MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN THE OHIO AND MISSOURI RIVERS Location.--The Mississippi River rises in Lake Itasca, Minn., and, from that lake flows in a southerly direction about 2,350 miles and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The portion included in this report embraces the 195-mile section known as the middle Mississippi, 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 details see page 1879 of the Annual Report for 1915 and page 1014 of the Annual Report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for obtaining and maintaining a minimum channel depth of not less than 9 feet, a minimum width of not less than 300 feet at low water, with additional width in bends from the mouth of the Ohio River (about 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 excessive and protecting new and old banks from erosion where necessary to secure permanency; second, by dredging or other temporary expedients to maintain channels of project dimensions; third, by construction of works authorized for the Chain of Rocks reach in the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, which approved a comprehensive plan for development of the Mississippi River at Chain of Rocks so as to provide for construction of a lateral canal at an estimated first cost to the United States of approximately $10,290,000, with annual maintenance and operation cost of $70,000, subject to such modification RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1121 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 Band for airport, park, recreational, and similar purposes at a cost to local interests of approximately $17,555,000; provided that any modification of the present river channel required by the civic development be deferred until completion of the lateral canal in the interest of navigation and that the river diversion work connected with such civic development be under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers in order to insure that the interests of interstate and foreign commerce be properly protected; and further provided that local interests hold and save the United States free from any claims for damages that might be incurred due to the construction, maintenance, or operation of such civic development or any part thereof (H. Doc. 231, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). The estimated cost of new work (1952) is $101,936,000. The estimated cost of annual maintenance (1952) is $1,370,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized June June Mar. Mar. Mar. Mar. June 3,1896 13,1902 2,1907 Project for regulating works adopted in 1881.

See House Document 669 (76th Cong., 3d sess.) for report of Chief of Engineers dated February 27, 1940, containing a general plan for improvement of the Mississippi River between Coon Rapids Dam and the mouth of the Ohio River for purposes of navigation, power development, the control of floods, and the needs of irrigation. Terminal facilities.--Most of the water terminal and transfer facilities of the district are described in volumes 1 and 4 of the four-volume 1122 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 report of the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, entitled "Survey of Terminals and Landings on the Inland Waterways of the United States." Operationsand results duringfiscal year.-Construction works were carried on by contract and by hired labor work with Government 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: Miles Class of work and locality New work by contract: Powers Island-Schenimann-----------------...................

Costs of $2,217,414 were incurred on the improvement at Chain of Rocks as follows: By contract, construction of locks, $494,185; construction of canal and levees, $1,284,213; power control and lighting, $143,790; by hired labor, model studies, $129,842; lock design, canal and levee design, power control and lighting design, $44,794; preliminary engineering and surveys for construction, $39,257; miscellaneous addition to locks, $1,485; claims, studies and justifications, $9,604; legal expense, surveys, $7,865; repairs prior to completion, $14,120; real estate expense, management, appraisals, condemnations, mapping and surveying, $48,259. The total cost of new work was $2,263,874.05 of which $295,226 was by hired labor. Total expenditures $3,113,348.59. Maintenance: Dikes and revetments were repaired at a cost of $784,051. The required 9-foot channel was maintained by two United States hydraulic dredges. During the year nine shoals developed, of which all were dredged once, removing 1,815,079 cubic yards of sand and gravel at a cost of $324,633. The channels dredged had a combined length of 6.9 miles, an average width of 280 feet, and an average gain in depth of 8.2 feet. The total cost of maintenance dredging was $1,108,684. Hydrographic surveys were made covering 57.5 miles of river, costing $21,452. Aids to navigation were installed at a cost of $22,330. Other miscellaneous costs by hired labor were gages, $17,690; discharge observations at miscellaneous localities, $1,555; cooperative stream gaging, $14,125; stream flow forecasting, $3,690; engineering planning, $3,456; and repairs to gaging car track--Thebes railroad bridge, $288; all charged to maintenance. The cost of operation and care of RIVERS AND HARBORS-ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 1123 lock No. 27 was $76,292.74. The total cost of all maintenance including operation and care was $1,269,562.32, and the expenditures were $1,232,579.55. The total costs for the fiscal year were $3,533,436.37 and the expenditures were $4,345,928.14, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Work under this project (including the Chain of Rocks canal), is about 74.5 percent complete. The quantities required to complete the project are estimated at 128,580 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 floes 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 commerce 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 six 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 11.51 feet for the fiscal year 1951 and 17.79 feet for the fiscal year 1952. The costs and expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1952, have been as follows: Emergency Works Repair Regular funds Public funds funds Total Costs: New work-- -.--.-............ -Maintenance-...------------------------ Operation and care _ ----....

CA 03 1166 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Eisting 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 provide a basin 9 feet deep, varying in width from 400 to 1,100 feet and extending downstream from the Robert Street Bridge for a distance of 2.7 miles, and at Minneapolis to provide adequate terminal facilities, and for miscellaneous other harbor improvements. Pertinent data for existing and proposed locks and dams, etc., are given in above table. All dams are concrete. Three dams (St. Anthony Falls, 1, and 19) are fixed, the remainder are movable. The estimate of cost for new work (1952) is $223,808,300, which includes $26,573,800 for work upstream from the lower Northern Pacific Railway bridge at Minneapolis (St. Anthony Falls), but is exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The 1952 estimate for maintenance and operating costs is $4,500,000 annually, including $3,100,000 for operation and care of locks and dams. The existing project was authorized by the following acts and related documents: Acts Works authorized River and Harbor Act of Sep. 22, 1922. River and Harbor Act of July 3,1930 as amended by P. R.

Extension of channel above St. Anthony Falls. Construction of the lower lock and dam by continuing contract was increased from 5.5 to 20.9 percent complete. Progress was delayed during the year due to high water and ice conditions. Work in the first cofferdam has been substantially completed including construction of the training wall, nonoverflow section of the dam, and piers 1 and 2, and construction of the second cofferdam has been started. Work on the railroad bridge forming a part of this contract was discontinued since the structure was dismantled by the railroad company. About 2,994 cubic yards of material were excavated in the foundation area during the year and 13,664 cubic yards of concrete were placed in the structures. Locks and dam 1: A contract for construction of a protective cribbing type retaining wall and other work for the protection of the bluff adjacent to and downstream from the land wall of the locks was started on July 11, 1951 and brought to 51 percent completion. Clearing, over-burden excavation, and rock excavation were completed. The retaining wall was substantially completed. About 83 percent of sandstone excavation from the bluff face was accomplished. Severe erosion along the toe of the bluff face was suffered due to the extremely high flood in the spring of 1952 which will necessitate remedial work. Lock and dam 6: Contract for extension to the upper guide wall was completed on July 10, 1951. Seepage damages, pools 3 to 11: Claims were processed by hired labor as evidence of title was received, and 9 claims totaling $2,645 have been processed for payment.

ILLINOIS AND MISSISSIPPI CANAL, ILL. Location.-This canal connects the Illinois and the Mississippi Rivers, proceeding from a point on the Illinois River about 12 miles from La Salle across the State of Illinois to the Mississippi River at the mouth of Rock River. Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a canal from the Illinois River, near Bureau, running westerly via the Bureau Creek Valley to Rock River, near Colona, thence in the bed of Rock River to the rapids near Milan, and thence to the Mississippi River at the mouth of Rock River, at Rock Island, the length of the main line being 75 miles. The feeder, 29.3 miles in length, extends from Rock Falls on Rock River to the summit level of the canal, about 28 miles from the Illinois River. There are 32 locks in the main canal, described in the following tabulation. There is also a lock and controlling works at the head of the feeder at Rock Falls and a lock in Rock River at Rock Falls connecting the pool of the Government dam with the pool of the power company's dam below. This lock has dimensions similar to those in the main canal and cost $75,000. The cost of new work for the completed project was $7,605,143.41. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Existing project adopted._____------------......-..

At the former locality there is a fixed dam across the Rock River, with a movable crest constructed of wood, concrete, and steel; at lock 30 there are crib dams across the north and south channels of Rock River. The north dam has a 60-foot opening and has been superseded by a concrete power dam a short distance below; the south dam adjoining lock 30 has been reinforced with concrete laid in the water. RIVERS AND HARBORS---ROCK ISLAND, ILL., DISTRICT 1183 Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-None. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The canal structures were not operated or maintained for purposes of navigation during the fiscal year. Minimal maintenance pending disposal of the canal was performed by hired labor. A detailed study of the problems involved in effecting disposal of the lands and facilities was in progress. Federal, State, and local governmental agencies and private interests were contacted to obtain their views relative to the use of the lands and facilities for park or other beneficial purposes, and assumption of the responsibility for future operation and maintenance. The costs during the fiscal year were $125,898.05 for operation and care. The expenditures were $124,398.17. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1918. Locks, dams, aqueducts, buildings, and other appurtenances are in fair-to-poor condition. Tabulation under paragraph "Existing project" gives data regarding the principal features of construction. Since June 30, 1951, canal structures have not been operated or maintained for purposes of navigation, 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 total costs to June 30, 1952, from regular funds was $10,463,412.11, of which $7,580,143.41 was for new work and $2,883,268.70 was for operation and care. The expenditures were $10,461,452.55. The costs and expenditures from Emergency Relief funds for removal of snags and stumps in Rock River Pool were $25,000, all new work. In addition, the sum of $4,143,282.27 was expended between April 1895 and June 30, 1936, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

Location.--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 runoff from the uplands drainage area directly to the Mississippi River; construction of two retarding reservoirs (one each for Fall-Austin and Pigeon Creeks); improvements of the Sny Channel to collect bottom-land runoff; construction 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 FLOOD CONTROL---ROCK ISLAND, ILL., DISTRICT 1187 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 (1952) is $18,960,000. 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 requirements on September 8, 1947. Assurances, executed by the commissioners 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 construction plans and rights-of-way maps in the county court. Action by the drainage district in this matter must be deferred until completion 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 the assessments, damages, and benefits; secure court approval of the project; levy the special assessments; issue the drainagebonds, 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 considered that subsequent to that time it may take approximately 2 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 $16,306.91 for new work. The expenditures were $15,403.89. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction has not been started. Preliminary planning of the project, by hired labor, is about 38 percent complete. The total cost to June 30, 1952, was $408,700.00 for new work. The expenditures were $406,308.12. 1188 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER AT CANTON, MO. Location.-The work covered by this project is on the Mississippi River at the city of Canton, in Lewis County, Mo., 342.3 miles above the mouth of the Ohio River. Existing project.-The project provides for local flood protection at the city of Canton by means of diversion around the city of Canton Creek and the runoff from the hills south of the creek, construction of levees and flood walls with the necessary closure structures, and construction of two pumping plants with necessary intercepting ditches for removal of interior drainage. The estimated Federal cost (1952) is $1,505,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved May 17, 1950, substantially in accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers in House Document No. 107, Eighty-first Congress, first session. The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-Section 3 of the Flood Control Act approved FLOOD CONTROIr--ROCK ISLAND, ILL., DISTRICT 1189 June 22, 1936, applies. See pages 4-5 for requirements. In addition, local interests will be required to provide at their own expense all changes in highways and utilities including bridges and incidental remedial measures. No action toward fulfilling the requirements of local cooperation has yet been taken. Local interests will be formally notified of local cooperation requirements after approval of detailed plans. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-No work has been done. Proposed operations.--No work is scheduled for fiscal year 1953. The sum of $70,000 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1954 for preparation of detailed plans. 9. 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 northwesterly 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. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a dam consisting of a rolled earthfill 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 embankment 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 bedrock 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 spillway 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 penstock. Initially, the penstock 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 floodwaters 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. 1190 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 The latest estimate of cost of the project (1952) is $70,063,000, including $56,208,000 for construction and relocations, and $13,855,000 for lands and damages. The Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944, authorized to be appropriated certain moneys 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 comprehensive 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 Document No. 651, Seventy-eighth Congress, second session. Local cooperation.-Nonerequired. 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. The total costs during the fiscal year were $22,523.14 for new work. The expenditures were $23,615.41. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-Constructionhas not been started. Preliminary planning is about 34 percent complete. A minor amount of work in connection with land acquisition has been performed. The total costs to June 30, 1952, were $1,295,300.00 for new work. The expenditures were $1,291,482.90. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, $3,817.10, will be applied during fiscal year 1953 to the payment of accounts payable.

For further details see page 1888 of the annual report for 1915, and page 1098 of the annual report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the reconstruction of the five original reservoir dams, viz., Winnibigoshish, Leech Lake, Pokegama, Sandy Lake, and Pine River, and the construction of Gull Lake Reservoir. The cost for new work, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects, was $881,985.49. The latest approved (1952) estimate of cost of maintenance and operation of the reservoirs is $77,000 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 Mar. 3, 1899 Mar. 2, 1907 June 25, 1910 June 26, 19341 Work authorized Documents For reconstruction of 4 of the 5 original dams, and surveys to determine the extent of lands overflowed by the reservoirs. Reconstruction of Sandy Lake Dam and the construction of Gull Lake Reservoir. Construction of an equalizing canal between Winnibigoshish and Leech Lake Reservoirs (no work was done and this part of the project was abandoned in the act of Mar. 4, 1915). Operation and maintenance provided for with funds from War Department appropriations for rivers and harbors. 1 Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act. H. Doe. 363, 61st Cong., 2d sess.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-The reservoirs were operated as required and repairs and improvements made to the various structures. Precipitation in the reservoir area was about normal at the beginning of the fiscal year, but had increased to about 6 inches above normal by December 31, 1951. During the first half of the fiscal year, the outflow was regulated to decrease the total storage from 643,320 to 559,885 second-foot-days. During the second half of the fiscal year, the precipitation averaged slightly below normal. However, runoff from extremely heavy snow cover together with deep frost in the ground caused above normal flows during the spring rise and resulted in the stage at Aitkin, Minn., being above flood stage (12 feet) for 26 days, the maximum stage being 14.75 on April 13, 1952. It is estimated that the operation of the reservoirs resulted in a decrease in the Aitkin peak stage of about 1.9 feet. The spring runoff increased the storage from a minimum of 463,140 second-foot-days on March 31 to 610,500 second-foot-days on April 30, but the storage dropped to 577,000 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 details, see page 1890 of annual report for 1915, and page 1105 of annual report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for open-channel improvement from the Mississippi River to Shakopee (25.6 miles) 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 $12,730.69, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $2,500. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892 (p. 2209 of the Annual Report for 1891). The latest published map will be found on page 1574 of the annual report for 1888. Local cooperation.-None required under the existing project. Local interests on March 27, 1942, requested that the section of the channel between the mouth and Savage, Minn., mile 13.2, be dredged to a depth of 9 feet, and the Secretary of War under authority contained in section 4 of the River and Harbor Act approved March 4, 1915, authorized acceptance of a total of $139,670.91 as local contribution to defray costs of dredging in excess of the authorized 4-foot project depth. Terminal facilities.-At Port Cargill, mile 13.1, Cargill, Inc., owns and operates a launching ways, a dock 650 feet in length with warehouse adjacent, with additional mooring space 1,300 feet in length.

Local cooperation.-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 project 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 facilities, 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 understanding that such facilities shall be open to all on equal terms. Local interests have not been formally requested to furnish assurances. Terminal facilities.-At Stillwater there is a concrete-paved levee, 550 feet long and 40 feet wide, sloping from the top of the river bank to the water, and a terminal for the receipt of petroleum products, 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 approach. At other points along the river, landing may be made on the banks. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All new work was completed in 1930 except the authorized harbor at Hudson. The extension to provide a 9-foot channel from the mouth to Stillwater was completed on August 12, 1938, when full pool at dam No. 3 of the Mississippi River 1210 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 canalization project was reached. The minimum draft from Stillwater to Taylors Falls is about 1 foot at extreme low water; from mouth to Stillwater, 9 feet. The total costs and expenditures to June 30, 1952 were $309,449.64, being $150,409.50 for new work and $159,040.14 for maintenance.

RED RIVER OF THE NORTH DRAINAGE BASIN, MINN., S. DAK. AND N. DAK. Location.-The Red River of the North Basin, within the United States includes the northeastern corner of South Dakota and much of eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. The Red River of the North, formed by the confluence of the Otter Tail and Bois de Sioux Rivers, flows northward through this region, forming the boundary between North Dakota and Minnesota. For general location of the basin see the U. S. Geological Survey maps of the States of Minnesota and North Dakota. Previous projects.-Other flood-control projects on tributaries of the Red River of the North, but not a part of this project, are as follows: Name of project Authorization Lake Traverse and Bois de Sioux River, S.

Existing project.-The project includes improvements for local protection in the interest of flood control and major drainage to be accomplished by channel improvement, levees, etc., in addition to the construction of a multiple purpose reservoir on Otter Tail River to control floods and, in conjunction with the previously authorized Federal reservoir projects at Baldhill site on the Sheyenne River and at Red Lakes, to increase low flows for water supply and pollution abatement.

Estimated (1952) annual cost of maintenance (operating and care) for this unit is $16,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 30, 1948, which authorized the appropriation of funds for the partial accomplishment of the plan. 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 FLOOD CONTROL--ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1215 the conditions that local interests 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; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and subsequent maintenance of those works; (c) maintain the channels after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary 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 representatitves 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-Marsh, Mustinka, Sand Hill, and Otter Tail areas have furnished assurances. These were approved December 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 informal outline of requirements of local cooperation to local interests in 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 fscal year.-Advance plannng was carried on for uncompleted portions of Orwell Reservoir, an detailed planning was continued for the main stem at Grand Forks-East Grand Forks, Fargo-Moorhead, and Wahpeton-Breckenridge. Land acquisition for Orwell Reservoir was increased from 21 percent to 84 percent completion. About 1,667 acres of land were acquired dur- ing the fiscal year. Channel improvements by contract, on the Wild Rice River, were brought from 37 percent completion to 91 percent completion. About 769,500 cubic yards of material were excavated from 10 miles of channel in accomplishing this work. A contract for construction of Orwell Dam was brought from 5.5 percent completion to 63 percent completion. Control structure is substantially complete and construction of dikes has been initiated. Contracts were awarded for Orwell Reservoir clearing and for construction of dwelling and appurtenant work. 1216 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Designs have been completed for Wild Rice, Orwell Dam, and Mustinka features, all by hired labor. A total of 1,985 acres of land have been acquired. Channel improvement on the Wild Rice River was started by contract in August 1950 and is 91 percent complete. Construction of Orwell Dam, started in May 1951 by contract, is 63 percent complete. Contracts have been awarded for work on clearing Orwell Reservoir and for construction of dwelling and appurtenant work at Orwell. Bids for construction of Mustinka River improvements were rejected. The project as a whole is 14 percent complete. Work remaining to complete the project includes initiation of construction on relocations, Tainter gate bulkheads and fencing at Orwell, and improvements on the Marsh, Otter Tail, Mustinka, Sand Hill, Rush, Sheyenne, Maple, Grand Forks-East Grand Forks, FargoMoorhead, and Wahpeton-Breckenridge features, as well as completion of contracts in progress.

RED LAKE RIVER, MINN., INCLUDING CLEARWATER RIVER, MINN. Location.-The works covered by this project lie along the upper reach of the Red Lake River and also along the Clearwater River, a tributary of the Red Lake River, between a point near Plummer, Minn., and a point just above the mouth of Ruffy Brook. Red Lake River, the principal tributary of the Red River of the North, has its source at the outlet of Lower Red Lake in the northwestern portion of Minnesota and has a total length of about 196 river miles. It flows in a westerly direction to its junction with the Red River of the North at East Grand Forks, Minn. The meandering length of the Clearwater River in its general westerly course from its source near Ebro, Minn., to its junction with the Red Lake River at Red FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1219 Lake Falls, Minn., is about 205 miles. (For general location, see U. S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project.-The following features are included in the plan of improvement: Rectification and enlargement of 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 existing stop-log structure, which was constructed at the outlet of Lower Red Lake by the Indian Service, so as to provide for the installation of three hand-operated lift gates, and one stop-log bay; raising 6.9 miles of highway at west end of Lower Red Lake to prevent overtopping; and rectification, clearing, and enlargement of 37.5 miles of the channel of the Clearwater River so as to provide sufficient channel capacity between river mile 41.5 near Plummer, Minn., and pile 79.1 upstream from the mouth of Ruffy Brook. The channel improvements will eliminate a large percentage of the flood damages resulting from overflow of the rivers and will provide adequate channels in Red Lake and Clearwater Rivers to carry the discharge from drainage ditches. Modification of the existing 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 (1952) is $2,776,500. The approved (1952) estimated annual cost of maintenance , is $10,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (IH. 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 replacement 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 biochemical oxygen demand of not less than 85 percent for towns of 1,000 population or greater and of 35 percent for municipalities having a population of less than 1,000; and prevent the construction of any new dams or the raising of any existing dams in Red Lake, Clearwater, or Thief Rivers downstream from Lower Red Lake, Clearwater Lake, or Mud Lake unless authorized by the Department of the Army. 1220 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 assurances except those on pollution which were furnished by the Minne"ota Water Pollution Control Commission. All of these assurances were accepted October 3, 1947. A contribution of $33,220 was received 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 construction has been granted. On October 22, 1947, the Red Lake Indian Council adopted a resolution 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 resolution 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 reservation. On December 2, 1949, the Acting Secretary of the Interior authorized 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. Formal 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 tthe Interior that existing resolutions 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. Operationsandresults during fiscal year.-Designwas continued by hired labor. Contract for stage 4 of Red Lake River channel improvement was completed, completing all such work on that stream. A contract for modification of outlet structure and raising grade of road at lower end of Red Lake was advanced from 2 percent completion to 93 percent completion. A contract for stage 2 channel improvement on the Clearwater River was substantially completed and one for modification of bridge structures on the Clearwater River was completed during the year. A contract for stage 3 of Clearwater River channel improvement was increased from 4 percent of completion to 47 percent. Some minor work was also accomplished by contract. At the beginning of fiscal year 1952 the lake elevation was at 1,174.90 with a corresponding storage of 2,071,000 acre-feet. By July 31, 1951, the lake had receded to elevation 1,174.60 with a storage of 1,955,000 acre-feet. Thereafter the lake fluctuated between elevation 1,174.90 and 1,174.20, reaching the former elevation on January 3, 1952 and April 30, 1952 and the latter elevation on June 30, 1952. The outflow during the fiscal year varied between 200 and 1,800 second-feet, the average being approximately 900 second-feet. The peak inflow was 6,580 second-feet on December 6, 1951. Costs for the year for new work were $699,620.65, United States FLOOD CONTROL---ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1221 funds, as follows: Design, engineering, etc., $3,955.98; channel improvements, $370,683.03; other construction, $324,981.64. Cost by hired labor, $3,955.98; by contract, $695,664.67. Costs for the year for operation and care were $3,544.88. Total costs for the fiscal year were $703,165.53. Expenditures were $589,194.01. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Detailedplans 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 channel improvement on the Red Lake River and about 29.6 miles of excavation on the Clearwater River have been completed. About 5,775,700 cubic yards of material have been removed under the seven contracts embracing this work. Modification of four Clearwater River-bridges has been completed and modifications to the Red Lake outlet structure and work on raising the road in the vicinity of the outlet structure are in progress. Operation of the Red Lake Dam was taken over by the Department of the Army from the Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, on April 1, 1951. Completed portions of the channel are in good condition and have indicated the effectiveness of the project. Project as a whole is 90 percent complete. Only minor items of work in addition to the work in progress are required to complete the project. Total cost of new work for the project to June 30, 1952 was $2,489,306.62, of which $2,456,086.62 were Federal funds and $33,220.00 were contributed funds. Cost of operation and care was $4,337.33. Total costs were $2,493,643.95. Expenditures were $2,347,580.34 Federal funds, and $33,220.00 contributed funds.

HOMME RESERVOIR AND DAM, N. DAK. Locatio.--The dam is located on the South Branch of the Park River, about 4 miles upstream from Park River, N. Dak., and 62.1 miles above the mouth of the Park River. South, Middle, and North Branches, the headwater streams of the Park River, rise in Cavalier County in northeastern North Dakota and flow in an easterly direction to a nearly common confluence near Grafton, N. Dak., forming the main stream which flows easterly 35 miles, to join the Red River of the North about 35 miles south of the international boundary. (For general location, see U. S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project.--The following features are included in the plan of improvement: An earthfill dam, having a height of about 67 feet above the stream bed and a length of 865 feet; a 5-foot inside diameter 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 protection 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 acrefeet 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 castiron pipe water-supply outlet through the dam has been provided at the request of local interests with payment by them. The estimated cost to the United States for new work (Revised 1952) is $1,326, 700. The (1952) estimated annual cost of maintenance is $9,500. FLOOD CONTROL--ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1223 The project was authorized as "ParkRiver Reservoir" by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (S.Doec. 194, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. The project was redesignated "Hlomme 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 utilities; 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. Provisions of local cooperation have been complied with. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Preparationof the master plan for reservoir management and public use facilities was completed. The first of two contracts for placement of stone protection above the dam was completed. Contract for the second phase has been awarded, but no work has been done. The pool was maintained at approximately spillway crest, elevation 1080, during the fiscal year until September 12, 1951, by reducing the outflow to 3 second-feet. On September 12 draw-down from spillway crest elevation to approximately elevation 1053 was begun and completed September 16 to allow repairs to be made to the spillway crest. The pool remained at this elevation until January 9, 1952, and then fell, reaching lowest elevation 1051.2 on February 14, 1952. Due to the very slight spring runoff in this watershed, the pool was not completely filled, reaching a maximum elevation of 1076.5 on May 1, 1952. Following the spring breakup an exceptionally dry period caused the pool to fall to approximately elevation 1075 by May 8, at which level it remained through June 30, 1952. Maximum storage during the fiscal year was 3,650 acre-feet on August 31, 1951, and the peak inflow was 657 second-feet on April 1, 1952. Costs for the year for new work were $98,797.39, as follows: Design, engineering, etc., $7,627.11; construction, $91,170.28. Cost by hired labor, $7,627.11; by contract, $91,170.28. Costs of operation and maintenance for the year were $4,663.87. Total costs for the year were $103,461.26. Expenditures were $101,448.87. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Design and construction of the project are completed except for remaining construction of public-use facilities which has been deferred indefinitely, and completion of a contract for stone protection above the dam. Construction was initiated in April 1948, and major structures were completed in May 1951. The project as a whole is 95 percent complete. Structures are in good condition. The total cost of new work for the project to June 30, 1952, was $1,314,353.13, of which $1,258,133.13 were Federal funds and $56,220 were contributed funds. Cost of operation and maintenance was 1224 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 $6,966.95. Total cost for all work was $1,321,320.08. Expenditures were $1,261,908.12 Federal funds and $56,220 contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1952, $57,403.88, plus $17,588, accounts receivable, plus $3,800 allotted for fiscal year 1953, a total of $78,791.88, will be applied to complete all portions of the project except construction of public-use facilities, and for maintenance, as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1952--------------------------.--__ $20, 779. 96 New work: Designs (hired labor, July to December 1952) ---------------Complete stage 2, stone protection (contract, July to November 1952) --------------------------------------------Public-use facilities--------------------..------ 39,575. 00 7, 548. 00 Total new work---_...---------------------------- 50, 978. 87 3, 855. 87 Maintenance : Operation---------------- -- ----- 4, 863. 00 ----- Ordinary repairs..............--------------------------------------Total maintenance.------------------------------------Total all work-------------------------------------- 2, 170. 05 7, 033. 05 78, 791. 88 The sum of $8,600 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1954 for operation and maintenance.

LAKE ASHTABULA AND BALDHILL DAM, SHEYENNE RIVER, N. DAK. Location.-Baldhill Dam is located on the Sheyenne River, 16 miles upstream from Valley City, N. Dak., and about 271 miles above the mouth. The Sheyenne River rises in central North Dakota and flows 500 miles, generally southeast, to enter the Red River of the North about 10 miles north of Fargo, N. Dak. (For general location, see U. S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) project.-The plan of improvement provides for the conExisting struction of an earthfill dam, having a height of about 61 feet above FLOOD CONTROL---ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1 1225 the stream bed and a total length of 1,650 feet, with a concrete spillway control section consisting of a concrete gravity ogee sectioni 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 center 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 substantial water supply and pollution abatement for the section of the Sheyenne River below the dam and the section of the Red River of the North below the mouth of the Sheyenne River. In order that a part of the regulated flow may be available for water supply and pollution abatement in the Red River of the North at Fargo, N. Dak., and Moorhead, Minn., the plan also provides for the construction of a low diversion dam in the Sheyenne River 35 miles above the mouth, and a short ditch leading thence to the existing Stanley ditch, the latter to be cleared and deepened to the Red River of the North which it enters about 9 miles above Fargo. The estimated cost (1952) to the United States for new work, is $2,653,200. The estimated annual cost. (1952) for maintenance is $30,000. 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 Public 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 accordance with plans and regulations to be approved by the Secretary of War; (d) maintain the channels below the reservoir in satisfactory condition for the flow of water released from storage, to include the prevention of encroachments on the carrying capacity of the channel which would unduly interfere with the conveyance of floodwater; and (e) establish and enforce suitable regulations to prevent pollution of the waters of Sheyenne River. 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. 1226 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Designs, preparation of a master plan for reservoir management and public use facilities, and land acquisition were carried on by hired labor. Easements on about 202 acres of land were obtained during the year. Construction of dwelling and appurtenant utilities and alteration of Great Northern Railway facilities were completed by contract. Fabrication of a gantry crane, construction of esplanade, access road and low water control structure, erection of a service building, and fencing and tree planting are in progress by contract. At the beginning of fiscal year 1952, the pool was at elevation 1252.4, 0.4 foot above the spillway crest elevation, and fluctuated between this level and elevation 1249.5. The spring runoff was insufficient to fill pool (normal elevation 1266.0) and resulted in a maximum elevation of 1262.9 on May 24 and elevation 1262.5 on June 30, 1952. Maximum storage during the fiscal year was 54,050 acre-feet on May 24, 1952, and the peak inflow was 736 second-feet on April 13, 1952. Except during the spring breakup, discharge from the reservoir varied between 10 and 195 second-feet. The North Dakota Fish and Game Department has established fish rearing ponds immediately downstream from the dam and withdraws water from the reservoir, varying in discharge up to 10 second-feet. Costs for new work for the year were $144,532.35, as follows: Designs, $22,113.81; land acquisition, $30,474.31; dwelling utilities and miscellaneous, $91,944.23. Costs by hired labor, $55,662.02; by contract, $88,870.33. Costs for the year for operation and maintenance were $21,209.80. Total costs for the year were $165,742.15. Expenditures were $161,656.43. Condition at end of fiscal year.--Preliminary planning, including designs and master plan for public use facilities, is substantially complete. Possession of all lands required for the project, 7,816.5 acres in fee and easements on 666.2 acres, has passed to the United States. Construction was initiated in July 1947 and major features were completed in November 1950. The dam was placed in emergency operation in April 1950 and in permanent operation in the spring of 1951. Structures are in good condition. Completion of work presently under contract will complete the project except for construction of public use facilities, which has been indefinitely deferred. Total costs of new work to June 30, 1952 were $2,743,252.27, being $2,535,252.27 Federal funds and $208,000.00 contributed funds.. Total costs of operation and maintenance were $57,110.98.

LAKE TRAVERSE AND BOIS DE SIOUX RIVERS, S. DAK. AND MINN. Location.--The works covered by this project lie along Lake Traverse and Bois de Sioux River between the upper end of Lake Traverse at Browns Valley, Minn., and the mouth of Bois de Sioux River at Breckenridge, Minn. The lake drains through the river to the Red River of the North, and the two waters form a portion of the boundary between the State of Minnesota and the States of North and South Dakota. For general location, see United States Geological Survey map of Minnesota. 248558-53-vol. 2- 8 1228 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for use of Lake Traverse as a flood control and water conservation reservoir and for channel improvement in the river below the lake. It includes construction of a dam near White Rock, S. Dak., at the north end of Lake Traverse, a structure at the Reservation Highway crossing for control of the upper section of the Reservoir, levees, and embankments necessary near Browns Valley, Minn., and channel improvement of approximately 24 miles of the Bois de Sioux River from the outlet of Lake Traverse northward toward Breckenridge, Minn. The dam near White Rock, S. Dak., consists of a control section with concrete abutments, piers and stilling basin and 3 tainter gates, each 13 feet wide by 16 feet deep between two sections of rolled-fill embankment with a total length of 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 abutment walls, behind which compacted fill with soil-cement slab pavement connects with the existing highway, and is operated to maintain the water level in the upper section of the lake. The project, with reservoir capacity for flood control of 137,000 acre-feet, affords protection to about 42,000 acres of agricultural land from floods up to those which may be expected to occur once in 30 years, and should restore Lake Traverse to its former natural condition as a habitat for an abundance of wildlife and fish. The cost of the completed project was $1,332,200. The (1952) estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $16,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. Local cooperation.-None required. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The project was operated in accordance with the established plan. Following the 1951 spring high water, Reservation pool had dropped to conservation pool elevation 976 by the beginning of the fiscal year and White Rock pool had receded to elevation 972.5, 0.5 foot above conservation pool elevation. The outflow from White Rock Dam was gradually reduced from about 150 second-feet on July 1, 1951 to 10 second-feet by the end of the month and remained between 10 and 25 second-feet until March 11, 1952. Evaporation losses combined with subnormal rainfall reduced the pools to below their conservation levels, reaching a low point on October 1, 1951 of 975.5 and 971.4 for Reservation and White Rock Dam pools, respectively, with a total loss in storage of 12,000 acre-feet since July 1. Thereafter both pools rose gradually to near their conservation levels and remained so until the beginning of the record breaking 1952 spring high water. On April 5, 1952 the outflow was reduced to zero. The spring runoff rapidly filled the reservoirs, both pools reaching a common elevation of 980.8 with a storage of 245,675 acre-feet on April 27. A regulated outflow from White Rock Dam of FLOOD CONTROL--ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1229 about 1100 second-feet reduced the stages by June 30 to elevation 976.5 in the Reservation pool and 973.8 in the White Rock Dam pool, with a total remaining storage of 128,900 acre-feet. The maximum inflow during the fiscal year was 7,033 second-feet on April 12-14, 1952. It is estimated that operation of the Lake Traverse project resulted in a reduction of about 1 foot in the stage at WahpetonBreckenridge and 0.5 foot at Fargo-Moorhead during the 1952 flood. Costs for the year were $13,205.66 for operation and maintenance by hired labor, being $10,252.47 for operation and $2,953.19 for miscellaneous repairs and improvements. Expenditures were $12,690.89. Conditionat 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 Reservation control structure were in operation and the structures and appurtenances were in good condition. The roadways across structures were open to public travel. The total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1952, were $1,444,297.05, being $1,332,200 for new work and $112,097.05 for operation and maintenance. The expenditures were $1,442,845.41. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended June 30, 1952, $3,704.59, plus accounts receivable, $33.50, and an allotment of $10,000 for fiscal year 1953, a total of $13,738.09, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1952------------------------- $1,485. 14 Maintenance: Operation --------------------------------------Ordinary repairs------------------------Total operation and maintenance___ Total ------------- ______ ______ ---- 11, 130. 00 1, 122. 95 - 12,252. 95 ------------------- 13, 738. 09 The sum of $15,600 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1954 for operation and maintenance.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER NEAR AITKIN, MINN. Location.--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 southwesterly direction through Aitkin County. Aitkin, Minn., is on the 1230 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 alinement between miles 1,064 and 1,040.4 on the Mississippi River, being a channel about 6 miles in length and, with the exception of a contracted section at each end of the main diversion channel, a bottom width of 90 feet and 1 on 3 side slopes; a channel about 1,100 feet in length permitting the Little Willow River to enter the main diversion channel and a 2,800-foot channel diverting Wakefield Creek into the main diversion channel; erosion control structures at the mouth of the Little Willow and Wakefield Creek diversions and one other point. In addition, two supplementary diversion channels would be located downstream, the 800-foot Pine Knoll diversion between miles 1,040.9 and 1,040.1 and the 1,300-foot Tow Head Rapids diversion located between miles 1,031.4 and 1,030.5. The improvements will alleviate the flood condition and improve drainage in the near Aitkin, Minn. The estimate of cost (1952) to the United States for new work is $1,937,300. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 30, 1948 (H. Doc. 599, 80th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published 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 completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; and (e) prevent future encroachments in the flood plain of the Missisippi River within the limits of the project. The responsibility for local cooperation has been assumed by the Aitkin Drainage and Conservancy District which has furnished assurances and provided necessary rights of entry to lands required for construction. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Preparationof detailed plans was completed, and plans and specifications for the major portion of the work also were completed by hired labor. Two contracts were awarded for construction of the project, but no work has been done. Costs for the year for advance planning by hired labor were $63,513.52. Expenditures were $118,060.34. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Preparationof detailed plans is complete and plans and specifications as a whole are 38 percent complete. No work has been done on construction for which contracts were recently awarded. Total costs on the project to June 30, 1952, were $76,542.41 for new work. Expenditures were $130,486.35.

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. Eaisting project.-Construction of the Lac qui Parle Reservoir was initiated as a Works Progress Administration project sponsored by the State of Minnesota, prior to its authorization as a Federal project by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The present plan of improvement provides for completion and maintenance by the Department of the Army of the structures on Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes and the Chippewa River diversion works, substantially completed by the Work Projects Administration, for use of Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes as flood control and water conservation reservoirs, and for channel improvement of the Minnesota River below the lakes. 1232 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 The project includes a main dam at the outlet of Lac qui Parle Lake, a structure between Marsh Lake and Lac qui Parle Lake for control of the Marsh Lake Reservoir, a dam and diversion channel near Watson, Minn., for diverting flood waters of the Chippewa River into the Lac qui Parle Reservoir, necessary alterations to highways, railroads, and bridges in the vicinity, and improvement of the channel of the Minnesota River at various locations between Lac qui Parle Lake and Granite Falls. The Lac qui Parle Dam, which carries a highway across the Minnesota River, consists of a control structure of 12 bridge spans incorporating sluice gates and fixed spillway weirs, a 2,500-foot emergency spillway, and sections of highway embankment connecting with high ground on either side of the valley. The Marsh Lake Dam consists of a 112-foot concrete spillway, and two sections of dredged earth fill totaling approximately 9,700 feet in length, including an auxiliary 90-foot grouted riprap overflow spillway. The Chippewa River flood diversion dam consists of a concrete fixed Crest structure supporting a highway bridge, and a section of earth fill through which is provided a conduit for discharge of low water flow. The diversion channel for passing floodwaters of the Chippewai River into the Lac qui Parle Reservoir is 3,500 feet in length, cut through a natural ridge separating the river and an arm of the lake, and includes a six-span concrete submerged weir, also supporting a bridge, which allows a reverse flow from the lake. A rolled earth-fill dike extending along the lower south side of the channel is an extension of the diversion dam and serves also to protect the 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 construction 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 cutoffs 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 conservation purposes provided below normal elevations of conservation pools will result in improved lake levels for recreation and game conservation, in addition to providing for increased low water flow downstream for agricultural interests and for sewage disposal at Granite Falls. The estimate of cost (1952) to the United States for completion of the project is $553,750 for construction and $398,100 for lands and damages. The estimated (1952) annual cost of maintenance is $23,000. Local cooperation.-None required. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Title evidence for lands involved was being reviewed. Contracts for excavation and snagging on the Minnesota River below Lac qui Parle Dam and for Marsh Lake Dam riprap and access road were completed. The Lac qui Parle and Chippewa River control reservoirs were operated according to the established plan. The Lac qui Parle Pool fluctuated between elevation 932.5 and 929.6 until spring breakup. FLOOD CONTROL---ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1233 Prior to spring breakup the pool was drawn down to elevation 927.85 by March 29, 1952. The 1952 record spring high water resulted in a peak elevation of 941.95 on April 10, 1952 with a corresponding storage in the reservoir of 149,400 acre-feet. The pool then gradually receded, reaching elevation 931.2 on June 10, 1952, remaining substantially at that level until June 24. Heavy rains on June 25 and 28 caused the pool to rise to 936 by June 30, 1952. The outflow from Lac qui Parle Dam for the fiscal year averaged about 1400 secondfeet, ranging from zero flow during periods in October and November to a maximum of 21,000 second-feet on April 10, 1952. From July 1, 1951 to the beginning of the 1952 spring high water, Marsh Lake pool held nearly constant at approximately elevation 938. Due to the spring runoff the pool reached a maximum elevation of 943.8 on April 14, 1952, resulting in an increase in storage of 27,700 acre-feet. Upon the recession of high water, the pool receded to elevation 938.6 by June 23 but, due to the heavy rains of June 25 and 28, rose to 939.2 by June 30, 1952. The tainter gate of the Chippewa River control was also operated according to established plan. Discharge through the gate was controlled to channel capacity downstream, the gate being closed when that capacity was exceeded. The maximum discharge at this location, about 3,900 second-feet, occurred on April 6, 1952. The maximum inflow and storage in the system was 28,880 second-feet and 180,940 acre-feet, respectively, the peak inflow occurring April 6 and the peak storage on April 12, 1952. It is estimated that the operation of the reservoirs resulted in less than 0.1 foot decrease of the crest stage at Montevideo, Minn. Costs for the year for new work were $103,866.60 as follows: Designs $3,216.24; land acquisition, $507.41; and construction, $100,142.95. Cost by hired labor, $3,723.65; by contract, $100,142.95. Cost of operation and maintenance was $40,427.92 being $12,749.88 for operation and $27,678.04 for repairs and improvements. Total costs for the year were $144,294.52. Expenditures were $148,591.29. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Transfer of the project from the State of Minnesota to the United States was consummated on September 7, 1950. Previously operated by the State of Minnesota, the project has been operated by the Government according to the approved plan of operation since that time. Easements on 32.8 acres of land have been obtained and 516.3 acres of land have been acquired in fee; easements on 14,642.6 acres of lands are in process of acquisition. Construction under the present plan of improvement was started in September 1941 and was completed in December 1951. All structures are in good condition except for Watson Sag dike and the auxiliary overflow dikes at Lac qui Parle Dam, which were damaged by flood in the spring of 1952. Repairs to these structures will be made during the fall of 1952. Completion of land acquisition will complete the project. Total costs under the existing project to June 30, 1952 were $660,711.34, of which $597,237.66 were for new work and $63,473.68 were for operation and maintenance. Expenditures were $657,611.51.

Maintenance.--This work consisted of the repair, by contract of 9,955 linear feet of dikes and 16,030 linear feet of revetment, at a total cost of $908,632.41; and the accomplishment, by hired labor, of the following: Removal of 3,802,035 cubic yards of material from 10 localities by the United States dredges Lewis and Campbell, at a total cost of $366,980.47; the repair of 8,522 linear feet of dikes and 58,039 linear feet of revetment at a total cost of $1,176,104.39; engineering, design, and surveys, including channel surveys, and general investigation in connection with maintenance work, at a total cost of $82,197.77" stream gaging for special studies and working data at a cost o $23,538.91; marking channel for navigation at a cost of $106,151.57; and maintenance of the Liberty Bend Cutoff highway bridge at a cost of $291.48. The total cost of all maintenance work was $2,663,- 897.00. The total costs for the fiscal year were as follows: New work Regular funds _-------... -------------------------- _ $2, 279, 824.09 Maintenance $2, 663,897 - Total $4, 943, 721.09 The total expenditures were $4,867,525.71. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was about 78 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year, based on the present approved estimate of cost. The physical extent of work accomplished was 1,788,151 linear feet of dikes, 1,252,217 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 revetment spillways, excavation of 7,537,789 cubic yards of material in the construction of pilot canals, removal of 123,465 linear feet of existing structures, dredge fills totaling 1,546,493 cubic yards, removal of 432,664 cubic yards of rock, removal of 81,382,936 cubic yards of material by dredging, and removal of 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 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. The floods of July 1951 and April 1952 were particularly destructive. However, the river control structures successfully prevented the river from changing its course although practically every levee along the river failed due to these floods. 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 con- RIVERS AND HARBORS---KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1245 trolling depth throughout this section of the river on June 30, 1952, 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 112,000 cubic feet per second. The practical draft at ordinary stages of the river is 7 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, 1952, was as follows: New work Maintenance Total Regular funds....------------------------.. $82, 879, 145. 56 $42, 026, 442. 86 Emergency Relief funds ...-..... - . --1, 375, 243.49 133, 756. 51 Public Works funds----------------------------- 6,468, 490. 38 ---------------- $124, 905, 588. 42 42, 160, 199. 37 132, 883, 078. 80 90, 722, 879. 43 1, 509, 000. 00 6,468, 490. 38 The total expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1952 were $132,858,353.30 ($124,880,862.92 regular funds, $6,468,490.38 Public Works funds, and $1,509,000 Emergency Relief funds).

Location.--This river, rising in eastern Kansas, flows easterly 516 miles in sinuous bends to the Missouri River, 129 miles above its mouth and 14 miles below Jefferson City. Existing project.---This provides for a lock and dam and for openchannel work consisting of wing dams and training walls, removal of obstructions, and dredging between the mouth andWarsaw to obtain a uniform depth of 3 feet. The length of section included in the project is 171.2 miles, and (Osage River and Lake of the Ozarks 1948 mileage) consist of two parts, mouth to Bagnell Dam (Federal Power Commission project No. 459 at mile 81.7 above the mouth) and Bagnell Dam to legal head of navigation (immediately below Warsaw). Ordinary and extreme fluctuations of stage on the Osage River below Bagnell Dam are 15 and 41 feet and on the Lake of the Ozarks, formed by Bagnell Dam, are 10 and 30 feet. The cost of new work as of June 30, 1952 was $658,075.71. 1248 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, S. ARMY, 1952 U.

This act declared the river nonnavigable above the dividing line between Benton and St. Clair Counties, Mo. (a point approximately 185 miles above the mouth). This act declared the river not to be a navigable stream above a point which is located immediately downstream from Warsaw, Mo. Operating and care of the lock and dam provided for with funds from War Department appropriations for rivers and harbors. 1 Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act. For latest published maps, see House Document 91, Seventy-third Congress, first session. Terminal facilities.--On the Lake of the Ozarks, formed by Bagnell Dam, there are several marine ways and drydocks operated by private interests which are capable of handling any boats operating 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. 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.-Operation and care of the lock and dam were discontinued early in the fiscal year. Work consisted of dismantling operations, subsequent to suspension of lock and dam operation, at a total cost of $3,723.14 and total expenditures of $3,778.52 during the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year.--Considerable drift and silt has accumulated 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 re- placement. RIVERS AND HARBORS--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1249 Except for the construction of two wing dams, one in 1925 and one in 1926, the open-channel work was completed sufficiently in 1919 to provide reasonable accommodations for the commerce actually using the channel. Upon the completion of Bagnell Dam in 1931, navigable depths in excess of the project depth were made available at all times on the portion of the project upstream from mile 81.8. Navigation activities on the latter section have increased considerably with the development of the Lake of the Ozarks as a recreational area. The controlling depth from the mouth of the river to mile 26, or about 14 miles above the lock and dam, is 3 feet and drafts of 2 feet over this section are practicable. The controlling depth from mile 26 to Bagnell Dam is 2 feet and drafts in excess of 18 inches are not practicable. On the Lake of the Ozarks, depths of 10 feet or more are available at ordinary stages of the lake from Bagnell Dam to the mouth of Cole Camp Creek, about 80 miles above the dam, decreasing to approximately 5 feet in the vicinity of Warsaw, Mo. The topography adjacent to the lake is such as to form various coves in the lake, of which many have dependable channels for navigation for considerable distance above their confluence with the main stem of the lake. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1952 was $1,508,571.03 from regular funds, of which $658,075.71 was for new work, $543,847.22 was for maintenance, and $306,648.10 was for operation and care of the lock and dam. The total expenditures were $1,318,065.31 from regular funds. In addition, the sum of $190,561.10 was expended between July 1, 1912 and June 30, 1935 on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.--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 maintenance of the lock and dam has been discontinued and no further work under this heading is scheduled.

KANSAS CITYS ON MISSOURI AND KANSAS RIVERS, MO. AND KANS. Location.-KansasCitys on Missouri and Kansas Rivers in Missouri and Kansas. The municipal and industrial areas which require flood protection extend from the mouth of the Kansas River about 61/2 miles up and 91/2 miles down the Missouri River and 9 miles up the Kansas River. Ew'isting project.-The general plan of improvement contemplates protection works, consisting principally of levees and flood walls, for 13 separate project units which are designated as follows: Argentine; Armourdale; Central Industrial; Fairfax-Jersey Creek; North Kansas City; East Bottoms; channel improvement, Kansas River; bridge and approach alterations, Kansas River; channel improvement, Missouri River; floodway improvement, Missouri River; Birmingham; Blue Valley Industrial; and Liberty Bend cut-off. The existing project was authorized by the following flood-control acts: Acts Work authorized June 22,1936 Levees and flood walls for the protection of the Kansas Citys, at an estimated construction cost not to exceed $10,000,000, estimated cost of lands and damages, $8,000,000. Modified and extended the project o providelconstruction of cut-offs and protection for additional areas at an estimated additional cost of $8,445,000. Dec. 22,1944 July 24,1946 Documents H. Doc. 195,r73d Cong., 2d sess. H. Doc.r342,[78th Cong., 1st seas. Authorized the Chief of Engineers to include neces- sary railroad bridge and approach alterations as a Federal responsibility. The estimated cost (1952) is $51,149,800 of which $43,625,600 is the Federal cost and $7,524,200 is for lands and damages to be borne by local interests. This project will be operated as part of the comprehensive plan for the Missouri River Basin and it is contemplated that, with reservoir control, substantially complete flood protection will be provided for the Kansas Citys. The units involve construction approximately as follows: Argentine unit: The original levees and flood walls built .by private interests were of sufficient height to protect the district from the design 248558--53-vol. 2----10 1260 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 flood, but to correct inadequate design and improper 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 by private interests are being corrected through proper design and selection of materials in the emergency restoration necessitated by the flood of 1951, the levee work formerly contemplated under this unit no longer will be required. However, studies subsequent to the flood of 1951 indicated the necessity for constructing protection for the approaches to the Argentine Boulevard and the West Kansas Avenue bridges, and the construction of a tie-back levee along the Santa Fe drainage ditch to intercept side hill drainage. 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'; construct a new levee mile 1 to 0.7 and construction of new flood wall, including the replacement of a short section of existing wall from mile 0.7 to 0.3.1 The downstream end of the new wall will connect with the southern terminus of the existing Fairfax District levee. Central Industrial unit: Beginning at the south end of the ArmourSwift-Burlington Bridge over the Missouri River, mile 376.9,2 the existing and proposed protection for the district extends upstream along the right bank of the Missouri River to the mouth of the Kansas River, mile 378.8,2 a distance of 1.9 miles, and thence upstream along the right bank of the Kansas River to mile 3.4,1 in the vicinity of the Seventh Street Bridge, a total distance of 5.3 miles. The plan of improvement consists of the construction of concrete flood walls and earth levees to protect the portion of the unit lying in the State of Missouri, and the raising of existing structures and construction of new concrete flood walls and earth levees to protect the portion of this unit located in the State of Kansas. Fairfax-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 intercity viaduct (mile 0.3)'; 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 floodprotection works. North Kansas City unit: Beginning at a point northwest of the Kansas City, Mo., municipal waterworks, the existing and proposed protection for the unit extends downstream along the left bank of the Missouri River for a distance of about 6.55 miles and opposite approximately Missouri River mile 375; thence north along the right 1; ' Above mouth of Kansas River. *Above mouth of Missouri River. FLOOD CONTROL--KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1261 bank of Rock Creek to the Wabash Railroad right of way, a distance of about 0.8 mile; thence northwesterly along a drainage ditch to high ground northeast of the Kansas City, Mo., municipal waterworks, a distance of about 1.6 miles. The plan of improvement consists of raising and realinement of existing levees and a railroad embankment and the construction of new earth levees and a concrete flood wall to protect the city of North Kansas City, Mo., and the municipal airport and waterworks for the city of Kansas City, Mo. The total length of the proposed system is 9 miles. East-Bottoms unit: Beginning at the south end of the ArmourSwift-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 contemplates necessary rectification of the Big Blue River channel near the mouth of this stream. Channel improvement, Kansas River, unit: Bank-stabilization works along the right bank of the Kansas River from the Seventh Street Bridge to the Kansas City Terminal Railway bridge (mile 3.50 to mile 2.491); 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 contemplated that all bridges across the Kansas River between mile 5.13 and the mouth which do not now provide adequate floodway will be raised above the design flood profile. This would involve the permanent raising of 4 highway and 3 railroad bridges, and provision of facilities for the temporary raising during flood periods of 3 other railroad bridges.

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 construction 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.-Studies in connection with the definite project plan for the North Topeka unit were initiated, by hired labor, at a cost during the fiscal year of $7,932.98. The expenditures were $7,052.39. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was approximately 25 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 earthfill in an earth levee; construction of 2,016 linear feet of concrete flood wall, 6,421 linear feet of bank paving, 2,600 linear feet of waterworks protection, 3 protection enclosures at the waterworks, 1 floodgate, 9 sewer outlet extensions, and appurtenant features; and seeding of levees. The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of the construction of the North Topeka unit. Commencement 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. Engineering studies in connection with preparation of a revised definite project plan for the North Topeka unit have been initiated. The total cost and expenditures of the existing project (all new work) at the end of the fiscal year were $746,102.80 ($480,102.80 from regular funds and $266,000 from Emergency Relief funds) and $745,222.21, respectively, exclusive of $7,659.31 contributed funds. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $62,947.61 will be applied during fiscal year 1953 to the payment of accounts payable of $880.59 and the completion of definite project plans and preparation of contract plans and specifications for the North Topeka unit of the project. 1284 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

EMERGENCY FLOOD-CONTROL WORK UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE FLOOD CONTROL ACT APPROVED AUGUST 18, 1941, PUBLIC LAW 75, SEVENTY-NINTH CONGRESS, AND PUBLIC LAWS 102 AND 858, EIGHTIETH CONGRESS. The Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941, as modified by the Flood Control Acts approved July 24, 1946; June 30, 1948; and May 17, 1950, authorized the allotment from flood-control appropriations of not to exceeed $15,000,000 for any one fiscal year to be expended in rescue work or in the repair or maintenance of any floodcontrol work threatened or destroyed by flood. Pursuant to these acts, regular flood-control funds in the total mnount of $402,453.25 were allotted to the Kansas City District for emergency repairs and rescue work during the fiscal years 1943 through 1948. Because of the heavy demands for emergency repair work to floodcontrol structures damaged or destroyed by the disastrous floods which occurred during the spring months of 1943, 1944, 1945, 1947, and 1948, Congress authorized amounts to be appropriated as emergency funds to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of the Army and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers for the repair, restoration, and strengthening of levees and other flood-control works which had been threatened or destroyed by the recent floods (including the provision for raising, extending, or other modification of flood-control works as may be necessary in the discretion of the Chief of Engineers for the adequate functioning of the works for flood control in accordance with Section 208 of the Act approved June 30, 1948) as follows: Authorizing acts Public Public Public Public Public Law Law Law Law Law 138, 78th Cong., approved July 318, 78th Cong., approved May 75, 79th Cong., approved June 102, 80th Cong., approved June 858, 80th Cong., approved June Amount authorized $10, 000, 000 12, 1943 __----------29, 1944---------------12, 000, 000 12, 000, 000 5, 1945___ ----------23, 1947_ ------------15, 000, 000 __ 25, 000, 000 30, 1948 ..------- Under authority contained in the foregoing acts, funds have been allotted for emergency repair work, flood fighting, and rescue work in the Kansas City District in the total amount of $21,432,472.11. Local cooperation.--Localinterests have contributed the amount of 1294 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 $131,342.98 toward the cost of emergency repairs to levees in this district damaged during the floods of 1943. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Continuous heavy rains during the forepart of July and particularly during the period July 9 through July 12, caused the Kansas River to crest at unprecedented heights on Friday, July 13, 1951. This flood caused almost 1 billion dollars damage in the Kansas and lower Missouri River Basins. This flood breached or overtopped nearly every levee along the Kansas River and the Missouri River from Kansas City to its mouth, and caused substantial damage to most of the levees that were not breached. During April 1952, a disastrous record-breaking flood descended from the upper reaches of the Missouri River and overtopped and breached substantially all the levees along the Missouri River from Rulo, Nebr., to Kansas City, Mo., and a large number of the levees from Kansas City to the mouth of the Missouri River were damaged or destroyed. Flood fighting and rescue work which involved the evacuation of people, livestock, farm machinery and equipment, and other personal property from areas threatened or inundated by the floodwaters, and flood reporting were accomplished during the fiscal year at a total cost of $3,853,964.91. Repairs were made to over 500 privately constructed farm levees, requiring the placement of 11,869,475 cubic yards of earth fill; construction of 14,137 linear feet of levee protection structures; placement of 2,574,000 cubic yards of material by the United States dredges Black and Mitdhell; and repair of one floodgate. The total cost of the repair and protection of privately constructed farm levees during the fiscal year, including costs of $122,445.07 for engineering, surveys, and mapping, was $6,178,391.67. Restoration of damaged flood-control improvements in the Argentine, Armourdale, Birmingham, Central Industrial, East Bottoms, Fairfax-Jersey Creek, Liberty Bend cutoff, and North Kansas City units and restoration of bridges and channel clearing in the bridge and approach alterations and channel improvement, Kansas River units and Liberty Bend cutoff unit was initiated by contract and hired labor, approximately 54 percent of the work being completed at a cost of $8,251,170.55. This work consisted of the placement of 2,067,569 cubic yards of earth fill; placement of 2,178,226 cubic yards of dredgefill and excavation of 211,500 cubic yards of material by United States dredges Campbell, Chittendon, and Mitchell, placement of 69,451 tons of stone in bank paving and toe protection; and construction of 23,752 linear feet of levee and bank-protection structures. Engineering and design in connection with restoration of damage to completed or partially completed Missouri River agricultural levee units R-513-512, R-500, L-488, R-482, L-476, L-448-443, and R-440 was accomplished by hired labor at a cost during the fiscal year of $10,365.57. Engineering and design in connection with restoration of the completed South Topeka unit of the Topeka, Kansas River, Kans., project was accomplished by hired labor at a cost during the fiscal year of $308.81. An emergency well-point system was installed in the downstream slope of Kanopolis Dam and operated by hired labor to insure the FLOOD CONTROL---KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT 1295 stability of the embankment pending completion of the seepage collector system. The total cost of this work during the fiscal year was $43,352.76. Several channel blocks constructed to divert the Chariton River into a new channel were destroyed by flood. Replacement of these channel blocks was initiated by contract, and approximately 40 percent of the work completed during the fiscal year at a cost of $5,190.81. The total cost during the fiscal year for work accomplished under this heading was $18,342,745.08 and the expenditures were $8,992,880.83, including costs and expenditures of $19,500 from contributed funds. Condition at. end of fiscal year.--The repair of approximately 60 percent of the damage to flood-control improvements resulting from the disastrous floods of July 1951 and April 1952 and high water at other times during fiscal year 1952 has been completed. Construction to complete about 15 percent of the work remaining, for which local interests have requested assistance, was under way. The total cost (maintenance) of work accomplished under this heading to June 30, 1952, was $27,272,797.83 ($402,453.25 from regular flood-control appropriations, $131,342.98 from contributed funds, and $26,739,001.60 from emergency appropriations). The expenditures were $17,916,742.77. Proposed operations.--The unexpended balance of $4,049,525.57 and an allotment of $16,282,500 for fiscal year 1953, a total of $20,332,025.57, will be applied during fiscal year 1953, as follows: Accounts payable ------------------------------------$9, 356, 055. 06 Maintenance : By hired labor: Flood reporting, flood damage survey, and study of entire disaster area which involves about 135 counties and preparation of flood plan manual----------.. 47, 584. 00 Missouri River, Rulo to Quindaro Bends: By contract: Completion of existing contracts: Construc617, 321.00 tion of farm levee repair______ -----------------By proposed contract: Construction of baffles to break 64, 000. 00 up eddy action along Barcus levee No. 83 --------By hired labor: Construction of baffles dikes, rock paving, and levee ---------------------.----125, 900. 00 repairs 15, 000. 00 --Dredging to restore foreshore protection_____ Construction to repair flood damage to levees and 35, 000. 00 rock revetment to prevent further erosion------. 3, 979. 00 Engineering and design -----------------------Missouri River, Quindaro to DeWitt Bends: By contract: Completion of existing contracts: Construc.....-----------------------1, 008, 493. 00 tion of farm levee repair By proposed contract: 25, 000. 00 Construction to repair flood damage to farm levees__ Construction to repair levees, construction of baffles, rock protection, and dredging, to reinforce foreshore protection necessary for restoration of large 447, 156.00 farm levee units --------------------------4, 918. 00 Engineering and design __-----------------------Missouri River, DeWitt Bend to Mouth of Osage River: By contract: Completion of existing contract: Complete 220, 277. 00 construction of farm levee repairs --------------By hired labor: Complete construction of repairs to farm 1, 000. 00 levees-----------------------------------------6, 178. 00 Engineering and design_----------------------------- 1296 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

S. ARMY, 1. 1952 MISSOURI RIVER, KANSAS CITY TO SIOUX CITY Location.-The Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri River, which flows southeasterly 2,464.41 miles across or along seven States to the Mississippi River, 17 miles above St. Louis. The river is the boundary between the States of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. For description, see page 1149, annual report for 1932. Previous projects.-Under the River and Harbor Act of August 14, 1876, the first regulation works were constructed at St. Joseph and Nebraska City, but a project for systematic river improvement was not adopted until August 2, 1882, modified by the River and Harbor Acts of July 5, 1884, September 19, 1890, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1893, annual report for 1915, and page 1175, annual report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel of 9-foot depth and width not less than 300 feet, to be obtained by revetment of banks, construction of permeable dikes to contract and stabilize the waterway, cut-offs to eliminate long bends, closing of minor channels, removal of snags and dredging as required. Length of section under 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 (1952) is $195,559,100 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The estimated cost of annual maintenance is $2,825,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 Jan. 21,1927 Approuriation of $12,000,000 authorized for the existing H.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: This work consisted of construction, by contract, of 78 pile dikes and 26 pile dike extensions totaling 22,832 linear feet, 23 lengths of revetment totaling 26,509 linear feet, at a total cost of $2,885,394.50; construction, by hired labor, of 18 pile dikes totaling 9,845 linear feet, and 13 lengths of revetment totaling 18,154 linear feet, and removal of 1,360 linear feet of existing structures, at a total cost of $595,895.01; removal of 597,583 cubic yards of material from the channel at 4 localities by the United States Dredge Lewis at a total cost of $44,885.00; and engineering, design and surveys, at a cost of $77,144.47. The total cost of new work, all prosecuted with regular funds, was $3,603,318.98. Maintenance: This work consisted of construction, by contract of repair and replacement of 14,515 linear feet of pile dikes, and 18,014 linear feet of revetment, at a total cost of $1,555,876.07; the accomplishment, by hired labor, of repair or replacement of 23,456 linear feet of pile dikes, and 65,715 linear feet of revetment, at a total cost of $2,215,797.60; and the removal of 2,718,654 cubic yards qf material from 10 localities by the United States Dredge Lewis, at a cost of $176,329.15. The cost of engineering, design and surveys in connection with hired labor maintenance work was $52,889.86. Other miscellaneous costs, all charged to maintenance, were: Stream gaging for special studies and working data at a cost of $14,355.57; and reconnaissance and marking channel for navigation at a cost of $19,829.48. The total cost of all maintenance prosecuted with regular funds was $4,035,077.73. The total cost for the fiscal year was $7,638,396.71, of which $3,603,318.98 was for new work, and $4,035,077.73 for maintenance. The 1304 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 expenditures were $7,895,703.62, of which $3,629,315.29 was for new work, and $4,266,388.33 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 53 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year, based on the present approved estimate of cost. Kansas City, Mo., to Rulo, Nebr.: The work between Kansas City, Mo. (upper end of Quindaro Bend), and Rulo, Nebr., was approximately 66 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 approximately 9 feet at which time there was an average discharge at St. Joseph, Mo., of 94,500 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 transportation service was inaugurated. The work remaining to be done to complete this section of the project consists principally of the construction of additional dikes and revetment. Rulo to Omaha, Nebr.: The work between Rulo, Nebr., and Omaha, Nebr., was approximately 67 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 is maintained. Commercial navigation has existed in this section since May 1939. During World War II commercial 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 36 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 several extreme high waters. In addition, other losses are occurring due to concave banks being unprotected at the time of curtailment of work. Work possible with the limited funds available during the fiscal year has made some progress toward the restoration of the channel at the particular locations to which applied but losses at other locations have been such that very little improvement of RIVERS AND HARBORS-OMAHA, NEBR., 1305 DISTRICT the channel for the section as a whole has resulted. Channel conditions limit practical drafts to 31/2 feet. Under the existing project for systematic work on the 9-foot channel, the work accomplished includes 1,141,719 linear feet of revetment for permanently fixing the banks, 2,226,050 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 auxiliary channels, construction of 48,237 linear feet of asphalt revetment, effecting three channel cut-offs and removal of 84,026,798 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, 1952, is: Cost Funds New work Regular funds---.....--.---------------- $65, 705, 025. 22 Public works funds- ...-...----- -... 29, 038, 236. 29 Emergency relief funds --------------9, 613, 073. 19 Total funds -----..... _---_-- . -- .. 104, 356, 334. 70 Maintenance Total $28, 166, 392. 59 114, 180. 14 56, 644. 65 $93, 871, 417. 81 29,152, 416. 43 9, 669, 717. 84 $94, 074,932. 52 29, 152, 416. 43 9, 669, 717. 84 28, 337, 217. 38 132, 693, 552. 08 132, 897, 066. 79 Expenditures Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $2,846,004.67, regular funds, plus accounts receivable of $93,912.31, advance to plant account of $375,000, together with an allotment of $9,633,700 for fiscal year 1953, a total of $12,948,616.98 will be applied during fiscal year 1953, as follows: Kansas City Rulo, Nebr., to to Rule, Nebr.

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 available funds to meet the emergency. Without the immediate participation 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 bulldozers and FLOOD CONTROL-OMAHA, NEBR., DISTRICT 1343 other equipment to open the roads and by means of airplanes 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 $7,005,939.37 have been allotted to the Omaha district to defray expenses incurred under Operation "Snowbound." The cost to the Federal Government of Operation "Snowbound" in the Omaha district was x7,005,939.37 and the expenditures were $7,005,939.37. All funds expended. Project complete.

Existing project.--The plan of improvement provides for the protection of areas subject to flooding in the city of Havre, Mont. The !project includes two units, the Bull Hook unit and the Milk River unit. The Bull Hook unit consists of two rolled earth-fill dams, one on Scott Coulee and one on Bull Hook Creek, approximately 2,500 feet south of the city; a diversion channel to connect Scott Coulee to Bull Hook Creek just upstream of the dams; a combined discharge and spillway channel to divert flood flows into a coulee emptying into Milk River just east of the city; a small diversion dam in this coulee and a spillway to divert extreme flood flows into a drainage area to the northeast. The Milk River unit consists of a levee on the right (south) bank of Milk River along the northern edge of the city. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (S. Doc. 103, 78th Cong., 1st sess.). The estimated Federal cost (1952) is $2,137,000; the estimated local cost (1952), is $129,000 for utility modifications, lands, and damages.

Open-channel work, Ohio River----------------- _ ---Note. Tributary navigation projects and all flood-control projects in the River Basin are contained in the reports of the districts included in the River Division. 1381 1382 1389 Ohio Ohio 1382 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 1. 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 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 construction 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. Earisting 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 auxiliary lock 56 by 360 feet at Emsworth, Dashields, Montgomery, and dam 41 and 110 by 360 feet at Gallipolis. Dashields is a fixed dam, while 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 Apropri. ations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. The estimate of cost of new work (existing project) (1952) exclusive of Gallipolis locks and dam reported under the Kanawha River project, is $350,495,800. The foregoing estimate does not include expenditures on previous projects. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care of locks and dams (1952) is$7,700,000. 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, widening of the Louisville and Portland Canal to 170 feet, and a new lock at the lower end. The act also granted discretionary authority to the Secretary of War to make such modifications in the project as H.

OHIO RIVER 1383 Under the authority granted in the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910, the Louisville and Portland Canal has been widened to 200 feet; locks and dams 40 and 42 have been eliminated; locks and dams 1 and 2 replaced by the Emsworth locks and dam; lock and dam 3 replaced by the Dashields locks and dam; and locks and dams 4, 5, and 6 replaced by the Montgomery locks and dam. Locks and 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 lower Kanawha River.

At certain unstable bars the project depth is maintained by dredging, supplemented by contraction works. (See project "Open Channel Work, Ohio River," p. 1389). 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 adequate 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 reconstruction 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 Markland, Ind., to replace locks and dams 35, 36, 37, 38, and 39; 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 1381. The portion of the river included in the project extends from the head of the river at Pittsburgh, Pa., to the mouth of the Cache River (Mound City, Ill.), a distance of 974.7 miles. Open-channel improvement from the mouth of the Cache River to the mouth of the Ohio River is under the jurisdiction of the Mississippi River Commission. Existing project.-Prior to the completion of the canalization project, no project depth had been fixed by Congress under the project for open-channel work, but in order to properly aid packet and barge navigation it was found necessary to secure a low-water 1390 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 channel having a minimum depth of from 4 to 6 feet, and a width, depending upon the difficulty of running the channel, of from 400 to 600 feet; also to permit the movement of large coal tows, which movement occurred at stages of water exceeding 10 feet, it was found necessary to remove the points of projecting bars which formed at various locations along the river. The accomplishment of this purpose involved the concentration of current by closing back channels at islands with low dams, the contraction and straightening of wide, open channels by low dikes, the dredging of bars and shoals, and the removal of snags and wrecks. Since the completion of the canalization project, the work under the project for open-channel work provides mainly for widening, deepening, and maintenance of the channel in the pools of the dams, and in the open river section of the river below lock and dam 53 so as to provide and maintain the full project depth of 9 feet contemplated by the canalization project. In order to properly facilitate the movement of the present-day barge tows, it has been found necessary to provide channel widths, varying according to the difficulty of running the channel, of from 500 to 750 feet. The accomplishment of this work not only involves dredging of bars and shoals, but the construction and maintenance of back channel dams, dikes and bank revetments for stabilizing the channel, and the removal of snags and wrecks. Incidental to the direct improvement of the Ohio River is the construction and maintenance of ice piers as required for the protection 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 (1952) is $22,171,900, 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 (1952) is $1,395,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Mar. 3,1827 Work authorized Documents 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. Jan. 21,1927 It provided for the removal of all obstructions which tend to endanger steamboat navigation. Construction of ice piers, as a part of the project, with funds allotted from the appropriations for July 3, 1930 general open-channel work. Reforestation of the sloughs on Kentucky Peninsula near Evansville, Ind., and a 200-foot strip along the upstream bank and for bank protection at an estimated cost of $200,000. H. Doc. 187, 67th Cong., 2d seas. H. Doc. 409, 69th Cong., 1st sess. 1391 OHIO RIVER Operation of snag boats on the Ohio River below the Pennsylvania State line was included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927, authorizing the construction of ice piers for general openchannel 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 cooperation is not needed since no additional construction is under consideration. The River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930, authorizing the reforestation of the sloughs on Kentucky Peninsula near Evansville, Ind., and a 200-foot strip along the upstream bank and for bank protection, provides that no expense shall be incurred by the United States for acquiring of any lands required for the purpose of this improvement (H. Doc. 409, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). However, since no serious overbank erosion has occurred since the bank revetment in 1933-34, reforestation is not considered justifiable at this time and no local cooperation is required. Terrrinalfacilities.-See page 1386. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Dredging, where required to provide an adequate and dependable channel of project depth at minimum pool conditions, was executed. The dikes and revetments were maintained and the routine work of maintaining navigation aids, removing snags, making channel studies and hydrographic surveys was performed as required. The specific work accomplished during the year was as follows: New work: The following new work was performed by contract and hired labor: District and locality Miles below Period Cubic yards moved Cost Contract: Huntington district: Dredging channel Grape Island (No. 17 pool). 151.9-152. 2 July 1-30, 1951__. 4, 010 $30, 462. 19 4, 010 30,462. 19 Total contract-----.............------------.......------............ -------------------- Percent cornpleted 100 .......

In addition to dredging, local stabilization of channel has been effected at various points by construction of dikes and revetment. The work which remains to be done consists of dredging to widen the channel at various points to the project depth and placing of revetment at various points to further stabilize the channel and protect the banks against erosion.

CUMBERLAND RIVER, TENN. AND KY. Location.-This river is formed by the junction of Poor and Clover Forks in Harlan County, Ky., about 692.8 miles above its mouth, and flows west to Burnside, Ky., from whence it makes a loop southwestward into Tennessee, passes Nashville, and returns northwestward to Kentucky, emptying into the Ohio near 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 1395 1396 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 river, but the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, was the first to define a project for its improvement. The River and Harbor Act of September 19, 1890, adopted a special project for the improvement of the mouth of the river. For further details see page 1901 of annual report for 1915, and page 1208 of annual report for 1938. Above Nashville: Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of August 14, 1876, March 3, 1881, and July 5, 1884. For further details see page 1898 of annual report for 1915, and page 1208 of annual report for 1938. Existing project Below Nashville: Prior to adoption of the 9-foot navigable channel defined in succeeding paragraphs, the project 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 extreme low water from the mouth to lock and dam 1, Nashville, Tenn. (188.4 miles above the mouth), the first lock constructed under the project for the section of the river above Nashville. The surmounting of dams A to F with movable crests was also provided. Dredging in the lower river was made unnecessary by the construction 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.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., 1397 DISTRICT 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 construction of 3 moderate height dams with lockage facilities, designated as Kuttawa (Eureka), Dover, and Cheatham, to replace the existing locks A to F, inclusive, below Nashville, and lock 1, above Nashville. The cost (1952) of canaliza(See H. Doc. 761, 79th Cong., 2d sess.) tion with locks 110 feet wide and 800 feet long is estimated as $47,540,000. Supplemental authority contained in Public Law 396, 82d Congress, second session, approved June 19, 1952, provides for the construction of facilities for the generation of hydroelectric power at Cheatham Dam, at an additional cost of $18,200,000.

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 navigation at low water from Nashville (lock and dam 1, 188.4 miles above the mouth) to Waitsboro Shoals (a distance of 324.6 miles), and 4-foot navigation from Waitsboro Shoals to Burnside (3 miles) ; provision also being made for the periodic removal of snags and 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.). 8, inclusive, and Under the above authority, locks and dams 21 were completed and placed in operation during the period 18881924. The raising of dam 1 by installation of crest wickets was completed in October 1931. Proposed locks and dams 16 and 17 were eliminated from the project upon authorization of Wolf Creek Reservoir (p. 1420), 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 projected locks and dams 16 and 17 eliminated by Wolf Creek Reservoir.

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 Nashville for navigation and power. The cost (1952) including a lock at Old Hickory, is estimated as $127,600,000. 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, inclusive.

Local cooperation.-Below Nashville: None required. Above Nashville: Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-At Nashville, Tenn., there is a five-story terminal building 300 feet long and 140 feet wide, built of reinforced concrete, having large and convenient loading platforms, electric elevator and crane, with railroad connections, municipally owned and open for public use. At Clarksville, Tenn., there is a privately owned warehouse with inclined tramway. Privately owned terminals 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1401 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 excavation and concrete placement under the continuing contract for construction of Cheatham lock. Approximate quantities of major items of work accomplished were: Common excavation, 11,800 cubic yards; rock excavation, 700 cubic yards; reinforcing steel placed, 277,000 pounds; and concrete placed, 131,530 cubic yards. Work under four supply contracts for lock operating equipment was completed. A continuing contract for construction of the dam was awarded, but the only work accomplished consisted of placement of orders for materials and mobilization of plant and equipment which was in progress at the end of the year. Hired labor operations included completion of real estate planning report; completion of plans and specifications for construction of the dam; continuation of preliminary engineering and design studies on other phases of the project; and alterations to the Cumberland River spare lock gates for use as temporary gates at Cheatham lock. The costs for new work were $3,163,282.41. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of navigation inspection, removing 2,380 cubic yards of mud and 1,913 snags from the channel, dredging 1,954 cubic yards of rock at Little Horse Ford (mile 33.7), and dredging 81,661 cubic yards of sand and gravel at the following sites: 13,172 cubic yards at Little Horse Ford (mile 33.7); 9,351 cubic yards at Lower Kuttawa Bar (mile 40.4); 16,507 cubic yards at Upper Kuttawa Bar (mile 40.8); 4,348 cubic yards at Shelley Island (mile 54) ; 23,962 cubic yards at Devils Elbow (mile 64); 5,763 cubic yards at Seven Mile Island (mile 132); 825 cubic yards at Whites Creek (mile 182.4); and 7,733 cubic yards at Nashville Harbor (mile 191). The cost of maintenance was $70,872.40. b. Above Nashville: Construction under the modified project for this section of the river was commenced during the year, with the award and initiation of work under a continuing contract for construction of the Old Hickory lock and dam structures. The following approximate quantities of the major work items were accomplished: Earth excavation, 461,100 cubic yards; and compacted fill placed, 62,900 cubic yards. Work was also initiated under supply contracts awarded during the year for the following: Furnishing and delivery of four 35,000 horsepower turbines and governors; furnishing, delivery, and erection of four 31,250 kilovolt-ampere generators; furnishing and delivery of 2 main power transformers; and for furnishing one 275-ton traveling crane. Partial design of the power plant by contract was continued. Approximately 172 acres of land required for the dam site work area were acquired in fee simple. Land acquisition planningand and pre- 1402 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 liminary engineering and design studies on other phases of the Old Hickory project were continued. Other hired labor operations consisted of foundation exploration work incident to the development of detailed plans for the Celina and Carthage Dams. Drilling operations at the latter side were tentatively completed. Mapping of the Carthage Reservoir area by contract was initiated, and bids were received near the end of the year for mapping Celina Reservoir. The costs for new work were $1,443,848.57. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of navigation inspection and removing 6,265 cubic yards of mud and 58 snags from the channel. The cost of maintenance was $11,711.65. c. Operation and care of locks and dams: Locks A-F and 1-8, inclusive, were operated as required and the structures and appurtenances maintained in serviceable condition. The following items were repaired: Filling valves at locks A, C, 2, and 6; and emptying valves at lock A. The filling and emptying valves at lock D were reconditioned. Two dwellings and the operations building at lock E were reroofed, and the coping stone on the chamber walls at lock A and an air compressor at lock B were replaced. Lock pits A, B, D, F, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were dredged. Other operations consisted of revising the gate operating machinery at lock 4 and the sewage disposal system at lock B. Maintenance and improvement and reconstruction work was held to a minimum in compliance with policy concerning the use of critical materials and parts, and in view of the development of new navigation facilities now under way. The cost of operation and care was $518,525.37. The total costs during the fiscal year were $5,208,240.40, of which $4,607,130.98 was for new work, $82,584.05 for maintenance, and $518,525.37 for operation and care. The expenditures were $5,042,733.13. Condition at end of fiscal year.--a. Below Nashville: All locks and dams under the existing 6-foot navigation project for this section of the river have been completed, affording full project depth between the mouth and Nashville throughout the entire year. 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 8 percent complete. Preliminary work was about 40 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 82 percent complete at the close of the fiscal year. Work under four contracts for lock operating equipment to be furnished by the Government were complete. Construction of the dam has been contracted, and at the end of the year, orders for materials and mobilization of construction plant and equipment were in process. Acquisition of RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1403 lands, 124 acres in fee simple and 145 acres in easement, required for the lock and dam site, access road, and construction areas, has been completed. The Cheatham project as a whole was 17 percent complete. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1952, were $11,207,556.25, including $685,000 from Public Works funds. Of this amount, $10,571,299.73 was for new work, and $636,256.52 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. 1420), which also eliminated 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. Owing to recent cessation of river traffic above Carthage, Tenn., lock 8 was placed in an inoperative status on November 30, 1951. 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 navigation is usually possible from February 1 to May 1, but no period can be fixed during which it is reasonably certain. Navigation of vessels drawing over 4 feet is uncertain at all times. When the Celina gage reads 1 foot, 16-inch navigation is practicable, and for each additional foot of reading on this gage, the navigable depth is increased 0.8 foot. The expenditures for maintenance have kept the channel above Nashville fairly free from snags and surface obstructions. New work under the authorized modification of the existing project for this section of the river, as a whole, was 1 percent complete. Preliminary work was approximately 29 percent complete. Construction under the modified project was commenced in January 1952, when operations were initiated under a continuing contract for construction of the Old Hickory lock and dam structures. Work under that contract was approximately 8 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. Design of the power plant by contract was 75 percent complete. The contract for furnishing and delivering the power plant turbines and governors had been brought to about 12 percent completion, and work under the supply contracts covering generators, transformers, and powerhouse crane had been initiated. The land acquisition program also had been initiated with acquisition during 248558-53-vol. 2- 19 1404 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 the year of 172 acres required for the dam site and construction areas. The Old Hickory project as a whole was about 3 percent complete. The total costs for this section to June 30, 1952, were $5,771,161.12, of which $5,419,354.55 was for new work and $351,806.57 for maintenance. c. Operation and care of locks and dams: All locks and dams except 8 and 21 were in operation, the structures and appurtenances having been maintained in serviceable condition. The cost of operation and care since June 30, 1935, with funds from the appropriation "Maintenance and improvement of existing river and harbor works," was $6,514,871.79. The total costs under the existing project for the entire stream were $23,493,589.16, of which $15,990,654.28, including $685,000 from Public Works funds, was for new work, $988,063.09 for maintenance, and $6,514,871.79 for operation and care. The total expenditures were $22,928,996.60. 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 on June 30, 1952, $2,953,924.95, plus allotments for fiscal year 1953 of $15,055,000 for new work and $722,947.00 for maintenance, a total of $18,731,871.95, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1952_________-__ _____ -- New work: Cheatham lock and dam: Advance planning (July 1, 1952-June 30, 1953) .......

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 improvement of the river for a navigable depth of 9 feet at low water from the mouth to Knoxville, Tenn., a distance of about 650 miles, to be obtained by the construction of low dams; provided, that under the provisions of the Federal Water Power Act a high dam with locks may be substituted for any two or more of the low dams and built by private interests, States, or municipalities; and provided further, that in case high dams are built before the United States shall have built the projected locks and low dams which are to be replaced, the United States shall contribute to the cost of the substituted structures an amount equal to the estimated cost of the work of navigation for which substitution is made. (See H. Doc. 328, 71st Cong., 2d sess.) RIVERS AND HARBORS---NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1409 The estimated cost of the authorized project as contained in House Document 328, 71st 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 constructed under this authorization. The total estimated cost of new work completed and proposed for construction by the Corps of Engineers is $2,436,235, made in 1947. The current (1952) estimate of annual cost for operation and care of the 10 locks, and dam 1 (including the locks constructed by the Tennessee Valley Authority and operated by the Corps of Engineers) is $765,000. The current (1952) estimate of annual cost for channel maintenance 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 features of the locks and dams now comprising the existing 9-foot project: I Dimensions Name of project Miles above mouth Kentucky------------.............--.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1411 The functions of the Corps of Engineers since adoption of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 have been those of cooperation 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 accordance with the general navigation laws placing control and supervision over navigable waters in the Secretary of the Army, the Corps of Engineers: Operates and maintains all locks, lifts, or other facilities in aid of navigation; maintains navigation channels and safety harbors by performing all necessary dredging and snagging operations; examines and passes upon plans for all bridges, wharves, or other structures in navigable waters prior to construction, including construction plans involving the alteration or modification of existing channels; establishes harbor lines where essential to the preservation and protection of harbors; provides for removal of unlawful structures, including wrecks; cooperates and reviews plans of individuals, corporations-municipal or private-in the improvement of navigable waters at their own expense and risk; issues rules and regulations governing the opening and operation of drawbridges, the transportation and dumping of dredgings or other material into navigable waters; promulgates rules and regulations governing the use, administration, and navigation of navigable waters, including harbors thereof; compiles statistics of 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.-Publicuse river terminals with railroad connections, owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority, have been constructed at Decatur and Guntersville, Ala., and Chattanooga and Knoxville, Tenn. River terminals with railroad connections, municipally owned, have been constructed at Sheffield, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn. The other public terminals are mostly 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. Railroad inclines and sidings are available at Sheffield, Decatur, Hobbs Island, Guntersville and Bridegport, 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 Chattanooga, Tenn.; grain at Decatur and Guntersville, Ala., and Chattanooga, Tenn.; petroleum products at Sheffield, Decatur and Guntersville, Ala., and Perryville, Chattanooga, and Knoxville, Tenn. In addition to the foregoing there are many unimproved private land- 1412 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 ings along the river. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-No new work was accomplished. Maintenance by Government plant and hired labor consisted of navigation channel inspection; condition surveys; removing 527 snags from safety harbors and channels in the Kentucky, Pickwick, Guntersville, and Hales Bar pools; and driving timber dolphins as follows: Six 9-pile and one 18-pile clusters in Kentucky pool; one 7-pile cluster in Pickwick pool; and three 5-pile clusters in Guntersville pool. The cost of maintenance was $27,221.83. Operation and care of locks and dams: All locks were operated, and lock appurtenances and stand-by plant were maintained as required. Maintenance and improvement and reconstruction work was held to a minimum in compliance with current policy concerning use of critical materials and equipment. Major repairs were made as follows: Filling and emptying valves at Kentucky and Wheeler locks; all valves except one at Wilson lock; and a filling valve at Pickwick lock. Repair of the valves at Fort Loudoun lock was initiated. Construction of a car for the incline at Wheeler lock also was initiated. The following items were installed: New oil pumps on the gate and valve gear reducers and new cables on the floating guard wall at Kentucky lock; a new 2,300-volt electric feeder cable to lock 1; and an air compressor at Hales Bar Lock. Other operations consisted of relocating the transformer station at Wilson lock. The cost of operation and care was $572,392.13. The total costs and expenditures during the fiscal year were as follows : Costs Funds Expenditures Maintenance Regular__------................---------------------$27, 221, 83 Total...------------------------------ 27, 221.83 Operation and care Total $572, 392.13 $599, 613. 96 $605,065.03 572, 392. 13 599, 613. 96 605, 065.03 Condition at end of fiscal year.-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 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.

Location.-This project is located at Cumberland, Ky., on the Poor Fork of the Cumberland River approximately 23 miles above its confluence with the Clover Fork at Harlan, Ky. 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 United States Highway 119 Bridge and extending 6,000 feet downstream to a point about 2,100 feet below the Billips Avenue Bridge, involving a total excavation of 44,000 cubic yards of material. The estimated cost of new work (1952) is $79,800 for construction (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 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.-Nowork is scheduled for the fiscal years 1953 and 1954. Existing 8. 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 FLOOD CONTROL---NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1417 of the headwaters of Yellow Creek away from the present channel through the heart of the city. The series of canals and levees are about 4 miles in length, beginning on Bennetts Fork at the western edge of the town and ending at Yellow Creek near the Keystone Tanning & Glue Co. at the northern edge of the town. The cuts involved excavation of approximately 695,000 cubic yards of material, of which about 410,000 cubic yards were utilized in the levee system. Besides construction of the diversion channel, there was other incidental work, which included the installation of culverts and the relocation and rebuilding of roadways and bridges. The project diverts from the business district and from a large part of the residential section the floodwaters which originate in that part of the basin lying north and west of the city, thus affording protection, in a large measure, to life and property from these headwater floods which cause the greatest damage. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The cost of the completed project is $817,829.98. The current (1952) estimate of annual cost for maintenance is $5,800. Local cooperation.-None required. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: None. Maintenance.-Levees, canals, and appurtenances were maintained by hired labor at a cost of $4,259.33. The expenditures were $6,409.90, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-New work under the existing project was completed in March 1945, when final settlement was made with the city of Middlesboro in connection with the acquisition and transfer to the United States of rights-of-way and flowage easements. Construction of the canal and levee system, initiated in May 1938, was completed and the improvement placed in operation in December 1939. Relocation work was completed in September 1940. The total costs to June 30, 1952, were $857,543.31, of which $817,829.98, including $38,876.31 from Emergency Relief funds, was for new work and $39,713.33 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $857,356.62, including $38,876.31 from Emergency Relief funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1952, $173.36, plus an allotment of $8,500 for maintenance during fiscal year 1953, a total of $8,673.36, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1952_ $182. 69 Maintenance (July 1, 1952 to June 30, 1953) (hired labor) : Maintenance of levees, canals, and appurtenant works ___________, 540. 67 --------------- --------------------- 950. 00 Stream gaging-----Total --------------------------------------------- 8, 673. 36 The sum of $12,000 can be profitably expended for the following schedule of work during the fiscal year 1954: Ordinary maintenance and repairs----------------------------Extraordinary maintenance--------------------------Stream gaging-----------------------------------------------Total-------------- --------------------------------- $4, 000 7, 050 950 12, 000 1418 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

PINEVILLE, CUMBERLAND RIVER BASIN, KY. Location.--This project is located at Pineville, Ky., on the Cumberland River about 655 miles above the mouth. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a system of levees and concrete flood walls for the protection of Pineville and its residential suburb, Wallsend, 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 Cumberland River to rejoin the highway at a point 250 feet south of the intersection of Park Avenue and Maple Street near the upstream limit of the city; and about 3,500 feet of earth levee encompassing Wallsend on the right bank of the river, beginning and terminating within a distance of 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 Pineville proper and Wallsend, with appurtenant outlet works and intercepting sewers, for disposal of interior drainage; and necessary bridge and street modifications. The proposed works will afford protection for the city of Pineville and suburb Wallsend, against floods of 1946 magnitude (maximum of record) with a 3-foot freeboard. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. The estimated Federal cost of new work (1952) is $1,575,000; the estimated non-Federal cost is $625,000. 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, however, interest in the project was renewed, and informal assurances were furnished at a public hearing on April 27, 1946, and at a further meeting on December 22, 1947, relative to flood control in the upper Cumberland 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. FLOOD CONTROL--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1419 Conditionat end of fiscal year.-Detailedplanning for the project, scheduled for initiation during the fiscal year, was deferred owing to the press of other work. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended on June 30, 1952, $25,000, plus an allotment of $249,000 for new work during the fiscal year 1953, a total of $274,000, will be applied to planning and initiation of construction. The sum of $600,000 can be profitably expended for the completion of planning and the continuation of construction scheduled during fiscal year 1954.

BARBOURVILLE, KY. Location.-The project is located at Barbourville in Knox County, Ky., on the right bank of the Cumberland River at mile 635.2. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the protection of Barbourville, Ky., by construction of a system of levees with an average height of 15 feet beginning at the Louisville & Nashville Railroad tracks northeast of the town and extending westerly and southwesterly about 5,800 feet, thence southeasterly along the left bank of Richland Creek for approximately 6,300 feet, thence along the right bank of the Cumberland River in a northeasterly and southeasterly direction for approximately 4,000 feet, including relatively short concrete wall sections adjacent to the bridge spanning the river, thence easterly for about 900 feet terminating into the Louisville & Nashville Railroad embankment southeast of the town. The total length of the levees approximates 17,000 feet. Incidental construction includes 5 pumping stations with outlet works and intercepting ditches, for disposal of interior drainage, and 5 ramps at road and street crossings. The proposed works will afford protection for the town against the greatest flood of record (1946) with a freeboard of 3 feet. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved May 17, 1950. The estimated cost of new work (1952) is $2,090,000 for construction (Federal) and $270,000 for lands and damages (nonFederal). 248558-53-vol. 2- 20 1420 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 construction 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 abutment across the flood plain portion of the valley, and a concrete structure, 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 six 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 development of the water resources of the Cumberland River Basin, this plan in turn forming an integral part of the comprehensive plan of development for the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. At maximum controlled pool level, top of spillway crest gates, the reservoir will cover an area of 63,530 acres and provide a storage capacity of 6,089,000 acre-feet, of which 2,094,000 is allocated for flood control and 2,142,000 for power drawdown, leaving a minimum pool of 1,853,000 acre-feet available at FLOOD CONTROL----NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1421 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 constrpction 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 (1952) estimated cost of the project, including the six-unit power installation, is $82,700,000. The estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the project (1952) is $440,000. Local cooperction.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during flcal year.-New work (contract) : Construction operations for completion of the dam and its appurtenances were concluded. Work accomplished under the prime contract consisted principally of about 45,050 cubic yards of common excavation and the placement of 24,700 cubic yards of rolled earthfill. The supply contracts for materials and equipment furnished by the Government were completed except in instances involving final settlement. Continued operations under the contract for construction of the power plant consisted primarily of placement of the following items: Reinforcing steel, 560,000 pounds; structural steel, 241,700 pounds; concrete, 11,400 cubic yards; structural tile, 36,300 square feet; crushed stone base, 1,800 cubic yards; topping course, 510 cubic yards; and concrete pipe, 1,270 linear feet. In addition, the plant operating systems were brought to adequate stages of completion. Work progress under the various supply contracts was satisfactory. Of the six 45,000-kilowatt power generating units provided, four were placed in commercial operation during the year, the fifth was essentially readied for operation, and installation of the sixth unit was brought to about 91 percent completion. Under an agreement entered into with the State of Kentucky for highway and highway bridge relocations made necessary by construction of the project, the State prosecuted work under 8 contracts, 3 of which were awarded during the year. Work under 7 of the contracts was completed. The agreement provides for reimbursement by the Government of its proportional part of the relocation costs. A contract for seeding and planting an area below the dam was awarded during the year, and approximately 300 acres were covered. New work (hired labor) : Land acquisition activities were completed except for trial of certain condemnation cases still pending in court. A total of 128 acres was acquired in fee simple and 110 acres in road and flowage easements. Construction by hired labor involved partial completion of permanent buildings, grounds, roads, and utilities at the dam site. Rehabilitation of a portion of the construction village as operators' housing was completed. Operation and maintenance: The dam was operated and the structure and appurtenances maintained as required. Stream gaging was continued. Operation of the power plant was commenced when 1422 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 generator unit No. 6 was put in service commercially on October 6, 1951. Power units Nos. 5, 4, and 3 were placed in operation on October 31, 1951, December 16, 1951, and March 17, 1952, respectiv4ly. The units were operated continuously during the rest of the ye4r, except for a few periods of short duration for tests and maintenance purposes. Under existing regulations, the total net energy generated, amounting to 793,633,000 kilowatt-hours, was made available through the Department of the Interior to the Tennessee Valley Authority for distribution. Regulation of the reservoir necessitated periodic releases throughout the year. During the period July 1 to October 5, 1951, releases were made as required to maintain the pool level at or near spillway crest elevation. Releases for power, exclusively, were made during the periods October 6 to November 15, 1951, and April 18 to June 30, 1952. During the period November 16, 1951 to April 17, 1952, practically continuous flood control and power generation releases were made except for short periods in February and March when the reservoir level temporarily receded to spillway crest elevation and releases were limited to those required for power generation. Flood control releases were also curtailed during the period March 27-29, 1952, in order to avoid adding to flood crest stages on the Ohio River. The maximum reservoir elevation of 741.3 feet, with a total storage of 4,969,000 acre-feet, occurred on December 23, 1951. The minimum storage during the year was 3,086,000 acre-feet, on June 30, 1952, corresponding to a pool elevation of 703.8 feet. The average pool elevation was 723.6 feet, which is 0.6 foot above the spillway crest level. The outflow varied from zero discharge on several occasions to a maximum of 41,800 cubic feet per second on January 9, 1952. During the occurrences of floods in December 1951, and in January and March 1952, the combined operation of the project and Dale Hollow Reservoir resulted in crest reductions on the Cumberland River at Celina, Tenn., of 16 feet during the December flood, 6.4 feet during the January flood, and 8.7 feet during the March flood. The combined operation of this project with Dale Hollow and Center Hill Reservoirs during the three floods resulted in crest reductions at the cities of Carthage and Nashville, Tenn., on the Cumberland River, of 12.6 and 5.2 feet, respectively, for the December flood; 11.9 and 8.4 feet, respectively, for the January flood; and 4.2 and 0 feet, respectively for the March flood. Activities under the reservoir management program, comprising shoreline sanitation, malaria control, conservation, land mar agement and disposal, and operation and maintenance of public use facilities, were continued. The following instruments were executed: 37 cabin site leases; 1 commercial lease for a seaplane base; 1 commercial wharf site lease; 3 road easements; and 3 transmission line easements. The costs were $7,658,709.60, of which $7,445,665.89 was for new work and $213,043.71 for maintenance. The expenditures were $8,521,978.86. FLOOD CONTROL--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1423 Condition at end of fiscal year.--The project as a whole was 93 percent complete. Preliminary work was 91 percent complete. Construction of right and left bank access roads and the provision of a temporary construction camp at the project site for Government inspection personnel were completed during early stages 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 only about 8 percent complete. A new continuing contract for completion of the dam was awarded, and work under that contract was commenced in September 1946 and completed in August 1951. Final closure of the dam was effected in December 1950, at which time the project was placed in operation for flood control. Construction of the power plant was initiated in November 1949, and at the end of the year was 95 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 4 contracts) ; reservoir clearing (under 5 contracts); cemetery removals under 3 contracts) ; waterworks and street construction for relocation of Burnside, 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, 97 percent complete; station service turbine and governor, 99 percent; 6 main unit generators, 97 percent; miscellaneous power plant equipment, 81 percent; and accessory electrical equipment, 87 percent. Work accomplished under agreement with and contracted for by the State of Kentucky under 21 contracts for highway and highway bridge relocations in the reservoir represented approximately 89 percent of the entire obligation of the Government under the agreement, with work under 20 of the contracts being completed. Work under an agreement with and contracted for by the Southern Railway System for railway and railway bridge relocations in the reservoir was complete. Work under a total of nine agreements covering relocations of roads, telephone and power lines, and other utilities also have been completed. Work under the contract for seeding and planting an area below the dam was approximately 66 percent complete. 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 essentially complete. Approximately 99 percent of the necessary lands have been acquired, about 92,233 acres having been acquired in fee simple, and 584 acres in road and flowage easements. Total costs to June 30, 1952 were $77,174,358.28, of which $76,890,280.55 was for new work and $284,077.73 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $75,599,459.18.

DALE HOLLOW RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, TENN. AND KY. Location.--Dale Hollow Dam is located on the Obey River 7.3 miles above its confluence with the Cumberland River (mile 380.9) at Celina, Tenn. It is in Clay County, Tenn., and is about 80 miles northeast of Nashville, Tenn., 28 miles north of Cookeville, Tenn., 13 miles west of Byrdstown, Tenn., and 3 miles east of Celina, Tenn. Dale Hollow Reservoir extends about 51 miles up the main stream, 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, Pickett, Overton, and Fentress Counties, Tenn. E isting project.-The plan of improvement provides for construction of a concrete gravity-type dam, 1,717 feet long and 185 feet in height above its lowest foundation; and a hydroelectric power generating plant. The dam consists of spillway and power intake sections across the flood plain portion of the valley width, flanked by nonoverflow transition sections terminating in the abutments. Four gatecontrolled 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 constructed. 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, leaving a minimum pool of 857,000 acre-feet available at all times for 1426 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 (1952) of the project, including the three-unit power installation, is $26,193,000. The current (1952) estimate of annual cost of maintenance and operation of the project 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, escalations, and final settlement under 2 supply contracts for materials and equipment furnished by the Government in construction of the power plant (initial 2-unit development) were continued. Incident to addition of the third and final power unit, operations were continued under 4 supply contracts for the major equipment items, including intake gate, turbine, generator, and transformer; and work was initiated under 8 additional contracts for accessory equipment awarded during the year. Installation of the third unit was contracted, but owing primarily to delay in delivery of the main unit turbine and governor, work was not commenced. New work (hired labor): The powerhouse operation and maintenance manual, and contract plans and specifications for installation of the third unit, including extension of the switchyard to provide for two additional transmission line connections, were completed. Except for trial of condemnation cases pending in court, land acquisition activities were completed. Construction operations by hired labor consisted of rehabilitation of a portion of the construction village as operator's housing and installation of a centralized lubrication system for the power plant turbines. Operation and maintenance: 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 a few periods of short duration for inspection and maintenance purposes. Under existing regulations, the total net energy generated, amounting to 174,961,800 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. The maximum release for this purpose was 3,930 cubic feet per second, and a minimum flow of zero occurred on several occasions when the plant was not in operation. The average pool elevation was 645 feet, which is 6 feet below the spillway crest level. Reservoir storage varied from a minimum of 971,000 acre-feet on October 30, 1951, corresponding to a pool elevation of 636 feet, to a maximum of 1,413,000 acre-feet on March 25 1952, corresponding to elevation 653.1. During the occurrences o1 floods in December 1951 and in January and March 1952, the combined operation of this project and Wolf Creek Reservoir resulted in crest reductions on the Cumberland River at Celina, Tenn., of 16 FLOOD CONTROL--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1427 feet during the December flood, 6.4 feet during the January flood and 8.7 feet during the March flood. The combined operation of this project with Wolf Creek and Center Hill Reservoirs during the three floods resulted in crest reductions at Carthage and Nashville, Tenn., on the Cumberland River, of 12.6 and 5.2 feet, respectively, for the December flood; 11.9 and 8.4 feet, respectively, for the January flood; and 4.2 and 0 feet, respectively, for the March flood. 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 following instruments were issued: 16 grazing leases; 6 agricultural leases; 2 commercial dock site leases; and 1 recreational license. The costs were $749,962.45, of which $516,729.93 was for new work and $233,232.52 for maintenance. The expenditures were $721,356.64. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Reflecting the addition of the third and final power unit, the project as a whole was 93 percent complete. Preliminary work was 94 percent complete. Work under the contract for construction of the dam and its appurtenances was initiated in March 1942. Final closure of the dam was effected in October 1943, at which time the project was placed in operation for flood control. The power plant, with two 18,000-kilowatt generating units (initial development) in commercial operation, was completed in April 1949. Generating units Nos. 1 and 2 were placed on the line on December 18, 1948, and January 26, 1949, respectively. Construction, by contract, of permanent housing and a comfort station at the project site has been completed. All other contracts pertaining to the initial development were complete except in two instances involving escalation and final settlement. Operations incident to provision of the third power unit was in progress at the end of the year, with percentages of completion for the principal work items being as follows: Intake gate, 3 percent; turbine and governor, 45 percent; generator 60 percent; and accessory electrical equipment, including main transformer, 34 percent. Acquisition of necessary lands for the reservoir has been completed, except for final processing of condemnation proceedings for two tracts acquired by declaration of taking on which final judgment has not been entered. The area acquired comprises 52,405 acres in fee simple, 89 acres of flowage easements, and 2 acres of road easements. 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 accomplished by contract. The total costs to June 30, 1952, were $25,358,703.76, of which $24,380,094.73 was for new work and $978,609.03 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $25,266,052.67.

TENN., DISTRICT 1429 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 McMinnville, 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 DeKalb, Putnam, White, and Warren Counties, Tenn. Existing project.--The plan of improvement provides for construction 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 abutment. The spillway contains six gate-controlled conduits and is surmounted 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 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 23,060 acres and 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 contained in the River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946. The (1952) estimated cost of the project, including the three-unit power installation, is $44,978,000. The (1952) estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the project 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 completed. Operations consisted principally of completion of work on architectural features of the powerhouse. 1430 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 New work (hired labor) : Real estate activities consisted of the acquisition in easement of 358 acres of land below the dam site which is subject to damages from reservoir operation. Construction operations toward completion of permanent buildings, grounds, and utilities at the dam site were continued. Rehabilitation of a portion of the construction village as operators' housing was completed, including construction of an electrical distribution system. General cleanup of the site area was commenced and 85 percent completed. Other operations included the construction of a storage room in the powerhouse and installation of handrailing on the powerhouse retaining wall. Operation and maintenance: The dam was operated and the structure and appurtenances maintained as required. Stream gaging was continued. Operation of the power plant was continuous throughout the year, except for a few periods of short duration for inspection and maintenance purposes. Under existing regulations, the total net energy generated, amounting to 426,355,400 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 required almost daily releases for the generation of power. Releases for power, exclusively, were made during the periods July 1, 1951, to January 28, 1952, February 4 to March 10, 1952, and March 17 to June 30, 1952. Flood control operation was necessary from January 29 to February 3, 1952 and from March 11 to March 16, 1952, with a maximum release ot 15,820 cubic feet per second on January 30, 1952. The average pool elevation was 635.9 feet, which is 12.1 feet below the spillway crest level. Reservoir storage varied from a minimum of 867,000 acre-feet in November 1951, corresponding to a pool elevation of 620 feet, to a maximum of 1,368,000 acre-feet in January 1952, corresponding to elevation 650.1. During the occurrences of floods in December 1951 and January and March 1952, the combined operation of this project with Wolf Creek and Dale Hollow Reservoirs resulted in crest reductions at Carthage and Nashville, Tenn., on the Cumberland River, of 12.6 and 5.2 feet, respectively, for the December flood; 11.9 and 8.4 feet, respectively, for the January flood; and 4.2 and 0 feet for the March flood. 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 following instruments were issued: 43 agricultural and grazing leases; 4 recreational leases; 3 transmission line easements; 1 transmission line permit; and 1 Air Force training and recreational permit. The costs were $696,682.40, of which $472,241.68 was for new work and $224,440.72 for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,277,932.83. Condition at end of flscal year.--The project as a whole was 98 percent complete. Preliminary work was 95 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 FLOOD CONTROL-NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1431 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 various supply contracts for materials and equipment furnished by the Government, were concluded during the year. Generator units Nos. 1, 2, and 3 were put in service commercially on December 11, 1950, January 17 and April 11, 1951, respectively.

STEWARTS 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 southeasterly 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 construction 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, respectively, from the right and left abutments, connected by a concrete structure 829 feet in length, comprised of spillway and adjoining nonoverflow sections. The spillway, to be located in the flood plain adjacent to the right bank of the river channel, will contain 5 gatecontrolled conduits and will be surmounted with 7 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 nonoverflow 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 consist of 1 generating unit of 13,500-kilowatt capacity. The project is one FLOOD CONTROL---ASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 1433 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 draw-down, leaving a minimum pool of 194,000 acre-feet available at all times for public use and conservation purposes. The drainage area controlled will be 865 square miles or 94 percent of the Stones 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 one-unit power installation (1952) is $21,180,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Minor expenses only were incurred in connection with preliminary engineering and design studies. Operations were suspended throughout the major part of the year owing to press of other work. The costs for new work were $538.79. The expenditures were $348.68. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction has not been commenced. Preliminary work was 44 percent complete. Detailed project plans, reservoir mapping (272 square miles), and contract plans and specifications for the dam have been completed. Land acquisition planning studies were approximately 73 percent complete. The total costs to June 30, 1952, were $379,980.47 for new work. The expenditures were $379,681.01. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1952, $149,799.20, will be applied to accounts payable ($308.63), to completion of land acquisition planning, and to partial preparation of contract plans and specifications for the power plant.

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, slackwater 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 locks the extreme ;height of floods exceeds 40 feet. All flood heights are referred to upper-pool gages. RIVERS AND HARBORS LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1441 The cost of new work for the completed project which contemplated the rehabilitation of the 5 State locks and dams and the extension of slack water to the 3 forks at Beattyville, was $4,176,749. The estimate of annual cost of maintenance of the Kentucky River (1952) is $85,000 for maintenance of the channel and $312,000 for operation and care of locks and dams. 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, 45th 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.

Terminal facilities.-Tanks for receiving gasoline are located at or near Carrollton, Frankfort, and Camp Nelson, Ky. Six inclines and one unloading tipple for receiving coal, two chutes for delivering coal, one derrick for receiving sand and gravel, one conveyor for shipping, and one crane for receiving sand, gravel, etc., all small in character and mostly used intermittently only, are located at various points on the river. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance: Work during the fiscal year consisted of initiation of the removal of shoals, snags and slides required to permit the resumption of coal traffic 1442 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 between the mouth of the river and Beattyville, Kentucky in the pool of Dam 14. Maintenance (operation and care) :Work during the fiscal year consisted of the operation and maintenance of the locks and dams as required to provide locking service for existing traffic. This consisted of commercial traffic in petroleum products and sand and gravel at locks 1 to 7, inclusive, and pleasure boat traffic at locks 1 to 14, inclusive. The costs were $4,943.36 for maintenance of channels and $189,719.13 for operation and care of locks and dams; a total of $194,662.49. The total expenditures, all from regular funds, were $190,870.62. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1917. The work accomplished under the project has been the rehabilitation of the five old State locks and dams and the 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." 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, inclusive, are of concrete construction and the masonry is generally in good condition. The controlling navigable depth in the section covered by the existing project was 6 feet at the end of the fiscal year. Locks 1 through 7 were staffed for the lockage of a limited amount of commercial traffic using the river between the mouth and Camp Nelson, Ky. Each of locks 8 through 14 was staffed with a single employee for the care of reservations and the lockage of pleasure craft. Channel work and improvement and reconstruction work required to place the river in condition for prospective coal traffic had been initiated. Operation of locks 8 to 14, inclusive, subsequent to June 30, 1953, is contingent on the development of sufficient commercial navigation in this reach of waterway to justify the continued maintenance of navigation facilities at Federal expense. The costs to the end of the fiscal year were $4,176,749.05 for new work, $681,865.80 for maintenance, and $2,481,184.18 for operation and care of locks, all from regular funds, and $51,000 for operation and care of locks and dams from the appropriation "Maintenance and operation of dams and other improvements of navigable waters," a total of $7,390,799.03. The expenditures were $7,386,475.30, of which $7,335,475.30 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 on June 30, 1952, $69,370.02, plus an allotment of $313,150 for maintenance made in the fiscal year 1953, a total of $382,520.02, will be applied as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT Accounts payable June 30, 1952------------------------------ 1443 $7, 948. 38 Maintenance: Clearing channel, mouth to Beattyville in pool of dam 14 (hired labor, July 1, 1952, to June 30, 1953) ----------------- 44, 537. 00 Maintenance (operation and care) of locks and dams 1 through 14, including work required for handling prospective coal traffic: Operation ------------------------------------------145, 000. 00 Ordinary repairs -------------------------------------30, 000. 00 Improvement and reconstruction----------------155, 034. 64 Total maintenace (operation and care) -----------------Total for all work 330, 034. 64 .-----------------------------------. 382, 520. 02 The sum of $305,000 can be profitably expended for the following schedule of work during fiscal year 1954, including the operation of locks 8 to 14, inclusive, provided the prospective commerce is sufficient to justify the expenditure.

Existing project.-This provides for the purchase of improvements made prior to 1884 by the State of Kentucky, consisting of locks and 1444 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 dams 1 to 4, Green River, and 1, Barren River, which gave a continuous 4-foot depth for navigation from Bowling Green, on the Barren River, to the mouth of Green River; the reconstruction of lock 2, Green River; the upstream extension of slack-water navigation on Green River to Mammoth Cave, Ky., by the construction of locks and dams 5 and 6 and by the removal of snags and slides; the construction of new locks at dam 1, Barren River, and at dam 5, Green River; the raising of the crest of dam 5, Green River, 2 feet, by means of a movable A-frame top; the improvement of Nolin River by the removal of obstructive bars, boulders, overhanging rocks, and snags; and the improvement of Bear Creek by removing snags and widening 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 7,3/4 miles; and for Bear Creek, Ky., for a distance of 8 miles above its mouth. The navigable depth of the improved portions is limited to 5.5 feet by the elevations of the existing lock miter sills. Fluctuations in stage vary considerably at the different locks. At lock 3, Green River, ordinary fluctuations due to high stages are from 12 to 15 feet above the pool level, and at lock 1, Barren River, from, 7 to 10 feet above pool. The maximum stages of record are 34 feet above normal pool stage at lock 3, Green River, and 29 feet at lock 1, Barren River. These stages were obtained during the floods of 1937 and 1913, respectively.

Local cooperation.-TheRiver and Harbor Act of July 3,1930, provides that in connection with the improvement of Bear Creek, Ky., local interests are to contribute $10,000 to the first cost of the dredging, provide necessary rights-of-way at the bends, furnish without cost to the United States satisfactory areas for the disposal of excavated material, and assume all flowage damages along Bear Creek. These conditions have not been met. 1446 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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, and two on Barren River, for handling petroleum products. 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, and slides as required to maintain an adequate channel between the mouth of the Green River and Bowling Green, Ky., on the Barren River. Maintenance (operation and care) : Work during the fiscal year consisted of the operation and maintenance of locks and dams 1 to 4, Green River and lock and dam 1, Barren River. The costs were $33,174.63 for maintenance of channels and $100,316.44 for operation and care of locks and dams, a total of $133,491.07. The total expenditures, all from regular funds were $134,715.19. 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 section of river between Bowling Green, Ky., and the mouth of the Green River 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 Aug. 1, 1951. These two locks and dams are not worthy of further maintenance. New work remaining to be done consists of the removal of overhanging rock ledges at Whistle Mountain on Nolin River, provided for by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, and the improvement of Bear Creek, provided for by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930.

ROUGH RIVER, KY. Location.-This stream is one of the principal tributaries of Green River and lies wholly within the State of Kentucky. It rises in Hardin County, flows westerly 136 miles, and empties into Green River at Livermore, 71 miles from the mouth of that river. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts, Kentucky quadrangles: Central City, Hartford, Whitesville.) Existing project.-This provides for clearing the river of obstructions and for the construction of a lock and dam to carry slack water to Hartford, Ky. The new work provided for having been completed, the project now contemplates the maintenance of the lock and dam and keeping the river channel free from snags and other obstructions 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 tolO feet above pool level. During the flood of 1937 a stage of about 26 feet above pool level was reached. 1448 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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, recreation, and reduction of pumping requirements at the Mill Creek barrier dam. It will be an 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 embankment 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 equivalent to 6.3 inches of runoff 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 controlled by local interests, clearing of the permanent pool area, relocation of sanitary sewer outside the reservoir area and alteration of affected roads and utilities where required for access to property and developments in the vicinity of the reservoir. The estimated cost of the project (1952) is $3,562,501; of which $520,801 is to be contributed by local interests. The estimated annual cost for operation and maintenance of the project (1952) is $26,700.

SNAGGING AND CLEARING UNDER AUTHORITY OF SECTION 2 OF THE FLOOD CONTROL ACT APPROVED AUGUST 28, 1937, AS AMENDED The Flood Control Act approved August 28, 1937, as amended by the Flood Control Acts approved August 11, 1939, August 18, 1941, and July 24, 1946, authorized the allotment of not to exceed $1,000,000 from the flood ccdhtrol appropriations for any one fiscal year for the removal of accumulated snags and other debris from, and the clearing and straightening of channels in navigable streams and tributaries thereof when such work is advisable in the interests of flood control; provided that not more than $50,000 shall be expended for this purpose for any tributary from the appropriations for any one fiscal year. The locations of work approved for performance under this authority are on the South Fork of Saline River, Ill., the Rough River at Falls of Rough, Ky., and Plum Creek, Ky., a tributary of Salt River. The work on the South Fork of Saline River consists of clearing and removal of debris from the channel from the junction of the South and Middle Forks upstream along the South Fork for a distance of about 15 miles to a point about one-fourth mile downstream from the crossing of United States Highway 45. On Rough River, at Falls of Rough, the work consisted of the removal of a drift rack island about 1,100 feet long from the stream channel, which was completed in 1949 (see annual report for 1950). On Plum Creek, the work consisted of clearing and straightening the existing channel, which was completed in November 1950 (see annual report for 1951). There were no operations during the fiscal year. There has been no work accomplished on South Fork of Saline River, due to all bids received being excessive. There were no costs or expenditures during the fiscal year. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year were $26,568.88 for maintenance work. The expenditures were $26,568.88.

INSPECTION OF COMPLETED PROJECTS The Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, and subsequent acts require local interests to furnish assurances that they will maintain 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 (1952) estimate of the annual cost of this work in the Louisville District is $16,000. Maintenance inspections were made during the fiscal year of 13 completed units of projects transferred to local interests for maintenance 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 were $11,456.33 for maintenance and the expenditures were $11,637.14. The total costs to the end of fiscal year were $22,419.91 and the expenditures were $21,680.35, all for maintenance. The balance unexpended on June 30, 1952, $1,819.65, plus allotment for fiscal year 1953 of $16,000 for maintenance, a total of $17,819.65, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable ------------------------------------------Maintenance inspections (20 projects) -----------------------Total for all work------ $739. 56 17, 080. 09 ----------------------------- 17, 819. 65 The sum of $16,000 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1954 for maintenance inspections of completed units of local protection projects.

CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS, OHIO RIVER For report on this improvement, see page 1382. 2. OHIO RIVER OPEN CHANNEL WORK For report on this improvement, see page 1389. 3. MUSKINGUM RIVER, OHIO Location.-The Muskingum River, 112.45 miles in length, lying entirely in the State of Ohio, formed by the junction of the Walhonding and Tuscarawas Rivers at Coshocton, Ohio, flows in a southerly direction and empties into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project.-This authorized the taking over, restoration, maintenance, and operation of the State works and plant to provide slack-water navigation between lock 1, at Marietta, Ohio, and Dresden, Ohio, a distance of 92.85 miles. Navigation is afforded by 11 locks and dams and 4 short, lateral canals. The maximum depth which it 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 distance 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 estimated cost of limited operations and real estate management services in connection with this project, under the condi- RIVERS AND HARBORS-IHUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1515 tions as stated in the paragraph "Condition at end of fiscal year," is $15,000 annually. 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. Operation and care of the locks and dams were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. An index map of Muskingum River is printed in House Document 251, 78th Congress, first session. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Aug. 5,1886 Mar. 3,1905 June 26, 19341 Work authorized For taking over from the State of Ohio the locks and dams then in existence (I to 10) and the restoration of these works by the United States.

VA., DISTRICT 1517 Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are numerous public and private landings, generally unimproved, at points accessible to the public highways, and in a few instances having railroad connections. Two yards, principally equipped for unloading sand and gravel, are situated at miles 0.2 and 76.4. Numerous landings, not equipped are used to stockpile sand and gravel, principally for State and county roads. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance. Dredging of the channel at Jackson Island and Bells Bar in pool 10 was accomplished by hired labor, 2,359 cubic yards of material being removed. The cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $2,124.27. Operation and care: The locks and dams were operated as required and essential repairs were made thereto and to the appurtenant structures to maintain them in a serviceable condition. Hired labor dredging, totaling 18,617 cubic yards, was performed in the approaches and lock chambers of locks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11, in order to permit the passage of commercial traffic. The cost of operation and care during the fiscal year was $66,912.23. The total cost of maintenance for the fiscal year was $69,036.50; expenditures were $59,918.36. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1910. The locks and dams are in fair to poor condition except dam 10, which has been breached due to its deteriorated condition. General commercial navigation on the waterway above dam 1 has declined to the extent that Federal expenditures for continued operation of this section of the waterway is no longer justified. Accordingly, operations at locks 2 to 11, inclusive, were discontinued as of midnight June 30, 1952 and these locks placed in a standby status. Lock and dam 1, only, is being operated and maintained by the Federal Government. The available depth for navigation is 4.5 feet from the mouth to lock 2. The channel is not being maintained above this point. For details of locks and dams, see table under paragraph "Existing project". The total cost under the existing project to the end of the fiscal year was $2,188,491.08, of which $301,911.53 was for new work, $156,522.04 for maintenance, and $1,730,057.51 for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $2,189,821.19. In addition, the sum of $3,995,355.89 was expended between April 7, 1887, and June 30, 1936, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

MUSKINGUM RIVER RESERVOIRS, OHIO Location.--The Muskingum River lies in southeastern Ohio and, with its tributaries, drains approximately 8,000 square miles. Its headwaters rise about 25 miles south of Lake Erie and it flows into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project.--This project provides for the construction, operation, 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 reservoirs as set forth in an official plan prepared by the Corps of Engineers and adopted by the Muskingum watershed conservancy district of Ohio, the sponsoring agency. Subsequent amendments to the official plan provided, among other things, for the elimination of one reservoir and the inclusion and later elimination of a project for channel improvement of the Tuscarawas River at Massillon, Ohio. Allotments totaling $27,190,000 were made from December 1933 to July 1937 by the Public Works Administration to aid in financing construction of this project. The project was operated and maintained by the conservancy district from July 1938 to August 1939, when it was taken over by the Corps of Engineers for maintenance and operation in accordance with the provisions of the Flood Control Act approved August 11, 1939. 248558-53-vol. 2--27 1532 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 include any expenditures for lands, easements, and rights-of-way heretofore or hereafter purchased from said district by the United States. The first allotment under this authorization was made June 29, 1939, from the War Department Appropriation Act of June 28, 1939. The Flood Control Act approved August 11, 1939, contained the provisions that the Muskingum River reservoirs be included in the flood control plan for the Ohio River Basin authorized in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938; that section 2 of the latter act apply to those reservoirs; and that the conservancy district be relieved of any obligation to maintain and operate the dams. The Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946, authorized such channel rectification works or other measures at or below the Muskingum River reservoirs as in the discretion of the Chief of Engineers and the Secretary of War may be found necessary to provide for the most efficient operation of those reservoirs, at an estimated cost of $2,200,000. The current (1952) total estimated cost of the project to the Government excluding the cost to the Muskingum watershed conservancy district is $40,672,800, of which $18,491,500 is for construction and $22,181,300 is for lands and damages. The (1952) estimate of annual Federal cost of operation and maintenance of the dams and reservoirs is $238,000. For further details see annual report for 1946, page 1734.

VA., DISTRICT 1541 18. 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 project consists of a rolled earthfill dam having a maximum height of 84 feet and a total length of 944 feet; controlled outlet works discharging through a tunnel located in the left abutment; and an uncontrolled spillway in the ridge running south from the dam site. The reservoir created, providing for the storage of 17,600 acre-feet for flood control and 9,300 acre-feet for conservation and water supply for a total of 26,900 acre-feet controls 32.8 square miles of the drainage area of East Branch, and necessitated the relocation of 0.5 mile of county roads and 0.7 mile of pipe line. The reservoir affords substantial protection to the Sunday Creek Valley and serves as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system for the protection of the Hocking River and Ohio River Valleys. The reservoir also provides an assured water supply to villages, industries, and coal-mine operations in the Sunday Creek Valley. The existing project was authorized under the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944. The current (1952) 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 (1952) estimate of annual Federal cost of operation and maintenance of the dam and reservoir is $27,000. Local cooperation.-Localor State interests are required to furnish funds for the project equal to the difference between the total estimated first cost and the capitalized flood-control benefits. House Bill 496 passed by the Ohio State Legislature appropriated funds to cover local and State obligations relative to the project. By agreement entered into January 22, 1948, between the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, and the division of conservation and natural resources department of agriculture, State of Ohio, the State contributed $495,000 to be applied toward the cost of construction of the project, and retained $290,000 of the total amount to be contributed, for acquisition of lands and interests in land being acquired by the State in the reservoir area. However, the State has been unable to acquire certain reservoir lands and has requested the United States to acquire such lands. The State has contributed $80,000 additional 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: Hired labor work during the year consisted of continuing the installation of stream gaging facilities and construction of rainfall stations and completing alterations to water system and removal of debris from channel below the dam. Work in connection with the acquisition of land was continued, two flowage easements in the reservoir area being acquired. 1542 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Operation and Maintenance: The reservoir was operated to reduce local flooding as required and necessary repairs were made to the structures and appurtenances. During the general flood of January 1952, 2,245 acre feet of flood storage was utilized, resulting in reductions in stages of 1.8 feet on Sunday Creek at Glouster, Ohio and 0.1 foot on Hocking River at Athens, Ohio. Storage of water for filling the conservation pool was initiated on February 2, 1952 and the pool reached its conservation level on April 1, 1952. The total cost was $125,024.25, of which $108,114.90 was for new work and $16,909.35 was for maintenance. The expenditures were $124,172.95. The foregoing cost and expenditures include the amount of $59,206 contributed by the State of Ohio. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and the reservoir is in operation, affording substantial protection to the Sunday Creek Valley as well as serving as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system for the protection of the Hocking River and Ohio River Valleys. The reservoir also provides an assured water supply to villages, industries, and coal mine operations in the Sunday Creek Valley. Construction of the dam was started in March 1948 and completed in February 1950. All construction operations are 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, 16 road easements and 2 flowage easements. Land remaining to be acquired by the United States consists of 1 tract in fee and 11 flowage easements. Of the 50 tracts of land to be acquired by the State of Ohio in the reservoir area, 49 tracts have been consummated. Payment for the other tract is pending in the State court. The entire project is about 98 percent complete. The total cost to the end of the fiscal year was $2,645,643.68, of which $2,604,185.89 was for new work and $41,457.79 was for maintenance. The expenditures were $2,641,608.71. The foregoing cost and expenditures include the amount of $554,206 contributed by the State of Ohio.

ALLEGHENY RIVER, PA.-CONSTRUCTION 1636 OF LOCKS AND DAMS Location.-This river rises in northern Pennsylvania, flows northwestward into New York, thence generally southwestward to Pittsburgh, Pa., where it joins with the Monongahela River to 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 the completed project is $18,157,860.22. The estimate of annual cost for channel maintenance (1952) is $35,000. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care of locks and dams (1952) is $390,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Aug. 5,1886 June 3,1896 Work authorized For lock and dam 1. (Fixed dam contemplated.

H3 1576 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The city of Pittsburgh has constructed a modern wharf for river freight. There are numerous privately maintained terminals and docks consisting of tipples, various types of hoists, chutes, and pipe lines for use in loading and unloading coal, coke, sand, gravel, limestone, cement, petroleum products, steel products, and other commodities. The transshipment of freight between river and railroads is handled at privately owned river-to-rail terminals. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-Maintenance:Snagging operations, revision to navigation charts and reestablishment of control monuments and bench marks for navigation surveys were performed by hired labor. Maintenance (operation and care) : The locks and dams were operated as required and necessary repairs and improvements made thereto and to the appurtenant structures to maintain them in a serviceable condition. In addition to ordinary repairs to structures and plant, the following major work was performed by hired labor: at lock 3, repairs were made to the upper lock gates and sill, and to the lower lock gates; and at lock 6, the esplanade was resurfaced. The costs were $351,664.03, of which $4,231.15 was for channel maintenance and $347,432.88 for operation and care of locks and dams. The expenditures were $330,434.70. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1951. All locks and dams are in good condition. The navigation channel has been widened at certain points and, in general, maintained to project depth thus affording adequate depth for passage of commercial tows.

TYGART RIVER DAM, W. VA. Location.-The dam site is located on the Tygart River in Taylor County, W. Va., about 22.7 miles above the mouth of the river at Fairmont, W. Va. It is 2.25 miles upstream from Grafton, W. Va., and about 78 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located 1578 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 in Taylor and Barbour Counties, W. Va. (See U. S. 'Geological Survey charts for Fairmont, Thornton, and Belington, W. Va.) Existing project.-The construction of a concrete gravity dam was authorized by the Public Works Administration January 11, 1934, and adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935. This dam is 1,921 feet in length at the top and rises 207 feet above the river bed at the uncontrolled center spillway section, which is flanked by abutment sections 23 feet higher. The structure provides for the gross controlled storage of 289,600 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 1,183 square miles. Approximately 278,400 acre-feet of this controlled storage are available for flood prevention in the Monongahela and Ohio Valleys, while the remaining 11,200 acre-feet are permanent 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 the completed project is $18,431,843.54. The current estimate (1952) of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the project is $46,000. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Maintenance (operation and care): The reservoir was operated effectively as required, and necessary repairs made to the dam and related structures. General heavy rains from late in the day on January 25,1952 through early on the 27th caused a flood along the Ohio River which crested at 29.75 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and at 44 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. (lock 12). The reduction made by this reservoir at Pittsburgh was 0.6 foot and in combination with the other 5 completed reservoirs above Pittsburgh was 3.45 feet; at Wheeling the reduction was 0.7 foot and in combination with the other 7 completed reservoirs above Wheeling was 4.1 feet. The Monongahela River crested at locks 15 and 5 at 12.9 and 22.6 feet (upper gages) respectively, with an estimated reduction resulting from Tygart Dam of 3.4 feet at lock 15 and 1.3 feet at lock 5. However, a minor flood occurred along the Monongahela River from lock 4 downstream to lock 2. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 1100.8 on the 29th, or 90.8 feet above winter pool, representing an impoundment of 112,300 acre-feet above minimum pool, or about 40 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. Major flood benefits were achieved by this reservoir along the upper Ohio River Valley between Pittsburgh and Wheeling, and were estimated as follows: Pittsburgh damage district (lock 2, Allegheny River and locks 2, Monongahela River to mile 25.5, Ohio River), $1,230,700; Wheeling damage district (mile 25.5 to mile 109, Ohio River), $1,107,100. The benefits along the Monongahela River were $89,500. Heavy rains during January 1-4, 1952 caused a minor rise along the Monongahela River. The water stored during this rise reduced the period of suspension of navigation by 1 day. Five other rises occurred, during which suspension of navigation along the upper end of lock 15 pool, Monongahela River, was averted for various periods by reservoir storage; the first occurred on December 8-9, the second on December 31, the third on March 11-12, the fourth on March 23-24, RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1579 and the fifth on May 12-13. The first 2 occasions averted suspension of navigation by one-half day and the latter 3 by 1 day. The water stored during the fifth rise caused the reservoir pool to rise to elevation 1109.5 on May 14 or 31 feet above the low-water storage guide curve. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impoundment of 54,200 acre-feet above the storage schedule, or about 27 percent of the usable flood storage capacity of the reservoir for that date. During protracted dry periods in August, September, and October, runoff was deficient in the Monongahela River Basin, so that normal pool stages were maintained in the Monongahela River only by the release of navigation storage. The critical period totaled 87 and 33 days, respectively, for the upper and lower Monongahela River. The direct benefits to navigation for the year are estimated to total $435,000 for low-flow augmentation in the Monongahela River. During August 30-31, the outflow was regulated to facilitate the demolition of dam 11 on the Monongahela River and also supply the additional storage needed to establish the new pool level at Morgantown lock and dam. The outflow was reduced on September 15 to aid in the recovery of the body of a drowned child near Grafton, W. Va. During the remainder of the year routine operations were made in accordance with the storage schedule, except on the occasion of 11 minor rises when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. The costs were $36,483.97, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $34,366.91. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The authorized project is 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.

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. Geological Survey charts for southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.) Previous projects.-These provided for acquisition by the United States in 1897 of original locks 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 improvement 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 of 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. Construction of Morgantown lock and dam was the initial step in the replacement program, and replaced locks and dams 10 and 11. Hildebrand and Opekiska locks and dams will replace locks 12 to 15, in- RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1581 clusiye. 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.

RIVERS AND HARBORS--PITTSBURtGH, PA., DISTRICT 1583 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-toriver 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: Reconstruction of locks 2: Engineering and design continued, involving review of engineering questions, substitutions in materials due to procurement difficulties and review of construction shop drawings in connection with construction of the 110-foot lock chamber. Construction of the 110-foot lock chamber and appurtenances was continued throughout the year. The work performed under continuing contract consisted of installing the downstream portion of the river cofferdam and removal of same; installation of the upstream portion of the river cofferdam and installation of a single-skin cofferdam for use in connection with construction of the lock walls and appurtenant structures. Construction of the downstream end of the lower guide wall and the United States Steel Co.'s settling basin backwall, and sewer installation was completed. Removal of the old land lock wall, guide wall and lower miter sill lock floor was essentially completed in addition to the removal of the old lock operating machinery. Excavation to rock was started on the upper portion of the land lock wall and guide wall and concreting started in 8 monoliths. Work was commenced on the upstream portion of the upper guide wall and consisted of installing 6 bank steel sheet piling supporting cells for protection to the United States Steel Co.'s high-tension tower. Morgantown lock and dam: Engineering and design was continued, involving preparation of plans and specifications for bank protection below the right abutment of the dam, review of shop drawings and "as-built" drawings. Contracts for removal of old lock and dam 11, alteration and protection to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and furnishing a stiffleg derrick and hoist were completed. Alterations to sewers, city of Morgantown, W. Va. and fabrication of an emergency cofferdam beam and needles were continued by contract. Land acquisition and related work was essentially completed. Government hired labor com- 1584 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 menced construction of a toe wall and repairing the eroded area of the right bank below the abutment. Dam 8: A definite project report establishing a plan of improvement was completed; however, detailed studies were also in progress with consideration being given to an alternate plan of improvement. Hildebrand Lock and Dam: Planning work was initiated, involving contract core drilling operations, field surveys and office studies in connection with preparation of a definite project report. Maintenance: A general survey from the mouth of the river to lock 15 was completed except for final drawings. Condition surveys were made at various locations and dredging to project dimensions performed. A total of 23,850 cubic yards of material was removed from the channel at several locations and deposited in disposal areas by the United States derrick boat Monallo. Maintenance (operation and care) : The locks and dams were operated as required and necessary repairs and improvements made thereto and to the appurtenant structures to maintain them in a serviceable condition. In addition to ordinary repairs to structures and plant and the emergency repairs to the abutment of dam 2 by contract, the following major work was performed by hired labor: at locks 3, gate operating machinery and anchorages were repaired; at locks 5, the land and river chambers were unwatered, the valves, sills and other underwater parts repaired, and lower gates replaced in the river chamber; at locks 2 to 6, installation of a visual signal system was continued. The costs were $4,366,582.69, of which $2,904,522.81 was for new work, $44,618.29 for channel maintenance, and $1,417,441.59 for operation and care at locks and dams. The expenditures were $4,214,557.66. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The locks and dams are in operation and are complete except for reconstruction of locks 2, raising the crest of dam 8, and replacement of locks 12 to 15, inclusive, by construction of Hildebrand lock and dam and Opekiska lock and dam. A controlling depth of 9 feet in the navigation channel is maintained from Pittsburgh to the upper reaches of pool 8 which has a controlling depth of approximately 7 feet. The recent construction of Morgantown lock and dam provides for a 9-foot channel from Morgantown dam to lock and dam 12. Upon completion of improvements at dam 8, and construction of Hildebrand lock and dam and Opekiska lock 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 of the river at the mouth. Reconstruction of the 56-foot lock (river chamber) at locks 2 was commenced by contract January 7, 1949, and was accepted as complete June 29, 1951. Construction of the 110-foot lock (land chamber) was initiated by contract June 26, 1951, and is approximately 34 percent complete. The river cofferdam is in place, as well as most of the skin cofferdam required for construction of the lock and guide walls. Concreting in the lower portion of the lower guide wall is complete and concreting started in a number of monoliths in the lock wall and upper guide wall. Con- RIVERS AND HARBORS-PITTSBURGH, PA., 1585 DISTRICT struction of Morgantown lock and dam was started by contract September 9, 1948 and accepted as complete December 22, 1950. All miscellaneous appurtenances pertaining to the new lock are either complete or under contract. Relocations and land acquisition are essentially complete. In connection with the proposed improvements at dam 8, a definite project report is complete and detailed studies of an alternate plan of improvement are in progress. Work on a definite project report for Hildebrand lock and dam is in progress. 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; construction of Hildebrand lock and dam which will replace existing locks and dams 12 and 13; and construction of Opekiska lock and dam to replace existing locks and dams 14 and 15.

S. ARMY, 1952 4. YOUGHIOGHENY RIVER, PA. Location.-This river, the principal tributary of the Monongahela, rises in Preston County, W. Va., near the western boundary of Maryland, flows northward through Maryland into Pennsylvania, thence northwestward to empty into the Monongahela River at McKeesport, Pa. Its length is 123 miles. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for southwestern Pennsylvania, western Maryland, and northern West Virginia.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts approved June 25, 1910, and January 21, 1927. For further details see page 1274, annual report for 1929, and page 1261, annual report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the canalization of the river from the mouth to West Newton, Pa., a distance of 19.3 miles, so as to provide a navigable depth of 9 feet by the construction of two locks and dams. The estimated cost of new work (1952) is $8,785,000. The current (1952) estimate of annual cost for channel maintenance, is $25,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved July 3,1930 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 9, 61st Cong., 2d sess.). The project was modified by the Chief of Engineers September 7, 1934, to provide for 2 locks and dams in lieu of 3 locks and dams previously authorized (no printed report). A map of the river is printed in House Document No. 82, 56th Congress, first session. The Chief of Engineers is authorized to revise the plans and estimates to meet any changes in conditions. Terminal facilities.-Privatelymaintained terminals for unloading coal, sand, gravel, manufactured products, etc., ample for present requirements, exist at McKeesport, Pa. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No new work or maintenance operations were performed. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No canalization has been done on the existing project. The effect of pool 2, Monongahela River, normally permits movement from the mouth to 15th Street, McKeesport, Pa., by commercial tows. However, due to silting, the channel has a present depth of 6.8 feet which permits the loading of barges to only two-thirds capacity. The total costs and expenditures since the adoption of the existing project were $124,539.25, all for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No work is scheduled for the fiscal years 1953 or 1954.

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 Survey charts for Tionesta, Tidioute, and Sheffield, Pa.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a floodcontrol reservoir dam of the earthfill type with separate uncontrolled saddle spillway and tunnel outlet works. The dam is 1,050 feet long 24 8558-53-vol. 2-31 1596 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 permanent storage. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936 and June 28, 1938. The cost of the completed project is $5,213,401.10. The (1952) 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work: Engineering and design work was completed, consisting of preparing plans and specifications for reservoir development. These operations completed all work on the project. Operation and maintenance: The reservoir was operated for flood control, as required, and necessary repairs made to the structure and to the operators' quarters and grounds throughout the year. In connection with reservoir development activities, work consisted of maintaining public use areas. General heavy rains from late in the day on January 25, 1952, through early on the 27th caused a flood along the Ohio River which crested at 29.75 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and at 44 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. (lock 12). The reduction made by this reservoir at Pittsburgh was 0.8 foot and in combination with the other 5 completed reservoirs above Pittsburgh was 3.45 feet; at Wheeling the reduction was 0.8 foot and in combination with the other 7 completed reservoirs above Wheeling was 4.1 feet. Along the Allegheny River a minor flood occurred between lock 9 and lock 2. The Allegheny River at Franklin, lock 7 and lock 4 crested at 15.45, 23.1 and 23.4 feet (upper gages at locks) with estimated reductions resulting from Tionesta Dam of 1.45 feet at Franklin, Pa., and 0.9 foot at lock 7 and lock 4. Flood stage and nuisance flooding were averted at Franklin, Pa. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 1147.6 on the 29th or 62.6 feet above minimum pool, representing an impoundment of 72,500 acre-feet above that pool or about 60 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. Major flood benefits were achieved by this reservoir along the upper Ohio River Valley between Pittsburgh and Wheeling and were estimated as follows: Pittsburgh damage district, $1,751,900; Wheeling damage district, $1,262,400. Along the lower 46 miles of the Allegheny River valley above Pittsburgh, the benefits were estimated as follows: New Kensington damage district (to mile 29), $520,700; Kittanning damage district (mile 29 to mile 46), $191,800. Heavy rains during January 16-20 produced a major rise which resulted in the reservoir reaching the highest level during the year, elevation 1151.6 on the 21st or 66.6 feet above minimum pool. This FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., 1597 DISTRICT represents an impoundment of 80,700 acre-feet above minimum pool, or about 67 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. This elevation is the highest attained since the reservoir was put in operation in 1940. The Allegheny River at Franklin, Pa., crested at 14.95 on the 18th with an estimated reduction of 1.45 feet, thus preventing the occurrence of a nuisance flood. During the remainder of the year routine operations were made except on the occasion of 17 minor rises when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. The total costs were $57,226.64, of which $14,407.27 was for new work and $42,819.37 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $59,666.59. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam and its 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. Construction of the dam was started in May 1938 and completed in January 1941. All work relative to relocations and acquisition of land is complete. The total acreage 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.

EAST BRANCH, CLARION RIVER RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. Location.-The dam site is located in Elk County, Pa., on the East Branch of the Clarion River above Middle Fork, approximately 7 miles above the junction of the East and West Branches of the Clarion River at Johnsonburg, Pa., and approximately 151 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located entirely in Elk County, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for Mount Jewett, Pa.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a reservoir dam of the rolled earthfill type with gate-controlled concrete tunnel under right abutment and a paved uncontrolled spillway on the left abutment slope. The dam, 1,725 feet long at the top and rising 184 feet above the stream bed, will provide for the gross controlled storage of 84,300 acre-feet, from a tributary drainage area of 72.5 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 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 project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Acts approved June 28, 1938, and December 22, 1944. The estimated cost of the project (1952) is $9,489,000. The 1952 estimate of annual cost of maintenance and operation of the project is $34,000. Local cooperation.-Section2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Engineering and design work was continued during the year by hired labor, involving design of operators' quarters, permanent warehousing and utilities, and specifications for clearing the reservoir area. In addition, a master land use plan was completed. Construction of the embankment and spillway by contract was FLOOD CONTROL-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1599 continued. Operations performed consisted of completing the embankment, which involved the placing of 717,000 cubic yards of random and impervious fill material and placing a total of 88,000 cubic yards of rock fill for upstream slope protection. Work on the spillway was essentially completed and involved excavation of 122,000 cubic yards of rock and lining of the spillway with approximately 35,000 cubic yards of concrete. Construction of the access road, grading of borrow areas and contractor's disturbed areas were also continued. Construction of a trash boom was completed by hired labor. A contract for clearing the reservoir area was awarded and out of an estimated 914 acres to be cleared approximately 875 were completed. Acquisition of land and related work was continued. Operation and maintenance: During the first week in June, when the clearing of the reservoir area was satisfactorily advanced, the outlet works were closed off sufficiehtly to build up the reservoir to minimum pool level. This rise was very gradual, since flows at Johnsonburg were low. It was necessary at this time to obtain minimum pool for the general operation and maintenance features in the intake structure. Commencing the last week in June, the inflow was passed in conformance with the low-water schedule at Johnsonburg, the reservoir being maintained at minimum pool. The total costs were $2,401,295.76, of which $2,398,327.45 was for new work and $2,968.31 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,637,098.10. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The open-cut excavation for the outlet works was started June 1947 and completed May 1948. Construction of the outlet works commenced June 8, 1948 and acceptance of the work was made May 29, 1951. A contract for furnishing operating equipment and its installation in the control tower of the outlet works is complete. Construction of the embankment and spillway was initiated July 20, 1949, and is 98 percent complete. Reservoir clearing is approximately 96 percent complete. Land acquisition and related work is approximately 88 percent complete. The total acreage involved is 2,072 acres and consists of 1,252 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 820 acres. Of a total of 62 tracts, 54 have been acquired to date. The dam was placed in operation during June 1952 for flood control and stream flow regulation (water supply and pollution abatement). Work remaining to be done consists of engineering and design work and acquisition of land by hired labor, completing construction of the embankment and spillway, reservoir clearing operations, landscaping, construction of operators' quarters, permanent warehousing and utilities, paving the access road to the dam and construction of a parking area and public use facilities. The total costs at the end of the fiscal year were $8,592,333.84, of which $8,589,365.53 was for new work and $2,968.31 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $8,144,471.84.

MAHONING CREEK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. Location.-The dam site is located on Mahoning Creek in Armstrong County, Pa., 21.6 miles above the junction of the creek with the Allegheny River. It is about 61/2 miles southeast of New Bethlehem, Pa., and about 51 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located in Armstrong, Ind., and Jefferson Counties, Pa. FLOOD CONTROL-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1603 ,(See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Rural Valley and Smicksburg, Pa.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a floodcontrol reservoir dam of the concrete gravity type with a gate-controlled center spillway flanked by abutment sections joining the valley sides. The dam is 926 feet long at the top, rises 162 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 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 the completed project is $6,421,344.78. The (1952) estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation 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.-Operation and maintenance: The reservoir was operated for flood control, as required, and necessary repairs made to the structure and to the operators' quarters and grounds throughout the year. In connection with reservoir development activities, work consisted of maintaining public use areas. General heavy rains from late in the day on January 25, 1952 through early on the 27th caused a flood along the Ohio River which crested at 29.75 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and at 44 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. (lock 12). The reduction made by this reservoir at Pittsburgh was 0.7-foot and in combination with the other 5 existing reservoirs above Pittsburgh was 3.45 feet; at Wheeling the reduction was 0.8-foot and in combination with the other 7 existing reservoirs above Wheeling was 4.1 feet. The Allegheny River at locks 7 and 4 crested at 23.1 and 23.4 feet (upper gages) with an estimated reduction resulting from Mahoning Dam of 0.9 foot at both locks. However, a minor flood occurred along the Allegheny River from lock 9 to lock 2. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 1,145.9 on the 29th or 70.9 feet above minimum pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impoundment of 40,100 acre-feet above minimum pool, or about 58 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. Major flood benefits were achieved by this reservoir along the upper Ohio River Valley between Pittsburgh and Wheeling and were estimated as follows: Pittsburgh damage district, $1,532,900; Wheeling damage district, $1,262,400. Along the lower 46 miles of the Allegheny River Valley above Pittsburgh, the benefits were estimated as follows: New Kensington damage district, $520,700; Kittanning damage district, $191,800. 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. 1604 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

CONEMAUGH RIVER RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. Location.-The dam site is located on the Conemaugh River in Indiana and Westemoreland Counties, Pa., 7.5 miles above the junction of Conemaugh River and Loyalhanna Creek, which form the head of Kiskiminetas River. It is about 2 miles northeast of Tunnel- FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1609 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 floodcontrol reservoir dam of the concrete gravity type with a gatecontrolled center spillway flanked by abutment sections joining the valley sides and an earth embankment terminating in the right abutment. The dam, 1,265 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 authorized by the Flood Control Acts approved June 22, 1936, and June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of the project (1952) is $48,648,700.

LOYALIIHANNA 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 Saltsburg, Pa., and about 29 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located entirely in Westmoreland County, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for Latrobe, Pa.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a floodcontrol reservoir dam of the concrete gravity type with a gate controlled center spillway flanked by abutment sections joining the valley sides, and an earth embankment section terminating in the left abutment. The dam 960 feet long at the top, rises 114 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 penstock is contained in the structure for possible future generation of hydroelectric power. The reservoir is operated as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley, generally. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Acts approved June 22, 1936 and June 28, 1938. The cost of the completed project is $5,452,862.11. The (1952) 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 and results during fiscal year.-Operation and maintenance: The reservoir was operated for flood control, as required, and necessary repairs made to the structure and to the operators' quarters and grounds throughout the year. In connection with reservoir development activities, work consisted of maintaining public use areas. General heavy rains from late in the day on January 25, 1952 through early on the 27th caused a flood along the Ohio River which crested at 29.75 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa. and at 44 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. (lock 12). The reduction made by this reservoir at Pittsburgh was 0.45 foot and in combination with the other 5 existing reservoirs above Pittsburgh was 3.45 feet; at Wheeling the reduction was 0.5-foot and in combination with the other seven existing reservoirs 1614 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 above Wheeling was 4.1 feet. The Allegheny River at lock 4 crested at 23.4 feet (upper gage) with an estimated reduction of 0.5-foot resulting from Loyalhanna Reservoir. However, a minor flood occurred along the Allegheny River below the mouth of Kiskiminitas River of which Loyalhanna Creek is a tributary. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 947.5 on the 29th or 37.5 feet above minimum pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impoundment of 29,200 acre-feet above minimum pool, or about 31 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. Major benefits were achieved by this reservoir along the upper Ohio River Valley between Pittsburgh and Wheeling and were estimated as follows: Pittsburgh damage district, $981,700; Wheeling damage district, $789,800. Along the Allegheny River the benefits were estimated at $289,800. During the remainder of the year routine operations were made except on the occasion of 19 minor rises when some water was stored and released as river conditions permitted. The total costs were $26,381.50, all for maintenance. The total expenditures were $41,467.16. 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.

ELKINS, OHIO RIVER BASIN, W. VA. Location.-The city of Elkins is located on the Tygart River in north central"Randolph County, W. Va., approximately 155 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa. It is situated at the downstream end of a long, broad reach of the upper Tygart Valley, approximately 75 miles above the mouth of the river. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for Elkins, W. Va.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for diverting flood discharges from the upstream arm of the loop of the natural river channel into an artificial cut-off channel, thereby by-passing the city of Elkins. The improvement consists of a fully impervious rolled-earth upstream diversion dike, approximately 1,250 feet long; a diversion or cut-off channel, approximately 1,600 feet long, 140 feet wide and 15 feet deep; a downstream protection dike, approximately 2,500 feet long; controlled inlet and outlet conduits through the dikes; a pondage basin within the protected area to store storm run-off during diversion periods; and an incidental pondage basin upstream from the diversion dike to aid low-water flow. The structures of the project will be adequate to provide complete protection of Elkins against the maximum flood of reasonable expectancy. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated Federal cost of the project (1952) is $1,783,000; the estimated non-Federal cost is $40,000. The (1952) 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. Operationsand results duringfiscal year.-New work: Negotiations for flowage easements in the upper reach of the Tygart River above the diversion dam were in progress. Maintenance: Stream gaging and channel maintenance operations were performed during the year. 1616 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 The total costs were $27,989.35, of which $27,032.02 was for new work and $957.33 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $28,646.40. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-Construction of the flood protection works was commenced in May 1946 and completed in May 1949. The project, except that portion of channel maintained by the Federal Government, has been operated and maintained by the City of Elkins since March 31, 1949. All work in connection with relocations is complete. Land acquisition and related work is approximately 84 percent complete. The total acreage involved consists of 43.19 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 711,625 acres. Work remaining to be done consists of concluding negotiations for flowage easements in the upper reach of the Tygart River above the diversion dam. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all from regular funds, were $1,760,391.82, of which $1,756,049.37 was for new work and $4,342.45 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,759,276.66.

Location.-The city of Uniontown is located on Redstone Creek in Fayette County, southwestern Pennsylvania approximately 50 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa. (See U. S. Geological Survey Chart for Uniontown, Pa.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for channel improvements by widening and deepening with some realinement of Redstone Creek and Coal Lick Run. The stream banks and improvements thereon would be protected by slope paving and walls locally where necessary. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 30, 1948. The estimated Federal cost of the project (1952) is $1,347,000; the estimated non-Federal cost is $217,700. Local cooperation.-Specific requirements of local cooperation required by the authorizing act are set forth in report of the Chief of Engineers published in House Document 301, 80th Congress, first session. Informal assurances of local cooperation have been received from the city council of the city of Uniontown. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: None. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-No work has been performed on this project. Proposed operations.-No funds were available on June 30, 1952, and no work is scheduled for fiscal years 1953 or 1954. 24. YOUGHIOGHENY RIVER RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. Location.-The dam site is located on the Youghiogheny River about 74.2 miles above its junction with the Monongahela River at McKeesport, Pa. It is 1.2 miles upstream from Confluence, Pa., and about 57 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. The reservoir is located in Fayette and Somerset Counties, Pa., and Garrett County, Md. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Confluence, Pa., Accident, Md., West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a reservoir dam of the rolled earthfill 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 floodcontrol, navigation aid, and pollution abatement purposes. The reservoir is operated as required for flood prevention purposes as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system for the protection of Pittsburgh and the upper Ohio Valley 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 cost of the completed project is $9,674,904.27. The 1952 estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the project is $63,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. 1618 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Purchase and installation, of a water stage recorder was completed by hired labor. This completed all work on the project. Operation and maintenance: The reservoir was operated for the benefit of flood control and low water regulation, as required, and necessary repairs .made to the dam and its appurtenances and to the operators' quarters and grounds throughout the year. In connection with reservoir development activities, paving the access road at the Sommerfield recreation area was completed by contract. General heavy rains from late in the day on January 25, 1952, through early on the 27th caused a flood along the Ohio River which crested at 29.75 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., and at 44 feet at Wheeling, W. Va. (lock 12). The reduction made by this reservoir at Pittsburgh was 0.4 foot and in combination with the other 5 existing reservoirs above Pittsburgh was 3.45 feet; at Wheeling the reduction was 0.5 foot and in combination with the other 7 existing reservoirs above Wheeling was 4.1 feet. Along the Monongahela River a minor flood occurred at and above locks 2 which crested at 28.1 feet (upper gage). The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 1,436 on the 30th or 17 feet above winter pool representing an impoundment of 43,200 acre-feet above that pool, or about 29 percent of the usable winter flood storage capacity of the reservoir. Major flood benefits were achieved by this reservoir along the upper Ohio River valley between Pittsburgh and Wheeling and were estimated as follows: Pittsburgh damage district, $820,500; Wheeling damage district, $789,800. The benefits in the McKeesport damage district along the lower Youghiogheny River and locks 2 pool, Monongahela River were estimated at $56,200. On November 23, the reservoir had fallen to the lowest level in the 4 years of complete multiple purpose operation under the present schedule. It is noteworthy that during the 41-day period from November 23, 1951, until January 3, 1952, while satisfying the low water schedule at Connellsville, 88,000 acre-feet of water was stored in the reservoir, equivalent to 3.8 inches of runoff, bringing the reservoir level up from near minimum to winter pool. This represented a sharp recovery in the low water storage. On March 18-19, the outflow was regulated to insure open river conditions in the Ohio River below Montgomery Dam in order to help the Huntington district do some critical work at Gallipolis Dam. During the remainder of the year routine operations were made in accordance with the low water schedule except on the occasion of 19 minor rises when water was stored, with the excess above normal scheduled storage being released as river conditions permitted. Heavy rain during May 24-25 produced a minor rise which resulted in the reservoir reaching the highest level during the year, elevation 1,445.3 on the 27th or 6.3 feet above summer pool. This represents an impoundment of 18,400 acre-feet above summer pool, or about 19 percent of the usable summer flood storage capacity of the reservoir. On June 19 a blocking device was placed in operation to provide multiples of one-half position openings of the slide gates for more sensitive operation with respect to scheduled low water regulation at Connellsville. FLOOD CONTROL-PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1619 The costs were $106,468.83, of which $2,735.11 was for new work and $103,733.72 for maintenance. The expenditures were $103,572.89. 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 control, the reservoir is operated as a unit in the reservoir system designed for the protection of Pittsburgh and the reduction of flood heights in the upper Ohio Valley, generally. Construction of the dam was started in June 1940 and completed in May 1944. All work relative to relocations and acquisition of land is complete. The total acreage involved has been acquired, and consists of 4,033.19 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 0.48 acre. A license has been issued the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania covering fish conservation and management in the Pennsylvania portion of the reservoir. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all from regular funds, were $10,011,344, of which $9,674,904.27 was for new work and $336,439.73 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $10,003,466.24. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended, on June 30, 1952, $16,438.03, plus an allotment of $43,000 for maintenance for fiscal year 1953, a total of $59,438.03, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1952---------------------------- $7,877. 76 Operation and maintenance: Operation---------------------------------------27, 000. 00 -----------20, 500. 00 Ordinary maintenance and repair-4, 060. 27 Improvement and reconstruction_---__ ------------------Total for operation and maintenance____----------- ------- Total for all work -- _- 51, 560. 27 59, 438.03 --------------------- The sum of $59,000 can be profitably expended for the following schedule of work during fiscal year 1954: Operation and maintenance: Operation -------------------------------------------------------------Ordinary maintenance and repair -----Improvement and reconstruction ---------------Total for operation and maintenance ----------------------. $28, 500 20, 500 10, 000 59, 000 Cost and financial summary Fiscal year ending June 30 Total to June 30,1952, includ- ing fiscal years 1948 1949 1950 1951 1952 prior to 1948 New work: ........--------$299 200.00 ..--.-Appropriated-------Cost ... ....-------------$362, 747. 88 318,190. 50 $121, 870. 74 Expenditures......... 455,185. 34 321, 022. 84 121, 379. 95 Maintenance: Appropriated--------........

It is about 10 miles above the existing Milton Reservoir Dam and 35 miles upstream from Warren, Ohio. The reservoir is located in Portage, Mahoning, and Stark Counties, Ohio. (See U. S. Geological Survey charts for Warren, Ravenna, and Alliance, Ohio.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a reservoir dam with a partially controlled, concrete, gravity center spillway flanked by rolled earthfill 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 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 estimated cost of the project (1952) is $6,291,000. The (1952) estimate of annual cost for maintenance and operation of the project is $60,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operation and results during fiscal year.-New work; Engineering and design work was completed. Acquisition of land and related work continued and involved disposition of one remaining condemnation case. Operation and maintenance: The reservoir was operated effectively for flood control and for low-water regulation as required, and necessary repairs made to the dam and its appurtenant structures and to operators' quarters and grounds. Replacement of a wood guard rail and construction of stair wells were completed by hired labor. In connection with reservoir development, public use areas were maintained. Heavy rains during January 16 and 17, 1952, caused nuisance flooding along the Mahoning River in the vicinity of Warren, Ohio. The crest at Warren was 6.6 feet on the 18th with an estimated reduction of 1.7 feet resulting from Berlin Reservoir. During the rise, 15,400 acre-feet of water was stored, averting a flood of moderate proportions; while in combination with Mosquito Creek Reservoir light flooding was averted at Youngstown, Ohio. Nuisance flooding also was averted along the Beaver River at Wampum, Pa. The river at Youngstown, Ohio, crested at 10.9 feet on the 19th with an estimated reduction of 1.8 feet resulting from Berlin Reservoir and in combination with Mosquito Creek Reservoir reduced the river stage approximately 3.1 feet. The benefits achieved by this reservoir were estimated at $130,200 at Warren and $25,600 at Youngstown. General heavy rains from late in the day on January 25, 1952, until late on the 26th caused a flood along the Mahoning and Beaver Rivers. The Mahoning River crested on the 27th at 7.7 feet at Warren and FLOOD CONTROL---PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1621 at 13.3 feet at Youngstown. At Warren, the reduction made was 1.8 feet. At Youngstown, the reduction made by this reservoir was 2.8 feet and in combination with Mosquito Creek Reservoir was 3.9 feet. The Beaver River at Beaver Falls, Pa., crested on the 27th at 13.15 feet, while the reduction made by this reservoir in combination with Mosquito Creek Reservoir was 0.1 foot. The reduction along the Ohio River at Wheeling, W. Va., was 0.1 foot. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 1,026.7 on the 29th or 10.1 feet above winter pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impoundment of 30,600 acrefeet above winter pool, or about 55 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. Major benefits were achieved by this reservoir along the Mahoning River and Ohio River, and were estimated as follows: Warren damage district, $315,100; Youngstown damage district, $296,000; and Wheeling damage district, $155,400. Along the Beaver River the benefits were estimated at $7,800. On four occasions during December-April, 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 reservoir. The first minor rise of the Mahoning River was caused by intermittent moderate rainfall during December 4-7 and heavy rainfall during the 8th-9th; the second by heavy rain during February 3-4; the third by heavy rain during March 10-11; and the fourth by moderate rainfall during April 12-14, and heavy rainfall and sleet during the 14th-15th. During the rise in April, 17,000 acre-feet of water were stored, and in combination with Mosquito Creek Reservoir storage averted nuisance flooding on the 16th at Youngstown, Ohio. Due to the national steel strike which commenced on June 2, 1952 and ended July 25, 1952, the normally scheduled flows for the Mahoning River were modified. The outflow was reduced to meet only the minimum requirements along the Mahoning River, at the same time conserving the low-water storage for subsequent needs after termination of the steel strike. Routine operations were made the remainder of the year in accordance with the lowwater schedule for maintaining satisfactory flows at Leavittsburg and Youngstown, except on the occasion of 13 minor rises when some water was stored, with the excess above normal scheduled storage being released in coordination with Milton Reservoir discharge as river conditions permitted. The total costs were $168,642.79, of which $105,276.58 was for new work and $63,366.21 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $167,220.08. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The dam is complete and the reservoir is in operation for flood control and low-water regulation purposes in the industrialized Mahoning Valley below. Construction of the dam was started in January 1942 and completed in June 1943. All work relative to relocations is complete. Acquisition of land and related work is complete except for 2 small land cases. Work remaining to be done consists of settlement of the 2 remaining land cases. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all from regular funds, were $6,576,187.76, of which $6,287,120.46 was for new work and $289,067.30 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $6,570,707.53. 1622 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 and Kinsman, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.) Ecisting project.--This provides for the construction of a reservoir dam of the rolled earthfill 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, FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1623 rises 47 feet above the stream bed, and provides for the gross controlled storage of 104,100 acre-feet of water from a tributary drainage area of 97 square miles. Of this storage, 96,100 acre-feet are available for low-water regulation and flood-control purposes in Mahoning and Beaver Valleys below. A modicum of effect applies to the upper Ohio River Valley, below the mouth of the Beaver River. 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 storage. The reservoir is operated for flood-prevention purposes as a unit of a coordinated reservoir system. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The cost of the completed project is $4,035,400. The (1952) 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work: Engineering and design work was completed, including the preparation of a master land-use plan in conjunction with a plan developed by the State of Ohio. Operation and maintenance: The reservoir was operated effectively for flood control and low-water regulation, as required. Necessary repairs were made to the dam and its appurtenant structures and to operators' quarters and grounds. Heavy rains during January 16-17, 1952, caused a major rise in the reservoir, during which 10,500 acre-feet of water were stored. This reservoir, in combination with Berlin Reservoir, averted light flooding along the Mahoning River at Youngstown and also along the Beaver River at Wampum. The river at Youngstown crested at 10.9 feet on the 19th, while the reduction by this reservoir was 1.3 feet and in combination with Berlin Reservoir was 3.1 feet. The benefits achieved by this reservoir were estimated at $18,600 at Youngstown. General heavy rains from late in the day on January 25, 1952, until late on the 26th caused a flood along the Mahoning and Beaver Rivers. The Mahoning River crested on the 27th at 13.3 feet at Youngstown. The reduction made by this reservoir was 1.1 feet and in combination with Berlin Reservoir was 3.9 feet. The Beaver River at Beaver Falls crested on the 27th at 13.15 feet, while the reduction made by this reservoir in combination with Berlin Reservoir was 0.1 foot. The reduction along the Ohio River at Wheeling was 0.1 foot. The water stored during this flood caused the reservoir to rise to elevation 902.1 on the 28th or 2.2 feet above winter pool. This level, the highest reached during the year, represents an impoundment of 16,700 acre-feet above winter pool, or about 51 percent of the usable capacity of the reservoir. Major benefits were achieved by this reservoir along the Mahoning River and Ohio River, and were estimated as follows: Youngstown damage district, $192,200, and Wheeling damage district, $155,400. Along the Beaver River the benefits were $7,800. Following the flood of January 26-27, a field investigation of the channel capacity below the dam indicated that the outflow could be 1624 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 increased to 1,000 second-feet without causing damage. Trumbull County, Ohio, has made an appreciable improvement to the channel conditions and capacity of Mosquito Creek below the dam. It is noteworthy that during the 58-day period from November 6,. 1951, until January 3, 1952, while the reservoir was storing water for the subsequent low water season, unusually heavy precipitation occurred, resulting in a high volume of runoff. During this period, 32,200 acre-feet of water were stored, equivalent to 6.2 inches of runoff. Moderate rainfall during April 12-14, 1952, and heavy rainfall and sleet during the 14th-15th caused a moderate rise in the reservoir, 6.200 acre-feet of water being stored. Storage in combination with Berlin Reservoir storage averted nuisance flooding on the 16th at Youngstown. Due to the national steel strike which commenced on June 2, 1952, the normally scheduled flows for the Mahoning River were modified. The outflow was reduced to a nominal flow of 5 second-feet commencing on the third to maintain some flow in the channel below the dam, while the low-water storage was conserved for subsequent needs after termination of the steel strike. 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 13 minor rises when some water was stored and the excess above the low-water storage schedule was passed as creek conditions permitted. The total costs were $34,631.64, of which $7,547.90 was for new work and $27,083.74 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $33,869.58. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The dam and appurtenances are complete and are 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 relocations and acquisition of land is complete. The total acreage involved in the acquisition of land consists of 11,213.98 acres in fee simple and flowage easement over 275.21 acres. The State of Ohio has obtained a license from the Secretary of the Army for development and operation of recreation facilities in the reservoir area. The total costs to the end of the fiscal year, all from regular funds, were $4,196,443.50, of which $4,035,400 was for new work and $161,043.50 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $4,193,407.10. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1952, $11,092.90 plus an allotment of $36,500 for maintenance for fiscal year 1953, a total of $47,592.90, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1952---------__-------------- $3,036. 40 Operation and maintenance: Operation -------------------------------------------- 31, 500. 00 Ordinary maintenance and repair---------------------------9, 500. 00 Improvement and reconstruction--------------------------- 3, 556. 50 Total for operation and maintenance----------------_----- 44, 556. 50 Total for all work_ ..------------------- 47, 592. 90 FLOOD CONTROL---PITTSBURGH, PA., 1625 DISTRICT The sum of $29,500 can be profitably expended for the following schedule of work during fiscal year 1954: Operation and maintenance: ------------------------------------Operation----------------------Ordinary maintenance and repair---_ ---- $17, 500 12, 000 Total for operation and maintenance----------------------- 29, 500 Cost and financial summary Fiscal year ending June 30- Total to June 30, 1952, includ- 1948 1949 1950 1951 1952 ing fiscal years. prior to 1948 New work: ------------...---------...---------... ..----------Appropriated -------.......-.--.- $44, 808. 84 $15, 562. 72 $167, 441. 20 Cost-_ Expenditures ........-------- 46, 752. 76 6, 187. 67 172, 214. 61 $49, 620. 20 54, 169. 18 -----------$7, 547. 90 7, 913. 35 36, 000. 00 35, 933. 33 36, 881. 47 28, 000. 00 21, 587. 07 22, 523. 91 24, 000. 00 27, 083. 74 25, 956. 23 $4, 035, 400. 00 4, 035, 400. 00 4, 035, 400. 00 Maintenance: Appropriated---........-Cost--------------Expenditures---------......... 7, 800. 00 16, 093. 25 15, 495. 47 17, 000. 00 22, 812. 15 20, 694. 01 169,100. 00 161, 043. 50158, 007. 10. 27.

Local cooperation.-See pages 4-5 for requirements. The local protection 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 approved December 22, 1944 (Public Law 534, 78th Cong.) local interests were formally notified of the required conditions of local cooperation and of the 5-year period within which assurances must be furnished. Accordingly, the commissioners of Elk County and supervisors 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. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Operationsperformed during the year consisted of surveys, investigations, studies, and preparation of detailed plans for the development of the general comprehensive plan for flood control in the Ohio River Basin. The costs during the year were $27,811.18. The expenditures were $32,571.35. 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 $952,609.94 of which $935,883.99 was from regular funds and $16,725.95 from emergency relief funds.

FLOOD CONTROL--PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1639 BUFFALO CREEK, RACHEL, W. VA. Location.--Rachel,W. Va., is located on Buffalo Creek about 3 miles by creek below Mannington, Marion County, W. Va. The flood plain lies within a loop of Buffalo Creek. Mod Run, a small tributary from the north, enters Buffalo Creek at the northwest corner of the flood plain. Grays Run, another small tributary from the south, enters at the creek loop. (See U. S. Geological Survey chart for Mannington, W. Va.-Pa. quadrangle.) Existing project.--The tentative plan of flood protection provides for widening, deepening, and straightening the channel of Buffalo Creek for a distance of about 5,000 feet, supplemented by a deflection dike, 400 feet in length, along the left bank of Buffalo Creek downstream from the County highway bridge. The project would eliminate 75 percent of flood damages of the magnitude of the July 1912 flood (maximum of record) and all damages caused by lesser floods. Local cooperation.-See pages 4-5 for requirements. Assurances of local cooperation have not been furnished. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: None. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-No work has been performed on this project.

Lake Survey Chart No. 9.) Existing project.-This provides for rock-filled timber crib breakwater piers 350 feet in length from the east and west points of the bay to narrow the entrance; for constructing concrete sea walls across the ledge at the southeast corner of the harbor; 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 foot above low-water datum. The harbor is subject to extreme fluctuations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and baro1641 1642 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 metric conditions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work (1952) was $373,700. The latest (1952) approved estimate of cost for annual maintenance is $8,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1879 Aug. 30, 1935 Breakwaters and dredging of anchorage area of 26 acres to 16 feet.

Local cooperation.-The improvement authorized by the act of May 17, 1950, 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, rights of way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the construction 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 suitable 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 has 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 operations 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 parties 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, except for replacement of ice guard plates. The gravel spit along the eastern side of the harbor is too low to prevent waves from rolling into the harbor during severe storm periods. The total costs and expenditures 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.

Location.-The harbor is situated on the south shore of Lake Superior, 34 miles easterly from Duluth. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 96, Lake Superior.) Existing project.-This provides for the construction of 2 parallel, piers at the entrance 200 feet apart and 800 and 825 feet long, respectively, the piers to consist of 2 rows of piling filled in with slabs and topped with large rock; for the construction of a return pile revetment at the inner end of the east pier 45 feet in length, to preserve the sand spit from erosion; for dredging two inner channels 8 feet deep, 1 extending southerly 340 feet with a width of 60 feet, and one easterly 1,170 feet with a width of 70 feet, from an irregular shaped turning basin 15 feet deep at the inner end of the piers, and for dredging a channel 150 feet wide with a 15-foot depth between the piers. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Superior, which is 601.6 feet above mean tide at New York. The ordinary seasonal variation of water level extends from 0 to +1 foot above low-water datum. The harbor is subject to extreme fluctuations of water level of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric conditions, of about 1 foot above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimated cost for new work (1952) is $86,000. The latest (1952) approved estimate for maintenance is $20,000. The existing project was authorized by the following River and Harbor Acts: Acts Work authorized June 13,1902 June 30,1948 Construction of parallel piers and dredging_- ..-.----.

Local cooperation.-None required. Terminal facilities.-The 6 coal docks, 3 general merchandise wharves, and several minor wharves, all privately owned, are served by improvments made along Keweenaw Waterway. The city of Hancock has 2 publicly owned wharves. The village of Houghton has wharf improvements at the ends of 3 streets. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging in progress at the close of the prevous fiscal year was completed by removing 30,420 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth at a cost of $32,159. Removal of 532 lineal feet of old timber revetment was completed at a cost of $12,060. Repairs to the upper entrance breakwater were completed at a cost of $17,732. Condition surveys and waterway patrol cost $11,315. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $73,266.44 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $71,022.73. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 75 percent complete. The breakwaters are in good condition except for a weakness occurring in about 300 feet of the substructure of the breakwater at the lower entrance, and the stone-covered 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 indefinitely. The controlling depth on June 30, 1952, was 25 feet. To complete the project there remains the extension of the lower entrance breakwater, and the necessary alteration or replacement of structures due to deepening of channels. For work performed with regular funds, the costs of the existing project were $5,772,115.36 for new work and $3,178,679.25 for maintenance, a total of $8,950,794.61. The total expenditures were $8,961,379.09. 1656 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Doc. 751, 80th Cong. 2d sess.t 1 Contains latest published map. Local cooperation.--None required. Terminal facilities.--There is no rail connection with the harbor. There are one general merchandise wharf and several small fish wharves. The facilities are considered adequate for present needs. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairs to 774 linear feet of the east pier by contract which was 68 percent completed at the close of the previous fiscal year, was completed at a cost of $70,677. Repairs to both piers by hired labor and use of Government plant were accomplished at at cost of $41,314. The total cost was $111,991.65 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $120,986.46. 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 superstructure of the outer 744 feet of the east pier was rebuilt in concrete and the balance of this pier is in fair condition. The timber portion of the pile dike is in poor condition and the stone protection has settled. Some portions of the dike have been entirely destroyed by storm action. The controling depth in the channel at the end of the fiscal year was 13 feet. To complete the project there remains to construct an 800-linearfoot 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 $801,594.84 for maintenance, a total of $1,157,480.13. The total expenditures were $1,157,480.13.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-DULUTH, MINN., DISTRICT 1663 open to the public, 1 of which is served by a spur-track. There are also a number of minor wharves. These facilities are ample for the needs of existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--There were no operations during the fiscal year. Work completed in the previous year involved a total net expenditure of $125.93. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project as a whole is 76 percent complete. The protective jetty was completed in 1910 and reconstructed as a rubble mound in 1929. It is in good condition. The turning basin at the Warroad wharves was completed in 1911, and a channel 200 feet wide and 8 feet deep was completed in 1915. The controlling depth in the channel is 2.5 feet below low-water datum which is 1,056 feet above mean tide level at New York, for a least width of 100 feet. Annual maintenance is necessary. The shore revetment is in need of minor repairs. The work to be done to complete that part of the existing 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 and expenditures 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. Proposed operations.-There are no funds available at the end of the fiscal year. No operations are contemplated during fiscal year 1953. The sum of $10,000 can be profitably expanded during fiscal year 1954 for repairs to revetments.

Location.-This harbor is on the north shore of Lake Michigan, about 135 miles northeasterly from Green Bay Harbor and 220 miles northerly from Milwaukee. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 701.) Previous projects.--Adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880. For further details see page 1933 of annual report for 1915 and page 1422 of annual report for 1938. 1669 1670 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Existing project.-This provides for 2 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 an entrance channel 19 feet deep from that depth in the lake to a point about 300 feet shoreward from the harbor entrance, thence 18 feet to a point about 1,150 feet upstream 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 breakwaters are formed of stone-filled piling and timber cribs, capped with concrete superstructure; the west pier is formed of stone-filled plank cribs. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at 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 (1952) was $715,900, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,500. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Work authorized Documents 3, 1905 2,1907 Breakwaters and outer harbor_--------------__ ---Present location of west breakwater and pier at river mouth.

Local cooperation.-The act of May 17, 1950, provided that responsible local agencies shall furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary 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. All prior requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip there are 2 coal and building material wharves, 2 fishing wharves, and numerous lumberyard slips. While these facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, it is believed that a wharf, with rail connection and under public control, should be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Operations consisted of a condition survey, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $1,413.78 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $471.87. 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS MILWAUKEE, WIS., 1671 DISTRICT been done on the last modification of the project providing for present dimensions of channel. The construction of the breakwaters inclosing 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 channel to 18 feet over practically all the area below the carferry 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 191T and completed in August 1917. The breakwaters are in generally good condition. The plank-crib pier is in a very dilapidated condition and should be rebuilt. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 17.2 feet in the channel through the outer basin to the river mouth, thence 15.3 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 $281,382.94 for maintenance, a total of $588,635.12. The total expenditures were $589,825.77. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $223.61, plus an allotment of $15,000 during fiscal year 1953, a total of $15,223.61 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1952------------------------------$21.

Previous projects.-Priorto 1902 the harbor and river constituted two works. Harbor: River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1871, September 19, 1890, and March 3, 1899. River: River and Harbor Acts of September 19, 1890, July 13, 1892, and June 3, 1896. For further details see page 1933 of annual report for 1915 and page 1424 of annual report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the river by parallel piers 400 feet apart and about 1,870 and 2,681 feet in length for the north and south piers, respectively; for a channel 21 feet deep from that depth in the bay to the upper end of the Marinette municipal wharf, about 4,700 feet above the Ogden Street Bridge, and 10,700 feet from the outer end in the bay where the width is 600 feet, reducing to 300 feet between the piers and up to Ogden Street Bridge, thence 200 feet in the river to the upper end of the municipal wharf, with an enlarged turning basin 21 feet deep on 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. The cost for new work exclusive of modification, was $149,504.49, exclusive of amounts expended! on previous projects. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $26,000.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1673 Local cooperation.--Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip, there are numerous wharves for handling coal, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities. ,The city of Marinette has provided a public wharf. The facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, except that there is need for a public wharf owned by the city of Menominee with warehouse and railway connection. Operationsand results during fiscal year.---Operations consisted of a condition survey, by hired labor and use of Government plant, at a cost of $3,436.56. The total net expenditures were $3,449.07. 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 140 feet of the basin, where it shoals to about 8.4 feet along the extreme southerly limit. The channel above the municipal wharf has depths of 12 feet or more for a distance of 2,500 feet to the vicinity of the Marinette Yacht Club. The river is available for rafting and logging for about 102 miles above its mouth. The costs under the existing project were $149,504.49 for new work and $540,597.36 for maintenance, a total of $690,101.85. The total net expenditures were $690,114.36.

(See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 725.) 248558-53-vol. 2- 36 1676 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Previous project.--Adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 23, 1866. This project was modified by the River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1874; July 13, 1892; and June 3, 1896. For further details see page 1934 of annual report for 1915 and page 1431, annual report for 1938. Existing project.--This provides for an outer channel in Green Bay about 10 miles long and 22 feet deep, from that depth in the bay to the mouth of Fox River, varying in width from 500 feet at the outer end to 300 feet at the river mouth, including widening of the bend outside of Tail Point Light; for protecting the portion through Grassy Island, about 700 feet long, on the east side by a stone-filled timber pile revetment capped with concrete 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 2 upper railroad bridges to a depth of 22 feet; for a turning basin 22 feet deep at the mouth of East River; for a turning basin 20 feet deep above the Chicago & North Western Railway bridge near the southern limits of the city of Green Bay; for an inner channel in the river 150 feet wide and 18 feet deep extending upstream about 31/2 miles from the 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 level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work for the entire project, (1952) is $1,763,700 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and excluding $70,000 contributed and $30,000 to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance for the entire project is $50,000.

RIVERS AND HARBORS---MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1677 Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, provided that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent maintenance 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 108,500 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depths at a cost of $57,066. Soundings and surveys were taken at a cost of $5,711. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $62,777.09 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $63,400. 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 and completed in September 1938. Dredging the inner channel and turning basin to existing project depth was commenced in June and completed in October 1926. The east revetment at Grassy Island, built in 1869, is in generally good condition. The west revetment was entirely removed 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 18 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1679 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: Ordinary fluctuations Place Lower Fox River at De Pere Dam_.-________-Lake Winnebago ________________________--. ____ -- Extreme fluctuations Above Below Above Below mean mean mean mean stage stage stage stage Feet Feet _ 1.0 1.2 1.4 Feet 2.5 1.3 2. 2 Feet 4.0 3. 7 Upper Fox River at Berlin Dam _______________-__ 2. 7 1. 4 5. 7 2. 0 Wolf River at New London ______________. 5.0 2.6 8.8 3.0 ______.--. The estimated cost of new work (1952) is $2,838,300 for the upper river and $786,200 for the lower river; total, $3,624,500, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The (1952) estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $20,000 for the upper river, if project dimensions are once fully obtained, and $110,000 for the lower river; total, $130,000. The (1948) estimate of annual cost of operation and care of the locks and dams is $250,000.

C 0 H T d H - 1682 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Recommended modifications of project.-Legislation authorizing the abandonment of that part of the improvement of Wolf River above Fremont and the upper Fox River from the mouth of the Wolf to the Wisconsin River has been recommended in House Document 146, 67th Congress, second session. Local cooperation.-Nonerequired. Terminal facilities.-The wharf and landing facilities are in general adequate for the accommodation of existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance: Operations consisted of dredging 1,935 cubic yards of sand, silt, loose stone, and other materials from the basin and channel in the Menasha Canal at a cost of $4,239 and accomplishing general repairs to canal banks along the lower portion of the river at a cost of $5,663. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $9,901.71 for maintenance. The total net expenditures for maintenance were $11,296.60. Operation and care: Operations consisted of making necessary repairs to locks, dams, and lockhouses; including sandblasting and painting five sluice gates at Little Chute dam, installation of safety hand rails along both lock walls at Menasha lock, installation of asbestos-type shingle siding on lockmaster's dwelling at Kaukauna fifth lock; all at a cost of $20,644. The locks and dams were operated in accordance with the existing project, and gages were read the entire year, except that operation of the locks at Governor Bend, Fort Winnebago, and Portage, ceased on July ', 1951, and at Eureka, Berlin, White River, Grand River, Princeton, and Montello, ceased on July 27, 1951; the gates and valves at these upper Fox River locks were secured and cable barricades were installed around the locks; hand-operated winch-type haulovers for small craft were installed at Eureka, Berlin, White River, Grand River, Princeton, and Montello locks; all at a cost of $148,125. The right masonry lock wall of the upstream lock at Little Chute combined locks was rebuilt on top of a new concrete footing, drain tiles were placed along the back side of both lock walls, plank floor was replaced, upper right wing wall rebuilt, the upper gates of the upstream chamber were rebuilt and new concrete and steel hollow quoin installed, right tripod platform was rebuilt in concrete and steel and the walls and floor of the waste weir were reinforced with new concrete walls, at a cost of $71,510. The old concrete and timber miter sill at Appleton third lock was rebuilt in concrete and steel and the lower lock gates were rebuilt with six new steel valves and frames at a cost of $37,679. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost of operation and care was $277,958.83. The total net expenditures for operation and care were $287,590.54. The total cost of all work was $287,860.54. The total net expenditures for all work were $298,887.14. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project is about 44 percent complete (upper river 25 percent; lower, 83 percent). Twentytwo original locks and 9 original dams have been rebuilt; 5 additional locks and dams have been built by the United States. (See existing project for year of completion of each.) The structures and the RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1683 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 Wolf River: ___-_ 3. 5 Mouth to 1 mile below Partridge Crop Lake-----______ 2. 0 Thence to New London--------------------------------------1. 0-3.0 ___-- Harbors on Lake Winnebago_- ______-----_ The practicable drafts of vessels are about one-half foot less than the controlling depths, which prevail throughout the year except when the rivers are frozen, usually from December 1 to April 1. As commerce no longer existed on the upper Fox River from the Wolf River to the Wisconsin River, Federal expenditures for continuing the operation of the nine locks on this portion of the project was no longer justified. Accordingly the operation of these structures was discontinued in July 1951. The head of navigation for boat traffic is New London on the Wolf River and Portage on the upper Fox, except that during high water on the Wisconsin River boats can proceed from Portage to the Mississippi River. The work remaining to be done to complete the project is dredging in the upper Fox River and the upper portion of the Wolf River; also rock removal and deepening Neenah Channel on lower Fox River. Deepening Neenah Channel is no longer desired by navigation interests. The remaining rock removal is not needed unless there is a material increase in commerce. Additional dredging on the upper river is no longer considered necessary and is not justifiable from an economic standpoint. Except for Menasha lock, which should be rebuilt, the existing locks and dams are in generally fair to good condition. The costs under the existing project were $871,724.01 for new work and $5,513,443.71 for maintenance, including $2,931,878.96 for operating and care, a total of $6,385,167.72.

Location.-This improvement is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, 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. E~ting project.-This provides for an outer harbor or stilling basin protected by 2 converging breakwaters, each 1,344 feet in length, extending from the shore on either side of the easterly or Lake Michigan end of the canal; for a revetted canal 7,200 feet in length, varying in width from 160 to 250 feet; for a channel 23 feet deep in rock cut, extending from that depth in Lake Michigan to about 800 feet west of the east entrance of the revetted canal, a length of about 0.6 mile; thence a channel 22 feet deep through an additional 6,400 feet of revetted canal and through Sturgeon Bay to the vicinity of Sherwood Point, a length of about 8 miles, the total length of channel being about 8.6 miles; the width of channel being 600 feet in Lake Michigan, reducing to 200 feet through the harbor and 130 to 220 feet through the revetted canal, thence 250 feet through Sturgeon Bay to a point 5,400 feet northwest of the railroad bridge in the city of Sturgeon Bay and thence 500 feet to the vicinity of Sherwood Point; for a turning basin 20 feet deep, on the southwesterly side of the channel, southeasterly of the highway bridge, between the city and the Bushman wharves; and that the turning basin immediately west of the revetted canal be eliminated from the project. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled piling and timber cribs and have been provided with concrete superstructures; the revetments are formed of timber and steel piling, 886 feet having been provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The cost for new work for the completed project was $736,303 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $120,000. 1686 U. REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, S.

Terminal facilities.--As the canal and connecting channel is a through waterway, the only terminal facilities are in the city of Sturgeon Bay, 4 miles from the west end of the revetted portion of the canal. These facilities consist of 4 coal wharves, 4 shipbuilding yards, and 1 package-freight wharf. The city of Sturgeon Bay has provided a public wharf. There is also an inactive large stone wharf located about 5 miles northwesterly from the city of Sturgeon Bay. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Condition surveys were made by hired labor and use of Government plant; at a cost of $5,452.44 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $8,368.96. 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 entrance to the canal and dredging in the westerly section of the canal, to existing project depth, were commenced in May 1940 and completed in September 1940. Deepening and widening the middle section 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 back-filling. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 22 feet in the canal and 20 feet in the turning basin. The costs under the existing project were $736,303 for new work and $1,626,740.27 for maintenance, a total of $2,363,043.27. The total expenditures were $2,363,010.48. In addition, the sum of $125,259.17 (including $189,319.35 under previous projects) was expended between April 25, 1893, and June 30, 1917, on the operating and care of the works of improvement under the provision of the permanent indefinite appropriations for such purposes.

TWO RIVERS HARBOR, WIS. Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 82 miles northerly from Milwaukee and about 101 miles from Green Bay via Sturgeon Bay Canal. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 73.) Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871. For further details see page 1936 of annual report for 1915 and page 1450 of annual report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for 2 entrance piers at the mouth of Twin Rivers, 245 feet apart at the outer ends and 750 feet apart at the shore line, having lengths of about 1,642 feet and 1,720 feet for the north and south piers, respectively; for a channel 2,600 feet long and 18 feet deep extending from that depth in the lake to an inner, basin of the same depth at the confluence of the East and West Twin Rivers, the channel varying in width from 500 feet at the outer end to 200 feet between the piers; for a revetment about 450 feet long on the north side'at the inner end of the channel and for a small stilling basin beyond the shore line on the north side of the channel. The piers are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, and have been provided with concrete superstructure; the pile revetment on north side of channel is also provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage and extreme 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. 248558-53-vol.2 37 1692 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Terminal facilities.-These consist of a coal wharf and several fishing wharves. The city has provided a wharf for public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairs to the outer end of the south pier in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year were completed at a cost of $3,470. Condition surveys were taken at a cost of $2,313. Dredging done during the previous fiscal year involved a credit of $193. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $5,589.85 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $4,825.48. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 88 percent complete. The work remaining to be done consists of dredging a 10-foot width along each side of the lakeward portion of the entrance channel between the piers. This dredging was necessarily omitted to avoid removal of riprap along the entrance piers and thereby endangering them. The present width of channel is considered adequate for present and reasonably prospective commerce. The south pier, completed in 1883, and the north pier in 1908, are in generally good condition, except the outer end of the north pier which requires repairs. 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 depths at lowwater datum at the close of the fiscal year were 16.3 feet in the channel between the piers and 15 feet in the inner basin. East and West Twin Rivers are navigable for about 3 and 7 miles, respectively, from the harbor piers for craft drawing not more than 4 feet. The costs under the existing project were $74,721.66 for new work and $664,297.67 for maintenance, a total of $739,019.33. The total expenditures were $739,005.78. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $114.94, plus an allotment of $46,000 during fiscal year 1953, a total of $46,114.94 will be applied as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1693 Accounts payable June 30, 1952 $1-----------------------55 Maintenance : Operation of United States dipper dredge Kewaunee about AprilMay 1953-----------------------------------------30,101.39 Repairs to outer end of north pier with Government plant and hired labor during the fall of 1952 ___--------15,000. 00 Condition survey in March 1953 ---------------------------800. 00 Miscellaneous inspections and reports ------------------------ 200. 00 Total for all work---------------------------------- 46,114. 94 The sum of $34,500 can be profitably expended for the following schedule of work during the fiscal year 1954: Maintenance: Operation of United States dipper dredge Kewaunee during spring of 1954------------------------------------------- $33,000 Condition survey in April 1954 _----------------------------1, 300 Miscellaneous inspections and reports_------------------------200 Total for all work -_- ----------------------------- 34, 500 Cost and financial summary Fiscal year ending June 30 Total to June 30, 1952, includ- 1948 1949 1950 1951 1952 New work: Appropriated_-----------------------------------------------------------Cost....---------------------------....................-------------------------------..........------............

MANITOWOC HARBOR, WIS. Location.-This harbor is on the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 79 miles northerly from Milwaukee and about 106 miles from Green Bay via Sturgeon Bay Canal. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 735.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted in 1854, the first appropriation for the improvement having been made by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852. The project was modified by subsequent River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1881, September 19, 1890, June 3, 1896, and June 13, 1902. For further details see page 1937 of annual report for 1915, and page 1453 of annual report for 1938. Existing project.--This provides for an outer harbor or stilling basin formed by 2 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 hairbor to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 2,500 feet, with a width of 1694 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 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 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/ feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of cost for new work (1952) is $714,200, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $30,000.

Local cooperation.--The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the work of dredging an approach channel to the proposed city terminal in the outer harbor "shall not be undertaken until local interests shall have submitted assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that such terminal will be constructed." The plan for the municipal terminal has been abandoned. All other requirements have been. complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides 3 car-ferry slips there are 2 grain elevators, 2 shipbuilding yards, and several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, cement, and miscellaneous commodities. While these facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, it is believed the city should provide a suitable wharf with warehouse and railway connection, which should be open to the general public. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Dredging 21,600 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depths was accomplished at a cost of $13,154. Structures investigation by diver and report which is in progress involved a cost of $1,221. Condition surveys were made at a cost of $3,037. All work was done by hired labor and RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1695 use of Government plant. The total cost was $17,411.76 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $15,354.66. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 87 percent complete. The work remaining to be done consists of dredging 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, except for the south breakwater which requires repairs and stone filling. 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 $790,341.48 for maintenance, a total of $1,227,093.50. The total expenditures were $1,225,953.19.

MILWAUKEE HARBOR, WIS. Location.-On the west shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 85 miles northerly from Chicago and about 83 miles west of Grand Haven, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 743.) Previous projects.--The original project for improvement of Milwaukee Harbor was adopted by act of March 3, 1843, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852; April 10, 1869, and March 3, 1899. The original project for the harbor of refuge was adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. The project of June 13, 1902, consolidating the harbor and harbor of refuge was modified by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905. For further details see page 1938 of annual report for 1915 and page 1462 of annual report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a north breakwater 9,954 feet long and a south breakwater 9,671 feet, more or less, in length, extending to the shore, thereby forming a protected basin in which is being developed a commercial harbor by the city of Milwaukee, the width of entrance between the 2 breakwaters being about 500 RIVERS AND HARBORS-MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1701 feet. It further provides for the protection of the river mouth by 2 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 25th 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 Wisconsin Avenue extended and East Bay Street extended and easterly of a line 50 feet lakeward of the pier head line; and the abandonment of so much of the previous project as related to dredging inside the shore line for the formation of turning basins and widening channels. The breakwaters are formed of.stone-filled timber cribs and concrete caissons, all of which are capped with concrete superstructure. The inner entrance piers are formed of concrete caissons, stone-filled timber cribs, and piling and are also provided with concrete superstructure. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake 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 (1952) was $4,922,600, exclusive of the amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $113,000.

Local cooperation.--The act of August 30, 1935, provided that the original dredging of the outer harbor area be done by the city of 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 Secretary of War February 23, 1934, after this work was originally authorized as part of the Public Works program. 1702 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 All other requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities.-Besides four car-ferry slips, there are numerous wharves, private and municipal, used for the handling of coal, grain, building materials, cement, petroleum products, and miscellaneous commodities. As the facilities in the inner harbor are considered inadequate for existing commerce, the Milwaukee Harbor Commission is engaged in building an, outer harbor. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The north and south breakwaters were riprapped with 4,870 tons of stone at a cost of $31,201. Structures investigation by diver and report in progress cost $3,880. A condition survey was made at a cost of $4,027. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $39,108.04 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $42,004.15. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project in effect prior to the modifications of August 30, 1935, and March 2, 1945, was completed in 1934. No work has been done on deepening the outer harbor area to 21 feet north of the inner entrance piers, nor on the last modification of the project providing for dredging the river channels to 21 feet deep. The north breakwater was completed for a length of 8,210 feet in 1909. 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 completed 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 deepening 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 innerentrance piers and lakeward of the pierhead line to more than 21 feet below datum without cost to the United States. The concrete superstructures and the timber crib section of the north breakwater and on the harbor piers are showing some disintegration, and require repairs. The south breakwater and shore connection are in generally good condition. A portion of the south entrance pier is failing and should be rebuilt. The controlling depth at low-water datum a 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, $1,512,002.55 for maintenance, a total of $6,049,814.75. The total expenditures were $6,049,224.15.

GRAND HAVEN HARBOR AND GRAND RIVER, MICH. Location.-The harbor is located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 108 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 23 miles northerly from Holland. The river rises in Jackson County, Mich., and flows in a general westerly direction into Lake Michigan, with a total length of about 260 miles. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 765, and U. S. Geological Survey Grand Rapids quadrangle.) Previous projects.-The original project for the river was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. A new project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, and was modi- RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1717 fled 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. Emisting project.-This provides for protecting the mouth of the river by piers and revetments, 415 feet apart at the entrance, diminishing to 390 feet inside, about 3,569 and 5,549 feet in length for the north and south sides, respectively, and for a channel 23 feet deep and generally 300 feet wide and 1,500 feet long from that depth in the lake to a point about 1,000 feet inside the pier ends; thence 21 feet deep and 300 feet wide and 114 miles long to the car-ferry slip, with an enlargement at the upper end; thence 21 feet deep and 300 feet wide and 11/4 miles long from the car-ferry slip to the Grand Trunk Railway bridge at Ferrysburg; with a turning basin 18 feet deep on the south side of the channel just below that bridge; thence a channel 18 feet deep and generally 100 feet wide to deep water in Spring Lake, a distance of about 1,350 feet in the river and about 1,750 feet up the outlet from Spring Lake; and for a channel in Grand River 8 feet deep at lowwater 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 (1952) was $1,003,400, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1952) 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 onehalf 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 existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: June June Sept. July July 23,1866 14,1880 19,1890 13, 1892 3, 1930 Documents Work authorized Acts E.

Terminal facilities.-Besides a car-ferry slip, there are several wharves used for handling coal, building materials, petroleum products, fish, and miscellaneous commodities. The car-ferry slip 1718 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 is not in use at present. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce except that there should be a public wharf in Grand Haven for transfer between rail and water. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repairs were made to 205.5 linear feet of the south pier at a cost of $91,398. Condition surveys were made at a cost of $6,996. Divers examination of the harbor structures and development of a program of repair and report thereon involved a cost of $3,264. Dredging 110,639 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depths below the Grand Trunk Western Railway bridge cost $55,628. Maintenance dredging on the Grand River in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year was completed by removing 75,524 cubic yards of material at a cost of $29145. Preliminary costs for future repair work involved a deferred cost of $3,659.64. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant except for the maintenance dredging on the Grand River. The total cost was $186,431.51 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $223,012.50. 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 fair condition except that the south revetment and portions of the old timber cribs 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 commenced 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 and in the river to the Grand Trunk Railway bridge, and thence 8 feet to Bass River and 17 feet in the outlet from Spring Lake.

Stone riprap 1726 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 work along the south shore connection in progress at the close of the previous fiscal year was completed at a cost of $3,171. A divers examination of the harbor structures cost $1,817. Condition surveys were made at a cost of $3,279. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. The total cost was $39,519.54 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $40,352.42. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed 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 connections and the inner piers and revetments are in generally good condition, except that a portion of the south shore connection substructure is failing and requires repairs. The outer 100 feet of the south breakwater were removed by private interests in 1939 by authority of the Chief of Engineers dated June 2, 1939, thereby increasing the width between the outer ends of the breakwaters to 475 feet. The south breakwater is therefore maintained for only a length of about 1,700 feet.

CHARLEVOIX HARBOR, MICH. Location.-On the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 276 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 75 miles northerly from Frankfort. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 789.) Existing project.-This provides for a channel 18 feet deep from that depth in Lake Michigan to that depth in Lake Charlevolx protected where needed by piers and revetments. The piers at the entrance are formed of stone-filled timber cribs and rubblestone, being 781 feet and 452 feet in length on north and south sides, respectively. The entire south pier and the outer 303 feet of the north pier have been provided with concrete superstructure. The revetments are built of piling and are capped with concrete. The project depth is referred to low water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 1/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The cost for new work for the completed project was $82,223.04. The latest (1952) approved estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $15,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts.

Project depth increased to 18 feet (Contains latest published map.) 1736 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Local cooperation.--None required. Terminal facilities.-These consist of several small landing places in Round Lake at Charlevoix used for handling fish and miscellaneous commodities. The city of Charlevoix has provided a public wharf south of the inner end of the lower south revetment. A wharf for receipt of petroleum products is located on the west end of Lake Charlevoix. There are coal wharves at Advance and Boyne City at the inner end of Lake Charlevoix. The city of Boyne City has provided a public wharf for small craft. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A condition survey was made by hired labor and use of Government plant at a total cost of $501.01 for maintenance. The total net expenditures were $466.84. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939. The north pier and revetment of the lower channel was completed in 1880, and the south pier and revetment in 1889. The revetments of the upper channel were completed in 1885. Dredging of both channels to existing project depth, was commenced and completed in August 1939. The north revetment of the upper channel has been entirely removed, a portion being removed in 1928 and the remainder 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 18 feet in the lower channel to Round Lake and 18 feet in the upper channel to Lake Charlevoix. The costs under the existing project were $82,223.04 for new work and $401,375.87 for maintenance, a total of $483,598.91. The total expenditures were $483,564.74.

Location.-This harbor is on the east shore of Lake Michigan, distant about 293 miles northeasterly from Chicago and about 92 miles northerly from Frankfort, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 706.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of September 19, 1890, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1954 of annual report for 1915 and page 1547 of annual report for 1931. Existing project.-This provides for a west breakwater, extending from shore, having a total length of 1,345 feet. The breakwater is built of stone-filled timber cribs and rubblestone. The timber cribs are capped with concrete superstructure. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal change of about onehalf 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 cost for new work for the completed project was $118,016.18, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,000.

(The annual report for 1896, p. 2722, contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.--Nonerequired. Terminal facilities.-These consist of a municipal wharf projecting about 635 feet beyond the shoreline and protected by the breakwater. This wharf is considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-There were no operations during the fiscal year. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1908. The breakwater, constructed during the period 1895 to 1908, 1738 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 is in generally good condition. The available depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year 1950 was about 11 feet at the end of the municipal wharf. The costs and expenditures under the existing project were $118,016.18 for new work and $91,165.59 maintenance, a total of $209,181.77. Proposedoperations.-An allotment of $500 during fiscal year 1953 will be applied to condition survey during the fiscal year. No further operations are contemplated during fiscal year 1954.

ST. JAMES HARBOR, BEAVER ISLAND, MICH. Location.-This harbor is located in a bay near the northeast corner of Beaver Island, which is in the northerly end of Lake Michigan, about equidistant from the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan, 42 miles westerly from the Straits of Mackinac and 32 miles northwesterly from Charlevoix, Mich. (See U. S. Survey Chart No. 704.) Existing project.-This provides for dredging a channel, 150 feet wide and 14 feet deep at low-water datum, through the northwesterly portion of the shoal which extends entirely across the northerly portion of a sheltered bay, to provide access to the deep water area in the northerly end of the bay. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake 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 temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimate of Federal cost for new work (1952) is $29,700, and $7,500 is to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,500. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 446, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation.-Theact of March 2, 1945, provided that responsible local agencies give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they willa. Contribute $7,500 in cash toward the first cost of protective structures and dredging. RIVERS AND HARBORS--MILWAUKEE, WIS., DISTRICT 1739 b.

Lake Survey Chart No. 74.) 1745 1746 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Previous projects.-An appropriation was made by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1852, for a breakwater. This work was abandoned. The original project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 14, 1880, and modified by River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882. For further details see page 1940 of annual report for 1915, and page 1508 of annual report for 1938. Emisting project.-This provides fora. A northerly exterior breakwater about 1,900 feet long extending easterly from the vhore 1,030 feet and thence southeasterly 870 feet to the outer end, forming a protected outer harbor. b. Parallel piers, from the outer harbor to an inner basin, about 240 feet apart and 1,613 and 3,212 feet long for the north and south piers, respectively, the inshore end of the south pier diverging southward opposite the inner basin. c. An entrance channel 390 feet wide and 22 feet deep extending from that depth in the lake to the outer end of the north pier, reducing to a channel between piers 200 feet wide and 18 feet deep to the inner basin, an inner basin 18 feet deep, about 13 acres, protected on the east side by a revetment 882 feet long, and an anchorage area 8 feet deep, about 6 acres, in the southwest corner of the inner basin. The project depth is referred to low water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The fluctuations of water level are seasonal changes of about one-half foot above or below the annual mean stage, and extreme fluctuations of a temporary nature, due to wind and barometric pressure, of about 11/2 feet above or below the mean lake level prevailing at the time. The estimated cost of new work (1952) is $590,700, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, and excluding $20,000 (cost of bulkhead and boat stalls) to be contributed by local interests. The latest (1952) 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 June 14,1880 Aug. 2,1882 June 13,1902 July 3,1930 Mar. 2, 1945 Work authorized Parallel piers and basin I ----......................

Local cooperation.-The act of March 2, 1945, provided that dredging of the anchorage basin shall not be commenced until local interests furnish assurances to the Secretary of War that they will remove the RIVERS AND HARBORS---CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1747 abandoned water intake pipes; construct an adequate bulkhead in front of the city park and in front of the adjacent United States property; furnish, free of cost to the United States, the land necessary for the anchorage area; release the United States from all claims for damages resulting from the improvement and provide and maintain adequate mooring facilities. 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 anticipated on completion of the bulkhead. Terminal facilities.-There are four commercial docks. The most important cargoes handled are coal and iron and steel products. In addition, there are 2 publicly owned docks; 1 which is owned by the city and is used for fishing, and the other is owned by the United States Government and used exclusively by the Corps of Engineers. The city dock is considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys were conducted by hired labor at a cost of $6,502.37. The total costs for the fiscal year were $6,502.37 all maintenance. The total expenditures were $5,358.01. 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 19.6 feet in the entrance channel to the outer end of the south pier over a channel 250 feet wide measured from south channel and 18 feet in the remaining portion of the entrance channel and inner basin except for minor shoals along edges of the channel. Depths are based on soundings taken in June 1952 and are referred to low water datum. The mean-water level in June 1952 was 3.95 feet above datum. The total cost to June 30, 1952, was $1,529,526.46 of which $536,757.92 was for new work and $992,768.54 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $1,529,096.38. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, amounting to $487.67, plus an allotment of $28,700 made in July 1952, a total of $29,187.67, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1952------------------------------- $430. 08 Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, and miscellaneous investigations, by hired labor, fiscal year 1953--------------------------------3, 757. 59 Remedial repairs to damaged portions of south pier, by contract July 1, 1952, to June 30, 1953-----------------------10, 000.00 Remedial repairs to damaged portions of north pier, by contract July 1, 1952, to June 30, 1953-----------------------15, 000.00 Total maintenance------------Total for all work -------------------- 28, 757. 59 -----.---------------------------- 29,187. 67 1748 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Passenger excursion steamers are served by 6 of these 32 docks. There is 1 privately owned marine service mooring and 2 yacht club docks. The city of Chicago owns 5 docks, none of which are used for commercial purposes at the present time. The United States Government has 6 docks; 2 are used by the Coast Guard, 2 are used by the Navy, and 2 are used by the Corps of Engineers. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys were conducted by hired labor at a cost of $7,936.94. Repairs were continued to the shore-arm extension of the exterior breakwater, and to the inner breakwater, by contract, and 12 percent of the work was completed at a cost of $34,470.02. The total costs for the fiscal year were $42,406.96, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $53,163.21. 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 1750 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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, completed in 1880; concrete superstructure completed in 1930), is in good condition. The exterior breakwater (timber 5,418 feet, completed in 1889; concrete superstructure completed in 1930), the southerly extension (rubble mound 2,227 feet, completed in 1917), and the south arm (rubble mound 1,532 feet, completed in 1920; and concrete caisson 1,185 feet, completed in 1923) are in good condition. The shore-arm extension (timber 2,250 feet, completed in 1917) has deteriorated above the waterline. Repairs are in progress and by June 30, 1952, approximately 61 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 midchannel 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 September 1951, and are referred to low water datum. The mean water level, lakeward of the lock, in June 1952 was 3.95 feet above datum. The water level landward of the lock is controlled, the level being maintained at an elevation lower than that of Lake Michigan, except during excessive storm runoff. The total cost to June 30, 1952, was $5,833,372.18 of which $3,409,844.22 was for new work and $2,423,527.96 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $5,824,171.83.

Local cooperation.-The act of July 24, 1946, provided that the improvement of the channel is subject to the condition that local interests 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 improvement. The above requirement has not been complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 58 docks handling lake vessel and river barge cargoes. The most important cargoes handled are sand and gravel, coal, salt, cement, and petroleum products. There are four boatyards, three of which are used for servicing recreational craft and 1 engaged in constructing and servicing small craft as well as small Navy vessels. The city of Chicago owns two docks which are not used for commercial purposes at this time. The United States Government has two docks which are used by the Corps of Engineers exclusively. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys were conducted by hired labor at a cost of $9,980.64. The total cost for the fiscal year was $9,980.64, all maintenance. Total expenditures were $9,485.83. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The project is complete except for the work authorized by the River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946.

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 1754 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 of Chicago, except for a part of the breakwaters and of the anchorage behind same, which are in Indiana. The Calumet River is within the Chicago city limits. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 75.) For description, see page 1471 of annual report for 1932. Previous projects.-The original project for Calumet Harbor was adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 11, 1870, and modified August 11, 1888. Work was continued under these projects until 1896. The original project for Calumet River was adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884, and modified August 5, 1886. For further details, see page 1943 of annual report for 1915 and page 1515 of annual report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for the following work: a. For an outer harbor protected by a breakwater extending eastward from the shore about 4,400 feet and thence southeasterly about 8,100 feet to the harbor entrance. b. For an approach channel 3,200 feet wide and 28 feet deep through the shoals outside the breakwater. c. For an outer harbor channel and anchorage area 3,000 .feet wide and 26 feet deep. d. For an entrance channel to the river 350 feet wide and 26 feet deep to the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway bridge. e. For a channel in Calumet River of 200-foot minimum width, 25 feet deep to the Semet-Solvay wharf near 111th Street, thence 23 feet deep through the rock section to near 114th Street, thence 21 feet deep to 122d Street, and thence 21.5 feet deep to and including turning basin No. 5. f. For widening and straightening the river channel, except through the rock cut, to within 20 feet of bulkhead lines now or hereafter established. g. For five turning basins spaced along the river channel, of suitable size for turning the largest lake cargo vessels and each of the same depth as the adjacent channel. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Fluctuations in stage of the river are practically those resulting from changes of water level in Lake Michigan. On Lake Michigan seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in barometric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. The estimate of cost for new work (1952) is $11,146,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1952) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance is $75,000.

Local cooperation.-The act of March 3, 1905, required as a condition precedent to Federal expenditures upon any 1 of the 5 turning 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 not be commenced until local interests have furnished, free of cost to the United States, the lands or easements necessary for such widening or excavation and have either provided any necessary bulkheads, or have released the United States from all damages to adjacent lands by reason of the excavation. The Republic Steel Corp., has dredged a new turning basin on the east side of the Calumet River just north of 122d Street, to replace the original turning basin 3, and has constructed a bulkhead along the channel side of the original basin 3, and reclaimed the area to provide land for plant expansion. The corporation has also built a bulkhead along two portions of the east side of the river between a point opposite the Semet-Solvay slip and the new turning basin 3, and has widened and deepened the east side of the rock section between the United States east channel line and its bulkhead. The United States has widened and deepened two portions of the east side of the river between the south end of the rock section and turning basin 3, mile 4.7. Local interests donated the necessary land for the widening. Terminal facilities.-There are 42 docks handling lake vessel and river barge cargoes. The most important cargoes handled are iron ore, grain, coal, limestone, sand and gravel, iron and steel products, and miscellaneous package freight. Ther are 2 boatyards, 1 for repairs to large lake vessels (this yard has 2 large drydocks) and the other boatyard has 1 floating drydock for repairing and building commercial river craft. The United States Government owns 1 dock which is used by the Corps of Engineers only. There are no other 248558-53-vol. 2-----41 1756 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 public owned docks on the Calumet River except for the one reserved for the exclusive use of one city of Chicago fireboat. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Maintenance: Miscellaneous surveys and flue dust investigations were conducted by hired labor at a total cost of $31,279.20. Dredging and removal of concrete bulkhead in the Calumet River was initiated by contract, and 22,469 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost of $28,627.56. The total costs for the fiscal year were $59,906.76, all maintenance. Total expenditures were $31,649.18. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project is 52 percent complete. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of the construction of turning basins 2 and 4; dredging portions of the outer harbor; deepening, widening, and straightening the Calumet River; dredging an approach channel to the harbor through the shoals outside the detached breakwater; and closing the gap between the breakwaters. The timber 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 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 midchannel depth in the entrance channel is 21 feet. The controlling midchannel depth in the river is 18 feet, up to and including turning basin 5. Depths are based on soundings taken in January, February, and March, 1952, and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1952 was 3.95 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, 1952 was $8,767,339.70, of which $5,730,736.65 were regular funds and $3,036,603.05 were Public Works funds; $5,616,541.19 being for new work and $3,150,798.51 for maintenance;. The total expenditures were $8,738,144.46 including $3,036,603.05 Public Works funds. Proposed operations.--The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $91,788.48 plus an allotment of $16,500, a total of $108,288.48 will be applied as follows: Accounts payable, June 30, 1952 ------------------------- $29, 195.24 Maintenance: Sounding, sweeping, flue dust, and miscellaneous investigations, by hired labor, fiscal year 1953--. ----------------------16, 500. 00 Complete dredging in the river, by contract, Aug. 1, 1952 .-----.62, 593. 24 Total maintenance----------------------------------79, 093. 24 Total, all work------ --- ------ 108,288.48 RIVERS AND HARBORS--CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1757 The sum of $110,000 can be profitably expended for new work dredging by contract during the fiscal year 1954.

LAKE CALUMET, ILL. Location.-NortheasternIllinois (Cook County), within the southeasterly 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 areas A and B in the south end of Lake Calumet, including an entrance channel 300 feet in width from turning basin 5, to a depth of 21 feet. The project depth is referred to low water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Fluctuations in stage of the lake are practically those resulting from changes of water level in Lake Michigan. On Lake Michigan seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot, due to wind and difference in barometric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. The cost for new work for the completed project was $405,011.57. The latest (1952) 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. Doc. 180, 73d Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map of the Illinois Waterway is in House Document 145, 76th Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.--There is one privately owned dock which handles small ocean vessel and barge cargoes of package freight and iron and steel products. There is also one public dock owned by the city of Chicago which has not been used to date. Operations and results during fiscal year.-No work was scheduled or accomplished. There were no expenditures. Conditions at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1937. Depths in the channel from turning basin 5 on the 1758 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 1952 was 3.95 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, 1952, 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.

Local cooperation.--The act of August 26, 1937, provides that the enlargement of the Indiana Harbor Canal shall not be undertaken until local interests have furnished a right-of-way 300 feet wide and have constructed substantial bulkheads along the channel on the established lines shown on the map accompanying Rivers and Harbors Committee Document No. 13, 75th Congress, first session, provided that the improvement on one side may proceed in any section of fulfillment of the conditions for that side of the section, and pro- 1760 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 vided further, that south of the turning basin at The Forks (beginning 450 feet south of the intersection of the present Calumet Branch and main-stem bulkhead lines) widening and deepening by the United States shall be done only as the rights-of-way and bulkheads on at least one side of the channel are continuously provided southward from the above limit of the turning basin at The Forks. To provide for the 300-foot channel, a parcel of land (of about 4.6 acres), generally 100 feet wide, lying on the east side of the Calumet River Branch, commencing at the north side of 141st Street and extending northward toward The Forks for a distance of about 2,107 feet, has been conveyed to and accepted by the United States. Local interests have also constructed about 1,350 feet of bulkhead along the east side of the Calumet River Branch, and have reconstructed the bulkhead on the west side from The Forks to 141st 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. Termrinal facilities.-There are 16 docks handling lake and river cargoes. The most important cargoes handled are iron ore, petroleum products, limestone, iron and steel products, sand and gravel and coal. There are no public docks in this harbor. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys and flue dust investigations were conducted by hired labor at a cost of $25,749.89. Dredging in the outer harbor was completed by contract at a cost of $355.57. Dredging in the harbor and in the canal was performed, by contract, and 158,892 cubic yards of material were removed at a cost of $172,603.01, of which approximately $104,061.68 is to be reimbursed by United States Steel Co. The total costs for the fiscal year was $94,646.79, all maintenance. The total expenditures were $121,566.52. 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 141st Street to the same width and depth, and complete deepening and widening to full project dimensions of the upper 3,400 feet of the Lake George Branch. The north breakwater (rubble mound, 2,520 feet, completed in 1922) is in good condition except that some riprap is required. The east breakwater (concrete caisson, 1,507 feet, completed in 1926) and northerly extension (rubble mound, 2,324 feet, completed in 1935) are in good condition except that some riprap is required. Under a permit from the Department, the Defense Plant Corporation has constructed a bulkhead on the east side of the canal between the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge and Dickey Place Bridge, and the United States has widened and deepened the channel adjoining this bulkhead. The Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. have built 11,000 linear feet of new bulkhead on the westerly side of the canal between Pennsylvania Railroad and the 5 RIVERS AND HARBORS---CHICAGO, ILL., 1761 DISTRICT railroad bridges, and the required right-of-way has been conveyed to and accepted by the United States.

There are 2 small boatyards which repair and construct recreational craft only. The 1 public dock is owned by the city which has not been used for commercial purposes to date. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Miscellaneous surveys were performed by hired labor at a cost of $2,440.90. The expenditures were $1,602.47. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed 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 127 to 23 feet. Between the Franklin Street Bridge and the turning basin at the head of the project, the depths vary from 1 to 15 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 0.4 to 2.3 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 1952 and are referred to low-water datum. The mean water level in June 1952 was 3.95 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. 1764 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 The total cost to June 30, 1952, was $2,571,112.35 of which $1,212,385.20 was for new work and $1,358,727.15 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,570,273.92.

S. ARMY, 1952 Local cooperation.-TheRiver and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, modified the existing project subject to the condition that the State of Illinois transfer to the United States without cost all rights and titles in the two State-owned dams on the Illinois River, and that local interests furnish the United States without cost all necessary areas for the disposal of materials dredged in creating and maintaining the channel authorized (S. Doc. 130, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). By deed dated March 28, 1928, the State of Illinois transferred these locks and dams to the United States. Permission has been granted by many riparian landowners for use of their lands for the disposal of 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, subject to the supervision and approval of all expenditures and obligations by the Secretary of the Army, to construct the highway bridges at Brandon Road and Marseilles Canal, to make the necessary alterations 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 contractual obligations which have been or may be entered into by the State of Illinois as regards the construction of a waterway between Utica and Lake Michigan (S. Doc. 126, 71st Cong., 2d sess.). The State of Illinois appropriated $20,000,000 for the construction of a waterway providing minimum 8-foot depths in channels not less than 150 feet wide from the upper end of the Federal project on the Illinois River to Lockport. The lock and dam at Starved Rock was about 95 percent complete, the Marseilles lock was about 95 percent, the Marseilles Canal 98 percent, Dresden Island lock and dam about 20 percent, Brandon Road lock and dam about 70 percent, and the Lockport lock about 95 percent complete before the passage of the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930. The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, as modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938, provides that local interests furnish to the United States, free of cost, all necessary land to effect the improvements recommended in House Document 180, 73d Congress, second session, and install operating machinery and place in operating condition the three drawbridges across the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal between its junction with the Calumet-Sag Channel and Lockport when directed by the Secretary of the Army. All requirements have been met except for the installation of operating machinery in the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway bridge at Lemont, Ill. The River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946, supersedes the provi- sions of River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, and provides that RIVERS AND HARBORS--CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1771 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 abutments or railroad tracks at the approaches to railroad bridges; and agree to remove at their own expense or satisfactorily alter the highway bridges across Des Plaines River at McDonough and Cass Streets (Joilet) and across the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at 16th Street (Lockport), Romeo Road and Lemont Road, and all highway and street bridges across the channels included in the project, lakeward of Sag Junction which, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army, constitute 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-railtruck 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 interests have provided, or furnished assurances satisfactory to the Secretary 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 130th and 138th Streets for the Calumet River lock site and appurtenances. Local cooperation required for the small boat harbor at Peoria, Ill., authorized by the River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946, has been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are 193 wharves for handling barge commerce. The most important cargoes handled are coal, petroleum products, grain, sulfur, and miscellaneous merchandise. There is one shipyard located on the Illinois River. The United States Government has two installations on the Illinois River, one at Joliet and one at Peoria which are used by the Corps of Engineers exclusively. There are two publicly owned docks on the Illinois Waterway; one is owned by the city of Peoria and the other by the State of Illinois. Both of these docks are leased to privately owned barge line companies. These docks are considered adequate for existing commerce. From the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, sand, gravel, oil, and gasoline are shipped from Lockport, and petroleum products and stone from Lemont. Bulk-petroleum terminals are located at Argo, Forest View, Ill., and at California Avenue, Cicero Avenue, and Kedzie Avenue, Chicago, and a liquid industrial chemicals terminal is located at Cicero Avenue in Stickney, Ill. Private coal-unloading terminals are located at Ridgeland Avenue, Crawford Avenue, Loomis Street, Fisk Street, and Addison Street, Chicago. At Western Avenue, Chicago, bulk and package freight is handled through the North Pier River barge terminal. The State of Illinois barge terminal, including a 1,500,000-bushel grain elevator, is located at Damen Avenue, Chicago, on the South Branch of the Chicago River. Two sand and gravel distribution yards are located on the Calumet-Sag Channel. A crude-oil unloading terminal is located on the Little Calumet River 248558-53-vol. 2-42 1772 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lakes Superior and Huron, which are 601.6 and 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the St. Marys River rises and falls about 1 foot as measured by the monthly mean levels. 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, occasionally a considerable oscillation takes place within 2 or 3 hours, which is somewhat in the nature of a seiche; such changes amounting to over 5 feet have been known to occur within 3 hours. The estimate of cost for new work (1952) is $96,165,300, exclusive of amounts expended on provious projects. The (1952) estimate for annual cost of maintenance, including $1,262,000 for operation and care of the locks, is $1,601,900.

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 1952 price 1800 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 levels the amount of the United States participation is estimated to be $1,986,000. Terminal facilities.--This improvement serves the through commerce between Lake Superior and the lower lakes, and it has not materially influenced the terminal facilities at the towns along its route which consist mainly of small docks for the accommodation of local traffic. Several coaling docks for through-traffic accommodations 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: Contract work for construction of the new hydroelectric power plant and appurtenant works was completed except for a minor amount of channel clearing in the upper headrace. Installation and testing of the three main generating units of the plant was completed and the units were placed in commercial operation for the production of electric power on the following dates: Unit No. 1 on November 1, 1951, unit No. 2 on December 21, 1951, and unit No. 3 on February 3, 1952. Removal of the cofferdams was completed except for storing of the salvaged steel sheet piling. An agreement was made with the Edison Sault Electric Co., effective as of November 1, 1951, for the sale to that company of all of the electric power generated in the new power plant in excess of that taken by the United States, through its own facilities, for the operation of the St. Mary Falls Canal. A contract was awarded to General Electric Co. for a new 2,500 kilovolt-ampere electric generator for unit No. 3A of new plant, in lieu of the old generator from unit No. 10 of the old power plant which was to have been moved to unit No. 3A had Unit No. 10 been abandoned. Bids were invited for a 2,500 kilovolt-ampere electric power transformer for the permanent connection of unit No. 10 to the new powerhouse. A contract was awarded and work was started for the removal of the equipment from the old power plant (exclusive of unit No. 10), demolition of the superstructure and stabilization of the substructure of the older portion of the plant and for alterations to unit No. 10. Removal of the equipment was completed at the end of the year. The lease of the Edison Sault Electric Co. for the old power plant expired on April 30, 1952, and all operation of the old plant was discontinued pending completion of alterations to unit No. 10 to permit that unit to be continued in operation, as a part of the new power plant. Navigation features: Special studies were continued, in connection with the operation of the locks and construction in connection therewith, to insure the continuity of operation. Maintenance. The United States derrickboats Merganser and No. 4 removed a total of 5,277 cubic yards of materials, scow measure, from east and west approaches to the locks, and from the channels in St. Marys River. The United States hopper dredge Hains removed 124,126 cubic yards, bin measure, from courses 7 and 8, West Neebish Channel. Examinations of existing channels by sounding and sweeping, and miscellaneous surveys, were continued. Automatic water RIVERS AND HARBORS---DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1801 level gages were maintained, lake level records were compiled, discharge through power plants, navigation canals, and compensating works was computed and tabulated. Operation and care-St. Marys Falls Canal: The canal was opened to navigation 262 days, from July 1, 1951, to December 16, 1951, and from March 30, 1952, to June 30, 1952. During that period a total of 19,043 vessels, aggregating 109,277,999 tons of freight and 3,553 passengers, passed through the MacArthur, Poe, Davis and Sabin Locks in 14,326 lockages. The new powerhouse was operated and maintained beginning September 4, 1951. The canal and locks were operated as required and necessary repairs and improvements were made thereto and to the appurtenant structures 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 equipment continued. Purchase and installation of safety latches for fender booms on MacArthur, Davis, and Sabin locks and construction of ice recesses for operating gates on Davis and Sabin locks (east end) completed (hired labor). Rebuilding of electrical manholes on piers and purchase and installation of equipment for modification of present electrical distribution system, to provide for connection to new plant, were in progress (hired labor).

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 during the winter months and the highest during the summer months. At the head of St. Clair River, as measured by monthly mean levels, the water may rise and fall each year during the navigation season as much as 1.3 feet. 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 799 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 (1952) is $13,508,300 including $9,300,000 for construction of submerged sills. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance of dredged channels is $64,900, including $1,500 for maintenance in the outlet to North Channel. No expense or maintenance will probably be required for submerged sills. 1806 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1811 during the navigation season has been about 4 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.

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 disposal areas necessary for the construction and subsequent maintenance of the project, when and as required; and hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and subsequent 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 warehouse. Present terminals are considered adequate for existing commerce. 1812 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Operations and results during the fiscal year.-The United States derrickboat Erie removed obstructions in the Amherstburg Channel to restore project depths of 21 feet at a cost of $45,611.69. Repairs were made to compensating dikes by the derrickboat Erie-at a cost of $6,767.69. Examination of the improved channels by sweeping and/or sounding was performed at a cost of $44,628.34. Engineering surveys, investigations of strikings and groundings, pollution studies and repairs and replacements of the control system were made at a cost of $3,358.64. A sounding survey was made of the Zug Island waste bed at a cost of $1,485.74. Sounding surveys prior to dredging Livingstone Channel and the channel east of Detroit River light were made during the 1951 and 1952 seasons at a cost of $8,173.81. The United States hopper dredge Hoffman operated in the lower section of Livingstone Channel and channel east of Detroit River light from September 17 to September 30, 1951 and removed 237,195 cubic yards, bin measure, of material at a cost of $49,151.84. The total costs during the fiscal year were $159,177.75, all for maintenance. The total expenditures during the fiscal year were $168,778.80. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project with the exception 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 construction of dikes and compensating works. The dikes are generally in good condition. The Sugar Island compensating dike still shows signs of erosion and weathering.

SAGINAW RIVER, MICH. Location.--This river is formed by the union of the Tittabawassee and Shiawassee Rivers, is about 22 miles long, and flows in a northerly direction and into the south end of Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 5.) Previous projects.-Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866, June 23, 1874, June 18, 1878, March 3, 1879, August 2, 1882, and August 5, 1886. For further details see page 1957 of annual report for 1915 and page 1550 of annual report for 1938. EEisting project.--This provides for a channel 21 feet deep and 200 feet wide from deep water in Saginaw Bay to the Detroit & Mackinac Railway bridge in Bay City, thence 20 feet deep to the Sixth Street Bridge in Saginaw, Mich., thence 161/2 feet deep to the junction with the Tittabawassee River, a distance of about 291/2 miles; and for a turning basin 15 feet deep by 360 feet wide, varying from 690 feet to 420 feet in length, adjacent to the east side of the existing channel between Court Street and Bristol Street Bridges. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is taken at 578.5 feet above mean tide level at New York. Due to storms the level of the river at its mouth rises and falls about 3 feet. Spring freshets and excessive rains have caused an abnormal rise of as much as 14 feet at Saginaw. Occasionally a considerable change takes place within few hours, resulting from the rising or lowering of Saginaw Bay by violent winds. The cost of new work for the completed project was $2,081,579.59, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $97,500.

Final after dredging computations for the 1950 dredging season were made at a cost of $1,061.20. Total costs were $96,326.34. Total expenditures were $100,506.89. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The 21-foot project, which consisted of dredging a 21-foot channel from the Detroit River via the Short Cut Canal to the upper limit of improvement and the construction 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 channel was started with funds from the Emergency Relief Administration, but due to shortage of funds dredging was restricted to a distance 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 interests 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 removed. The head of navigation is determined by a fixed bridge about 2,600 feet above the upper limit of improvement.

MONROE HARBOR, MICH. Location.-The harbor is located on the lower reach of the Raisin River, which empties into Lake Erie at Monroe, Mich. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 3.) 1824 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Existing project.-This provides for a channel 21 feet deep and 300 feet wide in Lake Erie, a distance of about 15,800 feet; thence 21 feet deep and 200 feet wide, with necessary additional width at bends, in Raisin River, for a distance of about 8,200 feet; thence 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide to the lower wharves at Monroe, a distance of about 3,800 feet. The project also provides for riprapping of protecting dikes on each side of the channel extending lakeward for a distance of about 1,200 feet; for a turning basin with an area of about 22 acres and depth of 18 feet. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. The level of the river varies with that of Lake Erie, which fluctuates irregularly from year to year, the greatest annual fluctuation being about 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 (1945) is $777,500, excluding $300,000 contributed by local interests. The latest (1952) approved estimate 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 existing commerce. Operationsand results during the fiscal year.-No work was scheduled or performed during fiscal year 1952. 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 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 stonerevetted earth dike, 1,000 feet long, to form a foundation for range lights in Maumee Bay. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 4 feet above to 2 feet below 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 (1952) is $5,517,500, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $354,000. The existing project was adopted by the following river and harbor acts: Acts Mar. 3,1899 June 25, 1910 Aug. 30, 1935 May 17,1950 Work authorized Documents Auxiliary channel above Fassett Street Bridge, and H.

Rivers and Harbors Committee Doec. 21, 72d Cong., 1st sess. (Contains latest published map.) H. Doec.189, 81st Cong., 1st sess. (Contains latest published maps.) Recommended modification of project.-On April 28, 1950, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS-DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1827 the district engineer and with such modifications thereof as in the discretion of the Chief of Engineers may be advisable, at an estimated 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 Chesapeake & Ohio dock, approved 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 3 large railroad terminals used for receipts of ore, 1 for receipt of coal, and 2 for shipments of coal; 1 fuel dock; 4 docks with elevator facilities for handling grain; 5 pipeline docks for shipments of petroleum products and 1 pipeline dock for receipts of petroleum products. Two package-freight terminals are open to all facilities on equal terms. There are 5 sand and gravel docks, 1 cement dock, and 3 private fish docks. The city of Toledo has provided a lagoon near the mouth of the river suitable for winter mooring of vessels. Terminal facilities are regarded as adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The United States hopper dredge Hains, during the period July 1 to October 28, 1951, removed 466,771 cubic yards, bin measure, of material at a cost of $201,096.12. Prior to dredging surveys were made over the entire project at a cost of $10,140.85. Pollution studies were conducted at a cost of $159.56. A field office was maintained for the supervision and custody of the harbor at a cost of $10,777.99. Total costs were $222,174.52. Total expenditures were $275,337.29. 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.

EMERGENCY FLOOD-CONTROL WORK UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE FLOOD CONTROL ACT APPROVED AUGUST 18, 1941, AS AMENDED By Section 5 of the Flood Control Act approved Auorust 18, 1941; as amended by section 12 of the Flood Control Act of July 24, 1946, by section 206 of the Flood Control Act of June 30, 1948, and by section 210 of the Flood Control Act of May 15, 1950; $15,000,000 was authorized to be appropriated as an emergency fund to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of the Army and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers for the repair, restoration, and maintenance of any flood control work threatened or destroyed by flood, including the strengthening, raising, extending or other modification thereof as may be necessary in the discretion of the Chief of Engineers for the adequate functioning of the work for flood control. On March 22 and 23, 1952, a combination of high lake levels and strong northeasterly winds resulted in overtopping the breaching of dikes constructed by local interests for the protection of low-lying areas at Camp Perry,*Reno Beach, and Howard Farms, Ohio, and at Estral Beach, Mich., causing serious damage by inundation of the areas behind the dikes. Breaches in the dikes at Reno Beach and Howard Farms were repaired with a steel sheet-pile revetment, backed with earth fill and protected on the lakeward side by a dumped fill of quarry-run stone on a gravel filter blanket, the work being completed on March 31, 1952. Preparation of plans and specifications was initiated, to raise and strengthen the dikes at Estral Beach with earth fill, protected on the lakeward side by stone rip-rap placed on a gravel filter blanket. In connection with the work at all three localities, local interests are required to (a) provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way and borrow areas necessary for the construction of the project, and make all necessary bridge alterations and provide access to all public bathing beaches at the expense of local interests; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction works; (c) maintain the entire protective works FLOOD CONTROL---DETROIT, MICH., DISTRCT 1839 after completion, all in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; and (d) cooperate in the plan of improvement. Local interests at Reno Beach and Howard Farms have fulfilled these requirements of local cooperation. Local interests at Estral Beach have not yet furnished any of the required assurances of cooperation. During the fiscal year the cost of repairs to Reno Beach and Howard Farms dikes was $42,541.92. Plans and specifications for work at Estral Beach were initiated at a cost of $1,202.51. Total costs were $43,744.43. Total expenditures were $43,468.02.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-There are approximately 45 terminals for the handling of various types of cargoes, the most important of which are iron ore, steel products, coal, scrap, cement, sand and gravel, stone, grain, petroleum products, automobiles, newsprint, paper, salt, and sulfur. In general, the terminals operated by the railroads which include two of the iron-ore and a coal terminal, are open to shippers of the commodities handled. The city of Cleveland owns three terminals, one of which is leased for a miscellaneous freight and automobile terminal. The Corps of Engineers owns a wharf at the foot of East Ninth Street which is private. Several yacht-club docks and numerous other privately owned servicing and storage docks are for recreational and other small craft. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 3, revised 1950, Corps of Engineers.) Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work: Preparation of detailed plans and specifications for replacement or pier reconstruction of railroad bridges and deepening Cuyahoga and Old Rivers was continued by hired labor and contract at a cost of $6,022. Preparation of planning report was completed and the cost for the year was $1,520. Construction of bridges No. 25 and No. 8 over Cuyahoga River, by contract, was continued at a cost of $1,999,111. Deepening of Old River, by contract, was, commenced and the cost for the year was $27,075. Maintenance: Government plant and hired labor removed 342,529 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depths in the outer harbor and entrance channel at a cost of $101,560 and made repairs RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1853 to the east breakwater and east pier at a cost of $105,788, and investigated flue dust deposits in the channels at a cost of $23,948. Maintenance of the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers was continued and 899,735 cubic yards of material removed by contract at a cost of $684,475. The total cost for the year was $2,949,499.01' of which $2,033,728.32 was for new work and $915,770.69 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $2,502,385.33. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 37 percent complete. The river entrance channel has been improved by the construction of parallel piers 325 feet apart and dredging to a depth of 25 feet at low-water datum up to the New York Central Railroad bridge. The piers were completed in 1900 and the dredging in 1935. An outer harbor, about 1,300 acres in extent, has been formed by the construction of an aggregate length of about 30,000 feet of breakwater, including converging arms, completed in 1915. The main entrance has been widened to 700 feet and protected by converging arms extending lakeward from the east and west breakwaters, completed in 1908. The outer harbor was deepened, 1933 to 1935, to 25 feet at low-water datum throughout the west basin, in the entrance channel, and over a portion of the east basin adjacent to the entrance channel; over the remaining portion of the east basin a depth of 23 feet at low-water datum has generally been secured. Portions of the channel in Cuyahoga River were widened each year from 1939 to 1942. Removal of 150 feet of easterly end of west breakwater and 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 River and completion of deepening Old River to 23 feet, and replacement or pier reconstruction of seven railroad bridges remain to be done to complete the project. The controlling depth in the main entrance channel, through the west basin, and between the piers was 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 turning basin, 18 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $18,152,054.24, of which $9,504,050.27, including $616,767.03 Public Works funds, was for new work and $8,648,003.97, including $125,000 Public Works funds, for maintenance. The total expenditures were $17,252,518.76, including $741,767.03 Public Works funds. In addition, $50,000 was expended from contributed funds for maintenance.

FAIRPORT HARBOR, OHIO Location.-On the south shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Grand River, 33 miles easterly from Cleveland, Ohio. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart No. 346.) Previous projects.--Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1825, and May 20, 1826. For further details see page 1963 of annual report for 1915, and page 1590 of annual report for 1938. Existing project.--This provides for the following: a. An outer harbor about 360 acres in area formed by a system of breakwaters comprising a west breakwater, 3,878 feet long, connected with the shore, consisting of 825 feet of timber-crib substructure with stone superstructure and sea slope, 2,553 feet of rubblemound construction, and 500 feet of cellular steel-sheet piling with concrete caps; and an east breakwater 6,750 feet long, of rubblemound construction. b. A west breakwater pierhead of steel-sheet piling with concrete cap and an east breakwater pierhead of timber-crib substructure with concrete superstructure. 1856 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 c. An east river pier 1,252 feet long, 578 feet of timber-crib substructure with concrete superstructure, the inner 674 feet not maintained. d. Removal of the old west pier and construction of cellular steelsheet pile bulkhead 500 feet long and 300 feet west of the westerly face of the east pier. e. A depth of 25 feet in soft material and 26 feet in hard material in the outer harbor. f. A channel in Grand River 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide extending from the outer harbor a distance of 2,000 feet upstream from the outer end of the east river pier; thence of the same depth with a width of 150 feet to the angle in the ore terminal, a farther distance of 1,700 feet; and thence with a depth of 21 feet, and with widths varying from 200 to 100 feet for a distance of 4,000 feet to the end of the stone receiving terminal of the Diamond Alkali Co., with a turning basin 18 feet deep, 760 feet long, and 400 feet wide about midway in this section. g. A channel in Grand River 8 feet deep at the upper end of and adjacent to the west side of the 21-foot project channel, no dredging to be done closer than 20 feet from the westerly dock lines. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below lowwater datum, and extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and other causes, are from 4 feet above to 1 foot below that plane. The estimated cost of new work (1952), is $2,531,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $94,000 (July 1952).

Y., DISTRICT 1857 Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, requires local interests to contribute $304,000 toward the cost of extending the breakwater 4,000 feet and dredge the channel of approach to their terminal at their own expense. The River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1930, waived the condition requiring local interests to contribute to the cost of the breakwater extension. The condition requiring dredging has not been 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, a yacht club dock and one dock equipped with a derrick for handling small pleasure craft are privately owned. There are no publicly owned terminals. The facilities are regarded as adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 2, 1950, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 276,883 cubic yards of material and minor obstructions from the outer harbor, river channels, and turning basin for restoration of project depths at a cost of $72,295.13 for maintenance. The expenditures were $72,119.71. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is about 99 percent complete. A length of 400 linear feet 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 breakwater was completed in 1931 and the west breakwater in 1935. The river channel was deepened to project depths and the turning basin was excavated in 1939. The outer harbor was deepened and the river channel was widened at its mouth in 1940. The harbor structures require repairs. The concrete cap of two cells of the cellular section of the west breakwater require replacement. 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.

ARMY, 1952 Local cooperation.-Extension of the Ashtabula River channel upstream of the turning basin is subject to the provisions that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of Army that they will deepen to a like depth and maintain the area between the channel and the bulkhead and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages. These assurances have been furnished and were approved by the Chief of Engineers on June 18, 1952. Prior conditions have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-There are three iron ore and two coal terminals with an aggregate developed dock frontage of 18,500 feet, all open to the public. There are 4 privately owned fish docks, 1 privately owned limestone dock, 1 limestone and sand and gravel dock, 1 salt dock, a large shipyard and drydock, and a car-ferry terminal also. A yacht-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 commerce. (See Lake Series No. 2, 1950, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 82,822 cubic yards of material and minor obstructions for the restoration of project depths in the channel at a cost of $24,686.49 for maintenance. The expenditures were $25,541.17. 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 .'ast breakwater was completed in 1915; 800 feet of the westerly ena was removed, and a lakeward extension of 700 feet was completed in 1935. The old inner east breakwater 1,200 feet long was completed in 1909, and the westerly 600 feet was removed in 1913 and 350 feet in 1935. The 18- and 16-foot sections of the river channel and the turning basin were deepened to project depth in 1939. The channel through the outer harbor, the approach channel to the New York Central Railroad Co.'s slip and the channel in Ashtabula River to a point 2,000 feet 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 conditional removal of the east inner breakwater. The portion of the outer harbor to be maintained to 21 feet has not been deepened to that depth, shale rock being above project depth over a portion of the area. The controlling depth is 25 feet in the channel through the outer harbor lakeward of the inner breakwater, 24 feet shoreward thereof, 20 feet in the east basin, 24 feet in the approach channel to the New York Central Railroad Co.'s slip, and in the Ashtabula River channel to a point 2,000 feet upstream from its mouth, 18 feet to the upper car-ferry slip, and 16 feet up to and including the turning basin.

The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 2, 1950, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during the fiscal year.--Government plant and hired labor removed 89,927 cubic yards of material for the restoration of project depth in the outer harbor at a cost of $32,414, made repairs to the east pier fender at a cost of $2,239 and made repairs to 105 linear feet of the west breakwater at a cost of $40,602. The total cost for the year was $75,254.69 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $69,585.35. Condition at end of fiscal year.--The existing project is about 71 percent complete. Under existing project, a length of 4,445 feet of the new west breakwater was completed in 1916; the old east breakwater, 1,050 feet long, was extended shoreward 800 feet (completed 1911) and lakeward 900 feet (completed 1923). The 1,670-foot shore arm to the west breakwater was completed in 1934. Extension of the west breakwater 830 feet lakeward, the east breakwater 925 feet lakeward, and removal of the lake arm of the west breakwater were completed in 1935; 642 feet of the old west breakwater was removed in 1916 and the remaining 600 feet in 1925. Two piers have been constructed at the mouth of the Conneaut River. Removal of west pier and 459 feet of east 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 approximately 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 westerly side of the deepened channel through the outer harbor to 25 feet in soft material and 26 feet in hard material, and to deepen the remainder of the outer harbor to 20 feet. The total cost of the existing project was $4,187,522.80, of which $3,270,446.92, including $1,010,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $917,075.88 for maintenance.

The easterly group consists of 1 terminal for iron ore, limestone and coal, 1 for petroleum, 1 for coal, 1 for pulpwood, 1 for sand and stone, 1 grain elevator, and 1 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 considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Government plant and hired labor removed 210,519 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depths in the channel and basin area at a cost of $43,364, made repairs to the south pier at a cost of $122 and repaired 650 linear feet of stone protection work on the peninsula at a cost of $47,967. The total cost of maintenance for the year was $91,453.62. The total expenditures were $93,728.43. 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 2 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 approximately 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 1,400 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 RIVERS AND N.

Assurances have been received, and were approved on December 19, 1949, by the Secretary of the Army. All prior conditions have been complied with. Terminal facilities.--A dock owned by the city of Dunkirk is designed for commercial use by large lake vessels. The terminal has been leased to private parties but is open to all on equal terms under the terms of the lease. A yacht-club dock and a privately owned marine service dock are for recreational and other small craft. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Dredging in outer and inner channels and basin by existing contract was performed at a cost of $146,844.54 for the year for maintenance. The expenditure was $172,292.58. (ondition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1951 at a cost of $429,174 (including $11,000 contributed by local interests). The protecting structures are generally in good condition. Apprqximately 800 feet of the lake side of the west pier has been reinforced with stone riprap and repairs to additional areas are necessary. The controlling depth in the outer channel is 17 feet, the inner channel and the turning basin are 16 feet at low-water datum. The total cost of the existing project was $1,110,974.65 of which $418,174.10 was for new work and $692,800.55 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $1,110,974.65.

Local cooperation.-Deepeningthe 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 were approved by the Chief of Engineers on October 5, 1951. The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, modified the above requirement to permit deepening and maintaining to 23 feet of the shallow, undredged strip along the breakwater and the triangular area in the southerly outer harbor until such time as local interests meet prescribed local cooperation for dredging to 25 feet. 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, liinestone, sand and gravel, steel products, scrap, flour, petroleum products, automobiles, cement and sulfur. In general, the terminals operated by the railroads and lake-transportation companies and most of the grain elevators are open to the public. The city of Buffalo owns two wharves, which are used as automobile terminals. The American Shipbuilding Co. has a drydock and facilities for repairing lake vessels. There are also several privately 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 and Buffalo River entrance channel (third stage) and (stage III-B) were completed at a cost of $484,955. Plans and specifications, by hired labor, for deepening portions of the southerly outer harbor to 25 feet and for the removal of shoals on approach to the south entrance to 27 feet were commenced at a cost for the year of $3,579. Planning report was completed at a cost of $1,024. RIVERS AND HARBORS-BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1873 Maintenance: Government plant and hired labor removed obstructions from the Buffalo River entrance channel, north entrance channel and outer harbor at a cost of $9,407, removed 363,661 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depths in the Buffalo River entrance channel and outer harbor at a cost of $72,822, made repairs to 275 linear feet of the south breakwater at a cost of $57,205 and investigated flue dust deposits in the channels at a cost of $17,496. Maintenance of the Buffalo River and ship canal, by contract was continued and 173,061 cubic yards of material were removed for restoration of project depths at a cost of $162,358. The total cost for the year was $808,845.37 of which $489,558.02 was for new work and $319,287.35 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $913,507.98. 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 breakwater 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 northerly 1,200 feet of the old breakwater has settled. The controlling depth in the northerly part of the outer harbor is 23 feet and in the north and south entrance channels is 21 feet. 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 $8,778,366.66, of which $4,639,878.57, including $655,500 Public Works funds, was for new work and $4,138,488.09 for maintenance.

BLACK ROCK CHANNEL AND TONAWANDA HARBOR, N. Y. Location.--This improvement is essentially that of the upper 131/2 miles of the Niagara River from its head at Lake Erie, Buffalo, N. Y., to and including Tonawanda Harbor, N. Y. It comprises the 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, narrowing to 200 feet wide, 500 feet northwest; thence generally 200 feet wide through Black Rock Channel to the ship lock at the foot of Bridge Street, a distance of 3.3 miles, 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 1876 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 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 31/2 feet below that plane. River fluctuations gradually decrease to about 70 percent of fluctuations above the lock when they reach North Tonawanda. The estimated cost for new work (1952), is $11,141,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The (1952) estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $300,000 (July 1951) including $200,000 for operation and care. Description of Black Rock lock Location: Foot of Bridge St., Buffalo, N. Y.

Terminal facilities.-There are no freight terminals along the channel above the Black Rock lock. Along the upstream end of the channel there are 2 small boat harbors, 1 unused seaplane terminal, 1 Naval Militia dock, 2 yacht club docks and several other privately owned servicing and storage docks for recreational and other small craft, and 2 State-owned barge canal terminals at Erie Basin. Below the Black Rock lock and at Tonawanda Harbor there are 6 terminals for petroleum products, 2 for iron ore, stone, and pig iron, 2 for coal, 1 for molasses, 4 for sand and gravel, 1 for lumber, and 1 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 recreational 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 77,091 cubic yards of material for restoration of project depth in Black Rock Channel and Tonawanda Harbor at a cost of $37,623, swept and removed obstructions from the channels at a cost of $20,510 and repaired 25 feet of the Bird Island Pier at a cost of $1,887. Operation and care: The lock was in continuous operation 279 1878 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 days and in operation during the day only for 69 days. The lock was closed March 10 to 27, 1952, inclusive, for underwater cleaning and repair. The Ferry Street Bridge was in continuous operation 275 days and in operation during the day only for 91 days. The signal station at the foot of West Genesee Street, Buffalo, N. Y., was in continuous operation 259 days and was closed from December 22, 1951, to April 6, 1952, inclusive. The cost for the year was $187,257. Repairs, by contract, to the upstream 100 linear feet of the lower west guide pier were completed at a cost for the year of $7,055. Study, by hired labor, to consider replacement or modernization of Black Rock lock and appurtenant structures was continued at a cost of $146; in addition, contract plans for repairs to lock wall surface were continued. An air-raid shelter was prepared in the basement of the Buffalo district office building at a cost of $1,447. The total cost for the year was $255,926.39, including $8,649 for improvement and reconstruction, of which $195,906 was for operation and care, and $60,020 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $294,318.52. 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 different sections of this channel were completed to project depth as follows: Lake Erie section in 1909; Black Rock Canal section in 1915; Niagara River section from lock to deep-water pool above Tonawanda in 11913; 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 Georgia Street, Buffalo, in 1924; Black Rock Canal section, just south of the International Bridge at Buffalo, in 1928 and opposite the foot of Maryland Street, Buffalo, in 1930; and Niagara River section in the vicinity of the westerly end of the Rattlesnake Island shoal in 1928. Rock shoals extending above a depth of 21.4 feet were removed from the Lake Erie entrance to the canal and in the canal south of Ferry Street Bridge in 1937. 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 1948-49. The Tonawanda Creek channel was completed in 1902. Tonawanda inner harbor channel was completed in 1904. The enlargement of the Tonawanda turning basin and the extension of Bird Island pier were completed in 1936. The lock including wing walls and retaining walls above the lock, was completed in 1914, and the 100-foot east wing wall extension in 1927. The guide pier connecting with the west lower wing wall was completed in 1916, except the 200foot 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS--BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1879 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, requiring removal of stone and debris from the channel and repair of the structure. The operating equipment and controls for the Black Rock lock are 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 $14,340,050.43, of which $10,066,019.35, including $1,764,921.94 Emergency Relief funds, was for new work, $1,734,891.32 for maintenance and $2,539,139.76 for operation and care. The total expenditures were $14,351,542.52, including $1,764,921.94 Emergency Relief funds. In addition the sum of $1,356,006.68 was expended betweeli July 9, 1914, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works' of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $22,668.94, plus accounts receivable of $11,492.09, together with allotments for fiscal year 1953 of $355,000.00, a total of $389,161.03, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Repairs to Bird Island pier by Government plant, November 1952 $10, 000. 00 and June 1953-----------------------------------10, 000. 00 Repairs to Towpath wall by Government plant, May 1953 ---Dredging Black Rock Channel by United States hopper dredge, July and August 1952 and June 1953------------------40, 000. 00 Obstruction removal in project areas by Government plant, July 1952 to June 1953----- - -----------------------------9, 771. 80 Condition surveys, flue dust investigations, miscellaneous inspections and reports, by hired labor, July 1952 through June 1953. 11, 450. 00 Total ---------------------------------------------- 81, 221. 80 Maintenance (operation and care): 150, 000. 00 Operating lock, bridge and signal station__....__--Ordinary repairs to lock, bridge, and signal station ---------70, 000. 00 Continuation of study to consider replacement or modernization of Black Rock lock and appurtenant structures, by hired labor, July 1952 to June 1953..... -------------------------------2, 000.00 Repairs to lock wall surface by contract, February and March 1953 ---------------------85, 939. 23 Total------------------ ------- ----------------- 307, 939. 23 __- 389, 161. 03 The sum of $381,000 can be profitably expended for the following schedule of work during fiscal year 1954: Total of all work------------------ ----- 1880 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

NIAGARA RIVER, N. Y. Location.--This impovement covers that portion of the Niagara River from Tonawanda Harbor, N. Y., to Niagara Falls, N. Y., a distance of 71/2 miles, and compensating works near the head of the river. The downstream limit of the improvement is about 16 miles from the mouth of the river at Lake Ontario. (See U. S. Lake Survey Chart.No. 312.) Previous projects.-Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of July 13, 1892, August 18, 1894, and June 25, 1910. For further details, see page 1970 of annual report for 1915 and page 1619 of annual report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 12 feet deep and 300 feet wide in the east channel from the downstream end of the existing 21-foot channel opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, to the upstream end of the 12.7-foot channel near the Niagara Falls waterworks intake crib; and for a channel 12.7 feet deep and from 300 to 400 feet wide from the Navy Island channel (natural) to the foot of Hyde Park Boulevard (formerly called Sugar Street), Niagara Falls, N. Y. The project also provides for the construction of compensating works just above the contracted section of the river at Fort Erie, this work forming a part of the project for deeper channels in the connecting waters of the Great Lakes. RIVERS AND HARBORS---BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1881 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 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 of new work (1952) is $2,733,000, including $700,000 for compensating works, but is exclusive of $27,562.50 contributed by local interests, and amounts expended on previous projects. The estimate of cost of annual maintenance is $9,000 (1952) 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 Boulevard were completed in 1934. The work remaining to be done is the construction of the compensating works just above the contracted section of the river at Fort Erie. The controlling depth in the channels is 11.4 feet at low-water datum. The total cost and 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 addition, $27,562.50 was expended from contributed funds for new work.

Local cooperation.-The act of June 30, 1948, provides for construction of the east outer harbor provided local interests give assur-. ances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will provide without cost to the United Sates 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 subsequent 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 complied with. Terminal facilities.-One coal terminal and two State-owned terminals for grain and barge canal traffic are open to the public. Two 1888 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 terminals for coal, 1 for cement, 1 for pulpwood, and 1 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 durring fiscal year.--Government plant and hired labor performed examination sounding and sweeping in the channels for maintenance at a cost of $5,518.96. The total expenditures were $5,087.74. 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 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 harbor 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 $4,960,225.08, of which $4,260,354.32 was for new work and $699,870.76 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $4,960,382.67.

LAKE SURVEY SURVEY OF NORTHERN AND NORTHWESTERN LAKES This district embraces the United States portion of the Great LakesSt. 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 charting 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, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The Great Lakes portion alone covers 61,000 square miles of United States waters and 4,000 miles of United States coastline. The Lake Champlain 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 MinnesotaOntario 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. William N. Harris, Corps of Engineers. Division engineer of the Great Lakes Division, Chicago, Ill.; comprising the Duluth, Minn.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Chicago, Ill.; Detroit, Mich.; Buffalo, N. Y.; and United States Lake Survey Districts: Col. W. P. Trower, Corps of Engineers. Previous projects.-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 projects in addition to hydrographic and topographic surveys contemplated the establishment of the requisite horizontal and vertical control, where not already in existence, and measurement and analysis of other factors pertaining to navigation. The most recent comprehensive statement concerning prior projects on the Great Lakes and formulation of "a general project covering to completion the operations 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 compilation of navigation charts of the added waters from all existing survey data pertaining thereto, supplemented by such additional surveys as might be required. 1911 1912 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 extensions 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, referred to above in connection with the charting and navigational portions of the project, also discusses prior and existing responsibilities in these respects. A board appointed by the Division Engineer, Great Lakes Division, to study and clarify Lake Survey activities in this second category formulated a report which included definite recommendations. The board report was presented to the Chief of Engineers and approved on January 21, 1935, as the basic description of such responsibilities. The report thus is the foundation for the continuing activities 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 charting only. Existing project.---That portion of the existing project concerned with charting provides for general maintenance of chart coverage. Various classes of charts are issued, consisting essentially of general charts employing small scales suitable for the needs of open-lake navigation; coastal, river, and sectional charts employing medium scales affording 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 individual chart scale and coverage are not fixed. Changing requirements of navigation renders existing charts unnecessary, alters coverage 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 hydraulics as well, is the portion of the project relating to horizontal and vertical control. The original control was established under the early projects in connection with the original surveys, by the Lake Survey on the Great Lakes and by other governnvent agencies in the other areas of the district. The original control has been preserved wherever possible; where destroyed it has been replaced as needed and where necessary it has been augmented by additional control for use in connection with later surveys and other Corps of Engineers work. Present efforts are directed toward preservation of both horizontal and vertical control by periodic recovery of monuments, replacement where found destroyed, checking of elevations by instrumental means and water transfers, and augmentation where required for Lake Survey and Great Lakes Division activities. In the same con- U. S. LAKE SURVEY 1913 nection, necessary readjustments are made as indicated to correlate Lake Survey control with nationwide control networks of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. The project includes publications of information for the benefit of navigation, additional to that provided by the charts. These consist 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 representation on the charts. The supplement, issued monthly during the navigation season, provides corrections and additions to Pilot text, occasioned 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 characteristics, water temperatures, 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 present project provides for continued operation of sufficient gages for these purposes and includes reduction of the records obtained, tabulation 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 continuing 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 determined 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 lakes, ice retardations and effects, and similar phenomena. The work involves compilation of data supplied primarily by other organizations in form to be used in other studies and problems discussed above. The overall responsibility of the Lake Survey involving the measurement of lake and river levels, hydraulics, and hydrology, presented as part of the present project in the foregoing paragraphs, is con- 1914 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 cerned 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.-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, only two sections of the Charting and Geodetic Branch were operating in the field on July 1, 1951. The Offshore Section was in northern Lake Michigan engaged in the civil works investigations program of testing the electronic tracking system called Raydist for precision in measuring distances and in locating positions in hydrographic surveying and charting. The Revisory Section was inspecting the harbors and other pertinent areas of eastern Lake Erie. Due to shortage of funds this section's field operations were discontinued about 1 month earlier than usual. At the opening of the field season in May 1952, charting activities of the lake survey had been reduced to a minimum for economy reasons, therefore, the Revisory Section was not sent into the field. The Offshore Section continued the Raydist tests, shifting operations to western Lake Erie. 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 indicated hydrographic and topographic surveys are made or the required 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 position on the various bodies of water, as noted at paragraph beginnings, field work by the two sections of the Charting and Geodetic Branch is consolidated to show total accomplishments during the fiscal year. Lake Michigan.--Tests were conducted in the northern part of Green Bay and the lake on Civil Works Investigations Project No. 313, Raydist. Lake Erie.-Examinations for chart revision were made from Conneaut, Ohio, to the eastern extremity. Raydist tests were conducted in the vicinity of Sandusky, Ohio. Niagara River.-Examinations for chart revision were made. Lake Ontario.-Examinations for chart revision were made. New York canals.-Examinations for chart revision were made in all sections east of Lyons, N. Y. Lake Champlain.-Examinations for chart revision were made on land areas only. St. Lawrence River.-Examinations for chart revision were made from Cape Vincent, N. Y. to St. Regis, Quebec. U. S. LAKE SURVEY 1915 Operations of the Hydraulics and Hydrology Branch relating to recording of levels of the Great Lakes and their connecting rivers consisted in maintenance of 37 gaging sites at 25 of which self-registering instruments were operated and at 12 of which stages were observed and recorded by gage observers. Additional field work by the branch was effected in measuring the flow of the St. Lawrence River and in beginning similar measurement on the Niagara River. The customary work of the Hydraulics and Hydrology Branch pertaining to compilations of lake levels and hydraulic and hydrologic factors was continued. Studies concerning lake levels and hydraulic problems were extended. Numerous studies and reports were made in connection with the "Preliminary Examination Report on Property Damage on the Great Lakes Resulting From Changes in Lake Levels" issued in June 1952. 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 correction in the Correction Section of the Compilation Branch to show changes in features vital to navigation. Sixty-one thousand three hundred and ninety-seven charts were sold during the year, the proceeds of sales, amounting to $28,856.40, being deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States. An additional 7,876 charts were issued for official use. The annual revised edition of the Great Lakes Pilot (Bulletin No. 61 for 1952) was prepared by the Lake Survey and printed by the Government Printing Office, becoming available in April 1952. Supplement issues Nos. 3 to 7 to Bulletin No. 60 (Great Lakes Pilot for 1951) were prepared and printed by the Lake Survey monthly from July through November 1951. Supplement issues Nos. 1 and 2 to Bulletin No. 61 (Great Lakes Pilot for 1952) were prepared by the Lake Survey and printed by contract in May and June 1952. The number of Bulletins Nos. 60 and 61 sold as agent for the Superintendent of Documents amounts to 1,347 copies. A total of $3,304.75 was collected from their sale and transmitted to that official. An additional total of 412 of the publications was issued for official use. Supplements to the 2 bulletins sold amounted to 1,065 sets of 7 issues, realizing $356.15 in sales proceeds. The 412 bulletins issued were accompanied by 412 sets of supplements, as the latter were published. 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, newspapers, 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 relating to the Civil Works investigations project No. 313, Raydist. The total cost during the year of the regular maintenance operations was 248558-53-vol. 2-----51 1916 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 $386,973.45, and the total expenditures, after deducting receipts for reimbursements and sales, were $384,834.21. The costs of the Civil Works Investigations program was 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 $36,106.63. Reimbursable work for other districts such as reproduction of project and other special maps was done by the field printing plant at a total cost of $12,727.68. 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 $6,729,811.27. Cost of new work under the existing project was $2,755,913.96, and of maintenance to June 30, 1952, was $5,582,339.96, amounting to a total for the present project in the 46 years, since 1907, of $8,338,253.92. The total expenditures under the present project to June 30, 1952, amounted to $8,324,391.61. 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. 61), and the supplement to the Great Lakes Pilot. In addition, mimeographed 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 822 official and private recipients, and tabulations of river discharges, precipitation, and stages at specific locations on the lakes are dispatched regularly to 49 additional receivers, the latter being primarily official. Numerous other tabulations and compilations 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 following tabulation shows the manner in which the unexpended balance in an amount of $8,862.31 plus allotments of $389,000, a total of $397,862.31, will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1953.

PAINTED ROCK RESERVOIR, GILA RIVER BASIN, ARIZ. Location.-The site of the improvement is on Gila River, mile 126, about 20 miles below Gila Bend, Ariz. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a dam and reservoir for flood control. The dam would be a rolled-fill earth structure with a maximum height of 174 feet above stream bed, a crest length of 4,710 feet, and two detached broad-crested spillways, each 525 feet long. The reservoir at spillway crest would have a gross capacity of 2,480,000 acre-feet including 200,000 acre-feet for sediment. The operation of the reservoir would reduce the standard project flood of 320,000 cubic feet per second to a maximum outflow of 22,500 cubic feet per second. The estimate of cost (1952) is $25,750,000 for construction, $3,210,000 for relocations, lands, easements, and rights-of-way; $40,000 annually for maintenance and operation. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved May 17, 1950. (See H. Doc. 331, 81st Cong., 1st sess.)

The act of June 30, 1948, requires that local interests establish a competent public body empowered to regulate the use and development 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 1986 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 and maintenance dredging and for the construction thereon of impounding levees and to furnish royalty-free material for the construction of such levees, all when and as required; and (e) agrees to contribute to the United States funds equal to the Federal cost of constructing such levees as and when required. 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 2 wharves, 6 fish-receiving and shipping piers, 3 of which have boat-fueling stations thereon; 5 boatbuilding and repair plants; 1 boat-fueling and icing terminal; and a number of mooring facilities; all privately owned. These facilities are considered adequate, with the exception of mooring and berthing facilities for fishing boats. Improvement of the project as authorized will provide additional protected area for required facilities. Operations and results during fiscal year.-As maintenance, a condition survey was performed by hired labor at a cost of $2,555.28, and plans and specifications were prepared and a contract awarded for maintenance dredging, at a cost of $1,790.46, a total cost for maintenance of $4,345.74. The expenditures were $4,574.10 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 February 1952 the controlling depths were: 11 feet at the entrance to the channel, and 5.5 feet between the jetties, thence 7 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 $226,296.05 for maintenance, a total of $422,130.13, and the expenditures were $422,358.49, from regular funds. Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance on June 30, 1952, amounting to $207,808.25, together with accounts receivable of $228.36, plus allotments of $17,850, a total of $225,886.61, will be applied during the fiscal year 1953 as follows: Maintenance: Conipletion of redredging of project channels, by contract, Sep- tember and October 1952-------------------------Condition survey, by hired labor, July 1952 to June 30, 1953_...

Local cooperation.-Theact of January 21, 1927, as modified by the act of March 2, 1945, requires that local interests contribute one-half the cost of the entrance channel (400 feet wide) to the outer harbor and that the future maintenance by the United States of the north channel in Brooklyn Basin be contingent upon the removal by local interests of all sewers emptying therein, or, in lieu of such removal, upon the contribution of one-half the cost of maintenance (H. Doc. 407, 69th Cong., 1st sess., and H. Doc. 466, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). The first of the above requirements has been fulfilled. The others have not been fulfilled. In compliance with the act of April 28, 1928 (Public Res. 28, 70th Cong.), local interests have 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 combined 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.., DISTRICT 2003 private corporation. The Southern Pacific Railroad Co. operated 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 terminals, 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.

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 Francisco Bay east of Point San Bruno. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5531.) Previous projects.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. For further details, see page 1979 of annual report for 1915 and page 1672 of annual report for 1938. Existing 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 authorized channel across San Bruno Shoal is about 41/3 miles long. In the creek, the authorized deep-water channel is 3.4 miles long including the basins, and the 5-foot channel extends to mile 4.3. The estimate of cost for new work (1952) is $1,551,200 exclusive of $119,572.23 contributed by local interests and of the amounts expended on previous projects. The (1952) estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $85,630. 2006 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Terminal facilities.-Within the protected harbor the existing commercial facilities consist of 2 publicly owned wharves with a total of about 2,600 feet of berthing space, 3 boat-fueling stations, 2 net-tanning plants, 2 machine shops and other facilities for servicing fishing boats, exclusive of facilities owned by the United States. Outside the protected harbor there are 1 boat-building and repair plant, 35 anchored floating fish-receiving hoppers connected by pipelines to the sardine plants ashore, 2 submarine pipelines between tanker moorings and short plants for handling petroleum products, and other facilities for servicing fishing boats. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce, although a state of congestion generally exists within the protected harbor due to a lack of sufficient protected anchor mooring space. Operationsand results duringfiscal year.-As maintenance a condition survey was performed by hired labor at a cost of $2,084.77. The expenditures were $2,150 from regular funds. 248558-53-vol. 2-57 2012 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Recommended modifccation of project.-Modifications to the existing project are recommended in House Document 717, 81st Congress, 2d session, to provide for a second entrance channel 35 feet deep below mean lower low water extending seaward from the west end of Kapalama Basin, having a width of 400 feet for 5,850 feet, thence increasing to a width of 1,000 feet in a distance of 4,150 feet; and installation of a pontoon drawbridge or other suitable movable-type bridge across the channel having a minimum clear horizontal draw opening of 200 feet, all generally in accordance with the plan of the district engineer and the comments of the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, and with such modifications thereof as in the discretion of the Chief of Engineers may be advisable; at an estimated cost to the United States of $2,380,000 for construction and $5,000 annually for maintenance of the navigable channel in addition to that now required; provided that 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, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the construction and subsequent maintenance of the project, when and as required; (b) hold and save the United States RIVERS AND HARBORS---SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2019 free from damage due to the construction works; and (c) relinquish to the United States, without royalty charge, all salvageable material removed from the channel; and provided further that the Territory of Hawaii take title to the proposed drawbridge after construction and maintain and operate it in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with on existing project. Terminal facilities.-There are 37 piers and 2 marginal wharves (a 470-foot concrete wharf and a 2,600-foot timber wharf). The Federal Government owns 4 of the piers and the 2 marginal wharves. Of the remaining piers, 15 are owned by the Territory of Hawaii, administered by the Territorial Board of Harbor Commissioners, and 18 are privately owned. Construction of a new freight terminal at pier 2 by the Territory of Hawaii is in progress to accommodate two C-3type general cargo vessels and one lumber cargo vessel. 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. Pipelines for Diesel oil, fuel oil, kerosene, gasoline, distillate, molasses, and water are available. In addition to these facilities, the United States Army started construction of a slip in the northerly side of Kapalama Basin adjacent to the storage and terminal facilities in the vicinity of the United States owned piers 39 and 40. The slip is 151 feet wide by 544 feet long on the westerly side, 468 feet long on the easterly side, and 30 feet deep, and is intended for mooring of barges and small vessels only. Work was suspended on August 22, 1945. At that time, dredging was completed, piling was driven, and 450 lineal feet of concrete curtain wall and shelf were in place. There is a definite need for a powder and explosive terminal since existing facilities do not permit the proper handling of this type of cargo. Establishment of an anchorage area in or near by Honolulu Harbor is desired for the mooring of idle craft. Operations and results during fiscal year.-As maintenance, a hydrographic survey was completed, by hired labor, at a cost of $6,309.66. The expenditures were $6,500 from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in August 1945. The controlling depths in May 1952 were 40.2 feet in the entrance channel, 32 feet in the harbor basin, 34 feet in the connecting channel, and 32.7 feet in Kapalama Basin.

Location.-The Russian River rises in the Coast Ranges in northwestern 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.) Eaisting project.-The authorized project provides for the con- FLOOD CONTROL--SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2029 struction 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 earthfill type, with a total length of 4,600 feet, a crest at elevation 785, means 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 floodcontrol storage in about 4 days. The dam will create a reservoir having 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 runoff from 105 square miles of drainage area. The (1952) estimated cost to the United States is $14,774,000. The (1952) estimated annual cost of maintenance 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 channel stabilization works; (c) adjust all claims concerning water arising 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 improvements 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. Sonoma and Mendocino Counties have formed flood control and water conservation districts as an initial step toward meeting the requirements of local cooperation. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been accomplished. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $100,000 will be applied during the fiscal year 1953, to the initiation of engineering and design of the Coyote Valley reservoir.

S. ARMY, 1952 1. SAN JOAQUIN 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 Pittsburg 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 Stockton, a distance of 41 miles (suitably widened at bends and at the entrances to New York Slough arid to channels through shoals, with levees set back 230 feet from the center of the channel) ; for a channel 26 feet deep and 100 feet wide, thence to Edison Street three-fourths mile; for a 9-foot depth, thence to the head of navigation at El Dorado Street, one-half mile; for a 9-foot depth in Fremont Channel and McLeod Lake, arms of Stockton Channel; and for a channel 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide in Mormon Channel from its mouth to Center Street, head of navigation, 1.7 miles. It also provides for suitable passing basins and a turning basin at Stockton; for a triangular-shaped settling basin 30 feet deep and average side length of about 1,000 feet in the San Joaquin River just above its junction with the Stockton Deep Water Channel and a second settling basin 30 feet deep, 1,200 feet long, and 100 feet wide, adjoining the deep-water channel at the mouth of Calaveras River; for the reconstruction to grade and section of 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 cutoffs in the river; for partial closing of side channels at Laird Slough and Paradise Cut by weirs to confine the low-water flow to one main channel; and for snagging, removing overhanging trees, and constructing brush wing dams from the mouth of Stockton 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 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 Stockton Channel to afford a depth of 30 feet for a width of 150 feet between the existing turning basin and Weber Point; elimination of dredging of Mormon Channel RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2041 above Washington Street; filling of Mormon Channel and Mormon Slough between Washington Street and Wilson Way to the extent that may be economically accomplished with dredge spoil from the improvement of Mormon Channel, upper Stockton Channel, and the existing turning basin; constructing 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 Cut-off; and for levee changes and levee protective works below Stockton.

S. ARMY, 1952 Local cooperation.--All requirements for work accomplished to date under the authorization of the River and Harbor Acts through August 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 project; 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, easements, rightsof-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 accomplish all necessary utility relocations and alterations and the maintenance thereof; (c) contribute progressively as the project is constructed, 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 construction 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 including 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 wharf. Eight oceangoing vessels can be accommodated at one time at the Public Ocean Terminal. The port also owns and operates 585,700 square 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 capacity 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 military purposes. A naval supply depot (Stockton annex) has been completed on Rough and Ready Island, bounded by the Stockton Deep Water Channel on the north side, San Joaquin River on the east side, and Burns Cut-off on the south and west sides. 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- RIVERS AND HARBORS--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2043 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 Pittsburgh, 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. Present (1951) tonnage in and out of Stockton harbor is about 1,540,000 tons per year. Of this amount, about 950,000 tons per year constitutes deep draft cargo and the balance barge traffic. Traffic in and out of the port of Stockton is increasing rapidly and it is considered that construction of the facilities authorized by the 1950 River and Harbor Flood Control Act may be required in the relatively near future to accommodate additional traffic. Operations and results during the fiscal year.-New work: None. Maintenance: Dredging operations, by contract suction dredge, from February to May 1952, resulted in the removal of 500,617 cubic yards of material along the Stockton Deep Water Channel from Walters Island to Wright tract, opposite Wright tract, at the junction with Calaveras River, between Atherton Island and junction with San Joaquin River, below Burns Cut-off, and above Turner Cut. Use of the Government-owned hopper dredge Pacific and hired labor resulted in the removal of 22,497 cubic yards of material in New York Slough, near Pittsburg and Antioch, during January 1952. Operations also included preliminary surveys and preparation of plans and specifications by hired labor. Total cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $293,547.63, of which $270,298.13 was for contract work and $23,249.50 for hired labor work. Total expenditures were $293,333.24. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 33 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the construction authorized 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 channel, as necessary, around Rough and Ready Island including construction of a combination railroad and highway bridge; dredging a settling basin on San Joaquin River above the head of Burns Cut-off; 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. Mormon Channel was dredged from junction with Stockton Deep Water Channel to a point near Washington Street Bridge at Stockton in 1948. 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 248558-53--vol. 2--59 2044 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Suisun Bay to Mormon Channel, 41 miles, is 28 feet; thence to Edison Street, three-quarters of a mile, 22 feet; and thence to head at Eldorado 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 Railroad crossing) is impracticable in the low stages after June.

Location.-This is an artificial cut located about 3 miles east ofi 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 Mormon Slough before reaching Mormon and Stockton Channels by means of a dam in the slough 3 miles east of Stockton, and a canal 150 feet wide, with average cut of 7.9 feet, thence to the north branch of the Calaveras River, 4.63 miles; by the 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 $253,151.03, and the (1952) estimated Federal cost for annual maintenance is $8,000. 2046 REPORT OF ENGINEERS, OF CHIEF U. 1952 S. ARMY, 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, 63d Congress, 1st session. Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied with. Terminal facilities.-See report on San Joaquin River, Calif. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: None. Maintenance: Channel clearing in the Calaveras River and the diverting canal at scattered locations along the northerly city limits of Stockton was performed by hired labor and rented equipment from October to December 1951. Total cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $7,712.47, and total expenditures were $7,712.47. Condition at end of fiscal year.-All features of the existing project were completed in 1910. The structures involved are in good condition. Most of the silt formerly deposited in Stockton and Mormon Channels is diverted therefrom by this canal, obviating serious inconveniences to navigation and expensive annual dredging. The total cost was $393,031.52, of which $253,151.03 was for new work and $139,880.49 for maintenance. Total expenditures were $393,031.52. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $5,000 for maintenance in fiscal year 1953 will be applied as follows: Maintenance : Miscellaneous surveys and maintenance inspections, by hired labor, during fiscal year------------------------------------$500 Removal of brush, overhanging trees, and other obstructions from the by and banks of Calaveras River and the diverting canal, channel hired labor and Government-owned or rented equipment, November --------- 4, 500 and December 1952---------------------------5, 000 Total application of funds------------------------------- The sum of $8,000 can be profitably expended for the following schedule of work during the fiscal year 1954: Maintenance: Channel clearing and bank protection, by hired labor------------$7, 400 Miscellaneous inspections and special reports (contingencies), by hired labor ---------------------------------------------600 Total---------------- -------------------------------- 8,000 Cost and financial summary Fiscal year ending June 30- Total to June 30,1952, includ- 1948 New work: Appropriated Cost 1949 1950 1951 ..............---------------------------------- ------------ Expenditures------- ----------- -- --- 1952 $253, 151. 03 ----- ------- ing fiscal years priorto 1948 _ _- - 253, 151.03 - 253, 151.03 Maintenance: Appropriated - - - - - - -$500 Cost---------------------------Expenditures-------....................------------. $8, 100. 00 5, 573. 63 5, 237. 18 $8, 000.00 9, 359. 45 9, 695. 90 -$2, 071.83 6. 36 6. 36 $7, 712. 47 7, 712.47 7, 712. 47 139, 880. 49 139, 880.49 139, 880. 49 RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2047 3. SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIF. Location.-SacramentoRiver is formed by numerous streams draining 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, 1882; December 21, 1889; July 13, 1892; and August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1985, annual report for 1915, and page 1708, annual report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for construction of a ship channel 30 feet deep and 200 to 300 feet wide from deep water in Suisun Bay to Washington Lake, including such works as may be necessary to compensate for or to alleviate any possible detrimental effects on salinity of Delta tidal channels which might result from the ship channel; a triangular basin of equal depth, 2,400 by 2,000 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, 50 miles; and such depths as practicable, thence to Red Bluff, 52 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 provides 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, a distance of 60 miles. It has been completed and is still to be maintained for 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 on the deep water channel feature until responsible local agencies agree to furnish without cost to the United States all necessary lands, easements, rights-ofway, 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 assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will (a) construct, operate, and maintain at the Washington Lake Basin an adequate 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 SacramentoYolo 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 of this advance has been returned to the port authority. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2049 Initial port facilities installation as planned by local interests will consist of (a) 1 warehouse, 160 by 400 feet; (b) 2 transit sheds, 160 by 400 feet; (c) 1 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 terminal facilities has been prepared for the future development of the port and will cover all future expansion after initial development above described. The 500,000-bushel bulk-storage grain elevator with railway and highway connections was completed in 1950. No local cooperation is required on the shallow draft channel feature of the project. Recommended modification of project.-In House Document No. 1883, 64th Congress, second session, it was recommended that Chico Landing, 52.4 miles downstream from Red Bluff, be made the head of the improvement. Terminal facilities.-At Sacramento there are 4,810 linear feet of wharves, of which 1,850 linear feet are owned by the city and 420 linear feet are open to general public use. There are 245,700 square feet of warehouse space, of which 103,700 square feet are owned by the city and 21,000 square feet are open to general public use. All the preceding is for shallow-draft navigation. All the main wharves at Sacramento 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 500,000bushel bulk-storage grain elevator, with railway and highway connections, was completed in 1949-50. Plans have been drawn for a 1,500-foot wharf, with 2 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 Landing there are 47 warehouses and numerous small landings. Several oil companies have recently made major capital investments for the storage of petroleum products in the vicinity of Colusa. Freight is 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 : There were no new work operations on the shallow-draft portion of the project. Preliminary engineering for the 30-foot ship channel to Sacramento, including completion of design and preparation of plans and specifications for the barge canal lock, 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, by continuing contract, was completed in October 1951 and resulted in the removal of 400,653 cubic yards of material from the channel by hydraulic dredge and 118,806 cubic yards placed in levee set-back and reconstruction by land equipment. Total cost for new work was 2050 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, TJ. S. ARMY, 1952 $130,065.35, all of which was for the 30-foot channel. Total expenditures were $95,475.02. 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 $39,114.63, and expenditures therefor were $39,114.63. Maintenance: a. Above Sacramento (shallow draft)--dredging of critical shoals in Sacramento River at various locations from Sacramento to Colusa during July and August 1951, by hired labor and rented clamshell dredges, resulted in the removal of 144,168 cubic yards of material from the channel. b. At and below Sacramento (shallow draft)-preliminary surveys and the preparation of plans and specifications for maintenance along Sacramento River and its tributaries was accomplished by hired labor throughout the year. A contract dredge removed 411,075 cubic yards of material from the Sacramento River at Sacramento, from the M Street Bridge to the Y Street bend and from the I Street Bridge to the American River, during August and September 1951. Hired labor and rented clamshell dredge were used to remove 55,742 cubic yards of material along Steamboat Slough, from the junction with Cache Slough to Walkers Landing, during August 1951. Removal of snags from the Sacramento River at Sacramento, between the M Street and I Street Bridges, was accomplished by hired labor in December 1951. c. Deep water ship channel-preparation of plans and specifications for levee restoration along Ryer Island and Egbert Tract, near Rio Vista, was accomplished by hired labor from April to June 1952. Total cost of maintenance for both sections of shallow draft channels was $187,967.79 and for the deep water ship channel $716.13, a total of $188,683.92. Total expenditures were $188,700.36.

Condition at end of fiscal year.-The 10-foot channel below Sacramento was completed in 1931. The work remaining to be done to complete the shallow-draft portion of the project is the provision of a 5-foot depth between Colusa and Chico Landing (50 miles), subject results to be obtained by removal of snags, construction of wing dams, concentration of the channel by temporary works, and stream-flow regulation of 5,000 second-feet by operation of Shasta Reservoir. New work on the shallow-draft channel is about 67 percent complete. Construction of the 30-foot deep water ship channel, RIVERS AND HARBORS--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2051 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. Construction of road, railroad, and levee embankments in the harbor area was completed by contracts in October 1949 and February 1950. Excavation of the ship channel together with necessary levee reconstruction, mile 14.1 to mile 17.8, by contract, was completed in October 1951. Advance planning for the 30-foot ship channel, including completion of design and preparation of plans and specifications for the barge canal lock, was continued throughout the year. 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, 8 feet; thence to Colusa, 5 feet; thence to Chico Landing, 2 feet; and thence to Red Bluff, 1.5 feet. There is no regular navigation above Sidds Landing, 178 miles above the mouth of the river.

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 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 Chart No. 5534.) 2054 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 $142,026.28, and the (1952) estimate of Federal cost for annual maintenance is $75,000.

Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish free of cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance, undertake any necessary reconstruction of the power line crossing over the 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-The Government-owned hopper dredge Pacific was used in December 1951 and January 1952 to remove 44,834 cubic yards in maintenance dredging at the mouth of Suisun Channel, in Grizzly Bay, near Benicia. Total cost of operations was $10,000 for maintenance, and total expenditures were $10,000. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1947. The controlling depth is 7 feet in the channel and harbor basin. The total cost under the existing project was $217,676.65, for new work, and $67,707.25, for maintenance, a total of $285,383.90. Total expenditures were $285,383.90.

OLD RIVER, CALIF. Location.-Old River is the most westerly branch of the interconnecting tidal channels into which the San Joaquin River divides in crossing its delta. It leaves the main river 21/2 miles downstream from the Mossdale State highway bridge, or 131/2 miles above the mouth of Stockton Channel, and flows westerly and northerly 32 miles to its lower confluence with the main river, 23 miles above its mouth in Suisun Bay. Existing project.-This provides for the easing of three sharp bends in Old River between its mouth and Orwood (Santa Fe) Bridge; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Santa Fe wharves and Phillips cannery at Orwood; entrances 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the Fabian-Bell Canal at its westerly end and just west of the Grant Line Highway Bridge; enlargement of Grant Line Canal west of Doughty Cut to a depth of 10 feet and width of 100 feet; a channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide with suitable alinement from the westerly end of Doughty Cut to the Holly sugar factory; a channel 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide from the southerly end of Doughty Cut to the head of Old River; and a channel 6 feet deep and 80 feet wide in the original channel of Old River from the westerly end of Grant Line Canal to the Lammers Ferry Road. All depths are referred to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the head of Old River is about 2 feet; and at its mouth about 5.5 feet; ordinary flood ranges are, respectively, 15 feet and 8 feet; extreme flood ranges are, respectively, 19 feet and 11 feet. The estimates of Federal cost for new work and for annual maintenance (1952) are $79,400 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.-Localinterests 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 2058 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, 'U. S. ARMY, 1952 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". Operation and results during fiscal year.-There were no maintenance operations, and no costs were incurred. Total expenditures were $48.21 for payment of accounts payable from the previous fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 29 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, 6 feet, or (b) to head of Old River in San Joaquin River, 5 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 $249,886.91.

Location.-The streams comprising the Calaveras River and Littlejohn 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 direct, or through various sloughs, in the vicinity of Stockton, Calif. The Littlejohn Creek group drains 487 square miles, of which 184 square miles are below the base of the 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 fora. Construction of Farmington Reservoir, about 18 miles east of Stockton, with storage capacity of 52,000 acre-feet on Littlejohn Creek, Calif., for flood control, and construction of a diversion channel from Duck Creek to Littlejohn Creek, two dikes across downstream channels leading from Duck Creek to Mormon Slough, and enlargement of downstream Littlejohn Creek Channels; at an estimate of Federal first cost (1952) for new work of $3,729,000 ($2,758,000 for construction and $971,000 for lands and damages) and of $12,800 (1952) annually for maintenance and operation. b. Enlargement of Hogan Reservoir on Calaveras River, about 30 miles northeast of Stockton, for flood control and other purposes. The estimate of Federal first cost (1952) for new work is $14,120,000, of which $14,005,000 is for construction and $115,000 for lands and damages. The estimate of annual cost (based on 1940 price index) is $7,600. 2062 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 c. Bear Creek: Enlargement of 14.4 miles of existing channel, excavation of 1.3 miles of new channel and construction of 30 miles of levee on Bear Creek, in San Joaquin County, at an estimate of Federal first cost (1952) of $635,000. 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 Farmington Reservoir. Payment for conservation storage in Hogan Reservoir, when used, is to be made to the United States by the State of California or other responsible agency. The State of California has officially adopted the project. The State of California or other responsible 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, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction of the works; (2) make all necessary bridge and utility alterations; (3) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; and (4) maintain and operate all works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945, approved by the Governor of that State on July 19, 1945, provides for the furnishing of the assurances for the levee and channel improvements. All lands, easements, and rights-of-way were furnished free of cost to the United States for Duck Creek Channel improvements. Assurances were requested from the State of California for clearing and enlargement of downstream channels of Littlejohn Creek and its distributaries. Assurances for Bear Creek Channel improvements have not been requested pending completion of detailed project plans. Recommended modifications of project.-In House Document No. 367, 81st 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 channel improvement, such work to extend from its source at Mormon Slough to its confluence with the lower Calaveras River. The recommended 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work: a. Farmington Reservoir: Preliminary engineering, including preparation of contract plans and specifications, was continued. Acquisition of real estate lands and/or flowage easements was completed except for legal proceedings. Construction of the Duck Creek channel improvements, which was initiated in May 1951, by contract, was completed in November 1951; 37,205 cubic yards of material were excavated and 233 cubic yards of concrete were placed during the fiscal year. Construction of Littlejohn Creek gaging station, and suspension cable for pipe crossing and panel gates, by contract, was initiated in January 1952 and completed in May 1952. Relocation of the Farmington telephone system within the reservoir area, by negotiated contract, which was initiated in March 1951, was completed in July 1951. Relocation of Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. lines FLOOD CONTROI-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2063 and appurtenances, by negotiated contract, which was started in June 1951, was completed in August 1951. Relocation of Pacific Gas & Electric Co. power distribution lines, by negotiated contract, was started in December 1951 and completed in May 1952. Relocation of Pacific Gas & Electric Co. power transmission lines, by negotiated contract, was initiated in May 1952, is 10 percent complete, and is scheduled for completion about December 1952. Relocation of portions of Sonora Road, by negotiated contracts with San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties, which was initiated in June 1951 under both contracts, was completed in January 1952 by San Joaquin County and in April 1952 by Stanislaus County. Farmington Reservoir and the Duck Creek channel improvements were operated for flood control under interim regulations during the 1951-52 flood season, and a major flash flood which occurred in March 1952 was controlled to minor proportions. Project channel capacities on Littlejohn Creek below Farmington Reservoir have not been restored; therefore flows were restricted during the year to a generally nondamaging rate of about 1,100 cubic feet per second instead of the project capacity of 2,000 cubic feet per second. The maximum reservoir storage during the year was about 19,000 acre-feet compared with the full capacity of 52,000 acre-feet. The total cost of new work for Farmington Reservoir during the fiscal year was $479,995.19, of which $473,245.27 was from United States funds and $6,749.92 from contributed funds. The total expenditures for new work were $517,201.76, of which $510,277.17 was from United States funds and $6,924.59 from contributed funds. b. Bear Creek channel improvements: There were no operations, no expenditures, and no costs were incurred. c. Hogan Reservoir: A minor amount of preliminary engineering was accomplished during July 1951; further operations were suspended due to lack of funds. Total cost of new work for preliminary engineering during the fiscal year was $30, and total expenditures were $717.01. Total cost of new work for the entire project during the fiscal year was $480,025.19, of which $473,275.27 was from United States funds and $6,749.92 from contributed funds. Total expenditures were $517,918.77, of which $510,994.18 was from United States funds and $6,924.59 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-New work: a. Farmington Reservoir : Preliminary engineering, including preparation of contract plans and specifications was continued. Acquisition of real estate lands and/or flowage easements has been completed except for legal proceedings. 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 appurtenances, November 1950; and main dam and spillway, June 1951. Fabrication of slide gates and appurtenances, by supply contract, was completed in August 1950. Two minor telephone line relocations were accomplished in July 1950, and a power distribution line relocation was completed in February 1951. Work completed in fiscal year 1952 includes: Construction of the Duck Creek channel improvement, November 1951. Construc- 2064 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

MERCED COUNTY $7,000.00 6, 749. 92 6, 924. 59 $250. 08 250. 08 STREIAM GROUP, CALIF. Location.-The streams comprising the Merced County stream group rise in the Sierra Nevada foothills of the Central Valley of California and flow in a general westerly direction to join the San Joaquin River west of the city of Merced. The streams form three general groups; Bear Creek with its tributaries, Black Rascal, Canal, Fahrens, and Burns Creeks; Mariposa Creek with its tributaries, Miles and Owens Creeks; and Deadmans Creek with its tributaries, Little Deadmans, Big Deadmans, and Dutchmans Creek. The latter group crosses an undeveloped area of low grade pasture land 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. Geological Survey Haystack Mountain quadrangle for Burns Reservoir area and Indian Gulch quadrangle for Bear, Owens, and Mariposa Reservoirs areas.) Ewisting project.-The project is located east of the city of Merced and provides for construction of flood detention reservoirs of (a) 7,000 acre-feet capacity on Burns Creek, (b) 7,700 acre-feet capacity on Bear Creek, (c) 3,600 acre-feet capacity on Owens Creek, (d) 15,000 acre-feet capacity on Mariposa Creek, (e) together with diver- FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2067 sion canals between Black Rascal and Bear Creeks and between Owens and Mariposa Creeks; all at an estimate of Federal first cost (1952) of $2,794,000 for new work and of $15,000 annually for maintenance and operation of the reservoirs, dams, and appurtenant gages. In addition, channel enlargement on Miles Creek and restoration of impaired channel capacities of Black Rascal, Burns, Bear, Owens, and Mariposa Creeks is to be accomplished by responsible local interests. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 473, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation.-Constructionof the project is subject to the conditions that the State of California or other responsible local agencies give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will (a) provide without cost to the United States all land, easements and rights-of-way necessary for the construction; (b) bear the expense of all necessary highway and utility changes; (c) complete the enlargement of the channel of Miles Creek and restore the channel capacities of Black Rascal, Burns, Bear, Owens, and Mariposa Creeks in accordance with the plan of the district engineer; (d) hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from 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 assurances 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: Preliminary engineering, including preparation of contract plans and specifications for gaging station, was completed in the fiscal year. Construction of the Mariposa Creek gaging station, by contract, was started in January 1952 and completed in June 1952. Preparation of operation and maintenance manual was under way from February through June 1952. Total cost of new work during the fiscal year was $8,399.39 from Federal funds. Owens Dam and Reservoir: Contract plans and specifications were prepared for the Owens-Mariposa Road and Owens Dam abutment drains, and construction, by contract, was accomplished from January to June 1952. Preparation of operation and maintenance manual was under way from March through June 1952. Total cost of new work during the fiscal year was $12,747.06 from Federal funds. Burns Dam and Reservoir: Total cost of new work during the fiscal year for South Pacific division laboratory record testing and for work on preparation of operation and maintenance manual, which was un- 2058 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 der way from March through June 1952, was $3,193.95 from Federal funds. Bear Dam and Reservoir: Preliminary engineering was continued throughout the fiscal year. Total cost of new work during the fiscal year was $2,030.40 from Federal funds. Channel improvements, Black Rascal and Owens Creek: Preliminary engineering, including laboratory tests, was continued throughout the fiscal year. Total cost of new work during the fiscal year was $5,616.53 from Federal funds. Maintenance: Periodic gage reading and operations studies, including repairs and maintenance of gaging structures, for the Merced County stream group was accomplished during the fiscal year by hired labor. Check valves on gages at Owens and Mariposa Dams were replaced in November 1951 by hired labor. Total cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $2,803.75 from Federal funds. Total cost of new work for the entire project during the fiscal year was $31,987.33 from United States funds. Total expenditures for new work were $19,807.65 from United States funds. Total Federal cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $2,803.75, and total expenditures were $2,803.75. Condition at end of fiscal year. New work: The project is about 64 percent completed. Construction of this improvement was initiated in March 1948. Mariposa Dam and Reservoir was completed in November 1948, Owens Dam and Reservoir in October 1949, and Burns Dam and Reservoir in January 1950. Contract plans are complete for Bear Dam outlet works and are in preparation for the remaining work items of the project. New work items remaining to be done include completion of operation and maintenance manuals and construction of Bear Dam outlet works, Bear Dam and Reservoir, Owens and Black Rascal Creeks channel improvements, Owens and Black Rascal diversion channels gaging stations and sedimentation ranges. The three completed reservoirs were in operation as units of the improvement designed to protect the city of Merced and adjoining agricultural area during the 1951-52 flood season and controlled several floods with a maximum storage of 1,400 acre-feet in Burns Reservoir, 1,100 acre-feet in Owens Reservoir, and 4,500 acre-feet in Mariposa Reservoir. As a result, flows in downstream channels were generally restricted to nondamaging rates; however, some moderate flooding of agricultural areas was experienced along restricted sections of Bear and Mariposa Creeks. All such flooding would have been eliminated if the remaining reservoir unit, Bear Dam and Reservoir, and the downstream channel improvement and diversion works had been completed. Total cost of new work for the project was $1,780,242.50 from United States funds and $37,981.92 from contributed funds, a total of $1,818,224.42. Total expenditures were $1,767,624.86 from United States funds, and $37,981.92 from contributed funds, a total of $1,805,606.78. Total Federal maintenance costs and expenditures for the project were $7,808.46.

ISABELLA RESERVOIR, KERN RIVER, CALIF. Location.-The area covered by this project comprises the upper watershed of Kern River, its valley alluvial fan (which includes the Buena Vista Lake area and a large portion of that part of the San Joaquin Valley floor south of Tulare Lake), and the Tulare Lake area. 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 run-off the flow of Kern River below Bakersfield is gradually dissipated 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.-The project is located about 50 miles northeast of the city of Bakersfield and provides for construction of an earthfill dam near the confluence of the North and South Forks of Kern River FLOOD CONTROL---SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2071 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 3,257 feet and a maximum height of 100 feet. These structures will create a 550,000 acrefoot reservoir. No initial provisions will be made for power penstocks through the dam at this time. The estimate of Federal first cost (1952) is $21,710,000 for new work, consisting of $17,765,000 for construction and $3,945,000 for lands and damages. The (1952) estimate for annual cost of Federal maintenance and operation of the reservoir is $71,000. 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 Reclamation, the Department of the Army, and local organizations, is to be made to the United States by the State or other responsible agency for the conservation storage when used. Local interests state they will meet these requirements. The State of California has officially adopted the project. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Preparation of detailed plans for the project and contract plans and specifications for construction was continued. Land acquisition (including improvements, disposals, and damages) and operation of temporary housing facilities and Government camp was continued. Construction of the main dam and Borel Canal outlet works and appurtenances, and completion of auxiliary dam, by continuing contract, was initiated in November 1951, is 44 percent complete, and will be completed about April 1953. Work placed under this contract includes: 80,000 cubic yards excavation for auxiliary dam foundation and cutoff trench; 286,800 cubic yards excavation for main dam spillway; 127,377 cubic yards excavation for main dam foundation and cutoff trench; 120,971 tons sand, gravel, and cobbles and 91,235 tons dumped riprap and derrick stone placed; 67 percent of construction of auxiliary dam embankment; 69 percent of main dam grout curtain; 100 percent of excavation for Borel Canal and control works; and 80 percent of all work in connection with relocation of Borel Canal through the auxiliary dam. Concreting of main dam outlet works and installation of gates, by contract, which was started in June 1950, was completed in January 1952; work placed during the fiscal year included 110 cubic yards structural concrete and 30,069 linear feet miscellaneous piping and metals. A supply contract to furnish and install an elevator in the main dam control tower was initiated in November 1950 and completed in January 1952. Alteration of Borel Canal and appurtenant facilities, which was initiated in January 1951 by continuing contract, was completed in May 1952. Reservoir clearing operations, area A, by contract, started in November 1951 and were completed in June 1952; 398 acres were cleared. Relocation of the Fairview-Kernville county road by continuing contract, started in February 1950, was completed in May 1952.

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 FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2075 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 for flood control and other purposes with a gross storage capacity of 1,000,000 acre-feet and for supplemental channel improvement works on Kings River. Pine Flat Reservoir is located about 3 miles upstream from Piedra and about 25 miles east of the city of Fresno. The total crest length of the structure will be 1,820 feet and the maximum height about 440 feet. The overflow spillway in the river channel will have a gross crest length of about 292 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 391,000 cubic feet per second. Provisions will be made for irrigation and flood-control releases. Penstock outlets for future power use will be located in the right abutment section of the dam. The estimate of Federal first cost (1952) is $47,850,000 for new work consisting of $47,135;000 for construction and $715,000 for lands and damages. The (1952) estimate for annual cost of Federal maintenance and operation of the reservoir is $112,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 630, 76th Cong., 3d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Recommended modifications of project.-In House Document No. 367, 81st Congress, 1st 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 published in House Document 136, 80th Congress, 1st session. The exact amount is to be agreed upon between the Bureau of Reclamation of the Department of the Interior and the local agencies concerned. Negotiations with local interests are now under way. The State of California has officially adopted the project. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Preparationof project plans and contract plans and specifications by hired labor was continued, and test pits were sunk and core drilling accomplished, by contract, at bridge sites for the River Road relocation. Land acquisition (including improvements, disposals, and damages) and operation of the Government camp were continued. Construction of the main dam, by continuing contract, initiated in January 1950 is about 58 percent complete; 42 percent of the work was accomplished during the fiscal year and included 7,259 cubic yards excavation, placement of 1,115,434 cubic yards mass concrete and 875,784 pounds steel reinforcement, and 14,579 square yards foundation cleanup, and installation of sluice gates is about 90 percent completed. Sluice gates and appurtenances, which were fabricated under a continuing supply contract, were delivered in August 1951. Fabrication of tainter gates and appurtenances, which was initiated in July 1950 by supply con248558--53-vol. 2---61 2076 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 tract, is about 49 percent complete; 42 percent was accomplished during the fiscal year. Fabrication of penstock stoplog gates, which was initiated in December 1950 by supply contract, was completed in July 1951. Fabrication of elevator and appurtenant equipment for the dam, which was initiated in October 1950 by supply contract, is 35 percent complete; 31 percent of the work was accomplished this period. Installation of gaging stations, which was started in October 1950 by Government plant and hired labor, is 80 percent complete; 70 percent of the work was placed this period. Construction of Sycamore Creek Road in the vicinity of Trimmer, Fresno County, by continuing contract, was initiated in February 1951 and is 94 percent complete; 59 percent of the work was placed this period and consisted of 20 acres cleared and grubbed, 295,793 cubic yards unelassified excavation, and placement of 13,333 cubic yards base course material and 3,605 linear feet miscellaneous metal pipe. Construction of the River Road relocation and the Sycamore Creek gaging station, by continuing contract, was initiated in April 1952 and is 20 percent complete; during the fiscal year work included 34 acres cleared and grubbed, 121,338 cubic yards unclassified excavation, and 737 cubic yards structural excavation. Reservoir clearing, by contract, was initiated in January 1952 and is 46 percent completed. Removal of Pacific Gas & Electric Co.'s power distribution lines, by negotiated contract, was started in March 1952 and is 90 percent completed. Relocation of Southern California Edison Co.'s Vincent power transmission line, related telephone line, and appurtenances, by negotiated contract, was started in March 1952 and is 85 percent completed. Establishment of sedimentation ranges for Pine Flat Reservoir was initiated in August 1951 by hired labor and Government plant and is 99 percent completed. Funds were transferred to the United States Forest Service to provide for relocation of Forest Service facilities which will interfere with operation of the Pine Flat project. Frequent winter storms caused very large snow pack to accumulate on the Kings River Basin with resultant abnormally large spring snow-melt runoff. If uncontrolled, this runoff would have caused flood damage along valley reaches of Kings River and would have augmented flood damage in the Tulare lakebed area which receives the excess runoff of Kern, Kaweah, Tule, and Kings Rivers. The partially completed reservoir and associated downstream diversion works were operated for flood control during May, June, and July under interim regulations. A maximum of 131,000 acre-feet of floodwater was stored in 180,000 acre-feet of space available in the reservoir, flows in downstream channels of the Kings River system were restricted to nondamaging rates, and the flow into Tulare Lake from Kings River was reduced from about 320,000 to 220,000 acrefeet. As a consequence failure of major levees in Tulare lakebed area was delayed until June 2 after crops had been harvested, and the amount of carryover flood water in the lake was reduced. Total cost of new work during the fiscal year was $12,130,726.55, and total expenditures were $11,588,716.18. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Preparationof project plans and contract plans and specifications and acquisition of land were con- FLOOD CONTROL---SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2077 tinued. Operation of the Government camp and facilities was continued.

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., about 1 mile below the confluence of the north and south forks of this stream, and about 20 miles upstream from the city of Sacramento. 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 contains 2,115 square miles of which 1,875 square miles are above the dam site. (See U. S. Geological Survey Folsom, Auburn, and Placerville quadrangles of the area.) Existing project.-The authorization provided for the construction initially of a dam with gross storage of 355,000 acre-feet, and facilities 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 construction of the power facilities by the United States Bureau of Reclamation, 2080 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 and subsequent maintenance and operation of the completed project by that agency in conjunction with other units of the Central Valley project. The act also provides 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. Earthfill wing dams on each side of the river with a maximum height of 145 feet 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 earthfill 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 earthfill 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 height will vary from about 10 feet to 100 feet. Outlets will be provided for irrigation and flood-control releases and for power generation. The estimate of Federal first cost (1952) is $58,560,000 for new work, consisting of $55,710,000 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.).

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 southwest 4 miles and then divides into numerous distributary channels. Flows in these channels not diverted for irrigation or lost by seepage cross the delta region 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 FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2085 Springville, 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. The Terminus project will be located on the Kaweah River, and will consist of an earthfill dam and reservoir about 20 miles upstream from the city of Visalia and supplemental spreading works on the valley floor. The Success project will consist of an earthfill dam and auxiliary dam with a capacity of 75,000 acre-feet located on the Tule River about 4 miles upstream from the city of Porterville. The estimate of Federal first cost (1952) is $27,045,000 for new work, of which $14,765,000, consisting of $13,975,000 for construction and $790,000 for lands and damages, is for Terminus, and $12,280,000, consisting of $11,329,000 for construction and $951,000 for lands and damages, is for Success. The estimate of annual cost (based on 1940 price index) for Federal maintenance and operation of the reservoirs is $13,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. R. Flood Control Committee 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 Reclamation, the Department of the Army, and local organizations, is to be made to the United States by the State or other responsible agency for the conservation storage, when used. Local interests 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 $5,119.45 and expenditures were $6,275.56 for work on project plans. b. Success Reservoir on Tule River: The cost of new work during the year was $1,810.43 and expenditures were $2,417.31 for work on project plans. Total cost of new work for the project during the year was $6,929.88 and total expenditures were $8,692.87. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Project plans and reports are in preparation. Field explorations at Terminus and Success and core drilling at Frazier Valley Dike site for Success Reservoir have been accomplished. Construction work for this project has not been started. Preliminary engineering for Terminus Reservoir is about 50 percent completed and for Success Reservoir about 65 percent completed. Total cost of new work for the project was $744,789.43, of which $343,471.63 was for Terminus Reservoir and $401,317.80 for Success Reservoir. Total expenditures were $744,789.43. Proposed operations.-There was no unexpended balance on June 30, 1952. No operations are proposed for Terminus and Success Reservoirs during fiscal years 1953 and 1954. 2086 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 swamp lands through which the river flows with numerous side channels and sloughs to join the Sacramento River at the head of Suisun Bay near Pittsburg. The river drains an area of 17,000 square miles. The Tuolumne and Stanislaus Rivers, two of the principal tributaries of the San Joaquin River, likewise have their sources in the Sierra Nevada, and flow in a generally westerly direction through the mountains and foothills to enter the alluvial valley and join the main river from the east in its lower reaches. Stockton, at the head of the delta, and Fresno, just south of the San Joaquin watershed, are the principal commercial and distributing 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-craft 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 estimate of Federal first cost (1952) for new work of $47,810,000, of which $44,112,000 is for construction and $31698,000 for lands and damages, and an estimate (based on 1940 price index) of $30,000 annually for maintenance and operation; (b) an expenditure toward the first cost of the Cherry Valley Reservoir and the New Don Pedro Reservoir in the Tuolumne Basin, in amount justified by proportionate benefits to flood control, estimated at $12,000,000 (1952) for the equivalent of 340,000 acre-feet of floodcontrol storage; and (o) construction of channel improvement works and levee construction and reconstruction on San Joaquin River and tributary channels, at an estimate of Federal first cost (1952) of $5,232,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. R. Flood Control Committee Doe. 2, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2087 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 Tuolhmne River Basin: Local interests are to construct, maintain, and operate the dams and reservoirs, allocate storage for flood control and agree to operate such storage in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary of 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 facilities 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 subsequent maintenance and operation; and (3) maintain all levees and channel improvements 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 meeting of the latter requirements as to levee and channel improvement work. These assurances will be furnished when required. Recommended modifications of project.-In House Document No. 367, 81st Congress, 1st session, it was recommended that powergenerating 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 operation 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 irrigation district operated the existing Don Pedro Reservoir facilities for flood control (phase I of the project) during the year. Compilation of technical supporting data and derivation of rules and regulations covering flood-control operations under phase II of the project (Cherry Valley Reservoir) were continued during the fiscal year. Construction of the Cherry Valley Reservoir was initiated in September 1950 by the contractors. Work under way during the fiscal year included construction of power and communication lines, access roads, and permanent housing for operating personnel. 2088 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 c. Construction of channel improvement works and levee construction on lower San Joaquin River and tributaries: Preliminary engineering and design studies were continued during the first half of the fiscal year. Two survey contracts for topographic mapping initiated in May 1951 in order to establish design criteria for the levees and for the purpose of determining flowage-easement requirements, were completed. Further preliminary engineering activities were discontinued due to lack of funds. The total cost of new work for the project during the fiscal year was $3,592,308.63 of which $3,394,601.61 was for Cherry Valley Reservoir, Tuolumne River Basin and $197,707.02 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 $3,584,001.80, of which $3,400,512.95 was for Cherry Valley Reservoir, Tuolumne River Basin, and $183,488.85 for lower San Joaquin River and tributaries. Condition at end of fiscal year.--a. New Melones Reservoir (Stanislaus River): Preliminary engineering, including studies of general flood-control and irrigation benefits, is about 5 percent complete. 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 regulations furnished by the district engineer. Construction of Cherry Valley Reservoir was initiated in September 1950 by the contractors. Core drilling operations at the dam site have been completed. Work under way includes construction of power and communication lines, access roads, and permanent housing for operating personnel. Work remaining to be done includes construction of diversion and outlet tunnel, main dam and spillway, and roads and utilities, and reservoir clearing operations. c. Construction of channel improvement works and levee construction on lower San Joaquin River and tributaries: Preliminary engineering, as a whole, is about 25 percent completed. Two survey contracts for topographic mapping have been completed. Further activities have been discontinued due to lack of funds. The total cost of new work for the entire project was $5,394,129.04, of which $63,155.84 was for New Melones Reservoir, Stanislaus River, $5,014,838.69 for Cherry Valley Reservoir, Tuolumne River Basin, and $316,134.51 for lower San Joaquin River and tributaries. Total expenditures for the entire project were $5,382,914.21, of which $70,155.84 was for New Melones Reservoir, $5,014,051.87 for Cherry Valley Reservoir, and $298,706.50 for lower San Joaquin River and tributaries.

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 enlargement of levees and local improvements on Sacramento River and major and minor tributaries: Channel improvement and levee construction along Little Chico and Butte Creeks from Highway 99E downstream 8.7 miles, near Chico, Calif., which was initiated in July 1950 by contract, was completed in April 1952. During the fiscal year 44 acres were cleared, and 703,067 cubic yards levee embankment and 16,676 tons crushed mineral aggregate were placed. Preliminary engineering, including field surveys and preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications, was continued. The federal cost of new work during the fiscal year was $252,517.85, and expenditures were $312,115.41. b. Black Butte Reservoir: The cost of new work during the fiscal year was $4,420.25 for preliminary engineering, principally laboratory tests. The expenditures were $4,420.25. c. Table Mountain Reservoir: There were no operations during the fiscal year, and the amount of both costs and expenditures is a credit of $1,500, which was returned by another Federal agency. Total cost of new work for the project during the fiscal year was $255,438.10 and total expenditures were $315,035.66. Condition at end of fiscal year.-a. Construction and enlargement of levees and local improvements on Sacramento River and major and minor tributaries: Preliminary engineering, including preparation of detailed plans and contract plans and specifications and site explorations, was continued and is about 34 percent completed. Con, struction 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, Calif., was completed in April 1952. The project is about 5 percent complete. Levee work remaining to be done includes enlargement of existing 2 48558--53-vol. 2- 62 2092 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 includes construction and channel enlargement on the following minor tributaries of the Sacramento River: Antelope Creek; Little ChicoButte Creek above Highway 99E, 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 protection 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 $1,687,987.56 and total expenditures were $1,689,075.45. b. Black Butte Dam and Reservoir: Preliminary engineering, including site explorations and laboratory testing, is about 17 percent complete. Further preliminary engineering activities were discontinued due to lack of funds. Construction has not been initiated for this project. Total cost of new work was $101,260.11, and total expenditures were $101,260.11. c. Table Mountain (Iron Canyon) Dam and Reservoir: Preliminary engineering for the project is about 25 percent completed. Further preliminary investigations and engineering studies for the reservoir have been indefinitely delayed because of lack of agreement 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 $614,608.07. Total expenditures were $637,608.07. Total cost of new work for the entire project was $2,403,855.74, and total expenditures were $2,427,943.63.

REDMOND AND VICINITY, SEVIER RIVER, UTAH Location.-Sevier River drains an area of about 11,100 square miles of the Great Basin in southwestern Utah. It rises in the mountains of southern Utah, flows northerly about 240 miles, thence southwesterly 85 miles and empties into Sevier Lake which has no outlet Redmond is on the west bank of the river 155 miles above its mouth. San Pitch River enters Sevier River from the east 12 miles below Redmond. The section of Sevier River Valley in this project extends from the crossing of United States Highway 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 mountains cut by narrow stream valleys. Between Salina and the San Pitch River, the stream flows through a mountain valley averaging about 4 miles wide. Existing project.-The project comprises an improvement of Sevier River in the vicinity of Redmond, Utah. Construction has been completed and the project was accepted by local interests on August 7, 1951. The problem involved impairment of channel capacity and agricultural drainage resulting from channel aggradation and obstructive diversion dams. The project consists of (a) an excavated channel enlargement commencing near the mouth of Salina Creek and extending about 14 miles downstream, (b) a levee extending from the Westview diversion dam at its relocated site to Redmond Lake Dam, and (c) the replacement of two obstructive diversion dams with radial-gated structures, all at an estimated cost (1952) to the United States of $919,000 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 were required to contribute $48,000 toward the first cost in addition to furnishing assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they would (a) provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights- 2094 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 3 new highway bridges and the irrigation flume required, extend and improve the 2 irrigation canals, extend the outlets of the existing tile drainage system to the improved river channel, and construct the open drainage ditch at Redmond; and (d) maintain and operate all the works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. The above contribution was made, and the required assurances furnished and accepted. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Operations consisted of completion of operation and maintenance manual. The costs were $1,564.63 from regular funds for new work, and expenditures were $1,811.79. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionunder this improvement was initiated in July 1948 and completed in March 1951. There is no work remaining to be done. Total cost to date for new work was $967,000 of which $919,000 were United States funds and $48,000 were contributed project funds. Total expenditures were $966,977.39, of which $918,977.39 were United States funds and $48,000 were contributed project funds. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1952, amounting to $22.61 and accounts receivable of $77.39, a total of $100, will be applied as follows: Accounts payable June 30, 1952 ______ __- ________________- $100 No additional funds are required; the project has been completed with funds allotted.

SPANISH FORK RIVER, UTAH Location.-Spanish Fork River rises in the Wasatch Mountains in the southeastern part of Utah County, Utah, and flows northwesterly to Utah Lake, a component of the Jordan River system draining into Great Salt Lake near Salt Lake City. The flood-control improvements are located in the lower 13 miles of the river near Spanish Fork, Utah. Existing project.--The plan of improvement provides for the control of floods by improving the river channel and constructing levees for a distance of about 6.7 miles from the mouth of the river at Utah Lake upstream to the county highway bridge west of the town of FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 2095 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 improvements also are included. 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. Doc. 518, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest map.) The approved estimate of Federal first cost (1952) is $205,000 and estimated cost (1952) to local interests is $66,000. Local cooperation.-See pages 4-5 for requirements. In addition, local interests are required to bear the expense of all necessary alterations of roads, bridges, utilities, and irrigation works. The necessary assurances have not been requested from local interests pending completion 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.-There are no funds available and no operations are proposed for fiscal year 1953. The sum of $15,000 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1954 for new work, comprising engineering and design studies and preparation of plans and specifications by hired labor.

SNAGGING AND CLEARING UNDER AUTHORITY OF SECTION 2 OF THE FLOOD CONTROL ACT APPROVED AUGUST 28, 1937, AS AMENDED Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved August 28, 1937, as amended by section 9 of the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941, was further amended by section 13 of the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946, to read as follows: That the Secretary of War is hereby authorized to allot not to exceed $1,000,000 from any appropriations heretofore or hereafter made for any 1 fiscal year for flood control, for removing accumulated snags and other debris, and clearing 2100 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 and straightening the channel in navigable streams and tributaries thereof, when in the opinion of the Chief of Engineers such work is advisable in the interest of flood control: Provided, That not more than $50,000 shall be expended for this purpose for any single tributary from the appropriations for any 1 fiscal year." Operations during the fiscal year included channel clearing and snagging along Middle River in the vicinity of Reclamation District No. 544, California; along Berenda and Ash Sloughs, near Chowchilla, Calif.; along Kings River, near Sanger and Kingsburg, Calif.; along Los Banos Creek, near Los Banos, Calif.; along Tule River, in vicinity of Bartlett Park to Porterville, Calif.; along Carson River, near Carson City, Nev.; and along Truckee River, from Reno to Vista, Nev. Prior to initiation of this work local interests furnished assurances that they would furnish all rights-of-way without cost to the United States, hold and save the United States harmless from damages that might occur as a result of the work, and maintain the completed work. Operations during the fiscal year also included clearing and snagging the Truckee River at Reno, Nev. For this project local interests were required to provide rights-of-way necessary for the work; complete the demolition of two existing concrete dams opposite Wingfield Park which obstructed the channel, and bear the cost thereof; hold and save the United States free from damages, including the demolition of the existing dams, resulting from the work; and to maintain the channel of the Truckee River after completion in a manner satisfactory to the Chief of Engineers. The city of Reno furnished the required assurance agreement. Plans and specifications for equipment rental were prepared for snagging and clearing along Merced River from town of Merced Falls, Calif., to its confluence with San Joaquin River. Snagging and clearing operations were not initiated during the fiscal year; it is estimated that this work will be started about September 1952. Local interests have furnished assurances that they will provide all necessary rightsof-way, hold and save the United States free from all claims for damages that may occur as a result of the work, and maintain the completed works.

COLUMBIA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES ABOVE CELILO FALLS KENNEWICK, WASH. 2193 2194 2195 TO Location.-This project includes improvement of the 128-mile stretch between the head of Celilo Falls and Kennewick, Wash. For brief description of Columbia River, see page 2138. (See U. S. Geological Survey map of Washington.) Previous project.-The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 10, 1872, and modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907. For further details, see page 1992 of annual report for 1915; page 1889, annual report for 1931; and page 1845, annual report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel 7 feet deep and 150 feet wide at low water from Celilo Falls to Wallula, with no specified depth or width between Wallula and the mouth of the Snake River; for an approach channel 6 feet deep at low water 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 (1894) reached a stage of 341/2 feet at Umatilla. Freshets due to rains sometimes occur in the early winter, but rarely exceed a 9-foot stage. Ice conditions, usually occurring in January or February, sometimes suspend navigation for 2 weeks or more. 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 latest (1952) approved estimate of cost for new work is $1,604,000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. This does RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2107 not include any amount for Umatilla Rapids and mouth of Snake River. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $120,000. The existing project was authorized by the following River and Harbor Acts: Acts Apr.

Local cooperation.--The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides that for each of the Arlington and Kennewick channels local interests give assurance that they will construct a suitable freight terminal, open to all on equal terms, and for the Kennewick channel that they furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights of way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the improvements and their subsequent 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 wrre 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; a bulk grain elevator of 1,200,000-bushel capacity, with rail and truck connections with a dock now being constructed for water connections, is located at Kennewick, Wash. (mile 129.6 above Celilo) ; 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 Kelley, Wash. (mile 110.6 above Celilo), with capacities of 40,000 and 44,000 bushels; a 340,000-bushel elevator at Umatilla (mile 88 above Celilo); and a 40,000-bushel elevator at 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, Oreg., there is a privately owned wharf for the shipment of lumber and general cargo by barge. Also, on the Oregon shore, across the river from Patterson, Wash. (mile 76 above Celilo), there is a privately owned dock for the shipment of general cargo by barge. 248558-53-vol. 2---63 2108 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARIVIY, 1952 Located on the Snake River, a tributary of the Columbia River, (mile 1.6 from mouth) there are privately owned storage facilities for .handling petroleum products with a capacity of 18,434,178 gallons with pipeline, rail, truck, and water connections. These facilities, with planned extensions, are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Maintenance: Hydrographic condition surveys were made at a cost at $2,421. During the month of September dredging by the bucket dredge Montecello removed 3,000 cubic yards of material from Hells Gate Rapids at a cost of $7,419. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $9,840.33 all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is approximately 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 underway 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. The present pool length with temporary control during the construction period varies between 25 and 27 miles. The McNary Dam when completed will create a slack water pool of more than project depths from the McNary Dam to Kennewick, Wash. Total costs and expenditures have been $2,122,417.37 of which $1,356,584.37 (including $400,000 Emergency Relief funds) was for new work and $765,833 for maintenance. Proposedoperations.--The allotment of $34,600 received in August will be applied to maintenance as follows: Dredging channel below McNary Dam by Corps of Engineers dredge 501 $31,450 about 2 months (August and September) -------------Condition surveys by hired labor-------------------------------2, 700 450 Inspections and reports----------------------- -----------------Total --- ---------------- ------ ----- 34, 600 The additional sum of $40,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1954 for maintenance consisting of channel dredging, condition surveys, and miscellaneous inspections and reports.

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 hydroelectric power generation. The dam is designed for a normal pool at elevation 160 mean sea level. The normal pool will create a reservoir extending upstream about 31 miles, providing slackwater to the next upstream dam at the John Day site. The total length of The Dalles Dam will be approximately 8,600 feet and will consist of an earth and rock embankment closure section from the Oregon shore connecting to the powerhouse, then a concrete nonoverflow section connecting with spillway which will extend to the navigation lock located at the right abutment on Washington shore. Fish passing facilities including two ladders will be provided. The 2,150-foot powerhouse will be constructed for 16 units with 14 units installed initially and substructure will be constructed for 6 additional units, an ultimate total of 22 units. The rated capacity of each unit is to be 78,000 kilowatts and the initial installation is to be 1,092,000 kilowatts. The spillway dam will be 1,370 feet long and located near the right abutment. The overflow crest at elevation 121 mean sea level will be surmounted with 23 radial gates 50 feet wide by 43 feet high which will provide capacity to pass a spillway 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 2 gantry cranes. The navigation lock will have clear plan dimensions of 86 by 675 feet and a single lift of about 87.5 feet with minimum depth over the sill 15 feet and normally 20 feet. The lock will include upstream and downstream guard and guide walls to protect boats and tows from adverse currents. The structures will be founded on Columbia River basalt. The estimate of cost for new work revised in 1952 is $348,372,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved May 17, 1950, House Document 531, 81st Congress, 2d session. 2110 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work: Explorations, investigations, and engineering studies resulted in determining the location and type of structures and a schedule of construction of the project. A contract was awarded January 24, 1952, and work was started February 18, 1952 for construction of a cofferdam enclosing the entire powerhouse area, excavation of the major part of powerhouse area and excavation for future river diversion through the powerhouse. At the end of the fiscal year this contract was 13 percent complete. Two separate contracts for furnishing and delivering steel cofferdam piling were awarded January 7, 1952, and the material was being delivered as required. Surveys and design for the relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad and United States Highway No. 30 on the Oregon shore were well advanced and negotiations were underway with the State highway department and the Union Pacific Railroad Co. for agreements in connection with the relocation of their facilities.

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 '1/2 miles above The Dalles, Oreg. The normal pool level at the lower end of the canal has an elevation 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 $4,669,092.33, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care, made in 1952, is $172,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3 1905 (annual report, 1904, p. 3475). Operation and care of the canal were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. For latest published map see annual report for 1915, page 3380. Local cooperaton.-Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-None.

Expenditures were $140,094.71, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The canal and locks were completed in 1919. The originally constructed tandem locks at Big Eddy were converted into a single lift lock in 1941. The available dimensions of the locks and canal are inadequate for the existing traffic. The Dalles Dam, Columbia River, Wash. and Oreg., a multiple purpose project will, when completed, provide adequate navigation facilities and will inundate the existing facilities of "The Dalles-Celilo Canal." Funds have been allotted for initiation of construction for The Dalles Dam and the first major contract has been awarded and work is underway. The existing facilities of The Dalles-Celilo canal are being and will be maintained until navigation facilities in connection with The Dalles Dam are completed. Total costs under the existing project have been $6,542,379.01, of which $4,669,092.33 was for new work, $5,445.17 for maintenance, and $1,867,841.51 for operation and care.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT BONNEVILLE, OREG. Location.-This project is located on Columbia River, 42 miles east of Portland, Oreg., about 144 miles above the mouth of the river. For description of Columbia River see page 2138. 2114 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 regulating the gates. The powerhouse extending across Bradford Slough to the Oregon shore has an installation of 10 units, consisting of 2 units of 43,200 kilowatts each and 8 units of 54,000 kilowatts each, totaling 518,400 kilowatts. The ordinary and extreme fluctuations of the river at the lower lock gate are about 21 and 47 feet, respectively. The project includes fish ladders and locks to serve both the main channel and the Bradford Slough channel. The lock and powerhouse are founded on andesite, and the main dam rests upon solidified sedimentary rock of volcanic origin. The pool created by the 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: Ship lock Dimensions: Clear width of chamber------------ 76 feet.

Aug. 30, 1935 Aug. 20, 1937 (Pub.329,75th Cong.) 30, 1933, by the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works. Existing project authorized by Congress----........... - Senate committee print, 73d Cong., 2d sess. (Report of Chief of Engineers, dated Aug. 21, 1933.) This act authorized the completion, maintenance, and operation of the Bonneville project under the direction of the Secretary of War and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers, subject to certain provisions contained therein relating to the powers and duties of the Bonneville power administrator. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Navigation facilitiesMaintenance: Ordinary maintenance was continued throughout the year. The lock was closed to navigation from 8 a. m., September 17 to 3: 30 p. m., September 20, to replace the lower miter gate seals, remove accumulation of logs, gravel and debris in the miter gate recess, and to make repairs to the steel lining of the tainter valve pit. Power facilities.-New work: Installation of the emergency closures for -the wicket gate was started March 15, 1952. The late start was due to nonreceipt of the necessary materials. At the close of the fiscal year 6 of the 10 units were completed. The remaining units will be completed August 31, 1952. Work started on the installation of the annunciator alarms on September 29, 1951 and continued during the fiscal year. Nonshipment of materials has delayed the installation. Completion is scheduled for February 28, 1953. Installation of a source of clear water for cooling the power transformers and providing clean water for the turbine gland water started January 12, 1951. All work is completed except for permanent power supply connections which have been delayed, due to the difficulty in scheduling a simultaneous shutdown of 4 main units to make the required connections. During the fiscal year the 1-shot lubricating system for 4 of the 10 units was completed. This work was delayed due to nonreceipt of materials. The installation for the remaining 6 units will be completed on Feb. 28, 1953. The third CO2 fire extinguisher bank for the generators and reactors on the station auxiliary transformer bank were installed. The 2116 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 interrupting capacity of the 115 kilovolt oil circuit-breakers was increased from 1,500,000 kilovolt-ampere to 2,500,000 kilovolt-ampere; and 3 radio controlled hydraulic gaging stations were installed in the Bonneville Pool. Maintenance: Ordinary maintenance was continued. The station service unit was overhauled during July 1951. 1952 overhaul was scheduled for June 2 to August 1952. Units 1 and 3 were overhauled during June 1952 with overhaul of unit No. 2 started June 30, 1952. Maintenance painting of the transmission switching structure was completed. All routine and scheduled maintenance was completed. Dam and reservoir.-Maintenance:For the purpose of additional power production during the period of low river flow, 4-foot stop logs were placed on top of the spillway gates on October 6, 1951, at the request of the Bonneville Power Administration. In August and September 1951 the revetments at The Dalles and below the spillway dam on Bradford Island were repaired by contract. Fishway facilities.-New work: Materials for the installation of permanent unwatering facilities were purchased for the powerhouse collection system during the fiscal year. Installation will be accomplished during the fall and winter season when the fishways are out of service for maintenance. Maintenance: Routine and minor maintenance continued throughout the year. During November through February the fishways are closed by sections for maintenance and repairs. Routine maintenance and much deferred maintenance was accomplished. During the 195152 season the powerhouse and Washington Shore fishlocks and ladder were unwatered. All closure, segmental and emergency gates and submerged steel were painted. Skin plates were installed on the downstream sides of all upstream gates to prevent entry of fish to the open side of the gates. New traction chains were installed on two sections of the traveling water screens. Over 100 weir logs were installed in the lower end of the Washington ladder. Underpinning and baffles of all the diffusion chamber gratings, Nos. 7 to 20, inclusive, were renewed and 150 wooden gratings in the collection system were replaced. One Bonneville fishlift with machinery was rebuilt for installation at McNary Dam. Buildings, grounds, and shops.--New work: Installation of air compressor for the shops was completed. As a security measure, a lighted fence was erected by contract. This fence closes the entry to the navigation locks, powerhouse, Bradford Island, and the spillway dam. Installation of 1 fixed radio station with 2 mobile units for the security patrol was completed. Maintenance-Operation and care: The existing project with 10 units was operated throughout the year except for minor interruptions and scheduled shutdowns for maintenance. The total power generated was 4,480,174,000 kilowatt-hours, of which 4,462,935,000 kilowatt-hours were delivered to the Bonneville Power Administration. An approximate total of 1,386,493 tons of freight passed through the Bonneville Lock. The project was closed to visitors Sept;ember 12, 1950 and remained closed throughout the fiscal year. The total cost RIVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2117 of work done during the year amounted to $1,450,389.61, of which $195,022.37 was for new work (other than power, $41,807.13 and power facilities $153,215.24) and $1,255,367.24 for maintenance (operation and care) including $659,759.71 for power facilities.

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, a distance of 84.5 miles. For description of Columbia River see page 2138. Eaisting 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, Oreg.; a suitable turning basin adjacent to the site of port development in the vicinity of Camas and Washougal, Wash.; a boat basin at Hood River, Oreg., 500 by 1,300 feet and 10 feet deep at normal Bonneville pool level, with a connecting channel of the same depth to deep water, and a protecting 2122 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 breakwater on the easterly side; a barge channel to the waterfront at Bingen, Wash., 10 feet deep at normal Bonneville Pool level, 200 feet wide and approximately 1 mile long, and for an access channel 7 feet deep at normal Bonneville Pool level, 100 feet wide and approximately 1,000 feet long, to a natural mooring basin for small boats near the east end of the channel; and for the construction of The Dalles Harbor, Oreg., to provide a breakwater and shear boom protected basin 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 1952 is $6,433,000. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $260,000.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides in connection with the Camas-Washougal turning basin that local interests furnish assurances that they will construct a suitable freight terminal, open to all on equal terms, and bear additional cost of disposing of dredged material behind bulkheads provided by them; and provides that no dredging will be performed by the United States within 50 feet of the proposed dock. The Act of July 24, 1946, provides that for improvements at Hood River, Oreg., and at Bingen, Wash., local interests furnish free of cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way, agree to maintain 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 bulkheads, and (c) agree RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2123 to construct, maintain, and operate within the basin suitable moorages and a public landing with adequate supply failities, 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. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal facilities at present available or suitable for ocean vessels on the stretch of the river under the project are at 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 1-story timber and corrugated-iron warehouses, 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 August and September 1951. Shoals at Ryan Point, Leisure Point, and Fishers Landing were removed providing a controlling depth of 15 feet in the channel. A total of 296,700 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $39,188. Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $8,825. Total costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $48,013.40 all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The exisiting project is approximately 52 percent complete. Dredging of the main channel between 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 of 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. 248558-58--vol. 2----64 2124 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 the Middle Fork is about 294 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6155 and the U. S. Geological Survey map, State of Oregon.) The Yamhill River rises in the Coast Range, flows easterly, and empties into the Willamette River about 42 miles above Portland. Its length from the source of the South Fork is about 52 miles. Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1871, and July 13, 1892. For further details see page 1997 of annual report for 1915, and page 1754 of annual report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for improvement of Willamette River between Portland (14 miles above the mouth) and Oregon City (26 miles above the mouth) by a channel 8 feet deep at low water, 200 feet wide below Cedar Island and 150 feet wide thence to Oregon City; for such channel improvement and contraction works as may be necessary to secure, with stream flow regulation, controlling depths of 6 feet at low water from Oregon City to the mouth of Santiam River (108.5 miles above the mouth), and 5 feet from that point to Albany (120 miles above the mouth); for a channel 2.5 to 3.5 feet RIVERS AND HARBORS---PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2125 deep at low water and of no prescribed width from Albany to Corvallis (132 miles above the mouth); and for necessary snagging between Corvallis and Harrisburg (163 miles above the mouth). The project also provides for a channel in the Yamhill River 4 feet deep at low water and 60 feet wide from its mouth to McMinnville (18 miles) to be secured by means of a lock and dam near Lafayette and the removal of obstructions. The section of Willamette River in the vicinity of Willamette Falls at Oregon City is covered by a project described on page 2128 of this report. The following table shows the principal features of the lock and dam in Yamhill River: Location --------------------------- Usable lock dimensions----------Lift of lock----------------------Depth on sills at low water-..------. Character of foundation-......... -Kind of dam---- ---------------Type of construction- ------------Date of completion--------------Cost -------------------------------- 11/2 miles below Lafayette, Oreg., 8 miles above the mouth. 1 lock, 175 by 38 feet. 16 feet. 4 feet on upper sill; 2 feet on lower sill. Timber piling in clay. Fixed. Timber crib. Sept. 21, 1900. $72,164.83. For the Willamette River below the falls at Oregon City ordinary fluctuation of stage of water is 15 feet and the extreme fluctuation due to flood conditions 35 to 50 feet. Above Oregon City the ordinary fluctuation is 12 to 20 feet and the extreme is 20 to 27 feet. For the Yamhill River the ordinary fluctuation is 35 feet and the extreme 48 feet. Tidal changes vary from about 21/2 feet at the mouth of the Willamette to zero 26 miles above the mouth. The approved estimate (1952) of cost for new work is $2,345,000. The latest (1952) 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. For information concerning the comprehensive flood-control plan for Willamette River Basin see page 2179.

ARMY, 1952 Terminal facilities.-Between Portland and Willamette Falls the terminals are privately owned mill wharves and oil receiving stations. Above the falls there are small wharves privately owned or natural landings. These facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Dredgingby hired plant and dredging and snag removal by Government plant and hired labor maintained sufficient depths for the requirements of present navigation. 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 pages covering those reservoirs. The Yamhill Lock was in continuous operation throughout the year except for the period from December 12 to 14 when the lock was closed for repairs to the lower gate. ,During the fiscal year a total of 7,817 persons in 2,231 cars visited the project. The various items of maintenance and their costs during the fiscal year were as follows: Maintenance : Dredging by hired plant and Government plant, a total of 841,173 cubic yards removed----------------------------------$303, 841 14, 516 Leveling and disposal of dredge material---------------------Snagging in Willamette and Yamhill Rivers__--- -------2, 933 7, 637 Channel stabilization between Newberg and Corvallis-----------Hydrographic surveys by Government plant___ ___-----26, 792 Total maintenance ----. --------------------Operation and care of Yamhill lock: Operation ------------------------------------Maintenance and repair of structures and grounds__-- -Total operation and care --------------------------- 355, 719 8, 729 29 8, 758 Total costs for the fiscal year were $364,477.71 of which $355,719.15 was for maintenance and $8,750.56 for operation and care. Expenditures were $379,186.12. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is approximately 65 percent complete. The 8-foot channel between Portland and Oregon City and the 21/2- to 31-foot channel between Oregon City and Albany were completed in 1939. The 21/2- to 3l/2-foot channel between Albany and Corvallis was completed in 1945. The remaining work required to complete the proJect consists of the construction of such contraction works and channel improvements as may be necessary, with stream-flow regulation, to secure controlling depths of 6 feet at low water from Oregon City to the mouth of Santiam River, and 5 feet from that point to Albany. Controlling depths 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 McMinnville. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2127 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 years 1951 and 1952. Partial repairs to the dam, which is in poor condition, have been made. The lock is used only for the passage of logs downstream, and the grounds to a considerable extent for recreational purposes. Total costs under the existing project, from Federal funds, have been $6,776,338.90 of which $615,169.74 was for new work, $6,030,876.77 for maintenance and $130,292.39 for operation and care. Expenditures have been $6,770,208.10. In addition, the sum of $106,433.23 was expended between September 24, 1900 and June 30, 1935 on operation 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.

Location.-The locks and the dam covered by this project are located at Willamette Falls, a rocky reef in the Willamette River at Oregon City, Oreg., about 26 miles above the mouth of the river. Existing project.-This provides for the construction of a new single-lift main lock and a guard lock each with clear dimensions of 56 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 waterpower intake by construction of a concrete division wall. The total length of the existing canal and locks is about 3,500 feet. The following table shows the principal features of the existing canal and locks at Willamette Falls: Series of 4 locks, each 175 by 37 feet.1 Lock 1 (lower), 22.5 2 feet, lock 2, 8.7 feet; lock 3, 10.9 feet; lock 4 (upper), 8.1 feet.

Usable lock dimensions------------Lift of each lock------------------ 1 A guard lock 210 by 40 feet, which is used only at higher stages of water, is located at the upper end of the canal basin. A concrete division wall, 1,227 feet long, extending from lock 4 to the guard lock, separates the upper basin of the canal from the head race, which formerly led directly from the basin and supplied water for the power plants operated by the Crown Willamette Paper Co. and the Portland Ry., Light & Power Co. a The dam is owned by private parties. The ordinary fluctuation of the stage of water above the locks is 12 feet, and the extreme, due to flood conditions, 20 feet. Below the locks the ordinary fluctuation is 15 feet and the extreme 50 feet. The estimated cost, revised in 1952, is $9,417,000. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care, revised in 1952, is $228,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS Acts June 25,1910 Aug. 8,1917 AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2129 Work authorized Documents For the purchase and rehabilitation of the system and the construction of the concrete division wall.

Local cooperation.--Fully complied with. Terminal facilities.-The Crown Willamette Paper Co. has constructed a timber wharf about 850 feet in length, extending to and supported by the concrete division wall built in the lock canal by the United States. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The existing canal and locks were in continuous operation throughout the fiscal year, except the period from 8 a. m. October 18 to 7: 30 p. m. October 19, 1951, when the guard lock was closed to upper river traffic for the installation of a new gate. The lower lock remained in operation during the entire year.

Total - ------------------------------------------- 161, 364. 01 Total costs for the fiscal year were $161,364.01 for operation and care. Expenditures were $162,346.63. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing canal and locks were originally constructed by private interests in 1873 and purchased April 26, 1915, by the United States for $375,000. The dam is owned by private interests. The final report on the purchase and rehabilitation of the existing locks and canal was given in the annual report for 1923, when the project was reported 98 percent complete. No further work on that existing project was considered necessary. The controlling depth is 6 feet at low water on the miter sill of the upper lock. The existing locks and grounds are in fair condition and are in continuous operation except when flooded out by high water or undergoing repair. The facilities are obsolete and inadequate for existing traffic. The original manually operated lock gates have been converted to hydraulic opening and closing but the operation of the gate wickets is still manual. During the fiscal year 1951 the height of the easterly wall of the guard lock was raised 3 feet permitting use of the lock to elevation 14.5. No construction work has been done on the lock and guard lock, which was authorized to replace the existing facilities, by the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, and the River and Harbor Act of March 2130 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 2, 1945. Plans and specifications for the work have been essentially completed, but will require review and soine revision. Total costs have been $2,304,237.74 of which $520,005.08 was for new work ($377,122.20 for purchase and rehabilitation of existing lock and canal and $3,882.88 for new lock from river and harbor funds and $139,000 for new lock from flood-control funds) and $1,784,232.66 for maintenance (operation and care) from river and harbor funds. Expenditures have been $2,305,683.88. In addition $300,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work on existing canal and lock and $452,109.76 was expended between April 16, 1915, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of works of the improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriations for such purposes. Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1952, including accounts receivable amounting to $4,051.41 plus an allotment of $180,000 for fiscal year 1953 for maintenance, a total of $184,051.41, will be applied as follows: Accounts -payable------- ..-----------.. --- --- ---------------- $410. 29 Maintenance (operation and care): Operation of canal and locks--__________Ordinary maintenance and repairs________ _____-__--6-,_ Total for maintenance__ - 120 146, 041. 00 __-_____ -----___- Improvement and reconstruction: Preliminary engineering and design including preparation of plans and specifications--------------------------------Fabrication of gate No. 7 by contract, August to October 1952_,_ Installation of gate No. 7, reconstruction of shear crib and replacement of upper guide wall with stiff boom by hired labor, October and November 1952 -__-_____, - 1, 460. 00 15, 000. 00 21, 140.12 Total for improvements and reconstruction -___-.37, Total ---------------------------- 00. 00 041. 00 600. 12 -------------- 184, 051. 41 The additional sum of $175,000 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1954 for maintenance (operation and care) of locks and canal including operation, ordinary maintenance and repair, and reconstruction of one lock gate.

COLUMBIA AND iLOWER WILLAMETTE RIVERS BELOW VANCOUVER, WASH., AND PORTLAND, OREG. Location.-This project embraces 1031/2 miles of Columbia River below Vancouver, Wash., and 14 miles of Willamette River below Portland, Oreg. For description of Columbia River see page 2138, and Willamette River, page 2179. 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 Portland. The existing project also provides for maintenance at not to exceed a depth of 35 feet at low water, over such areas in the Portland 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 Willamette River to the interstate highway bridge at Vancouver, Wash., about 5 miles, with 2 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 include a sheet-pile, sand-filled breakwater about 2,400 feet long with a 20-foot roadway along its full length, and steel-pile shore wings totaling about 1,460 feet in length; and for the construction of stone and pile dikes and revetments. The plane of reference in the estuary from the mouth to I-arrington Point is mean lower low water; thence to Portland and Vancouver, low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth of the Columbia is about 8 feet, and at Portland and Vancouver about 21/2 feet at 2132 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMVY, 1952 low stages of the rivers. Extreme tidal ranges aye about 13 feet 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. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $1,845,000.

Local cooperation.-Requirements of cooperation prior to 1945 have been fully complied with. The act of July 24, 1946, authorizing the construction of a small boat mooring basin at Astoria, Oreg., provides that local interests furnish assurances to the United States that they will furnish free of cost all necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way for the new work and subsequent maintenance when and as required; provide all necessary mooring facilities within the basin, RIVERS AND HARBORS--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2133 sewers, water and electric supply lines, and a public landing with suitable supply facilities open to all on equal terms. Assurances for the small boat basin at Astoria were approved on November 4, 1947. Local interests have provided some mooring facilities and public landings. Terminal2facilities.-At Portland, Oreg., there are under public ownership three terminals which provide facilities for handling general cargo, bulk freight, grain, and oils. Under private ownership, but open to the public on equal terms, are 7 general cargo, 5 grain and flour, 5 lumber, 1 cement, 1 copra products, 1 salt, and 9 fuel oil and gasoline wharves besides outfitting and repair, sand and gravel and construction equipment docks. There are 3 drydocks, 1 of 2,000-ton, 1 of 12,000-ton and 1 leased from Department of the Navy for public use of 14,000-ton capacity and several of 85-ton capacity or less. There are 3 privately owned marine railways for handling small vessels and barges as well as several small skid type haulouts on which launches and other small craft can be accommodated. There is 1 heavy lift located in the port of Portland of 100-ton capacity on municipal terminal No. 1 as well as floating cranes up to 85-ton capacity and locomotive and mobile cranes available. At Astoria, Oreg., there is a large municipal terminal with grain elevator and flour mill, and facilities for receiving oil products by tanker. There are also private wharves used for receipt of fish, geueral merchandise, and the bunkering of fishing vessels. At Vancouver, Wash., below interstate bridge, there are two municipal terminal wharves. There are also several privately owned wharves for shipment of lumber, a fuel and gasoline terminal, and a privately owned grain elevator and wharf. At Kalama, Wash., there is a municipal wharf for shipment of lumber, and a heavy lift of 100-ton capacity. The port of Longview has a public terminal on the Columbia River at Longview. Wash., and the Long-Bell Lumber Co. and Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. have wharves in the same vicinity for the shipment of lumber. A privately operated grain elevator for the shipment of grain and flour is located at the port terminal; a fuel-oil and gasoline terminal is also located at the port dock for the receipt of petroleum products. There is a heavy lift of 150-ton capacity. At other small towns on the Columbia River between Portland and Columbia River entrance there are sufficient private facilities to accommodate the river vessels and fishing fleets, and at seven points there are large sawmill docks used entirely for the shipment of lumber in ocean-going carriers. These facilities, with the planned extensions, are considered adequate for the present needs of commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 11, Corps of Engineers.) Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Maintenance: Dredging with Government plant and hired labor was done on all bars and shoals in the main and side channels where condition surveys indicated shoaling. A total of 7,853,587 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $1,071,934. Hydrographic condition surveys were made Construction of four 3-pile dolphins was comat a cost of $68,622. pleted by contract at a cost of $1,878. Repairs to existing dikes in- 2134 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 cluding preliminary engineering were continued at a cost for the fiscal year of $29,018. Total costs for the fiscal year were $1,171,452.58 all for maintenance. Expenditures were $1,173,023.38. Conditionat end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed on September 29, 1950. The channel project was completed in 1933, except that a revision at Harrington Point was made in 1935. The dikes were completed in 1935 and the extension of the Vancouver turning basin in 1939. Of the 145 dikes constructed on this project 13 were repaired in 1946 and 1947, 22 during 1948, 30 during 1949 and 1950 and 14 during the fiscal year 1952. The auxiliary channel in the vicinity of Longview was completed May 12, 1949, and the improvement of the old mouth of Cowlitz River on March 10, 1950. The small boat mooring basin at Astoria was completed September 29, 1950. The controlling depth at low water in Columbia River from its mouth to the mouth of Willamette River is 33 feet. Above the mouth of Willamette River the Vancouver Channel has a controlling depth of 30 feet and in Willamette River from its mouth to Broadway Bridge the controlling depth is 33 feet. Project depths are maintained throughout the year except during short shoaling periods following freshets which generally occur in May, June, and July. In Columbia and Willamette Rivers between the mouth and Broadway Bridge at Portland a draft of 32 feet at low tide and 35 feet at high tide is practicable throughout the year. In Columbia River between the mouth of Wilamette River and Vancouver, Wash., drafts of 26 and 28 feet at low and high tide, respectively, are practicable throughout the year.

WESTPORT SLOUGH, OREG. Location.-Westport slough is a side channel of the Columbia River located about 70 miles below Portland, Oreg. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6152.) Eaisting project.-This provides for a channel 32 feet deep at low water, 300 feet wide in the entrance and to about the midpoint of its length, and generally 250 feet wide in the upper 1,800 feet. Low water is the plane of reference. The average tidal range during lowwater conditions in Columbia River is about 5 feet. The estimated cost for new work revised in 1952 is $162,000. The latest (1952) approved estimate of the annual cost of maintenance is $18,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. 79, 75th Cong., 1st sess.) and modified by the River and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950 (H. Doc, 134, 81st Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950, provides that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will: (1) provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, right-of-way, and spoil disposal areas, including necessary bulkheads, for the construction and subsequent maintenance of the project, when and as required: (2) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction 2136 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 works and subsequent maintenance; and (3) provide and maintain, at their own expense, a channel 32 feet deep and 200 feet wide from the upstream terminus of the existing project to the upper end of the mill dock, an additional distance of approximately 1,300 feet. Terminal facilities.-The only terminal is the privately owned wharf of the Shepard & Morse Lumber Co. There is no need at present for additional terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredging of the channel to a depth of 28 feet was accomplished by the Government pipeline dredge Wahkiakum. A total of 30,894 cubic yards of material was removed and conditions surveys completed. Total costs during the fiscal year were $2,852.13. Expenditures were $2,346.56. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The channel 28 feet deep and 200 feet wide, as originally authorized was completed in 1930. No work has been done on the 32-foot channel authorized by the River and Harbor Act of 1950 as a modification of the existing project. The channel is in good condition but commerce and vessels must wait for tides to leave the channel when loaded. A survey, made after dredging showed a controlling depth of 28 feet. Total costs and expenditures have been $69,397 of which $16,276.19 was for new work and $53,120.81 for maintenance. Proposed operations.-No work is scheduled for fiscal years 1953 and 1954.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT BAKER BAY, WASH. Location.-Baker Bay is a shallow body of water about 15 square miles in extent, lying on the north side of Columbia River near its mouth. The bay is separated from the river by Sand Island, a lowlying sand bar only a few feet above high-tide level. (See'U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Emisting project.-This provides for a main channel, 10 feet deep and 200 feet wide extending through the easterly passage at Sand Island to the port of Ilwaco, a distance of about 5 miles; for a mooring basin 10 and 12 feet deep, about 20 acres in extent, located east of the port of Ilwaco dock, with protecting breakwaters; and for a west channel 10 feet deep connecting the basin with deep water in Columbia River, with a width of 150 feet, increased to 200 feet for a distance of 2,000 feet at the southerly end. RIVERS AND HARBORS PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2137 Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme about 13 feet. The estimate of cost for new work revised in 1952 is $1,008,000. The approved estimate of annual maintenance revised in 1950 is $88,500.

Terminal facilities.-Terminals have been constructed at Ilwaco along Holman waterway, 200 feet wide by 3,000 feet in length, and on a dredged basin 400 by 1,000 feet. The facilities consist of wharves, floats, ramps, and berths for oil barges and oil boats. The facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Construction of an 1,800-foot pile, timber and stone dike was started by contract September 11, 1950, and completed October 25, 1951, at a cost of $74,371.90 for the fiscal year. Maintenance: Hydrographic surveys were made at a cost of $485 and preliminary engineering for contract dredging of the west channel was completed at a cost of $796. Total costs for the fiscal year were $75,653.26 of which $74,371.90 was for new work and $1,281.36 for maintenance. Expenditures were $76,826.77. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 40 percent complete. The channel extending through the easterly passage at Sand Island was completed in 1934. Dredging of the west channel extending from deep water in Columbia River to the east channel near Ilwaco was completed to a depth of 8 feet, August 26, 1948. Construction of three spur dikes in connection with the west channel was completed September 30, 1948. Construction of an 1,800-foot pile, timber and stone dike was completed October 25, 1951, but additional piling are needed to tighten the dike. No work has been done on the 2138 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 mooring basin authorized as a project modification by the River and Harbor Act approved May 17, 1950.

COLUMBIA RIVER AT THE MOUTH, OREGON AND WASHINGTON Location.-This river rises in British Columbia, through which it flows for 425 miles. It enters the United States in northeastern Washington, flows southerly to the mouth of Snake River, thence westerly between Oregon and Washington, and empties into the Pacific Ocean 645 miles north of San Francisco Bay and 160 miles south of the Straits of Juan de Fuca. The total length of the river is 1,210 miles. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5902, 6151, 6152, 6153, 6154, 6155, and 6156; also Geological Survey map of Washington.) Previous project.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 5, 1884. For further details see page 1999 of annual report for 1915 and page 1740 of annual report for 1938. RIVERS AND HARBORS-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2139 Existing project.-This provides for a channel across the bar 40 feet deep at mean lower low water and of suitable width (not less than one-half mile), to be secured by dredging and by converging rubble-mound jetties, the south jetty being about 7 miles and the north jetty about 21/2 miles long, terminating 2 miles north of the end of the south jetty. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range on the bar between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme tidal range is about 13 feet. The actual cost for new work was $11357,506.35 exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The latest (1952) 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 construction of the north jetty was approved July 29, 1910, and a modification 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 requiring local cooperation. However, during 1914 the port of Portland contributed $475,000 and the port of Astoria $25,000 to this improvement. These amounts have been expended, the greater part having been applied to the purchase of stone for the north jetty. Terminal facilities.-For terminal and transfer facilities see report on Columbia and Lower Willamette Rivers. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance:Land management costs were $1,515. Hydrographic condition surveys were made at a cost of $10,973. Dredging of entrance channel at Clatsop Spit by the hopper dredge Biddle provided project depth. A total of 1,267,450 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $120,530. Repairs to jetty "A" by contract were made at a cost of $38,710 and repairs to pile dike No. 110.6 were completed at a cost of $52,733. A credit of $2,009 was received in connection with liquidated damages from contractor for repair of Sand Island revetment. Repairs to pile dikes were made at a cost of $522. Total costs for the fiscal year were $222,974.30. Expenditures were $256,960.70. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1918. The jetties are in fair condition except that a 400-foot section of jetty A near the outer end has been beaten down by winter storms and maintenance and repairs will be continued. Storms have broken through the narrow portion of Sand Island about 2 miles from the east end which continue to cause shoaling at Clatsop Spit and Baker Bay channels. A survey made in June 1952 showed a controlling depth in the entrance channel of 45 feet at mean lower low water except at Clatsop Spit where the controlling depth for the left quarter of the channel was 42 feet. 248558 53--vol. 2--65 2140 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

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 approximately 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 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 30 feet was accomplished by contract dredge. Condition surveys and a real estate audit were made. Total costs for the fiscal year were $232,267.15 of which $20,465.36 was for new work and $211,801.79 for maintenance. Expenditures were $210,954.45. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 91 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 completed but not for full width required. No work has been done on construction of the Charleston Channel and small-boat basin. The controlling depth on the bar is 40 feet and from the entrance to Coos Bay 26 feet. Total costs from Federal funds under the existing project have been $13,991,609.11 of which $7,595,106.51 was for new work and $6,396,502.60 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $13,993,238.14. In addition $2,713.14 was expended for new work and $8,386.86 for maintenance from contributed funds.

FLOOD CONTROL-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2157 22. AMAZON CREEK, OREG. Location.-On Amazon Creek, a tributary of Willamette River in the vicinity of and below the city of Eugene, Oreg. Existing projects.-This provides for channel improvement from a point above the south limits of the city of Eugene through the city to the diversion point; a diversion canal 3.5 miles in length from Amazon Creek at the diversion point to Fern Ridge Reservoir; and an improved channel from the diversion point to Clear Lake and from Clear Lake to Long Tom River, with three lateral drainage canals, one 13,000 feet, one 15,000 feet, and one 5,000 feet in length. The project will control the entire Amazon Creek drainage area of 62 square miles and care for a flood of 1,000 second-feet through the city of Eugene and 1,840 second-feet at the point of diversion. The estimated cost, exclusive of local cooperation, revised in 1952 is $1,038,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1946, Senate Document 138, 79th Congress, 2d session, and modified by the Flood Control Act of 1950, House Document 531, 81st Congress, 2d session. Local cooperation.-TheFlood Control Act approved July 24, 1946, provided that local interests furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will (a) provide, without cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and right-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 cost of fences and bridge construction and revision; (d) maintain and operate all the works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. Local interests have furnished assurances of local cooperation for that portion of the project for which funds are available for construction. These assurances were approved August 2, 1951. Operations and results during ftscal year.-New work: A contract for construction of a diversion channel from Amazon Creek to Fern Ridge Reservoir was awarded August 2, and work started August 14, 1951 and completed except for cleanup work. A contract for 3,700 linear feet of channel improvements to Amazon Creek at various locations within and in the vicinity of the west city limits of Eugene was awarded August 30 and work started in September 1951 and completed except for seeding. Preliminary engineering for the current work was completed. Total costs for the fiscal year were $297,578.42. Expenditures were $274,611.12, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Constructionof the project was started on August 14, 1951. The diversion channel from Amazon Creek to Fern Ridge Reservoir has been completed except for cleanup work which will be accomplished in September 1952. The portion of the channel improvement of Amazon Creek in the vicinity of the west city limits of the city of Eugene has been completed except for minor cleanup work.

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 Mountains 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 No. 544, 75th Congress, 3d 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 authorized additional flood-control works and 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 FLOOD CONTROL-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2159 contained an authorization of $75,000,000 for the Columbia River Basin, including the Willamette River Basin. The dams and reservoirs and other improvements included in the plan as modified by the Flood Control Act of 1950 are as follows: Authorizing act Projects and streams Amazon Creek, Oreg.'-___........- Estimated cost July 24, 1946, S.

Local cooperation.-Section 2 of Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies to reservoir and dam projects. Local cooperation for other projects is shown in individual reports for those projects. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The progress of preliminary work and construction on projects selected for construction is given in individual reports for those projects. No costs were incurred or expenditures made other than those shown under the individual reports. 2160 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Condition at end of fiscal year.--Cottage Grove Reservoir was completed March 28, 1952. Fern Ridge Reservoir was completed August 4, 1951. Dorena Reservoir is complete except for the improvement of Row River Channel below the dam; this work will be accomplished under 3 separate contracts, 2 of which have been awarded, and the remaining contract will be awarded in July 1952. Completion is scheduled for September 1952, except for public use facilities. Detroit Reservoir, including Big Cliff Reregulating Dam, is under construction and scheduled for completion in April and October 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, but is scheduled for completion in December 1954. Advance planning for construction of Hills Creek Dam project was initiated during fiscal year 1952. Closure of Detroit Dam was made on June 24, 1952, and water released through the open lower control gate. During a flash flood on June 28 the reservoir served in a minor way for flood control. 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 continuous operation. At the present time water releases are made from these reservoirs as an aid to navigation, when navigation interests indicate the need for increasing low water flows. Maximum available storage in these 3 existing reservoirs is 190,000 acre-feet which is not adequate to maintain proposed navigation flows continously during critical low water flow conditions on lower Willamette River. Therefore, the procedure of releasing water to meet specific navigation requirements utilizes the storage to the greatest advantage. This practice 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 available for multiple-purpose use. Prior to 1 September, navigation releases will be made only on request by navigation interests. Recreation at existing reservoirs is benefited by maintaining a pool as high as possible until 1 September, which will be the policy followed. After September 1 there is normally adequate water available to maintain 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.

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 construction 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. The power installation will consist of one 20,000-kilowatt unit. The Hills Creek Dam 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 Dam project was authorized by Public Law 516, 81st Congress, 2d session, approved May 17, 1950. The estimated cost revised in 1952, including power facilities, is $25,339,000 for construction and $6,726,000 for lands and damages including relocations, a total of $32,065,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938 applies. Operationsand results during fiscal year.--Engineering and design for construction of the project were initiated and field investigations were partially completed.

LOOKOUT POINT RESERVOIR (MERIDAN SITE), WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.-On the Middle Fork Willamette River at Meridan 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 construction 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 gatecontrolled overflow type, forming the right abutment. Outlet works, consisting of slide gate controlled conduits, will pass through the spillway section. The powerhouse will have 3 main generating units totalling 114,000 kilowatts capacity and 1 station service unit of 1,000 2164 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 kilowatt 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 forming 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, 75th Congress, 3d 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, 81st Congress, 2d session, modified the project to provide for power generating facilities. The estimated cost, revised in 1951 including the Dexter Reregulating Dam is $35,251,000 for lands and damages including relocations, and $61,360,000 for construction, a total of $96,611,000. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of operation and maintenance is $218,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Relocations.: Relocation of the Southern Pacific Railroad around the reservoir was completed except for the 250 foot span of the upper Willamette River Bridge crossing, about 0.44 mile of tracklaying and surfacing and minor signal work. Relocation of State Highway No. 58 was completed except for a minor amount of final surfacing and construction of guard fence.

FALL CREEK DAM, WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.-On Fall Creek, a tributary of Middle Fork Willamette River, 7.1 miles above the confluence of the streams and approximately 17 miles southeast of the city of Eugene, Oreg. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of an earth-fill dam and concrete chute spillway located on a rock promontory in the left abutment. The total length and height of the dam will be 5,630 and 171 feet respectively. The reservoir will have a usable flood-control storage space of 115,000 acre-feet and will extend upstream, 6.4 miles on Fall Creek and 3 miles on Winberry Creek. The dam and reservoir will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system for flood control and other purposes. The estimated cost, revised in 1952, is $3,572,000 for lands and damages including relocations and $15,207,000 for construction, a total of $18,779,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved May 17, 1950, House Document 531, 81st Congress, 2d session. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No funds have been allotted and no work has been accomplished. Proposed operations.-No funds are available and no work is scheduled for the fiscal year 1953. The sum of $100,000 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1954 for advance planning. 2168 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 27. 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 construction 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, 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 flow for navigation. The existing project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Willamette River Basin, contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The Flood Control Act of December 22, 1914, and July 24, 1946, modified the project to provide for recreational facilities. The estimated cost, revised 1952, for new work, is $1,825,000 for construction, and $551,500 for lands and damages, a total of $2,376,500. The (1952) estimate of the annual cost of operation and maintenance is $35,700. Local coop.eration.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work: Construction of operator's permanent quarters, a warehouse, and a paint and oil storage building was completed. Maintenance: The dam, reservoir, and public use facilities were in continuous operation throughout the fiscal year. A total of 38,529 persons visited the reservoir for recreational purposes during the fiscal year. Normal reservoir regulation was continued during the fiscal year. There were a few high-water periods during the year, but none of any consequence, and very little storage space was required to regulate them. A change in the reservoir regulation manual was made when the prescribed maximum conservation pool was lowered from elevation 791 feet (spillway crest) to elevation 790 feet. This small amount of storage reservation is made available for regulation of summer floods. As a result of an abnormally dry summer in 1951, the low flows in the Willamette River were augmented by upstream storage. During the months of August and September about 18,000 acre-feet, or 60 percent of usable storage capacity at Cottage Grove, was used to increase the low flows in the Willamette River. Total cost for the fiscal year were $51,501.60 of which $26,248.92 was for new work and $25,252.68 for maintenance. Expenditures were $50,827.98. FLOOD CONTROL--PORTLAND, OREG., 2169 DISTRICT Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the project was initiated in August 1940 and completed in April 1952. The dam and reservoir were completed in September 1942 and have been in continuous operation since that date. Total costs have been $2,593,674.59 of which $2,372,298.94 was for new work and $221,375.65 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $2,590,827.70.

DORENA RESERVOIR, WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.--DorenaReservoir is located 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. 2170 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 Exiting project.-The plan of improvement provides for construction of an earthfill dam, 3,297 feet long at the crest, rising 145 feet above the stream bed, with a reservoir providing storage capacity 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 and 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 Acts of December 22, 1944, and July 24, 1946, modified the project to provide for recreational facilities. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1952, is $13,581,600 ($11,003,200 for construction and $2,578,400 for lands and damages including relocations). The 1952 estimate of the annual cost of operation and maintenance 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: The Creswell bridge section of the channel improvement work downstream from the dam was completed January 3, 1952. Construction of two permanent residences for the dam operators was started in November 1951 and completed May 6, 1952. Maintenance: The dam and reservoir were in continuous operation during the fiscal year. A total of 21,278 persons visited the reservoir for recreational purposes during the fiscal year. The reservoir functioned normally during the fiscal year. There were four floods during the year, of which that of March 24 was the largest. During this flood the highest inflow into the reservoir was 14.220 second-feet, but was of short duration and required only about 22,000 acre-feet of storage space to regulate the flow downstream. Other high-water periods occurred on October 23, November 30, and December 22. Large local inflow below the dam caused minor flooding downstream on November 30. Deviation from normal reservoir regulation procedure occurred on two occasions. During the period September 11-October 4, four high velocity revetment tests were performed, on the channel below Dorena Dam, that required 600 acre-feet of water for each test. During the period May 20-June 13, the pool elevation was raised from 832 feet (maximum conservation pool) to 834 feet for the purpose of collecting floating logs and other debris above the dam. After the debris was cleared from the reservoir the pool was again lowered to elevation 832 feet. Total costs for the fiscal year were $403,480.11, of which $366,033.83 was for new work and $37,446.28 for maintenance. Expenditures were $404,784.89. usable FLOOD CONTROL--PORTLAND, 2171 OREG., DISTRICT Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project is 99 percent complete. Construction of the dam and appurtenant works was completed in November 1949 and the reservoir filled to minimum pool level on November 27, 1949. Construction of operator's permanent quarters and landscaping was completed May 6, 1952. The work scheduled in the following paragraph under "new work" will complete the project, except for public use facilities. Total costs have been $13,559,828.27 of which $13,468,254.85 was for new work and $91,573.42 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $13,493,110.85.

FERN RIDGE RESERVOIR, WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location.-On the Long Tom River, 23.6 miles from the mouth. The Long Tom River rises in Lane County, Oreg., on the eastern slope of the Coast Range, flows north for 50 miles, and enters the Willamette River 147 miles above its mouth. The drainage area tributary to this reservoir is 252 square miles. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for construction of an earthfill dam, 6,360 feet long at the crest, and two auxiliary dikes, 850 feet and 3,680 feet long, along the northeasterly boundary of the reservoir. The main dam has a maximum height of 44 feet above the stream bed. The spillway, located near the left abutment, consists of a gravity section concrete overflow structure controlled by six automatic radial gates. Outlet works are located in the spillway structure. The project includes rectification of the channel of Long Tom River downstream from the dam. The reservoir, having a usable storage capacity of 95,000 acre-feet, protects the Long Tom River Valley and will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system to protect the Willamette River Valley generally and to increase low water flows for navigation. The existing project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Willamette River Basin contained 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 actual cost of new work is $3,683,145 for construction and $812,635 for lands and damages, a total of $4,495,780. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. The 1952 estimate of the annual cost of operation and maintenance is $48,400. Operations and results during fiscal year.-New work: Construction.of the remaining bank protection work on Long'Pom River below Fern Ridge Dam was completed by contract August 4, 1951. Maintenance: The dam reservoir and public use facilities were in FLOOD CONTROL--PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 2173 operation through the fiscal year. A total of 143,507 persons visited the reservoir area for recreational purposes during the fiscal year. Costs for operation and maintenance were $43,823. Other than for four minor exceptions, the functioning of the reservoir was normal during the fiscal year. On February 15 and 18 and on March 12 and 26, discharge from the reservoir was completely cut off during the hours of 10 a. m. and 1 p. m. During these 3-hour cutoff periods the Oregon State Game Commission tagged a number of carp fish below the dam for the purpose of a special study to determine if carp are gaining entrance to the reservoir through the gates in the dam. No major floods occurred during the year, but there were four periods when the inflow into the reservoir exceeded 4,000 second-feet, the established bankfull capacity below the dam. On December 5 maximum reservoir inflow was 6,370 second-feet, on December 30, 4,680 second-feet, on January 11, 4,150 second-feet, and on February 4, 5,060 second-feet. All high waters were regulated within bankfull capacity between the dam and mouth of Long Tom River. Maximum storage used in regulating the high flows during the year was 38,820 acre-feet, or 41 percent of the available flood control storage. This peak storage occurred on December 7. During the summer season of 1951 conservation storage was made available in the interest of increasing low-water flows in the Long Tom and Willamette Rivers. About 70,000 acre-feet, or 74 percent of usable storage capacity at Fern Ridge, was released during the months of August and September to supplement the natural low flows of the rivers. Total costs for the fiscal year were $138,957.72, of which $95,134.40 was for new work and $43,823.32 was for maintenance. Expenditures were $153,688.35. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the project was initiated in April 1940, and completed August 4, 1951. The dam and reservoir were completed in December 1941 and have been in continuous operation since that date. Improvement of Long Tom River channel below the dam was initiated in July 1943 and completed August 4, 1951. Total costs have been $4,836,549.70 of which $4,495,779.55 was for new work and $340,770.15 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $4,830,874.44.

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 Squalicum Creek waterway, including dredging an entrance channel 2200 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, TJ. S. ARMY, 1952 200 feet wide and 26 feet deep from deep water in the bay to the main pierhead line, maintenance of the southerly half and westerly end of the Squalicum Creek basin to a depth of 26 feet at mean lower low water, and maintenance of the breakwater constructed by the port of Bellingham in 1934, to a crest height of 14 feet, provided that no dredging be done within 75 feet of wharves, piers, or similar structures. The extreme tidal range is about 16 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.6 feet. The 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 June 25,1910 July 3,1930 Aug. 26, 1937 Work authorized Documents For the Whatcom Creek waterway _.................. H.

Local cooperation.-Fullycomplied 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 constructing breakwaters, bulkheads, floats, and utilities, and by dredging in the basin at a cost of $391,902. Further improvements, consisting 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 2 are privately owned and operated and serve vessels in the Puget Sound trade. The 4 wharves on Squalicum Creek waterway are publicly owned; 1 oil-handling wharf is publicly operated; the other 3 are privately operated. The latter 3 wharves and the other 15 are used for various industrial purposes. These terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing com: merce. Operations and results during fiscal year.- A condition survey was made in June 1952. Costs were $1,307.85; expenditures were $732.42. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1931. The dredging of Whatcom Creek waterway was completed in 1913. The dredging of the entrance channel in Squalicum Creek waterway was completed in 1931, and local interests have since dredged the southerly half and westerly end of Squalicum Creek basin, and in 1934 constructed a detached rubble breakwater 1,500 feet long south of the basin. This structure was raised and extended in 1945. (See "Local cooperation".) RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2201 In June 1952, the inner 1,300 feet of Whatcom Creek waterway had a controlling depth of 13.7 feet except at the head of the waterway, and a depth of 26 feet over a width of 70 feet in the next 800 feet; the outer 3,000 feet were 26 feet deep over a 140-foot width. In June 1952, the Squalicum Creek waterway entrance channel was 23.1 feet deep over a width of 200 feet, and the basin was 20.3 feet deep except near the edges and at the head of the waterway. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1952, have been $112,013.16 for new work and $92,467.01 for maintenance, a total of $204,480.17. The expenditures have been $203,904.74. Proposedoperations.-Thefunds unexpended June 30, 1952, $767.58, and an allotment of $30,000, a total of $30,767.58, will be applied to accounts payable, $575.43; a condition survey, $206; contract dredging $29,386.15; and miscellaneous inspections and reports, $600.

Local cooperation.-Underthe provisions of the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, adopting the project for the 12-foot channel, local interests were required to furnish free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material during initial construction and for future maintenance as and when needed. Compliance with these conditions has not yet been required, as suitable areas for disposal of dredged material have been found without invoking the requirements of local cooperation. Terminal facilities.-Thereare eight wharves on Swinomish slough, all of which are privately owned and operated for industrial purposes and not open for general public use. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A condition survey was made in September 1951 at a cost of $3,120, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $3,120. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1937. The dikes are in good condition. In September 1951, the controlling depth at mean lower low water was 5.6 feet. The costs and expenditures to June 30, 1952, have been $409,029.51 for new work and $787,911.90 for maintenance, a total of $1,196,941.41. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $75,000 will be expended on maintenance contract dredging during the fiscal year 1953.

(See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6448.) Previous projects.--The original project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894, provided for a basin in front of the Everett Peninsula, for a channel from the end of the basin around the peninsula to the head of Old River, and for a dike from the lower end of Smith Island to the south end of the basin. By authority of joint resolution of Congress approved April 23, 1902, the work in Old River was discontinued. The project was further modified by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905, to provide for survey of Everett Harbor with a view to the extension of the dike and of the dredged area. For further details, see page 704 of annual report for 1905, page 2005 of annual report for 1915, and page 1883 of annual report for 1938. Existing project.--This provides for a training dike in the upper harbor extending from Smith Island to a point opposite 23d 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 14th Street dock; and for a channel throughout that portion of the lower harbor known as East waterway 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and generally 900 feet wide. The length of channel improvement under this project is 2.5 mid. 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 (1952) approved estimate of annual cost of maintenance of the entire project is $35,000.

Doc. 569, 81st Cong., 2d sess.). 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 publicly owned and operated general cargo terminal that is open for public use. The remaining wharves are used by barges and lightdraft 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 May 1952. The costs were $2,177.25, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,543.47. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1940. Dike work as commenced in September 1911 and terminated in September 1912, and 6,000 feet of dike were raised to an elevation of 14 feet above mean lower low water in 1931. 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 May 1952 were 7 feet in the channel from the lower harbor to the settling basin; 6.6 feet in the settling basin, 4.8 feet for 3,100 feet and 0.2 foot for the remainder of the distance in the channel from the settling basin to the gap in the dike. Controlling depth in East waterway in October 1950 was 29 feet. In May 1952, some dike repairs were needed. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1952, have been $325,968.16 for niew work and $271,686.97 for maintenance, a total of $597,655.13. The expenditures have been $597,021.35.

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 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 Mountains for 209 miles to its confluence with Snake River. A few miles below the Snake, it turns sharply westward and flows for 324 miles, forming the WashingtonOregon boundary, to the Pacific Ocean. The works covered by this project are on the Columbia River just upstream from the mouth of Foster Creek, 1 /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 proec.-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 upstream 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 developrent 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 (1952) estimated Federal cost of construction of the project is $193,250,000 (16 uniits). Annual operation and maintenance will range from $940,000 for the first 4 units to $1,853,000 for 16 units. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946. (See H.

Recommended modiflcations of project.--Under date of March 8, 1950, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing 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 2210 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, 1I. S. ARMY, 1952 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. Doec. 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 4 terminals at La Push; of these, 3 privately owned are open to public use to accommodate small commercial fishing vessels, and 1 owned by the United States is used as a Coast Guard station. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Costs and expenditures in connection with a condition survey made during July 1951 were $1,091.01, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was substantially completed in 1931, omitting the groins, which do not appear necessary or desirable. In July 1951, the dike and jetty showed considerable deterioration. The controlling depth in the entrance channel was 4.2 feet over a width of 100 feet. The costs and expenditures to June 30, 1952, have been $68,000 for new work and $138,898.16 for maintenance, a total of $206,898.16. Proposed operations.-An allotment of $1,000 will be expended on a condition survey, $900; and on miscellaneous inspections and reports, $100; during fiscal year 1953. No work is scheduled for the fiscal year 1954.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with, except as modified by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, adopting the 30-foot channel, which provides that local interests shall contribute twothirds of the cost, but not to exceed $13,500. This condition has not been met, and local interests reported under date of April 28, 1937, that, due to heavy losses suffered by the lumber industry, they were unable to bear such a large percentage of the cost at that time. Terminal facilities.-There are two privately owned and 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.-Plans and specifications were completed and a contract awarded for dredging, at a cost of $298.80, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $319.61. 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 $2,635.45 for maintenance, a total of"$14,546.53 from Federal funds and $21,260.09 from contributed funds. The total expenditures have been $35,791.78. Proposed operations.--The funds unexpended June 30, 1952, $12,716.04, will be applied to accounts payable, $14.84, to maintenance dredging by contract during July and August 1952, and to miscellaneous inspections and reports.

Twenty-eight of the wharves are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels; of these 6 serving general cargo terminals and 1 serving a grain elevator are open for public use; 2 of the former and the latter are publicly owned. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Condition surveys of Puyallup and city waterways were made in March 1952. The costs were $1,892.91, all for maintenance. The expenditures were $1,964.39. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2219 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 $203,344.30 for maintenance, a total of $353,362.88, not including $5,000 expended for maintenance from contributed funds. . The depths available in March 1952 were as follows: 28.3 feet over a width of 500 feet, from Commencement Bay to South11th Street; 21.5 feet over a width of 400 feet, from South 11th Street to South 14th Street; and 14.1 feet over a width of 120 feet, from South 14th 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 11th Street; 30 feet over a width of 200 feet from East 11th 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 completed in 1934 at a cost of 51,609.12, all for new work; and maintenance costs, all for surveys, have been $4,783.52, a total of $56,392.64. On April 4, 1943, a slide destroyed the east training wall. The depth at its outer end in March 1952 was about 56 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 December 1944, showed a controlling depth of 30 feet over a width of about 500 feet in the lower 1,600 feet of the waterway, thence a channel 80 feet wide with a minimum depth of 14.5 feet extending southerly along the westerly margin of the waterway for about 1,800 feet; and a channel 200 feet wide with a minimum depth of 20.7 feet extending southerly along the easterly margin of the waterway. The 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, 1952, have been $414,129.30 for new work, including $51,609.12 Public Works funds, and $281,043.78 for maintenance, a total of $695,173.08, not including $5,000 contributed funds for maintenance. The expenditures have been $695,173.08. Proposed operations.-No work is scheduled for fiscal year 1953. The sum of $31,700 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1954, for maintenance dredging by contract in city and Hylebos waterways, $27,000; for condition surveys, $1,500; and for miscellaneous inspections and reports, $3,200. 248558-53-vol. 2-70 2220 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Location.--This harbor is near the southern end of Puget Sound at the head of Budd Inlet, about 45 miles southwest of Tacoma. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6462.) Previous projects.-The original project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892, provided for a channel on the east side of the harbor 250 feet wide and 12 feet deep from vicinity of Fourth Street Bridge to deep water in Budd Inlet, with a turning basin 500 feet wide at the inner end. The-River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910, modified and extended the project to provide for a channel on the west side of the harbor 200 feet wide and 12 feet deep from deep water to a point 1,900 feet south of the west side waterway, with a turning basin at its inner end 800 feet long and a maximum width of 400 feet. For further details see page 1369 of annual report for 1934 and page 1873 of annual report for 1938. Existing project.-This provides for a channel between deep water in Budd Inlet and the port terminal, 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and 500 feet wide, with suitable additional width at the bend, and a turning basin adjacent to the port terminal 30 feet deep, 3,350 feet long, and 500 to 960 feet wide. The extreme tidal range is 22.5 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 14.4 feet. The latest (1952) estimate of cost for new work, is $554,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The latest (1950) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $10,000. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: RIVERS Acts AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., Work authorized DISTRICT 2221 Documents Jan. 21,1927 July 3,1930 Channel 22 feet deep and 150 feet wide---- --------. _ H.

Local cooperation.-Local interests are required to furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitably bulkheaded areas for the retention of dredged materials, when and as required. The Port of Olympia 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 accommodate oceangoing vessels; the other privately owned and operated, is used by vessels in the Puget Sound trade. The remainder are suitable for barges and scows and are used for various industrial purposes. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 83 percent complete. The channel and basin were completed to present dimensions 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 entrance channel and enlarge the turning basin as authorized by the act of March 2, 1945. The costs and expenditures under the existing project to June 30, 1952 have been $262,825.33 for new work, including $105,467 Public Works funds, and $77,809.97 for maintenance, a total of $340,635.30. Proposed operations.-No work is scheduled for fiscal year 1953. The sum of $41,800 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1954 for condition survey, maintenance dredging, and miscellaneous inspections and reports. 2222 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

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 Channel; and improving Chehalis River from Grays Harbor to Montesano by dredging a channel 16 feet deep and 200 feet wide and by diking across 5 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 elevation 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 and 200 feet wide to Cosmopolis, a distance of 3 miles; for a channel 16 feet deep at mean lower low water and 150 feet wide from 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. RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2223 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 (1952) estimate of cost for new work, is $6,640,000. 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 $228,700 to be contributed 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 Aberdeen; enlarge and maintain Westhaven base.

Local cooperation.-The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, adopting the 16-foot channel, provides that local interests contribute one-half the first cost, estimated at $228,700, and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War and Chief of Engineers that they will assume the entire cost of maintenance of same and provide a suitable public terminal at Montesano. These assurances have been given and $35,834.27 contributed, which was expended in 1931 with an equal amount of Government funds in securing a 12-foot channel to Montesano, the remaining contribution necessary to complete the project being deferred until a later date, as approved by the Secretary of War, March 18, 1931. The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, continues the requirement that local interests shall pay one-half the first cost of enlarging the channel between Cosmopolis and Montesano, and further provides that the Grays Harbor Port Commission shall continue to remove all snags and deadheads from the channels, shall 2224 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 furnish free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material as and when needed, and shall assist in the work of maintenance by loaning to the United States, when not required on the work of the Commission, its pipeline dredge without charge other than reimbursement to the Port of Grays Harbor Commission for the operating costs of the dredge on a basis approved by the Chief of Engineers, and maintain the channel above the Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen. These conditions have been met as required to cover current needs. With Navy funds, the 26-foot channel was deepened to 30 feet, and widened to 350 feet in the narrow section, from the port terminal to deep water, at a cost of $162,000. 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 approved by the Chief of Engineers; hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of improvements; enlarge and maintain the Westhaven base by dredging; and construct, in accordance with plans approved by the Secretary of the Army, maintain, and operate, adequate mooring facilities within the basin, utilities, and a public landing with suitable service and supply facilities, open to all on equal terms. The necessary assurances 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 required for construction and maintenance of the project was furnished 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 terminal, 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 operations during the fiscal year included model studies conducted by the waterways experiment station at Vicksburg, and preliminary engineering studies and investigations for protection of Point Chehalis. Costs were $41,066.14. A contract awarded in June 1951 for rock groins along the north shore of Point Chehalis was completed in December 1951, with 26,222 tons of rock placed. Costs were $204,102.04. Maintenance: Surveys were made by the U. S. survey boat Mamala at a cost of $31,298.36. Maintenance dredging accomplished included removal of 11,317 cubic yards, bin measurement, from Westhaven Cove entrance channel, and 66,694 cubic yards, bin measurement, from RIVERS AND HARBORS-SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2225 Sand Island Shoal, a total of 78,011 cubic yards, by the United States hopper dredge Hyde at a cost of $30,676.34; and removal of 292,511 cubic yards from the North Channel by the leased pipe-line dredge Robert Gray at a cost of $49,743.16. The costs for the fiscal year from regular funds were $245,168.18 for new work, and $111,717.86 for maintenance. Expenditures were $358,169.24. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was 55 percent complete. The south jetty was completed in 1902 with a groin 11,952 feet from the high-water line. A 12,656-foot section of the jetty was reconstructed to an elevation of 20 feet above mean lower low water during the period 1936-40. 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 elevation of +20 feet and the remainder to an elevation of +30 feet. The remainder of the north jetty has not been restored. The 412-foot section seaward of the reconstructed jetty is at the elevation of mean lower low water, and the 7,300-foot section shoreward of the reconstructed jetty has sanded in. An examination of the reconstructed jetty, made in June 1949, showed that sea action had leveled the outer 325 feet; had breached the sand spit at the shore end, exposing old jetty rock to the east; and a 400-foot section about 2,000 feet from the outer end showed a settlement of approximately 4 feet. The Westhaven Cove breakwater was completed in 1950. Construction of three rock groins for protection of Point Chehalis was completed in 1951. 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 1,200 feet (October 1951) ; deep water in lower harbor to port terminal, 28 feet over a width of 220 feet (February 1952) ; port terminal to Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen, 26 feet over a width of 150 feet (January 1952) ; 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, 14 feet except for 1 shoal above the highway bridge which has a least depth of 11.6 feet (September 1951). The work remaining to be done to complete the project is to con- 2226 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 struct further protective works for Point Chehalis, extend the breakwater at Westhaven Cove, and increase the channel depth from Cosmopolis to Montesano to 16 feet.

WILLAPA RIVER AND HARBOR, WASH. Location.-WillapaHarbor consists of the lower reaches of Willapa River and Willapa Bay, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean located about 30 miles north of the mouth of Columbia River. Willapa River rises in the State of Washington, about 30 miles east of the harbor, flows in a general westerly direction, and empties into the bay. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6185.) Previous projects.-The original project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892 provided for a channel 100 feet wide and 8 feet deep from deep water in Willapa Bay to Willapa City, by dredging and construction of dikes across the head of Mailboat and Lauderbach Sloughs, and for snagging the Nasel River. The act of August 18, 1894, appropriated funds for the work under way and for improving North River by removal of a log jam. The Act of March 3, 1899, authorized additional work in clearing a channel through the log jam on North River and 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 otherwise. The Act of March 2, 1907, contemplated a channel 150 feet 2228 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 downstream from Raymond by a cut-off channel 200 feet wide, 24 feet deep, and about 3,100 feet long; for a channel 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide from deep water in Willapa Bay to the forks of the river at Raymond, 24 feet deep and 150 feet wide up the South Fork as far as the deep basin above the Cram lumber mill, and up the North Fork to a point opposite Twelfth Street, with a turning basin 250 feet wide, 350 feet long, and 24 feet deep at the latter point, and a closing dike at Mailboat Slough; and for a channel from deep water in Palix River to Bay Center Dock, with a depth of 10 feet at mean lower low water over a bottom width of 40 feet, widened at the shoreward end to provide a small mooring basin. The length of the section included in the project is 26 miles for the main channels, and about 2,800 feet for the Palix River-Bay Center Channel. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8.9 feet at Toke Point; 9.9 feet at Raymond; and 9.2 feet at Bay Center. The extreme range is 18 feet at Toke Point; 19.3 feet at Raymond; and 16 feet at Bay Center. The actual cost for new work was $772,637, 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.

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 Raymond and South Bend, and 2 in Tokeland. Five of the wharves at Raymond and South Bend are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels; one of these, which is publicly owned and operated, is open for use as a general cargo terminal; three are located at sawmills; and RIVERS AND HARBORS--SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 2229 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: Real estate records were completed for Bay Center Channel at a cost of $5.75. Maintenance: Hydrographic surveys were made by the United States survey boat Mamala at a cost of $25,187.05. Maintenance dredging in the bar channel in the amount of 308,136 cubic yards (bin measurement) was accomplished by the United States hopper dredge A. MacKenzie, during July 1951, at a cost of $61,539.24. A total of 3,903 cubic yards of material was removed from Bay Center Channel at a cost of $4,107.41, to complete maintenance dredging contract commenced 11 May 1951. Adjustment of prior fiscal year costs for operations of dredge Pacific amounted to $-5,617.05. The costs for the fiscal year were $85,216.65 for maintenance and $5.75 for new work, a total of $85,222.40. The expenditures were $102,063.26. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed 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 20, 1952, showed a controlling depth of 26 feet over a width of 1,500 feet across the bar. The controlling depths in the inner channels (March 1952) were as follows: Below forks at Raymond, 22.5 feet over width of 110 feet; lower 2,200 feet of North Fork, 24 feet over width of 70 feet; and lower 1,450 feet of South Fork, 24 feet over width of 100 feet. The controlling depth in Bay Center Channel in July 1951 was 10.7 feet, except near the south edge of the channel at the head of the waterway. 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, 1952, have been as follows: New work Maintenance --------------------$580, 322.47 $2, 348, 023.54 Regular .---.----- - -----------78, 533. 00 Public Works..----------. ---------------------------Emergency Relief.......----------................--------------------....... 192, 314.06 -------------------------Total, United States funds .....---.........Contributed funds ...--- .----------------------------.....

REMOVING ACCUMULATED SNAGS AND DEBRIS UNDER AUTHORITY OF SECTION 3 OF RIVER AND HARBOR ACT APPROVED MARCH 2, 1945 Section 3 of the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, authorized the allotment of not to exceed $300,000 from any appropriations for any one fiscal year for improvement of rivers and harbors, for removing accumulated snags and other debris, and for protecting, clearing, and straightening channels in navigable harbors and navigable streams and tributaries thereof, when in the opinion of the Chief of Engineers such work is advisable in the interest of navigation or flood control. An allotment of $40,000 was made in October 1951 for channel dredging at Grays Harbor, Wash., to provide a 30-foot channel near the mouth of Chehalis River, which flows into Grays Harbor at Aberdeen, Wash. The authorized project at the locality to be dredged provides for a channel 18 feet deep. A contract was executed for lease of the port of Grays Harbor dredge in April 1952. Work was started on a bulkhead around the disposal area, but was incomplete at the end of the fiscal year owing to a timber workers' strike. RIVERS AND HARBORS---SEATTLE, WASR., DISTRICT 2231' Costs and expenditures for the fiscal year were $651.48, all for maintenance.

ALBENI FALLS RESERVOIR, 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 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 "Newport, 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 a gated, open channel spillway in the left channel and a powerhouse having an installation of 42,600 kilowatts in the right channel, creating a reservoir with a usable storage capacity of 1,153,000 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 latest (1952) estimate of cost for new work is $31,0707000. The latest (1950) estimate for annual cost of operation and maintenance is $345,000.

STILLAGUAMISH RIVER, WASH. Location.-Stillaguamish River is formed by the confluence of its North and South Forks at Arlington, Wash., and flows westerly a distance of 22 miles to Puget Sound, entering Port Susan through Hat Slough and South Pass, and Skagit Bay through West Pass. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6450, and U. S. Geological Survey quadrangles Stanwood, Marysville, and Stillaguamish, Wash.) Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for works to reduce bank erosion and channel changes on Stillaguamish River between Arlington and the head of Hat Slough, a distance of 15 miles, and on Cook Slough, 3 miles long, as follows: Revetment at 26 places on the river and Cook Slough; a concrete control weir 275 feet long between steel sheet pile piers at the head of Cook Slough to limit flow through the slough; and 2 cutoff channels, each about 900 feet long, to eliminate sharp bends in Cook Slough. Tidal influence extends about 3 miles into the improved section. Flood stages of 16 feet above low water at the Cook Slough weir have been observed. The actual cost for new work was $220,594. The latest (1950) estimate for annual cost of maintenance is $15,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936 (H. Doc. 657, 71st Cong., 3d sess.). This document contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation.-Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Repair of revetments was accomplished by contract during December 1951, with costs and expenditures of $11,334.15, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1939. Progressive deterioration of brush mat revetments necessitates annual repair at critical points. Other features are in good condition. The costs and expenditures, to June 30, 1952, have been $134,594.98 from regular funds and $85,999 from Emergency Relief funds, a total of $220,593.98, for new work; and $91,334.15 for maintenance, a total of $311,928.13.

PRIEST RAPIDS DAM, COLUMBIA RIVER, WASH. Location.-Columbia River rises in Columbia Lake, British Columbia, at elevation 2,650, flows northwesterly for nearly 200 miles, then southerly through Upper and Lower Arrow Lakes to enter the United States near the northeast corner of the State of Washington. From the international boundary, the river flows south 112 miles to a point downstream from the mouth of Spokane River, then west 100 miles to the mouth of Okanogan River, passing Grand Coulee Dam and Chief Joseph dam site en route. Swinging south, the river follows the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains for 209 miles to its confluence with Snake River. A few miles below the Snake, it turns sharply westward and flows for 324 miles, forming the Washington-Oregon boundary, to the Pacific Ocean. The works covered by this project are on the Columbia River at mile 397, about 28 miles east of Yakima, Wash. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic sheet, "Priest Rapids.") Existing project.-The project provides for a combination concrete dam and earth-fill embankment directly across the Columbia River, with a crest length of 13,500 feet at elevation 600 feet above mean sea level; for a power pool elevation of 550 feet; a flood control pool elevation of 590 feet with 2,100,000 acre-feet of storage for the control of extraordinary floods. The project provides for a powerhouse with an initial installation of 1,219,000 kilowatts and an ultimate capacity of 1,590,000 kilowatts; and for future navigation locks. The latest (1952) estimate of cost for new work is $338,900,000 (23 units and initial lock construction). The latest (1948) estimate for annual operation and maintenance is $2,723,000 (23 units). 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.-No work is scheduled during fiscal years 1953 and 1954.

(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 open-channel improvement for purposes of providing slack water navigation and irrigation between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston, Idaho. The pool formed by McNary Dam will provide slack water from the mouth of Snake River to mile 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 dimensions are specified above Lewiston. A system of four dams between the mouth of Snake River and Lewiston has been approved. The estimated total cost, revised in 1952, including the installation of three power units at each dam is as follows: Dam Dam Dam Dam 1, Ice Harbor, river mile 9.7----------------------2, Lower Monumental, river mile 44.7 ----------------3, Little Goose, river mile 72.2-------------------------4, Lower Granite, river mile 113.1 ------------------------ $104, 175, 000 94, 466, 000 106, 422, 000 89, 052, 000 -------------------------------------------394, 115, 000 The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945.

NOME HARBOR, ALASKA Location.-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 Harbor and 2,288 nautical miles northwest of Seattle, Wash. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 9302, 9380, 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 depth 250 feet wide and 600 feet long; revetting the banks of the river; and protecting all existing waterfront improvements on the easterly beach by means of a rock-mound seawall, 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 influenced 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. 2285 2286 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 The latest (1952) approved estimate of cost for new work is $2,139,000. The latest (1952) approved estimate for annual cost of maintenance, exclusive of the seawall, which is to be maintained by local interests, is $70,000, 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.

June 16,1948 Sea wall-............------------------------................................. Report of the Chief of Engineers dated Mar. 8, 1948. 1 Contains 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 improvements 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 seawall, local interests are required to furnish without cost to the United States, the necessary lands, easements, rights-of-way, and quarry rights; accomplish without expense to the United States, alterations! as may be required to utility facilities; agree to hold and save the United States free from any claims for damages that may result from construction of the project; and agree to maintain the works after completion. These conditions have been met. Terminal facilities.--Cargoesand passengers from ocean vessels are lightered to and from shore a distance of about 2 miles. Traffic enters the dredged channel and is handled over the revetment, where transfer facilities that are open to public use have been installed by a lighterage company. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-There was no new work during the fiscal year. Costs for new work on the seawall completed in June 1951 were $2,762.80. Maintenance was performed by Government plant and hired labor, July to October 1951 and June 1952, and consisted of dredging 9,800 cubic yards at a cost of $30,964.96 and continuing revetment repairs by strengthening the tie back system and facing the south revetment with sheet steel piling at a cost of $20,555.92. Materials or patching the rough spots on the east jetty were purchased at a cost of $2,459. Maintenance costs were $53,979.88, $51,479.88 from Federal funds and $2,500 from contributed funds. RIVERS AND HARBORS--ALASKA DISTRICT 2287 Total expenditures were $81,049.63, $76,049.63 from Federal funds and $5,000 from contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The project was 63 percent complete. Construction of the original 335- and 460-foot jetties and the revetments was commenced in 1919 and completed in 1923. Reconstruction of the jetties with concrete to modified lengths of 240 feet and 400 feet was completed in 1940. Dredging of the channel and the original 200- by 250-foot basin was commenced in 1919 and completed in 1922. 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 exception 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. 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 project 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, 1952, have been $1,348,240.04 for new work and $1,205,219.03 for maintenance, a total of $2,553,459.07, and the expenditures have been $2,545,652.50. The costs from contributed funds have been $125 for new work and $75,000 for maintenance, a total of $75,125, and the expenditures have been $75,125.

Two privately owned wharves serving general cargo and passenger terminals, one of which includes a cold-storage facility, are open for public use. The remaining wharves serve various industrial purposes. One of the floats is publicly owned and is open for public use for mooring and servicing small craft, and two privately owned floats serve oil-handling facilities. Additional mooring floats to accommodate 200 small boats are required. Operations and results during fiscal year.-A condition survey was made to determine extent of shoaling within the basin boundaries. Project depth of 10 feet was available over most of the area, with two small areas having depths of 9.1 feet. Costs were $1,350.36, all for maintenance; expenditures were $1,194.29. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 16 percent complete. Point Shekesti breakwater was completed in 1926. The original basin was completed in 1936. In June 1952, project depths were available in the completed small-boat basin except for small areas along the edges. The work remaining to be done is to dredge the inner basin and construct the breakwater north of Shakes Island. The costs have been $91,020.98 for new work and $4,700.23 for maintenance, a total of $95,721.21. The expenditures have been $96,565.14.

"Theenabling 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 harbor and flood-control projects be reviewed by the Board prior to submission of the reports by the Chief of Engineers with his recommendation to Congress. The review is for the purpose of determining 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 improvement 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 Transportation 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 miscellaneous publications containing information on port and terminal charges, and shipping charges at the United States ports. It compiles and publishes part II of the annual report of the Chief of Engineers which contains statistics pertaining to water-borne commerce in the United 'States. On June 30, 1952, the Board was composed of the following members: Maj. Gen. George J. Nold, Deputy Chief of Engineers, Brig. Gen. Don G. Shingler, division engineer, Missouri River Division, Col.

The collection and compilation of statistics on water-borne commerce have been continued by the Corps of Engineers as required by law. The Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers, Part 2, 1951, containing the water-borne commerce statistics of the United States for the calendar year 1950 was published and distributed. The water-borne commerce statistics pamphlet containing the basic national tables included in the annual report on a preliminary basis was released approximately eight months prior to delivery of the annual report by the printer. A listing of the waterways authorized for improvement and improved by the Corps of Engineers was completed showing the mileages by depths authorized and improved. A summary tabulation of this listing was reproduced in quantity for distribution. 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 1952--BEACH EROSION BOARD The Beach Erosion Board was organized under authority of section 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 program, the Chief of Engineers was directed to form a board of seven members to assist in the conduct of studies, review the reports on such investigations and submit recommendations. By executive ruling the agency applying for a cooperative study under this act is required to contribute 50 percent of the estimated cost of the investigation. Each study results in a report containing plans and specific recommendations as to methods or means to improve or remedy a condition at a particular locality. A summary of such cooperative studies follows: Number of Number of Number of Number of Number of 'Includes ---.. applications for studies approved prior to July 1, 1951 applications for studies approved during fiscal year 1952_... reports completed prior to July 1, 1951_ -.... _-- reports completed during fiscal year 1952 1---- ------------studies remaining to be completed 2-__, _ _ 76 3. (6 10 16 reconsideration of report on Presque Isle Peninsula, Erie Pa., previously reported completed during fiscal year 1950. ' These studies involve 26 localities and will result in 26 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 shoreline 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, restoration and development of beaches; and to publish from time to time such useful data and information concerning the erosion and protection of beaches and shore lines as the Board may deem to be of value to the people of the United States. Federal participation in the cost of protecting the shores of publicly owned property was established in the act approved August 13, 1946 (Public Law 727, 79th Cong.) which declared it to be the policy of the United States to assist in the construction, but not the maintenance, 2311 2312 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 divisions; provided that the Federal contribution toward the construction 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 connected therewith. At the end of fiscal year 1952 the Board was composed of the following members: Col. Earl E. Gesler, United States Army, president; Col. Wendell P. Trower, United States Army, division engineer, Great Lakes Division, Chicago, Ill.; Col. Donald S. Burns, United States Army, division engineer, South Pacific Division, San Francisco, Calif.; Col. Herman W. Schull, Jr., 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, engineering consultant, Division of Waterways, Department of Conservation, State of Minnesota. In addition to the foregoing, Col. Richard W. Pearson, United States Army, was detailed to membership on the Board for a part of the year. During the fiscal year 1952, the Board carried out studies and investigations in cooperation with appropriate agencies of various States and territories and with the field offices of the Corps of Engineers to develop efficient works for the protection and stabilization of the shores and beaches of coastal and lake waters. The Board completed the review of cooperative beach erosion control reports on Lake Erie shores from Fairport to Ashtabula and from Ashtabula to the Pennsylvania State line, Ohio; and at Presque Isle Peninsula, Erie, Pa.; Pacific coast of California from Carpenteria to Point Mugu; and State of Connecticut from Connecticut River to Hammonasset River and from Pawcatuck River to Thames River; State of South Carolina at Pawleys Island, Edisto Beach, and Hunting Island; city of Ocean City, N. J.; city of Virginia Beach, Va.; and Lake Michigan shore of Racine County, Wis. The Board also completed a survey report on beach erosion at Cold Spring Inlet, N. J. and 14 reports on the beach erosion aspects of navigation or floodcontrol improvements as provided in section 5 of the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935.

Publication of the quarterly bulletin to disseminate rapidly pertinent information to the public was continued. Three technical papers prepared by the staff were published in the technical press. Four technical research papers were published by the Board. Seven papers reporting results of research were prepared but not published and two others were in preparation. A design manual for shoreprotection structures, including both functional and structural design and the economic life of structures with examples and a glossary of terms, was also in preparation. All operating equipment for the coast model test basin was designed and procured. Equipment for the large outdoor wave tank adjacent to the Board office building was designed but not procured. Three contracts with universities for research to supplement the staff activities were continued and two new such contracts were negotiated. Two projects were prosecuted by the waterways experiment station at Vicksburg for the Board. At the end of the year, studies were in progress on: the characteristics of ocean waves by actual measurement at eight locations; 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; methods of bypassing sand at inlets; sources of beach material; and loss of wave energy by bottom friction and percolation. In addition the staff has worked on six military projects for various defense agencies. CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION This Commission, consisting of three officers of the Corps of Engineers appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate, was created by the act of Congress approved March 1, 1893 (27 Stat. L., p. 507), was organized in San Francisco, Calif., on June 8, 1893, and has jurisdiction and duties extending over the drainage area of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, comprising the great central valley of California and extending from the crest of the Sierra Nevada on the east to that of the Coast Range on the west and from Mount Shasta and the Pitt River Basin on the north to the Tehachapi Mountains on the south. These rivers empty into the head of Suisun Bay, ultimately discharging into the Pacific Ocean through the connecting bays and straits and the Golden Gate. The duties prescribed by the act creating the Commission are: First: To regulate hydraulic mining in such a way as to permit its resumption and continuance under such restrictions as to prevent the resulting debris from being carried into navigable waters or otherwise causing damage. Second: To study and report upon general hydraulic and hydraulicmining 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, 1951, to September 24, 1951; Col. D. S. Burns, September 25, 1951, to date: Secretary-Col. C. C. Haug; Member--Col. William R. Shuler. The secretary has immediate supervision of the work of the Commission. IMPROVEMENTS Navigation Page 1.

REGULATION OF HYDRAULIC MINING AND PREPARATION OF PLANS Location.-Operationsare largely limited to the territory between Mount Lassen on the north and the Yosemite Valley on the south. on the western watershed of the Sierra Nevada. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheets for the area, 25 in number.) Existing project.-This provides for regulating hydraulic-mining operations, planning the improvement of conditions upon the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers and their tributaries affected by such operations, and the preparation of plans to enable hydraulic mining to be resumed in their drainage areas. On application by prospective miners, full investigation is made by the California Debris Commission, and permits to operate are issued to those who provide satisfactory debris-restraining basins by construction of suitable dams where necessary or use Government-constructed debris-restraining reservoirs constructed under the act of June 19, 1934, as set forth below. In addition, the Secretary of the Army is authorized to 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. The (1952) estimate of cost of this work is $15,000 per annum. The existing project was authorized by the following acts: Acts Mar. Work authorized 1,1893 Feb. 27, 19071 June 19, 1934 2 June 25, 19383 Created California Debris Commission and authorized (a) hydraulic mining under its regulation in the drainage areas of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, if possible without injury to the navigability of these river systems or to lands adjacent thereto; and (b)preparation of plans by the Commission for improvement of the navigability of these river systems, and flood and debris control therein. Authorized California Debris Commission to permit hydraulic mining without constructioi of impounding works, provided there is no injury to the navigability of the above river systems or the lands adjacent thereto. Amended act of Mar. 1, 1893, which provides for construction of debris dams or other restraining works by the California Debris Commission and collection of a 3-percent tax on the gross proceeds of each mine using such facilities, so as to eliminate this tax and substitute an annual tax per cubic yard mined, obtained by dividing the total capital cost of each dam, reservoir, and rights-of-way, by the total capacity of the reservoir for restraint of debris; and authorized revocation of Commission orders permitting such mining, for failure to pay this annual tax within 30 days after its due date; and also authorized receipt of money advances from mine owners to aid such construction, to be refunded later from the annual payments of yardage taxes on material mined. Added at the end of sec. 23 of above act, a provision that the Secretary of the Army is authorized to 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 depositd to the credit of such reservoir project, reducing its capital cost to be repaid by tax on mining operations.

RIVERS AND HARBORS-CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2317 Local cooperation.-Mine owners are required to bear all expenses incurred in complying with the orders of the Commission for regulation of mining and restraint of debris. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-There were 43 hydraulic mining inspections made. Cost of these inspections, regulation of hydraulic mining, issuance of licenses and other administrative work was $6,585 during the fiscal year for maintenance. Total expenditures were $7,660.38. 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 1,281 applications for hydraulic mining licenses; 18 mines are licensed, of which 7 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 Reservoirs, to determine the rate of debris movement into the several reservoirs. Work remaining to be done is, in general, the continuation of the above or similar operations. The total cost of all work to date was $733,571.58 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $733,733.02. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1952, amounting to $1,245.91 and accounts receivable of $161.44, together with an allotment of $6,500 for maintenance in fiscal year 1953, a total of $7,907.35, will be applied as follows: Maintenance: Inspection of mining activities and sampling of debris content of streams, by hired labor, during fiscal year------------------_ $2, 900. 00 Administration in connection with mining activities, and preparation of plans for improving navigability of streams and for flood control and debris regulation, by hired labor, during fiscal year------------------------------------------------5, 007. 35 Total application of funds-----------------------------7, 907.35 The sum of $8,000 can be profitably expended for maintenance during the fiscal year 1954 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.

TREATMENT OF THE YUBA RIVER DEBRIS SITUATION--RESTRAINING BARRIERS Location.-The works are located on the Yuba River between Marysville and the place where the river emerges from the foothills, near Hammonton, some 10 miles easterly from Marysville, or about 9 miles below the Narrows. (See U. S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Existing project.--Tis provides for storage of mining debris within the bed of the Yuba River by means of a debris barrier, and by the restraint of flow channel to narrow limits by means of training walls and other regulation works. The object of storing this debris in the Yuba River-a nonnavigable stream--is to keep it from passing into the Sacramento and Feather Rivers to the detriment of navigation therein. The variation in water levels due to floods is about 12 feet. The 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 1952 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 projects.") The existing project was adopted in a rather indefinite form by the River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, and in its more definite form by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902 (H. Doc. 431,. 56th Cong., 1st sess.). (For the latest published map, see U. S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Local cooperation.-Requirements.of local cooperation are being complied with, progressively with the work. The State of California contributes annually an amount equal to the Federal allotment. Operations and results during fiscal year.--Maintenance: Operations during the year included construction of cobble riprap bank protection with grouted rock facing of right abutment at DaguerrePoint Dam, by hired labor; levee repairs and bank protection at. various sites along Yuba River, near Marysville, by contracts; and repair to deck of Daguerre Point Dam, by hired labor. Total cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was $116,315.26, of which $58,157.63 was United States funds and $58,157.63 contributed funds. Total expenditures were $116,351.59, of which $59,072.15 were United States. funds and $57,279.44 contributed funds. Two concrete fish ladders were constructed under contract by the State of California, Division of Fish and Game, under plans approved by the Corps of Engineers. This work, the entire cost of which was. borne by the State of California, was completed in August 1951. Condition as end of fiscal year.-The existing project was completed in 1935. Three training walls, having a total length of 85,100 feet and providing two 500-foot 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 constructed 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 mil- lions of cubic yards of mining debris which would otherwise have passed into the navigable channels of Feather and Sacramento Rivers. RIVERS AND HARBORS---CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2319 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 ° approach for flows toward the crest of the dam.

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, Calif. (See U. S. Geological Survey sheets for the basin areas, seven in number.) Existing project.--The project was designed to permit the resumption 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 estimated Federal costs for new work and for annual maintenance are $6,945,000 (based on 1935 price index) and $25,000 (1952), respectively. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doec. 50, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). For latest published map see the project document. The act approved November 6, 1945, provided that the dam constructed 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. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-New work: There were no operations, no costs were incurred, and there were no expenditures for new work during the fiscal year. Maintenance: Operations during the fiscal year included miscellaneous maintenance work at Harry L. Englebright (Upper Narrows) and North Fork Dams and provision of guard service for each dam; the preceding work was accomplished by hired labor. Total cost for maintenance during the fiscal year was $15,333.46, and total expenditures were $15,025.10. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project is 76 percent complete. The North Fork Dam and Reservoir was completed and in use at the end of the fiscal year 1939; additional work of excavation and reinforcement of the left abutment of the dam was done in the fis- RIVERS AND HARBORS CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2321 cal year 1941. The reservoir is located on the North Fork of the American River about 5 miles northeast of the city of Auburn and 40 miles northeast of Sacramento. 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 supplementary agreement; repairs to footings and abutments and improvements of grounds were completed in 1944. The reservoir is located on the Yuba River about 20 miles northeast of the city of Marysville. The dam is 260 feet high, 1,142 feet long, and the reservoir has a debris-storage capacity 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 litigation involving mining interests, and a review of the report in the project document was made, giving consideration to alternative locations of the proposed dam. This review has been reassigned. The total cost of the project was $5,291,374.99 for new work and $307,361.95 for maintenance, a total of $5,598,736.94. The total expenditures were $5,597,676.59.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, -CALIF., FLOOD CONTROL Location.-The works covered by this improvement are on the Sacramento River and tributaries in north central California from Collinsville 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. " 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 construction and reconstruction 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 intercepting channels, levees, pumping plants and drainage works to convey intercepted and interior drainage into the project waterways; the stabilization of caving banks by the construction of bank protection works and levee set-backs; and the clearing of bypass and natural flood channels to provide efficient flow characteristics and abridge low water channel meanders. 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, ~ectification, snagging, and bank protection. Maintenance is provided for the enlarged channel below the mouth of Cache Slough, including revetment of the banks of the cut, until completion of the Existing project. FLOOD CONTROL--CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 2323 The above levee improvements were supplemented by works authorized by the Flood Control Acts of December 22, 1944, and May 17, 1950 (H. Doc. 649, 78th Cong., 2d sess., and H. Doc. 367, 81st Cong., 1st sess.). The levee construction and reconstruction provided for in these authorizations, including reservoirs and works for protection of Upper Butte Basin, are reported upon by the Sacramento District under improvement No. 18, "Sacramento River and tributaries, from Collinsville to Shasta Dam, Calif." page 2090. The estimated (1952) Federal cost of the existing project (exclusive of the improvements authorized by the Flood Control Acts of December 22, 1944 and May 17, 1950), including new work and maintenance, is $61,535,000. 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 Committee print, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), and the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. 205, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation.-The Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928, provided that local interests were to contribute one-half the cost of construction of project levees, estimated at $3,191,500, and furnish the lands, rights-of-way, and easements therefor. The modified project which was adopted in the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937, provided that the State of California should execute and maintain the remainder of the general flood-control project, 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 reconstruction recommended in the project document (Senate Committee print, 75th Cong., 1st sess.), should not be undertaken until the State of California, political subdivisions thereof, or responsible local agencies have agreed to provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way for said works, including the cost of all alterations to highways, road crossings, and drainage and irrigation facilities incident to the work, and shall have contributed onethird of the cost of bank revetment and levee reconstruction, with the understanding. that the contribution of funds will be made as required by the progress of the work; and the State of California was to undertake the operation of the movable top of Sacramento Weir in accordance with the schedules established by the California Debris Commission. The modification of the project authorized in the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941, relieves local interests of all future construction costs under the existing project, but requires them to give as- surances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will 2324 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 (a) provide all needed lands, easements, and rights-of-way free of cost to the United States, (b) bear the expense of necessary highway, railroad, and bridge alterations, (c) hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from construction of the works, and (d) maintain and operate all flood-control works after completion, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army.

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. Culbertson; DeWitt L. Pyburn, civil engineer; Brig. Gen. Don G. Shingler, Corps of Engineers; and Eugene F. Salisbury, civil engineer. Jurisdiction.-The Mississippi River Commission, created by act of Congress approved June 28, 1879, is charged, under the direction of the Secretary of the Army and supervision of the Chief of Engineers, with prosecution of improvements for flood control of the Mississippi River and of its tributaries and outlets in its alluvial valley, so far as they are affected by Mississippi River backwater, between Head of Passes, La. (mile 0), and Cape Girardeau, Mo. (mile 1,016), and with prosecution of 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 Rapides, 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 two Canadian Provinces. Its alluvial valley, some 30,000 square miles in extent, includes former overflow areas designated as the St. Francis, White, Tensas, Atchafalaya, and Lafourche Basins west of the river and the Yazoo and Pontchartrain Basins east of the river. Observations made by the Mississippi River Commission to June 30, 1952, show approximate maximum and minimum discharges between the levees as follows: Cairo to White River 2,000,000 and 70,000 cubic feet per second, thence to Red River 2,150,000 and 90,000 cubic feet per second; thence to the Gulf of Mexico 1,500,000 and 80,000 cubic feet per second in the 2331 248558-53--vol. 2-77 2332 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 occurred as early as January in the upper reaches of the lower river. Extreme ranges in stages recorded at representative gages are about 60 feet at Cairo, 53 feet at Memphis, 57 feet at Red River Landing, and 23 feet at Carrollton. The river is nontidal above the mouth of Red River where the amplitude of the tide rarely exceeds 0.1 foot during extreme low water. ORGANIZATION Office of the president.-The president of the Mississippi River Commission is its executive officer. 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 Commisssion 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 Pontchartrain 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 CoahomaBolivar 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 Arkansas; Bayou Lafourche in Louisiana; Arkansas River to 3 miles upstream from Pine Bluff; and the Yazoo River and Basin, Miss. (including Big Sunflower River and tributaries, and Steele Bayou) ; Prairie Region and Bayou Meto Basin, north of Arkansas River. Lt. Col. G. F. Dixon, Jr., Corps of Engineers, district engineer to July 8, and since October 9, 1951; Lt. Col. Roy D. McCarty, Corps of Engineers, acting district engineer from July 9, 1951 through October 9, 1951. Memphis district: Mississippi River from upper limits of the Vicksburg district to north bank of Little River Diversion Channel (mile 51 above dairo and just below Cape Girardeau, Mo.), 440 miles, on the right bank, and to Thebes, Ill. (mile 46 above Cairo), Grand 395 miles, on the left bank, with operations above Cairo restricted to MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2333 levee work; White River to Peach Orchard Bluff, Ark. (backwater limit); Levees to Gregory Hill and intermittently to a point about 3 miles above Augusta; St. Francis River and Basin, Mo., and Ark.; Little River Diversion Channel, Mo.; Ohio River, Ill. and Ky., to mouth of Cache River, Ill. District headquarters are located on Government reservation near West Memphis, Ark., opposite Memphis, Tenn. Col. L. H. Foote, Corps of Engineers, district engineer through April 11, 1952; Lt. Col. R. C. Bahr, Corps of Engineers, acting district engineer, from April 12, 1952, to April 24, 1952, and Col. A. F. Clark, Jr., district engineer, since that date. Field operations of the Commission above Cape Girardeau, restricted to levee construction under section 6 of the 1928 Flood Control Act (local interests contributing one-third of costs and furnishing rights-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 Memphis district, to Clemens Station, Mo., mile 302 above Cairo on the right bank, and to. Hamburg Bay, Ill., mile 263 above Cairo on the left bank; Illinois River to mile 120, near Havana, Ill., and Missouri River to St. Charles, Mo. (backwater limits), for flood-control operations. Major E. B. Campbell, Corps of Engineers, acting district engineer to July 18, 1951; and Col. F. E. Ressegieu, Corps of Engineers, district engineer 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 February 17, 1880, contemplated improvement of the channel to secure a least depth of 10 feet at extreme low-water by contraction of the low-water channel, protection of banks against caving, and control of flood water by levees. For further details see page 1944, annual report for 1932, and page 1682, annual report for 1937. EXISTING PROJECT This provides for protection of the alluvial valley of the Mississippi, 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 accordance therewith. The total authorized cost, including the modifications author- 2334 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 ized by the act of May 17, 1950, is $1,292,748,500, including maintenance charges through August 18, 1941. The estimated 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.

Recommended modification of project.--The Mississippi River Commission has submitted a report to the Chief of Engineers dated September 20, 1950 (Senate Document No. 53, 82d Cong., 1st sess.) recommending the following modification of project: Navigation improvement on Atchafalaya and Old Rivers between Morgan City, La., and the Mississippi River by providing a 12- by 125-foot channel through shoal areas in Grand and Six Mile Lakes at an estimated additional first cost of $440,000 and an estimated annual cost of $150,000 for maintenance. This plan was concurred in by the Chief of Engineers on May 1, 1951. Local cooperation.-Generally requirements of local cooperation have been met with respect to initial construction, but maintenance operations have not been satisfactory in all cases. Terminal facilities.-See Port Series for New Orleans, La., No. 20, 1947, and Lake Charles, La., No. 21, 1947, also folio of Flood Control and Navigation Maps of the Mississippi River, Cairo, Ill., to the Gulf of Mexico (nineteenth edition) September 1951. OPERATIONS AND RESULTS DURING FISCAL YEAR Commission activities.-The two hundred thirty-eighth session of the Commission was held on board the U. S. steamer Mississippi en route from Cairo, Ill., to New Orleans, La., December 1-6, 1951. The two hundred thirty-ninth session was held on board the U. S. steamer Missississippien route from Cape Girardeau, Mo., to mouth of Old River, La., and New Orleans, La., to Gulf of Mexico, La., including Atchafalaya River from its mouth to Morgan City, La., April 16-22, 1952. 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 navigation. A public meeting with navigation interests was held in New Orleans, La., on August 16, 1951 for the purpose of discussing navigation problems and solutions and channel maintenance requirements as concerns barge MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2341 commerce on the Mississippi River below Cairo, Ill., and on February 13-18, 1952, certain members of the Commission, together with Ma. Gen. M. C. Tyler, United States Army, retired, former president of the Mississippi River Commission, made an inspection trip, on board the U. S. steamer Newton, of the Old, Atchafalaya, and Mississippi Rivers from Vicksburg, Miss., to New Orleans, La. In addition to the inspection trips via steamer, members of the Commission inspected major flood-control and navigation improvements under the jurisdiction of the Commission and reviewed and acted on four reports, namely: "Preliminary Report on Flood Control and Drainage on the Loosahatchie River, Tenn.-Lower Mississippi River"; "Review Report-Lower Mississippi River, for Flood Protection in the New Madrid floodway, Missouri"; Preliminary "Review report on White River with respect to Big Creek, Ark."; and "Review Report-Mississippi River and Tributaries re Vicksburg-Yazoo area, Mississippi." Work was prosecuted on the engineering study, authorized by the Chief of Engineers, concerning the possibility of the future capture of the Mississippi River by the Atchafalaya River. The president, Mississippi River Commission, and his engineering assistants made periodic inspections of flood-control, navigation, and related works under the existing project along the Mississippi River and tributaries in the alluvial valley from Cairo to the Gulf of Mexico. No major floods occurred during the fiscal year but through the combined efforts of local authorities and Federal 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 discharge observations made. Results thereof are presented in detail in annual pamphlets issued by the Mississippi River Commission. Alluvial valley mapping.-Preparationand publication of contoured maps of the valley (scale 1: 62,500) were continued. In the Memphis district, six remapped quadrangles were completedPortageville, Caruthersville, Manila, Evadale, Marked Tree, and Deckerville; 17 new and remapped quadrangles are in the process of reproduction-Henrico, Mellwood, Farrell, Indian Bay, DeWitt, Latour, Park Place, Holly Springs, Memphis, Edmondson, Jericho, Mason, Osceola, Blytheville, Hales Point, Reelfoot Lake, and New Madrid; and a contract for the compilation of new planimetry on 12 quadrangles located in the White River and St. Francis River Basins, awarded fiscal year 1951, is underway. Two additional quadrangles are about 30 percent complete and preparation has been been started on the compilation of six others. In the Vicksburg district Pittsboro, Sardis, and Oakland quadrangle maps were completed. Mapping of the water valley and Coffeeville quadrangles was continued by hired labor. Under contract, mapping was continued on Grenada quadrangle, aerial photography and compilation work were initiated on McCarley, Duck Hill, and Walthall quadrangles. In the New Orleans district redrafting of the Morgan City quadrangle map (scale 1:48,000) was completed. This map will be published to scale 2342 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, 62,500. U. S. ARMY, 1952 Work was continued on the revisions of nine existing 1: quadrangle maps, namely, Fordoche, Odenburg, Osca Bayou, Batchelor, Arnaudville, Bonnet Carre, St. Bernard, Belle Isle, and Jeanerette. Costs incurred for surveys, gages, and observations and for alluvial valley mapping during the fiscal year, not including cost of surveys incident and chargeable to construction features, are given in table F. Dredging.-A total of 22,367,340 cubic yards of material was dredged in the Mississippi River in the three districts. In addition to dredging, channel patrols and surveys were made as required; navigation notices issued; navigation aids maintained; snags, wrecks, and obstructions removed; liaison contact pilot service with commercial navigation was maintained; channel conditions were broadcast by radio; and velocity data were furnished at troublesome reaches. Dredging by districts was as follows: New Orleans district-Channel maintenance: One Governmentowned dustpan dredge operated on the Mississippi River at mile 300.8 above Head of Passes, moving 1,490,285 cubic yards of material.

Description of minor floods by districts follows: Memphis district: Rains occurring over the upper reaches of the Mississippi River and Ohio River Basins during February and March 1952, resulted in a Mississippi River crest stage of 50.65 feet on the Cairo gage on March 27, 1952, with a corresponding maximum discharge of about 1,220,000 cubic feet per second. Confined floods occurred in the St. Francis River Basin during November and December 1951 with a maximum stage of 21.2 at St. Francis Town, Ark., on 2352 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 November 30,1951. On the White River a maximum stage of 23.2 feet occurred at Georgetown, Ark., on 26 April 1952. Vicksburg district: Stages on the Mississippi River in this district were not high. Crest stages ranged from about 8 feet below flood stage at Arkansas City to about 4 feet below flood stage at Natchez. Stages were moderate on the Ouachita River, but minor floods occurred in January, March, and April. In the Yazoo Basin minor floods occurred in January, February, and March. Stages of 28.2 at Swan Lake on Tallahatchie River and 29.3 at Greenwood on the Yazoo River caused little flooding and were the lowest since 1947 and 1941, respectively. It is estimated that completed flood control works in the basin reduced stages about 3 feet on the Tallahatchie River and 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 or higher for 174 days. The highest stage at Carrollton (flood stage 17.0) was 16.10 and Red River Landing (flood stage 45.0) was 43.70. On the Red River at Alexandria (flood stage 32.0) the highest stage recorded was 33.80, with corresponding stage in the Atchafalaya Basin. Melville (flood stage 41.0) reached a stage of 37.42. CONDITION AT END OF FISCAL YEAR Survey of the entire river below Cairo, Ill., 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 fl'ood-control improvements completed under the existing project comprise levees, bank protection works, channel improvements (including cutoffs), floodways, outlets, and tributary basin improvements, summarized as follows: There are 2,816 miles of project levees (2,019 miles of which are built to approved grade and section) with earth work aggregating about 1,325,816 cubic yards, below Cape Girardeau and 585 miles (375 miles of which are built to approved grade and section) with earth work aggregating 147,616 cubic yards, above Cape Girardeau, as listed in tables E-1 through E-4. Roads have been constructed on 33 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 389 miles in the Memphis district. In the New Orleans district, about 36 miles of levees on the right bank and 13 miles on the left bank are protected against wave wash by timber structures, and about 46 miles of levees on the right bank and 29 miles on the left bank are protected by pavement on the riverside levee slope. There are in place 234.01 miles of operative bank revetments on the Mississippi River and about 7.29 miles on the Arkansas, Red, and Ohio Rivers as listed in tables D-1 through D-3. A channel 9 by 300 feet is maintained by dredging as required during the low water season. During the high water season, which usually prevails from the 1st of January to the 1st of June, greater navigation depths are available between Cairo, Ill., and Baton Rouge, MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 2353 La. Below Baton Rouge, La., a channel 35 by 500 feet is maintained by dredging as required during the low water season under the River and Harbor project, "Mississippi River, Baton Rouge to the Gulf of Mexico, La." Since 1928 annual maintenance and premaintenance dredging have averaged about 30,000,000 cubic yards. In years of extreme low water of long duration, as much as 75,000,000 cubic yards may be removed in the maintenance of the 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 cutoffs, have reduced the distance from Baton Rouge to Cairo to about 737 miles from about 860 miles in 1929. The effect of channel improvement works on carrying capacity of the river is given on page 1811, annual report of Chief of Engineers for 1943. On the west side of the Atchafalaya basin, levees extend from Mansura Hills to Hamburg to divert floodwaters into the West Atchafalaya floodway and the Atchafalaya River. The Bayou des Glaises levee extends from Hamburg to Simmesport. Continuous levee systems, except at certain railroad and highway crossings, extend along the east and west limits of the floodway. The east protection levee starts 3.3 miles below Lottie and extends southward to Morgan City; south of Morgan City levees are being constructed on Tiger Island and Avoca Island. The west protection levees extend from Hamburg to Berwick drainage canal via the Calumet floodgates, and a system of levees is partially complete west of Berwick and the lower Atchafalaya River from the Berwick drainage canal to the Charenton drainage canal, via the Calumet floodgates, including Bayou Sale and Teche Ridge levees. For status of these levees see table E-1. Floodway and basin improvements, other than levees, completed prior to 1943 are as described on pages 1884 and 1885 of the annual report of the Chief of Engineers for 1943.

This institution is the Waterways Experiment Station with installations at Vicksburg, Miss. and Jackson, Miss. It was initially established in 1929, under the jurisdiction of the president, Mississippi River Commission. By general order No. 9, Office, Chief of Engineers, July 29, 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, Concrete Research and Technical Services Divisions, and the necessary construction, administrative and service faclities for the conduct of experimental research and development and field exploration work. The Flexible Pavement Branch of the Soils Division conducts airfield, landing mat and trafficability studies for the Office, Chief of Engineers. The concrete and soils laboratories also serve as division laboratories for the lower Mississippi Valley Division. The Mississippi River Commission field printing plant is located at and operated by the Station. The Experiment Station has as its functions the experimental investigation 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; prototype testing 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 primarily for other Corps of Engineers offices and also, with authority of the Chief of Engineers, for other Government agencies, private concerns, and foreign governments. The Experiment Station maintains close contact with the field in all experimental work, both by station personnel visiting the field 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 assembling of experimental engineering data from all sources, domestic and foreign, in the technical fields assigned to it; the translation 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 during 2385 2386 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 fiscal year 1952, 1 annual summary, 45 reports of individual studies, 2 bulletins, and 14 translations of foreign articles were distributed to Corps of Engineers and pertinent outside agencies. Additionally, the editing and printing units of the technical services division completed approximately 30 publication assignments for other offices. 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 direct from agencies for whom the work is performed. The cost for operation of the Station for the 12 months ending June 30, 1952, amounted to $4,656,645, of which $4,181,013 was charged to establishments served for practical research investigations and related services, and $475,632 for permanent improvements and miscellaneous operating expenses. Of the reimbursable work, $2,747,165 was charged to civil funds, $1,492,834 to military funds, and $416,646 to nongovernmental agencies. The total cost incurred for operation of the Waterways Experiment Station to June 30, 1952, amounted to $37,831,228 of which $29,553,977 was for reimbursable operations and $8,277,251 for the cost of permanent improvements and miscellaneous operating expenses. PERMANENT INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION CONGRESSES OF 'NAVIGATION OF THE 1. By an act approved June 28, 1902, Congress appropriated the sum of $3,000 per year for the support and maintenance of the Permanent International Commission of the Congresses of Navigation and for the payment of the actual expenses of the properly accredited national delegates of the United States to the meetings of the Congresses and of the Commission. An increase in this appropriation 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 annually from such governments and their nationals for the expenses of the commission. Corporate membership may or may not include the privilege of representation by delegate. Two classes of corporate membership are available. The class paying the higher annual subscription has the privilege of representation by delegate. Life individual membership may be secured upon the payment of a single fee or ordinary individual membership upon the payment annually of a fixed fee. 3. The general affairs of the association are managed by a permanent commission with the assistance of a permanent council. The commission is composed of delegates from the supporting governments, and the council is chosen from the members of the permanent commission, the representation in each case being according to the amount of the annual contribution. 4. During the fiscal year 1952 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.

William M. Callaghan, Military Sea Transport Service (alternate-Rear Adm. R. E. Wilson, United States Navy, chief of staff and deputy commander, MSTS). 7. The American section was represented at the general assembly meeting of the UATO (Union of International Engineering Organizations-under the auspices of UNESCO) at Paris, France, on May 27, 1952, by Maj. James R. Richardson, Corps of Engineers, United States Army, who was stationed in Paris at that time. 8. Chapter V of the PIANC illustrated technical dictionary in six languages was completed and made available to Government agencies and members desiring it. Semiannual bulletin (No. 35) printed in english was distributed to the American members. 9. Writers selected American papers on the 12 subjects to be considered at the 18th International Navigation Congress to be held in Rome, Italy, September 14-23, 1953. 10. The membership of the American section on June 30, 1952 is 640. 11. The expenditures during the year from the appropriation referred to in paragraph 1 above amounted to $3,079.37 of which $1,500 was paid to the headquarters office at Brussels for the maintenance of the association, being the regular annual contribution for the year 1952. The balance of $1,579.37 was for the payment of traveling expenses of the delegate from the United States, and for postage. The unexpended balance on June 30, 1952 is $5,617.73. 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, 70th Congress, approved March 2, 1929, authorized a further survey to bring the data up to date, as well as an investigation of additional facilities needed at the Panama Canal, to be made under the direction.of the Secretary of War and supervision of the Chief of Engineers, with the aid of such civilian engineers as the President deemed advisable. The 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, 72d Congress, 1st session. An officer and one warrant officer were stationed in Nicaragua to continue the collection and compilation of hydrological and meteorological data pertaining to the proposed canal. At the close of the fiscal year the functions were transferred to the Inter-American Geodetic Survey to be carried out, under the direction of the Chief of Engineers, in conjunction with the other activities of IAGS. 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 recommended in House Document No. 139, 72d Congress, 1st session, and such incidental expenses as may be necessary in connection therewith are to be paid from appropriations hereafter made for examinations, surveys, and contingencies of rivers and harbors. The expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1952, were $10,689.26, from appropriations made for examinations, surveys, and contingencies of rivers and harbors. It is estimated that $10,500 will be expended in continuing the operations during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1953. In addition an amount of $6,549.49 is required for fiscal year 1953 for reimbursement of New Orleans district for vehicles purchased and transportation cost incurred, for Nicaraguan Canal survey office prior to transfer to IAGS. 2389 INVESTIGATIONS AND SUPERVISION OF PROJECTS UNDER THE FEDERAL WATER POWER ACT The Federal Water Power Act of June 10, 1920, created the Federal Power Commission, composed of the Secretary of War, Secretary of the Interior, and Secretary of Agriculture, with authority to grant permits and licenses for hydroelectric developments in all waters over which Congress has jurisdiction. The act further required that the work of the Commission be performed by and through the Departments of War, Interior, and Agriculture, and their engineering, technical, and other personnel, except as may be otherwise provided by law. By the act of June 23, 1930, entitled "An act to reorganize the Federal Power Commission," sections 1 and 2 of the Federal Water Power Act of June 10, 1920, were amended. A commission was provided for to be composed of five commissioners to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The necessity of performing the work through the Departments of War, Interior, and Agriculture was also removed and the Commission authorized to appoint such officers and employees as are necessary in the execution of its functions. By title II of the Public Utility Act of 1935, approved August 26, 1935, the original Federal Water Power Act was made part I of the Federal Power Act, and parts II and III added to that act. The law also provides that no water-power license affecting the navigable capacity of any navigable waters of the United States shall be issued until the plans of the dam or other structures affecting navigation have been approved by the Chief of Engineers and the Secretary of the 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 ascertaining whether or not the jurisdiction of the Federal Power Commission will attach. To July 1, 1941, the following work of an engineering nature had been referred to the Department of the Army by the Commission: Engineering reports submitted__------ ------------------------314 121 Reports submitted on declaration of intention____________________ Public hearing held ----------74 Licenses and permits referred for field supervision _____-___________ 144 Licenses and permits referred for supervision of stream gaging-----------2 2391 2392 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

The laws enacted for the preservation of the tidal waters of New York Harbor, its adjacent or tributary waters, and the waters of Long Island Sound are administered by the supervisor of New York Harbor, a line officer of the Navy, under the direction of the Secretary of the Army. The supervisor is charged under the laws with the duties of preventing any obstructive or injurious deposits in the waters under his jurisdiction and the prevention of any interference with safe navigation of the channels of the harbor by deep-draft vessels. MISCELLANEOUS 2395 CIVIL WORKS The laws relating to the supervision of New York Harbor are acts of Congress of June 29, 1888 (25 Stat. 209), amended by section 8 of act of May 28, 1908 (35 Stat. 424-426); act of Congress of August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. 360) ; act of 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). Operationsand results during fiscal year.-Notices to acquaint navigation interests with the laws and regulations relating to the harbor were issued with a view to obtaining cooperation in their administration; dumping grounds for stone, ashes, mud, cellar dirt, sewerage sludge, and other refuse were designated; and 3,712 permits were issued for the removal of approximately 29,079,899 cubic yards of material. Soundings were taken at frequent intervals over the designated dumping areas to insure that sufficient depth of waters was maintained. Supervision was exercised by means of inspectors and patrols. Patrols were maintained to insure that no material was deposited at places other than the designated dumping grounds and to keep the main channels free of any interference to the safe navigation of these channels by deep-draft vessels; to prevent the discharge into navigable waters of waste oil and sludge, rubbish, and waste resulting from loading operations. The amounts of material reported to have been removed were constantly checked by the patrols.

The board is charged with the duty of formulating and administering rules under which the power plant and accessories are to be operated to prevent as nearly as possible a level of water at the dam higher than 203.5 (mean sea-level datum), and to secure to the users of water below Grand Falls the flow of water to which they are entitled. The board is also charged with the supervision of the operation of all fishways on that portion of the St. Croix River that forms the international boundary. On October 2, 1934, the International Joint Commission issued an order approving the reconstruction of the dam, owned by Canadian Cottons, Ltd., extending across the St. Croix River from Milltown in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada, to Milltown in the State of Maine, United States of America, which contained the following conditions: 1. That the reconstructed dam be so operated as to ensure that the forebay levels rise to no higher elevation than that which has heretofore obtained in the operation of the dam now being replaced. 2. That during times of flood the sluiceways of the dam shall be suficiently open to ensure passage of the river flow. 2398 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 3. That the operation of the dam, insofar as is necessary to ensure the observance of the provisions of this order, be under the supervision of the International St. Croix River Board of Control. Members of the Board.-The members of the Board for the fiscal year 1952 were Mr. T. M. Patterson, Water Resources Division, Department of Resources and Development, Ottawa, Ontario, for Canada, and Col. H. J. Woodbury, Corps of Engineers, for the United States. Operationsduring the fiscal year.-Supervision was maintained and inspections made to ensure that the regulations of the International Joint Commission were carried out. Proposed operations.-Only such correspondence and inspections as may be necessary to carry out the regulations of the International Joint Commission. THE INTERNATIONAL LAKE CHAMPLAIN BOARD OF CONTROL Constitutionand duties.-The Board was organized pursuant to the provisions of the orders, dated June 10, 1937, of the International Joint Commission, approving the construction and operation of certain remedial works in the Richelieu River at Fryers Island in the Province of Quebec, Dominion of Canada. This board is charged with the responsibility of ensuring compliance with the provisions of the order of approval insofar as they relate to the regulation of the levels of Lake Champlain. Members of the Board.-The members of the board for the fiscal year 1952 were Mr. T. M. Patterson of the department of resources and development, water resources division, for Canada, and Col. A. H. Davidson, Jr., Corps of Engineers, for the United States. Operationsand results during fiscal year.-None. The construction of the Fryers Island control dam was completed in December 1938. Gates have been installed but have not been operated, pending excavation of the natural river control upstream from the dam. Proposed operations.-Only such administrative work and inspections as may be necessary to carry out the regulations of the International Joint Commission will be performed. NIAGARA CONTROL BOARD Constitution and duties.-The Niagara Control Board was constituted in August 1923 to measure and supervise the diversion of waters from the Niagara River so that the level of Lake Erie and the flow of the stream shall not be affected, in accordance with the provisions of article V, treaty between the United States and Great Britainboundary 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 Executive Report No. 8, 77th Congress, 1st session, authorized June 12, 1941, for defense purposes, additional diversion of 3,000 cubic feet per sec- MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2399 ond 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 diversion, 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 concerning uses of the waters of the Niagara River was signed on February 27, 1950. By its provisions, the limitations on use of diversion water 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, water resources division, department of resources and development, 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. Philip R. Garges has been district engineer since April 21, 1952. Operations during the fiscal year.-The Board received daily reports of operations of the six hydroelectric generating stations on the Niagara River, all of which divert water above the falls. These reports, submitted in the 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 prepared. Weekly and intermittent inspections of all plants were made by representatives of the board members, jointly and individually, to obtain independent watt-meter readings of power output and to assure that all provisions of 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. 2400 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 SPECIAL INTERNATIONAL NIAGARA BOARD In 1926 the Niagara control board was enlarged by the addition of two members-Dr. J. Horace McFarland being the additional United States member and Dr. Charles Camsell the additional Canadian member-for an extended investigation into the preservation of the scenic beauty of the falls and analysis of all factors relative thereto. The enlarged board was constituted into a special international Niagara board for the purpose of carrying on this investigation. On December 11, 1929, the special international Niagara board submitted its final report to the two governments, with recommendations in regard to remedial works, additional diversions, etc. This report was printed as Senate Document No. 128, 71st Congress, 2d 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 special international Niagara board. INTERNATIONAL MASSENA BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties.--An order of the International Joint Commission issued after a hearing on the application of the St. Lawrence River Power Co. for permission to continue to maintain the submerged rock weir constructed by the company in the south Sault Channel of the St. Lawrence River, authorized the 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, water resources division, department of resources and development. 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 Massena board of control. Col. Philip R. Garges has been district engineer since April 21, 1952. 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. MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2401 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, and to so controlling the outflow as to prevent the level of St. Marys River below the locks from exceeding elevation 584.5. Members of the Board.-The members of the board were Lt. Col. John D. Bristor, Corps of Engineers, for the United States, and Mr. T. M. Patterson, who succeeded Mr. Norman Marr in June 1952, for Canada. Operations during the fiscal year.-The board kept in touch during the year with conditions pertaining to the regulation of Lake Superior, through representatives of Canada and the United States 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 November 8, 1951. Changes in the rate of outflow from Lake Superior are directed as the need therefor is indicated by the water level records. Although the supplies to the lake during the first half of 1952 did not differ materially from the average, the lake stage at the beginning of the calendar year was considerably higher than the average, and the stage has continued high to date. Since May 1, 1952, the outflow from Lake Superior has been reduced from what would have otherwise been directed because of the extremely high levels prevailing in Lakes MichiganHuron. Because of the high levels in Michigan-Huron, and consequently in the lower St. Marys River, the board held two special meetings, one in Detroit, Mich., on April 9, 1952, and one in Ottawa, Ontario, on June 10, 1952, to consider the high-water situation and determine the best setting of the compensating gates in the interests of all concerned. It appears (at the end of the present fiscal year) that the crest of the seasonal stage cycle may again approximate 603.6. 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, department of resources and development, for Canada, and Col. David A. Morris, Corps of Engineers, to July 18, 1951, and Col. George Kumpe, Corps of Engineers, since that date for the United States. 2402 REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1952 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 maintenance of a Canadian Lake of the Woods control board to regulate and control the outflow of the waters of the lake, and for the establishment and maintenance of an International Lake of the Woods control board, composed of two engineers, one representing the United States and the other representing Canada, to whose 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 empowered to adopt such measures of control as to it may seem proper with respect to existing dams at Kettle Falls and Internationl 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 during 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 commission. INTERNATIONAL PRAIRIE PORTAGE BOARD OF CONTROL The Prairie Portage board of control was formed by the International 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 commission, the board has been retained to advise the Commission further regarding progress of constuction and regarding any other matters which might arise concerning this project.
