The Mississippi River rises in Lake Itasca, Minn., and, from that lake flows in a southerly direction about 2,350 miles and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The portion included in this report embraces the 95-mile section known as the middle Missis- sippi, 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 984 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 exces- sive and protecting new and old banks from erosion where necessary to secure permanency; second, by dredging or other temporary expe- dients to maintain channels of project dimensions; third, by con- struction of works authorized for the Chain of Rocks reach in the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, which approved a compre- hensive plan for development of the Mississippi River at Chain of Rocks so as to provide for construction of a lateral canal at an esti- mated first cost to the United States of approximately $10,290,000, with annual maintenance and operation cost of $70,000, subject to RIVERS AND IARBOS---ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1181 such modification as the Chief of Engineers may find necessary when the project is undertaken; and to authorize the relocation of the river channel and reclamation of the area in Sawyer Bend for airport, park, recreational, and similar purposes at a cost to local interests of approximately $17,555,000; provided that any modifica- tion of the 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 development be under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers in order to insure that the interests of interstate and foreign com- merce be properly protected; and further provided that local inter- ests hold and save the United States free from any claims for dam- ages that might be incurred due to the construction, maintenance, or operation of such civic development or any part thereof (H. Doc. 231, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1951, is $100,080,000, with $1,370,000 for annual maintenance.

Terminal facilities. Most of the water terminal and transfer fa- cilities 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."' 1182 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction works were carried on by contract and by hired labor work with Govern- ment plant, with weather and river stages suitable for construction about 8 months of the year. Regulating works were maintained and project dimensions of channels were secured by dredging. Locations, quantities, and costs of open river regulating works were as follows: Miabove Dikes (hurdles) Class of work and locality mouth of Ohio River Number Linear feet Cost New work by contract: Power Island-Schenimann_ _ ----_ --------- 34-65 6 3, 275 $151,474 Fish Bend-- .........--- .....-------------------------- 141-143 3 1, 445 64,898 Total ..---....------------------------------------------... 9 4, 720 216,372 New. work by United States plant and hired labor: Cairo protection_ ----------------------------- 5-6 3 630 38, 748 Total..--------.....................--------------------------- ------------ 3 630 38,748 Maintenance by United States plant and hired labor---------------------------------------------- 7, 600 1241,763 1 Includes 100 linear feet of solid dikes at a cost of $2,473. 1 Bank protection (revetment) Miles Squares (100 above Linear Toe mouth Squares (100 Class of work and locality feet square feet) piles Cost of Ohio Number bank bank River protec- protec- tion Mattress Paving tion 1I- -I- 1I- New work by contract: Liberty_ __- -- 101 1,308 $ 60,104 Kaskaskia Island _ - 111.9 596 51,319 Ste.

Nine dikes, totaling 4,720 feet in length, were built under contract at a cost of $216,372. Three revetments, consisting of 5,655 squares of mattress and 5,063 squares of paving, were completed under contract at a cost of $304,- 124. Three pile dikes, totaling 630 feet in length, were built by hired labor with Government plant, at a cost of $38,748. Costs of $7,787,- 228 were incurred on the improvement at Chain of Rocks as follows: By contract, construction of locks, $2,994,926; construction of canal and levees, $3,878,920; power control and lighting, $512,654; and relocation of utilities, 109,945; by hired labor, model studies, $85,000; lock design, canal and levee design, power control and lighting de- sign, $85,198; preliminary engineering and surveys for construction, $79,203; relocation of utilities, legal expense, maps and drawings and RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1183 dredging for relocation of existing oil pipe line, $15,665; real estate expense, management, appraisals, condemnations, mapping and sur- veying, $25,717. The total cost of new work was $8,449,126.21, of which $432,184.15 was by hired labor. Total expenditures were $8,721,019.58. Maintenance: Dikes and revetments were repaired at a cost of $331,718. The required 9-foot channel was maintained by three United States hydraulic dredges. During the year 21 shoals devel- oped, of which 15 were dredged once, 2 were dredged twice, 2 were dredged three times, 1 was dredged four times and 1 was dredged five times, removing 3,839,255 cubic yards of sand and gravel at a cost of $365,559. The channels dredged had a combined length of 22.6 miles, an average width of 290 feet, and an average gain in depth of 4.9 feet. The total cost of maintenance dredging was $365,559. Hydrographic surveys were made covering 57.5 miles of river, costing $28,816. Aids to navigation were installed at a cost of $21,438. Other miscellaneous costs by hired labor were, snagging, $1,202; gages, $15,876; discharge observations at miscellaneous locali- ties, $1,585; cooperative stream gaging, $12,565; stream flow forecast- ing, $6,504; and engineering planning, $12,647; all charged to main- tenance. The cost of operation and care of lock No. 27 was $9,010.33. The total cost of all maintenance including operation and care was $806,920.22, and the expenditures were $697,991.00. The total costs for the fiscal year were $9,256,046.43 and the expenditures were $9,419,010.58, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under this project (includ- ing the Chain of Rocks canal), is about 74 percent complete. The quantities required to complete the project are estimated at 129,160 linear feet of dikes, 129,705 linear feet of revetment, 280,000 cubic yards of rock removal, and the canal, locks, levees, etc., at Chain of Rocks, as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945. Dikes and revetments were in poor condition along some reaches at the close of the fiscal year due to critical damage inflicted by heavy ice flows during the winter of 1950-51 and by floods in spring and summer of 1951. The channel.as a whole, has been greatly improved by the work that has been completed to date. 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 increased demands of com- merce and the use of steel-hull boats have combined to extend the navigation season throughout the year except when blocked by heavy 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, St. Louis gage, was 10.43 feet for the fiscal year 1950 and 11.51 feet for the fiscal year 1951. 1184 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

S. ARMY, 1951 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 terminal facili- ties, and for miscellaneous other harbor improvements. Pertinent data for existing and proposed locks and dams, etc., are given in table above. All dams are concrete. Three dams St. An- thony Falls, 1, and 19) are fixed, the remainder are movable. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951 is $214,554,500, which includes $21,581,900 for work upstream from the lower North- ern Pacific Railway bridge at Minneapolis (St. Anthony Falls), but is exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest approved estimate for maintenance and operating costs is $4,500,000 annually, including $3,100,000 for operating and care of locks and dams.

It is located in the south end concrete, and steel; at lock 30 there are crib dams across the north and south channels of of the Sterling Dam and about 600 feet below the guard lock of the Illinois and Mississippi Rock River. The north dam has a 60-foot opening and has been superseded by a con- Canal (feeder section). crete power dam a short distance below; the south dam adjoining lock 30 has been rein- forced with concrete laid in the water. RIVERS AND HARBORS-ROCK ISLAND, ILL., DISTRICT 1247 Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 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, canal banks, roadways, telephone lines, and fences were repaired; seep ditches and aqueducts were cleaned out; and brush and weeds were cut and burned along the canal right-of-way, all by hired labor. Minor channel clean-out at various locations in the canal was performed by hired labor. The costs during the fiscal year were $179,992.57 for operating and care. The expenditures were $187,160.39. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1918. All locks, dams, aqueducts, buildings, and other appur- tenances are in fair to poor condition. Tabulation under paragraph "Existing project" gives data regarding the principal features of construction. At the end of the fiscal year, the controlling depth in the main canal was 3.5 feet (in Rock River section near Milan), and in the feeder canal was 4 feet. These depths have restricted the use of the canal to lightly loaded barges and to pleasure craft. The bot- tom width of the canal is 52 feet and the width at water surface is 80 feet, except at aqueducts where the width is 40 feet, and at locks, 35 feet. Since April 29, 1948, in order to maintain the maximum pos- sible service with the limited funds available, the canal has been open to all types of navigation only on Thursday and Friday of each week with prior arrangements being made at least one day in ad- vance, and has been open to commercial tows on other weekdays with prior arrangements being made at least seven days in advance.of the date passage is desired. On June 20, 1951, all concerned were informed by a public notice issued by the Division Engineer that the canal structures would not be operated or maintained for purposes of navigation after June 30, 1951, in accordance with the policy of the Corps of Engineers to suspend lock operation and maintenance of waterways affording little or no benefit to general commerce and navigation, and to eliminate nonessential maintenance expenditures. A detailed study of the problems involved in effecting disposal of the lands and facilities will be made. Federal, State, and local governmental agencies and private interests will be contacted to obtain their views relative to the use of the lands and facilities for park or other beneficial pur- poses, and assumption of the responsibility for future operation and maintenance. The total costs to June 30, 1951, from regular funds was $10,337,- 514.06, of which $7,580,143.41 was for new work and $2,757,370.65 was for operating and care. The expenditures were $10,337,054.38. The costs and expenditures from Emergency Relief funds for re- moval of snags and stumps in Rock River pool were $25,000, all new work. In addition, the sum of $4,143,282.27 was expended between April 1895 and June 30, 1936, on the operating and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. 1248 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

MILL CREEK AND SOUTH SLOUGH AT MILAN, ILL. Location. Mill Creek empties into South slough about 1 mile east of the town of Milan, Ill., and 6.5 miles above the mouth of South slough, which empties into the Mississippi River. Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of Janu- ary 21, 1927. (For further details see p. 1132, Annual Report for 1932, and p. 1081, Annual Report for 1938.) Existing project. This provides for floodgates in the walls of the Illinois and Mississippi Canal, or other devices for carrying the flood waters of Mill Creek across the canal right-of-way into Rock River; for the construction of a levee on the east bank of Mill Creek extending from the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad to the canal embankment; for the construction of a levee on the west bank of Mill Creek and its extension in a westerly direction to a connec- tion with Water Street at the point E, shown on map of project document; and for the removal of obstructions in Mill Creek and South slough. The cost of new work for the completed project was RIVERS AND HARBORS-ROCK ISLAND, ILL., DISTRICT 1249 $63,634. The estimated cost of maintenance, revised in 1950, is $10,000 annually. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 19, 71st Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in the project docu- ment. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. None. Operations and results during fiscal year. The work performed during the fiscal year consisted of rebuilding culvert gates at Mill Creek spillway, by hired labor, and channel clearing of Mill Creek and South slough to relieve flood hazards at the village of Milan, Ill., by contract. The costs during the fiscal year were $22,968.28 for maintenance. The expenditures were $22,829. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1932. The project was in fair condition at the end of the fiscal year.

This project is located in the basin of The Sny, a former by-channel of the Mississippi River, in Pike, Adams, and Calhoun Counties, Ill., approximately miles 260.9 to 315.4 above the mouth of the Ohio River. The major tributaries of the Sny are McCraney, Hadley, Kiser, Six Mile, and Bay Creeks. Several minor tributaries include Fall, Pigeon, Horton, and Dutch Creeks. (The entire Sny Basin is shown on topographic maps of the U. S. Geological Survey, scale 1:62,500, dated 1921-28.) Existing project. The plan of improvement now being considered for the prevention of interior flooding within the Sny bottom lands consists of four major diversion channels (diversion of McCraney and Hadley Creeks; Kiser Creek; Horton and Dutch Creeks; and Six Mile and Bay Creeks) to conduct the run-off from the uplands drainage area directly to the Mississippi River; construction of two retarding reservoirs (one each for Fall-Austin and Pigeon Creeks); improvement of the Sny channel to collect bottom-land run-off; con- struction of five pumping stations to drain the five areas into which the district would be divided by the four major stream diversions; construction to effect internal drainage of areas from which natural drainage will be blocked by the new construction; construction of a closing levee to exclude backwater up The Sny; and the construction of remedial works necessitated by the improvement. The estimated Federal cost for construction of the project, revised in 1951, is $17,698,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946, substantially in accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers in House Document No. 713, Seventy-ninth Congress, second session. The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation. Section 3 of the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, applies. See pages 4-5 for requirements. In addition, local interests will be required to furnish necessary authority to abandon obstructive bridges, and make all necessary alterations and relocations of highway bridges, roads, subsurface drains, and public utilities affected by the improvement. Local interests were informed of the local cooperation require- ments on September 8, 1947. Assurances, executed by the commis- sioners of the Sny Island levee drainage district on February 9, 1948, have been furnished, but have not been forwarded for approval since said assurances must be accompanied by evidence that local interests have the financial ability and legal authority to fulfill the requirements of local cooperation. In order that the Sny Island levee drainage district may raise the necessary funds to meet the local-cooperation requirements, it will be necessary for them to secure court approval of the project. The drainage district must file a, petition accompanied by detailed con- struction plans and rights-of-way maps in the county court. Action by the drainage district in this matter must be deferred until com- pletion of detailed plans. It is estimated that after the drainage district has been furnished with the detailed plans and rights-of-way maps, it will then take the Sny Island levee drainage district approximately one year to spread 1252 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 the assessments, damages, and benefits; secure court approval of the project; levy the special assessments; issue the drainage bonds, and secure the necessary financial assistance required in order to furnish evidence that it has the financial ability and legal authority to carry out the local-cooperation requirements. It may reasonably be con- sidered that subsequent to that time it may take approximately two years, and possibly longer, for the drainage district to actually fulfill the requirements of local cooperation. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preliminary planning, including field surveys, design and estimates, and preparation of detailed plans, by hired labor, was continued during the fiscal year. The costs during the fiscal year were $35,723.32 for new work. The expenditures were $38,656.47. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction has not been started.

RED ROCK RESERVOIR, UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER BASIN, 'IOWA Location. The Red Rock Reservoir, on the Des Moines River, will be chiefly in Marion County, Iowa, but will extend into Jasper, Warren, and Polk Counties. The dam (Howell site) will be located approximately 142.9 miles above the mouth of the waterway which empties into the Mississippi River about 361.4 miles above the mouth of the Ohio River. The Iowa capital city of Des Moines lies north- westerly from the site on the banks of the river approximately 60 miles upstream. The entire watershed is shown on aeronautical maps of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, scale 1:500,000, dated 1937-38, Des Moines and Dubuque sections. FLOOD CONTROL-ROCK ISLAND, ILL., DISTRICT 1253 Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a dam consisting of a rolled-fill embankment and a gravity-type concrete spillway with crest gates, located near the center of the valley, each end of which will be tied into the embank- ment by a gravity-type, nonoverflow, concrete section. The dam, at crest elevation of 798 feet above mean sea level, will be approximately 6,260 feet long and of maximum height of 95 feet above the valley floor. The proposed gated spillway is to be of concrete founded on bed-rock with crest at elevation 744. The full flood-control level (top of crest gates) will be at elevation 780. The spillway crest gates, eight in number, will be 37 feet high and 40 feet wide. The outlet works, consisting of eighteen 5-foot by 8-foot gated conduits will extend through the spillway section and will discharge into the spill- way stilling basin. The nonoverflow concrete sections of the dam at each end of the spillway will be of the gravity type, firmly keyed into the foundation rock, and the right-bank section will contain one 16-foot round pen stock. Initially, the pen stock will be plugged at either end and no power installation is to be provided. The drainage area above the dam site is 12,250 square miles. With pool at full- flood-control elevation, the reservoir area will be about 68,000 acres; the reservoir will contain approximately 1,850,000 acre-feet of water at that height; 1,800,000 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 downstream flow of 300 cubic feet per second. The impoundment of flood waters by the reservoir will result in materially reduced flood heights on the Des Moines River below the dam, and will also provide substantial supplementary benefits by reducing Mississippi River floods. The latest estimate of cost of the project, revised in 1951, is $67,- 140,000, including $54,731,000 for construction and relocations, and $12,409,000 for lands and damages. The Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944, authorized to be appropriated certain monies for prosecution of the comprehensive plan approved in the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, for the Upper Mississippi River Basin, including the project for the Red Rock Dam on the Des Moines River substantially in accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers in House Document No. 651, Seventy-eighth Congress, second session. The Red Rock project was made eligible for selection as a unit of the general com- prehensive plan for flood control and other purposes in the Upper Mississippi River Basin under the aforementioned Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938. The latest published map is in House Docu- ment No. 651, Seventy-eighth Congress, second session. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preliminary planning and preparation of detailed plans, by hired labor, were continued. Detailed plans have been submitted to the Governor of Iowa for his review. By action of the Iowa Fifty-third General Assembly, the Iowa Natural Resources Council was created, and this council has been designated by the Governor as the official agency with which the =Corps of Engineers shall consult and cooperate in regard to projects affecting the State. The Iowa Natural Resources Council is engaged in studying the project for the State of Iowa. 1254 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 cost of new work for the completed project was $881,985, ex- clusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest ap- proved (1951) 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 No. 413, Sixty- fourth Congress, first session, and was ordered by Congress in the River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 For reconstruction of 4 of the 5 original dams, and surveys to determine the extent of lands over- flowed by the reservoirs.

Precipitation in the reservoir area during the last half of calendar year 1950 was about normal while precipitation in the first half of calendar year 1951 was about 1 inch above normal. Run-off from an extremely heavy snowfall was prolonged by a cold spring causing flows at or slightly above flood stage (12.0 feet) at Aitkin, Minn., for 34 consecutive days with a maximum stage of 13.2 feet occurring during the period 7 to 9 May, inclusive. It is estimated that the operation of the reservoirs resulted in a decrease in stage at Aitkin of about 2.3 feet. During the first half of the fiscal year, the outflow was regulated to decrease the total storage from 900,830 second-foot- days to 515,570 second-foot-days. By March 1, 1951, the storage was reduced to a minimum of 428,940 second-foot days. The spring run- off partially filled the reservoirs, total storage being 670,540 second- foot days by June 10, 1951, but the storage dropped to about 643,540 second-foot-days by the end of the fiscal year.

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 de- tails, see page 1890 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1105 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for open-channel improvement from the Mississippi River to Shakopee (25.6 miles) to obtain a channel with 4 feet of water from the Mississippi River to Shakopee, which will accommodate vessels of 3-foot draft. The cost for new work for the completed project was $12,731, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects.. The latest (1951) 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 con- tained in section 4 of the River and Harbor Act approved March 4, 1915, authorized acceptance of a total of $139,670.91 as local contri- bution to defray costs of dredging in excess of the authorized 4-foot project depth. Terminal facilities. At Port Cargill, mile 13.1, Cargill, Inc., owns and operates a launching ways, a dock 650 feet in length with ware- house adjacent, with additional mooring space 1,300 feet in length. Operationsand results during fiscal year. Removal of 29 snags and preliminary surveys for maintenance were carried on by hired labor at a cost of $2,062.81. Expenditures were $2,067.00. 1272 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1931. Additional channel dredging (see "Local cooperation"), completed in July 1943, provides: A channel with minimum depth of 9 feet and a width of 100 feet from the mouth to Port Cargill, mile 13.1, except that the 9-foot depth is restricted, to a width of 74 feet at the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Pauil & 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 under the existing project to June 30, 1951, were $87,911.15, being $12,730.69 for new work and $75,180.46 for main- tenance. Expenditures were $87,911.15. 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. No work is scheduled during fiscal year 1952. The additional sum of $2,500 can be profitably expended for prelimi- nary dredging surveys and snagging during the fiscal year 1953.

ST. CROIX RIVER, WIS. AND MINN. Location. The source of the river is in northwestern Wisconsin. It is about 164 miles long and for its greater part forms the boundary between Wisconsin and Minnesota. It flows southwesterly and then southerly into the Mississippi River at Prescott, Wis., 41.7 miles below the Northern Pacific Railway bridge, Minneapolis, Minn. The portion included in this improvement extends from the mouth to Taylors Falls, Minn., 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 channel, 9 feet in depth and of suitable width from the mouth to Stillwater, Minn., 24.5 miles, created by the improvement of the upper Missis- sippi River; a channel 3 feet deep at mean low water, between Still- water and Taylors Falls (27.3 miles); improvement of the harbor and water front at Stillwater; and a small-boat harbor at Hudson, Wisconsin. RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1273 The estimate of cost of new work, revised in 1951, is $234,100. The latest (1951) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance for that portion of the project between the mouth and Still- water is $10,000. The latest authorization (1951) for maintenance work on the reach between Stillwater and Taylors Falls is limited to an expenditure of not to exceed $5,000 per year.

Local interests for Hudson Harbor are required to 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 construction of the proj- ect and subsequent maintenance, when and as required; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction of the project; (c) provide and maintain without cost to the United States access roads, parking and storage areas, mooring facilities, and utilities, including a public landing with suitable supply facili- ties, open to all on equal terms; and (d) establish a competent and properly constituted public body empowered to regulate the use, growth, and free development of the harbor facilities with the under- standing that such facilities shall be open to all on equal terms. Local interests have not been formally requested to furnish assur- ances. 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 prod- ucts, inoperative at present. There is also a piling and timber trestle wharf on the right bank, of which 276 feet is dock and 96 feet ap- proach. At other points along the river, landing may be made on the banks. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance channel dredging involving removal of a total of 30,657 cubic yards of mate- rial at mile 6.3 and preliminary dredging surveys were carried out by Government plant and hired labor. Costs and expenditures for the year were $5,003 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. All new work was completed in 1930 except the recently authorized harbor at Hudson. The extension to provide a 9-foot channel from the mouth to Stillwater was com- pleted on August 12, 1938, when full pool at dam No. 3 of the Mis- sissippi River canalization project was reached. The minimum draft from Stillwater to Taylors Falls is about 1 foot at extreme low 1274 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 water; from mouth to Stillwater, 9 feet.

The Flood Control Act of 1950 authorized completion of the plan. The latest published map is in the project document (H. Doc. 185, 81st Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation. The improvements, with the exception of the proposed Orwell Reservoir on the Otter Tail River, are subject to the conditions that local interests will (a) provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil dis- posal areas necessary for the construction and subsequent mainte- nance of the project, when and as required; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and subse- quent maintenance of those works; (c) maintain the channels after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secre- tary of the Army; and (d) make at their own expense all necessary changes to utilities, highways, and bridges including approaches. No local cooperation is required in connection with the proposed reservoir on the Otter Tail River. Immediately following authorization of the basin project, local interests from the entire basin signified their desire that construction of Orwell Reservoir be given first priority. At a subsequent meeting of the Tri-State Waters Commission with representatives from the three states involved, and local interests, a priority was established for the local flood-protection units authorized in the basin project. Actual priority will depend largely upon ability of local interests to fulfill local cooperation requirements. Local interests have not been formally advised in writing of the requirements of local cooperation. Those in the Wild Rice and Marsh, Mustinka, Sand Hill, and Otter Tail areas have furnished assurances. These were approved Decem- ber 30, 1949, June 16, 1950, January 9, 1950, and October 27, 1950, respectively. Lands required for construction on the Wild Rice and Marsh Rivers have been furnished and those on the Mustinka River and tributaries and Otter Tail River are being acquired. A local agency has been formed in the Rush River area. It is expected that this agency will furnish assurances in the near future. After infor- mal outline of requirements of local cooperation to local interests in FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1279 the Sheyenne River area, a meeting was held by them on January 27, 1949, at which objections were raised which served to delay the organization of a sponsoring agency. Operations and results during fiscal year. Advance planning was carried on for Orwell Reservoir, and for Otter Tail, Wild Rice and Marsh, Sheyenne, Sand Hill, Rush, and Mustinka River features of the project as well as surveys for detailed planning on the main stem at Grand Forks-East Grand Forks, Fargo-Moorhead, and Wahpeton- Breckenridge. Land acquisition for Orwell Dam and Reservoir is about 21 percent complete. Lands for dam site have been obtained and work on acquisition of reservoir lands is in progress. About 318 acres of land have been acquired by hired labor. Channel improvements on the Wild Rice River were started and are 37 percent complete. About 530,500 cubic yards of material was excavated in the lower 3.5 'miles of the project. Operations on a con- tract for construction of Orwell Dam were started and are 5.5 per- cent complete, work on preparation of foundations and construction of cut-off channel having been accomplished. Bids for construction of channel improvements on the Mustinka River and tributaries were rejected due to lack of fulfillment of local cooperation.

RED LAKE RIVER, MINN. INCLUDING CLEARWATER RIVER, MINN. Location. The works covered by this project lie along the upper reach of the Red Lake River and also along the Clearwater River, a tributary of the Red Lake River, between a point near Plummer, Minn., and a point just above the mouth of Ruffy Brook. Red Lake River, the principal tributary of the Red River of the North, has its source at the outlet of Lower Red Lake in the northwestern 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.) 1282 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 EXisting project. The following features are included in the plan of improvement: Rectification and enlargement of 27.5 miles of the channel of the Red Lake River so as to provide sufficient channel capacity throughout the reach between river mile 154.3 near High Landing, Minn., and a point 4.5 miles east of the west boundary of the Indian Reservation, and the reach from the outlet of Lower Red Lake to a point 3.2 miles westerly thereof; modification of the exist- ing stop-log structure, which was constructed at the outlet of Lower Red Lake by the Indian Service, so as to provide for the installation of three hand-operated lift gates, and one stop-log bay; raising 6.9 miles of highway at west end of Lower Red Lake to prevent over- topping; 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 chan- nels in Red Lake and Clearwater Rivers to carry the discharge from drainage ditches. Modification of the existing control works at the outlet of Lower Red Lake will provide for a discharge capacity of 1,000 cubic feet per second through the structure when the lake is at normal elevation (1174.0) 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 estimated cost to the United States for new work, revised in 1951, is $2,755,000. The approved estimated annual cost to the United States for maintenance is $8,500 for operation and care of the control structure. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (H. Doc. 345, 78th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Local cooperation. The improvement is subject to the conditions that responsible local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of 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 replace- ment of all bridges improved by the United States; maintain the improved river channels; control the contamination by rural areas and villages without sewer systems of Red Lake, Clearwater, and Thief Rivers; require that municipalities which discharge sewage into Red Lake, Clearwater, or Thief River treat their sewage before discharge into the streams so as to effect a reduction in the biochemi- cal 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, Clear- water, or Thief Rivers downstream from Lower Red Lake, Clear- water Lake, or Mud Lake unless authorized by the Department of the Army. FLOOD CONTROL--ST, PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1283 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 assur- ances except those on pollution which were furnished by the Minne- sota Water Pollution Control Commission. All of these assurances were accepted October 3, 1947. A contribution of $33,220 was re- ceived from local interests in July 1948. All rights-of-way and easements outside the Indian Reservation have been acquired by the Red Lake Drainage and Conservancy District as local agency, and permit to the Government for construc- tion has been granted. On October 22, 1947, the Red Lake Indian Council adopted a reso- lution authorizing the Office of Indian Affairs, Interior Department, to carry out necessary transfer of authority to the Department of the Army. Following completion of a report by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the Indian Council passed another resolu- tion on October 28, 1948, which indicated the Council's desire for preservation of marsh areas within the reservation. However, upon further study, the council on April 17, 1949, revised their resolution of October 28, 1948, in favor of a modified plan within the reserva- tion. On December 2, 1949, the Acting Secretary of the Interior au- thorized construction work along the Red Lake River right-of-way within the reservation, subject to certain conditions and subject to formal application for necessary easements and rights-of-way. For- mal application was forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior on February 10, 1950. Notice of action has not been received. As it was construed by the acting Secretary of the Interior that existing reso- lutions did not cover the Clearwater River, a new resolution dated February 19, 1950 was secured from the Tribal Council specifically including work along the Clearwater River. Operations and results during fiscal year. Design was continued by hired labor. Contracts for channel improvements on the Red Lake River were in progress as follows: Stages 2 and 3, about 7 and 5.3 miles of improvement, respectively, were completed; stage 4, im- provement for 3.2 miles immediately below the outlet structure, was completed except for levelling of spoil banks. Contract operations for modification of outlet structure and raising grade of road at lower end of Red Lake were initiated and are 2 percent complete. Contracts for channel improvements on the Clearwater River were in progress as follows: Stage 1, 10 miles of improvement at the lower end of the feature was completed; stage 2, 12 miles of improvement upstream from stage 1, was increased to 55 percent complete; stage 3, 15.5 miles of improvement at the upper end of the Clearwater River feature was initiated and is 4 percent complete. In addition, acon- tract providing for modification of four bridges on the Clearwater River was initiated and brought to 4.4 percent completion. Operation of the Red Lake Dam was taken over by this office from the Department of Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, on April 1, 1951. The elevation of the lake on that date was 1,174.45 M.S.L., 1912 Adj., with a storage of 1,940,500 acre-feet. The spring run-off was easily 1284 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 stored with the lake reaching a maximum elevation of 1,175.50 and a resulting storage of 2,245,000 acre-feet on 8 to 13 May 1951. By the end of the fiscal year the lake was down to elevation 1,174.75 with a storage of 2,027,500 acre-feet or 0.75 foot above the normal pool level of 1,174.00. Discharges varied between 1,120 and 1,800 second-feet, averaging about 1,200 second-feet in April, 1,500 second- feet in May, and 1,520 second-feet in June. The increased capacity of the channel downstream which was dredged prior to taking over the operation of the dam permitted discharge of these magnitudes and allowed farming of lands bordering the river which could not be farmed in previous wet years. The increased channel capacity also afforded faster lowering of the lake than was formerly possible. Costs for the year for new work were $546,192.20 United States funds as follows: Design, engineering, etc., $29,552.69; channel im- provements, $514,633.12; other construction, $2,006.39. Cost by hired labor, $29,552.69; by contract, $516,639.51. Costs for the year for operation and care were $792.45. Total costs for the fiscal year were $546,984.65. Expenditures were $595,744.90. Condition at end of fiscal year. Detailed plans and flowage surveys are completed ; plans and specifications are substantially completed. Construction was initiated in February 1948 on the Red Lake River and in October 1948 on the Clearwater River. All excavation has been completed on the Red Lake River with about 3 miles of spoil remaining to be leveled and about 19 miles of excavation has been completed on the Clearwater River. About 4,386,600 cubic yards of material has been removed under the seven contracts completed or in force for this work. Modifications to the Red Lake outlet struc- ture and four Clearwater River bridges are in progress. Work on raising the road at the vicinity of the Red. Lake outlet structure is also in progress. Completed portions of the channel are in good con- dition and have indicated the effectiveness of the project. Project as a whole is 66 percent complete. Work remaining to complete this project besides completion of contracts in progress includes remedial work on one Red Lake River bridge, alteration of existing gages, and monumenting the Indian boundary. The total cost of new work for the project to June 30, 1951, was $1,789,685.97 of which $1,756,465.97 were Federal funds and $33,- 220.00 were contributed funds. Cost of operation and care was $792.45. Total costs were $1,790,478.42. Expenditures were $1,758,- 386.33 Federal funds and $33,220.00 contributed funds. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended June 30, 1951 amounting to $999,833.90 plus accounts receivable, $11,231.49, and an allotment of $1,900.00 for fiscal year 1952, a total of $1,012,965.39 will be applied to complete the project and for maintenance as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1951____ ______________-________-_ $50,083.45 New work: Complete advance planning (hired labor, July 1951-June 1952) __ __________________ $8,450.00 Complete stage 4, Red Lake River channel im- provements (contract, July-October 1951) -_. 16,712.00 FLOOD CONTROL---ST.

HOMME RESERVOIR AND DAM, NORTH DAKOTA 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 east- erly direction to an almost common confluence near Grafton, N. Dak., 1286 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 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 diam- eter concrete conduit under the dam, with control gates located 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 protec- tion is afforded by the reservoir of 7,100 acre-feet capacity which is created by the dam, and the reservoir storage capacity of 3,650 acre- feet below spillway crest (1080.0) is used to provide 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 has been provided at the request of local interests. The latest approved estimated cost to the United States for new work, revised in 1951, is $1,231,612. 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 Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (S.Doc. 194, 78th 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 conditions that local interests make a cash contribution of $40,000 toward the construction cost, and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project; make necessary changes in roads, bridges, and utili- ties; maintain the channel below the reservoir; hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; limit future construction of dams below the reservoir; and prevent the discharge of raw sewage into the river by municipalities. An additional cash contribution has been made for additional work that has been requested by local interests. Provisions of local cooperation have been fully complied with as indicated in final report to Chief of Engineers dated January 16, 1950. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preparation of master plan for reservoir management and public use facilities was substan- tially completed. Preparation of plans and specifications for the project were completed except for design of public use facilities. Stage 2, construction of spillway, embankment closure and appur- tenant work and a contract for construction of beaches in the pool area were completed. Repairs to embankment and stilling basin FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1287 caused by floods in the spring of 1950 were made. Dam was placed in operation in the spring of 1951. After the break-through of the partially completed embankment in the spring of 1950, the pool was emptied to elevation 1,035.5 by June 10, 1950 and remained empty until August 4, 1950 when closure was again made. The pool then rose gradually to elevation 1,049.3 on November 10 and remained at approximately this elevation until March 17, 1951 with an outflow of 2 to 3 second-feet. The reservoir was filled during the 1951 spring breakup to elevation 1,080.6 on April 26. The peak inflow into the reservoir was 600 second-feet which is less than damaging flow downstream. After the peak, the reservoir level dropped slowly to spillway crest elevation 1,080.0 on June 1, and was maintained at about this elevation to the end of the fiscal year with an outflow of about 5 second-feet in accordance with prescribed operation. Costs for the year for new work were $248,174.59, as follows: design, engineering, etc., $1,793.00; construction, $246,381.59. Cost by hired labor, $1,793.00; by contract, $246,381.59. Costs for main- tenance during the year were $2,303.08. Total costs for the year were $250,477.67. Expenditures were $335,567.10. Condition at end of fiscal year. Designs and construction of the project are completed except work pertaining to reservoir manage- ment and public use facilities and protection of eroded banks adja- cent to the dam. Construction was initiated in April 1948 and major structures were completed in May 1951. Master plan for public use facilities is substantially complete. Project as a whole is 93 percent complete. Structures are in good condition except for additional riprap required on the dike. The total cost of new work for the project to June 30, 1951 was $1,215,555.74 of which $1,159,335.74 were Federal funds and $56,- 220.00 were contributed funds. Cost of operating and care was $2,303.08. -Total cost for all work was $1,217,858.82. Expenditures were $1,160,459.25 Federal funds and $56,220.00 contributed funds. Proposed operations.

LAKE ASHTABULA AND BALDHILL DAM, SHEYENNE RIVER, NORTH DAKOTA 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 loca- tion see U. S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of an earth fill dam, having a height of about 61 feet above the stream bed and a total length of 1,650 feet, with a concrete spill- way-control section consisting of a concrete gravity ogee section with over-all length, including.piers, of 140 feet. The crest is at elevation 1252 and is surmounted by three standard design Tainter gates each 40 feet long and top elevation at 1267. A gate-controlled 3-foot diameter conduit has been provided in each of the two piers. The dam creates a reservoir of 70,700 acre-feet capacity and controls 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 substan- tial water supply and pollution abatement for the section of the Sheyenne River below the dam and the section of the Red River of the North below the mouth of the Sheyenne River. In order that a part of the regulated flow may be available for water supply and pollution abatement in the Red River of the North at Fargo, N. Dak., the plan also provides for the construction of a low diversion dam FLOOD CONTROL--ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1289 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 to the United States for new work, revised in 1951, is $2,653,200. 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 (H. Doc. 193, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. The reservoir above Baldhill Dam has been designated as Lake Ashtabula by Pub- lic Law No. 772, Eighty-first Congress, Second session, approved September 8, 1950. Local cooperation. The improvement is subject to the condition that no funds shall be expended on construction of the project until local interests have contributed $208,000 toward the first cost of the reservoir and until responsible local agencies have given assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will (a) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; (b) bear the expense of all necessary alterations of utilities, roads, highways, and bridges; (c) construct, operate, and maintain the Fargo diversion dam and diversion ditch improvements in ac- cordance with plans and regulations to be approved by the Secretary of War; (d) maintain the channels below the reservoir in satisfac- tory condition for the flow of water released from storage, to include the prevention of encroachments on the carrying capacity of the channel which would unduly interfere with the conveyance of flood- water; and (e) establish and enforce suitable regulations to prevent pollution of the waters of Sheyenne River. Provisions of local cooperation have been complied with except for construction of the Fargo diversion'dam and ditch, assurances for which, furnished by the city of Fargo, were approved by the Secretary of War on June 26, 1947. Plans for this feature are being prepared. Operations and results during fiscal year. Designs, preparation of a master plan for reservoir management and public use facilities, and land acquisition were carried by hired labor. About 900 acres of land in fee and easements on 370 acres were obtained during the year. A contract for stage 2 clearing was completed on November 28, 1950, completing that work. A contract for construction of dwelling is 12 percent complete. Purchase of a sheet metal service building was made by contract. An additional contract for construction and supply of gantry crane has been awarded. A siphon to furnish water to a fish and wildlife pond below the dam was installed with funds furnished by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Reservoir clearing and reconstruction of road crossing precluded normal operation of the project this fiscal year. After emergency operation of the reservoir during the record breaking high water of the spring of 1950, the pool had been drawn down, reaching spillway crest elevation 1,252.0 by July 1, 1950 and 1,245.1 by mid-August. As clearing progressed, the pool was allowed to rise to about 1,247.0 by November 1950 and was maintained substantially at this elevation 1290 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 until spring breakup in 1951. The spring runoff was not excessive. The peak inflow into the reservoir of 1,150 second-feet was consider- ably below damaging flow downstream. Total storage during the spring breakup raised the pool only to 1,257.8 with a peak storage of 38,000 acre-feet. After breakup the pool was again drawn down to about elevation 1,252.0 M.S.L. (1929 Adj.) by May 25, 1951 and maintained at ap- proximately this elevation to the end of the fiscal year. Costs for new work for the year were $162,740.53, as follows: De- signs, $21,684.15; land acquisition, $73,408.81; pool clearing, $53,- 206.64; dam construction, $5,066.63; dwelling utilities and miscella- neous, $4,835.45; work for other agency (reimbursable), $4,538.85. Costs by hired labor, $97,891.34; by contract, $64,849.19. Costs for the year for maintenance were $35,563.35. Total costs for the year were $198,303.88. Expenditures were $206,071.23. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preliminary planning including designs is substantially complete. Land acquisition and preparation of master plan for public use facilities are in progress. About 7,816 acres of land in fee and easements on 464 acres have been acquired. Easements on about 203 acres of land remain to be acquired. Con- struction was initiated in July 1947 and was completed in November 1950 except for dwelling and other appurtenant work. The dam was operated on an emergency basis in April and May 1950, and was placed in permanent operation in July 1950. Structures are in good condition. Work remaining to complete the project includes installation of utilities at dwelling, construction of access road and erection of service building, construction of a low-water control structure below the dam and construction of public use facilities. Total costs to June 30, 1951 were $2,634,621.10, being $2,598,719.92 of which $2,386,181.07 were Federal project funds, $208,000 were contributed funds and $4,538.85 were project funds to be reimbursed by another agency; and $35,901.18 for operating and care. Total expenditures were $2,420,092.25 Federal funds including those reim- bursable and $208,000 contributed funds. Proposed operations.

LAKE TRAVERSE AND BOIS DE SIOUX RIVERS, S. DAK. AND MINN. Location. The works covered by this project lie along Lake Tra- verse and Bois de Sioux River between the upper end of Lake Traverse at Browns Valley, Minn., and the mouth of Bois de Sioux River at Breckenridge, Minn. The lake drains through the river to the Red River of the North, and the two waters form a portion of 1292 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 the boundary between the State of Minnesota and the States of North and South Dakota. For general location see United States Geological Survey map of Minnesota. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for use of Lake Traverse as a flood-control and water-conservation reservoir and for channel improvement in the river below the lake. It includes construction of a dam near White Rock, S. Dak., at the north end of Lake Traverse, a structure at the Reservation Highway crossing for control of the upper section of the Reservoir, levees, and embank- ments necessary near Browns Valley, Minn., and channel improve- ment of approximately 24 miles of the Bois de Sioux River from the outlet of Lake Traverse northward toward Breckenridge, Minn. The dam near White Rock, S. Dak., consists of a 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 em- bankment with a total length of approximately 14,550 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., constitutes the flood-control feature of the project. The structure at Reservation Highway crossing consists of a stone-paved dike spillway with superimposed stop log spans with total length of approximately 113 feet between steel-sheet pile abut- ment walls behind which compacted fill with soil-cement slab pave- ment connects with the existing highway, and is operated to maintain the water level in the upper section of the lake. The project with reservoir capacity for flood control of 137,000 acre-feet, affords pro- tection to about 42,000 acres of agricultural land from floods up to those which may be expected to occur once in 30 years and should restore Lake Traverse to its former natural condition as a habitat for an abundance of wildlife and fish. The cost of the completed project was $1,332,200. The latest (1951) 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 required. Operations and results during fiscal year. The project was oper- ated in accordance with the established plan. While the reservoir was being drawn down after the 1950 spring run-off, heavy rains during the period July 7-13, 1950, caused a secondary rise with a peak storage of 169,600 acre-feet occurring on July 16. Moderate discharges averaging 800 to 900 second-feet were maintained during the period July 16-August 16 with a resulting draw-down to 122,000 acre-feet. The discharge was then reduced and held to an average of about 10 second-feet. Evaporation losses combined with sub-nor- mal rainfall reduced the pools to conservation levels by mid-October and the loss continued until March 1, 1951 when the low point was reached at approximately 107,500 acre-feet, or 5,000 acre-feet below conservation levels. The high spring run-off in 1951 was all stored, resulting in a peak storage of 185,500 acre-feet. FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1293 After danger of flooding from snow run-off was over, discharges averaging about 1,000 second-feet were released from White Rock Dam during the period April 25 through May 30, 1951. By the end of the fiscal year only approximately 7,000 acre-feet remained in storage above conservation levels. Costs for the year were $10,552.04 for operating and care by hired labor, being $9,068.76 for operations, $1,060.53 for miscellaneous re- pairs and improvements, and $422.75 for land management. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in June 1948. Fee title to 1,315.48 acres .and easements on 5,952.35 acres of land have been acquired. The White Rock Dam and Reser- vation control structure were in operation and the structures and channels were in good condition. The roadways across structures were open to public travel. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1951 were $1,431,091.39 being $1,332,200.00 for new work and $98,891.39 for operating and care. The expenditures were $1,430,154.52. Proposed operations.

The area under consideration lies mainly in Aitkin County in northeastern Minnesota, approximately 80 miles west of Lake Superior and about 100 miles north of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The Mississippi River in this area flows in a general south- westerly direction through Aitkin County. Aitkin, Minn., is on the Mississippi River 1,055.9 miles above the mouth of the Ohio River (for general location see U. S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota). Existing project. The following features are included in the plan of improvement: a diversion channel on a general east-west align- ment between miles 1,064.0 and 1,040.4 on the Mississippi River, being a channel slightly less than 6 miles in length with bottom width of 88 feet and 1 on 21/2 side slopes; a short channel permit- ting the Little Willow River to enter the main diversion channel about a mile above the natural junction, this channel being about 1,500 feet in length with bottom width of 12.5 feet and 1 on 11/2 side slopes; erosion control structures at the mouth of the Little Willow diversion and five other points where drainage from the north would enter the main diversion channel; and appurtenant work. The improvements will alleviate the flood condition and im- prove drainage in and near Aitkin, Minn. The estimate of cost to the United States for new work, revised in 1951, is $1,873,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 30, 1948 (H. Doc. 599, 80th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest pub- lished map is in the project document. Local cooperation. The improvement is subject to the conditions that responsible local interests 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 of the project; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; (c) bear the expense of all necessary construction or alterations of utilities, roads, highways and bridges; (d) maintain all works after comple- tion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; and (e) prevent future encroachments in the flood plain of the Mississippi River within the limits of the project. The responsibility for local cooperation has been assumed by the Aitkin County Flood Control Association. Local interests have not been formally requested to furnish assurances, but informal contacts have indicated their willingness and ability to do so. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preparation of detailed plans was continued by hired labor. Costs for the year were $12,- 183.56. Expenditures were $12,064.68. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preparation of detailed plans is 48 percent complete. No construction has been initiated. Total costs to June 30, 1951 were $13,028.89 for new work. Expenditures were $12,426.01. Proposed operations.

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 sponsored by the State of Minnesota, prior to its authorization as a Federal proj- ect 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, substan- tially completed by the Work Projects Administration for use of Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes as flood control and water conserva- tion reservoirs, and for channel improvement of the Minnesota River below the lakes. The project includes a main dam at the outlet of Lac qui Parle Lake, a structure between Marsh Lake and Lac qui Parle Lake, for control of the Marsh Lake Reservoir, a dam and diversion channel near Watson, Minn., for diverting flood waters of the Chippewa River into the Lac qui Parle Reservoir, necessary alterations to highways, railroads, and bridges in the vicinity, and improvement of the channel of the Minnesota River at various loca- tions between Lac qui Parle Lake and Granite Falls. The Lac qui Parle Dam, which carries a highway across the Minnesota River, consists of a control structure of 12 bridge spans incorporating sluice gates and fixed spillway weirs, a 2,500-foot emergency spillway, and 1296 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 sections of highway embankment connecting with high ground on either side of the valley. The Marsh Lake Dam consists of a 112-foot concrete spillway, and two sections of dredged earth fill totaling approximately 9,700 feet in length, including an auxiliary 90-foot grouted riprap overflow spillway. The Chippewa River flood diver- sion dam consists of a concrete fixed crest structure supporting a highway bridge, and a section of earth fill through which is provided a conduit for discharge of low water flow. The diversion channel for passing floodwaters of the Chippewa River into the Lac qui Parle Reservoir is 3,500 feet in length cut through a natural ridge sepa- rating the river and an arm of the lake and includes a six-span con- crete submerged weir, also supporting a bridge, which allows a re- verse 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 adjacent railroad tracks from being flooded. Completion of the project includes improvements to Lac qui Parle Dam and spillway, improvements'to Marsh Lake Dam, access roads, and dike, Great Northern bridge alterations, and con- struction of a Tainter gate at the Chippewa Dam, and stage-recorder houses. Improvement of the Minnesota River between Lac qui Parle Lake and Granite Falls consists of rock removal, snag removal, and cut-offs at various locations to provide for increasing the bank-full capacity of the channel. The project, with reservoir capacity of about 96,700 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 conser- vation purposes provided below normal elevations of conservation pools will result in improved lake levels for recreation and game conservation in addition to providing for increased low water flow downstream for agricultural interests and for sewage disposal at Granite Falls. The estimate of cost to the United States for completion of the project, revised in 1951, is $540,465 for construction and $411,385 for lands and damages, a total of $951,850. The estimated (1951) annual cost of maintenance is $12,000. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Agieement for transfer of the project from the State of Minnesota to the United States was consummated on September 7, 1950. Initial payment was made to the State, and the Government assumed possession of project lands and operation of the reservoir the following day. Title evidence for lands involved is being reviewed leading to further payments for lands. A contract for construction of a tainter gate in Chippewa Dam and for new bulkheads on Lac qui Parle Dam was completed. Contracts were awarded for excavation and snagging on the Minne- sota River below Lac qui Parle Dam and for Marsh Lake Dam rip- rap and access road. No work has been done on, the former, and work on the latter contract is 13 percent complete. The dams were operated as required, and necessary repairs and improvements were made thereto. The Lac qui Parle pool elevation was at 931.6 M. S. L. (1929 Adj.) at the time operations were assumed by the St. Paul district. The Minnesota Conservation Department had adopted 931.2 as conser- FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1297 vation level after numerous meetings and discussions with represen- tatives of the vicinity, including conservation and flood control in- terests. The pool elevation at Lac qui Parle Dam was maintained at substantially this elevation until March 1, 1951, after which it was lowered to elevation 929.5 in anticipation of the spring runoff. A peak stage of 939.9 and a peak storage of 138,000 acre-feet oc- curred in Lac qui Parle on April 11, 1951, as a result of the spring runoff. The estimated peak inflow was 17,040 second-feet and the peak outflow, 11,100 second-feet which resulted in an estimated stage reduction of 0.5 foot at Montevideo. The pool level was drawn down to conservation level, 931.2, on May 17, 1951, and maintained at about this elevation through the end of the fiscal year. Costs for the year for new work were $116,932.93 as follows: de- signs, $13,326.15; land acquisition, $49,458.29; dam construction, $54,148.49. Cost of maintenance was $16,595. Total costs for the year were $133,527.93. Expenditures were $129,370.42. Condition at end of fiscal year. Transfer of the project from the State of Minnesota to the United States was consummated on 7 Sep- tember 1950. The existing project as a whole was 52 percent com- plete. Easements on 32.8 acres of land have been obtained and 516.3 acres of land in fee and easements on 14,642.6 acres of land are in process of acquisition. Construction was started in September 1941 and the following work was completed in 1942: Lac qui Parle Dam improvements; Minnesota River channel improvements; Lac qui Parle Dam spillway surfacing; Marsh Lake Dam improvements; Great Northern Railway bridge alteration and grade raising; and stage recorder houses. Work completed in February 1951 included alterations to the Chippewa and Lac qui Parle Dams. Completion of work in progress and acquisition of remaining lands will complete the project. Until September 8, 1950, the dams were operated by the State of Minnesota. They have been operated by the Government since that time. All structures are in good condition. Total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1951, were $516,- 416.82 of which $493,371.06 was for new work and $23,045.76 was for maintenance. Expenditures were $509,020.22.

The Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri River, which flows south- easterly 2,464.41 miles across or along seven States to the Mississippi River, 17 miles above St. Louis. For description, see page 1149, An- nual Report for 1932. Practically the entire length of the section from Kansas City to the mouth is contained within the State of Missouri. Previous projects. The first appropriation for improvement by regulation was made in the River and Harbor Act of June 18, 1878. The original plan for comprehensive improvement was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882, modified by River and Harbor Acts of July 5, 1884, September 19, 1890, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1891 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1153 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel of 9-foot depth and width not less than 300 feet, to be obtained by revetment of banks, construction of permeable dikes to contract and stabilize the water- way, cut-offs to eliminate long bends, closing of minor channels, re- moval of snags, and dredging as required. Length of section under improvement (mouth to upper end of Quindaro Bend) is 386.2 miles'. Ordinary and extreme fluctuations of stage are 16 and 38 feet, re- spectively. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1951, is $115,713,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The estimated cost for annual maintenance is $2,000,000.

The project provides that cooperation from benefited localities may be required, in case a comprehensive plan is adopted by Congress, for an apportionment of expense, where any improvement confers special benefit; and receipt of contributions from private parties, to be expended with Government funds upon authorized works where such would be in the interest of navigation, 1 Measured along 1941 adjusted mileage. RIVERS AND EARBORS--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1309 is authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1915. The Secretary of the Army has approved the general principle of coopera- tive construction on the Missouri River below Kansas City on the basis that 25 percent of the cost of any special installation shall be paid by the United States and 75 percent by the local interests. The total amount contributed by local interests in cooperation with the United States from 1918 to June 30, 1951, was $675,662.80, of which $8,647.11 was returned to contributors. Work done by private interests for the benefit of the public during the fiscal year 1951 was as follows Blue Mills Bend. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Co. placed 5,020 linear feet of creosote piling, 117 linear feet of 131# rail and accomplished 1,500 cubic yards of Prepakt solidifying.

ARMY, 1951 Operations and results during fiscal year--new work. This work consisted of the construction, by contract, of 42 dikes and 2 dike extensions, totaling 3,866 linear feet, eleven lengths of revetment totaling 21,248 linear feet, at a total cost of $996,885.29, and construc- tion, by hired labor, of the following: Construction of 15 dikes and 4 dike extensions totaling 8,834 linear feet, 3 lengths of revetment totaling 11,940 linear feet, at a total cost of $471,359.57; removal of 2,711 linear feet of existing structures and one point removal at a total cost of $61,263.23; payment in settlement of condemnation pro- ceedings for the acquisition of land for rights-of-way for channel changes, and the accomplishment of engineering, design, and surveys at a total cost of $84,431.53. The total cost of new work was $1,613,939.62. Maintenance. This work consisted of the repair, by contract, of 4,518 linear feet of dikes, and 575 linear feet of revetment, at a total cost of $181,284.12; and the accomplishment, by hired labor, of the following: Removal of 4,885,140 cubic yards of material from 30 localities by the U. S. dredges Mitchell.and Black, at a total cost of $442,545.53; the repair of 18,042 linear feet of dikes and 37,449 linear feet of revetment at a total "cost of $831,841.02; paving of 28,481 linear feet of accretion at a total cost of $271,014.12; construction of 3 chute closure structures at a total cost of $32,638.58; removal of 56 snags at a total cost of $716.70; engineering, design, and surveys, including channel surveys, in connection with maintenance work, at a total cost of $116,609.57; stream gaging for special studies and working data at a cost of $17,403.25; marking channel for navigation at a cost of $147,240.69; and maintenance of the Liberty Bend Cutoff highway bridge at a cost of $215.85. The total cost of all mainte- nance work was $2,041,509.43. The total costs for the fiscal year were as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular funds_ _.___ _$1, 613, 939.62 $2, 041, 509.43 $3, 655, 449.05 The total expenditures were $3,695,428.58. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was about 77 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year, based on the present approved estimate of cost. The physical extent of work accomplished was 1,779,466 linear feet of dikes, 1,238,212 linear feet of revetment, 29,499 linear feet of abatis, 27,493 linear feet of bank protection, 35,842 linear feet of retards, 27,111 linear feet of levees, five revet- ment spillways, excavation of 7,537,789 cubic yards of material in the construction of pilot canals, removal of 112,739 linear feet of existing structures, dredge fills totaling 1,546,493 cubic yards, re- moval of 432,664 cubic yards of rock, removal of 81,382,936 cubic yards of material by dredging, and removal of 5,439,461 cubic yards of material in the improvement of bank alinement. The majority of river control structures in several localities in this section of the river are either completely destroyed or in a very poor state of repair due to the curtailment of work during the war, the very frequent and s'vere floods during and since the war, and the scarcity of funds RIVERS AND HARBORS--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1311 since the war to prosecute the necessary repair work at a most effi- cient rate. The flood of July 1951 was particularly destructive. How- ever, the river control structures successfully prevented the river from changing its course although practically every levee along the river failed due to the flood. Although additional dikes and revetment are required to attain the project dimensions, a channel with a minimum depth of 61/2 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, 1951, was generally in excess of 9 feet due to the high river stage at which time there was an average discharge at Kansas City, Mo., of approximately 270,000 cubic feet per second. The practical draft at ordinary stages of the river is 61/2 feet. This section of the river has been used for commercial navigation since June 1935. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1951, was as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular funds___ _____ ______ __ ___ _____ ____ $80, 599, 321.47 $39, 362, 545.86 $119, 961, 867.33 Emergency Relief funds_ ._________.. . _____ ___. - ____ 1, 375, 243.49 133, 756.51 1, 509, 000.00 Public Works funds__________________ ____________ 6, 468, 49038 ------ .----- 6, 468, 490.38 88, 443, 055.34 39, 302.37 127, 939, 357.71 496, The total expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1951, were $127,990,827.59 ($120,013,337.21 regular funds, $6,468,490.38 Public Works funds, and $1,509,000 Emergency Relief funds).

On the Lake of the Ozarks formed by Bagnell Dam, there are several marine ways and drydocks operated by pri- vate 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. These facilities adequately fulfill existing needs. RIVERS AND HARBORS-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1315 On the Osage River below Bagnell Dam there are several small boat docks and facilities for transferring sand and gravel maintained by private interests which adequately fulfill existing needs. Operations and results during fiscal year. Work consisted of the operation and care of the lock and dam as required for the passage of small craft and passenger boats at a total cost of $4,894.13 and a total expenditure of $4,759.93. There were 23 lockages for 23 small craft. Condition at end of fiscal year. Considerable drift and silt has ac- cumulated in the downstream 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 needs replacement. Except for the construction of two wing dams, one in 1925 and one in 1926, the open-channel work was completed sufficiently in 1919 to provide reasonable accommodations for the commerce actu- ally 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, decreas- ing 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. It is considered that the improvements constructed under this project are unworthy of further maintenance due to the limited amount of traffic using the lock and the fact this traffic consists almost entirely of pleasure craft. Therefore, operation and mainte- nance of the lock and dam is being discontinued at the end of this fiscal year. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1951, was $1,314,- 286.79 from regular funds, of which $658,075.71 was for new work, $543,847.22 was for maintenance, and $112,363.86 was for operation and care of the lock and dam. The total expenditures were $1,314,- 286.79 from regular funds. In addition, the sum of $190,561.10 was expended between July 1, 1912, and June 30, 1935 on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appro- priation for such purposes. Proposed operations. The unexpended balance of $5,816.52 will be applied during the fiscal year 1952 to the payment of accounts payable of $55.38 and dismantling operations preliminary to suspen- sion of lock and dam operation and maintenance. 1316 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 No additional funds are proposed for appropriation for mainte- nance of this project for the reasons stated above.

KANSAS CITYS ON MISSOURI AND KANSAS RIVERS, MO. AND KANS. Location. Kansas Citys on Missouri and Kansas Rivers in Mis- souri 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 contemplates protection works, consisting principally of levees and flood walls, for 13 separate project units which are designated as follows: Argen- tine; Armourdale; Central Industrial; Fairfax-Jersey Creek; North Kansas City; East Bottoms; channel improvement, Kansas River; bridge and approach alterations, Kansas River; channel improve- ment, Missouri River; floodway improvement, Missouri River; Bir- mingham; Blue Valley Industrial; and Liberty Bend cut-off. The existing project was authorized by the following flood-control acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 22, 1936 Levees and flood walls for the protection of the Kan- H. Doc. 195, 73d Cong., 2d sess. sas Citys at an estimated construction cost not to exceed $10,000,000, estimated cost of lands and damages, $8,000,000. Dec. 22, 1944 Modified and extended the project to provide con- H. Doc. 342, 78th Cong., 1st sess. struction of cutoffs and protection for additional areas at an estimated additional cost of $8,445,000. July 24, 1946 Authorized the Chief of Engineers to include neces- sary railroad bridge and approach alterations as a Federal responsibility. The estimated cost, revised in 1951, is $45,030,000 of which $41,- 805,000 is the Federal cost and $3,225,000 is for lands and damages to be borne by local interests. FLOOD CONTROL-KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1325 This project will be operated as part of the comprehensive plan for the Missouri River Basin and it is contemplated that, with reser- voir control, substantially complete flood protection will be provided for the Kansas Citys. The units involve construction approximately as follows: Argentine unit: The original levees and flood walls were of suffi- cient height to protect the district from the design flood but due to inadequate design and materials used in constructing the levees it was originally planned to strengthen the levees, install necessary facilities for control of underseepage, and construct a pumping plant. Since the inadequacies of the original construction can be corrected through proper design and selection of materials in the emergency restoration, the levee work formerly contemplated under this unit will no longer be required. Armourdale unit: The earth levee along the left bank of the Kansas River from mile 6.7 to mile 2.91 is of sufficient heights to provide protection from the design flood. The project provides for raising the existing levee from mile 2.9 to 2.81; constructing -a new levee riverward of the existing flood wall from mile 2.8 to 1.71; replace existing flood:wall with a new flood wall from mile 1.7 to 1.01; con- struct a new levee from mile 1.0 to 0.71; and construction of new flood wall including the replacement of a short section of existing wall from mile 0.7 to 0.31. The downstream end of the new wall will 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 378.82 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 struc- tures and construction of new concrete flood walls and earth levees to protect the portion of this unit located in the State of Kansas. Fairfax-Jersey Creek unit: About 30,900 feet of earth levee, 1,981 feet of concrete flood walls, and 32,100 feet of bank-protection works, extending along the right bank of the Missouri River from a point immediately above the Kansas City, Kans., water and light plant (mile 385.3)2 downstream to the mouth of the Kansas River, thence along the left bank of the Kansas River to the vicinity of the inter- city viaduct (mile 0.3);1 pumping plants; and appurtenant works. Subsequent to the construction of the above work, the elevation of the design flood has been raised due to a decrease in the width of the floodway, necessitating the raising of the Fairfax-Jersey Creek flood- protection works. North Kansas City unit: Beginning at a point northwest of the Kansas City, Mo., municipal waterworks, the existing and proposed 2 1 Above mouth of Kansas River. Above mouth of Missouri River. 1326 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 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 dis- tance of about 0.8 mile; thence northwesterly along a drainage ditch to high ground northeast of the Kansas City, Mo., municipal water- works, a distance of about 1.6 miles. The plan of improvement con- sists 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 downstream along the right bank of the Missouri River to the mouth of the Big Blue River, thence southwesterly along the left bank of Big Blue River to high ground. The proposed improvements will consist of levees and a flood wall and appurtenances. The plan also contem- plates necessary rectification of the Big Blue River channel near the mouth of this stream. Channel improvement, Kansas River unit:, Bank-stabilization works along the right bank of the Kansas River from the Seventh Street bridge to the Kansas City Terminal Railway bridge mile 3.50 to mile 2.49) ; excavation of a foreshore bar along the right bank of the Kansas River, extending from the Kansas City Southern 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 contem- plated that all bridges across the Kansas River between mile 5.13 and the mouth which do not now provide adequate floodway will be raised above the design flood profile. This would involve the perma- nent raising of four highway and three railroad bridges, and provi- sion 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, excava- tion of the abandoned overbank area between the North Kansas City levee and the present channel to approximately low-water elevation is contemplated. Replacement of the left-bank approach fills to the Armour-Swift-Burlington and Hannibal Bridges by approach spans is provided in the plans and is necessitated by the widening of the Kansas City reach by setting back the North Kansas City levee and dredging the abandoned overbank area. Floodway improvement, Missouri River unit: The work contem- 1Above mouth of Kansas River. 2 Above mouth of Missouri River. FLOOD CONTROL---KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1327 plated under this unit consists of removing brush and timber from the area riverward of the existing Birmingham drainage district levee along the left bank of the Missouri River between mile 370 and mile 363 and of removing brush from the area riverward of the pro- posed East Bottoms levee along the right bank between mile 373.5 and mile 367.8.2 Birmingham unit: In order to provide protection to the Birming- ham district, various upstream sections of the Birmingham levee, between mile 371.7 and mile 365.52 will be raised by the addition of rolled fill and downstream sections will be strengthened. Blue Valley Industrial unit: The work contemplated under this unit consists of the construction of levees and flood walls at approxi- mately present Big Blue River mile 5.4 to provide flood protection for a section of the Big Blue River Valley. Liberty Bend cut-off: This unit consists of the construction of a main cutoff channel beginning at mile 363.7 and extending down- stream to mile 358.5 ;2 a second cutoff channel from mile 358.5 to mile 357; 2 and a new highway bridge where the main cut-off channel intersects United States Highway No. 71 (bypass) which at present crosses the Missouri River north of the proposed cut-off at mile 361.2 Local cooperation.

TOPEKA, KANSAS RIVER, KANS. Location. This project is located on the right and left banks of the Kansas'River at Topeka, Kans. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the rais- ing and extending of existing levees and the construction of new levees and flood walls, consisting of the following features: 7,200 feet of earth levee, 2,016 feet of concrete flood wall, and 6,350 feet of bank-protection works, along the right bank of the Kansas River, extending from the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad bridge over Ward Creek to high ground upstream from the Atchison, To- peka & Santa Fe Railroad bridge; 1,662 feet of flood wall and 943 feet of levee around the municipal waterworks; about 5,120 feet of bank-protection works along the left bank of the Kansas River; 1344 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 23,175 feet of levee and 700 feet of flood walls around North Topeka; and numerous appurtenant features. The project when completed will provide protection to North Topeka, South Topeka (between Ward Creek and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad shops) and the municipal waterworks, against a flood equivalent to that of 1903. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936 (H. Doc. No. 195, 73d Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost of construction of the modified plan, revised in 1951, is $2,649,000 and the estimated cost of lands and damages is $151,000, to be borne by local interests. Recommended modification of project. Under date of February 28, 1949, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the existing project be modified and expanded to provide protection to additional areas in and around North Topeka, Kansas. The modified plan of improve- ment contemplates relocation of the channels of Soldier and Half Day Creeks to improve drainage conditions, raising of existing levees, and construction of new levees along the Kansas River and Soldier and Half Day Creeks to protect approximately 6,000 acres of land in the flood plain, and construction of pumping plants. H. R. 4997, 82d Congress, 2d session, proposes authorization of these im- provements together with other improvements in the Kansas River Basin recommended in House Document No. 642, 81st Congress, 2d session. Local cooperation. See pages 4-5 for requirements. The conditions of local cooperation have been fully complied with except for the North Topeka unit. The city of Topeka has furnished certified copies of a court order dismissing the litigation that resulted in the curtailment of construc- tion of the North Topeka unit of the project in February 1940 after a suit was brought against the city of Topeka and others to enjoin construction of the North Topeka flood-protection works. Acquisition proceedings with respect to rights-of-way for the North Topeka unit were essentially completed by local interests prior to curtailment of the project. Local interests have indicated an intense interest in early construction of the project. The city of Topeka has contributed to the United States a net sum of $7,659.31 to defray the cost of incidental features of construction at the city waterworks, desired by the city but not required for adequate flood protection. Operations and results during fiscal year. None. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was approxi- mately 28 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The work accomplished consists of the removal of objectionable material and placing of 174,569 cubic yards of earth fill in an earth levee; con- struction of 2,016 linear feet of concrete flood wall, 6,421.4 linear feet of bank paving, 2,600 linear feet of waterworks protection, three protection enclosures at the waterworks, one floodgate, nine sewer- outlet extensions, and appurtenant features; and seeding of levees. During July 1951, disastrous floods, which occurred throughout the Kansas River Basin, inundated both the North and South Topeka units of the project except for the waterworks area where levees were held and flooding of the area prevented through heroic flood FLOOD CONTROL---KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1345 fighting activities of local interests under the direction of the Corps of Engineers. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of the construction of the North Topeka unit. Commence- ment of this work was postponed indefinitely in February 1940 after a suit was brought against the city of Topeka and others to enjoin construction of the North Topeka flood-protection works. The city of Topeka has furnished evidence that the litigation has been settled and has requested that construction of the modified plan (H. Doc. 642, 81st Cong., 2d sess.) be initiated at an early date. The total cost and expenditures of the existing project (all new work) at the end of the fiscal year were $738,169.82 ($472,169.82 from regular funds and $266,000 from Emergency Relief funds) ex- clusive of $7,659.31 contributed funds. Proposed operations. An allotment of $70,000 for the fiscal year 1952 will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1952, to the completion of detailed project plans and preparation of contract plans and specifications for the North Topeka unit of the project.

The Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri River, which flows south- easterly 2,464.41 miles across or along seven States to the Mississippi River, 17 miles above St. Louis. The river is the boundary between the States of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. For description, see page 1149, Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects. Under the River and Harbor Act of August 14, 1876, the first regulation works were constructed at St. Joseph and Nebraska City, but a project for systematic river improvement was not adopted until August 2, 1882, modified by the River and Harbor Acts of July 5, 1884, September 19, 1890, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1893, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1175, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel of 9-foot depth and width not less than 300 feet, to be obtained by revetment of banks, construction of permeable dikes to contract and stabilize the water- way, cut-offs to eliminate long bends, closing of minor channels, re- moval of snags and dredging as required. Length of section under improvement (upper end of Quindaro Bend to Sioux City) is 376.3 miles. The ordinary fluctuation is about 14 feet and the extreme fluctuation about 38 feet. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1951, is $179,068,000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The estimated cost of annual maintenance is $2,500,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: 1The mileage for the Missouri River between the mouth and Three Forks, Mont., is measured along the 1932 channel line from the mouth to Rulo, Nebr.; along the 1939 pro- posed improved channel line from Rulo to Sioux City, Iowa; along the 1930 channel line from Sioux City to Fort Benton, Mont.; and along the 1890 channel line from Fort Benton to Three Forks. 1 Acts Work authorized Documents Jan. 21, 1927 Appropriation of $12,000,000 authorized for the H.

Operations and results during fiscal year. New work : This work consisted of construction, by contract, of 20 pile dikes and 7 pile dike extensions totaling 12,288 linear feet, 5 lengths of revetment totaling 6,838 linear feet, and strengthening and replacing 19,816 linear feet of pile dikes and revetment, at a total cost of $1,727,355.49; construc- tion, by hired labor, of 32 pile dikes totaling 8,291 linear feet, and 9 lengths of revetment totaling 8,244 linear feet, strengthening and replacing 6,064 linear feet of pile dikes and revetment, removal of 5,796 linear feet of existing structures, and 472 feet of chute closure at a total cost of $676,590.15; and engineering, design, and surveys, at a cost of $80,390.06. The total cost of new work, all prosecuted with regular funds, was $2,484,335.70. In addition to completed works, there is in progress of construc- tion, by contract and hired labor, 9 dikes to total about 6,450 linear feet, and 5 pieces of revetment to total about 7,850 linear feet. Maintenance: This work consisted of construction, by contract, of repair and replacement of 8,921 linear feet of pile dikes, and 13,337 linear feet of revetment, at a total cost of $872,627.17; the accom- plishment, by hired labor, of repair or replacement of 28,433 linear feet of pile dikes, and 59,085 linear feet of revetment; construction of 1 chute closure totaling 1,396 linear feet, and stabilization of 8,265 linear feet of accreted bank line on the permanent alinement by the placement of accretion paving at a total cost of $2,052,708.22; 1362 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 removal of 200 cubic yards of rock from the channel by dragline at 1 locality at a cost of $787.09; and the removal of 1,651,720 cubic yards of material from 8 localities by the U. S. Dredge Mitchell, at a cost of $76,641.10. The cost of engineering, design, and surveys in connection with hired labor maintenance work was $74,235.55. Re- moval of 4 snags at a cost of $51.44. Other miscellaneous costs, all charged to maintenance, were: Stream gaging for special studies and working data at a cost.of $15,223.63; navigation aids at a cost of $19,366.23. The total cost of all maintenance prosecuted with regular funds was $3,111,640.43. The total cost for the fiscal year was $5,595,976.13, of which $2,484,- 335.70 was for new work, and $3,111,640.43 for maintenance. The expenditures were $5,457,094.33, of which $2,505,226.13 was for new work, and $2,951,868.20 was for maintenance, 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 56 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 approxi- mately 65 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The majority of river control structures in several localities in this section of the river are either completely destroyed or in a very poor state of repair due to the curtailment of work during World War II, the very frequent and severe floods during and since the war, and the scarcity of funds since the war to prosecute the necessary repair work at a most efficient rate. 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, 1951, 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 120,000 cubic feet per second. The practical draft at ordinary stages of the river is 6 feet. Commercial navigation was inaugurated on this section of the river in May 1939. During World War II such navigation declined until October 1946 when common carrier trans- portation service was inaugurated. The work remaining to be done to complete this section of the project consists principally of the construction of additional dikes and revetment. Rulo to Omaha, Nebr: The work between Rulo, Nebr., and Omaha, Nebr., was approximately 65 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The majority of river control structures in several localities in this section of the river are either completely destroyed or in a very poor state of repair due to the curtailment of work during World War II, the very frequent and severe floods during and since World War II, the severe attack by ice and the scarcity of funds since World War II to prosecute the necessary repair work at a most efficient rate. A navigable channel 6 feet in depth and 200 feet in width, with a reasonable additional width around bends, is main- RIVERS AND HARBORS-OMAHA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1363 tained during the navigation season. Commercial navigation has ex- isted in this section since May 1939. During World War II commer- cial navigation declined until October 1946 when common carrier transportation was inaugurated. Omaha, Nebr., to Sioux City, Iowa: The work between Omaha, Nebr., and Sioux City, Iowa, was approximately 43 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. Loss of alinement and progressive destruction of control works is in progress in various parts of this section of the river, due to natural deterioration of the structures coupled with curtailment of work during World War II, inadequate funds for new work and maintenance since World War II, and sev- eral 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 to 31/2 feet from Sioux City to Omaha, Nebr., during ordinary navigable discharges, and 51/2 feet during high water periods. Under the existing project for systematic work on the 9-foot channel, the work accomplished includes 1,097,056 linear feet of revetment for permanently fixing the banks, 2,193,373 linear feet of pile dikes, 10,142 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 aux- iliary channels, construction of 48,237 linear feet of asphalt revet- ment, effecting three channel cut-offs and removal of 83,429,215 cubic yards of material dredged from the channel to obtain project depth and width. The total cost and expenditures on work under the existing project to June 30, 1951, is: Cost Funds Expenditures New work Maintenance Total Regular funds_ --------- -_ _-_ $62,101,706.24 $24,131, 314.86 $86, 233, 021.10 $86,179, 228.90 Public Works funds_ -- ____--------- 29, 038, 236.29 114, 180.14 29, 152, 416.43 29, 152, 416.43 Emergency Relief funds __ _------ 9, 613, 073.19 56, 644.65 9, 669, 717.84 9, 669, 717.84 Total funds-----------------_ 100, 753, 015.72 24, 302,139.65 125, 055, 155.37 125, 001, 363.17 Proposed operations.

DISASTER OPERATION "SNOWBOUND" During the winter months of January, February, and March 1949, unprecedented snow storms and cold waves in the Western States caused so much distress in this area that the President of the United States authorized various agencies of the Government to spend avail- able funds to meet the emergency. Without the immediate partici- pation by the various agencies, there would have been tremendous loss of life and also tremendous loss of livestock, both cattle and sheep. Fortunately, these agencies were able to move in with bull- dozers and other equipment to open the roads and by means of air- planes of' both the Army and Navy to fly in supplies, thereby holding to a minimum the loss of lives and livestock. Funds in the amount of $7,046,000' have been allotted to the Omaha district to defray expenses incurred under Operation "Snow- bound". The cost to the Federal Government of Operation "Snowbound" 1Of this amount $1,900,000 was appropriated to the Denver District and the total amount expended. 1398 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS ON THE OHIO RIVER Location. The Ohio River is formed by the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers at Pittsburgh, Pa., and flows in a general southwesterly direction for a distance of 981 miles to 1437 1438 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMVY, 1951 join the Mississippi River near Cairo, Ill. For description of the river see page 1227, Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects. The first lock and dam on the Ohio River was provided for by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1879. The con- struction of dams was provided for by river and harbor acts, as follows: Dam 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 entire river by the construction of locks and dams to provide a channel depth of 9 feet and for the widening of the Louisville and Portland Canal at Louisville, Ky. The project provides for a lock with usable dimensions of 110 by 600 feet at each dam and in addition an aux- iliary 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 (existing project) revised in 1951, exclusive of Gallipolis locks and dam reported under the Kanawha River project, is $328,524,065. The foregoing estimate does not in- clude expenditures on previous projects. The estimate of annual cost of operations and care of locks and dams, revised in 1951, is $7,063,000. 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- H. Doec. 492, 60th Cong., 1st sess. ing of the Louisville and Portland Canal to 170 feet, and a new lock at the lower end. The act also granted discretionary authority to the Secretary of War to make such modifications in the project as appeared advisable. July 18, 1918 Elimination of locks and dams in the lower river H. Doc. 1695, 64th Cong., 2d sess. where the project depth of 9 feet could be satis- factorily maintained by open channel work. Secre- tary of War authorized to substitute fixed dams for movable dams wherever, in his opinion, they may be advisable. Under the authority granted in the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910, the Louisville and Portland Canal has been widened to 200 feet; locks and dams 40 and 42 have been eliminated; locks OHIO RIVER 1439 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 dams 24, 25, and 26 were replaced by Gallipolis locks and dam which was authorized by the act of August 30, 1935, and constructed under the project for improving 16wer Kanawha River.

The navigation system of 46 locks and dams is in operation and 9-foot navigation throughout the en- tire length of the river is generally available at all times. At certain unstable bars the project depth is maintained by dredging, supple- mented by contraction works. (See project "Open Channel Work, Ohio River," p. 1445). Table A under "Existing project" shows cost and year of completion of locks and dams now in operation. The following originally contemplated work remains to be completed: Construction of an access road to Dashields Locks; raising crest of dam 14; construction of bear traps at dam 21 and construction of additional bear traps at dams 18, 22, 23, 27, 30, 39, and 43. In addition to completion of the above work, the following betterments are proposed to certain existing structures in order to provide ade- quate facilities for present day navigation: Construction of guard wall and guide wall extensions at locks and dams 35, 41, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50, 51, and 52. Also part of the works of the existing project do not provide adequate facilities for present-day navigation due to obsolescence of the structures. Since repair and modernization of these facilities would be extremely costly, replacement and recon- struction is contemplated as follows: Construction of locks and dam in the vicinity of Strattonville, Ohio (New Cumberland locks and dam), to replace locks and dams 7, 8, and 9; construction of locks and dam in the vicinity of Greenup, Ky., to replace locks and dams 27, 28, 29, and 30; construction of locks and dam in the vicinity of Fernbank, Ohio, to replace locks and dams 34, 35, 36, and 37 and the reconstruction of locks and dam 41.

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 1437. 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 Com- mission. Existing project. Prior to the completion of the canalization project, no project depth had been fixed by Congress under the project for open-channel work, but in order to properly aid packet 1446 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMVY, 1951 and barge navigation it was found necessary to secure a low-water channel having a minimum depth of from 4 to 6 feet, and a width, depending upon the difficulty of running the channel, of from 400 to 600 feet; also to permit the movement of large coal tows, which movement occurred at stages of water exceeding 10 feet, it was found necessary to remove the points of projecting bars which formed at various locations along the river. The accomplishment of this purpose involved the concentration of current by closing back channels at islands with low dams, the contraction and straight- ening of wide, open channels by low dikes, the dredging of bars and shoals, and the removal of snags and wrecks. Since the completion of the canalization project, the work under the project for open-channel work provides mainly for widening, deepening, and maintenance of the channel in the pools of the dams, and in the operf 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 Pittsburgh, Pa., to 80 feet at Cincinnati, Ohio, with 57.2 feet at Louisville, Ky. (head of falls), 53.8 feet at Evansville, Ind., and 59.5 feet at Cairo, Ill. (mouth of river). The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1951, is $21,918,700, which is exclusive of the additional ice piers authorized by the river and harbor act of January 21, 1927, and the reforestation of sloughs on Kentucky Peninsula near Evansville, Ind., authorized by the river and harbor act of July 3, 1930. The estimate of annual cost of maintenance, revised in 1951, is $1,390,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1827 The project adopted by this act originally covered the entire length of the Ohio River from its mouth near Cairo to Pittsburgh, a distance of 981 miles. It provided for the removal of all obstructions which tend to endanger steamboat navigation. Jan. 21, 1927 Construction of ice piers, as a part of the project, H.

Local cooperation. The River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927, authorizing the construction of ice piers for general open- channel work, imposes the condition that before work is begun on any ice pier, local interests convey to the United States free of cost such riparian rights as may be deemed necessary in connection with the improvement at the locality (H. Doc. 187, 67th Cong., 2d sess.). Existing ice piers are adequate for present purposes and local co- operation is not needed since no additional construction is under consideration. The River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930, authorizing the reforestation of the sloughs on Kentucky Peninsula near Evans- ville, 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 revet- ment in 1933-34, reforestation is not considered justifiable at this time and no local cooperation is required. Terminal facilities. See page 1442. 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 hydro- graphic surveys was performed as required.

This river is formed by the junction of Poor and Clover Forks in Harlan County, Ky., about 692.8 miles above its mouth, and flows west to Burnside, Ky., from whence it makes a loop south- westward into Tennessee, passes Nashville, and returns northwest- ward to Kentucky, emptying into the Ohio near Smithland, Ky. (See 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 1451 1452 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 of September 19, 1890, adopted a special project for the improve- ment 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. Prior to adoption of the 9-foot navigable channel defined in succeeding paragraphs, the proj- ect for this section of the river provided for the construction 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 ex- treme 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 surmount- ing of dams A to F with movable crests was also provided. Dredging in the lower river was made unnecessary by the construc- tion of lock and dam 52, Ohio River, which created a pool of more than 6-foot depth from Lock F to the mouth. The cost of new work for completion of the 6-foot navigation project was $4,706,883.27, excluding amounts expended on previous projects. The principal features of the locks and dams included in the project are given in the following table: Lock A Lock B Lock C Nearest railroad station .......

RIVERS AND HARBORS--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1453 The extreme fluctuation in the stage of the river varies from about 23 to 60 feet at different localities. Fluctuations below extreme high water are so variable that it is impracticable to fix the stage commonly referred to on other streams as ordinary high water. The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946 (Public Law 525, 79th Cong., 2d sess.), authorized the further improvement of the Cumberland River between the mouth and Nashville for 9-foot navigation; the increased project depth to be obtained by construc- tion of 3 mo'derate height dams with lockage facilities, designated as Kuttawa (Eureka), Dover, and Cheatham, to replace the exist- ing locks A to F, inclusive, below Nashville, and lock 1, above Nash- ville. (See H. Doc. 761, 79th Cong., 2d sess.) The cost, revised in 1951, of canalization with locks 110 feet wide and 800 feet long is estimated as $46,920,000.

The River and Harbor Acts of August 5, 1886, March 2, 1907, March 2, 1919, and June 5, 1920, provided for the construction of locks and dams 1 to 17 and 21 to secure 6-foot navi- gation 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 navigation from Waitsboro Shoals to Burnside (3 miles); provision also being made for the periodic removal of snags and 1454 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 similar obstructions from Nashville (lock and dam 1) to Burnside (327.6 miles). The project as modified by the 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.). Under the above authority, locks and dams 1 to 8, inclusive, and 21 were completed and placed in operation during the period 1888- 1924. The raising of dam 1 by installation of crest wickets was com- pleted in October 1931. Proposed locks and dams 16 and 17 were eliminated from the project upon authorization of Wolf Creek Res- ervoir (p. 1475), the construction of which has also resulted in the permanent inundation of lock and dam 21. The estimated cost for new work, last revised in 1947, is $14,600,000; including $25,000 for raising dam 1, and excluding the costs of pro- jected locks and dams 16 and 17 eliminated by Wolf Creek Reservoir. The principal features of the existing locks and dams 1 to 8, in- clusive, are given in the following tabulation; for comparable details on lock and dam 21 (abandoned) and the other structures contem- plated under the project, see Annual Report for 1950: Lock 1 Lock 2 Lock 3 Lock 4 Nearest railroad sta- Nashville, Tenn., Madison, Tenn., Hendersonville, Gallatin, Tenn., tion. 2% miles. 11 miles.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1455 The extreme fluctuation in the stage of the river varies from about 20 to 40 feet at different localities. Fluctuations below extreme high water are so variable that it is impracticable to fix the stage commonly referred to on other streams as ordinary high water. The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946 (Public Law 525, 79th Cong., 2d sess.) also authorized, in addition to the further improvement for navigation between the mouth and Nashville, the construction of Old Hickory, Carthage, and Celina Dams above Nash- ville for navigation and power. The cost, revised in 1951 (including a lock at Old Hickory), is estimated as $124,450,000. Prosecution of the modified project for this section of the river will eliminate existing locks and dams 2 to 8, inclusive, and precludes further consideration of the previously projected locks and dams 9-15, in- clusive.

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 termi- nals 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 commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. (a) Below Nashville: Planning and construction under the existing project as modified for 9-foot navigation were continued. Construction operations consisted principally of foundation exca- vation and concrete placement under the continuing contract for con- struction of Cheatham lock. Approximate quantities of the major items of work accomplished were: Common excavation, 340,000 cubic yards; dumped riprap, 152 cubic yards; reinforcing steel placed, 170,000 pounds; concrete placed, 23,500 cubic yards; and crushed stone roadway surfacing placed, 5,233 tons. Work was also prose- cuted under four supply contracts for the lock operating equipment to be furnished by the Government. RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1457 Hired labor operations included acquisition of lands for the con- struction area (34 acres in fee simple and 74 acres in easement), partial preparation of contract plans and specifications for the dam, and the continuation of preliminary engineering and design studies on other phases of the project. The costs for new work were $1,773,032.52. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of navigation inspection, removing 395 cubic yards of mud and 618 snags from the channel, dredging 745 cubic yards of rock and mud at the upper approach to lock F (mile 43.7), dredging 150 cubic yards of stone and 600 cubic yards of earth (bank slide) at the upper approach to lock D (mile 88.1), and dredging 91,207 cubic yards of sand and gravel at the following sites: 37,102 cubic yards at Big Horse Ford (mile 36.5); 8,454 cubic yards at Lower Kuttawa Bar (mile 40.4); 13,780 cubic yards at Shelley Island (mile 54.0); 27,455 cubic yards at Race Track Bar (mile 63.5); and 4,416 cubic yards at Whites Creek Bar (mile 182.4). The cost of maintenance was $74,932.86. (b) Above Nashville: New work under the modified project for this section of the river, initiated during the fiscal year, consisted of preliminary work on Old Hickory Reservoir. Hired labor opera- tions included detailed project planning; reservoir area surveys and investigations with respect to relocations, clearing, and land require- ments; land acquisition studies; preparation of construction plans and specifications for the lock and dam structures; and preliminary engineering and design studies on other phases of the project. Partial design of the power plant and design of the turbines were contracted near the end of the year, and plans and specifications for design and manufacture of the generators were issued. The costs for new work were $214,906.86. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of navigation inspection, removing 43 snags from the channel, and dredging 7,733 cubic yards of sand, gravel, and silt at Nashville Harbor (mile 191.0). The cost of maintenance was $9,870.29. (c) Operating and care of locks and dams: Locks A-F and 1-8, inclusive, were operated as required and the structures and appurte- nances maintained in serviceable condition. (Lock and dam 21, stripped of fittings, machinery, and lock gates, has been inundated by the impoundment of Wolf Creek Reservoir). The following items were repaired: An emptying valve at lock E, and a filling valve at locks 2 and 4; lower mooring cable tower at lock D; bank riprap at locks 3 and 6; and soil erosion damage at lock 6. The final work for conversion to power, mechanization of valves, at locks C, D, E, and F was completed. A new telephone line was constructed into the reservation at lock E, and a new well drilled for domestic water supply at lock 2. Access roads to locks 2 and 3 were graded and stabilized with additional rock. Other operations included dredging of lock pits at locks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and D; condition sound- ings immediately below dams D, E, and 6; grading the river bank at upper approach to lock D; and installation of the following items: Water treatment plant in the domestic water system at lock E; new timbers in the upper guard wall at lock 2; wall hooks and steel 1458 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 ladder below the lower gates at locks 2, 3, 4, and 5; and new roofs on the dwellings at lock 6. The cost of operating and care was $524,079.42. The total costs during the fiscal year were $2,596,821.95, of which $1,987,939.38 was for new work, $84,803.15 for maintenance, and $524,079.42 for operating and care. The expenditures were $2,302,- 416.71. 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 commencement of construction under the project. The dates on which the individual locks and dams were completed and placed in operation are given in the tables under paragraph "Existing project." New work under the authorized modification of the existing project for 9-foot navigation, as a whole, was approximately 5 percent com- plete. Preliminary work was about 43 percent complete. Construction under the modified project was commenced in April 1950 when operations were initiated under a continuing contract for construction of the Cheatham lock; the contract being approximately 33 percent complete at the close of the fiscal year. Work under four contracts for lock operating equipment to be furnished by the Government was about 70 percent complete. Detailed inventory appraisals and investigations, in connection with the acquisition of lands required for the lock and dam site, access roads, and construc- tion areas, have been completed on 12 of the 14 tracts involved. Acquisition was complete on 124 acres in fee simple and 144 acres in easement. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1951, were $7,973,401.44, including $685,000 from Public Works funds. Of this amount, $7,408,017.32 was for new work, and $565,384.12 for maintenance. (b) Above Nashville: Prior to modification of the existing project for this section of the river in 1946, locks and dams 1 to 8, inclusive, and 21 had been completed; the initiation of work on lock and dam 1 in September 1888 marking the commencement of construction under the project. The dates on which the completed structures 1 to 8 were placed in operation are given in the table under paragraph "Existing project." Lock and dam 21, completed in October 1911, has since been inundated by Wolf Creek Reservoir (described on p. 1475), which also elimitiated projected locks and dams 16 and 17. Operation of lock 21 was discontinued on May 4, 1947; custodial services only being maintained until May 31, 1949, at which time the structure was abandoned. 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. In the shallowest part of the uncanalized reach between the head of pool, lock and dam 8, and Wolf Creek dam at mile 460.9 above the mouth, the depth at extreme low water 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1459 navigation is usually possible from February 1 to May 1, but no period can be fixed during which it is reasonably certain. Naviga- tion 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 expenditures for maintenance have kept the channel above Nashville fairly free from snags and surface obstructions. Construction under the modified project, which will replace exist- ing locks and dams 2 to 8, inclusive, and precludes further considera- tion of the previously authorized locks and dams 9 to 15, inclusive, has not been commenced. Preliminary work on Old Hickory Res- ervoir, the initial project unit scheduled for prosecution, has been brought to 18 percent completion. Detailed project plans at the end of the fiscal year were approximately 85 percent complete, construc- tion plans and specifications for the lock and dam structures were tentatively complete and under review by higher authority, and pre- liminary engineering and design studies on other phases of the proj- ect were in progress. Work under the service contract awarded near the end of the year for partial design of the power plant had been initiated. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1951, were $4,315,600.90, of which $3,975,505.98 was for new work and $340,094.92 for mainte- nance. (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 good 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 $5,996,- 346.42. The total costs under the existing project for the entire stream were $18,285,348.76, of which $11,383,523.30, including $685,000 from Pub- lic Works funds, was for new work, $905,479.04 for maintenance, and $5,996,346.42 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $17,886,263.47. In addition, the sum of $3,266,705.82 was expended between July 1, 1905, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended and accounts re- ceivable on June 30, 1951, $1,919,220.01, plus appropriations of $5,- 250,000 for new work and $751,500 for maintenance for the fiscal year 1952, totalling $7,920,720.01 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1951 ----------------------------- $405,655.77 New work: Cheatham lock and dam: Preliminary work: Reservoir area survey (July 1-Sept. 1, 1951) ---- _----__ $6,300.00 Real Estate planning report (July 1, 1951-Jan. 1, 1952) ----------------- 2,400.00 Design of dam (July 1, 1951-Feb. 1, _---_---------58,700.00 1952) ---------- 1460 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

TENNESSEE RIVER, TENN., ALA., AND KY. Location. The Tennessee River is formed by the junction of the French Broad and the Holston Rivers in eastern Tennessee, 4.4 miles above the Gay Street Bridge at Knoxville, flows southwest into north- ern Alabama, thence in a generally westerly course across north Alabama, to the northeast boundary of Mississippi, thence nearly due north across Tennessee and Kentucky, entering the Ohio River at Paducah, 652.1 miles from the junction of the French Broad and Holston Rivers. (See U. S. Geological Survey base map of the Tennessee River Basin.) Previous projects. (a) Above Chattanooga.

For further details see pages 1902 to 1906 Annual Report for 1915, pages 1190-1194, 1196-1216, and 1220-1222, Annual Report for 1929, and page 1216, Annual Report for 1938. The costs and expenditures for permanent work were $15,123,218.73. Existing project. The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (Public No. 520, 71st Cong., 2d sess.), authorized the permanent im- provement of the river for a navigable depth of 9 feet at low water from the mouth to Knoxville, Tenn., a distance of about 650 miles, to be obtained by the construction of low dams; provided, that under the provisions of the Federal Water Power Act a high dam with locks may be substituted for any two or more of the low dams and 1464 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 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 sub- stituted structures an amount equal to the estimated cost of the work of navigation for which substitution is made. (See H. Doc. 328, 71st Cong., 2d sess.) The estimated cost of the authorized project as contained in House Document 328, Seventy-first Congress, second session, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $74,709,000 for new work and $40,000 annually for the maintenance and operation of each lock and dam. The latest published maps are in the project document. The above-mentioned act also authorized the appropriation of $5,000,000 for the prosecution of work on this project. The only 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 con- structed under this authorization. The total estimated cost of new work completed and proposed for construction by the Corps of Engineers is $2,436,235, made in 1947. The estimated annual cost of operating and care of the 10 locks, and dam 1 (including the locks constructed by the Tennessee Valley Au- thority and operated by the Corps of Engineers) is $765,000, made in 1949. The estimate of annual cost of channel maintenance, made in 1949, is $35,000. Under the provisions of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933, approved May 18, 1933 (Public Law 17, 73d Cong.), as amended by an act approved August 31, 1935, the Tennessee Valley Authority is given power to construct such dams in the Tennessee River as will provide a 9-foot channel and maintain a water supply for same from Knoxville to its mouth. The Tennessee Valley Authority program provides for obtaining the authorized 9-foot project by the construction of high dams and locks and utilization of certain locks and dams previously constructed under the jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers. The following table contains information concerning various fea- tures of the locks and dams now comprising the existing 9-foot project: ' I Location Lock Dam L o Lc D Dimensions Minimum depth on guard sills Per- Estimated or Miles Distance from nearest Milabove Length Lift Character Year cent- opened Kind actual cost Name of project 1 Type of con- above town Width avail- of founda- age of to navi- of struction of each lock of able tion com- dam and dam pletion gation z mouth cham- for Nor- Maxi- ber full mal mum Lower Upper width -Fe eet Feet I I I I I I I Feet Feet Feet Feet Feet Feet Kentucky------------ 22.4 0.5 mile above Gil- 110 600 56.0 73.3 12.7 11.0 Limestone 100 1942 Fixed Concrete and (2) bertsville, Ky. earth fill.

ARMY, 1951 The functions of the Corps of Engineers since adoption of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act in 1933 have been those of coopera- tion with the Authority through preparing (with Corps of Engineers forces and funds) the designs of locks at Pickwick, Guntersville, Chickamauga, Watts Bar, and Fort Loudoun Dams; and, in accord- ance with the general navigation laws placing control and supervision over navigable waters in the Secretary of the Army, the Corps of Engineers: Operates and maintains all locks, lifts, or other facilities in aid of navigation maintains navigation channels and safety har- bors by performing all necessary dredging and snagging operations; examines and passes upon plans for all bridges, wharves, or other structures in navigable waters prior to construction, including con- struction plans involving the alteration or modification of existing channels; establishes harbor lines where essential to the preservation and protection of harbors; provides for removal of unlawful struc- tures, including wrecks cooperates and reviews plans of individuals, corporations-municipal or private-in the improvement of navigable waters at their own expense and risk; issues rules and regulations governing the opening and operation of drawbridges, the transporta- tion and dumping of dredgings or other material into navigable waters; promulgates rules and regulations governing the use, admin- istration, and navigation of navigable waters, including harbors thereof; compiles statistics of water-borne 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 con- nections, owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority, have been con- structed at Decatur and Guntersville, Ala., and Chattanooga and Knoxville, Tenn. River terminals with railroad connections, munici- pally owned, have been constructed at Sheffield, Ala., and Chatta- nooga, Tenn. The other public terminals are mostly unimproved 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. Rail- road inclines and sidings are available at Sheffield, Decatur, Hobbs Island, Guntersville and Bridgeport, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn. Privately owned terminals have been constructed for the transfer of certain commodities as follows: Automobiles and miscellaneous merchandise at Guntersville, Ala.; coal at South Pittsburg and Chat- tanooga, Tenn.; grain at Decatur and Guntersville, Ala., and Chatta- nooga, Tenn.; petroleum products at Sheffield, Decatur and Gunters- ville, Ala., and Perryville, Chattanooga, and Knoxville, Tenn. In addition to the foregoing there are many unimproved private land- RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1467 ings along the river. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year. No new work was accom- plished. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of removing 67 snags from safety harbors and channels in lock 1 canal and in the Wheeler and Guntersville pools; dredging 90 cubic yards of loose rock at the lower approach to Wheeler lock (mile 274.5), and 41,831 cubic yards of boulders, sand, and gravel at the lower approach to Hales Bar lock (mile 430.7) ; condition surveys; and inspection of navigation channel. The cost of maintenance was $61,285.75. Operating and care of locks and dams: All locks were operated as required, and lock appurtenances and stand-by plant were main- tained. General repairs were made to dwellings at Kentucky and Hales Bar locks, steel ladders in the lock walls and lock gate gudgeon pins at Hales Bar lock, and anchor chains on the floating guard boom at Pickwick lock. Electric motors of the gate and valve operating mechanism at Kentucky lock were revarnished and baked. The ele- vated domestic water supply tank at Wheeler lock and the above water surfaces of the lower gates at Pickwick lock were cleaned and painted. Remodeling of the operations buildings at lock 1 and Hales Bar lock, installation of the new electric switchboard at lock 1, and deficiencies on the rewiring of the lock lighting system at Wilson lock were com- pleted. Installation of new oil pumps on the gate and valve gear reducers at Kentucky lock was initiated. Operations for relocation of the transformer station at Wilson lock were initiated, but subse- quently deferred in lieu of more urgent work. Other operations in- cluded emergency repairs to the floating guard boom at Pickwick lock and work incident to unwatering, repairing, and painting of valves at Wilson lock. The cost of operating and care was $563,344.41. The total costs and expenditures during the fiscal year were as follows: Costs Funds -Expenditures Maintenance Operating Total and care Regular_ -------------------------------- $61,285.75 $563,344.41 $624, 630.16 $611,006.14 M aintenance and operation -- -- -- -- -- - -- . --- -- . -- . .. ... .. .

The existing project was complete except for appurtenant improvements contemplated by the Corps of Engineers, consisting of housing, minor buildings and utilities on the Guntersville, Watts Bar, and Wheeler lock reservations. Construction under the 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 projected locks and dams had been completed, affording a navigable depth of 9 feet between the mouth and Knoxville, Tenn. (head of river), except in the lock 1 canal and a short stretch in the upper reaches of Hales Bar pool. Dredging in the canal and the raising of dam 1 and Hales Bar Dam remaining under the Tennessee Valley Authority program to provide 1468 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 full project dimensions were completed by that agency in 1948. The table under the paragraph "Existing project" gives the year opened to navigation and other information concerning the 10 locks now in operation. The completed locks were operated and maintained under the per- manent 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 Novem- ber 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 river and harbors, in addition to the following: Pickwick Landing lock, since September 1, 1937; Guntersville lock, since September 1, 1937; Chickamauga lock, since October 15, 1937; Watts Bar lock, since March 3, 1941; Kentucky lock, since February 10, 1942; and Fort Lou- doun lock, since October 10, 1943.

CUMBERLAND, KY. Location. This project is located at Cumberland, Ky., on the Poor Fork of the Cumberland River approximately 23 miles above its con- fluence with the Clover Fork at Harlan, Ky. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for partial flood protection at Cumberland, Ky., by improving the carrying capacity of the river through the heart of the city, affording an average reduction of 0.8 of a foot in stages of all known floods. The work consists of the removal of deposits of boulders, gravel, and sand and otherwise enlarging and realigning the existing channel, beginning at a point approximately 200 feet upstream from the U.S. Highway 119 bridge and extending 6000 feet downstream to a point about 2100 feet below the Billips Avenue bridge, involving a total excavation of 44,000 cubic yards of material. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1951, is $77,700 for con- struction (Federal) and $200 for lands and damages (non-Federal). The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved May 17, 1950. Local cooperation. See pages 4-5 for requirements. The proposed plan of partial protection and the requirements of cooperation were explained at a meeting with local interests on December 22, 1947, at 1472 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 which time the mayor of Cumberland expressed willingness of the city to meet the necessary requirements if the project were authorized. Operations and results during fiscal year. None. Condition at end of fiscal year. Funds for prosecution of work on the improvement have not been made available. Proposed operations. No operations are contemplated during the fiscal years 1952 and 1953. 7. MIDDLESBORO, CUMBERLAND RIVER BASIN, KY. Location. This project is located at Middlesboro, Ky., on Yellow Creek, a tributary entering the Cumberland River about 660 miles above its mouth. Existing project. The 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 Tan- ning & 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 ap- proved June 22, 1936. The cost of the completed project is $817,830. The estimate of annual cost for maintenance is $5,800, made in 1949. Local cooperation. None required. Operationsand results during fiscal year. New work: None. Maintenance: Levees, canals, and appurtenances were maintained by hired labor at a cost of $4,773.74. The expenditures were $2,444.46, all from regular funds. Conditionat 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 acquisition and transfer to the United States of rights-of-way and flowage easements. Con- struction 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, 1951, were $853,283.98, of which $817,829.98, including $38,876.31 from Emergency Relief funds, was for new work and $35,454 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $850,946.72, including $38,876.31 from Emergency Relief funds. Propbsed operations. The balance unexpended on June 30, 1951, $3,583.26, plus an allotment of $3,000 for the fiscal year 1952, totaling $6,583.26, will be applied as follows: FLOOD CONTROL--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1473 Accounts payable June 30, 1951 ----------------------------------- $2,333.26 Maintenance (July 1, 1951 to June 30, 1952) (hired labor) : Maintenance of levees, canal, and appurtenant works ------------ 3,350.00 Stream gaging ------------------------------------------------ 900.00 Total ------------------------------------------ 6,583.26 The additional sum of $9,000 can be profitably expended for main- tenance scheduled during the fiscal year 1953.

The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a system of levees and concrete flood walls for the protec- tion of Pineville and its residential suburb, Wallsend, consisting 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. 25 E, 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 Cumber- land River to rejoin the highway at a point 250 feet south of the inter- section 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 dis- tance of 1,500 feet in the embankment of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad which runs along the northern edge of the community. Incidental construction includes one pumping station each in Pine- ville proper and Wallsend, with appurtenant outlet works and inter- cepting 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 Federal cost of new work, revised in 1951, is $1,540,000; the estimated non-Federal cost is $610,000. Local cooperation. See pages 4-5 for requirements. Subsequent to passage of the authorizing act, local interests expressed inability to fulfill the requirements. Following the flood of January 1946, how- 1474 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 ever, interest in the project was renewed, and informal assurances were furnished at a public hearing on April 27, 1946, and at a further meet- ing on December 22, 1947, relative to flood control in the upper Cum- berland River basin, that the requirements of local cooperation would be fully complied with. In compliance, a bond issue has been voted by the city to finance its share of the cost of the project. 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 fiscal .year 1948 in interest of flood control in the upper Cum- berland River basin, printed as House Document 345, Eighty-first Congress, first session, and local interests expressed willingness to meet the requirements of local participation if work on the improve- ment, as recommended therein, is initiated. Proposed operations. An allotment of $25,000 for the fiscal year 1952 will be applied to initiate planning for the project. The addi- tional sum of $400,000 can be profitably expended for planning and initiation of construction scheduled during the fiscal year 1953; con- templating completion of about 2,400 feet of concrete flood wall and 800 feet of earth levee.

WOLF CREEK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, KY. Location. The site of the Wolf Creek Dam is on the Cumberland River, 460.9 miles above its mouth. It is in Russell County, Ky., and is about 10 miles southwest of Jamestown, Ky., and 12 miles north of Albany, Ky. The Wolf Creek Reservoir will extend 101 miles up the main stream, 48 miles up the South Fork of Cumberland River, and will lie within Russell, Clinton, Wayne, Pulaski, McCreary, Laurel, and Whitley Counties, Ky. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a combination earth and concrete gravity-type dam, 5,736 feet long and 240 feet in height above its lowest foundation; and a hydroelectric power generating plant. The dam consists of a rolled- earth embankment section extending 3,940 feet from the right abut- ment across the flood plain portion of the valley, and a concrete struc- ture, 1,796 feet in length, comprised of spillway, power intake, and adjacent nonoverflow sections, connecting the embankment with the left abutment. The spillway contains 6 gate-controlled conduits and is surmounted with 10 tainter crest gates to provide for regulating and discharging flood flows. The powerhouse, a reinforced concrete structure of the conventional indoor type, is located directly at the downstream base of the power intake section of the dam through which 6 penstocks were constructed. The power installation will consist initially of six 45,000 kilowatt generating units. The project is one unit of a coordinated plan for the control of floods and the develop- ment of the water resources of the Cumberland River Basin, this plan in turn forming an integral part of the comprehensive plan of devel- opment 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 con- struction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, and the additional authorization contained in the River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946. The current (1951) estimated cost of the project, including the six-unit power installation, is $82,700,000. 1476 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved -June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work (contract): Construction operations for completion of the dam, power plant, and appurtenant works, and miscellaneous activities under supply con- tracts for materials and equipment being furnished by the Government were continued. The principal items of work under the contract for construction of the dam were brought to the following percentages of completion: Common excavation, 98 percent; rock excavation, 100 per- cent; rolled fill, 99 percent; concrete placed, 99 percent; reinforcing steel placed, 100 percent; and cofferdam, 100 percent. Work on the power plant consisted primarily of placing 27,475 cubic yards of con- crete and 1,876,000 pounds of reinforcing steel, and operations for in- stallation of the following systems which were brought to stages of completion as shown: draft tube unwatering, 93 percent; station drainage, 94 percent; generator cooling water, 88 percent; treated water, 37 percent; raw water, 70 percent; sewage disposal, 88 percent; lubricating oil, 66 percent; and transit oil, 89 percent. The progress of work under the various supply contracts during the year was satis- factory. Operations under two remaining contracts for clearing portions of the reservoir area were completed, with a total of 310 acres being cleared. Under an agreement entered into with the State of Kentucky for highway and highway bridge relocations made necessary by construc- tion of the project, the State prosecuted work under 12 contracts, one of which was awarded during the year. Work under seven of the contracts was completed. The agreement provides for reimbursement by the Government of its proportional part of the relocation costs. Under a similar agreement with the Southern Railway System, work was completed under one outstanding contract of the three awarded by that agency covering necessary railway and railway bridge reloca- tions, all in the vicinity of Burnside, Ky. Outstanding agreements with the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., and the South Ken- tucky Rural Electric Cooperative for relocation of affected telephone and power lines were fulfilled, in addition to other utility relocation agreements entered into during the year with the Kentucky Utilities Co., The Somerset Refinery, and the Kentucky Water Service Co. Final tests of intake pumping equipment remaining under a contract for waterworks and street construction in connection with the reloca- tion of the city of Burnside, Ky., were also completed. New work (hired labor) : A total of 223 acres within the reservoir area at Burnside, Ky., were cleared, and a pump float and stairway in connection with the temporary water supply for the city were con- structed. Land acquisition activities were continued, approximately 1;878 acres being acquired in fee simple, and 80 acres in easement. Opera- tions for removal and salvage of improvements from the reservoir area covered the remaining 11,100 acres involved. Maintenance (operating and care) : Regulation of the reservoir was not commenced until the latter part of the fiscal year. Closure of the dam was started on August 7, 1950, at which time the reservoir eleva- FLOOD CONTROL---NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1477 tion was 586.7 feet with a total storage of 56,000 acre-feet. Gradual filling of the reservoir was begun during the early part of September 1950, and as a result of heavy rainfall during the latter part of that year and the early part of 1951, the reservoir was filled to spillway crest, corresponding to elevation 723, on March 15, 1951, with a total storage of 3,995,000 acre-feet. Discharges were made as required dur- ing the filling period by means of sluices, the reservoir being operated exclusively for flood control in so far as construction activities per- mitted. The maximum reservoir elevation of 729.0 feet, with a total storage of 4,302,000 acre-feet, occurred on April 4, 1951. The outflow varied from zero discharge on numerous occasions to a maximum of 30,000 cubic feet per second on April 4-5, 1951. During the occur- rence of a flood in late January and early February, the combined operation of this project with the Center Hill and Dale Hollow Reser- voirs resulted in crest reductions on the Cumberland River of 30.0, 20.5, 11.0, and 12.5 feet at Celina, Carthage, Nashville, and Clarksville, Tenn., respectively. Activities were continued under the reservoir management pro- gram comprising shoreline sanitation, malaria control, conservation, land management and disposal, and operation and maintenance of public use facilities. The costs were $14,274,763.40, of which $14,203,729.38 was for new work and $71,034.02 for maintenance. The expenditures were $13,868,577.63. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project as a whole was 83 percent complete. Preliminary work was 89 percent complete. Con- struction of right and left-bank access roads and the provision of a temporary construction camp at the project site for Government in- spection personnel were completed during early 'tages of the project. Work under the original contract for construction of the dam and appurtenant works was begun in August 1941, but was terminated in 1943 in interest of the war effort, when about 8 percent complete. A new continuing contract for completion of the dam was awarded and work under that contract, commenced in September 1946, was approx- imately 94 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. Construc- tion of the power plant, initiated in November 1949, was 60 percent complete. Contracts for the following have been completed: Aerial photography of reservoir; access roads; power plant design; clearing line survey; slide gates; intake gates and hoisting equipment; draft tube pier nose castings; tainter gates; tainter gate anchorages; tainter gate operating machinery; cement (under four contracts); reservoir clearing (under five contracts) ; cemetery removals (under three con- tracts); waterworks and street construction for relocation of Burn- side, Ky.; and furnishing and erecting one 100,000-gallon steel water tank at Burnside, Ky. The status of work on other items by contract was as follows: Furnishing main unit turbines and governors, 91 per- cent complete; station service turbine and governor, 97 percent; six main unit generators, 46 percent; one station service generator, 95 percent; miscellaneous power plant equipment, 77 percent; and mis- cellaneous accessory electrical equipment, 49 percent. Work accom- plished under agreement with and contracted for by the State of Kentucky for highway and highway bridge relocations in the reservoir 1478 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 represented approximately 87 percent of the entire obligation of the Government under the agreement. Work under the agreement with and contracted for by the Southern Railway System for railway and railway bridge relocations in the reservoir was complete. A total of 9 agreements covering relocations of roads, telephone and power lines, and other utilities have also been fulfilled. Mapping of the reservoir area (731 square miles), and operations for removal and salvage of improvements from the reservoir, have been completed. Detailed inventory appraisals and investigations in connection with acquisition of lands within the reservoir were essen- tially complete. Approximately 99 percent of the necessary lands has been acquired, about 92,105 acres having been obtained in fee simple and 474 acres in road and flowage easements. Total costs to June 30, 1951, were $69,515,648.68, of which $69,444,614.66 was for new work and $71,034.02 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $67,077,480.32. Proposed operations.

DALE HOLLOW RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, TENN. AND KY. Location. Dale Hollow Dam is looated 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, 10 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, Picket, Overton, and Fentress Counties, Tenn. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for construc- tion of a concrete gravity-type dam, 1,717 feet long and 185 feet in height above its lowest foundation; and a hydroelectric power generat- ing plant. The dam consists of spillway and power intake sections across the flood plain portion of the valley width, flanked by non- overflow transition sections terminating in the abutments. Four gate- 1480 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 controlled conduits through the base of the spillway section and six tainter crest gates provide for regulating and discharging flood flows. The powerhouse, a reinforced concrete structure of the conventional indoor type is located directly at the downstream base of the power intake section of the dam through which three penstocks were con- structed. The power installation consists of two 18,000 kilowatt generating units with provisions for a third unit 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 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 authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938 and the.additional authorization contained in the River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946. The estimated cost of the project, including the three-unit power installation, revised in 1951. is $26,200,000. The estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the project, revised in 1950, is $300,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work (contract) : Minor deficiency _corrections, escalation and final settlement under three supply contracts for materials and equipment furnished by the Government in construction of the power plant (initial development) were continued. Construction by contract of five permanent resi- dences and one comfort station at the dam site was completed. Work incident to installation of the third power unit was initiated with the award during the latter part of the year of supply contracts for the major equipment items, including intake gate, turbine, gen- erator, and transformer. New work (hired labor) : The following items were completed: Draft of powerhouse operation and maintenance manual; grading and landscaping of the permanent housing area, installation of utili- ties, and construction of public facilities at the dam site; and the establishment of four commercial recreational sites. In connection with the completion of land acquisition activities, court awards were rendered on 19 of the 24 outstanding cases in condemnation. Other operations consisted of work incident to preparation of plans and specifications for addition of the third power unit, including extension of the switchyard to provide for two additional transmission line connections. Maintenance (operating and care) : The dam was operated and the structure and its appurtenances were maintained as required. Stream gaging operations were continued. Operation of the power plant was continuous throughout the year, except for few periods of short FLOOD CONTROL-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1481 duration for inspection and maintenance purposes. Under existing regulations, the total net energy generated, amounting to 163,494,300 kilowatt-hours, was made available through the Department of the Interior to the Tennessee Valley Authority for distribution. Regulation of the reservoir during the year was limited entirely to releases for the generation of power, with a maximum release for this purpose of 3,890 cubic feet per second. The minimum flow of zero obtained when the plant was not in operation. The average pool ele- vation was 645.3 feet, which is 5.7 feet below the spillway crest level. Reservoir storage varied from a minimum of 1,040,000 acre-feet in January, corresponding to a pool elevation of 638.9 feet, to a max- imum of 1,317,000 acre-feet, corresponding to elevation 649.7, on April 4, 1951. During the occurrence of a flood in late January and the first part of February, the combined effect of this project and the Wolf Creek and Center Hill Reservoirs resulted in crest reductions on the Cumberland River of 30.0, 20.5, 11.0, and 12.5 feet at Celina, Carthage, Nashville, and Clarksville, Tenn., respectively. Activities under the reservoir management program comprising shoreline sanitation, malaria control, conservation, land management and disposal, and operation and maintenance of public use facilities were continued. The costs were $466,667.75, of which $253,597.46 was for new work and $213,070.29 for maintenance. The expenditures were $486,556.61. Conditionat end of fiscal year. Reflecting the addition of the third and final power unit, the project as a whole was 91 percent complete. Preliminary work was 91 percent complete. Construction of the dam and its appurtenances, initiated in March 1942, was completed and the improvement placed in operation for flood control in October 1943. The power plant, with two 18,000 kilowatt generating units (initial development) in commercial operation, was completed in April 1949. Construction, by contract, of permanent housing and a comfort station at the project site was completed during the fiscal year. All other contracts pertaining to the initial development were complete except in three instances involving escalation and final settle- ment. Work incident to the provision of the third power unit was in progress at the end of the year under contracts for the following major equipment items: Intake gate; turbine; generator; and transformer. Acquisition of necessary lands for the reservoir has been completed, except for final processing of condemnation proceedings on 3 tracts acquired by declaration of taking. The area acquired comprises 52,405 acres in fee simple, 89 acres of flowage easements, and 2 acres of road easement. Reservoir operations including mapping (258 square miles), clearing (17,168 acres), removal and salvage of improvements, relocations, and development of management and public use facilities have been completed. Construction of relocated Tennessee Highway No. 42 bridge, removal of 6 highway bridges, relocation of 2,293 graves, and clearing of 10,179 acres of the reservoir area were accom- plished by contract.

CENTER HILL RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, TENN. Location. The site of the Center Hill Dam is on the Caney Fork River, 26.6 miles above its confluence with the Cumberland River (mile 309.2) at Carthage, Tenn. It is in DeKalb County, Tenn., and is about 55 miles east of Nashville, Tenn., 30 miles north of McMinn- ville, Tenn., 20 miles west of Cookeville, Tenn., and 14 miles southeast of Carthage, Tenn. The Center Hill Reservoir will extend about 64 miles up the main stream and about 10 miles up Falling Water River, and will lie within De Kalb, Putnam, White, and Warren Counties, Tenn. Existing 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 consists 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 abut- ment. The spillway contains six gate-controlled conduits and is sur- mounted with eight tainter crest gates to provide for regulating and discharging flood flows. In addition to the main dam structure, the project provided 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, is located directly at the downstream base of the power intake section of the dam through which three penstocks were constructed. The power installation consists 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 re- sources 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 covers an area of 23,060 acres and 1484 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 provides 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 purposes. The drainage area controlled is 2,195 square miles or approximately four-fifths of the Caney Fork 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 and the additional authorization con- tained in the River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946. The current (1951) estimated cost of the project, including the three-unit power installation, is $44,728,000. The estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the project, made in 1950, is $345,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work (contract): Work under the contract for construction of the dam, appurtenant works and access roads, as amended to include construction of the power plant, was continued. Construction of the dam proper was completed. Approximate quantities of the major items of work accomplished were as follows: Common excavation, 92,450 cubic yards; concrete placed, 13,400 cubic yards; and reinforcing steel placed, 225,500 pounds. Operations pertaining to power plant con- struction consisted principally of work on architectural features of the powerhouse and installation of the main power units and trans- formers with switchyard facilities. Incidental construction included installation of various systems, such as transil oil, station drainage, draft tube unwatering, ventilating, piezometer piping, generator cooling water, raw water, and compressed air. All three power units were completed and placed in operation. Miscellaneous activities under supply contracts for materials and equipment furnished by the Government were completed in accordance with delivery schedules. Other contract operations included the con- struction of five permanent residences (operators' quarters) at the dam site. New work (hired labor) : Except for trial of condemnation cases pending in court, land acquisition activities were completed. Con- struction by hired labor involved partial completion of service build- ings, walks and roadways, permanent housing utilities, and public use facilities at the dam site comprising project overlook, parking area, and comfort station. Maintenance (operating and care) : The dam was operated and the structure and appurtenances maintained as required. Stream gaging was continued. Operation of the power plant was commenced when generator unit No. 1 was put in service commercially on December 11, 1950. Power units Nos. 2 and 3 were placed in operation on Janu- ary 17, 1951, and April 11, 1951, respectively. The units were oper- ated continuously during the rest of the year, except for a few periods of short duration for tests and maintenance purposes. Under exist- ing regulations, the total net energy generated, amounting to 312,- 585,800 kilowatt-hours, was made available through the Department of the Interior to the Tennessee Valley Authority for distribution. Regulation of the reservoir prior to December 11, 1950, was pri- marily for low flow operation; from that date to April 13, 1951, for FLOOD CONTROL-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1485 flood control and power; and after April 13, 1951, for power ex- clusively. Periodic minor flood control operations were necessary during the months of December through March and part of April. Operation for major flood control was required during the latter part of January and early part of February, with a maximum release of 24,800 cubic feet per second on February 6, 1951. The average pool elevation was 649.5 feet, which is 1.5 feet above the spillway crest level. Reservoir storage varied from a minimum of 1,187,000 acre- feet, corresponding to elevation 640.0 feet, to a maximum of 1,579,000 acre-feet, corresponding to elevation 661.1 feet on November 5, 1950. No releases were made from the reservoir during the period July 24- November 5, 1950, due to downstream repair work. During the occur- rence of the late January and early February flood, the combined operation of this project with Wolf Creek and Dale Hollow Reservoirs resulted in crest reductions on the Cumberland River of 20.5, 11.0, and 12.5 feet at Carthage, Nashville, and Clarksville, Tennessee, respectively. Activities under the reservoir management program comprising shoreline sanitation, malaria control, conservation, land management and disposal, and operation and maintenance of public use facilities were continued. The costs were $4,022,860.47, of which $3,848,682.87 was for new work, and $174,177.60 for maintenance. The expenditures were $4,703,372.34. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project as a whole was 97 per- cent complete. Preliminary work was 94 percent complete. Work under the contract for construction of the dam, appurtenant works and access roads was begun in March 1942, but was suspended in March 1943, in interest of the war effort, when about 40 percent complete. Operations were resumed in January 1946. Final closure of the dam was effected in November 1948, at which time the project was placed in operation for flood control. Work under the prime contract, as modified to include construction of the power plant, and activities under the supply contracts for materials and equipment furnished by the Government, were essentially complete at the end of the year. The dam proper has been completed and the power plant placed in opera- tion. Generator units Nos. 1, 2, and 3 were put in service commer- cially on December 11, 1950, January 17, 1951, and April 11, 1951, respectively. Reservoir operations, including mapping (178 square miles), clear- ing (15,850 acres), removal and salvage of improvements, cemetery removals, and relocation of Tennessee State Highway No. 26 (Sligo) and 56 bridges, have been completed. Detailed inventory appraisals and investigations in connection with acquisition of lands within the reservoir were essentially complete, and approximately 99 percent of the necessary lands have been acquired; about 37,744 acres having been obtained in fee simple, 87 acres in road and flowage easements, and 829 acres by transfer from another Government agency. Operators' quarters at the dam site had also been completed at the end of the year, and work was in progress on utility installations and construction of service buildings, public use facilities, road ways, etc. General cleanup and landscaping of the grounds remains to be accomplished. 1486 o REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Total costs to June 30, 1951, were $43,459,225.37, of which $43,199,- 650.02 was for new work and $259,575.35 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $42,675,092.08.

STEWART'S FERRY RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, TENN. Location. The site of the Stewarts Ferry Dam is on the Stones River, 6.8 miles above its confluence with the Cumberland River (mile 205.9); in Davidson County, Tenn.; approximately 7 miles east of Nashville, Tenn. Stewarts Ferry Reservoir will extend in a south- easterly direction from the dam site approximately 32 miles along the main stream, 10 miles up the East Fork, 8 miles up the West Fork, and for shorter distances up other tributaries of the Stones River; and will lie within Davidson, Rutherford and Wilson Counties, Tenn. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a combination earth and concrete gravity-type dam, 2,704 feet long and 146 feet in height above its lowest foundation; and a hydroelectric power generating plant. The dam will consist of rolled- earth embankment sections extending 550 feet and 1,325 feet, respec- tively, from the right and left abutments, connected by a concrete structure 829 feet in length, comprised of spillway and atljoining nonoverflow sections. The spillway, to be located in the flood plain adjacent to the right bank of the river channel, will contain five gate- controlled conduits and will be surmounted with seven tainter crest gates to 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 non- overflow section to be constructed across the stream channel area, one 48-foot monolith of which is designed as an intake structure to contain one ,16-foot diameter pen stock. The power installation will con- sist of one generating unit of 13,500-kilowatt capacity. 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 25,220 acres and provide a storage capacity of 723,000 acre-feet, of which 421,000 is allocated for flood control and 108,000 for power drawn-down, leaving a minimum pool of 194,000 acre-feet available at all times for public use and conservation purposes.

Minor expenses only were incurred during the year in connection with foundation investi- gation work at the Three Islands dam site. The costs for new work were $428.70. The expenditures were $1,475.31. Condition at end of fiscal year. The status of Wolf Creek, Dale Hollow, Center Hill, and Stewarts Ferry Reservoirs, selected for construction under this authorization, is given in individual reports. With the completion of definite project plans in fiscal year 1949, further work on the Middlesboro (Yellow Creek), Ky., local protection project was deferred pending definite action with respect to local cooperation. The city of Middlesboro passed an order at a regular council meeting on January 14, 1946, pledging fulfillment of the re- quired conditions, but has taken no additional steps toward further- ance of the project. Advance planning for Three Islands and Rossview Reservoirs, the remaining projects considered in the comprehensive plan within the Nashville District, was temporarily suspended during the fiscal year in lieu of more urgent work. Detailed plans previously developed for both projects are subject to certain supplementary studies and investigations, and consequent revisions, to reflect current conditions and engineering practices. Mapping of the reservoir area (213 square miles), reservoir area-capacity determinations, and additional foundation investigation work for further site analysis studies inci- dent to revision of the Three Islands project plans have been com- pleted. The total costs to June 30, 1951, were $137,572.50. The total expenditures were $137,571.01. Proposed operations.

KENTUCKY RIVER, KY. Location. The Kentucky River is formed by the confluence of its North and Middle forks about 4 miles east of the town of Beattyville in east central Kentucky, the South fork joining the main stream at that place, and flows in a general northwesterly direction 258.6 miles and empties into the Ohio River at Carrollton, Ky., mile 545.8 below Pittsburgh, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey Chart for State of Kentucky; scale, 1:500,000.) Existing project. The project provides for 14 locks and fixed dams to give in connection with the improvement of the Ohio River, slack water navigation of 6 feet minimum depth from the Ohio River to points on the three forks a short distance above Beattyville, Ky. The length of the 6-foot depth project on the main system 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 intermediate RIVERS AND HIARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1497 locks the extreme height of floods exceeds 40 feet. All flood heights are referred to upper-pool gages. The cost of new work for the completed project which contemplated the rehabilitation of the five State locks and dams and the extension of slack water to the three forks at Beattyville, was $4,176,749. The estimate of annual cost of maintenance of the Kentucky River, revised in 1951, is $50,000 for maintenance of the channel in the 135 miles of river between the mouth and Camp Nelson, Ky., and $157,500 for operating and care of locks and dams Nos. 1 to 7 inclusive. 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 (Annual Report 1879, p. 1398). Operation and care of the locks and dams were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriation Repeal Act, approved June 26, 1934. No project map of the river has been published. The following statement shows the characteristics of the several locks and dams in this project.

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 135 miles of river between the mouth and Camp Nelson, Ky. Maintenance (operating and care): Work during the fiscal year consisted of the operation and maintenance of the fourteen locks and dams. The costs were $38,620.14 for maintenance of channels and $259,990.97 for operating and care of locks and dams; a total of $298,611.11. The expenditures were $317,532.35, of which $304,650.49 was from regular funds and $12,881.86 from the appropriation "Main- tenance and operation of dams and other improvements of navigable waters." Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1917. The work accomplished under the project has been the re- habilitation of the five old State locks and dams and the construction of new locks and dams Nos. 6 to 14, inclusive. The year of completion of the various locks and dams is given in the table in the paragraph "Existing project." Locks 8-14 inclusive were being operated at minimum cost pending decision as to final disposition. 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 No. 8 are wearing away by erosion. The remaining locks and dams, Nos. 9 to 14, inclu- sive, are of concrete construction and the masonry is generally in good condition. At the end of the fiscal year, the controlling navigable depth was 6 feet between the mouth of the river and Camp Nelson, Ky. and 31/2 feet between Camp Nelson, Ky. and the head of naviga- tion. .The costs to the end of the fiscal year were $4,176,749.05 for new work, $676,922.44 for maintenance, and $2,291,465.05 for operating and care of locks and dams, all from regular funds, and $51,000 for operating and care of locks and dams from the appropriation "Main- tenance and operation of dams and other improvements of navigable waters", a total of $7,196,136.54. The expenditures were $7,195,604.68 of which $7,144,604.68 was from regular funds and $51,000 from the appropriation "Maintenance and operation of dams and other improvements of navigable waters." In addition, the sum of $6,405,- 371.78 was expended between July 5, 1884 and June 30, 1937 on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended $53,840.64 June 30, 1951, plus $144,000 allotted during the fiscal year 1952, a total of $197,840.64, will be applied as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1499 Accounts payable June 30, 1951 3,103.15 $------------------- Maintenance: Clearing channel, mouth to Camp Nelson, Ky.

S. ARMY, 1951 Existing project. This provides for the purchase of improvements made prior to 1884 by the State of Kentucky, consisting of locks and dams 1 to 4, Green River, and 1, Barren River, which gave a continu- ous 4-foot depth for navigation from Bowling Green, on the Barren River, to. the mouth of Green River; the reconstruction of lock 2, Green River; the upstream extension of slack-water navigation on Green River to Mammoth Cave, Ky., by the construction of locks and dams 5 and 6 and by the removal of snags and slides; the construction of new locks at dam 1, Barren River, and at dam 5, Green River; the raising of the crest of dam 5, Green River, 2 feet, by means of a movable A-frame top; the improvement of Nolin River by the removal of obstructive bars, boulders, overhanging rocks, and snags; and the improvement of Bear Creek by removing snags and widening 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 30.1 miles; for Nolin River from the mouth to Meredith Ferry, a distance of 73/4 miles; and for Bear Creek, Ky., for a distance of 8 miles above its mouth. The navigable depth of the improved portions is limited to 5.5 feet by the elevations of the existing lock miter sills. Fluctuations in stage vary considerably at the different locks. At lock 3, Green River, ordinary fluctuations due to high stages are from 12 to 15 feet above the pool level, and at lock 1, Barren River, from 7 to 10 feet above pool. The maximum stages of record are 34 feet above normal pool stage at lock 3, Green River, and 29 feet at lock 1, Barren River. These stages were obtained during the floods of 1937 and 1913, respectively. The principal data concerning the locks and dams are shown in the following table: Location Greatest Depth Depth length on lower on upper Lock and Width of lock Lift at miter sill miter sill Distance of lock available normal at at dam arest town from chamber for pool normal normal mouth of full pool pool river width level level GREEN RIVER Miles Feet Feet Feet Feet Feet 1 ........

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, 1502 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 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. 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 between the mouth of the Green River and Bowling Green, Ky. on the Barren River. 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 $17,499.87 for maintenance of channels and $90,557.30 for operating and care of locks and dams, a total of $108,057.17. The total expenditures, all from regular funds, were $109,832.59. 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 good condition. The controlling navigable depth in the sections covered by the existing project was 5.5 feet at the end of the fiscal year. Operation of Locks Nos. 5 and 6, Green River, which are no longer used by commercial traffic, was discontinued on August 1, 1951. These two locks and dams are not worthy of further maintenance. New work remaining to be done consists of the removal of overhang- ing rock ledges at Whistle Mountain on Nolin River, provided for by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, and the improvement of Bear Creek, provided by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930.

ROUGH RIVER, KY. Location. This stream is one of the principal tributaries of Green River and lies wholly within the State of Kentucky. It rises in Hardin County, flows westerly 136 miles, and empties into Green River at Livermore, 71 miles from the mouth of that river. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts, Kentucky quadrangles: Central City, Hartford, Whitesville.) Existing project. This provides for clearing the river of obstruc- tions and for the construction of a lock and dam to carry slack water to Hartford, Ky. The new work provided for having been completed, the project now contemplates the maintenance of the lock and dam 1504 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 and keeping the river channel free from the snags and other obstruc- tion 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 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 subse- quently 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 origi- nally proposed. The cost of new work for the completed project was $105,500.00. The current (1951) estimate of annual cost of operation and care of the lock and dam is $500.

Maintenance (operating and care) : Work during the fiscal year consisted of the performance of custodial services at lock 1, Rough River. The services of a full time caretaker at the lock and dam were discontinued on November 1, 1950. The total cost during the fiscal year was $1,310.16 for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,335.27. RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1505 Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in1899. At the end of the year the lock and dam were in poor condi- tion. The lock gates could not be operated because of mud deposits in the lock chamber. Negotiations were in progress to lease the dwelling and grounds pending completion of arrangements for final disposition. It is considered that the project structures are not worthy of further maintenance. The costs to the end of the fiscal year were $105,500 for new work and $45,871.75 for operating and care, a total of $151,371.75. The expenditures were $151,371.75. In addition, the sum of $55,298.39 was expended between 1898 and June 30, 1936, on the operating and care of the works of improvement, under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

In Campbell County, Ky., on the left bank of the Ohio River and the right bank of the Licking River at their confluence, 470 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of 8,000 feet of earth levee, 1,805 feet of concrete wall, 2,435 feet of cellular type steel sheet piling wall, three pumping plants, and other necessary appurtenances. The line of protection begins at high ground near the east end of Lexington Avenue, extends in a north- westerly direction to the left bank of the Ohio River, thence down- stream to the mouth of Licking River and upstream along the right bank of Licking River to high ground in the vicinity of Lowell and Twelfth Streets. The section along Licking River from Chestnut Street to Hodge Street is cellular type steel sheet piling and the section from Hodge Street to Lowell and Twelfth Streets is concrete wall. The project will provide protection for the city of Newport, Ky., against Ohio River and Licking River floods equal to the maximum of record which occurred in 1937. The estimated Federal cost of the project, revised in 1951, is $6,850,000; the estimated non-Federal cost is $809,000. 1508 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 The existing 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. See pages 4-5 for requirements. The city of Newport has acquired all necessary rights-of-way. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction of the project was continued during the year including the cellular type steel sheet piling wall, the Licking River floodwall, Part 2, the pumping plants and the electrical facilities. Construction of the Licking River floodwall, Part 2, the pumping plants, and the electric facilities was completed. A contract for furnishings, installing, and painting closure parts at three existing bridges was started. The partially completed project effectively prevented flooding a portion of the city during the December 1950 flood, thereby preventing flood damages estimated at $160,000. The costs during the fiscal year were $859,672.34 for new work. The expenditures were $1,005,470.97. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the project was started in April 1946 and was 95 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The levee and appurtenances along the Ohio River, the Lowell Street interceptor sewers, the concrete wall along Licking River, the pumping plants, and electric facilities have been completed. The contract for furnishing steel sheet piling was completed and con- struction of the cellular type steel sheet piling wall was 91 percent complete. The contract for furnishing, installing and painting closure parts was 18 percent complete. The remaining work, in addi- tion to that now under contract, consists of the award and accomplish- ment of a contract for the dehumidification of pumping plants, also miscellaneous cleanup and formal assignment of project to local interests for maintenance and operation. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $6,427,770.04 from regular funds, and $6,150.48 from Emergency Relief funds, a total of $6,433,920.52, all for new work.

WEST FORK OF MILL CREEK RESERVOIR OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location. The site of the West Fork of Mill Creek Dam is on the West Fork of Mill Creek 6.5 miles above its junction with Mill Creek and 2 miles northeast of Mount Healthy, Ohio, and about 10 miles north of downtown Cincinnati. The reservoir will extend upstream about 3 miles and all lies within Hamilton County, Ohio. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a dam for flood control, reduction of pumping require- ments at the Mill Creek barrier dam and recreation. It will be an 1514 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 earth embankment with a maximum height of about 100 feet and a total length of 1,100 feet. The plan for the dam includes a gate controlled concrete conduit 10.5 feet in diameter under the embank- ment along the right abutment and an uncontrolled spillway through the right abutment ridge. A permanent pool at elevation 675 having an area of 183 acres is included in the plan. The storage between elevations 675 and 702 amounting to 9,850 acre-feet, which is equiv- alent to 6.3 inches of run-off from the 29.5 square miles of drainage area above the dam, will be reserved for flood control and reduction of pumping requirements at the Mill Creek barrier dam. Also included in the plan are the acquisition of necessary land not con- trolled by local interests, clearing of the permanent pool area, reloca- tion 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 current (1951) estimated cost of new work, is $4,041,700, of which $600,000 is to be contributed by local interests. The current (1951) estimate of annual cost for operation and maintenance of the project is $28,200. The latest published map is contained in House Document No. 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 neces- sary land under their control at no cost to the United States and give assurances that they will prevent future channel encroachment below the dam site in connection with the flood control reservoir. 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 Commissioners of Hamilton County, Ohio, adopted a resolution 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 reloca- tion of the sanitary sewer outside the reservoir area in order to include the conservation pool in the project has been accepted by Hamilton County in which the United States pays one-half the cost of such relocation work. The amount of $50,000.00, required as a local contribution toward the additional cost of providing the conservation pool, has been furnished by the Hamilton County Commissioners. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction of the sanitary sewer relocation outside the reservoir area was continued. Construction of dam, outlet, and spillway was continued. Clearing of reservoir area was started in May 1951. Negotiations for purchase of reservoir lands were continued during the year. Negotiations for relocation of Winton Road were completed in May 1951.

INSPECTION OF LOCAL PROTECTION PROJECTS The Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, and subsequent acts require local interests to furnish assurances that they will main- tain and operate certain local protection projects after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. District Engineers are responsible for the administration of these regulations within the boundaries of their respective districts. The current (1951) estimate of the annual cost of this work in the Louis- ville District is $16,000. Maintenance inspections were made during the fiscal year of eleven completed units of projects transferred to local interests for mainte- nance and operation. Local interests were advised, as necessary, of measures required to maintain these projects in accordance with standards prescribed by the regulations. The costs during the fiscal year and the total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $10,963.58 for maintenance. The expenditures were $10,043.21. The balance unexpended on June 30, 1951, plus an allotment of $12,000 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1951_----------------------------_ _ $920.37 Maintenance inspections (20 projects) ___----------------------- 12,536.42 Total for all work________________________ ___ $13,456.79 The additional sum of $16,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1953 for maintenance inspections of completed units of local protection projects.

OHIO RIVER OPEN CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement, see page 1445. 3. MUSKINGUM RIVER, OHIO Location. The Muskingum River, 112.45 miles in length, and lying entirely in the State of Ohio, is formed by the junction of the Wal- honding and Tuscarawas Rivers at Coshocton, Ohio, flows in a southerly direction and empties into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project. This authorized the taking over, restoration, maintenance, and operation of the State works and plant to provide slack-water navigation between lock 1, at Marietta, Ohio, and Dres- den, Ohio, a distance of 92.85 miles. Navigation is afforded by 11 ,which locks and dams and 4 short lateral canals. The maximum depth it is now possible to maintain without extensive improvement is 4.5 feet, although in certain portions 5.5 feet is available. Above the site of the old lock 11 the minimum depth actually maintained is 2 feet. The navigable depth between lock 1 and the mouth, a dis- tance of 0.25 mile, is provided by dam 18, Ohio River, and by dredging. The original estimate of cost of restoring the dams taken over from the State of Ohio was $200,000. To this was added later the construction of a new lock and dam 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 current estimated annual maintenance costs (1951), 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. Oper- ating and care of the locks and dams were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. An index map of Muskingum RIVERS AND HARBORS-IHUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1575 River is printed in House Document 251, Seventy-eighth Congress, first session.

MASSILLON, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location. Massillon, Ohio, is located in Stark County, on the Tuscarawas River, 200 miles above the mouth of the Muskingum River. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides generally for improvement of the channel of the Tuscarawas River, constructing complementary levees, pump stations and appurtenances, and reme- dial work. The project has been subdivided into six construction 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 con- structing four railroad bridges, the substructure of the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge across the Tuscarawas 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, relocating 3,600 feet of railroad lines, construction of a control weir, replacing one highway bridge with a viaduct, raising one highway bridge and the reconstruction of affected water service, sewer and public utility lines, and (6) constructing four pump stations. In 1590 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 addition, the United States has entered into agreements with affected property owners for the performance of certain remedial work con- nected with the project. The project will provide protection (with 3-foot freeboard) against a flood with peak discharge 20 percent greater than maximum of record. The existing project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin, contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The current (1951) esti- mated cost of new work is $8,662,900, which includes a contribution of $497,850, by local interests, for additional construction and altera- tions beyond the scope of the authorized Federal project. A total of $495,600 of the contribution has been received. The $2,250 remaining to be contributed pertains to the installation of a lighting system in connection with the construction of two viaducts. The estimated average annual Federal cost of maintenance, made in 1949, is $5,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. Work under contracts for constructing units 5 and 6 of the project was continued through- out the period. A contract for installing pressure relief wells was awarded and work under the contract was well advanced during the year. Work under agreements with various railroad and utility com- panies for relocating their facilities was continued. The acquisition of land was continued, and during the fiscal year 32 tracts were acquired. The cost of new work during the fiscal year was $1,233,- 967.33. The expenditures were $1,167,247.53. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the project was initiated in July 1940, but was suspended during the war emergency. Construction was resumed in 1946. Of the six construction units described in the paragraph "Existing project," units Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 are complete. Units Nos. 5 and 6, being constructed by contract, were 92 percent and 87 percent complete, respectively, at the end of the year. Work in connection with the relocation of railroads and utilities interfering with construction of the project is about 96 per- cent complete. The acquisition of land is practically complete. Of the 182 land tracts required, 180 tracts have been acquired. Work on the entire project is about 95 percent complete. The total cost of new work to the end of the fiscal year was $8,236,501.14. The expenditures were $7,929,458.54. The foregoing cost and expendi- tures include the amount of $495,600 contributed by the Massillon Conservancy District. Proposed operations.

Its headwaters rise about 25 miles south of Lake Erie and it flows into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project. This project provides for the construction, oper- ation, and maintenance of 14 reservoirs and appurtenant works in the Muskingum River Basin. It was originally authorized by the Public Works Administration February 20, 1934, to include 15 reser- voirs as set forth in an official plan prepared by the Corps of Engi- neers and adopted by the Muskingum watershed conservancy district of Ohio, the sponsoring agency. Subsequent amendments to the offi- cial plan provided, among other things, for the elimination of one reservoir and the inclusion and later elimination of a project for channel improvement of the Tuscarawas River at Massillon, Ohio. Allotments totaling $27,190,000 were made from December 1933 to July 1937 by the Public Works Administration to aid in financing construction of this project. The project was operated and main- tained by the conservancy district from July 1938 to August 1939 when it was taken over by the Corps of Engineers for maintenance and operation in accordance with the provisions of the Flood Control Act approved August 11, 1939. The Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, authorized and directed the Secretary of War to reimburse the conservancy district a sum not to exceed the actual expenditures made by it in acquiring lands, easements, and rights-of-way for reservoirs in the Muskingum River Valley, such reimbursements not to exceed $4,500,000, nor in- clude any expenditures for lands, easements, and rights-of-way here- tofore or hereafter purchased from said district by the United States. The first allotment under this authorization was made June 29, 1939, from the War Department Appropriation Act of June 28, 1939. The Flood Control Act approved August 11, 1939, contained the provisions that the Muskingum River reservoirs be included in the flood control plan for the Ohio River Basin authorized in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938; that section 2 of the latter act apply to those reservoirs; and that the conservancy district be re- lieved of any obligation to maintain and operate the dams. The Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946, authorized such channel rectification works or other measures at or below the Mus- kingum River reservoirs as in the discretion of the Chief of Engi- neers 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, revised in 1951, to the Government excluding the cost to the Muskingum watershed con- servancy district, is $40,672,800, of which $18,493,500 is for construc- tion and $22,179,300 for lands and damages. The current (1951) estimated annual operation and maintenance cost is $245,000. For further details see Annual Report for 1946, page 1734.

Preparation of a comprehensive plan of improvement of the reservoir system was continued and advanced from 58 percent to 73 percent completion during the, period. Improvements to Magnolia and Zoar levees, initiated by contract just prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, were continued and the work was nearly complete at the end of the period. Maintenance: The 14 reservoirs were operated as required to re- duce local flooding and necessary repairs were made to the structures and appurtenances. During December 1950, the reservoirs were operated to reduce flood stages on the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers. The maximum amount of flood control storage utilized in the reser- voirs during this period was 171,200 acre-feet. These operations resulted in reductions in stages at locations in Ohio as follows: Newcomerstown, 2.2 feet; Coshocton, 1.9 feet; Dresden, 2.2 feet; Zanesville, 1.5 feet; and Marietta, 3.6 feet. The reduction at Marietta includes the effect of reservoirs in the Pittsburgh District. The total cost, all from regular funds, was $921,630.29, of which $669,401.47 was for new work and $252,228.82 was for maintenance. The expenditures were $916,413.29. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the project was initiated in January 1935. With the completion of the Dover Reser- voir in November 1938, all of the 14 flood-control dams, included in the project, were complete and in operation. The major items of presently authorized work remaining to be done consist of complet- ing acquisition of flowage easements; remedial work in the channel downstream from the Charles Mill Dam; and improvements to Mag- nolia and Zoar levees. Work in connection with the acquisition of land was in progress and of the 4,712 tracts authorized for acquisi- tion, 4,621 tracts have been acquired. Construction of channel reme- dial work has not been initiated. Improvements to Magnolia and Zoar levees are in progress and are about 98 percent and 80 percent complete at the respective locations. Work presently authorized un- der this project is about 92 percent complete. The costs and expendi- tures to the end of the fiscal year were as follows: Regular funds: The cost was $12,687,977.44, of which $11,012,- 796.17 was for new work, and $1,675,181.27 was for maintenance. The expenditures were $12,639,721.79. National Industrial Recovery funds: The cost and expenditures for new work were $27,190,000. The total cost, all funds, was $39,877,977.44, of which $38,202,- 796.17 was for new work and $1,675,181.27 was for maintenance. The expenditures were $39,829,721.79. Proposed operations.

BURR OAK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location. The dam site of the Burr Oak Reservoir is located on East Branch of Sunday Creek, a tributary of Hocking River, Ohio, about 3 miles north of the village of Glouster and 57.2 miles above the mouth of Hocking River. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a rolled earth fill dam having a maximum height of 84 feet and a total length of 944 feet; controlled outlet works discharg- ing through a tunnel located in the left abutment; and an uncon- trolled 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 0.5 mile of county roads and 0.7 mile of pipe line. The reservoir will afford substantial protection to the Sunday Creek Valley and serve as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system for the protection of the Hocking River and Ohio River Valleys. The reservoir will also provide an assured water supply to villages, industries, and coal- mine operations in the Sunday Creek Valley. The existing project FLOOD CONTROLr-HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1601 was authorized under the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944. The current (1951) estimated cost of new work is $2,876,000 of which $2,091,000 represents Federal cost and $785,000 represents cost to local interests. The current (1951) average annual estimated Federal cost of oper- ating and care of the dam and reservoir is $30,500. Local cooperation. Local or State interests are required to furnish funds for the project equal to the difference between the total esti- mated 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 Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, and the Division of Conservation and Natural Resources Department of Agriculture, State of Ohio, the State con- tributed $495,000 to be applied toward the cost of construction of the project, and retained $290,000 of the total amount to be con- tributed, for acquisition of lands and interests in land being acquired by the State in the reservoir area. However, the State has been un- able to acquire certain reservoir lands and has requested the United States to acquire such lands. The State has contributed $25,000 ad- ditional to the United States for the purchase of these lands. The agreement provides further that, subject to appropriations made by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, the State will contribute 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 insofar as water supply features are concerned. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Construction of dwelling and utilities, initiated by contract during the preceding year, was completed. Work in con- nection with the acquisition of land was continued, 16 road ease- ments being acquired. Maintenance (operation and care) : The reservoir operated as a retarding basin during the general flood of December 1950 and the amount of flood control storage utilized was 870 acre-feet. As a result of this storage it is estimated that the crest stage at Glouster, Ohio, was reduced 1.2 feet. The reservoir was also operated as re- quired to reduce local flooding and the maximum amount of flood control storage, 3,190 acre-feet, was utilized on January 15, 1951. This operation resulted in a crest stage reduction of 1.5 feet at Glouster, Ohio. The total cost was $105,361.33, of which $88,305.01 was for new work and $17,056.32 was for maintenance. The expenditures were $120,895.50. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the project was initiated in March 1948. The dam and appurtenances were completed in February 1950. Construction of the project is complete except for a few minor items of work to be accomplished by hired labor. Agreements for all necessary relocations work for the project have been executed. The United States has acquired the 8 tracts of land required for the dam site and construction area and 16 road ease- ments. Lands remaining to be acquired by the United States con- sist of 13 flowage easements. Of the 55 tracts of land to be acquired 1602 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 by the State of Ohio in the reservoir area, 37 tracts have been ac- quired. The entire project is about 95 percent complete. The total cost to the end of the fiscal year was $2,520,619.43, of which $2,496,- 070.99 was for new work and $24,548.44 was for maintenance. The expenditures were $2,517,435.76.

Va., and 1 mile above the confluence of the New and Greenbrier Rivers. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a concrete gravity dam having a maximum height of 180 feet and an over-all length of 2,048 feet, consisting of 790 feet of spillway section, 330 feet of powerhouse intake structure, and 928 feet of non-overflow sections and abutments. The reservoir created, extending approximately 36 miles upstream from the dam and pro- viding for the gross storage of 631,000 acre-feet, will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system for the protection of the New, Kanawha, and Ohio Valleys generally. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1951, is $28,946,300. The current (1951) average annual estimated Federal cost of operating and care of the dam and reservoir is $87,100. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Acts approved June 22, 1936, and June 28, 1938. Prior to the foregoing authorizations, under provisions of Executive Order No. 7183A, dated September 12, 1935 (which authorized the con- struction of a reservoir dam on New River for the reduction of flood heights in the Kanawha and Ohio Valleys, and for the development of power), surveys, foundation explorations, clearing of reservoir area, design of dam, and the acquisition of land were undertaken. The sum of $543,960.27 from emergency relief funds was allotted for initiating this work. For further details, see page 1453 of the Annual Report for 1939. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Construction of operator's quarters and a public shelter, initiated during the preceding year by contract, was com- pleted. Work under supply contracts for furnishing crest gates, trash chute gate, hoists for crest gates, and a gantry crane was continued throughout the fiscal year. Installation of crest gates and hoists, by contract, was initiated and advanced to 27 percent completion. Stud- ies, investigations, and negotiations in connection with readjustment of railroad, highway and utility facilities affected by the reservoir were completed. A total of 42 tracts of land were acquired to com- plete acquisition of all land required for the project. Maintenance (operation and care) : The reservoir was operated during December 1950 to reduce flood stages on the New, Kanawha and Ohio Rivers. The maximum amount of flood storage utilized during this period was 121,400 acre-feet. As a result of this storage it is estimated that reductions in crest stages at locations in West Virginia were as follows: Hinton, 4.0 feet; Kanawha Falls, 5.9 feet; and Charleston, 9.9 feet. At Point Pleasant, W. Va., the estimated reduction in the crest stage of the Ohio River was 4.5 feet, resulting from the operation of this reservoir in combination with other reser- voirs on tributaries of the Ohio River farther upstream. Operations under the reservoir management program, including reservoir inspec- tion and patrol work, leasing of commercial recreational sites, and FLOOD CONTROL--HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1607 leasing of lands for grazing and agricultural purposes, were con- ducted throughout the fiscal year. The total cost was $1,691,229.28, of which $1,616,370.13 was for new work and $74,859.15 was for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,314,919.04. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the project, which was initiated in January 1942, was suspended in 1943 due to the war emergency. Construction was resumed in January 1946. Construc- tion of the dam and appurtenances was completed in December 1948, except for the crest gates. Upon completing installation of crest gates, hoists, and trash chute gate as well as construction of reservoir management and public use facilities, the major items of construc- tion work for the project will be complete. Relocation agreements have been entered into with all owners having highway, railroad, and utility facilities affected by the project. The 418 tracts of land re- quired for the project have been acquired. The entire project is about 95 percent complete. The total cost to the end of the fiscal year was $27,530,951.75, of which $27,403,106.26 was for new work and $127,- 845.49 was for maintenance. The expenditures were $27,211,261.83.

Work in connec- tion with acquisition of land for the project was continued, and during the period 92 tracts were acquired. Maintenance (operation and care) : The reservoir was operated to utilize 18,200 acre-feet of flood control storage during the general flood of December 1950. As a result of this storage it is estimated that the crest stage of Levisa Fork at Paintsville, Ky., was reduced FLOOD CONTROL--IUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1611 0.9 foot. The reservoir was also operated to control local flooding during February 1951 and the maximum amount of flood control storage, 24,500 acre-feet, was utilized at that time. This operation resulted in a crest reduction of 2.6 feet in the stage at Paintsville, Ky. Operations under the reservoir management program included reservoir inspection and patrol work, leasing of commercial recre- ational sites, and leasing of lands for grazing and agricultural pur- poses. The total cost was $353,356.65, of which $315,062.70 was for new work and $38,293.95 was for maintenance. The expenditures were $372,777.35. Condition at end of fiscal year.

The reservoir is located in Delaware, Marion, and Morrow Counties, Ohio, and 32 miles above the confluence of the Olentangy and Scioto Rivers at Colum- bus, Ohio. Existing project. The project provides for the construction of a flood-control dam having a gate controlled concrete gravity ogee type spillway containing five outlet conduits, with concrete gravity non-overflow abutment sections flanked by rolled earth fill embank- ments. The dam is about 18,600 feet long having a maximum height of 92 feet. The reservoir created, providing for the storage of 132,000 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 381 square miles, necessitates the construction of levee protection works, complete with pump stations and drainage structures for the Village of Waldo, Ohio, the relocation or reconstruction of 7.6 miles of roads, 6.5 miles of power lines, 7.0 miles of telephone lines and 7.6 miles of pipe lines, and the relocation of 4 cemeteries containing 1,744 graves. The reservoir will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir sys- tem for the protection of the Olentangy, Scioto and Ohio Valleys generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work, re- vised in 1951, is $7,751,000. The current (1951) average annual esti- mated cost of operating and care of the dam and reservoir is $36,500. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Construction of two pump stations at the Waldo, Ohio, levee protection works, initiated during the preceding fiscal year, by contract, was practically completed. Work on negotiations and consummations of relocation agreements of utilities, affected by the reservoir, was completed. The acquisition of land was completed, 106 tracts being acquired during the fiscal year. Maintenance (operation and care) : As the project was under con- struction during the year the reservoir was operated and maintained only as a retarding basin until March 20, 1951. Between this time and the end of the fiscal year the reservoir was raised to its summer conservation level. During the general flood of December 1950, 2,620 acre-feet of flood control storage was utilized, resulting in a stage reduction of 0.2 foot in the Scioto River at Columbus, Ohio. The maximum amount of flood control storage utilized was 4,160 acre- feet to reduce local flooding during January 1951. It is estimated that at this time the crest stage at Columbus, Ohio, was reduced 0.7 foot. The total cost was $515,021.06, of which $489,835.02 was for new work and $25,186.04 was for maintenance. The expenditures were $530,948.81. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the project was initiated in April 1946. The dam and appurtenances were completed in July 1948. The major items of work remaining to complete con- FLOOD CONTROL-HUNTINGTON, W.

This river rises in northern Pennsylvania, flows north- westward into New York, thence generally southwestward to Pitts- burgh, Pa., where it joins with the Monongahela River to form the Ohio. Its length is 325 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for western Pennsylvania and southwestern New York.) Existing project. This provides for eight locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation from Pittsburgh, Pa., to above East Brady, Pa., a distance of 72 miles. Original locks and dams 2 and 3 were replaced by new locks and dams 2 and 3 in 1934. Lock and dam 1 was eliminated in 1938 by the raising of the Emsworth Dam, Ohio River. The controlling depth throughout the canalized portion is 9 feet at normal pool level, and the channel width varies from a minimum of 200 feet to full width of river at the mouth. The cost of new work for the completed project was $18,157,860. The current (1951) estimate of annual cost for channel maintenance is $30,000. The current (1951) estimate of annual cost of operation and care of locks and dams, is $360,000.

S. ARMY, 1951 Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. The city of Pittsburgh has constructed a mod- ern wharf for river freight. There are numerous privately main- tained terminals and docks consisting of tipples, various types of hoists, chutes, and pipe lines for use in loading and unloading coal, coke, sand, gravel, limestone, cement, petroleum products, steel prod- ucts, and other commodities. The transshipment of freight between river and railroads is handled at privately owned river-to-rail ter- minals. Operations and results during the fiscal year. New work: Final settlement was made with Madison Township officials relative to a claim for damages to a township road due to the raising of the crest of Dam 8. This settlement completed all work on the present au- thorized project. Maintenance: Surveys and soundings for dredging as well as snagging operations were performed by hired labor. Approaches to Locks 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 were dredged and Girtys Run Bar in the Emsworth Pool removed by hired labor. About 5,300 cubic yards of material was removed from the aforementioned locations. Reestab- lishing control monuments for navigation surveys and snagging was also continued by hired labor. Maintenance (operating and care): The locks and dams were operated as required and necessary repairs and improvements made thereto and to operators' quarters and grounds. In addition to ordi- nary repairs to structures and plant, the following major work was performed by hired labor: at Lock 2, the lower lock gates and espla- nade were repaired and gate recesses in the old lock wall filled with concrete; at Lock 3, the upper lock gates were replaced; at Lock 4, the water turbine was repaired; at Lock 5, the lower lock gates and needle recess bulkheads were repaired; at Lock 6, the upper lock gates were repaired; at Lock 7, the upper and lower lock gates were replaced; at Locks 8 and 9, gate fenders were repaired. The total costs were $327,151.48 of which $4,570.88 was for new work, $9,198.91 for channel maintenance, and $313,381.69 for opera- tion and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $335,703.47. Condition at end of fiscal year. All locks and dams are complete and in operation. The navigation channel has been widened at cer- tain points and, in general, maintained to project depth, affording adequate depth at all times for passage of commercial tows. The project is complete as authorized.

The dam site is located on the Tygart River in Taylor County, W. Va., about 22.7 miles above the mouth of the river at Fairmont, W. Va. It is 2.25 miles upstream from Grafton, W. Va., and about 78 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located in Taylor and Barbour Counties, W. Va. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Fairmont, Thornton, and Belington, W. Va.) Existing project. The construction of a concrete gravity dam was authorized by the Public Works Administration January 11, 1934, and adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935. This dam is 1,921 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 pre- vention in the Monongahela and Ohio Valleys, while the remaining 11,200 acre-feet are conservation storage. Low-water control is also provided by storing 100,000 acre-feet during the spring months for release during low rainfall periods to make up the deficiency of water in the Monongahela River. Two pen stocks are contained in the dam for possible future generation of hydroelectric power. The cost of new work for the completed project was $18,431,844. The current (1951) estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the project is $46,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance (operating and care): The reservoir was operated effectively, as required, and necessary repairs made to the dam and related structures. On November 24-25, 1950, a record breaking snowfall occurred over the Monongahela River Basin and Allegheny River Basin below Warren, Pa. At the end of the month, the snow cover over Tygart River Basin had 21/4 inches of water content. A rapid thaw on December 2 and 3, accompanied by heavy, general rain on Decem- RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1637 ber 3, caused a flood along the Ohio River which crested at 28.68 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and 40.7 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. (lock 12). The reduction made by this reservoir at Pittsburgh was 1.2 feet and, in combination with the other five reservoirs above Pittsburgh, was 3.0 feet; at Wheeling the reduction was 1.6 feet and, in combination with the other seven reservoirs above Wheeling, was 4.4 feet. Along the Monongahela River, a minor flood occurred between Lock 6 and Lock 2. Locks 15 and 5 crested at 14.9 and 24.7 feet (upper gage) while the reductions were 3.2 and 2.2 feet, respectively. The water stored dur- ing this flood and subsequent minor rise caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 1112.4 on the 9th or 102.4 feet above winter pool, repre- senting an impoundment of 134,600 acre-feet above minimum pool or about 48.5 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. This averted major flood damages along the Monongahela River and, in conjunction with the other reservoirs, achieved major flood benefits along the upper Ohio River Valley between Pittsburgh and Wheeling. Heavy rainfall on January 31-February 1, 1951, over the Monon- gahela River Basin, augmented by light snow melt, caused a minor flood along a reach between lock 7 and lock 2. The Monongahela River at locks 15 and 5 crested at 15.2 and 26.8 feet, while the reduc- tions were 2.2 and 1.5 feet, respectively. The Ohio River at Pitts- burgh crested at 22.9 feet, while the reduction made by this reservoir, in combination with the other reservoirs above Pittsburgh, was 2.2 feet, averting a minor flood along the Ohio River. The water stored during this rise resulted in major benefits being obtained along the Monongahela River. Moderate to heavy rainfall on June 12-13 over the Monongahela River Basin caused a minor flood along a reach between lock 5 and lock 2. Lock 5 crested at 23.6 feet while the reduc- tion was 0.8 foot. Reservoir storage averted major flood damages above lock 2. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir pool to rise to elevation 1122.4 on the 15th or 28.4 feet above summer pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impoundment of 55,600 acre-feet above summer pool or about 31 per- cent of the usable summer flood-storage capacity of the reservoir. Two other rises occurred during which suspension of navigation on the Monongahela River was averted for periods of 1 day and 1/2 day, respectively, by reservoir storage; the first occurred on January 15, 1951, and the second on June 10, 1951. During periods in August, September, and October 1950, totalling 13 days, runoff was deficient in the Monongahela Basin so that normal navigation pool stages were maintained in the Monongahela River only by the release of navigation storage. During the period July 17 to August 8, 1950, the outflow was regulated to facilitate the removal of dam 10 on the Monongahela River at Morgantown, W. Va., with a minimum of interference to navigation during the demolition. Storage during the latter half of April 1951 was manipulated within the limits of the low-water storage schedule to benefit work schedule at dam 2, Monon- gahela River, alleviating a critical condition. During the remainder of the year, routine operations were made in accordance with the storage schedule, except on the occasion of 17 minor rises when some water was stored and released as river conditions and work at Mor- gantown locks and reconstruction of locks 2 permitted. The total 1638 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 costs were $49,792.67, all for maintenance. The total expenditures were $47,915.28. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project is fully complete. 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. Construction of the dam was started in 1935 and placed in operation in 1938.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1639 3. MONONGAHELA RIVER, PA. AND W. VA. Location. This river is formed by the junction of the Tygart and West Fork Rivers about 1 mile south of Fairmont, W. Va., and flows in a northerly direction 128 miles to its junction with the Allegheny River, forming the Ohio River at Pittsburgh, Pa. (See U. S. Geo- logical Survey, charts for southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.) Previous projects. These provided for acquisition by the United States in 1897 of original locks 1 to 7, inclusive, which were built by the Monongahela Navigation Co., and the extension of slack- water navigation to the head of the river by the construction of original locks 8 to 15, inclusive, prior to 1904. The projects were adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, June 3, 1896, and June 4, 1897. For further details see page 1910 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1248, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for the improvement of the river by 12 locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation for its entire length from Pittsburgh, Pa., to above Fairmont, W. Va. Original locks and dams 7, 8, and 9 were replaced by new locks and dams 7 and 8 in 1925. Increased traffic necessitated an enlargement and im- provement of locks and dams 1 to 6 between Pittsburgh and Rices Landing, Pa., by the building of two parallel chambers and fixed concrete dams. Locks and dam 1 were eliminated in 1938 by the raising Qf the Emsworth Dam, Ohio River. Reconstruction of locks 2 provides for two modernized navigation locks, one 110 by 720 feet and one 56 by 360 feet. Original locks and dams 10 to 15, inclusive, are inadequate for the present traffic and should be replaced as soon as practicable. Con- struction of Morgantown lock and dam is the initial step in the replacement program and replaced locks and dams 10 and 11. Hilde- brand and Opekiska locks and dams will replace locks 12 to 15, in- clusive. Alterations to dam 8 will raise pool 8 by 4 feet. Completion of these improvements from dam 8 upstream will provide for the entire river length a minimum channel depth of 9 feet, varying in width from a minimum of 300 feet to practically full width at the mouth. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1951 (exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects) is $70,015,400. This amount is exclusive of an estimated $540,000 to be contributed. The current (1951) estimate of annual cost for channel maintenance is $125,000. The current (1951) estimate of annual cost for operation and care of locks and dams is $1,317,600. 1640 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

S. ARMY, 1951 Terminal facilities. The city of Pittsburgh has constructed a modern wharf for river freight. Boat landings are maintained by some municipalities along the river. A large number of tipples at mines and various types of hoists at manufacturing plants and sand and gravel supply companies are maintained for private use in loading and unloading coal, coke, billets, steel products, sand, gravel, and other commodities. These terminals and docks are not available for the purpose of general commerce. A number of docks and pipelines are also privately maintained for petroleum and acid products. Marine ways are maintained by some of the larger industries. There are also several terminals for rail-to-river and river-to-rail transfer. Existing private terminals are adequate for shipments and receipt in the Pittsburgh district of the type of commerce now in existence. The provision of river-to-rail and rail-to-river transfer terminals on an extensive scale is not important, since 98 percent of traffic using the river passes through the private terminals, which are more than adequate for the prospective commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Reconstruc- tion of Locks 2: Preliminary work was continued and involved pri- marily the completion of plans and specifications for the 110-foot lock (land chamber). Construction of the 56-foot lock (river chamber) was completed. Contract operations consisted of completing 9 middle wall and 6 river wall monoliths and construction of the upper and lower guard walls, consisting of steel sheet piling cells and concrete cap walls. The upper guard wall was extended by constguction of 6 guard cells. Approximately 11,000 cubic yards of concrete was placed in the lock walls and upper and lower guard walls. Floodway bulkhead piers and installation of bulkheads and operating machinery were com- pleted. Construction of the operation building, installation of the 56-foot lock gates, operating machinery and electrical system was also completed. A continuing contract was awarded for construction of the 110- foot lock chamber late in the year. Contract operations were of a miscellaneous nature. In connection with the construction of the 110-foot lock chamber, an agreement was executed with the United States Steel Co. relative to acquisition of land, construction of in- take and discharge facilities and costs to be borne by them for con- struction of settling basin, sewers and manholes by the Government's contractor. Morgantown Lock and Dam: Preliminary work was continued and involved miscellaneous engineering work and preparation of various contract plans and specifications. Construction of the lock and dam by contract was completed. Operations consisted of constructing cofferdam No. 3 and placing approximately 7,900 cubic yards of concrete for the dam abutment, dam, and piers. The tainter gates operating machinery as well as service bridge spans from piers 1 to 4 were installed. Paving of the esplanade and construction of the access road was completed. Con- tract operations of dredging pool 8 in the vicinity of Morgantown RIVERS AND HARBORS--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1643 were completed with about 36,000 cubic yards of material being re- moved from the channel. A contract for removal of old lock and dam No. 10 was completed and a contract awarded for removal of old lock and dam No. 11. Agreements with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad for track relocation and the city of Morgantown for sewer alterations were consummated and work was in progress. A contract was awarded and work completed for alterations to the Morgantown Ordnance Works intake facilities and sewers. Contracts were also awarded for an emergency cofferdam beam, needles, and handling equipment for installation at the upper lock gates. Dam 8: Preliminary work was initiated and involved contract core drilling operations, field surveys, and office studies for prepara- tion of a definite project report. Studies also were in progress in connection with the preparation of plans and specifications. Maintenance: A general survey from the mouth of the river to lock 15, consisting of field work and the preparation of topographic drawings was continued during the year. Reestablishing control monuments for navigation surveys and snagging operations was also continued. Surveys for dredging were made at various locations and plans prepared for dredging. A total of 15,300 cubic yards of mate- rial was removed from the channel at several locations by the U. S. derrick boat Monallo. Maintenance (operating and care) : The locks were operated as required and necessary repairs and improvements made thereto, and to operators' quarters and grounds. Emergency repairs to the dam abutment at locks 2 were initiated by contract. In addition to ordi- nary repairs to structures and plant and work performed by contract, the following work was performed by hired labor: Installation of a visual signal system was continued at locks 2 to 6, inclusive; at lock 3, repairs were made to the turbine and gate machinery and anchorages; at lock 4, repairs were made to the lock walls and at the expansion joints, and the upper gates in the river chamber and the lower gates in the land chamber were replaced; at lock 5, repairs to the roof and gutters on two dwellings were initiated and lights on the lock rewired; at lock 6, the sheet pile revetment at the upper guard wall was extended, the lower gates in the land chamber were replaced and valves, sills, and gates repaired in both lock chambers; at lock 7, timber fenders were replaced on guard cells, and repairs were made to the turbine, filling valve, and gate operating machinery; at lock 8, the boiler in the pump house was replaced; at locks 12, 13, and 14, repairs were made to the porches on the dwellings; and at locks 12 and 13, the lock chambers were unwatered and repairs made to the filling valves and other underwater parts. The total costs were $5,355,671.91 of which $4,297,270.67 was for new work, $41,287.67 for channel maintenance and $1,017,113.57 for operation and care at locks and dams. The total expenditures were $6,202,551.83. Condition at end of fiscal year. The locks and dams are in opera- tion and are complete except for reconstruction of lock 2, raising the crest of Dam 8, and the replacement of locks 12 to 15, inclusive, by construction of Hildebrand and Opekiska Locks and Dam. A controlling depth of 9 feet in the navigation channel is maintained 1644 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 from Pittsburgh to dam 8. Upon completion of improvements of dam 8, and construction of Hildebrand and Opekiska Locks and Dam, a minimum channel depth of 9 feet will exist for the entire length of the river varying in width from a minimum of 300 feet to full width at the mouth. Reconstruction of the 56-foot lock (river chamber) at locks and dam 2 was commenced by contract January 7, 1949, and was accepted as complete June 29, 1951. A contract for construction of the 110-foot lock (land chamber) was awarded May 9, 1951, but actual construction has not commenced. Construction of Morgantown Lock and Dam was started by contract September 9, 1948,' and was accepted as complete December 22, 1950. Dredging pool 8 and removal of old lock and dam 10 is complete. Removal of old lock and dam 11 is in progress. Various contracts for furnishing emergency cofferdam and hoist are in force. Relocations are either complete or under contract. Acquisition of land is essentially com- plete. In connection with the proposed improvements at dam 8, preparation of a definite project report is practically complete. In addition, plans and specifications are approximately 30 percent com- plete. The navigation channel has been maintained to controlling depth, affording adequate depth at all times for the passage of com- mercial tows. Work remaining for completion of the project, exclusive of locks 2 and Morgantown Lock and Dam; consists of the following: Raising the crest of dam 8 and construction of Hildebrand and Opekiska Locks and Dams to replace locks 12 to 15, inclusive.

PORTVILLE, OHIO RIVER BASIN, N. Y. Location. The village of Portville is located on the east bank of the Allegheny River between two tributaries, Oswayo and Lilli- bridge Creeks in the southeastern corner of Cattaraugus County in southwestern New York. Dodge Creek, another tributary, flows through the village. It is located in an essentially flat flood plain, approximately 265 miles above the mouth of the Allegheny River at Pittsburgh, Pa. (See U. S. Geological chart for Olean, N. Y.) Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of dikes and flood walls along Dodge Creek, Oswayo Creek and the Allegheny River, realinement of Lillibridge Creek, erection of appurtenant structures, and provision of internal drainage facili- ties. The project is designed to accommodate discharges slightly greater than that of the maximum flood of record. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. The current (1951) estimated Federal cost of new work is $2,119,- 000; the estimated non-Federal cost is $353,000. FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1651 Local cooperation. See page 4-5 for requirements. Formal assur- ances of local cooperation have been received from the State of New York. An agreement was consummated May 5, 1950, with the State of New York for reconstruction of the Main Street Bridge. This agreement provides for reimbursement by the government of its proportional part of the reconstruction cost. Relocation of sewers was started June 29, 1950, by the State of New York. Construction of the bridge was complete in May 1951. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preliminary work was continued during the year and involved review of the con- tractor's shop drawings for unit 2, revisions to internal drainage requirements, provisions for additional access ramps over the dikes, and review of property maps for construction rights-of-way and ponding areas. Contract operations for construction of unit 1 were completed October 24, 1950. Approximately 29,000 cubic yards of embankment fill were placed to bring the average height of the dikes to 15 feet. Seeding and cleanup operations were also performed. The State of New York accepted this unit of the project December 22, 1950, and assumed the responsibility for operation and maintenance. An in- terim operation and maintenance manual was furnished. Construction of unit 2, by contract, continued during the year. Operations consisted of excavating about 8,000 cubic yards of mate- rial from the channel, stripping operations for the embankment foundation, excavating over 380,000 cubic yards of material from borrow areas, and placing and rolling about 310,000 cubic yards of embankment material. Over 3,600 yards of riprap were also placed. In addition, a pumping station was completed and pumps installed. Drainage structures were completed, including Lillibridge culvert. Reconstruction of the Main Street Bridge by the State of New York, of which the Government bears a share of the costs, was completed. The cost, all for new work, was $1,076,310.33. The expenditures were $949,361.48. Condition at end o fiscal year. Construction of unit 1 of the flood protection works was started by contract July 23, 1949, and was com- pleted October 24, 1950.

FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1653 On December 22, 1950, the State of New .York formally accepted unit I of the project and assumed the responsibility for maintenance and operation. An interim operation manual was furnished by the Government. Contract operations for construction of unit 2, section A, were completed May 31, 1951, except for minor items of work which con- sisted essentially of obtaining a satisfactory stand of grass and in- stallation of protective fences at the pumping stations. These oper- ations involved the placing and rolling of approximately 40,000 cubic yards of embankment material, completion of Kings Brook and Johnson Brook pumping stations, and completion of drainage struc- tures, including inlet and outlet structures, drainage gates and sluice gates. In connection with unit 2, section A, an agreement with the city of Olean was consummated which provided for construction of a gate well and installation of gates and metal work as a part of the city's reconstruction of Main Street Bridge. Construction of unit 2, section B, was continued by contract. Over 150,000 cubic yards of material were excavated from borrow areas, placed and rolled for the embankment. Construction of about 700 feet of cantilever-type flood walls in lieu of earth dikes was essen- tially completed. Removal of existing sewer pipes and installation of new facilities also progressed. In connection with internal drain- age requirements, a large ponding area was excavated at Forness Field. An agreement with the Erie Railroad was consummated and work completed involving relocation of pole lines. The total costs were $1,015,904.66, all for new work.

TIONESTA RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. Location. The dam site is located on Tionesta Creek, 1.25 miles above the junction of the creek with the Allegheny River at Tionesta, Pa., and about 78 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located entirely in Forest County, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Sur- vey charts for Tionesta, Tidioute, and Sheffield, Pa.) Existing project. This provides for the construction of a flood- control reservoir dam of the earth-fill type with separate uncon- trolled saddle spillway and tunnel outlet works. The dam is 1,050 feet long at the top, rises 154 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross storage of 133,400 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 478 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 perma- nent storage. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936 and June 28, 1938. The current (1951) estimated cost of new work, is $5,300,000. The current (1951) estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the project is $61,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preliminary work was continued throughout the year and consisted of plans and specifications for public use facilities. Fabrication and installation of stop logs, boom, and hoist at the control structure was completed by contract April 4, 1951. Maintenance (operating and care). The reservoir was operated for the benefit of flood control, as required, and necessary repairs made to the dam and to the operators' quarters and grounds throughout the year. In connection with reservoir management activities, work consisted of maintaining public use areas. On November 24-25, 1950, a record breaking snowfall occurred over the Monongahela River Basin and Allegheny River Basin below Warren, Pa. An unusual storm, however, occurred over Tionesta Creek Basin at this time. Until early afternoon of the 25th the storm was in the form of heavy rainfall in the upper half of the basin pro- ducing moderate flooding at Barnes and Sheffield, Pa. In the lower half of the basin the storm occurred as sleet. During the remainder of the 25th a heavy snowfall covered the entire basin. At the end of 1656 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 the month the snow cover over the basin had 3 inches of water con- tent. A rapid thaw on December 2-3, 1950, accompanied by heavy, general rain on the 3d caused a flood along the Ohio River which crested at 28.68 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and 40.7 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. (lock 12). The reduction made by this reservoir at Pitts- burgh was 0.3 foot and in combination with the other 5 reservoirs above Pittsburgh was 3.0 feet; at Wheeling the reduction was 0.4 foot and in combination with the other 7 reservoirs above Wheeling was 4.4 feet. The Allegheny River at Franklin and locks 7 and 4 crested at 16.1, 21.1 and 21.3 feet (upper gage), while the reductions by this reservoir were 0.8, 0.4, and 0.5 foot, respectively. The reduc- tion made by this reservoir in combination with Mahoning Creek Reservoir at lock 7 was 0.8 foot and in combination with Mahoning, Crooked Creek, and Loyalhanna Reservoirs at lock 4 was 1.8 feet. Flood stages were averted from Franklin to lock 4. The outlet works were closed August 30-September 1, 1950, to make a minor repair of a spot section of concrete in the tunnel. During the remainder of the year routine operations were made except on the occasion of 18 minor rises when some water was stored and released as river con- ditions permitted. A prolonged storm late in February produced a minor rise which resulted in the reservoir reaching the highest level during the year, elevation 1128.4 on the 23d or 43.4 feet above mini- mum pool. This represents an impoundment of 40,000 acre-feet above minimum pool, or about 32 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. The total costs were $38,315.94, of which $4,412.22 was for new work and $33,903.72 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $43,145.58. 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 May 1938 and completed in January 1941. All work rela- tive to relocations and acquisition of land is complete. The total acre involved has been acquired and consists of 3,040 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 349 acres. A master land use plan is complete.

This provides for the construction of a reservoir dam of the rolled earth-fill type with gate-controlled concrete tunnel under right abutment and a paved uncontrolled spillway on the left abutment slope. The dam, 1,660 feet long at the top and rising 184 1658 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 feet above the stream bed, will provide for the gross controlled storage of 84,300 acre-feet, from a tributary drainage area of 71 square miles. Of the total storage, 83,300 acre-feet will be available for flood control and low-water regulation purposes, in the Clarion River Valley below. The remaining 1,000 acre-feet will be in perma- nent storage. The reservoir will be operated as a unit of a coordi- nated reservoir system 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 Acts approved June 28, 1938, and December 22, 1944. The current (1951) estimated cost of new work is $9,612,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preliminary work was continued during the year by hired labor and consisted of miscella- neous engineering work and preliminary design on the dam tenders' dwellings and public sanitary building. Acquisition of land pro- ceeded on schedule. Contract operations for the construction of the outlet works were completed during the year and involved completion of the operations building and cleanup operations. A contract for furnishing and in- stalling hoisting machinery, bulkheads, and trash racks in the outlet works was completed. The purchase of radio equipment and installa- tion in the control tower was also completed. Construction of the embankment and spillway by contract was continued. Operations consisted of placing and rolling approximately 1,638,000 cubic yards of impervious and random fill in the embank- ment and excavating 355,000 cubic yards of rock from the spillway and access road. This rock was utilized for foundation drains and upstream slope protection. Paving of the spillway was initiated and involved placement of about 11,000 cubic yards of concrete. Con- siderable progress was made on construction of the access road. The total costs were $2,735,182.15, all for new work. The total expenditures were $2,493,468.78. Condition at end of fiscal year. The open-cut excavation for the outlet works was started in June 1947 and was completed in May 1948.

The plan of improvement consists principally of deepening, widening, and straightening the creek channel for a distance of approximately 18,838 feet, and complementing this with approximately 10,352 feet of rolled fill dikes, 2,627 feet of walls, 700 feet of pressure conduit for Barrett Run, and internal drainage facilities including a pumping station and flush house. The project is designed to accommodate discharges 20 percent greater than that of the maximum flood of record. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The current (1951) Federal cost of new work is $3,600,000; the estimated non-Federal cost is $229,100. The current (1951) estimate of annual Federal cost for maintenance is $8,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preliminary work was continued during the year and involved preparation of final revisions to plans. A protective fence was installed by contract at the pumping station as well as the installation of a power line by hired labor. In addition, miscellaneous utility relocations were com- pleted by hired labor. Acquisition of land and related work was continued. On July 31, 1950, the project was formally transferred to the Borough of Punxsutawney for operation and maintenance with the exception of the channel maintenance which remains the FLOOD CONTROL---PITTSBURBGH, PA., DISTRICT 1661 responsibility of the Federal Government. Operation and mainte- nance manuals were furnished the Borough. Maintenance: The channel was maintained in a satisfactory con- dition throughout the year. The total costs, all Federal, were $35,660.72, of which $33,689.56 was for new work and $1,971.16 for maintenance. The total expen- ditures, all Federal, were $42,042.18. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project is complete except for completing the acquisition of land. Construction was accomplished by units consisting of units 1, 2, 2A, and 2B. Construction of unit 1, involving 10,200 linear feet of improvement was started in May 1946 and was completed in May 1947. Unit 2 (initial work), consisting of relocation of sewers and construction of the Barrett Run conduit, was started in December 1947 and was completed in August 1948. Unit 2A, involving 4,440 linear feet of improvement was started in April 1948 and was completed in April 1949. Unit 2B, involving 4,225 linear feet of improvement, was started in February 1949 and was completed in June 1950. Relocations are complete. Acquisition of land is approximately 93 percent complete for units 1 and 2. The total acreage involved in unit 1 consists of perpetual easements over 49.7 acres and temporary easements over 18.9 acres. The total acreage involved in unit 2 consists of perpetual easements over 47.8 acres and temporary easements over 1.9 acres. On July 31, 1950, the Borough of Punxsutawney formally accepted the completed project and assumed the responsibility for maintenance and operation. Work remaining to be done consists of completing acquisition of land and related work. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $3,741,471.71, of which $3,739,500.55 was for new work and $1,971.16 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $3,739,199.92.

MAHONING CREEK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. Location. The dam site is located on Mahoning Creek in Arm- strong County, Pa., 21.6 miles above the junction of the creek with the Allegheny River. It is about 61/2 miles southeast of New Beth- lehem, Pa., and about 51 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located in Armstrong, Indiana, and Jefferson Counties, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Rural Valley and Smicksburg, Pa.) Existing project. This provides for the construction of a flood- control reservoir dam of the concrete gravity type with a gate-con- trolled center spillway flanked by abutment sections joining the valley sides. The dam is 926 feet long at the top, rises 187 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 339 square miles. Of this storage 69,700 acre-feet are available for flood prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The remaining 4,500 acre-feet are in permanent storage. Two pen stocks are contained in the structure for possible future generation of hydroelectric power, The reservoir is operated as a unit of a coordi-. nated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the FLOOD CONTROL-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1663 upper Ohio Valley, generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Acts approved June 22, 1936, and June 28, 1938. The cost of new work, completed in 1951, is $6,421,344.78. The current (1951) estimate of annual cost for maintenance and opera- tion of the project is $47,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preliminary work was completed and consisted of final revisions to plans. Work relative to land acquisition was also completed. These operations completed all work on the project. Maintenance (operating and care) : The reservoir was operated for the benefit of flood control, as required, and necessary repairs were made to the dam and to operators' quarters and grounds throughout the fiscal year. In connection with reservoir-management activities, work consisted of maintaining public use area. On November 24-25, 1950, a record-breaking snowfall occurred over the Monongahela River Basin and Allegheny River Basin be- low Warren, Pa. At the end of the month, the snow cover over Mahoning Creek Basin had 3 inches of water content. A rapid thaw on December 2-3, 1950, accompanied by a heavy, general rain on the 3d caused a flood along the Ohio River which crested at 28.68 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and 40.7 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. (lock 12). The reduction made by this reservoir was 0.3 foot and, in combina- tion with the other 5 reservoirs above Pittsburgh, was 3.0 feet; at Wheeling, the reduction was 0.4 foot and, in combination with the other 7 reservoirs above Wheeling, was 4.4 feet. The Allegheny River at locks 7 and 4 crested at 21.1 and 21.3 feet (upper gage) while the reductions made by this reservoir were 0.4 and 0.5 foot, respectively. The reduction made by this reservoir, in combination with Tionesta Reservoir at lock 7 was 0.8 foot; and, in combination with Tionesta, Crooked Creek, and Loyalhanna Reservoirs at lock 4, was 1.8 feet. Flood stages were averted from lock 7 to lock 4. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir to rise to eleva- tion 1131.0 on the 6th or 56.0 feet above minimum pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impoundment of 22,800 acre-feet above minimum pool, or about 33 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. A storm on January 31-February 1, 1951, occurred as heavy, general rain over the Monongahela River Basin and southern half of the Allegheny River Basin, but fell as snow over the northern half of the Allegheny River Basin. This produced only a minor rise in the lower Allegheny River. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh crested at 22.9 feet. The reduction made by this reservoir, in combination with the other reservoirs above Pittsburgh was 2.2 feet; Tionesta Reservoir having no effect. The reduction averted minor damages. During the remainder of the year, routine operations were made except on the occasion of 16 minor rises when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. The total costs were $21,726.34, of which $629.22 was for new work and $21,097.12 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $24,- 602.84. 1664 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Condition at end of fiscal year. The dam and appurtenances are 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.

The reser- voir is located entirely in Armstrong County, Pa. (See U. S. Geo- logical 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 277 square miles. Of this storage 89,400 acre-feet are available for flood prevention at Pittsburgh and in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The remaining 4,500 acre-feet are in perma- nent 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 Acts approved June 22, 1936, and June 28, 1938. The cost of new work, completed in 1951, is $4,204,888.05. The current (1951) estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the project is $61,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preliminary work was completed and consisted of final revisions to plans. An agreement was consummated January 25, 1951, with the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania whereby the Commonwealth assumed ad- ministration of the public use areas. Contract operations were com- pleted for paving of parking areas and fabrication and installation of bulkheads and hoisting rig at the control structure. These opera- tions completed all work on the project.

JOHNSTOWN, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. Location. The city of Johnstown is located in southwestern Cam- bria County, Pa., approximately 58 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pa. It is situated in a deep and comparatively narrow valley at the junc- tion 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 increas- ing the channel capacity by enlarging and realining the existing channels and protecting the banks with concrete pavement. Miscel- laneous features of work include relocation of railroad tracks, high- way 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 Pennsylvania Railroad bridge in the vicinity of Fifth Street; and Stony Creek for a distance of 20,700 feet from the "Point" upstream to about 500 feet above the Ferndale Bridge in the vicinity of the borough of Ferndale. The project is designed to accommodate discharges equivalent to those of the March 1936 flood, the maximum natural flow of record, with a minimum of overbank flow and to practically eliminate damages therefrom. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Acts, approved June 22, 1936, and August 28, 1937. The Federal cost of new work, completed in 1950, is $8,865,388.13. The current (1951), estimate of annual cost for channel mainte- nance, is $14,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies.

The dam site is located on the Conemaugh River in Indiana and Westmoreland Counties, Pa., 7.5 miles above the junc- tion of Conemaugh River and Loyalhanna Creek, which form the head of Kiskiminitas River. It is about 2 miles northeast of Tunnel- ton, Pa., and about 42 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located in Westmoreland and Indiana Counties, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Latrobe, New Florence, and Elders Ridge, 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 terminating in the right abut- ment. The dam, 1,290 feet long at the top and rising 137 feet above the stream bed, will provide for the gross controlled storage of 274,000 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 1,351 square miles. Of this storage, 270,000 acre-feet will be available for flood-control purposes. The remaining 4,000 acre-feet will be in permanent storage. The reservoir will be operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The existing project was author- ized by the Flood Control Acts approved June 22, 1936, and June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1951, is $49,000,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preliminary work was continued during the year and consisted of preparing plans and specifications for dam appurtenances such as gantry cranes and crest gates. Relocation of the Conemaugh Division of the Pennsylvania Rail- road was completed. Contracts for miscellaneous grading and drain- age work on the Conemaugh Division, Pennsylvania Railroad, and removal of old track, bridge superstructures and communication line poles from the relocated Conemaugh Division, Pennsylvania Rail- road, were completed. Highway and utility relocations made neces- sary by the railroad relocation were continued by the owning agen- cies. The Pennsylvania Railroad continued operations being performed under agreement which involved construction of new facilities. Construction of the dam was continued by contract. The second and third stage cofferdams were completed. Removal, of the first cofferdam was completed and removal of the second essentially com- pleted. Approximately 100,000 cubic yards of material were exca- vated from the dam foundation and approximately 168,000 cubic yards of concrete placed in monoliths 4 through 26. Five monoliths were topped out at the crest and 2 piers started. The stilling basin and training walls were completed and closure of the old abandoned railroad tunnel by a concrete plug was completed. In connection with relocations in the reservoir area, an agreement with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for relocation of highways 1670 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 was continued. The Commonwealth awarded three contracts for construction of highways, with one remaining to be awarded. Nego- tiations with the owning agencies were continued relative to reloca- tion of utilities affected by construction of the reservoir. Land acqui- sition continued and was correlated with the progress made on the dam. The total costs were $8,255,348.35, all for new work. The total expenditures were $7,638,075.59. Condition at end of fiscal year. The relocation of the Conemaugh Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad was started under contract in April 1946 and was accepted by the railroad September 19, 1950. Miscellaneous grading and drainage work on the Conemaugh Divi- sion was completed in September 1950. Removal of old track, bridge superstructures, and communication line poles from the relocated main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad was started November 1, 1950, and was completed May 29, 1951. Work remaining for completion of the railroad relocation consists of completing relocation of the Indiana Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad and completion of highway relocations affected by the rail- road relocation. Construction of the dam was initiated by contract April 25, 1949, and is approximately 76 percent complete. All cofferdams have been completed and concrete placed in monoliths 4 through 26. Five monoliths have been topped out at the crest and 2 piers started. Concrete placement in the stilling basin and training walls has been completed. Excavation for the monoliths in the abutments is essen- tially complete. Various contracts for furnishing sluice gates, con- duit liners, bulkheads, deflector plates, and sluice armor have been completed. Relocation of various highways and utilities in the reservoir area are underway and are under agreement with owning agencies. Acqui- sition of land and related work is under way and is approximately 95 percent complete for the railroad relocation and 40 percent com- plete for the dam. The total acreage involved for the railroad relo- cation is 1,335.845 acres and consists of 1,216.329 acres in fee simple and easements over 119.516 acres. The total tracts involved are 140 of which 135 have been acquired to date. The total acreage involved for the dam and reservoir is 7,085 acres and consists of 7,080 acres in fee simple and easements over 5.0 acres. The total tracts involved are 1022, of which 386 have been acquired to date. Work remaining for completion of the project, exclusive of the railroad relocation noted above, consists of the following: prelimi- nary work, acquisition of land and related work, relocation of high- ways and utilities in the reservoir area by agreement with owning agencies, construction of the dam and grouting operations by con- tract, clearing the reservoir area by contract, fabrication and erection of crest gates and gantry cranes by contract, and construction of appurtenant items such as the water supply system, damtenders' dwellings, public sanitary building, etc., by contract. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all for new work, were $32,295,425.01, of which $32,290,073.57 was from regular funds and $5,351.44 from Emergency Relief funds.

LOYALHANNA RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. Location. The dam site is located on Loyalhanna Creek, 4.5 miles above the junction of the creek with the Conemaugh River at Salts- burg, Pa., and about 29 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located entirely in Westmoreland County, Pa. (See U. S. Geologi- cal Survey chart for Latrobe, Pa.) Existing project. This provides for the construction of a flood- control reservoir dam of the concrete gravity type with a gate con- trolled center spillway flanked by abutment sections joining the valley sides, and an earth embankment section terminating in the left abutment. The dam is 960 feet long at the top, rises 131 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross controlled storage of 95,300 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 290 square 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 pen- stock is contained in the structure for possible future generation of hydroelectric power. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a coordi- nated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Acts approved June 22, 1936 and June 28, 1938. The cost of new work, completed in 1951, is $5,452,862.11. The current (1951) estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the project is $46,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations'andresults during fiscal year. New work : Preliminary work was completed and involved final revisions to plans. These operations completed all work on the project. Maintenance (operating and care) : The reservoir was operated for the benefit of flood control, as required, and necessary repairs were made to the dam and to operators' quarters and grounds, throughout the year. Repairs to the emergency sluice gates by hired labor were completed. In connection with reservoir management activities, work consisted of maintaining public use areas. On November 24-25, 1950, a record breaking snowfall occurred over the Monongahela River Basin and Allegheny River Basin be- low Warren, Pa. At the end of the month the snow cover over Loyalhanna Creek Basin had 21/2 inches of water content. A rapid thaw on December 2-3, 1950, accompanied by heavy, general rain on the 3d caused a flood along the Ohio River which crested at 28.68 FLOOD CONTROL-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1675 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and 40.7 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. (lock 12). The reduction made by this reservoir was 0.4 foot and in combination with the other 5 reservoirs above Pittsburgh was 3.0 feet; at Wheel- ing the reduction was 0.5 foot and in combination with the other 7 reservoirs above Wheeling was 4.4 feet. The Allegheny River at lock 4 crested at 21.3 feet (upper gage) while the reduction by this reservoir was 0.4 foot, and in combination with T ionesta, Mahoning, and Crooked Creek Reservoirs was 1.8 feet. Flood stage and moder- ate damages were averted at lock 4. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 945.4 on the 6th, or 35.4 feet above minimum pool representing an impoundment of 25,900 acre-feet above minimum pool or about 28 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. A storm on January 31-February 1, 1951 occurred as heavy, general rain over the Monongahela River Basin and southern half of the Allegheny River Basin. This pro- duced only a minor rise in the lower Allegheny River. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh crested at 22.9 feet. The reduction made by this reservoir in combination with the other reservoirs above Pittsburgh was 2.2 feet, Tionesta Reservoir having no effect. The reduction averted minor damages. Heavy rainfall during the second week in June produced a series of minor rises and caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 945.8 on the 15th or 35.8 feet above minimum pool. This level, the highest reached during' the year, represents an im- poundment of 26,600 acre-feet above minimum pool, or about 28.5 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. In May 1950 the work was begun of reinstalling the emergency slide gates which had been clad with stainless steel. By the end of fiscal year 1950, the first of four emergency gates had been reinstalled. During the fiscal year 1951 the remaining three emergency gates were installed. To permit the accomplishment of the necessary work the reservoir was drawn down and maintained approximately 10 feet below minimum pool during each installation period. The second gate was installed during the period November 9-19, 1950; the third gate during Janu- ary 19-24, 1951, and the fourth gate during March 12-19, 1951. During the remainder of the year routine operations were made except on the occasion of 18 minor rises when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. The total costs were $41,768.08, of which $88.82 was for new work and $41,679.26 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $45,- 312.57. Conditions 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 rela- tive to relocations and the acquisition of land is complete. The total acreage has been acquired and consists of 3,415.12 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 79.84 acres. A master land use plan is complete. 1676 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

ELKINS, OHIO RIVER BASIN, W. VA. Location. The city of Elkins is located on the Tygart River in north central Randolph County, W. Va., approximately 155 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa. It is situated at the downstream end of a long, broad reach of the upper Tygart Valley, approximately 75 miles above the mouth of the river. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for Elkins, W. Va.) FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1677 Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for diverting flood discharges from the upstream arm of the loop of the natural river channel into an artificial cut-off channel, thereby by-passing the city of Elkins. The improvement consists of a fully impervious rolled-earth upstream diversion dike, approximately 1,250 feet long; a diversion or cut-off channel, approximately 1,600 feet long, 140 feet wide and 15 feet deep; a downstream protection dike, approxi- mately 2,500 feet long; controlled inlet and outlet conduits through the dikes; a pondage basin within the protected area to store storm run-off during diversion periods; and an incidental pondage basin upstream from the diversion dike to aid low-water flow. The struc- tures of the project will be adequate to provide complete protection 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 1951, is $1,768,- 000; the estimated non-Federal cost is $40,000. The current 1951 estimate of annual Federal cost for channel maintenance is $4,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Topographic surveys and preparation of maps for a real estate planning report were completed. Negotiations and settlement for damages in the upper reach of the Tygart River above the diversion dam were in progress.

S. ARMVY, 1951 25. YOUGHIOGHENY RIVER RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. Location. The dam site is located on the Youghiogheny River about 74.2 miles above its junction with the Monongahela River at McKeesport, Pa. It is 1.2 miles upstream from Confluence, Pa., and about 57 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located in Fayette and Somerset Counties, Pa., and Garret County, Md. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Confluence, Pa., Accident, Md., West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.) Existing project. This provides for the construction of a reservoir dam of the rolled-fill type with separate uncontrolled side channel spillway and tunnel outlet works. The dam is 1,610 feet long at the top, rises 184 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross storage of 254,000 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 434 square miles. Of this storage 5,200 acre-feet are in permanent storage and the remaining 248,800 acre-feet are available for flood- control, navigation aid, and pollution-abatement purposes. The reser- voir is operated as required for flood-prevention purposes as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The current (1951) estimated cost of new work is $9,675,000. The current (1951) estimate of annual cost for maintenance and opera- tion of the project is $63,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preliminary work consisting of miscellaneous engineering work was performed. A water stage recorder was purchased and installation made by hired labor. A license was issued to the Commonwealth of Pennsyl- vania covering management and administration of fish life and fish- ing in the Pennsylvania portion of the reservoir. These operations completed all work on the project. Maintenance (operating and care) : The reservoir was operated for the benefit of flood control and low water regulation as required, and necessary repairs made to the dam and grounds throughout the year. In connection with reservoir management activities, construc- tion of a parking area at the Somerfield recreation area was started September 18, 1950, and was essentially completed during the year. On November 24-25, 1950, a record breaking snowfall occurred over the Monongahela River Basin and Allegheny River Basin be- low Warren, Pa. At the end of the month the snow cover over the basin above Youghiogheny River Reservoir Dam had 11/2 inches of water content. A rapid thaw on December 2-3, 1950, accompanied by heavy, general rain on the 3d caused a flood along the Ohio River which crested at 28.68 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and 40.7 feet at Wheel- ing, W. Va. (lock 12). The reduction made by this reservoir at Pittsburgh was 0.4 foot and in combination with the other 5 reser- voirs above Pittsburgh was 3.0 feet; at Wheeling the reduction was 0.6 foot and in combination with the other 7 reservoirs above Wheel- ing was 4.4 feet. Along the Monongahela River a minor flood oc- FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1681 curred at and above Lock 2 which crested at 25.1 feet (upper gage). Storage during this flood in conjunction with Tygart Reservoir storage averted major flood damages at lock 2 and in conjunction with the other reservoirs achieved major flood benefits along the upper Ohio River Valley between Pittsburgh and Wheeling. Heavy rainfall on January 31-February 1, 1951, over the Monon- gahela River Basin augmented by light snow melt caused a minor flood at and above lock 2 which crested at 25.3 feet. The Ohio River at Pittsburgh crested at 22.9 feet while the reduction made by this reservoir in combination with the other reservoirs above Pittsburgh was 2.2 feet, averting a minor flood. Storage during this flood in conjunction with Tygart Reservoir storage averted major flood damages at lock 2. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 1430.9 on February 3, 1951 or 11.9 feet above winter pool and represents an impoundment of 29,200 acre- feet above that pool, or about 19.5 percent of the usable winter flood capacity of the reservoir. Moderate to heavy rainfall on June 12-13, 1951, over the Monongahela River Basin caused a minor flood at and above lock 2 which crested at 24.5 feet. Storage during this flood in conjunction with Tygart River Reservoir storage averted major flood damages at lock 2. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 1,449.1 on the 15th, or 10.1 feet above summer pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impoundment of 30,000 acre-feet above summer pool, or about 30 percent of the usable summer flood storage capacity of the reservoir. The operations during the latter half of April were made to benefit work schedule at Dam 2, Monongahela River, allevi- ating a critical condition. During the remainder of the year routine operations were made in accordance with the storage schedule, ex- cept on the occasion of 9 minor rises when some water was stored and released as river conditions and work at reconstruction of lock 2 permitted. The total costs were $51,625.16, of which $5,783.67 was for new work and $45,841.49 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $51,896.93. Condition at end of fiscal year. The dam is complete and the reservoir is in operation for flood control, navigation, and pollution abatement purposes. For flood prevention, the reservoir is operated as a unit in the reservoir system designed for the protection of Pitts- burgh and the reduction of flood heights in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. Construction of the dam was started in June 1940 and completed in May 1944. All work relative to relocations and acqui- sition of land is complete. The total acreage involved has been ac- quired, and consists of 4,033.19 acres in fee simple and flowage ease- ments over 0.48 acre. A master land use plan is complete. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all from regular funds, were $9,904,875.17, of which $9,672,169.16 was for new work and $232,706.01 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $9,899,- 893.35. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended and accounts re- ceivable on June 30, 1951, plus an allotment of $49,500 for mainte- nance during fiscal year 1952, will be applied as follows: 1682 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

BERLIN RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location. The dam site is located on the Mahoning River about 73 miles above its confluence with the Shenango River. It is about 10 miles above the existing Milton Reservoir Dam and 35 miles up- stream from Warren, Ohio. The reservoir is located in Portage, Mahoning, and Stark Counties, Ohio. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Warren, Ravenna, and Alliance, Ohio.) Existing project. This provides for the construction of a reservoir dam with a partially controlled, concrete, gravity center spillway flanked by rolled-fill abutment sections joining the valley sides. The dam is 5,750 feet long at the top, rises 101.5 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 249 square miles. Of this FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1683 storage, 1,800 acre-feet are in permanent storage and the remaining 89,400 acre-feet are available for flood control and water supply purposes in the industrialized Mahoning Valley below. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The current (1951), estimated cost of new work is $6,381,000. The current (1951) estimate of annmial cost for maintenance and opera- tion of the project is $60,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preliminary work was in progress and involved miscellaneous engineering and final revision of plans. Drilling of a water well, paving of parking areas and approach roads, and construction of the damtenders' dwell- ings and appurtenant work by contract were completed. Landscap- ing operations and installation of a water stage recorder were com- pleted by hired labor. Negotiations were completed relative to two remaining utility relocations. A contract with the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District was consummated relative to leasing of land and supplying of water. Land acquisition and related work was completed except for one remaining condemnation case. Maintenance (operating and care) : The reservoir was operated effectively for flood control and for low-water regulation as required, and necessary repairs made to operators' quarters and grounds. In connection with reservoir management activities, public use facilities were maintained. On November 24-25, 1950, a record breaking snowfall occurred over the Pittsburgh District. At the end of the month the snow cover over Mahoning River Basin above Berlin Reservoir Dam had 2 inches of water content. A moderate rain on December 3 accompanying a rapid, heavy thaw on 2d-3d caused a rise in the Mahoning River which crested at Youngstown at 9.4 feet. The reduction made by this reservoir was 2.5 feet and in combination with Mosquito Creek Reservoir was 3.6 feet, averting a moderate flood. These reservoirs also averted flood stage being exceeded along the Beaver River at Wampum, Pa. Flood conditions existed along the Ohio River valley with Wheeling, W. Va. (lock 12) cresting at 40.7 feet. The reduction made by this reservoir was 0.2 foot and in combination with the other 7 reservoirs above Wheeling was 4.4 feet. On four occasions during January-March nuisance flooding was averted along the upper Mahoning River at and above Warren, Ohio, by low water storage replenishment and flood storage impoundment in the reser- voir. The first minor rise of the Mahoning River was caused by a heavy rainfall on January 3, 1951, augmented by snow melt; the second by light rain on February 12-13 accompanying a rapid, heavy thaw; the third by heavy rain on February 20-21; the fourth by heavy rain on March 3. The water stored during the third minor rise of the Mahoning River caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 1023.0 on the 23rd or 6.4 feet above winter pool. This level, the high- est reached during the winter flood season, represents an impound- ment of 17,100 acre-feet above winter pool, or about 30.5 percent of 1684 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 the usable winter flood storage capacity of the reservoir. A series of minor rises occurred during May 10-12, resulting from heavy rain on the 10th-11th, and caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 1025.8 on the 15th or 1.1 feet above the summer low water regulation pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an im- poundment of 4,100 acre-feet above the summer pool or about 12.5 percent of the usable summer flood control capacity of the reservoir. Routine operations were made the remainder of the year in accord- ance with the low water schedule for maintaining satisfactory flows at Leavittsburg, and Youngstown except on the occasion of 11 minor rises when some water was stored, with excess above normal scheduled storage being released in coordination with Milton Reservoir dis- charge as river conditions permitted. The total costs were $56,125.33, of which $22,873.67 was for new work and $33,251.66 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $66,473.79. Condition at end of fiscal year. The dam is complete and the reser- voir is in operation for flood control and low-water regulation pur- poses in the industrialized Mahoning Valley below. Construction of the dam was started in January 1942 and completed in June 1943. All work relative to relocations is complete except for making final payment to owning agencies for two utility relocations. Acquisition of land and related work is complete except for disposition of one remaining condemnation case. The total acreage involved has been acquired and consists of 6,935.10 acres in fee simple and flowage ease- ments over 1,054.76 acres. The damtenders' dwellings are complete. Also, contract operations for drilling a water well and paving park- ing area and approach roads are complete. Work remaining to be done consists of settlement of land acquisition; construction of a public sanitary building and appurtenant work; and completion of a land use plan. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all from regular funds, were $6,407,544.97, of which $6,181,843.88 was for new work and $225,701.09 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $6,403,- 487.45. Proposed operations.

MOSQUITO CREEK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location. The dam site is located on Mosquito Creek, 9 miles above the junction of the creek with the Mahoning River at Niles, Ohio, and about 18 miles upstream from Youngstown, Ohio. The reservoir is located in central Trumbull County, northeastern Ohio. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Bristolville, Ohio, and Kins- man, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.) Existing project. This provides for the construction of a reservoir dam of the rolled earth-fill type with outlet facilities through the dam, and an uncontrolled natural wasteway to discharge overflow from the reservoir. The wasteway is located at the upper end of the reservoir area on the low-lying reach of the Mosquito Creek-Grand River Divide and overflow will be discharged into the Grand River, a tributary of Lake Erie. The dam is 5,650 feet long at the top, rises 47 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross con- trolled storage of 104,100 acre-feet of water from a tributary drain- age area of 97 square miles. Of this storage, 96,100 acre-feet are available for low-water regulation and flood-control purposes in 1686 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Mahoning and Beaver Valleys below. A modicum of effect applies to the upper Ohio River Valley, below the mouth of the Beaver River. Of the remaining 8,000 acre-feet, 6,000 acre-feet are available for water supply storage and 2,000 acre-feet are in permanent stor- age. 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 Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1951, is $4,035,400. The current 1951 estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the project is $39,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preliminary work involving final revisions to plans and preparation of a master land use plan was performed. Negotiations were completed with the officials of the City of Warren, Ohio, in regard to leasing Govern- ment-owned land near the dam for a pumping station site. Land acquisition and related work was completed. Negotiations with the village of Cortland relative to sewer alterations were concluded. Construction of a public sanitary building and paving parking areas and approach roads were completed by contract September 27 and October 8, 1950, respectively. Maintenance (operating and care) : The reservoir was operated effectively for flood control and low-water regulation, as required. Necessary repairs were made to operators' quarters and grounds. In connection with reservoir management activities, public use facilities were maintained. On November 24-25, 1950, a record breaking snowfall occurred over the Pittsburgh District. At the end of the month the snow cover over Mosquito Creek basin had 21/2 inches of water content. A mod- erate rain on December 3, 1950 accompanying a rapid, heavy thaw on 2d-3d caused a rise in the Mahoning River which crested at Youngstown at 9.4 feet. The reduction made by this reservoir was 1.1 feet and in combination with Berlin Reservoir was 3.6 feet, avert- ing a moderate flood. These reservoirs also averted flood stage being exceeded along the Beaver River at Wampum, Pa. Flood conditions existed along the Ohio River valley with Wheeling, W. Va. (lock 12) cresting at 40.7 feet. The reduction made by this reservoir was 0.1 foot and in combination with the other 7 reservoirs above Wheeling was 4.4 feet. The late autumn-winter-spring season was characterized by an abundance of precipitation which materialized into a high volume of runoff rapidly replenishing the low water storage requirements and requiring the utilization of the capacity of the reservoir for flood storage. On March 12, 1951, a field investigation was made of the channel capacity below the dam. The study indicated that the out- flow is limited to approximately 700 second-feet without causing damage. Routine operations were made during the remainder of the year in accordance with the low water schedule for maintaining satisfactory flows at Youngstown, except on the occasion of 15 minor rises when some water was stored and the excess above the low water FLOOD CONTROL-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1687 storage schedule was passed as creek conditions permitted. A minor rise occurred during May, resulting from heavy rain on 10th-llth, and caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 901.7 on the 14th or 0.3 foot above the summer low water regulation pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impoundment of 2,350 acre-feet above summer pool, or about 11 percent of the usable sum- mer flood control capacity of the reservoir. The total costs were $71,207.27, of which $49,620.20 was for new work and $21,587.07 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $76,693.09. 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. Construction of the dam was started in July 1943 and was ready for beneficial use in January 1944. All work relative to acquisition of land and reloca- tions are complete. The total acreage involved in the acquisition of land consists of 11,213.98 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 275.21 acres. Construction of the damtenders' dwellings and appurtenant work, public sanitary building, parking areas, and ap- proach roads are all complete. The master land use plan is being developed in conjunction with the State of Ohio, and is essentially complete. The State of Ohio has obtained a license from the Secre- tary of the Army for development of recreation sites in the reservoir area, but only minor development has progressed. Work remaining to be done consists of completing a master land use plan and mis- cellaneous preliminary work. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all from regular funds were $4,161,811.86, of which $4,027,852.10 was for new work and $133,959.76 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $4,159,- 537.52. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended and accounts re- ceivable on June 30, 1951, plus an allotment of $24,000 for mainte- nance during fiscal year 1952, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1951_______________________ $2,281.95 New work : Complete engineering and design, including reim- bursement to US Weather Bureau (July 1, 1951- June 30, 1952) ------------------------------- $6,832.90 Construction of public sanitary building by contract (costs outstanding) ________ _____ _ 345.00 Paving parking area and approach roads by con- tract (costs outstanding) _-_ _______ 370.00 Total for new fr nw work_ Totl _______ ___ wrk-------------------------------- $7,547.90 _ $754.9 Maintenance (operating and care): Operation ----------------------------------- $24,300.00 Ordinary maintenance and repairs _______________ 7,300.00 Improvement and reconstruction_____________ _ 3,540.24 Total for maintenance (operating and care) ___ ______ 35,140.24 Total for all work ___________ 44,970.09 The above expenditures for new work will complete construction of the project. 1688 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

W-IEELING-BENWOOD, OHIO RIVER BASIN, W. VA. Location. The city of Wheeling is located along the left bank of the Ohio River in Ohio County, W. Va., approximately 58 miles southwest of Pittsburgh, Pa. It extends from mile 85.5 to mile 93.0 below the head of the river at Pittsburgh, Pa., and. includes areas lying north and south of Wheeling Creek for a total distance of 9 miles. Benwood is located in Marshall County, W. Va., on the left bank of the Ohio River immediately downstream from Wheeling and extends from mile 93.0 to mile 95.7. (See U. S. Geological Survey Chart for Wheeling, W. Va., Ohio and Pa.) Existing project. The general plan of improvement consists of a dike along the left bank of the Ohio River, extending from Eleventh Street, Wheeling, to the lower limits of Benwood. Included is a conduit extending upstream from the mouth of Wheeling Creek for a distance of about 350 feet with closure dikes over the top of the conduit at each end tying into the main dike at the lower end and into flood walls at the upper end. In addition, flood walls would extend up both banks of Wheeling Creek to high ground for pro- tection of the areas along the lower reach of Wheeling Creek, in- cluding the Wheeling business district. Extensive internal drainage facilities, railroad relocations and utility alterations would be re- quired. The project is designed to provide protection against a design flood which is approximately equivalent to the natural profile of the record March 1936 flood. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated Federal cost of new work, revised in 1951, is $15,- 580,000; the estimated non-Federal cost is $6,566,500. FLOOD CONTROL-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1689 Local cooperation.

The local protec- tion project for Wilcox, Pa., has been deferred due to the inability of local interests to furnish assurances of local cooperation prescribed by law. In accordance with section 3 of the Act of Congress, ap- proved December 22, 1944 (Public Law 534, 78th Cong.), local inter- ests were formally notified of the required conditions of local coopera- tion and of the 5-year period within which assurances must be furnished. Accordingly, the commissioners of Elk County and super- visors of Jones Township were notified March 6, 1950, in regard to the project for Wilcox, Pa. Acknowledgment was made by the commissioners of Elk County March 10, 1950. In connection with the local protection project for Buckhannon, W. Va., the 5-year period within which assurances of local coopera- tion must be furnished, expired February 20, 1951, therefore the project is no longer authorized. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations during the year consisted of surveys, investigations, studies, preparation of de- tailed plans and preparation of construction plans and specifications for the development of the general comprehensive plan for flood con- trol in the Ohio River Basin. The costs during the year were $86,256.93. The expenditures were $84,762.69. Condition at end of fiscal year. The preparation of project plans and construction plans and specifications was well advanced. The status of projects selected for construction under this authorization is given in individual reports. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $924,798.76 of which $908,072.81 was from regular funds and $16,725.95 from Emer- gency Relief funds. The total expenditures were $920,038.59, of which $903,312.64 was from regular funds and $16,725.95 from Emergency Relief funds. FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1693 Proposed operations.

INSPECTION OF LOCAL PROTECTION PROJECTS The Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, and subsequent acts require local interests to furnish assurances that they will main- tain and operate certain local protection projects after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. District engineers are responsible for the administration of these regulations within the boundaries of their respective districts. Maintenance inspections are made of completed units of projects transferred to local interests for maintenance and operation, and local interests advised, as necessary, of measures required to main- tain these projects in accordance with standards prescribed by the regulations. The current (1951) estimate of the annual cost of this work in the Pittsburgh District is $1,500. No costs were incurred during the fiscal year. The balance unexpended on June 30, 1951, amounting to $900, will be applied to maintenance inspections of completed units of local protection projects. The additional sum of $900 is needed to be appropriated during the fiscal year 1953 for maintenance inspections of completed units of local protection projects.

The harbor is situated on the north shore of Lake Supe- rior, 106 miles northeasterly from Duluth, Minn. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 9.) Existing project. This provides for rock-filled timber crib break- water piers 350 feet in length from the east and west points of the bay to narrow the entrance; for constructing concrete sea walls across the ledge at the southeast corner of the harbor; for dredging an anchorage area of 36.5 acres to a depth of 16 feet with depths near the entrance of 18 and 20 feet, and for a small boat basin 100 feet wide, 600 feet long, and 8 feet deep in the northwestern part of the harbor protected by a breakwater 600 feet long with a rubble mound shore connection. All depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary seasonal variation of water level extends from 0 to +1 1699 1700 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 foot above low-water datum. The harbor is subject to extreme fluc- tuations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric conditions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951, was $369,000. The latest (1950) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $8,000.

The improvement authorized by the act of May 17, 1950, is subject to the conditions that responsible local in- terests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will- a. Provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the construc- tion and subsequent maintenance of the work, when and as required. b. Hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and subsequent maintenance of the works. c. Provide and maintain without cost to the United States, and in accordance with plans approved by the Chief of Engineers, a suit- able and adequate wharf for the accommodation of small craft which shall be open to all on equal terms. d. Establish a competent and properly constituted public body empowered to regulate and manage the inner harbor facilities. Local interests were notified on September 29, 1950, of the required conditions of local cooperation. None of the above conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities. There are two general merchandise wharves, and several fish wharves, all privately owned. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. There were no opera- tions or costs during the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 77 percent complete. Project depths of 16 feet in the anchorage basin and 18 to 20 feet in the entrance channel are available. Private par- ties dredged 420,795 cubic yards of gravel from the harbor between 1922 and 1930 under permits and without cost to the United States. To complete the project there remains the construction of the inner small boat basin and protecting breakwater. The concrete sea walls are in excellent condition. The breakwaters are in good condition. The gravel spit along the eastern side of the harbor is too low to prevent waves from rolling into the harbor dur- ing severe storm periods. RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1701 The total costs of the existing project at the end of the fiscal year were $209,819.91 for new work and $126,273.91 for maintenance, a total of $336,093.82. The total expenditures were $336,093.82. Proposed operations. No work is scheduled for the fiscal year 1952. The additional sum of $22,000 can be profitably expended for rip- rapping of west breakwater and a condition survey during the fiscal year 1953.

TWO HARBORS (AGATE BAY), MINN. Location. The harbor is situated on the north shore of Lake Supe- rior, 27 miles northeasterly from Duluth, Minn. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 96.) Existing project. This provides for narrowing the natural entrance by the construction of two breakwaters, 1,625 feet and 900 feet long, from the eastern and western points of the bay, respectively; and for dredging a maneuvering area on the north side of the harbor to depths of 26 and 28 feet, referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is taken at 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary seasonal variation of water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. The harbor is subject to extreme fluctu- ations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and baro- metric conditions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The cost for new work for the completed project was $3,554,154. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $14,000.

Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Operations consisted of dredging 19,812 cubic yards of earth and 10,388 cubic yards of ledge rock in enlargement of the turning basin, placing 18,801 tons of stone in new breakwater and 400 linear feet of timber crib breakwater 30 feet in width on submerged rubble mound base of new east breakwater, all by contract, to complete this latest modi- fication of the project. The total cost was $368,587 for new work. The total net expenditures were $501,289.01. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1950. The breakwaters are in good condition. The controlling depth in the maneuvering area at the end of the fiscal year was 23 feet. The total costs were $3,554,154.02 for new work, and $225,- 874.21 for maintenance, a total of $3,780,028.23. The total expendi- tures were $3,780,028.23. Proposed operations. An allotment of $15,000 during fiscal year 1952 will be applied to maintenance dredging by U. S. dipper dredge Gaillard during the fall of 1951. The additional sum of $6,000 can be profitably expended for re- pairs to east breakwater and a condition survey during the fiscal year 1953.

DULUTH-SUPERIOR HARBOR, MINN., AND WIS. Location. This harbor is at the extreme western end of Lake Superior. The cities of Duluth, Minn., and Superior, Wis., are situ- ated on the north and south sides, respectively. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 966.) Previous projects. Superior and Duluth were separate improve- ments until consolidated by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896. The original project for the harbor at Superior City was adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867; for Duluth Harbor by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871. These projects were modified by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873; March 3, 1881; July 5, 1884; August 5, 1886; August 11, 1888; and July 13, '1892. For further details, see page 1929 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1400 of Annual Report for 1938. RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1703 Existing project. This provides for the following work: a. Rebuilding the canal piers at Duluth entry with stone-filled timber-crib substructure and concrete superstructure 1,734 feet long and 300 feet apart for 1,250 feet, then flaring to 540 feet apart at the harbor end. b.

KEWEENAW WATERWAY, MICH. Location. This waterway is a navigable channel, minimum width 300 feet, 25 miles long, partly natural and partly artificial, across Keweenaw Point, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 944.) Existing project. This provides for the following work: a. A waterway across Keweenaw Peninsula via Portage Lake, 25 feet deep and 300 feet wide, increased to 400 feet through Portage Lake below the shoal at its head and with a straight cut-off channel from Princess Point to Messners Point. b. Flaring eastern entrance from Keweenaw Bay, 28 feet deep in the outer portion, diminishing to 25 feet in the inner portion, pro- tected by a breakwater 5,714 feet long. c. A mooring basin inside the east entrance, one-half mile long, 800 feet wide, and 25 feet deep, with mooring piers protected by fender piling. d. Converging breakwaters at the western entrance, with westerly breakwater 2,645 feet long and easterly breakwater 2,485 feet, having an entrance 500 feet wide between the breakwaters. e. A western entrance channel 32 feet deep lakeward of the en- trance between the breakwaters, diminishing to 25 feet in quiet water and enlarged inside of the breakwaters into a maneuvering basin, 1,000 feet in maximum width and 3,000 feet long. f. A mooring basin inside the west entrance 3,600 feet long and 800 feet wide and 25 feet deep, with mooring piers protected by fender piling. g. Reveting the banks as necessary. h. Pierheads 400 feet long at the west entrance to the canal. 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 estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951, is $7,955,000. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $100,000. On account of its length, the waterway is affected in a very slight degree by lake fluctuations of short duration. The annual fluctua- tion is about 1 foot. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HIARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1713 Acts Work authorized Documents Sept. 19, 1890 Acquisition of the waterway; for a 16-foot channel of H.

The six coal docks, three general merchandise wharves, and several minor wharves, all privately owned, are served by improvements made along Keweenaw Waterway. The city of Hancock has two publicly owned wharves. The village of Houghton has wharf improvements at the ends of three streets. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during the fiscal year. Maintenance dredg- ing in progress at the close of the fiscal year removed 17,345 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $27,- 956. Grading behind the revetments to stabilize the material which was in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year was completed at a cost of $8,122. Repairs to the upper entrance breakwater were also completed at a cost of $19,522 and additional repairs were com- menced and completed during the fiscal year at a cost of $22,719. Examination, surveys, inspection, and waterway patrol during the fiscal year cost $8,978. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $87,296.54 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $103,103.91. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 75 percent complete. The breakwaters are in good condition except for a weak- ness occurring in about 300 feet of the substructure of the break- water at the lower entrance, and the stone-covered portions of the breakwaters at the upper entrance are in need of minor repairs. The remaining timber revetments along the waterway are in poor condition. The mooring pier at the Lily Pond requires repairs to halt movement, and permit dredging to project depth adjacent thereto, and that at the Portage River harbor of refuge is in good condition. Annual redredging of channels will be required indefi- nitely. The controlling depth on June 30, 1951, was 25 feet. To complete the project there remains the extension of the lower en- trance breakwater, and the necessary alteration or replacement of structures due to deepening of channels. For work performed with regular funds, the costs of the existing project were $5,772,115.36 for new work and $3,105,412.81 for main- 1714 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The total cost for maintenance was $136,500.89. The total net expen- ditures were $121,387.47. 1720 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 80 percent complete. Parallel piers were built 500 feet apart, 1,912 and 1,545 feet long, respectively, and a pile revetment 100 feet long at the inner end of each pier; a channel 250 feet wide and 18 feet deep was dredged between the piers from the lake to the bay; and a pile dike was built in 1895-97 to close a natural entrance 5,770 feet in width. The west pier is in poor condition and requires repairs. The super- structure of the outer 744 feet of the east pier is being rebuilt in con- crete and the balance of this pier is in fair condition but needs some timber decking and stone cover. The timber portion of the pile dike is in poor condition and the stone protection has settled. Some por- tions of the dike have been entirely destroyed by storm action. The controlling depth in the channel at the end of the fiscal year was 13 feet. To complete the project there remains to construct an 800 linear foot extension to the existing west pier, and dredging to widen the inner portion of the channel from 250 feet to the project width of 300 feet. The costs were $355,885.29 for new work and $689,603.19 for main- tenance, a total of $1,045,488.48. The total expenditures were $1,036,- 493.67. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $67,743.38 plus accounts receivable of $1,538.75, plus an allotment of $36,000 during fiscal year 1952, a total of $105,282.13 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1951___-____ $10,533.56 Maintenance : Completion of repairs to 744 lin. ft. of east pier superstructure by contract, July-September 1951 $58,748.57 Repairs to entrance piers with U.

WHITEFISH POINT HARBOR, MICH. Location. The harbor is located on the south shore of Lake Supe- rior 40 miles northwesterly from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and 49 miles easterly from Grand Marais, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 92.) Existing project. This provides for two converging breakwaters 140 feet apart at their outer ends, having lengths of 430 feet and 720 feet for the north and south breakwaters, respectively; and for a harbor basin within the breakwaters 12 feet deep with a maximum width of 230 feet and a length of 625 feet. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Supe- rior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary seasonal variation of water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. The harbor is subject to extreme fluctuations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric con- ditions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimated cost for new work, made in 1951, is $320,000. The latest (1945) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $1,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 446, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. There is one privately owned fishing wharf with a length of 225 feet. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Advance planning for construction of the-project was done at a cost and expenditure of $26.52. Condition at end of fiscal year. No construction work has been started on this project to date. At the end of the fiscal year a con- trolling depth of 3 feet was available in the anchorage area. The total costs were $8,920.26 all for new work. The total expenditures were $8,920.26. 1722 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Proposed operations.

WARROAD HARBOR AND RIVER, MINN. Location. Warroad Harbor and River are at the southwestern ex- tremity of Lake of the Woods, 36 miles west of the mouth of Rainy River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 84, Lake of the Woods.) Existing project. This provides for dredging and maintaining a channel 8 feet deep from the landing at Warroad to deep water in the lake, the channel being 9,200 feet long, 200 feet wide within the harbor and 300 feet wide out in the lake; for a turning basin 500 by 900 feet to a depth of 8 feet; and for a pile-brush-stone jetty on the north side of the channel extending from the shore 700 feet into the lake. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake of the Woods, which is 1,056 feet above mean tide at New York. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951, is $383,800. The latest (1928) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 Dredging bar at mouth of Warroad River--------- Specified in act.

Recommended modifications of project. Under date of April 19, 1948, the Chief of Engineers recommended that the project be cur- tailed by reducing the channel width to 100 feet and the turning basin to 250 feet. 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1723 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year. Maintenance surveys and inspections were made at a cost of $1,356 and sale and disposal of project owned plant cost $32,187. The total cost for maintenance was $33,542.60. The total net expenditures were a minus $1,243.52. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project as a whole is 76 per- cent complete. The protective jetty was completed in 1910 and re- constructed 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 re- vetment is in need of minor repairs. The work to be done to complete that part of the existing project outside of the present used dredging lines consists of widening the lake channel from 200 to 300 feet for a distance of 7,460 feet. This has not been done, as the additional width is not necessary to meet present requirements. The total costs of the existing project at the end of the fiscal year were $83,805.36 for new work and $377,835.64 for maintenance, a total of $461,641,000. The total expenditures were $461,515.07.

Lake Survey Chart No. 701.) 1729 1730 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Previous projects. Adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details see page 1933 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1422 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for two breakwaters extending from the shore on either side of the mouth of the Manistique River, 1,744 feet and 1,480 feet in length for the east and west breakwaters, respectively, and for a pier 375 feet long on the west side at the river mouth. It further provides for a channel through the outer basin 19 feet deep from that depth in the lake to a point about 300 feet inside the entrance, thence 18 feet to a point about 1,150 feet up- stream from the mouth of the river, and thence 18 feet, except where rock is encountered at less depth, for a further distance of about 500 feet, with widths of 276 feet at the breakwater entrance, increasing to 475 feet through the outer basin, decreasing to 215 feet at the river mouth, thence varying from 180 feet to 325 feet at the upper limit; the total length of channel being about 4,100 feet. The break- waters are formed of stone-filled piling and timber cribs, capped with concrete superstructure; the west pier is formed of stone-filled plank cribs. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951, was $702,800, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,500.

The act of May 17, 1950, provided that respon- sible local agencies shall furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secre- tary of the Army that they will hold and save the United States free from damage due to the construction work and the subsequent maintenance thereof. Local interests were notified on July 19, 1950, of the required conditions and requested to furnish assurances that they will be met. Negotiations for the above assurances are in prog- ress. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities. Besides a car-ferry slip there are two coal and building material wharves, two fishing wharves, and numerous lum- beryard slips. While these facilities are considered fairly adequate RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1731 for existing commerce, it is believed that a wharf, with rail connec- tion and under public control, should be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of dredging 33,363 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $20,269. Soundings and sweepings were taken at a cost of $1,388. Placing 944 tons of stone as riprap along the east breakwater cost $7,957. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $29,613.67 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $30,263.08. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project in effect prior to the modification of May 17, 1950, was completed in 1917. No work has been done on the last modification of the project providing for pres- ent dimensions of channel. The construction of the breakwaters in- closing the basin was commenced in May 1911 and completed in November 1914. Construction of the plank-crib pier was commenced in May 1909 and completed in October 1909. Dredging of the chan- nel to 18 feet over practically all the area below the car-ferry slip was commenced in June 1915 and completed in July 1915. Dredging of the channel above the slip to ledge rock was commenced in July 1917 and completed in August 1917. The breakwaters are in gener- ally 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 17.2 feet in the channel through the outer basin to the river mouth, thence 16 feet in the river to about 500 feet above the car-ferry slip, decreasing to about 15 feet over a width of about 90 feet along the west revetment to the coal wharf. The costs under the existing project were $307,- 252.18 for new work and $279,969.16 for maintenance, a total of $587,221.34. The total expenditures were $589,353.90. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $195.48, plus accounts receivable of $920.37, plus an allotment of $1,500 during fiscal year 1952, a total of $2,615.85 will be applied to condition surveys and sweepings, about June 1952.

Existing project. This provides for protecting the mouth of the river by parallel piers 400 feet apart and about 1,870 and 2,681 feet in length for the north and south piers, respectively; for a channel 21 feet deep from that depth in the bay to the upper end of the Marinette municipal wharf, about 4,700 feet above the Ogden Street Bridge, and 10,700 feet from the outer end in the bay where the width is 600 feet, reducing to 300 feet between the piers and up to Ogden Street Bridge, thence 200 feet in the river to the upper end of the municipal wharf, with an enlarged turning basin 21 feet deep on the south side of the channel just below that wharf and for a channel 12 feet deep and generally 90 feet wide upstream from the upper end of the municipal wharf for a distance of 2,500 feet to the vicinity of the Marinette Yacht Club. Except for 168 feet of concrete caissons at outer end of south pier, the piers are formed of stone- filled piling and timber cribs, the entire north pier and 2,156 feet of the south pier having been repaired with concrete superstructure. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressures, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time.

Besides a car-ferry slip, there are numerous wharves for handling coal, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities. The city of Marinette has provided a public wharf. The facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, except that there is need for a public wharf owned by the city of Menominee with warehouse and railway connection. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of dredging 13,600 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $8,715. Soundings were taken at a cost of $2,309. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $11,023.12 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $11,023.12. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was completed in 1938. No work will be necessary at the present time, to provide a depth of 12 feet in the extension of the channel to the vicinity of the Marinette Yacht Club as project depth or more is now available. The entrance piers were completed in 1884 and are in generally good condition. Dredging of the channel below the Marinette municipal wharf and enlarging the turning basin, to existing project depth, was commenced in May 1938 and completed in November 1938. The inner 654 feet of the north pier is no longer essential for the preservation of the channel and is therefore maintained only for a length of about 1,216 feet. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 21 feet in the channel to the Marinette municipal wharf and in the turning basin, except in the southerly 125 feet of the basin, where it shoals to about 9 feet along the extreme southerly limit. The channel above the municipal wharf has depths of 12 feet or more for a distance of 2,500 feet to the vicinity of the Marinette Yacht Club. The river is available for rafting and logging for about 102 miles above its mouth. The costs and expenditures under 1734 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 the existing project were $149,504.49 for new work and $537,160.80 for maintenance, a total of $686,665.29. Proposed operations. An allotment of $3,500 during fiscal year 1952 will be applied to sounding harbor, care, and supervision during the fiscal year.

This provides for an outer channel in Green Bay about 10 miles long and 22 feet deep, from that depth in the bay to the mouth of Fox River, varying in width from 500 feet at the outer end to 300 feet at the river mouth, including widening of the bend outside of Tail Point Light; for protecting the portion through Grassy Island, about 700 feet long, on the east side by a stone-filled timber pile revetment capped with concrete superstructure; for straightening the channel from the inner end of Grassy Island to the river mouth; for widening the channel in Fox River through the city of Green Bay by the removal of shoals at the mouth of East River and between the two upper railroad bridges to a depth of 22 feet; for a turning basin 22 feet deep at the mouth of East River; for a turning basin 20 feet deep above the Chicago & North Western RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1739 Railway bridge near the southern limits of the city of Green Bay; for an inner channel in the river 150 feet wide and 18 feet deep extending upstream about 31/2 miles from the latter turning basin to De Pere, terminating in another turning basin 18 feet deep with sufficient area to accommodate 500-foot vessels. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations 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 for the entire project, revised in 1951, is $1,758,800, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and excluding $70,000 contributed and $30,000 to be con- tributed by local interests. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost for maintenance for the entire project is $50,000.

The act of March 2, 1945, provided that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent maintenance as required and contribute $30,000 toward the cost of dredging the turning basin at the mouth of East River. Assurances of local cooperation were furnished by the city of Green Bay and were approved by the Chief of Engineers on December 6, 1950. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities. There are numerous wharves for the handling of coal, petroleum products, grain, pulpwood, wood pulp, sulfur, cement, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities located on this waterway. Green Bay has provided a municipal wharf open to the public. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of dredging 81,400, cubic yards of material for restoration of project 1740 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 depths at a cost of $37,583. Soundings were taken at a cost of $5,602. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $43,185.05 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $42,523.97. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was completed in 1938. No work has been done on the last modification of the project providing for a turning basin at the mouth of East River. Deepening and widening the outer channel in Green Bay, to existing project depth and width, was commenced in August 1934 and completed in November 1936. Dredging the channel in Fox River through the city of Green Bay was commenced in May 1935 and completed in November 1935. Dredging the turning basin above the Chicago & North Western Railway bridge was commenced in August 1938 and completed in September 1938. Dredging the inner channel and turning basin to existing project depth was commenced in June 1926 and completed in October 1926. The east revetment at Grassy Island, built in 1869, is in generally good condition. The west revetment was entirely re- moved in July 1935. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 22 feet in the outer channel and in the channel through the city of Green Bay, 20 feet in turning basin above railway bridge, and 17 feet in the inner channel, including the turning basin at De Pere. The head of deepwater navigation is at De Pere.

FOX RIVER, WIS. Location. This river rises in Columbia County, Wis., and flows in a northerly direction into Green Bay. Its length is about 176 miles. The Wolf River, physically the main river but by designation a tributary of the Fox, rises in the central part of Forest County, Wis., and flows in a southerly direction about 220 miles into the Fox River 10 miles above Oshkosh. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 726 for Lake Winnebago and lower Fox River.) Previous projects. As provided by special act of July 7, 1870, and River and Harbor Act of June 10, 1872, the original project was modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1873. The improvement of the Wisconsin River was abandoned in 1887 (Annual Report for 1887, p. 2096). For further details see page 1940 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1434 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for deepening and widening the channel of Fox River from De Pere, 7 miles above the mouth, to Portage, Wis., a total length of 156 miles, the depth between De Pere and Montello, 125 miles, to be 6 feet, with 9.6 feet in rock cut below De Pere lock and 7 feet in other rock cuts on the lower river below Menasha lock; and from Montello to Portage, 31 miles, the depth to be 4 feet; the width of channel from Lake Winnebago to Montello to be 100 feet, with necessary widening at bends; for the construction and reconstruction of 27 locks and 16 dams; for a concrete retaining wall at Kaukauna; for construction and maintenance of harbors having depths of 6 feet on Lake Winnebago; for widening Neenah Channel to 100 feet, with a 6-foot depth for a length of about 1 mile; and for dredging, snagging, and otherwise improving Wolf River from its mouth to New London, a distance of 47 miles, the depth to be 4 feet. All depths are referred to standard low water. Ordinary and extreme fluctuations of water level above and below mean stages on various parts of the improvement, due to floods and other causes, are about as follows: 1742 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1745 Recommended modifications of project. Legislation authorizing the abandonment of that part of the improvement of Wolf River above Fremont and the upper Fox River from the mouth of the Wolf to the Wisconsin River has been recommended in House Docu- ment No. 146, Sixty-seventh Congress, second session. 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- tions consisted of dredging 4,085 cubic yards of material removing loose stone, boulders, and other materials from the river channel and canals between Little Chute and Combined Locks, below Kaukauna 5th. Lock and Little Kaukauna Lock; removing snags and obstruc- tions from the upper river; and completing dredging in progress at the end of the previous fiscal year at Calumet Harbor, Lake Winne- bago by removing 4,627 cubic yards; and 5,300 cubic yards of material from channel at Stockbridge Harbor, Lake Winnebago, for restora- tion of project depths; and accomplishing general repairs to canal banks along the lower river, at a total cost of $18,851. The total net expenditures for maintenance were $17,155.14. Operating and care: Operations consisted of making necessary re- pairs to locks, dams, and lock houses, including placing 2,600 cubic yards of stone protection at toe of Little Kaukauna dam, renewing decayed timbers in upper gates at Kaukauna 2d and 3d locks, in- stalling new timber gates at Kaukauna Guard lock, and renewing decayed timbers in right wing wall below Little Chute 2d lock; the lockmaster's dwelling at Appleton 1st lock which was damaged by fire was repaired, renewed decayed timbers in upper gates, and over- hauled upper valves and maneuvering gear at Appleton 1st lock; the floor at Menasha lock was repaired and covered with asphaltic concrete, and drain pipe was placed behind each lock wall; safety hand rails were installed by contract along both lock walls at all lower Fox River locks, except Menasha lock; on the upper river minor repairs were made; all at a cost of $131,513. The locks and dams were operated in accordance with the existing project and gages were read at a cost of $147,587. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant except the installation of the safety hand rails and dwelling furnaces. The total cost of operating and care was $279,100. The total net expenditures for operating and care were $244,903.52. The total cost of all work was $297,951. The total net expenditures for all work were $262,058.66. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 44 percent complete (upper river 25 percent; lower, 83 percent). Twenty-two original locks and nine original dams have been rebuilt; five additional locks and dams have been built by the United States. (See existing project for year of completion of each.) The struc- tures and the dredging in pools have increased the original depths generally about 2 feet. The controlling depths at standard low water at the close of the fiscal year were as follows: Fox River : De Pere to mouth of Wolf River--------- 6.0 Thence to Eureka lock--- _ __3.2 --------------- 1746 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

The work remaining to be done to complete the project is no longer considered necessary. The existing locks and dams are in generally fair to good condition. On June 26, 1951, all concerned were in- formed by a public notice issued by the district engineer that opera- tion of the locks on the upper Fox River, Portage of Eureka, would be discontinued as of 7 July 1951, in accordance with the policy of the Corps of Engineers to suspend lock operation and maintenance of waterways affording little or no benefit to general commerce and navigation and to eliminate nonessential maintenance expenditures. The costs under the existing project were $871,724.01 for new work and $5,225,583.17 for maintenance, including $2,653,920.13 for oper- ating and care, a total of $6,097,307.18. The total expenditures were $6,088,956.23. In addition, the sum of $3,795,495.53 (including $89,309.40 under previous projects) was expended between July 5, 1884, and June 30, 1935, on the operating and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appro- priation for such purposes.

This improvement is on the west shore of Lake Michi- gan, distant about 52 miles northeasterly from Green Bay and about 128 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 728.) Previous projects. Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1873, and June 14, 1880. The United States assumed possession of the canal April 25, 1893, as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892. The original project for the canal was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894, modified by River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896. For further details see page 1935 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1441 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for an outer harbor or stilling basin protected by two converging breakwaters, each 1,344 feet in length, extending from the shore on either side of the easterly or Lake Michigan end of the canal; for a revetted canal 7,200 feet in length, varying in width from 160 to 250 feet; for a channel 23 feet deep in rock cut, extending from that depth in Lake Michigan to about 800 feet west of the east entrance of the revetted canal, a length of about 0.6 mile; thence a channel 22 feet deep through an 1748 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 additional 6,400 feet of revetted canal and through Sturgeon Bay to the vicinity of Sherwood Point, a length of about 8 miles, the total length of channel being about 8.6 miles; the width of channel being 600 feet in Lake Michigan, reducing to 200 feet through the harbor and 130 to 220 feet through the revetted canal, thence 250 feet through Sturgeon Bay to a point 5,400 feet northwest of the railroad bridge in the city of Sturgeon Bay and thence 500 feet to the vicinity of Sherwood Point; for a turning basin 20 feet deep, on the southwesterly side of the channel, southeasterly of the high- way bridge, between the city and the Bushman wharves; and that the turning basin immediately west of the revetted canal be elimi- nated from the project. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled piling and timber cribs and have been provided with concrete super- structures; the revetments are formed of timber and steel piling, 886 feet having been provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The cost for new work for the completed project was $736,303, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $120,000.

There is also an inactive large stone wharf located about 5 miles northwesterly from the city of Sturgeon Bay. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of dredging 17,100 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depths at a cost of $11,749. Placing 974 tons of stone as riprap along the south detached breakwater, at a cost of $6,602. Soundings RIVERS AND HARBORS-M1VILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1749 were taken at a cost of $4,962. Reconstruction of 301 linear feet of the north revetment and 224 linear feet of the south revetment, by contract, in progress at the end of the previous fiscal year was com- pleted at a credit of $2,184. Reconstruction of 493.5 linear feet of the north revetment by contract was completed at a cost of $83,299. Plans for proposed repair to the outer end of the south detached breakwater involved a deferred cost of $45.63. All work, except the reconstruction of portions of the revetments was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $104,426.15 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $108,194.71. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1946. The breakwaters were completed in 1880, and the canal revetments in 1903. Dredging and rock removal at the easterly en- trance,to the canal and dredging in the westerly section of the canal, to existing project depth, were commenced in May 1940 and com- pleted in September 1940. Deepening and widening the middle sec- tion of the canal to existing project depth and width, was commenced in May 1942 and completed in August 1942. Dredging of the turning basin was commenced in June 1946 and completed in July 1946. The breakwaters are in generally good condition. The canal revetments require repairs and backfilling. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 21.6 feet in the canal and 20 feet in the turning basin. The costs under the existing project were $736,303 for new work and $1,621,287.83 for maintenance, a total of $2,357,590.83. The total expenditures were $2,354,641.52. In addition, the sum of $425,259.17 (including $189,319.35 under pre- vious projects) was expended between April 25, 1893, and June 30, 1917, on the operating and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriations for such purposes.

Soundings were taken at a cost of $693. Repairs to the outer end of the south pier in progress at the end of the fiscal year involved a cost of $12,655. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $55,- 537.40 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $55,844.28. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 88 percent complete. The work remaining to be done consists of dredg- ing a 10-foot width along each side of the lakeward portion of the entrance channel between the piers. This dredging was necessarily omitted to avoid removal of riprap along the entrance piers and thereby endangering them. The present width of channel is consid- ered adequate for present and reasonably prospective commerce. The south pier, completed in 1883, and the north pier in 1908, are in generally good condition. Dredging of the entrance channel and inner basin to existing project depth, was commenced in March 1937 and substantially completed in May 1937. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 18 feet in the channel between the piers and in the inner basin. East and West Twin Rivers are navigable for about 3 and 7 miles respectively, from the harbor piers for craft drawing not more than 4 feet. The costs under the existing project were $74,721.66 for new work and $658,- 707.82 for maintenance, a total of $733,429.48. The total expendi- tures were $734,180.30. Proposed operations.

MANITOWOC HARBOR, WIS. Location. This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 79 miles northerly from Milwaukee and about 106 miles from Green Bay via Sturgeon Bay Canal. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 735.) Previous projects. The original project was adopted in 1854, the first appropriation for the improvement having been made by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852. The project was modified by subsequent River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1881, Septem- ber 19, 1890, June 3, 1896, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1937 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1453 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for an outer harbor or stilling basin formed by two breakwaters extending from the shore on either side of the mouth of the Manitowoc River 425 feet apart at their outer ends and diverging to a distance of about 2,325 feet apart at their inner ends, having lengths of 2,540 feet and 2,290 feet for the north and south breakwaters, respectively; for a channel 21 feet deep, extending from that depth in the lake through the outer har- bor to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 2,500 feet, with a width of about 650 feet; for a channel 21 feet deep in Manitowoc River from the river mouth to the second railway bridge, a distance of approximately 1.7 miles, with widths of 180 feet at the mouth, reducing to 150 feet at the upper end, with intermediate reductions and enlargements; for removal of old north stub pier at the river entrance; and for dredging in the outer harbor an approach channel RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1757 21 feet deep to a proposed city terminal on the lake front south of the shore end of the south breakwater. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling, all of which are capped with concrete superstructures. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure of about 1/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951, is $707,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000.

The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the work of dredging an approach channel to the proposed city terminal in the outer harbor "shall not be undertaken until local interests shall have submitted assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that such terminal will be constructed." The plan for the municipal terminal has been abandoned. All other requirements have been com- plied with. Terminal facilities. Besides three car-ferry slips there are two grain elevators, two shipbuilding yards, and several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, cement, and miscellaneous commodities. While these facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, it is believed the city should provide a suit- able wharf with warehouse and railway connection, which should be open to the general public. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of dredging 44,300 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depths at a cost of $20,072. Placing 945 tons of stone riprap along the breakwaters, cost $7,528. Soundings were taken at a cost of $1,285. The outer end of the north breakwater was repaired at a cost of $5,743. A portion of the timber crib south breakwater was repaired with steel sheet piling at a cost of $27,154. All work was done by hired labor and use of a Government plant. The total cost was $61,782.71 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $60,777.05. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 87 1758 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 percent complete. The work remaining to be done consists of dredg- ing the approach channel in the outer harbor, which is not now desired by local interests. The breakwaters completed in 1910 are in generally good condition. The dredging of the channel through the outer basin to existing project depth, and the removal of a portion of the old north stub pier at the river entrance were commenced in May 1937 and completed in December 1937. Dredging of the river channel was commenced in June 1939 and completed in July 1942. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 21 feet in the channel through the outer basin and in the river to the second railway bridge. The costs under the existing project were $436,752.02 for new work and $772,929.72 for mainte- nance, a total of $1,209,681.74. The total expenditures were $1,210,- 598.53. Proposed operations.

It further provides for the protection of the river mouth by two piers, 358 feet apart at the outer ends and 552 feet apart at the shore line, 1,656 and 1,608 feet in length for the north and south piers, respectively; for a channel 21 feet deep, extending from that depth in the lake, to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 2,850 feet, the width of channel outside the piers to be 600 feet; for dredging channels 21 feet deep in the rivers from the inner ends of the entrance piers to the North Humboldt Avenue Bridge on the Milwaukee River, to a point 100 feet west of the west line of North Twenty-fifth Street extended, on the Menomonee River and to the South Kinnickinnic Avenue Bridge on the Kinnickinnic River; for dredging to 21 feet a portion of the outer harbor between East Wis- consin Avenue extended and East Bay Street extended and easterly of a line 50 feet lakeward of the pier head line; and the abandon- ment of so much of the previous project as related to dredging inside the shore line for the formation of turning basins and widening channels. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and concrete caissons, all of which are capped with concrete super- structure. The inner entrance piers are formed of concrete caissons, stone-filled timber cribs, and piling and are also provided with con- crete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951 was $4,916,000, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $113,000.

The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the original dredging of the outer harbor area be done by the city of Milwaukee and the city of Milwaukee be reimbursed at actual cost but not to exceed 10 cents per cubic yard, place measurement, for original dredging done subsequent to the authorization of the work by Congress. Agreement covering the dredging was executed by the RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1765 Secretary of War February 23, 1934, after this work was originally authorized as part of the Public Works program. All other requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities. Besides four car-ferry slips, there are numer- ous wharves, private and municipal, used for the handling of coal, grain, building materials, cement, petroleum products, and miscella- neous commodities. As the facilities in the inner harbor are con- sidered inadequate for existing commerce, the Milwaukee Harbor Commission is engaged in building an outer harbor. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of repairing 50 linear feet of north shore connection with steel sheet piling at a cost of $32,263. The breakwaters were riprapped with 4,714.85 tons of stone at a cost of $32,422. Soundings were taken at a cost of $1,619. All work was done by hired labor and use of Gov- ernment plant. The total cost was $66,304.77 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $62,581.57. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project in effect prior to the modifications of August 30, 1935, and March 2, 1945, was completed in 1934. No work has been done on deepening the outer harbor area to 21 feet north of the inner entrance piers, nor of the last modifica- tion of the project providing for dredging the river channels to 21 feet deep. The north breakwater was completed for a length of 8,210 feet in 1909. Construction of 1,744 feet in extension of the north breakwater was commenced in May 1924 and completed in August 1925, making the total length 9,954 feet. The north pier was com- pleted in 1905 and construction of the south pier was commenced in April 1909 and completed in November 1910. Construction of the south breakwater and shore connection was commenced in May 1925 and completed in October 1929, except for placing additional riprap and rebuilding about 756 feet of the breakwater damaged by a storm of October 22-23, 1929. Rebuilding the damaged section of the south breakwater and the placing of additional riprap were commenced in April 1931 and completed in August 1932. Dredging for deepen- ing and widening the entrance channel to existing project depth and width, was commenced in May 1929 and completed in September 1930. Placing additional small stone around the caisson breakwaters to chink the voids in the large riprap was commenced in 1930 and completed in 1934. Prior to the modification of August 30, 1935, the city of Milwaukee dredged the area in the outer harbor south of the inner-entrance piers and lakeward of the pierhead line to more than 21 feet below datum without cost to the United States. The concrete superstructures on the timber crib section of the north breakwater and on the harbor piers are showing some disinte- gration, and require repairs. The south breakwater and shore con- nections are in generally good condition. A portion of the south en- trance pier is failing and should be rebuilt. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 21 feet and more in the entrance channel through the outer basin and between the inner piers. The costs under the existing project were $4,537,- 812.20 for new work, $1,472,894.51 for maintenance, a total of $6,010,- 706.71. The total expenditures were $6,007,220.00. Proposed operations.

RACINE HARBOR, WIS. Location. On the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 26 miles southerly from Milwaukee and about 64 miles northerly from Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 745.) Previous projects. The original project was adopted by the citizens of Racine about 1842 or 1843. The citizens' project was modified by acts of June 23, 1866, March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further details, see page 1939 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1465 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a north breakwater 2,640 feet long extending from shore at a point about 1,350 feet north of the remaining 180 feet of pier on the north side of the channel at the mouth of Root River, and for a south breakwater 2,652 feet long extending from the city rubble mound about 1,650 feet south of the remaining 22.5 feet of pier on the south side of the channel at the RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1767 mouth of the river. It further provides for a channel, through the outer basin, 23 feet deep from that depth in the lake to a point about 400 feet inside the entrance, thence 21 feet to a point about 750 feet westward of the outer end of the north stub pier, with widths of 350 feet at the entrance, increasing to 1,000 feet through the outer harbor and decreasing to 190 feet in the river to a point about 750 feet westward of the outer end of the north stub pier, the total length of channel being about 2,300 feet; thence a channel 19 feet deep in Root River to a point about 195 feet below the north line of Bridge Street extended, a distance of about 2,900 feet, with widths of 190 feet at the lower end reducing to 95 feet at the upper end, with inter- mediate reductions and enlargements; and removal of shoals about one-half mile lakeward of the harbor entrance to a minimum depth of 25 feet. The breakwaters and south stub pier are formed of stone- filled timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling, all being capped with concrete superstructures. The north stub pier is formed of stone-filled steel-sheet piling. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tempo- rary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The cost for new work for project as completed was $777,775, ex- clusive of the amounts expended on previous projects and exclusive of inner 300 linear feet of pile pier and 450 linear feet of rubble mound, originally part of south breakwater but no longer considered necessary. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $41,000.

Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of dredging 45,455 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $26,067. Repairs to concrete superstructure on 639 linear feet of north breakwater and 27 linear feet of south break- water involved a cost of of $69,808. Soundings were taken at a cost of $876. Placing 3,718.7 tons of stone as riprap along the break- waters cost $23,797. All work was done by hired labor and use of 1768 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Government plant. The total cost was $120,550.79 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $115,968.80. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was substan- tially completed in 1946. Construction of the north breakwater and shore connection was completed in November 1918. Removal of the old north pier was completed in 1913. Construction of the south breakwater and shore connection and the removal of the old south pier were commenced in June 1916 and completed in December 1924. Removal of the outer shoals widening and deepening the channel through the outer basin to existing project depth and width, and dredging of the river channel were commenced in July 1946 and completed in November 1946. The concrete superstructure on north breakwater and shore connection is disintegrating and requires re- pairs. The south breakwater and shore connection and stub piers are in generally good condition. The controlling depths at low- water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 21 feet in the channel through the outer basin and for a distance of about 600 feet in the river, thence 18.6 feet to the upper limit of the project. The costs under the existing project were $777,774.65 for new work and $624,- 834.68 for maintenance, a total of $1,402,609.33. The total expendi- tures were $1,398,411.78. Proposed operations.

For further details see page 1939 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1468 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a detached breakwater 796 feet long, and for two parallel piers about 250 feet apart, 1,077 feet and 1,872 feet in length for the north and south piers, respectively. It further provides for an entrance channel 200 feet wide and 21 feet deep, from that depth in the lake a distance of 2,750 feet to an inte- rior basin 21 feet deep; and for a channel 21 feet deep and generally 70 feet wide, extending 475 feet northwesterly from the northwest corner of the interior basin to within 35 feet of the Fiftieth Street Bridge. The breakwater is formed of stone-filled timber cribs; the piers are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling. The entire north pier, 1,175 feet of the south pier, and the entire breakwater are capped with concrete superstructure. The inner 697 feet of the south pier has been provided with a steel sheet pile face. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme 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 1951 was $75,700, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and excluding $3,000 to be contributed by local interests.

Local interests were notified on July 19, 1950, of the required conditions and requested to furnish assurances that they will be met. Terminal facilities. There are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities, and also several fishing wharves. While these facilities are considered gener- ally adequate for existing commerce, more efficient use of existing terminals and utilization of available frontage for development of additional terminals should be made. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of taking soundings, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a deferred cost of $651.42. The total net expenditures were $551.63. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project in effect prior to the modification of May 17, 1950, was completed in 1936. No work has been done on the last modification of the project providing for a channel northwesterly from the basin. The north pier completed in 1895, the south pier in 1900, and the breakwater in 1909, are in generally good condition. Dredging of the entrance channel and interior basin to existing project depth, was commenced in October 1935 and completed in April 1936. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 19.3 feet in the entrance channel and 21 feet in the inner basin.

The act of March 2, 1945, provided that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way and spoil disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent maintenance as required and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the dredging of the turning basin just above the mouth of Morrison Channel. Assurances of local cooperation were furnished by the city of Saint Joseph and were approved by the Chief of Engineers on January 22, 1951. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities. There are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, petroleum products, and miscellaneous commodities and three shipbuilding yards. A package-freight ter- minal is also available for use. While these facilities are generally adequate for existing traffic conditions, a public wharf open for all on equal terms should be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of dredging 107,173 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $27,054. Soundings were taken at a cost of $2,574. Miscellaneous surveys cost $576. The total cost was $30,203.94 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $30,249.18. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project in effect prior to the modification of March 2, 1945, was completed in 1938. No work has been done on the last modification of the project providing for a turning basin just above the mouth of the Morrison Channel. The piers and revetments completed in 1904 are in generally good con- dition except that a portion of the north revetment and pier re- quire repairs. Dredging of the channel to existing project depth, was commenced in August 1938 and completed in October 1938. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 20.5 feet in the channel to Benton Harbor Canal and 15.2 feet in Benton Harbor Canal to Ninth Street. The costs under the exist- ing project were $366,683.16 for new work and $1,014,851.31 for maintenance, a total of $1,381,534.47. The total expenditures were $1,381,428.90. Proposed operations.

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 quad- rangle.) 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 diminish- ing to 390 feet inside, about 3,569 and 5,549 feet in length for the north and south sides, respectively, and for a channel 23 feet deep and generally 300 feet wide and 1,500 feet long from that depth in the lake to a point about 1,000 feet inside the pier ends; thence 21 feet deep and 300 feet wide and 11/4 miles long to the car-ferry slip, with an enlargement at the upper end; thence 21 feet deep and 300 feet wide and 11/4 miles long from the car-ferry slip to the Grand Trunk Railway bridge at Ferrysburg; with a turnin. basin 18 feet 1780 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 deep on the south side of the channel just below that bridge; thence a channel 18 feet deep and generally 100 feet wide to deep water in Spring Lake, a distance of about 1,350 feet in the river and about 1,750 feet up the outlet from Spring Lake; and for a channel in Grand River 8 feet deep at low-water datum, 100 feet wide and 141/2 miles long to Bass River, the total length of river channel being about 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 1951, was $1,002,400, 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 barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level pre- vailing at the time.

Dredging by hired labor and use of Government plant for restoration of project depth in the river above the Grand Trunk Western Railway bridge in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year was completed by removing 47,845 cubic yards of material at a cost of $14,432.81, 2,000 cubic yards were dredged from the turning basin for restoration of project depth at a cost of RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1781 $1,392 and 1,575 cubic yards were dredged from the depot basin at a cost of $1,373. Maintenance dredging on the Grand River with a rented hydraulic dredge cost $12,119 and maintenance dredging by contract in progress at the close of the fiscal year removed 120,000 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $53,998. Soundings were taken at a cost of $1,117. Preliminary costs for future repair work were made at a deferred cost of $1,716.41. The total cost was $144,110 for maintenance. The total net expendi- tures were $110,506.84. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 98 percent complete. The work remaining to be done consists of a small amount of dredging on the northerly side of the inner channel at the point of land 1,350 feet upstream from the inner end of the north revetment. This dredging cannot be done without revetting the bank or endangering private cottages. The present channel past this site, having a least width of 240 feet, is considered adequate for present and reasonably prospective commerce. The piers and revetments were completed in 1893 and are in generally good condition except that the south revetment and pier require repairs. Dredging of that portion of the channel between the car-ferry slip and the Grand Trunk Railway bridge to a width of 200 feet, 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 com- menced in September 1938 and completed in November 1938. Widening of the channel between the car-ferry slip and the Grand Trunk Railway bridge to 300 feet and dredging the turning basin on the south side of the channel just below that bridge was commenced in October 1948 and completed in September 1949. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 21 feet between the piers, thence 19 feet in the river to the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, and 18 feet in the turning basin, and thence 8 feet to Bass River and 17 feet in the outlet from Spring Lake. The costs under the existing project were $964,850.65 for new work and $2,411,- 079.89 for maintenance, a total of $3,375,930.54. The total expendi- tures were $3,344,427.27. Proposed operations.

MUSKEGON HARBOR, MICH. Location. This harbor is on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 114 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 80 miles easterly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 767.) Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1867, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, June 23, 1874, August 2, 1882, September 19, 1890, August 18, 1894, March 3, 1899, and June 13, 1902. For further details, see page 1950 of Annual Report for 1915; page 1399, Annual Report for 1924; and page 1484, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for an exterior basin in Lake Michigan, formed by two arrowhead breakwaters, the south 1,514 feet and the north 1,404 feet long, 500 feet apart at the outer ends diverging at an angle of about 900, the inner ends connected with the shore by suitable structures, 1,660 feet and 1,561 feet long on the north and south sides, respectively; for the removal of 1,003 feet of the existing north pier and 1,106 feet of the existing south pier; for repairing and maintaining the revetment around the old car-ferry slip on the south side of the entrance channel; for dredging channel 380 feet wide at the entrance, thence, increasing to 650 feet wide at a point about 300 feet inside the entrance, thence decreasing toward the new pierheads to 500 feet wide and 240 feet wide between RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1783 the piers, with depths varying from 24 feet at the harbor entrance to 21 feet at the shore line and in the inner channel to Muskegon Lake, about 6,050 feet from the harbor entrance. The south break- water 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 fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The cost for new work, for the completed project was $1,900,922, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $28,000.

The main terminals are at the city of Muske- gon, at the inner end of Muskegon Lake, and include a car-ferry slip, a large privately owned wharf equipped with warehouse, transit shed, and cold-storage plant, and several wharves used for handling coal, petroleum products, building materials, and miscellaneous com- modities. There is also a sand wharf at the west end of Muskegon Lake south of the inner end of the improved channel. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of dredging 51,853 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $10,553 including $1,097 for surveys. Placing 2,923.7 tons of stone as riprap along the south breakwater cost $18,501. Soundings in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year were completed at a cost of $526. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $29,580 for mainte- nance. The total net expenditures were $22,596.61. 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 December 1930. The construction of the north breakwater and shore connec- tion and the removal of portions of the old piers were commenced in June 1930, and completed in December 1931. Deepening and widening of the entrance channel to existing project depth and width, was commenced and completed in June 1932. Repairs to the south revetment around the old car-ferry slip were commenced 1784 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 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 connections are in generally good condition. The inner piers and revetments are in fair condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 20.2 feet in the channel through the outer harbor and between the inner piers to Muskegon Lake. The costs under the existing project were $1,900,922.07 for new work and $659,453.53 for maintenance, a total of $2,560,375.60. The total expenditures were $2,556,694.23. Proposed operations.

Besides the main terminal of the Pere Mar- quette Railway Co., consisting of three car-ferry slips and a wharf with warehouses, there are several wharves used for handling coal. building materials, and miscellaneous commodities. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of dredging 28,104 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $8,941. Repairs to 105 linear feet of crib failure with stone along the south shore connection cost $43,560. Soundings in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year were completed and others taken at a cost of $1,097. Placing 2,856.6 tons of stone as riprap along the breakwaters cost $15,334 with some costs out- standing at end of fiscal year. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $68,932 for main- tenance. The total net expenditures were $67,248.43. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1918. Construction of the breakwaters was commenced in 1908 and completed in May, 1911. The construction of the shore connections was commenced in 1912 and completed in November, 1914. The dredging was completed in 1917, and the placing of additional stone as riprap in 1918. The breakwaters and shore con- nections and the inner piers and revetments are in generally good condition except that a portion of the south shore connection sub- structure is failing and requires repairs. The outer 100 feet of the south breakwater were removed by private interests in 1939 by au- thority of the Chief of Engineers dated June 2, 1939, thereby in- creasing 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 project also provides for a south breakwater having a main arm 1,300 feet long and a shore connection 1,185 feet long, 1790 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 north pier and revetment 2,797 feet long, and south pier and revet- ment 774 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 south pier and revetment consists of steel sheet piling with stone fill in pier. 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 1951, was $763,700, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $33,000.

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 en- trance are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and rubblestone, being 781 feet and 452 feet in length on north and south sides, respectively. The entire south pier and the outer 303 feet of the north pier have been provided with concrete superstructure. The revetments are built of piling and are capped with concrete. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one- half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluc- tuations 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 cost for new work for the completed project was $82,223. The latest (1948) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $15,000.

These consist of several small landing places in Round Lake at Charlevoix used for handling fish and miscellaneous commodities. The city of Charlevoix has provided a public wharf south of the inner end of the lower south revetment. A wharf for receipt of petroleum products is located on the west end of Lake Charlevoix. There are coal wharves at Advance and Boyne City at the inner end of Lake Charlevoix. The city of Boyne City has pro- vided a public wharf for small craft. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of completing the placing of 905 tons of stone riprap in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year at a cost of $1,521. Soundings were taken at a cost of $284. All work was ddne by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $1,805 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were -$401.85. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1939. The north pier and revetment of the lower channel was RIVERS AND IARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1799 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 commenced and com- pleted in August 1939. The north revetment of the upper channel has been entirely removed, a portion being removed in 1928 and the re- mainder in 1930. The piers and revetments of the lower channel and the south revetment of the upper channel are in fair condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 19.6 feet in the lower channel to Round Lake and 19.1 feet in the upper channel to Lake Charlevoix. The costs and expenditures under the existing project were $82,223.04 for new work and $400,874.86 for maintenance; a total of $483,097.90. Proposed operations. An allotment of $1,000 during fiscal year 1952 will be applied to condition surveys in June 1952.

This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, dis- tant about 51 miles south of Milwaukee and about 38 miles north from Chicago. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 74.) Previous project. An appropriation was made by the River and 1805 1806 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Harbor Act of August 30, 1852, for a breakwater. This work was abandoned. The original project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 14,1880, and modified by River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882. For further details see page 1940 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1508 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for- (a) A northerly exterior breakwater about 1,900 feet long extend- ing easterly from the shore 1,030 feet and thence southeasterly 870 feet to the outer end, forming a protected outer harbor. (b) Parallel piers, from the outer harbor to an inner basin, about 240 feet apart and 1,613 and 3,212 feet long for the north and south piers, respectively, the inshore end of the south pier diverging south- ward opposite the inner basin. (c) An entrance channel 390 feet wide and 22 feet deep extending from that depth in the lake to the outer end of the north pier, reduc- ing 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 Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctua- tions of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a tem- porary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1951, is $590,700, ex- clusive 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 __ _ _ _ _ Annual Report, 1880, p. 1942.

The act of March 2, 1945, provided that dredg- ing of the anchorage basin shall not be commenced until local interests furnish assurances to the Secretary of War that they will remove the abandoned water intake pipes; construct an adequate bulkhead in RIVERS AND HARBORS---CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1807 front of the city park and in front of the adjacent United States property; furnish, free of cost to the United States, the land neces- sary for the anchorage area; release the United States from all claims for damages resulting from the improvement and provide and main- tain adequate mooring facilities. Local interests were informed of requirements on July 1, 1946. Permit authorizing construction of the required bulkhead was issued by Department of the Army on August 25, 1948 and compliance with the remaining requirements is antici- pated on completion of the bulkhead. Terminal facilities. These consist of a wharf 1,000 feet long, owned by the Chevrolet-Saginaw Grey Iron Foundry Division, equipped with a coal-handling tower, and two coal wharves and one fishing wharf owned by the city of Waukegan. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Miscellaneous surveys were conducted by hired labor at a cost of $3,742.16. The total costs for the fiscal year were $3,742.16, all maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $46, 960.,36. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 92 percent 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. The controlling depths are 19.7 feet in the entrance channel to the outer end of the south pier and 18 feet in the remaining portion of the entrance channel and inner basin. Depths are based on soundings taken in May 1951 and are referred to low-water datum. The mean-water level in June 1951 was 2.67 feet above datum. The total cost to June 30,1951 was $1,523,024.09, of which $536,757.92 was for new work and $986,266.17 for maintenance. Total expendi- tures were $1,523,738.37. Proposed operations.

Work was con- tinued under these projects until 1870. (For further details see p. 1941 of Annual Report for 1915 and p. 1510 of Annual Report for 1938.) Existing project. This provides for the following work: (a) An inner breakwater, all of timber cribs, enclosing an inner basin of about 224 acres in extent, the breakwater being in two sec- tions, as follows: The main inner breakwater 4,036 feet long with 300 feet of shore return on north end; a southerly extension 2,550 feet long. (b) An exterior breakwater enclosing an outer basin of about 970 acres in extent, the breakwater being in three sections, exclusive of gaps, as follows: The shore extension at north end built of timber cribs and 2,250 feet long; the main exterior breakwater, built of tim- ber cribs and 5,413 feet long; and the southerly extension, built of rubble mound and concrete caissons and 5,000 feet long, exclusive of the harbor entrance gap of 500 feet. (c) Maintenance dredging to a depth of 21 feet of that part of the inner basin lying north of a line drawn eastwardly perpendicular to the eastern boundary of Grant Park, from the northern end of said boundary, and also of the entrance to Chicago River from the lake to Rush Street over a width varying from 470 to 190 feet. (d) Maintenance of that section of the north pier, 900 feet long, located east of the entrance to Ogden slip. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot due to wind and difference in barometric RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1809 pressure occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent inter- vals. The cost for new work for the completed project was $3,409,844, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects.

The outer harbor terminals consist of two slips, one opening off from the main river and one, with dock space of 1,500 feet, opening off from the inner basin; 3 wharves, fronting on the river itself, and a United States Navy pier extending into the outer basin from the lake front at the outer end of Grand Avenue. The United States Navy pier is not available to commercial navigation. The outer harbor facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Miscellaneous surveys were conducted by hired labor at a cost of $5,991.78. Preliminary work for repair of shore-arm extension of the exterior breakwater, and repair of inner breakwater was continued by hired labor at a cost of $1,552.98. Repairs were completed to about one-half of the shore- arm extension of the exterior breakwater, by contract, at a cost of $87,157.20. Repairs were initiated to the remaining one-half of the shore-arm extension of the exterior breakwater, and to the inner breakwater, by contract, and 15 percent of the work was completed at a cost of $76,258.99. The total costs for the fiscal year were $170,960.95, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $255,059.94. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1923. The entrance to Chicago River has been improved by the construction of parallel entrance piers, and dredging 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 for an experimental section about 100 feet long which has failed. Repairs on this section are in progress. The southerly arm (timber 2,544 feet, 1810 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARIVIY, 1951 completed in 1880; concrete superstructure completed in 1930), is in good condition. The exterior breakwater (timber 5,418 feet, com- pleted in 1889; concrete superstructure completed in 1930), the south- erly 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. The shore-arm extension (timber 2,250 feet, completed in 1917) has de- teriorated above the water line. Repairs are in progress and by 30 June 1951, approximately 55 percent of the deteriorated portion was replaced by a concrete superstructure. The north pier (concrete superstructure, 975 feet, completed in 1908 and repaired in 1949) is in good condition. The controlling mid-channel depth from the west end of the lock near the mouth of the Chicago River, to the Michigan Avenue bridge, is 21 feet. Depths are based on soundings taken in December 1949, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level, lakeward of the lock, in June 1951 was 2.67 feet above datum. The waterlevel landward of the lock is' controlled, the level being maintained at an elevation lower than that of Lake Michigan, except during excessive storm run-off. The total cost to June 30, 1951, was $5,790,965.22 of which $3,409,- 844.22 was for new work and $2,381,121 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $5,771,008.62. Proposed operations.

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 basins to be maintained to project depth to within 20 feet of existing docks. It also provides for dredging a channel 9 feet deep to within 30 feet of existing bulkheads and river banks from North Avenue to Belmont Avenue, thence 9 feet deep and 50 feet wide to Addison Street. The width of channel in main river varies from 200 to 300 feet, in North Branch from 50 to 150 feet, and in North Branch Canal from 70 to 110 feet. All depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York, with due allowance for hydraulic grade resulting from the drainage canal. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951, is $584,350, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1949) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $46,000.

On February 28, 1949, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project for Chicago River, Ill., to provide for a channel 9 feet deep and 50 feet wide in the North Branch of Chicago River and North Shore Channel between Addison Street, Chicago, and Main Street, Skokie, with three passing places 45 feet wide and 500 feet long, in accordance with the plans of the district engineer, at an estimated cost to the United States of $776,000 for new work and $16,500 annually for 1812 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 maintenance in addition to the amount now required, subject to certain requirements of local cooperation. Local cooperation. The act of July 24, 1946, provided that the improvement of the channel is subject to the condition that local in- terests furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will hold and save the United States free from damages which may result from construction and maintenance of the improve- ment. The above requirement has not been complied with. Terminal facilities. In the Chicago River and its branches there is a total wharfage, including numerous slips of about 150,000 feet, about 15,000 feet of which is used by private interests for shipping purposes. These terminals are owned and operated by steamship lines, grain, coal, and lumber companies, and various other industries. They are more than adequate in extent for existing commerce. Ex- cept for the State of Illinois barge terminal and elevator at Damen Avenue on the south branch (mentioned in terminal facilities on the Illinois River), and the frontage along Wacker Drive, owned by the city, there are no publicly owned docks, wharves, or other terminal facilities on the main river or its branches. Operations and results during fiscal year. Miscellaneous surveys were conducted by hired labor at a cost of $9,039.30. After-dredging sounding, in connection with completed dredging contract was accom- plished at a cost of $1,219.46, and cubic yards previously reported were reduced by 2,320. The total cost for the fiscal year was $10,258.76, all maintenance. Total expenditures were $104,567.96. 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 mid-channel depths are as follows: In the main river, 21.0 feet; in the North Branch to North Avenue, 21 feet; North Avenue to Addison Street, 10.3 feet; and in the North Branch Canal, 19 feet. Depths in the turning basin are generally 18 feet or more. Depths are based upon soundings taken in July 1948, December 1949, and September 1950, and are referred to low-water datum. The water level in the Chicago River is controlled, the level being maintained at an elevation lower than that of Lake Michigan, except during excessive storm run-off into the river. The heads of navigation for deep-draft vessels are Belmont Avenue on the North Branch, and Leavitt Street on the West Fork of the South Branch, 5.97 and 5.52 miles, respectively, from the Michigan Avenue Bridge. The head of navigation for barge traffic is near Touhy Avenue on the North Shore Channel, about 11 miles from the Michigan Avenue Bridge. The total cost to June 30, 1951 was $1,770,201.60 of which $544,678.70 was for new.work, and $1,225,522.90 for maintenance. The total ex- penditures were $1,770,155.62. Proposed operations.

CALUMET HARBOR AND RIVER, ILL. AND IND. Location. Northeastern Illinois (Cook County), near the southern end of Lake Michigan, 121/2 miles south of Chicago Harbor, and known on the Great Lakes as South Chicago Harbor, it being in the southerly part of and within the corporate limits of the city of Chicago, except for a part of the breakwaters and of the anchorage behind same, which are in Indiana. The Calumet River is within the Chicago city limits. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 75.) For description, see page 1471 of Annual Report for 1932. Previous projects. The original project for Calumet Harbor was adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 11, 1870, and modified Au- gust 11, 1888. Work was continued under these projects until 1896. The original project for Calumet River was adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 5,1884, and modified August 5, 1886. For further details, see page 1943 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1515 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for the following work: (a) For an outer harbor protected by a breakwater extending east- ward from the shore about 4,400 feet and hence 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. 1814 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 (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 Hun- dred and Twenty-second Street, and thence 21.5 feet deep to and including turning basin No. 5. (f) For widening and straightening the river channel, except through the rock cut, to within 20 feet of bulkhead lines now or here- after established. (g) For five turning basins spaced along the river channel, of suit- able size for turning the largest lake cargo vessels and each of the same depth as the adjacent channel. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Fluctuations in stage of the river are practically those resulting from changes of water level in Lake Michigan. On Lake Michigan seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluc- tuations of 0.1 to 0.5 feet, due to wind and difference in barometric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent in- tervals. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951, is $11,146,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1950) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $115,000.

Local cooperation. The act of March 3, 1905, required as a condi- tion precedent to Federal expenditures upon any one of the five turn- ing basins the donation to the United States of the land necessary for that turning basin. As a result the land needed for turning basins, 1, 3, and 5 was conveyed to the United States. The total area thus conveyed is 17.85 acres, and the value of the land at the time of its conveyance was approximately $35,700. The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the widening of the channel at any locality or the future excavation of a turning basin shall RIVERS AND HARBORS---CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1815 not be commenced until local interests have furnished, free of cost to the United States, the lands or easements necessary for such widening or excavation and have either provided any necessary bulkheads, or have released the United States from all damages to adjacent lands by reason of the excavation. The Republic Steel Corporation has dredged a new turning basin on the east side of the Calumet River just north of One Hundred 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 por- tions of the east side of the river between the south end of the rock section and turning basin 3, mile 4.7. Local interests donated the necessary land for the widening. Terminal facilities. All terminal facilities on the lake front and in the entrance channel up to the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway bridge are owned and operated by two steel companies, except a 450- linear-foot reservation owned by the Corps of Engineers. These facilities consist in part of two slips which are 2,900 and 1,300 feet long, respectively, and also of about 2,961 feet of wharf- age facing on the entrance channel. These terminals are fully equipped and are considered adequate for existing commerce. Addi- tional dockage exists on the lake front and along the entrance channel, but for various reasons it is not now suitable for terminal uses.- Between the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway bridge and The Forks there are about 50,500 feet of wharfage, including 14 slips and dry- docks, of which about 31,300 feet are in use. These wharves are owned and operated by various private and industrial concerns han- dling ore, coal, grain, lumber, etc. About 3,600 feet are in use for shipbuilding purposes. The ore, grain, and coal wharves are fully equipped and are considered adequate for existing commerce. There is one public wharf on the Calumet River, operated by International S. S. Terminals, Inc. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Miscel- laneous surveys and flue dust investigations were conducted by hired labor at a total cost of $23,619.58. Total expenditures were $25,736.20. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 52 percent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the project con- sists of the construction of turning basins 2 and 4; dredging portions of the outer harbor; deepening, widening, and straightening the Calu- met River; dredging an approach channel to the harbor through the shoals outside the detached breakwater; and closing the gap between the breakwaters. The timber breakwater (6,712 feet, completed in 1904; concrete superstructure completed in 1924) and the cellular type steel-sheet pile breakwater (5,007 feet, completed in 1935) are 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 1816 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 2,961 feet in length and 50 feet southerly of the pier's original location. Under permits from the Department, the Defense Plant Corporation has built two sections of bulkhead on the east side of the river between a point opposite the Semet-Solvay slip and the new turning basin 3 at mile 4.7. The United States has widened and deepened the channel adjoining the new bulkhead except along the rock section, where the widening was done by the corporation. Depths in the outer harbor vary from 21 to 28 feet. Controlling mid-channel depth in the en- trance channel is 24.7 feet. The controlling mid-channel depth in the river is 18.0 feet, up to and including turning basin 5. Depths are based on soundings taken in May, August 1950, and June 1951, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1951 was 2.67 feet above datum. The head of navigation for deep-draft vessels in the river is at turning basin 5 at the entrance to Lake Calumet. The total cost, all funds, to June 30, 1951 was $8,707,432.94, of which $5,670,829.89 were regular funds and $3,036,603.05 were Public Works funds; $5,616,541.19 being for new work and $3,090,891.75 for maintenance.

LAKE CALUMET, ILL. Location. Northeastern Illinois (Cook County), within the south- easterly limits of the city of Chicago, just west of and connected 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 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 Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Fluctuations in stage of the lake are practically those resulting from changes of water level in Lake Michigan. On Lake Michigan seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluc- tuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in barometric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent in- tervals. The cost for new work for the completed project was $405,011. The latest (1945) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $22,400. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (H. Doe. 180, 73d Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map of the Illinois Waterway is in House Document 145, Seventy-sixth Congress, first session. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. One terminal facility, owned and operated by Calumet Harbor Terminals Co., is now available. Proposed terminal developments include facilities for lake, river, truck, and air freight. Operations and results during fiscal year. No work was scheduled or accomplished. The expenditures were minus $0.50. 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 17 to 21 feet. Depths in the dredged area, about 56.5 acres at the south end of the lake, vary from 8 to 18 feet. Depths are based on soundings taken in September 1949, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1951 was 2.67 feet above datum. Except in the dredged area, depths in the lake vary from 1 to about 10 feet, but in general are so shallow that no navigation is possible in the undredged portion except by very light draft vessels. The total cost of the work to June 30, 1951, was $416,851.10, of which $405,011.57 was for new work and $11,839.53 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $416,851.10. Proposedoperations.

That part of the Calumet River Branch Channel from the north line of One Hundred and Forty-first Street to the Grand Calumet River has not as yet been completed by local interests or accepted for maintenance by the United States. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Mich- igan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary RIVERS AND HARBORS--CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1819 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 1951, is $4,596,000, exclusive of amount expended in previous project. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $100,000.

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 No. 13, Seventy-fifth Congress, first session, provided that the improvement on one side may pro- ceed in any section of 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- 1820 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 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 are 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 wharf age on the east side of the Calumet River Branch, and about 2,100 feet on the west side of the channel, are used as oil terminals. The wharves now in use are fully equipped and are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during, fiscal year. Miscellaneous surveys were conducted by hired labor at a cost of $19,966.08. Plans for dredging in the Calumet River Branch were completed by hired labor at a cost of $143.05. 105,010 cubic yards of material were removed, by contract, at a cost of $126,922.47. Plans for dredging in the outer harbor were completed by hired labor at a cost of $139.41. 151,200 cubic yards of material were removed, at a cost of $94,659.02. Cost of the dredging, however, was defrayed by reimbursement in the amount of $154,484.85 received from Carnegie Illinois Steel Co. Dredging in the harbor and in the canal was completed, by contract, and 27,611 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost of $29,174.10. The total cost for the fiscal year was $116,519.28, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $52,655.31. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 80 percent 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 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 per- mit from the Department, the Defense Plant Corporation has con- structed a bulkhead on the east side of the canal between the Pennsyl- vania Railroad bridge and Dickey Place Bridge, and the United States has widened and deepened the channel adjoining this bulkhead. The controlling mid-channel depths are as follows: 26 to 28 feet in the entrance channel parallel to the rubble mound breakwater and gener- ally 21 feet or more in the outer harbor; 22.6 feet between the bulk- heads of the steel companies to the five bridges; 20 feet from the five bridges to the turning basin at The Forks; 22 feet in the turning basin at The Forks; from 20 feet at the basin entrance to 15 feet at a point 100 feet from the south side of the basin, in the turning basin east of Canal Street; 20.2 feet from the turning basin at The Forks to One Hundred and Forty-first Street Bridge; and 21 feet from the turning RIVERS AND HARBORS--CIIICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1821 basin to 750 feet above the Indianapolis Boulevard Bridge, on the Lake George Branch. Depths are based upon soundings taken from April 1951 through June 1951, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean level in June 1951 was 2.67 feet above datum. The head of navigation for commercial vessels is at the Baltimore & Ohio Termi- nal 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, 1951, all funds, was $5,568,519.89, of which $3,950,475.40 were regular funds and $1,618,044.49 Public Works funds; $3,628,688.22 being for new work and $1,939,831.67 for maintenance.

For further details see page 1944 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1524 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project This provides for (a) A detached breakwater, east and west entrance piers, and a dredged channel, 120 to 150 feet wide and 18 feet deep, from Lake Michigan to the upper of two turning basins, which are also to have a depth of 18 feet. (b) The repair and restoration of the westerly 1,000 feet of the old east breakwater. (c) Dredging an anchorage shoreward of the restored section to a depth of 12 feet in the northerly portion and 8 feet in the southerly portion. (d) Enlarging the entrance to this basin through the east pier to a width of 66 feet. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michi- gan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluctuations of 0.1 and 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in baro- metric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infre- quent intervals. The cost for new work for the completed project was $1,212,385, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $35,500.

The terminal facilities at this harbor consist of about 16,000 feet of wharfage, about 1,220 feet of which are owned by the city. About 1,000 feet are in use. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. No work was scheduled or accomplished. The expenditures were $20,645.75. 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. Under permit from the Secretary of War, the Northern Indiana Public Service Co. has removed 615 feet of the inner end of the west pier and about 719 feet of the bulkhead south of the pier, and has replaced them with a steel- sheet pile bulkhead located landward of the former dock line. The area channelward of the new bulkhead was dredged by the permittee to 18 feet. Depths in the entrance channel up to the Franklin Street Bridge vary from 16 to 23 feet. Between the Franklin Street Bridge and the turning basin at the head of the project, the depths vary from 3.4 to 18.0 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 2.6 feet. Available anchorage depths in the outer basin are 12 feet in the northerly portion and 8 feet in the southerly portion. Depths are based upon soundings taken during June 1944, October 1947, June 1948, and May 1950, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1951 was 2.67 feet above the 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, 1951, was $2,568,671.45 of which $1,212,- 385.20 was for new work and $1,356,286.25 for maintenance.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1829 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 main- taining the channel authorized (S. Doc. 130, 69th Cong., 1st session.). By deed dated March 28, 1928, the State of Illinois transferred these locks and dams to the United States. Permission has been granted by many riparian landowners for use of their lands for the disposal of dredged material. 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 obliga- tions by the Secretary of the Army, to construct the highway bridges at Brandon Road and Marseilles Canal, to make the necessary altera- tions in other highway bridges across the Illinois Waterway, to make the necessary arrangements and agreements for the alterations of the railroad bridges across said waterway, and to do such other work on said waterway as the Secretary of 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 States because of any contractural 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 construction of a waterway providing minimum 8-foot depths in channels not less than 150 feet wide from the upper end of the Federal project on the Illinois River to Lockport. The lock and dam at Starved Rock was about 95 percent complete, the Marseilles lock was about 95 percent, the Marseilles Canal 98 percent, Dresden Island lock and dam about 20 percent, Brandon Road lock and dam about 70 percent, and the Lockport lock about 95 percent complete before the passage of the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930. The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, as modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938, provides that local interests furnish to the United States, free of cost, all necessary land to effect the improvements recommended in House Document 180, Seventy- third Congress, second session, and install operating machinery and place in operating condition the three drawbridges across the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal between its junction with the Calumet-Sag Channel and Lockport when directed by the Secretary of the Army. All requirements have been met except for the installation of opera- ting machinery in the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway bridge at Lemont, Ill. 1830 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 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 necessary 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 abut- ments or railroad tracks at the approaches to railroad bridges; and agree to remove at their own expense or satisfactorily alter the high- way bridges across Des Plaines River at McDonough and Cass Streets (Joliet) and across the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Six- teenth Street (Lockport), Romeo Road and Lemont Road, and all highway and street bridges across the channels included in the pro- ject, lakeward of Sag Junction which, in the opinion of the Secre- tary of the Army, constitute unreasonable obstructions to navigation; construct all necessary new highway, street, or foot bridges across these channels; agree to provide near Clark Street, Gary, Ind., an adequate public barge-rail-truck terminal open to all on equal terms; and further provided that the several sections of the proposed channel may be improved as separate units when considered advisable by the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Engineers after local inter- ests have provided,, or furnished assurances satisfactory to the Sec- retary of the Army that they will provide the cooperation required for any unit. The city of Chicago has supplied informal assurances that it will furnish the lands required between One Hundred Thirtieth and One Hundred Thirty-eighth Streets for the Calumet River lock site and appurtenances. Local cooperation required for the small boat harbor at Peoria, Illinois, authorized by the River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946, has been fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Of the 13 principal cities and towns along the Illinois River, about 5 own dock frontage, more or less improved for boat landings; 4 own dock frontage with no improvements; and 4 own no frontage except at street ends. At Peoria, the largest city on the river, there is a $400,000 modern river-rail municipal public terminal, having an available frontage of 1,100 feet; 205 feet are occupied by a dock house and 190 feet by an open dock. The dock house is served by a wharf boat 45 feet by 230 feet and an escalator capable of handling 1,000 tons a day. This terminal is served by the equivalent of a belt-line railroad. Grain elevators are available at 26 points between Grafton and Joliet. Private coal-loading terminals are located at Havana, Liverpool, and Copperas Creek and Kingston Lake. Coal-unloading terminals are located at Havana, at the mouth of the Vermilion River near La Salle, and at Joliet; and a cement-loading plant is located at the mouth of the Vermilion River near La Salle and one at Peru. Bulk-petroleum terminals are located at Havana, Kingston Mines, Peoria, Peru, Seneca, and Joliet. Sand and gravel plants are located at Kingston Lake, Chillicothe, Henry, Ottawa, Morris, Joliet, and Lockport. A barge-construction yard, launching ways, and shipyard are lo- cated at Seneca.

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 appropria- tion from September 1, 1881, to the end of the fiscal year 1935.

The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lakes Su- perior and Huron, which are 601.6 and 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the St. Marys River rises and falls about 1 foot as meas- ured by the monthly mean levels. During the navigation season the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean levels above the locks, since 1871, has been about 4 feet, and below the locks, since 1903, about 4.3 feet. In addition to these changes in level, occasion- ally 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 1951, is $95,277,300, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1951) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, including $1,262,00 for operation and care of the locks, is $1,601,900. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS AND HARBORS---DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1857 Acts Work authorized Documents July 11, 1870 Weitzel lock (replaced in 1943 by MacArthur lock), Report by Maj.

Local cooperation. Fully complied with for all features of the project except for the removal of Bridge Island. For that feature, the owners of the International Bridge are required to provide a lift 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, and the United States is to participate in the cost of the bridge change by payment to the owners of a percentage of the actual cost of the alteration, such percentage to be adjusted by the Chief of Engineers between 77.5 percent if a span for Cooper's E-50 loading is constructed and 84 percent if a span for E-35 loading is constructed. On the basis of 1951 price 1858 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 levels the amount of the United States participation is estimated to be $1,992,500. Terminal facilities. This improvement serves the through com- merce between Lake Superior and the lower lakes, and it has not materially influenced the terminal facilities at the towns along its route which consist mainly of small docks for the accommodation of local traffic. Several coaling docks for through-traffic accommoda- tions have been established at Sault Ste. Marie, Lime Island, and Detour. A dock has been established at Drummond Island for stone shipments. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Construction of new powerhouse: The correlation of manufacturer's shop drawings with plans and specifications was completed. Contract work for the manufacture and delivery of certain machinery for use in the powerhouse was completed. Contract work for construction of hydroelectric power plant and appurtenant works was 90 percent completed. Generator unit No. 1 was installed and generator units Nos. 2 and 3 were in process of installation. Contract for construc- tion of dikes and excavations of upper headrace and tailrace was com- pleted. Plans and specifications for removal of cofferdams were prepared. Navigation features: Special studies were continued in connection with the operation of the locks and construction therewith to insure the continuity thereof. Maintenance: The U. S. derrick boats Merganser and No. 4 removed a total of 5,376 cubic yards of materials, scow measure, from east and west approaches to the locks, and from the channels in St. Marys River. Examination of existing channels by sounding and sweeping, and miscellaneous surveys, were continued. Automatic water level gages were maintained, lake level records were compiled, and the dis- charge through power plants, navigation canals, and compensating works was computed and tabulated. Operating and care-St. Marys Falls Canal: The canal was opened to navigation 259 days, from July 1, 1950, to December 16, 1950 and from April 2, 1951, to June 30, 1951. During that period a total of 19,732 vessels, aggregating 115,926,827 tons of freight and 3,749 pas- sengers, passed through the MacArthur, Poe, Davis, and Sabin Locks in 15,247 lockages. The canal and locks were operated as required, and necessary repairs and.improvements were made thereto and to the appurtenant struc- tures and equipment. Renewal of worn and damaged fenders, tar paving behind canal walls, maintenance and repair of electric light, power, and telephone systems, buildings, grounds, piers, and equip- ment continued. Repairs to 10,400 square feet of the north wall of the Sabin Lock by the "Intrusion Prepakt" process completed. Pur- chase and installation of new gate motor controllers for operation of gates on Sabin Lock completed (hired labor). Purchase and installa- tion of safety latches for fender booms on MacArthur, Davis, and Sabin Locks, and purchase and installation of equipment for modifi- cation of present electrical distribution system to provide for connec- tion to new power plant, in progress (hired labor). Installation of wire mesh panels on existing guard railings in vicinity of lock gates RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1859 and installing additional guard rails near ends of locks and across base of nose piers completed by contract.

The project depths are referred to local low-water datums which correspond to low-water datums for Lakes 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. Since 1900 the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean level during the navigation season has been about 4.5 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 1951, is $13,306,300 including $9,300,000 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 maintenance will probably be required for submerged sills.

S. ARMY, 1951 receipt of coal and the other for the receipt of coal and the shipment of salt; and one privately-owned dock at Marine City for the receipt of coal and stone. Operations and results during fiscal year. Surveys were made over the shoals at Port Huron to Marysville, Russell Island, Grande Pointe, Channel E. of Stag Island, and other miscellaneous areas at a cost of $42,297.38. Replacements and repairs to the control system and a continued 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 $5,261.55. The U. S. hopper dredge Savannah re- moved 135,486 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoaled materials from the Russell Island, Grande Pointe to Squirrel Island shoals during the period July 10-July 27, 1950, at a cost of $31,202.52. Prior to maintenance dredging sounding surveys were made over shoals from Light .- 13 to St. Clair Flats Canal in May at a cost of $11,386.23. Costs during the year were $90,147.68, all for maintenance. Total expenditures were $88,038.85. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project, exclusive of the compensating works, widening and deepening Southeast Bend, and improvement of the outlet of the North Channel, was completed in 1937.

For further details see page 2882, Annual 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- 1866 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 ured by monthly mean levels, the water may rise and fall during the navigation season each year as much as 1.4 feet. Since 1860 the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean level during the navigation season has been about 4.5 feet. Occasionally fluctua- tions due to winds of high velocity may be as much as 1 foot in 6 hours. The cost of new work for the completed project was $3,536,722, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000.

The project depths are referred to local low-water datum planes which correspond to low-water datum for Lakes St. Clair and Erie and are taken at 573.5 and 570.5 feet, respectively, above mean tide level at New York. Each year during the navigation season the river rises and falls about 2 feet as measured by the monthly mean levels. Since 1906 the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean level during the navigation season has been about 4.0 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 1951, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $44,232,700. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $102,000.

Local cooperation. Fully complied with for completed portions of project. For Trenton Channel modification approved May 17, 1950, responsible local agencies are required to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will furnish without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil dis- posal areas necessary for the construction and subsequent mainte- nance of the project, when and as required; and hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and sub- sequent maintenance of the works. 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. 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 one with terminal ware- house. Present terminals are considered adequate for existing com- merce. Operations and results during the fiscal year. The U. S. derrick boat Erie removed obstructions in the Amherstburg Channel to re- store project depths of 21 feet at a cost of $31,275.51. Repairs were made to Sugar Island Compensating Dike by derrick boat Erie at a cost of $6,188.25. Examination of the improved channels by sweep- ing and/or sounding was performed during the fiscal year at a cost of $31,540.99. Engineering surveys, investigations of strikings and groundings, repairs to the control system and extension of the harbor line system were made at a cost of $3,983.60. A sounding survey of Zug Island waste bed was made at a cost of $410.62. A sounding survey prior to contract dredging of shoal west of Belle Isle was made at a cost of $914.36. Sounding surveys prior to dredging 1870 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Livingstone Channel and the channel east of Detroit River Light were made during 1950 and 1951 seasons at a cost of $14,449.44. The U. S. hopper dredge Hains operated in the lower section of the Livingstone Channel and the channel east of the Detroit River Light from 4 October to 25 October 1950 and removed 87,573 cubic yards, bin measure, of material at a cost of $33,988.31. The total costs during the fiscal year were $122,751.08, all for main- tenance. Total expenditures during the fiscal year were $126,569.32. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project with the ex- ception of the channel north of Belle Isle, deepening the westerly 300 feet of the Amherstburg Channel and the Ballards Reef Channel (south of its junction with the Livingstone Channel), and extending the turning basin in Trenton Channel was completed in 1941. The work done consists of dredging, rock excavation, and the construc- tion of dikes and compensating works. The dikes are generally in good condition. The Sugar Island compensating dike still shows signs of erosion and weathering.

CHEBOYGAN HARBOR, MICH. Location. This harbor is located on the lower reach of the Cheboy- gan River and is about 100 miles distant from Alpena, Mich., in a 1872 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 northwesterly direction. The river, which is 51/2 miles long, has its source in Mullet Lake, from which it flows in a northerly direction, emptying into the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Huron. The improved portion is about 11/2 miles in length. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Previous projects. The original project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details of previous proj- ects, see page 1956 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1546 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 21 feet deep and 200 feet wide from the 21-foot contour in Lake Huron to the outer end of the west pier, thence between lines parallel to and 25 feet from the docks, 21 feet deep, from this point to East First Street and 181/2 feet deep to the State Road bridge, and thence 81/ feet deep and 60 feet wide from this bridge to the lock in the Cheboygan River, and for a turning basin 21 feet deep, 400 feet wide, and 420 to 770 feet long on the east side of the existing project channel just below East First Street. The length of the section included in the project is about 12,000 feet, of which about 6,000 feet is in Lake Huron. 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 1951, was $313,900, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $12,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 3, 1896 18 -foot channel_----.....--.....-.--....-...-. -Annual Report, 1895, p. 2823.

Fully complied with for completed portions of project. For modification approved May 17, 1950, responsible local interests are required to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will (a) provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way and spoil disposal areas necessary for the construction and subsequent maintenance of the project, when and as required; and (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and subsequent maintenance of the works. Terminal facilities. The harbor has one dock of about 1,000 feet length, which is privately owned but open to all vessels upon equal terms. There are also several other docks of less than 100 feet length RIVERS AND HARBORS--DETROIT, MICH., DISTRIOT 1873 which are privately owned and used. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. A sounding survey was made from the turning basin to deep water in the lake during August 1950 at a cost of $2,007.47. The U. S. hopper dredge Hains removed 47,746 cubic yards, bin measure, of material during the period 4-18 August 1950 at a cost of $22,404.64. The U. S. dipper dredge Kewaunee removed 15,795 cubic yards, scow measure, of mate- rial at a cost of $14,559.12. Costs during the year were $38,971.23, all for maintenance. Total, expenditures were $39,502.87. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project, except for deepening the channel from the 21 foot contour in Lake Huron to the East First Street Bridge and enlarging and deepening the turn- ing basin, was completed in 1939. The outer end of the old slab pier was riprapped in 1921. During August 1951 the channel from East First Street to Lake Huron was restored to the 18.5 foot depth and the turning basin to 15 foot depth. The controlling depth from East First Street to State Road is 18.5 feet and from State Road to upper limit of improvement, the controlling depth is 5.5 feet. Light draft boats navigate a further distance of 30 miles on a waterway improved by local interests under a state law. The costs have been $112,681.82 for new work and $133,311.36 for maintenance, a total of $245,993.18. Total expenditures have been $245,993.18. Proposed operations. No work is scheduled for the fiscal year 1952. The sum of $2,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1953 for a condition survey.

HAMMOND BAY HARBOR, MICH. Location. This harbor is located on the northwest shore of Lake Huron, about 20 miles southeast of Cheboygan, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Existing project. This provides for the formation of a harbor of refuge, protected by breakwater structures extending to the 12-foot depth contour in the lake, for dredging a harbor basin to a depth of 10 feet, and for dredging an entrance channel to a depth of 12 feet. 1874 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The estimate of cost for new work, made in 1951, is $695,000, ex- cluding $89,400 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 maps see House Docu- ment No. 446, Seventy-eighth Congress, second session. Local cooperation. The improvement authorized by the act of March 2, 1945, is subject to the condition that responsible local agencies give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will- (1) Contribute $89,400 in cash toward the first cost of protective structures and dredging. (2) Provide and maintain, without cost to the United States, and in accordance with plans approved by the Chief of Engineers, a suitable and adequate public wharf for the accommodation of tran- sient 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- 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 the prescribed requirements for local co- operation have also been complied with at the following additional projects in this area: Harrisville, Mich.; and Au Sable River (Oscoda), Mich. 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. The two small, privately owned, timber wharves are used principally as fishing terminals by the owners. Two rock-filled, timber crib piers, extending lakeward from the Coast Guard station for a distance of about 200 feet, are used by that service. Terminal facilities are considered adequate for exist- ing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. The model study to determine the best location and arrangement of breakwaters for a harbor of refuge, made by contract with the University of Michigan, was completed. A report on the study was published in September 1950. The costs were $15,681.27 all for new work. The expenditures were $15,859.62. Condition at the end of fiscal year.

ALPENA HARBOR, MICHIGAN Location. This harbor is located on the northwest shore of Thunder Bay, Lake Huron. The river has its source in Montmorency and Alpena Counties, Mich., and empties into Thunder Bay. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Previous projects. Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of August 14, 1876, and August 2, 1882. For further details see page 1957 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1548 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 21 feet deep, from that depth in Thunder Bay to a point 2,500 feet lakeward of the lighthouse; thence 181/2 feet deep to the upper end of the Fletcher Paper Co. dock in Thunder Bay River; for channel width of 200 feet from the 21-foot contour in Thunder Bay to the outer end of the breakwater, thence tapering to 100 feet in a distance of about 500 feet, thence 100 feet to Second Avenue Bridge and thence 75 feet for 1,600 feet, to upper limit of the improvement; and dredging a turning basin opposite the Fletcher Paper Co. dock 15 feet deep and about 160,000 square feet in area; for the protection of the channel on the south side by the construction of a rubble mound over a length of about 600 linear feet landward from the end of the old docks and by the construction of a rubble breakwater from the same point lakeward for a distance of about 370 feet. The total length of the river included in the project is 4,620 feet, and the improved channel extends 7,500 feet farther into the bay beyond the lighthouse. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the level of Thunder Bay River rises and falls about 31/2 feet. From day to day level changes somewhat due to wind and barometric pressure, such changes frequently amounting to more than a foot. The cost of new work for the completed project was $309,562, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1935) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $7,500. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: 1876 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

SAGINAW RIVER,, MICH. Location. This river is formed by the union of the Tittabawassee and Shiawassee Rivers, is about 22 miles long, and flows in a north- erly direction and into the south end of Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Previous projects. Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866, June 23, 1874, June 18, 1878, March 3, 1879, August 2, 1882, and August 5, 1886. For further details see page 1957 of An- nual 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/ feet deep to the junction with the Tittabawassee River, a distance of about 291/2 miles; and for a turning basin 15 feet deep by 360 feet wide, varying from 690 feet to 420 feet in length, adjacent to the east side of the existing channel between Court Street and Bristol Street Bridges. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is taken at 578.5 feet above mean tide level at New York. Due to storms the level of the river at its mouth rises and falls about 13 feet. Spring freshets and excessive rains have caused an abnormal rise of as much as 14 feet at Saginaw. Occasionally a considerable change takes place within few hours, resulting from the raising or lowering of Saginaw Bay by violent winds. The cost of new work for the completed project was $2,081,580, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1949) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $97,500.

HARBOR OF REFUGE AT HARBOR BEACH, LAKE HURON, MICH. Location. This harbor is located on the west shore of Lake Huron about 60 miles north of Port Huron, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Existing project. This provides for the formation of a harbor of refuge protected by stone-filled timber-crib breakwaters-the main breakwater being 4,716 feet long, the north one 1,204 feet long, the original north entrance, 304 feet wide, being reopened to a depth of 10 feet, and the south breakwater 1,956 feet long; for dredging the main entrance, 600 feet wide, to a depth of 23 feet; and for dredging an anchorage area approximately 3,000 feet long by 1,200 feet wide to a depth of 21 feet. The project depths are referred to a stage of 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The normal elevation of the water surface in Lake Huron varies from year to year. During each year the level is 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 2.21 feet. Since 1875 the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean level during the navigation season has been about 5 feet. Occasional fluctuations due to winds of high velocity and variations in barometric pressure may amount to several feet in a few hours. The cost of new work for the completed project was $1,200,598. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3,1871 Adopted the site and made provision for the harbor. Annual Report 1873, p. 292.

There is but one dock about 500 feet long. This dock, privately owned, is open to all vessels upon equal terms and is considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. A sounding survey of the harbor area and entrance channel was made during September 1950 at a cost of $742.26. The total expenditures were $742.26. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1928. The work consisted of the construction of three breakwaters, dredging an entrance channel, and an anchorage area 72 acres in extent protected by the breakwaters. The breakwaters were originally constructed in 1885 and since then have been capped with concrete and about 6,170 feet of the outer face has been rip- rapped for additional protection. The north entrance was closed by a rubble mound in 1920 and reopened to a 10-foot depth in 1928. Dredging was completed in 1922. The sounding survey of 1950 shows a controlling depth of 19.5 feet in the entrance channel and a controlling depth of 18 feet in the anchorage area. The break- waters are in fair condition, except for the riprap along the lake side of the main breakwaters, which needs repair. The fendering on the main breakwater was replaced in 1950. The costs have been $1,200,598.17 for new work and $1,496,522.91 for maintenance, a total of $2,697,121.08. Total expenditures have been $2,697,121.08. Proposed operations. No work is scheduled for fiscal years 1952 and 1953.

PORT SANILAC HARBOR, MICH. Location. This harbor is located on the southwest shore of Lake Huron, about 30 miles north of Port Huron, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Existing project. This provides for the formation of a harbor of refuge protected by breakwater structures extending to the 12-foot depth contour in the lake; for dredging a harbor basin, 10 feet in depth, and for dredging an entrance channel 12 feet in depth. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951, is $563,600, ex- cluding $130,100 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1950) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $5,500. RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1887 The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945. For latest published map see House Document No. 446, Seventy-eighth Congress, second session. Local cooperation. The improvement authorized by the act of March 2, 1945, is subject to the conditions that responsible local agencies give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will- (1) Contribute $130,100 in cash toward the first cost of protective structures and dredging. (2) Provide and maintain, without cost to the United States, and in accordance with plans approved by the Chief of Engineers, a suitable and adequate public wharf for the accommodation of transient vessels. (3) Establish a competent and properly constituted public body, empowered to regulate the use, growth, and free development of harbor facilities, 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- ments and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the proj- ect; 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 Austin, 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. The Michigan State Waterways Com- mission has contributed funds in the amount of $130,100, the full amount required. Terminal facilities. One small privately owned, stone-filled, tim- bered-crib dock is used principally as a fishing terminal by the owner. A municipally owned timber pier, extending about 150 feet lakeward, with a 50-foot extension on one side and a 40-foot extension on the other side, is open to all vessels on equal terms. Terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. A contract for the con- struction of two steel sheet pile breakwaters and the dredging of a harbor basin and entrance channel was completed on May 25, 1951, at a cost of $414,361.15. The final payment to the contractor has been withheld pending a request for additional payment by the con- tractor. The total costs for the fiscal year were $414,361.15, all for new work and the total expenditures were $554,013.74. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project, which was started on April 24, 1950, was 100 percent complete on May 25, 1951, except for final payment to contractor. An after dredging sounding survey shows a project depth of 6 feet in the south one-third of the harbor basin and a 10-foot project depth in the north two-thirds of the harbor basin. The entrance channel has a project depth of 12 feet. The total costs have been as follows: 1888 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

BLACK RIVER, MICH. Location. This river has its source in the northern part of Sanilac County, Mich., is about 60 miles long, and flows in a southeasterly direction into the St. Clair River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 43.) RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1889 Previous projects. Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, and August 11, 1888. For further details see page 1441 of Annual Report for 1916, and 1554 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 20 feet deep from deep water in St. Clair River to the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge, 160 feet wide at the mouth, decreasing to 100 feet about 800 feet from the mouth, thence 100 feet wide for 2,600 feet, decreasing to 75 feet for a distance of 4,800 feet at upper end; widening two bends to 100 feet, one at the foot of Twelfth Street, and the other below the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge; and for a settling basin 75 feet wide and 20 feet deep, beginning at the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge in Port Huron and extending upstream a distance of about 2,300 feet. The length of the section included in the project is 10,500 feet. The project depth is referred to local low-water datum in the St. Clair River at the mouth of the Black River, which is 577.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the level of the river rises and falls from 4 to 6 feet, due to the fact ' hat 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 1951, is $221,500, exclusive of $167,000 to be contributed by local interests, and exclu- sive of cost of work on previous projects. The latest (1945) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $13,400.

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 improvements. None of the above requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities. There are docks on both sides of Black River, near its mouth, and between these docks and the upper limit of improvement there are five other docks varying in length from 100 to 500 feet. All docks are privately owned and are restricted to the 1890 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 use of the owners. The facilities are considered adequate for exist- ing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. The U. S. hopper dredge Savannah during the period July 2 to July 9, 1950, removed 7,157 cubic yards of material at a cost of $8,217.05. During the period July 10 to August 11, 1950, 60,617 cubic yards, place measure, of material were removed from the settling basin by contract dredging at a cost of $37,199.83. Total costs were $45,416.88, all for mainte- nance. Total expenditures were $45,428.89. Condition at end of fiscal year. All work, except that authorized by the act of August 30, 1935, has been completed. Sounding survey made during April 1950 shows a controlling depth of 18 feet, except for scattered shoals along the channel banks, from the mouth of the river to the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge. In the settling basin the controlling depth decreases from 18 feet at the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bridge to 10 feet at the upper limit of Federal improvement.

ROUGE RIVER, MICH. Location. The river rises in Oakland and Washtenaw Counties, Mich., is about 30 miles long, and flows in a southeasterly direction through Vayne County 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., lst sess.). For further RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1891 details see page 1530 of Annual Report for 1932, and page 1558 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for the following: a. A channel 21 feet deep from that depth in Detroit River through the Short Cut Canal, 400 feet wide at the entrance, tapering to 200 feet in a distance of 2,000 feet, thence 200 feet to Maples Road, in- cluding a turning basin, 21 feet deep, near the upper end of the project. b. A channel 25 feet deep from that depth in Detroit River through the mouth of the old channel upstream for a distance of 1,300 feet, with a width of 240 feet at the mouth, tapering to 100 feet at a distance of 800 feet from the mouth, thence 18 feet deep and 100 feet wide for a distance of 1,425 feet, thence 17 feet deep and 100 feet wide to the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad bridge, a distance of about 1,550 feet, thence 21 feet deep and 100 feet wide, flaring to 130 feet at the north end of the Peerless Portland Cement Co. wharf, thence 21 feet deep, with width flaring from 130 feet to 150 feet at the junction of the old channel with the Short Cut Canal, suitably widened at the bend opposite the Detroit Sulphite Pulp & Paper Co. plant. The distance from Detroit River to the head of the project at Maples Road is about 31/2 miles via the Short Cut Canal, and about 41/2 miles via the old channel. The project depths are referred to local low-water datum in the Detroit River at the mouth of the Rouge River, which is 572.2 feet above mean tide at New York. The level of this river, except during floods, changes with the level of the Detroit River, which fluctuates to an average extent of about 1.5 feet during the navigation season. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951, is $1,170,900, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $90,000.

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 the Army, protecting the 1892 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 United States against all damages to adjacent lands and property which may result from dredging operations. Except for the guaran- ties protecting the United States against damages to adjacent lands and property along the 25-foot channel, this requirement has not been complied with. All prior requirements fully complied with. Terrninal 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 ma- chinery, one pulpwood dock, and one timber dock. There are nine docks that receive coal, three docks that receive stone, one dock that receives coal-tar, and one dock that ships salt. There are also a number of smaller docks for launches. All docks along the river are privately owned and understood to be restricted to use of the owners. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. The U. S. hopper dredge Savannah, during the period December 1, 1950, to January 31, 1951, removed 202,104 cubic yards, bin measure, of material at a cost of $71,426.74. Sounding surveys were conducted over the entire project at a cost of $2,643.12. Pollution control studies were conducted at a cost of $65.99. Total costs for the fiscal year were $74,135.85. Total expenditures were $68,851.06. Condition at end of fiscal year. The 21-foot project, which con- sisted of dredging a 21-foot channel from the Detroit River via the Short Cut Canal to the upper limit of improvement and the con- struction of five dolphins at the mouth of the Short Cut Canal, was completed in 1923. The 25-foot project at the mouth of the old chan- nel was started with funds from the Emergency Relief Administra- tion, but due to shortage of funds dredging was restricted to a dis- tance of 1,150 feet upstream of the mouth of the old channel. All other work provided for in the act of August 30, 1935, relative to the improvement of the old channel, is held in abeyance until local inter- ests have complied with the terms of local cooperation. The controlling depth of the 21-foot project, via the Short Cut Canal, is 21 feet along the center half of the channel to the turning basin which has a controlling depth of 21 feet except along the channel banks. The controlling depth of the old channel, from its intersection with the Short Cut Canal to the 25-foot project, is 17 feet. The 25-foot section has a controlling depth of 25 feet, except along the channel banks. All bridges have been altered to comply with the requirements of law. The dolphins at the mouth of the Short Cut Canal are in poor condition; and as they are no longer utilized by navigation interests, further maintenance is not justified and the dolphins should be re- moved. The head of navigation is determined by a fixed bridge about 2,600 feet above the upper limit of improvement.

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 1894 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide to the lower wharves at Monroe, a dis- tance of about 3,800 feet. The project also provides for riprapping of protecting dikes on each side of the channel extending lakeward for a distance of about 1,200 feet; and for a turning basin with an area of about 22 acres and depth of 18 feet. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The level of the river varies with that of Lake Erie, which fluctuates irregularly from year to year, the greatest annual fluctuation being about 2.75 feet and the least about 0.90 of a foot measured by monthly mean levels. Since 1860 the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean level during the navigation season has been about 4.9 feet. The cost for new work, revised in 1945, is $777,500, excluding $300,- 000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1930) approved esti- mate for annual cost of maintenance is $35,000.

Local cooperation. All requirements have been met. Terminal facilities. At the city of Monroe are some small privately owned docks and a municipally owned terminal. These docks are open to all vessels upon equal terms. The Ford Motor Co. has its own private dock. The facilities are considered adequate for exist- ing commerce. Operations and results during the fiscal year. The U. S. hopper dredge Hoffman, during the period July 22 to July 30, 1950, re- moved 37,656 cubic yards, bin measure, of material at a cost of $11,589.25, including surveys. The costs were $11,589.25 and expen- ditures were $12,126.15 for maintenance, including $7,500 contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1936 except for riprapping of protecting dikes on each side of the channel, which is not considered necessary at the present time. Due to the combined action of severe storms and continued high water, the dikes have largely disappeared. Sounding surveys made in June and August 1950 show controlling depths of 16.5 feet through the center half of the channel and 13 feet in the turning basin.

TOLEDO HARBOR, OHIO Location. This harbor comprises the lower 7 miles of Maumee River and the channel about 16.5 miles through Maumee Bay to Lake Erie. The Maumee River has its source in Northern Indiana and empties into Lake Erie. The harbor is located at the westerly 1896 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 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; for a triangular widening at the bend in the channel at the mouth of the river, on the north side of the channel opposite the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway dock, 3,055 feet in length, 460 feet maximum width and 16.2 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 1951, is $5,509,300, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $354,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 Auxiliary channel above Fassett Street Bridge, and H.

Recommended modification of project. On April 28, 1950, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing proj- ect for Toledo Harbor, Ohio, to provide for removal of the center dike on which the Maumee Bay Range Lights are located, to the project depth of 25 feet, generally in accordance with the plans of the district engineer and with such modifications thereof as in the discretion of the Chief of Engineers may be advisable, at an esti- mated cost to the United States of $420,000 for the removal of the dike and a reduction of $3,000 in the cost of annual maintenance, subject to the provision that local interests hold and save the United States free from damage due to the construction works. Local cooperation. Fully complied with for completed portions of project. For widening at bend opposite C. & O. dock, approved RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1897 May 17, 1950, local interests are required to agree to hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from the construction works. Terminal facilities. There are three large railroad terminals used for receipts of ore, one for receipts of coal, and two for shipments of coal; one fuel dock; four docks with elevator facilities for han- dling grain; five pipeline docks for shipments of petroleum products and one pipe line dock for receipts of petroleum products. Two package-freight terminals are open to all facilities on equal terms. There are five sand and gravel docks, one cement dock, and three private fish docks. The city of Toledo has provided a lagoon near the mouth of the river suitable for winter mooring of vessels. Termi- nal facilities are regarded as adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. The U. S. hopper dredges Hoffman, Savannah, and Hains operated, respectively, over the entire project during the periods from July 31 to November 26, 1950, and from July 27 to November 3, 1950, and from May 24 to June 30, 1951, removing materials in the amounts of 608,353 cubic yards, 485,771 cubic yards and 160,968 cubic yards, bin measure, at a cost of $159,700.31, $163,811.77 and $56,618.97. Sounding surveys were made over the entire project during August, September, Octo- ber 1950 and during May and June 1951 at a cost of $12,667.15. A field office was maintained for supervision of the harbor and mis- cellaneous surveys and inspections at a cost of $7,228.02. The costs for the fiscal year were $400,026.22, all for maintenance. Total ex- penditures were $344,667.64. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project, exclusive of widening the channel opposite the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway dock, was completed in 1936. Maintenance dredging has restored project depths over the center 300 feet of the lake section and in the river channel with a controlling depth of 16.5 feet in the turning basin. Continuous heavy shoaling usually results in a controlling depth of about 23 feet over the bay section by the close of the season.

SEBEWAING, SEBEWAING RIVER, MICH. Location. Sebewaing River drains an area of about 105 square miles in Huron and Tuscola Counties on the westerly side of the Thumb area of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and discharges into Saginaw Bay, an arm of Lake Huron, about 20 miles northeast of the mouth of Saginaw River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Existing project. This provides for the enlarging of the present channel of the Sebewaing River, through the village of Sebewaing, Mich., to a capacity of 7,500 cubic feet per second from the junction of the Columbia and State drains to a point 4,500 feet lakeward of the railroad bridge near the mouth, for altering the railroad bridge and three highway bridges to permit free passage of ice, and for removal of the present dike on the south side of the channel lake- ward of the railroad bridge. The project is designed to provide protection for the village of Sebewaing from floods with a frequency of occurrence of once in 1904 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 15 years and with a magnitude greater than the maximum flood of record. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941. (See H. Doc. 286, 76th Cong., 1st sess., which contains the latest published maps.) The current (1951) estimated cost of' construction is $380,500. The approved estimate (1949) for annual cost of maintenance is $5,000. Local.cooperation. With the exception of the furnishing of lands, easements, and rights of way for the removal of the remaining por- tion of the dike on the south side of the channel lakeward of the rail- road bridge, all requirements of local cooperation have been complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year. The stream gaging pro- gram continued at a cost of $1,165. Ice jams were removed during March 1951 to alleviate spring flood conditions at a cost of $1,097.71. The costs for the fiscal year were $2,262.71, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,934.53. Condition at end of fiscal year. The work required to construct the project is 95 percent complete. Work remaining to be done con- sists of completion of removal of dike on south side of channel lake- ward of railroad bridge. All items of the project are in good condi- tion with the exception of the channel, which has a shoal at the upper end, and there is some erosion of the banks. The costs have been as follows: New work --------------------------------------------- $365,642.14 Maintenance ---------------------------------------------- 7,488.27 Total --------------------------------------------- 373,130.41 The expenditures have been $372,134.66. Proposed operations. The unexpended balance, amounting to $1,507.48, will be applied to accounts payable June 30, 1951 and to maintenance work. The additional sum of $5,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1953 for maintenance, including removal of ice jams, surveys, repairs to stop logs, dredging, and continuation of stream gaging program.

MOUNT CLEMENS, CLINTON RIVER, MICH. Location. Clinton River drains an area of about 760 square miles in Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair, and Lapeer Counties in the south- eastern portion of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and discharges into Anchor Bay, an arm of Lake St. Clair, about 18 miles north of the head of Detroit River. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 42.) Existing project. This provides for construction of a cut-off canal extending from a point on Clinton River, at the southerly limit of Mount Clemens, Mich., and about 1,500 feet below Gratiot Avenue Bridge, directly southeastward to Lake St. Clair, a distance of about 12,500 feet, with the bottom width varying from 50 to 80 feet and with a control weir at the upper end and at the lower end of the cut-off canal. The plan of improvement will provide protection to Mount Clemens and Harrison Township from floods with a magnitude of 15,000 cubic feet per second. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. 694, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published maps.) The current estimate of Federal cost for new work, approved in 1951, is $980,000. The estimated cost to local interests is $1,191,300. Local cooperation. The improvement is subject to the condition that responsible local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of Army that they will- (1) Provide without cost to the United States all lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way, including the removal of buildings, neces- sary for the construction of the project. (2) Hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works. (3) Bear the cost of all necessary highway bridges and access roads thereto. (4) Establish and enforce regulations satisfactory to the Secre- tary of Army and designed to prevent encroachments on the im- proved and existing channels. (5) Maintain and operate all the works after completion in ac- cordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Army. These assurances were furnished by the Intercounty Drainage Board of the Clinton River Spillway Drain and were accepted by the dis- trict engineer for the Secretary of the Army on June 27, 1949. The land, etc., required under item (1) are being obtained by the Corps of Engineers at the request of local interests. The total cost, estimated at $205,000, is being borne by local interests. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preparation of plans and specifications was continued at a cost of $2,380.04. Funds in the amount of $1,370 were transferred to the United States Geological Survey for operation of stream gaging stations. Test seeding was performed at a cost of $309. Due to slides occurring on the completed portion of the cutoff canal, the original contract was terminated and the project was redesigned. During the year 42,600 cubic yards was excavated under the original contract at a cost of $67,028.92. Under new contracts for the redesigned portion, 1,023,000 1906 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, IT. S. ARMY, 1951 cubic yards of earth were excavated from the channel, and miscella- neous cleaning, ditching, and riprapping was performed at a total cost of $404,343.55. Work in connection with acquisition of land for local interests was continued at a cost of $24,691.51. The total costs were $500,123.02, including $24,691.51 from contributed funds, all for new work. The total expenditures were $473,388.74, including $24,771.17 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project is about 90 percent complete. Construction work on the project was commenced on July 20, 1949. It is expected that the project will be ready for use in October 1951. Work remaining to be done consists of completing the excavation of the canal, riprapping and seeding portions of the banks, and construction of the lower weir.

RED RUN, CLINTON RIVER, MICH. Location. Red Run, a tributary of South Branch of Clinton River, drains an area of about 70 square miles in Oakland and Macomb Counties, in the southeastern portion of the lower Peninsula of Michigan. Existing project. This provides for enlargement of the channel of Red Run, from the intersection of Campbell and Twelve Mile Roads to the junction with South Branch, a distance of about 12 miles, to a trapezoidal section having side slopes generally of one vertical on two horizontal and a depth, from design-profile water surface (elevation 621 feet above sea level at the junction of Camp- bell and Twelve Mile Roads and 598 feet at the junction with South Branch) to bottom, of 13 feet; with bottom widths of 40 feet up- stream from the junction of Bear Creek, 80 feet below Bear Creek, 100 feet below Beaver Creek, and 125 feet below Plum Brook; with necessary local modifications of side slopes and rectifications of aline- ment of the channel. The plan of improvement will give substantially complete protec- tion against such damage as has occurred in the past and will result in an increase in the value of property in the areas subject to flooding. The existing project was approved by the Flood Control Act approved June 30, 1948. (See H. Doc. 628, 80th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published maps.)

RENO BEACH-HOWARD FARMS AREA, LUCAS COUNTY, OHIO Location. The Reno Beach-Howard Farms area comprises 2,120 acres of land located on the south shore of Lake Erie, about 15 miles east of Toledo, Ohio. The area lies between the mouth of Cooley Creek on the west and Wards Canal on the east, and has a lake front- age of 15,400 feet. Existing project. This provides for (plan "A") the construction of 8,200 lineal feet of roadway sea wall, consisting of an earth dike, faced on the lakeward side with a quarry-run stone fill; and for a steel sheet pile floodwall connecting the easterly end of the sea wall at Wards Canal to the existing inland dike paralleling the canal. However, provision is made that, if local interests pay the differ- ence in cost, a more costly plan of improvement (plan "B") may be substituted for the project described above, at the time of construc- tion. This alternate project would provide for the construction of an earth dike; for a protecting bulkhead on the lakeward side of the dike, cdnstructed of steel sheet piling; for steel sheet pile groins along that bulkhead and for a steel sheet pile bulkhead connecting the end of the bulkhead of the shore dike at Wards Canal to the existing inland dike paralleling the canal. The plan of improvement will prevent flood damage resulting from windstorms and high stages of water on Lake Erie and will enhance land values. In addition the proposed improvement will add materially to recreational facilities and increase the social secu- rity of the inhabitants. 1910 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 The existing project was approved by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 30, 1948. (See H. Doc. 554, 80th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published maps.) The estimate of Federal cost for new work, revised in 1951, for plan "A" is $402,000. The estimated cost to local interests is $134,000. Local cooperation. The improvement (plan "A") is subject to the condition that no funds shall be expended by the United States until local interests have contributed one-fourth of the total cost of con- struction and have given assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will- (1) Provide without cost to the United States all lands, ease- ments, rights-of-way and borrow areas necessary for the construction of the project, and make all necessary bridge alterations and provides access to all public bathing beaches at their own expense. (2) Hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works. (3) Maintain the entire protective works after completion, includ- ing the existing jetties on the east side of Cooley Creek and on the west side of Wards Canal, the bathing beaches and their protective structures, and a sufficient outlet in Wards Canal to carry the free flow into Lake Erie at all times, all in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. The improvement (plan "B") is subject further to the condition that, if at the time of construction local interests desire construction of plan "B", that plan may be substituted for plan "A" subject to the same conditions of local cooperation as prescribed for plan "A" and in addition to the condition that local interests make a further cash contribution toward the cost of construction equal to the differ- ence in the cost at the time of construction between plan "B" and plan "A". Local interests have signified their willingness to cooperate in the plan of improvement. Operations and results during fiscal year. The preparation of the definite project report was suspended for the duration of the emer- gency. The costs were $1,028.78, all for new work. The expenditures were $1,149.66. Condition at end of fiscal year. No construction work has been done. The total costs and expenditures to date, all for advanced planning for new work, have been $4,467. Proposed operations. No work is scheduled for fiscal years 1952 and 1953.

This harbor is located in the southeasterly portion of Sandusky Bay, 55 miles westerly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 365.) Previous projects. Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 11, 1844; June 23, 1866; March 3, 1873; July 5, 1884; August 11, 1888; and August 18, 1894. For further details, see page 1960 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1574 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for the following: a. An outer channel 400 feet wide and 21 feet deep from deep water in Lake Erie through Sandusky Bay, a distance of about 31/2 miles, to the city water-front docks. b. A channel along the water front about 7,800 feet long, 300 feet wide, and 22 feet deep ending in a turning basin generally 800 feet wide and 22 feet deep, and a dike constructed with the excavated rock on the north side of the channel and basin. c. Maintaining a channel to a depth of 22 feet from the turning basin northward about 3,540 feet, that portion opposite the Pennsyl- vania Railroad coal wharf to a width of 350 feet, and north thereof to a width of 400 feet; thence 300 feet wide northeastward through Sandusky Bay about 7,700 feet, to a junction with the straight chan- nel; 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 fluctua- tions of water level are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low- water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 6 feet above to 2.5 feet below that plane. The actual cost for new work was $2,597,258 (excluding $325,000 contributed by local interests), exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (July 1951) approved estimate of an- nual cost of maintenance is $92,000.

RIVERS AND IIARBORS---BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1915 Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. There is an extensive coal terminal, consisting of three docks, adjacent to the turning basin at the westerly end of the dock channel open to shippers of coal. Located on the dock channel are 10 private terminals for the handling of sand and gravel, fish, miscellaneous freight, and passengers. The city of Sandusky owns a pier and two small boat basins. A yacht-club dock and sev- eral other privately owned servicing and storage docks are for recre- ational and other small craft. Two docks for passenger boats are located at Cedar Point. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 8, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Government plant and hired labor removed 253,206 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the straight, bay, and outer bar channel at a cost of $63,943.21 for maintenance. The expenditures were $63,195.85. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1935 at a cost of $2,922,258 (including $325,000 contributed by local interests). The protecting works are generally in poor condi- tion. The east jetty has settled from its original elevation of 4.3 feet to about 1 or 2 feet above low-water datum and in some places has settled to below low-water datum. The stone in the dike has disin- tegrated and settled. In many places the dike is down to low-water datum. The controlling depth in the straight, outer bar, and bay channels is 21 feet and in the dock channel and turning basin 20 feet at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $3,742,276.98 of which $2,597,258.21, including $599,500 Public Works funds was for new work and $1,145,018.77 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $3,741,529.62 including $599,500 Public Works funds. In addi- tion, $325,000 was expended from contributed funds for nc w work. Proposed operations.

The American Shipbuilding Co. has drydocks and facilities for building and repairing the largest lake vessels. A yacht-club dock and several other privately owned servicing and storage docks are for recrea- tional and other small craft. The city of Lorain owns two docks without rail connections which are open to the public. The facilities are regarded as adequate for existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 8, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Plans and specifications, by hired labor, for deepening the turning basin in the bend of Black River immediately upstream from the former site of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad coal dock to 20 feet below low-water datum were completed at a cost of $2,423.42. Maintenance: Government plant and hired labor removed 376,025 cubic yards of material and minor obstructions at a cost of $107,162 and made repairs to the east breakwater at a cost of $22,215. The total cost for the year was $131,800.36 of which $2,423.42 was for new work and $129,376.94 for maintenance. The total expendi- tures were $131,524.15. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 98 percent complete. An outer harbor has been provided by construct- ing breakwaters and pierheads completed in 1915, except the exten- sion of the west breakwater to shore, which was completed in 1921. A channel through the outer harbor to the entrance to Black River was deepened to 25 feet in 1937, also a channel 16 feet deep to 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 in 1934. The river channel and turning basin opposite the National Tube Co. dock were deep- ened to project depth in 1937 and 1938 and the turning basin widened in 1944. The work to be done to complete the project consists of deepening the turning basin in the bend of the Black River immediately up- stream from the former site of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad coal dock. The protection works are generally in poor condition. The shore- ward section of the west breakwater which was completed in 1921 has disintegrated and settled and in places is below low-water datum. At various locations on the lake face of the lakeward section of the west breakwater stones have shifted, leaving holes in the wall and in many sections of the east breakwater, the stones above water have deteriorated and shifted. The concrete superstructure of the East Pier is badly deteriorated. The controlling depth was 25 feet in the channel through the outer harbor, 24 feet in the river channel to the upper end of the National Tube Co. dock, 16 feet in the outer harbor channel to the municipal pier, and 17 feet in the turning basin opposite the National Tube Co. dock, all at low-water datum.

Several yacht-club docks and numerous other pri- vately owned servicing and storage docks are for recreational and other small craft. The facilities are considered adequate for the ex- isting commerce. (See Lake Series No. 5, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preparation of detailed plans and specifications for replacement or pier recon- struction of the railroad bridges and deepening Cuyahoga and Old Rivers was continued by hired labor and contract at a cost of $122,- 890. Construction of bridge No. 25 over Cuyahoga River, by contract, was continued, at a cost of $493,329. Construction of bridge No. 8 over Cuyahoga River, by contract, was commenced and the cost for the year was $375,176. Maintenance: Government plant and hired labor removed 222,694 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depths in the outer harbor and entrance channel at a cost of $68,466 and made repairs to the east breakwater and east pier at a cost of $179,592. Mainte- nance of the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers and outer harbor was con- tinued and 598,764 cubic yards of material removed by contract at a cost of $428,344. The total cost for the year was $1,667,796.39 of which $991,393.83 was for new work and $676,402.56 for mainte- nance. The total expenditures were $1,358,778.91. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 31 percent complete. The river entrance channel has been improved by the construction of parallel piers 325 feet apart and dredging to a depth of 25 feet at low-water datum up to the New York Central Railroad bridge. The piers were completed in 1900 and the dredging in 1935. An outer harbor, about 1,300 acres in extent, has been formed by the construction of an aggregate length of about 30,000 feet of breakwater, including converging arms, completed in 1915. The main entrance has been widened to 700 feet and protected by con- verging arms extending lakeward from the east and west breakwaters, completed in 1908. The outer harbor was deepened, 1933 to 1935, to 25 feet at low-water datum throughout the west basin, in the en- trance channel, and over a portion of the east basin adjacent to the entrance channel; over the remaining portion of the east basin a depth of 23 feet at low-water datum has generally been secured. Portions of the channel in Cuyahoga River were widened each year from 1939 to 1942. Removal of 150 feet of easterly end of west break- water and construction of 400 feet of spur breakwater to protect the gap in the west breakwater shore arm were completed in 1935. A concrete base for a light tower was constructed at east end of east breakwater in 1917 in lieu of the east-end pierhead. Providing a 1,300-foot extension of the Cuyahoga River channel to the present project limit was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, and partially completed with Defense Plant Corporation funds during 1942. The harbor structures require extensive repairs. Completing the remainder of the channel extension, widening portions of the Cuyahoga River, deepening Cuyahoga and Old 1926 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Rivers to 23 feet, and replacement or pier reconstruction of seven railroad bridges remain to be done to complete the project. The controlling depth in the main entrance channel, through the west basin, and between the piers was 25 feet and in the channel through the east basin, 23 feet. Depths elsewhere in the east basin within the project area range from 10 to 30 feet. The controlling depth in the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers was 21 feet, and in the turn- ing basin, 18 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $15,202,555.23, of which $7,470,321.95, including $616,767.03 Public Works funds, was for new work and $7,732,233.28, including $125,000 Public Works funds, for maintenance. The total expenditures were $14,750,133.43, includ- ing $741,767.03 Public Works funds. In addition $50,000 was ex- pended from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.

The River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, requires local interests to contribute $304,000 toward the cost of extending the breakwater 4,000 feet and dredge the channel of ap- proach to their terminal at their own expense. The River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930, waived the condition requiring local in- terests to contribute to the cost of the breakwater extension. The condition requiring dredging has not been complied with. The act of July 24, 1946, provides for the 8-foot channel subject to the condition that local interests agree to hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from the improvement. This condition has not been complied with. All other conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities. One coal dock does a general public business. Two limestone docks, two limestone and sand and gravel docks, six fish docks, and one dock equipped with a derrick for handling small 1930 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 pleasure craft are privately owned. There are no publicly owned terminals. The facilities are regarded as adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 9, 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Government plant and hired labor removed 166,259 cubic yards of material and minor ob- structions from the outer harbor, river channel and turning basin for restoration of project depths at a cost of $52,461.73 for mainte- nance. The expenditures were $50,880.29. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 99 percent complete. A length of 400 linear feet of the inner end of the east pier has been repaired with steel sheet piling and sand filled. The river entrance has been improved by the construction of an east pier completed in 1904, and the removal of the old west pier and construction of the bulkhead, completed in 1939. The east break- water was completed in 1931 and the west breakwater in 1935. The river channel was deepened to project depths and the turning basin was excavated in 1939. The outer harbor was deepened and the river channel was widened at its mouth in 1940. The harbor structures require repairs. The concrete cap of two cells of the cellular section of the west breakwater require replace- ment. At several places along the remainder of the west breakwater and along the east breakwater the slope stone has disintegrated and settled. The inner 274 feet of the east pier requires replacement and the outer end of the structure requires repairs. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the deepening to 8 feet of the westerly portion of the channel in Grand River at the upper end of the 21-foot channel. The controlling depth is 25 feet in the outer harbor, 24 feet in the river channel for 3,700 feet upstream from the outer end of the east pier, thence 21 feet in the river channel upstream to the project limit and 18 feet in the turning basin. All depths are referred to low- water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $3,892,804.07, of which $2,496,653.97, including $187,772.04 Public Works funds, was for new work and $1,396,150.10 for maintenance.

A yacht-club dock and several other privately owned servicing and storage docks are for recreational and other small craft. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing com- merce. (See Lake Series No. 9, 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Government plant and hired labor removed 193,864 cubic yards of material and minor ob- structions for the restoration of project depths in the channels at a cost of $45,906 and made repairs to the west breakwater at a cost of $36,890. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $82,795.34. The total expenditures were $82,201.10. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 96 percent complete. The west breakwater was completed in 1915 except 580 feet of the inner end which was completed in 1923, and 600 feet of the outer end which was completed in 1935. The east breakwater was completed in 1915; 800 feet of the westerly end was removed, and a lakeward extension of 700 feet was completed in 1935. The old inner east breakwater 1,200 feet long was completed in 1909, and the westerly 600 feet was removed in 1913 and 350 feet in 1935. The 18- and 16-foot sections of the river channel and the turning basin were deepened to project depth in 1939. The channel through the outer harbor, the approach channel to the New York Central Rail- road Co.'s slip and the channel in Ashtabula River to a point 2,000 feet upstream from its mouth were deepened to project depths in 1940. The harbor structures require repairs. Portions of both the east breakwater.and the west breakwater where the slope stone has pulled away, the core stone has washed away, and the deck stones have dropped, require major repairs. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of deepening the upper 1,550 feet of the river channel and the con- ditional removal of the east inner breakwater. The portion of the outer harbor to be maintained to 21 feet has not been deepened to that depth, shale rock being above project depth over a portion of the area. The controlling depth is 25 feet in the channel through the outer harbor lakeward of the inner breakwater, 24 feet shoreward thereof, 20 feet in the east basin, 24 feet in the approach channel to the New York Central Railroad Co.'s slip, and in the Ashtabula River channel to a point 2,000 feet upstream from its mouth, 18 feet to the upper car-ferry slip, and 16 feet up to and including the turning basin.

Two piers have been con- structed at the mouth of the Conneaut River. Removal of west pier and 459 feet of east pier was completed in 1934. The east pier is now 1,008 feet long. A channel through the outer harbor was dredged to 25 and 26 feet in 1938. The inner 1,200 feet of the west breakwater has settled approxi- mately 6 feet to an average elevation of 4 feet above low-water datum. The inner 900 feet was built up to its original elevation during 1941 to 1949. At several places along the remainder of the west breakwater and along the east breakwater the slope stone along the lakeside is disintegrating and pulling away and the deck stone is settling. Other harbor structures are generally in fair condition. The controlling depth in the channel through the outer harbor is 25 feet below low-water datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to deepen a 320-foot wide strip on the west- erly side of the deepened channel through the outer harbor to 25 feet in soft material and 26 feet in hard material, and to deepen the re- mainder of the outer harbor to 20 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $4,112,268.11, of which $3,270,446.92, including $1,010,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $841,821.19 for maintenance.

For further details see page 1965 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1600 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for the following: a. An entrance channel 25 feet deep in soft material and 26 feet deep in hard material, 500 feet wide lakeward of the entrance piers, and 300 feet wide between the piers and into the harbor. b. A channel of the same depths and 600 feet wide from the en- trance channel to a line 50 feet outside of the pierhead line at the ore terminal, suitably widened at the junction with the entrance channel. c. A harbor area 21 feet deep, approximately 117 acres, extending westerly from the 600-foot channel for a distance of about 2,100 feet to a line perpendicular to the harbor line 200 feet west of the city dock, with its southerly side 50 feet from the harbor line. d. An approach channel 23 feet deep and 300 feet wide from the 25-foot channel to and including a turning basin of the same depth 1,200 feet long by 1,000 feet wide at the westerly docks. e. An additional harbor area 18 feet deep, of about 35 acres, ex- tending westerly from the 21-foot area and northerly from the har- bor line off the public dock to natural deep water in the bay. 1938 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 f. For harbor entrance piers 360 to 450 feet apart, of the timber- crib type, with concrete superstructure extending to the 14-foot con- tour in the lake, the north pier to have a length of about 3,248 feet and the south pier to have a length of about 2,215 feet, further exten- sion lakeward of the north pier is to be made when required to meet advance of said contour. g. A timber-crib breakwater 1,200 feet long (original length, 2,530 feet) with stone superstructure, extending from the inner end of the south pier toward the mainland to maintain a closure at the eastern end of the harbor and for plant growth and emergency protection work on the peninsula. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctua- tions of water level are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low- water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 5.9 feet above to 2.7 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951, is $2,993,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest ap- proved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $73,000 (July 1951).

Providing an approach channel 23 feet deep, including. a turning basin, to the westerly docks is subject to the condition that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Sec- retary of the Army that they will: Provide and maintain a coal dumper and slip so that full utilization can be made of the improve- ment; lower the waterworks intake line where necessary; and hold and save the United States free from all claims for damages inci- dental to the work or maintenance thereof. These conditions have not been complied with. Prior conditions have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities. The developed water front has a length of about 2 miles. Two groups of terminals have been established along RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1939 this harbor frontage. The westerly group consists of three piers, one of which is used for sand and stone, one for petroleum products, and one for sand and petroleum products. The easterly group con- sists of one terminal for iron ore, limestone and coal, one for petro- leum, one for coal, one for pulpwood, one for sand and stone, one grain elevator, and one municipal pier used as a passenger terminal. There are two small-boat basins in which there are docks for fish, marine repair work, and small pleasure craft. The facilities are con- sidered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Government plant and hired labor removed 229,697 cubic yards of material and minor ob- structions for restoration of project depths in the channel-sand basin area at a cost of $44,043 and made repairs to the south pier at a cost of $26,988. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $71,030.98. The total expenditures were $70,915.72. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 41 percent complete. The breakwater and piers were completed in 1915. A 3,050- foot section of rubble-mound protection work on the peninsula was completed in 1921, 5,281 feet of steel sheet piling protection work with stone facing were completed in 1930, and two experimental 300-foot stone groins and about 1,385 feet of stone protection work at beach 2 were completed in 1943. The construction of 2,750 feet of stone protection work, just north of the Kelso groin, was completed in 1944. The 18-foot harbor basin was deepened in 1900. Widening and straightening of the entrance channel was completed in 1936. The deepening of the entrance channel and the approach channel to the easterly docks to 25 feet, except for small triangular areas along, the southeasterly and southwesterly limits of the approach channel, was completed in 1939. The 21-foot harbor basin was deepened in 1940. The harbor structures are generally in poor condition. In approxi- mately 1,040 feet of the north pier the concrete superstructure has disintegrated, 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. A length of 40 linear feet of the south pier has been reinforced and repaired with steel sheet piling and concrete. In approximately 2,000 linear feet of the steel sheet piling bulkhead with stone facing adjacent to the mainland, Presque Isle protection works, constructed in 1930, the stone facing has settled, leaving the piling exposed to wave action from the lake. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of dredging an approach channel and turning basin to the westerly docks, deepening the remaining portion of the approach channel to the easterly docks, and the conditional extension of the north pier. There is a controlling depth of 25 feet at low-water datum in the entrance channel and in the approach channel to the docks at the easterly end of the harbor, 15 feet to docks at the westerly end, and 21 feet to the public docks, foot of State Street. The total costs and expenditures of the existing project were $3,793,530.28 of which $768,075.02 was for new work and $3,025,455.26 for maintenance. In addition there was a cost and expenditure of $154,500 from contributed funds for maintenance. 1940 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Proposed operations.

Local cooperation. Deepening the south portion of the harbor and the south entrance channel to 25 feet, and removal of the shoals in lake approach to a depth of 27 feet are subject to the condition that local interests afford satisfactory assurances that the improvement of the ore and limestone terminal at the southern end of the outer harbor and the inner channels leading thereto, to fully utilize the increased depth afforded, will be undertaken to an extent sufficient to justify the cost of the improvement by the Federal Government. These assurances have been furnished and approval is anticipated in the ensuing fiscal year. The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, modified the above requirement to permit deepening and maintaining to 23 feet of the shallow, undredged strip along the breakwater and the triangular area in the southerly outer harbor until such time as local interests meet prescribed local cooperation for dredging tq 25 feet. All other conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities. There are approximately 50 terminals for the handling of all types of cargoes. The most important cargoes han- dled are iron ore, coal, grain, limestone, sand and gravel, steel prod- ucts, scrap, flour, petroleum products, automobiles and sulfur. In general, the terminals operated by the railroads and lake-transporta- tion companies and most of the grain elevators are open to the pub- lic. The city of Buffalo owns two wharves, which are used as auto- mobile terminals. The American Shipbuilding Co. has a drydock and facilities for repairing lake vessels. There are also several pri- vately owned marine service, mooring and supply docks for lake vessels and smaller boats. 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: Dredging and rock excavation, by contract, for deepening of portions of Buffalo River (second stage) was completed at a cost of $1,029. Plans and specifications, by hired labor, for deepening portions of the Buffalo River and the Buffalo River entrance channel (third stage) by hired labor, were completed, and dredging and rock excavation, by con- tract, commenced, at a cost of $461,001. Plans and specifications, by hired labor, for deepening portions of Buffalo River (stage III B), were completed at a cost of $1,133. 1946 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Maintenance: Government plant and hired labor removed obstruc- tions from the Buffalo River entrance channel, north entrance chan- nel and outer harbor at a cost of $16,414, and removed 242,484 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depths in the Buffalo River entrance channel and outer harbor at a cost of $56,340. Main- tenance of the Buffalo River and ship canal, by contract was con- tinued and 152,466 cubic yards of material were removed for resto- ration of project depths at a cost of $139,089. The total cost for the year was $675,006.16 of which $463,163.20 was for new work and $211,842.96 for maintenance. The total ex- penditures were $612,655.10. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 27 percent complete. The Stony Point breakwater was completed in 1899, a 1,000-foot extension was completed in 1914; 1,200 feet of the shore end was sold to the Lackawanna Steel Co. in 1918, and another 1,000-foot extension was completed in 1935. The south breakwater was completed in 1903, and a 300-foot extension was completed in 1935. The north breakwater was completed in 1901, the old break- water in 1893, and the south pier in 1869. The 23-foot project area in the outer harbor and in the north-end entrance channel has been deepened to project depth except for strips 50 feet wide along the harbor line and 180 feet wide between the Superior Grain Corp.'s and the Merchants Refrigerating Co.'s piers. Buffalo River entrance 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 where the slope stone on the lakeside has been displaced, portions of the 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. The controlling depth in the northerly part of the outer harbor is 23 feet and in the north and south entrance channels is 21 feet. Controlling depth in the Buffalo River channel is 20 feet, and in the southerly portion of the outer harbor it is 21 feet, at low-water datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of the removal to 27 feet of three small shoals on the direct approach to the south entrance, the deepening of the north entrance channel to 25 feet in earth and 26 feet in rock, completion of deepening the Buffalo River entrance and Buffalo River and Ship Canal to 22 feet in earth and 23 feet in rock, and deepening of the 25-foot project area in the southerly part of the outer harbor and the remainder of the 23-foot outer harbor area all to project depths. The total cost of the existing project was $7,969,521.29, of which $4,150,320.55, including $655,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $3,819,200.74 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $7,812,330.52. In addition, there was a cost and expenditure of $390,- 000 from contributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.

BLACK ROCK CHANNEL AND TONAWANDA HARBOR, N. Y. Location. This improvement is essentially that of the upper 131/2 miles of the Niagara River from its head at Lake Erie, Buffalo, N. Y., to and including Tonawanda Harbor, N. Y. It comprises the improvements formerly designated by three titles, viz. Lake Erie entrance to Black Rock Harbor and Erie Basin, N. Y., Black Rock Harbor and Channel, N. Y., and Tonawanda Harbor and Niagara River, N. Y. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 312.) Previous projects. Lake Erie section, none. The original project for Black Rock Harbor and Channel was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1829. The original project for Tonawanda Harbor and Niagara River was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. For further details see items 5 and 7, page 1970, of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1612 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 21 feet deep from Buffalo Harbor, north entrance channel, to opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, total length 131/2 miles, as follows: From Buffalo north entrance channel to the, foot of Maryland Street, Buffalo, a distance of about 4,200 feet about 1,000 to 500 feet wide, with a short branch channel leading to Erie Basin; thence 350 feet wide, narrow- ing to 200 feet wide, 500 feet northwest; thence generally 200 feet wide through Black Rock Channel to the ship lock at the foot of Bridge Street, a distance of 3.3 miles, widening at the curve opposite the foot of Porter Avenue and at the angle immediately south of the International Bridge. From the lock the channel is 400 feet wide in the Niagara River to the natural deepwater pool at the upstream end of Rattlesnake Island, a distance of 3.4 miles; thence through natural deep water to the downstream end of the deep-water pool at the Tonawanda waterworks intake crib, a distance of about 4.7 miles, widened to 500 feet opposite the Colorado Iron & Fuel Corp.'s plant by the removal of 200 feet of the westerly end of Rattlesnake RIVERS AND HAR1ORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1949 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 improvement and extension of the guide pier; and for the repair of the towpath wall. The project depth in the canal is referred to low-water datum in Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The project depth in the river is referred to the river surface when Lake Erie is at low-water datum. Ordinary fluctuations of water level above the lock are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations produced by winds and other causes are about 9 feet above to 31/ feet below that plane. River fluctua- tions gradually decrease to about 70 percent of fluctuations above the lock when they reach North Tonawanda. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951, is $11,120,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest ap- proved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $300,000 (July 1951) including $200,000 for operating and care.

Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. There are no freight terminals along the chan- nel above the Black Rock lock. Along the upstream end of the channel there are two small boat harbors, one unused seaplane terminal, one Naval Militia dock, two yacht club docks and several other privately-owned servicing and storage docks for recreational and other small craft, and two State- owned barge canal terminals at Erie Basin. Below the Black Rock lock and at Tonawanda Harbor there are six terminals for petroleum products, two for iron ore, stone, and pig iron, two for coal, one for molasses, four for sand and gravel, one for lumber, and one for pulpwood, all of which are private. There are also two State-owned barge canal terminals at Tonawanda, N. Y. There are seven marine service and supply docks for recrea- tional and other small craft. The Corps of Engineers owns a wharf adjacent to the Black Rock lock which is private. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 11, revised 1939, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Government plant and hired labor removed 102,631 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in Black Rock channel and Tonawanda Harbor at a cost of $38,758, swept and removed obstructions from the channels at a cost of $17,502, repaired 155 linear feet of Bird Island Pier at a cost of $3,183, repaired 100 linear feet of the Towpath wall at a cost of $8,707, and dredged to project depth, by contract an area of 22,930 square yards in the Niagara River below the locks at a cost of $70,799. Operating and care: The lock was in continuous operation 275 days and in operation during the day only for 64 days. The lock was closed March 5-30, 1951, inclusive, for underwater cleaning and RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1951 repair. The Ferry Street Bridge was in continuous operation 275 days and in operation during the day only for 90 days. The Signal Station at the foot of West Genesee Street, Buffalo, N. Y., was in continuous operation 266 days and was closed from December 23, 1950, to April 1, 1951, inclusive. The cost for this year was $197,912. Repairs by contract to the upstream 100 linear feet of the lower west guide pier were made at a cost of $37,544. Study by hired labor to consider replacement or modernization of Black Rock lock and ap- purtenant structures' was continued at a cost of $142; in addition, contract plans for repairs to lock wall surface were partially com- pleted at a cost of $470. The total cost for the year was $375,017.61, including $37,544 for improvement and reconstruction of which $236,068 was for operating and care and $138,949 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $350,750.05. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 92 percent complete. The channel from Buffalo Harbor north entrance to opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, is complete. The dif- ferent 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 completed in 1922 and transferred from Buffalo Harbor project in 1945; Lake Erie section was widened at the bend opposite foot of Goergia Street, Buffalo, in 1924; Black Rock Canal section, just south of the International Bridge at Buffalo, in 1928 and opposite the foot of Maryland Street, Buffalo, in 1930; and Niagara River section in the vicinity of the westerly end of the Rattlesnake Island shoal in 1928. Rock shoals extending above a depth of 21.4 feet were removed from the Lake Erie entrance to the canal and in the canal south of Ferry Street Bridge in 1937. Rock shoals extending above a depth of 22 feet were removed from the Lake Erie entrance to the canal, in Black Rock Canal and in the Niagara River portion of the canal in 1948-1949. 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 Bird Island pier were completed in 1936. The lock including wing walls and retaining walls above the lock, was completed in 1914, and the 100-foot east wing wall extension in 1927. The guide pier connecting with the west lower wing wall was completed in 1916, except the 200-foot northerly extension and construction of concrete platform in the angle. The upstream 100 linear feet of the lower West Guide Pier were repaired during 1951. The bridge at Ferry Street was completed in 1914 and the lock-operating houses in 1924. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of the improvement and extension of the guide pier, as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, and widening the Lake Erie entrance to the canal. All structures are in poor condition. Both the towpath wall and Bird Island pier are badly deteriorated and require considerable annual maintenance. Several sections of the towpath wall fail yearly, 1952 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 required removal of stone and debris from the channel and repair of the structure. The operating equipment and controls for the Black Rock lock are antiquated and inefficient. The channel face of the lock walls is badly deteriorated. The upper wing wall of the lock has shifted laterally approximately 2 feet at the maximum point and the concrete superstructure on the lower wing wall is badly cracked indicating a possible failure of the timber-crib. The controlling depths at low-water datum are Black Rock channel 21 feet, 20 feet in the Niagara River section of the channel and in the Tonawanda turning basin, Tonawanda inner harbor 14 feet, and Tonawanda Creek channel, 12 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $14,084,124.04, of which $10,066,019.35, including $1,764,921.94 Emergency Relief funds, was for new work, $1,674,870.45 for maintenance and $2,343,234.24 for operating and care. The total expenditures were $14,057,224.00, in- cluding $1,764,921.94 Emergency Relief funds.

NIAGARA RIVER, N. Y. Location. This improvement covers that portion of the Niagara River from Tondwanda Harbor, N. Y., to Niagara Falls, N. Y., a distance of 71/2 miles, and compensating works near the head of the river. The downstream limit of the improvement is about 16 miles from the mouth of the river at Lake Ontario. (See U. S. Lake Sur- vey Chart No. 312.) Previous projects. Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of July 13, 1892, August 18, 1894, and June 25, 1910. For further details see page 1970 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1619 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 12 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the east channel from the downstream end of the existing 21-foot channel opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, to the upstream end of the 12.7-foot channel near the Niagara Falls waterworks intake crib; and for a channel 12.7 feet deep and from 300 to 400 feet wide from the Navy Island channel (natural) to the foot of Hyde Park Boulevard (formerly called Sugar Street), Niagara Falls, N. Y. The project also provides for the construction of compensating works just above the contracted section of the river at Fort Erie, this work forming a part of the project for deeper channels in the connecting waters of the Great Lakes. The project depths are referred to the river surface when Lake Erie is at low-water datum, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 3 feet 1954 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 above to low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 51/2 feet above to 11/2 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951, is $2,688,000, including $700,000 for compensating works, but is exclusive of $27,- 562.50 contributed by local interests, and amounts expended on pre- vious projects. The latest approved estimate of cost of annual main- tenance is $9,000 (July 1951) of which $5,000 is for maintenance of the compensating works.

Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 40 percent complete. The east channel from North Tonawanda to the Niagara Falls waterworks intake and Schlossers Channel from Niagara Falls waterworks intake to the foot of Hyde Park Boule- vard were completed in 1934. The work remaining to be done is the construction of the compensating works just above the contracted section of the river at Fort Erie. The controlling depth in the chan- nels is 11.4 feet at low-water datum. The total cost and expenditures of the existing project were $535,- 459.54, of which $463,386.62, including $94,512.24 Public Works funds, was for new work and $72,072.92 for maintenance. In addi- tion, $27,562.50 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations. No work is scheduled during the fiscal year 1952. The sum of $6,000 can be profitably expended for condition surveys and obstruction removal in the channel by Government plant for maintenance during the fiscal year 1953.

Modifications of the ex- isting project to provide for: a detached breakwater 850 feet long at the harbor entrance, and the removal of shoals to a depth of 25 feet below low water datum in the approach to the entrance all at an estimated cost of $1,811,000 for construction and $5,000 annually for maintenance in addition to that now required, have been recom- mended in House Document No. 487, Eighty-first Congress, second session. Local cooperation. The act of June 30, 1948, provides for con- struction of the east outer harbor provided local interests give assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will pro- vide without cost to the United States all necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction of the project and subsequent maintenance, as and when required; hold and save the United States free from damage due to the construction and subse- quent maintenance of the project; construct a wharf about 1,300 feet long, including the necessary extension of the water intake line, in accordance with plans approved by the Chief of Engineers, and construct handling and storage facilities of such design and capacity as to insure expeditious handling and adequate storage for the wood pulp required by paper mills in the vicinity, and for prospective commerce in soybeans; dredge and maintain the area between the, project limit and wharf face to project depth; and agree to receive, handle, and store, at reasonable and equal terms to all, the wood pulp requirements of paper' mills in the vicinity. Assurances of local cooperation were furnished and submitted for approval. The assurances were returned without action because they were not in strict accordance with the requirements. Negotiations are in progress to obtain the revised assurances. All prior conditions have been com- plied with. Terminal facilities. One coal terminal and two State-owned termi- nals for grain and barge canal traffic are open to the public. Two terminals for coal, one for cement, one for pulpwood, and one for fish are private. One dock owned by the State naval militia and one by the city of Oswego are used by recreational craft. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Government plant and hired labor removed 24,082 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in the outer harbor at a cost of $10,485, and made repairs to the west arrowhead breakwater at a cost of $23,224. The total cost for the year was $33,708.47 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $34,177.65. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about- 30 percent complete. The west outer breakwater was completed in 1882 and was originally 6,032 feet long with a 119-foot gap near the westerly end but was reduced to 4,359 feet in 1931 and the gap was closed in 1942. The west arrowhead breakwater was completed in 1931 and the east arrowhead breakwater in 1932. The old lighthouse pier, a part of the west inner breakwater and the upper and lower islands in Oswego River were removed in 1931. A depth of 21 feet was obtained in Oswego River to within 50 feet of the harbor line RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1965 and in the outer harbor east of the Lackawanna coal dock except a strip about 200 feet wide along the harbor line east of the mouth of the river in 1932. The channel in Oswego River was widened to the harbor lines in 1937. A channel 16 feet deep and 100 feet wide with a turning basin at its westerly end was dredged in 1932 in the outer harbor west of the Lackawanna coal dock. The channel was widened to 250 feet and deepened to 21 feet below low-water datum in 1948. The breakwaters are generally in fair condition except that the riprap protection along the lake side of the old west breakwater for a length of approximately 1,000 feet has settled and a 400-foot portion of the concrete section has disintegrated and broken, slope stone in a 400-foot section of the west arrowhead breakwater has disintegrated and settled, and the core stone in a 1,500-foot section of the west breakwater has settled in many places. A depth of 21 feet at low-water datum is available in the Oswego River to the north line of Seneca Street and in the outer harbor east of the Lackawanna coal dock except in a 200-foot-wide strip along the harbor line east of the mouth of the Oswego River which has a controlling depth of 18 feet. The 250-foot channel in the outer har- bor west of the Lackawanna coal dock and the turning basin have a controlling depth of 21 feet at low-water datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is the deepening of the 200-foot strip along the harbor line east of the Oswego River, deepening the remainder of the outer harbor west of the Lackawanna coal dock and construction of the east outer harbor. The total cost of the existing project was $4,954,706.12, of which $4,260,354.32 was for new work and $694,351.80 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $4,955,294.93. Proposed operations.

LAKE SURVEY Survey of Northern and Northwestern Lakes This district embraces the United States portion of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River drainage basin, Lake Champlain, the lakes and other naturally navigable waters of the New York canal system, and the Minnesota-Ontario border lakes. In addition, contiguous Canadian areas are included where essential to the integrity of chart- ing and other activities. The region thus covered, in which operations are conducted for the benefit of navigation and other interests, lies within the states of Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illi- nois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota and in the province of Ontario. The Great Lakes portion alone covers 61,000 square miles of United States waters and 4,000 miles of United States coastline. The Lake Cham- plain portion covers 430 square miles and 560 miles of coastline of that lake. The additional New York state portion stretches 62 miles along the canalized waters of the state from the south end of Lake Champlain along the Hudson River to the head of tidewater at Albany and 333 miles westward from Troy at the confluence of the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers along the Erie Canal to Lyons, along the Oswego Canal to Oswego and along the Cayuga and Seneca Canal into the Finger Lakes. The Minnesota-Ontario border lakes portion reaches about 300 miles from Lake Superior to and including Lake of the Woods in the Hudson Bay drainage basin. District engineer: Lt. Col. John D.

In the region described, previous projects of the Lake Survey have specified provision of complete navigation charts designed to suit the needs of existing use of the waters. These proj- ects in addition to hydrographic and topographic surveys contem- plated the establishment of the requisite horizontal and vertical con- trol, where not already in existence, and measurement and analysis of other factors pertaining to navigation. The most recent compre- hensive statement concerning prior projects on the Great Lakes and formulation of "a general project covering to completion the opera- tions of the Survey" appeared in the Annual Report for 1907, pages 844 to 850. The Sundry Civil Act of March 4, 1911 extended the charting responsibility to include the lakes and other naturally navigable waters of the New York Canals. The project extension contemplated 1991 1992 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 compilation of navigation charts of the added waters from all exist- ing survey data pertaining thereto, supplemented by such additional surveys as might be required. The scope of responsibility was again extended by the Sundry Civil Act of June 23, 1913 to include Lake Champlain and again by the Sundry Civil Act of August 1, 1914 to include the Minnesota- Ontario boundary waters from Lake Superior to Lake of the Woods. Here, as in the extension to the New York Canals, the project ex- tensions contemplated compilation of charts from existing surveys, supplemented by additional surveys as required. Responsibilities of the Lake Survey apart from the charting and navigational aspects consist, in the Great Lakes portion of the region covered, of those pertaining to lake levels, hydrology, and hydraulics of the connecting and outflow rivers. The 1907 Annual Report, re- ferred to above in connection with the charting and navigational portions of the project, also discusses prior and existing responsi- bilities in these respects. A board appointed by the Division Engineer, Great Lakes Divi- sion, to study and clarify Lake Survey activities in this second cate- gory formulated a report which included definite recommendations. The board report was presented to the Chief of Engineers and ap- proved on January 21, 1935 as the basic description of such respon- sibilities. The report thus is the foundation for the continuing activi- ties of the Lake Survey relating to lake levels, hydrology, and hydraulics. It is to be noted that these activities do not include the waters separate from the Great Lakes, which were added for chart- ing only. Existing project. The existing project concerned with charting provides for general maintenance of chart coverage. Various classes of charts are issued, consisting essentially of general charts employ- ing small scales suitable for the needs of open-lake navigation; coastal, river, and sectional charts employing medium scales afford- ing greater detail for closer navigation in the areas covered; harbor and confined locality charts employing large scales showing details pertinent to the restricted navigation involved; and special charts such as those of the Minnesota-Ontario border lakes employing scales suitable to the purposes intended. The number of charts and indi- vidual chart scale and coverage are not fixed. Changing require- ments of navigation renders existing charts unnecessary, alters cov- erage and scale requirements, and makes new charts desirable. Within the region assigned for charting, the project is flexible in permitting alterations to keep abreast of changing needs. Closely related to charting, but pertinent to lake levels and hy- draulics as well, is the project relating to horizontal and vertical control. The original control was established under the early proj- ects in connection with the original surveys, by the Lake Survey on the Great Lakes and by other government agencies in the other areas of the district. The original control has been preserved wherever possible; where destroyed it has been replaced and where necessary it has been augmented by additional control for use in connection with later surveys and other Corps of Engineers work. Actually, the Lake Survey has been required to do but little of this work out- U. S. LAKE SURVEY 1993 side of the Great Lakes area. Present efforts are directed toward preservation of both horizontal and vertical control by periodic re- covery of monuments, replacement where found destroyed, checking of elevations by instrumental means and water transfers, and aug- mentation where required for Lake Survey and Great Lakes Divi- sion activities. In the same connection, necessary readjustments are made as indicated to correlate Lake Survey control with nationwide. control networks of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. The project includes publications of information for the benefit of navigation, additional to that provided by the charts. These con- sist primarily of the Great Lakes Pilot and the Supplements thereto. The Pilot, issued annually, supplies full descriptions of physical conditions of the waters charted and the particulars of constantly changing conditions not adapted to adequate or prompt representa- tion on the charts. The Supplement, issued monthly during the navi- gation season, provides corrections and additions to Pilot text, occa- sioned by constantly. changing conditions in the navigational areas. Revisory material for the annual editions of the Pilot and material for the Supplement is collected by Lake Survey sections operating in the field, the various Corps of Engineers Districts having jurisdiction over the waters concerned, and by other United .States and Canadian governmental organizations. Other data collected and disseminated to navigation, or included in the project for future collection and dissemination, consist of such features as magnetic declinations, lake and river bottom character- istics, water temperatures, lake currents, etc. This phase of activity requires field determination, analysis of data, and publication of results. Since 1859, lake level gages installed and operated by the Lake Survey have provided a continuous record of stages of the Great Lakes and their connecting rivers. These records have interest in both the navigational and hydraulic aspects of the work. The pres- ent project provides for continued operation of sufficient gages for these purposes and includes reduction of the records obtained, tabu- lation and study of the data, use in other studies such as that of movement of the earth's crust, and publication of the results in various forms. In the field of hydraulics, the present project provides for con- tinuing studies of all phases relating to the connecting and outflow rivers to affirm the fundamental laws of flow or to determine the changed relationships resulting from changes in river regimen. In addition to the operation of stage recorders, as discussed above, periodic and special measurements of current velocities and river discharges are involved. The fundamental flow relationships deter- mined and the equations derived enter into such studies as lake level regulation, compensations for increases in river capacity caused by channel improvement, diversions for sanitary purposes and power, changes in river capacity resulting from marine construction, wrecks, commercial sand and gravel dredging, and problems of like nature. The hydrology of the lakes included in the present project, in addition to certain factors discussed above, deals with elements such as precipitation over the lake basins, runoff, evaporation from the 1994 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 lakes, ice retardations and effects, and similar phenomena. The work involves compilation of data supplied primarily by other organiza- tions in form to be used in other studies and problems discussed above. The overall responsibility of the Lake Survey involving the meas- urement of lake and river levels, hydraulics, and hydrology, pre- sented as part of the present project in the foregoing paragraphs, is concerned with the preservation of levels of the Great Lakes and with the establishment and maintenance of datum planes for control of Corps of Engineers river and harbor work and for use as planes of reference for navigation charts. Operations and results during fiscal year. Five sections of the Charting and Geodetic Branch were operating in the field on July 1, 1950, conducting surveys relating to charting. Two were engaged in sounding the inshore waters of Lakes Erie and Huron, a third was sounding the offshore waters of Green Bay on Lake Michigan, a fourth was conducting recovery work on stations of the horizontal control network in the vicinity of the St. Marys River, and the Revisory Section was inspecting charts of the St. Marys River prior to extending operations into Lakes Superior and Huron and the St. Clair-Detroit River system as the season progressed. Later in the 1950 field season a sixth section was dispatched to examine and revise the new series of charts of the Minnesota-Ontario border lakes. Operations continued normally to the season's close except that the Lake Erie and Lake Huron inshore sounding surveys were discon- tinued before the end to make personnel and equipment available for assignment to special surveys of the Niagara River on a cooperative basis with Buffalo District. Before the 1951 field season opened, activities of the Lake Survey had been curtailed sharply in consonance with the policy of the President and the Chief of Engineers of accomplishing only those operations of greatest importance to defense and essential civilian requirements. Therefore, only two sections organized field elements to operate during 1951. These consisted of the Revisory Section which commenced inspection of the Lake Erie charts and the Off- shore Section which engaged in the Civil Works Investigations pro- gram of testing the electronic tracking system called Raydist for precision in measuring distances and in locating positions in hydro- graphic surveying and charting. Activities of the Revisory Section are of paramount importance to shipping on the Great Lakes and on other waters charted by the Lake Survey. In each 3-year period, keyed to and immediately prior to the issue of new chart editions, this section examines all critical charted areas in which change is known or suspected to occur, such as in the harbors, the harbor approaches, and in other waters of critical depth for navigation. Where changes are found the indi- cated hydrographic and topographic surveys are made or the re- quired data are collected. The findings are incorporated in the basic charts to prepare the new editions and thus guarantee to mariners that current charts contain all information vital to safe use of the canals, lakes, and rivers. In the following paragraphs segregated according to geographical U. S. LAKE SURVEY 1995 position on the various bodies of water, as noted at paragraph be- ginnings, field work by the various sections of the Charting and Geodetic Branch is consolidated to show total accomplishments during the fiscal year. Lake Superior: Examinations for chart revision were made in all United States waters of the lake. St. Marys River: Examination for chart revision started prior to July 1, 1950 was completed. Horizontal control station recovery was done in the vicinity of Sault Ste. Marie and down the length of the river to Lake Huron. Lake Michigan: Horizontal control station recovery and other control work was done in Green Bay in conjunction with making offshore soundings which were accomplished from the south end of the bay as far north as Chambers Island. Tests were conducted in the northern part of the bay and lake on Civil Works Investigations Project No. 313, Raydist. Lake Huron: Inshore sounding surveys were made on the west shore from Harrisville northward into Thunder Bay and from Point Lookout southward to Rifle River. Examinations for chart revision were made in all United States waters of the lake except at selected harbors where work was accomplished prior to July 1, 1950. St. Clair-Detroit River System: Examinations for chart revision were made of all waters from Lake Huron to Lake Erie. Lake Erie: Inshore sounding was done among the islands in the west end of the lake and westward from Port Clinton into Maumee Bay. Examinations for chart revisions were made in United States waters from the west end of the lake as far eastward as Conneaut. Niagara River: Special surveys were made in cooperation with Buffalo District on the special studies of the river being conducted by that office. Boundary Waters between Lake of the Woods and Lake Superior: The new series of charts from Rainy Lake to Pigeon River were checked and revised by reconnaissance methods. Operations of the Hydraulics and Hydrology Branch relating to recording of levels of the Great Lakes and their connecting rivers consisted in maintenance of 32 gaging sites at 19 of which self- registering instruments were operated and at 13 of which stages were observed and recorded by gage observers. Additional field work by the branch was effected in measuring flows of the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers and velocity distributions in Niagara River above the falls, the latter being made for the special study being conducted by Buffalo District. The customary work of the Hydraulics and Hydrology Branch pertaining to compilations of lake levels and hydraulic and hydro- logic factors was continued. Studies concerning lake levels and hydraulic problems and the effects upon lake levels of changes in regimen were extended. Special studies of regulation of Lake Erie levels were conducted for use in the Niagara River investigation. The Field Printing Plant processed and printed revised editions of 39 charts -during the year from information prepared for processing in the Compilation Branch. Printed stocks of current editions of charts were maintained accurate to the date of sale by manual cor- 1996 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 rection in the Correction Section of the Compilation Branch to show changes in features vital to navigation. There were 48,188 charts sold during the year, the proceeds of sales, amounting to $23,981.00, being deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States. An additional 8,803 charts were issued for official use. The annually revised edition of the Great Lakes Pilot (Bulletin No. 60 for 1951) was prepared by the Lake Survey and printed by the Government Printing Office, becoming available in April 1951. Sup- plement issues Nos. 3 to 7 to Bulletin No. 59 (Great Lakes Pilot for 1950) were prepared and printed by the Lake Survey monthly from July through November 1950. Supplement issues Nos. 1 and 2 to Bulletin No. 60 (Great Lakes Pilot for 1951) were prepared by the Lake Survey and printed by contract in May and June 1951. The number of Bulletins Nos. 59 and 60 sold as agent for the Superintendent of Documents amounted to 1,504 copies. A total of $3,384.00 was collected from their sale and transmitted to that official. An additional total of 522 of the publications was issued for official use. Supplements to the two Bulletins sold amounted to 1,260 sets of seven issues, realizing $315 in sales proceeds. The 522 bulletins issued were accompanied by 522 sets of Supplements, as the latter were published. Hydrographs of Great Lakes levels were sold in the quantity of 243 copies, returning $24.30 in proceeds, and were issued in the quan- tity of 58 copies for official use. In addition to the above publications, mimeographed notices of the monthly mean stages of the Great Lakes and tabulations of other hydraulic and hydrologic factors were sent to individuals, news- papers, vessel interests, industrial interests, and Government agencies in both the United States and Canada to which the information is of concern. The continuing high levels of the Great Lakes greatly increased the volume of inquiries regarding causes and prospects for future lowering. Such inquiries ranged from those of individuals to Congressional investigations. The foregoing operations were all maintenance except those relat- ing to the Civil Works Investigations Project No. 313, Raydist, and those relating to the special Niagara River surveys and studies. The total cost during the year of the regular maintenance operations was $421,395.74, and the total expenditures, after deducting receipts for reimbursements and sales, were $429,051.88. The costs of the Civil Works Investigations program and the Niagra River work were additional to the above. The Civil Works Investigations program was financed by the Detroit District plant account which was reimbursed from Civil Works Investigations funds, the total cost during the year being $15,874.00. The special Niagara River surveys and studies'like- wise were financed by the Detroit District plant account which was reimbursed from special funds allotted to Buffalo District for the project, the total cost during the year being $27,312.15. Condition at end of fiscal year. All new work under the various projects has been completed, and work under the existing project is composed solely of maintenance. The total cost of new work under all projects from inauguration of the survey in 1841 amounted to U. S. LAKE SURVEY 1997 $6,729,811.27. Cost of new work under the existing project was $2,755,913.96 and of maintenance to June 30, 1951 was $5,195,366.51, amounting to a total for the present project in the 45 years since 1907 of $7,951,280.47. The total expenditures under the present proj- ect to June 30, 1951 amounted to $7,939,557.40. At the end of the year publications available for issue to official users and for sale to the general public consisted of 114 charts of the Great Lakes and connecting rivers, 5 charts of Lake Champlain, 7 charts and a volume of 60 small charts of the New York canals, 17 charts of the Minnesota-Ontario border lakes, the Great Lakes Pilot (Bulletin No. 60), the Supplement to the Great Lakes Pilot, and the Hydrograph of Great Lakes Levels. In addition, mimeo- graphed reports of lake levels containing mean elevations of the lakes during the previous month, comparisons with past levels, and forecasts of levels during the current month are mailed early each month to a list of 577 official and private recipients, and tabulations of river discharges, precipitation, and stages at specific locations on the lakes are dispatched regularly to 31 additional receivers, the latter being primarily official. Numerous other tabulations and com- pilations of data in the charting, geodetic, hydraulic, and hydrologic fields are posted currently for use in answer to large numbers of inquiries for such data received each year. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended June 30, 1951, $28,696.52, will be expended as follows: $11,723.07 will be used to satisfy accounts payable and $16,973.45 will be applied to revisory surveys during the month of July which were scheduled for comple- tion prior to July 1, 1951 and not accomplished. All work with these funds will be maintenance, done with Government plant and hired labor. The following tabulation shows the manner in which the unex- pended balance plus an allotment of $300,000, a total of $328,696.52 will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1952: Accounts payable, June 30, 1951____--____________- ___ $11,723.07 Maintenance : Revisory surveys -------------------------------------- 112,973.45 Control surveys --------------------------------------- 34,000.00 Lake levels, hydraulics, and hydrology_________-__-_ 49,000.00 Chart preparation, correction, and distribution--------------- 112,000.00 Bulletin and Supplement, preparation and distribution-------- 9,000.00 Total --------------------------------------------- 328,696.52 Accurate, up to date charts and publications of navigational in- formation are essential to safe use by navigation of the waters charted by the Lake Survey. These can be provided only by a sound program of maintenance developed from long experience, consisting of revisory surveys, renewal of obsolete surveys, and compilation of these surveys and data from many other sources into new editions of the charts and other publications. Likewise, the Lake Survey services in the field of lake levels, hy- draulics, and hydrology are essential to the vital defense commerce of the Great Lakes, and in addition are important in other interests, such as those of water power developments, terminal facilities, shore 1998 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Lake Survey horizontal and vertical control systems are used by many public and private agencies, including the Corps of Engineers districts for construction and maintenance of harbors and channels specified by Congress. Maintenance of these control networks is mandatory for preservation of their worth and can be accomplished only by timely inspections of the stations in the field, replacement of missing units, and computations to relate the systems to nation- wide control systems. For accomplishing the foregoing through operations curtailed to the minimum consistent with national defense and economy, a total of $459,000 will be required during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1953, to be applied as follows: Maintenance : Revisory surveys ------------------------------------------__ $209,000 Control surveys ------------------------------------------- __ 48,000 Lake levels, hydraulics, and hydrology------------------------ 64,000 Chart preparation, correction, and distribution---------------- 126,000 Bulletin and Supplement, preparation and distribution--------- 12,000 __ Total --------------------------------------------------- $459,000 Cost and financial summary Total to une 30, 1951, Fiscal year ending June 30- including fiscal years 1947 1948 1949 1950 1951 prior to 1947 New work: _ ------.

SANTA BARBARA HARBOR, CALIF. Location. This improvement is located on the Pacific coast, 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles Harbor and 320 miles southeast of San Francisco Harbor. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5261.) 1 1 Existing project. This plan of improvement provides for mainte- nance by dredging of depths existing in 1934 in the harbor formed by the breakwater constructed by local interests and permits the maintenance of the harbor by means of a fixed sand-intercepting plant to be provided and operated by and at the expense of local interests; the United States to make available for the operation of the plant an amount not exceeding $30,000 annually, the present approved estimated annual cost of maintenance, whenever funds are allotted for such purposes, provided that there shall be deducted from such funds the actual cost of harbor maintenance found neces- sary, if and when the intercepting plant has been installed. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range of tide 2002 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.4 feet. The extreme range is about 10 feet. The latest (1951) ap- proved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 30, 1935 Maintenance by dredging of the present depths into Senate committee print, 73d Cong., the harbor formed by the breakwater constructed 2d sess. by local interests.

Prior to adoption by Congress, the work was authorized by the Public Works Administration. Local cooperation. No specific local cooperation is required. Local interests have contributed $307,271.57 to date to cover the excess cost of depositing dredged material on the beach, over the estimated cost of similar dredging with disposal at sea. The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, permits maintenance of the harbor by an inter- cepting plant as described above. Terminal facilities. These consist of one wharf 2,200 feet long, a Navy pier 335 feet long, and also a landing float and mooring facili- ties for small craft. The wharf, which is equipped with warehouse, is used by general cargo and fishing boats. Facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of a general hydrographic and topographic survey of the harbor by hired labor. The costs were $488.09 for maintenance.

The improvements authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, are subject to the conditions that local interests contribute $255,000 to the first cost, and that responsible local agencies agree to furnish without cost to the United States suit- able areas 'for the disposal of dredge spoil for the initial work and subsequent maintenance when and as required, and to hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from the improve- ments. Conditions of local cooperation have not been complied with. Local interests state that they expect to be able to guarantee the $255,000 during the fiscal year 1952. In addition to the Federal project requirements the city of New- port Beach and Orange County have expended for dredging and jetty work the sum of $2,544,715 since 1916. Private interests have spent $683,000 for dredging and other harbor work, making the total expenditure for harbor improvements by local interests, $3,277,715, exclusive of the Federal project. Terminal facilities. There are numerous small wharves and land- ings, practically all for yachts. Facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of maintenance survey of the harbor by hired labor. The costs were $495.80 for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,066.67. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 76 percent complete. The units of the project authorized by the Public Works Administration were completed in 1936 at a cost of $1,593,- 793.66, half of which was contributed by local interests.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 2011 Local cooperation. The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides that before any work is undertaken on the turning basin, local interests shall furnish necessary disposal areas and give assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of War and Chief of Engineers that they will deepen areas adjacent to the municipal piers to depth of 35 feet, and that before any work is undertaken on the channel to Chula Vista local interests shall contribute $10,000 in cash. These conditions have been complied with, except in the case-of the chan- nel to Chula Vista. The modification of the project in act of Octo- ber 17, 1940, is subject to the provision that the Chief of Engineers may direct the disposal of dredged materials on lands not under Federal ownership, provided that local interests reimburse the United States for the cost involved in excess of the cost of disposal by the most economical method and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from such disposal. This requirement was accepted by resolution of the city of Coronado, and approved by the Chief of Engineers. The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, requires no local cooperation. Terminal facilities. In San Diego Harbor there are 24,706 linear feet of wharves, exclusive of Government-owned wharves of which 12,716 feet are municipally owned, and 11,990 linear feet by private interests. In addition, there are two wharves at Coronado and one Government-owned wharf at North Island. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.

AR1MY, 1951 protection from floodwaters of San Diego River to facilities and activities which are concentrated in the area between the Government dike and San Diego Bay. The latest (1949) approved estimated cost is $350,000 for con- struction and $20,000 for lands and damages. This improvement was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 635, 77th Cong., 2d sess.) The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, authorized a modification of this project.

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 protection for the city of Tucson, Ariz., and suburban areas by the construction 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 latest (1951) approved estimated cost is $2,671,000 for construction and $993,000 for lands and damages, the latter being a responsibility of local interests. 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 neces- sary rights-of-way; assume responsibility for all damage claims, cost of necessary relocations of public utilities, cost of necessary new highway bridges and highway relocations; and maintain the im- provement after completion. Local interests have been notified of the requirements of local cooperation. The assurances of local coopera- tion were accepted by the Chief of Engineers December 7, 1950. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of preparation of the project plan. The costs were $11,363.33 for new work. The expenditures were $11,591.31. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project plan is partially com- plete. Work remaining consists of preparation of the project plan, contract plans and specifications, and construction. The total costs to June 30, 1951 were $66,054.93 for new work. The expenditures were $66,054.93. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended on June 30, 1951, amounting to $33,945.07 will be applied to preparation of the project FLOOD CONTROL--LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 2049 plan and contract plans and specifications, July 1, 1951 to June 30, 1952.

CRESCENT CITY HARBOR, CALIF. Location. Located 17 miles south of the Oregon State line and midway between San Francisco Bay and the mouth of the Columbia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5895.) Existing project. This provides for a rubble mound breakwater approximately 5,700 feet in length, bearing approximately S 27 ° E. extending from Battery Point to Round Rock, a rubble mound sand barrier from Whaler Island to the easterly shore, an inner break- water extending northwesterly from Whaler Island, so as to form a protected inner harbor, for maintaining, by dredging, a basin 1,800 feet long and 1,400 feet wide to a depth of 20 feet at mean lower low water, except in rock, for the removal of pinnacle rocks in the inner harbor, and for maintenance dredging in the vicinity of the seaward end of the sand barrier. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.9 feet; the extreme range of tide is about 12.3 feet. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951, is $7,389,000 exclusive of $217,116 contributed by local interests. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance, including $5,000 for dredging outside the harbor basin, but exclusive of the cost of maintenance of the inner harbor, is $82,500.

Inner breakwater and removal of rock in inner harbor_ Report on file in Office, Chief of Engineers. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. There are 4 piers in the harbor of which 2 are designated for public use, 2 boat-fueling stations, and a private moor- ing for barges discharging petroleum products to a pipe line located on the inner breakwater. Present plans are to rebuild one of the RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2059 public piers which is in need of considerable repair and which is not in use at the present time. The private pier was severely damaged .by the winter storms and cannot be utilized until repaired. The facilities will be adequate for existing commerce upon completion of the proposed repairs. Operations and results during fiscal year. During the fiscal year, under the continuing contract, as maintenance, 55 salvaged stones, 14,406 tons of new stone, and 3,940 cubic yards of concrete were placed on the main breakwater, repairing damages caused by previous winter storms; as new work, 11,161 tons of stone were placed on the main breakwater in strengthening the outer end, 22,986 cubic yards of concrete were placed in constructing 4,184 linear feet of concrete cap on the main breakwater, and pinnacle rock in the en- trance to the inner harbor was partially removed. At the end of the 1950 construction season, 4,184 feet of the main breakwater was complete with concrete cap except for that portion of the cap located between stations 12 + 34 and 15 + 54. During the winter, severe storms removed the concrete cap and armor stone down to approxi- mately elevation + 3 mean lower low water between stations 37 + 00 and 41 + 84 on the main breakwater. These damages were partially repaired during the 1951 construction season, and by the end of the fiscal year the main breakwater had been completely repaired out to approximately station 37 + 00. The cost of this work was $1,253,- 138.27 for new work and $239,607.72 for maintenance. Condition surveys were performed by hired labor at a cost of $615.31. The total costs were $1,493,361.30, and the expenditures were $1,151,- 535.56, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 73 percent complete. The work remaining to be done consists of com- pleting the extension of the main breakwater to Round Rock and removal of pinnacle rock at the entrance to the inner harbor. The controlling depths in August 1950 were as follows: Main harbor basin, 12 feet at the A. C. Dutton Company wharf, 6 feet at the J. C. Paul wharf, and 16 feet in the outer half of the basin; inner harbor, 12 feet, except in the northeast corner which was 10 feet.

The act of July 3, 1930, requires that local interests provide free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredged materials. This requirement has been fully complied with for new work. 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 ac- cess thereto, and a suitable royalty-free quarry in the locality; and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will 2064 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 provide suitable public facilities and arrangements for the loading and unloading of vessels in Noyo Harbor. These requirements have not been complied with. The act of June 30, 1948 requires that local interests establish a competent public body empowered to regulate the use and develop- ment 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 necessary for construction of the improvement; (b) agrees to hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from construction 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 impound ing 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. These requirements have not been complied with. Terminal facilities. There are no facilities in the harbor proper. In the river above the harbor there are 6 fish-receiving and shipping piers, 4 of which have boat-fueling stations thereon; 5 boat-building and repair plants; 1 boat-fueling and icing terminal; and a number of mooring facilities; all privately owned. These facilities are consid- ered adequate, with the exception of mooring and berthing facilities for fishing boats. Improvement of the project as authorized will pro- vide additional protected area for required facilities. Operations and results during fiscal year. As maintenance, condi- tion surveys and inspections were made by hired labor at a cost of $863.15. The expenditures were $181.27, 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 July 1950 the mid-channel controlling depths were: 11 feet at the entrance to the channel; 6.5 feet between the jetties, thence 9 feet to the head of the completed portion of the project. The cost of the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $195,834.08 for new work and $221,950.31 for maintenance, a total of $417,784.39, and the expenditures were $417,784.39, all from regular funds. Proposed operations. Allotments totaling $3,600 will be applied as maintenance during the fiscal year 1952 to condition surveys and in- spections by hired labor.

Located on the eastern side of San Francisco Bay, oppo- site the city of San Francisco. The inner harbor is situated between the cities of Oakland and Alameda. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5535.) Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1874, June 13, 1902, March 2, 1907, and June 25, 1910. For further details see page 1979 of Annual Report for 1915, page 1755 of Annual Report for 1921, and page 1674 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for an entrance channel to Oakland Outer Harbor, 35 feet deep from deep water in San Francisco Bay and 800 feet wide across the shoal southeast of Yerba Buena Island, thence narrowing to 600 feet at Oakland Mole; thence a channel and turning basin 35 feet deep and from 600 to 950 feet wide in the outer harbor to the Army Base. The project also provides for an entrance channel to Oakland Inner Harbor, 30 feet deep and 800 feet wide at the bay- ward end, narrowing to 600 feet wide at the ends of the Oakland jetties; a channel from the ends of the jetties 30 feet deep and 600 feet wide to the west end of Government Island, with additional widening to the pierhead line in front of the Grove and Market Street (formerly municipal) piers, and widening to within 75 feet of the pierhead line RIVERS AND HARBORS-SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2079 along the south side of the channel from Harrison Street eastward to harbor-line point 119 in Brooklyn Basin; a channel 30 feet deep and 500 feet wide through Brooklyn Basin; for dredging to a depth of 30 feet a triangular area about 2,700 feet long and of a maximum width of 300 feet at the western end of Brooklyn Basin; maintenance of a channel 25 feet deep and 300 feet wide at the north end of Brooklyn Basin; a turning basin at the east end of Brooklyn Basin 30 feet deep, 500 feet wide, and 1,200 feet long; a channel in the tidal canal 30 feet deep and 275 feet wide from Brooklyn Basin to Park Street, thence 25 feet deep to San Leandro Bay; a total channel length of 81/2 miles from San Francisco Bay to San Leandro Bay. The project also includes parallel rubble-mound jetties at the entrance to the inner harbor, a north jetty 9,500 feet long and a south jetty 12,000 feet long; and three highway bridges across the tidal canal, two of which (at Park Street and High Street) have been replaced by local interests. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6 feet in the outer harbor and 6.3 feet in the inner harbor at the Park Street Bridge. The extreme range is about 11 feet. The latest (1951) approved estimated cost of new work is $1,564,500, exclusive of contributed funds in the amount of $83,547, and of amounts expended on previous projects.

(Modifies Act of Jan. 21, 1927). Local cooperation. The act of January 21, 1927, as modified by the act of March 2, 1945, requires that local interests contribute one-half 2080 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 the cost of the entrance channel (400 feet wide) to the outer harbor and that the future maintenance by the United States of the north channel in Brooklyn Basin be contingent upon the removal by local interests of all sewers emptying therein, or, in lieu of such removal, upon the contribution of one-half the cost of maintenance (H. Doc. 407, 69th Cong., 1st sess., and H. Doc. 466, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). The first of the above requirements has been fulfilled. The others have not been fulfilled. In compliance with the act of April 28, 1928 (Public Res. 28, 70th Cong.), local interests have replaced the bridges at Park Street and High Street and are operating and maintaining them. They have been legally unable to maintain, operate or replace a com- bined railroad and highway bridge at Fruitvale Avenue because of a decision rendered by the California Court of Appeals that it was illegal for them to use appropriated funds for the sole benefit of a private corporation. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company oper- ated trains over the combined bridge until June 1951 when a separate railroad bridge constructed by the Federal Government was placed in operation. Terminal facilities. In the inner harbor there are 64 wharves of which 36 are owned by the Port of Oakland, 7 shipyards, 2 ferry ter- minals, and numerous small boat moorings. In the outer harbor there are 5 wharves, owned by the Port of Oakland, and 2 privately owned ferry terminals. These facilities are exclusive of those owned by the United States and are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.

REDWOOD CITY HARBOR, CALIF. Location. Redwood City Harbor is located on Redwood Creek, a tributary of San Francisco Bay about 20 miles south of the city of San Francisco. The project works also include a channel in San Fran- cisco Bay east of Point San Bruno. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5531.) Previous projects. The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1979 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1672 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 500 feet wide and 30 feet deep across San Bruno Shoal in San Francisco Bay; a channel 300 feet wide and 30 feet deep to the vicinity of the confluence of West Point Slough and Redwood Creek, with a basin at that location 2,200 feet long and from 400 to 900 feet wide; thence a channel 400 feet wide, 30 feet deep, and approximately 1,300 feet long flaring to a second turning basin approximately 900 feet wide, 1,700 feet long, and 30 feet deep; thence a channel 150 feet wide and 5 feet deep extending to Steinberger Slough. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.9 feet at Point San Bruno and 7.9 feet at Redwood City. The extreme ranges are estimated to be 12 feet and 13 feet at the respective localities. The au- thorized channel across San Bruno Shoal is about 4/3 miles long. In the creek, the authorized deep-water channel is 3.4 miles long includ- ing the basins, and the 5-foot channel extends to mile 4.3. The latest (1951) approved estimate of cost for new work is $1,512,500 exclusive of $119,572 contributed by local interests and of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1950) ap- proved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $85,630.

Local cooperation. Fully complied with on existing project. RIVERS AND HARBORS--SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2095 Terminal facilities. There are 38 piers and 2 marginal wharves (a 470-foot concrete wharf and a 2,600-foot timber wharf). The Federal Government owns 5 of the piers and the 2 marginal wharves. Of the remaining piers, 14 are owned by the Territory of Hawaii, adminis- tered by the Territorial Board of Harbor Commissioners, and 19 are privately owned. In general, all piers owned by the Territory and private concerns are open to all on equal terms. However, certain piers are reserved for certain commodities such as oil, pineapples, and bulk cement. Pipe lines for diesel oil, fuel oil, kerosene, gasoline, dis- tillate, molasses, and water are available. In addition to these facilities, the United States Army started con- struction of a slip in the northerly side of Kapalama Basin adjacent 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 com- pleted, piling was driven, and 450 lineal feet of concrete curtain wall and shelf were in place. Construction of a new freight terminal by the Territory of Hawaii is in progress to accommodate two C-3-type general cargo vessels and one lumber cargo vessel. 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. Establishment of an anchorage area in or near by Honolulu Harbor is desired for the mooring of idle craft. Operationsand results during fiscal year. As maintenance, a hydro- graphic survey was completed, by hired labor, at a cost of $3,865.34. The expenditures were $3,865.34 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in August 1945. The controlling depths in December 1950 were 32 feet in the entrance channel, 35 feet in the harbor basin, 34 feet in the connecting channel, and 32 feet in Kapalama Basin.

The Russian River rises in the Coast Range in northwest- ern California, flows southerly for a distance of 87 miles, and then turns westerly to flow for 23 miles to the Pacific Ocean at Jenner, 60 miles northwest of San Francisco, Calif. (For the general location see U. S. Geological Survey map for the State of California.) 2102 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Existing project. The authorized project provides for the construc- tion of the initial stage of the plan of improvement consisting of Coyote Valley Reservoir at mile 1 on the East Fork of the Russian River, and channel stabilization works on the lower 97 miles of the Russian River and on the lower reaches of several tributaries. The dam is an earth-fill type, with a total length of 4,600 feet, a crest at elevation 785, mean sea level datum, and a height above the stream bed of 150 feet. A paved overflow spillway is to be located adjacent to the right abutment (looking downstream), having a fixed crest at elevation 768 and a crest length of 410 feet. Gated outlet works, located through the dam, will provide capacity to empty the flood- control storage in about 4 days. The dam will create a reservoir hav- ing a capacity at spillway crest of 122,000 acre-feet, of which 48,000 acre-feet are reserved for flood control and the remainder for water conservation and siltation. The dam will control run-off from 105 square miles of drainage area. The latest (1951) estimated cost to the United States is $14,219,000. The estimated annual cost of main- tenance of Coyote Valley Reservoir is $18,900. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved May 17, 1950 (H. Doc. 585, 81st Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Local cooperation. The improvements are subject to the condition that prior to starting construction, local interests shall contribute the sum of $5,598,000 in cash in full payment of the conservation benefits, and shall (a) Furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the channel stabilization works; (b) make all necessary road and bridge revisions and utility alterations and relocations required for the chan- nel stabilization works; (c) adjust all claims concerning water aris- ing from the construction and operation of the improvements; (d) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; (e) maintain the channel stabilization works, after completion, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; (f) prevent any encroachment on the stream channel which would interfere with the proper functioning of the im- provements or lessen their beneficial effects; and, (g) enter into an agreement among themselves as to the method of operation of the reservoir for conservation subject to flood control priority. Operations and results during fiscal year. None. No funds have been appropriated. Condition at end of fiscal year. No construction has been accom- plished. Proposed operations. No work is scheduled for the fiscal year 1952. The sum of $100,000 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1953 for advance planning. 27. SALINAS RIVER, CALIF. Location.

San Joaquin River rises in east central California in the Sierra Nevada about 25 miles southeast of the Yosemite Valley and flows southwesterly to the town of Mendota, thence northerly to its confluence with Sacramento River about 48 miles northeast of San Francisco to empty into Suisun Bay near Collinsville, Calif. Total length of the river is about 340 miles. Near the mouth, a distributary channel, New York Slough, 3 miles long, leads to the head of Suisun Bay at Pittsburg; thence a deep channel extends through this bay and others to San Francisco. The city of Stockton is on the east side of San Joaquin River about 40 miles above Pitts- burg and access to the city has been provided by Stockton ship channel, an artificial cut extending from the river about 21/4 miles into the city. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Sheet No. 5527.) Existing project. This improvement, as authorized by the River and Harbor Acts through August 26, 1937, provides for a channel 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and for channel-bottom width of 400 feet below Criminal Point and 225 feet above that point, from the mouth of New York Slough to Mormon Channel at Stock- ton, a distance of 41 miles (suitably widened at bends and at the entrances to New York Slough and to channels through shoals, with levees set back 230 feet from the center of the channel) ; for a chan- nel 26 feet deep and 100 feet wide, thence to Edison Street three- fourths mile; for a 9-foot depth, thence, to the head of navigation at El Dorado Street, one-half mile; for a 9-foot depth in Fremont Channel and McLeod Lake, arms of Stockton Channel; and for a channel 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide in Mormon Channel from its mouth to Center Street, head of navigation, 1.7 miles. It also pro- vides for suitable passing basins and a turning basin at Stockton; for a triangular-shaped settling basin 30 feet deep and average side length of about 1,000 feet in the San Joaquin River just above its junction with the Stockton Deep-Water Channel and a second settling basin 30 feet deep, 1,200 feet long, and 100 feet wide, ad- joining the deep-water channel at the mouth of Calaveras River; for the reconstruction to grade and section of approximately 4,000 feet of levee along the north side of Venice Island Cut, and the setting back of levees where required for the channel improvements; for cutting off sharp bends and making cut-offs in the river; for partial closing of side channels at Laird Slough and Paradise Cut by weirs to confine the low-water flow to one main channel; and for snagging, removing overhanging trees, and constructing brushwing dams from the mouth of Stockton Channel to Hills Ferry, 86 miles, to facilitate light-draft navigation on this part of the river during higher stages of water. The River and Harbor-Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950 (Title RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2113 1, Rivers and Harbors, sec. 101 of Public Law 516, 81st Cong.) authorized modification of the navigation project for San Joaquin River, Calif. (H. Doc. 752, 80th Cong., 2d sess.), to provide for construction adjacent to Rough and Ready Island of a new turning basin 30 feet deep, 600 feet wide, and 1,350 feet long; widening the existing turning basin at Stockton by 200 feet; enlargement of Stock- ton Channel to afford a depth of 30 feet for a width of 150 feet be- tween the existing turning basin and Weber Point; elimination of dredging of Mormon Channel above Washington Street; filling of Mormon Channel and Mormon Slough between Washington Street and Wilson Way to the extent that may be economically accom- plished with dredge spoil from the improvement of Mormon Channel, upper Stockton Channel, and the existing turning basin; construct- ing a leveed channel, as necessary to meet the expanding needs of the port, 30 feet deep and 225 feet wide, around Rough and Ready Island including construction of a combination railroad and highway bridge, dredging a settling basin 17 feet deep, 600 feet wide, and 2,000 feet long, on San Joaquin River above the head of Burns Cutoff; and for levee changes and levee protective works below Stockton.

Local cooperation. All requirements for work accomplished to date under the authorization of the River and Harbor Acts through Au- gust 26, 1937, have been complied with. In accordance with those acts, local interests were required to furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, rights-of-way, and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance; contribute $1,307,500 toward the first cost of the dredging for the 26-foot proj- ect; provide terminal facilities; and assume maintenance of the levees. In accordance with the River and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950, local interests are required to (a) except for the new turning basin, furnish free of cost to the United States all necessary lands, ease- ments, rights-of-way, and suitable spoil-disposal areas for the new work and subsequent maintenance, when and as required; (b) agree to accept ownership of the combined rail and highway bridge upon completion of construction, together with maintenance, operation, and future replacement or alteration as may be required, provide and maintain any other bridges required over the waterway, and accom- plish all necessary utility relocations and alterations and the mainte- nance thereof; (c) contribute progressively as the project is con- structed, at such rate as is satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army, a total of $530,000 in cash toward the cost of new work of the improvement; (d) prior to enlargement of Stockton Channel and con- struction of the channel around Rough and Ready Island, agree to provide, maintain, and operate suitable terminal and related facilities at the site of the improvement under consideration; (e) agree to continue to maintain the levees along the deep water channel includ- ing those provided with bank protection by the Federal Government and those bordering the improved channel around Rough and Ready Island; and (f) agree to hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from construction, maintenance, and operation of the proposed improvements. The necessary assurances have not been requested from local interests pending completion of detailed project plans. Terminal facilities. The Port of Stockton owns and operates the Public Ocean Terminal consisting of 3,000 linear feet of wharves with 384,495 square feet of transit sheds, as well as 508 feet of open RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2115 wharf. Eight oceangoing vessels can be accommodated at one time at the Public Ocean Terminal. The port also owns and operates 585,700 equare feet of storage warehouses adjacent to the Public Ocean Terminal which includes a cotton warehouse and compress and a grain terminal with overhead conveyors to vessels having a capa- city of 125 tons of bulk grain or 50 tons of sacked grain per hour. Certain facilities at the Stockton Port terminal are in use for mili- tary purposes. A naval supply depot (Stockton Annex) has been completed on Rough and Ready Island, bounded by the Stockton Deep Water Channel on the north side, San Joaquin River on the east side, and Burns Cutoff on the south and west sides. Shallow-draft facilities on the upper channel include 7,780 linear feet of wharves of which 3,565 linear feet are privately owned, the remainder being owned by the Stockton Port District. Included along these wharves are 340,300 square feet of transit sheds and 127,600 square feet of storage warehouses. There is a privately owned cold-storage warehouse with an area of 83,474 square feet located on Mormon Channel. The port owns and operates the belt-line railroad, which connects with three transcontinental railroads and serves all facilities in the area. Downstream from Stockton, the traffic is accommodated by bank landings and sheds, except at Antioch and near Pittsburg, where there are wharves for shallow- and deep-draft vessels. The terminal transfer facilities at the Public Ocean Terminal of the port of Stockton are adequate for the present and immediate future. It is estimated that 800,000 to 900,000 tons of traffic per year can be handled with the present facilities, and with the extension of marginal wharves downstream from the Public Ocean Terminal, it is estimated that the yearly capacity of the port can be increased to 1,500,000 tons. Operations and results during the fiscal year. New work: None. Maintenance: Dredging operations, by suction dredge under unit price contract, from September to December 1950, resulted in the removal of 609,730 cubic yards of material from the San Joaquin River at Hog Island Cut, New York Slough, and the junction of San Joaquin River to the mouth of Calaveras River. Use of the Govern- ment-owned hopper dredge MacKenzie and hired labor resulted in the removal of 31,524 cubic yards of material along San Joaquin Deep-Water Channel during February 1951. Operations also included preliminary surveys and preparation of plans and specifications by hired labor. Total cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $314,509.22, of which $275,642.81 was for contract work and $38,- 866.41 for hired labor work. Total expenditures were $315,742.73. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 34 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the construction author- ized by the River and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950, for modification of the navigation project to provide for construction adjacent to Rough and Ready Island of a new turning basin; widen existing turning basin at Stockton; enlargement of Stockton Channel between existing turning basin and Weber Point; construction of leveed chan- nel, as necessary, around Rough and Ready Island including construc- 2116 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 tion of a combination railroad and highway bridge; dredging a settling basin on San Joaquin River above the head of Burns Cutoff; filling of a portion of Mormon Channel and Mormon Slough; and for levee changes and levee protective works below Stockton. Dredging of the widened 30-foot channel, authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, was completed in October 1940. The minor structures involved are in good condition. The turning basin in Stockton Channel is 725 feet wide and has a length of 1,900 feet along the northerly edge, tapering to 1,100 feet along the southerly edge. The controlling depth from mouth of the river in Suisun Bay to Mormon Channel, 41 miles, is 30 feet; thence to Edison Street, three- quarters of a mile, 22 feet; and thence to head at El Dorado Street, one-half mile, 9 feet. A 9-foot depth is available in Mormon Channel, up to Main Street, 0.9 mile, thence 2 feet to Center Street, head of navigation, and 9 feet in Fremont Channel and McLeod Lake. All depths are referred to mean lower low water. The river, from its junction with Stockton Channel to the Mossdale bridges (16 miles), usually has a controlling depth of 4 feet from April to June, inclusive, and from Mossdale bridges to Hills Ferry (70 miles) the usual controlling depth is 2 feet from April to June, inclusive. Navigation in the section above the San Joaquin Bridge (Southern Pacific R. R. crossing) is impracticable in the low stages after June.

STOCKTON AND MORMON CHANNELS (DIVERTING CANAL), CALIF. Location. This is an artificial cut located about 3 miles east of Stockton, Calif., which extends northwesterly about 41/2 miles to intersect the original Calaveras River channel near the northeast corner of the city of Stockton. (See U. S. Geological Survey Sheet, Stockton quadrangle.) Existing project. This provides for diverting the waters of Mor- mon Slough before reaching Mormon and Stockton Channels by means of a dam in the slough 3 miles east of Stockton, and a canal 150 feet wide, with average cut of 7.9 feet, thence to the north branch of the Calaveras River, 4.63 miles; by the enlargement of the cross section of this branch to 1,550 square feet, thence to its mouth at San Joaquin River, 5 miles; and by the construction of a levee along the west side of the canal and the south side of the north branch of the Calaveras River from the material excavated. The height of the levee is limited by necessary railway and highway crossings to about 3 feet above the contemplated flood surface. The canal is empty during the greater part of the year, but at times of extreme flood there is a depth of about 12 feet, and at ordinary flood a depth of about 10 feet. The total Federal cost of new work for the completed project was $253,151, and the latest (July 1951) approved estimated Federal cost for annual maintenance is $8,000. 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 Document 256, Sixty-third Congress, first session. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 2118 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Terminal facilities. See report on San Joaquin River, Calif. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: None. Maintenance: The project was inspected to determine the necessity for clearing along the Stockton Diverting Canal. Condition at end of fiscal year. All features of the existing project were completed in 1910. The structures involved are in good condi- tion. Most of the silt formerly deposited in Stockton and Mormon Channels is diverted therefrom by this canal, obviating serious in- conveniences to navigation and expensive annual dredging. The total cost was $385,319.05, of which $253,151.03 was for new work and $132,168.02 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $385,319.05. Proposed operations. An allotment of $5,000.00 for maintenance, made in fiscal year 1952, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Miscellaneous surveys and maintenance inspections, by hired labor, during fiscal year --------------------------------------- $1,000 Removal of brush, overhanging trees, and other obstructions from the channel 'and banks of Calaveras River and the diverting canal, by hired labor, September-December 1951 ----------------------- 4,000 Total application of funds-____-___ _____ - _ ___---_ 5,000 No work is scheduled for fiscal year 1953.

MOKELUMNE RIVER, CALIF. Location. The Mokelumne River rises near the crest of the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the western slope at about elevation 10,000 feet and flows a total distance of 140 miles via the North Fork, or 145 miles via the South Fork, to empty into the San Joaquin River 20 miles above the mouth of the latter. The river flows southwesterly 119 miles to the town of Woodbridge; thence northerly about 9 miles to the Galt-New Hope Bridge; thence northwesterly, westerly and southerly 8 miles by river to New Hope Landing, where it sepa- rates, flowing southerly, afterwards reuniting at a point which is 9 miles downstream via the North Fork and 14 miles via the South Fork; thence westerly 4 miles to its mouth in the San Joaquin River. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Sac- ramento Valley, California.) Existing project. This provides for the removal of snags and RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2119 obstructions and occasional dredging of shoals from the mouth of the river to Galt-New Hope Bridge, a distance of 35 miles, including both forks. The mean lower low-water depths considered sufficient for needs of navigation are as follows: Mokelumne River Location of section going upstream Depth Length Feet Miles __ _------ Mouth of river to lower junction North and South Forks',---.------.-- 9 4 Lower junction North and South Forks to Snodgrass Slough via North Fork __----- 9 8 Snodgrass Slough to upper junction North and South Forks via North Fork_ -___ 6 1 Lower junction North and South Forks to upper junction of same at New Hope 9 14 Landing via South Fork. New Hope Landing to Galt-New Hope Bridge 3 8 At low river stages the range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth is 4 feet, with extreme tidal range of 5 feet; there is no tide at the upper end just above Galt- New Hope Bridge. Ordinary flood fluctuation is 5.5 feet at the mouth and 12 feet at the upper end. Extreme flood fluctuation is 8 feet at the mouth and 17 feet at the upper end. The total Federal cost of new work for the completed project was $8,500, and the latest (July 1951) approved estimated Federal cost for annual maintenance is $4,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of 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 No. 1160, Sixty-third Congress, second session. Local cooperation. None required. Up to June 30, 1911, the State of California expended approximately $23,000 in clearing the river of snags and trees, for 3 miles above the Galt-New Hope Bridge, and in making several cutoffs. Two-thirds of the cost of this work was contributed by the local protection district. The result was to accelerate runoff and improve navigation conditions in the lower river. Other similar expenditures have been made by local interests, for which records are not available. Terminal facilities. The Western Pacific Railroad has warehouses at Terminus, on Potato Slough; otherwise commodities are handled on small wharves or landings or on the banks at various points. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. There were no opera- tions, no expenditures, and no costs incurred. Condition at end bf fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1885. Controlling depths are as shown in the table under existing project, with the following exceptions: Mouth of river to lower junction North and South Forks, 12 feet; and lower junction North and South Forks to upper junction of same at New Hope Landing via South Fork, 8 feet. The total cost was $76,037.01, of which $8,500 was for new work and $67,537.01 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $76,037.01. Proposed operations. No work is scheduled for fiscal years 1952 and 1953. 2120 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIF. Location. Sacramento River is formed by numerous streams drain- ing the Trinity and Warner Mountains in north-central California, flows in a general southerly direction about 375 miles and empties into Suisun Bay, an arm of San Francisco Bay, at Collinsville, Calif. (See U. S. Geological Survey 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, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1708, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for construction of a ship channel 30 feet deep and 200 to 300 feet wide from deep water in Suisun Bay to Washington Lake, including such works as may be necessary to com- pensate for or to alleviate any detrimental salinity conditions result- ing from the ship channel; a triangular basin of equal depth, 2,400 feet by 2,000 feet by 3,400 feet at Washington Lake; and a'connecting canal 13 feet deep and 120 feet wide, with lock and drawbridge, thence to Sacramento River; thence 6 feet deep at low water to Colusa, 85 miles; thence 5 feet deep at low water to Chico Landing, 49 miles; and such depths as practicable, thence to Red Bluff, 53 miles. Below Sacramento the results are to be obtained by means of dredging and dry excavation of cuts of 30 feet for channel, 13 feet for canal, with related confining embankments, harbor excavation and structures. The 10-foot channel project by the river route adopted in 1927 pro- vides for a channel 10 feet deep at mean lower low 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 maintained Tor local navigation. Above Sacramento the results are to be obtained by removal of snags and concentration of the channel by temporary works, and stream-flow regulation by the Shasta Reservoir. All depths refer to mean lower low water.

For map of the section below Sacramento, see H. Doc. 1123, 60th Cong., 2d sess. and S. Doc. 142, 79th Cong., 2d sess. Local cooperation. No work shall be undertaken until responsible local agencies agree to furnish without cost to the United States all necessary lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and subsequent maintenance when and as required and to make all necessary utility changes, and until they give assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will (a) con- struct, operate, and maintain at the Washington Lake Basin an ade- 2122 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 quate public terminal with necessary utilities and rail and highway connections open to all on equal terms, (b) hold and save the United States free from any damages which may arise from construction, operations, and maintenance of the improvement. These assurances have been furnished and accepted. The California Legislature on June 20, 1947, by chapter 1152, 1947 statutes, duly signed by the Governor, appropriated $750,000 for the Sacramento-Yolo Port District for rights-of-way; contingent upon a showing satisfactory to the State director of finance (1) that approval of a bond issue (for $3,750,000) has been given by the voters of the port district, and (2) the making of a Federal appropriation for construction of the deep water channel to Sacramento, Calif. The first requirement was fulfilled by passage of the bond issue at an election of November 4, 1947, and the second requirement was fulfilled by a Federal appropriation of $250,000 in July 1948 for initiation of construction. A portion of the above bond issue is being used as needed in procurement of rights-of-way by the port authority; and the sum of $500,000 was advanced to the United States in June 1949 to accelerate construction of which $300,000 Qf this advance has been returned to the port authority. Initial port facilities installation as planned by local interests will consist of (a) one warehouse, 160 feet by 400 feet; (b) two transit sheds, 160 feet by 400 feet; (c) one grain elevator, 500,000-bushel capacity; (d) 1,500 linear feet of fireproof wharf ; and (e) access road, railroad and utilities. A master plan covering development of ter- minal facilities has been prepared for the future development of the port and will cover all future expansion after the initial development above described. The 500,000-bushel bulk-storage grain elevator with railway and highway connections was completed in 1950. Recommended modification of project. In House Document No. 1883, Sixty-fourth Congress, second session, it was recommended that Chico Landing, 52.4 miles downstream from Red Bluff, be made the head of the improvement. This review report has been completed and was submitted to the Chief of Engineers in April 1951 and to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors in May 1951. Terminal facilities. At Sacramento there are 4,810 linear feet of wharves, of which 1,850 linear feet are owned by the city and 420 linear feet are open to general public use. There are 245,700 square feet of warehouse space, of which 103,700 square feet are owned by the city and 21,000 square feet are open to general public use. All the preced- ing is for shallow-draft navigation. All the main wharves at Sacra- mento have rail connection. Municipal belt railroad tracks serve the shedded wharves from the rear. A master plan has been prepared by the port authority for deep-draft terminal facilities at Washington Lake, across the river from Sacramento. A 500,000-bushel bulk-storage grain elevator, with railway and highway connections, was completed in 1949-50. Plans have been drawn for 1,500-foot wharf, with two transit sheds and adjacent warehouses. 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 Land- ing there are 47 warehouses and numerous small landings. Freight is RIVERS AND HARBORS--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2123 also handled on the bank. On the river channels, between Sacramento and the mouth of the river, there are, in addition to 1,440 linear feet of wharf with warehouse facilities at Rio Vista, 19 large wharves, about 38 large warehouses, and many small warehouses and landings all owned and operated by private interests. The facilities below Sacramento, except at Rio Vista, are for shallow-draft navigation. They are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Snagging and clearing along Sacramento River from Sacramento upstream to Colusa, September and October 1950, was accomplished by hired labor and Government plant. Advance planning for the 30-foot ship chan- nel to Sacramento, including design and preparation of plans and specifications for the barge lock and the bascule bridge, was continued by hired labor throughout the fiscal year. Excavation of the ship channel together with necessary levee reconstruction, mile 14.1 to mile 17.8, initiated in July 1950, by continuing contract, resulted in the removal of 4,437,437 cubic yards of material from the channel by hydraulic dredge and 1,199,000 cubic yards placed in levee setback and reconstruction by land equipment. Total cost for new work was $1,510,456.49, of which $7,823.65 was for shallow draft and $1,502,- 632.84 for the 30-foot channel. Total expenditures were $1,469,414.94. Miscellaneous construction (nonproject) accomplished for the Sacramento-Yolo Port District at its expense in connection with the excavation of the ship channel and necessary levee reconstruction cost $102,669.59, and expenditures therefor were $102,669.59. Maintenance: a. Above Sacramento-soundings were taken at nine sites on the Sacramento River, from Sacramento to Colusa, July to September 1950, by hired labor. Dredging of shoals in Sacramento River between Sacramento and Colusa, from mile 62.5 to mile 89.6, from August to October 1950, by hired labor and rented clamshell dredge, resulted in the removal of 141,836 cubic yards of material from the channel. Further dredging of the river between Sacramento and Colusa was initiated in June 1951, by hired labor and rented clam- shell dredges. b. At and below Sacramento-preliminary surveys and the prepara- tion of plans and specifications for maintenance along Sacramento River and its tributaries was accomplished by hired labor throughout the year. Preparation of spoil area was continued from January to March 1951 by hired labor and rented equipment. Hired labor and rented clamshell dredge were used to remove 28,534 cubic yards of material along Steamboat Slough, in the vicinity of Rio Vista and Courtland, during July 1950. A contract dredge removed 155,224 cubic yards of material from the river at Sacramento in October 1950. Total cost of maintenance for both sections was $137,114.88, and total expenditures were $138,472.58. Total cost of all work during the fiscal year was as follows: Funds New work Maintenance Total United States funds-------------------------- $1, 510, 456. 49 $137, 114. 88 $1, 647, 571.37 Contributed funds (non-project)---------------- 102, 669. 59 __------------------ 102, 669. 59 Total of all funds-...................... -... 1, 613, 126. 08 137,114. 88 1,750, 240. 96 2124 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

The 10-foot channel below Sacra- mento was completed in 1931. The work remaining to be done to complete the shallow-draft portion of the project is the provision of a 6-foot depth between Sacramento and Colusa (85 miles) and a 5-foot depth thence to Chico Landing (49 miles), subject results to be obtained by removal of snags, construction of wing dams, concen- tration of the channel by temporary works, and stream-flow regula- tion of 5,000 second-feet by operation of Shasta Reservoir. New work on the shallow-draft channel is about 68 percent complete. Construc- tion of the 30-foot deep water ship' channel, under the modification authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, was initiated in July 1949 and is about 8 percent complete. Construc- tion of road, railroad, and levee embankments in the harbor area was completed by contracts in October 1949 and February 1950. Advance planning for the 30-foot ship channel, including design and prepara- tion of plans and specifications for the barge lock and the bascule bridge, was continued throughout the year. Work was started in July 1950, by continuing contract, and prosecuted throughout the year on excavation of the ship channel together with necessary levee reconstruction, mile 14.1 to mile 17.8. The entire project as modified is about 10 percent complete. The controlling low-water season depths were as follows: From the mouth of the river to Sacramento, 10 feet; thence to Colusa, 6.6 feet; thence to Butte City, 3.9 feet; and thence to Sidds Landing, 3.1 feet. There is no regular navigation above Sidds Landing, 178 miles above the mouth of the river.

Location. This river rises in the Sierra Nevada, flows southwesterly about 125 miles, and empties into the Sacramento River about 21 miles above the city of Sacramento. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheet "Topographic Map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.") Previous projects. Adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916, without previously published report. For further details see page 1985, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1711, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for improvement of the river from its mouth to Marysville by providing for a channel of such depths as may be practicable at an average annual cost not in excess of $10,000, and that no local cooperation be required in addition to the contribu- tion already made by local interests in accordance with the require- ment of River and Harbor Act of July 27, 1916. The latest (July 1951) approved estimate for annual Federal cost of maintenance is $2,000. Ordinary flood fluctuation is 20 feet and extreme flood fluctuation is about 25 feet. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 1, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. There are several small landings, all privately owned. All other traffic is handled on the bank. These facilities are considered adequate for existing, commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year. There were no operations, no expenditures, and no costs were incurred. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is one of main- tenance and requires the removal of obstruction and construction of RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRIOT 2127 wingdams as needed. The controlling depth from the mouth at Verona up to Marysville is usually 3 feet from about February 15 to June 15. The total cost for maintenance and expenditures under the existing project were $5,742.91. In addition, $3,840.10 was expended from con- tributed funds for maintenance. Proposed operations.

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 bychannel above the city of Stockton and rejoining the main river about 15 miles below Stockton. Whiskey Slough enters the San Joaquin 6 miles up- stream from Middle River and is connected by Empire Cut, an arti- ficial waterway, with Latham Slough and Middle River. Turner Cut is an artificial cutoff at the mouth of Whiskey Slough. (See U. S. Geological Survey, California quadrangles Bouldin, Woodward Is- land, Holt, Union Island, Stockton, and Lathrop.) Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930. For further details see page 1290 of Annual Report for 1934. Existing project. This provides for a channel 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide in Middle River below Borden Highway Bridge; in Latham Slough between Middle River and Empire Cut; and in Empire Cut, Whiskey Slough, and Turner Cut between Middle River and San Joaquin River. The mean range of tide is about 3 feet during stages of extreme low water. The total Federal cost of new work for the completed project was $6,754, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, and the latest (July 1951) approved estimated Federal cost for annual main- tenance is $2,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (River and Harbors Committee Doc. 48, 72d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. There are no extensive terminal facilities on these waterways, other than bank landings along the channels, which are considered adequate. There is one large wharf with warehouse at Middle River station with rail connection. All facilities are privately owned, but are open to public use. 2128 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Operations and results during fiscal year. There were no mainte- nance operations and no costs or expenditures were incurred. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1937. The controlling depth is the project depth of 9 feet at mean lower low water in all of the channels.

SUISUN BAY CHANNEL, CALIF. Location. Suisun Bay is about 30 miles northeast of San Francisco, Calif., and is an integral part of the waterways which provide access to the Pacific Ocean from inland ports of California. Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers flow to a junction and empty into Suisun Bay near Collinsville, and New York Slough, a distributary of San Joaquin River, leads to the head of Suisun Bay at Pittsburg, Calif. The port of Sacramento is situated on the Sacramento River about 60 miles north of Collinsville; the city of Stockton is on the San Joaquin River about 40 miles above Pittsburg and access to the city has been pro- vided by Stockton Ship Channel, an artificial cut extending from the river about 21/4 miles into the city. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5534.) Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919. For further details, see page 1562 of Annual Report for 1926, and page 1714 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 300 feet wide and 30 feet deep through Bulls Head Point, Point Edith, and Middle Ground Shoals to the mouth of New York Slough, and for a channel 20 feet deep and 250 feet wide south of Seal Islands from the main channel at Point Edith to the main channel again at Bay Point. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.3 feet. The extreme range is 9.5 feet. The total Federal cost of new work for the completed project, except work done under the Public Works program as part of the San Joaquin River 30-foot project, was $142,026, and the latest (July 1951)- ap- proved estimated Federal cost for annual maintenance is $75,000.

SUISUN CHANNEL, CALIF. Location. Suisun Channel is the project channel in Suisun Slough, a tidal inlet with its mouth on the northwest side of Suisun Bay, about 7 miles northeast of Benicia and 36 miles northeast of San Francisco. The head of navigation is at the town of Suisun, about 13 miles north of the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5534.) Existing project. This provides for dredging a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water from Suisun Bay to and in the basin at the town of Suisun, straightened by four cutoffs in the upper portion; channel widths to be 200 feet in the bar channel, 100 feet in the cutoffs, and a minimum of 125 feet in the remaining parts of the project channel; widening four bends located 5, 51/2, 712, and 121/2 miles below Suisun; the removal of ledge rock from the channel at a loca- tion about 31/2 miles below Suisun; and a 1,400- by 150-foot basin at Suisun, with an extension 275 feet wide and 600 feet long. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.4 feet, with an extreme range of 10 feet. The total Federal cost of new work for the completed project was $217,677, and the latest (July 1951) approved estimated Federal cost for annual maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 To secure a channel up to Suisun, 6 feet deep at low H.

RIVERS AND HIARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2131 Local cooperation. Local interests are required to furnish free of cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance, under- take any necessary reconstruction of the power-line crossing over the proposed cut-off near Suisun, and provide at Suisun adequate public terminal facilities subject to the approval of the Chief of Engineers. These requirements have been fulfilled except for the public terminals, which will be completed when materials are available at reasonable cost. Terminal facilities. There are three wharves in the city of Suisun, with a total of 600 feet of berthing space. There is also warehouse space of 33,500 square feet, and an oil-storage terminal. These are all privately owned and operated, and will be increased in compliance with the provisions of local cooperation, as land has been purchased, financing arranged, and plans have been prepared for construction when materials are available at reasonable cost. Certain facilities are in use for military purposes. Operations and results during fiscal year. There were no main- tenance operations, no expenditures, and no costs incurred. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1947. The controlling depth is 8 feet in the channel and harbor basin. The total cost under the existing project was $217,676.65, for new work, and $57,707.25, for maintenance, a total of $275,383.90. Total expenditures were $275,383.90. Proposed operations. No work is scheduled for the fiscal year 1952. The sum of $2,000 can be profitably expended for the fiscal year 1953 for maintenance surveys, by hired labor and Government plant, that will be required to determine the condition of the channel.

OLD RIVER, CALIF. Location. Old River is the most westerly branch of the interconnect- ing tidal channels into which the San Joaquin River divides in cross- ing its delta. It leaves the main river 21/2 miles downstream from the Mossdale State highway bridge, or 131/2 miles above the mouth of Stockton Channel, and flows westerly and northerly 32 miles to its lower confluence with the main river, 23 miles above its mouth in Suisun Bay. 2132 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Existing project. This provides for the easing of three sharp bends in Old River between its mouth and Orwood (Santa Fe) Bridge; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Santa Fe wharves and Phillips cannery at Orwood; entrances 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Fabian-Bell Canal at its westerly end and just west of the Grant Line highway bridge; enlargement of Grant Line Canal west of Doughty Cut to a depth of 10 feet and width of 100 feet; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide with suitable alignment from the westerly end of Doughty Cut to the Holly sugar factory; a channel 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide from the southerly end of Doughty cut to the head of Old River; and a channel 6 feet deep and 80 feet wide in the original channel of Old River from the westerly end of Grant Line Canal to the Lammers Ferry Road. All depths are referred to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the head of Old River is about 2 feet; and at its mouth about 4 feet; ordinary flood fluctuations are, respectively, 15 feet and 51/2 feet; extreme flood fluctuations are, respectively, 19 feet and 8 feet. The latest (July 1951) approved estimates of Federal cost for new work and for annual maintenance are $78,000 and $35,000, respectively. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. 151, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation. Local interests are required to furnish without cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance as necessary, and to agree to provide public landings satisfactory to the Chief of Engineers on each side of the proposed channel in the Old River near Lammers Ferry Road and on the Fabian-Bell Canal west of Grant Line Bridge. Spoil-disposal areas have been provided for those channels so far completed. Completion of the project is being held in abeyance pending fulfillment of all requirements for local cooperation. Terminal facilities. The Santa Fe Railroad has a warehouse and wharf at Orwood for transfer of farm produce from boat to rail. The Phillips' cannery at Orwood has similar facilities. The Holly Sugar Co. refinery and terminal near Tracy has a large wharf and an unloading basin with three mechanical unloading and conveying units connecting with a warehouse; there is also a passing basin one- half mile downstream. There are about 100 private bank landings along the project channels; some have sheds for storage. 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. Maintenance operations included removal of 60,064 cubic yards of material along Grant Line Canal in August 1950, by rented clamshell dredge and hired labor; preparation of spoil area along Grant Line Canal in August 1950, by hired labor and Government plant; and removal of 20,305 cubic yards of material in May 1951, by rented clamshell dredge and hired labor, in Doughty and Crocker Cuts in Salmon Slough and along the Grant Line Canal downstream from the Tracy Island Road. Miscellaneous surveys and preparation of plans and specifications were accomplished RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2133 during the fiscal year. Total cost was $29,237.77 for maintenance, and total expenditures were $29,308.71. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 30 percent complete. The work remaining to be done includes completion of the project channels up to and at Orwood; in Fabian-Bell Canal, in Grant Line Canal, from Grant Line Canal to the head of Old River in San Joaquin River, and in the original channel of Old River from Grant Line Canal up to Lammers Ferry Road. The controlling depths at the end of the fiscal year were as follows: From the mouth of the river to Orwood, 11 miles, 10 feet; thence to the lower end of Grant Line Canal, 10 miles, 10 feet; thence (a) to Holly sugar factory near Tracy, 9 feet, or (b) to head of Old River in San Joaquin River, 6 feet. The total cost was $249,886.91, of which $23,184.86 was for new work and $226,702.05 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $249,838.70. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $2,045.02, plus an allotment of $1,000 for maintenance, a total of $3,045.02, will be used for payment of accounts payable in the amount of $48.21 and the remainder for condition sur- veys during the spring of 1952 to determine the status of the channel after the spring run-off. The sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended for the fiscal year 1953 for maintenance, consisting of removal of shoals that regularly develop by the deposition of sand and debris carried by the annual spring run-off in the Grant Line Canal, Doughty Cut, and Salmon Slough. This work will be accomplished by contract clamshell dredge.

The streams comprising the Fresno County group are Big Dry Creek, Dog Creek, Redbank Creek, and Fancher Creek. All of them rise in the Sierra Nevada, near the foothills, from 17 to 31 miles northeasterly from Fresno, Calif., and follow nearly parallel courses in a southwesterly direction toward Clovis and Fresno. Portions of the channels of these creeks, after entering the valley floor, serve as part of large and complicated systems of irriga- tion canals. The creeks eventually empty directly into the San Joaquin River, or indirectly through Murphy Slough, at various points northwesterly and southwesterly of Fresno, Calif. (See U. S. Geological Survey Clovis and Friant quadrangles of the area.) Existing project. This provides for construction of a detention reservoir, with a storage capacity of 15,500 acre-feet, on Big Dry Creek about 10 miles northeast of Fresno; for diverting the flood- waters of Dog Creek to a point on Big Dry Creek above the reser- voir; and for constructing a diversion canal from the reservoir northwesterly to Little Dry Creek, a tributary of the San Joaquin River. The improvements will control floods on Big Dry and Dog Creeks considerably greater than any of recent occurrence and will provide complete protection to the cities of Fresno and Clovis and their suburban areas. The total Federal cost of new work construction was $1,242,124.28. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of Au- gust 18, 1941. (See H. Doc. 845, 76th Cong., 3d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation. Local interests were required to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they would provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights- of-way necessary for the construction of the project, hold and save the United States free from claims for damages due to construction and maintenance of the project, bear the expense of bridge construc- tion and maintain and operate all the works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945, approved by the Governor of that State on July 19, 1945, provided for these assur- ances which were furnished and approved by the Secretary of the Army March 18, 1947. The completed project was transferred to the FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2137 State of California by letter dated March 19, 1948 and accepted by the State April 7, 1948. The State of California transferred respon- sibility for the maintenance and operation of the project to the County of Fresno in accordance with the contract and agreement dated August 6, 1946 between the State Reclamation Board and the County of Fresno. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction of this project was completed in February 1948; there were no operations or expenditures and no costs were incurred during the fiscal year.

CALAVERAS RIVER AND LITTLEJOHN CREEK AND TRIBUTARIES, INCLUDING HOGAN AND FARMINGTON RESERVOIRS, CALIF. Location. The streams comprising the Calaveras River and Little- john Creek groups rise in the Sierra Nevada and its foothills, flow westerly across the flat lands of San Joaquin Valley and empty into the San Joaquin River directly, or through various sloughs, in the vicinity of Stockton, California. The Littlejohn Creek group drains 487 square miles, of which 184 square miles are below the base of the foothills. It includes Lone Tree Creek to the south, Littlejohn Creek, and to the north Duck Creek. This group is bordered on the north by the Calaveras River group which includes that river and its tributaries and Bear Creek to its north. The latter group drains 173 square miles below the base of the foothills and 560 square miles above. The valley lands are essentially a delta area in which the streams of both groups are more or less interconnected by creeks and swales. (See U. S. Geological Survey Valley Springs quadrangle for Hogan Reservoir area and Trigo and Bachelor Valley quadrangles for Farmington Reservoir area.) Existing project. This provides for- a. Construction of Farmington Reservoir with storage capacity of 52,000 acre-feet on Littlejohn Creek, California, for flood control, and construction of a diversion channel from Duck Creek to Little- john Creek, and two dikes across downstream channels leading from Duck Creek to Mormon Slough, at an estimated Federal first cost (July 1951) of $3,729,000 ($2,758,000 for construction and $971,000 for lands and damages) and $12,800 annually for maintenance and operation. 2138 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 b. Enlargement of Hogan Reservoir on Calaveras River, for flood control and other purposes, at an estimated Federal first cost (July 1951) of $13,760,000 ($13,651,000 for construction and $109,000 for lands and damages) and $7,600 annually for maintenance and operation. c. Bear Creek: Enlargement of 14.4 miles of existing channel, excavation of 1.3 miles of new channel and construction of 30.1 miles of levee on Bear Creek, at an estimated Federal first cost (July 1951) of $617,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 545, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation. None is required for construction of Farming- ton Reservoir. Payment for conservation storage in Hogan Reservoir, when used, is to be made to the United States by the State of Cali- fornia or other responsible agency. The State of California has offi- cially adopted the project. The State of California or other respon- sible local agencies must give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that for the Duck and Bear Creeks improvements they will (1) provide without cost to the United States all lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way necessary for construction of the works; (2) make all necessary bridge and utility alterations; (3) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; and (4) maintain and operate all works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945, approved by the Governor of that State on July 19, 1945, provides for the furnishing of the assurances for the levee and channel improvements. Assurances were furnished by the State of California for Duck Creek Channel Improvements and forwarded to the Chief of Engi- neers in April 1951. Assurances for Bear Creek channel improve- ments have not been requested pending completion of detailed project plans. Recommended modifications of project: In House Document No. 367, Eighty-first Congress, first session, a plan of improvement was recommended which would provide for construction of a levee on the right bank of the Stockton Diverting Canal and incidental chan- nel improvement, such work to extend from its source at Mormon Slough to its confluence with the lower Calaveras River. The rec- ommended work would supplement the authorized Hogan Reservoir, and would control Calaveras River floods by confining regulated flows to leveed channels. The estimated Federal first cost (1948) is $52,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Farmington Reservoir: Advance planning, including preparation of contract plans and specifications, and acquisition of real estate were continued. Con- struction of the Duck Creek channel improvements, by contract, initi- ated in May 1951, is 42 percent complete and will be completed about December 1951; 75,000 cubic yards of material were excavated during May and June. Construction of the main dam and spillway which was initiated in May 1950, by continuing contract, was completed in June 1951; during the year 28,632 cubic yards unclassified excavation, FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2139 162,931 cubic yards spillway excavation, 1,729,537 cubic yards borrow excavation for impervious fill and pervious backfill, and placement of 2,432 cubic yards concrete were accomplished. A supply contract for fabrication of slide gates and appurtenances, started in October 1949, was completed in August 1950. Construction of the outlet works, including installation of the slide gates and appurtenances, by con- tinuing contract, initiated in July 1949, was completed in November 1950; 97 cubic yards concrete and 308 pounds of steel reinforcement were placed during the fiscal year. Relocation of approximately 2 miles of telephone lines under two negotiated contracts was accom- plished in July 1950. Relocation of the Farmington Telephone system within the reservoir area, by negotiated contract, was initiated in March 1951, is 80 percent complete, and is scheduled for completion in July 1951. Work under a negotiated contract for relocation of Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company lines and appurtenances was started in June 1951, is 25 percent complete, and will be completed about August 1951. Relocation of a power distribution line under a negotiated contract was initiated in July 1950 and completed in February 1951, and a contract was negotiated for a power transmission line relocation to be completed about March 1952. Relocation of por- tions of Sonora Road, by negotiated contracts with San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties, was initiated in June 1951 and will be completed about November 1951. Bear Creek Channel improvements: Minor project planning was continued for the channel improvements; further planning is delayed until agreement is reached with local interests regarding plan of improvement. Hogan Reservoir : Project planning, including continuation of prep- aration of definite project plans, was continued. Total cost of new work during the fiscal year for the entire project was $1.533,887.71, of which $1,524,963.18 was for Farmington Reser- voir, $200.25 for Bear Creek Channel improvements, and $8,724.28 for Hogan Reservoir. Total expenditures during the fiscal year for the entire project were $1,567,095.49, of which $1,558,579.04 was for Farmington Reservoir and Bear Creek Channel improvements and $8,516.45 for Hogan Reservoir. Condition at end of fiscal year. New work: Farmington Reservoir: Advance planning, including preparation of contract plans and speci- fications, and land acquisition were continued. Construction work on this project was initiated in July 1949, and completion of major features, by continuing contracts, was as follows: Construction of the outlet works, including installation of the slide gates and appurte- nances, November 1950; and main dam and spillway, June 1951. Fab- rication of slide gates and appurtenances, by supply contract, was completed in August 1950. Miscellaneous construction work completed in fiscal year 1950 includes: Initial test fill in dam embankment; por- table soils laboratory tool shack; project field office; cattle guard; and fencing. Construction of the Duck Creek Channel improvements, by contract, was started in May 1951, and will be completed about October 1951. Two minor telephone line relocations, by contract, were accom- plished in July 1950, and a power distribution line relocation, by con- 2140 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 tract, was completed in February 1951. Work was initiated in March 1951 and in June 1951 on two other telephone line relocations, and a contract was negotiated for a power transmission line relocation. Re- location of portions of Sonora Road, by contracts with San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties, was started in June 1951, and will be com- pleted about November 1951. Real estate acquisition is about 80 per- cent complete. Farmington Reservoir is about 60 percent complete. The work remaining to complete Farmington Reservoir includes clearing and enlarging downstream channels of Littlejohn Creek and its distributaries, construction of connection channel between Little- john and Rock Creeks upstream from the dam, reservoir clearing, establishment of sedimentation ranges, construction of outflow gaging station, and completion of Duck Creek Channel improvements and road and utility relocations. Farmington Reservoir was operated partially for flood control during the winter of 1950, and it is estimated that this completed por- tion of the Farmington Project prevented $100,000 in damages during the November-December floods. The estimate of damage for the Littlejohn Creek group was $104,000, and if Farmington Reservoir had been completed all damage would have been prevented. All con- struction activities were suspended during November 1950 for a 10-day period because of rain and high water. Planning studies for the Bear Creek Channel improvements are about 26 percent complete and further planning is delayed until agree- ment is reached with local interests regarding the plan of improve- ment; construction has not been started for this improvement. The November-December 1950 flood damage in the Bear Creek area was approximately $114,000, all of which would have been prevented by the authorized project. Planning for Hogan Reservoir is about 12 percent complete and in- cludes preparation of project plans and investigation of alternative upstream storage sites. Construction work has not been started for this project. The estimate of damages resulting from the November- December 1950 floods on the Calaveras River is $252,000, all of which would have been prevented if both the authorized Hogan Reservoir Project and the recommended Mormon Slough Channel Improvement and Levee Project had been completed and in operation. Total cost of all new work for the project was $2,405,136.82, of which $2,265,930.11 was for Farmington Reservoir, $17,056.99 for Bear Creek Channel improvements, and $122,149.72 for Hogan Reservoir. Total expenditures for the entire project were $2,333,845.16, of which $2,212,382.45 was for Farmington Reservoir and Bear Creek Channel improvements and $121,462.71 for Hogan Reservoir. Proposed operations.

MERCED COUNTY STREAM GROUP, CALIFORNIA Location. The streams comprising the Merced County Stream Group rise in the Sierra Nevada foothillls 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 gen- eral groups; Bear Creek with its tributaries, Black Rascal, Canal, Fahrens, and Burns Creeks; Mariposa Creek with its tributaries, Miles and Owens Creeks; and -Deadman's Creek with its tributaries, Little Deadman's, Big Deadman's and Dutchmans Creek. The latter group crosses an undeveloped area of low grade pasture land and no flood control improvements are provided for this group. The remainder of the Merced County Stream Group drains an upper area of 398 square miles, ranging from mountains to low foothills, and a lower area of 312 square miles of broad alluvial valley. The flow of the streams under consideration is intermittent throughout the year. (See U. S. Geologi- cal Survey Haystack Mountain quadrangle for Burns Reservoir area and Indian Gulch quadrangle for Bear, Owens, and Mariposa Reser- voirs areas.) Existing project. This provides for construction for flood control of (a) a detention reservoir of 7,000 acre-feet capacity on Burns Creek; (b) a detention reservoir of 7,700 acre-feet capacity on Bear Creek; (c) a detention reservoir of 3,600 acre-feet capacity on Owens Creek; (d) a detention reservoir of 15,000 acre-feet capacity on Mari- posa Creek; ,(e) a diversion canal between Black Rascal and Bear Creeks; (f) a diversion canal between Owens and Mariposa Creeks; and (g) channel enlargement on Miles Creek and restoration of im- paired channel capacities of Black Rascal, Burns, Bear, Owens, and Mariposa Creeks. The estimated Federal first cost (July 1951) is $2,770,000 for new work, and $15,000 annually for maintenance and operation of the reservoirs, dams and appurtenant gages. The existing FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2143 project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 473, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest pub- lished map.) Local cooperation. Construction of 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 land, easements and rights-of-way necessary for the construction; (b) bear the expense of all necessary highway and utility changes; (c) com- plete the enlargement of the channel of Miles Creek and restore the channel capacities of Black Rascal, Burns, Bear, Owens, and Mari- posa 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. Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945, approved by the Governor of that State on July 19, 1945, provides for the furnishing of the required assur- ances which were furnished, and accepted by the Secretary of the Army on January 22, 1948. All lands, easements and rights-of-way have been furnished without cost to the United States for Mariposa Dam and Reservoir, Owens Dam and Reservoir and Burns Dam and Reservoir and the additional lands and rights-of-way needed for the project are being furnished by the State of California as required, in accordance with the above assurances. The State of California has been requested to provide the enlargement and restore the channel capacities of the creeks enumerated in (c) above. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Mariposa Dam and Reservoir: Total cost of new work for project plans during the fiscal year was $4,368.74 from Federal funds. Design and preparation of plans and specifications for a cattle underpass was accomplished during July 1950. Construction of the cattle underpass on White Rock Road, near Mariposa Reservoir, was accomplished during November 1950 by contract. Total cost of this work for and at the expense of local interests during the fiscal year was $5,719.40. Owens Dam and Reservoir: Total cost of new work for project plans during the fiscal year was $1,659.61 from Federal funds. Burns Dam and Reservoir: Total cost of new work for project plans during the fiscal year was $3,158.43 from Federal funds. Bear Dam and Reservoir: Preparation of project plans and con- tract plans and specifications was continued. Total cost of new work during the fiscal year was $7,873.37 from Federal funds. Channel improvements, Black Rascal and Owens Creeks: Prepa- ration of project plans was continued. Total cost of new work during the fiscal year was $2,522.60 from Federal funds. Maintenance: Periodic gage reading and operations studies, in- cluding repairs and maintenance of gaging structures, for the Merced County Stream Group was accomplished during the fiscal year by hired labor. Maintenance work by hired labor for the project also included the following: Repair of erosion gullies at Owens and Burns 2144 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Dams, during December 1950; repair valves and intake facilities at Owens, Burns, and Mariposa Dams, during April 1951; and pro- vision of a gate to replace existing one across access road to Mariposa Dam, during May 1951. Total cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $2,586.81 from Federal funds. Total cost of new work for the entire project during the fiscal year was $25,302.15, of which $19,582.75 was from United States funds, and $5,719.40 from contributed funds. The total expenditures for new work were $29,601.19, of which $23,649.16 was United States funds, and $5,952.03 from contributed funds. Total Federal cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $2,586.81. The expenditures were $2,603.82. Condition at end of fiscal year. New work: The project is about 65 percent completed. Construction of this improvement was initiated in March 1948. Mariposa Dam and Reservoir was completed in No- vember 1948, Owens Dam and Reservoir in October 1949, and Burns Dam and Reservoir in January 1950. Plans and specifications have been completed for Bear Dam Outlet Works and are in preparation for the remaining work items of the project. New work items remain- ing to be done include Bear Dam outlet works, Bear Dam and Reser- voir, and Owens and Black Rascal Creeks channel improvements. The completed portion of this project was in operation during the floods of November-December 1950; however, the fact that Bear Dam and Reservoir was not constructed and in operation combined with the impaired capacities of the creek channels in the group results in the area still being subject to considerable flooding. Approximately $396,000 in damages were incurred because of the overflows of the streams of the Merced County Stream Group. The Burns Reservoir prevented an estimated $2,200,000 of damage, of which about $2,000,- 000 would have been in the city of Merced. In addition, the Mariposa and Owens Reservoirs prevented approximately $300,000 in damage, making 'a total of $2,500,000 damage prevented by the completed units of the authorized project. If the entire project had been com- pleted and in operation at the time of the above flood, all flood dam- age which occurred below the dam sites, amounting to $309,000, would have been prevented. Total cost of new work for the project was $1,748,255.17 from United States funds and $37,981.92 from contributed funds, a total of $1,786,237.09. Total expenditures were $1,747,817.21 from United States funds, and $37,981.92 from contributed funds, a total of $1,785,799.13. Maintenance cost and expenditures for the project were $5,004.71, all from Federal funds. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended on June 30, 1951, amounting to $44,178.08, together with allotments of $265,000.00 for new work and $10,000.00 for maintenance during fiscal year 1952, a total of $319,178.08, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1951 ------------- ________________ _ $437.96 New work: Continuation of preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications, by hired labor, entire fiscal year ,---------_--_--_--- .... - $30,000.00 FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2145 New work-Continued Construct Mariposa Creek gaging station, Owens- Mariposa road and Owens Dam abutment drains, by contract, Dec. 1951-Mar. 1952 __------------------ 20,000.00 Initiate construction of Bear Dam, by contract, June 1952 ------------------------------------- 255,000.00 Miscellaneous minor work incidental to orderly prose- cution of work, by hired labor, during fiscal year _ 1,744.83 Total new work_ ------------------------------------ 306,744.83 Maintenance: Gaging and other operational functions including re- pairs to gaging structures and recorders, and other related work for completed reservoirs as required, by hired labor, 1 July 1951-30 June 1952 ---------- $2,000.00 Maintenance of access roads, including gates, drain- age structures, etc., for completed reservoirs, by hired labor, 1 July 1951-30 June 1952 6,300.00 __------------ Miscellaneous maintenance of Mariposa, Owens, and Burns Dams, including but not limited to repair of return channel embankments of Mariposa Outlet Works, repair of backfilled downstream embank- ment at Burns Dam Spillway, repair of erosion of dam slopes, repair of approach channel embank- ments at Owens Dam, and other minor maintenance as required, by hired labor, during fiscal year ____ 3,695.29 Total maintenance ---------------------------------- 11,995.29 Total for all work --------------------------------- 319,178.08 The additional sum of $10,000 is needed to be appropriated for the following scheduled work during the fiscal year 1953: Maintenance: Periodic gage reading and other related work, for completed reser- voirs as required ________ -________________________ $1,500 Miscellaneous repairs and maintenance of gaging structures, outlet works, and embankments at Mariposa, Burns, and Owens Dams __ 8,500 Total for maintenance ____--------------------------------- 10,000 The amount that can be profitably used for maintenance during the fiscal year 1953 is more than the average annual cost during the pre- ceding fiscal years and less than the approved annual maintenance cost because of the fairly recent completion of portions of the project.

ISABELLA RESERVOIR, KERN RIVER, CALIF. Location. The area covered by this project comprises the upper watershed of Kern River, Buena Vista Lake, and Tulare Lake areas and most of that portion of the San Joaquin Valley floor south of Tulare Lake. Kern River is the most southerly of the major streams flowing into the San Joaquin Valley and drains an area of some 2,400 square miles in the Sierra Nevada. North Fork and South Fork, headwaters of Kern River, have their sources in the high Sierra Nevada, flow south 83 and 82 miles, respectively, and join near the town of Isabella to form Kern River, which flows 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 by improved flood and irrigation channels. Under normal conditions of runoff the flow of Kern River below Bakersfield is gradually dissi- pated by irrigation diversions so that Kern River water reaches Tulare Lake only during large floods. (See U. S. Geological Survey quadrangles of the area.) Existing project. This provides for construction of an earthfill dam near the confluence of the North and South Forks of Kern River and an earthfill auxiliary dam across Hot Springs Valley east of the main dam. The earthfill dam across the river will have a crest length of 1,725 feet and a maximum height of 185 feet. A concrete spillway will be constructed in the left abutment of the main dam with a length of 140 feet and a discharge capacity of 53,000 cubic feet per second. The auxiliary dam will have a crest length of 3,325 feet and a maximum height of 100 feet. These structures will create a 550,000 acre-foot reservoir. No initial provisions will be made for power penstocks through the dam at this time. The esti- mated Federal first cost (July 1951) is $20,000,000 for new work FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2147 ($16,255,000 for construction and $3,745,000 for lands and damages) and $71,000 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 Reclama- tion, the Department of the Army, and local organizations, is to be made to the United States by the State or other responsible agency for the conservation storage when used. Local interests state they will meet these requirements. The State of California has officially adopted the project. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Prepara- tion of detailed plans for the project and contract plans and specifi- cations for construction was continued. Educational facilities were furnished and land acquisition (including improvements, disposals and damages) and operation of temporary housing facilities and Government camp was continued. Construction of the administration building and garage by contract was started in July 1950 and com- pleted in January 1951. Relocation of the Government warehouse, radio building, and facilities to the administration area and instal- lation of a telephone switchboard in the administration building was accomplished during the period of December 1950 to April 1951 by hired labor. Construction of an access road to the Government housing area was accomplished December 1950 to May 1951 by con- tract; work placed included 14,485 cubic yards unclassified excavation for roadway and embankment, 1,015 cubic yards base course material, 53 tons liquid asphalt, 6,644 square yards road mix, and 2,748 linear feet barbed-wire fence.

Delivery of slide gates and appurtenances for Borel Canal outlet 2148 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 works, fabricated under supply contract initiated in March 1950, was completed in December 1950; these gates are to be installed under a construction contract not yet awarded. Alteration of Borel Canal and appurtenant facilities, to be accomplished by continuing contract, is about 28 percent complete and is scheduled for completion in Feb- ruary 1952. The first phase of construction under this contract was initiated in January 1951, completed in March 1951, and consisted of relining of the canal within the reservoir area above the auxiliary dam to the canal intake in Kernville and construction of culverts, drains and laterals. Existing telephone and power lines within the canal area were relocated. The second phase of canal modification consisting of fill and riprap on canal banks was started in June 1951 and will be completed about October 1951. Plans and specifications were completed for the third phase of canal modification which con- sists of replacement of existing diversion dams, control gates and flumes. Contracts were under negotiation for relocation of Kernville telephone system and for relocation of telephone lines outside the limits of Isabella Reservoir and to serve the relocated central office of the Kernville telephone system. Negotiations have been under way for continuing contracts to accomplish relocation of Forest Serv- ice facilities from within the reservoir area, for relocation of tele- phone and power transmission facilities, and for relocation of power distribution lines. Actual physical work under the above relocation contracts was not initiated during the fiscal year. Total cost of new work during the fiscal year was $2,175,863.31; total expenditures were $2,162,672.31. Condition at end of fiscal year. New work: Final contract plans are being prepared; land acquisition was continued; educational fa- cilities were furnished and temporary housing was operated and maintained. Construction work on this project was initiated in March 1948 and completion of features by contract was as follows: Partial construction of an earthfill auxiliary dam, January 1949; core drill- ing in June 1948; construction of a core storage warehouse in July 1948; construction of a test fill for the main dam, July 1949; and excavation for the main dam outlet works, January 1950.

KINGS RIVER AND TULARE LAKE, INCLUDING PINE FLAT RESERVOIR, CALIF. Location. The area covered by this project comprises the upper watershed of Kings River, its valley alluvial fan or delta, and the lake bed known as Tulare Lake. The upper basin above the town of Piedra is rugged and mountainous. Below Piedra the river enters the relatively flat alluvial valley where the river divides, one branch known as Fresno Slough flowing north to join the San Joaquin River, and the second south to Tulare Lake, an area which in its unreclaimed state varied from a completely dry condition to a body of water some 750 square miles in extent. There is no natural outlet from this lake as it is separated from the San Joaquin Basin by a low ridge, but lake waters have escaped over this ridge at least once since settlement of the region. Tulare Lake also receives floodwaters of Tule, Kaweah, and Kern Rivers in some years. The area below Piedra, including Tulare Lake, is known as the Kings River service area. (See U. S. Geological Survey quadrangles of the area.) Existing project. This provides for construction of a concrete gravity dam with a gross storage capacity of 1,000,000 acre-feet about 3 miles upstream from Piedra, Calif., and for supplemental channel improvement work. The total crest length of the structure will be 1,820 feet and the maximum height about 440 feet. The overflow spill- way in the river channel will have a gross crest length of about 300 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 390,000 cubic feet per second. Provisions will be made for irrigation and flood control release and penstock outlets for future power use will be located in the right abutment section of the dam. The channel improvements consist of diversion and drainage structures, to control the division of flow between the north and south forks of Kings River, and approximately 71/2 miles of levee and channel improvements on the lower reaches of the Kings River. The estimated Federal first cost (July 1951) is $51,121,000 for new work ($50,406,000 for construction and $715,000 for lands and damages) and $112,000 annually for maintenance and operation. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 630, 76th Cong., 3d sess., which con- tains the latest published map.) Recommended modifications of project. In House Document No. 367, Eighty-first Congress, first session, it was recommended that a power installation be authorized for construction at such time as it may be economically feasible. For an initial installation of 45,000 kilowatts, the first cost is estimated (1948) at $5,500,000, and the annual cost for maintenance and operation at $224,000. Local cooperation. The allocation to local interests for repayment for use of conservation storage when used, has been established in accordance with War Department Civil Appropriation Act, 1947, and 2152 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMIY, 1951 published in House Document 136, Eightieth Congress, first session. The exact amount is to be agreed upon between the Bureau of Reclama- tion of the Department of the interior and the local agencies con- cerned. Negotiations with local interests are now under way. The State of California has officially adopted the project. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preparation of project plans and contract plans and specifications was continued. Land acquisition (including improvements, disposals, and damages) and operation of the Government camp were continued, and educational facilities were furnished. Construction of additional school facilities at the Tivy Union School site by contract initiated in June 1950 was completed in September 1950, with 90 percent of the work accom- plished during the fiscal year; school equipment in connection with this construction was furnished by supply contract in August 1950. Fabrication of sluice gates and appurtenances by continuing supply contract initiated in August 1949 is about 97 percent complete. Con- struction of the main dam by continuing contract initiated in January 1950 is about 16 percent complete; work accomplished during the fiscal year included 58,549 cubic yards excavation, placement of 378,595 cubic yards mass concrete and 247,694 pounds steel reinforce- ment, and 21,387 square yards foundation cleanup, and installation of sluice gates fabricated under the aforementioned supply contract is about 38 percent completed. Fabrication of tainter gates and appur- tenances by supply contract was initiated in July 1950 and is about 7 percent complete. Fabrication of penstock and stop-log gates by supply contract was initiated in December 1950 and was 99 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. Fabrication of elevator and appurtenant equipment for the dam by supply contract was initiated in October 1950 and is 4 percent complete. Installation of a telephone switchboard at the project office, by Government plant and hired labor, was accomplished from November 1950 through May 1951. Installa- tion of gaging stations, by Government plant and hired labor, was started in October 1950 and is 10 percent complete. Construction of Sycamore Creek Road in the vicinity of Trimmer, Fresno County, by continuing contract was initiated in February 1951 and is 35 percent complete; during the fiscal year work consisted of 35 acres cleared and grubbed, 148,632 cubic yards unclassified excavation, and place- ment of 3,108 linear feet miscellaneous metal pipe. Two contracts were negotiated for removal of power distribution lines and for relo- cation of a power transmission line, related telephone line and appur- tenances; actual physical work was not started during the fiscal year. A contract for relocation of United States Forest Service facilities interfering with the Pine Flat project was approved by the Office, Chief of Engineers in June 1951. Total cost of new work during the fiscal year was $7,497,576.06, and total expenditures were $7,870,816.19. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preparation of project plans and contract plans and specifications and acquisition of land were con- tinued. Educational facilities were furnished, and operation of the Government camp and facilities was continued. Construction work on this project was initiated in April 1947, and completion of major features by contract was as follows: Access roads and excavation for the left abutment of the dam, and construction and fencing of Hughes FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2153 Creek-Pine Flat detour road, in fiscal year 1948; excavation for right abutment of dam and access road to the area, provision of 24 portable two-bedroom houses, roads and utilities for the Government camp, and construction of core storage warehouse, in fiscal year 1949; reloca- tion and fencing of Hughes Creek Road from Sunnyside Summit to Trimmer, core drilling, construction of a bridge and measuring weir, and permanent housing and facilities for operating personnel, in fiscal year 1950; and construction of additional school facilities at the Tivy Union School site in fiscal year 1951. Construction of the main dam was initiated in January 1950, is about 16 percent complete, and will be completed about September 1954. Fabrication of sluice gates and appurtenances, started in Au- gust 1949, will be complete about August 1951; fabrication of tainter gates and appurtenances, initiated in July 1950, will be complete about January 1953; fabrication of penstock stop-log gates, initiated in December 1950, will be complete about July 1951; and fabrication of elevator and appurtenances, initiated in October 1950, will be com- plete about April 1954. Construction of Sycamore Creek Road which was started in February 1951 will be completed'about February 1952. Physical work will be initiated under negotiated contracts in fiscal year 1952; removal of power distribution lines will be complete about December 1951 and relocation of power transmission lines, related telephone lines and appurtenances will be completed about October 1952. The project as a whole is about 31 percent complete. Scheduled closure date is the spring of 1953. Work remaining to be done to complete the project includes: Re- moval and/or relocation of power distribution, power transmission, and telephone lines; relocation of existing Forest Service facilities; establishment of sedimentation ranges; installation of gaging sta- tions; foundation grouting and drilling drainage holes at main dam; procurement of penstock emergency gates and hoists, truck-mounted crane, and trashracks ; construction of lockout and access road; rebuild bridge and weir across Kings River; and road relocations, channel improvements, reservoir clearing, and recreational facilities. Construction activities were delayed and damages were incurred to Government facilities and works and to the contractor's plant and equipment in the project area as a result of the November-December 1950 floods. A Government-owned construction bridge and weir across Kings River was partially destroyed and rendered unusable by the floodwaters. Immediate construction of a temporary bridge across the Kings River, required to prosecute project construction, was accom- plished by change order to the main dam contract, and the temporary bridge was completed and opened to traffic in March 1951. If the Pine Flat project had been completed and in operation, the entire amount of damages below the dam site, amounting to $3,008,000, would have been prevented. Total cost of new work to date was $16,165,233.67, and total expen- ditures were $15,418,624.91. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended on June 30, 1951, amounting to $6,746,375.09, and an allotment of $8,000,000 made in fiscal year 1952, a total of $14,746,375.09, will be applied as follows: 2154 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

FOLSOM RESERVOIR, SACRAMENTO RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Location. The Folsom dam site is located on the American River about 21/2 miles above or northeasterly of the town of Folsom in Sacramento County, Calif., and about 1 mile below the confluence of the north and south forks of this stream. The reservoir will extend from the dam site up the main river to this confluence and about 14 miles farther 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 con- tains 2,115 square miles of which 1,875 square miles are above the dam site. (See U. S. Geological Survey Folsom, Auburn, and Placer- ville quadrangles of the area.) Existing project. The authorization provided for the initial con- struction of a dam with gross storage of 355,000 acre-feet, and facili- ties for future power generation. The project, as modified, provides for the reservoir to be constructed with a capacity of approximately 1,000,000 acre-feet and further provides for simultaneous construc- tion of the power facilities by the United States Bureau of Reclama- tion, and subsequent maintenance and operation of the completed project by that agency in conjunction with other units of the Central Valley project. The authorizing acts also provide for the dam to be operated for flood control in accordance with criteria established by the Secretary of the Army. The project provides for construction of a gated concrete gravity dam in the river channel with a maximum height of approximately 340 feet and crest length of 1,400 feet. Earth- fill wing dams with a maximum height of 145 feet on each side of 2156 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 the river will be constructed to complete the closure; the crest length of the right wing dam will be about 6,700 feet and the left wing dam about 2,100 feet. An earth-fill auxiliary dam will be constructed at Mormon Island, about 21/2 miles easterly from the main dam, with a maximum height of 116 feet and a crest length of about 4,800 feet. Eight earth-fill dikes will be constructed for saddle closures in the reservoir perimeter. These dikes will have a total crest length of approximately 11,600 feet and the maximum heights will vary from about 10 feet to 100 feet. Outlets will be provided for irrigation and flood-control releases and for power outlets. The estimated Federal first cost (July 1951) is $57,870,000 for new work, consisting of $55,020,000 for construction and $2,850,000 for lands and damages. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944 (H. Doc. 649, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map), as modified by the American River Basin Development Act (Public Law 356, October 14, 1949, 81st Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation. None required, except payment for conservation costs when used. The State of California has officially adopted the project. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: The prepara- tion of project plans and contract plans and specifications was con- tinued. Planning included preparation of plans and specifications for the main dam by hired labor and experimental grouting of river gravels at the dam site by contract. Land acquisition activities (in- cluding improvements, disposals and damages) and operation of the Government camp facilities were continued. Construction of an ad- ministration building, warehouse and garage, initiated in March 1950 by contract, was completed in August 1950 with 22 percent of the work placed this fiscal year. Power distribution lines in the vicinity of dikes numbered 5 and 6 were relocated, November 1950 to Febru- ary 1951, and power distribution lines in the vicinity of Mormon Island were removed during February 1951, by negotiated contract.

The project as a whole is about 10 percent complete. Design and construction programs of the Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation have been coordinated to provide for orderly prosecution of the project and construction work to be accom- plished by the Corps of Engineers in the interest of power develop- ment has been determined. Work remaining to be done includes initiation of a continuing con- tract for construction of the main dam and appurtenances, which will be awarded in the fall of 1951; continuation of acquisition of lands and improvements; relocation and revision of utilities and roads; reservoir clearing; power features in the main dam for Bureau of Reclamation facilities; sedimentation ranges; and procurement of spillway radial gates, penstock emergency gates and hoists, and gantry crane. The closure date is scheduled for the fall of 1953. Construction activities were delayed and damages were incurred to contract work in place and to Government facilities and works dur- ing the floods of November and December 1950 which exceeded all records for peak height, duration of high flows, and flood volume. The project would have, without any supplemental levee construc- tion, prevented about 90 percent of the approximately $3,000,000 damages which occurred in the adjacent areas of Sacramento down- stream from the project site during the above floods. The total cost of new work to date was $5,743,098.47, and total expenditures were $5,574,421.63. Proposed operations.

KAWEAH AND TULE RIVERS, INCLUDING TERMINUS AND SUCCESS RESERVOIRS, CALIF. Location. The area covered by this project comprises the upper watersheds of Kaweah and Tule Rivers, their valley alluvial fans and the reclaimed Tulare Lake area, their common terminus. Kaweah River, which drains an area of 630 square miles in the Sierra Nevada is formed by the junction of its North, Middle, and South Forks near Three Rivers, flows southwest 10 miles through low foothills and emerges on the valley floor near the town of Lemon Cove. At this point the river divides into two channels, the flow to each being divided equally by control weirs. The northerly channel, known as St. Johns River, flows west 23 miles and unites with Cottonwood Creek to form Cross Creek, which flows thence southwest 35 miles to Tulare Lake. The southerly channel, which continues as Kaweah River, flows south- west 4 miles and then divides into numerous distributary channels. Flows in these channels not diverted for irrigation or lost by seepage cross the delta region and unite with Tule River or Cross Creek to enter Tulare Lake. Tule River, which drains an area of 420 square miles in the Sierra Nevada, adjoining the Kaweah Basin on the south, is formed by the junction of its North and Middle Forks near Spring- ville, flows southwest 13 miles and emerges on the valley floor near the city of Porterville. From this point the river continues west about 40 miles across the alluvial fan to Tulare Lake. (See U. S. Geological Survey quadrangles of the area.) Existing project. This provides for construction of the Terminus and Success Reservoir projects, including supplemental spreading works, at an estimated Federal first cost (July 1951) of $26,380,000 (for Terminus $14,400,000, consisting of $13,647,000 for construction and $753,000 for lands and damages, and for Success $11,980,000, consisting of $11,078,000 for construction and $902,000 for lands and damages), and $13,000 annually for Federal maintenance and opera- tion of the reservoirs. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. R. Flood Control Com- mittee Doc. 1, 78th Cong., 2d sess., and H. Doc. 559, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation. Payment, as determined by the Secretary of the Army upon the basis of continuing studies by the Bureau of Reclama- tion, the Department of the Army, and local organizations, is to be made to the United States by the State or other responsible agency for the conservation storage, when used. Local interests state they will meet these requirements. The State of California has officially adopted the project. Operations and results during fiscal year. a. Terminus Reservoir on Kaweah River: The cost of new work during the year was $21,732.45 and expenditures were $20,581.24 for work on project plans. b. Success Reservoir on Tule River: The cost of new work during the year was $25,513.36 and expenditures were $34,961.78 for work on project plans. Total cost of new work for the project during the year was $47,245.81 and total expenditures were $55,543.02. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project plans and reports are in preparation. Field explorations at Terminus and Success and core 2162 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 drilling at Frazier Valley Dike site for Success Reservoir have been accomplished. Construction work for this project has not been started. Planning for Terminus Reservoir is about 35 percent completed and for Success Reservoir about 44 percent completed. Total cost of new work for the project was $737,859.55, of which $338,352.18 was for Terminus Reservoir and $399,507.37 for Success Reservoir. Total expenditures were $736,096.56. Proposed operations.

LOWER SAN JOAQUIN RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, INCLUDING TUOLUMNE AND STANISLAUS RIVERS, CALIF. Location. The San Joaquin River has its sources in the Sierra Nevada, and flows generally southwest through the mountains and foothills to the vicinity of Friant, where it enters the flat alluvial valley through which it flows west 60 miles to Mendota midway of the valley floor. At Mendota the river turns northwest and flows 157 miles to Mossdale at the head of the San Joaquin delta, an extensive area of reclaimed tidal swamplands through which the river flows with numerous side channels and sloughs to join the Sacramento River at the head of Suisun Bay near Pittsburg. The river drains an area of 17,000 square miles. The Tuolumne and Stanislaus Rivers, two of the principal tributaries of the San Joaquin River, likewise have their FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2163 sources in the Sierra Nevada, and flow in a generally westerly direc- tion through the mountains and foothills to enter the alluvial valley and join the main river from the east in its lower reaches. Stockton, at the head of the delta, and Fresno, just south of the San Joaquin watershed, are the principal commercial and distributing centers serving the area under consideration. (See U. S. Geological survey quadrangles of the area.) 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 New Melones Reservoir on Stanislaus River, Calif., for flood control and other purposes, at an estimated Federal first cost (July 1951) of $46,600,000 ($43,160,000 for construction and $3,440,000 for lands and damages) and $30,000 annually for maintenance and operation; (b) an expenditure toward the first cost of the Cherry Valley Reser- voir and the New Don Pedro Reservoir in the Tuolumne Basin, in amount justified by proportionate benefits to flood control, estimated at $12,000,000 (July 1951) for the equivalent of 340,000 acre-feet of flood-control storage; and (c) construction of channel improvement works and levee construction and reconstruction on San Joaquin River and tributary channels, at an estimated Federal first cost (July 1951) to the United States of $5,107,200. 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.) Local cooperation. (a) New Melones Reservoir (Stanislaus River) : The State of California or other responsible agency will be required to pay for the conservation storage when used. Such payment will be based upon future cost allocation studies by the Department of the Army. The State of California has officially adopted the project. (b) In Tuolumne Basin: Local interests are to construct, maintain, and operate the dams and reservoir, allocate storage for flood control and agree to operate such storage in accordance with rules and regu- lations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. Local interests have agreed by means of a negotiated contract to construct, maintain, and operate in the interest of flood control, the Cherry Valley Reservoir, as well as allocate flood-control storage space in their existing facili- ties until such time as the New Don Pedro Dam and Reservoir is constructed by local interests and flood control storage is provided therein. The existing Don Pedro Reservoir is now being operated for flood control in accordance with regulations. (c) San Joaquin River: Local interests are to (1) furnish flowage rights to overflow certain lands along the main San Joaquin River and all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction of levees; (2) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works in the San Joaquin River and tributary channels, and their subse- quent maintenance and operation; and (3) maintain all levees and channel improvements after completion in accordance with regula- tions prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945, approved by the Governor of that State oil July 19, 1945, provides for the meeting of the latter requirements 2164 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 as to levee and channel improvement work. These assurances will be furnished when required. Recommended modifications of project. In House Document No. 367, Eighty-first Congress, first session, it was recommended that power-generating facilities, not now included in the authorized project be constructed concurrently with and as part of New Melones Dam. For an initial installation of 41,000 kilowatts, the first cost is estimated (1948) at $4,727,000, and the annual cost for maintenance and opera- tion at $194,400. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: a. New Melones (Stanislaus River): There were no operations during the fiscal year. b. Cherry Valley Reservoir, Tuolumne River Basin: Engineering and design studies, including preparation of rules and regulations for flood-control operation, reviewing and approving plans, specifications, and design analyses, were continued. The contractors, city and county of San Francisco, Turlock Irrigation District, and Modesto Irriga- tion District, operated the existing Don Pedro Reservoir facilities for flood control (phase I of the project) in accordance with requirements of the contract in order to obtain immediately a degree of control over Tuolumne River floods. Compilation of technical supporting data and derivation of rules and regulations covering flood-control operations under phase II of the project (Cherry Valley Reservoir) are under way. Construction of the Cherry Valley Reservoir was initiated in September 1950 by the contractors. Work features under way during the fiscal year include core drilling, construction of power and communication lines, and construction of access roads. Plans and specifications were prepared by the contractors for construction of the permanent housing at the dam site and for the diversion and outlet tunnel, stage I. c. Construction of channel improvement works and levee construc- tion on lower San Joaquin River and tributaries: Preliminary engi- neering and design studies were continued during the fiscal year. Two survey contracts for topographic mapping were initiated in May 1951 in order to establish design criteria for the levees and for the purpose of determining flowage-easement requirements; this mapping is ap- proximately 17 percent complete. The total cost of new work for the project during the fiscal year was $1,516,725.38 of which $1,484,139.82 was for Cherry Valley Reser- voir, Tuolumne River Basin and $32,585.56 for lower San Joaquin River and tributaries. No costs were incurred during the year for New Melones Reservoir, Stanislaus River. Total expenditures for the fiscal year were $1,512,051.02, of which $61.52 was for New Melones Reservoir, Stanislaus River, $1,477,551.21 for Cherry Valley Reservoir, Tuolumne River Basin, and $34,438.29 for lower San Joaquin River and tributaries. Condition at end of fiscal year. a. New Melones Reservoir (Stanis- laus River): Preliminary functional planning, including studies of general flood-control and irrigation benefits, has been accomplished; planning is about three percent complete. Definite project plans for this project have not been initiated. Previous maximum flood flows of record were exceeded for the Stanislaus River area during the FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2165 floods of November--December 1950 and approximately 15,000 acres were flooded with resultant flood damages estimated at approximately $1,137,000. All damages below the present Melones Reservoir, in the amount of $1,061,000, would have been prevented if the authorized New Melones Reservoir had been completed and in operation. In addition, damages along the lower San Joaquin River would have been substantially reduced if the project had been completed. b. Cherry Valley Reservoir, Tuolumne River Basin: Engineering and design studies including preparation of flood-control operation criteria, review and approval of plans prepared by the contractor, and design analyses, were made. The contractors have been operating the existing Don Pedro Reservoir facilities for flood control (phase I of the project) since December 1949 in accordance with tentative regu- lations furnished by the district engineer. Construction of Cherry Valley Reservoir was initiated in September 1950 by the contractors; work features included core drilling, construction of power and com- munication lines, and construction of access roads. Plans and specifi- cations were prepared by the contractor for construction of the per- manent housing at the dam site and for the diversion and outlet tunnel, stage I. Work remaining to complete the project includes: Comple- tion of access roads and power and communication lines; construc- tion of permanent housing at the dam site, the diversion and outlet tunnel, and the main dam and spillway; and reservoir clearing. Previous maximum flood flows of record on the Tuolumne River were exceeded during the floods of November-December 1950. Approx- imately 8,100 acres were flooded in the Tuolumne River area during these floods and flood damages of approximately $650,000 were in- curred. It is estimated that operation of the existing Don Pedro Reservoir for flood control under phase I of the project prevented approximately $100,000 in damages along the Tuolumne and lower San Joaquin Rivers. Flood damages of approximately $633,000 would have been prevented along the Tuolumne River below the site of the New Don Pedro Reservoir if the entire authorized project had been completed and in operation and, in addition, damages would have been substantially reduced along the lower San Joaquin River. c. Construction of channel improvement works and levee construc- tion on lower San Joaquin River and tributaries: Preliminary engi- neering and design studies, including topographic mapping surveys, are under way; planning is about 20 percent complete. Contract plans for construction have not been initiated. Previous maximum flood flows of record on the San Joaquin River downstream of the Merced River were exceeded during the November-December 1950 flood. Approximately 88,000 acres were flooded and flood damages of approx- imately $4,643,000 were incurred along the San Joaquin River during these floods. Flood damages of approximately $4,056,000 would have been prevented by completion of the channel and levee works and reservoirs of the authorized project. The total cost of new work for the entire project was $1,801,820.41, of which $63,155.84 was for New Melones Reservoir, Stanislaus River, $1,620,237.08 for Cherry Valley Reservoir, Tuolumne River Basin, and $118,427.49 for lower San Joaquin River and tributaries. Total expenditures for the entire project were $1,798,912.41, of 2166 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 which $70,155.84 was for New Melones Reservoir, $1,613,538.92 for Cherry Valley Reservoir, and $115,217.65 for lower San Joaquin River and tributaries. Proposed operations. a.

SACRAMENTO RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, CALIF., FROM COLLINSVILLE TO SHASTA DAM Location. The Sacramento River rises in the Trinity Mountains in north-central California, flows in a general southerly direction about 374 miles and empties into Suisun Bay, an arm of San Francisco Bay at Collinsville, California. The works covered by this improvement are on the Sacramento River and tributaries from Collinsville to Shasta Dam, about mile 312. (See U. S. Geological Survey quad- rangles of the area for Sacramento River and Upper Butte Basin; Flournoy and Fruto quadrangles for Black Butte Reservoir; and the Tuscan Buttes, Tehama, Redding, and Hooker quadrangles for Table Mountain Reservoir.) Existing project. The project comprises the enlargement of ex- isting levees on Sacramento River between vicinity of Moulton Weir and Ord bend; the construction of new levees from the present levee terminus to vicinity of Chico Landing; construction of a weir in vicinity of Chico Landing, extension of Moulton Weir, and construc- tion of a bypass through Upper Butte Basin; the construction of new levees in lower Butte Basin; the enlargement of existing levees on Feather River; and the enlargement of existing levees in Sutter, Tis- dale, Sacramento, and Yolo Bypasses. In addition to the above, the project includes construction and channel enlargement on the follow- ing minor tributaries of the Sacramento River: Antelope Creek; Chico and Mud Creeks and Sandy Gulch; Butte and Little Chico Creeks; Cherokee Canal; Elder Creek; Deer Creek (Tehama County) ; Thomes Creek, and Willow Creek. The authorization also provides for the construction of Black Butte Dam and Reservoir, an earthfill dam for flood control and water conservation, which is located on Stony Creek, a tributary entering the Sacramento River at mile 190, and westerly from Orland, Glenn County, California; and for the construction of the low-level Table Mountain (Iron Canyon) Dam and Reservoir, including power facilities, located on the Sacramento River a few miles above Red Bluff, in Tehama and Shasta Counties, Cali- fornia. The above levee construction supplements the program of levee improvements which are being accomplished pursuant to the Flood Control Act of March 1, 1917, as amended by subsequent acts, including the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941, and which are reported by California Debris Commission under Improvement No. 4, "Sacramento River, California, Flood Control."

With respect to conservation storage to be provided by the Table Mountain and Black Butte Reservoirs, payment, as determined by the Secretary of the Army upon the basis of continuing studies by the Bureau of Reclama- tion, the Department of the Army, and local organizations, is to be made to the United States by the State or other responsible agency for this storage when used. Chapter 1514 of the Statutes of 1945, State of California, approved July 19, 1945, provides for the furnishing of the required assurances of local cooperation as to levee and channel improvement work. These assurances have been furnished and accepted. All lands and rights-of-way required to date have been furnished by the State of California. Operations and results during fiscal year. a. Construction and en- largement of levees and local improvements on Sacramento River and major and minor tributaries: Channel improvement and levee con- struction along Little Chico and Butte Creeks from highway 99E downstream 8.7 miles, near Chico, California, was initiated in July 1950, by contract, and is 70 percent complete; during the fiscal year 1,059 acres were cleared; and 736,988 cubic yards levee embankment, 77,981 pounds steel reinforcement, 372 tons cobble riprap, 884 cubic yards concrete, 624 tons rock and gravel, and 4,911 feet, board measure, lumber were placed. Advance planning, including preparation of de- tailed plans and contract plans and specifications, was continued. The Federal cost of new work during the fiscal year was $587,218.44, and expenditures were $545,167.73. b. Black Butte Reservoir: The cost of new work during the fiscal year was $7,569.62 for preliminary investigations and planning studies for the construction of Black Butte Reservoir. The expenditures were $11,835.96. c. Table Mountain Reservoir: No work was done, no costs were in- curred, and there were no expenditures during the fiscal year. Total cost of new work for the project during the fiscal year was $594,788.06 and total expenditures were $557,003.69, FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2169 Condition at end of fiscal year. a. Construction and enlargement of levees and local improvements on Sacramento River and major and minor tributaries: Advance planning, including preparation of de- tailed plans and contract plans and specifications and site explora- tions, was continued and is about 24 percent completed. Construction of levees on north and south banks of Deer Creek, Tehama County, was completed in November 1949. Channel improvement and levee construction along Little Chico and Butte Creeks from highway 99E downstream 8.7 miles, near Chico, California, initiated in July 1950 by contract, is 70 percent complete and will be completed about No- vember 1951. The project is about 5 percent complete. Levee work remaining to be done includes enlargements of existing levees on Sacramento River between Moulton Weir and Ord Bend; on Feather River between Marysville and Gridley; and on Sutter, Tisdale, Yolo, Lower Yolo, and Sacramento Bypasses; construction of new levees on Sacramento River from Butte City to Chico Landing and in Lower Butte Basin. In addition to the above, the project in- cludes construction and channel enlargement on the following minor tributaries of the Sacramento River: Antelope Creek; Chico, Mud, and Sandy Gulch Creeks; Ash and Roberts Creeks; Cherokee Canal; Elder Creek; Thomes Creek; and Willow Creek. Construction of bypass levees and necessary works of improvements for the protec- tion of the Upper Butte Basin, as authorized by the Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950 (H. Doc. 367, 81st Cong.), also remains to be accomplished. Total cost of new work was $1,435,469.71 and total expenditures were $1,376,960.04. b. Black Butte Dam and Reservoir: Preliminary investigations and planning studies, including site explorations for the construction of the reservoir, initiated during fiscal year 1950, were continued; plan- ning is about 11 percent complete. Construction has not been initiated for this project. Total cost of new work was $96,839.86, and total expenditures were $96,839.86. c. Table Mountain (Iron Canyon) Dam and Reservoir: Advance planning for the project is about 15 percent completed. Planning for the reservoir has been indefinitely delayed because of lack of agree- ment among local interests and State and Federal agencies concerned as to the need, with respect to flood control and economic justification, for construction of the reservoir at the present time, particularly since the Upper Butte Basin Bypass plan for flood protection has been authorized. Total cost of new work was $616,108.07. Total expenditures were $639,108.07. The storms and flood flows during the November-December 1950 floods were of relatively minor proportions on the upper Sacramento River and tributaries, causing damages estimated at about $900,000. These damages, consisting principally of crop and livestock losses and damage to utilities, were mostly confined within floodways of the existing Sacramento River Flood Control Project. It is estimated that the authorized projects, if constructed, would have prevented 2170 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 about $50,000 of the damages which occurred outside of floodways, which amounted to some $280,000. Total cost of new work for the entire project was $2,148,417.64. Total expenditures were $2,112,907.97. Proposed operations, a. Sacramento River and major and minor tributaries: The balance unexpended on June 30, 1951, amounting to $473,039.96, and accounts receivable of $126.60, a total of $473,- 166.56, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1951 ---------------------------------- $58,636.27 New work: Continuation of engineering and design studies, in- cluding completion of topographic surveys of Butte Basin, by hired labor, entire fiscal year ____ $209,075.29 Completion of levee construction on Little Chico and Butte Creeks, downstream from U.

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 south- westerly 85 miles and empties into Sevier Lake which has no outlet. Redmond is on the west bank of the river 155 miles above its mouth. San Pitch River enters Sevier River from the east 12 miles below Redmond. The section of Sevier River Valley in this project extends from the crossing of United States Highway No. 89, near Salina, about 3 miles above Redmond, downstream to the head of Sevier Bridge Reservoir, a total distance of 25 miles. The drainage area above Redmond is 3,820 square miles. Upstream from the section under consideration the basin consists of rugged plateaus and moun- tains cut by narrow stream valleys. Between Salina and the San Pitch River, the stream flows through a mountain valley averaging about 4 miles wide. Sediments' carried from the steeper upstream areas and deposited in the valley section have raised the stream bed about 10 feet during the past 40 years. The channel, which in 1900 could carry about 2,600 cubic feet per second, now has a bankful capacity of about 400 cubic feet per second and is bordered by ex- tensive swamps. Existing project. The plan provides for the imiprovement 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 WVestview Diversion Dam at its relocated site to Redmond Lake Dam, and of two diversion dams, at an estimated cost (July 1951) to the United States of $929,000 for construction. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 614, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation. Local interests are to contribute $48,000 addi- tional to the first Federal cost, and furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will (a) provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction of the works; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; (c) construct the three new highway bridges and the irrigation flume required, extend and improve the two irrigation canals, extend the outlets of the exist- ing tile drainage system to the improved river channel, and construct the open drainage ditch at Redmond; and (d) maintain and operate all the works after completion in accordance with regulations pre- scribed 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. New work: Repairs and related work were accomplished at the Westview and Gunnison- Fayette diversion structures by contract during the period of October 1950 through March 1951. River flow diversion and foundation un- watering was accomplished. Performance of work resulted in place- ment of the following work items : 5,180 cubic yards unclassified excavation; 2,540 pounds steel reinforcement and 8,337 pounds mis- cellaneous metals; 2,602 tons sand and gravel in filter blankets; 2172 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 2,333 tons derrick stone, 269 tons dumped rock, and 701 tons pervious chinking in derrick stone blankets; 480 cubic feet intrusion grouting; 2,806 square feet steel sheet piling; 990 cubic yards pervious backfill and 557 cubic yards impervious backfill. Total cost of new work during the fiscal year was $108,156.47 and total expenditures were $108,748.46. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction under this improve- ment was initiated in July 1948. The channel improvement and levee construction, including Westview and Gunnison-Fayette Diversion structures, were completed in December 1949 and temporary repairs to Westview Diversion Dam were made in May 1950. Permanent repairs to the structures were completed in March 1951. All con- struction work under this improvement has been completed. Total cost to date for new work was $965,435.37, of which $917,- 435.37 were United States funds and $48,000 were contributed proj- ect funds. Total expenditures were-$965,165.60, of which $917,165.60 were United States funds and $48,000 were contributed project funds. Proposed operations.

SPANISH FORK RIVER, UTAH Location. Spanish Fork River rises in the Wasatch Mountains in the southeastern part of Utah County, Utah, and flows northwesterly to Utah Lake, a component of the Jordan River system draining into Great Salt Lake near Salt Lake City. The flood-control improve- ments are located in the lower 13 miles of the river near Spanish Fork, Utah. FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2173 Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the con- trol of floods by improving the river channel and constructing levees for a distance of about 6.7 miles from the mouth of the river at Utah Lake upstream to the county highway bridge west of the town of Spanish Fork, and improving about 2 miles of the channel at critical points through a reach of about 6.3 miles upstream from the county highway bridge. Modification of two diversion dams, revision of bridge and road facilities, and .provisions of necessary protective works at bridge abutments and piers within the limits of the improve- ments would be required. The project will provide a substantial flood protection for 2,250 acres of improved land in the basin. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. (See H. Dec. 518, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest map.) The approved estimated Federal first cost (revised in July 1951) is $200,000 and estimated cost to local interest is $51,000. Local cooperation. See pages 4-5 for requirements. In addition, local interests are required to bear the expense of all necessary altera- tions of roads, bridges, utilities, and irrigation works. The necessary assurances have not been requested from local interests pending com- pletion of detailed project plans. Operations and results during fiscal year. None. Condition at end of fiscal year. No work has been accomplished to date. Proposed operations. No funds are available and no operations are proposed for fiscal years 1952 and 1953. 24. SALT LAKE CITY, JORDAN RIVER, UTAH Location. The Jordan River has its source in Utah Lake, north central Utah, flows northward through a mountain gap for 9 miles, then continues north for 51 miles to enter Great Salt Lake about 15 miles north of Salt Lake City. The flood-control improvements are located in and adjacent to Salt Lake City. Existing project. The authorized plan of improvement provides for the construction of flood-control works on Jordan River at Salt Lake City, Utah, consisting of a dike and control structures in the river and in the heading of the Surplus Canal at their junction, and by dredging and improving the channel of the river from the southern boundary of the city downstream for a distance of approximately 8.9 miles; enlarging and extending Surplus Canal, with a levee on the east bank, from its heading on Jordan River for a distance of about 7.2 miles; and by modifying existing railroad, highway, and utility facilities. The proposed improvement would provide complete protection to the area adjacent to Jordan River through Salt Lake City from anticipated floods on that stream. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946: (See H. Doc. 562, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest map.) The approved estimated Federal first cost (revised in July 1951) is $1,021,000 and estimated cost to local interests is $290,800. Local cooperation. See pages 4-5 for requirements. In addition, local interests are required to bear the expense of all necessary alter- ations and construction of highway facilities, irrigation works, and 2174 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 other utilities except railroad bridges and control structures at the junction of Jordan River and the Surplus Canal. The necessary assurances have not been requested from local interests pending com- pletion of detailed project plans. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work : Preparation of definite project plan was continued and a public hearing was held in Salt Lake City, Utah, in February 1951 regarding the plan of improvement. The cost of new work during the fiscal year was $1,454.00 and the expenditures were $1,682.61. Condition at end of fiscal year. Definite project plan is under way; planning is about 50 percent complete. Construction work has not been initiated for this project. Total cost of new work was $42,398.59, and total expenditures were $42,397.37. Proposed operations.

MAGNA, LITTLE VALLEY WASH, UTAH Location. Little Valley Wash rises on the northeast slope of the Oquirrh Mountains in the western part of Salt Lake County and discharges upon the flat land in the northwestern section of the valley. Water from the stream eventually finds its way directly into Great Salt Lake or is lost through evaporation and transpiration in the flat lands between Magna and the lake. Magna is located on the debris cone where Little Valley Wash debouches from the mountains. Existing project. The plan of improvement consists of a channel about 1.1 miles long extending from the mouth of the canyon north- ward to an existing debris basin formed by a circular levee. The upper 5,000 feet of the channel would be concrete-lined and a levee would be constructed on the east side of the channel adjacent to the town. Necessary modifications to bridges, utilities, and irrigation fa- cilities would be made. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. (See HI. Doc. 562, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest map.) The estimated Fed- FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2175 eral first cost (July 1951) is $619,000, and the cost to local interests, $21,000. Local cooperation.See pages 4-5 for requirements. In addition local interests are required to assume the responsibility for construction of culverts at highway and irrigation canal crossings. The necessary assurances have not been requested from local inter- ests, pending completion of detailed project plans. Operations and results during fiscal year. None.

HUMBOLDT RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, NEV. Location. Humboldt River rises in the mountains of northeastern Nevada near the town of Wells and for about two-thirds of its length flows generally westward to Winnemucca, thence southwestward for the remainder of its length to its end in the evaporation pans of Humboldt Lake and Carson Sink in western Nevada. The river basin of approximately 16,700 square miles is a high semiarid plateau crossed by numerous steep mountain ranges separated by broad, flat valleys. The length of the river valley is about 300 miles, however, the river is much longer due to its extensive meandering. The prin- cipal headwater tributaries are North Fork and Marys River from the north and South Fork from the south. There are no important tributaries along the lower two-thirds of the river below Palisade, Nev. Reese River, which joins Humboldt River near Battle Moun- tain, has a relatively large drainage area but contributes flow very infrequently; and Little Humboldt River, which formerly joined the main stream near Winnemucca, is no longer a surface tributary due to the formation of a sand barrier across the lower end of its valley. Elevations in the basin vary from about 4,000 feet in the Carson Sink to about 10,000 feet in the Independence Mountains at the headwaters of North Fork, and about 12,000 feet in the Ruby Mountains at the headwaters of South Fork. Below Palisade, the slope of Humboldt River averages about 2.5 feet per mile of actual channel length. Existing project. The project provides for improvement of Hum- boldt River and tributaries, in Nevada, for flood control and other purposes, by construction of three storage reservoirs on headwaters tributaries, minor channel improvements at critical locations along Humboldt River above Rye Patch Reservoir, and a system of drain- age canals, a pumping plant, and a dike to confine water to the lower portion of Humboldt Lake, for drainage improvement in Lovelock Valley. The storage reservoir dams are to be earthfill structures and are in the general vicinity of Elko, Nev., with storage reservoir capacities as follows: 2176 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, 1U. S. AR1MY, 1951 Hylton Reservoir on the South Fork of Humboldt River, 120,000 acre-feet; Devils Gate Reservoir on the North Fork of Humboldt River, 80,000 acre-feet; and Vista Reservoir on Marys River, 50,000 acre-feet.

The improvement was adopted by the Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950. (See H. Doc. 586, 81st Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation. Local interests are to contribute $2,762,000 toward the first Federal cost of the dam and reservoirs prior to initiation of construction, and in addition furnish assurances satis- factory to the Secretary of the Army that they will: (a) Furnish without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of- way necessary for the channel and major drainage improvements and make all utility revisions required; (b) construct all lateral drains and appurtenant facilities needed to supplement the major drainage improvements and to assure effective drainage in Lovelock Valley; (c) maintain and operate all channel and drainage improvements and appurtenant works after completion, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; (d) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction of channel and drainage improvements and appurtenant works; and (e) enter into an agreement among themselves as to the method of operations of the reservoirs for conservation subject to flood control priority. Operations and results during fiscal year. None. Condition at end of fiscal year. No work has been accomplished to date. Proposed operations. No funds are available and no operations are proposed for fiscal years 1952 and 1953. FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2177 27.

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 2433. (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 Har- bor Act of March 2, 1907. For further details, see page 1992 of Annual Report for 1915; page 1889, Annual Report for 1931, and page 1845, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 7 feet deep and 150 feet wide at low water from Celilo Falls to Wallula, with no specified depth or width between Wallula and the mouth of the Snake River; for an approach channel 6 feet deep at low water, from the navigation channel in the Columbia River to the site of port development at Arlington, Oreg.; for removal of obstructions in the channel from the mouth of the Snake River to Kennewick, Wash.; and for an approach channel 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 (1849) reached a stage of 341/2 feet at Umatilla. Freshets due to rains sometimes occur in the early winter, but rarely RIVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, ORE., DISTRICT 2189 exceed a 9-foot stage. Ice conditions, usually occurring in January or February, sometimes suspend navigation for 2 weeks or more. The McNary Dam authorized by River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, will, when completed, obviate the necessity of channel work between the lower end of Umatilla Rapids and the mouth of the Snake River. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951 is $1,599,600 ex- clusive 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 1 Apr. 8, 1935 Emergency Relief Appropriation Act authorized the existing project as an emergency relief project. Rivers and Harbors Committee Aug. 30, 1935 Adopted existing project as a river and harbor project. Doc. 16, 73d Cong. 2d sess.

The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides that for each of the Arlington and Kennewick channels local interests give assurance that they will construct a suitable freight terminal, open to all on equal terms, and for the Kennewick channel that they furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the improvements and their subsequent maintenance, when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvements. Assurances of cooperation for work at Arlington were approved December 29, 1947, but a suitable freight terminal has not yet been constructed. 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; and a 300,000-bushel capacity grain elevator is located at Arlington, Oreg. Other facilities for handling bulk grain from truck to river craft, but without rail connections, are as follows: Two private warehouses at Port Kelly, Wash (mile 110.6 above Celilo), with capaci- ties of 40,000 and 44,000 bushels; a 340,000-bushel elevator at Umatilla (mile 88 above Celilo) ; and a 40,000-bushel elevator at Blalock (mile 32 above Celilo). There are privately owned storage facilities for handling petroleum products with capacities and locations as follows: At Pasco, Wash. (mile 127.2 above Celilo), 5,000,000 gallons with rail, truck, and water connections; at Attalia, Wash. (mile 117 above Celilo), 4,381,000 gallons with truck and water connections; and at Umatilla, Oreg. (mile 88 above Celilo), 14,455,825 gallons of which 8,155,825 gallons has rail connections and 6,300,000 gallons with truck and water connections only. There is a railroad located on each bank of the river, but there is no physical connection between the railroad and the river except as noted. At Irrigon, Oregon, there is a privately owned wharf for the shipment of lumber and general cargo by barge. 2190 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Operations and results durinq fiscal year. Maintenance: During September and October 1951 the Corps of Engineers dredge No. 501, dredged Four O'Clock and Hells Gate Rapids to project depth of 7 feet. A total of 21,215 cubic yards of sand, boulders and gravel was re- moved. Hydrographic survey condition surveys were made by Govern- ment plant and hired labor. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year $25,499.65 all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is approxi- mately 90 percent complete. The authorized 7 foot channel 150 feet wide has been completed to the foot of Umatilla Rapids but channel rectification at Indian Rapids, Squally Hook Rapids and Owyhee Rapids remain to complete this stretch of the project. The controlling depth between Celilo Falls and the foot of Umatilla Rapids is 7 feet. Construction of McNary Dam at Umatilla Rapids has been under- way since May 5, 1947. Navigation past McNary Dam through the old Umatilla Rapids channel along the Oregon shore was closed on October 10, 1950, when the last river tow passed through the closure section. On December 16, 1950, the navigation lock was officially opened to river traffic. Navigation through McNary Lock was interrupted from May 19 through June 1, 1951, due to flood stages overtopping the temporary upstream mitre gate. The movement of petroleum products past the dam was effected during this period by means of a temporary pipe line around the navigation lock. Approximately 18 feet of drop is effected by the navigation lock during low flows with 28 feet of drop at flood flow of 500,000 cubic feet per second. The present pool length with temporary controlled elevation of 271 varies between 25 and 27 miles with discharges ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 second feet at McNary Dam. The McNary Dam when completed will create a slack water pool of more than project depths from the McNary Dam to Kennewick, Wash. The total costs and expenditures have been $2,112,577.04 of which $1,356,584.37 (including $400,000 Emergency Relief funds) was for new work and $755,992.67 for maintenance. Proposed operations. An allotment of $40,000 for maintenance during the fiscal year 1952 will be applied as follows: Dredging channel below McNary Dam by Corps of Engineers dredge 501 about two months (August and September 1951) ---------- $34,770 Condition surveys by hired labor ___----------------------------- 5,230 Total ---------------------------------------------- $40,000 The sum of $40,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1953 for maintenance consisting of channel dredging and condition surveys.

THE DALLES DAM, COLUMBIA RIVER, WASH. AND OREG. Location. The site of this project is on Columbia River at the head of the pool behind Bonneville Dam, approximately 192.5 miles above the mouth of the river and 90 miles east of Portland, Oreg. Existing project. This project provides for a dam, power plant, navigation lock and appurtenant facilities. The improvement will provide for navigation and hydroelectirc power generation. The dam is designed for a normal pool at elevation 160 mean sea level and a maximum pool at elevation 176 mean sea level. The normal pool will create a reservoir extending upstream about 25 miles to the proposed John Day damsite. The total length of The Dalles Dam will be ap- proximately 8,600 feet and will consist of an earth and rock embank- ment on the Oregon shore, a powerhouse, spillway, and a concrete non-overflow section connecting the spillway to the navigation lock located at the right abutment. Fish passing facilities including 2 ladders will be provided. The 2,150-foot powerhouse will have pro- vision for 16 units with 14 units installed initially, substructure for 4 additional units and skeleton substructure for 2 future units. All units are to be 78,000 kilowatts capacity. The spillway dam will be 1,370 feet long and located near the right abutment. The overflow crest at elevation 119.0 mean sea level will be surmounted with 23 gates which will provide capacity to pass a design flood of 2,290,000 cubic feet per second. The deck will be at elevation 185.5 mean sea level and will provide a service road and track for two gentry cranes . The naviga- tion lock will have clear plan dimensions of 86 feet by 675 feet and a single lift of about 87.5 feet. The lock will include a downstream and an upstream guard wall to protect boats and tows from adverse currents. The entire structure will be founded on Columbia River basalt. The estimate of cost for new work revised in 1951 is $348,372,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved May 17, 1950, House Document 531, 81st Congress, 2d session.

There are no dams in the canal. The lower end of the canal is about 4 miles and the lower end of the Threemile Rapids about 11/2 miles above The Dalles, Oreg. The normal pool level at the lower end of the canal has an eleva- tion of 72.5 feet above mean sea level and the highest flood 114.2 feet above mean sea level. At the upper end of the canal the normal freshets are about 18 feet and the maximum rise 33 feet. The canal was designed to operate to a stage of 18 feet at the upper pool and is then "drowned out" until the river recedes to a stage of 18 feet. The actual cost for new work was $4,669,092, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The estimate of annual cost of opera- tion and care, made in 1948, is $172,000. 2194 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905 (Annual Report, 1904, p. 3475). Operation and care of the canal were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the pro- visions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. For latest published map see Annual Report for 1915, page 3380. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. None. Operations and results during fiscal year. The canal and locks were in continuous operation throughout the fiscal year except for the periods from 1:05 p.m. June 18 to 6 :25 p.m. July 7, 1950 due to high water; from 2:30 p.m. Oct. 9 to 6:30 a.m. Oct. 13, 1950 for inspection and repairs to rest pier of bridge No. 5 and to canal lining and from 8 :00 a.m. Nov. 8 to 5 :30 p.m. Nov. 9 1950 for repairs to inshore un- watering valve at Big Eddy Lock.

Expenditures were $132,974.91. Condition at end of fiscal year. The canal and locks were completed in 1919. The originally constructed tandem locks were converted into a single lift lock in 1941. The available dimensions of the locks and canal are inadequate for the existing traffic. Navigation interests continue to request enlarge- ment and modernization of these facilities. The Dalles Dam, Colum- bia River, Washington and Oregon, a multiple purpose project will when completed provide adequate navigation facilities and will inun- date the existing facilities of "The Dalles-Celilo Canal". Funds have been allotted for engineering and design for The Dalles Dam and pre- liminary engineering work is underway. The existing facilities of The Dalles-Celilo canal are being and will be maintained until navi- gation facilities in connection with The Dalles Dam are completed. Total costs under the existing project have been $6,402,252.92 of which $4,669,092.33 was for new work, $5,445.17 for maintenance, and $1,727,715.42 for operation and care.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT BONNEVILLE, OREG. Location. On the Columbia River, 42 miles east of Portland, Oreg., about 144 miles above the mouth of the river. For description of the Columbia River see page 2433. Existing project. This project provides for a dam, power plant, and lock, for power and navigation. The spillway dam extends across the main river channel from the Washington shore to Bradford Island, which divides the river at this point. The overflow crest at 24 feet above mean sea level is surmounted by 18 vertical-lift steel gates placed between piers which extend to elevation 99 feet where a service roadway permits the operation of two 350-ton gantry cranes for regu- lating the gates. The powerhouse extending across Bradford slough to the Oregon shore has an installation of 10 units, consisting of 2 units of 43,200 kilowatts each and 8 units of 54,000 kilowatts each, totaling 518,400 kilowatts. The ordinary and extreme fluctuations of the river at the lower lock gate are about 21 and 47 feet, respectively. The project includes fish ladders and locks to serve both the main channel and the Bradford slough channel. The lock and powerhouse are founded on andesite, and the main dam rests upon solidified sedimentary rock of volcanic origin. The pool created by the dam provides a navigable channel with depth of 30 feet and over between Bonneville and Big Eddy, a distance of 47 miles. The principal data concerning the ship lock and spillway dam are shown in the following table: 2196 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

COLUMBIA RIVER BETWEEN VANCOUVER, WASH., AND THE DALLES, OREG. Location. On "Columbia River between the Interstate Bridge at Vancouver, Wash., 106.5 miles above the mouth, and The Dalles, Oreg., mile 191.0, a distance of 84.5 miles. For description of Columbia River see page 2224. Existing project. This provides for a channel 27 feet deep at low water and 300 feet wide between Vancouver, Wash., and The Dalles, Oreg., 85 miles; a channel 10 feet deep at low-water and 300 feet wide at the upstream entrance to Oregon slough, Oregon; a suitable turn- ing basin adjacent to the site of port development in the vicinity of Camas and Washougal, Wash.; a boat basin at Hood River, Oreg., 500 by 1,300 feet and 10 feet deep at normal Bonneville pool level, with a connecting channel of the same depth to deep water, and a protecting breakwater on the easterly side; a barge channel to the waterfront at Bingen, Wash., 10 feet deep at normal Bonneville pool level, 200 feet wide and approximately 1 mile long, and for an access channel 7 feet deep at normal Bonneville pool level, 100 feet wide and approximately 1,000 feet long, to a natural mooring basin for small boats near the east end of the channel; and for the construction of The Dalles Harbor, Oreg., to provide a breakwater and shear boom pro- tected basin approximately 400 by 800 feet in size with depth of 8 feet below a pool elevation of 72.5 feet mean sea level. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at Vancouver is about 21/2 feet and at Bonneville about 0.2 foot at low stages of the river. Extreme tidal ranges are about 3 feet and 0.4 foot, respectively. Annual freshets average about 21 feet at Vancouver, while the highest known stage reached 33 feet above low water. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951 is $6,359,500. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $260,000.

S. ARMY, 1951 tional cost of disposing of dredged material behind bulkheads pro- vided by them; and provides that no dredging will be performed by the United States within 50 feet of the proposed dock. The act of July 24, 1946, provides that for improvements at Hood River, Oreg., and at Bingen, Wash., local interests furnish free of cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way, agree to main- tain depths in the basins, and to construct, operate, and maintain necessary mooring facilities and public wharf available to all on equal terms. For The Dalles, the act of July 24, 1946, provides that local interests (a) furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way required for new work, and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work, and for subsequent maintenance when and as required, (b) provide necessary bulkhead, and (c) agree to construct, maintain, and operate within the basin suitable moorages and a public landing with adequate supply facilities, open to all on equal terms. Assurances of local cooperation for The Dalles Harbor were approved by the Secretary of the Army, October 5, 1948, and for Hood River January 28, 1949. Terminal facilities. The only terminal facilities at present avail- able or suitable for ocean vessels on the stretch of the river under the project are at The Dalles, Oreg. The port of Camas-Washougal has constructed a wharf 528 feet in length at Washougal, Wash., which will be available for ocean vessels when an adequate entrance channel is provided. At the port of The Dalles (mile 44 above Bonneville) there is a municipal wharf 125 by 1,100 feet for use of both ocean vessels and river boats. There are two one-story timber and corrugated-iron ware- houses, each 94 by 461 feet on this wharf with rail connections. There is also a municipal oil terminal consisting of a concrete and timber wharf, 27 by 193 feet, located about a mile below the main wharf. There are private storage tanks with a total capacity of 2,300,000 gallons located near this terminal for handling petroleum products from ocean vessels and river boats. Storage tanks have rail and truck connections. A private elevator with a capacity of 40,000 bushels and a public elevator of 868,000 bushels capacity for handling bulk grain to ocean or river craft are also located at The Dalles. The public elevator has rail and truck connections. There is a privately owned rail connection about three-fourths mile below the municipal wharf where certain types of cargo may be handled between railroad cars and river boats or barges, by means of a derrick of 22-ton capacity. The facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance dredging with Government plant and hired labor was accomplished during October 1950. Shoals below the entrance to Bonneville Lock and at Multnomah Falls, Corbett, Leisure Point, and Fishers Landing were removed providing a controlling depth of 15 feet in the channel. A total of 308,172 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $51,625.28. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $4,706. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $56,331.28 all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is approx- imately 52 percent complete. Dredging of the main channel between RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, ORE., DISTRICT 2205 Vancouver and Bonneville was completed to project dimensions of 27 feet deep and 300 feet wide on October 12, 1949. This channel, at the present time is used for barge transportation and log towing and is maintained to a depth of 15 feet which is adequate for existing traffic. Depths of 20 feet or more are available between Bonneville and The Dalles. Construction The Dalles Harbor authorized by the River and Harbor Act of 1946, Senate Document 89, 79th Congress was started March 8, and completed October 17, 1949. No construction work has been done on the 27 foot channel between Bonneville and The Dalles, the channel at the upper entrance to Oregon Slough, the Camas-Washougal turning basin, the Hood River boat basin, the Bingen channels, or the improvement of the lower entrance to Bonneville canal. Total costs and expenditures have been $3,548,915.51 of which $3,074,513.32 was for new work and $474,402.19 for maintenance. Proposed operations. An allotment of $50,000 during the fiscal year 1952 will be applied to maintenance as follows: Hydrographic condition surveys -------------------------------- $6,700 Maintenance dredging to restore to navigable depth of 15 feet and channel width of 200 to 300 feet between Vancouver, Wash. and Bonneville, Oreg. by Government plant and hired labor ___-___- -_________-____43,300 Total ------------------------------------------------ 50,000 The sum of $57,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1953 for maintenance consisting of condition surveys and channel dredging to a depth of 15 feet.

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 Columbia River about 100 miles from the sea. Its length from the source of Middle Fork is about 294 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6155 and the U. S. Geological Survey map, State of Oregon.) The Yamhill River rises in the Coast Range, flows easterly, and empties into the Willamette River about 42 miles above Portland. Its length from the source of the South Fork is about 52 miles. 2206 . . REPORT OF CHIEF OF ,ENQINEERSpU, ARM,1951 Previousprojects.Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of1March 3, 1871, and July 13 1892.

This provides for improvement of Willaette River between Portland (14 miles above themobuth) and Oregon City (26 miles above the mouth) by a channel 8 feet deep at low water, 200 feet: wide below Cedar Island and 150 feet wide thence to Oregon City; for such channel improvement and contraction works as. may be necessary to secure, with stream flow regulation, controlling depths of 6 feet at low ,water from Oregon City to the mouth of Santiam River (108.5 miles above the mouth), ,,and 5 feet from that pint, to Albany (120 miles above the mouth); for a channel. 2.5 to 3-5ifeet deep at low water and of no prescribed width from Albany ,toCor- vallis (132 miles above the mouth); a..and for necessary snagging be- tween 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 mounth to McMinnville (18 miles) to be secured by means of a lock and darnnear Lafayette and the removal of obstructions. The section of Willamette River in the vicinity of Willamette Falls at Oregon City is covered by a project described on page 2209 of this report. The following table shows the principal features of the lock and dam in Yamhill River: Location_-- -_-- -------------- 11/2; miles below Lafayette, Oreg., 8 miles above the mouth.

For the Willamette River below the falls at Oregon City ordinary fluctuation of stage of water is 15-feet and the extreme fluctuation due to flood conditions 35 to 50 feet. Above Oregon City the ordi- nary fluctuation is 12 to 20 feet and the extreme is 20 to 27 feet. For the Yamhill River the ordinary fluctuation is 35 feet and the extreme 48 feet. Tidal changes vary from about 21/2 feet at the mouth of the Willamette to zero 26 miles above the mouth. The approved estimate (1951) of cost for new work is $2,307,000. The latest (1948) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $547,000 including $15,000 for operations and care of the lock and dam in Yamhill River.

Dredging by hired plant and dredging and snag removal by Government plant and hired labor maintained sufficient depths for the requirements of present naviga- tion. Releases of storage water from the completed Fern Ridge, Cottage Grove, and Dorena Reservoirs aided materially during low water periods in providing sufficient depths for existing traffic. For more detailed information on reservoir releases see page 2247 of this report. The various items of maintenance and their costs during the fiscal year were as follows.

Expendi- tures were $389,514.15. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is approx- imately 65 percent complete. The 8-foot channel between Portland and Oregon City and the 21/2 to 31/2 -foot channel between Oregon City and Albany were completed in 1939. The 21/2 to 31/2 -foot channel between Albany and Corvallis was completed in 1945. The remain- 2208 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 ing work required to complete the project consists of the construction of such contraction works and channel improvements as may be nec- essary, 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 at low water are 8 feet from Portland to Oregon City, and 31/2 feet from Oregon City to Corvallis. In Yamhill River, the controlling depth is 4 feet from the mouth to Yamhill lock and 2 feet from the lock to McMinn- ville. Traffic is confined to towboats, log rafts, launches, and dredges. Between Oregon City and Pulp Siding (about 3 miles) and between Oregon City and Portland, barges are used in the transportation of paper and wood-pulp products. The Yamhill lock and grounds are in fair condition, the lock gates were replaced during the fiscal year 1951. Repairs to the dam, which is in poor condition, are about 40 percent complete. The lock is used only for the passage of logs downstream, and the grounds to a con- siderable extent for recreational purposes. The lock was closed for 121 days during fiscal year due to high water and 10 days for instal- lation of new gates. Total costs under the existing project, from Federal funds, have been $6,411,861.19 of which $615,169.74 was for new work, $5,675,157.62 for maintenance and $121,533.83 for operation and care. Expendi- tures have been $6,391,021.98. In addition, the sum of $106,433.23 was expended between September 24, 1900 and June 30, 1935 on opera- tion and care of works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriations for such purposes. An additional sum of $7,500 was expended from contributed funds for maintenance and $484,900 from emergency flood control funds for new work. Proposed operations. The funds unexpended June 30, 1950 includ- ing accounts receivable, amounting to $27,530.72, plus allotments of $273,217.08, a total of $300,747.80 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable ---------- ------------------------------- $20,906.58 Maintenance: Dredging in Willamette River between Oregon City, Corvallis and in Yamhill River between the mouth and Yamhill Lock by Government plant, July-October 1950 and April-June 1951 ___ 235,171.48 Channel stabilization in Williamette River between Newberg and Corvallis -------------------------------------------- 5,000.00 Snagging in Willamette and Yamhill Rivers, by, Government plant, July-October 1950 ------------------- _ ------------- 5,000.00 Hydrographic surveys ----------------------- 25,000.00 Total maintenance ----------------------------------- 270,171.48 Operation and care of Yamhill Lock: Operation ____---_-__ __ $8,934.00 Ordinary maintenance and repair---------------------------- 735.74 Total operation and care -------------------------------- 9,669.74 Total all work -------------------------------------- 300,747.80 The sum of $448,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1953 as follows: Maintenance consisting of dredging in Willamette River between Oregon City and Corvallis, and in Yamhill Rivers between the mouth and Yamhill Lock, snagging in Willamette and Yamhill Rivers, RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, ORE., DISTRICT 2209 repair of dikes, channel stabilization and hydrographic surveys, $425,000.

WILLAMETTE RIVER AT WILLAMETTE FALLS, OREG. Location. The locks and the dam covered by this project are lo- cated at Willamette Falls, a rocky reef in the Willamette River at Oregon City, Oreg., about 26 miles above the mouth of the river. Existing project. This provides for the construction of a new single-lift main lock and a guard lock each with clear dimensions of 56 feet by 400 feet and minimum depth over the sills of 91/2 feet, to replace the authorized existing facilities which were provided for by the purchase, rehabilitation, and deepening to 6 feet at low water of the existing canal and locks and the separation of the canal from the water-power intake by construction of a concrete division wall. The total length of the existing canal and locks is about 3,500 feet.

This project embraces 1031/2 miles of Columbia River below Vancouver, Wash., and 14 miles of Willamette River below Portland, Oreg. For description of Columbia River see page 2224, and of Willamette River, page 2246. 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. The existing project also provides for maintenance at not to exceed a depth of 35 feet at low water, over such areas in the Port- land harbor and Willamette River between its mouth and Broadway Bridge as have been or may be dredged to project depth by the port of Portland; no dredging, however, shall be done by the United States within 50 feet of the pierhead line. In addition, the existing project also provides for the following: A channel 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the Columbia River from the mouth of the Willam- ette River to the interstate highway bridge at Vancouver, Wash., about 5 miles, with two turning basins of same depth at Vancouver, 800 feet. wide and approximately 2,000 and 3,000 feet long for the upper and lower basins, respectively, auxiliary channels 10 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the vicinity of Cathlamet, Wash., 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in St. Helens (Oreg.) Channel, and 30 feet deep and 500 feet wide connecting the upper end of the St. Helens Channel with the main ship channel of the Columbia, 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide along the frontage of the town of Rainier, Oreg., extended at its upper and lower ends to deep water in the Columbia River, 8 feet deep and 150 feet wide from this depth in Columbia River through the old mouth of Cowlitz River to a point approximately 3,000 feet upstream from the present terminus of the harbor line; a channel from the Longview port dock downstream along the pierhead line and past the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co.'s plant at Longview, to a connection with the main ship channel below Mount Coffin the downstream 2,400 feet of this channel to be 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide and the remainder to be 28 feet deep and 250 feet wide; construction of a small-boat mooring basin at Astoria, Oreg., to in- clude 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 plane of reference in the estuary from the mouth to Harring- ton Point is mean lower low water; thence, to Portland and Van- couver, low water. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, ORE., DISTRICT 2213 The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth of the Columbia is about 8 feet, and at Portland and Vancouver about 21/2 feet at low stages of the rivers. Extreme tidal ranges are about 13 and 3 feet, respectively. Annual freshets have but little effect on depths at the mouth of the Columbia; at Portland and Vancouver they average about 20 feet, while the highest known reached a stage of 33 feet above low water, at Portland. The actual cost for new work, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects and contributed funds, is $5,384,677.00. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,459,000.

COWLITZ RIVER, WASH. Location. This river rises in the Cascade Range in Washington, flows westerly and southerly about 120 miles, and empties in the Columbia River about 69 miles from the mouth. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6153.) Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details see page 2000 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1763 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 4 feet deep at low water and 50 feet wide from the mouth to Ostrander (9 miles), thence 21/2 feet deep and 50 feet wide to Castle Rock (10 miles), and thence 21/2 feet deep at low water and not less than 40 feet wide to RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, ORE., DISTRICT 2217 Toledo (18 miles), to be secured by snagging, dredging, and regulat- ing works. The water level, due to tides, varies from 4 feet at the mouth to zero at Ostrander. During ordinary freshets a stage of 20 feet, and at extreme floods a stage of 25 feet, is reached in the river at Kelso, Wash. The actual cost for new work, was $32,908, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1948) ap- proved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $20,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910 (H. Doc. 1167, 60th Cong., 2d sess., from the mouth to Castle Rock and H. Doc. 404, 61st Cong., 2d sess., from Castle Rock to Toledo). For the latest published map see House Document 1167, Sixtieth Congress, second session. Recommended modifications of project. The Chief of Engineers has recommended that the project be modified by the elimination of all work above Castle Rock (H. Doc. 467, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). Terminal facilities. Above Kelso the terminal facilities are limited to two log dumps. At Kelso there are a number of small private wharves and one public landing. Between Kelso and the mouth there are two private commercial wharves. These facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance dredging by Government plant removed a total of 78,730 cubic yards of material restoring project of 4 feet between the mouth and river mile 9. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $25;789.25 for maintenance. Conditionat end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1913. The channel is maintained to the project depth of 4 feet between the mouth and mile 9. Above mile 9 the channel is in poor condition with a controlling depth at low water of 2 feet. Total costs and expenditures for the existing prioject have been $357,083.50 of which $32,907.62 was for new work and $324,175.88 for maintenance. Proposed operations. No work is scheduled for the fiscal year 1952. The sum of $30,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1953 for maintenance, consisting of dredging the channel from the mouth to mile 9 and for hydrographic surveys.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT THE MOUTH, OREG. AND WASH. Location. This river rises in British Columbia, through which it flows for 425 miles. It enters the United States in northeastern Washington, flows southerly to the mouth of Snake River, thence westerly between Oregon and Washington, and empties into the Pacific Ocean 645 miles north of San Francisco Bay and 160 miles south of the Straits of Juan de Fuca. The total length of the river RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, ORE., DISTRICT 2225 is 1,210 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5902, 6151, 6152, 6153, 6154, 6155, and 6156; also Geological Survey map of Washington.) Previous 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 of 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel across the bar 40 feet deep at mean lower low water and of suitable width (not less than one-half mile, to be secured by dredging and by converging rubble-mound jetties, the south jetty being about 7 miles and the north jetty about 21/i miles long, terminating 2 miles north of the end of the south jetty. Mean lower low water is the plane of refer- ence. The tidal range on the bar between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme tidal range is about 13 feet. The actual cost for new work was $11,357,506, exclu- sive 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 construc- tion of the north jetty was approved July 29, 1910, and a modifica- tion of its alignment December 27, 1913. The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1921 opposite page 1868. Local cooperation. The existing project contains no conditions re- quiring local cooperation. However, during 1914 the port of Portland contributed $475,000 and the port of Astoria $25,000 to this improve- ment. These amounts have been expended, the greater part having been applied to the purchase of stone for the north jetty. Terminal facilities. For terminal and transfer facilities see report on Columbia and Lower Willamette Rivers. Operationsand results during fiscal year. Preliminary engineering in connection with the repair of jetty A and repair of dike No. 110.6 was continued during the fiscal year at a cost of $1,131. A contract for placing revetment and construction of a stone dike at the westerly end of the upstream portion of Sand Island was awarded June 23, 1950. Work on this contract started August 11 and was completed January 5, 1951, at a cost of $210,032.70. Maintenance of warehouses, fences, and structures at Fort Stevens was continued at a cost of $5,825.00. Dredging of the bar and entrance channel by a United States Government hopper dredge provided project depth. A total of 1,000,317 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $83,352.00. Hydrographic surveys cost $9,900 and real estate audit $476. Total costs for the fiscal year were $310,716.70 for maintenance. Expenditures were $280,609.10. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1918. The jetties are in good condition except that a 250-foot sec- tion of jetty A near the outer end has been beaten down to near low- water level and should be repaired. Storms have broken through the narrow portion of Sand Island about 2 miles from the east end which 2226 REPORT OF CHIEF. OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, - 951 continue.to cause shoaling at Clatsop Spit and Baker Bay channels. A survey made in June 1951, showed a controlling depth in the:en- trance channel of 42 feet at mean lower low water except at Clatsop Spit where the controlling depth for the left quarter of the channel was 39 feet. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $22,564,048.03 of which $11,357,506.35 was for new work and $11,206,- 541.68 for,maintenance.

The River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1925, provides that no work is to be done in the Hobsonville channel until assuranice is given that a ..mill of substantial capacity will be erected in the vicinity 'ofHobsonville. This conditionri has not been comrplied with. All other prescribed conditions of local cooperation have been fully complied with except "fot requirements for Garibaldi channel Terminal facilitAie. At Garibaldi there is a privately ownied' wharf equipped with a crane, and a publiclyowned float landing suitable for small fishing craft. At the lumber mill there are facilities for loading logs on barges for shipment. The existing facilities are con- sidered adequate for present commerce. ' 2228 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Operations and results during fiscal year. Hydrographic surveys of the bar and channel and a real estate audit were made. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $1,022.00 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 94 percent 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 dredging the Hobsonville channel and turning basin, which work will not be done until navi- gation requires deeper water, and dredging a small-boat basin and connecting channel at Garibaldi. The controlling depth on the bar and in the channel to Miami Cove is 15 feet at lower low water. Total costs and expenditures for the existing project have been $1,525,396.32, of which $574,446.78 was for new work and $950,949.54 for maintenance.

DEPOE BAY, OREG. Location. This harbor is located on the Oregon coast, 100 miles south of the mouth of Columbia River. (See U. S. Coast and Geo- detic Survey Chart No. 5902.) Existing project. This provides for a breakwater north of the entrance, for an entrance channel 8 feet deep and 30 feet wide, and for an inner basin, 750 feet long by an average of 390 feet wide, 8 feet deep, with retaining wall along the easterly side. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The mean of the higher high water and the extreme rise at the entrance above the plane of reference are 7.8 feet and about 11.5 feet respectively. The cost for new work, revised in 1951 is $400,000. The latest (1948) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $15,000. The River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. 202, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), authorized construction of an inner basin 375 feet long, 125 feet wide, and 5 feet deep, with entrance channel of same depth and 30 feet in width. RIVERS AND IIARBORS-PORTLAND, ORE., DISTRICT 2229 The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 350, 77th Cong., 1st sess.) modified the project to provide for the existing project as described. The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation. Provisions of River and Harbor Act approved August 26, 1937, have been fully complied with except for the con- struction of a public terminal. Under the provisions of the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, local interests are required to furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the improve- ments and their subsequent maintenance, when and as required, hold and save the United States free from claims for damage resulting from the improvements, and save and hold free for use of the public as a roadway, promenade, or landing, a strip at least 60 feet wide along the easterly side of the retaining wall for its full length. Terminal facilities. Terminal facilities consist of three permanent landings and several floats, just inside the entrance and east of the highway bridge, privately owned and used by operators of excursion and fishing boats. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Excavation of the entrance channel and enlarging and deepening the basin to a depth of 8 feet, the construction of a retaining wall along the easterly side and a breakwater north of the entrance were started by contract April 17, 1950, and completed in April 1951. A small amount of drainage work was accomplished by hired labor. The earth and rock cofferdam at the entrance was removed and the project opened to navigation April 14, 1951. A small amount of loose rock from the cofferdam material remains to be removed from the entrance to com- plete the project. Total costs for the fiscal year were $261,065.55, not including $5,122.26 deferred charges, all for new work. Expenditures were $280,531.67. Condition at end of fiscal year. Dredging of the basin and entrance channel to a depth of 5 feet as originally authorized was completed in 1939. Enlarging and deepening the basin and entrance channel and construction of a retaining wall and breakwater at the entrance author- ized by the River and Harbor Act of 1945 was essentially completed and open to navigation on April 14, 1951, except for minor cleanup of the entrance channel. Construction of this project was made the subject of an article pub- lished in "Excavating Engineer" magazine for August 1951. Total costs have been $430,135.12 not including $5,122.26 deferred charges for new work, of which $340,294.16 was for new. work and $89,840.96 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $418,974.54.

The act of July 24, 1946, provides that local inter- ests furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas required for the construction of the project; furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army 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, and some mooring facilities have been constructed within the basin. Terminal facilities. At McLean Point on the north side of the bay about two miles from the entrance, the Yaquina Bay Dock & Dredging Co. dock has a frontage of 630 feet with facilities for storage and load- ing lumber, open to all on equal terms. On the south side of the bay about a mile and a half above the entrance, the C. D. Johnson Lumber Co. maintains private dolphins with a frontage of 700 feet for loading from barges. The port of Newport has a public wharf with 400 feet of frontage for handling fishing boats. In addition the port of New- port maintains about 500 feet of float landings for use of small sea- going fishing vessels. 2232 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Removal of pinnacles from the channel between the jetties was continued as storm and sea conditions permitted. The channel was cleared of these ob- structions except for a small area which will be cleared up during August 1951. Maintenance: Dredging entrance bar and channel restored project depths. A total of 44,900 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $31,592.75. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $2,440. A real estate audit was made at a cost of $105.00. Total costs for the fiscal year were $74,601.78, of which $40,464.03 Ps for new work and $34,137.75 for maintenance. Expenditures were $70,216.41. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 96 percent complete. Restoration of the jetties was completed in 1934 and the ex- tension to the north jetty in 1940. Both jetties are in fair condition. The main channel from the outer ends of the jetties to McLean Point, 20 feet deep and 300 feet wide with turning basins at the upstream end, and the channel 18 feet deep and 200 feet wide from the 20-foot channel at mile 1 along the city dock at Newport, thence upstream to the aban- doned railroad teminus at Yaquina and the small boat mooring basin at Newport were completed during the fiscal year 1949, except for a small area between the jetties where a small amount of work is required to remove the remaining pinnacles. This work will complete the exist- ing project. The controlling depth on the bar is 27 feet for a width of 300 feet and 20 feet between the jetties. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $3,176,668.01, of which $2,174,476.12 was for new work and $1,002,- 191.89 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $3,177,563.52. In addition $729,168.48 was expended for new work from contributed funds. Proposed operations.

This river rises in the Cascade Range, flows westerly about 120 miles, and empties into the Pacific Ocean 180 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River and 465 miles north of San Fran- cisco Bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 6004.) Previous projects. Adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified in 1886. For further details see page 2967 of Annual Report for 1898, and page 1732 of Annual Report 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 mooring 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 1951 is $2,705,800, 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 maintenance, 2234 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Recommended modification of the project: Senate Document 133, Eighty-first Congress, second session, recommends that the existing project for Umpqua River, Oreg., be modified to provide for a channel in Schofield River, 12 feet deep at mean lower low water, generally 100 feet wide from its confluence with Umpqua River to a point 0.5 mile below the first railroad bridge, a distance of 2 miles, the entrance to be widened to 300 feet in a distance of 500 feet, at an estimated cost to the United States of $41,000 for new work and $7,000 annually for maintenance in addition to that now required; provided that local interests contribute in cash $10,000 toward the cost of the new work; agree to furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable spoil-dis- posal areas for initial work and subsequent maintenance when and as required; and hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and maintenance of the project. 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 Acts approved March 2, 1945, State or other local interest are required, for the Winchester Bay channel, to furnish free of cost to the United States suitable areas for spoil disposal for initial work and subsequent maintenance, when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvements; construct, main- tain, 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 accom- plished. For the Gardiner channel local interests are to furnish assur- ances 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, ORE., DISTRICT 2235 rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent maintenance, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvement. Assur- ances 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 shipping. At Winchester Bay, there is a public landing float with a wooden pile-and-timber shore approach, and a privately owned wharf used exclusively for the receipt of fish and marine products. The existing terminals are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: No new work was accomplished during the fiscal year. Deferred costs in connection with dredging of Gardiner channel were $14,605.09. Maintenance: Construction of a training jetty on the south side of the entrance 5,550 feet long and generally parallel to the entrance initiated January 23, 1950, was completed February 28, 1951. A total of 323,903 tons of stone was used in this jetty. Recent condition sur- veys indicate that the jetty is functioning satisfactorily. Total costs for the jetty, including preliminary work, for the fiscal year were $1,044,416.85. Condition surveys were made at a cost of $6,466.00. Dredging on the bar channel by the Government dredge Pacific restored project depths. A total of 198,920 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $56,719. Repairs to dike 5-8 in Umpqua River were made at a cost of $827 and real estate audits were made at a cost of $58. Total costs for the fiscal year were $1,123,091.94 of which $14,605.09 was for new work and $1,108,486.85 for maintenance. Expenditures were $1,107,652.06. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 97 percent complete. The north jetty was completed in 1940. The extension to the original south jetty was completed in 1938 and construction of a new training jetty on the south side of the entrance and parallel thereto was completed February 28, 1951. Dredging of a 22-foot chan- nel from the mouth of the river to Reedsport was completed in 1941. The controlling depth at the close of the fiscal year was 20 feet on the bar, and 20 feet from the mouth to Reedsport and in Gardiner channel and turning basin. No work has been done on the Winchester Bay channel and mooring basin. Total costs under the existing project from Federal funds have been $5,962,866.16 of which $2,605,811.15 was for new work and $3,357,- 055.01 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $5,965,107.24. In addition $276,500 was expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.

COOS BAY, OREG. Location. On the Oregon coast 200 miles south of the mouth of Columbia River and 445 miles north of San Francisco Bay. It is about 13 miles long and 1 mile wide, with an area at high tide of about 15 square miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5802 and 5984.) Previous projects. Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1879, September 19, 1890, and August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1987 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1728 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for two rubble-mound, high-tide jetties at the entrance; a channel across the outer bar 40 feet deep at mean lower low water, and of suitable width with dimensions reduced gradually to Guano Rock; a channel 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and generally 300 feet wide thence to the mouth of Isthmus slough; turning basins of the same depth and 1,000 feet long and 600 feet wide opposite Coalbank slough and at the city of North Bend; anchorage basins 600 feet wide by 2,000 feet long at mile 3.5 and near mile 7; a channel 22 feet deep and 150 feet wide from Smiths Mill (mouth of Isthmus slough) to Millington, a mooring basin, about 500 feet by 900 feet, for small boats at Charleston, with a connecting RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, ORE., DISTRICT 2237 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 1951 is $8,188,000 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 jetties_--------------------------------Annual Report, 1890, p. 2936.

The River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946, provided that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secre- tary of War that they will: (a) Furnish free of cost to the United States necessary spoil-disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance as and when required; and (b) construct and maintain any additional terminal facilities necessary to the full use of the port, such facilities to be open to all on equal terms. Assurances of local cooperation were approved by the Secretary of the Army on Novem- ber 4, 1947. 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 subsequent main- tenance; (b) agree to construct, maintain, and operate adequate moor- ing 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 damages which might result from execution of this improvement; (e) contribute $40,800 to defray one-half of the estimated cost of constructing the bulkhead; and 2238 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 (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 have not been requested. Terminal facilities. At North Bend there is a municipal wharf 389 feet long fronting on the channel and about 1,400 feet of privately owned mill wharves. At Coos Bay there is a privately owned wharf with a frontage of 860 feet, open to the public on equal terms; several small landings for fishing boats and harbor craft; three oil receiving docks in the vicinity; and two sawmill wharves, about 1 mile above Coos Bay at Bunker Hill, for shipment of lumber. A privately owned lumber wharf with a frontage of 410 feet is located at Empire, and another lumber wharf with a frontage of 500 feet is located 11/2 miles below Empire. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. At Charleston there are two wharves, one public and one private, with usable areas of 1,200 square feet and 2,400 square feet, respec- tively, 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. A privately owned floating moorage located on Joe Ney slough has facilities for mooring 50 fishing vessels. During the stormy season, vessels from Charleston seek shelter at these moorings, which are entirely inadequate during these periods. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Dredging of the channel from the entrance to Isthmus slough to a depth of 30 feet and generally 300 feet wide was completed by contract on January 15, 1951. Dredging on the bar to a depth of 40 feet decreasing to 30 feet at Guano Rock in the entrance was continued with the hopper dredge Biddle. Project depths were obtained but not for the full width required. Maintenance: Dredging in the inner bay channel to a depth of 24 feet was accomplished by contract dredge. Condition surveys and a real estate audit were made. Total costs for the fiscal year were $739,756.22 of which $681,186.12 was for new work and $58,570.10 for maintenance. Expenditures were $937,919.07. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 90 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 24-foot channel in 1937. Excavation of the channel to a depth of 30 feet and generally 300 feet wide from the entrance to Isthmus slough was completed January 15, 1951. Dredging a channel on the outer bar to a depth of 40 feet decreasing to 30 feet at Guano Rock was com- pleted but not for suitable width required. No work has been done on construction of the Charleston Channel and small-boat basin. Total costs from Federal funds under the existing project have been $13,759,341.96 of which $7,574,641.15 was for new work and $6,184,700.81 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $13,782,283.69. In addition $2,713.14 was expended for new work and $8,386.86 for maintenance from contributed funds. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2239 Proposed operations.

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 2240 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 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 actual cost for new work 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.

WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT Location. The Willamette River is formed by the Coast and Middle Forks which join a few miles above Eugene, Oreg., flows north 189 miles and enters the Columbia River 101.5 miles above its mouth. The basin has an area of 11,200 square miles, and lies between the Cascade Range on the east and the Coast Range on the west. The major tributaries of the Willamette River rise in the Cascade Moun- tains and consist of the Coast and Middle Forks and the McKenzie, Calapooya, Santiam, Molalla, and Clackamas Rivers. The important tributaries that head in the Coast Range are the Luckiamute, Yamhill, and Tualatin Rivers. Minor tributaries, all of which enter the main stream from the west, are Marys River, Rickreall Creek, and Long Tom River. Existing project. The Flood-Control Act of June 28, 1938, approved the general comprehensive plan for flood control, navigation; and other purposes in the Willamette River Basin as set forth in House Document 544, Seventy-fifth Congress, third session, and authorized $11,300,000 for the initiation and partial accomplishment of the plan recommended for initial development; the reservoirs and related works to be selected and approved by the Chief of Engineers. Subsequent flood-control acts increased the monetary authority as follows: Act of August 18, 1941, $11,000,000; act of December 22, 1944, $20,000,000; act of July 24, 1946, $35,000,000 and act of May 17, 1950, $40,000,000, a total authorization of $117,300,000. In addition, the act of May 17, 1950 contained an authorization of $75,000,000 for the Columbia River Basin, including the Willamette River Basin.

No costs were incurred or expenditures made other than those shown under the individual reports. Condition at end of fiscal year. Cottage Grove Reservoir has been completed except for construction of operators permanent quarters. Fern Ridge Reservoir is complete except for completion of contract now under way for revetment on Long Tom River channel. Dorena Reservoir is complete except for the improvement of Row River chan- nel below the dam and construction of two operators permanent quar- ters. Detroit Reservoir including Big Cliff Reregulating Dam is under construction and scheduled for completion in July and Decem- ber 1953 respectively. Lookout Point Reservoir is under construction and is scheduled for completion in December 1954. Construction of Dexter Reregulating Dam a part of the Lookout Point Reservoir project has not been started. Details of progress and the financial status of the above projects are given in individual reports for those projects. Cottage Grove, Fern Ridge and Dorena Reservoirs are in continu- ous operation. At the present time water releases from these reservoirs as an aid to navigation are made when navigation interests indicate the need for increasing low water flows. Maximum available storage 2248 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 in these three existing reservoirs is 190,000 acre-feet which is not adequate to maintain proposed navigation flows continuously during critical low water flow conditions on lower Willamette River. There- fore, the procedure of releasing water to meet specific navigation re- quirements utilizes the storage to the greatest advantage. This prac- tice has proven satisfactory, both from the standpoint of navigation as well as recreation. On completion of Detroit and Lookout Point Reservoirs and prior to extensive irrigation development in the Willamette Valley, there will be approximately 700,000 acre-feet of additional storage avail- able for multiple-purpose use. Prior to September 1, navigation releases will be made only on request by navigation interests. Recre- ation at existing reservoirs is dependent upon maintaining a pool as high as possible, until 1 September, which will be the policy followed. After September 1 there should be adequate water available to main- tain scheduled navigation flows at Albany and Salem. Storage releases made for navigation will simultaneously benefit pollution abatement, a problem which is being given considerable attention in the development of the water resources of the Willamette River Basin.

HILLS CREEK DAM, WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location. On the Middle Fork Willamette River, 47.8 miles from the mouth and 26.5 miles upstream from the Lookout Point Dam. The Middle Fork Willamette River rises on the west slope of the Cascade Range and flows northwesterly to its junction with the Coast Fork Willamette River 4 miles southeast of Eugene, Oreg., to form the main Willamette River. The location of the dam is about 45 miles southeast from Eugene, Oreg. The drainage area above the dam site is 389 square miles. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of an earth and gravel-fill dam about 1,960 feet long at the crest and 304 feet high above the stream bed. An ungated spillway of the straight chute type will be located in. the right abutment. The dam will form a reservoir 6.8 miles long with a usable storage capacity of 221,000 acre-feet at normal pool level. A diversion and outlet tunnel will be located in the right abutment. Power facilities consist- ing of a power tunnel, surge tank, penstock, and power plant will be located at the left abutment. The power installation will consist of one 20,000-kilowatt unit. The Hills Creek project is an integral unit of the comprehensive plan for development of the water resources of the Willamette River Basin. The Hills Creek and Lookout Point Reservoirs will be operated as a unit for control of floods and generation of power on the Middle Fork Willamette River. These reservoirs, in conjunction with the Dexter reregulating dam and the Fall Creek flood control reservoir, will effectively control floods on the Middle Fork and provide maximum efficient generation of hydroelectric power. The Hills Creek project was authorized by Public Law 516, 81st Congress, 2d session, approved May 17, 1950. The estimated cost revised in 1951, including power facilities, is $26,434,000 for construc- tion and $753,000 for lands and damages, a total of $27,187,000. Local cooperation.

LOOKOUT POINT RESERVOIR (MERIDIAN SITE), WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location. On the Middle Fork Willamette River at Meridian site, 21.3 miles from the mouth. The Middle Fork Willamette River rises in Lane County on the western slope of the Cascade Range and flows northwesterly to its junction with the Coast Fork, which is the head of the main stem Willamette River. The dam site is approximately 22 miles from Eugene, Oreg. The drainage area tributary to the reservoir is 991 square miles. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a main dam at the Meridian site and a reregulating dam 3 miles downstream at the Dexter site. Both dams will be earth and gravel fills with concrete gravity spillways and power generating facilities. The main dam will have a height of 250 feet above the stream bed and will be 3,175 feet long at the crest, forming a reservoir 14.2 miles long and providing total storage of 456,000 acre-feet at normal pool level. The spillway, 274 feet long, will be a gate-controlled overflow type, forming the right abutment. Outlet works, consisting of slide gate controlled conduits, will pass through the spillway sec- tion. The powerhouse will have three main generating units totalling 114,000 kilowatts capacity and one station service unit of 1,000 kilo- watt capacity to provide energy for emergency control and lighting. The reregulating dam will have a maximum height of 80 feet above the foundation and will be 2,835 feet long at the crest, forming a pool extending upstream to the main dam and providing pondage to reregulate Lookout Point power releases to a uniform discharge. The spillway will be a gate-controlled overflow section 476 feet long form- ing the right abutment. Flow regulation will be accomplished by use of the spillway gates plus releases through the powerhouse, which will contain one 15,000 kilowatt unit. Lookout Point and Dexter reservoirs will be operated as a single unit of a coordinated system of dams to protect Willamette River Valley against floods, to provide needed hydroelectric power, and to increase low-water flows for navigation, irrigation, and other purposes. The existing project, authorized as a unit of the comprehensive plan for flood control and other purposes in the Willamette River Basin, was authorized by the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, House Document 544, Seventy-fifth Congress, third session. The Flood Control Acts of December 22, 1944, and July 24, 1946, modified the project to provide for recreational facilities and the Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950, House Document 531, Eighty-first Congress, second session, modified the project to provide for power generating facilities. The estimated cost of the work, revised in 1951 including the Dexter Reregulating Dam is $32,110,000 for lands and damages including relocations and $64,501,000 for construction, a total of $96,611,000. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. 2252 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Operations and results during fiscal year. Relocations: Relocation of the Southern Pacific main line railroad and State Highway No. 58 around the reservoir was continued during the fiscal year as weather conditions permitted. Grading and construction of bridges and drain- age structures under several separate contracts progressed to 85 per- cent completion. Track laying and surfacing for the lower 8 miles was 82 percent completed and a contract was awarded for the remain- ing distance. Contracts were awarded for construction of railroad signal system and relocation of telegraph and telephone lines. Pre- liminary work was completed for the relocation of county road No. 360. Fish facilities: Construction of the salmon hatchery at Oakridge including rearing ponds, water supply system and roads was 91 per- cent complete. Construction of hatchery buildings and residences was 30 percent complete. Dam and spillway: Construction of the earth-dam and concrete gravity spillway initiated July 10, 1950 progressed"under a continu- ing contract to 18 percent completion. Installation of the high line was completed and the first bucket of concrete by high line was placed in the dam on May 28, 1951. A total of 104,273 cubic yards of con- crete was placed. Work was concentrated on completion of the still- ing basin and the main dam blocks essential to river diversion in order that diversion may be effected as early as possible. ' Reservoir clearing operations were continued. A contract was awarded for the design of the Lookout Point power house and equip- ment. Total costs for the fiscal year were $16,347,322.28. Expenditures were $16,021,582.27. Condition at end of fiscal year. The Lookout Point Reservoir proj- ect is 31 percent complete. Lookout Point Dam and appurtenant work is 35 percent complete. No work has been done on the Dexter Reregu- lating Dam. Relocation of the Southern Pacific Railroad and State Highway No. 58 including track laying, signals and telephone and telegraph lines, and appurtenant facilities is 70 percent complete. This work is scheduled for completion by the end of the fiscal year 1952. The relocated railroad and highway traverses fairly rugged north- ward-sloping terrain composed of deeply dissected terrace flats and bluff along the forward edge of the terrace. The soils overlaying this terrain which vary considerably in type contain a high natural mois- ture content and are highly conducive to slides. Numerous natural slides were encountered and additional slides developed due to the high moisture content of the heavy clays excavated. The long rainy winter seasons in this area prevents the working of soils except during three or four months during the summer. Materials from excavation in many cases were found unsuitable for embankment necessitating the use of borrow areas. The quality and quantity of rock from excavation was found to be unsuitable and insufficient for the requirements for theerock shell placed on the reservoir side of the railroad and the use of quarry rock was found necessary. The prog- ress and cost of the railroad and highway relocation have been very materially affected by the foregoing conditions. Dam construction: A total of 104,273 cubic yards of concrete has been placed in the retaining walls, stilling basin, and dam. Rate of FLOOD CONTROL-PORTLAND, ORE., DISTRICT 2253 placement has been slow due to high-line failure and other initial operational difficulties which have been corrected. Fish facilities: Construction of salmon hatchery facilities at Oak- ridge are 91 percent complete and construction of hatchery buildings and residences 30 percent complete. Power facilities: Design of the Lookout Point powerhouse and generating equipment is under way under an architect engineer con- tract. Dexter reregulating dam: No work has been done on the Dexter reregulating dam. Total costs have been $29,786,340.10. Expenditures have been $29,047,453.73. Proposed operations. The funds unexpended June 30, 1951, includ- ing accounts receivable amounting to $6,563,269 plus a net allotment of $14,405,000 during fiscal year 1952, a total of $20,968,269 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable ____________________________ $3,521,123.71 Credit for material on hand, reimbursements by State of Oregon for highway betterments and advances to contractors _-___-_- __ 1,799,589.71 Dexter reregulating dam: Engineering and design ___ $118,817.00 Manufacture and deliver one turbine and governor, by contract to be awarded in March 1952 __________ 10,000.00 Manufacture, deliver and install 1 generator by con- tract to be awarded in March 1952 ---------------- 10,000.00 Lands and damages including the acquisition of 1390 acres of land ------------------------------ 500,000.00 Total for Dexter reregulating dam ______________________ 638,817.00 Lookout Point Reservoir: Engineering and design ____-_- 693,470.00 Relocations: Completion of relocation of railroad, highway, telephone and telegraph lines, and power lines under 19 separate contracts 9,690,673.00 Construct permanent works for correction of slides on relo- cated railroad and highway by contract to be awarded in January 1952 and completed in June 1953_ ____-______ 250,000.00 Existing contract with Southern Pacific Co. for their increased costs in inspection, engineering, legal, temporary track con- nections and for increased .maintenance costs 105,100.00 Construction of 10 miles of County Road No. 360 by contract awarded in August 1951 to be completed in October 1953 _-__ 392,000.00 Construct remaining 4.3 miles of County Road No. 360 by con- tract to be awarded in April 1952 and completed in October 1953 54,500.00 Relocation of Forest Service Ranger Station by contract to be awarded and completed during fiscal year 1952 _________- 225,000.00 Relocation of existing cemetery by contract to be awarded in May and completed in August 1952 ___-___________-_______ 28,500.00 Surface all detour roads, place guard fence on detour roads and Highway No. 58, construct drainage and bank protection station 855 to 894 on railroad relocation, place railroad signs and construct stone embankment along right bank of Willa- mette River relocation Station 2114 to 2116 by 5 separate contracts--------------------------------------- 152,668.00 Construct intercepting surface drains, and horizontal drain in slide areas and establish survey points and observation of slides by hired labor _______ _________-____.___._ _ 113,655.00 Total relocations _______________ 11,012,096.00 2254 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 construc- tion of an earth-fill dam 1,650 feet long at the crest, rising 95 feet above the stream bed, with a reservoir providing for usable storage of 30,000 acre-feet. The spillway, 264 feet long, is a concrete, gravity, 2256 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 overflow type forming the right abutment. Outlet works, consisting 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 increase low water flows for navigation. The existing project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Willamette River Basin con- tained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The Flood Control Acts of December 22, 1944, and July 24, 1946, modified the project to provide for recreational facilities. 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. The latest approved (1951) estimate of the annual cost of operation and maintenance is $30,700. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Construction of facilities for public use was completed and preparation of plans and specifications for operators permanent quarters was initiated. Maintenance: The dam, reservoir and public use facilities were in continuous operation throughout the fiscal year. A total of 52,654 persons visited the reservoir for recreational purposes during the fiscal year. Normal reservoir regulation was continued during the fiscal year except for a slight deviation early in November when minimum con- servation pool was drawn down to elevation 740 feet, or 10.5 feet below minimum conservation pool, at the request of the Oregon Game Com- mission to give the Commission opportunity to engage in eradication of scrap fish. The larger floods of October 27-31, November 15-20, and January 17-19 were regulated well within the capacity of the reservoir. During the year maximum storage above minimum con- servation pool was 17,200 acre-feet or 57 percent of capacity on Oc- tober 30, 1950. Seventeen percent and 32 percent of the usable flood control storage were used during the floods of November 1950 and January 1951, respectively. Refer to Dorena Reservoir operation for combined flood regulation of Cottage Grove and Dorena Reservoirs on Coast Fork Willamette River below mouth of Row River.

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 construc- tion of an earth-fill dam 3,297 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, is a concrete gravity, overflow type, forming the right abutment. Outlet works consisting of five slide gate-controlled conduits 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, to increase low-water flows for navigation, and for other purposes. 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 Flood Control 2258 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, UT. S. AR1VY, 1951 Acts of December 22, 1944, and July 24, 1946, modified the project to provide for recreational facilities. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1951 is $13,740,000, ($11,152,000 for construction and $2,588,000 for lands and damages). The latest approved (1951) estimate of the annual cost of operation and maintenace is $40,300. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work : Restoration of the temporary camp area and general cleanup work were completed. Preliminary work including plans and specifications for improvement of the Row River channel below the Dorena Dam to provide increased capacity to carry flood waters released from the reservoir were com- pleted and bids for the work opened on June 29, 1951. Maintenance: The dam and reservoir were in continuous operation through the fiscal year. A total of 25,027 persons visited the reservoir for recreational purposes during the fiscal year. Reservoir functioned normally during the fiscal year. One major flood occurred in October that practically filled the reservoir. Reser- voir pool was within 0.15 foot of the spillway crest and 99.6 percent of the flood control storage space was utilized on October 30. During the October flood the maximum inflow to reservoir was 20,500 second- feet which was regulated to an outflow of 2,870 second-feet. Below Dorena, during this flood, the local inflow was of such magnitude that some flooding occurred between the dams and the mouth of Coast Fork Willamette River in spite of complete regulation of flood waters at Cottage Grove and Dorena Dams. Other high-water flows occurred on November 18, December 4,January 17, January 24, and February 5, which were all controlled to bankfull stage on the lower Coast Fork with the exception of the high water of January 17. A large local inflow below Dorena and Cottage Grove Dams again was the cause of minor flooding in January.

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 navi- gable portions of the Skagit, Stillaguamish, Nooksack, Snohomish, and Snoqualmie Rivers, Wash., free from snags, debris, and drift, by means of a shallow-draft stern-wheel snag boat constructed for this purpose. For further details, see page 2003 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1869 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for maintenance of Puget Sound and its tributary waters by snagging and dredging. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $165,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892 (Annual Report for 1893, p. 3425). The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1913, page 3127. Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. The terminal facilities at the numerous locali- ties on Puget Sound and its tributary waters are, in general, con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. The following mainte- nance dredging, exclusive of that done by the U. S. snag boat W. T. Preston, was accomplished: On the Skagit River above Mount Ver- non by the U. S. pipeline dredge Swinomish, 38,325 cubic yards at a cost of $24,546.92; by contract on the Snohomish River, 27,705 cubic yards at a cost of $28,899.93; by contract on the South Fork of the Skagit River, 79,603 cubic yards at a cost of $41,898.82. Surveys were made on the Skagit River, Skagit River South Fork, and Sno- homish River, at a cost of $3,847.42. The U. S. snag boat W. T. Preston was operated a total of 101/2 months at a cost of $81,954.19, accomplishing the following work: Obstructions Dredging removed Waterway (cubic yards) Miscellaneous Snags Piles Skagit River, North Fork, and 38, 788 744 41 Removed 308 trees from river. river above forks.

Condition at end of fiscal year. The work has consisted chiefly of snagging and dredging in the principal tributaries of Puget Sound. No permanent results are obtainable, but the maintenance of exist- ing channels requires practically continuous operation of the snag boat. The controlling depths range from 1 to 40 feet at mean lower low water. The total costs of the existing project to June 30, 1951, have been $43,336.92 for new work and $1,723,029.02 for maintenance, a total of $1,766,365.94. The total expenditures have been $1,768,879.97. Proposed operations. The funds unexpended June 30, 1951, $1,957.14, together with accounts receivable, $2,514.03, and an allot- ment of $50,000, a total of $54,471.17, will be applied to maintenance, operation of the U. S. snag boat W. T. Preston, 61/2 months on snag- ging, and removing obstructions in the Skagit, Snohomish, and Stillaguamish Rivers and other tributaries. The sum of $180,000 can be profitably expended for the fiscal year 1953, for maintenance including snagging, dredging, and removing obstructions in the Skagit, Snohomish, and Stillaguamish Rivers, and other tributaries.

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 low water for the outer 3,800 feet, and 18 feet deep for the inner 1,300 feet; (b) for 2288 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Squalicum Creek waterway, including dredging an entrance channel 200 feet wide and 26 feet deep from deep water in the bay to the main pierhead line, maintenance of the southerly half and westerly end of the Squalicumn Creek basin to a depth of 26 feet at mean lower low water, and maintenance of the breakwater constructed by the port of Bellingham in 1934, to a crest height of 14 feet, provided that no dredging be done within 75 feet of wharves, piers, or similar structures. The extreme tidal range is about 16 feet. The range be- tween mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.6 feet. The actual cost for new work was $112,013, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $5,000 (1950) for Whatcom Creek waterway, and $2,500 (1950) 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-------------- H.

Local cooperation. Fully complied with. In addition, the port of Bellingham, since November 1945, has improved the small-boat basin behind the Squalicum Creek breakwater constructed in 1934, by con- structing breakwaters, bulkheads, floats, and utilities, and by dredg- ing in the basin at a cost of $322,708. Further improvements, con- sisting of relocation and extension of the breakwater, are planned. Terminal facilities. There are 23 wharves and piers in Bellingham Harbor; 8 are located on Whatcom Creek waterway, 4 on Squalicum Creek waterway, and 11 on Bellingham Bay. Three wharves on Whatcom Creek waterway serve general cargo terminals. One of these, which is publicly owned and operated, is suitable for use by oceangoing vessels; the other two are privately owned and operated and serve vessels in the Puget Sound trade. The four wharves on Squalicum Creek waterway are publicly owned; one oil-handling wharf is publicly operated; the other three are privately operated. The latter 3 wharves and the other 15 are used for various industrial purposes. These terminal facilities are considered adequate for ex- isting commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Office costs in connection with a survey made in June 1950 were $130.71, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $122.56. Conditio at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1931. The dredging of Whatcom Creek waterway was completed in 1913. The dredging of the entrance channel in Squalicum Creek waterway was completed in 1931, and local interests have since dredged the southerly half and westerly end of Squalicum Creek basin, and in 1934 constructed a detached rubble breakwater 1,500 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2289 feet long south of the basin. This structure was raised and extended in 1945 (see "Local cooperation"). In June 1950, the inner 1,300 feet of Whatcom Creek waterway had a controlling depth of 13.3 feet except at the head of the water- way, and a depth of 25.9 feet over a width of 200 feet in the next 3,000 feet; the outer 800 feet were 26 feet deep over a 300-foot width in May 1949. In September 1947, the Squalicum Creek waterway entrance channel was 25.3 feet deep over a width of 200 feet, and the basin was 23.4 feet deep except near the edges. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1951, have been $112,013.16 for new work and $91,159.16 for maintenance, a total of $203,172.32. The expenditures have been $203,172.32. Proposed operations. No work is scheduled for the fiscal year 1952. The sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended for the fiscal year 1953 for maintenance dredging in Whatcom Creek waterway.

ANACORTES HARBOR, WASH. Location. Anacortes Harbor is on the northern point of Fidalgo Island in Puget Sound, 17 miles south of Bellingham, Wash., and 64 miles north of Seattle. The main harbor is on Guemes Channel. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6377.) Existing project. This provides for a channel in Cap Sante Water- way, 12 feet deep at mean lower low water and 150 to 250 feet wide, between the east side of Q Avenue and deep water in Fidalgo Bay, a distance of 2,850 feet. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.2 feet. The extreme range is about 15.5 feet. The actual cost for new work was $46,377, exclusive of $23,188 contributed funds. The estimate for annual maintenance, made in 1950, is $3,000.

EVERETT HARBOR, WASH. Location. On Port Gardner Bay, at the northern end of Possession Sound, an arm of Puget Sound, 30 miles north of Seattle and 45 miles south of Bellingham. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6448.) Preious projects. The original project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894, provided for a basin in front of the 2294 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 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 au- thority of joint resolution of Congress approved April 23, 1902, the work in Old River was discontinued. The project was further modi- fied by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905, to provide for survey of Everett Harbor with a view to the extension of the dike and of the dredged area. For further details, see page 704 of Annual Report for 1905, page 2005 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1883 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a training dike in the upper harbor extending from Smith Island to a point opposite Twenty- third Street, with a gap of suitable width at the outlet of Snohomish River channel and spur dikes to regulate the flow through the gap; for a channel shoreward of the training dike, between the outlet of the main river channel and deep water in the lower harbor, 100 feet wide and 8 feet deep at mean lower low water; for a settling basin with a capacity of about 200,000 cubic yards, 1,200 feet long, 700 feet wide, and 12 feet deep at mean lower low water, in the upper harbor in the vicinity of the Fourteenth Street dock; and for a channel throughout that portion of the lower harbor known as East water- way 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 actual cost for new work was $325,968, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1950) approved esti- mate 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 HI. Doc. 1108, 60th Cong., 2d sess. bar at the outlet of Old River Channel. July 3, 1930 Raising 6,000 feet of the training dike, extending spur H.

Doc. 546, 75th Cong., 3d sess. provided for the settling basin. (Contains latest published map.) Recommended modifications of project. Under date of March 8, 1950, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project to provide for realining and enlarging to a depth of 15 feet and widths of 150 to 425 feet that portion of the existing chan- nel extending from deep water in Port Gardner Bay to the settling basin opposite Fourteenth Street, deepening the existing settling basin to 20 feet, constructing a spur dike extending westward from Preston Point a distance of 1,410 feet, and removing the section of the existing training dike north of the gap; all at an estimated cost to the United States of $325,970, with $10,000 annually for mainte- nance in addition to that now required; subject to certain conditions of local cooperation (H. Doc. 569, 81st Cong., 2d sess.). RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2295 Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. There are 26 wharves and piers on Everett Harbor and Snohomish River--13 are located on Port Gardner Bay, 6 on the channel to the gap, and 7 on Snohomish River. Seven wharves are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels; all of these are located on Port Gardner Bay and East waterway channel and one serves a privately owned and operated general cargo terminal that is open for public use. The remaining wharves are used by barges and light-draft vessels and serve various industrial purposes. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. A condition survey was completed in October 1950. The costs were $1,828.07, all for mainte- nance. The expenditures were $1,825.45. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1940. Dike work was commenced in September 1911 and terminated in September 1912, and 6,000 feet of dike were raised in 1931 to an elevation of 14 feet above mean lower low water. 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 in October 1950 were 7.0 feet in the channel from the lower harbor to the settling basin; 9.3 feet in the settling basin, 6.4 feet for 4,300 feet and 0.6 foot, for the remainder of the distance in the channel from the settling basin to the gap in the dike; and 29.0 feet in East Waterway. The costs and expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1951, have been $325,968.16 for new work and $269,509.72 for main- tenance, a total of $595,477.88. Proposed operations. No work is scheduled for fiscal year 1952. The sum of $100,000 can be profitably expended for the fiscal year 1953 for maintenance dredging.

CHIEF JOSEPH 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 2296 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 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 Chief Joseph dam site en route. Swinging south, the river follows the eastern foothills of the Cascade Moun- tains for 209 miles to its confluence with Snake River. A few miles below the Snake, it turns sharply westward and flows for 324 miles, forming the Washington-Oregon boundary, to the Pacific Ocean. The works covered by this project are on the Columbia River just upstream from the mouth of Foster Creek, 11/2 miles upstream from the town of Bridgeport, Wash., and 51 miles downstream from Grand Coulee Dam. (U. S. Geological Survey topographic sheet "Okanogan, Wash.," shows the general locality.) Existing project. The project provides for a straight concrete gravity overflow dam on the Columbia River, 220 feet high, for a powerhouse, and an intake of sufficient capacity to utilize future up- stream storage. The powerhouse will have 16 units installed initially and a substructure for 4 additional units. The ultimate installed capacity will be dependent upon the rate and amount of future development of upstream storage. Present plans provide for future expansion to a maximum development of 27 units. All units are to be 64,000 kilowatts capacity. The dam site is 545 miles upstream from the mouth of the Columbia River. The latest (1951) estimated Federal cost of construction of the project is $206,000,000 (16 units). Annual operation and mainte- nance will range from $940,000 for the first 4 units to $1,733,000 for 16 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. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor operations were carried on as follows: Field foundation and aggregate inves- tigation laboratory and soils studies and model construction and testing were continued. Engineering and design were completed for main dam construction, sluice gates frames and guides, tainter gates and hoisting machinery, and mobile cranes. Engineering and design for powerhouse and intake structure and equipment supply contracts were in progress. Planning for the acquisition of reservoir lands was in progress. Work was completed on the following features by contract: Con- struction of Okanogan River bridge, grading and paving of the access highway, sewage treatment plant, utilities for housing and administration area, and intake channel. Work was under way on the following features by contract: Con- struction of Columbia River bridge was continued. Structural steel erection was completed and concrete deck was about 3 percent com- plete. Work on housing, administration, and maintenance facilities was continued. Forty permanent-type residences, one dormitory, ad- ministration building, and maintenance building were constructed. First-stage construction contract was continued. The cofferdam on the north bank was completed, and construction of north bank pro- RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2297 tection blanket was about 90 percent complete. Work was continued on supply contracts for procurement of ten 100,000-hp. turbines and four 64,000-kw. generators. A contract for construction of the main dam and powerhouse and intake structure excavation was awarded in November 1950. Excavation was started for the powerhouse and intake structure and within the cofferdam on the north bank. Con- struction of concrete aggregate and mixing plants was completed. Supply contracts were awarded for procurement of sluice gates, frames and guides, 19 tainter gates, tainter gate operating machinery, and two mobile cranes. Contracts for seeding and landscaping the housing and administration area were awarded. The costs were $12,550,089.83, all for new work. Expenditures were $11,821,613.07. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 7 per- cent complete. Engineering and design were about 52 percent com- plete. The Okanogan River bridge on the access highway, com- menced in September 1949, was completed in November 1950. The Columbia River bridge on the access highway, begun in December 1949, was 93 percent complete. The access highway, begun in Feb- ruary 1950, was completed in October 1950. Housing, administration and maintenance facilities, begun in April 1950, were 98 percent complete; and utilities for housing and administration facilities, be- gun in April 1950, were completed in September 1950. Excavation of intake channel and relocation of State highway, begun in Febru- ary 1950, were completed in June 1951. The first-stage construction, including the first cofferdam and right bank blanket and excavation, begun in July 1950, was 96 percent complete. The second-stage con- struction, including the main dam and excavation for the powerhouse and intake structure, begun in November 1950, was 7 percent com- plete.

QUILLAYUTE RIVER, WASH. Location. This river is formed by the junction of the Soleduck and Bogachiel Rivers, and flows westerly 5 miles to the Pacific Ocean at La Push, Wash., about 30 miles south of Cape Flattery. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6102.) Existing project. This provides for a jetty on the easterly side of the mouth, and a dike, with groins, on the westerly side, with a view of 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 actual cost for new work was $68,000. The latest (1950) ap- proved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $13,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents July 3, 1930 Jetty on easterly side of mouth, and a dike, with H.

Under date of March 8, 1950, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the exist- ing project to provide a channel 10 feet deep and 100 feet wide extending 2,000 feet upstream from deep water; a basin 10 feet deep, 300 to 425 feet wide, and 2,400 feet long at the upper end of the channel; and raising the easterly jetty to a height of 15 feet above mean lower low water, all at an estimated cost to the United States of $375,000 for construction and annual maintenance of $65,750 in addition to that now required; subject to certain conditions of local cooperation, including a cash contribution of $20,000 toward the cost of the improvement (H. Doc. 579, 81st Cong., 2d sess.). Local cooperation. Fully complied with, including agreement to repair any breach in the sand spit north of James Island. A channel 6 feet deep, 50 feet wide, and about 2,500 feet long, extending upstream from the Coast Guard ways, was dredged in 1948 and 1949 with Coast Guard funds. Terminal facilities. There are four terminals at La Push; of these, three privately owned are open to public use to accommodate small commercial fishing vessels, and one owned by the United States is used as a Coast Guard station. These facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Costs in connection with a survey made during the previous fiscal year were $0.80, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $3.00. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was substan- tially completed in 1931, omitting the groins, which do not appear 2300 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 necessary or desirable. In April 1950, the jetty showed some dete- rioration, the dike was in good condition, and the controlling depth in the entrance channel was 6 feet over a width of 120 feet. The costs and expenditures to June 30, 1951, have been $68,000 for new work and $137,807.15 for maintenance, a total of $205,807.15. Proposed operations. An allotment of $2,500 will be expended on a condition survey during fiscal year 1952. The sum of $50,000 can be profitably expended for the fiscal year 1953 for condition surveys, maintenance dredging, and repair of the dike and jetty.

PORT GAMBLE HARBOR, WASH. Location. Port Gamble 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 6421.) 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 1950, is $18,750 ex- clusive of $25,500 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $250.

Fully complied with, except as modified by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, adopting the 30-foot channel, which provides that local interests shall contribute two- thirds of the cost, but not to exceed $13,500. This condition has not been met, and local interests reported under date of April 28, 1937, RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2301 that, due to heavy losses suffered by the lumber industry, they were unable to bear such a large percentage of the cost at that time. Terminal facilities. There are two privately owned and operated wharves in Port Gamble Harbor; one located at a sawmill is suitable for use by oceangoing vessels, the other is used by light-draft vessels for handling petroleum products. Operations and results during fiscal year. A condition survey was made at a cost of $670.37, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $634.72. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 62 percent complete. The original project for a 28-foot channel was completed in 1920. A survey made in May 1951 showed a depth of 28 feet over a width of 110 feet. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to widen the channel to 200 feet and deepen it to 30 feet. The costs have been $11,911.08 from Federal funds and $21,260.09 from contributed funds for new work, and $2,336.65 for maintenance, a total of $14,247.73 from Federal funds and $21,260.09 from con- tributed funds. The total expenditures have been $35,472.17. Proposed operations. No work is scheduled for fiscal year 1952. The sum of $25,000 can be profitably expended for the fiscal year 1953 for maintenance dredging.

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 Harbor Act of June 13, 1902, provided for dredging a low-water 2302 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 channel 10 feet in depth from Shilshole Bay through Salmon Bay to the wharves at Ballard; and for the appointment of a board of engi- neers to make investigations for constructing a canal, over alternate routes, with necessary locks and dams. For further details see page 2003, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1880, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a double lock and fixed dam with movable crest and necessary accessory works at the Narrows at the entrance to Salmon Bay, approximately 11/4 miles from deep water in Puget Sound; for a channel 34 feet deep at mean lower low water and 300 feet wide from Puget Sound to the Great Northern Railway bridge, about 5,500 feet, with a passing basin 34 feet deep and log 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.

Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. There are 106 wharves, piers, and landings on Lake Washington Ship Canal and adjacent inland waters, including Shilshole Bay, Salmon Bay, Lake Union, Portage Bay, and Lake Washington. Twenty-three wharves are used for moorage and serv- icing of commercial fishing vessels; of these, four are publicly owned. Other publicly owned wharves include four used by agencies of the United States Government, and two used by the City of Seattle. The other wharves include 19 used for the building, outfitting, or repair of vessels, 14 for handling petroleum products, 24 for various indus- trial purposes, 16 for mooring and servicing pleasure craft, and 4 are not in use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. The locks were operated and maintained throughout the year. Repairs were made to the appurtenant structures as required, and included renewal of one 30- inch pump case, and removal and overhaul of the small lock guard gates. A new fire-fighting system was installed on the wall between the large and small locks. Installation of perimeter lights for se- curity purposes was initiated. Reconstruction of the northwest sec- tion of the Portage Cut revetments was completed under contract in October 1950. The costs were $341,324.14, all for operation and care. The expenditures were $342,326.30. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1934. The water between the locks and Lake Washington is non- tidal and is maintained between elevations 20 feet and 22 feet above mean lower low water in Puget Sound. The controlling depths when last ascertained were as follows: From Puget Sound to the locks, 28.7 feet in July 1948; the locks to Lake Union, 30 feet in June 1948; Lake Union to Lake Washington, 28.6 feet in November 1949. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1951, have been $3,539,294.87 for new work, including $192,516.44 Public Works funds, $108,379.38 for maintenance, and $3,485,547.45 for operation and care, a total of $7,133,221.70. The expenditures have been $7,133,905.22. In addition, the sum of $1,631,195.33 was expended between 1916 and 1936 on the operating and care of the works of improvement, 2304 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, 1U. S. ARMY, 1951 under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. In addition, there was expended by the State of Washington $246,567.07, and by King County, $742,070.51 in the excavation of the channel above the locks and in construction of concrete revetment at the portage.

There are 106 wharves and piers on Seattle Harbor, exclusive of those given in the report for Lake Washington Ship Canal. Fifty-three are located on Elliott Bay, 19 on east water- way, 15 on west waterway, 16 on Duwamish waterway, and 3 on Puget Sound near the northern limits of the port. Of these, 22 general cargo terminals and 1 grain terminal are open for public use. Eight of the general cargo terminals are publicly owned, and six of these are publicly operated. The grain terminal is publicly owned and privately operated. The remaining 83 serve various in- dustrial purposes, with the exception of 7 that are either owned or leased by the United States and are restricted to Government use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance dredging totaling 469,611 cubic yards was accomplished on Duwamish water- way above Fourteenth Avenue South under contract during the period December 14, 1950, to February 25, 1951. The costs were $142,124.96, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $219,636.02. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- 2306 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 pleted in 1931, except the settling basin. The controlling depths in West and East waterways in January 1951 were as follows: West waterway, 34 feet except along the edges and the extreme inner por- tion; East waterway, 34 feet except along the edges and except over two small shoals where the least depth is 32.2 feet, from Elliott Bay to the Spokane Street terminal, and 15.2 feet over a width of 200 feet in the southerly 600 feet of the waterway. The controlling depths in Duwamish waterway when last ascertained were as fol- lows: 29.4 feet, except along the edges, from the head of West water- way to First Avenue South; 19.6 feet, except along the edges, from First Avenue South to Eighth Avenue South; 15 feet, except along the edges, from Eighth Avenue South to Fourteenth Avenue South; 15 feet by 150 feet from Fourteenth Avenue South for a distance of 1,400 feet, in June 1950; and 15 feet by 150 feet in the remainder of the waterway in February 1951. All depths refer to the plane of mean lower low water. Local interests have practically completed dredging of East waterway above the 750-foot section and of the turning basin at the junction of the waterways to 30 feet. The costs and expenditures from Federal funds to June 30, 1951, have been $170,334.74 for new work and $722,555.40 for maintenance, a total of $892,890.14. In addition, $69,332.64 has been expended from contributed funds for new work. Proposed operations.

This harbor is 30 miles south of Seattle and embraces Commencement Bay and tributary waterways. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6407.) Previous projects. The project for the Puyallup waterway, pro- viding for a channel 500 feet wide, 32 feet deep, and 3,650 feet long, was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905; sus- RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2307 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 (renamed Port-Indus- trial waterway in 1949), 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 1950, is $574,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, and exclusive of $40,000 to be contributed by local interests for dredging Wapato (Port-Industrial) waterway. The latest (1950) approved estimates for annual cost of mainte- nance are as follows: City waterway, $5,000; Hylebos waterway, $2,000; Wapato waterway, $1,000; Puyallup River training walls, $2,500.

ARMY, 1951 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 76 wharves and piers on Tacoma Harbor. Twenty-four are located on Commencement Bay, 24 on City waterway, 4 on Middle waterway, 5 on Milwaukee waterway, 7 on Wapato waterway, and 12 on Hylebos waterway. Twenty-nine of the wharves are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels; of these six serving general cargo terminals and one serving a grain elevator are open for public use; two of the former and the latter are publicly owned. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance dredging of Hylebos waterway above East Eleventh Street, totaling 114,196 cubic yards, was completed by contract in May 1951 at a cost of $42,809.50. Condition surveys of Hylebos waterway below East Eleventh Street, Puyallup waterway, and City waterway were made at a cost of $3,082.52. The total costs were $45,892.02, all for main- tenance. The expenditures were $45,819.84. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 74 percent complete. City waterway was completed in 1905. The costs have been $150,018.58 for new work and $202,079.24 for maintenance, a total of $352,097.82, not including $5,000 expended for maintenance from contributed funds. The depths available in May 1951 were as follows: 28.2 feet over a width of 500 feet, from Commencement Bay to South Eleventh Street; 22.0 feet over a width of 250 feet, from South Eleventh Street to South Fourteenth Street; and 16.0 feet over a width of 110 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 $72,915.96 for maintenance, a total of $285,417.56. Depths available in May 1951 were as follows: 29.3 feet over a width of 140 feet from deep water in Commencement Bay to East Eleventh Street; 30 feet over a width of 200 feet from East Eleventh Street to bend below Lincoln Avenue; and 30 feet over a width of 150 feet above Lincoln Avenue, with a least depth of 30 feet in the turning basin, except in the upper 200 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 $4,155.67, a total of $55,- 764.79. On April 4, 1943, a slide destroyed the east training wall. The depth at its outer end in April 1951 was 64 feet. The west wall is in good condition. No work has been done by the Corps of Engineers on the existing project for Wapato waterway. The latest survey, made in Decem- ber 1944, showed a controlling depth of 30 feet over a width of about 500 feet in the lower 1,600 feet of the waterway, thenice a channel 80 feet wide with a minimum depth of 14.5 feet extending southerly RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2309 along the westerly margin of the waterway for about 1,800 feet; and a channel 200 feet wide with a minimum depth of 20.7 feet extending southerly along the easterly margin of the waterway. The easterly side of the waterway has since been improved by the United States Navy for mooring inactivated ships. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to dredge all of Wapato waterway to a depth of 30 feet. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1951, have been $414,129.30 for new work, including $51,609.12 Public Works funds, and $279,150.87 for maintenance, a total of $693,280.17, not including $5,000 contributed funds for maintenance. The expendi- tures have been $693,208.69. Proposed operations. No work is scheduled for the fiscal year 1952. The sum of $55,000 can be profitably expended for the fiscal year 1953, for maintenance dredging by contract in City waterway, and for surveys of Hylebos and Puyallup waterways.

This harbor is near the southern end of Puget Sound at the head of Budd Inlet, about 45 miles southwest of Tacoma. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6462.) Previous projects. The original project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892, provided for a channel on the east side of the harbor 250 feet wide and 12 feet deep from vicinity of Fourth Street Bridge to deep water in Budd Inlet, with a turning basin 500 feet wide at the inner end. The River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910, modified and extended the project to provide for a channel on the west side of the harbor 200 feet wide and 12 feet deep from deep water to a point 1,900 feet south of the west side waterway, with a turning basin at its inner end 800 feet long and a maximum width of 400 feet. For further details see page 1369 of Annual Re- port 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 2310 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 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 latest (1951) estimate of cost for new work, is $547,000, ex- clusive-of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000.

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 Olym- pia advised January 25, 1949, that it could not comply with the requirements at that time but would do so on the earliest possible date. Terminal facilities. There are 17 wharves and piers on Olympia Harbor. Two serve general cargo terminals that are open for public use; one of these, which is publicly owned and operated, is located on the improved channel and has sufficient depths alongside to ac- commodate oceangoing vessels; the other, privately owned and op- erated, is used by vessels in the Puget Sound trade. The remainder are suitable for barges and scows and are used for various indus- trial purposes. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. None. The costs and expenditures, all for new work accomplished during previous fiscal year, were $0.35. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 83 percent complete. The channel and basin were completed to present dimen- sions in 1939. In July 1949, controlling depths in the completed section were as follows: 29 feet in the outer channel, 29.3 feet in the entrance channel, and 27.9 feet in the turning basin. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to widen the en- trance channel and enlarge the turning basin as authorized by the Act of March 2, 1945. The costs and expenditures under the exist- ing project to June 30, 1951, have been $262,825.33 for new work, RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2311 including $105,467 Public Works funds, and $77,809.97 for mainte- nance, a total of $340,635.30.

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 project for the inner harbor, adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892, provided for improvement of North channel, by constructing a dike across middle channel and head of South chan- nel; and improving Chehalis River from Grays Harbor to Monte- sano 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 ele- vation of 16 feet above mean lower low water and by dredging; for maintenance of a channel 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and 350 feet wide from deep water in Grays Harbor to the Port of Grays Harbor Commission terminal, a distance of 131/4 miles; thence 26 feet deep and 200 to 350 feet wide to the Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen, a distance of 21/4 miles; thence 18 feet deep 2312 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 and 200 feet wide to Cosmopolis, a distance of 3 .miles; for a chan- nel 16 feet deep at mean lower low water and 150 feet wide from Cosmopolis to Montesano, a distance of 103/4 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 breakwater at Westhaven Cove; and for protection of Point Chehalis for an ex- posed length of about 7,500 feet. 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 latest (1951) estimate of cost for new work, is $6,635,000. 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 con- tributed by local interests. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance dredging in the section below Aberdeen is $373,700. Local interests are to maintain the work above Aber- deen; enlarge and maintain Westhaven base.

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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2313 with an equal amount of Government funds in securing a 12-foot channel to Montesano, the remaining contribution necessary to com- plete 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, shall 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 pipeline dredge without charge other than reimbursement to the Port of Grays Har- bor Commission for the operating costs of the dredge on a basis approved by the Chief of Engineers, and maintain the channel above the Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen. These con- ditions 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 termi- nal to deep water, at a cost of $162,000. The 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 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 channel; 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 ap- proved by the Chief of Engineers; hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of improye- ments; 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 suitable service and supply facilities, open to all on equal terms. The necessary assur- ances of local cooperation were furnished by the Port Commission of the Port of Grays Harbor on October 7, 1949, and were approved by the Secretary of the Army on November 23, 1949, Right-of-way re- quired for construction and maintenance of the project was fur- nished by the Port Commission of the Port of Grays Harbor on May 1, 1950. Terminal facilities. There are 27 wharves and piers on Grays Harbor and adjacent inland waters, including 1 general cargo ter- minal, 13 sawmill wharves, 1 pulp- and paper-mill wharf, 9 fish wharves and 3 miscellaneous industrial wharves. One general cargo wharf and two fish wharves are publicly owned and open to public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Hired labor 2314 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 operations during the fiscal year included model studies conducted by the Waterways Experiment Station at Vicksburg, and completion of engineering and design for construction of an additional groin and a sand fence at Point Chehalis. Costs were $46,522.15. Contract operations for dredging Bay City Channel were com- pleted in July 1950 by the Port of Grays Harbor dredge Robert Gray. Removal of 7,588 cubic yards of material was accomplished at a cost of $4,833. A contract awarded in May 1950 for breakwater protecting Westhaven Cove and pile groins along the northeast shore of Point Chehalis was completed in December 1950, with 36,967 tons of rock placed and 66,934 linear feet of timber piling driven. Costs were $385,237.98. Maintenance: Surveys were made by the U. S. survey boat Mamala at a cost of $28,424.89. Maintenance dredging accomplished included removal of 604,904 cubic yards of material from Cross-Over and North Channels, 16,896 cubic yards from Chehalis River at Aber- deen, and 143,369 cubic yards from Sand Island Shoal, a total of 765,169 cubic yards, by the U. S. hopper dredge Biddle at a cost of $166,970.81; removal of 173,126 cubic yards from Cross-Over Chan- nel, 14,320 cubic yards from Sand Island Shoal, and 5,728 cubic yards from the Chehalis River at Aberdeen, a total of 193,174 cubic yards, by the U. S. hopper dredge Dan C. Kingman at a cost of $46,481.04; and removal of 566,644 cubic yards from the North Chan- nel by the leased pipeline dredge Robert Gray at a cost of $88,017.15. The total costs for the fiscal year from regular funds were $436,- 593.13 for new work and $329,893.89 for maintenance. Expenditures were $798,232.72. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was 51 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 April 1951, the inner 7,756 feet of the reconstructed jetty were at grade, the next 4,000 feet showed subsidence to a maximum depth of 18 feet below grade, and the outer 900 feet had been destroyed by the sea. Serious erosion of the shore line 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 December 1913. It was later restored and raised to or above ordinary high water, this work being completed in January 1916. During 1941 and 1942, an 8,288-foot section was reconstructed westward from the high-water line, the inner 7,760 feet being raised to a crest ele- vation of +20 feet and the remainder to an elevation of +-30feet. The remainder of the north jetty has not been restored. The 412-foot section seaward of the reconstructed jetty is at the elevation of mean lower low water, and the 7,300-foot section shoreward of the recon- structed jetty has sanded in. An examination of the reconstructed jetty, made in June 1949, showed that sea action had leveled the outer 325 feet; had breached the sand spit at the shore end, ex- posing 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 Westhaven Cove breakwater was completed in 1950. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASHi., DISTRICT 2315 The 26-foot channel previously dredged by the Port of Grays Harbor below Aberdeen was deepened to 30 feet from the port terminal to deep water in the lower harbor in 1945. The 18-foot channel below Cosmopolis and 6-foot channel between Cosmopolis and Montesano were completed in 1910, and the latter was deepened to 12 feet in 1931. The Bay City Channel was completed in July 1950. The controlling depths, when last ascertained, were as follows: Bar channel, 31 feet over a width of 2,000 feet (November 1950); deep water in lower harbor to port terminal, 29 feet over a width of 175 feet (June 1951); port terminal to Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen, 26 feet over a width of 150 feet (June 1951); Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen to Cosmopolis, 22.6 feet over a width of 200 feet (January to March 1950); Cosmopolis to Montesano, 8.9 feet (April 1943) ; Bay City Channel from South Bay to Bay City, 11.3 feet at shoal No. 1 and 14 feet throughout remainder of channel (October 1951). The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to con- struct further protective works for Point Chehalis and the south jetty; and increase the channel depth from Cosmopolis to Montesano to 16 feet. The total costs of the existing project to June 30, 1951, have been as follows: New Work Maintenance Total Regular ----------------------------------- $3, 390, 711. 56 $12, 570, 179. 13 $15, 960, 890. 69 Public Works-_ _ ----------- ___ -.--__ _ . _.-- _ 57, 000. 00 57, 000. 00 Emergency Relief -------------------------------- ____ __________ 409, 659. 55 409, 659. 55 Total, United States funds----------------- 3, 390, 711. 56 13, 036, 838. 68 16, 427, 550. 24 Contributed funds-_ ____ __.- ________-_ 35, 834. 27 47, 889. 45 83, 723. 72 Total, all funds---------------------- 3,426, 545. 83 13, 084, 728. 13 16, 511,273. 96 The total expenditures have been $16,426,387.84, of which $15,959,- 728.29 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 Mailboat and Lauderbach sloughs, and for snagging the Nasel River. The act of August 18, 1894, appropriated funds for the work under way and for improving North River by removal of a log jam. The act of March 3, 1899, authorized additional work in clearing a channel RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2317 through the log jam on North River and appropriate 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 snagging or other- wise. The act of March 2, 1907, contemplated a channel 150 feet wide and 12 feet deep between South Bend and Raymond. The act of June 25, 1910, provided for a channel 200 feet wide and 18 feet deep from deep water in Willapa Bay to the junction of the North and South Forks of the river at Raymond, and for a channel 18 feet deep and 150 feet wide up the South Fork for a distance of 3,100 feet. For further details, see page 2001 of Annual Report for 1915; page 968 of Annual Report for 1910; and page 1861 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel over the bar at the mouth of Willapa Bay, 26 feet deep at mean lower low water, with a minimum width of 500 feet; for straightening the river channel at the Narrows about a mile dowstream from Raymond by a cut-off channel 200 feet wide, 24 feet deep, and about 3,100 feet long; for a channel 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide from deep water in Willapa Bay to the forks of the river at Raymond, 24 feet deep and 150 feet wide up the South Fork as far as the deep basin above the Cram lumber mill, and up the North Fork to a point opposite Twelfth Street, with a turning basin 250 feet wide, 350 feet long, and 24 feet deep at the latter point, and a closing dike at Mailboat slough; and for a channel from deep water in Palix River to Bay Center Dock, with a depth of 10 feet at mean lower low water over a bottom width of 40 feet, widened at the shoreward end to provide a small mooring basin. The length of the section included in the project is 26 miles for the main channels, and about 2,800 feet for the Palix River-Bay Center channel. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.9 feet at Toke Point; 9.9 feet at Raymond; and 9.2 feet at Bay Center. The extreme range is 18 feet at Toke Point; 19.3 feet at Raymond; and 16 feet at Bay Center. The cost of new work for the completed project was $772,631, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and exclusive of $71,775 contributed by local interests. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $277,500.

S. ARMY, 1951 Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. There are 36 wharves on Willapa River and Harbor, including 8 in Willapa Bay, 7 in Bay Center, 19 in Ray- mond and South Bend, and 2 in Tokeland. Five of the wharves at Raymond and South Bend are suitable for use of oceangoing ves- sels; one of these, which is publicly owned and operated, is open for use as a general cargo terminal; three are located at sawmills; and one is not in use. All of the other wharves, including three that are publicly owned and operated, are used by light-draft vessels in local trade. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Additional costs for payment of contractor's claim on the dredging contract completed in September 1949 were $3,793.73. Maintenance: Hydrographic surveys were made by the U. S. sur- vey boat Mamala at a cost of $23,061.50. Maintenance dredging in the amount of 458,785 cubic yards was accomplished by the U. S. hopper dredge Col. P. S. Michie, including 342,196 cubic yards removed from the bar channel, 92,784 cubic yards from North River Shoal, and 44,506 cubic yards from Willapa River, at a cost of $80,- 782.10. The U. S. hopper dredge Pacific removed a total of 212,700 cubic yards of material from five shoals in the river channel, at a cost of $73,445.10. A total of 8,500 cubic yards of material was removed from Bay Center Channel, to complete 85 percent of a maintenance dredging contract at a cost of $9,612.47, The costs for the fiscal year were $186,901.17 for maintenance and $3,793.73 for new work, a total of $190,694.90. The expenditures were $176,440.66. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1936 except for the channel from Palix River to Bay Center, which was completed in 1949. The dike at the head of Mailboat Slough is in good condition. A survey completed June 29, 1951, showed a controlling depth of 23 feet over a width of 500 feet across the bar. The controlling depths in the inner channels (March 1951) were as follows: Below forks at Raymond, 22 feet over width of 180 feet; lower 2,200 feet of North Fork, 24 feet over width of 80 feet; and lower 1,450 feet of South Fork, 24.2 feet over width of 150 feet. The controlling depth in Bay Center Channel in February 1951 was 9.2 feet. There has been no navigation in the upper portions of the forks, and no soundings have been taken in recent years. The total costs of the existing project to June 30, 1951, have been as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular..------------------------- $580, 316.72 $2,262,806.89 $2,843,123.61 Public Works___ - ...................................... _78, 533. 00 78, 533. 00 Emergency Relief- .... -.. ... -.. -...... -192,314. 06-..-.-.------ -192,314. 06 Total, United States funds----------------- $772,630. 78 $2,341. 339.89 $3, 113.970. 67 Contributed funds_ _ _ -....-.................... 71, 775. 00 .....------------------ 71, 775. 00 Total, all funds- ---- .. ...... ...---. - $844,405.78 $2,341,339.89 $3, 185, 745.67 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2319 The total expenditures have been $3,096,983.36, of which $2,826,- 136.30 were regular funds, $78,533 Public Works funds, and $192,- 314.06 Emergency Relief funds.

No work on this project is scheduled in the Seattle district during the fiscal years 1952 and 1953. 21. LIBBY DAM, KOOTENAI RIVER, MONT. Location. The Kootenai River rises in British Columbia, flows southerly about 40 miles into Montana, and thence northwesterly across western Montana and the northeastern cornor of Idaho to re- enter British Columbia, where it empties into Columbia River after passing through Kootenay Lake. The site of Libby Dam is about 11 miles upstream from Libby, Mont., and 212.8 miles upstream from the mouth of Kootenai River. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic sheet, "Thompson Lakes, Mont." Existing project. The project provides for a straight concrete gravity overflow flood-control and power dam on Kootenai River over 400 feet high; for a powerhouse; and for a reservoir backing water into Canada with a usable storage capacity of over 4,250,000 acre-feet. The power installation will consist of six units, each with a capacity of 103,000 kilowatts. Final height of the dam will depend on the final location of the dam axis and on an Order to be issued by the International Joint Commission, determining the maximum pool elevation The total estimated cost of construction of the project, revised in 1951, is $263,562,000 for six units. Estimate for annual operation and maintenance for six units (made in 1950) is $876,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950. (See H. Doc. 531, 81st Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. None. Condition at end of fiscal year. No work has been done under this project, and there have been no costs or expenditures. Proposed operations. An allotment of $125,000 will be used to initiate advance planning during fiscal year 1952. The additional sum of $215,000 can be profitably expended for fiscal year 1953 for continuation of advance planning and design.

ALBENI FALLS DAM, PEND OREILLE RIVER, IDAHO Location. Pend Oreille River has its source in Pend Oreille Lake in northern Idaho, which receives most of its inflow from Clark Fork. The lake has an area of about 83,500 acres. Pend Oreille River leaves the lake near Sandpoint, Idaho, and flows westerly 25 miles to Albeni Falls, where the channel is divided by an island and the low-water fall is about 7 feet. About 2 miles downstream FLOOD CONTROLr--SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2325 from the falls, the stream enters the State of Washington, in which its course is northwesterly for 72 miles to the Canadian border. In Canada, Pend Oreille River flows westerly for 16 miles and joins the Columbia River. Just downstream from this junction, Columbia River enters the United States, where it flows generally southward across Washington and westerly along the Washington-Oregon line to the Pacific Ocean, a total distance of about 748 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic sheets "Sandpoint, Idaho," and "New- port, Wash." Existing project. The project provides for a low concrete gravity dam at Albeni Falls on Pend Oreille River for power generation*, flood control, and related water uses. The dam will consist of an overflow spillway in the left channel and a powerhouse having an installation of 42,600 kilowatts in the right channel, creating a res- ervoir with a usable storage capacity of 1,140,000 acre-feet. The dam site is 838 and 90 miles upstream from the mouths of Columbia and Pend Oreille Rivers, respectively, and is 41 miles northwesterly from Spokane, Wash. The current (1951) total estimated Federal cost of construction of the project is $31,070,000. Estimate for annual operation and main- tenance (made in 1950) is $345,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950. (See S. Doc. 9, 81st Cong., 1st sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor operations were carried on as follows: Basis of design for the project, in lieu of a definite project report, was completed. Design memoranda relative to various project features were prepared, including concrete aggre- gate investigations, project housing, and public facilities. Founda- tion exploration, surveys, and design studies were completed. Engi- neering and design were completed for construction of spillway structure and powerhouse channel cofferdams and for procurement of three hydraulic turbine governors. Preparation of the master reservoir management plan and related field investigations and de- sign studies were begun. Evaluation of probable direct damages by the regulated pool to highways, railroads, wire lines, and other utili- ties was substantially completed. All dam site and construction area lands were acquired, and preparation of evaluation reports on reser- voir lands was initiated. A concrete control laboratory was estab- lished at the dam site. Work was under way on the following features, by contract; Engineering and design for construction of the powerhouse and installation of equipment therein was commenced by architect-engi- neer contract. Aerial topography of the dam site was completed. Supply contracts were awarded for gantry cranes for spillway and for the powerhouse intake, hydraulic turbines, and generators. Used steel sheet piling for cofferdam was procured as surplus from Buffalo district. Contracts for foundation drilling for the spillway and part of the powerhouse area were completed. Construction of the pro- ject was started January 11, 1951. First-stage construction, consist- ing of clearing, preliminary excavation, and construction of spillway 2326 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 cofferdams, was completed during the period January to May 1951. Second-stage construction, consisting of spillway dam, powerhouse cofferdams, and appurtenances, was started in March 1951 and is 6 percent complete. The costs were $1,408,714.97, all for new work. Expenditures were $1,021,509.57. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 5 percent complete. Engineering and design are about 40 percent com- plete. First-stage excavation, construction, and unwatering of spill- way cofferdams have been completed.

MUD MOUNTAIN DAM, WHITE RIVER, WASH. Location. The White River rises on the northeastern slope of Mount Rainier, in the State of Washington, and flows in a general northwesterly direction for 57 miles to its confluence with the Puy- allup River. The White is the principal tributary of the Puyallup 2330 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 River and enters the latter 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.") Exis'ting project. The plan of improvement provides for the con- struction of a rock-fill dam, 700 feet long at crest elevation and rising 425 feet above bedrock. The 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 over 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 author- ized 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 1951, is $13,212,800. The current (1951) estimate of cost of maintenance and operation is $115,000 annually. Local cooperation. None required. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work under con- tract was completed-on the administration and recreational facilities, access road surfacing, and removal of construction trestle and con- struction of access trestle to valve house stairway. In addition, work was partially completed on replacement of cableway structure and rigging, right bank improvement, including grading, cribbing, and slide shed, revision of 9- and 23-foot tunnel intakes, and installation of gate in 9-foot tunnel. New work by hired labor was completed on minor adjustments and modifications to fishway, an experimental sediment control baffle for fishway, and a protective screen for access stairway to valve house. Work was continued on landscaping administration and recreation areas, sedimentation survey and mapping, and acquisition of ease- ments for the radio-reporting network. Operation and maintenance of the dam and appurtenances, gages, radio network, roads, buildings, grounds, and utilities were con- tinued; and drift removal, fish haul, and storm studies were ac- complished. A total of 15,593 migratory fish was transported around the dam in tank trucks. There were no floods of consequence dur- ing the year. However, in November 1950 and February 1951, the pool rose to elevation 1072, equivalent to a head of 177 feet and a storage of 18,033 acre-feet. Total costs for the fiscal year were $373,494.56, of which $301,- 258.77 was for new work and $72,235.79 for maintenance. Expendi- tures were $369,614.59.

The Snake River, which is the largest tributary of Columbia River, rises in Yellowstone National Park, in the west- ern part of Wyoming, flows in a general westerly direction for about 1,000 miles and empties into Columbia River near Pasco, Wash., 324 miles from the Pacific Ocean. (See U. S. Geological Survey maps of Oregon, Washington and Idaho.) Previous projects. No formal project for the improvement of Snake River was adopted by Congress prior to the act of June 13, 1902. Subsequent projects were adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 13, 1902, June 25, 1910 and August 30, 1935. For further details see page 1991 of Annual Report for 1915, page 1849 of Annual Report for 1938 and page 2676 of Annual Report for 1948. Existing project. This provides for the construction of such dams as are necessary and operi-channel improvement for purposes of pro- viding slack water navigation and irrigation between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston, Idaho. The pool formed by McNary Dam will provide slack water from the mouth of Snake River to mile 9.7. For maintenance purposes the project also provides for any necessary work on the River between Lewiston and Johnson's Bar, Idaho, as authorized under previous projects. No channel di- mensions are specified above Lewiston. A system of four dams between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston has been ap- proved. The estimated total cost, revised in 1951 including the installation of three power units at each dam is as follows: Dam 1, Ice Harbor, river mile 9.7 $102,132,000 __---------------------------- Dam 2, Lower Monumental, river mile 44.7_________ ______ 92,614,000 Dam 3, Little Goose, river mile 72.2-------------------------- _ __ 104,335,000 Dam 4, Lower Granite, river mile 113.1 ----------------------- _87,306,000 Total ------------------------------------------------ 386,387,000 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 authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945. (See H. Doc. 704, 75th Cong., 3d Sess.) Local cooperation. No conditions were imposed by law. Terminal facilities. From the 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 ele- vators located at Penawawa, mile 91.5, Lewiston, mile 140, Asotin, mile 146 and between Asotin and 11 miles above. Just above Lew- iston, 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 trans- ferred to the railroad on the right bank.

McNARY LOCK AND DAM, COLUMBIA RIVER, OREG. Location. The site of this project is on the Columbia River, 292 miles above the mouth, near Umatilla, Oreg., and 3 miles above the mouth of the Umatilla River. Existing project. This project includes a dam, power plant, navi- gation lock, and appurtenant facilities for purposes of navigation, power development, and incidental irrigation. The proposed im- provement provides principally for the improvement of navigation, creation of pool extending approximately 64 miles upstream to a point about 27 miles above Pasco, Wash. The dam, which will raise the normal water surface approximately 85 feet to elevation 340 mean sea level, will be approximately 7,600 feet long and will consist of an earth dam at the Oregon (south) abutment, a powerhouse, a spillway dam, a navigation lock, and an earth dam at the Washing- ton (north) abutment. Suitable facilities for migrating fish, in- cluding fish ladders, will be provided. The powerhouse installation will comprise 14 units of 70,000 kilo- watts each, making a total installed capacity of 980,000 kilowatts. The spillway dam will be 1,310 feet long and will be located in the north channel of the river. The overflow crest at 291 feet above sea level will be surmounted by 22 spillway gates capable of releas- ing the design flood of 2,200,000 cubic feet per second. The deck will be at elevation 361 and will provide a service roadway and tracks for the operation of two gantry cranes. RIVERS AND HARBORS-WALLA WALLA, WASH., DISTRICT 2349 The navigation lock will be a single type and will operate at all flows less than 800,000 cubic feet per second. The pool created by the spillway dam will provide a navigable channel with depths of 12 feet and over, between McNary Dam and the confluence of the Yakima River, a distance of approximately 43 miles. A controlling depth of 9 feet will be provided on Snake River from its mouth to a point approximately 10.2 miles above. All structures will be founded on a massive basalt flow that reaches a maximum thickness of 130 feet and directly overlies a sedimentary interbed. The principal data concerning the navigation lock and spillway dam are shown in the following table: Navigation lock Type__----------------------------------Single lift.

Nome Harbor is situated at the mouth of Snake River on the northerly shore of Norton Sound, an arm of Bering Sea. It is a shallow, open roadstead, 581 nautical miles north of Dutch Har- bor and 2,288 nautical miles northwest of Seattle, Wash. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 9302, 9308 and 9381.) Existing project. This provides for two jetties, the easterly, 951 feet long and the westerly, not exceeding 676 feet long, at the mouth of the Snake River; a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water and 75 feet wide from Norton Sound through Snake River to the mouths of Bourbon and Dry Creeks, in the city of Nome, terminating in a basin of similar depths 250 feet wide and 600 feet long; revetting the banks of the river; and protecting all existing water-front im- provements on the easterly beach by means of a rock-mound seawall 2371 2372 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 3,350 feet long extending easterly from the east jetty. The extreme tidal range is 2.8 feet and the range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 1.6 feet, but water levels are in- fluenced more by wind than tide. Levels of 7 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 observed during a southerly storm. The latest (1951) approved estimate of cost for new work is $2,115,950. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of mainte- nance, exclusive of the sea wall, which is to be maintained by local interests, is $67,500, including $20,000 for annual maintenance of the authorized extensions to the jetties, but excluding $2,500 to be contributed by the city of Nome. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents and reports I Aug. 8, 1917 For 2 jetties, the easterly 335 feet and the westerly 460 H.

June 16, 1948 Sea wall ---------------------------------- Report of the Chief of Engineers dated Mar. 8, 1948. 1Contain latest published maps. Local cooperation. In accordance with the provisions of the River and Harbor Act of August 8, 1917, which authorized the initial improvement, the city of Nome furnished evidence, accepted by the Secretary of War on December 22, 1917, that it would contribute $2,500 annually toward the maintenance of the improvement and furnish all lands or easements necessary to the proper execution of the work. These conditions have been met annually as required. In accordance with the provisions of the River and Harbor Act of June 16, 1948, which authorized the sea wall, local interests are required to furnish without cost to the United States, the necessary lands, easements, rights-of-way, and quarry rights; accomplished 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. These conditions have been met. Terminal facilities. Cargoes and passengers from ocean vessels are lightered to and from shore a distance of about 2 miles. Traffic enters the dredged channel and is handled over the revetment, where transfer facilities that are open to public use have been installed by a lighterage company. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a 3-year continu- ing contract, construction of the sea wall was completed in June 1951 at a total cost for the year of $727,793.05, including $727,668.05 RIVERS AND HARBORS-ALASKA DISTRICT 2373 from Federal funds and $125 from contributed funds. By Gov- ernment plant and hired labor dredging of the 400-foot extension of the basin was continued during the period July through September 1950, a total of 6,800 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $11,170.50. Total new work costs were $738,963.55, $738,838.55 from Federal funds and $125 from contributed funds. Maintenance was performed by Government plant and hired labor during August through October 1950 and June 1951, and consisted of dredging 16,100 cubic yards of material from channel, basin, and entrance bar at a cost of $20,000. Materials for completion of revet- ment repairs were delivered to the project at a cost of $25,972.81. Maintenance costs were $45,972.81, $43,472.81 from Federal funds and $2,500.00 from contributed funds. Expenditures were $843,267.05, $840,642.05 from Federal funds and $2,625 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project was 64 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 length of 240 feet and 400 feet was completed in 1940. Dredging of the channel and the original 220- by 250-feet basin was commenced in 1919 and com- pleted in 1922. Construction of the seawall was commenced in 1949 and completed in June 1951. Dredging of the 400-foot extension of the basin was commenced in 1949 and is complete with the excep- tion of small areas at the mouth of Bourbon Creek and around the Corps of Engineers marine ways. Timber revetments have shown progressive deterioration and have been refaced with sheet steel piling, with the excetpion of approxi- mately 450 feet of the south revetment. Concrete on the east jetty has eroded to the extent that wave action passes through the jetty in one spot. The work remaining to be done to complete the pro- ject is to dredge two small areas in the 400-foot extension of the basin at the mouth of Bourbon Creek and around the Corps of Engineers marine ways and to extend the jetties to their authorized lengths. The costs from Federal funds to June 30, 1951, have been $1,345,- 477.24 for new work and $1,153,739.15 for maintenance, a total of $2,499,216.39, and the expenditures have been $2,469,602.87. The costs from contributed funds have been $125 for new work and $72,500 for maintenance, a total of $72,625, and the expenditures have been $70,125. Proposed operations. The balances unexpended June 30, 1951, amounting to $162,043.90 including $2,500.00 contributed funds un- expended, plus an allottment of $40,000.00 and contributed funds in amount of $2,500, totaling $204,543.90 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1951__ ______________ $32,113.52 New work : Final costs for work completed in fiscal year 1951_------------- 2,620.70 Surplus funds -------------------------------------------- 89,852.19 Total for new work-- ---- _-__-___---- - -- .. - $92,472,89 2374 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

VALDEZ HARBOR, ALASKA Location. Valdez Harbor is at the head of Valdez Arm, a nar- row tidal inlet extending northeastward 26 miles from Prince Wil- liam Sound in the Gulf of Alaska. It is 170 miles northeast of Sew- ard, Alaska. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 8519 and 8551.) RIVERS AND HARBORS-ALASKA DISTRICT 2375 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 actual cost for new work, was $52,361. The estimate for annual maintenance, made in 1950, is $7,000. 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. There are 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. No work was accom- plished during the year; however costs in connection with contract for maintenance dredging (awarded in fiscal year 1950 in combina- tion with other Alaska maintenance projects) were $261.96 and ex- penditures were $7,602.57, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. In October 1949 the controlling depth, except along the edges of the basin, was 7.6 feet. Costs to June 30, 1951 have been $52,361.08 for new work and $6,313.63 for maintenance, a total of $58,674.71. Expenditures have been $64,474.45. Proposed operations. The funds unexpended June 30, 1951, $52,- 886.63, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1951______ $608.82 Maintenance: Dredge basin under present contract to restore project depths ------------------------------------------------- 52,277.81 Total --------------------------------------------- $52,886.63 No work is scheduled for fiscal year 1953.

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 southeast 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 actual cost for new work, was $253,534. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $9,000. 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. Under contract awarded in fiscal year 1950 in combination with other Alaska maintenance projects, dredging to restore project depths in the Small Boat Har- bor, was completed in June 1951, at a cost of $77,518.13. Expendi- tures were $65,083.12, for all maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in October 1938. At the end of the fiscal year project depths of 12 feet were available over all navigable portions of the project.

KETCHIKAN HARBOR, ALASKA Location. Ketchikan Harbor is located on the coast of Revillagigedo Island and on the northeasterly side of Tongass Narrows. The har- bor is approximately 98 miles northwest of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, and 102 miles south of Wrangell, Alaska. Juneau, Alaska, is 276 miles to the northwest. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey Charts Nos. 8075, and 8094, and 8095.) Existing project. This provides for the construction of a stone breakwater, with concrete cap, 940 feet in length, to protect that portion of the harbor in the vicinity of Ketchikan Creek, and for dredging the protected area to an average depth of 10 feet at mean lower low water. The mean range of tide is 13 feet. The actual cost for new work, was $224,946. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual maintenance is $2,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act RIVERS AND HARBORS-ALASKA DISTRICT 2387 approved July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. 113, 70th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. There are 35 wharves, piers and floats in Ketchikan Harbor, 21 of which will accommodate large vessels; 5 of these, which are privately owned, are open for public use, 3 as general cargo and passenger terminals, and 2 as cold-storage facili- ties. Of the remainder, all are used for various industrial purposes, excepting two which are not in use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under contract awarded in fiscal year 1950 in combination with other Alaska maintenance projects, dredging to restore project depths in the small boat harbor was completed at a cost of $19,890.98. Expenditures were $2,950.99, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1933. At the end of the fiscal year project depths were available over all navigable portions of the project. Costs to June 30, 1951, have been $224,945.84 for new work and $30,331.67 for maintenance, a total of $255,277.51; expenditures have been $237,715.12. Proposed operations.

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.) 2388 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 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 1951 is $380,000 ex- cluding $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 document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation. Local interests are required to contribute $40,- 000 toward the cost of the improvement, and to provide without cost to the United States all necessary quarry rights and easements thereto. Local interests have stated that the city of Metlakatla has already appropriated the $40,000 required for local contribution, and that it could be turned over to the Federal Government at any time. Terminal facilities. There are two wharves in Metlakatla Harbor. One of these, publicly owned, is used by small vessels in local trade. The other, with a least depth of 23 feet longside, serves a fish cannery and is used to some extent for general cargo by vessels in the coast- wise trade. The 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.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ENGINEERS FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS FISCAL YEAR 1951 The Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors was authorized by section 3 of the River and Harbor Act approved June 13, 1902. The enabling act provided for the organization in the Office of the Chief of Engineers by detail from time to time from the Corps of Engineers of a Board of five engineer officers (later increased by legislation to seven members), a majority of whom shall be of rank not less than lieutenant colonel. The act with subsequent amendments directs that all reports on authorized preliminary examinations and surveys of river and har- bor and flood-control projects be reviewed by the Board prior to submission of the reports by the Chief of Engineers with his recom- mendation to Congress. The review is for the purpose of de- termining the economic and engineering justification of the projects reported upon. The Board is also required upon request by the appropriate committees of Congress to review and report through the Chief of Engineers upon any authorized project or desired im- provement previously reported upon with a view to recommending the initiation of a project or modification of an existing project. The Chief of Engineers may refer to the Board for consideration and recommendation all special reports ordered by Congress and may prescribe such other duties as he desires. Additional duties were assigned to the Board under the Trans- portation Act of 1920 and it is responsible for compiling, publishing, and distributing useful statistics, data, and information concerning water transportation covering over 100 coastal ports in the United States, the ports of the Great Lakes, transportation lines on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers and the Great Lakes, and other mis- cellaneous publications containing information on port and terminal charges, and shipping charges at the United States ports. It com- piles and publishes Part II of the Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers which contains statistics pertaining to water-borne com- merce in the United States. On June 30, 1951, the Board was composed of the following mem- bers: Maj. Gen. John S. Bragdon, Deputy Chief of Engineers; Brig. Gen. Don G. Shingler, division engineer, Missouri River Division; Brig. Gen. Orville E. Walsh, division engineer, North Pacific Divi- sion; Col. Heston R. Cole, resident member, Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors; Col. Wendell P. Trower, division engineer, Great Lakes Division; Col. Louis W. Prentiss, division engineer, Southwestern Division. In addition to the foregoing, the following-named officers have also been detailed for various periods during the year to membership on the Board: Brig. Gen. S. D. Sturgis, division engineer, Missouri River Division; Col. Bernard L. Robinson, division engineer, South 2397 28398 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Atlantic Division; Col. John R.

Miscellaneous special studies were made in connection with subjects pending before the Board and in response to specific requests by the Office of the Chief of Engineers and other governmental agencies; and tables, graphs, and maps have been prepared as necessary therewith. DATA FOR ANNUAL REPORT CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, 1951-BEACH EROSION BOARD The Beach Erosion Board was organized under authority of sec- tion 2 of the River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930 (Public 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 required in this pro- gram, 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 recommendations. By executive rul- ing the agency applying for a cooperative study under this act is required to contribute 50 percent of the estimated cost of the investi- gation. 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, 1950________ 75 Number of applications for studies approved during fiscal year 1951_____- 1 Number of reports completed prior to July 1, 1950__ ______________- 63 Number of reports completed during fiscal year 1951___________________ 3 Number of studies remaining to be completed - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 17 1 These studies involve 29 localities and will result in 29 reports. 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 concerning the configuration of the shore line and the probable effect of the proposed improvement on the coast line for a distance of not less than 10 miles on either side of the entrance. Another supplementary 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, restora- tion and development of beaches; and to publish from time to time such useful data and information concerning the erosion and pro- tection of beaches and shore lines as the Board may deem to be of value to the people of the United States. Federal participation in the cost of protecting the shores of pub- licly owned property was established in the act approved August 13, 1946 (Public Law 727, 79th Cong.), which declared it to be the 2401 2402 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 policy of the United States to assist in the construction, but not the maintenance, of works for the improvement and protection against erosion by waves and currents of the shores of the United States that are owned by States, municipalities, and other political divi- sions; provided that the Federal contribution toward the construc- tion 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 investigation 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 con- nected therewith. At the end of the fiscal year 1951 the Board was composed of the following members: Col. Earl E. Gesler, United States Army, presi- dent; Col. Wendell P. Trower, United States Army, division engi- neer, Great Lakes Division, Chicago, Ill.; Col. Donald S. Burns, United States Army, division engineer, South Pacific Division, San Francisco, Calif.; Col. Richard W. Pearson, United States Army, district engineer, Jacksonville, Fla.; Mr. Thorndike Saville of New York, dean of the College of Engineering, New York University; Mr. Morrough P. O'Brien of California, dean of the College of Engineering, University of California; Dr. Lorenz G. Straub, engi- neering consultant, Division of Waterways, Department of Conserva- tion, State of Minnesota. In addition to the foregoing, the following were also detailed for various periods during the year to membership on the Board: Col. D. O. Elliott, president; Col. John R. Hardin, division engineer, Great Lakes Division; Col. John S. Seybold, division engineer, South Pacific Division; Col. Walter D. Luplow, district engineer, Los Angeles, Calif.; Col. William C. Ready, acting resident member. During the fiscal year 1951, the Board carried out studies and in- vestigations in cooperation with appropriate agencies of various states and territories and with the field offices of the Corps of Engi- neers to develop efficient works for the protection and stabilization of the shores and beaches of coastal and lake waters. The Board com- pleted the review of cooperative beach erosion control reports on Lake Erie Shore from Vermilion to Sheffield Lake Village, Ohio; Pacific coast of California from Point Mugu to San Pedro Break- water; and State of Connecticut from New Haven Harbor to Housa- tonic River. The Board also completed 23 reports on the beach erosion aspects of navigation or flood control improvements as provided in section 5 of the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935. The following cooperative studies were in progress on June 30, 1951: The Board has continued general investigations of means of pro- tecting shores and beaches against erosion in accordance with the authoriaztion contained in the act approved July 31, 1945 (Public Law 166, 79th Cong.). Publication of the quarterly bulletin to dis- seminate rapidly pertinent information to the public was continued. Three technical articles prepared by the research staff were pub- lished in the technical press.

The equipping of the large wave tank and the coast model test basin adjacent to the Board office building was in progress. Three contracts with universities for research to supple- ment the staff activities were continued. At the end of the year, studies were in progress on: The char- acteristics of ocean waves by actual measurement at six selected loca- tions; the amount of beach sand placed in suspension by wave action; the relationship between wave dimensions, angularity of approach, and the resulting littoral current velocity; the improvement of wave- forecasting procedures for both inland and ocean waters. In addi- tion reports were in preparation on: The equilibrium profile of beaches under wave attack; scale effects in model studies involving wave action on beaches; and the shock pressures developed by waves breaking against vertical structures. CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION This Commission, consisting of three officers of the Corps of Engi- neers appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate, was created by the act of Congress approved March 1, 1893 (27 Stat. L., p. 507), was organized in San Francisco, Calif., on June 8, 1893, and has jurisdiction and duties extending over the drainage area of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, comprising the great. cen- tral 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 con- necting bays and straits and the Golden Gate. The duties prescribed by the act creating the Commission are: First: To regulate hydraulic mining in such a way as to permit its resumption and continuance under such restrictions as to prevent the resulting debris from being carried into navigable waters or otherwise causing damage. Second: To study and report upon general hydraulic and 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 protecting the banks of the rivers, and affording relief from flood damages. While the Commission was to "adopt" plans as a result of its study, the act creating it did not provide means for directly carrying them out. Congress, however, has from time to time adopted certain of the plans formulated by the Commission and charged it with their 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: President-Vacant, July 1, 1950 to November 27, 1950; Colonel John S. Seybold, November 28, 1950 to May 14, 1951; vacant, May 15, to June 30, 1951; Secretary- Vacant, July 1, 1950 to November 28, 1950; Colonel C. C. Haug, November 29, 1950 to June 30 1951; Member-Colonel Walter D. Luplow, July 1, 1950 to November 30, 1950; vacant, December 1, 1950 to February 25, 1951; Lieutenant Colonel William R. Shuler, February 26, 1951 to June 30, 1951. Colonel D. S. Burns, South Pacific Division Engineer, has been nominated president by Presi- dent Harry S. Truman. The nomination must be approved by the Senate. The secretary has immediate supervision of the work of the Commission. IMPROVEMENTS Navigation Page 1.

Operations are largely limited to the territory between Mount Lassen on the north and the Yosemite Valley on the south, on the western watershed of the Sierra Nevada. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheets for the area, 25 in number.) Existing project. This provides for regulating hydraulic-mining operations, planning the improvement of conditions upon the Sacra- mento and San Joaquin Rivers and their tributaries affected by such operations, and the preparation of plans to enable hydraulic mining to be resumed in their drainage areas. On application by prospec- tive miners, full investigation is made by the California Debris Commission, and permits to operate are issued to those who provide satisfactory debris-restraining basins by construction of suitable dams where necessary or use Government-constructed debris-restrain- ing reservoirs constructed under the act of June 19, 1934, as set forth below. The latest (July 1951) approved estimate of cost of this work, is $15,000 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.

Feb. 27, 1907 Authorized California Debris Commission to permit (Amendment of sec. 13 of act ap- hydraulics mining without construction of im- proved Mar. 1, 1893.) pounding works, provided there is no injury to the navigability of the above river systems or the lands adjacent thereto. June 19, 1934 1 Amended act of Mar. 1, 1893, which provides for con- (Amendment of sees. 18 and 23 of act struction of debris dams or other restraining works approved Mar. 1, 1893.) by the California Debris Commission and collec- tion of a 3 percent tax on the gross proceeds of each mine using such facilities, so as to eliminate this tax and substitute an annual tax per cubic yard mined, obtained by dividing the total capital cost of each dam, reservoir, and rights-of-way, by the total ca- pacity of the reservoir for restraint of debris; and authorized'revocation of Commission orders per- mittingfsuch mining, for failure to pay this annual tax within 30 days after its due date; and also°au- thorized receipt of money advances from mine owners to aid such construction, to be refunded later from the annual payments of yardage taxes on material mined. June 25, 1938 2 Added at the end of sec. 23 of above act, a provision (Further amendment of sec. 23 of act that the Secretary of the Army is authorized to approved Mar. 1, 1893.) enter into contracts to supply storage for water and use of outlet facilities from debris storage reservoirs for domestic and irrigation purposes and power development, upon such conditions of delivery, use and payment as he may approve; these payments are to be deposited to the credit of such reservoir project, reducing its capital cost to be repaid by tax on mining operations. 1Public, 425, 73d Cong. 2Public, 716, 75th Cong.

Mine owners are required to bear all expenses incurred in complying with the orders of the Commission for regula- tion of mining and restraint of debris. Operations and results during fiscal year. There were 58 hy- draulic mining inspections made. Cost of these inspections, regula- tion of hydraulic mining, issuance of licenses and other administra- tive work was $4,926.98 during the fiscal year for maintenance. Total expenditures were $4,419.73. Administrative work overlaps that of improvements 2, 3, and 4 hereunder and that of the Sacramento Engineer District. Condition at end of fiscal year. The Commission has received 1,279 applications for hydraulic mining licenses; 20 mines are li- censed, of which 9 use 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 Reser- voirs, 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 to date was $726,986.58 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $726,072.64. Proposed operations. The balance unexpended on June 30, 1951, amounting to $3,406.29, and an allotment of $5,500 made in August 1951, a total of $8,906.29, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1951 __________ ___ $913.94 Maintenance: Inspection of mining activities and sampling of debris content of streams by hired labor, during the fiscal ________________________$2,635.00 year ------------------------------------------ Administrative work in connection with mining activi- ties, license applications, and preparation of plans for improving navigability of streams and for flood control and debris regulation, by hired labor during the fiscal year --------------------------------- _________________ 5,357.35 Total --------------------------------------- ___ 7,992.35 Total for all work_ ------------------ ------- 8,906.29 The additional sum of $8,000 is needed to be appropriated for maintenance during the fiscal year 1953 in order to continue the work assigned the California Debris Commission and meet the needs of the State and general public, requiring consultation with the Commission under the provisions of this improvement.

The works are located on the Yuba River between Marysville and the place where the river emerges from the foothills, near Hammonton, some 10 miles easterly from Marysville, or about 9 miles below the Narrows. (See U. S. Geological Survey topo- graphic map of the Sacramento Valley, California.) Existing project. This provides for storage of mining debris with- in 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 pass- ing into the Sacramento and Feather Rivers to the detriment of navi- gation therein. The variation in water levels due to floods is about 12 feet. The total cost of new work was $723,259.02, of which $361,- 482.28 was from United States funds and $361,776.74 from funds contributed by the State of California. The latest (July 1951) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000 of which $15,000 is from local interests. (For details of this project in its original form see Annual Report, 1917, p. 1810 "Previous proj- ects.") 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 the 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, Cali- fornia.) Local cooperation. Requirements of local cooperation are being complied with, progressively with the work. The State of Cali- fornia contributes annually an amount equal to the Federal allot- ment. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: The floods of November-December 1950 caused great damage to the existing retard installations in the river between Marysville and Daguerre Point. A damage survey revealed that 30 retards were destroyed and 50 others extensively damaged. Plans and specifications were prepared to perform bank protection in lieu of retard construction at the most critical points. Total cost of maintenance, by hired labor, during the fiscal year was $5,114.13, of which $645.93 was a credit to United States funds and $5,760.06 was contributed funds. Total ex- penditures were $5,107.06, of which $653.00 was a credit to United States funds and $5,760.06 was from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1935. Three training walls, having a total length of 85,100 feet and providing two 500-foot wide channels, were built, partly by gold-dredging companies and partly by the United States. A cut was made through Daguerre Point and a concrete spillway con- structed therein. The channel between Marysville and the training walls was cleared of obstructions. Dikes were built to block off old sand channels. The result has been to hold in the Yuba River millions of cubic yards of mining debris which would otherwise have RIVERS AND HARBORS CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2409 passed into the navigable channels of Feather and Sacramento Rivers. The Yuba Consolidated Gold Fields was issued a Department of the Army permit in 1944 for dredging a 600-foot channel which would replace the two 500-foot channels above Daguerre Point Dam. The new channel will give almost a 90-degree approach for flows toward the crest of the dam. Extensive damages to agricultural property, commercial and in- dustrial installations, surburban residential property, roads, railroads, and public utilities were incurred within the flooded Yuba River area as a result of the November-December 1950 floods. A peak flow of about 113,000 cubic feet per second on November 21, 1950 breached the south training wall of the south channel above Daguerre Point Dam resulting in a flow of approximately 40,000 cubic feet per second through an area of about 3,000 acres of dredger pilings to partially flood the town of Hammonton and then on into Recla- mation District No. 784, causing a disastrous flooding of Olivehurst and outlying homes and farms. About 43,200 acres were flooded and damages totaled about $4,034,200.

S. ARMY, 1951 The additional sum of $30,000 (together with an equal contribu- tion from the State of California) is needed to be appropriated for the fiscal year 1953 on work to clear the channel between Marysville and Daguerre Point, 11 miles upstream, by removal of snags, brush, and trees; to repair and reinforce Daguerre Point Dam; and for bank protection on both banks from 2 to 11 miles above Marysville, by replacing current retards washed out during the 1950 flood with rock revetment and by repair of existing current retards; all by con- tract. The work is necessary to prevent debris entering Feather and Sacramento Rivers, which are navigable streams. The amount that can be profitably used for maintenance during the fiscal year 1953 is greater than the average annual cost during the preceding 5 years because of the extraordinary floods in Novem- ber and December 1950 which destroyed 30 current retards and severely damaged 50 more. The funds available for the work pro- gram during fiscal year 1952 provide sufficient funds to accomplish only the most urgent work. It is essential that the damaged and destroyed retards be restored for the preservation of stored hydraulic mine debris and to prevent erosion of banks with consequent move- ment of debris into the navigable channel of the Sacramento River. The maintenance program for retention of the mining debris that has been accomplished under the cooperative features of the project with the State of California will be jeopardized if the ravages of the 1950 floods are not corrected.

SACRAMENTO RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, CALIF. (DEBRIS CONTROL) Location. The project reservoirs are to be constructed in the watersheds of the Yuba, Bear, and American Rivers, California. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheets for the basin areas, seven in number.) Existing project. The project was designed to permit the resump- tion of hydraulic mining on a substantial scale and provides for the construction of four reservoirs at the following sites: (1) The Upper Narrows (Harry L. Englebright) site 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 latest (1950) approved estimated Federal costs for new work and for annual maintenance are $6,945,000 (based on 1935 price index) and $25,000, respectively. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 50, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). For latest published map see the project document. 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. Satisfactory assurances 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, no costs were incurred, and there were no expendi- tures for new work during the fiscal year. Maintenance: Operations during the fiscal year included miscel- laneous maintenance work at Harry L. Englebright Dam, construc- tion and repair of access roads at North Fork Dam, and provision of guard service for each dam; the preceding work was accomplished by hired labor. The outlet control gate was cleaned, sandblasted, and painted and a new cable was installed at the Harry L. Engle- bright Dam by contract in June 1951. Total cost for maintenance during the fiscal year was $13,044.11, and total expenditures were $13,218.94. 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 of 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 Harry L. Englebright Dam was completed in January 1941; the reservoir has been in use for storage of hydraulic- mining debris. Minor finishing work was completed under supple- mentary agreement; repairs to footings and abutments and improve- ments of grounds were completed in 1944. The dam is 260 feet high, 1,142 feet long, and the reservoir has a debris-storage capac- 2412 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 ity of 118,000,000 cubic yards. Work at the Ruck-A-Chucky Dam site on the Middle Fork of American River was stopped, settlement of the contract was completed, and field investigations were made and report rendered with a view to the selection of another site. Work was postponed on the Dog Bar site on Bear River due to liti- gation involving mining interests, and a review of the report in the project document was made, giving consideration to alternative lo- cations of the proposed dam. This review has been reassigned. Extensive damages were incurred from the storms and flood flows in the Yuba and American River basins during the period of Novem- ber-December 1950. However, Englebright and North Fork Dams, primarily mining-debris storage units not operated specifically for flood control, were full at the time the flood peaks were experienced along the rivers and had only minor effects on the flood. The total cost of the project was $5,291,374.99 for new work and $292,028.49 for maintenance, a total of $5,583,403.48. The total ex- penditures were $5,582,651.49. Proposed operations.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIF., FLOOD CONTROL Location. The works covered by this improvement are on the Sac- ramento River and tributaries in north central California from Col- linsville to Shasta Dam. 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 plan of improvement provides protection for the agricultural and urban areas of the Sacramento Valley by the enlargement and rectification of existing channels; the construc- tion of levees along existing waterways; the construction of leveed auxiliary bypass channels, together with the construction of four bypass weirs and the reconstruction of another, and construction of outfall gates at the mouth of Butte Slough, to relieve the natural waterways of flows beyond their capacity; the construction of in- tercepting channels, levees, pumping plants and drainage works to convey intercepted and interior drainage into the project water- ways; the stabilization of caving banks by the construction of bank protection works and levee set-backs; the clearing of bypass and natural flood channels to provide efficient flow characteristics and abridge low water channel meanders; and the construction of up- stream storage reservoirs. From the mouth of Sacramento River at Collinsville upstream to the mouth of Cache Slough (mile 14.3), the principal work is enlargement of the channel of the Sacramento River as required to carry the entire flood discharge of the river basin. Between the mouth of Cache Slough and Chico Landing on the Sacramento River (mile 193.1), and including all tributaries entering the main stream below this point, the principal works are leveed natural waterways in conjunction with weirs, outfall gates and leveed bypasses to carry surplus flows. From Chico Landing upstream to Red Bluff (mile 245.5), and on the lower portions of tributaries in this reach, the work consists of channel clearing, recti- fication, snagging and bank protection. Upstream storage reservoirs to regulate flows in the Sacramento River are provided at Black 2414 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARIVY, 1951 Butte Dam and Reservoir, westerly from Orland, Glenn County, on Stony Creek, a tributary entering the Sacramento River at mile 190.0; and at Table Mountain (Iron Canyon) Dam and Reservoir, a low level dam and reservoir with power facilities, northerly of Red Bluff on the Sacramento River, in Tehama and Shasta Counties. In addition, local improvements, chiefly levees, are provided on nine minor tributaries of the Sacramento River, and maintenance pend- ing completion of all works other than storage reservoirs is provided for the enlarged channel below the mouth of Cache Slough, includ- ing revetment of the banks of the cut. Construction of the neces- sary works of improvement for the protection of Upper Butte Basin is also provided for. The improvements enumerated above which were included in the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944; namely, construction and enlargement of levees along the Sacramento and Feather Rivers, in Butte Basin and in Sutter and Yolo Bypasses; for local improve- ments, chiefly levees, on nine minor tributaries of the Sacramento River; and for construction of the Black Butte and Table Mountain (Iron Canyon) Reservoirs; and for construction of the necessary works of improvement in the Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950, for the protection of the Upper Butte Basin, are reported under "Sacramento River and Tributaries, California, from Collinsville to Shasta Dam" by the Sacramento District, in the Annual Report for the Sacramento District, page 2167. The estimated (July 1950) Federal cost of the project, (exclu- sive of the improvements authorized by the Flood Control Acts of December 22, 1944 and May 17, 1950) including new work and maintenance is $55,635,000, 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. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of March 1, 1917 (H. Doc. 81, 62d Cong., 1st sess., as modified by Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 5, 63d Cong., 1st sess.), and modified by the Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928 (S.Doc. 23, 69th Cong., 1st sess.), the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (Senate Com- mittee print, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), and the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. 205, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation. The Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928, pro- vided that local interests were to contribute one-half the cost of 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 Har- bor Act of August 26, 1937, provided that the State of California should execute and maintain the remainder of the general flood-con- trol project, now being done or to be done by the United States, and make illegal any levee, ditches, or other works in the bypasses or on the lands reserved for overflow that might reduce or impede the flood run-off, unless approved by the California Debris Commission; should hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction works, and provided further, that the bank revetment for protection of levees above Cache Slough, and the levee reconstruc- FLOOD CONTROL-CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2415 tion 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 without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way for said works, including the cost of all alterations to highways, road crossings, and drainage and irri- gation facilities incident to the work, and shall have contributed one-third of the cost of bank revetment and levee reconstruction, with the understanding that the contribution of funds will be made as required by the progress of the work; and the State of Cali- fornia was to undertake the operation of the movable top of Sacra- mento Weir in accordance with the schedules established by the California Debris Commission. The modification of the project authorized in the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941, relieves local interests of all future con- struction costs under the existing project, but requires them to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will (a) provide all needed lands, easements, and rights-of-way free of cost to the United States, (b) bear the expense of necessary high- way, railroad, and bridge alterations, (c) hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from construction of the works, and (d) maintain and operate all flood-control works after completion, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secre- tary of the Army. The requirements are being complied with as needed. Operations and results during fiscal year.

Outfall gates at Knights Landing were constructed in 1930, and at the mouth of Butte Slough in 1936. Pumping plants on Sutter Bypass were completed in 1944. Work items with reference to the clearing, snagging, rectification of channels, and bank protection on Sacramento River and tributaries in Tehama County and from Red Bluff southerly, provided for by Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941, were accomplished in fiscal years 1947, 1948, 1949, and 1951. The total cost of this work was $126,355.24, of which $30,143.52 was by contract and $96,211.72 by hired labor. Work remaining to be done includes completion of levees (along Sacramento, American, Feather and Yuba Rivers, and the adjoining bypasses and tributaries), bank protection, and clearing overflow channels and bypasses; clearing, snagging and rectification of chan- nels on Sacramento River and tributaries in Tehama County and from Red Bluff southerly; and dredging of the enlarged flood chan- nel below Cache Slough, with continued maintenance dredging until that part of the project below Cache Slough is completed. The Sacramento River was confined between its levees and all weirs, project floodways, and natural storage basins were in opera- tion at the time of the November-December 1950 floods and provided adequate protection, particularly in the vicinity of Sacramento and North Sacramento. The flooding occurred entirely within floodways of the project, flood damages were nominal, and it is estimated that the entire Sacramento River Flood Control Project prevented dam- ages of about $75,000,000 during the flood period, based upon the present development in the area. The total cost of the existing project was as follows: Funds New work Maintenance Total United States funds: Regular appro- priations_ _---- ___ $37, 278, 548.45 $1, 972, 955.58 1 $39, 251, 504.03 Public Works funds____ ___ 1, 486, 469.12 _ _ 1, 486, 469.12 Total United States funds .... 38, 765, 017.57 1, 972, 955.58 40, 737, 973.15 Contributed funds, project work .... 4, 939, 751.97 9, 685.58 4, 949, 437.55 Total funds, project work ---- 43, 704, 769.54 1, 982, 641.16 45, 687, 410.70 Contributed funds, (nonproject) . . 1, 879, 417.43 _ 1,879, 417.43 Total all funds_ 45, 584, 186.97 1, 982, 641.16 1 47, 566, 828.13 1 Includes $429,671.29 representing adjustment of costs between previous and existing projects for book value of plant purchased.

Mississippi River Commission Build- ing, Vicksburg, Miss., P. O. Box 80. Commissioners. The commissioners during the fiscal year were Brig. Gen. P. A. Feringa, Corps of Engineers, president; Col. Ernest Graves, Corps of Engineers, retired; Rear Adm. Leo O. Colbert, United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, retired; Albert L. Cul- bertson; DeWitt L. Pyburn, civil engineer; Brig. Gen. Don G. Shingler, Corps of Engineers; and Eugene F. Salisbury, civil engi- neer, since August 21, 1950. 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 Engi- neers, 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 improvements in the interest of navigation between Cairo, Ill. (mile 966), and Baton Rouge, La. (mile 230). It also is charged with prosecution of certain flood- control works on the Mississippi River and on tributaries so far as they are affected by backwater, between Cape Girardeau and Rock Island, Ill. (mile 1,446); more specifically charged with control of headwater floods of the St. Francis and Yazoo Basins including L'Anguille River and Yazoo tributaries, respectively; protection of portions of the backwater areas near the mouths of the White, the Yazoo, and the Red. Rivers, and with improvements of Bayous Ra- pides, Boeuf, and Cocodrie, La., Boeuf and Tensas Rivers, Bayou Macon and Bayou Lafourche, La., and Ark., and West Tennessee tributaries. Backwater limits on tributary streams are considered to be located where backwater curves from the maximum Mississippi River flood intersect maximum flood flow lines of tributaries. Location and description. The Mississippi River rises in Lake Itasca, Minn., flows in a general southerly direction for 2,350 miles, and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Its drainage area, about 1,245,- 000 square miles, embraces all or part of 31 States between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains and parts of 2 Canadian Provinces. Its alluvial valley, some 30,000 square miles in extent, includes for- mer overflow areas designated as the St. Francis, White, Tensas, Atchafalaya, and Lafourche Basins west of the river and the Yazoo and Pontchartrain Basins east of the river. Observations made by the Mississippi River Commission to June 30, 1949, show approxi- mate maximum and minimum discharges between the levees as fol- lows: Cairo to White River 2,000,000 and 70,000 cubic feet per sec- 2423 2424 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 ond; 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 sec- ond in the Mississippi 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 oc- curred 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. One officer has been assigned for duty in the office of the President of the Commission-as Secretary of the Commission. Field operations of the Commission below Cape Girardeau are conducted by three engineer districts with limits as follows: New Orleans district: Mississippi River, Head of Passes (mile 0) to vicinity of Black Hawk, La. (mile 320), including Lake Pont- chartrain front, Jefferson Parish, and Amite River, La., vicinity mile 63; Atchafalaya Basin; south bank of Red River upstream to Boyce, La., thence along Bayou Jean de Jean to Hotwells, La.; Bayous Rapides, Boeuf and Cocodrie, and Bayou des Glaises; north bank of Red River to Alexandria, La. (backwater limit), except that portion between Bayou Cocodrie and Black River. Col. Charles G. Holle, Corps of Engineers, district engineer. Vicksburg district: Mississippi River from the south end of Shaw enlargement at levee station 7,510 (mile 318) on the right bank 275 miles to a point opposite mile 593, and on the left bank from and including the Buffalo River watershed (mile 310) to the Coahoma- Bolivar County line (mile 615) -maintenance of project navigation channel in Mississippi River extends from mile 320 to mile 593; Vicksburg-Yazoo area; Black and Ouachita River to backwater limit (vicinity of lock and dam 8); Red River backwater levee; Boeuf and Tensas Rivers and Bayou Macon in Louisiana and Ar- kansas; Bayou Lafourche in Louisiana; Arkansas River to three miles upstream from Pine Bluff; and the Yazoo River and Basin, Miss. (including Big Sunflower River and tributaries, and Steele Bayou); Grand Prairie Region and Bayou Meto Basin, north of Arkansas River. Col. B. C. Fowlkes, Jr., Corps of Engineers, dis- trict engineer to November 1, 1950; Lt. Col. G. F. Dixon, Jr., Corps of Engineers, acting district engineer from that date to May 8, 1951, and district engineer since that date. Memphis district: Mississippi River 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), MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2425 395 miles, on the left bank, with operations above Cairo 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 Gov- ernment reservation near West Memphis, Ark., opposite Memphis, Tenn. Col. L. H. Foote, Corps of Engineers, district engineer. Field operations of the Commission above Cape Girardeau, re- stricted to levee construction under section 6 of the 1928 Flood Con- trol Act (local interests contributing one-third of costs and furnish- ing rights-of-way), are conducted by two districts of the Upper Mississippi Valley Division which report direct to the Commission on matters within its jurisdiction. District limits are as follows: St. Louis district: Mississippi River 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 Mis- souri River to St. Charles, Mo. (backwater limits), for flood-control operations. Col. B. C. Snow, Corps of Engineers, district engineer to January 29, 1951; and Major E. B. Campbell, Corps of Engi- neers, acting from that date. Work on the Illinois River between New La Grange Lock and Dam and Havana is done by the Chicago engineer district. Rock Island district: Mississippi River from upper limits of St. Louis district, to Rock Island, mile 484 above Cairo. Col. G. A. Finley, Corps of Engineers, district engineer. PREVIOUS PROJECTS The project outlined in a report by the Commission dated Febru- ary 17, 1880, contemplated improvement of the channel to secure a least depth of 10 feet at extreme low-water by contraction of the low-water channel, protection of banks against caving, and control of flood-water by levees. For further details see page 1944, Annual Report for 1932, and page 1682, Annual Report for 1937. EXISTING PROJECT This provides for protection of the alluvial valley of the Missis- sippi, Head of Passes to Cape Girardeau, from floods by means of levees, floodwalls, floodways, reservoirs (in the St. Francis and Yazoo Basins), bank stabilization and channel improvements in and along the river and its tributaries and outlets insofar as affected by backwater of the Mississippi River and for levee work between Cape Girardeau and Rock Island. The project also provides for bank protection, channel improvement, contraction works and dredging to secure a navigable channel 12 feet deep and 300 feet wide from Baton Rouge to Cairo. Improvements completed under previous project and incorporated in the project are maintained in accord- ance therewith. The total authorized cost, including the modifica- tions authorized by the act of May 17, 1950, is $1,292,748,500, in- cluding maintenance charges through August 18, 1941. The esti- mated cost of annual maintenance is $15,000,000. Table A lists major Mississippi River improvements included in the existing project; table B lists those on tributaries and outlets; and table C contains data pertinent to dams and reservoirs. 2426 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Commission activities: The two hundred thirty-sixth session of the Commission was held on board the U. S. Steamer Mississippi en route from Cairo, Ill., to Baton Rouge, La., October 9-14, 1950. The two hundred thirty-sev- enth session was also held on board the U. S. Steamer Mississippi, en route from Cape Girardeau, Mo., to New Orleans, La., April 30- May. 9, 1951. On the river trips, major features of the project were inspected and public hearings were held at which representatives of local government agencies, navigation, levee, commercial, and other interests presented problems pertaining to flood control and navi- gation. At the two hundred thirty-seventh session an inspection was made through Atchafalaya River Basin from junction of Old and Mississippi Rivers via Atchafalaya River to Morgan City, La., thence to New Orleans, La., via the Gulf Intracoastal waterway. In addition, certain members of the Commission, together with Maj. Gen. H. B. Ferguson, U. S. Army, retired, former President of the Mississippi River Commission, made an inspection trip from Vicks- burg, Miss., to New Orleans, La., via the Atchafalaya River and the Gulf Intracoastal waterway on May 23-26, 1951 in connection with the geological and engineering study of the Atchafalaya River. In addition to the inspection trips via steamer, members of the Commission inspected major flood-control and navigation improve- ments under the jurisdiction of the Commission and reviewed and :acted on two reports, namely : "Review of Reports on Atchafalaya River, Morgan City to Mississippi River via Old River, La." and "Preliminary Examination Report on Flood Protection in New Madrid Floodway, Mo." The president, Mississippi River Commission, and his engineer- ing assistants made periodic inspections of flood-control, naviga- MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2433 tion, and related works under the existing project along the Mis- sissippi River and tributaries in the alluvial valley from Cairo to the Gulf of Mexico. No major floods occurred during the fiscal year but through the combined efforts of local authorities and depart- mental personnel, close contact with minor flood situations was maintained and operations were carried out efficiently. " Surveys, gages, and observations: (See p. 1961, Annual Report for 1932.) Routine hydrographic surveys of the river between Head of Passes and Cairo, construction and special surveys and inspections were made as required. Gages were maintained and dis- charge observations made. Results thereof are presented in detail in annual pamphlets issued by the Mississippi River Commission. Alluvial valley mapping: Preparation and publication of con- toured maps of the valley (scale 1 : 62,500) were continued. In the Memphis district, new Collierville and remapped Modoc quadrangle maps were published; ten new and remapped qua- drangles were completed-Holly Springs, Latour, Indian Bay, Hen- rico, Farrell, Park Place, Edmondson, New Madrid, Reelfoot Lake, and Blytheville; seven new and remapped quadrangles are in the process of reproduction-Mason, Hales Point, Osceola, Jericho, Memphis, Mellwood, and DeWitt; and a contract has been awarded for the compilation of new planimetry on twelve quadrangles lo- cated in the White and St. Francis River Basins. Three addi- tional quadrangles are about 90 percent complete and compilation of five others has been started. In the Vicksburg district, a new Potts Camp quadrangle map was published and the Mileston quadrangle is in the process of repro- duction. Preparation of six other quadrangle maps is underway. In the New Orleans district the compilation of the Hahnville quadrangle map, scale 1:48,000, was completed. Work is in progress on revising ten existing quadrangle maps-Fordoche, Odenburg, Osca Bayou, Batchelor, Morgan City, Arnaudville, Bonnet Carre, St. Bernard, Belle Isle, and Jeanerette. Costs incurred for surveys, gages, and observations and for allu- vial 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 35,138,110 cubic yards of material was dredged in the Mississippi River in the three districts. In addition to dredging, channel patrols were made; navigation notices issued; navigation aids maintained; snags, wrecks, and obstructions re- moved; liaison contact pilot service with commercial navigation was maintained; channel conditions were broadcast by radio; and veloc- ity data were furnished at troublesome reaches. Dredging by dis- tricts was as follows: New Orleans district--Channel maintenance: No channel main- tenance dredging was required. Vicksburg district: a. Channel maintenance. One Government- owned dustpan dredge and one pump barge and two leased cutter- head dredges were operated at 13 locations from mile 380 AHP to mile 557 AHP, moving 6,222,493 cubic yards of material. Minimum depth of 9 feet was maintained. 2434 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 b. Miscellaneous dredging: One leased cutterhead dredge placed 180,651 cubic yards of material in the Greenville Casting Plant fill. One Government-owned pump barge placed 984,913 cubic yards of material in a hydraulic fill for revetment construction on the Mis- sissippi River at Kempe Bend (mile 379 AHP). Memphis district: a. Channel maintenance. Four Government- owned dustpan dredges and two leased cutterhead dredges were op- erated at 33 locations from mile 610 AHP to mile 925 AHP, moving a total of 23,099,977 cubic yards of material. One Government- owned pump barge was operated at two locations removing 3,800 linear feet of pile dikes. Minimum depth of 9 feet was maintained, except for one day, October 29, 1950, at Dean Island (mile 759 AHP) when controlling depth was 8.5 feet. b. Improvement dredging: One Government-owned dustpan dredge and one leased cutterhead dredge at Bauxippi-Wyanoke Bend (mile 727 AHP) removed 4,650,076 cubic yards of material enlarg- ing constricted channel. Costs for dredging during the fiscal year are given in table F. Bank protection: Revetment work accomplished during the fiscal year is shown, by districts, in tables D-1 through D-3. See table F for costs of the work. Levees: Levee construction, accomplished in accordance with sections 1 and 6 of the Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928, as amended, and section 9 of the act of June 15, 1936, as amended, is shown by districts and localities in tables E-1 through E-5. Main-line levee work included restoration and enlargement of levees to project grade and cross section. In the New Orleans dis- trict, levee work also included installation of levee wavewash pro- tection works, consisting of asphalt and concrete slope paving, con- struction of brush dikes, and maintenance of timber structures lo- cally known as "wooden revetments." Status of this latter work is given in table E-6. Costs for levee work during the fiscal year are given in table F. Floodways and outlets-New Orleans district. a. Atchafalaya floodway, Louisiana. Construction of the high-level railroad cross- ing over the West Atchafalaya floodway from Krotz Springs to Courtableau, in progress under a reimbursable contract with the New Orleans, Texas & Mexico Railway Company, is about 36 percent complete, with status of its features as follows: Construction of the first lift embankment section was commenced July 18, 1949, and com- pleted October 28, 1950. Construction of the embankment to widen the existing subgrade for the approaches to the Krotz Springs bridge was started January 1, 1951, and is about 24 percent com- plete. Another agreement, with the Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Co. for relocation of communication facilities interfering with construction of this high-level railroad crossing over the West Atchafalaya guide levee near Bayou Courtableau, has been for- warded to the Chief of Engineers for approval. Under a reimbursable agreement, the Texas & Pacific Railway Co. commenced modification of their bridge at Melville in October 1950. The work is about 42 percent complete. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2435 The necessary rearrangement of power and communication utili- ties over the floodway was continued. At Bayou Sorrel lock, the tender's house, office, powerhouse, utili- ties, and appurtenances were completed December 29, 1950, and con- struction of the timber guide walls was commenced on July 26, 1950, and is complete except for a small amount of work on the lower por- tion of the south guide wall, where the present high water level pre- vents completion. The lock was placed in operation on June 4, 1951. It permits through traffic on the Plaquemine-Morgan City link of the Intracoastal waterway during times of high water in the floodway. At Berwick lock, construction of timber guide walls was initi- ated June 20, 1951, and work was approximately 40 percent com- plete at the end of the fiscal year. The lock was opened to naviga- tion on November 6, 1950, following excavation of approach chan- nels and forebay by leased dredge. At Calumet floodgates, excavation of the west approach chan- nel was accomplished between May 24 and July 12, 1950; excava- tion of the east approach channel was accomplished between June 23 and September 22, 1950, thus completing all work in connection with construction of East and West Calumet floodgates. Hired labor forces started constructing a bridge at Charenton floodgate on January 18, 1951, and completed all work on March 13, 1951. This bridge provides access to the West Atchafalaya protec- tion levee in the vicinity for flood-fighting inspection and opera- tions. Levee enlargement is in progress on the east and west protection levee systems. On the west protection levee system 6 miles of levees, new and enlargement, were constructed; on the east protection system approx- imately 23 miles of levee were enlarged, and on levees south and east of Morgan City, La., approximately 6 miles of levee were con- structed, of which 0.5 mile was built to approved grade and section. The acquisition of flowage easements in the West Atchafalaya floodway (including extension of the floodway) is complete, except for processing Department of Justice requirements in connection with condemnation cases. In the Atchafalaya floodway below the latitude of Krotz Springs, acquisition of flowage easements for the project, "Bayou Chene and vicinity," is complete, except for process- ing Department of Justice requirements in condemnation cases. Ac- quisition of flowage easements for the project, "Morgan City Front," is 98 percent complete; acquisition of the remaining 2 percent will be completed by condemnation. Acquisition of flowage easements in connection with the project, "Lands below the latitude of Krotz Springs," is approximately 21 percent complete. Acquisition of all lands required for the Bayou Sorrel lock and the East and West Calumet floodgates is complete. b. Morganza floodway, Louisiana. The high-level crossing for the Texas and Pacific Railway's main line over the floodway between McKneely and Red Cross was completed, except deferred construc- tion; the embankment section was completed in August 1950, and the trestle section on February 22, 1951. 2436 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 On May 12, 1951, the State of Louisiana, Department of High- ways, started replacing flexible pavement with permanent surfac- ing at the approach embankment of U. S. Highway No. 190, located between Lottie and Krotz Springs. This high-level crossing is com- plete except for the surfacing now in progress. Construction of the combined high-level crossing for State High- way No. 30, the Texas and Pacific Port Allen branch line, and a control structure is in progress, with the following work accom- plished: Approximately 2,234,011 cubic yards, or 80 percent of the first phase embankment, has been placed and construction of the second phase embankment was started June 18, 1951. Work under contract for excavation and precast concrete piling for gated portion which commenced June 1, 1950 was 94 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. Pile casting was completed June 28, 1951 and pile driving is approximately 87 percent com- plete. Construction of the superstructure of the gated portion was started October 2, 1950 and the work is 10 percent complete; pour- ing concrete in base slab and weir, in keywall, stilling basin, and piers, is in progress. Supply contracts were awarded for manufac- turing and delivering vertical lift gates and for gantry cranes, and work has started on both contracts. A contract was awarded June 11, 1951 for riprap and derrick stone protection for the gated por- tion, but work has not started. Bids were opened June 26, 1951 for Morganza floodway upper guide levee enlargement from the Mississippi River to the combined control structure crossing. Award of contract to the low bidder is pending. Adjustment of telephone facilities between McKneely and Red Cross was completed on January 10, 1951 and relocation of other utilities continued. Operations in connection with removal and reburial of bodies from three cemeteries in the floodway were completed November 13, 1950 by contract. Acquisition of comprehensive easements over the old cemetery sites is complete. Acquisition of the new cemetery sites is complete, and title to these lands has been conveyed by the con- tractor to the church organizations involved. (Activities in con- nection with processing final papers on cemetery relocations are 75 percent complete.) Preparation of necessary exchange agreements and conveyances for the consummation of the various obligations under relocation agreements involving highways, railroads, telephone and telegraph lines, and other utilities is being undertaken. The right of way re- quired for the control structure is available. Acquisition of com- prehensive easements over lands in this project is complete (except for activities necessary for processing Department of Justice re- quirements in connection with condemnation cases). c. Wax Lake Outlet and Charenton drainage and navigation canal, La. Modification of the New Iberia & Northern Railroad bridge over the Bayou Teche section of the Charenton drainage canal, and placing of 359 tons of riprap and 207 cubic yards of filter blanket in the channel in the vicinity of the bridge, were accomplished by contract to restore the bridge to its original condition and prevent MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2437 further damage by scour in that area. Acquisition of comprehen- sive easements over all lands required in connection with. the Wax Lake Outlet and Charenton drainage and navigation canal is com- plete (except for real estate activities in connection with the process- ing of final papers covering relocation contracts for railroads, high- ways, and utilities, such as power lines, pipe lines, etc.) d. Bonnet Carre spillway, Louisiana. (See pp. 2089-2091, Annual Report for 1938.) Flood stages did not necessitate operation of the spillway. Maintenance of the guide levees and the spillway struc- ture was continued. Other maintenance work to improve flowage consisted of dredging by leased dredge, 1,199,405 cubic yards from the forebay of the weir structure and clearing by hired labor, 288 acres of complete clearing and 298 acres of French clearing. Basin improvements: a. Atchafalaya River, La.

St. Francis Basin, Ark., and Mo.-Wappa- pello Reservoir. (See table C.) The facility was maintained in oper- ating condition and malaria-control operations were continued. Leasing of reservoir lands was continued and a patrol of the leased property was maintained. The fish and wildlife conservation pro- gram conducted jointly with the Missouri Conservation Commission was continued. A timber management program to be conducted with the advice and assistance of the Forest Service was initiated. It is estimated that there were 150,000 mandays of use of recrea- tional facilities in the Wappapello Reservoir area. The reservoir was nominally empty of flood storage at the beginning and end of the fiscal year and the water level was controlled in so far as possible in accordance with the malaria-control program. Maximum water surface elevation during the year was 368.95 feet on February 22, with a net flood storage of 127,000 acre-feet. Peak inflow into the reservoir was 25,800 cubic feet per second on February 21.

The project as a whole is approximately 29 percent complete. d. Levees. (See table E-3.) e. Structures. Work was continued on the St. Johns Bayou flood- gate and the Hiclkmnan floodwall. The Cairo floodwall was com- pleted and turned over to local interests for maintenance and opera- tion. Costs for work accomplished on floodways, outlets, and basin im- provements are given in table F. Floods-Memphis district: Rains occurring over the upper Mis- sissippi River and Ohio River Basins during January and February 1951 resulted in a Mississippi River crest stage of 49.0 feet on the Cairo gage on February 26, 1951, with a corresponding maximum discharge of about 1,176,000 cubic feet per second. Confined floods occurred in the St. Francis River Basin during February 1951, and on the White River during February and March 1951. A maximum stage of 24.7 feet occurred at Georgetown, Ark., on February 28 to March 2, 1951, and a maximum stage of 21.1 at St. Francis Town, Ark., on 25 February 1951. Vicksburg district: Stages on the Mississippi River in this dis- trict were not high. Crest stages, lowest since 1942, ranged from about 10 feet below flood stage at Arkansas City to about 5 feet below flood stage at Natchez. Stages were moderate on the Ouachita River and minor floods occurred in January, February, March, and July. In the Yazoo Basin floods occurred in January, February, and April. Stages of 29.4 at Swan Lake on Tallahatchie River and 36.9 at Greenwood on the Yazoo River caused considerable flooding. It is estimated that completed flood control works in the basin re- duced stages about 21/2 feet on the Tallahatchie River and 2 feet at Greenwood on the Yazoo River. New Orleans district: Although no floods on the Mississippi River were experienced in this district, stages at Carrollton were 12.0 feet or higher for 115 days. The highest stage at Carrollton (flood stage 17.0) was 15.8 and Red River Landing (flood stage 45.0) was 42.6. On the Red River at Alexandria (flood stage 32.0) the highest stage recorded was 28.6, with corresponding stage in the Atchafalaya Basin. Melville (flood stage 37.0) reached a stage of 36.5. Condition at end of fiscal year. Survey of the entire river below Cairo, Illinois was completed in 1938 and resurvey is now under- way. Contoured quadrangles, general maps of the valley, and pamphlets tabulating river stages, discharge measurements, etc., have been published and are available for departmental use and public distribution under prescribed regulations. Navigation and flood- control improvements completed under the existing project com- prise levees, bank protection works, channel improvements (includ- MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2443 ing cut-offs), floodways, outlets, and tributary basin improvements, summarized as follows: There are 2,779.5 miles of project levees, with earth work aggre- gating about 1,310,062,000 cubic yards, below Cape Girardeau and 577 miles, with earth work aggregating 140,229,000 cubic yards, above Cape Girardeau, as listed in tables E-1 through E-4. Roads have been constructed on 21 miles of levees in the New Orleans district, on 94 miles in the Vicksburg district, including 38 miles which constitute a portion of Louisiana State Highway No. 49, and on 358 miles in the Memphis district. In the New Orleans district, about 38 miles of levees on the right bank and 15 miles on the left bank are protected against wave wash by timber structures, and about 43 miles of levees on the right bank and 28 miles on the left bank are protected by pavement on the riverside levee slope. There are in place 214.79 miles of operative bank revetments on the Mississippi River and about 7.16 miles on the Arkansas, Red, and Ohio Rivers as listed in tables D-1 through D-3. A channel 9 feet by 30 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 depts 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, "Missississippi 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 accomplished by improvement dredging to increase the flood-carrying capacity of the river now form part of the main river channel. These improvements, which include 16 completed cut-offs, have reduced the distance from Baton Rouge to Cairo to 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 Re- port of Chief of Engineers for 1943. Continuous levee systems, except at certain railroad and highway crossings, extend along the east and west limits of the Atchafalaya floodway. The east system is being extended south of Morgan City by construction of levees on Avoca Island. The west system has been extended below Berwick by construction of levees along the north bank of the Intracoastal waterway to the east levee of Wax Lake Outlet, and from west levee of Wax Lake Outlet along the north bank of the Intracoastal waterway to Bayou Sale, along the east and west banks of Bayou Sale below the Intracoastal water- way, and above the Intracoastal waterway along Teche Ridge to the Charenton drainage and navigation canal. For status of these levees see table E-1, 2444 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 Floodway and basin improvements, other than levees, completed prior to 1943 are as described on pages 1884 and 1885 of the An- nual Report of the Chief of Engineers for 1943. Improvements completed since then include: In the Atchafalaya floodway: A drainage structure at Brushy Bayou in the Simmesport ring levee; floodwalls at Morgan City and Berwick; a lock in the vicinity of Berwick (except the guide walls, on which construction is in progress), with approach chan- nels, which was opened to navigation on November 6, 1950; flood- gates at Charenton, and at Calumet on the east and west sides of Wax Lake Outlet; a channel 9 by 100 feet from Bayou Boeuf to Bayou Long which reestablishes drainage east of the floodway and which forms a part of the alternate route for the Gulf Intracoastal waterway; Bayou Sorrel lock (except for a small amount of work on the lower portion of the south guide wall), which was placed in operation on June 4, 1951, and which provides access through the East Atchafalaya protection levee via the Plaquemine-Morgan City link of the Intracoastal waterway, permitting through traffic dur- ing times of high water in the floodway; enlargement of the Charen- ton drainage and navigation canal to a 75-foot bottom width at -30 feet mean sea level, which serves as a navigation connection with Grand Lake via the Charenton floodgate, as well as a drainage out- let; and construction of a bridge at Charenton floodgate which pro- vides access to the West Atchafalaya protection levee in the vicinity. Construction of high-level crossings for railroads and relocation of communication lines over the floodway are in progress. The Ville Platte-Opelousas and Ville Platte-Bunkie connections of the Texas & Pacific Railway Company were completed in February 1950. Be- tween Courtableau and Krotz Springs, over the West Atchafalaya floodway, construction of the New Orleans, Texas and Mexico Rail- way .Company's high-level crossing is about 36 percent complete, and surveys and borings have been completed along the alignment for the proposed high-level crossing of United States Highway No. 190, and negotiations are being conducted with the State of Louisiana, Department of Highways, for an agreement covering the design and construction of the crossing. The Texas & Pacific Railway Com- pany commenced modification of their bridge at Melville in October, 1950 and the alterations are about 42 percent complete. The Atchafalaya Basin floodway, as a whole, is approximately 66 percent complete. In the Morganza floodway, high-level crossings between Lottie and Krotz Springs to carry the New Orleans, Texas & Mexico Railway and U. S. Highway No. 190 over the floodway have been completed, except for deferred construction. On U. S. Highway No. 190, de- ferred construction consisting of replacing flexible pavement with permanent surfacing at the approach embankment is in progress. The high-level crossing between McKneely and Red Cross for the Texas & Pacific Railway's main line was completed on February 22, 1951, except for deferred construction. At the upper end of the floodway, construction of the combined high-level crossing for State Highway No. 30, the Texas and Pacific Port Allen branch line, and MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2445 the Morganza control structure is approximately 31 percent com- plete. The railroad and highway approaches are partially complete; the remainder of the work will be coordinated with construction of the superstructure of the control structure. Work is in progress at the site of the control structure, as follows: The first phase embank- ment is about 80 percent complete and the second phase was started on June 18, 1951; excavation and precast concrete piling for the gated portion are about 94 percent complete; work has been initiated under two supply contracts for manufacture and delivery of vertical lift gates and gantry cranes; and a contract has been awarded for riprap and derrick stone protection for the gated portion.

In the Elk chute drainage district, 17 miles of levee are to project grade and section. The levees along Little River are 100 percent complete. Work on levees and drain- age improvements is in progress. Work was initiated on West Mem- phis drainage project. The Memphis Harbor project is approximately 29 percent com- plete. In the White River Basin area of the Memphis district, on the Augusta to Clarendon levee project, 32 miles of levee have been completed to project grade and section. The Clarendon levee is 100 percent complete. A contract for the enlargement of the DeValls Bluff project has been awarded but no work has been initiated. Work on St. Johns Bayou floodgate is about 63 percent complete and that on Hickman floodwall is about 59 percent complete. The Cairo floodwall was completed and turned over to local in- terests for maintenance and operation. 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.

Construction will be initiated on Dumaine Street floodwall in Orleans Parish, Bayou Boeuf lock, Ellerslie drainage structure, Maryland drainage structure, and several bridge alterations or reconstructions on Bayous Rapides, Boeuf, and Cocodrie. In the Vicksburg district, work will be continued on construc- tion of levees and appurtenant structures along Yazoo River, in- cluding the Greenwood protection works, 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 the Arkabutla, Enid, and Grenada Dams and re- location of railroads in the Grenada Reservoir will be continued. Planning for improvements in the Yazoo backwater area and in the Big Sunflower River, Miss., etc., project will be continued. Work will be continued on the Red River backwater levee. The Bayou Cocodrie drainage structure will be completed. Channel improve- ment will be continued on Bayou Lafourche, including the construc- tion of one permanent bridge, and the initiation of reconstruction of three bridges, and the relocation of one telephone and one power line; and on Big and Colewa Creek including reconstruction of six bridges, the rearrangement of six power lines and of a multiple gas pipeline crossing. Construction of the Jonesville flood-protec- tion project will be completed. The portion of the work on the Bawcomville flood-protection project being prosecuted under section 6 of the Flood Control Act approved May 15, 1928 will be completed by local interests with materials to be furnished by the Government. In the Memphis district, work will be continued on construction of levees, drainage channels, and structures in the St. Francis and White River Basins. On the Memphis Harbor project, Mississippi River, wave-wash protection work will be completed. Work will be continued on the hydraulic construction of the industrial embankment. Extension of MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2449 the sanitary sewer from the mouth of Nonconnah Creek to the Mis- sissippi River will be started. The Presidents Island revetment will be extended approximately 5,000 linear feet downstream. Preparation of reports called for by congressional or departmental directives will be continued. Surveys and observations pertinent to the existing project will be made and results published. Designs, plans, and specifications for authorized improvements will be de- veloped.

The Flood Control Act approved May 15, 1928, authorized the Chief of Engineers to establish a hy- draulic laboratory and provided for the annual allotment of necessary funds for the operation of the laboratory and for the necessary print- ing to publish the scientific data collected. This institution is the Waterways Experiment Station with installations at Vicksburg, Mis- sissippi, and Jackson, Mississippi. It was initially established in 1929, under the jurisdiction of the President, Mississippi River Com- mission. By General Order No. 9, Office, Chief of Engineers, 29 July 1949, the Station was transferred to the direct jurisdiction of the Chief of Engineers effective August 10, 1949. Col. H. J. Skidmore, Corps of Engineers, is Director. The organization comprises the Hydraulics, Soils and Concrete Re- search Divisions, a Research Center, and the necessary construction, administrative and service facilities for the conduct of experimental research and development and field exploration work. The Flexible Pavement Branch of the Soils Division conducts airfield investiga- tional and trafficability studies for the Office, Chief of Engineers and the Engineer Research and Development Laboratories, respec- tively. The Concrete and Soils Laboratories also serve as Division Laboratories for the Lower Mississippi Valley Division. The Mis- sissippi River Commission Field Printing Plant is located at and operated by the Station. The Experiment Station has as its functions the experimental in- vestigation of all problems in hydraulics, soil mechanics, concrete, and flexible pavements presented to the Station for study, as well as research and development work in those fields; technical supervision of hydraulic model testing at other Corps of Engineers hydraulic laboratories, including the Bonneville Hydraulic Laboratory, St. Anthony Falls Hydraulic Laboratory (St. Paul District), and the hydraulic laboratory of the Los Angeles District; model-prototype analysis in fields of hydraulics, soils and concrete; and technical supervision over hydraulic testing performed under contract with universities or other outside agencies for the Corps of Engineers. Work is performed on a reimbursable basis for other Corps of Engi- neers offices and also, with authority of the Chief of Engineers, for other Government agencies, private concerns, and foreign Govern- ments. The Experiment Station maintains close contact with the field in all experimental work, both by Station personnel visiting the prototype and by engineers from the field visiting the Station while model studies or other testing are in progress. The Waterways Experiment Station is also charged with the as- sembling of experimental engineering data from all sources, domestic and foreign, in the technical fields assigned to it; the translation 2475 2476 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 and interpretation of these data; and the dissemination thereof to other Corps of Engineers offices through its Research Center and comprehensive technical library. In execution of this function dur- ing Fiscal Year 1951, two quarterly summaries, 32 reports of indi- vidual studies, three bulletins, and five translations of foreign arti- cles were distributed to Corps of Engineers and pertinent outside agencies. Operations and results during fiscal year. All work accomplished at the Waterways Experiment Station is initially financed from a revolving fund, reimbursement therefor being obtained directly from agencies for whom the work is performed. The cost of operation of the Station for the 12 months ending June 30, 1951, amounted to $4,171,149, of which $3,535,931 was charged to establishments served for practical research investigations and related services, and $635,- 218 was spent for permanent improvements and miscellaneous operat- ing expenses. Of the reimbursable work $2,576,616 was charged to civil funds, $706,866 to military funds, and $252,449 to non-govern- mental agencies. The total cost incurred for operation of the Water- ways Experiment Station to June 30, 1951, amounted to $33,174,582, of which $25,373,964 was for reimbursable operations and $7,801,619 for the cost of permanent improvements and miscellaneous operating expenses. PERMANENT INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THE CONGRESSES OF NAVIGATION 1. By an act approved June 28, 1902, Congress appropriated the sum of $3,000 per year for the support and maintenance of the Per- manent International Commission of the Congresses of Navigation and for the payment of the actual expenses of the properly ac- credited national delegates of the United States to the meetings of the Congresses and of the Commission. An increase in this appropri- ation to $5,000 per year was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved June 30, 1948. Beginning with the fiscal year 1936, such expenses were paid by allotment from the general appropriation for the improvement and maintenance of river and harbor works. The object of the association is the promotion of inland and maritime navigation by means of organized congresses, and the publication of pertinent information. Its headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium, but the congresses are held in various countries upon invitation. 2. The association is supported principally by member nations, but the privileges of membership are also extended to corporations, libraries, and individuals. Governments are represented by delegates, the number of delegates being based on the amounts received an- nually 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 corpo- rate membership are available. The class paying the higher an- nual 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. 4 3. The general affairs of the association are managed by a Per- manent Commission with the assistance of the Permanent Council. The Commission is composed of delegates from the supporting gov- ernments, and the Council is chosen from the members of the Per- manent Commission, the representation in each case being according to the amount of the annual contribution. ;Y 4. During the fiscal year 1951 the United States was represented as follows: On the American Section of the Permanent Commission by Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, United States Army, Retired, chairman; Brig. Gen. Gordon R. Young, Corps of Engineers, United States Army; Mr. J. Spencer Smith of the State of New Jersey; Col.

Cole, Corps of Engineers, United States Army, since that date. Colonels Hannis and Cole served as Secretary of the American Sec- tion during the periods indicated above. On the American Section of the Permanent Council by General Fleming and Colonel Hall. 5. A meeting of the Commission was held in Brussels, Belgium, on June 5, 1951, when the United States was represented by Colonel L. E. Mielenz and Colonel Wallace H. Hastings, Corps of Engineers, United States Army. 6. The membership of the American Section on June 30, 1951, is 672. 7. An "Account of the XVIIth Congress-Lisbon 1949" and a semi-annual Bulletin, printed in English was distributed to the American members. 8. The expenditures during the year from the appropriation re- ferred to in paragraph 1 above amounted to $2,419.66, of which $1,500 was paid to the headquarters office at Brussels for the main- tenance of the Association, being the regular annual contribution for the year 1951. The balance of $919.66 was for the payment of 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, author- ized a further survey to bring the data up to date, as well as an investigation of additional facilities needed at the Panama Canal, to be made under the direction of the Secretary of War and super- vision of the Chief of Engineers, with the aid of such civilian en- gineers as the President deemed advisable. The President appointed the Interoceanic Canal Board to assist the Chief of Engineers. The Governor of the Panama Canal made the investigation at Panama, and a provisional battalion of United States engineer troops made the survey in Nicaragua. The report of the Chief of Engineers, together with the reports of the Interoceanic Canal Board, of the Governor of the Panama Canal, and of the officer in charge of the survey, was submitted on December 5, 1931, and published in House Document No. 139, Seventy-second Congress, first session. An officer and one 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 involved the operation within the watershed of Lake Nicaragua of a number of rainfall stations, also stations for collection of evaporation data, recording lake levels, 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 20, 1938, authorized the Secretary of War to continue the gathering of hydrological data in Nicaragua under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers as recom- mended in House Document No. 139, Seventy-second Congress, first session, and such incidental expenses as may be necessary in connec- tion therewith are to be paid from appropriations hereafter made for examinations, surveys, and contingencies of rivers and harbors. The expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1951, were $10,774.09, from appropriations made for examinations, surveys, and contingencies of rivers and harbors. It is estimated that $1.0,800 will be expended in continuing the operations during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1952. 2479 INVESTIGATIONS AND SUPERVISION OF PROJECTS UNDER THE FEDERAL WATER POWER ACT The Federal Water Power Act of June 10, 1920, created the Fed- eral Power Commission, composed of the Secretary of War, Secre- tary of the Interior, and Secretary of Agriculture, with authority to grant permits and licenses for hydroelectric developments in all waters over which Congress has jurisdiction. The act further re- quired that the work of the Commission be performed by and through the Department of War, Interior, and Agriculture, and their engi- neering, 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 pro- vided 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 nec- essary 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 affect- ing navigation have been approved by the Chief of Engineers and the Secretary of Army. There is further provision whereby any person or corporation intending to construct project works in any stream over which Congress has jurisdiction, other than navigable waters, shall file a declaration of intention for the purpose of ascer- taining whether or not the jurisdiction of the Federal Power Com- mission will attach. To July 1, 1941, the following work of an engineering nature had been referred to the Department of the Army by the Commission: 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 stream 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 following table: 2481 2482 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, .

J. D. Beard, 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 Secre- tary 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. MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2485 The laws relating to the supervision of New York Harbor are acts of Congress of June 29, 1888 (25 Stat. 209), amended by sec- tion 8 of act of May 28, 1908 (35 Stat. 424-426); act of Congress of August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. 360); act of Congress of May 28, 1908 (35 Stat. 426) ; act of Congress of February 16, 1909 (35 Stat. 623); and act of Congress of June 7, 1924 (Oil Pollution Act, 1924; 43 Stat. 604). Operations and results during fiscal year. Notices to acquaint navigation interests with the laws and regulations relating to the harbor were issued with a view to obtaining cooperation in their administration; dumping grounds for stone, ashes, mud, cellar dirt, sewerage sludge, and other refuse were designated; and 4,199 per- mits were issued for the removal of approximately 43,765,777 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 re- sulting from loading operations. The amounts of material reported to have been removed were con- stantly checked by the patrols.

CROIX RIVER BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties. The Board was organized pursuant to conditions in the orders of the International Joint Commission ap- proving the maintenance and operation of the dam built by the St. Croix Water Power Co. and the Sprague Falls Manufacturing Co., Ltd., across the St. Croix River at Grand Falls in the State of Maine, and subsequent agreements reached between the Governments of the United States and the Dominion of Canada. The Board is charged with the duty of formulating and adminis- tering rules under which the power plant and accessories are to be operated to prevent as nearly as possible a level of water at the dam higher than 203.5 (mean sea-level datum), and to secure to the users of water below Grand Falls the flow of water to which they are 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. 2488 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 On October 2, 1934, the International Joint Commission issued an order approving the reconstruction of the dam, owned by Cana- dian Cottons, Ltd., extending across the St. Croix River from Mill- town in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada, to Milltown in the State of Maine, United States of America, which contained the fol- lowing conditions: 1. That the reconstructed dam be so operated as to insure that the forebay levels rise to no higher elevation than that which has heretofore obtained in the operation of the dam now being replaced. 2. That during times of flood the sluiceways of the dam shall be sufficiently open to ensure passage of the river flow. 3. That the operation of the dam, insofar as is necessary to ensure the ob- servance of the provisions of this order, be under the supervision of the Inter- national St. Croix River Board of Control.

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 MISCELLANEOUS rm woKS CIVIL 2489 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 limited the authorized daily diversion by Canada to 36,000 cubic feet per second and by the United States to 20,000 cubic feet per second. By an exchange of notes between the Secretary of State and the Canadian Minister an additional diversion of 5,000 cubic feet per second for Canada was authorized October 14, 1940. Senate Execu- tive Report No. 8, Seventy-seventh Congress, first session, authorized June 12, 1941, for defense purposes, additional diversion of 3,000 cubic feet per second for Canada, and 5,000 cubic feet per second for the United States. A further exchange of notes authorized 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. An additional emergency diversion of 4,000 cubic feet per second for Canada was authorized by a further exchange of notes on May 3, 1944. On December 16, 1948, an exchange of notes provided for the continuation of the 4,000 cubic feet per second emergency diver- sion, authorized in the exchange of notes on May 3, 1944, and an increased Canadian diversion through the DeCew plant of 2,500 cubic feet per second during the nonnavigation season until April 15, 1951. The treaty of 1950 between Canada and the United States con- cerning uses of the waters of the Niagara River was signed on February 27, 1950. By its provisions, the limitations on use of diver- sion waters for power in accordance with article V of the treaty of 1909 are terminated, and temporary international agreements for the allocation of waters of the Niagara River for power purposes are replaced. Under terms of the new treaty, all waters in excess of certain minimum flows which are required to maintain the scenic spectacle at the Falls are available for diversions for power, to be allocated equally between both countries. Minimum flows over the Falls shall be not less than 100,000 cubic feet per second between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m., eastern standard time, from April 1 to September 15, and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from September 16, to October 31. At all other times, the flow over the Falls shall be not less than 50,000 cubic feet per second. The new treaty of 1950 became effective October 10, 1950. Members of the Board. The Board consists of two members, one representing the Dominion of Canada and one representing the United States. During the past year the Canadian representative was Mr. Norman Marr, chief hydraulic engineer, Dominion Water and Power Bureau, Ottawa. In letter to the Secretary of State dated February 26, 1944, the Secretary of the Army designated the district engineer, Buffalo, N. Y., as ex-officio United States member of the International Niagara Board of Control. Col. H. W. Schull, Jr. has been district engineer since August 11, 1950. Operations during the fiscal year. The Board received daily re- ports of operations of the six hydroelectric generating stations on the Niagara River, all of which divert water above the Falls. These 2490 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 reports, submitted in form prescribed by the Board showing for each hour the quantities of water diverted by each plant, were checked by the Board. Monthly and annual summaries were pre- pared. Weekly and intermittent inspections of all plants were made by representatives of the Board members, jointly and individually, to obtain independent watt-meter readings of power output and to as- sure that all provisions of the treaty were complied with. Records of water levels in the Niagara River above and below the Falls were obtained by means of four self-registering gages on the United States side. SPECIAL INTERNATIONAL NIAGARA BOARD In 1926 the Niagara Control Board was enlarged by the addition of two members-Dr. J. Horace McFarland being the additional United States member and Dr. Charles Camsell the additional Canadian member-for an extended investigation into the preserva- tion of the scenic beauty of the Falls and analysis of all factors relative thereto. The Enlarged Board was constituted into a Special International Niagara Board for the purpose of carrying on this investigation. On December 11, 1929, the Special International Ni- agara Board submitted its final report to the two Governments, with recommendations in regard to remedial works, additional diver- sions, etc. This report was printed as Senate Document No. 128, Seventy-first Congress, second session. On January 17, 1931, a large mass of rock forming a part of the crest of the American Falls collapsed and fell into the gorge. A supplementary report, which reviewed the basic findings of the Board as presented in its final report of December 11, 1929, and which discussed the relationship of the rock fall to these findings was prepared and submitted on November 10, 1931. This supplementary report confirmed the conclusions and recommendations made in the final report. This was the last investigation undertaken by the Spe- cial International Niagara Board. INTERNATIONAL MASSENA BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties. An order of the International Joint Com- mission issued after a hearing on the application of the St. Law- rence River Power Co. for permission to continue to maintain the submerged rock weir constructed by the company in the south Sault Channel of the St. Lawrence River, authorized the maintenance of the weir and, among other things, provided for a board of engineers to pass upon and control the new and old works involved. Members of the Board. The Canadian member of the Board for the fiscal year was Mr. Norman Marr, chief hydraulic engineer, Dominion Water and Power Bureau. In letter to the Secretary of State dated February 26, 1944, the Secretary of the Army designated the district engineer, Buffalo, N. Y., as ex-officio United States mem- ber of the International Massena Board of Control. Col. H. W. Schull, Jr. has been district engineer since August 11, 1950. MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2491 Operations during the fiscal. year. The Board kept in touch with conditions by means of inspections and with respect to the diversion by means of monthly reports of the power company, showing the amount of water diverted and powerhouse performance from day to day. The weir was inspected by a representative of the district engineer on September 20, 1950. INTERNATIONAL LAKE SUPERIOR BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties. The Board, organized in pursuance of orders issued by the International Joint Commission, May 26, 1914, is charged with the supervision of the operations of all compensating works and all power canals and appurtenances with a view to so controlling the outflow from Lake Superior as to 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 Lt. Col. John D. Bristor, Corps of Engineers, for the United States. Operations during the fiscal year. The Board kept in touch dur- ing 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. A joint inspection of the compensating works was made by the members of the Board on October 3, 1950. Changes in the rate of outflow from Lake Superior are directed as the need therefor is indicated by the water level records.. Throughout the year unusually large supplies reached the lake and, although the outflow was kept at maximum discharge rates, and the diversion into the lake reduced, its level reached an elevation slightly higher than 603.6 in August 1950. It appears (at the end of the present fiscal year) that the crest of the seasonal stage cycle may again approximate 603.6. On February 9, 1951, the Board submitted a special report to the International Joint Com- mission relative to a new rule curve for regulation of Lake Superior, which takes into account present conditions affecting regulation of the lake. The Commission considered the report at its April 3 meet- ing and took official note in its minutes of its satisfaction with the action of the Control Board with respect to the rule curve. LAKE OF THE WOODS WATERSHED The members of the International Lake of the Woods Control Board, the International Rainy Lake Board of Control, and of the International Prairie Portage Board of Control for the fiscal year were Mr. I. R. Strome, engineer, Dominion Water and Power Bu- reau, for Canada, and Col. David A. Morris, Corps of Engineers, for the United States. 2492 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1951 INTERNATIONAL LAKE OF THE WOODS CONTROL BOARD 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 estab- lishment and maintenance of an International Lake of the Woods Control Board, composed of two engineers, one representing the United States and the other representing Canada, to whose approval the rate of total discharge shall be subject whenever the elevation rises above elevation 1,061 or falls below elevation 1,056, sea-level datum. Operations during the fiscal year. Supervision was maintained and inspections were made to ensure that every effort was being made to comply with the provisions of the convention. INTERNATIONAL RAINY LAKE BOARD OF CONTROL The convention between the United States and Canada, ratified by the United States Senate August 30, 1940, provides, in part, that: The International Joint Commission * * * is hereby clothed with power to determine when emergency conditions exist in the Rainy Lake watershed, whether by reason of high or low water, and the Commission is hereby em- powered 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. On June 8, 1949, the Commission issued an order to the owners of the dams at the outlet of Namakan Lake and Rainy Lake, which provided for a method of regulation as recommended by the Rainy Lake Board of Control. The order provides for certain levels dur- ing the various seasons of the year as well as control of outflows, with the view to securing the most advantageous use of the water in total to the various interests. Operations during the fiscal year. Inspections were made, basic data compiled, and engineering reports were submitted to the Com- mission. INTERNATIONAL PRAIRIE POITAGE BOARD OF CONTROL The Prairie Portage Board of Control was formed by the Inter- national Joint Commission for the purpose of furnishing it with technical advice regarding the suitability of the dam structure at Prairie Portage, Lake County, Minn. After approval of the plans by the Department of the Army and the International Joint Com- mission, the Board has been retained to advise the Commission fur- ther regarding progress of construction and regarding any other matters which might arise concerning this project. MVISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2493 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. INTERNATIONAL KOOTENAY LAKE BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties. The Board was organized to secure compliance with the provisions of the orders of the International Joint Commission dated November 11, 1938, and August 5, 1949, re- lating to the construction and operation of control works in and adjacent to the channel of the Kootenay River and the regulation of the levels of Kootenay Lake in the Province of British Columbia. Members of the Board. The members of the Board for the fiscal year were Mr. H. T. Ramsden, Department of Mines and Resources, and Mr. W. C. Warren, Department of Resources and Development, for Canada, and Col. J. P. Buehler, Corps of Engineers, and Mr. T. R. Newell, United States Geological Survey, Department of In- terior, for the United States. Operations during the fiscal year. Two formal Board meetings were held in Canada during the year. Both of these meetings were concerned with the interpretation and application of the orders of November 11, 1938, and August 5, 1949, covering the regulation of Kootenay Lake. Monthly calculations were made for the Board in the Seattle district office to ensure compliance by the licensee with the terms of these two orders. The annual report of the Board was submitted to the Commission. INTERNATIONAL OSOYOOS LAKE BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties. A special board of engineers was consti- tuted to ensure compliance with the provisions of the order of the International Joint Commission, dated July 12, 1943, directing in- vestigation of high-water conditions on the Okanogan River and studies of the relationships between certain obstructions, complained of in an application by the State of Washington, and the levels of Osoyoos Lake. The Board was enlarged from two to four members by an order of the Commission dated September 12, 1946. Members of the Board. The members of the Board for the fiscal year were Mr. K. W. Morton, Department of Public Works, and Mr. W. C. Warren, Department of Resources and Development, for Canada, and Col. J. P. Buehler, Corps of Engineers, and Mr. F. M. Veatch, United States Geological Survey, Department of Interior, for the United States. Operations during the fiscal year. Three formal Board meetings were held during the fiscal year to consider the effect of Tonasket Creek floods and their deposition of material in the channel of Okanogan River between Osoyoos Lake and the Zosel Dam. The an- nual report of the Board was submitted to the Commission. INDEX-PART 1 Page Volume 1 Volume 2 A Abbapoola Creek, S. C., navigation ......... ...... .. 537.........
