. Life individual membership may be secured upon the payment of a single fee, or ordinary individual membership upon the payment annually of a fixed fee. 3. The general affairs of the association are managed by a per- manent Commission with the assistance of a permanent council. The Commission is composed of delegates from the supporting governments, and the council is chosen from the members of the permanent Commission, the representation in each case being -according to the amount of the annual contribution. 4. During the fiscal year 1948 the United States was represented as follows: On the American section of the permanent Commis- sion by Col. Spencer Cosby, United States Army, retired, chair- man; Brig. Gen. Gordon R. Young, Corps of Engineers, United States Army; Mr. J. Spencer Smith of the State of New Jersey; Maj. Gen. Glen E. Edgerton, Corps of Engineers, United,States Army; Rear Admiral William H. Smith, United States Navy; Col. Charles L. Hall, United States Army, retired; 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 Colonel Hall. 3043 3044 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 5. A second meeting of a restricted committee was held in Brus- sels on July 28, 1947 to further consider plans for reactivation of the association. The American section was represented by Col. Raymond L. Hill, Corps of Engineers, United States Army. 6. The first post-war meeting of the Commission was held in Brussels, Belgium, on October 6-8, 1947, when the American section was represented by Col. Charles L. Hall, Corps of Engi- neers, United States Army, and Mr. H. G. Kuyl. The association was officially reactivated and the invitation of the government of Portugal to hold the next navigation congress at Lisbon in Sep- tember, 1949 was accepted. 7. During the year copies of two semiannual bulletins, printed in English, were received from the central office in Brussels and distributed to the American members. 8. The expenditures for the year amounted to $1,690.50 for the payment of the traveling expenses of the delegates from the United States. 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 supervision of the Chief of Engineers, with the aid of such civilian engineers as the President deemed advisable. The Presi- dent appointed the Interoceanic Canal Board to assist the Chief of Engineers. The Governor of the Panama Canal made the in- vestigation at Panama, and a provisional battalion of United States engineer troops made the survey in Nicaragua. The report of the Chief of Engineers, together with the reports of the Interoceanic Canal Board, of the Governor of the Panama Canal, and of the officer in charge of the survey, was submitted on December 5, 1931, and published in House Document 139, Seventy-second Congress, first session. An officer and one non-commissioned 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 in- volved the operation within the watershed of Lake Nicaragua of a number of rainfall stations, also stations for making fog ob- servations, collection of evaporation data, recording lake levels and river stages, recording barometric pressure and humidity, and for gaging wind velocity and temperature. The appropriation for the investigation and survey was $150,- 000, all of which had been expended by the end of the fiscal year 1943. The River and Harbor Act, approved June 30, 1938, au- thorized the Secretary of War to continue the gathering of hydro- logical data in Nicaragua under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers as recommended in House Document 139, Seventy- second Congress, first session, and such incidental expenses as may be necessary in connection therewith are to be paid from appropriations hereafter made for examinations, surveys, and contingencies of rivers and harbors. The expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, were $27,437.09, from appropriations made for examinations, surveys, and contingencies of rivers and harbors. It is estimated that $9,600 will be expended in continuing the operations during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1949. 3045 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 devel- opments in all waters over which Congress has jurisdiction. The act further required that the work of the Commission be per- formed by and through the Departments of War, Interior, and Agriculture, and their engineering, technical, and other personnel, except as may be otherwise provided by law. By the act of June 23, 1930, entitled "An act to reorganize the Federal Power Commission," sections 1 and 2 of the Federal Water Power Act of June 10, 1920, were amended. A commission was provided for to be composed of five commissioners to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The necessity of performing the work through the Departments of War, Interior, and Agriculture was also removed and the Com- mission authorized to appoint such officers and employees as are necessary in the execution of its functions. By title II of the Public Utility Act of 1935, approved August 26, 1935, the original Federal Water Power Act was made part I of the Federal Power Act, and parts II and III added to that act. The law also provides that no water-power license affecting the navigable capacity of any navigable waters of the United States shall be issued until the plans of the dam or other structures affecting navigation have been approved by the Chief of Engi- neers and the Secretary of War. There is further provision where- by 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 pur- pose of ascertaining whether or not the jurisdiction of the Federal Power Commission will attach. To July 1, 1941, the following work of an engineering nature had been referred to the Department of the Army by the Com- mission: Engineering reports submitted ---------------- ____ 314 ________-------------------- Reports submitted on declaration of intention-------------------------- 121 Public hearing held --------------------------------------------------- 74 Licenses and permits referred for field supervision ---------------------- 144 Licenses and permits referred for supervision of steam gaging--------------- 2 In addition to the above, certain work pertaining to accounting and related matters was assigned to the Department of the Army between July 1, 1929, and July 1, 1941, as indicated in the follow- ing table: 3047 3048 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 the Army. 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 Con- gress of August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. 360) ; act of Congress of May 28, 1908 (35 Stat. 426); act of Congress of February 16, 1909 (35 Stat. 623); and act of Congress of June 7, 1924 (Oil Pollu- tion Act, 1924, 43 Stat. 604). Operations and results during fiscal year.-Notices to acquaint navigation interests with the laws and regulations relating to the harbor were issued with a view to obtaining cooperation in their administration; dumping grounds for stone, ashes, mud, cellar dirt, sewerage sludge, and other refuse were designated; and 3,476 permits were issued for the removal of approximately 24,408,485 cubic yards of material. Soundings were taken at frequent intervals over the designated dumping areas to insure that sufficient depth of waters was main- tained. Supervision was exercised by means of inspectors and patrols. Patrols were maintained to insure that no material was deposited at places other than the designated dumping grounds and to keep the main channels free of any interference to the safe navigation of these channels by deep-draft vessels; to prevent the discharge into navigable waters of waste oil and sludge, rubbish, and waste resulting from loading operations. The amounts of material reported to have been removed were constantly checked by the patrols. 3054 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

ANACOSTIA PARK AND THE RECLAMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ANACOSTIA RIVER AND FLATS FROM THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER TO THIE DISTRICT LINE, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA District engineer: Col. D. G. White, Corps of Engineers, to April 30, 1948; Capt. J. W. Califf, Corps of Engineers, acting district engineer, to June 4, 1948; and Col. Henry C. Wolfe, Corps of Engineers, since that date. 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 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 section from the mouth upstream to the foot of Fifteenth Street SE., was dredged to.a depth of 24 feet under a river and harbor project. The dredged material is to be used for fills. MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 3057 The project includes a constant-level lake or lateral basin on the west side of the river, to be known as Lake Kingman, and a smaller lake on the east side of the stream. The normal surface elevation of the lakes is to be 2 feet above mean low tide, and they are to be dredged to a depth of 6 feet. A culvert or small bridge is to be constructed over Lake Kingman on the line of Benning Road, and a lock and bridge is to be built at the lower end of Lake Kingman. Influent and effluent gate-control works are to be constructed to provide circulation 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-water or 1 foot above the level of the lake. A portion of the reclaimed tract is to be set aside for develop- ment by the Agriculture Department for a national arboretum and botanical garden. A strip of water-front land on the right bank of the river between the Anacostia Bridge and the Pennsyl- vania Railroad freight bridge is to be set aside for commercial purposes. The estimated cost of the project is $4,125,000 (October 1923). To this must be added $150,000 appropriated by act ap- proved July 3, 1930, and $15,000 appropriated by act approved April 4. 1938, for cost of land not covered in estimated cost of project because of increased commercial valuation and subsequent adverse court decision as to United States ownership. The acts of Congress authorizing and defining the present plan of improvement are as follows: District of Columbia Appropriation Act- Documents or reports July 2, 1914 ---------------------------------- 38 Stats. 549.

ARMY, 1948 The District of Columbia Appropriation Act approved March 2, 1911, 36 Stat. 1005 (Public No. 44), in authorizing the project provided that the work is to be carried on under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, upon plans pre- pared under the direction of, and to be approved by, a board of engineers to consist 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 Po- tomac 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 Director 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 thle 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. Be- ginning July 1, 1924, the District of Columbia paid all required above the lump sum appropriated from United States revenues. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Construction work on the project was deferred during the war, and has not been re- sumed due to lack of appropriations. Replanning and reestimating the project were continued throughout the year, at a cost of $1.855.44. Total costs for the year were $1,855.44, and total expenditures were $5.006.81, all applied to new work. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 70 per- cent completed.

D. G. White, Corps of Engineers, to April 30, 1948; Capt. J. W. Califf, Corps of Engineers, acting dis- trict engineer, to June 4, 1948; and Col. Henry C. Wolfe, Corps of Engineers, since that date. Location.-The diversion dam and raw-water intakes on the Potomac River at Great Falls, 131/2 miles northwest of Washing- ton, 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 reser- voir are located in Maryland. All other structures of the water- supply system including part of the raw-water collecting system, the purification facilities, pumping stations, storage reservoirs, and transmission mains are located within the District of Colum- bia. (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. 1800, Revised Statutes.) MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 3061 Existing projects.-The existing project provides for the main- tenance, operation, repair, and protection of the water-supply system; the maintenance and protection of MacArthur Boulevard and McMillan Park; the maintenance of water meters on Govern- ment services; 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, ap- proved 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-mainte- nance 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. Local cooperation.--Priorto July 1, 1880, the expenses of the Washington Aqueduct for construction, operation, and mainte- nance 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 were 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 Columbia 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, 1916, to date, have been paid wholly out of the water revenues of the District of Columbia. From July 1, 1927, to date, all expenses for construction have been paid out of the water revenues of the District of Columbia. By act approved June 10, 1920, $25,000 was appropriated wholly from United States revenues to prepare, among other things, a report to assure an increased and adequate water supply for the District of Columbia and this report was the basis for the improve- ments constructed 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 appro- priated from the water fund, District of Columbia, for the prepa- ration of a report "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 3062 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 480, Seventy-ninth Congress, contains the comprehensive plan and program for the improvements and additions to the water system to meet safely and adequately the anticipated water de- mands 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 con- tributed to the support of the District of Columbia but no part of such annual percentage or lump-sum contributions has been allo- cated to the water fund, District of Columbia, before July 1, 1947. Beginning with the fiscal year 1948, pursuant to act, Public Law 195, Eightieth Congress, approved July 16, 1947, $1,000,000 an- nually of the lump-sum contribution to the District of Columbia was allocated to the water fund, District of Columbia. Operationsand 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 208,870,000 gallons and the average daily consumption was 163,- 175,840 gallons. Based upon the estimated average population of 904,000 in the District of Columbia and 106,000 in Arlington County, the average per capita daily consumption was 161.56 gal- lons. The average daily consumption in the District of Columbia alone was 153,168,930 gallons or an average per capita consump- tion of 169.43 gallons per day. The average daily amount of water furnished to Arlington County, Va., was 9,631,366 gallons or an average per capita consumption of 90.86 gallons per day. The gross cost for the supply furnished 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 26,082,681 gallons. A total of 137,- 449,000 gallons was delivered to Maryland communities by the Water Division, District of Columbia, through connections to the Washington Suburban Sanitary District's system. The average turbidity of the raw water from the Potomac River was reduced from 137 parts per million to 0.08 parts per million and the average bacterial content was reduced from 6808 to 2 per milliliter. Approximately 84,904 tubes of water from 115 points in the purification and distribution systems were examined for bacterium colon. After sterilization of the filter effluent, the average number of bacterium colon per 100 milliliters was found to be zero (0) at Dalecarlia and 0.041 at the McMillan filter plant. The average alkalinity of the .filtered water was 61 parts per million and the average pH value was 7.65 from both the Dale- carlia and McMillan filter plants. The average hardness was 97 parts per million from Dalecarlia and 94 parts per million from McMillan. The over-all cost of water delivered was $39.30 per million gallons as compared with $39.13 in 1947. Construction work authorized for fiscal years 1947 and 1948 as of June 30, 1948, was as follows: New conduit repairs (initial MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 3063 allotment) 90 percent; new mixing and sedimentation basin No. 4, 52 percent; McMillan filter plant improvements (6 items), 15 per- cent; utility relocations, Dalecarlia, (4 items), 67 percent; distri- bution baffles in Georgetown reservoir, 95 percent; ventilating system for McMillan pumping station, 100 percent; increase ca- pacity of Dalecarlia sub-station, 5 percent; repair and rehabilita- tion of McMillan filters, 68 percent; relocating Dalecarlia filter plant acid storage tanks, 100 percent; bauxite storage warehouse at Dalecarlia, 40 percent; alum syrup dilution tanks at Dalecarlia, 20 percent. The preparation of plans for capital outlay projects'for increas- ing the water-supply system as authorized for fiscal years 1946 and 1947 has progressed as follows: six additional filters and plant interconnections at Dalecarlia, 100 percent; new mixing and sedi- mention basin No. 4 at Dalecarlia, 100 percent; 30-million-gallon clear-water basin at Dalecarlia, 75 percent; 40-million-gallon reser- voir 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 pipeline from Dalecarlia to Reno, 95 percent; crosstown interconnecting main from Dalecarlia to low- service area (first half), 15 percent; McMillan filter plant im- provements, 85 percent; utility relocations at Dalecarlia, 95 per- cent; distribution baffles in Georgetown reservoir, 100 percent; ventilating system for the McMillan pumping station, 100 percent; increased capacity of Dalecarlia substation, 100 percent; circula- tion facilities in first-high and second-high reservoirs, 100 percent; Georgetown reservoir improvements, 40 percent. Accident prevention.-Man-hours exposure during fiscal year 1948, 613,138; accidents 7; lost time (days) 68; accidents per million man-hours worked, 11.4; days lost per 1,000 man hours worked, 0.01. The annual appropriation act contained the following: "Nothing herein shall be construed as affecting the superintendence and control of the Secretary of the Army over the Washington Aque- duct, its rights, appurtenances, and fixtures connected with the same and over appropriations and expenditures therefor as now provided by law." The total cost for the fiscal year was $1,762,582.42, distributed as follows: Total Cost per million gallons Operating expenses: Collecting system----------.. --------------.--------------------.. $76, 545. 95 $1. 28 Purification svstem...------. -- ----.------------.-- .------. . -- 6---. 550. 674, 8' 11. 29 Pumping system- ..--------- ---------------------------------- 307, 743. 65 5.15 Transmission system----------.. ----------------------------------- 17, 606. 82 .30 Sub total-..........----------------------------------------------.............. 1,076, 447. 26 18.02 Capital outlay----------------------- ------------------------------ 673, 949.81 .. 12,185. 35 Increase in deferred accounts--.....-----------...........................

However, the demands upon the supply system have exceeded its nominal capacity and, for several years, its operation has been in the overload category. Major capital improvements recommended in House Document No. 480, Seventy-ninth Congress, have been delayed or deferred due to an insufficiency of funds which has put the program of construction for increased capacity two to three years behind schedule.

Water consumption already greatly exceeds the demands predicted in House Document 480, Seventy-ninth Congress, entitled, "Adequate Future Water supply for the District of Columbia and Metropolitan Area," so that the program of construction must be accel- erated to overcome these conditions. In anticipation of this hazardous situation, H. R. 1706, Eightieth Congress, indorsed by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, was introduced in the House of Representatives February 5, 1948, and re- ferred to the Committee on the District of Columbia but no action was taken. This bill would have author- ized the borrowing of funds for the greatly needed capital improvements. It is considered highly im- portant that a fiscal policy be developed which would permit the execution of the capital outlay program presented below: 1. Construction of six new filters at Dalecarlia including relocation of displaced shop facilities------ -- $895,000 2.

Such a program, however, is considered insufficient to meet the increas- ing water-consumption demands which, based upon the present trend, indicate that the overload capacity of the water-supply 3066 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 signi- ficant regions of the Great Lakes to a plane 30 feet below the adopted low-water datum of the open lakes and 25 feet below the corresponding datum in the channels of the connecting rivers, completion of triangulation and precise leveling needed to control the areas under survey, river-discharge measurements, investiga- tions of lake levels, magnetic surveys in and near main vessel courses, and prompt examination of areas where obstructions to navigation have been reported. Surveys-New York State canals.-The Sundry Civil Act of March 4, 1911, provided that the survey be extended to include the lakes and other natural navigable waters of the New York State canals. The project contemplated revision and adjustment by field reconnaissance of all existing survey data pertaining thereto, supplemented by such additional topographic and hydro- graphic surveys as might be required for the publication of naviga- tion charts of these waters. Field work under this project has been completed and the full set of charts has been published. Surveys-Lake Champlain.-The scope of operations was ex- tended by the Sundry Civil Act of June 23, 1913, to include Lake Champlain. Surveys of harbors and other important areas were commenced during the field season of 1928. This work was com- pleted in 1933. Surveys--Boundry waters between the Lake of the Woods and Lake Superior.--The Sundry Civil Act of August 1, 1914, extended the work of the Lake Survey to include these waters. The project provides for the preparation of navigation charts of the United States waters of the Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake, complete with hydrography. The project work was completed in 1938. Charts.--The project for chart preparation provides for gen- eral, coast, river, habor, 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 MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 3069 of Northern and Northwestern Lakes consists in publishing an- nually in April a revised volume of coast and harbor descriptions, etc., and seven monthly supplements from May to November, giv- ing 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 pertain- ing to effects of improvements, made or proposed, and of diversions at various localities; compilations and studies relating to rainfall, run-off, evaporation, water temperatures, ice 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 navi- gation, observation and study of lake levels, publication of bul- letins, supplements, and notices to mariners, and other continuing necessary activities, is estimated at $360,000 for the fiscal year 1949. Operations and results during the fiscal year-Surveys.-Four parties were in the field on July 1, 1947, and operations were con- tinued until mid-November. Four parties were organized in the spring of 1948. Field work was started in April and has been continued to the end of the fiscal year. Localities and character of work are as follows: Lake Superior: Examinations for chart revision were completed in all harbors and in other pertinent areas. Lake Huron: Inshore soundings in vicinity of Thunder Bay and Presque Isle were completed. Examinations for chart revi- sion were completed in all harbors and in other pertinent areas. St. Marys, St. Clair, Detroit Rivers: Examinations for chart revision were completed. Lake Erie: Beach erosion surveys for the Buffalo district and coincident inshore soundings were completed between Fairport and Chagrin River, Ohio. Similar work was begun between Vermilion and Rocky River, Ohio. Examinations for chart revision in harbors and other pertinent areas were begun. Lake Ontario: Examinations for chart revision were begun in harbors and other pertinent areas. Charts.-Duringthe year ending June 30, 1948, revised editions of 40 charts and one new bound volume of small boat charts were prepared and issued. The number of charts sold during the year was 37,840. The proceeds of sales, amounting to $18,593.95, were deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States. A total of 7,959 charts were issued for official use. Publication of bulletin, etc.--The descriptive bulletin publishes detailed information concerning coast lines, harbors, channels, 3070 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 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 supplements thereto are issued during the navigation season. Copies are sold to the public and issued to Government agencies. Supplements Nos. 3 to 7 to Bulletin No. 56 were issued between July and November, 1947. Bulletin No. 57 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 prepared and printed locally in May and June, 1948. 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 made, and precise levels were run in several sections along the river. Meas- urements of flow were begun in the Detroit River. Studies have been made relating to water levels and hydraulic problems of the Great Lakes system and to the effects upon lake levels of improvements for navigation.

The total expenditures during the year, after deducting receipts from reimbursements and sales, were $309,643.26. 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 MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 3Q71 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, 1948, a total sum of $312,343.55 was derived from the sale of charts and deposited in the United States Treasury. In all, 1,470,448 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 $6,767,253.92. The total expen- ditures under the existing project up to June 30, 1948, amount to $6,739,995.53. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1948, $27,258.39, plus an allotment of $300,000 made July 2, 1948; a total of $327,258.39, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1948-------------------------------- $27,258.39 Maintenance: Maintenance of gages and reduction of records---------------- 25,000.00 studies and investigations------------------------- 25,000.00 Hydraulic 115,000.00 Revisory surveys_----------- -------------------------- Control surveys, field and office expenses--------------------15,000.00 Chart preparation, correction, issue, and sale - - _- - 105,000.00 Bulletin and supplements, preparation and printing----------- 15,000.00 Unallocated balance --------------------------------- ---------- Total------------------------------------ -- 327,258.39 For utilizing the organization and plant to the best advantage on normal operations, work estimated to cost $440,000 can be profitably carried on during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, as follows: Maintenance: Maintenance of gages and reduction of records -------- ------ $35,000 Hydraulic studies and investigations---- ------------------- -- 20,000 Revisory surveys------------------------------------------230,000 Control surveys, field and office expenses_--- ----- --- _ -__ 20,000 Chart preparation, correction, issue, and sale---------_---------- 120,000 Bulletin and supplements, preparation and printing_-------- 15,000 Total_-------------------------------------- -- 440,000 Cost and financial summary Cost of new work to June 30, 1948 Cost of maintenance to June 30, 1948 _--------------------- $10,741,151.23 Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1948--------- 10,741,151.23 Minus accounts payable, June 30, 1948------------ ---------- 27,258.39 Net total expenditures--------------...........------------- 0,71.3,892.84 1.....

CROIX RIVER BOARD OF CONTROL Constitutionand 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 Manufacturing Co., Ltd., across the St. Croix River at Grand Falls in the State of Maine, and subsequent agreements reached between the Govern- ments of the United States and the Dominion of Canada. The Board is charged with the duty of formulating and adminis- tering rules under which the power plant and accessories are to be operated to prevent as nearly as possible a level of water at the dam higher than 203.5 (mean sea-level datum), and to secure to the users of water below Grand Falls the flow of water to which they are entitled. The Board is also charged with the supervision of the operation of all fishways on that portion of the St. Croix River that forms the international boundary. On October 2, 1934, the International Joint Commission issued an order approving the reconstruction of the dam, owned by Canadian Cottons, Ltd., extending across the St. Croix River from Milltown in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada, to Milltown in the State of Maine, United States of America, which con- tained the following conditions: 1. That the reconstructed dam be so operated as to ensure that the forebay levels rise to no higher elevation than that which has heretofore obtained in the operation of the dam now being replaced. MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 3073 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 members of the Board for the fiscal year 1948 were Mr. Victor Meek, Controller of the Dominion Water and Power Bureau, serving as Canadian member, and Brig. Gen. R. G. Moses, United States Army, serving as United States member. Operations during the fiscal year.--Supervision was maintained and inspections made to insure that the regulations of the Inter- national Joint Commission were carried out. Proposedoperations.-Onlysuch correspondence and inspections as may be necessary to carry out the regulations of the Inter- national Joint Commission. THE INTERNATIONAL LAKE CHAMPLAIN BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.-The Board was organized pursuant to the provisions of the orders, dated June 10, 1937, of the Inter- national Joint Commission, approving the construction and opera- tion of certain 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 com- pliance with the provisions of the order of approval insofar as they relate to the regulation of the levels of Lake Champlain. Members of the Board.-The members of the Board for the fiscal year 1948 were Mr. Victor Meek, Controller, Dominion Water and Power Bureau, for Canada, and Col. W. F. Heavey, Corps of Engineers, and Col. C. F. Williams, Corps of Engineers, for the United States. Operations during the fiscal year.-None. The construction of the Fryers Island Control Dam was completed in December, 1938. Gates have been installed but have not been operated, pend- ing excavation of the natural river control upstream from the dam. Proposed operations.--Only such administrative work and in- spections as may be necessary to carry out the regulations of the International Joint Commission will be performed. NIAGARA CONTROL BOARD Constitution and duties.-The Niagara Control Board was con- stituted in August, 1923, to measure and supervise the diversion of waters from the Niagara River so that the level of Lake Erie and the flow of the stream shall not be affected, in accordance with the provisions of article V, treaty between the United States and Great Britain-boundary waters between the United States and Canada-May 13, 1910. Article V of the treaty limits the author- ized 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 3074 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 per second for Canada was authorized October 14, 1940. Senate Executive Report No. 8, Seventy-seventh Congress, first session, authorized June 12, 1941, for defense purposes, additional diver- sion of 3,000 cubic feet per second for Canada, and 5,000 cubic feet per second for the United States. A further exchange of notes authorized November 28, 1941, additional diversions of 7,500 cubic feet per second for the United States, and 6,000 cubic feet per second for Canada. Members of the Board.-The Board consists of two members, one representing the Dominion of Canada and one representing the United States. During the past year the Canadian represen- tative 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 the Army desig- nated the district engineer, Buffalo, 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. Operations during the fiscal year.-The Board received daily reports of operations of the six hydroelectric generating stations on the Niagara River, all of which divert water above the Falls. These reports, submitted in form prescribed by the Board, show- ing for each hour the units in operation, the power output of each station, and quantities of water diverted, were checked by the Board. Monthly and annual summaries were prepared. Weekly and intermittent inspections of all plants were made by representatives of the Board members, jointly and individually, to obtain independent watt-meter readings of power output and to assure that all provisions of article V were complied with. One unit of the new DeCew Falls HIydro-Electric Power De- velopment was placed in operation October 15, 1943. The second unit was placed in operation September 26, 1947. 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 bi- weekly 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 addi- tion of two members-Dr. J. Horace McFarland being the addi- tional United States member and Dr. Charles Camsell the additional MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 3075 Canadian member-for an extended investigation into the preser- vation of the scenic beauty of the Falls and analysis of all factors relative thereto. The Enlarged Board was constituted into a Special International Niagara Board for the purpose of carrying on this investigation. On Decemberl11, 1929, the Special Inter- national Niagara Board submitted its final report to the two Gov- ernments, with recommendations in regard to remedial works, additional diversions, etc. This report was printed as Senate Document No. 128, Seventy-first Congress, second session. On January 17, 1931, a large mass of rock forming a part of the crest of the American Falls collapsed and fell into the gorge. A supplementary report, which reviewed the basic findings of the Board as presented in its final report of December 11, 1929, and which discussed the relationship of the rocl fall to these findings was prepared and submitted on November 10, 1931. This supple- mentary report confirmed the conclusions and recommendations made in the final report. This was the last investigation under- taken by the Special International Niagara Board. INTERNATIONAL MASSENA BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.-An order of the International Joint Commission issued after a hearing on the application of the St. Lawrence River Power Co. for permission to continue to maintain the submerged rock weir constructed by the company in the south Sault Channel of the St. Lawrence River, authorized the mainte- nance of the weir and, among other things, provided for a board of engineers to pass upon and control the new and old works involved. Members of the Board.-The Canadian member of the Board for the fiscal year was Mr. Norman Marr, Chief Hydraulic Engi- neer, Dominion Water and Power Bureau. In letter to the Secre- tary of State dated February 26, 1944, the Secretary of the Army 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. Operationsduring the fiscal year.--The Board kept in touch with conditions by means of inspections and with respect to the diver- sion 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 a representative of the district engi- neer on October 30, 1948. INTERNATIONAL LAKE SUPERIOR BOARD OF CONTROL Constitutionand 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 appurtenances with a view to so controlling the outflow from Lake Superior as to 3076 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1948 maintain its level as near as possible between elevations 602.1 and 603.6 feet above mean tide at New York. Members of the Board.--The members of the Board were Mr. Norman Marr, for Canada, and Col. Albert Riani, Corps of Engi- neers, for the United States. Operations during the fiscal year.-The Board kept in touch during the year with conditions pertaining to the diversion, through representatives of the United States and Canada on the ground, and by means of regular and systematic reports of the water levels in Lake Superior, in the channels of St. Marys River above and below the Sault Locks and in Lake Huron. Records of discharge at Sault Ste. Marie through the rapids, navigation canals, and power plants were also systematically reported to the Board. Changes in the rate of outflow from Lake Superior were directed as the need therefor was indicated by water level records. A joint inspection of the compensating works was made by the members of the Board July 2, 1947. 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 Engi- neers for the fiscal year were Mr. I. R. Strome, engineer, Dominion Water and Power Bureau, for Canada, and Col. Heston R. Cole, Corps of Engineers, to October 15, 1947, Col. Frank L. Beadle, Corps of Engineers, from that date to May 24, 1948, and Col. David A. Morris, Corps of Engineers, since that date, for the United States. LAKE OF THE WOODS The convention between the United States and Great Britain proclaimed July 17, 1925, provides for the regulation of the level of the Lake of the Woods in order to secure to the inhabitants of the United States and Canada the most advantageous use of the waters thereof, and of the waters flowing into and from the lake on each side of the boundary between the two countries. The convention also provides for the establishment and mainte- nance of a Canadian Lake of the Woods Control Board to regulate and control the outflow of the waters of the lake, and for the 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 ap- proval the rate of total discharge shall be subject whenever the elevation rises above elevation 1,061 or falls below elevation 1,056, sea-level datum. Operationsduring the fiscal year.-Supervision was maintained and inspections were made to ensure that the provisions of the convention were carried out. RAINY LAKE The convention between the United States and Canada, ratified MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 3077 by the United States Senate August 30, 1940, provides, in part, that: The International Joint Commission * * * is hereby clothed with power to de- termine when emergency conditions exist in the Rainy Lake watershed, whether by reason of high or low water, and the Commission is hereby empowered to adopt such measures of control as to it may seem proper with respect to existing dams at Kettle Falls and International Falls, as well as with respect to any existing or future dams or works in boundary waters of the Rainy Lake watershed, in the event the Commission shall determine that such emergency conditions exist. Operationsduring the fiscal year.-Inspections were made, basic data compiled, and engineering reports were submitted to the Com- mission. PRAIRIE PORTAGE The Prairie Portage Board of Engineers were formed by the International Joint Commission for the purpose of furnishing it with technical advice regarding the suitability of the dam struc- ture at Prairie Portage, Lake County, Minn. After approval of the plans by the Department of the Army and the International Joint Commission, the Board has been retained to advise the Com- mission further regarding progress of construction and regarding any other matters which might arise concerning this project. The United States Forest Service, which is constructing the dam, postponed work on this project during the war and at this time is merely maintaining the cofferdam, which was completed in 1941. R. A.
